MicroRNAs( miRNAs)are a family of endogenous noncoding small RNA molecules that are approximately 20 nucleotides in length. Aberrant expression or dysfunction of miRNAs and subsequent dysregulation of their target genes might be involved in the occurrence and development of various cancers. Gastric cancer is a leading malignant disease worldwide. Recent studies have shown that some miRNAs are closely associated with the proliferation,migration,invasion, apoptosis and chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells by regulating their target genes. Advances in study on gastric cancer-related miRNAs,their target genes,and the use of miRNAs-targeted therapy in gastric cancer were reviewed in this article.

Objective To establish an analytical method for assessing acetylcysteine in human plasma and study the relative bioavailability and bioequivalence of acetylcysteine granules in Chinese healthy volunteers. Methods In the randomized crossover study, 24 healthy male volunteers received a single oral dose of 0. 6 g test acetylcysteine granules, reference acetylcysteine granules or no medication. The plasma concentration of acetylcysteine was determined by LC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and bioequivalence of two preparations were evaluated by DAS3. 0 software. Results The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the test and reference preparations were as follows:AUC0→t was (8 547. 64± 2 860.04) and (8 783.07±4 042. 10) μg·h·L-1, respectively; AUC0→∞ was (9 481. 64±3 444. 76) and (9 540. 51± 4 239. 30) μg·h·L-1, respectively;Cmax was (1 994. 39±726. 42) and (2 090. 27±885. 46) μg·L-1, respectively;tmax was (1.18±0. 60) and (1. 13±0. 53) h, respectively; t1/2 was (8. 60±3. 76) and (7. 75±5. 01) h, respectively. The relative bioavailability F0→t and F0→∞ was ( 107. 0 ± 43. 3 )% and ( 106. 5 ± 40. 1 )%, respectively. Conclusion The results of statistical analysis indicate that the test and reference formulations are bioequivalent.

Objective To prepare a novel photosensitive nanoparticle and to evaluate its physicochemical properties,and effect on the efficacy of photodynamic therapy.Methods 5,15-dibromo-10,20-diphenylporphine(DBN),tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile(TFN),and the amphiphilic polymer methoxy-polyethylene glycol-distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine(DSPE-MPEG2000,PEG)were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran(THF)by co-precipitation method to prepare novel photosensitive nanoparticles,named DBN/TFN@PEG.The physicochemical properties of DBN/TFN@PEG were characterized.Both novel and conventional nanoparticles were continuously irradiated with a 660 nm laser,and the fluorescence intensity of nanoparticles,representing reactive oxygen species(ROS)production levels,was measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer at different irradiation times.Tumor cells were co-incubated with the nanoparticles and irradiated with a 660 nm laser.ROS levels within the tumor cells were detected using immunofluorescence,and the ratio of dead to live tumor cells was determined using PI/Calcein-AM staining.Results Prepared DBN/TFN@PEG nanoparticles with hydrated particle size of approximately 107.8 nm were uniformly distributed in the solution.Compared to conventional nanoparticles,the ROS production capacity of DBN/TFN@PEG was significantly higher(P<0.01).Immunofluorescence results showed that the generation of ROS levels in the tumor cells of DBN/TFN@PEG group were significantly higher than in the conventional nanoparticles group under laser irradiation(P<0.01).PI/Calcein-AM staining results indicated a significantly higher ratio of dead tumor cells in the DBN/TFN@PEG group compared to the conventional nanoparticle group(P<0.01).Conclusions DBN/TFN@PEG has stable physicochemical properties and uniform distribution in the solution.As effective photosensitizers,DBN/TFN@PEG can exhibit stronger ability to induce ROS generation in tumor cells,and may enhance the efficacy of photodynamic therapy in cancer.
4.Application effect of 5E rehabilitation management model in the rehabilitation of stroke patients with hemiplegia
Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2022;28(30):4264-4267
Objective:To explore the application effect of 5E rehabilitation management model in the rehabilitation of stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods:A total of 98 stroke patients with hemiplegia who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2020 to April 2021 were selected by the convenient sampling method. According to the random number table method, they were divided into the control group ( n=49) and the experimental group ( n=49) . The control group adopted the conventional rehabilitation management mode of stroke hemiplegia, while the experimental group adopted the 5E rehabilitation management model. Motor function and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results:After 3 months of intervention, the motor function scores and quality of life scores of the experimental group and the control group were higher than those before intervention, and the motor function scores and quality of life scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The 5E rehabilitation management model can improve the outcome of limb function rehabilitation and improve the quality of life of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective:To assess the predictive value of a combined multiclassification model for computed tomography(CT)in the patholo-gical analysis of ground-glass nodules(GGN).Methods:Pulmonary GGN lesions that were pathologically confirmed as invasive adenocar-cinoma(IAC),minimally invasive adenocarcinoma(MIA),adenocarcinoma in situ(AIS),and preinvasive lesions(PILs),were collected from pa-tients who were treated at The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University between February 2019 and March 2023.A total of 324 nodules were retrospectively collected from 285 patients,and divided into three groups:infiltrating IAC,MIA,and PILs.Radiomics and clinical-CT features were selected through recursive feature elimination and univariate Logistic regression.Seven models were constructed using Logistic regression(LR),support vector machine(SVM),random forest(RF),and integrative learning(stacking).Results:The hybrid model combining clinical-CT-radiomics features and an integrative strategy showed superior predictive performance,with an accuracy of 0.791,precision of 0.788,specificity of 0.857,recall of 0.790,and F1-Score of 0.789.Conclusions:The multiclassification joint model based on CT-radiomics is effective in predicting pathological classification of pulmonary GGNs.This model aids in accurate imaging diagnosis and can provide a basis for optimizing treatment plans.

Objective To compare the effects of ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 on depression-and anxiety-like behaviors in chronic unpredictable stress-induced rats.Methods Seventy male SPF grade SD rats were tested for sugar and water preference after 5 days of adaptation and divided into seven groups according to their preference index:a control group,model group,fluoxetine hydrochloride group,ginsenoside Rg1 24 mg/kg group,ginsenoside Rg1 48 mg/kg group,ginsenoside Rb1 33 mg/kg group,and ginsenoside Rb1 67 mg/kg group.All rats,except for the control group,were subjected randomly to one or two different stimulating factors every day for a total of 35 days.On the 36th day,behavioral experiments including sugar and water preference,open field,novel environment feeding inhibition,elevated cross maze,and forced swimming experiments were conducted to investigate the anti-depression and anti-anxiety effects of the treatments.Serum and hippocampal levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and serum corticosterone were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Compared with the model group,ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 significantly increased sucrose consumption in the sucrose preference test and decreased immobility in the forced swimming test.Ginsenoside Rg1(48 mg/kg)significantly reduced the latency to eat in the novelty-suppressed feeding test,and ginsenoside Rg1(24 and 48 mg/kg)significantly increased the percentage of open arm entries and time in the elevated cross maze test.Serum corticosterone levels were significantly decreased in the ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 groups,serum IL-1β and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased in the ginsenoside Rg1(48 mg/kg)group,serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased in the ginsenoside Rb1(33 mg/kg)group,and IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α levels in the hippocampus were significantly decreased in the ginsenoside Rg1(48 mg/kg)and Rb1(67 mg/kg)groups.Conclusions Both ginsenosides can regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and inhibit neuroinflammation,improving depression-and anxiety-like behaviors in rats induced by chronic unpredictable stress.Ginsenoside Rg1 has a significantly better anti-anxiety effect than Rb1.
