Objective Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is generally considered to be accompanied by both left and right ventricular dysfunction,but most studies only analyze the left ventricular function. In this study, we evaluated the effect of arotinolol on right ventricular function in patients with DCM. Methods Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) and right ventricular diameter (RVD) were measured by two-dimensional echocardiography (2-DE) in 33 DCM patients; RVEF measured by first-pass radionuclide angiography (FPRA) was compared with that by 2-DE. Results The treatment with arotinolol for one year resulted in a reduction in the right ventricular diameter (baseline, 23.0 ± 8.3 mm vs after one-year treatment, 20.7 ± 5.4 mm; P=0.004 ) and an associated increase in ejection fraction (baseline, 36.9 ± 10.3% vs after one-year treatment, 45.8 ± 9.6%; P ＜ 0.001 ); there is a high correlation between the 2-DE method and radionuclide ventriculographic method. The correlation coefficient is 0.933 (P＜0.001). Conclusion Arotinolol therapy could not only improve left ventricular function, but also improve right ventricular function in DCM patients.

Objective To prospectively evaluate the short-term test-retest reproducibility of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters for lung cancer,and to investigate its impact factors.Methods Thirty-eight lung cancer patients underwent twice free breathing IVIM scanning (0.5-1.0 h interval).Two radiologists independently analyzed IVIM images to obtain true diffusion coefficient (D),pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*) and perfusion fraction (f).All the parameters were compared between repeated measurements and scans.Intra-and inter-observer,test-retest reproducibility was assessed with interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs).The impact of lung cancer type (peripheral and central),size (the largest diameter ≥2 cm and ＜2 cm) and location (upper,mid,and lower lung field) on short-term reproducibility were compared by using coefficient of variations (WCVs).Results There was no significant difference between repeated measurements for all parameters (all P＞ 0.05).All the parameters showed good intra-and inter-observer agreement.WCVsof D* and f (19.88％-36.83％) were higher than those of D (2.97％-4.62％).WCVs of D were higher for central lung cancer and the largest diameter ＜2 cm,and increasing from apical to lower zone.WCV of f was larger in the central lung cancer and the largest diameter ≥2 cm,while D* was greatly influenced by type,size and location of lung cancer.Conclusion The test retest reproducibility of D is good,while of D* and f are poor in lung cancer.The type,size and location of lung cancers are the impact factors of IVIM parameters.

Objective To analyze the expression levels and clinical significance of serum 25 (OH) D3and immunoglobulin E (IgE) in children with bronchiolitis injected by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).Methods Ninety-six patients with RSV bronchiolitis were collected in our hospital from January 2015to July 2016.During the same period, ninety-six healthy children were collected as control group.Ninety-six patients with RSV bronchiolitis were divided into three groups according to the classification scheme of ExpertConsensusonDi agnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Bronchiolitis (2014).Serum levels of 25 (OH) D3 were recorded by using ELISA at 24hours after enrollment.At the same time, serum levels of IgE were tested.Results The serum 25 (OH) D3level was significantly lower in the observation group than that in the control group[ (55.2±10.3) nmol/L vs. (70.9±17.5) nmol/L, P＜0.05].The serum IgE level was significantly higher in the observation group than that in the control group[ (169.6±50.8) pg/mL vs. (66.8±26.3) ng/mL, P＜0.05].The serum 25 (OH) D3level decreased gradually with more severe symptoms and it was negatively correlated with the severity of illness (r=-0.75, P＜0.01).The serum IgE level increased gradually with more severe symptoms and it was positively correlated with the severity of illness (r=0.71, P＜0.01).Conclusion Serum25 (OH) D3and IgE may play important roles in the development and progression of respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis.

Objective To observe the effects and regulatory mechanism of rotavirus infection on the expression and bioactivity of Na+/H+exchanger 3 (NHE3) on Caco-2 cells. Methods A cell model of Caco-2 cells expressing NHE3 was constructed. Four groups were set up,which were control(CTL) group, rotavirus(RV) infection group, Cdc42 inhibitor (Pirl-1) group and Pirl-1+RV group. Bioactivity and ex-pression of NHE3 on the surface of Caco-2 cells were determined by BCECF-AM and biotinylation method, respectively. Expression of Cdc42 protein was measured by Western blot. Co-immunoprecipitation was per-formed to detect the interaction between NHE3 and Cdc42. Results Compared with the CTL group,RV in-fection significantly inhibited the bioactivity and expression of NHE3 on Caco-2 cells. These inhibitory effects were antagonized by Pirl-1. Moreover,RV infection enhanced the expression of Cdc42 protein and promoted the interaction between NHE3 and Cdc42, which were also antagonized by Pirl-1. Conclusion RV infec-tion might regulate the expression and bioactivity of NHE3 through Cdc42-dependent endocytosis pathway.

Purpose: Mixed-lineage leukemia protein 4 (MLL4/KMT2D) is a histone methyltransferase, and its mutation has been reported to be associated with a poor prognosis in many cancers, including lung cancer. We investigated the function of MLL4 in lung carcinogenesis. Materials and Methods: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in A549 cells transfected with control siRNA or MLL4 siRNA was performed. Also, we used EdU incorporation assay, colony formation assays, growth curve analysis, transwell invasion assays, immunohistochemical staining, and in vivo bioluminescence assay to investigate the function of MLL4 in lung carcinogenesis. Results: We found that MLL4 expression was downregulated in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues and tended to decrease with disease stage progression. We analyzed the transcriptomes in control and MLL4- deficient cells using high-throughput RNA deep sequencing (RNA-seq) and identified a cohort of target genes, such as SOX2, ATF1, FOXP4, PIK3IP1, SIRT4, TENT5B, and LFNG, some of which are related to proliferation and metastasis. Our results showed that low expression of MLL4 promotes NSCLC cell proliferation and metastasis and is required for the maintenance of NSCLC stem cell properties. Conclusion Our findings identify an important role of MLL4 in lung carcinogenesis through transcriptional regulation of PIK3IP1, affecting the PI3K/AKT/SOX2 axis, and suggest that MLL4 could be a potential prognostic indicator and target for NSCLC therapy.

Objective: Previous research has explored a variety of mental disorders associated with Internet Gaming Disoder (IGD) and Social Media Addiction (SMA). To date, few studies focused on the network characteristics and investigated mood and sleep symptoms across SMA and IGD of adolescence at a group-specific level. This study aims to identify different characteristics of IGD and SMA and further determine the group-specific psychopathology process among adolescents. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to recruit a cohort of 7,246 adolescents who were scored passing the cutoff point of Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form and Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, as grouped in IGD and SMA, or otherwise into the control group. Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were assessed for the current study, and all assessed items were investigated using network analysis. Results: Based on the analytical procedure, the participants were divided into three groups, the IGD group (n=789), SMA group (n=713) and control group (n=5,744). The edge weight bootstrapping analysis shows that different groups of networks reach certain accuracy, and the network structures of the three groups are statistically different (pcontrol-IGD=0.004, pcontrol-SMA<0.001, pIGD-SMA<0.001). The core symptom of SMA is “feeling down, depressed, or hopeless”, while IGD is “feeling tired or having little energy”. Conclusion Although IGD and SMA are both subtypes of internet addiction, the psychopathology processes of IGD and SMA are different. When dealing with IGD and SMA, different symptoms should be addressed.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers in China and analyze the factor influencing the KAP.Methods:A self-developed questionnaire was used for an online research on the KAP of 11 849 pediatric healthcare providers from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities of China from March 11 to 14, 2022.The factors influencing the KAP of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers were examined by Logistic regression. Results:The scores of KAP, of pulse oximetry were 5.57±0.96, 11.24±1.25 and 11.19±4.54, respectively.The corresponding scoring rates were 69.61%, 74.95%, and 55.99%, respectively. Logistic regression results showed that the gender and working years of pediatric healthcare providers, the region they were located, and whether their medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters were the main factors affecting the knowledge score (all P<0.05). Main factors influencing the attitude score of pediatric healthcare providers included their knowledge score, gender, educational background, working years, region, medical institution level, and whether the medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). For the practice score, the main influencing factors were the knowledge score, gender, age, and whether the medi-cal institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Chinese pediatric healthcare providers need to further improve their knowledge about and attitudes towards pulse oximetry.Pulse oximeters are evidently under-used.It is urgent to formulate policies or guidelines, strengthen education and training, improve knowledge and attitudes, equip more institutions with pulse oximeters, and popularize their application in medical institutions.
