Objective To investigate the role of sLOX?1 and leptin in metabolic syndrome ,glucose and lipid metabolism. Methods 58 patients with metabolic syndrome were included in the study ,with other 35 normal controls as control group. Fasting venous blood samples were collected. ELISA method was used to detect serum sLOX?1 and leptin levels. The related biochemical indicators were tested. Results The sLOX?1 and leptin levels in the metabolic syndrome group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P < 0.01). The levels of sLOX?1 and leptin were further compared between different genders. The differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). sLOX?1 and leptin levels were positively correlated. They were positively correlated with WAIST,TG,SBP,DBP,and negatively correlated with HDL?C. Leptin and age,FPG also had positive correlation,but sLOX?1 was not correlated with age and FPG. Conclusion sLOX?1 may be able to predict endothelial damage in patients with metabolic syndrome in an early stage. Combined with leptin ,the endothelial dysfunction could be reflected more accurately. They may be the important factors for early diagnosis and risk assessment of metabolic syndrome.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at Neiguan (PC6) on arrhythmia during acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and the expression of connexin 43 (Cx43) in rats. Methods: A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley male rats were used. Ten rats were randomly selected as the blank group, and the remaining 30 rats were randomly divided into a model group and an EA group, with 15 rats in each group. Before modeling, rats in the EA group received one session of EA intervention at bilateral Neiguan (PC6) for 30 min; the other groups were treated with the same grasping and anesthesia for 30 min without intervention. PowerLab physiological recorder was used to record electrocardiograph within 30 min of infarction. After the experiment, cardiac tissue and serum were collected from rats. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the morphological changes of myocardial tissue in the ventricular infarction area of rats in each group. The expression of Cx43 protein in the myocardium of each group was detected by Western blotting (WB). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase in myocardial tissue and the serum content of endogenous digitalis-like factor (EDLF) in rats. Results: There was no statistical difference in arrhythmia score between the EA group and the model group, but the total duration and average duration of arrhythmia in the EA group were decreased (P<0.01). HE staining showed that compared with the blank group, myocardial cells in the model group were disorganized and seriously damaged. The pathological changes in the EA group were similar to those in the model group, but the damage was relatively minor. The results of WB showed that compared with the blank group, the Cx43 expression in myocardial tissue of the model group was decreased (P<0.01); compared with the model group, the Cx43 expression in the EA group was increased (P<0.01); compared with the blank group, the Na+-K+-ATPase activity in myocardial tissue of the model group was significantly decreased (P<0.01); compared with the model group, the Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the EA group was increased (P<0.01). ELISA results showed that compared with the blank group, the serum EDLF content in the model group was significantly increased (P<0.01); compared with the model group, the EDLF content in the EA group was decreased (P<0.01). Conclusion: EA at Neiguan (PC6) can delay and reduce the onset of arrhythmia during myocardial infarction in the rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. Its mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of the Cx43 expression in myocardial tissue, improvement of the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase in myocardial tissue, and increase in the content of serum EDLF.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and their warning effectiveness for meniscus tear secondary to delayed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 114 patients (114 knees) with ACL injury, who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from December 2018 to December 2023, including 78 males and 36 females, aged 11-50 years [29(21, 35)years]. The patients were divided into tear group ( n=46) and non-tear group ( n=68) according to whether combined with meniscus tear or not during the surgery. Gender, age, duration of disease, smoking history, Body Mass Index (BMI), cause of injury, mechanism of injury, side of the injury, Beighton score, difference of KT-2000 examination, Tegner activity scale of the knee joint, anterior tibial translation sign, medial posterior tibial slope angle, lateral posterior tibial slope angle, and pivot shift grading of the patients in the two groups were recorded. Correlations between the above-mentioned indicators and occurrence of meniscus tear secondary to delayed ACL reconstruction were assessed. In the meantime, the independent risk factors were determined by univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the warning effectiveness of each risk factor for meniscal tear secondary to delayed ACL reconstruction. Results:Univariate analysis showed correlation of duration of disease, BMI, Tegner activity scale of the knee joint, medial posterior tibial slope angle, lateral posterior tibial slope angle and high-grade pivot shift with occurrence of meniscus tear secondary to delayed ACL reconstruction ( P<0.01). The results of multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of disease ≥14.5 weeks ( OR=1.20, 95% CI 1.05, 1.38, P<0.01), BMI≥26.9 kg/m 2 ( OR=1.36, 95% CI 1.03, 1.81, P<0.05), Tegner activity scale of the knee joint ≥4 points ( OR=2.29, 95% CI 1.18, 4.46, P<0.05), medial posterior tibial slope angle ≥11.2° ( OR=2.27, 95% CI 1.06, 4.89, P<0.05) and high-grade pivot shift ( OR=0.03, 95% CI 0.01, 0.03, P<0.05) were significantly correlated with occurrence of meniscus tear secondary to delayed ACL reconstruction. Results of ROC curve analysis showed that the medial posterior tibial slope angle (AUC=0.86, 95% CI 0.80, 0.93) and duration of disease (AUC=0.85, 95% CI 0.77, 0.92) had good warning value, BMI (AUC=0.78, 95% CI 0.69, 0.87) and Tegner activity scale of the knee joint (AUC=0.73, 95% CI 0.64, 0.83) had ordinary warning value, and the warning value of high-grade pivot shift (AUC=0.60, 95% CI 0.49, 0.71) was the lowest. The combination of the risk factors revealed superior warning effectiveness for meniscus tear second to delayed ACL reconstruction (AUC=0.97, 95% CI 0.96, 1.00). Conclusions:The duration of disease ≥14.5 weeks, BMI ≥26.9 kg/m 2, Tegner score ≥4 points, medial posterior tibial slope angle ≥11.2°and high-grade pivot shift are independent risk factors for meniscus tear secondary to delayed ACL reconstruction. The medial posterior tibial slope angle and duration of disease have good warning value, BMI and Tegner scores have ordinary warning value and high-grade pivot shift has the lowest warning value. The combination of the above risk factors has better warning effectiveness for meniscus tear secondary to delayed ACL reconstruction.
