Subintimal angioplasty had been widely used in the intervention of lower extremity arterial obliterans disease in recent years.True lumen re-entry is the key to subintimal angioplasty.This comprehensive exposition of the true lumen re-entry can improve the chances of ultrasound and subintimal arterial flossing with antegraderetrograde intervention and catheter systems and other emerging technologies in the application of subintimal angioplasty,and various types of technology advantages and disadvantages.

Objective To analyze the changes in the protein expression profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in systemic lupus erythematosus patients. Methods Peripheral blood was obtained from SLE patients and healthy controls, then mononuclear cells were isolated and the total protein was extracted by one-step method. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was performed and then stained with silver. Protein maps were analyzed and differentially expressed protein spots were detected using ImageMaster 2D Platinum 5.0 software. Results Match rates of (71±4)% and (72±4)% was obtained from gels from controls and pati-ents respectively. 791±17 spots were detected from control gels and 781±17 from patient gels. Eleven protein spots were up-regulated and 9 were down-regulated in SLE patients. Five proteins were identified by MS analysis, some of which had previously been shown to play a potential role in the pathogenesis of SLE. Conclusion There are significant changes in the protein expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in systemic lupus erythematosus patients. This study could be used as a preliminary work for better understanding of the pathogenesis and immune regulation pathways of SLE from an integrated lymphocyte protein profile perspective.

Objective:To investigate the role of Caveolin (Cav-3)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway in reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by morphine preconditioning in rats with chronic heart failure.Methods:Clean-grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g, were used in this study.Chronic heart failure was induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 6 weeks.Thirty-six Langendorff-perfused hearts with chronic heart failure were divided into 4 groups ( n=9 each) by a random number table method: myocardial I/R group (group IR), morphine preconditioning group (group MP), morphine preconditioning plus methyl-β-cyclodextrin group (group MP+ MβCD), and methyl-β-cyclodextrin group (group MβCD). Global myocardial I/R was induced by 30 min ischemia followed by 120 min reperfusion.In group MP, after 15 min of equilibration, hearts were subjected to 3 cycles of 5 min perfusion with K-H solution containing 1 μmol/L morphine for preconditioning followed by 5 min perfusion with K-H solution, 30 min in total, and after the end of treatment, hearts were subjected to 30 min ischemia followed by 120 min reperfusion.In group MP+ MβCD, hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing 200 μmol/L methyl-β-cyclodextrin at 10 min before preconditioning with morphine, and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group MP.In group MβCD, hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing 200 μmol/L methyl-β-cyclodextrin at 40 min before ischemia, and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group IR.At the end of 15 min of equilibration (T 0) and 5 and 10 min of reperfusion (T 1, 2), coronary outflow was collected for determination of actate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity by chemical colorimetry.Myocardial infarct size (IS) and area at risk (AAR) were measured, and IS/AAR was calculated at the end of 120 min reperfusion.Myocardial tissues of left ventricle were taken to detect the expression of Cav-3, ERK1/2 and phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) by Western blot, and p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 ratio was calculated. Results:Compared with group IR, IS, IS/AAR and LDH activity in coronary outflow were significantly decreased, the expression of Cav-3 was up-regulated, and p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 ratio was increased in group MP ( P<0.05). Compared with group MP, IS, IS/AAR and LDH activity in coronary outflow were significantly increased, the expression of Cav-3 was down-regulated, and p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 ratio was decreased in group MP+ MβCD ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which morphine preconditioning reduces I/R injury may be related to activation of Cav-3/ERK signaling pathway in rats with chronic heart failure.

Ocular diseases pose a significant challenge to global health. The field of metabolomics, which involves the systematic identification and quantification of metabolites within a biological system, has emerged as a promising research approach for unraveling disease mechanisms and discovering novel biomarkers. Through its application, metabolomics has yielded valuable knowledge pertaining to the initiation and advancement of various ocular diseases. This review presents an overview of metabolomics and examines recent research progess in four ocular diseases, specifically diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and dry eye, summarizing potential biomarkers and metabolic pathways associated with these diseases. Additionally, this review offers insights into the future prospects of utilizing metabolomics for the management and treatment of ocular diseases.
