Objective To explore the appropriately operative chance , method, and perioperative management of coronary arterybypass grafting (CABG) in the patients with severe left main artery (LMA) stenosis with three-vessel-disease.Methods A total of296 patients with severe LMA stenosis with three-vessel-disease who underwent CABG surgery was analyzed retrospectively from 2003through 2013.Of them, 276 patients underwent conventional coronary artery bypass surgery on pump ( CCABG)and 20 patients underwentoff-pump CABG( OPCAB); 172 Patients was over 60 years old (58.1%)and 246 patients (83.10%) had concomitant diseasesincluding valve lesion, hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction, left ventricular aneurysm with septal defect , stroke, renal failure,and cancer.Left internal mammary artery use was in 281 patients (95.1%); and 32 patients were implanted intra-aortic ballonpump(IABP) perioperatively.Results There were 7 cases(2.36 %) death of postoperative low cardiac output , ventricular fibrillation,cerebral infarction, renal failure, and multiple organ failure, respectively.Postoperative complications were low cardiac output ,respiratory failure , ventricular fibrillation, cereboembolism, cardiac tampomade, renal failure, stroke, and multiple organ failure.Afterfollow-up 2 to 84 months, there was 3 death in which 2 death of cardiac factors.Conclusions CCABG was a safe and effectivemethod in patients with severe LMA stenosis with severe three -vessel-disease.Preoperative insertion of IABP can certainly avoid the po -tential operative risk factor and significantly decrease the mortality and morbidity .

Studies of human and mammalian have revealed that environmental exposure can affect paternal health conditions as well as those of the offspring. However, studies that explore the mechanisms that meditate this transmission are rare. Recently, small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) in sperm have seemed crucial to this transmission due to their alteration in sperm in response to environmental exposure, and the methodology of microinjection of isolated total RNA or sncRNAs or synthetically identified sncRNAs gradually lifted the veil of sncRNA regulation during intergenerational inheritance along the male line. Hence, by reviewing relevant literature, this study intends to answer the following research concepts: (1) paternal environmental factors that can be passed on to offspring and are attributed to spermatozoal sncRNAs, (2) potential role of paternal spermatozoal sncRNAs during the intergenerational inheritance process, and (3) the potential mechanism by which spermatozoal sncRNAs meditate intergenerational inheritance. In summary, increased attention highlights the hidden wonder of spermatozoal sncRNAs during intergenerational inheritance. Therefore, in the future, more studies should focus on the origin of RNA alteration, the target of RNA regulation, and how sncRNA regulation during embryonic development can be sustained even in adult offspring.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which makes up the majority of liver cancer, is induced by the infection of hepatitis B/C virus. Biomarkers are needed to facilitate the early detection of HCC, which is often diagnosed too late for effective therapy. The tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) play vital roles in tumorigenesis and are stable in circulation. However, the diagnostic values and biological functions of circulating tsRNAs, especially for HCC, are still unknown. In this study, we first utilized RNA sequencing followed by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR to analyze tsRNA signatures in HCC serum. We identified tRF-Gln-TTG-006, which was remarkably upregulated in HCC serum (training cohort: 24 HCC patients vs. 24 healthy controls). In the validation stage, we found that tRF-Gln-TTG-006 signature could distinguish HCC cases from healthy subjects with high sensitivity (80.4%) and specificity (79.4%) even in the early stage (Stage I: sensitivity, 79.0%; specificity, 74.8%; 155 healthy controls vs. 153 HCC patients from two cohorts). Moreover, in vitro studies indicated that circulating tRF-Gln-TTG-006 was released from tumor cells, and its biological function was predicted by bioinformatics assay and validated by colony formation and apoptosis assays. In summary, our study demonstrated that serum tsRNA signature may serve as a novel biomarker of HCC.
