Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment in solving symptomatic cerebral artery tandem lesions.Methods:From June 201 2 to February 201 4,1 2 cases (24 lesions)with symptomatic cerebral artery tandem lesions were accepted for the endovascular treatment. The distributions of the tandem lesions were as follows:the common carotid artery and internal carotid ar-tery (1 case),the internal carotid artery and the proximal of the carotid cavernous sinus segment (3 ca-ses),the internal carotid artery and the distal of the carotid cavernous sinus segment (4 cases),the in-tracranial segment of internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery M1 segment (2 cases),the first segment of vertebral artery and intracranial segment of vertebral artery (2 cases).All of these cases were treated from distal lesions to proximal lesions except for tandem lesions in the internal carotid artery and the distal of the carotid cavernous sinus segment in order to obtain better support.Tandem lesions were treated in the same operation with local anesthesia or general anesthesia.The procedures of the 1 2 cases retrospectively were analyzed and the peri-operation complications and responsibility region recurrent is-chemic stroke incidents observed.Results:All tandem lesions were solved successfully all at once.There were no peri-operation complications or recurrent ischemic stroke incidents.There were no recurrent is-chemic stroke incidents or stent restenosis cases in the follow-up.Conclusion:It is safe and effective for selective endovascular treatment in solving symptomatic cerebral artery tandem lesions at the same time, but we should take careful preoperative evaluation and improve the operation plan.

Objective:To analyze correlation factors of hemodynamic damage after carotid artery stenting.Methods:In this study, 66 cases (71 lesions) who undertook carotid artery stenting were col-lected and the correlation factors of hemodynamic damage were analyzed .Results:Hemodynamic damage emerged in 23 cases (32.4%), of which, 11.3%developed hypotension.The distance between bifurca-tion and lesions (P=0.002 0), plaque distribution (P=0.000 2), plaque character (P=0.001 9), post-dilation ( P =0.002 6 ) were associated with hemodynamic damage by single factor analysis . However, only eccentric plaque (P=0.015 3) and calcified plaque (P=0.009 7) were associated with hemodynamic damage by multiple factors analysis .All the patients could reach stable circulation by drugs during operation , and no cerebral ischemic events ( transient ischemic attack or stroke ) and cardiovascu-lar ischemic events happened .Conclusion: The distance between bifurcation and lesions , eccentric plaques, calcified plaques are correlation factors of hemodynamic damage .

Objective To establish the analytical method of oleandrin and adynerin in human blood by HPLC-MS/MS. Methods After protein sediment by acetonitril, the concentrations of oleandrin and adynerin in human blood were quantitatively determined by HPLC-MS/MS. The qualitative analysis was conducted based on retention time and MRM ions. Besides, the standard curve method was used for quantification. Results The detection limits of both oleandrin and adynerin were 0.5ng/mL, the linear range was from 1ng/mL to 1mg/mL, with a recovery rate of 75.2%~95.7%. Conclusion The detecting protocol has the advantages of high sensitivity, fast and high accuracy with a relatively wide linear range, which is especially suitable for rapid detection of oleander toxins, alexandrine and adynerin in particular, in human blood in poisoning cases.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of electroacupuncture on the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1),ATP-binding cassette transporter G1(ABCG1),and class B type Ⅰ scavenger receptor(SR-B Ⅰ)genes and proteins in peritoneal macrophages of atherosclerotic rabbits.The study aimed to explore the mechanism underlying the treatment of atherosclerosis(AS)with electroacupuncture.Methods Twenty-six male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into the negative control group(n=7)and the modeling group(n=19)using a random number table method.The negative control group rabbits were fed a regular diet,while the modeling group was induced with a combination of high-fat feed and common carotid artery balloon injury surgery to create an AS model.After successful modeling,the rabbits in the modeling group were further divided into the model group,the electroacupuncture group,and the atorvastatin group,with 6 rabbits in each group.The rabbits in the electroacupuncture group received electroacupuncture at"'Neiguan'(PC6)","'Zusanli'(ST36)",and"'Guanyuan'(ST25)"acupoints,using a density wave,a current of 1 mA,and a frequency of 4 Hz/20 Hz,once a day.The needle was retained for 20 minutes each time,and a total of 4 courses of treatment were conducted,with 6 days per course.The rabbits in the atorvastatin group were administered atorvastatin calcium tablet suspension(1 mg/kg)orally once a day,for 6 days per course,with a total of 4 courses.After the interventions,HE staining was performed to observe the morphological changes in the common carotid artery tissue of the rabbits.Peritoneal macrophages were collected from the rabbits,and the mRNA expression levels of ABCA1,ABCG1,and SR-B Ⅰ were measured using real-time fluorescence PCR.The protein expression levels of ABCA1,ABCG1,and SR-B Ⅰ were detected using Western blotting.Results The negative control group exhibited smooth intima of common carotid artery in rabbits,while the model group displayed damaged intima of common carotid artery,thickened artery walls,and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.The electroacupuncture group and atorvastatin group showed significant improvements in wall thickening and a reduction in plaque area.Compared with the negative control group,the mRNA and protein expressions of ABCA1,ABCG1,and SR-B Ⅰ in peritoneal macrophages of rabbits in the model group were reduced(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the electroacupuncture group and atorvastatin group exhibited increased mRNA and protein expressions of ABCA1,ABCG1,and SR-B Ⅰ in abdominal macrophages of rabbits(P＜0.01).Furthermore,the atorvastatin group demonstrated increased mRNA levels of ABCG1 and SR-B Ⅰ,as well as increased protein expressions of ABCA1,ABCG1,and SR-B Ⅰ in peritoneal macrophages of rabbits,in comparison to the electroacupuncture group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Electroacupuncture can enhance the expressions of ABCA1,ABCG1,and SR-B Ⅰ mRNA and protein in abdominal macrophages of AS rabbits,thereby promoting the process of cholesterol reverse transport.This may be one of the mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of AS.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of cSN50.1 on the proliferation， migration， invasion， and colony formation of HepG2 cells and its mechanism. MethodsHepG2 cells were divided into cSN50.1 0 μmol/L， cSN50.1 10 μmol/L， cSN50.1 30 μmol/L， cSN50.1 50 μmol/L， cSN50.1 70 μmol/L， and cSN50.1 90 μmol/L groups， and CCK－8 assay was used to investigate the effect of different concentrations of cSN50.1 on the proliferation of HepG2 cells and calculate half－maximal inhibitory concentration （IC₅₀）. HepG2 cells were divided into cSN50.1 0 μmol/L， cSN50.1 10 μmol/L， cSN50.1 30 μmol/L， and cSN50.1 50 μmol/L groups， and wound healing assay， Transwell assay， and colony－forming assay were used to investigate the effect of different concentrations of cSN50.1 on the migration， invasion， and colony formation of HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were divided into Control group， SP600125 group （an inhibitor of the AP－1 signaling pathway）， and cSN50.1 group to investigate the influence of the AP－1 signaling pathway on the effect of cSN50.1 on hepatocellular carcinoma cells， and RT－PCR and Western Blot were used to measure the expression of CXCL5， TNF－α， and c－Jun protein in cytoplasm and nucleus. HepG2 cells were divided into Control group， PDTC group （an inhibitor of the NF－κB signaling pathway）， and cSN50.1 group to investigate the influence of the NF－κB signaling pathway on the effect of cSN50.1 on hepatocellular carcinoma cells， and RT－PCR and Western Blot were used to measure the expression of CXCL5， TNF－α， and NF－κB protein in cytoplasm and nucleus. A one－way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the SNK－q test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the 0 μmol/L group， the 10 μmol/L group had no significant changes in proliferation， migration， invasion， and colony formation abilities （P >0.05）； the 30 μmol/L group had no significant change in proliferation ability （P>0.05）， but with significant reductions in migration， invasion， and colony formation abilities （P<0.05）； the 50 μmol/L group had significant reductions in proliferation， migration， invasion， and colony formation abilities （all P<0.01）； the 70 μmol/L and 90 μmol/L groups had a significant reduction in cell proliferation ability （P<0.01）， but with a cell survival rate of below 50%. Compared with the Control group， the SP600125， PDTC， and cSN50.1 groups had significant reductions in the mRNA and protein expression levels of CXCL5 and TNF－α （all P<0.05）. Compared with the Control group， the SP600125 group， the PDTC group， and the cSN50.1 group had a significant reduction in nuclear protein of c－Jun and NF－κB expression （P<0.05）； the SP600125 group and the PDTC group had a significant reduction in cytoplasmic protein of c－Jun and NF－κB expression （P<0.05）； the cSN50.1 group had a significant increase in cytoplasmic protein of c－Jun and NF－κB expression （P<0.05）. ConclusionThis study shows that cSN50.1 can inhibit the malignant behavior of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and reduce the expression of CXCL5 and TNF－α by inhibiting the nuclear import of c－Jun and NF－κB in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expression levels of serum glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and the severity and prognosis of coronary artery disease.Methods:A total of 192 ACS patients admitted to Shandong First Medical University Affiliated Qingdao Hospital from June 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the ACS group, while 192 non ACS patients admitted to the same hospital were selected as the non ACS group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was applied to determine the expression levels of serum GSK-3β and SMAD4 in two groups. The Gensini score was applied to evaluate the degree of coronary artery disease in patients, Spearman method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum GSK-3β, SMAD4 expression levels and Gensini score in ACS patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyze the predictive efficacy of serum GSK-3β and SMAD4 levels on the prognosis of ACS patients.Results:The serum levels of GSK-3β and SMAD4 in the ACS group were significantly higher than those in the non ACS group: (2.70 ± 0.40) μg/L vs. (2.24 ± 0.41) μg/L, (12.19 ± 2.10) μg/L vs. (9.79 ± 2.82) μg/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The serum levels of GSK-3β and SMAD4 in ACS patients with mild, moderate and severe coronary artery disease increased sequentially ( P<0.05). Spearman analysis showed that serum GSK-3β and SMAD4 levels in ACS patients were positively correlated with Gensini total score ( r = 0.569 and 0.587, P<0.01). In ACS patients, 48 cases had poor prognosis, and the incidence of poor prognosis was 25.00% (48/192); 144 cases had a good prognosis. The serum levels of GSK-3β and SMAD4 in ACS patients with poor prognosis were significantly higher than those in ACS patients with good prognosis: (3.15 ± 0.53) μg/L vs. (2.55 ± 0.36) μg/L, (14.03 ± 2.08) μg/L vs. (11.58 ± 2.11) μg/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The ROC curve result indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) for predicting poor prognosis in ACS patients with serum GSK-3β and SMAD4 levels alone and in combination was 0.799, 0.784 and 0.858, respectively, the AUC predicted by the combination of the two was obviously higher than the AUC predicted separately ( Z = 2.04 and 2.75, P = 0.041 and 0.006). Conclusions:The expression levels of GSK-3β and SMAD4 in the serum of ACS patients are abnormally elevated. They are positively correlated with the degree of coronary artery disease in ACS patients, and both have good predictive power for adverse prognosis in ACS patients, while the combined use of the two has better predictive performance.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
