Objective To observe the effect and safety of emergent intracoronary stenting in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by acute pump failure.Methods Fifteen patients with anterier wall AMI and apparent signs of cardiac shock were (70.1?8.4) years old on average. Their mean blood pressures were less than 85/60 mm?Hg and the ejection fractions (EF) were less than 42% on echocardiography. All the cases were performed in plantation of stenting in left anterior discending branch (LAD), among which, 4 were in right anterior artery (RCA) and 3 in left circumflex (LCX). Before and after stenting, the changes of the patients′ blood pressures, heart rates and cardiac functions tested by ultrasonography were observed. Results In 15 patients, whose LADs were completely occlusive, after stenting, the coronary arteries gained perfect reperfusion. Compared before and after stenting, the blood pressures were increased significantly after stenting [SBP (106?11.8) vs (76.2?4.9)mm?Hg, P

ObjectiveTo study the expression of matrix metallopro-teinase-2 (MMP-2),matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in the pancreatic carcinomas. Methods MMP-2,MMP-9 expression were detected by immunohistochemistry in surgically resected specimens ( cancer tissues,cancer-adjacent tissues and normal tissues) from 30 PC patients,11 pancreatitis patients and 6 normal patients.the results were analyzed combined with clinical pathologic characteristics.The data was analyzed by Chi-Square test.ResultsThere was no expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 in normal pancreatic tissues.Both of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions were 18.2％ in chronic pancreatitis titssues.Expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 were higher in cancer tissues than in cancer-adjacent tissues(63.3％ vs 23.3％,56.7％ vs 40.0％,P ＜0.05).There were positive correlation between MMP-2,MMP-9 expression and lymph nodal metastasis,tumor sizes,clinical stage and differentiation of tumor(P ＜0.05).Conclusions The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was high,and linked to its unfavorable prognosis.

Objective To explore the relation between the behavior psychology analysis of partial me-chanical injuries and the nature of death in high-falling cases, and provide reference, for such cases. Methods Of 311 death victims of high-falling injuries collected from 2008 to 2013, 205 cases were as-sociated with partial mechanical injuries. The characteristics of injury formation, preliminary crime scene traces, fatal injury of high-falling, and text messages were all retrospectively analyzed. Results Accord-ing to the investigation of preliminary crime scene traces, fatal injury of high-falling and text message, there were 86 suicide, 24 accident and 95 uncertainty in the 205 cases. According to the behavior psy-chology analysis of partial mechanical injuries, there were 80 suicide, 11 accident, and 4 homicide in the 95 uncertainty cases. Conclusion The partial mechanical injuries uncertainly caused by high-falling correlate with the manner of high-falling death. According to the behavior psychology analysis of the partial mechanical injuries in high-falling death cases, the presumption of high-falling death is usually accurate.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the antineoplastic effects of 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) combined with Taxol on orthotopically transplanted breast cancer in C3H mice and explore the mechanism.

METHODSC3H mice bearing orthotopically transplanted breast cancer xenograft were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely the control group, 2-DG group, Taxol group, and 2-DG+Taxol group. The corresponding drugs were administered intraperitoneally every 3 days for 18 consecutive days, and the tumor volume was measured every 3 days to draw the tumor growth curve. The mice were then sacrificed to measure the tumor weight on day 19 and examine tumor cell apoptosis with TUNEL assay and VEGF expression using immunohistochemistry.

RESULTS2-DG combined with Taxol obviously suppressed the tumor growth with a tumor inhibition rate of 66.06% as compared to the rate of 36.97% in Taxol group. The combined treatment also caused more obvious cell apoptosis and significantly reduced VEGF expression in the tumor cells as compared with the other groups.

CONCLUSION2-DG can enhance the inhibitory effect of Taxol on orthotopically transplanted breast cancer xenograft in C3H mice probably by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and lowering VEGF expressions.

AIM:This study aimed to explore the induction of ferroptosis in non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC)cells by tubeimoside II(TBMS II)and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.METHODS:H460 NSCLC cells were cultured in vitro.Cell survival rates were assessed by using MTT assays,and doses of TBMS II resulting in below 50%survival were selected for further experimentation.Cell migration was evaluated using Transwell assays and the effects of TBMS II on H460 cell proliferation were assessed by colony formation assays.Flow cytometry and fluores-cence microscopy were used to assess changes in lipid peroxidation(lipid ROS),and the levels of GSH,T-AOC,MDA,and Fe2+were measured using commercial kits.Protein levels of GPX4,SLC7A11,FTH1,NCOA4,P62,and LC3 were examined using Western blot.Changes in mitochondrial structure were detected by transmission electron microscopy,and immunofluorescence was used to assess LC3 co-localization of FTH1 and NCOA4,as well as co-localization of LC3 and NCOA4 with lysosomes.RESULTS:Compared with the control group,TBMS II dose-dependently reduced H460 cell via-bility,migration,and clone formation,accompanied by the appearance of vacuoles within the cells.TBMS II treatment al-so led to decreased GSH and T-AOC levels,while increasing the cellular contents of MDA,indicating oxidative stress.Ad-ditionally,there was a decrease in the expression of the antioxidant proteins SLC7A11 and GPX4 in the cells,while lipid ROS and Fe2+levels were increased in proportion to the TBMS II concentration.The ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 re-versed cell death caused by TBMS II,suggesting ferroptosis induction.Furthermore,increasing the TBMS II concentra-tion resulted in an upregulation of the autophagy marker proteins LC3 II/LC3 I and P62,indicative of increased autopha-gy.TBMS II also affected mitochondrial morphology in the cells,as seen in reduced mitochondrial fluorescence intensity.Protein expression of NCOA4 increased with higher TBMS II concentrations,while that of FTH1 decreased.Co-localiza-tion of LC3 II with FTH1 and NCOA4,as well as the lysosomal association of LC3 II and FTH1,also increased in a dose-dependent manner.CONCLUSION:TBMS II induces ferritinophagy in H460 cells,leading to decreased cell viability and increased ferroptosis.

Objective:To clarify the relationship between interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 gene polymorphisms and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD).Methods:Literature search was conducted through databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Embase, Wanfang Database and VIP.com, and domestic and foreign literatures related to IL-6, IL-10 gene polymorphisms and AITD were included in the study. The time limit was from the self-built of the databases to July 2021. Meta-analysis was performed with STATA 16.0 software, the odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval ( CI) were used as effect indicators, random-effect or fixed-effect model was selected according to the heterogeneity results, and the source of heterogeneity was explored through subgroup analysis. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger's test. Results:Finally, 19 literatures were included, all in English. There were 12 studies on IL-6 genes and 11 studies on IL-10 genes, including 4 studies on both IL-6 and IL-10 genes. In the whole population, the loci associated with AITD were IL-6 -174 G/C site (GG vs CC + GC: OR =1.94, 95% CI = 1.01 - 3.76), IL-6 -572 G/C site (GG + GC vs CC: OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.29 - 0.84; GG vs CC + GC: OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.60 - 0.96; GG + CC vs GC: OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.49 - 0.81), IL-10 -819 T/C site (TT + TC vs CC: OR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.01 - 3.34; T vs C: OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.00 - 2.51), and IL-10 -1 082 A/G site (AA + AG vs GG: OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.64 - 0.92; AA vs GG + AG: OR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.16 - 3.58; A vs G: OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.61 - 0.94). The results of subgroup analysis showed that in Asian population, the loci associated with AITD were IL-6 -174 G/C site (GG vs CC + GC: OR = 4.61, 95% CI = 1.11 - 19.23; G vs C: OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.44 - 0.97); IL-6 -572 G/C site (GG vs CC + GC: OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.41 - 0.99; GG + CC vs GC: OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.38 - 0.94); IL-10 -819 T/C site (TT + TC vs CC: OR = 2.51, 95% CI = 1.48 - 4.25; T vs C: OR = 1.91, 95% CI = 1.05 - 3.46); and IL-10 -1 082 A/G site (AA + AG vs GG: OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.52 - 0.84; AA vs GG + AG: OR = 2.83, 95% CI = 1.54 - 5.21; A vs G: OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.53 - 0.82). Conclusion:IL-6 -174 G/C, IL-6 -572 G/C, IL-10 -819 T/C and IL-10 -1 082 A/G polymorphisms are associated with the susceptibility to AITD, especially in Asians.

Objective This study aimed to identify differentially methylated genes (DMGs) associated with natural killer cells in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT),focusing on the influence of varying water iodine exposure levels. Methods Participants were divided into categories based on median water iodine (MWI) concentrations:iodine-fortified areas (IFA,MWI<10 μg/L),iodine-adequate areas (IAA,40 ≤ MWI ≤ 100μg/L),and iodine-excessive areas (IEA,MWI>300 μg/L). A total of 176 matched AIT cases and controls were recruited and divided into 89,40,and 47 pairs for IFA,IAA,and IEA,respectively. DMGs were identified using 850K BeadChip analysis for 10/10 paired samples. Validation of DNA methylation and mRNA expression levels of the DMGs was conducted using MethylTarget? and QRT-PCR for 176/176 paired samples. Results KLRC1,KLRC3,and SH2D1B were identified as significant DMGs. Validation revealed that KLRC1 was hypomethylated and highly expressed,whereas KLRC3 was hypermethylated and highly expressed in individuals with AIT. Furthermore,KLRC1 was hypomethylated and highly expressed in both IFA and IEA. Conclusion The DNA methylation status of KLRC1 and KLRC3 may play crucial roles in AIT pathogenesis. Additionally,DNA methylation of KLRC1 seems to be influenced by different iodine concentrations in water.
