Objective To explore the biological basis of different diseases with the same syndrome for pulmonary related comorbidities(pulmonary hypertension,obstructive sleep apnea syndrome,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,lung cancer)in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)through genomic bioinformatics analysis.Methods GSE110147,GSE113439,GSE135917,GSE106986 and GSE118370 datasets were downloaded as research subjects.The differential genes between each disease group and the control group were screened.Cytoscape 3.10.0 software was used for topology analysis to screen core genes.OmicShare was used to perform GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses on core genes.Results A total of 23 core genes related to IPF was obtained.GO enrichment analysis showed that core genes were mainly enriched in biological processes such as cellular process,metabolic process,biological regulation/biological process,developmental process,localization,response to stimulus,immune system process and signaling;in cellular components such as cellular anatomical entity and protein-containing complex;in molecular functions such as binding,catalytic activity,structural molecule activity,molecular adaptor activity,molecular function regulator and transcription regulator activity.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that core genes were mainly enriched in ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes,AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications,Th17 cell differentiation,JAK-STAT signaling pathway,RNA polymerase,neutrophil extracellular trap formation.Conclusion Using genomic bioinformatics analysis to explore the core genes and signaling pathways of pulmonary related comorbidities in IPF can reveal the mechanism of different diseases with the same syndrome for pulmonary related comorbidities in IPF to a certain extent.

Small ubiquitin-related modifier(SUMOylation)is a dynamic post-translational modification that maintains cardiac function and can protect against a hypertrophic response to cardiac pressure overload.However,the function of SUMOylation after myocardial infarction(MI)and the molecular details of heart cell responses to SUMO1 deficiency have not been determined.In this study,we demonstrated that SUMO1 protein was inconsistently abundant in different cell types and heart regions after MI.However,SUMO1 knockout significantly exacerbated systolic dysfunction and infarct size after myocardial injury.Single-nucleus RNA sequencing revealed the differential role of SUMO1 in regulating heart cells.Among cardiomyocytes,SUMO1 deletion increased the Nppa+Nppb+Ankrd1+cardiomyocyte subcluster pro-portion after MI.In addition,the conversion of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts subclusters was inhibited in SUMO1 knockout mice.Importantly,SUMO1 loss promoted proliferation of endothelial cell subsets with the ability to reconstitute neovascularization and expressed angiogenesis-related genes.Computational analysis of ligand/receptor interactions suggested putative pathways that mediate cardiomyocytes to endothelial cell communication in the myocardium.Mice preinjected with cardiomyocyte-specific AAV-SUMO1,but not the endothelial cell-specific form,and exhibited ameliorated cardiac remodeling following MI.Collectively,our results identified the role of SUMO1 in cardiomyocytes,fibroblasts,and endothelial cells after Ml.These findings provide new insights into SUMO1 involvement in the patho-genesis of MI and reveal novel therapeutic targets.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of "mutual support" framework in costal cartilage rhinoplasty.Methods:From June 2020 to December 2021, the patients were enrolled and undergone rhinoplasty with bilateral lower lateral cartilage margin incision combined with nasal columnar incision in the Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital. During the operation, the sixth costal cartilage was made into the nasal columella support graft(strut) and the nasal tip graft integrated scaffold, and the septal extension grafts (SEG). The strut and SEG were sutured in the same plane to construct the framework to correct the aesthetic defects of the nose. Abode Photoshop CS 6.0 was used to measure a series of aesthetics index before and 6 months after surgery, including nasofrontal angle, nasorostral angle, nasolabial angle, columella lobular angle, ratio of tip projection to the length of the nose and ratio of the length of the infratip lobule to the length of the nasal columella to evaluate the surgical effect. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and rhinoplasty outcome evaluation (ROE) were used to investigate the patients’ satisfaction. Paired t-test was used for data analysis and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 53 patients were enrolled, including 4 males and 49 females, aged from 18 to 45 years (average age: 25.6 years). Forty-nine cases were primary rhinoplasty and 4 cases were secondary rhinoplasty. No short-term complications including hemorrhage and infection occurred in 53 patients. All patients were followed up for 6-12 months. There were statistically significant differences in nasofrontal angle, nasorostral angle, nasolabial angle, columella lobular angle, ratio of tip projection to the length of the nose and ratio of the length of the infratip lobule to the length of the nasal columella( P<0.01), which sugguested that aesthetic defects of the nose were corrected and no obvious deflection and rotation of nasal tip occured. VAS score and ROE score postoperatively were 7.6±0.4 and 21.3±2.1, respectively, which were significantly higher than preoperatively( 6.1±0.5, 10.5±1.6)( P< 0.01). Postoperative satisfaction survey showed that swelling disappeared within 4-6 weeks after surgery, and no obvious ventilatory disorder, paresthesia and hyposmia symptoms occurred. Most patients were satisfied with the aesthetic and functional results. Conclusions:The "mutual support" framework in costal cartilage rhinoplasty can reduce the risk of framework deflection and nasal tip rotation and obtain satisfactory nasal columella shape.

As the aging proceeds worldwide, aging lung transplantation recipients have been increased dramatically. Aging population with end-stage lung diseases also have comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, which may impact the prognosis of lung transplantation. Recent researches on lung transplantation have explored the characteristics of aging recipients, strategy selection on transplantation and cardiovascular disease management, as well as risk factors for post-transplantation complications and death. However, researches on lung transplantation recipients with cardiac valve disease are just in the initial stage. With the advancement of transcatheter technique, more patients will be benefited. We summarized the advancement in this field and took an outlook for future clinical researches.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and treatment efficiencies of pediatric giant posterior fossa tumors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. The clinical data of 18 children with giant posterior fossa tumors, whose maximum diameter of any section was over 5 cm, admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to June 2020, were collected. The surgical treatment results were analyzed.Results:The tumor volume of 18 children was (63.9±20.7) mL (33.2-116.2 mL). Sixteen children had different degrees of preoperative obstructive hydrocephalus; ommaya capsule implantation was performed in 2, ventriculoperitoneal shunt was performed in one, and external ventricular drainage was performed in one before surgery; intraoperative external ventricle drainage was performed in 5; and the left 7 had postoperative self-healing. Tumor resection was performed in 17 children, including 10 with total resection and 7 with subtotal resection. The postoperative pathological results indicated medulloblastoma in 10 patients, ependymoma in 3 patients, pilocytic astrocytoma in 2 patients, oligodendroglioma in 1 patient, and yolk sac tumor in 1 patient;12 patients were treated with chemotherapy and 9 with radiotherapy. Postoperative persistent hydrocephalus was noted in 2 patients, cerebellar mutism in 2 patients, and subarachnoid hemorrhage combined with ventricular hematocele in 1 patient. The follow-up period ranged from 3 to 67 months: 13 children survived for more than one year (10 lived without tumor recurrence); 8 of the 10 patients with total tumor resection had progression-free survival for more than 1 year (the other 2 patients were lost of follow-up), while 3 of the 7 patients with subtotal resection had progression-free survival for more than 1 year.Conclusion:Pediatric giant posterior fossa tumors have high complication rate, high recurrence rate and poor prognosis; symptomatic treatment, total resection of the tumors, and adjuvant radiotherapy/ chemotherapy are effective treatment methods.

PURPOSE: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are thought to serve as potential biomarkers in various cancers, including breast cancer. METHODS: We evaluated the miRNA expression profiles in 1,083 breast cancer samples and 104 normal breast tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We used the edgeR package of R software to analyze the differentially expressed miRNAs in normal and cancer tissues, and screened survival-related miRNAs by Kaplan-Meier analysis. A receiver operating characteristic curve was generated to evaluate the accuracy of these miRNAs as molecular markers for breast cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, the functional role of these miRNAs was verified using cell experiments. Targets of candidate miRNAs were predicted using 9 online databases, and Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and pathway analyses were conducted using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery online tool. RESULTS: A total of 68 miRNAs showed significantly different expression patterns between the groups (p < 0.001), and 13 of these miRNAs were significantly associated with poor survival (p < 0.05). Three miRNAs with high specificity and sensitivity, namely, miR-148b-3p, miR-190b, and miR-429, were selected. In vitro experiments showed that the overexpression of these 3 miRNAs significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of MDA-MB-468 and T47D cells and reduced the apoptosis of T47D cells. GO and pathway enrichment analyses revealed that the targets of these dysregulated miRNAs were involved in many critical cancer-related biological processes and pathways. CONCLUSION: The miR-148b-3p, miR-190b, and miR-429 may serve as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers for breast cancer. This study demonstrated the roles of these 3 miRNAs in the initiation and progression of breast cancer.
