Background and Objectives:
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) often occurs suddenly and leads to fatal consequences. Ferroptosis is closely related to the progression of AMI.However, the specific mechanism of ferroptosis in AMI remains unclear.
Methods:
We constructed a cell model of AMI using AC16 cells under oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) conditions and a mice model of AMI using the left anterior descending (LAD) ligation. The 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide was employed to determine cell viability. The levels of lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and iron were measured using corresponding kits. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay, RNAbinding protein immunoprecipitation, and RNA pull-down were performed to validate the correlations among AC005332.7, miR-331-3p, and cyclin D2 (CCND2). Hematoxylin and eosin staining was employed to evaluate myocardial damage.
Results:
AC005332.7 and CCND2 were lowly expressed, while miR-331-3p was highly expressed in vivo and in vitro models of AMI. AC005332.7 sufficiency reduced ROS, MDA, iron, and ACSL4 while boosting the GSH and GPX4, indicating that AC005332.7 sufficiency impeded ferroptosis to improve cardiomyocyte injury in AMI. Mechanistically, AC005332.7 interacted with miR-331-3p, and miR-331-3p targeted CCND2. Additionally, miR-331-3p overexpression or CCND2 depletion abolished the suppressive impact of AC005332.7 on ferroptosis in OGD-induced AC16 cells. Moreover, AC005332.7 overexpression suppressed ferroptosis in mice models of AMI.
Conclusions
AC005332.7 suppressed ferroptosis in OGD-induced AC16 cells and LAD ligation-operated mice through modulating miR-331-3p/CCND2 axis, thereby mitigating the cardiomyocyte injury in AMI, which proposed novel targets for AMI treatment.

Objective To analyze the effect of endoscopic middle turbinate angioplasty on postoperative nasal function and olfaction in patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyp.Methods Clinical materials of 80 patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps were analyzed retrospectively,and they were divided into control group and research group,40 cases in each group.Control group was treated with endoscopic partial middle turbinate resection,while research group was treated with endoscopic middle turbinate angioplasty.Clinical efficacy,nasal function,olfactory function,SNOT-20CV score,and Lund-Kennedy scoring and complications were compared between two groups.Results Total effective rate of the research group was significantly higher than the control group (P <0.05).Before operation,nasal airway resistance and minimal nasal cross-section to anterior nostril distance (DCAN),nasal minimum cross-sectional area (NMCA),nasal volume (NCV),SNOT-20 CV,nasal endoscopic Lund-Kennedy scores showed no significant differences between two groups (P > 0.05).After operation,nasal airway resistance and DCAN and SNOT-20 CV,nasal endoscopic Lund-Kennedy scores decreased significantly in both groups,and these indexes in research group were significantly lower than the control group (P < O.05).The NMCA and NCV increased significantly in both groups,and these indexes in research group were significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in incidence rate of postoperative complications between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic middle turbinate angioplasty is effective in treating chronic sinusitis patients with nasal polyp,which can effectively relieve nasal obstruction and promote nasal function and the sense of smell.
