[Abstract] Objective To investigate whether levosimendan (Lev) affects hypoxia / reoxygenation (H / R) - induced cardiomyocyte proliferation, apoptosis and fibrosis by regulating the molecular axis of long chain noncoding RNA (LncRNA) eosinophil granule ontogeny transcript (EGOT) / microRNA (miR) -641. Methods Rat cardiomyocytes H9C2 were cultured in vitro, and H / R-treated cells were used to establish cell damage models, which were randomly divided into control group, H / R group, H / R + Lev 1 μmol / L (H / R + Lev-L) group, H / R + Lev 5 μmol / L (H / R + Lev-M) group, and H / R + Lev 10 μmol / L (H / R + Lev-H) group, 9 samples per group. MTT method was used to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate. Real-time P CR was used to detect the expression levels of EGOT and miR-641 mRNA. P cDNA-EGOT and EGOT small interfering RNA (si-EGOT) were transfected into H9 C2 cells respectively, and the cell proliferation and apoptosis rates were detected by the above method. The dual luciferase report experiment verified the targeting relationship between EGOT and miR-641. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, collagen I (colI), collagen Ⅲ (col Ⅲ), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP 2), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP -2) . Results Compared with the control group, the cell survival rate of the H / R group reduced significantly (P < 0. 05), the apoptosis rate increased significantly (P < 0. 05), and the protein levels of Bax, c I, col Ⅲ, TIMP 2, and MMP -2 increased significantly (P < 0. 05), the level of Bcl-2 protein reduced significantly (P < 0. 05), the expression level of EGOT reduced significantly (P < 0. 05), the expression level of miR-641 increased significantly (P < 0. 05) . Compared with the H / R group, the cell survival rate of the H / R + Lev-L group, H / R + Lev-M group, and H / R + Lev-H group increased significantly (P < 0. 05), and the apoptosis rate decreased significant (P < 0. 05), the protein levels of Bax, colI, colⅢ, TIMP 2, MMP -2 reduced significantly (P < 0. 05), the level of Bcl-2 protein increased significantly (P < 0. 05), the expression level of EGOT increased significantly (P < 0. 05), the expression level of miR-641 reduced significantly (P < 0. 05), and each index of H / R + Lev-L group, H / R + Lev-M group, H / R + Lev-H group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0. 05) . The dual luciferase report experiment confirmed that EGOT ccould target and bind to miR-641. The effect of transfecting pcDNA-EGOT and Lev was similar. Transfection of si-EGOT could reduce the effect of Lev on H / R-induced proliferation, apoptosis and fibrosis of H9 C2 cells. Conclusion Levosimendan may promote H / R-induced H9 C2 cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis and fibrosis by up-regulating EGOT expression and down-regulating miR-641 expression.

Objective: To investigate the regulatory effect of miR-1297 on the malignant biological behaviors of breast cancer cells and its underlying mechanism. Methods: Twenty pairs of breast cancer tissues and para-cancer tissues resected at the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of Leshan People′ s Hospital from May 2016 to May 2018, as well as breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, SW626, HCC1937 and human breast epithelial MCF-10A cells were collected for this study. qPCR was performed to evaluate the expression of miR-1297 in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. The experimental cells were divided into control group, miR-1297 inhibitor group; TET3 over-expression group and simultaneous over-expression of TET3 and miR-1297 group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the cell proliferation of MCF-7 cells; Transwell assay was carried out to detect the migration and invasion of MCF-7 cells; and WB was used to measure the expressions of TET3 and EMT related proteins (E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin). Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the relationship between miR-1297 and TET3. Results: miR-1297 was up-regulated in both breast cancer tissues and cell lines (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Knockdown of miR-1297 dramatically repressed the proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT of MCF-7 cells (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Over-expression of TET3 significantly up-regulated the expression of TET3 in MCF-7 cells (P<0.05). Simultaneous over-expression of TET3 and miR-1297 could reverse the expression level of TET3 in MCF-7 cells and the inhibitory effect of TET3 on the proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT of MCF-7 cells. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay results showed that miR-1297 targetedly bound to the 3' UTR of TET3. Further experiment results demonstrated that miR-1297 targetedly down-regulated TET3 and promoted the malignant biological behaviors of MCF-7 cells. Conclusion: miR-1297 is up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cells; it promotes the malignant biological behaviors such as proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT through targetedly down-regulating the expression of TET3.

PURPOSE:
To investigate the clinical effects of arthroscopically artificial ligament reconstruction with tensional remnant-repair in patients who are obese, and/or with demand for highly intensive sports, and/or with poor-quality ligament remnants.
METHODS:
A retrospective case series study was performed on patients treated by arthroscopically anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) reconstruction with tensional remnant repair technique from January 2019 to August 2021. General data, including demographics, surgical time, and postoperative adverse events, were recorded. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score (AOFAS), foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM), visual analog scale (VAS), and anterior talar translation were measured preoperatively and at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 2 years postoperatively. Ultrasonography examination was performed preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively to evaluate the ATFL. Data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0. F test was used to analyze the pre- and postoperative VAS, FAAM, and AOFAS scores. The significance was set at p < 0.05.
RESULTS:
There were 20 males and 10 females among the patients with a mean age of (30.71 ± 5.81) years. The average surgical time was (40.21 ± 8.59) min. No adverse events were observed after surgery. At 2 years postoperatively, the anterior talar translation test showed grade 0 laxity in all patients. VAS score significantly decreased from preoperatively to 6 weeks, 3 months, and 2 years postoperatively (p < 0.001). Improvement of FAAM score and the AOFAS score from preoperatively to 6 weeks, 3 months, and 2 years postoperatively was statistically significant (p < 0.001). At 3 months postoperatively, most patients (23/30) could return to their pre-injured activities of daily living status. At 2 years postoperatively, all patients were able to return to their pre-injured activities of daily living status, and almost every patient (18/19) who expected highly intensive sports returned to sports with only 1 obese patient failing to achieve the goal. The ultrasonography examination at 2 years postoperatively showed that there was a linear band structure of soft tissue on the tension-rich fiber tape image from the fibular to the talar attachment sits of ATFL.
CONCLUSION
The novel arthroscopically artificial ligament reconstruction with tensional remnant-repair technique for ATFL achieved satisfactory clinical outcomes in the short and medium term after operation, and allowed early return to pre-injured activities, which could be a reliable option for patients with chronic lateral ankle instability.

Formins are widely distributed in eukaryotes such as fungi, plants and animals. They play crucial roles in regulating the polymerization of actin, coordinating the synergistic interactions between actin and microtubules, and determining cell growth and morphology. Unlike formins from fungi and animals, plant formins have been evolved into two plant-specific types. Generally, type Ⅱ formins are believed to regulate the polarized growth of cells, and type Ⅰ formins may regulate the cell expansion and division processes. Recent studies on the function of plant formins suggest it is inappropriate to classify the function of formins purely based on their structures. This review summarizes the domain organization of formins and their corresponding functions, as well as the underpinning mechanisms. Furthermore, the unsolved or unexplored issues along with future perspectives on plant formins are proposed and discussed.

OBJECTIVE:To investiga te main risk factors for adverse drug reactions (ADR)of skin by intravenous injection of iodine contrast agent. METHODS :From Jan. 2009 to Apr. 2020,the patients suffering from skin ADR after enhanced CT with iodine contrast agent were collected from our hospital. The basic information ,laboratory test results before using iodine contrast agent and ADR related information were collected through hospital information system (HIS). The use of iodine contrast agent ,main manifestations of skin ADR and drug combination were analyzed statistically. Taking the sex ,age,body mass index (BMI),the dosage of iodine contrast agent ,length of stay ,laboratory examination ,tumor history ,basic disease ,allergy history ,drinking history as independent variables ,the incidence of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was analyzed by single factor analysis ,and the variables with statistically significant were selected for multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis. RESULTS :There were 157 cases of skin ADR ,involving 79 males(50.3%)and 78 females(49.7%). The age ranged from 19 to 86 years old ,being(52.68± 18.73)years old in average. BMI was 14.6-40.7 kg/m2,being(22.5±3.7) kg/m2. 67 cases(42.68%)were treated with iprodione ,34 cases(21.66%)with iodixanol ,31 cases(19.74%)with iohexol and 25 cases(15.92%)with iopamidol ;the dose of iodine contrast agent were 50-100 mL,being(73.06±13.29)mL in average. There was no significant difference among different dosage of 4 kinds of iodine contrast agents (P≤0.05). Among 4 kinds of iodine contrast agents ,the incidence of skin ADR induced by iopromide was the highest(0.197%). The skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was mainly acute (89.2%),the severity was mild (75.2%),and urticaria(38.9%)was the most common. After symptomatic treatment ,135 cases were cured ,13 cases were improved and 9 cases were not improved. Among the patients with iodine contrast agent related skin ADR ,the incidence of ADR induced by combined use of anti infective drugs was the highest (33.1%);however,the combined use of anti-tumor drugs was the main cause of severe skin ADR. The length of stay {11~20 d[OR=1.21,95%CI(1.07,1.20),P=0.042]、21~30 d[OR=1.39,95%CI(1.12,1.52),P=0.035]、31~40 d[OR=1.15,95%CI(1.03,1.37),P=0.008]、>40 d[OR=1.33,95%CI(1.28,1.53),P=0.003]},respitatory and circulatory system tumor history[OR =1.51,95%CI(1.35,1.61),P=0.037],injection allergy history[OR =1.50,95%CI(1.37,1.59),P=0.005] can significantly increase the incidence of iodine contrast agent related skin ADR. CONCLUSIONS :The main manifestation of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent was urticaria. The main risk factors of skin ADR related to iodine contrast agent were length of stay (> 10 d),respiratory and circulatory system tumor history and injection allergy history.
