The microstructure of cationic cyclopeptide (TD-34) treated Caco-2 cell membrane was observed, and we discussed the relationship between membrane structure and insulin transmembrane permeability. Atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to observe living cell membrane in air condition and tapping mode. Results showed that the surface of Caco-2 cell membrane treated with TD-34 lost its smoothness and nearly doubled its roughness. Apparent permeability coefficients (P(app)) of insulin in Caco-2 cell monolayers increased 2.5 times. In conclusion, AFM can be used to observe microstructure of cationic cyclopeptide treated cell membrane and cationic cyclopeptide enhanced insulin delivery across Caco-2 cell membrane by increasing membrane fluidity.

Objective:Construct a combined detection model of miR-202-5p and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and explore its diagnostic value for acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods:Clinical data of 202 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) who were admitted to the Department of Cardiology and Emergency Department of Hebei People's Hospital from August 2020 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 106 AMI patients and 96 non AMI patients. The clinical characteristics and blood levels of miR-202-5p and IL-6 were compared between the two groups, T-test was used for inter group comparison of measurement data that conforms to normal distribution, non parametric rank sum test was used for inter group comparison of measurement data that does not conform to normal distribution, and χ2 test was used for inter group comparison of count data. Binary Logistic regression model was used to determine the independent influencing factors of AMI, and a combined diagnostic model was constructed according to the analysis results, the diagnostic efficacy of miR-202-5p, IL-6 and combined detection for AMI was evaluated by ROC curve, and the clinical diagnostic effect was observed. Results:The expression levels of serum total cholesterol (4.40 (3.71, 5.00) mmol/L), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (2.99 (2.39,3.47) mmol/L), lipoprotein a (276.80 (182.58,390.13) mg/L), interleukin-4(IL-4)(2.69(2.29,3.16) μg/L), IL-6(89.82(68.26,107.16) μg/L) in AMI group were significantly higher than those of non-AMI group (4.04 (3.12, 4.73) mmol/L, 2.75 (2.15, 3.21) mmol/L, 213.45 (146.73, 348.80) mg/L, 2.46 (1.92, 3.01)] μg/L, 45.89 (32.38, 62.83) μg/L, while miR-202-5p(0.33 (0.27,0.38)) was lower than that in the non-AMI group (0.51 (0.36,0.68)), ( H values were 4 167.50, 4 234.00, 4 262.50, 4 228.00, 1 513.00, and 2 098.50, respectively; P values were 0.027, 0.040, 0.047, 0.038, <0.001, <0.001, respectively). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that high levels of IL-6 and low levels of miR-202-5p were independent risk factors for AMI. The joint diagnostic model of IL-6 and miR-202-5p was Logit (P)=-1.046-5.236 × miR-202-5p+0.051 × IL-6, with probability value P as the diagnostic indicator and P=0.45 as the diagnostic threshold. ROC curve results showed that the area under curve (AUC) of IL-6 and miR-202-5p were 0.851 and 0.794, respectively, while the AUC of the combined diagnosis model was 0.894, indicating that the diagnosis accuracy was higher than that of a single index. Compared with isolated detection, the sensitivity, specificity and Kappa value of the IL-6+miR-202-5p collaborative test for AMI prediction were increased, especially the diagnosis results were close to a high degree of agreement with the actual results ( Kappa=0.732). Conclusion:High levels of IL-6 and low levels of miR-202-5p are independent influencing factors for AMI, and the combined diagnosis model of the two has clinical application value.
