Objective To observe the changes of cardiac rhythms in a swine model of adult asphyxia! cardiac arrest. Method Sixteen Pigs were aphyxiated by endotracheal tube clamping until 8 min after loss of aortic pulsations. Resuscitation was then provided and swinds were assigned to received 0.045 mg/kg epinephrine intravenously after 3 min of basic life support. The animals with restoration of spontaneous circulation within 20 min from CPR were defined as successfully resuscitated, while the rest were identified as unresuscitation. Electrocardiogram ( EGG) were monitored from the start of asphyxia to the start of the CPR. Results When loss of pulsations occurred, 2 of 16 animals had ventricular fibrillation; 10 pigs exhibited pulseless electrical activity, and 4 pigs had asystole. During the 8 min after the loss of aortic pulsations, pulseless electrical activity converted to VF in 7 pigs. Immidiatedly prior to resuscitation, VF occurred in 9 pigs, asystole in 4 pigs, and PEA in 3 pigs. Conclusions Most of animals in this swine model of asphyxial cardiac arrest presented PEA, but most of them converted to VF especially late in the asphyxial process.

The characteristics of cell invasion and migration were examined by transwellinvasion and migration assay afterbreast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 were transfectedwith miR-21 inhibitor or negative control by lipofectamin.The t test was used to analysis the normal distribution data. Results FQ-PCR results showed that the relative expression of miR-21 in the normal breast epithelial cell line HBL-100 was 1.01 ±0.04, in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 were 1.99 ±0.11,4.02 ±0.38 and 3.73 ±0.79 respectively.Compared with the normal controls, miR-21 were highly expressed in the three breast cancer cell lines, the difference was statistically significant (t=9.01, 9.20 and 4.55, respectively, P<0.01); and the miR-21 was highly expressed in invasive and metastatic breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468),compared with weakly invasive breast cancer cell line MCF-7, the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 6.14 and 2.91, P<0. 05), suggesting that miR-21 is highly expressed in breast cancer cells, and is closely related to the invasion and metastasis.The relative expression of miR-21 in serum of breast cancer was 2.63 (1.57-4.59), in benign breast disease group was 1.34 (1.01-1.78), in healthy control group was 0.81 (0.52-1.59), the miR-21 expression in the serum of breast cancer patients was significantly higher than in patients with benign lesions and normal control group (U values were 208 and 279, P<0.01), whereas no significant difference in serum in patients with benign lesions and normal control group, the miR-21 expression in the serum of breast cancer patients with lymph node metastasis (U=95 , P=0.19) was 3.55 (2.44-5.26), significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis [2.11(1.59-3.25), U=216,P=0.021]. The results of invasion and migration assay showed that cells treated with miR-21 inhibitor invasion was:44 ±18, the number of cell migration was:98 ±22, while the negative control treated cells after invasion was:133 ±44, migration cell number:255 ±35;miR-21 inhibitor treatment compared with the negative control, cell invasion and migration was also significantly decreased( t values were 5.46 and 9.08, P<0. 01) .The cell invasion and migration assay indicated the numbers of MDA-MB-231 cells, which invaded or migrated to lower chamber, were 44 ±18 and 98 ±22 respectively after miR-21 inhibitor was applied, The numbers of invaded or migrated cells were 133 ±44 and 255 ±35 when the negative control was applied.The ability of cell invasion and migration was decreased significantly in the inhibitor group compared with the negative group(tvalue separately was 5.46, 9.08, P<0.01).The capacity of breast cancer cell invasion and migrationwas significantly decreased after transfection ofmiR-21 inhibitor.Conclusions MiR-21 is highly expressed in breast cancer cell lines and breast cancer patients′serum.Altered expression of miR-21 maybeplays an important role in breast cancer invasion and migration.MiR-21 may serve as new biomarker to early detectionand prognosis estimation of breast cancer.
6.Research on protection strategies of personal health information in the context of smart healthcare
Chinese Medical Ethics 2024;37(7):770-777
“Smart healthcare” is a new service model of “Internet plus healthcare”, which can greatly improve the level of medical intelligence and the sense of patients’ medical experience by creating a modern regional medical information platform. The construction of a smart healthcare system requires the collection of a large amount of personal health data, which inevitably leads to issues related to the protection of personal information, specifically including inadequate legal protection systems, the contradiction between development and protection, the failure of informed consent rules, and difficulties in technical protection. Therefore, it is necessary to find effective methods to build a balanced mechanism, such as improving the legal system, adjusting the application of informed consent, strengthening ethical and moral support, multi-party joint supervision, and other strategies, so that personal health information can promote medical progress and improve people’s well-being.

Objective To explore the expression of tiny RNA-25 (microRNA-25, miR-25) in the plasma、tissues of triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC) patients and cell lines, to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms of miR-25 on migration and invasion of TNBC. Methods Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-25 in the plasma of TNBC patients. Linked omics web platform was used to analyse miR-25 level in samples of TNBC and non-TNBC. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was also used to detect the miR-25 level in TNBC cell lines. The wound healing and transwell assay was applied to assess the effects on migration and invasion of TNBC cell lines which transfected with miR-25 inhibitor or the negative control. The luciferase reporter assay was used to validate the relationship between miR-25 and the sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase 1 (SGPP1) in HEK293T cell. The wound healing and transwell assay was used to detect the migration and invasion ability of TNBC cell lines when cotransfected with pCMV6-SGPP1 and miR-25. Furthermore, Western blot was performed to detect the SGPP1 level in TNBC cell lines. Results The expression of miR-25 was significantly elevated in the plasma of 86 TNBC patients compared with the healthy controls (P value was 0.031). LinkedOmics web platform analysis showed that miR-25 expression was significantly higher in TNBC samples than in non-TNBC samples with Luminal A or Luminal B (P value was<0.001 and 0.006). The level of miR-25 was also elevated in TNBC cell lines HS578T, HCC1806, MDA-MB-231 and BT549(P value was 0.006, 0.01, 0.029 and 0.046). The MDA-MB-231 and HS578T cells which transfected with miR-25 inhibitor exhibited a significant slower wound healing rate than control (P value was 0.035 and 0.001). At the same time, when transfected with miR-25 inhibitor, MDA-MB-231 and HS578T both exhibited a decreased invasion ability compared with the control group(P value was 0.002 and 0.001). LinkedOmics web platform analysis showed that sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase 1 (SGPP1) gene level was negatively correlated with miR-25 in the tissues of TNBC patients (P value was 0.037). The luciferase reporter assay validated that SGPP1 was a directed target of miR-25. The western blot assay indicated that the SGPP1 level was increased in MDA-MB-231 and HS578T after transfection with miR-25 inhibitor. Over-expression of SGPP1 could abrogate the positive effects of miR-25 on migration and invasion when pCMV6-SGPP1 was cotransfected with miR-25 (P value was all 0.002). Conclusions MiR-25 was elevated in both plasma and tissues of TNBC patients and also increased in TNBC cell lines. Transfection of MDA-MB-231 and HS578T cells with miR-25 inhibitor resulted in reduced migration and invasion. Moreover, SGPP1 was identified as a novel target of miR-25. The ability of miR-25 to promote TNBC cell migration and invasion is attributable to its effect on SGPP1 suppression.
