Objective To study the value of heart rate turbulence(HRT) of acute pediatric viral myocarditis (VMC) ,and the relationship between HRT and other indexes. Methods We randomly assigned 75 acute pediatric VMC and 77 health enfant those all received holter. We calculated the heart rate turbulence(To) and turbulence slope (Ts) respectively,and compared the difference between them. Simultaneously, record the number of ventricular pre-mature complex(VPC) ,whether with ventricular tachycardia(VT) and the SDNN index of HRV. Then we analyzed the association between them and To,Ts. Results The difference of To between pediatric VMC and control group is significant in statistics, as follows [ (1.47±2.03 ) %, (-0.78±2.55) %, P<0.01; (3.05±2.12) ms/RR, (8.82±3.42) ms/RR,P<0.01]. There are no correlation between To and the number of VPC. And the number of VPC is interrelated to Ts. To and Ts are not correlative with whether with VT and heart rate variability(HRV). Conclusions The HRT of pediatric VMC is significanty reduced,so HRT can be a new index that to evaluate the heart parasym-pathetic function state in pediatric VMC and it is independent from traditional HRV. Therefore we can evaluate the heart parasympathetic function state of the sufferers after analyzed their HRT. This technique can help to discover pathological changes of heart parasympathetic system in forepart and guide clinical therapy in time,and avoid heart ill event.

BACKGROUND:
Exosomes derived from breast cancer have been reported to play a role in promoting cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, which has the potential to accelerate the healing process of diabetic wounds. The aim of this investigation was to examine the function of exosomes originating from 4T1 mouse breast carcinoma cells (TEXs) in the process of diabetic wound healing.
METHODS:
The assessment of primary mouse skin fibroblasts cell proliferation and migration was conducted through the utilization of CCK-8 and wound healing assays, while the tube formation of HUVECs was evaluated by tube formation assay. High-throughput sequencing, RT-qPCR and cell experiments were used to detect the roles of miR-126a-3p in HUVECs functions in vitro. The in vivo study employed a model of full-thickness excisional wounds in diabetic subjects to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of TEXs. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent techniques were utilized to evaluate histological changes in skin tissues.
RESULTS:
The findings suggested that TEXs facilitate diabetic wound healing through the activation of cell migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. An upregulation of miR-126a-3p has been observed in TEXs, and it has demonstrated efficient transferability from 4T1 cells to HUVEC cells. The activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway has been attributed to miR-126a-3p derived from TEXs.
CONCLUSIONS
The promotion of chronic wound healing can be facilitated by TEXs through the activation of cellular migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. The activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway by miR-126a-3p originating from TEXs has been discovered, indicating a potential avenue for enhancing the regenerative capabilities of wounds treated with TEXs.
