Objective To explore the mechanism of plasma circulating miRNA-126 and miRNA-28-3p in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients,and to identify the related bioinformatics analysis.Methods Randomly selected 80 DM patients as the observation group and 80 non-DM patients as the control group.The plasma circulating miRNA-126 and miRNA-28-3p were analyzed by qRT-PCR,and its target genes,biological information,related lncRNA and circRNA were predicted.Results The circulating miRNA-126(0.115 0±0.014 4 vs.0.0019±0.000 6) and miRNA-28-3p(0.1386±0.01724 vs.0.000 6±0.000 05) levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01).Pearson correlation coefficient of miRNA-126 and miRNA-28-3p was 0.433 5(P<0.01).ROC curve analysis of miRNA-126 and miRNA-28-3p showed that the differences of the area under curve were statistically significant between the two groups (P<0.01).Bioinformatics prediction showed that miRNA-126 and miRNA-28-3p may be involved in regulation of the insulin signaling pathway,insulin receptor signaling pathway,insulin/insulin growth factor signaling pathway,mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway and angiogenesis.And it may be associated with a variety of lncRNA and circRNA.Conclusion Circulating miRNA-126 and miRNA-28-3p can be a novel biomarker of DM as it may participate in the mechanism of DM by regulating insulin and insulin growth factor related signaling pathways and be associated with some related lncRNA and circRNA.

BackgroundAs a high prevalence disorder, schizophrenia has caused significant burden to family and society due to the impairment of occupational and social function. Currently, the dominant vocational training model in China follows a paternalistic, clinician-led decision-making approach. Although it improves patients' social function to some extent, it undermines their autonomy and treatment adherence. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to explore a new intervention method to enhance treatment compliance and social function in patients. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of shared decision-making oriented vocational training on social function in hospitalized schizophrenia patients, so as to provide references for rehabilitation interventions. MethodsA total of 68 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia according to the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) criteria were consecutively enrolled from January to June 2024 at The Third People's Hospital of Wenjiang Distric, Chengdu. Participants were randomly allocated into the research group (n=34) and the control group (n=34) using a random number table method. Both groups received routine rehabilitation training, while the research group received shared decision-making oriented vocational training for 12 weeks, 2 times a week for 2 hours each time. Before and at the 4th and 12th week of intervention, two groups were evaluated by General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Stigma Scale for Mental Illness (SSMI), Scale of Social function of Psychosis Inpatients (SSFPI) and Inpatient Psychiatric Rehabilitation Outcome Scale (IPROS). ResultsA total of 63 participants completed the study, with 30 cases in the research group and 33 cases in the control group. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed statistically significant time effects and interaction effects in both groups for GSES, SSMI, SSFPI and IPROS scores (F=20.451, 16.022; 26.193, 12.944; 23.957, 5.023; 11.776, 3.985, P<0.05 or 0.01), while no significant group effects were observed (F=0.188, 0.742, 1.878, 0.474, P>0.05). At the 12th week of intervention, there were statistically significant differences in GSES, SSMI, SSFPI and IPROS scores between the two groups. ConclusionShared decision-making oriented vocational training may help to improve social function in patients with schizophrenia. [Funded by 2023 Chengdu Medical Research Project (number, 2023468)]

Digestive system malignant tumor is one of the common malignant tumors in humans,and its high morbidity and low survival rate at advanced stages bring heavy disease burden to patients,families and society.However,current tumor screening technologies are not suitable for screening in large-scale populations and long-term follow-up because of the invasiveness or complexity.Thus,liquid biopsy,which based on biomarkers such as circulating tumor DNA,circulating tumor cells,exosomes and other new biomarkers,has broad prospects for development in tumor screening.Exosome,secreted by living cells,is a type of extracellular vesicle with the lipid bilayer.Compared to other biomarkers,exosome has the advantages of high stability,wide distribution,and high quantity.The various proteins carried by exosome can reflect the characteristics of the origin cells,and exosome has important research value for the early diagnosis of tumors.This article reviews the studies of exosomal proteins as biomarkers for early diagnosis of digestive system malignant tumors in the past five years,and summarizes the characteristics and limitations of the above studies,so as to provide reference for promoting the clinical transformation of exosomal proteins.
