BACKGROUND:Metabonomics has been proved to analyze and observe the pathological process of rat myocardial infarction and the underlying mechanism. OBJECTIVE:To further analyze the metabolomic pathways of bioinformatics in rat models of myocardial infarction. METHODS:The experimental studies about rat myocardial infarction were retrieved from CNKI, WanFang, CqVip, PubMed and Embase databases. The metabolic products described in the literatures were col ected and summarized. Signaling pathways were analyzed using KEGG database molecular function annotation, the enzymes, translocators and their properties were analyzed by HMDB database. Metabolites pathway were visualized with MetPA. RESULTS AND CONSLUSION:A total of 26 metabolic products were identified in the included literatures and mainly participated in 29 metabolic pathways. Through topology analysis, 5 of the 10 metabolic pathways were selected and regarded as the metabolic pathways of myocardial infarction in rats, including aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis;glycine, serine and threonine metabolism;valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis;biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids;phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis. In conclusion, the bioinformatics analysis of metabolites in rats with myocardial infarction show that myocardial infarction is related to the metabolism and metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, proteins, fat and RNA.

AIM: To study the alterations of heme oxygenase-1 mRNA in vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and the role of heme oxygenase(HO)/carbon monoxide(CO)pathway in the disorders of regulation of cardiovascular system by LPS. METHODS: LPS (final concentrations 10 mg/L,30 mg/L and 50 mg/L) was added in cultured VSMCs for 6 h respectively or 10 mg/L LPS for 9 h and 18 h. MDA content, LDH release and the rate of trypan blue uptake of VSMC were measured. HO-1 mRNA expression was examined by Northern Blot. RESULTS: VSMC HO-1 mRNA expression was increased gradually with the increasing of LPS concentration. When final concentration of LPS was 50 mg/L, the HO-1 mRNA expression of VSMC was increased by 176.7% compared with control. When LPS final concentration was 10 mg/L, the HO-1 mRNA expression increased gradually along with the culture time. When cultured for 18 h, the HO-1 mRNA expression of VSMC was increased by 195.6% compared with control. Only at LPS 50 mg/L for 6 h and 10 mg/L for 18 h, the rate of trypan blue uptake,MDA content and LDH release were significantly increased. CONCLUSION: LPS can induce the HO-1 mRNA expression of VSMC and that were dose-dependent and time-dependent. The inducible HO may play an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular system under LPS. [

Aim To investigate the changes of behav-iors,neurotransmitters and depression related gene ex-pressions in hippocampus of C57BL/6 mice after olfac-tory bulbectomy (OB).Methods Forced swimming test (FST),tail suspension test (TST),open filed test (OFT),and elevated plus maze test (EPMT) were used to evaluate the behavioral changes 18 days after surgery. LC-MS/MS method was employed to measure the hippocampal neurotransmitters.Quantita-tive PCR approach was established to determine the hippocampal gene expressions associated with depres-sion.Results OB mice were hyperactive in OFT (P<0.05 ) accompanied with increased time spent in open arm of EPMT (P<0.01).Meanwhile,the sur-gery led to the reduction of the ratio of 5-HIAA/5-HT (P <0.01 ) but the increase of Glu/GABA (P <0.01 ) in hippocampus.Moreover,OB elevated the gene expressions of BDNF,Trkb,GDNF,CD1 1 b and TNF-αbut down-regulated that of TPH2 in hippocam-pus (P<0.05 ).Conclusion Behavioral alternation of OB mice was a result of comprehensive effect of the changes of neurotransmission and depression related genes,which call us special attention in using OB as an animal model for research and development of anti-depressants.

AIM: To investigate the influencing factors of vault after the posterior chamber phakic refractive lens(PC-PRL)implantation for patients with super high myopia.METHODS: Retrospective case study. A total of 40 patients with super high myopia(77 eyes)who underwent PC-PRL implantation in the Haixiang Eye Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were selected. They were followed up for at least 2a, postoperative anterior segment parameters, such as the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central anterior chamber depth(ACD), anterior chamber volume(ACV), anterior chamber angle(ACA), lens thickness and vault were evaluated, and then the influencing factors of postoperative vault were analyzed.RESULTS: The UCVA and BCVA of the patients significantly improved after PC-PRL implantation(P<0.001). Average safety index(postoperative BCVA/preoperative BCVA)was 1.36±0.32, and average effective index(postoperative UCVA/preoperative BCVA)was 1.23±0.31 in 2a after surgery. The vault in 2a after surgery was correlated with preoperative ACD, ACV, ACA and lens thickness, and the preoperative ACV and lens thickness had significant impact on vault in 2a after surgery.CONCLUSIONS: The PC-PRL implantation is safe and effective in super high myopia, and it can significantly improve visual acuity. Furthermore, preoperative ACV and lens thickness are important influencing factors of postoperative vault.

Objective To evaluate if strategic urethrostomy could reduce complications in complicated hypospadias repair.Methods From January 2016 to August 2018,165 patients of complicated hypospadias were reviewed according to inclusion criteria.They were divided into three groups of one-stage repair (group A,n =86),two-stage repair using Bracka procedure (group B,n =49) and strategic urethrostomy (group C,n =30).The median age was 26 months in group A,24 months in group B and 28 months in group C.The median length of urethral defect was 3.0 (2.0-10.0) cm,4.0 (2.5-10.0) cm and 3.8(2.5-11.0) cm in the different three groups,respectively.No difference showed in age or length of urethral defect among 3 groups.Three groups were compared with rates of urethral fistula,urethral stricture and urethral diverticulum.Results After average of 20.0 months follow-up,the urethral stricture incidence of group C [3.3％ (1/30)] was significantly lower than that of group A [22.0％ (19/86),P =0.023] and group B[24.5％ (12/49),P =0.032].The complications were found in 7 patients with urethral fistula and 11 patients with urethral diverticulum in group A,4 patients with urethral fistula and 3 patients with urethral diverticulum in group B,none patient with urethral fistula nor urethral diverticulum in group C,respectively.The incidence of urethral fistula was 8.1％ (7/86),8.2％ (4/49) and 0 in the three groups,and the rate of urethral diverticulum was 12.8％ (11/86),6.1％ (3/49) and 0,respectively.None difference was shown neither in the incidence of urethral fistula nor urethral diverticulum among the three groups(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Strategic urethrostomy is a novel and effective method for complicated hypospadias repair.Application of strategic urethrostomy can significantly decrease urethral stricture and improve success rate in complicated hypospadias repair.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of monitoring drainage fluid parathyroid hormone (dPTH) for estimating the in situ reserves and function of the parathyroid by analyzing the change of serum calcium,serum parathyroid hormone(sPTH) and dPTH after thyroid surgery.Methods According to the operative method,the total of 144 patients with thyroid disease were divided into five groups:unilateral lobectomy,unilateral lobectomy plus isthmectomy with unilateral lymph node dissection,total thyroidectomy,total thyroidectomy with unilateral lymph node dissection,and total thyroidectomy with bilateral lymph node dissection group.The blood calcium,sPTH and dPTH level of patients were tested before operation and on the 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th day after operation.The depression of serum calcium,hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism were observed after operation.The serum calcium,serum PTH and dPTH level were summarized and analyzed statistically in order to evaluate the in situ reserves and postoperative function of the parathyroid.Results Among the 114 cases,the decline of serum calcium level mostly happened on the 2nd day after operation(70 cases,61.4％).There were 36 patients with hypocalcemia (31.58％) and 34 patients with hypoparathyroidism (29.82％).Serum calcium level increased gradually in all of the patients.Although sPTH level swung,it had a rising trend on the whole.The level of serum calcium and sPTH was positively correlated.The level of dPTH was discrete and decreased along with time.The decline level of dPTH among different groups had statistical difference.Conclusions It is a promising method to evaluate the in situ reserves and function of the parathyroid by monitoring the level and changes of dPTH after thyroid surgery,and it is of value for preventive calcium supplementation after thyroid surgery.
