Objective:To investigate the expression level and clinical value of serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:The clinical data of 152 patients with AP admitted to Danzhou people's Hospital from January 2017 to September 2020 were selected. According to the severity of their illness, they were divided into MAP group ( n=70), MSAP group ( n=40), and SAP group ( n=42). The SAP group was divided into survival group ( n=25) and death group ( n=17) according to the prognosis of the patients. Another 50 healthy people were selected as the control group. Fastening venous blood was collected on the day of onset, and the expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p in each group were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p were analyzed to evaluate the prognosis of SAP. The correlation between serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p expression levels in SAP patients was analyzed by Pearson method. Results:The expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p (3.18±1.27 vs 0.96±0.28) and miR-551b-5p (1.94±0.85 vs 0.51±0.12) in AP group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P<0.001). The expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p (4.36±1.70 vs 2.84±1.10, 2.50±0.92) and miR-551b-5p (2.80±1.04 vs 1.68±0.53, 1.42±0.45) in SAP group were significantly higher than those in MSAP group and MAP group ( P<0.001). The expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p (5.30±1.95 vs 3.47±1.40) and miR-551b-5p (3.62±1.37 vs 2.08±0.91) in death group were significantly higher than those in survival group ( P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the combination of miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5 in judging the prognosis of SAP was significantly higher than that of the single index of miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5[0.943(95% CI0.886-0.997) vs 0.860(95% CI0.797-0.924), 0.822(95% CI0.795-0.880)], with a sensitivity of 98.3% and specificity of 84.6%. Correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlation between the expression level of serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p in SAP patients ( r=0.835, P<0.001). Conclusions:The expression levels of miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p in serum of AP patients were significantly increased, and the combined detection of miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p had a good value in judging the prognosis of SAP.

Objective:To explore the effect of emergency "zero channel" process on improving the efficiency of intravenous thrombolysis in stroke.Methods:Fifty-eight acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were enrolled into experimental group; another 58 acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 and matched with age and gender were selected as control group. "Green channel" process was adopted for patients in the control group, and optimized "zero channel" process (moving the working passageway forward to the ambulance) was implemented for patients in the experimental group. Door to rescue room time (DRRT), door to consultation time (DCT), door to laboratory examination completion time (DLECT), door to CT report time (DCRT), and door to needle time (DNT) were used to evaluate the times of emergency treatment. The thrombolytic effect of the two groups was compared by evaluating the recanalization rate of occluded vessels and thrombolytic efficiency. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the prognoses 6 months after treatment in both groups, and mRS scores≤2 was defined as good prognosis.Results:The DCRT, DCT and DNT in the experimental group were significantly shorter than those in the control group ( P<0.05); the compliance rate of DNT≤60 min in the experimental group was significantly higher as compared with that in the control group ( P<0.05). The immediate recanalization rate of occluded vessels in the experimental group and control group was 60.3% and 27.6%, and the thrombolytic efficiency was94.83% and 82.76%; significant differences were noted between the two groups ( χ2=12.633, P<0.001; χ2=4.245, P=0.039). The good prognosis rate of the experimental group and control group was 36.2% and 15.5%, respectively, after 6 months of follow-up ( χ2=4.016, P=0.041). Conclusion:Emergency "zero channel" can further shorten DCT, DCRT, and DNT, and improve the efficiency of thrombolysis and prognoses of acute ischemic stroke patients.

【Objective】 To investigate the predictive value of nutritional risk index (NRI), systemic immune inflammatory index (SⅡ) and triglyceride glucose (TyG) index on the condition and prognosis of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). 【Methods】 A total of 173 AP patients were divided into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) group (n=79), moderate acute pancreatitis (MSAP) group (n=44), and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group (n=50) according to their severity. All the 50 SAP patients were divided into death group (19 cases) and survival group (31 cases) according to the death situation. The NRI, SⅡ and TyG indexes of each group were recorded and compared. The values of NRI, SⅡ and TyG index in predicting the occurrence and death of SAP were analyzed with ROC curve. Pearson correlation analysis of the correlation between NRI, SⅡ, and TyG index in SAP patients was made. 【Results】 NRI was significantly lower in SAP group (89.25±4.50) than in MSAP group (93.40±6.25) and MAP group (97.62±8.60), while SⅡand TyG index in SAP group (2 706.30±1 052.74, 7.84±1.21) were significantly higher than those in MSAP group (1 937.24±983.48, 6.52±1.05) and MAP group (1 280.58±717.36, 4.65±0.58) (P<0.001). NRI in death group (86.40±3.70) was significantly lower than that in survival group (91.46±5.28), while SⅡ and TyG index in death group (3 085.73±1 192.48, 9.05±1.37) were significantly higher than those in survival group (2 270.26±994.53, 6.70±1.10) (P<0.001). The ROC curve showed that the AUC of NRI, SⅡ and TyG index jointly predicting SAP occurrence and death was 0.850 (95% CI: 0.792-0.908) and 0.905 (95% CI: 0.843-0.966), respectively. Correlation analysis showed that NRI was negatively correlated with SⅡ and TyG index in SAP patients (r=-0.761, P<0.001, r=-0.813, P<0.001), while SⅡ was positively correlated with TyG index (r=0.842, P<0.001). 【Conclusion】 NRI, SⅡ and TyG index are related to the severity and death of AP patients, and the combination of the three indexes has good value in predicting the occurrence and prognosis of SAP.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Gancao Fuzitang (GCFZ)in inhibiting the bone destruction of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model in mice. MethodThirty male DBa/1J mice were randomly divided into normal group, CIA group, low-dose GCFZ group (GCFZ-L, 2.4 g·kg-1), high-dose GCFZ group (GCFZ-H, 4.8 g·kg-1), and methotrexate group (MTX, 1 mg·kg-1), with six mice in each group. The CIA model was induced by secondary immunization method. The arthritis index of mice in each group was observed and recorded, and the histopathological changes in ankle joint were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The damage to ankle cartilage was detected by safranin O-fast green staining. Micro-CT scanning was used to detect the bone destruction of ankle joint, and the expression of nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65), p-NF-κB p65, inhibitory-κB kinase α/β (IKKα/β), and p-IKKα/β was observed by immunohistochemical staining. ResultCompared with the normal group, the CIA group showed manifest joint swelling and increased arthritis index score (P<0.01). Compared with the CIA group, the groups with drug intervention could inhibit joint swelling and reduce arthritis index score (P<0.05, P<0.01). As revealed by HE staining and safranine O-green staining, compared with the CIA group, the groups with drug intervention could inhibit synovial invasion and reduce the destruction of articular cartilage. Micro-CT scanning analysis showed that compared with the CIA group, the GCFZ-H group and the MTX group showed reduced bone destruction scores (P<0.01). The immunohistochemical results showed that compared with the normal group, the CIA group showed increased optical density values of NF-κB p65, p-NF-κB p65, IKKα/β, and p-IKKα/β(P<0.01). Compared with the CIA group, the GCFZ-H group and the MTX group showed reduced optical density values of NF-κB p65, p-NF-κB p65, IKKα/β, and p-IKKα/β(P<0.05,P<0.01). In the GCFZ-L group, only the NF-κB p65 optical density value decreased(P<0.01). ConclusionGCFZ may inhibit bone destruction in CIA mice by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.
