ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of crocin tablets (CRO) combined with micropump infusion of doxorubicin in the prevention of acute cardiotoxicity in the patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and explore the related mechanism. MethodThe patients with DLBCL treated in the Huangshi Central Hospital from October 2022 to October 2023 were selected, and 92 patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group at a ratio of 1∶1, with 46 patients in each group. The control group underwent conventional intravenous infusion of doxorubicin, and the observation group received CRO combined with micropump infusion of doxorubicin. The changes of abnormal ECG, myocardial injury markers, cardiac function indicators, oxidative stress, inflammatory mediators, and hemorheological indexes before and after chemotherapy were compared between the two groups. ResultThe incidence of abnormal ECG in the observation group was 23.91% (11/46), which was lower than that (54.35%, 25/46) in the control group (χ2=8.944, P<0.01). On day 8 after chemotherapy, the abnormal rates of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (χ2=4.423, 4.857, both P<0.05). Compared with the control group after chemotherapy, the observation group showed lowered level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, elevated left ventricular ejection fraction and levels of total antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase (P<0.01), declined levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (P<0.01), and decreased low whole blood viscosity, high whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, and fibrinogen (P<0.01). ConclusionCRO combined with micropump infusion of doxorubicin can mitigate acute cardiotoxicity, reduce the incidence of abnormal ECG, protect cardiomyocytes, and improve the cardiac function by exerting the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and improving blood flow.

Objective: To observe the effects of exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on the proliferation and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells, and to analyze the contents of exosomes and explore the mechanisms affecting pancreatic cancer cells. Methods: Exosomes extracted from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were added to pancreatic cancer cells BxPC3, Panc-1 and mouse models of pancreatic cancer, respectively. The proliferative activity and invasion abilities of BxPC3 and Panc-1 cells were measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays. The expressions of miRNAs in exosomes were detected by high-throughput sequencing. GO and KEGG were used to analyze the related functions and the main metabolic pathways of target genes with high expressions of miRNAs. Results: The results of CCK-8 cell proliferation assay showed that the absorbance of BxPC3 and Panc-1 cells in the hucMSCs-exo group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(4.68±0.09) vs. (3.68±0.01), P<0.05; (5.20±0.20) vs. (3.45±0.17), P<0.05]. Transwell test results showed that the number of invasion cells of BxPC3 and Panc-1 in hucMSCs-exo group was significantly higher than that in the control group (129.40±6.02) vs. (89.40±4.39), P<0.05; (134.40±7.02) vs. (97.00±6.08), P<0.05. In vivo experimental results showed that the tumor volume and weight in the exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs-exo) group were significantly greater than that in the control group [(884.57±59.70) mm(3) vs. (695.09±57.81) mm(3), P<0.05; (0.94±0.21) g vs. (0.60±0.13) g, P<0.05]. High-throughput sequencing results showed that miR-148a-3p, miR-100-5p, miR-143-3p, miR-21-5p and miR-92a-3p were highly expressed. GO and KEGG analysis showed that the target genes of these miRNAs were mainly involved in the regulation of glucosaldehylation, and the main metabolic pathways were ascorbic acid and aldehyde acid metabolism, which were closely related to the development of pancreatic cancer. Conclusion: Exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can promote the growth of pancreatic cancer cells and the mechanism is related to miRNAs that are highly expressed in exosomes.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical application effect of a quantitative method of atlantoaxial reduction angle in basilar invagination. Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical and radiographic data was conducted of 38 patients with complicated atlantoaxial dislocation and basilar invagination admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2020 to May 2022. There were 5 males and 33 females, aged (53.5±9.9) years (range: 38 to 80 years). All patients underwent C1-2 interarticular fusion cage implantation+occipital-cervical fixation by pressing rob with the cantilever technique. The atlantoaxial reduction model of previous studies by our team was used to calculate the reduction angles before surgery. Then titanium rods of prebending angle were prepared according to the calculation before the operation. After that quantitative reduction of angle was performed during the operation. The paired t-test was used to compare the difference between the theoretical and actual reset value. Results: The theoretical reduction angle of all patients was (10.62±1.78)° (range: 6.40° to 13.20°), the actual reduction angle was (10.53±1.63)° (range: 6.70° to 13.30°) and there was no statistical difference between them (t=1.688, P=0.100). The theoretical posterior occipitocervical angle after the operation of all patients was (117.37±5.88)° (range: 107.00° to 133.00°), the actual posterior occipitocervical angle after the operation was (118.25±6.77)° (range: 105.40° to 135.80°) and there was no statistical difference between them (t=-0.737, P=0.466). The postoperative follow-up time of the patients was more than 6 months and the symptoms of all patients were relieved. All patients had satisfactory fusion between small joints without incision infection, internal fixation fracture, displacement, atlantoaxial redislocation, and other long-term complications. Conclusion: The quantitative method of atlantoaxial reduction angle in basilar invagination can calculate the theoretical reduction angle of the clivus axis angle and guide the preparation of the pre-bending titanium rod before surgery, so as to realize the quantification of the atlantoaxial reduction angle.
