The methamphetamine(METH)addiction is a compensatory adaptation of the central nervous system after the long-term exposure to METH in the molecular,cellular,neuronal loop function and brain structure.As a new type of post transcriptional regulatory molecules and regulatory factors,miRNAs are a large number of regulatory factors in the central nervous system.Studies have shown that miRNAs play an important role in the regulation of METH addiction.This paper is to review and summarize the expression features and the regulatory role of miRNAs in METH addiction,as well as the different expression of miRNAs in different tissues and organs.The aim of this paper is to provide a reference for further study on the role of miRNAs molecules in METH addiction and the discovery of new drug targets.

Objective To introduce a single person operation procedure for tail vein injection in conscious tree shrews,and to improve the success rate of injection. Methods The tree shrew was fixed by a canvas glove and a clamp. The tail of the tree shrew was fixed by the operator's left hand, and the drug was injected by the right hand with a 1 mL disposable syringe. Results This method had the advantages of simple operation,economy and practicality,good fixation effect,high matching degree of animals and high success rate of drug administration. Conclusions Compared with other methods,this method has obvious advantages such as single person operation, convenient, time-saving and labor-saving. The cost is low and the effect is good,thus significantly improving the success rate of injection.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk stratification of 182 patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE), and to investigate the correlation of neutrophil (N)/lymphocyte (L) ratio (NLR) and risk stratification/prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 182 APE patients admitted to Peking University People’s Hospital from January 2015 to March 2021 were retrospectively collected, including age, sex, symptoms and signs, blood pressure, blood gas analysis, blood routine parameters, cardiac biomarkers, coagulation parameters, and right ventricular imaging parameters. The patients were divided into groups according to the risk stratification at admission and prognosis in hospital. χ2 test, t test or nonparametric test were used to analyze the differences in clinical characteristics, blood routine parameters, blood gas analysis, coagulation parameters and other parameters between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to study the independent risk factors for the prognosis of APE. Results:Among the 182 patients, 79 were male and 103 were female, 23 were in the high-risk group, 51 were in the intermediate-high-risk group, 46 were in the intermediate-low risk group, and 62 were in the low-risk group. There were 27 deaths and 155 survivors. The respiratory rate of the high/intermediate-high-risk group was significantly higher than that of the low/intermediate-low-risk group. Compared with the other three groups, pH, oxygen partial pressure (PO 2) and blood oxygen saturation (SO 2) in the high-risk group were significantly lower ( both P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in WBC, N, and NLR levels between the high/intermediate-high-risk group and low/intermediate-low-risk group ( both P<0.05). However there were no significant differences in PLT, PLT/MPV, PLT/PDW, and coagulation related parameters PT, FIB, APTT and D-D between groups (all P > 0.05). MPV and PDW were only significantly different between the low-risk group, intermediate-low-risk group and high-risk group ( both P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR ( OR=1.179,95% CI:1.029-1.410, P=0.039) and PH ( OR=1.156,95% CI:1.031-1.522, P=0.041) were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. The ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of NLR for in-hospital mortality. When the cutoff value of NLR was 8.38, the AUC of NLR was 0.824 (95% CI: 0.829-0.913), the corresponding sensitivity was 0.831, and the specificity was 0.887. Conclusions:NLR is correlated with risk stratification and prognosis of APE, and is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of personalized pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)for proliferative di-abetic retinopathy(PDR).Methods In this retrospective case study,76 patients(86 eyes)diagnosed with PDR and re-ceiving PPV in the Department of Ophthalmology of Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,from October 2019 to November 2022,were divided into the observation group(40 patients,46 eyes)and the control group(36 patients,40 eyes).Patients in the obseration group were treated with personalized PPV,while patients in the control group were treated with conventional PPV,After treatment,all patients were followed up for 12 months.The operation time,intraoperative use of heavy water and silicone oil,incidence of iatrogenic retinal tears and heavy water resi-dues,proportion of scleral buckling,preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and intraocular pressure(IOP),retinal reattachment rate at 12 months after surgery,and the incidence of post-vitrectomy vitreous hemor-rhage(PVH),diabetic macular edema(DME)and neovascular glaucoma(NVG)were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time of patients in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05).Intraoperative use of heavy water and silicone oil in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(both P<0.05).The incidence of iatrogenic retinal tears and heavy water residues and the proportion of scleral buckling showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups(all P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in BCVA preoperatively,3,6 and 12 months postoperatively(all P>0.05).BCVA in the observa-tion group was better than that in the control group at 1 day,1 week and 1 month after surgery(all P<0.05).Compared with the preoperative value,BCVA increased in the observation group at 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months,6 months,and 12 months after surgery(all P<0.05);in the control group,BCVA increased slightly at 1 day and 1 week(both P>0.05)and then increased significantly at 1 month,3 months,6 months,and 12 months after surgery(all P<0.05).The two groups showed no statistically significant difference in IOP at 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months,6 months,and 12 months postoperatively(all P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the retinal reattachment rate and the inci-dence of complications such as PVH,DME,and NVG between the two groups at 12 months postoperatively(all P>0.05).Conclusion Personalized PPV can shorten the operation time,reduce the intraoperative use of heavy water and silicone oil,enhance the efficiency of the operation,and rapidly improve the visual acuity of PDR patients.
