New type medical talents are in great need in the fierce international competition in medical field.Logic quality is acquired by accumulation,not born to be.Modern medicine sets higher requirement for medical talents in the aspects of logic quality including receiving and processing information,ability of expression and collaboration,forecasting and innovation.Therefore,only through diligent learning,training and repeated practice can enhance the logic quality of medical talents,and develop into winners in the increasingly fiercer international competition in medical field.

Objective To define the effect of hypothyroidism on oxidative stress,p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) mRNA expression in testicular mitochondria of male rats,and to explore the mechanism of hypothyroidism on reproduction.Methods According to body weight (240-270 g),30 male Wistar rats were divided into control group (C group,1 ml/kg normal saline by intragastric administration),low-dose group (L group,0.1 mg/kg propylthiouracil 1 ml/kg by intragastric administration) and high-dose group (H group,10.0 mg/kg propylthiouracil 1 ml/kg by intragastric administration),10 rats in each group,body mass was weighed once every 3 days.After 60 days,all rats were killed.The levels of thyroid hormones [total triiodothyronine (TT3),total thyroxine (TT4),and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)] were measured by radioimmunoassay.The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the testicular mitochondria were determined with spectrophotometric assay.The mRNA expression levels of p38 and JNK in testicular mitochondria were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Results The weights of H group in 30 and 60 days [(265.73 ± 5.10),(253.72 ± 5.09) g] were significantly decreased in comparison with those of C group [(344.62 ± 4.69),(395.33 ± 8.36) g] and L group [(333.66 ± 3.53),(386.08 ± 7.70) g,P ＜0.05].While,testis organ coefficient of H group [(1.20 ± 0.05) g/100 g] were significantly increased compared with those of L group [(0.93 ± 0.03) g/100 g] and C group [(0.88 ± 0.03) g/100 g,P ＜ 0.05].The serum levels of TT3 [(0.39 ± 0.01) nmol/L] and TT4 [(15.47 ± 1.21) nmol/L] in H group were found to be significantly decreased compared with those of C group [(0.86 ± 0.07),(45.56 ± 1.52) nmol/L] and L group [(0.79 ± 0.06),(39.02 ± 1.33) nmol/L,P ＜ 0.05];whereas the level of TSH [(0.65 ± 0.09) mU/L)] was increased in comparison with those of the C group [(0.18 ± 0.06) mU/L] and L group [(0.27 ± 0.05) mU/L,P ＜ 0.05].In addition,the level of SOD in H group [(60.37 ± 3.14) U/mg prot] was decreased compared with that of C group [(75.18 ± 6.13) U/mg prot,P ＜ 0.05];the level of CAT in H group [(1.46 ± 0.25) U/mg prot] and L group [(1.67 ± 0.39) U/mg prot] decreased significantly compared with that of C group [(3.79 ± 0.44) U/mg prot,P ＜ 0.05].And compared with C (1.000 0 ± 0.000 0) and L (1.114 2 ± 0.124 1) groups,p38 mRNA expression in H group (1.387 4 ± 0.122 0) was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05).However,there was no significant change in JNK mRNA expression between groups (F =0.95,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Hypothyroidism may induce oxidative stress of testicular mitochondria leading to the change of p38 cell signal path and then damage the reproductive system in male rats.

Objective:To measure the predictive value of miR-424 on the risk of sepsis complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), and to explore its correlation with the prognosis of ARDS children.Methods:A prospective study was conducted.The data of children with sepsis (some complicated with ARDS), who were treated in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital (People′s Hospital, Zhengzhou University) were collected from February 2020 to February 2021.The incidence of ARDS and the fatality rate of ARDS children were recorded.Children were divided into survival group and death group according to whether death or not.The expression of miR-424 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Pearson correlation analysis was made to investigate the relationship between the expression level of miR-424 and Pediatric Critical Illness Score(PCIS), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment(SOFA) score, oxygenation index(P/F ratio), C-reactive protein(CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8). The factors affecting the prognosis of ARDS children were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was used to assess the accuracy of miR-424 in early diagnosis of sepsis complicated with ARDS, and to measure the predicative value of miR-424 on the risk of death in sepsis patients with ARDS. Results:A total of 121 sepsis patients were included in this study, and 36 cases of them were complicated with ARDS.The expression level of miR-424(0.56±0.17)in the blood of sepsis patients complicated with ARDS was significantly lower than that of sepsis patients without ARDS (0.98±0.26)( t=8.776, P<0.001). The expression of miR-424 was negatively co-rrelated with IL-6( r=-0.627, P<0.01), IL-8 ( r=-0.651, P<0.01) and CRP( r=-0.472, P<0.05)in sepsis patients with ARDS.The expression of miR-424 was positively correlated with PCIS score( r=0.330, P<0.05), P/F ratio ( r=0.592, P<0.001) and albumin ( r=0.496, P<0.05) in sepsis patients with ARDS.The ROC showed that miR-424 [area under curve(AUC)=0.908, 95% CI: 0.856-0.960] could differentiate sepsis patients with ARDS from those without ARDS.Compared with that of the survival group(0.63±0.15), miR-424 of the death group decreased significantly(0.42±0.14)( t=3.890, P<0.05). The decreased miR-424 (AUC=0.845, 95% CI: 0.696-0.995)indicated an increased risk of death in children with ARDS.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that miR-424( OR=0.001, P=0.033)and albumin ( OR=0.553, P=0.040) were independent risk factors for death in ARDS children. Conclusions:miR-424 can help with early diagnosis of sepsis complicated with ARDS, and can be used as a predictor of the prognosis of sepsis children complicated with ARDS.
