Objective:To construct an adeno-associated vector expressing Snail "tough decoy" (TUD).Methods:The nucleotide sequence of Snail gene were obtained from GenBank,then 2 cDNAs were designed and synthesized coding expression of small hairpin RNAs for Snail genes.The pAAV-U6-shRNA-Snail-TUD-EGFP expression vector was constructed by molecular biological techniques.Then pAAV-U6-shRNA-Snail-TUD-EGFP was co-transfected with Helper Free adeno-associated virus system pAAV-RC and pAAV-Helper into AAV-293 cell line to form rAAY-U6-shRNA-Snail-TUD(shRNA-Snail).The silencing effect of shRNA-Snail in Tca8113 and Cal-27 cells was detected by RT-PCR.The titer of the virus was measured.The expression level of green fluorescent protein in AAV-293 cells was monitored by the fluorescent microscopy.Results:The result of gene sequencing showed that shRNA-Snail was successful constructed in pAAV-U6-shRNA-Snail-TUD-EGFP vector.The titer of the recombined virus was 4.4 × 1010/ml.The Snail mRNA and protein expression level was significantly reduced in Tca8113 and Cal-27 cells by rAAY-U6-shRNA-Snail-TUD-EGFP transfection.Conclusion:rAAY-U6-shRNA-Snail-TUD-EGFP may inhibite Snail gene expression in cells.
2.Researeh Advances of Collaterals in Chronic Total Occlusions of Coronary Arteries
Chinese Circulation Journal 2024;39(1):83-88
The formation of collaterals is a characteristic feature in the pathogenesis of chronic total occlusion of the coronary arteries.Myocardial viability distal to the lesion maintained by collaterals is critical in facilitating subsequent myocardial revascularization.Comprehensive research on the pathological and pathophysiological processes of the collaterals will help to understand the morphological and functional evaluation methods of the collaterals,which will lead to the timely diagnosis and effective treatment of chronic total occlusion.In this article,we intend to review research advances on collaterals in chronic total occlusion,focusing on the pathophysiological mechanisms,the methods of morphological and functional evaluation,as well as the clinical implication.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) continues to be one of the most life-threatening conditions for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The 2023 European Society of Intensive Care Medicine guidelines on ARDS: definition, phenotyping and respiratory support strategies (2023 Guideline) update the 2017 An Official American Thoracic Society/European Society of Intensive Care Medicine/Society of Critical Care Medicine clinical practice guideline: mechanical ventilation in adult patients with ARDS (2017 Guideline), including 7 aspects of 3 topics of definitions, phenotyping, and respiratory support strategies [including high flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNO), non-invasive ventilation (NIV), neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA), extracorporeal life support (ECLS), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with recruitment maneuvers (RM), tidal volume (VT), and prone positioning]. 2023 Guideline review and summarize the literature since the publication of the 2017 Guideline, covering ARDS and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, as well as ARDS caused by novel coronavirus infection. Based on the most recent medical evidence, the 2023 Guideline provide clinicians with new ideas and approaches for nonpharmacologic respiratory support strategies for adults with ARDS. This article provides interpretation of the new concepts, the new approaches, the new recommended grading and new levels of evidence for ARDS in the 2023 Guideline.

长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)是一类长度大于200 nt、且不编码的RNA。lncRNA已被证明与人类疾病紧密相关,尤其 是肿瘤发生发展。研究表明,肿瘤中一些异常表达的lncRNA可以通过不同的信号通路, 如Wnt/β-catenin信号通路,促进肿瘤进 展过程。在不同肿瘤组织中具有特异性表达特征的lncRNA与Wnt/β-catenin信号通路之间的相互作用显示出其作为新的生物标 志物和治疗靶点的潜能。本文就Wnt/β-catenin信号通路相关lncRNA通过调控Wnt/β-catenin信号转导,影响不同肿瘤类型发生 发展的作用进行综述。本文结果或可为临床肿瘤诊断和治疗提供新的思路。

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been proven to reduce surgical injuries, promote recovery, and improve postoperative outcomes in different types of surgeries. A core principle of ERAS is to provide programmatic evidence-based perioperative interventions. An international multidisciplinary expert group provided a statement on clinical practice in each thematic area of ERAS by obtaining a list of potential ERAS elements, and reviewing literature. The version 2024 of "Perioperative care in cardiac surgery: A joint consensus statement by the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Cardiac Society, ERAS International Society, and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS)" is developed from the version 2019 of "Guidelines for perioperative care in cardiac surgery: Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Society recommendations". The consensus statement group was composed of multidisciplinary experts such as cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensive care physicians, and nurses, based on personal ERAS knowledge and experience. This article interprets the changes and new statements in the 2024 consensus, which can provide a foundation for the best perioperative practices for adult cardiac surgery patients.
