Objective To investigate the effect of section of pancreatic envelope combined with vacuum sealing drainage under laparoscopy on inflammatory mediators of patients with early severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Forty-two SAP patients were admitted to Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangdong Province from January 2008 to December 2016. That 22 patients underwent pancreatic membrane incision and vacuum sealing drainage under laparoscopy was in the experimental group, and that 20 patients underwent the routine pancreatic membrane incision and double tube drainage was in the control group. The venous blood was collected, the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured before and after operation for 1, 3, 7 and 14 days, and the clinical therapeutic effects were observed in the two groups. Results With the prolongation of therapy, the levels of CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased continuously in both groups, the degrees of decrease of above indexes in experimental group were more significant than those in the control group, and the differences in these indexes between the two groups were statistically significant [CRP (mg/L): 1 day was 203.80±25.12 vs. 271.79±60.41, 3 day was 117.26±19.70 vs. 174.53±42.37; IL-6 (ng/L): 1 day was 40.63±3.38 vs. 57.10±11.46, 3 days was 23.14±3.51 vs. 46.87±10.69; TNF-α (ng/L): 1 day was 23.91±10.42 vs. 36.73±15.90, 3 days was 19.13±8.34 vs. 32.58±15.81, all P < 0.05]. There were no statistical significant differences in the levels of above indexes on 7 days and 14 days after treatment between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The therapeutic efficacy of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group [95.45% (21/22) vs. 90.0% (18/20), P < 0.05]. Conclusion Under laparoscopy, pancreatic envelope incision combined with vacuum sealing drainage performed for early SAP patients can control the body inflammation more rapidly, reduce complications and shorten the disease course.

Objective To understand the barriers of surrogate decision-makers participating in the advanced care planning(ACP)for patients with advanced cancer,and to provide references for the construction and intervention of educational programs.Methods Under the guidance of ternary reciprocal determinism,qualitative research method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 12 surrogate decision makers of advanced cancer patients in 2 tertiary hospitals of Zhejiang Province,and the data was analyzed using targeted content analysis.Results Based on the theory,the influencing factors of participating in ACP of the surrogate decision-makers of patients with advanced cancer were summarized into 3 themes:individual level-dual restriction of subjective thought and objective ability(value restriction,cognitive understanding deviation,economic condition restriction,patient's situation control),environment level-synergistic influence of medical environment and social environment(limited medical conditions,pressure from public moral opinion,insufficient policy guarantee,lack of family consensus),behavior level-interaction of external guidance and internal feedback(lack of guidance of medical staff,experience support of medical decision-making).Conclusion Surrogate decision-makers of patients with advanced cancer face many pressures before participating in the ACP.Under the guidance of the theory of knowledge,belief and practice,medical staff can give them pre-established medical care knowledge to correct their cognitive bias.Medical staff can guide the realization of"family-centered"decision-making mode to strengthen the family support of surrogate decision-makers.Medical staff also can lead the establishment of a surrogate decision-makers support group to share decision-making experience and provide medical decision-making assistance.

ObjectiveTo study the regulatory effect of microRNA-124（miR-124） on the expression of Apelin（APLN） in epileptic neurons and its effect on neuronal injury. Methods Epileptic model of neurons was established by low magnesium extracellular medium. Dual-luciferase reporter gene system was used to verify the regulatory effect of miR-124 on APLN. Quantitative real-time PCR（qRT-PCR） was used to examine mRNA expression of miR-124 and APLN gene. Western blotting was employed to detect the expression of APLN，Bax，Bcl-2，and Caspase 3 proteins. Flow cytometry was utilized to determine the apoptosis of neurons. 〖WTHZ〗Results〖WTBZ〗Although no significant difference was reached，the luciferase activity was lower in miR-124+APLN gene wide-type group than that in control group. Both qRT-PCR and western blotting showed that up-regulation of miR-124 could promote the expression of APLN，and down-regulating miR-124 expression could inhibit APLN mRNA expression. Furthermore，up-regulating miR-124 expression could promote the apoptosis of epileptic neurons. The underlying mechanisms involved up-regulation of pro-apoptotic protein Bax and caspase 3，and down-regulation of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Conclusion The results of this study suggested that miR-124 might positively regulate APLN expression，and miR-124 might lead to neurons deaths by regulating other gene expression other than APLN gene.

Objective Toinvestigatetheexpressionofsuppressorofcytokinesignaling1(SOCS1)inoverloaded ventricle papillary muscle, so as to understand its expression characteristics in structural remodeling after the overloading and the biomechanical properties of the muscle under cubic jellyfish toxin-1(CfTX-1) pretreatment that can affect cell signal transduction. Methods Abdominal aortic-venous fistula (AVF) were operated in Kunming mice (n=5), and the cardiac left ventricles were harvested after two weeks of fistulation. The mice in normal group were sham operated as a control (n=5). In vitro culture, the left ventricular papillary muscle of normal mice was used (n=20). In the stretching group, the isolated papillary muscles were double-ratio stretched and fixed on silicone plate. In the relaxation group, the muscles were not stretched. A separated subgroup that transfected with SOCS1 plasmids were set in each group of stretching and relaxation. The papillary muscle samples of each group were cultured in culture medium for 3 days at 37 ℃, and then homogenized for extracting total protein. The total protein was separated by 10％ sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 23 ku band with SOCS1 was used as the target band, and the integrated optical density (IOD) value was measured by computer image analysis method. The expression of SOCS1 protein was detected by Western Blot and the imprinted IOD value was also measured. The papillary muscle in the stretching group was stretched by micro-positioned stretching method, and the initial load was 1 g. After stabilization, the papillary muscle was stretched by 15 mm for continuously 5 times, and the passive tension characteristic curves during the first and fifth stretching were observed and recorded. The peak passive tension (PTmax) and its deceleration velocity (DV) of the papillary muscle were calculated based on the curves. Results Comparing with the AVF group, the normal group had higher IOD values of 23 ku band and SOCS1 blot in total protein of the papillary muscle, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). The IOD value of 23 ku band in the SOCS1 transfected stretching group was significantly higher than those of the two relaxation groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). However, the difference of this value was not statistically significant between the two relaxation groups. The average IOD value of SOCS1 blot in the SOCS1 transfected stretching group was higher than those of the normal stretching group and the SOCS1 transfected relaxation group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). Comparing with the normal group, the AVF group had higher PTmax and ultimate PTmax of the papillary muscles, and had a lower DV values, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). Conclusions The expression of SOCS1 is sensitive to tension load, and has a positive effect as an overload-sensitive signal in improving myocardial adaptability, protecting myocardial structure and maintaining systolic and diastolic function. CfTX-1 also has a positive effect on improving the compliance of ventricular papillary muscles.

BACKGROUND:Inherited heart disease has a high prevalence and mortality rate,but its pathogenesis has not yet been clarified.Although relevant animal models have been established to provide a foundation for the pathogenesis research of inherited heart disease,the value of these research results has been significantly reduced due to differences among species.Therefore,a new model is needed to explore its occurrence and development. OBJECTIVE:To review the current role of induced pluripotent stem cells in disease modeling and potential application prospects in various inherited heart diseases. METHODS:The first author searched the relevant articles published nearly 13 years in PubMed from January to March 2023.The search terms were"induced pluripotent stem cell,inherited heart disease,congenital heart disease".Finally,76 articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Since 2007,when induced pluripotent stem cells were induced from human somatic cells,many studies have been reported on disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells.Due to the ability of disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells to reproduce disease phenotypes,they are expected to become a new research tool for in vitro disease modeling,used to analyze pathogenesis and develop auxiliary drugs.In the research of cardiovascular genetic diseases,cardiomyocytes derived from patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells contain gene mutations that are involved in cardiac dysplasia.Therefore,it can be used as a new tool to study the potential mechanisms of inherited heart disease.Up to now,induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes have been widely used to study the molecular mechanisms of various genetic heart diseases,such as cardiac electrophysiological diseases,cardiomyopathy,and some syndromic inherited heart diseases.

Small ubiquitin-related modifier(SUMOylation)is a dynamic post-translational modification that maintains cardiac function and can protect against a hypertrophic response to cardiac pressure overload.However,the function of SUMOylation after myocardial infarction(MI)and the molecular details of heart cell responses to SUMO1 deficiency have not been determined.In this study,we demonstrated that SUMO1 protein was inconsistently abundant in different cell types and heart regions after MI.However,SUMO1 knockout significantly exacerbated systolic dysfunction and infarct size after myocardial injury.Single-nucleus RNA sequencing revealed the differential role of SUMO1 in regulating heart cells.Among cardiomyocytes,SUMO1 deletion increased the Nppa+Nppb+Ankrd1+cardiomyocyte subcluster pro-portion after MI.In addition,the conversion of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts subclusters was inhibited in SUMO1 knockout mice.Importantly,SUMO1 loss promoted proliferation of endothelial cell subsets with the ability to reconstitute neovascularization and expressed angiogenesis-related genes.Computational analysis of ligand/receptor interactions suggested putative pathways that mediate cardiomyocytes to endothelial cell communication in the myocardium.Mice preinjected with cardiomyocyte-specific AAV-SUMO1,but not the endothelial cell-specific form,and exhibited ameliorated cardiac remodeling following MI.Collectively,our results identified the role of SUMO1 in cardiomyocytes,fibroblasts,and endothelial cells after Ml.These findings provide new insights into SUMO1 involvement in the patho-genesis of MI and reveal novel therapeutic targets.

Objective:To identify the potential pathogenic genes for perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) in the patients with digestive system tumors.Methods:The gene expression data of esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer and liver cancer in The Cancer Genome Atlas database were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis method, and the differentially expressed genes in tumor tissues in above-mentioned disease samples were identified compared with para-carcinoma tissues.Secretory proteome differential genes with the same expression trend in digestive system tumors were obtained by comparing with human secretory proteome genes.The correlation between secretomics and PND was determined by comparing with the GeneCards database.Hub genes were identified through PPI network construction and calculation, and the functions and signaling pathways of the above-mentioned differential genes were identified through GO and KEGG enrichment analysis.Results:Compared with para-carcinoma tissues, the expression of 2 640 genes was significantly up-regulated and the expression of 1 423 genes was down-regulated in esophageal cancer tissues; the expression of 3 748 genes was up-regulated and the expression of 908 genes was down-regulated in gastric cancer samples; the expression of 2 684 genes was up-regulated and the expression of 2 678 genes was down-regulated in colon cancer samples; the expression of 2 876 genes was up-regulated and the expression of 2 945 genes was down-regulated in rectal cancer samples; the expression of 1 484 genes was up-regulated and the expression of 723 genes was down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma samples.Among them, the expression of the encoding genes of 53 secreted proteins was uniformly up-regulated and the expression of the encoding genes of 20 secreted proteins was uniformly down-regulated in the above tumors.Twenty up-regulated genes and 3 down-regulated genes were associated with PND.PPI network analysis showed that MMP9 was the hub gene.The results of GO and KEGG analysis suggested that differentially expressed genes were mainly related to receptor-ligand activity, cytokine activity and chemokine activity, and were mainly enriched in signaling pathways related to cell cycle and cellular senescence.Conclusions:About 23 differentially expressed genes in digestive system tumors are potentially related to PND, of which MMP9 and other genes may be the hub genes, mainly acting on receptor-ligand binding, regulation of cytokine and chemokine activity, cell cycle, cellular senescence and other related signaling pathways.
