ObjectiveTo clarify the expression of TRIM28 in non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia （AML） and its correlation with clinical indicators and prognosis， and to further explore the effect of TRIM28 expression levels on the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells using small interfering RNA. MethodsThe GSE34577 dataset was analyzed using R software to compare TRIM28 expression between healthy controls and non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia （AML） patients. Clinical samples from non-M3 AML patients were collected， with TRIM28 expression levels measured using real-time quantitative PCR （qPCR）. The analysis focused on correlations between TRIM28 expression and various clinical indicators， treatment efficacy， and patient prognosis. Furthermore， small interfering RNA （siRNA） technology was employed to downregulate TRIM28 expression in human primary AML cells （HL60 cell line）. The effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis were then assessed through CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry， respectively. ResultsThe results showed that TRIM28 was up-regulated in non-M3 AML of both online database GSE34577 and clinical samples （P<0.000 1）， TRIM28 expression of new diagnosis group and relapsed refractory group was higher than iron deficiency anemia group （P<0.01）， and there was no significance between different French-American-British classification systems subtype. TRIM28 expression was higher in non-M3 AML patients with a poor genetic prognosis stratified as moderate than in the good prognosis group， and TRIM28 expression was associated with NPM1 combined with the FLT3-ITD mutation， positively correlated with age， bone marrow blast， peripheral blood blast and white blood cell， negatively correlated with hemoglobin. In addition， interference TRIM28 greatly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis. ConclusionThis study reveals that TRIM28 is highly expressed in non-M3 AML and associated with prognosis， and plays a key role in the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells， suggesting that TRIM28 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for non-M3 AML.

Objective To evaluate retinal vascular and neural changes in patients with coronary artery disease with depression(CADD)and to investigate their association with depression severity.Methods A total of 40 patients with CADD,56 patients with CAD without depressive disorder(CADND),and 31 healthy controls were included in this study.The vessel density of superficial capillary plexus(SCP)and deep capillary plexus(DCP),and the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)and ganglion cell complex(GCC),were quanti-fied using optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)to analyze the differences between the groups and their correlation with PHQ-9 scores.Results Compared with the healthy control group,SCP and DCP were signifi-cantly decreased in both CADD and CADND groups(P<0.05).Both superior hemi in RNFL thickness and GCC thickness(including mean,superior hemi,and inferior hemi)were significantly increased in patients with CADD compared with patients with CADND(P<0.05).PHQ-9 scores were negatively correlated with the mean and infe-rior RNFL thickness(P<0.05).Conclusion Both retinal vascular neural structures were altered in patients with CADD,and the neural alterations were strongly correlated with the severity of the patient's depression symptom.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Saussurea involucrata injection (SII) in alleviating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to explore the mechanism of action of SII in alleviating RA through the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-kappaBp65 (NF-κBp65) pathway-mediated M1 macrophage polarization.Methods:In vivo experiments were conducted using a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model. After successful modeling, the CIA rats were randomly assigned into five groups ( n=10 per group): CIA control group, MTX group, low-dose SII (L-SII) group, medium-dose SII (M-SII) group, and high-dose SII (H-SII) group. The efficacy of SII in alleviating RA was evaluated using arthritis index scores, histopathology, and ELISA to measure serum levels of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Subsequently, Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and CD86 proteins in synovial tissue. In vitro experiments involved first isolating and inducing rat bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). Then, BMDMs were polarized toward the M1 phenotype using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) combined with interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Concurrently, cells were treated with SII and the TLR4 inhibitor TAK242. Subsequently, ELISA was used to detect NO, IL-1β, TNF-α levels in the cell culture supernatant via ELISA. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of IL-1b, IL-6, and TNF-α genes in each group of cells. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of iNOS, CD86, TLR4, myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88), and p-NF-κBp65/NF-κBp65 proteins in the cells. Data analysis between multiple groups was performed using one-way analysis of variance, and between pairs using LSD- t-tests. Results:In vivo experimental results showed that compared with the CIA group(7.90 ± 0.70), MTX and SII both improved the pathological symptoms of rats and reduced the ankle joint pathological score [MTX (4.40 ± 0.92), L-SII (7.00 ± 0.89), M-SII (5.10 ± 1.30), H-SII (4.90 ± 0.94), t=33.86, P<0.001; t=9.10, P<0.001; t=2.38, P=0.029; t=5.69, P<0.001; t=7.66, P<0.001], while downregulating serum levels of NO, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in serum, as well as iNOS [ t=30.01, P<0.001; t=6.17, P=0.003; t=10.86, P<0.001; t=28.95, P<0.001; t=19.03, P<0.001] and CD86 [ t=65.61, P<0.001; t=8.76, P<0.001; t=13.18, P<0.001; t=13.22, P<0.001; t=18.91, P<0.001] expression. In vitro experimental results showed that compared with BMDMs treated with LPS and IFN-γ, SII and TAK242 treatment reduced the levels of NO, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the supernatant and decreased the expression of IL-1b, IL-6, and TNF-α genes. Additionally, SII and TAK242 treatment downregulated the expression of iNOS and CD86 proteins in cells, and simultaneously downregulated TLR4, MYD88, and p-NF-κBp65/NF-κBp65 expression ( t=35.84, P<0.001; t=15.69, P<0.001; t=21.99, P<0.001; t=23.64, P<0.001; t=22.50, P<0.001). Additionally, compared with the TAK242 group alone, TAK242 + H-SII showed no significant differences in the modulation of M1 macrophage polarization and TLR4/NF-κBp65 pathway-related indicators. Conclusion:SII exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-RA effects by inhibiting TLR4/NF-κBp65-mediated M1 macrophage polarization.

Objective To evaluate the effects of fasting and high-fat diet on the pharmacokinetics of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets in healthy Chinese subjects.Methods A single-center,randomized,open,two-agent,two-sequence,four-cycle,fully repeated crossover,single-dose trial design was used in this study,healthy subjects were assigned to receive single dose of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets 0.1 g in either fasting or high-fat diet state,and blood samples were taken at different time points,respectively.The concentrations of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated in plasma were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS),the model method of the non-compartmental was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters by Phoenix WinNonlin 8.2.Results The main pharmacokinetic parameters of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets in fasting state and high-fat diet state were as follows:Cmax were(339.63±156.47)and(318.86±132.13)ng·mL-1;t1/2 were(2.34±0.68)and(3.60±2.40)h;AUC0_t were(556.62±251.65)and(528.50±201.78)ng·mL-1·h;AUC0-∞ were(563.39±255.69)and(535.15±203.24)ng·mL-1·h;tmax were 3.65 and 6.99 h.After high-fat diet,the Cmax and AUC of rapeprazole sodium after high-fat and high-calorie diet decreased,Cmax decreased by 6.12％,AUC0-t decreased by 5.05％,AUC0-∞ decreased by 5.01％,andtmaxwas delayed by about 3.34 h.Cmax,AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ 90％confidence interval were 73.13％-115.10％,83.22％-112.28％and 83.40％-112.13％,respectively.Neither was between 85.00％-125.00％.Conclusion High-fat diet affects the absorption rate and degree of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated,so it is suitable to be administered on an empty stomach.

Progressive symmetric erythrokeratodermia(PSEK)is a rare hereditary skin disease charac-terized by symmetrical erythema,hyperkeratosis and multiorgan lesions.Its clinical phenotypes are highly heterogeneous and may be accompanied by symptoms such as thrombocytopenia,which can be fatal in se-vere cases.The genotype-phenotype association mechanism of PSEK is extremely complex.Currently,it is known that mutations in multiple genes such as GJB3,KDSR,and KRT83 can cause the disease.A-mong them,3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase(KDSR)has been found to harbor nearly 20 clinical mu-tations.These mutations interfere with the de novo ceramide synthesis pathway,disrupt the homeostasis of the skin barrier,and cause platelet production disorders and multi-organ lesions,making it a current research hotspot in the molecular mechanism of PSEK.The pathogenic mutations of KDSR are widely and uniformly distributed throughout the entire protein,rather than being limited to the traditionally recog-nized active center,suggesting that the impairment of the KDSR enzymatic activity is not the only cause of PSEK.In view of this,this study selected four typical mutants of KDSR(KDSRQG55-56R,KDSRn38C,KDSRY186F,KDSRG182S),and first used recombinant expression technology to prepare pure and homoge-neous mutant proteins.Subsequently,thermal stability experiments as well as oligomerization analysis were conducted on these four mutant proteins.The results showed that the Tm values of the four mutants were significantly lower than that of the wild type.Particularly,KDSRF138C and KDSRQG55-56R were nearly completely denatured at physiological temperature.This result was perfectly consistent with the further Rosetta energy analysis.In conclusion,this study took several pathological mutations of the PSEK patho-genic factor KDSR as the research object and discovered that the conformational stability of KDSR might be closely related to the occurrence of PSEK pathogenicity,indicating that the imbalance of conformation-al homeostasis is very likely to be one of the common contributing factors of many genetic diseases,inclu-ding PSEK.This provides a new theoretical basis and reference for explaining the molecular mechanism of genotype-phenotype heterogeneity in many genetic diseases.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of measured cardiac power output(CPO)of echocardiography for the prognosis of elderly patients with acute heart failure(AHF)in the vulnerable period of heart failure.Methods:A total of 120 elderly patients with AHF who admitted to the Third Hospital Affiliated to Shanxi Medical University from January 2021 to January 2024 were selected,and they were divided into the major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)group(18 cases)and the non-MACE group(102 cases)according to whether occurred MACE in the vulnerable period within 3 months after discharge.The baseline data of the two groups of patients were compared.Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of occurring MACE in the vulnerable period of patients,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of CPO for MACE in the vulnerable period of heart failure in elderly patients with AHF.Results:In the baseline data of patients,the total cholesterol,25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D],reserve CPO,resting CPO,and peak CPO in the MACE group were all lower than those in the non-MACE group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=5.987,2.236,2.921,2.390,4.569,P<0.05).The levels of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)in the MACE group were higher than those in the non-MACE group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=22.074,23.368,P<0.05).The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that the total cholesterol,25(OH)D,reserve CPO,resting CPO,and peak CPO were all influencing factors for the occurrence of MACE during the vulnerable period of heart failure in patients(OR=0.064,0.942,0.015,0.035,0.041,P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the efficacy of resting CPO and reserve CPO of the cardiac function indicators in predicting MACE of patients were slightly lower than that of peak CPO.The AUC,sensitivity and specificity of peak CPO in predicting MACE of patients were 0.752,92.2%and 55.6%,respectively.Conclusion:The lower peak CPO value of cardiac function indicator of echocardiography is independent risk factor for MACE during the vulnerable period of heart failure in elderly patients with AHF.Measuring CPO can identify potential poor prognosis populations in advance.

Objective: This study aims to explore the association between oral lichen planus (OLP) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and its anti-thyroid antibodies to provide clinical evidence for thyroid disease screening in patients with OLP. Methods: This study was approved by the institutional ethics committee. A total of 125 clinically and histopathologically confirmed patients with OLP were enrolled as the case group, and they were matched with 125 non-OLP controls based on sex and age. Demographic data (gender, age, lesion type, and disease duration) were collected from both groups. Serum levels of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) were measured to analyze their associations with sex, age, lesion type, and disease duration in patients with OLP. Result: The prevalence of HT in patients with OLP was 31.20%, significantly higher than that in the control group (9.60%) (χ2=18.504, P<0.001). The prevalence of HT in female patients with OLP (39.13%) was significantly higher than that in male patients (9.09%)（χ2=10.93，P<0.001）. The positivity rate of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) in patients with OLP (17.6%) was significantly higher than in the control group (4.0%) (χ2=10.989, P<0.001). The TPOAb positivity rate was significantly higher in female patients (22.83%) than in male patients (3.03%) (χ2=5.210, P=0.014). There was no statistically significant difference in the positivity rate of TgAb between patients with OLP (7.2%) and the control group (3.2%) (P>0.05). Patients with erosive lesions had a significantly higher TPOAb positivity rate (25.0%, 17/68) compared to those with non-erosive lesions (8.77%, 5/57), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.831, P=0.028). Logistic regression analysis revealed that female patients with OLP had an 8.935-fold higher risk of being TPOAb positive compared to males (OR=8.935, 95%CI: 1.134-70.388, P=0.038). Patients with erosive OLP lesions had a 3.199-fold higher risk of TPOAb positivity compared to those with non-erosive lesions (OR=3.199, 95%CI: 1.064-9.618, P=0.038). Conclusion The prevalence of HT is higher in patients with OLP, with higher positivity rates of anti-thyroid antibodies observed in female patients and those with erosive OLP lesions. This suggests that thyroid disease screening should be incorporated into the clinical management of patients with OLP, especially for women and patients who present with erosive lesions.
