Objective:This study investigated the expression level of phosphatidylserine-specific phospholipase A1(PLA1A)in colorectal can-cer(CRC)and analyzed its correlations with clinicopathological features,prognosis,and immune infiltration.Methods:The expression level of PLA1A in CRC was screened,and the influence of this expression level on patient prognosis was analyzed using bioinformatics methods.A cohort of 192 patients diagnosed with CRC at Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from January to December 2020 were selected.The PLA1A ex-pression level in those with CRC was determined using immunohistochemistry(IHC)and real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR(RT-qPCR).The relationship between PLA1A level and the clinicopathological features of the patients with CRC was analyzed using the chi-square test.The expression levels of immune cell markers CD4 and CD8 as well as immunosuppressive checkpoints PD-1,TIM-3,and CTLA-4 in CRC were detected via IHC,and their correlations with PLA1A level were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results:The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression level of PLA1A in CRC tissue was higher than paracancerous tissue,which correlated with overall surviv-al(OS)(P<0.05).The IHC and RT-qPCR results showed that PLA1A expression level was significantly upregulated in CRC tissiue(P<0.05).High PLA1A level was closely associated with the TNM stage,degree of differentiation,and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).The IHC results demonstrated that PLA1A positively correlated with the infiltrating CD8+T cell level(P<0.05).In addition,the elevated PLA1A levels upregu-lated the expressions of immunosuppressive checkpoints PD-1,TIM-3,and CTLA-4(P<0.05).Conclusions:PLA1A is highly expressed in CRC,which is closely related to immune infiltrating cells and immunosuppressive checkpoints,suggesting that PLA1A plays an important role in immune infiltration in CRC,a finding that provides guidance in the treatment of CRC.

In recent years, programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors, as representatives of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), have become an important advancement in the field of tumor therapy, significantly improving the survival and prognosis of tumor patients. However, immune-related adverse events associated with ICIs treatment pose challenges for clinical management. In particular, the emergence of active tuberculosis and reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection has attracted attention, and its mechanism may be closely related to the overactivation of the immune system and the changes of host-pathogen relationship. How to effectively predict and manage these adverse reactions has become a hot topic of current research.

Objective To analyze the clinical significance and predictive indicators of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)levels exceeding the upper limit of detection range in acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 669 pa-tients with AMI were enrolled and divided into two groups based on their peak NT-proBNP levels:exceeding the upper limit of detection range group(n=50)and detectable group(n=619).The two groups were matched using propensity score matching(1∶2).The clinical and laboratory indicators,coronary artery features,and in-hospital prognosis were compared,and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore early predictive indicators of NT-proBNP exceeding the upper limit of detection range.Results The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels,and fibrinogen levels were higher in the group with NT-proBNP levels exceeding the upper limit of detection range.These findings were consistent after propensity score matching.In terms of in-hospital prognosis,patients in the group with NT-proBNP levels exceeding the upper limit of detection range had a higher propor-tion of Killip class 2 or higher,longer hospital stays,lower left ventricular ejection fraction,and higher incidence of major adverse cardio-vascular and cerebrovascular events.These findings remained consistent after propensity score matching,but there was no statistically sig-nificant difference in peak myocardial enzyme levels between the two groups before and after propensity score matching.Multivariate Logis-tic regression analysis showed that early predictive indicators of NT-proBNP exceeding the upper limit of detection range included higher NLR,lower use of antiplatelet drugs,high fibrinogen levels,left anterior descending branch occlusion,and older age.After propensity score matching,the predictive indicators of NT-proBNP exceeding the upper limit of detection range were right coronary artery occlusion,high NLR,high fibrinogen levels,and left anterior descending branch occlusion.Conclusion AMI patients with NT-proBNP levels ex-ceeding the upper limit of detection range have poorer in-hospital prognosis.NLR and fibrinogen levels on admission can serve as early predictive indicators of NT-proBNP levels exceeding the upper limit of detection range.

Objective To observe the effect of in situ needle fenestration thoracic endovascular aortic repair(TEVAR)for treating aortic dissection(AD)involving aortic arch.Methods Data of 16 patients with AD involving aortic arch who underwent in situ needle fenestration TEVAR for reconstruction of aortic arch branches were retrospectively analyzed,and the number of fenestration,technical success rate and TEVAR related complications were recorded.Regular follow-up was conducted after TEVAR,the repair of dissection and the patency of fenestrated branch blood vessels were evaluated,the endoleak was assessed,and the survival of patients were recorded.Results The main aortic stent was successfully implanted in all 16 cases.Among them,4 received triple fenestration stent implantation in zones Z0,Z1 and Z2,6 received double fenestration stent implantation in zones Z1 and Z2,2 received double fenestration stent implantation in zones Z0 and Z1 and 4 received single fenestration stent implantation in zone Z2.The success rate of brachiocephalic trunk(BCT)fenestration was 83.33%(5/6).Left common carotid artery(LCCA)-right common carotid artery bypass was performed in 1 case without successful fenestration.The success rate of LCCA fenestration was 100%(12/12).The success rate of left subclavian artery(LSA)fenestration was 87.50%(14/16),2 cases with not successful fenestration were treated with axillar-axillary artery artificial vascular bypass.The technical success rate of intervention was 100%(16/16).Type Ⅰa endoleak occurred in 1 case during TEVAR process and improved after embolization with spring coil.One patient died of pericardial tamponade at the end of TEVAR.Fifteen patients were followed up for a median follow-up time of 20 months.During this period,transient ischemic attack and local small dissection at the proximal beginning of the main stent occurred each in 1 case,which improved after no special treatment.Type Ⅰ endoleak occurred in 1 case,type Ⅲ endoleak occurred in 2 cases,all improved after proximal fenestrated membrane stent implantation or spring coil embolization treatment.One case died of coronary heart disease.Conclusion In situ needle fenestration TEVAR was effective and safe for treating AD involving aortic arch.
