OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of isorhamnetin on the development of gastric cancer through up-regulation of solute carrier family 25 member 25 antisense RNA 1(SLC25A25-AS1). METHODS Using BALB/c nude mice as the subjects, the xenograft tumor model was established by subcutaneously inoculating human gastric cancer MKN28 cells into the axillary region. The effects of low and high doses of isorhamnetin (20 and 40 mg/kg) on the tumor volume and mass in nude mice were investigated. MKN28 cells were selected and divided into control group, isorhamnetin group (70 μmol/L, similarly hereinafter), isorhamnetin+knocking down negative control group, isorhamnetin+knocking down SLC25A25-AS1 group, isorhamnetin+ overexpression negative control group and isorhamnetin+overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 group. Effects of knocking down/ overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 on viability, apoptosis, migration and invasion ability of isorhamnetin-treated cells were detected. After verifying the targeting relationships between microRNA-212-3p (miR-212-3p) and SLC25A25-AS1, as well as phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), the effects of knocking down/overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 on the expression of miR-212-3p, PTEN mRNA, and PTEN protein in isorhamnetin-treated cells were investigated. RESULTS Compared with the model control group, tumor volume and mass of nude mice in the isorhamnetin low-dose and high-dose groups were reduced significantly, and the isorhamnetin high-dose group was significantly lower than the isorhamnetin low-dose group (P<0.05). miR-212-3p had targeting relationships with SLC25A25-AS1 and PTEN. Compared with the control group, the cell viability (intervened for 24, 48 h), migration number, invasion number and miR-212-3p expression of cells in the isorhamnetin group, isorhamnetin+knocking down negative control group and isorhamnetin+overexpressing negative control group were significantly reduced or decreased or down-regulated, while the apoptosis rate, mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN were significantly increased or up-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with isorhamnetin group and isorhamnetin+knocking down negative control group, the cell viability, migration number, invasion number and miR-212-3p expression of cells in the isorhamnetin+knocking down SLC25A25-AS1 group were significantly increased or up- regulated, while the apoptosis rate, mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN were significantly reduced or down-regulated (P< 0.05). Compared with isorhamnetin group and isorhamnetin+overexpressing negative control group, the cell viability, migration number, invasion number and miR-212-3p expression of cells in isorhamnetin+overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 group were significantly reduced or decreased or down-regulated, while the apoptosis rate, PTEN mRNA and protein expressions were significantly increased or up-regulated (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Isorhamnetin may inhibit the development of gastric cancer by up-regulating the expression of SLC25A25-AS1, down-regulating miR-212-3p, and up-regulating the expression of PTEN, which is a downstream target of miR-212-3p.

Effectively assessing oxygen delivery and demand is one of the key targets for fluid resuscitation in sepsis. Clinical signs and symptoms, blood lactic acid levels, and mixed venous oxygen saturation (S O 2) or central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2) all have their limitations. In recent years, these limitations have been overcome through the use of derived indicators from carbon dioxide (CO 2) such as mixed veno-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (P -aCO 2, PCO 2 gap, or ΔPCO 2), the ratio of mixed veno-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference to arterial-mixed venous oxygen content difference (P -aCO 2/Ca- O 2). P -aCO 2, PCO 2 gap or ΔPCO 2 is not a purely anaerobic metabolism indicator as it is influenced by oxygen consumption. However, it reliably indicates whether blood flow is sufficient to carry CO 2 from peripheral tissues to the lungs for clearance, thus reflecting the adequacy of cardiac output and metabolism. The P -aCO 2/Ca- O 2 may serve as a marker of hypoxia. S O 2 and ScvO 2 represent venous oxygen saturation, reflecting tissue oxygen utilization. When oxygen delivery decreases but tissues still require more oxygen, oxygen extraction rate usually increases to meet tissue demands, resulting in decreased S O 2 and ScvO 2. But in some cases, even if the oxygen delivery rate and tissue utilization rate of oxygen are reduced, it may still lead to a decrease in S O 2 and ScvO 2. Sepsis is a classic example where tissue oxygen utilization decreases due to factors such as microcirculatory dysfunction, even when oxygen delivery is sufficient, leading to decrease in S O 2 and ScvO 2. Additionally, the solubility of CO 2 in plasma is approximately 20 times that of oxygen. Therefore, during sepsis or septic shock, derived variables of CO 2 may serve as sensitive markers for monitoring tissue perfusion and microcirculatory hemodynamics. Its main advantage over blood lactic acid is its ability to rapidly change and provide real-time monitoring of tissue hypoxia. This review aims to demonstrate the principles of CO 2-derived variables in sepsis, assess the available techniques for evaluating CO 2-derived variables during the sepsis process, and discuss their clinical relevance.

Objective:To explore the association between insulin resistance (IR) and new-onset hyperuricemia (HUA) in nurses.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 3 792 nurses from Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, who were surveyed from January to July in 2021. A total of 2 995 nurses who were successfully followed up in 2023 and met the inclusion criteria were selected for the study. The nurses were divided into four groups based on their quantiles (Q1 to Q4)for each indicator of insulin resistance (IR), including the triglyceride glucose (TyG), the triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), the triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol index (TG/HDL-C), and the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR): groups. The impact of each IR indicator on the risk of HUA was assessed by using Cox regression analysis, while the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was employed to evaluate and compare the predictive power of each indicator.Results:Of the 2 995 nurses, there were 65 males and 2 930 females, with a mean age of (33.19±6.67) years. During the follow-up period of 1.95 (1.87, 2.03) years, 152 new-onset HUA cases were identified, resulting in an incidence density of 26.02 per 1 000 person-years. After adjusting for various confounding factors, the Cox risk regression model analysis indicated that the hazard ratios (95% CI) for the risk of HUA in the highest quartile (Q4) compared to the lowest quartile (Q1) were as follows: 2.20(1.34, 3.63) for TyG, 4.95 (2.76, 8.90) for TyG-BMI, 3.24 (1.92, 5.45) for TG/HDL-C, and 6.15 (3.34, 11.33) for METS-IR. The areas under the ROC curves for TyG, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-C, and METS-IR levels in predicting the risk of HUA in nurses was 0.71, 0.73, 0.72, and 0.74, respectively. Conclusion:The IR is positively correlated with new-onset HUA in nurses, and each IR index demonstrates a certain predictive efficacy for risk of HUA.

ObjectiveTo explore the impact of autonomic nerve function on motor function in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD) from the perspective of regional homogeneity (ReHo). MethodsFrom January to December, 2020, a total of 60 inpatients and outpatients with cerebral infarction in the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were divided into control group (n = 30) and PSD group (n = 30). Two groups were assessed using Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Heart rate variability (HRV) was measured. Ten patients in each group were selected randomly to undergo resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to calculate ReHo. ResultsAll HRV indices were lower in PSD group than in the control group (|t| > 2.092, P < 0.05). In PSD group, FMA and MBI scores showed positive correlations with 24-hour standard deviation of normal-to-normal R-R intervals (SDNN), the root mean square of successive differences between normal heartbeats over 24 hours (RMSSD), the percentage of differences between adjacent normal R-R intervals over 24 hours that were greater than 50 ms (PNN50), total power (TP), very low frequency power (VLF) and low frequency power (LF) (r > 0.394, P < 0.05), and showed negative correlations with HAMD scores (|r| > 0.919, P < 0.001). HAMD scores in PSD group were negatively correlated with SDNN, RMSSD, PNN50, TP and VLF (|r| > 0.769, P < 0.001). Compared with the control group, the ReHo increased in PSD group in the right rectus gyrus (142 voxels, t = 6.575), the left medial and paracingulate gyri (204 voxels, t = 4.925) (GRF correction, P-Voxel < 0.005,P-Cluster < 0.05); and reduced in the right cerebellum (191 voxels, t = -6.487), the left middle temporal gyrus (140 voxels, t = -5.516), and the left precentral gyrus (119 voxels, t = -4.764) (GRF correction, P-Voxel < 0.005,P-Cluster < 0.05) in PSD group. ConclusionAutonomic nerve function is related to motor dysfunction in patients with PSD. The modulation of emotional, cognitive and motor brain regions by the autonomic nervous system may play a role in influencing the motor function in patients with PSD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Wenfei Huaxian Decoction (温肺化纤汤) in treatment of pulmonary fibrosis in systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). MethodsSixty C3H/He female rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, a pirfenidone group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction groups. The SSc-ILD model mice was established by subcutaneous injection of bleomycin solution 0.04 mg/d into the back of mice for 28 days in all groups but the control group. After successful modelling, the pirfenidone group was given pirfenidone capsule 300 mg/(kg·d) by gavage, the low-, medium- and high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction groups were given Wenfei Huaxian Decoction 7.81, 15.62, and 31.24 g/(kg·d) by gavage, respectively, and the control group as well as the model group were given normal saline 0.1 ml/10 g by gavage, for a total of 21 days. At the end of the intervention, HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes in the skin and lung tissues; the hydroxyproline content of the skin and lung tissues was detected; the protein expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins glucose-regulated protein 78 (BIP) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) as well as those of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway p65 were measured by western blot; ELISA was performed to determine the expression levels of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in serum of rats. ResultsThe results of HE and Masson staining indicated that compared with the control group, the dermis significantly thickened, the number of collagen fibers significantly enlarged, and the number of inflammatory cells significantly increased in the model group; the lung tissue showed a marked inflammatory cellular response with massive collagen fibre proliferation with inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the model group, the skin tissue and lung tissue collagen fibre proliferation significantly reduced and inflammatory cell infiltration reduced in the pirfenidone group and all dose groups of Wenfei Huaxian Decoction, and the effects of pirfenidone group and Wenfei Huaxian Decoction medium- and high-dose groups were basically comparable. Compared with the model group, the content of hydroxyproline in skin and lung tissue, the serum level of IFN-γ, IL-6 and TNF-α, and the expression levels of BIP and CHOP protein in lung tissue increased in model group (P<0.05). Compared with model group, the content of hydroxyproline in skin tissue of pirfenidone group, low-and medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction groups decreased, and the content of hydroxyproline in lung tissue of medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group decreased. The serum level of IFN-γ, IL-6, TNF-α and the expression levels of BIP, CHOP and p65 protein in lung tissue of rats in pirfenidone group and high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group decreased (P<0.05). The content of hydroxyproline in lung tissue of medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group was significantly lower than that of low-dose and high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group, and the serum level of IFN-γ, IL-6, TNF-α in low- and medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group were higher than those in high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group. The expression level of BIP protein in high-dose group was significantly lower than that in low- and medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction groups (P<0.05). ConclusionWenfei Huaxian Decoction can improve the skin and lung fibrosis of SSc-ILD rats, which may act through anti-inflammation, inhibition of NF-κB pathway, and then inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress, which ultimately blocked the fibrotic process.

Objective To analyze the research status and trend of scarlet fever literature in China, and to provide reference for subsequent research. Methods Three major Chinese databases, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP, as well as Web of Science English database, were used to search for literature related to scarlet fever from 2000 to 2023. Citespace6.2.R2 software was used to statistically analyze the number of publications, authors, institutions and journals, co-cited literature, keyword clustering, and other literature characteristics of the literature. Results From 2000 to 2023, a total of 1 011 Chinese literature were included in the three major Chinese databases. Since 2011, the number of publications had gradually increased, but in recent years, the number of publications had decreased. The organization with the most publications was the Shenyang Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The cluster analysis of key words mainly formed 9 cluster tags, and the high-frequency keywords mainly included epidemic characteristics, epidemiology, incidence rate, etc. A total of 84 English literature were included in the WOS database, with an overall upward trend in publication volume. The institution with the most publications was the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the most frequently cited journal was “LANCET INFECT DIS”.《Resurgence of scarlet fever in China: a 13-year population-based surveillance study》 was the most cited journal. After keyword cluster analysis, 9 cluster labels were mainly formed, and the keywords were mainly outbreak,Hong Kong, and Group A streptococcus. Conclusion Compared with the English literature, which mainly focuses on spatiotemporal aggregation, etiology and strain resistance, Chinese literature focuses more on epidemic surveillance, clinical features and quality nursing.
