Objective To investigate the correlation mechanism between miR-153-3p and Nrf2 expression in human nucleus pulposus cells and intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD).Methods The oxidative damage model of nucleus pulposus cells was duplicated induced by H2O2.MiR-153-3p inhibitor-NC,si-NRF2-NC,miR-153-3p inhibitor,and si-NRF2 were transfected into nucleus pulposus cells according to the grouping require.The transfection efficiency was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The cell viability was determined by the CCK-8 assay,when the intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels and the ratio of mitochondrial membrane potential decline were measured by flow cytometry,RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of Nrf2,MMP-3,Col II,PINK1,Parkin,P62,and p38 MAPK.And dual luciferase reporter assay was used to measure luciferase activity.Results(1)HNPCs treated with H2O2 showed a decrease in HNPCs cell viability,a reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential,an increase in ROS levels,and a decrease in Col II expression(P<0.05).And the expression of MMP-3,P62,and p38 MAPK increased,while the expression of PINK1 and Parkin decreased.There was no significant change in Nrf2(P>0.05).(2)Inhibition of miR-153-3p expression in nucleus pulposus cells treated with H2O2 led to increased cell viability,elevated mitochondrial membrane potential,reduced ROS levels,and enhanced Col-II expression,accompanied by decreased expression of MMP-3,P62,and p38 MAPK,while simultaneously increasing the expression of PINK1,Parkin,and Nrf2(P<0.05).(3)When miR-153-3p expression was inhibited and Nrf2 expression was silenced in nucleus pulposus cells treated with H2O2,a notable decline in cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential was observed,along with a marked increase in ROS levels.Additionally,Col-II expression decreased,whereas the expression of MMP-3,P62,and p38 MAPK increased.However,the expression of Nrf2,PINK1,and Parkin decreased(P<0.05).(4)Dual-luciferase assay analysis revealed binding sites and a binding relationship between miR-153-3p and Nrf2,indicating a negative correlation between miR-153-3p and Nrf2(P<0.05).Conclusion Inhibition of miR-153-3p expression can alleviate H2O2 induced degeneration and fibrosis of nucleus pulposus cells,activate autophagy of damaged nucleus pulposus cells,and delay apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells.This effect is related to the PINK1/Parkin pathway and p38 MAPK inflammatory response pathway regulated by Nrf2.

BACKGROUND:We aimed to observe the dynamic changes in glucose metabolic reprogramming-related parameters and their ability to predict neurological prognosis and all-cause mortality in cardiac arrest patients after the restoration of spontaneous circulation(ROSC). METHODS:Adult cardiac arrest patients after ROSC who were admitted to the emergency or cardiac intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from August 1,2017,to May 30,2021,were enrolled.According to 28-day survival,the patients were divided into a non-survival group(n=82)and a survival group(n=38).Healthy adult volunteers(n=40)of similar ages and sexes were selected as controls.The serum levels of glucose metabolic reprogramming-related parameters(lactate dehydrogenase[LDH],lactate and pyruvate),neuron-specific enolase(NSE)and interleukin 6(IL-6)were measured on days 1,3,and 7 after ROSC.The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment(SOFA)score were calculated.The Cerebral Performance Category(CPC)score was recorded on day 28 after ROSC. RESULTS:Following ROSC,the serum LDH(607.0 U/L vs.286.5 U/L),lactate(5.0 mmol/L vs.2.0 mmol/L),pyruvate(178.0 μmol/L vs.70.9 μmol/L),and lactate/pyruvate ratio(34.1 vs.22.1)significantly increased and were higher in the non-survivors than in the survivors on admission(all P＜0.05).Moreover,the serum LDH,pyruvate,IL-6,APACHE Ⅱ score,and SOFA score on days 1,3 and 7 after ROSC were significantly associated with 28-day poor neurological prognosis and 28-day all-cause mortality(all P＜0.05).The serum LDH concentration on day 1 after ROSC had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)of 0.904[95％confidence interval[95％CI]:0.851-0.957])with 96.8％specificity for predicting 28-day neurological prognosis and an AUC of 0.950(95％CI:0.911-0.989)with 94.7％specificity for predicting 28-day all-cause mortality,which was the highest among the glucose metabolic reprogramming-related parameters tested. CONCLUSION:Serum parameters related to glucose metabolic reprogramming were significantly increased after ROSC.Increased serum LDH and pyruvate levels,and lactate/pyruvate ratio may be associated with 28-day poor neurological prognosis and all-cause mortality after ROSC,and the predictive efficacy of LDH during the first week was superior to others.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.
