Objective:To analyze the anatomical characteristics and surgical management measures of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (AAD) involving coronary arteries, and to preliminarily explore the clinical efficacy of different coronary artery treatment techniques.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 42 patients who underwent surgery for AAD involving coronary arteries in Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2022 to May 2025. They were divided into the MI group (14 cases) and the nMI group (28 cases) according to whether they had acute myocardial infarction before surgery. The clinical data such as the actual surgical methods and mortality in the two groups were summarized.Results:Among 294 surgeries, 42 cases (14.3%) had definite coronary artery involvement, including 14 cases in the MI group and 28 cases in the nMI group; 1 case had bilateral coronary artery involvement and 41 cases had right coronary artery involvement. Regarding injury types: 16 cases were of the coronary trunk compression type, 12 cases were of the sinus intimal tear neal to ostium type, and 14 cases were of the coronary trunk intimal type. There was no statistically significant difference in the types of coronary artery involvement between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were 18 cases of Sun′s procedure with preserved aortic sinus and aortic valve, 7 cases of Bentall procedure without bypass, and 17 cases of Bentall procedure plus bypass. There was no statistically significant difference in the surgical plans between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were 4 deaths within 30 days (2 cases in each group). Conclusions:AAD involving coronary arteries is a critical condition, and accurate diagnosis is somewhat difficult. Myocardial ischemia is not significantly associated with the type of coronary artery involvement. The surgical plan depends on the type of coronary artery involvement. The classification method in this study is conducive to selecting appropriate surgical methods and improving surgical prognosis.

BACKGROUND:Titanium implants are widely used in clinical practice because of their high strength and good biocompatibility.However,during implantation,bacterial infection and tissue damage environment produce a large number of reactive oxygen species,which can easily lead to delayed tissue healing and surgical failure.Consequently,the development of titanium implants with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties becomes paramount. OBJECTIVE:Considering the potent antimicrobial attributes of copper ions and the remarkable antioxidant qualities of polyphenols,we proposed the fabrication of polyphenol-mediated copper ion coatings on titanium surfaces.These coatings were subsequently assessed for their in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. METHODS:Nanostructures were generated on the titanium surface using the alkali thermal method.The titanium was immersed in a solution containing tannic acid and copper ions to achieve polyphenol-mediated copper ion coatings.The surface morphology and water contact angle were detected.The loading and release of copper ions were examined using atomic absorption spectroscopy.Staphylococcus aureus was inoculated on the surface of pure titanium sheet(blank group),alkali heat treated titanium sheet(control group),and polyphenol mediated copper ion modified titanium sheet(experimental group)to observe the bacterial survival status.Osteoblast precursor cells MC3T3-E1 were co-cultivated on the surface of three groups of titanium sheets to assess their antioxidant properties and bioactivity. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scanning electron microscopy showed that the polyphenol-mediated copper ion modified titanium sheet had rod-like nanostructures and no cracks on the surface.The surface hydrophilicity of copper ion modified titanium sheet mediated by polyphenol was close to that of pure titanium sheet.Atomic absorption spectrometry results showed a 51%increase in the loading capacity of copper ions after polyphenol mediation,with a uniform release of copper ions.(2)The antibacterial rates of titanium sheets in the blank group,control group,and experimental group were 0%,21.65%,and 93.75%,respectively.The live/dead staining and CTC staining showed that the live bacteria on the surface of titanium plates in the blank group were the most,and the live bacteria on the surface of titanium plates in the experimental group were the least.(3)The results of live/dead staining and CCK-8 assay showed that the three groups of titanium sheets had good cytocompatibility,and the titanium sheets in the experimental group were more conducive to the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells.Active oxygen fluorescence probe detection exhibited that compared with the other two groups,the fluorescence intensity of active oxygen on the surface of the experimental group was significantly reduced.The results of alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red S staining showed that the osteogenic differentiation and extracellular matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells on the surface of titanium sheets in the experimental group were stronger than those in the other two groups.(4)These results show that the polyphenol-mediated copper ion coating has strong antibacterial and antioxidant properties and promotes osteogenic differentiation.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies found that Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract prolongs slow-wave sleep and promotes growth hormone secretion in mice by increasing the expression of brain tissue serotonin 1A receptor (5-HT1AR),which binds to serotonin,thus leading to bone growth. Serotonin 1A receptor acts as a protein,and its expression abundance is regulated by miRNAs. The authors hypothesized that Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract may regulate the expression of 5-HT1AR through miRNAs and thus exert drug effects. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract on bone growth by regulating the miR-7b-3p/5-HT1AR pathway in mouse brain tissue. METHODS:(1) Kunming mice were divided into a normal control group,a drug administration group (gavage administration of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract 0.320 mg/g),a positive control group (gavage administration of jujuboside 0.013 mg/g),a Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract+5-HT1AR selective inhibitor group (8 μg of P-MPPF,a 5-HTIAR selective inhibitor,was injected into the lateral ventricle every day for the last 3 days during the gavage administration of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract). After 25 days,the effects of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract on bone growth,serum growth hormone level and brain 5-HT1AR expression were observed. (2) Then the chip method was used to observe differentially expressed miRNAs in the brain tissues of growing mice and ordinary mice. PCR validation and dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed the regulatory relationship between the screened Mir-7B-3p and 5-HT1AR. (3) Mouse cerebral cortical cells were cultured and identified in vitro,and the effect of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract on 5-HT1AR expression in cerebral cortical cells was observed using western blot. (4) Kunming mice were divided into a normal control group,a medication group,a miR-7b-3p inhibitor group,a medication+5-HT1AR inhibitor group,and a positive control group. The expression of 5-HT1AR in brain tissues of mice and the binding activity of 5-HT and 5-HT1AR were observed. (5) Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a normal control group,a medication group,a miR-7b-3p inhibitor group,a medication+miR-7b-3p mimics group and a positive control group. Changes in slow wave sleep in mice were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract could promote the growth of body length and tibia,growth hormone secretion,and brain tissue 5-HT1AR level in mice. (2) The number of differentially expressed miRNAs screened by GeneChip was 16,of which 13 were up-regulated and 3 were down-regulated. Bioinformatics results predicted that down-regulation of miR-7b-3p could regulate 5-HT1AR expression,and dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments confirmed a direct regulatory relationship between the two. (3) Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract and silencing of miR-7b-3p expression in cerebral cortical cells could cause high expression of 5-HT1AR. After silencing of miR-7b-3p,5-HT1AR expression,binding activity of serotonin and 5-HT1AR and growth hormone secretion in mouse brain tissue were all elevated. After overexpression of miR-7b-3p,5-HT1AR expression,binding activity of serotonin and 5-HT1AR and growth hormone secretion were all reduced. Accordingly,the slow-wave sleep period in mice was also prolonged or shortened. To conclude,Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract can reduce the level of miR-7b-3p and increase the expression of 5-HT1AR in brain tissue to prolong slow wave sleep and promote the secretion of growth hormone,thereby playing a postive effect on bone growth. These findings provide a scientific basis for the use of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract as a potential measure to promote bone growth.

This study aims to understand the epidemic distribution characteristics,antimicrobial resistance,virulence genes,and biofilm adhesion ability of Enterococcus in yaks on the Tibetan plateau.Three hundred and forty-six fresh yak fecal samples and 311 milk samples were collected from four provinces on the Tibetan plateau(Xizang,Sichuan,Gansu,Qinghai),totaling 657 sam-ples.Bacterial isolation and identification were conducted,followed by 16S rDNA gene detection and the construction of a systematic evolutionary tree.The isolated strains were tested for antimi-crobial resistance and virulence genes using PCR,and sensitivity tests were performed using 18 types of antibiotics.The biofilm adhesion ability of the isolated bacteria was determined using an improved semi-quantitative crystal violet staining method.The results showed that the total isola-tion rate of Enterococcus was 32.27％,with Sichuan having the highest at 60.23％,followed by Gansu,Qinghai,and Tibet autonomous region at 42.70％,23.47％,and 18.31％respectively.In terms of sample types,the isolation rate in fecal samples was 36.71％,and in milk samples,it was 27.33％.Through PCR amplification,bands of approximately 1 400 bp were obtained,and 5 strains were selected for evolutionary analysis,forming a separate cluster.Among the 212 isolated strains,a high resistance to clindamycin,quinupristin-dalfopristin,linezolid,levofloxacin,and erythromycin was observed,with various resistance phenomena,accounting for 60.85％.Only 5 out of 12 resist-ant genes were detected,namely erm(B),tet(L),tet(O),tet(M),and ant(6)-Ia.All 13 virulence genes were detected in Enterococcus,with detection rates in the range of 5.19％to 95.76％,where cpd was 95.75％,gelE was 91.98％,efaA was 86.79％,asal was 86.32％,and the rest ranged from 5.19％to 55.66％.The fsr virulence gene was not detected in Enterococcus from milk sources.Among the isolated strains,3.30％showed medium adhesive ability,48.58％showed weak adhesive ability,and 48.11％showed no adhesive ability.The above research revealed the preva-lence of yak derived Enterococcus,the carrying status of resistance and virulence genes,and the correlation between biofilm phenotypes,laying the foundation for mastering research data on yak-derived Enterococcus in the Tibetan plateau.

Objective:To design a new type of intelligent power-assisted hip disarticulation prosthesis and to use experiments to verify its kinematic performance.Methods:The main body of the prosthesis was designed using a double parallel four-link configuration based on a remote motion center mechanism. A series elastic actuator was used to provide external power for the prosthesis, and an antagonistic torsion spring structure was used to achieve bidirectional energy storage assistance in hip flexion and extension. A control system based on impedance control was established. By setting up an auxiliary force field to compensate for the difference between the actual angle of the prosthesis and the target angle, the prosthesis assist function was realized. Finally, the traditional hip disarticulation prosthesis was used as a comparison to test the overall performance of the new intelligent power-assisted hip disarticulation prosthesis worn by normal people.Results:For the new smart-assisted hip-disarticulation prosthesis, the goodness-of-fit of its hip joint angle curve to that of a normal person was 86%, which was 14% higher than that of the traditional hip-disarticulation prosthesis (72%). The goodness-of-fit of the healthy-side angle of the new smart-assisted hip disarticulation prosthesis to the normal human was 94%, which was the same as that of the traditional hip disarticulation prosthesis.Conclusions:A new type of intelligent power-assisted hip disarticulation prosthesis is designed to realize the function of prosthesis-assisted movement.
