Objective To explore the predictive value of fat attenuation index(FAI)and fibrous plaque index(FPI)for the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 334 ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University and Yongchuan Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from March 2021 to July 2023.All patients received coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)to measure FAI and FPI.According to the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)with 1 year of follow-up,they were divided into MACE group(n=108)and non-MACE group(n=226).The baseline data,CCTA data and results of laboratory tests were collected and compared between the 2 groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship of FAI and FPI with the prognosis of ACS patients,and ROC curve was drawn to evaluate its predictive efficiency.Results Among the 334 ACS patients,108(32.34%)experienced MACE.When compared with the non-MACE group,the MACE group exhibited significantly larger proportions of diabetes(72.22%vs 31.86%)and left main coronary artery disease(18.52%vs 7.08%),but lower success rate of operation(79.63%vs 93.81%,P<0.05).Radiologic results showed that the proportion of severe stenosis(20.37%vs 10.62%),FAI(-80.12±6.41 HU vs-72.34±7.09 HU)and FPI(0.58±0.41 vs 0.26±0.12)were obviously increased in the MACE group than the non-MACE group(P<0.05).Laboratory tests indicated that there were statistical differences between the 2 groups in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C,1.20±0.15 vs 1.09±0.16 mmol/L),miR-126(0.91±0.12 vs 0.96±0.15)and SST2(38.45±5.67 vs 34.30±4.89 ng/mL,P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that FAI(OR=1.200,95%CI:1.136～1.268),FPI(OR=63.157,95%CI:14.126～282.374),moderate stenosis(OR=1.332,95%CI:1.024～1.859),severe stenosis(OR=1.480,95%CI:1.074～2.039),miR-126(OR=0.007,95%CI:0.001～0.077),and sST2(OR=1.192,95%CI:1.113～1.277)were independent predictors of MACE(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis displayed that stenosis degree(AUC=0.622,95%CI:0.561～0.683,P=0.001),FAI(AUC=0.790,95%CI:0.741～0.839,P=0.001)and FPI(AUC=0.700,95%CI:0.638～0.761,P=0.001),miR-126(AUC=0.646,95%CI:0.584～0.707,P=0.001),sST2(AUC=0.700,95%CI:0.638～0.761,P=0.001)had certain predictive values for ACS prognosis.Conclusion Coronary FAI and FPI can be used as independent prognostic indicators of ACS patients,and their numerical changes are closely related to plaque stability and inflammatory state.

Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of long non-coding RNA RMRP(LncRNA RMRP) on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion(OGD/R)-induced ferroptosis in mouse HL-1 cardiomyocytes by regulating miR-766-5p. Methods: HL-1 cells were cultured in vitro, and OGD/R models were established. The expression levels of LncRNA RMRP in HL-1 cells at various reperfusion time points were subsequently quantified using qRT-PCR. The LncRNA RMRP small RNA interference fragment(si-RMRP) and its corresponding negative control(si-NC), as well as the miR-766-5p inhibitor and its respective negative control(inhibitor-NC), were transfected into HL-1 cells. Subsequently, the cells were subjected to OGD/R treatment. CCK-8 assay was employed to evaluate cell viability. Assay kits were employed to measure the levels of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) in the cell supernatant, as well as the intracellular levels of malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione(GSH), and ferrous ion(Fe2+). qRT-PCR analysis was conducted to assess the expression levels of LncRNA RMRP and miR-766-5p. Western blot analysis was conducted to assess the expression levels of proteins associated with ferroptosis including GPX4, SLC7A11, and FTH1. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to investigate the sponge adsorption relationship between LncRNA RMRP and miR-766-5p. Results: As reperfusion time extended, the expression level of LncRNA RMRP in cells progressively increased(P2+ levels within the cells, and decreased the activities of SOD and GSH in cells(P2+ levels within the cells, and promoting SOD and GSH activities in cells(PP < 0. 01) . Furthermore , silencing LncRNA RMRP upregulated the protein expression levels of GPX4 , SLC7A11 , and FTH1(P < 0. 01) . The dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that LncRNA RMRP could regulate the expression of miR-766- 5p through a sponge adsorption mechanism. Partial inhibition of miR-766-5p inhibitor expression could mitigate the improvement effect caused by LncRNA RMRP silencing on OGD/R-induced ferroptosis in HL-1 cells. Conclusion Silencing LncRNA RMRP inhibits OGD/R-induced ferroptosis in HL-1 cells , potentially through the sponge-mediated regulation of miR-766-5p expression.

ObjectiveTo observe the intervention effect of Huaiqihuang granules （HQH） on immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis （IgAVN） mice and explore the underlying therapeutic mechanism. MethodFifty SPF-grade male Kunming mice were randomly divided into a normal group， an IgAVN model group， a dexamethasone group （2.5 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， a low-dose HQH group （4 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and a high-dose HQH group （8 g·kg^-1·d^-1）. The mouse model was established using oral administration of gliadin combined with intravenous injection of India ink. After successful modeling， the mice were euthanized after 4 weeks of gastric gavage according to groups. The 24 h urinary total protein （24 h UTP）， urine β₂-microglobulin （β₂-MG）， serum total protein， albumin， IgA， etc. were detected in each group. Flow cytometry was used to determine the proportion of T helper 17 （Th17） cells in spleen cell suspension. Western blot was employed to detect the expression of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase α （AMPKα）， phosphorylated AMPKα （p-AMPKα）， acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 （ACC1）， and phosphorylated ACC1 （p-ACC1） in Th17 cells. Pathological changes in the spleen and kidneys were observed. ResultCompared with the normal group， the IgAVN model group showed significant increases in 24 h UTP， urine β₂-MG， total cholesterol （P<0.05）， serum interleukin-17 （IL-17）， IgA， Th17 proportion in the spleen cell suspension， and IL-17 expression in the spleen tissue （P<0.01）， and significantly decreased serum total protein， albumin， p-AMPKα/AMPKα， and p-ACC1/ACC1 expression of Th17 cells （P<0.01）. Compared with the IgAVN model group， in the 4th week， the 24 h UTP， urine β₂-MG， serum IL-17， IgA levels， and renal IgA deposition were significantly reduced in each treatment group （P<0.01）， and the Th17 proportion and IL-17 expression in spleen tissue were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum albumin levels significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the IgAVN model group， the dexamethasone group and the high-dose HQH group showed increases in serum total protein （P<0.01）， p-AMPKα/AMPKα， and p-ACC1/ACC1 expression of Th17 cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The high-dose HQH group showed a significant decrease in total cholesterol level （P<0.05）. Various treatment groups showed different degrees of improvement in spleen and kidney pathological changes. ConclusionHQH may affect Th17 cell differentiation by regulating the AMPK/ACC pathway， correcting immune inflammatory disorders， and exerting therapeutic effects on IgAVN.

Objective:To explore the threshold of tidal breathing nasal nitric oxide (TB-nNO) in diagnosing primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) in children aged 3 to 5 years.Methods:Retrospective study.The TB-nNO values were examined of 165 healthy children aged 3-5 in a kindergarten in Xicheng District, Beijing, from March 27 to March 29, 2018, which were also measured in children aged 3-5 years who were diagnosed as PCD, cystic fibrosis, bronchiolitis obliterans, bronchiectasis caused by other diseases and asthma in the Second Department of Pediatric Pneumology, Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021.Relevant factors associated with TB-nNO in normal children were screened by a multiple linear regression model.The cut-off value of TB-nNO in diagnosing PCD in preschool children aged 3-5 years was determined by calculating the maximum area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:TB-nNO value in healthy children aged 3, 4 and 5 years were (94.8±36.4) nL/min, (103.3±50.7) nL/min and (106.9±61.5) nL/min, respectively.The mean TB-nNO value in 9 children with PCD was (18.9±10.8) nL/min.TB-nNO values in 49 children with asthma, 19 children with bronchiolitis obliterans, 17 children with bronchiectasis and 6 children with cystic fibrosis were (97.7±51.1) nL/min, (93.2±49.2) nL/min, (93.7±75.3) nL/min and (45.4±18.2) nL/min, respectively.Using 30 nL/min of TB-nNO as the cut-off point, the sensitivity and specificity of TB-nNO in diagnosing PCD were 88.9% (8/9) and 96.9%, respectively.The area under the ROC curve was 98.3% (95% CI: 95.3%-100.0%). Conclusions:TB-nNO value of 30 nL/min can be used as the cut-off point in the diagnosis screening of PCD in children aged 3-5 years.Its diagnostic value in this age group should be further evaluated.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of new oral anticoagulants(NOACs)rivaroxaban and dabigatran versus warfarin in the treatment of the patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation combined with diabetes mellitus.Methods A retrospective study was performed on 119 cases of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation combined with diabetes mellitus from outpatient and inpatient of the Ninth People's Hospital of Suzhou City from Jan 2019 to June 2021.According to the use of anticoagulants,patients were divided into rivaroxaban 10 mg group(Group A,n=25),rivaroxaban 15 mg group(Group B,n=30),dabigatran group(Group C,n=29),and warfarin group(Group D,n=35).All patients were treated continuously for at least 6 months.The incidence of embolism and bleeding events,the changes of coagulation indicator,blood glucose,liver and kidney function indexes were compared before and after treatment among the four groups.Results Thromboembolic events:1 cases(4.00%)of stoke or thromboembolic events occurred in Group A;2 cases(6.67%)occurred in Group B;2 cases(6.90%)occurred in Group C,and 5 cases(14.28%)occurred in Group D.Bleeding events:1 cases(4.00%)of bleeding events occurred in Group A;1 cases(3.33%)occurred in Group B;2 cases(6.90%)occurred in Group C,and 8 cases(22.85%)occurred in Group D.There was no statistically significant difference among the four groups of stoke or thromboembolic events(P>0.05).The incidence of bleeding events in Group A and B were both statistically lower than Group D(P<0.05),and the risk of bleeding events of Group C was similar to Group D(P>0.05)and there was also no statistically significant difference among Group A,B and C(P>0.05).The activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)of all patients was significantly prolonged after treatment compared with before treatment(P<0.05),but none of them exceeded the upper limit of the normal value by 2 times.The APTT and international normalized ratio(INR)values of Group A and B,INR values of Group C were all statistically better than those of Group D(P<0.05)after the treatment.There were no statistically significant difference in the comparison of blood glucose,liver and kidney function index as well(P>0.05).Conclusion The new oral anticoagulants rivaroxaban and dabigatran showed similar effects in prevention of stroke or thromboembolic events,but better safety profiles with lower risks of bleeding events compared to warfarin in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation combined with diabetes mellitus.Dabigatran is comparable in efficacy and safety when compared with rivaroxaban and deserves to be promoted for clinical use.

Objective:To explore the expression features of cytochrome C oxidase subunit Ⅰ (MT-CO1), BCL2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) and interleukin (IL)-1β in the liver of MRL/lpr lupus mice.Methods:The mRNA and protein levels of MT-CO1, BNIP3, IL-1β, p16 and p21 in lupus mice and control mice were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot, the IL-1β expression site were detected by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemical method, and themalondialdehyde (MDA) was detected by colorimetry. Hepatocytes and macrophages were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), while hepatocytes were also cultured with supernatants obtained after macrophages stimulated with LPS, and the mRNA and protein levels of MT-CO1, BNIP3 and LC3B, as well as p16 and p21 expression, were determined by qPCR and Western blot. The expression of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) was detected by immunofluorescence. One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the mean of each group, and LSD method was used to compare the means of multiple samples, and Tamhane's T2 method was used to compare the means of multiple samples when the variance was uniform. Results:The results of PCR showed that the mRNA levels of MT-CO1 and BNIP3 in the liver tissue of the lupus group (0.14±0.04; 0.16±0.05) were significantly lower than those of the control group (0.11±0.04; 0.16±0.06), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=7.16, P<0.001; t=4.54, P<0.001). The expression levels of IL-1β, p16 and p21 in the lupus group (2.06±0.69; 0.37±0.14; 0.16±0.06) were significantly higher than those of the control group (0.23±0.06; 0.25±0.08; 0.11±0.04) ( t=9.58, P<0.001; t=24.35, P<0.001; t=22.36, P<0.001). The results of Western blot were consistent with those of PCR. HE staining showed lymphocyte infiltration in the liver tissue of lupus mice, and immunohistochemistry showed IL-1β in the liver tissue of lupus mice. The positive cells were mainly concentrated in the sinusoids, and the expression of hepatic parenchymal cells was not rearkable. The content of MDA in liver tissue of the lupus group (0.19±0.10) was higher than that of the control group (0.17±0.09), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.33, P=0.005). LPS directly stimulated AML12 hepatocytes (0.069±0.028; 0.17±0.07). The PCR results showed that compared with the control group (0.176±0.072; 0.08±0.03), the expression of MT-CO1, and BNIP3 were not significantly different ( t=1.01, P=0.337; t=0.88, P=0.399). The expression of IL-1β was significantly higher when incubated with the supernatants of LPS stimulated macrophages (0.28±0.09) compared than that of the control group (0.15±0.05) ( t=28.26, P<0.001). The results of PCR showed that the mRNA levels of MT-CO1 and BNIP3 in the LPS stimulated group (0.046±0.026; 0.17±0.05) were significantly lower than those in the control group (0.143±0.083; 0.18±0.06), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=7.52, P<0.001; t=4.24, P<0.001), The expression of p16 and p21 in LPS stimulated group (0.29±0.09; 0.27±0.09) were significantly higher than those in the control group (0.18±0.06; 0.22±0.07) ( t=13.54, P<0.001; t=8.69, P<0.001). The results of Western blot were consistent with those of PCR. Immunofluorescence showed that the fluorescence intensity of mtROS in LPS stimulated group (0.25±0.10) was higher than that in the control group (0.08±0.03), and the difference was statistically significant ( t= 4.86, P<0.001). Conclusion:Immune-mediated inflammation in the liver tissue of lupus mice can stimulate liver parenchymal cells to cause intracellular mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the mechanism of liver organ damage in lupus mice is not limited to the immune-mediated inflammation of immune active cells, but also include parenchymal cell mitochondrial dysfunction.

Objective To evaluate the effect of chidamide combined with matrine on proliferation and apoptosis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) cell lines HH and Hut78,and to explore their apoptotic mechanisms.Methods Both HH and Hut78 cells were treated with 0.4 μmol/L chidamide and 0.6 g/L matrine alone or in combination for 24,48 and 72 hours,with those treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) serving as control groups.MTS assay was performed to deteet cellular proliferation rates of HH and Hut78 cells at each time point.After 48-hour treatment,flow cytometry was conducted to detect cell apoptosis,and Western blot analysis to determine expression of apoptosis-related proteins in these cells.Statistical analysis was carried out by using repeated measures analysis of variance,one-way analysis of variance,and least significant difference (LSD)-t test for multiple comparisons.Results Compared with DMSO,chidamide and matrine alone or in combination could inhibit the proliferation of HH and Hut78cells to different extents (F =15.88,558.26,P ＜ 0.05,＜ 0.001,respectively).At 48 hours,the apoptosis rate in Hut78 cells was significantly higher in the matrine group (20.98％ ± 1.53％),chidamide group (22.44％ ± 7.74％) and combination group (44.53％ ± 1.85％) than in the control group (8.42％ ± 4.23％;LSD-t =4.76,5.31,13.69 respectively,all P ＜ 0.05),as well as in the combination group than in the matrine group and chidamide group (LSD-t =8.93,8.37 respectively,both P ＜ 0.01);no significant differences were observed in the apoptosis rate of HH cells between the matrine group (13.98％ ± 3.86％)or chidamide group (13.61％ ± 1.62％) and control group (11.44％ ± 1.43％,both P ＞ 0.05),while the combination group (20.94％ ± 0.64％) showed a significantly higher apoptosis rate compared with the control group,matrine group and chidamide group (LSD-t =7.37,5.40,5.69 respectively,all P ＜ 0.05).In the case of HH cells,the combination group showed significantly higher cleaved caspase-3 expression (all P ＜ 0.05),but significantly lower protein expression of E-cadherin,nuclear factor (NF)-κB,phosphorylated-Bad (p-Bad) and Bcl-2 compared with the other 3 groups (all P ＜ 0.05).In the case of Hut78 cells,the expression of E-cadherin,NF-κB,p-Bad and Bcl-2 was significantly lower in the matrine group,chidamide group and combination group than in the control group (all P ＜ 0.05),while cleaved caspase-3 expression was significantly higher in the chidamide group and combination group than in the control group (both P ＜0.05).No matter in HH cells or in Hut78 cells,there were no significant differences in Bad protein expression between the 4 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Chidamide in combination with matrine can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of HH and Hut78 cells,likely by regulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins E-cadherin,NF-κB,p-Bad,Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between peritoneal thickness and baseline solute transport function in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and analyze the factors affecting the function of peritoneal transport.Methods:Non-diabetic end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients admitted to the Second Hospital of Longyan City from January 2017 to June 2019 were enrolled in this study. The thickness of the peritoneal membrane was measured by color ultrasound instrument before the peritoneal catheterization. Standard peritoneal equilibration test (PET) was performed after one month of peritoneal dialysis. The ratio of corrected creatine in 4 h dialysate to 2 h serum creatine (D/Pcr) was used as a solute baseline transport index, and according to the D/Pcr evaluation results, the patients were divided into high/high average transfer (H) group (D/Pcr≥0.65) and low/low average transfer (L) group (D/Pcr<0.65). The clinical data, peritoneal thickness and peritoneal dialysis related indicators between the two groups of patients were compared. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the function of peritoneal transport.Results:The amount of peritoneal ultrafiltration in H group was significantly lower than that in L group, intraperitoneal creatinine clearance (Ccr) and peritoneal thickness were significantly higher than those in L group (both P<0.05). Pearson and Spearman correlation results showed that the thickness of peritoneal membrane positively correlated with D/Pcr ( r=0.673, P<0.05), peritoneal Ccr ( r=0.261, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with ultrafiltration of peritoneal dialysis ( r=-0.365, P<0.05). Partial correlation analysis showed that the peritoneal thickness was positively correlated with the solute transport index D/Pcr ( r=0.539, P<0.05) and the peritoneal Ccr ( r=0.338, P<0.05). Binary logistic regression results showed that peritoneal thickening was a risk factor affecting peritoneal transport function ( OR=1.175, 95% CI 1.009-1.369, P<0.05). Conclusions:There is a positive correlation between the peritoneal membrane thickness and the baseline solute transport index in patients with non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal thickening is a risk factor affecting peritoneal transport function.
