Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-508-3p(miR-508-3p)in epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)tissue,its impact on the migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells,and its regulatory relationship with zinc-finger E-box-binding homeobox 1(ZEB1).Methods The surgical resection of EOC cancer tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues were collected.SKOV3 cells were divided into the NC mimic group(transfected with NC mimic),miR-508-3p mimic group(transfected with miR-508-3p mimic),si-NC group(transfected with si-NC),si-ZEB1 group(transfected with si-ZEB1)and co-transfection group(co-transfected with si-ZEB1 and miR-508-3p mimic).The mRNA expression levels of miR-508-3p and ZEB1 in EOC cancer tissues,adjacent normal tissues and five groups of cells were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The Transwell assay was used to detect the cell migration and invasion abilities.Results The relative expression levels of miR-508-3p in EOC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were 0.77±0.36 and 1.07±0.40,the relative expression levels of ZEB1 mRNA in EOC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were 2.10±1.21 and 1.29±0.95,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.01).The migration cell number of the NC mimic,miR-508-3p mimic,si-NC,si-ZEB1 and co-transfection groups was 633.00±32.49,319.20±19.89,650.40±25.85,375.00±17.25 and 129.40±17.10;the invasion cell number was 527.20±25.01,288.60±16.68,520.00±25.83,293.40±18.37 and 76.60±8.76;the relative expression levels of miR-508-3p were 1.05±0.37,3.94±1.21,1.01±0.21,1.26±0.34 and 3.40±0.41;the relative expression levels of ZEB1 mRNA were 1.00±0.04,0.58±0.05,1.00±0.08,0.54±0.07 and 0.29±0.03,respectively.The above indicators showed statistically significant differences between the miR-508-3p mimic group and the NC mimic group,between the si-NC group and the co-transfection group(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusion MiR-508-3p is lowly expressed in EOC cancer tissue,and it may inhibit the migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells by targeting ZEB1 expression.

Persistent atrial fibrillation and other factors can cause mitral and tricuspid annular dilation and leaflet regurgitation,leading to severe functional mitral and tricuspid regurgitation.Patients often experience significant heart failure symptoms and poor prognosis.For patients with severe mitral or tricuspid regurgitation who are at high risk or contraindicated for surgical procedures,transbronchial repair(TEER)is an important alternative therapy that can effectively reduce valve regurgitation and improve cardiac function;Although there is a lack of large-scale data on atrial functional reflux,existing experience still shows that TEER can significantly reduce reflux and improve patients'quality of life.However,double valve intervention therapy poses challenges,especially when combined with TEER repair,which is technically more complex,time-consuming,and carries higher risks.Foreign data shows that simultaneous or staged double valve intervention can safely improve cardiac function and increase survival rates,but the optimal intervention strategy still needs further research.Due to the fact that tricuspid TEER devices have not yet been launched in China,only staged treatment can be adopted at present.This case report shows a patient with severe atrial functional mitral and tricuspid regurgitation who underwent staged transcatheter edge to edge repair surgery successfully.During a 1-year follow-up,bilateral valve regurgitation continued to improve,indicating that staged repair of bilateral atrioventricular valve regurgitation through the catheter margin is a feasible and effective treatment option.

Objective To systematically evaluate the influencing factors for pulmonary infection after cardiac sur-gery.Methods Literatures were retrieved from PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,the Cochrane Library,CBM,Wanfang,CNKI and VIP databases.The retrieval time was from the establishment of databases to November 22,2022.Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.4 and Stata 15.0 softwares.Results A total of 20 literatures were included in the analysis.Meta-analysis showed that age(≥65 years),mechanical ventilation time(≥5 days),smoking,acute renal damage,perioperative blood transfusion,operation time(≥240 minutes),secondary thora-cotomy,and oxygenation index(PaO2/FiO2≤300 mmHg)were risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infection.Conclusion The existing evidence shows that all of the above 8 factors are risk factors for pulmonary infection after cardiac surgery,which can provide a theoretical basis for health care workers to prevent and treat infection.

Objective To explore the relevant risk factors of H.pylori infection,and provide reference for prevention and treatment of H.pylori in this area,and further provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.Methods A total of 1200 residents in four districts of Haikou city were investigated by questionnaire and urea 14 C breath test by holistic stratified random sampling to calculate the population infection rate and analyze the risk factors of infection.Results The total infection rate was 32.5％,which was lower than the national H.pylori infection rate.No consumption of fruits and vegetables,no habit of washing hands before meals,and people with gastrointestinal symptoms,are independent risk factors of H.pylori infection.No consumption of pickled products is of great significance to prevent H.pylori infection.Conclusion The prevalence of H.pylori infection in the population of Haikou is lower than the national average,and H.pylori infection is closely related to the poor living habits of residents.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Zhuangxuan Yin in the treatment of children with H1N1 pneumonia through regulating gut microbiota mediated by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38-MAPK)pathway.Methods A BALB/c mouse model of H1N1 pneumonia was prepared using the H1N1 influenza virus allantoic solution for nasal drop.The model was randomly separated into 5 groups:model group,Zhuangxuan Yin low-,medium-and high-dose groups,and high-dose Zhuangxuan Yin(28.66 g·kg-1)+anisomycin(10 mg·kg-1)group.The control group was infused with sterile physiological saline of equal volume using the same method.After treatment with Zhuangxuan Yin and anisomycin,the lung index of mice in each group was measured,and HE staining was applied to detect the pathological morphology of lung and large intestine tissues.16SrRNA gene sequencing was applied to detect the structural difference of gut microbiota in mice of each group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELASA)was applied to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-4,IL-6,and IL-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)and large intestine tissue of mice in each group.Western Blot was applied to detect the expression of p38-MAPK pathway-related proteins in lung and large intestine tissues of mice in each group.Results Compared with the control group,the lung and large intestine tissues of the model group mice showed obvious pathological damage,the lung index,pathological score of lung and large intestine,ACE index,Shannon index,abundance of class Clostridia,the levels of TNF-α,IL-4,IL-6,and IL-1β in BALF and large intestine tissues,and p-p38-MAPK/p38-MAPK in lung and large intestine tissues increased(P＜0.05).The abundance of class Bacteroidales decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the pathological damage in the lung and large intestine tissues of mice in the Zhuangxuan Yin low-,medium-and high-dose groups were reduced.The lung index,pathological score of lung and large intestine,ACE index,Shannon index,abundance of class Clostridia,the levels of TNF-α,IL-4,IL-6,and IL-1β in BALF and large intestine tissues,and p-p38-MAPK/p38-MAPK in lung and large intestine tissues decreased(P＜0.05),the abundance of class Bacteroidales increased(P＜0.05),and in a dose-dependent manner(P＜0.05).Compared with the high-dose Zhuangxuan Yin group,the pathological damage in the lung and large intestine tissues of mice in the high-dose Zhuangxuan Yin+anisomycin group was aggravated,the lung index,pathological score of lung and large intestine,ACE index,Shannon index,abundance of class Clostridia,the levels of TNF-α,IL-4,IL-6,and IL-1β in BALF and large intestine tissues,and p-p38-MAPK/p38-MAPK in lung and large intestine tissues increased(P＜0.05),and the abundance of class Bacteroidales decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Zhuangxuan Yin can improve the imbalance of intestinal microbiota in H1N1 pneumonia mice by inhibiting p38-MAPK signal activation,thereby inhibiting inflammation and reducing lung and large intestine tissue damage in mice,which may have a therapeutic effect on children with H1N1 pneumonia.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.
