Objective:
To construct microRNA(miR)-22 gene knockout(miR-22-/-) mice using CRISPR/Cas 9 technology, to breed miR-22-/- mice and to identify their genotypes.
Methods :
In this experiment, CRISPR/Cas 9 technology was used to construct miR-22-/- genetically engineered mice. After gene identification, the F0 generation miR-22-/- mice were mated with wild-type mice in the same litter to obtain F1 generation miR-22-/- mice. The miR-22 knockout efficiency was analyzed at the RNA level by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR). Western blot was used to detect the interaction between miR-22 and target genes.
Results :
miR-22-/- mice were successfully constructed using CRISPR/Cas 9 technology, gene identification was performed on the bred mice, and three stable genotypes of miR-22+/+,miR-22+/-, and miR-22-/- were identified. The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection results confirmed that miR-22-/- mice showed almost no expression of miR-22 in the heart, liver, lung, kidney, spleen, and thymus tissues compared to wild-type mice in the same litter. Western blot analysis showed that the relative expression level of NLRP3 protein in miR-22-/- mouse tissues was lower than that in wild-type mice.
Conclusion
A miR-22-/- mouse model is successfully constructed, and stable genetic homozygous miR-22-/- mice is obtained. This indicates that miR-22 has an inhibitory effect on the downstream target gene NLRP3.

Objective:To explore the independent risk factors for predicting the right adrenal dominant secretory side in patients with primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA), so as to construct and verify the prediction model of the dominant secretory side, and provide evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of PHA patients.Methods:Clinical data of 82 PHA patients undergoing adrenal vein sampling (AVS) admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2015 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and divided into the training set (58 cases) and the verification set (24 cases) according to the ratio of 7∶3. Single factor and multiple factor logistic regression analysis were used to screen out the risk factors for predicting the right adrenal dominant secretory side, and then combined with the risk factors to build the prediction model of the dominant secretory side. The predictive efficiency and clinical applicability of the predominance secretory nomogram prediction model were verified by drawing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA curve).Results:(1) Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis showed that the concentration of aldosterone (ALD2) in inferior vena cava and the results of adrenal CT imaging suggested that the right adrenal unilateral nodule (RJJ) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of right adrenal dominant secretion in PHA patients undergoing AVS (all P<0.05). (2) The area under ROC curve (AUC) corresponding to ALD2 variable was 0.898(95% CI: 0.735 7-0.986 1), and the sensitivity and specificity were 95.2% and 81.1%, respectively. The corresponding AUC of RJJ variable was 0.750(95% CI: 0.683 1-0.976 3), and the sensitivity and specificity were 90.5% and 86.7%, respectively. The AUC of the two variables in the verification set were 0.926 and 0.778, respectively. (3) Calibration curve and DCA curve showed that the prediction model had good consistency and clinical applicability, and can produce good clinical benefits. Conclusions:ALD2 and adrenal CT results suggest that RJJ is an independent risk factor for the prediction of the right adrenal dominant secretory side, and the prediction model based on these risk factors has good predictive efficacy and clinical applicability.

Primary hyperaldosteronism(PHA),the most common cause of secondary hypertension,can lead to cardiovascular and renal damage events.Early diagnosis and accurate typing of PHA is crucial to the choice of treatment options,and its diagnostic modalities usually include prone test screening,captopril test characterization and adrenal vein blood sampling for localization and typing diagnosis.However,with the development of imaging,molecular biology and morphology technologies,the use of nuclear medicine PET-CT,genetic testing and pathological diagnostic methods can also be used to accurately typify PHA.New technologies such as adrenal artery embolization and adrenal radiofrequency ablation are also increasingly being used in the treatment of PHA,which have the advantages of shorter and less costly surgery,fewer postoperative complications,and quicker recovery.This article provides a review of the developments in the screening,diagnosis and treatment of PHA with a view to informing clinical practice.

Lung cancer, the most common malignant tumor, is characterized by a complex pathogenesis and high malignancy, and poses a significant threat to the health and lives of affected individuals. p53 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the progression of lung cancer and is considered one of the potential targets for targeted therapy. In recent years, multiple studies have indicated that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can exert anticancer effects by modulating the p53 signaling pathway. Based on this, this article systematically summarizes the current status and progress of research on TCM intervening in lung cancer by regulating p53 signaling pathway. It was found that TCM formula and preparations, such as Qingjin desheng tablet, Tiaoqi xiaoji decoction, Bufei tongluo jiedu formula, Jianpi bushen formula and Yiqi fuzheng jiedu formula, can promote autophagy and apoptosis of lung cancer cells, inhibit the growth and metastasis of lung cancer cells and strengthen the immune function of the body by activating p53 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting lung cancer. TCM monomers, such as pseudoginsenoside-Rh2, saikosaponin D, polyphyllin Ⅶ, dendrobiine, sophoridine, gambogic acid, triptolide and triptolide succinate monoester YJ-4, can accelerate cell apoptosis, inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells and regulate cell cycle by activating p53 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting lung cancer.

Objective:To explore the different design of readiness assurance process (RAP) and application in TBL teaching of rehabilitation medicine, and to compare the teaching effects.Methods:A total of 40 students who had clinical rotation in our department were chose as research subjects, and they were taught with TBL teaching. Two chapters of "Stroke Rehabilitation" and "Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation" were chosen for the two lectures. During the course of "Stroke Rehabilitation", the RAP adopted open-ended questions, and the application part simulated Teamwork meetings. In the course of "Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation", the RAP used close-ended multiple-choice questions, and the application part simulated making rehabilitation plan. At the end of the two lectures, questionnaires were send to students.Results:For the RAP part, more students preferred open-ended questions. In the application part, students preferred to make rehabilitation plan.Conclusion:The process of clinical diagnosis and treatment and the formulation of rehabilitation plan in clinical practice of rehabilitation medicine has been applied to different parts of TBL teachings, and students are favor of this teaching method, which provides a reference for the future TBL teaching design of rehabilitation medicine.
