Objective To analyze the expression level of kinesin family member 26B(KIF26B)in bladder cancer based on the pub-lic database,and to investigate the effect of silencing KIF26B on the proliferation,invasion and migration of bladder cancer cells.Methods The expression of KIF26B in bladder cancer and its relationship with survival and prognosis were analyzed based on GEO and UaLcan databases.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)and Western blot were used to detect the expression of KIF26B in bladder cancer cell lines(T24,J82)and normal bladder epithelial cells SV-HUV-1.si-KIF26B and si-NC fragments were transfected into T24 cells,and the effects of silencing KIF26B on the proliferation,invasion and migration of T24 cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay,Transwell assay and scratch assay.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of p-MEK,MEK,ERK and p-ERK proteins after the silencing of KIF26B.Results KIF26B was highly expressed in bladder cancer tis-sues,and the prognosis of patients with high expression of KIF26B was worse(P＜0.05).The expression level of KIF26B in bladder cancer cell lines T24 and J82 was significantly higher than that in normal bladder epithelial cells SV-HUV-1(P＜0.05).After the si-lencing of KIF26B gene,MTT,Transwell and scratch assay Results showed that the proliferation,invasion and migration ability of T24 cells were significantly decreased(P＜0.05);After silencing KIF26B,the expression of p-MEK and p-ERK proteins in T24 cells was down-regulated(P＜0.05),while MEK and ERK proteins had no significant changes(P＞0.05).Conclusion KIF26B is highly ex-pressed in bladder cancer tissues and cells,which is associated with poor prognosis of patients.Silencing KIF26B can inhibit the prolifera-tion,invasion and migration of bladder cancer cells,and the mechanism may play a role through the MEK/ERK pathway.

Objective To understand the awareness of the emergency physicians for thrombolytic thera-py recommended by ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)guidelines and implementation sit-uation,and to analyze the related influencing factors.Methods Relying on Chengdu Emergency Quality Con-trol Center,the questionnaires were distributed to the hospitals of expert group members and the hospitals of the medical union from April to July 2023 to investigate the awareness,implementation status and training status of the emergency doctors in Chengdu area on the STEMI thrombolytic therapy.The causes affecting thrombolysis decision-making were analyzed.Results A total of 137 hospitals participated in the survey.Whether the treatment system and type of chest pain,chest pain center,percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)qualified hospitals or departments carrying out the training and hospital grade were correlated to whether STEMI patients were thrombolyzed within 12 h before transport(P＜0.05).Whether the PCI quali-fied hospital,chest pain center,chest pain treatment system and type,carrying training,hospital grade,geo-graphical location,transport duration,and thrombolytic indication understanding situation were not related to whether thrombolytic therapy was recommended for the duration from the first medical contact(FMC)to PCI(FMC-PCI)≥120 min(P＞0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that whether the de-partment carrying out the training was an influential factor for whether thrombolytic therapy was carried out within 12 h before transport in STEMI onset(P＜0.05).The hospital grade was a influencing factor for whether thrombolysis in non-chest pain treatment system was carried before transport within 12 h of the onset of STEMI.The main reason for STEMI patients being directly transfered treatment without thrombolysis within 12 h of onset was because they knew that thrombolysis was needed but did not know how to do it(50.00％).The awareness rate of thrombolytic indication in non-main urban area was higher than that in main urban area(P＜0.05).The carrying out department training rate of PCI qualified hospitals was higher than that of non-PCI qualified hospitals(P＜0.05).The receiving superior hospital training rate also had difference among different hospital grades and geographical locations.Conclusion Conducting the thrombolysis training and enhancing the learning of treatment processes directly affect the emergency physicians'choice of reperfu-sion strategies for the patients with STEMI.Continuous promotion of the construction of chest pain center or chest pain treatment unit could further increase the early reperfusion rate of STEMI.

Viral hepatitis is one of the serious infectious diseases affecting the health of Chinese residents. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set the goal of eliminating the threat of viral hepatitis by 2030 as a global public health goal. However, in the prevention and control of viral hepatitis C, due to the etiological characteristics of the hepatitis C virus and the particularity of the natural history of HCV infection, there has been no breakthrough in the research of hepatitis C vaccine. The specificity of the HCV infection population, alongside the fact that the majority of those infected with HCV remain asymptomatic, presents numerous challenges in controlling and preventing hepatitis C. This article provides a comprehensive review of the virology, epidemiology, and current prevention and control challenges faced in the management of hepatitis C.

Objective To prepare a dissolvable microneedle(DMN)with a tip-layer loaded with hyaluronic acid(HA)modified sinomenine hydrochloride liposomes(HA-SMH-Lip),as well as characterize,evaluate its in vitro transdermal permeability,cellular uptake ability,and anti-inflammatory ability.Methods HA-SMH-Lip-DMNs were prepared by a two-step casting method,and the drug loading capacity was determined using HPLC.The morphology,skin permeation properties and in vitro transdermal ability were investigated by scanning electron microscopy,puncture assay and Franz diffusion cell method.Fluorescent microneedles were prepared by replacing HA-SMH-Lip with fluorescein isothiocyanate liposomes(HA-FITC-Lip/FITC-Lip).The uptake behavior of inflammation cells on HA-FITC-Lip-DMNs/FITC-Lip-DMNs was investigated using a flow cytometer and a fluorescence microscope.To evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of HA-SMH-Lip-DMNs,the levels of inflammatory factors including nitric oxide(NO),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin 1β(IL-1β),and IL-10 in cell supernatants were measured using an ELISA kit.Results The prepared HA-SMH-Lip-DMNs have uniform shape and size,integral and visually pleasing array,and an average drug loading of(114.01±1.04)μg.Additionally,they have good puncture ability.The results of in vitro transdermal experiments showed that the accumulated amounts of HA-SMH-Lip-DMNs were(101.47±2.91)μg·cm-2 at 36 hours.Its transdermal ability was better than that of the SMH solution group and SMH liposome group.In vitro cellular uptake results indicated that HA-FITC-Lip-DMNs were more effectively taken up by RAW 264.7 cells(P＜0.01).Compared to the model group,HA-SMH-Lip-DMNs group significantly reduced TNF-α,IL-1β,and NO levels while increase IL-10 levels(P＜0.01).Conclusion The prepared HA-SMH-Lip-DMNs have a complete and beautiful morphology with excellent cellular uptake capability,remarkable in vitro transdermal performance,and potent anti-inflammatory properties.HA-SMH-Lip-DMNs are expected to become a new type of transdermal drug delivery system.

Objective:To study the early use of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) as a rescue therapy in extremely premature infants (EPIs) with refractory hypoxic respiratory failure (HRF).Methods:Between January 2021 and December 2021, EPIs with refractory HRF receiving iNO within the first week of life in our NICU were enrolled. Their clinical characteristics and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 11 EPIs were included with 5 males and 6 females. The median gestational age (GA) was 24(22.6, 25.2) weeks. The median birth weight (BW) was 580(490, 770) g. The most common primary diagnoses were moderate/severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) (5/11) and early-onset sepsis (3/11). The median age starting iNO therapy was 6.5(4.5, 34.0)h and the median duration of iNO was 24(12, 36)h. The median iNO starting dose was 5(5, 8) ppm and the therapeutic range was 5-20 ppm. Therapeutic efficacy was defined as ≥30% FiO 2 reduction after 6 h of iNO treatment. The treatment was effective in 8 cases. The oxygenation index (OI) decreased more than 10% from baseline 1 h after initiation in 9 patients and in all 11 patients after 12 h of iNO. The reduction of OI was more prominent in EPIs with a higher OI at baseline. Of the 11 patients, 8 survived, 1 died and 2 abandoned further treatments. Conclusions:As an early rescue therapy for EPIs with refractory HRF, iNO can improve oxygenation without obvious short-term adverse effects.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) in different ages treated by uterine artery embolization (UAE).Methods:120 patients with CSP admitted to Jiangyin Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2016 to July 2019 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into observation group (≤35 years, 75 cases) and control group (>35 years, 45 cases) according to age. Clinical data of all patients were collected and followed up for 6 months. The clinical observation indicators, surgical efficacy, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, ovarian recovery, postoperative complications and adverse reactions, and quality of life score at 6 months after surgery were compared between the two groups. A random walk model was used to evaluate the improvement of ovarian function in the two groups.Results:In the observation group, the blood loss, operation time, postoperative β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) value, β-HCG value turning negative and menstrual recovery time were significantly less than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The total effective rate was above 90% in the two groups, and no significant difference was observed (96.00% vs 91.11%, P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in VAS score of the two groups before surgery, 48 h and 72 h after surgery (all P>0.05), and VAS score of the observation group at 12 h and 24 h after surgery were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The levels of serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E 2), testosterone (T) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in observation group were better than those in control group after treatment (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of secondary uterine clearance, massive bleeding, hysterectomy, incision infection, vaginal bleeding and vaginal hematoma between the two groups (all P>0.05), but the total incidence of complications in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group ( P<0.05). Diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and other adverse reactions were significantly improved after symptomatic treatment, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the quality of life score 6 months after surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05). The results of random walk model evaluation showed that the improvement coefficients of the observation group were 0.147 6, 0.135 9, 0.180 2 and 0.206 3, while those of the control group were 0.142 2, 0.098 9, 0.152 4 and 0.197 4, respectively. Conclusions:UAE treatment for CSP patients of different ages showed no significant difference in clinical efficacy, and postoperative complications were not easy to occur, and the prognosis was good.
