Objective:To discuss the role of angiopoietin-like protein 6(ANGPTL6)in liver fibrosis,and to analyze the improving effect of engineered exosome(Exo)-delivered ANGPTL6 mRNA on liver fibrosis.Methods:A total of 12 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into olive oil group(OIL group)(intraperitoneally injected with olive oil)and carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)group(intraperitoneally injected with a mixture of olive oil and CCl?),with 6 mice in each group;another 12 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group(fed a with methionine-choline sufficient diet)and methionine-choline deficient(MCD)group(fed a with MCD diet),and two kinds of mouse liver fibrosis models were established.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blotting method were used to detect the ANGPTL6 mRNA and protein expression levels in liver tissue of the mice in various groups.A total of 30 mice were randomly divided into olive oil+phosphate buffered saline(PBS)group(OIL+PBS group)(intraperitoneally injected with olive oil twice a week for 8 weeks,then injected with PBS buffer by tail vein twice a week for 6 weeks),CCl4+Exo-green fluorescent protein(GFP)mRNA group(established liver fibrosis model by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 mixture and were injected by tail vein with engineered Exo loaded with GFP mRNA for 6 weeks),and CCl?+Exo-ANGPTL6 mRNA group(established liver fibrosis model by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 mixture and were injected by tail vein with engineered Exo loaded with ANGPTL6 mRNA for 6 weeks),with 10 mice in each group.The mice in CCl4+Exo-GFP mRNA group and CCl4+Exo-ANGPTL6 mRNA group were injected with engineered Exo twice a week,20 μg per mouse each time(volume 100 μL).ELISA method was used to detect the serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)activities in the mice in various groups;Masson staining and Sirius red staining were used to observe the collagen deposition in liver tissue of the mice in various groups;immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)expression levels in liver tissue of the mice in various groups;RT-qPCR method was used to detect the expression levels of α-SMA,collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1 chain(Col1a1),transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1),and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1(TIMP-1)mRNA in liver tissue of the mice in various groups.Results:The bioinformatics analysis results showed that ANGPTL6 expression was significantly down-regulated in activated hepatic stellate cell(aHSC).The ultrasound examination results showed that the liver surface of the mice in OIL group was fine and smooth;compared with OIL group,the liver section of the mice in CCl? group was rough and uneven.The RT-qPCR and Western blotting results showed that compared with OIL group,the ANGPTL6 mRNA and protein expression levels in liver tissue of the mice in CCl? group were significantly decreased(P<0.05).The engineered Exo extracted from the supernatant of HEK293T cells had intact structure and could be largely enriched in the fibrotic liver after tail vein injection,with GFP protein being largely expressed in the liver.The ELISA assay results showed that compared with OIL+PBS group,the ALT and AST activities in CCl4+Exo-GFP mRNA group were significantly increased(P<0.05);compared with CCl4+Exo-ANGPTL6 mRNA group,the serum ALT and AST activities in CCl4+Exo-GFP mRNA group were significantly decreased(P<0.05).The Masson staining and Sirius red staining results showed that compared with OIL+PBS group,the collagen deposition in liver tissue of the mice in CCl?+Exo-GFP mRNA group was significantly increased,and the relative collagen area was increased(P<0.05);compared with CCl4+Exo-GFP mRNA group,the collagen deposition in tissue liver of the mice in CCl?+Exo-ANGPTL6 mRNA group was significantly decreased,and the relative collagen area was decreased(P<0.05).The immunohistochemistry results showed that compared with OIL+PBS group,the α-SMA protein expression level in liver tissue of the mice in CCl?+Exo-GFP mRNA group was significantly increased(P<0.05);compared with CCl4+Exo-GFP mRNA group,the α-SMA protein expression level in liver tissue of the mice in CCl?+Exo-ANGPTL6 mRNA group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The RT-qPCR results showed that compared with OIL+PBS group,the expression levels of Col1a1,α-SMA,TGF-β1,and TIMP-1 mRNA in liver tissue of the mice in CCl?+Exo-GFP mRNA group were significantly increased(P<0.05);compared with CCl4+Exo-GFP mRNA group,the expression levels of Col1a1,α-SMA,TGF-β1,and TIMP-1 mRNA in liver tissue of the mice in CCl?+Exo-ANGPTL6 mRNA group were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Engineered Exo-delivered ANGPTL6 mRNA injected via the tail vein in the mice is mainly enriched in the liver,and engineered Exo delivery of ANGPTL6 mRNA has an improving effect on liver fibrosis in the mice.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of bone metabolism parameters on cardiac autonomic nervous system function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 328 patients with T2DM hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of Gansu Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled in this study from October 2022 to October 2023.According to the serum 25(OH)D level,all the participants were divided into<10 ng/ml group(n=80),10～20 ng/ml group(n=173),and 20～30 ng/ml group(n=75).Biochemical indicators,bone metabolic parameters,left ventricular mass(LVM)and left ventricular mass index(LVMI)were compared.Time domain indicators ofheart rate variability(HRV)in 24 h holter electrocardiogram,including the global standard deviation of normal sinus RR interval(SDNN),sinus RR interval mean standard deviation(SDANN),and normal continuous sinus RR interval difference root mean square(RMSSD).Meanwhile,adjacent RR interval difference>50 ms as a percentage of the total inter-period(PNN50),HRV triangle index,standard deviation of the difference between the length of the entire adjacent NN interperiod(SDSD),and 24 h holter electrocardiogram HRV time-domain relevant indicators were compared among the three groups.The influence of bone metabolism parameters on cardiac autonomic nervous function and their correlation were analyzed,and the optimal cutting point of cardiac autonomic nervous function was predicted by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results SBP,heart rate(HR),FPG,PWV,PTH and β-CTX in groups of 10 ng/ml,10～20 ng/ml and 20～30 ng/ml decreased in turn(P<0.05),while HDL-C,ABI,25(OH)D,Ca2+and PNN50 decreased.Correlation analysis between Spearman and Pearson showed that 25(OH)D was positively correlated with SDNN,HRV triangle index,PNN50 and rMSSD(P<0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that 25(OH)D,Ca2+and HR were the influencing factors of cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction in patients with T2DM.The ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the ROC curve of 25(OH)D,Ca2+and HR were 0.791,0.607 and 0.629,respectively,with sensitivity of 73.4%,53.2%and 38.7%,and specificity of 74.0%,93.6%and 81.4%,respectively.Conclusions 25(OH)D is the influencing factor of cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction in patients with T2DM,and patients with high degree of deficiency are more prone to cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction.

Coagulation factor ⅩⅢ (FⅩⅢ) deficiency is a rare disease that is easily overlooked because routine coagulation tests do not reflect its deficiency. FⅩⅢ deficiency is divided into hereditary FⅩⅢ deficiency and acquired FⅩⅢ deficiency. The diagnosis of FⅩⅢ deficiency requires testing for FⅩⅢ activity and antigen, with confirmation through genetic testing. Due to the instability of fibrin clots caused by FⅩⅢ deficiency, the clinical features of FⅩⅢ deficiency include umbilical cord bleeding, soft tissue hematoma, recurrent miscarriage, cerebral hemorrhage, and delayed wound healing. Acquired FⅩⅢ deficiency can be caused by various reasons, and this article introduces a case of acquired FⅩⅢ deficiency in a patient after hip replacement surgery due to long-term use of sodium valproate.

In recent years, a number of policies have been implemented to strengthen the cultivation of general practitioners in China. However, the development of community-level health professionals is still lagging behind, the development is uneven among regions, the overall number of general practitioners is insufficient, and the quality of medical services needs to be improved. Based on the Shanhai (Mountain and Sea) promotion project, with the close cooperation between the Second Affiliated Hospital and the medical consortium unit Suichang County People′s Hospital, a " Joint Cultivation by Dual-Teachers " model has been applied in training general practitioners for Suichang county community since March 2021. In this article we discuss the optimization and integration of medical and health resources through the outreaching assistance of high-quality personnel, management and system of medical service, to comprehensively upgrade the primary care and the quality of grass-roots general practitioners in remote mountainous areas.

Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphism of 90 autosomal SNPs in Guangdong Han population and assess their value in forensic medicine based on next generation sequencing. Methods Blood samples were collected from 100 unrelated individuals. Through using AutoMate ExpressTM Nucleic Acid Extraction System, DNA was extracted. HID-Ion AmpliSeq? Identity Panel was applied for library preparation while Ion OneTouch? 2 system (OT2) was employed for emulsion PCR (emPCR). NGS was performed on the Ion PGM? system. Sequencing results were analysed using the Torrent Suite v4.4.2 with the HID_SNP_Genotyper v4.3.1 plugin. The forensic parameters were calculated and compared with GoldeneyeTM 20A systems. Results According to the Bonferroni correction, the genotypes of 90 autosomal SNPs were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and no linkage disequilibrium was observed. The average Ho of 90 autosomal SNPs was 0.423, the average DP was 0.560 and the average PIC was 0.329. The CDP (cumulative power of discrimination) of 90 autosomal SNPs system was 1-1.20×10-33, which was greater than that of 20A System. The CPEtri (cumulative excluding probability of trio paternity) was 0.999 999 911 and the CPEduo (cumulative excluding probability of duo paternity) was 0.999 882. Both of these two parameters were below that of 20A System. Conclusion It suggested that the 90 autosomal SNPs System can be applied to forensic individual discrimination and trio paternity testing independently. Besides, it is supposed to be used in the duo paternity testing as an assistant measure.
