Objective To explore the clinical values of non-invasive myocardial work (MW) and tissue motion annular displacement (TMAD) in evaluation of anthracycline therapy-related cardiac dysfunction in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods A total of 62 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma who received standardized chemotherapy based on doxorubicin. Two and three dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, along with two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, were performed one day before chemotherapy and at 3, 6, and 9 months after chemotherapy to assess left ventricular ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain (GLS), MW parameters, and TMAD. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors for cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the diagnostic values of MW- and TMAD-related parameters for CTRCD. Results Compared to baseline, GLS, global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global work efficiency (GWE), TMAD at midpoint (TMADmid), and TMADmid percentage of left ventricular long-axis diameter (TMADmid%) decreased at 3 months after chemotherapy, while global wasted work (GWW) increased at 6 months after chemotherapy (P＜0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the relative reduction in GLS and TMADmid% at 3 months after chemotherapy were independent predictors for CTRCD （P＜0.05), while MW parameters were not independent predictors for CTRCD. GLS reduction≥10.3% and TMADmid% reduction≥15.8% at 3 months after chemotherapy predicted CTRCD with 0.866 and 0.824 of area under the curve (AUC), 92% and 75% of sensitivity, and 74% and 80% of specificity, respectively. AUC of combination of two indexes improved to 0.905, with 75% of sensitivity and 90% of specificity. Conclusions In non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients, the combination of GLS and TMADmid% is helpful of predicting CTRCD early, TMAD may be a novel diagnostic index for CTRCD, and GLS has superior predictive performance than MW for CTRCD.

ObjectiveTo clarify the expression of TRIM28 in non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia （AML） and its correlation with clinical indicators and prognosis， and to further explore the effect of TRIM28 expression levels on the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells using small interfering RNA. MethodsThe GSE34577 dataset was analyzed using R software to compare TRIM28 expression between healthy controls and non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia （AML） patients. Clinical samples from non-M3 AML patients were collected， with TRIM28 expression levels measured using real-time quantitative PCR （qPCR）. The analysis focused on correlations between TRIM28 expression and various clinical indicators， treatment efficacy， and patient prognosis. Furthermore， small interfering RNA （siRNA） technology was employed to downregulate TRIM28 expression in human primary AML cells （HL60 cell line）. The effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis were then assessed through CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry， respectively. ResultsThe results showed that TRIM28 was up-regulated in non-M3 AML of both online database GSE34577 and clinical samples （P<0.000 1）， TRIM28 expression of new diagnosis group and relapsed refractory group was higher than iron deficiency anemia group （P<0.01）， and there was no significance between different French-American-British classification systems subtype. TRIM28 expression was higher in non-M3 AML patients with a poor genetic prognosis stratified as moderate than in the good prognosis group， and TRIM28 expression was associated with NPM1 combined with the FLT3-ITD mutation， positively correlated with age， bone marrow blast， peripheral blood blast and white blood cell， negatively correlated with hemoglobin. In addition， interference TRIM28 greatly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis. ConclusionThis study reveals that TRIM28 is highly expressed in non-M3 AML and associated with prognosis， and plays a key role in the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells， suggesting that TRIM28 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for non-M3 AML.

Objective To identify the key biomarkers for diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)complicated with pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH)using bioinformatics,and validate their clinical significance.Methods High-throughput sequencing data analysis was employed to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs)in COPD-PAH.Functional enrichment analysis was then conducted to explore the biological functions of these DEGs.Machine learning methods,including least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO),random forest(RF),and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination(SVM-RFE),were utilized to screen 5 potential biomarkers.Single-cell analysis was performed to reveal the expression patterns of these key genes in macrophages.The clinical significance of these biomarkers was further validated using peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)data.A mouse model of COPD-PAH was established using hypoxia exposure.Sixteen mice(either sexes,8 weeks old,weighing 20～22 g)were randomly divided into a hypoxia group[O2(10.0±0.5)%,COPD-PAH,n=8]and a normoxia group(COPD,n=8).Immunofluorescence assay was used to label the key biomarkers,and their expression levels were quantified.Results A total of 28 DEGs(|Log2FC|≥2,P<0.05)were identified in COPD-PAH patients.Functional enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs in COPD were primarily associated with major histocompatibility complex(MHC)Ⅱ and cell division,and involved in lysosomes,oxidative phosphorylation,and cell cycle pathways(P<0.05).Machine learning identified 5 potential biomarkers(GRN,KLF4,SHTN1,LRP1,and GPNMB),and subsequent single-cell analysis revealed that these markers exhibited reverse expression patterns during disease progression.A nomogram model constructed based on PBMC data yielded an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.907 in diagnosing COPD-PAH.GRN,KLF4,SHTN1,LRP1 and GPNMB were significantly upregulated in the COPD-PAH group(P<0.05).Conclusion GRN,KLF4,SHTN1,LRP1 and GPNMB are identified as key biomarkers for the prediction and diagnosis of COPD-PAH,which providing new insights for the clinical and treatment of the condition.

Objective To investigate the effects of preoperative anxiety on the intraoperative body temperature,recessive blood loss,and wound healing in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy under general anesthesia.Methods A total of 118 elderly patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy in Yancheng Third People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects,and they were divided into the normal group(69 cases with normal emotions)and the anxiety group(49 cases with anxiety emotions)according to the self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)score 1 day before operation.The core temperature at different time points and the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia were compared between the two groups.The intraoperative bleeding volume,incision drainage bleeding volume,recessive blood loss,incidence of adverse reactions,and wound healing were compared between the two groups.Results The core temperature 60 minutes after operation and at the end of operation in the anxiety group were significantly lower than those in the normal group(P<0.05).The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia in the anxiety group was significantly higher than that in the normal group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the intraoperative bleeding volume or incision drainage bleeding volume between the two groups(P>0.05),while the recessive blood loss in the anxiety group was significantly higher than that in the normal group(P<0.05).The incidence of shivering in the anxiety group was significantly higher than that in the normal group(P<0.05);the incidence of poor wound healing in the anxiety group was significantly higher than that in the normal group(P<0.05).Conclusion For elderly patients who undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy for more than 60 minutes,the body temperature will significantly decrease,the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia and shivering is high,the recessive blood loss will significantly increase,which is prone to poor wound healing and is not conducive to the rapid recovery of patients after operation,if combined with anxiety before surgery.

The xylitol dehydrogenase(XDH)is a crucial enzyme involved in the xylose utilization in pentose-catabolizing yeasts and fungi.In addition to producing xylulose,XDH can also be employed to develop a biosensor for monitoring xylitol concentration.In this study,the gene encoding the thermophilic fungus Talaromyces emersonii XDH(TeXDH)was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)at 16 ℃ in the soluble form.Recombinant TeXDH with high purity was purified by using a Ni-NTA affinity column.Size-exclusion chromatography and SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated that the puri-fied recombinant TeXDH exists as a native trimer with a molecular mass of approximately 116 kD,and is composed of three identical subunits,each with a molecular weight of around 39 kD.The TeXDH strictly preferred NAD+as a coenzyme to NADP+.The optimal temperature and pH of the TeXDH were 40 ℃and 10.0,respectively.After EDTA treatment,the enzyme activity of TeXDH decreased to 43.26％of the initial enzyme activity,while the divalent metal ions Mg2+or Ca2+could recover the enzyme activity of TeXDH,reaching 103.32％and 110.69％of the initial enzyme activity,respectively,making them the optimal divalent metal ion cofactors for TeXDH enzyme.However,the divalent metal ions of Mn2+,Ni2+,Cu2+,Zn2+,Co2+,and Cd2+significantly inhibited the activity of TeXDH.ICP-MS and molecular doc-king studies revealed that 1 mol/L of TeXDH bound 2 mol/L Zn2+ions and 1 mol/L Mg2+ion.Further-more,TeXDH exhibited a high specificity for xylitol,laying the foundation for the development of future xylitol biosensors.

Objective:To discuss the correlation between Helicobacter pylori(Hp) infection and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3(25(OH)D 3)level in the elderly physical examination population. Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. Selecting individuals who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria as the subjects of the study and underwent health check-ups between January 2018 and December 2019 in the Second Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital.According to the Delta Over Baseline (DOB) value of 13C urea breath test, the subjects were divided into two groups: those with DOB value≥4 ( n=1 018) were diagnosed as Hp-positive and were included in the positive group, and the others were Hp-negative and were included in the negative group (DOB value<4, n=2 067). The age, gender, height, weight, disease history, family disease history and other basic medical records were recorded; and blood samples were drawn for analysis of blood test, blood biochemical test etc. Then the serum 25(OH)D 3 levels were compared between the two groups. The influencing factors of Hp infection were analyzed using a multifactor logistic regression model and the confounding factors were also adjusted. Results:A total of 3 085 elderly people (male 1 838, female 1 247) were selected in this study, the median age is 64 years, the detection rate of Hp was 33%. Single factor analysis showed that the serum 25(OH)D 3 level in the positive group was significantly lower than that in the negative group (20.59 ng/ml vs 21.07 ng/ml, P=0.012). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the serum 25(OH)D 3 level was a negative influence factor on Hp infection( OR=0.984, P=0.008). High level of serum 25(OH)D 3 can reduce the risk of Hp infection ( OR=0.707, P=0.002). The three constructed Hp infection risk prediction models still showed statistically significant after controlling for confounding factors. Conclusion:The study shows a correlation between serum 25(OH)D 3 level and the Hp infection in the elderly people, and low level of serum 25(OH)D 3 is an independent risk factor for Hp infection in the elderly population.

Objective: To investigate the effects of different doses of X ⁃rays irradiation combined with allogeneic lymphocyte infusion on the establishment of aplastic anemia in mice. Methods: Forty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups : the 3 Gy group (n = 9) , the 4 Gy group (n = 9) , the 5 Gy group (n = 10) , and the con⁃trol group (n = 12) . In the 3 Gy , 4 Gy , and 5 Gy groups , the experimental mice were exposed to corresponding do⁃ses of X ⁃ray and then intravenously infused with 0. 2 mL mixed suspension of the thymus and spleen cells from DBA/2 mice , at a concentration of 1 × 107 cells/mL , within 4 hours after irradiation. The control group did not un⁃dergo X ⁃ray irradiation and infused with an equivalent volume of physiological saline instead. Blood samples were collected from the orbital venous plexus of BALB/c mice and analyzed using an animal automated hematology analy⁃zer to measure peripheral blood parameters , including red blood cells ( RBC) , white blood cells ( WBC) , and platelets (PLT) . The general condition of mice was monitored daily , and survival rates were recorded for each group. At the experimental endpoint , the tibias were harvested for hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining , while the femurs were used to prepare bone marrow smears for morphological examination. For the 5 Gy group , T ⁃cell subsets(ELISA) at the endpoint. Results : In the 3 Gy group , pancytopenia was observed , but platelet recovery occured rapidly , returning to normal levels by day 17 post⁃modeling. No deaths occurred during the observation period. At myeloid⁃to⁃erythroid (M/E) ratio , and no significant morphological abnormalities were noted in cells at any devel⁃with hematopoietic cells. In the 4 Gy group , pancytopenia persisted throughout the observation period. The survival rate was 90% . Endpoint analysis showed hypocellular marrow by morphological examination. HE staining indicated minimal fatty infiltration in the bone marrow tissue. In the 5 Gy group , pancytopenia was observed , though erythro⁃cyte counts returned to normal levels by day 24. The survival rate during the observation period was 50% . Endoint analysis revealed vacuolization of marrow particles and reduced hematopoietic cells with predominantly non⁃hematopoietic cells in bone marrow morphology. HE staining demonstrated severe fatty infiltration in the bone mar⁃row tissue , with scarcity of immature cells and hematopoietic precursor cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed a de⁃creased proportion of CD4 + T cells (% ) and an increased proportion of CD8 + T cells (% ) . ELISA confirmed elevated secretion of negative hematopoietic regulators : interferon⁃gamma ( IFN⁃γ) and tumor necrosis factor⁃alpha (TNF⁃α ) . Conclusion Combined administration of varying radiation doses with allogeneic lymphocyte infusion consistently induced peripheral blood cytopenia in mice , characterized by reductions in RBC , WBC , and PLT counts. Integrated analysis of bone marrow morphology , histopathological assessment via HE staining , and immuno logical parameters confirmed that a mouse model of aplastic anemia can be successfully established using 5 Gy X ⁃ ray irradiation coupled with infusion of 2 × 106 allogeneic lymphocytes.
