Objective To investigate the effect of miR-486-5P on ferroptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes after hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R),and to analyze its mechanism.Methods Using H9c2 cardiomyocytes as the research object,a H/R injury model was established using cobalt chloride(CoCl2)and fresh culture medium.The cells were divided into control group,H/R group,H/R+miR-486-5P mimic NC group,H/R+miR-486-5P mimic group,H/R+miR-486-5P inhibitor NC group and H/R+miR-486-5P inhibitor group.The relative expression level of miR-486-5P was detected by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method.The activities or levels of lactate dehydrogen-ase(LDH),glutathione(GSH),Fe2+and malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected by colorimetric method.The levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)were detected by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe and JC-1 assay,respectively.Western blot was used to detect the levels of AkT/mTOR signaling pathway proteins and ferroptosis related protein solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11),glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)and acyl-coa synthetase long chain family member 4(ACSL4).Results Compared with the control group,the level of miR-486-5P and cell viability in the H/R group de-creased significantly(P＜0.05),while LDH activity,MDA,Fe2+level,ROS level and ACSL4 protein level in-creased significantly(P＜0.05).The GSH,MMP,SLC7A11 and GPX4 levels and p-Akt/Akt and p-mTOR/mTOR ratios were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).After H/R treatment,compared with the H/R+miR-486-5P mimic NC group,the cell viability of the H/R+miR-486-5P mimic group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).The LDH activity,MDA,Fe2+level,ROS level and ACSL4 protein level were significantly de-creased(P＜0.05),while GSH,MMP,SLC7A11 and GPX4 levels and p-Akt/Akt and p-mTOR/mTOR ratios were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the H/R+miR-486-5P inhibitor NC group,the trend of the above indicators in the H/R+miR-486-5P inhibitor group was opposite.Conclusion miR-486-5P allevi-ates hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced ferroptosis in H9c2 cells by regulating Akt/mTOR signaling pathway,and thus alleviates hypoxia/reoxygenation induced cardiomyocyte injury.

Acupuncture treatment of chronic pain combined with depression (CPDC) is the result of a multi-target, multi-pathway approach. Acupuncture can treat CPDC by inhibiting the activation of glial cells, regulating the release of inflammatory mediators, regulating the expressions of neurotransmitters, changing the plasticity of neural synapses, regulating related epigenetic effects, regulating the microbiota-brain-gut axis, inhibiting nerve cell apoptosis, and antagonizing oxidative stress. The mechanism of its effect mainly involves anti-inflammatory related signaling pathways, regulation of neural synapse-related signaling pathways, and exerts its therapeutic effect through hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and amygdala.

This study investigated the effects of bile duct ligation(BDL)-induced liver injury on the function and expression of organic cation transporter 1/2(OCT1/2)at blood brain barrier(BBB)and their potential mechanisms.BDL rat model was constructed,and physiological and biochemical parameters,BBB integrity,cortical OCT1/2 protein expression and function,and plasma chenodeoxycholic acid(CDCA)level were then examined by kits,Western blot,and LC-MS.Physiological and biochemical parameters,plasma bile acid levels,and cortical OCT1/2 protein expression were determined in rats after ig administration of CDCA for 14 d.The results showed that serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)levels increased,plasma CDCA level increased,the brain-to-blood concentration ratio(Kp)of amantadine decreased,while cortical Claudin-5 and Occludin did not significantly change,OCT1 expression was downregulated,while OCT2 did not significantly change in BDL rats.Serum AST,ALT,and ALP levels did not significantly change,plasma CDCA level increased,cortical OCT1 expression was downregulated,and OCT2 did not significantly change in rats after ig administration of CDCA.This study suggests that downregulation of OCT1 function and expression at BBB of BDL rats is related to elevated CDCA in plasma.

Objective To investigate the value of short diameter of lymph nodes combined with neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR)in evaluating lymph node metastasis of cervical cancer by enhanced CT.Methods A total of 82 patients with cervical cancer were selected and divided into metastatic group(n=13)and non-metastatic group(n=69)according to whether lymph node metas-tasis occurred.The clinicopathological features of the two groups were compared,and the relationship between NLR and clinicopath-ology was analyzed.Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of lymph node metastasis of cervical cancer.The short diameter of lymph nodes and serum NLR were compared between the two groups.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,DeLong test and compare the area under the curve(AUC)analysis was used to evaluate the value of lymph node metastasis in cervical cancer.The diagnostic efficacy of the above indexes were compared between the two groups.Results The short diameter of lymph nodes and NLR in the metastatic group were(0.686±0.120)cm and 2.23±0.41 respectively,while thosein the non-metastatic group were(0.602±0.106)cm and 1.76±0.30 respectively.The difference between the two groups was statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.05);There was no significant difference in age,growth pattern and vascular infiltration between the metastatic group and the non-metastatic group(P＞0.05).There were significant differences in clinical stage,maximum diameter of tumor,NLR and short diameter of enhanced CT lymph nodes(P＜0.05);The NLR was related to clinical stage,pelvic lymph node metastasis,and the short diameter of lymph nodes on enhanced CT scan(P＜0.05);Clinical stage Ⅲ,maximum diameter of tumor≥4 cm,NLR＞1.80 and short diameter of enhanced CT lymph nodes≥0.632 cm were independent risk factors for cervical cancer lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05);The ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the combined detection of cervical cancer was 0.871,higher than that of the enhanced CT lymph nodes short diameter and serum NLR(0.645,0.795),and its specificity was better than that of the independent detection.The best cutoff values of the enhanced CT lymph nodes short diameter and serum NLR were 0.630 cm and 1.91,respectively.Conclusion The short diameter of lymph nodes and the serum NLR can predict lymph node metastasis of cervical cancer,and the combined detection can improve the evaluation efficiency.
