To analyze the relationship between serum non-HDL-C levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in community populations. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Yuecheng District Health Information Platform in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. The study cohort included individuals aged 40 years or older with no prior history of CVD who underwent physical examinations at Yuecheng District healthcare institutions between January and December 2019. A total of 39 038 participants were included, including 19 085 males (48.9%) and 19 953 females (51.1%), with a mean age of (73.64±9.10) years. The mean follow-up duration was 52.3 months. During follow-up, 1 227 CVD death events occurred. The results indicated a significant overall association between non-HDL-C levels and the risk of CVD mortality, including coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. Cox models indicated that, using the ideal level of non-HDL-C as the reference, the hazard ratios (HRs) for risk of CVD death in the suitable level, borderline elevated level and elevated level groups were 1.24 (95% CI: 1.08-1.42), 1.57 (95% CI: 1.34-1.85) and 2.31 (95% CI: 1.87-2.86), respectively. The corresponding HRs for CHD death were 1.39 (95% CI: 1.10-1.76), 1.69 (95% CI: 1.28-2.12) and 2.53 (95% CI: 1.76-3.64), respectively. Subgroup analysis revealed significant interaction effects between non-HDL-C and sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, and diabetes (all P interaction<0.05). Sensitivity analyses confirmed that results were consistent with the primary findings regarding the association between non-HDL-C and CVD mortality risk. In conclusion, increasing non-HDL-C levels are associated with higher risks of death from cardiovascular diseases, including stroke and CHD. The risk of CVD death associated with elevated non-HDL-C is greater among males, individuals with a history of diabetes, smokers or drinkers. In the future, attention should be paid to the monitoring of non-HDL-C in community health management, and the intensive and personalized management of blood lipids in high-risk population should be strengthened.

Objective To explore the effect of glioma stem cells with high expression of protein tyrosin phosphatase receptor type Z1 (PTPRZ1 )on the phenotypic polarization and phagocytosis of tumor-associated macrophages and its regulatory mechanism.Methods GSCs and non-stem tumor cells (NSTCs) were screened out from human glioblastoma (GBM) specimens using flow cytometry,and the PTPRZ1 expression in paired GSCs and NSTCs were detected.Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)-derived CD14+monocytes were exposed to the conditioned medium from glioma cells or recombinant chemokine C-C motif ligand 20 (CCL20)for TAM polarization.Stable PTPRZ1 knockout GSCs (PTPRZ1-KO GSCs) were constructed using CRISPR/Cas9. TAM phagocytosis to GSCs,NSTCs,PTPRZ1-Control GSCs (PTPRZ1-Ctrl GSCs)and PTPRZ1-KO GSCs and the expression of immunosuppressive phenotype (M2) polarization marker CD163 were examined using flow cytometry.Differentially expressed genes (DEGs ) between paired GSCs and NSTCs were determined using a bulk RNA-sequencing dataset (GSE54791 )from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).A gene set informing worse outcome of patients with GBM was generated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-GBM cohort.By intersecting the aforementioned gene set with the gene set that encodes for human membrance proteins,the PTPRZ1 gene is obtained.Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA)was used for pathway enrichment analysis to compare the differentially regulated pathways between GBMs with high or low PTPRZ1 expression.Bulk RNA sequencing,qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to identify the DEGs between PTPRZ1-KO GSCs and PTPRZ1-Ctrl GSCs.Results GSCs were more capable of escaping from TAM phagocytosis than NSTCs (P<0.05 )and had specifically up-regulated PTPRZ1 expression.PTPRZ1-KO significantly suppressed GSCs escaping from TAM phagocytosis (P<0.01 ). GBMs with high PTPRZ1 expression showed significant inhibition of pathways mediating phagocytosis (P<0.05).The expression of CCL20 as a M2 TAM polarization chemokine was significantly down-regulated in PTPRZ1-KO GSCs (P<0.05 ).Treatment with recombinant CCL20 up-regulated the expression of CD163 as a M2 TAM marker in TAM.Conclusion PTPRZ1+GSCs mediate M2 TAM polarization and inhibit TAM phagocytosis,which may be related to the up-regulation of CCL20 in PTPRZ1+GSCs.

Objective:Type H blood vessels are a subtype of bone-specific microvessels(CD31hiEmcnhi)that play an important regulatory role in the coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis.Despite reports on the distinct roles of type H and L vessels under physiological and pathological bone conditions,their genetic differences remain to be elucidated.This study aims to construct a competitive endogenous RNA(ceRNA)network of key gene for differencial expression(DE)in type H and L vascular endothelial cells(ECs)through integrated bioinformatic methods. Methods:We downloaded relevant raw data from the ArrayExpress and the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database and used the Limma R-Bioconductor package to screen for DE lncRNAs,DE miRNAs,and DE mRNAs between type H and L vascular ECs.A total ceRNA network was constructed based on their interactions,followed by refinement using protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks to select upregulated and downregulated key genes.Enrichment analysis was performed on these key genes.Random validation was conducted using flow cytometry and real-time RT-PCR. Results:A total of 1 761 DE mRNAs,187 DE lncRNAs,and 159 DE miRNAs were identified,and a comprehensive ceRNA network was constructed based on their interactions.Six upregulated(Itga5,Kdr,Tjp1,Pecam1,Cdh5,and Ptk2)and 2 downregulated(Csf1r and Il10)key genes were selected via PPI network to construct a subnetwork of ceRNAs related to these key genes.Upregulated key genes were mainly enriched in negative regulation of angiogenesis and vascular apoptosis.Results from flow cytometry and real-time RT-PCR were consistent with bioinformatics analysis. Conclusion:This study proposes a ceRNA network associated with upregulated and downregulated type H and L vascular ECs based on selected key genes,providing new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of type H and L vascular ECs in bone metabolism.

Chest trauma is one of the most common injuries. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a common complication of chest trauma seriously affects the quality of patients′ life and even leads to death. Although there are some consensus and guidelines on the prevention and treatment of VTE at home and abroad, the current literatures lack specificity considering the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of VTE in patients with chest trauma have their own characteristics, especially for those with blunt trauma. Accordingly, China Chest Injury Research Society and editorial board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology organized relevant domestic experts to jointly formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of chest trauma venous thromboembolism associated with chest trauma (2022 version). This consensus provides expert recommendations of different levels as academic guidance in terms of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chest trauma-related VTE, so as to offer a reference for clinical application.

Objective To explore the optimal radiotherapy method by comparing the dosimetric differences of target and organs at risk of four radiotherapy plans for left sided breast cancerafter breast-conserving surgery. Methods Twenty-three patients with left breast cancer were randomly selected and given PTV 25 fractions, 50 Gy prescription dose.TheHybrid_IMRT, rj_IMRT, VMAT and t_VMAT plans were designed for each patients. Dosimetric differences were compared, including dose volume histograms of target and OARs, target homogeneity indexes (HI), conformal indexes (CI) and the machine MUs. Results Target Dosimetric comparison, HI: t_VMAT plan target has highest HI and had significant difference (P ≤ 0.001); The target CI of VMAT plans were 0.967 ± 0.016, had significant difference compared with the other 3 plans (P < 0.05). The CI of rj_ IMRT were 0.942 ± 0.018 better than that of IMRT and t_VMATs. Dosimetric comparison of OARs, left_lung mean dose (MLD_L): rj_IMRT were (8.76 ± 1.52) Gy which were best of 4 plans, and had statistical significance (P < 0.05). Heart mean dose: rj_IMRT were (4.68 ± 0.87) Gy were better than that of VMAT (P < 0.05). Conclusion All of these four plans could be applied in clinical treatments, while the limitations of treatment equipment, patients’ physical conditions and some other factors should be considered before selecting an appropriate one.
