ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Kangxian Yixin prescription regulates the circular RNA 0006719 （circ0006719）/microRNA 6852-5p （miR-6852-5p）/transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁）/Smad axis to ameliorate myocardial fibrosis in rats with dilated cardiomyopathy （DCM） and angiotensin Ⅱ （Ang Ⅱ）-induced activation of cardiac fibroblasts （CFs）. MethodsA DCM rat model was established by administration of furazolidone. The rats were divided into normal group， model group， captopril （CAP， 10.1 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） group， and low-， medium-， and high-dose Kangxian Yixin prescription groups （0.9， 1.8， 3.6 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， with 15 rats in each group. After modeling， the treatment groups received corresponding drug solutions by gavage， whereas the normal and model groups received an equal volume of normal saline for 60 consecutive days. Echocardiography was used to measure left ventricular end-systolic diameter （LVESD）， left ventricular end-diastolic diameter （LVEDD）， left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， and left ventricular fractional shortening （LVFS）. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM）， hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and Masson staining were used to observe myocardial ultrastructure， pathological changes， and collagen deposition. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was used to detect the protein expression of collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1 （Col1A1） and collagen type Ⅲ（Col Ⅲ） in myocardial tissue. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， Western blot， and fluorescence in situ hybridization （FISH） were used to detect the expression and localization of circ0006719， miR-6852-5p， fibrosis-related molecules， and TGF-β₁/Smad pathway-related molecules in myocardial tissue and CFs. CFs from neonatal rats were isolated and cultured in vitro. Cell Counting Kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was used to determine the optimal concentration of Kangxian Yixin prescription for subsequent intervention. An Ang Ⅱ-induced CF activation model was established， and the cells were divided into normal group， Ang Ⅱ group， Ang Ⅱ+CAP group， Ang Ⅱ+Kangxian Yixin prescription group， and Ang Ⅱ+Kangxian Yixin prescription+miR-6852-5p inhibitor group. CF viability and fibrosis-related molecular expression were detected. RNA immunoprecipitation （RNA IP） and dual-luciferase reporter assays were used to verify the targeting relationship between circ0006719 and miR-6852-5p. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed significantly increased LVESD and LVEDD， significantly decreased LVEF and LVFS， aggravated myocardial ultrastructural and histopathological injury， and significantly increased collagen volume fraction （CVF） in myocardial tissue （P<0.01）. The expression of circ0006719， Col1A1 mRNA， Col ⅢmRNA， and Col1A1， Col Ⅲ， TGF-β₁， Smad3， and Smad4 proteins in myocardial tissue was significantly upregulated， whereas miR-6852-5p expression and Smad7 protein expression were significantly downregulated （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the CAP group and the high- and medium-dose Kangxian Yixin prescription groups showed varying degrees of improvement in cardiac function， myocardial fibrosis， circ0006719/miR-6852-5p expression， and TGF-β₁/Smad pathway-related indicators， with more pronounced improvements in the CAP group and the high-dose Kangxian Yixin prescription group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In in vitro experiments， 2.0 g·L^-1 was determined as the optimal concentration of Kangxian Yixin prescription for subsequent intervention. Compared with the normal group， the Ang Ⅱ group showed significantly increased CF viability， significantly upregulated expression of circ0006719， Col1A1 mRNA， α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） mRNA， and Col1A1， α-SMA， TGF-β₁， Smad3， and Smad4 proteins in CFs， and significantly downregulated miR-6852-5p expression and Smad7 protein expression （P<0.01）. Compared with the Ang Ⅱ group， the Ang Ⅱ+CAP group and the Ang Ⅱ+Kangxian Yixin prescription group showed markedly decreased CF viability and fibrosis-related mRNA and protein expression， markedly increased miR-6852-5p expression， and markedly attenuated TGF-β₁/Smad pathway activation （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the Ang Ⅱ+Kangxian Yixin prescription group， the Ang Ⅱ+Kangxian Yixin prescription+miR-6852-5p inhibitor group showed significantly increased CF viability （P<0.01）， markedly increased expression of circ0006719， Col1A1 mRNA， and Col1A1， TGF-β₁， and Smad4 proteins in CFs， and markedly decreased miR-6852-5p expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. RNA IP and dual-luciferase reporter assays showed a targeting binding relationship between circ0006719 and miR-6852-5p （P<0.01）. ConclusionKangxian Yixin prescription may alleviate myocardial collagen deposition and myocardial fibrosis， improve cardiac function in DCM rats， and inhibit Ang Ⅱ-induced abnormal activation of CFs. Its mechanism may be associated with downregulation of circ0006719， restoration of miR-6852-5p expression， and inhibition of the TGF-β₁/Smad pathway.

The problems caused by proximal contact loss(PCL)of dental implants have been a mainstream research topic in recent years,and scholars are unanimously committed to analyzing their causes and related factors,aiming to identify solutions to the problems related to PCL.The effects of the anterior component of force(ACF),the lifelong re-molding of the adult craniofacial jaw and alveolar socket,and the osseointegration characteristics of dental implants are the main causes of PCL.On the one hand,the closing movement of the mandible causes the ACF of the tooth to move through the posterior molar cusp.Moreover,drifting between the upper and lower posterior teeth and mandibular anteri-or teeth can cause the anterior teeth of the upper and lower jaws to be displaced labially.On the other hand,reconstruc-tion of the jaw,alveolar socket and tooth root,the forward horizontal force of the masticatory muscles,the dynamic com-ponent of the jaw and the forward force generated by the oblique plane of the tooth cusp can cause the natural tooth to experience near-middle drift.Additionally,natural teeth can shift horizontally and vertically and rotate to accommodate remodeling of the stomatognathic system and maintain oral function.Nevertheless,the lack of a natural periodontal mem-brane during implant osseointegration,the lack of a physiological basis for near-medium drift,the small average degree of vertical motion and the integrated silence of dental implants without the overall drift characteristics of natural teeth increases the probability of PCL.The high incidence of PCL is clearly associated with the duration of prosthesis delivery and the mesial position;but it is also affected by the magnitude of the bite force,occlusion,the adjacent teeth,restora-tion design,implant location,jaw,and patient age and sex.PCL has shown a significant correlation with food impaction,but not a one-to-one correspondence,and did not meet the necessary and sufficient conditions.PCL is also associated with peri-implant lesions as well as dental caries.PCL prevention included informed consent,regular examinations,se-lection of retention options,point of contact enhancement,occlusal splints,and the application of multipurpose digital crowns.Management of the PCL includes adjacent contact point additions,orthodontic traction,and occlusal adjust-ment.Existing methods can solve the problem of food impaction in the short term with comprehensive intervention to seek stable,long-term effects.Symmetric and balanced considerations will expand the treatment of issues caused by PCL.

Objective:To study the correlation between spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and increased intracranial pressure.Methods:Clinical data of patients with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Provincial Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2019 to December 2023 and their epidemiology, clinical symptoms and signs, preoperative cerebrospinal fluid pressure, imaging data, leakage site, repair method and the presence or absebce of increased intracranial pressure were analysed. SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:Of the 57 patients with cerebrospinal fluid nasolacrimal leakage, 84.2%(48/57) were females and 15.8%(9/57) were males; 80.7%(46/57) were between 40 and 60 years old; and overweight and obese patients accounted for 75.4%(43/57). Of 57 patients, 35 patients received cranial MRI+magnetic resonance venography, and among them, 12(34.3%) patients were clinically with headache symptoms; the incidences of empty pterygoid and venous sinus stenosis were 40.0%(14/35) and 51.4%(18/35), respectively; and 33 patients underwent preoperative lumbar puncture examination, of whom 25(75.8%) patients had the increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure and 1 patient had idiopathic intracranial hypertension. All 57 patients underwent dural repair of the skull base, the postoperative follow-up period ranged from 3 to 60 months, and the success rate of surgery was 94.7%. The success rate was 100% in female patients and 33.3%(3/9) in male patients, including one with surgical failure receiving reoperation and two with postoperative recurrence in other areas of the skull base, with significant difference in the success rate of surgery between males and females (χ 2=16.890, P<0.001). Conclusions:Most patients with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea have the increased cerebrospinal fluid pressures, but very few fulfil the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The success rate of surgical repair alone is high, but some recurrences still exist, especially in male patients.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is still an incurable hematologic malignancy, which is eagerly to the discovery of novel therapeutic targets and methods. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is the first reported regulator of mRNA acetylation that is activated in many cancers. However, the function of NAT10 in MM remains unclear. We found significant upregulation of NAT10 in MM patients compared to normal plasma cells, which was also highly correlated with MM poor outcome. Further enforced NAT10 expression promoted MM growth in vitro and in vivo, while knockdown of NAT10 reversed those effects. The correlation analysis of acetylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (acRIP-seq) and ribosome profiling sequencing (Ribo-seq) combined with RIP-PCR tests identified centrosomal protein 170 (CEP170) as an important downstream target of NAT10. Interfering CEP170 expression in NAT10-OE cells attenuated the acceleration of cellular growth caused by elevated NAT10. Moreover, CEP170 overexpression promoted cellular proliferation and chromosomal instability (CIN) in MM. Intriguingly, remodelin, a selective NAT10 inhibitor, suppressed MM cellular growth, induced cellular apoptosis in vitro and prolonged the survival of 5TMM3VT mice in vivo. Collectively, our data indicate that NAT10 acetylates CEP1 70 mRNA to enhance CEP170 translation efficiency, which suggests that NAT10 may serve as a promising therapeutic target in MM.

Objective:To construct an Internet + linkage model based on medical alliance and evaluate its implementation effect.Methods:From October 2020 to June 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 132 patients with malignant tumors who were treated with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) chemotherapy and discharged with catheters in Chongming Branch of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. The 67 patients who returned to the PICC outpatient clinic of Chongming Branch, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine during the treatment interval for PICC maintenance were set as the control group, and the routine maintenance method was adopted. A total of 65 patients who chose maintenance points near their residence for PICC maintenance during the treatment interval were set as the observation group. On the basis of the control group, the maintenance method based on the Internet + linkage mode of medical alliance was adopted. The PICC self-management ability, catheter-carrying satisfaction, PICC complication, average cost and average time spent on PICC maintenance during treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in the scores of daily life with catheters, exercise with catheters, catheter abnormality handling, compliance with catheter maintenance and confidence in catheter management between the two groups ( P>0.05) . There was no significant difference in the scores of Catheter Satisfaction Survey in the two groups of patients ( P>0.05) .There was also no significant difference in the incidence of PICC complications between the two groups ( P>0.05) . The registration fee, maintenance fee, and transportation fee for PICC maintenance in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the round-trip time and visit time were shorter than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The Internet + linkage model based on the medical alliance can ensure the quality of PICC maintenance for patients with malignant tumors undergoing PICC chemotherapy and discharged with catheters, and improve their PICC self-management ability, which has good economic and time benefits.

Objective:To investigate the situation related to HIV infection and influencing factors of traceability efficiency among sex partners of HIV positive men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the traceability among sex partners of HIV-positive MSM in Ningbo from 2018 to 2020. Limiting-antigen avidity enzyme immunoassay determined recent HIV infection. The classified data was evaluated by chi-square test, and factors of traceability efficiency were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:A total of 374 newly confirmed HIV-positive MSM were recruited to participate in the HIV test in Ningbo from 2018 to 2020.HIV positive rate of sex partner was 15.7% (75/479,95% CI:12.4%-18.9%). HIV positive rates of sex partner of recent HIV infection MSM was 31.8% (21/66,95% CI:20.3%-43.4%). The proportion of newly confirmed HIV-positive sex partners of recent HIV infection MSM (76.2%) was higher than that of long-term HIV infection MSM (48.1%). The difference was statistically significant ( P=0.028). Results from the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HIV traceability efficiency was higher in the following subpopulations as; HIV positive MSM who were 36-45 years old (compared with 18-25 years old, OR=3.973,95% CI:1.364-11.569), HIV active detection (compared with HIV passive detection, OR=1.896, 95% CI:1.083-3.319), recent HIV infection MSM (compared with long-term HIV infection MSM, OR=3.733, 95% CI:1.844-7.556). Conclusions:HIV positive rate among partners of HIV positive MSM was very high. The traceability efficiency, which was recent HIV infection MSM and HIV active detection, was high. It is suggested to strengthen the traceability and focus on the newly confirmed HIV-positive MSM in VCT clinics.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence, risk factors and outcomes of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) in multiparas after the second delivery.Methods:From June 2017 to September 2019, 300 multiparas with an average age of (31.7±4.0) years (26 to 43 years) after the second delivery were recruited at 6 weeks postpartum from two hospitals in Wenzhou. There were 171 multiparas with two natural births,36 multiparas with one natural birth and one caesarean delivery, and 93 multiparas with two caesarean deliveries. The interrectus distance (IRD) was measured with palpation at 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months after delivery. Data on age, height, weight before pregnancy and delivery, baby′s birth weight, abdominal circumference before pregnancy and delivery, fetus number, delivery mode and occupation type were collected. Strength and endurance of abdominal muscle was assessed using manual muscle testing and curl-ups, low back pain was assessed using Oswestry disability index(ODI), urinary incontinence was assessed with International Consultation on Incontinence guestionnaire-incontinentia urinae (ICIQ-UI) short form (ICIQ-SF), and quality of life was assessed using 36-item short form health survey (SF-36).Results:Prevalence of DRA was 51.7%(155/300), 39.3%(116/295) and 27.7%(80/289) 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months after delivery, respectively. Logistic regression analysis indicated that age ( OR=1.39, 95 %CI:1.02-1.91, P=0.38), abdominal circumference ratio ( OR=2.31, 95 %CI:1.23-4.33, P=0.01), twins ( OR=11.41, 95 %CI:2.15-60.76, P<0.01), and cesarean section ( OR=1.44, 95 %CI:1.06-1.95, P=0.02) were the risk factors of DRA at 12 months after delivery. At 12 months after delivery, the multiparas with DRA had weaker strength and endurance of abdominal muscle ( Z=-3.62, P<0.01; Z=-8.91, P<0.01), more serious low back pain ( Z=-2.10, P=0.04), and lower quality of life on physical health ( t=-3.34, P<0.01) than the multiparas without DRA. No difference in prevalence and severity of urinary incontinence and quality of life on psychological health was found when comparing multiparas with and without DRA (χ 2=0.66, P=0.42; Z=-1.18, P=0.24; t=0.91, P=0.36). Conclusion:Multipara after the second delivery has great likelihood for DRA.Age, abdominal circumference ratio, twins, and cesarean section are the risk factors of DRA. DRA is related to abdominal muscle dysfunction, low back pain, and quality of life.

Objective To analyze the situation of HIV infection and its influencing factors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Wuxi city, 2016-2019, and to provide evidence for prevention and control of HIV infections in MSM. Methods Snowball sampling and online methods were used to recruit subjects, and a face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted among MSM by professionally trained investigators. Blood samples were collected for HIV tests. Results A total of 1 451 MSM were recruited in this study. The awareness rate of AIDS related knowledge was 93.52%. The positive rate of HIV was 5.86%. The analysis of demographic characteristics showed that the differences between different age groups (χ²=18.81, P<0.05), and different sexual orientations (χ²=28.84, P<0.05) were statistically significant. Analysis of high-risk behaviors showed that in the last 6 months, whether MSM had anal homosexual behavior (χ²=12.63, P<0.05), whether MSM had commercial anal homosexual behavior (=10.15, P<0.05), and whether MSM had heterosexual behavior (χ²=33.15, P<0.05) all had significant differences. There was no statistically significant difference in the positive rate of HIV antibody detection (P>0.05) for other factors. Conclusion It is necessary to strengthen health education and intervention measures among MSM.
