OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of isorhamnetin on the development of gastric cancer through up-regulation of solute carrier family 25 member 25 antisense RNA 1(SLC25A25-AS1). METHODS Using BALB/c nude mice as the subjects, the xenograft tumor model was established by subcutaneously inoculating human gastric cancer MKN28 cells into the axillary region. The effects of low and high doses of isorhamnetin (20 and 40 mg/kg) on the tumor volume and mass in nude mice were investigated. MKN28 cells were selected and divided into control group, isorhamnetin group (70 μmol/L, similarly hereinafter), isorhamnetin+knocking down negative control group, isorhamnetin+knocking down SLC25A25-AS1 group, isorhamnetin+ overexpression negative control group and isorhamnetin+overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 group. Effects of knocking down/ overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 on viability, apoptosis, migration and invasion ability of isorhamnetin-treated cells were detected. After verifying the targeting relationships between microRNA-212-3p (miR-212-3p) and SLC25A25-AS1, as well as phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), the effects of knocking down/overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 on the expression of miR-212-3p, PTEN mRNA, and PTEN protein in isorhamnetin-treated cells were investigated. RESULTS Compared with the model control group, tumor volume and mass of nude mice in the isorhamnetin low-dose and high-dose groups were reduced significantly, and the isorhamnetin high-dose group was significantly lower than the isorhamnetin low-dose group (P<0.05). miR-212-3p had targeting relationships with SLC25A25-AS1 and PTEN. Compared with the control group, the cell viability (intervened for 24, 48 h), migration number, invasion number and miR-212-3p expression of cells in the isorhamnetin group, isorhamnetin+knocking down negative control group and isorhamnetin+overexpressing negative control group were significantly reduced or decreased or down-regulated, while the apoptosis rate, mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN were significantly increased or up-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with isorhamnetin group and isorhamnetin+knocking down negative control group, the cell viability, migration number, invasion number and miR-212-3p expression of cells in the isorhamnetin+knocking down SLC25A25-AS1 group were significantly increased or up- regulated, while the apoptosis rate, mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN were significantly reduced or down-regulated (P< 0.05). Compared with isorhamnetin group and isorhamnetin+overexpressing negative control group, the cell viability, migration number, invasion number and miR-212-3p expression of cells in isorhamnetin+overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 group were significantly reduced or decreased or down-regulated, while the apoptosis rate, PTEN mRNA and protein expressions were significantly increased or up-regulated (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Isorhamnetin may inhibit the development of gastric cancer by up-regulating the expression of SLC25A25-AS1, down-regulating miR-212-3p, and up-regulating the expression of PTEN, which is a downstream target of miR-212-3p.

Objective:
The main objective of this study was to analyze the efficacy and feasibility of surgical management for patients with thoracic spinal tuberculous spondylitis (STB) by using posterior-only transforaminal debridement and interbody fusion (PTDIF) with preservation of posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) and noninferior of PTDIF compared with conventional posterior-only debridement and interbody fusion (CPDIF).
Methods:
From January 2019 to January 2022, a prospective, randomized, controlled trial was conducted in which patients with thoracic STB were enrolled and assigned to undergo either the PTDIF group (group A) or CPDIF group (group B) in a 1:1 ratio. The clinical efficacy was evaluated on average operation time, blood loss, hospitalization durations, visual analogue scale, Oswestry Disability Index scores, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-Reactive protein (CRP), and neurological function recovery using the American Spinal Injury Association’s impairment scale and operative complications. Radiological measurements included kyphosis correction, loss of correction. The outcomes were compared between the groups at preoperation, postoperaion, and final follow-up.
Results:
All 65 patients were completely cured during the follow-up. The intraoperative blood loss and operation time in group B were more than that in group A. All patients were pain-free at the final follow-up visit. ESR, CRP returned to normal limits in all patients 3 months after surgery. All patients had improved neurological signs. No significant difference was found in kyphosis angle correction, loss of correction between the 2 groups.
Conclusion
PTDIF, with preservation of PLC, achieved debridement, decompression, and reconstruction of the spine’s stability, similar to CPDIF in the surgical treatment of thoracic STB. PTDIF has less surgical trauma with less intraoperative blood loss and operation time.

Objective To explore the characteristics of response inhibition of military university students during multitasking operation. Methods Repeated measures of ANOVA as well as distribution test were employed to explore how the performance of 127 military university students in Go/No-Go test was affected by simulated driving task. Results The test results of 127 participants showed that there was a interaction between the interference task and the Go trial proportion on the hit rate and false alarm rate,that is,no significant difference was observed between the 60% and 40% of trial proportion without interference task (both P>0.05),but the hit rate and false alarm rate in the 60% trial proportion condition were significantly higher than those in the 40% trial proportion condition under interference task (both P<0.01).In addition,significant main effects of interference task were observed on hit rate,false alarm rate,and discrimination index d' (all P<0.01),that is,the interference task reduced the hit rate and discrimination,but increased the false alarm rate.Moreover,individual differences existed in the discrimination index d' changes,and the participants were divided into easily disturbed group (n=23,18.11%),undisturbed group (n=20,15.75%),and intermediate group (n=84,66.14%) by adding or subtracting 1 standard deviation from the mean of the difference. Conclusion The interference tasks increase the psychological load of military university students during multitasking operation,and impair the response inhibition;and individual differences exist in response inhibition.

Objective:The effect of three-dimensional(3D)printed bone-attached guide plate assisted cannulated screw fixation of pelvic fracture is reliable,but extensive soft tissue dissection is still required when installing the guide plate.This study aims to compare the efficacy of posterior pelvic ring fracture fixation with iliosacral screw insertion between the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template and conventional fluoroscopy. Methods:From May,2019 and September 2021,28 patients sustained posterior pelvic ring fractures were randomized into 2 groups:A guide template group,in which the iliosacral screw was inserted for fixation of the posterior pelvic ring fracture with the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template,and a fluoroscopy group,in which the iliosacral screw was inserted under the guidance of conventional fluoroscopy.The operation time,fluoroscopic frequency,intraoperative blood loss,and incision length were recorded for each screw insertion.Fracture reduction was evaluated according to the Matta criteria.The screw position was evaluated according to the modified Gras classification,and the functional outcome was evaluated according to Majeed score.The parameters of both groups were compared,and statistical analysis was performed. Results:All the 28 patients were followed up for 12-24 months.Of them,15 iliosacral screws were inserted in 14 patients in the guide template group,and 14 iliosacral screws were inserted in 14 patients in the fluoroscopy group.The operation time,fluoroscopic frequency,screw deviation,incision length,and blood loss in the guide template group were 20-30(25.8±2.8)min,9-15(12.2±1.9),2-4(2.6±0.7)mm,4-5(4.6±0.5)cm,and 5-10(7.8±1.7)mL,respectively,whereas those in the fluoroscopy group were 30-60(48.1±7.5)min,40-96(64.7±16.3),3-6(4.2±0.9)mm,0.8-1.2(1.0±0.1)cm,and 2-5(3.1±1.3)mL,respectively,and there were statistical significance(all P<0.001).Fracture reduction was evaluated according to the Matta criteria,and all the patients reached excellence and good(P=0.584)in the 2 groups.According to modified Gras classification,there were 12 Grade Ⅰ screws,3 Grade Ⅱ screws,and 0 Grade Ⅲ screws in the guide template group,and 10 Grade Ⅰ screws,3 Grade Ⅱ screws,and 1 Grade Ⅲ screw in the fluoroscopy group,with no statistical significance(P=0.334).The functional outcome was evaluated according to Majeed score at the last follow-up,without significant difference between the guide template group and the fluoroscopy group(P=0.908). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional fluoroscopy,it would cost less operation time,less fluoroscopic frequency and increase more accurate screw insertion to fixate the posterior pelvic ring fracture with the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template.
