Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a medical condition characterized by cardiac remodeling and dysfunction in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and mitochondrial Ca²⁺ overload in cardiomyocytes have been recognized as biological hallmarks in DCM; however, the specific factors underlying these abnormalities remain largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of a cardiac-specific long noncoding RNA, D830005E20Rik (Trdn-as), in DCM. Our results revealed the remarkably upregulation of Trdn-as in the hearts of the DCM mice and cardiomyocytes treated with high glucose (HG). Knocking down Trdn-as in cardiac tissues significantly improved cardiac dysfunction and remodeling in the DCM mice. Conversely, Trdn-as overexpression resulted in cardiac damage resembling that observed in the DCM mice. At the cellular level, Trdn-as induced Ca²⁺ overload in the SR and mitochondria, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. RNA-seq and bioinformatics analyses identified calsequestrin 2 (Casq2), a primary calcium-binding protein in the junctional SR, as a potential target of Trdn-as. Further investigations revealed that Trdn-as facilitated the recruitment of METTL14 to the Casq2 mRNA, thereby enhancing the m⁶A modification of Casq2. This modification increased the stability of Casq2 mRNA and subsequently led to increased protein expression. When Casq2 was knocked down, the promoting effects of Trdn-as on Ca²⁺ overload and mitochondrial damage were mitigated. These findings provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of DCM and suggest Trdn-as as a potential therapeutic target for this condition.

Objective To observe the application effect of a quantitative nursing management program in the operating room constructed based on risk assessment strategies for patients with osteochondroma. Methods Thirty patients who underwent osteochondroma surgery from July 2021 to June 2022 at Suqian Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University were set as control group (receiving conventional nursing management), and 30 patients who underwent osteochondroma surgery from July 2022 to June 2023 were set as study group (receiving quantitative nursing management centered on risk assessment strategies). The perioperative indicators, psychological stress status, self-care ability, quality of life, and complication occurrence were compared between the two groups. Results The recovery time of gastrointestinal function, postoperative anal exhaust time, and hospital stay in the study group were (0.72±0.12), (1.71±0.32), and (21.32±3.47) days, respectively, which were shorter than (1.04±0.28), (2.02±0.42), and (28.02±4.02) days in the control group (P < 0.05). After nursing, the scores of the Self-rating Depression Scale and Self-rating Anxiety Scale in the study group were (36.87±5.64) and (32.42±6.82), respectively, which were lower than those (45.24±6.32) and (48.33±6.56) in the control group (P < 0.05). After nursing, the total scores of the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA) and SF-36 Scale in the study group were (142.87±15.62) and (86.42±7.28), respectively, which were higher than (125.42±16.32) and (78.33±8.56) in the control group (P < 0.05). The total complication rate in the study group was 6.67%, which was lower than 26.67% in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The quantitative nursing management program in the operating room constructed centered on risk assessment strategies can effectively improve the postoperative recovery effect of patients with osteochondroma, relieve psychological stress responses, enhance self-care ability and quality of life, and reduce the occurrence of complications.

Objective:To examine the potential of combining the blood urea nitrogen(BUN)/albumin(ALB)ratio(BAR)with soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2(sST2)as an early warning indicator for myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis in the emergency intensive care unit(EICU).Methods:The clinical data of elderly patients with sepsis admitted to the EICU of the Emergency Medicine Department at Harrison International Peace Hospital of Hebei Medical University from August 2018 to August 2022 were prospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of myocardial injury: the myocardial injury group and the non-myocardial injury group.The general clinical data and laboratory indexes of the two groups were compared, and the BAR was calculated.The correlation between BAR and myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis was analyzed.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis in the EICU.MedCalc software was employed to determine the early warning value of the combined sST2 and BAR for myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis in the EICU.Results:A total of 165 cases were analyzed, with 106 cases(64.24%)showing myocardial injury.It was found that elderly sepsis patients with lung and abdominal infection were more likely to experience myocardial injury( P<0.05 for all).In comparison to the group without myocardial injury, the levels of inflammatory markers such as white blood cell count(WBC), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR), lactic acid, and procalcitonin(PCT), as well as combined markers BAR and sST2, were higher in elderly sepsis patients with myocardial injury upon admission.Correlation analysis results revealed significant positive correlations between BAR and lactic acid, PCT, and C-reactive protein(CRP)within 24 hours of admission to EICU in elderly sepsis patients with myocardial injury.Among these correlations, the strongest was observed between BAR and PCT( r=0.417, P<0.001).Additionally, BAR exhibited a positive correlation with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation scoring system(APACHEⅡ)scores( r=0.241, P=0.002).Furthermore, BAR showed positive correlations with myocardial injury markers sST2 and cTnI( r=0.327, 0.307, P<0.05 for all).Logistic regression analysis revealed that septic shock( OR=2.406, P=0.008), decreased left ventricular ejection fraction(EF)( OR=0.939, P=0.015), BAR( OR=2.205, P=0.044), lactic acid( OR=1.137, P=0.014), and sST2 elevation( OR=1.016, P=0.020)were identified as independent risk factors for predicting myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis.The results of ROC analysis indicated that BAR had a high early warning value for the occurrence of myocardial injury in elderly patients with EICU sepsis[area under curve(AUC)0.651, P<0.05], with an optimal cut-off value of 0.32(sensitivity 77.4%, specificity 60.2%).Furthermore, the combined detection of BAR and sST2 demonstrated a higher early warning value for the occurrence of myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis(AUC 0.697, P<0.05).The mortality rate of patients with myocardial injury below a cut-off value of 0.32 was 36.00%(9/25), while the mortality rate of patients with myocardial injury equal to or above 0.32 was 66.67%(54/81).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant( χ2=8.624, P=0.003). Conclusions:Both BAR and sST2 are considered independent risk factors for myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis.The combined detection of BAR and sST2 provides a more accurate prediction for the occurrence of myocardial injury in these patients.

Objective:To explore the association between cardiovascular health behaviors and hyperuricemia (HUA) among community residents of different age groups.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 2 138 community residents aged (47.1±11.6) years with 1 012 males (47.3%) were selected by cluster sampling method as study subjects in Taiyuan Nanzhai Community from March to November 2020. There were 104 cases aged 8-18 years (underage group), 868 cases aged 19-44 years (youth group), 625 cases aged 45-59 years (middle-aged group), 375 cases aged 60-74 years (young elderly group), and 166 cases aged≥75 years (elderly group). Blood uric acid was measured and>420 μmol/L was defined as HUA, there were 385 cases with high uric acid level (HUA group) and 1 753 cases with normal uric acid levels (control group). The general information was collected by questionnaires, and general ergonomic indicators were measured on-site by medical personnel. The cardiovascular health behaviors included smoking, exercise, diet, and sleep in study subjects were documented. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of HUA.Results:Among 2 138 participants, 1 161 (54.3%) had never smoked (up to standard), and the order of proportion of non-smokers from high to low was underage group, elderly group, young elderly group, young group and middle-aged group ( P<0.001); 486(22.7%) people met the dietary standards, and the order of proportion of meeting the dietary standards from high to low was underage group, elderly group, young elderly group, middle-aged group, and young group ( P<0.001); 554(25.9%) people achieved physical fitness standards, and the order of the proportion of achieving physical fitness standards from high to low was young elderly group, middle-aged group, elderly group, underage group, and young group ( P<0.001); 783 (36.6%) people met the sleep standards, and the order of proportion meeting the sleep standards from high to low was underage group, youth group, middle-aged group, young elderly group, and elderly group ( P<0.001). Among the participants, only 39 (1.8%) met the standards for all 4 types of behaviors; 485 (22.7%), 1 229 (57.5%), and 424 (19.8%) had low, medium, and high total scores for ideal cardiovascular health behaviors, respectively. The total score of ideal cardiovascular health behaviors ranked from high to low was elderly group, young elderly group, underage group, middle-aged group, and young group ( P<0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index (BMI) ( OR=1.125, 95% CI: 1.086-1.165) was positively correlated with HUA, while female ( OR=0.241, 95% CI: 0.182-0.320), total score of cardiovascular health behaviors (compared to lower level, intermediate level: OR=0.186, 95% CI: 0.127-0.273, high level: OR=0.038, 95% CI: 0.020-0.072), and number of achieved healthy behavior items ( OR=0.757, 95% CI: 0.621-0.922) were negatively correlated with HUA. Conclusions:The underage group has the highest number of people who meet the smoking, dietary, and sleep standards, the young and elderly group has the highest number of people who meet the exercise standards, and the elderly group has the highest total score for ideal cardiovascular health behaviors. There is a positive correlation between BMI and HUA, while there is a negative correlation of HUA with female, the total score and number of achieved items of cardiovascular health behaviors.
