Objective A rat model of cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)was established by unilateral injection of a single dose of sodium laurate into the internal carotid artery.The effectiveness of the model was assessed by behavior scoring and analysis of serum-related indicators,cerebral infarction volume,cerebral microvascular density,hemodynamics,brain histopathology and the expression of blood-brain barrier(BBB)-related proteins.Methods SPF-grade male SD rats were divided randomly into a control group and a model group(n=6 per group).The model group received a single injection of 100 μL of sodium laurate(2 g/L)via the internal carotid artery,while the control group underwent the same surgical procedure but received an equal volume of saline.Neurobehavioral assessments were conducted using the Longa score and postural reflex test.Serum homocysteine(HCY)levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Cerebral infarction volume was detected by magnetic resonance imaging and changes in cerebral vascular density were observed by cerebrovascular imaging.The resistance index(RI)and perfusion index(PI)were measured by ultrasonography.Histopathological changes in brain tissue were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.Expression of the cerebral microvascular marker CD31 and tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin in brain cortex tissue were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results The Longa score,postural reflex score(P＜0.05),and cerebral infarction volume were significantly increased(P＜0.05)while the cerebral vascular density was decreased in the model group compared with the control group.Serum HCY levels,carotid RI,and PI values were all significantly increased in the model group(P＜0.05).HE staining revealed solidified neuronal nuclei and enlarged perivascular spaces in the brain cortex in the model group.Immunohistochemical staining revealed that CD31,ZO-1,and Occludin expression were significantly reduced in the brain cortex in the model group compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusions A rat model of CSVD can be established rapidly and effectively by a single unilateral injection of high-concentration sodium laurate via the internal carotid artery.This model is characterized by neurobehavioral abnormalities,cerebral infarction,insufficient cerebral blood supply,reduced vascular density,and disruption of the BBB,suggesting that it may serve as an effective rat model for the study of CSVD.

Cantharidin (CTD), a natural compound used to treat multiple tumors in the clinic setting, has been limited due to acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the major cause of AKI and its underlying mechanism remain to be elucidated. Serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were detected through pathological evaluation after CTD (1.5 mg/kg) oral gavage in mice in 3 days. Kidney lipidomics based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to investigate lipids disorder after CTD exposure in mice. Then, spatial metabolomics based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) was used to detect the kidney spatial distribution of lipids. Integrative analysis was performed to reveal the spatial lipid disorder mechanism and verify key lipids in vitro. The results showed that the levels of SCr and BUN were increased, and tubular necrosis was observed in mouse kidneys, resulting in acute tubular necrosis (ATN) in CTD-induced AKI. Then, lipidomics results revealed that after CTD exposure, 232 differential lipid metabolites and 11 pathways including glycerophospholipid (GP) and sphingolipid (SL) metabolism were disrupted. Spatial metabolomics revealed that 55 spatial differential lipid metabolites and nine metabolic pathways were disturbed. Subsequently, integrative analysis found that GP metabolism was stimulated in the renal cortex and medulla, whereas SL metabolism was inhibited in the renal cortex. Up-regulated lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC) (18:2(9Z,12Z)), LysoPC (16:0/0:0), glycerophosphocholine, and down-regulated sphingomyelin (SM) (d18:0/16:0), SM (d18:1/24:0), and SM (d42:1) were key differential lipids. Among them, LysoPC (16:0/0:0) was increased in the CTD group at 1.1196 μg/mL, which aggravated CTD-induced ATN in human kidney-2 (HK-2) cells. LysoPC acyltransferase was inhibited and choline phosphotransferase 1 (CEPT1) was activated after CTD intervention in mice and in HK-2 cells. CTD induces ATN, resulting in AKI, by activating GP metabolism and inhibiting SL metabolism in the renal cortex and medulla, LysoPC (16:0/0:0), LysoPC acyltransferase, and CEPT1 may be the therapeutic targets.

BACKGROUND: Bile acids (BAs) facilitate the progression of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) dysregulation was observed along with the initiation of gastric cancer. However, how lncRNAs function in GIM remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of lncRNA PVT1 in GIM, and provide a potential therapeutic target for GIM treatment. METHODS: We employed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to screen dysregulated lncRNAs in gastric epithelial cells after BA treatment. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to reveal the regulatory mechanism. PVT1 expression was detected in 21 paired biopsies obtained under endoscopy. Overexpressed and knockdown cell models were established to explore gene functions in GIM. Molecular interactions were validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and chromatin immunoprecipitation (Ch-IP). The levels of relative molecular expression were detected in GIM tissues. RESULTS: We confirmed that lncRNA PVT1 was upregulated in BA-induced GIM model. PVT1 promoted the expression of intestinal markers such as CDX2 , KLF4 , and HNF4α . Bioinformatics analysis revealed that miR-34b-5p was a putative target of PVT1 . miR-34b-5p mimics increased CDX2 , KLF4 , and HNF4α levels. Restoration of miR-34b-5p decreased the pro-metaplastic effect of PVT1 . The interactions between PVT1 , miR-34b-5p, and the downstream target HNF4α were validated. Moreover, HNF4α could transcriptionally activated PVT1 , sustaining the GIM phenotype. Finally, the activation of the PVT1 /miR-34b-5p/ HNF4α loop was detected in GIM tissues. CONCLUSIONS BAs facilitate GIM partially via a PVT1/miR-34b-5p/HNF4α positive feedback loop. PVT1 may become a novel target for blocking the continuous development of GIM and preventing the initiation of gastric cancer in patients with bile reflux.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of various special forms of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (DLCFA) perforator flaps in repairing high-voltage electrical burn wounds on the wrist.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From September 2014 to June 2024, 79 male patients with high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist, aged 20 to 62 years and met the inclusion criteria, were admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, with wrist high-voltage electrical burn wound (hereinafter referred to as wrist wound) types being classified as type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ. In the early stage after injury, debridement was performed on the patients' wrists. Based on the wound condition and flap indications, the flow-through, lobed, chimeric, flow-through-lobed, lobed-chimeric, flow-through-chimeric, or flow-through-lobed-chimeric DLCFA perforator flap was employed individually, and the flow-through-chimeric DLCFA perforator flap and tensor fascia lata myocutaneous flap were employed in combination to repair the wounds. The donor site wounds were repaired using direct sutures or skin grafting. The number of various DLCFA perforator flaps resected during surgery and the number of various types of wrist wounds repaired were recorded, as well as the closure status of the donor site wound. The postoperative flap survival, occurrence of vascular crisis, wound or suture site healing, and patency of the reconstructed artery in flow-through flaps were recorded. During follow-up, the appearance of the flap, scar formation, and the presence of thigh muscle herniation were observed.Results:Intraoperatively, 11 flow-through DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 11 type Ⅱ wrist wounds, 13 lobed DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 9 type Ⅱ and 4 type Ⅲ wrist wounds, 16 chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 16 type Ⅱ wrist wounds, 11 flow-through-lobed DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 5 type Ⅱ and 6 type Ⅲ wrist wounds, 10 lobed-chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 5 type Ⅱ and 5 type Ⅲ wrist wounds, 6 flow-through-chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 6 type Ⅱ wrist wounds, 7 flow-through-lobed-chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps were resected to repair 7 type Ⅲ wrist wounds, and 5 flow-through-chimeric DLCFA perforator flaps combined with tensor fascia lata myocutaneous flaps were resected to repair 5 type Ⅲ wrist wounds. Seventy-four patients had their donor site wounds closed by direct suturing, while 5 patients had their donor site wounds closed by skin grafting. Postoperatively, the flaps in 3 patients developed vascular crisis, including 1 case of arterial crisis and 2 cases of venous crises but survived after emergency vascular exploration and other treatments; the remaining flaps survived completely. Postoperatively, 3 patients had seepage beneath their flaps, which were closed after dressing changes; the remaining patients' wounds or suture sites all healed. Anteriography showed that all reconstructed arteries in 35 patients who underwent flow-through flap transplantation were patent postoperatively. During the follow-up period of 3 months to 1 year, 20 patients had bloated flap, while the rest had good flap appearance; linear scars were left in the donor sites that underwent direct wound closure, and the skin-grafted areas of the donor site wounds showed no significant patchy hypertrophic scarring; no thigh muscle herniation occurred.Conclusions:Taking the full advantage of perforator flaps, various special forms of the DLCFA perforator flaps are used to repair the three-dimensionally injury wounds caused by high-voltage electrical burns on the wrist, which not only minimizes the damage to the donor site but also allow the recipient site to be well repaired, showing good appearance in the recent follow-up.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. As the key pathological basis of CVD, arteriosclerosis holds great significance for early screening. However, existing clinical and homecare detection devices have many shortcomings; for instance, the commonly used non-invasive indicator PWV (pulse wave velocity) is easily interfered by blood pressure.This study developed a homecare arteriosclerosis monitoring system, which integrates the measurement functions of cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and ankle-brachial index (ABI). The hardware design of the system includes an integrated structure of flexible silver ion electrodes and clip-type cuffs, a contact heart sound sensor, and a stepped deflation blood pressure measurement module. Meanwhile, a high-precision analog-to-digital conversion module and the STM32F405 main control chip are used to realize the synchronous acquisition of multiple signals.In terms of software, the underlying driver program was designed through MDK (Keil5), and a user interface was built on the Visual Studio platform to achieve functions such as data acquisition, display, and storage. At the algorithm level, the system adopted algorithms like the Pan-Tompkins algorithm to identify key feature points of physiological signals, and then calculate CAVI and ABI.System test results show that the ECG input noise of the system is less than 20 μV, the common-mode rejection ratio is 95 dB, and the blood pressure measurement error does not exceed 2 mmHg, which meets the design goals. Clinical data analysis indicates that CAVI is highly positively correlated with pulse wave velocity (PWV) ( r=0.85, P<0.001), but CAVI is less affected by blood pressure fluctuations. In addition, with the increase of risk factors (such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, etc.) and age, arteriosclerosis indicators (CAVI, PWV, ABI) all show an upward trend.In conclusion, the homecare arteriosclerosis monitoring system proposed in this study not only overcomes the problems of traditional devices that rely on professional operation and are susceptible to blood pressure interference, but also provides a reliable tool for arteriosclerosis screening in home scenarios, and has important reference value for clinical diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between ferroptosis-related genes[heme oxygenase-1(HO-1),solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11),and long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetase 4(ACSL4)]expression and cardiovascular events in patients with chronic renal failure(CRF),aiming to pro-vide clinical insights for risk assessment of cardiovascular complications.Methods A total of 124 CRF pa-tients(CRF group)admitted to the hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 and 124 healthy people(con-trol group)who underwent physical examination in the hospital during the same period were selected as the research objects.The levels of ferroptosis-related gene HO-1,SLC7A11 and ACSL4 were detected and com-pared between the two groups.CRF patients were followed up for 12 months after discharge,and they were di-vided into concurrent group(n=56)and non-concurrent group(n=66)according to the occurrence of cardio-vascular events.Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between iron death relat-ed genes HO-1,SLC7A11,ACSL4 and cardiovascular events in CRF patients.Univariate and multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis were used to investigate the influencing factors of cardiovascular events in CRF pa-tients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of iron death re-lated genes HO-1,SLC7A11,and ACSL4 for cardiovascular events in CRF patients.Results Serum HO-1 and SLC7A11 levels in CRF group were lower than those in control group(P＜0.05),and the ACSL4 level was higher than that in control group(P＜0.05).The serum HO-1 and SLC7A11 levels in concurrent group were lower than those in non-concurrent group(all P＜0.05),and the serum ACSL4 level was higher than that in non-concurrent group(P＜0.05).Ferroptosis-related genes HO-1 and SLC7A11 were negatively correlated with cardiovascular events(r=-0.708,—0.721,P＜0.05),while ACSL4 was positively correlated with car-diovascular events(r=0.699,P＜0.05).High serum ACSL4 expression and high cTnT level were risk fac-tors for cardiovascular events in CRF patients(P＜0.05),and high hemoglobin level and high serum HO-1 and SLC7A11 expression were protective factors for cardiovascular events in CRF patients(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum HO-1,SLC7A11,ACSL4,hemo-globin and cTnT alone for predicting cardiovascular events in CRF patients were 0.787,0.735,0.773,0.651 and 0.782,respectively.The AUC of the combined prediction of ferroptosis-related genes was 0.837,and the AUC of the combined application of five factors was 0.880.According to Delong's test,the AUC of both com-bined application models was significantly higher than those of individual application(P＜0.05).The nomo-gram model showed that all ferroptosis-related genes were positively expressed(HO-1＜1.5,SLC7A11＜1.15,ACSL4≥2.75),and the risk of developing concurrent cardiovascular events in CRF patients could reach over 75％.Conclusion The expression of serum HO-1 and SLC7A11 in CRF patients is decreased,and the ACSL4 expression is increased,which is closely related to cardiovascular events,and the combined detection of three indexes has high value in predicting cardiovascular events in CRF patients.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of oliceridine for analgesia in the patients undergoing radical thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer.Methods:In this prospective, randomized, double-blind, single-center, positive-control study, 84 patients of either sex, aged 18-64 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, weighing 50-70 kg, with a body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, education years ≥ 6 yr, and expected surgery time>1 h, with thyroid cancer undergoing radical surgery under general anesthesia at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August to October 2024, were divided into 2 groups using a random number table method: sufentanil group (S group, n=41) and oliceridine group (O group, n=43). During anesthesia induction: Group S received intravenous injection of sufentanil 15 μg, while group O received intravenous injection of oliceridine 3 mg; If the increase in mean arterial pressure or heart rate exceeded 20% of the baseline value within 3 min after tracheal intubation, an additional 5 μg of sufentanil (S group) or 1 mg of oliceridine (O group) was added. At 2 min before skin incision, sufentanil 15 μg was intravenously injected in group S, and oliceridine 3 mg was intravenously injected in group O. Effectiveness evaluation indicators: The visual analog scale scores were recorded at 5 min after tracheal extubation, immediately upon exiting the post-anesthesia care unit, and at 24 and 48 h postoperatively; Ramsay sedation scores were recorded at 5, 10, 20 and 30 min after tracheal extubation. The safety evaluation indicators: The use of vasoactive drugs during surgery and occurrence of adverse reactions within 48 h after surgery were recorded. Results:Compared with group S, no significant change was found in visual analog scale scores at different time points after surgery and Ramsay sedation scores at different time points after tracheal extubation ( P>0.05), and the usage rate of atropine during surgery and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting were significantly decreased in group O ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Oliceridine can produce postoperative analgesic efficacy comparable to sufentanil in the patients undergoing radical thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer, with smoother intraoperative hemodynamics and lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
