Objective To investigate the correlation between lipid-related index and diabetic kidney disease(DKD)by observing the expression levels of lipid-related index in different stages of DKD.Methods A total of 265 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)were divided into the T2DM group(n=106)and the DKD group(n=159).According to estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)level,the DKD group was sub-divided into the DKD-G2 group(n=59),the DKD-G3 group(n=59)and the DKD-G4 group(n=41).Data of triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),apolipoprotein A(Apo A),Apo B and urinary albumin/urinary creatinine ratio(UACR)were collected.Gomerular filtration rate(eGFR),triglyceride-glucose index(TyG),visceral adiposity index(VAI)and atherogenic index of plasma(AIP)were calculated.The differences of TyG,VAI and AIP between different groups and their correlation with eGFR and UACR were analyzed.Multiple linear regression analysis of DKD renal injury factors was conducted.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn to evaluate the predictive efficiency of TyG,VAI,and AIP.Results The levels of TyG,VAI and AIP were significantly higher in the DKD group compared to the T2DM group,and these indices exhibited an increasing trend with disease progression(P＜0.05).Furthermore,there was a negative correlation between TyG,VAI,AIP and eGFR(r=-0.396,-0.425,-0.519,P＜0.01),and a positive correlation between UACR and eGFR(r=0.482,0.479 and 0.583,P＜0.01)in DKD patients.Multiple linear regression results showed that VAI and AIP were independent risk factors for eGFR,and TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,Apo B and VAI were influencing factors of UACR(P＜0.05).The ROC curve analysis revealed that the areas under the curves for TyG,VAI and AIP were 0.902(0.866-0.937),0.969(0.953-0.986)and 0.958(0.937-0.979)respectively.Conclusion The levels of TyG,VAI and AIP are correlated with the progression of DKD,and have predictive value for the occurrence and development of DKD.These biomarkers can be used as a biological indicator to evaluate the occurrence and development of DKD.

Objective:To investigate the treatment strategy and prognostic factors of nasopharyngeal necrosis after the first radical radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:Clinical data of 1020 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Nasopharyngeal necrosis was confirmed by nasopharyngeal MRI, electronic nasopharyngoscopy and biopsy. Patients with nasopharyngeal necrosis were treated with electronic nasopharyngoscope irrigation debridement, combined with systemic anti-infection and nutritional support therapy. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival, and Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between clinical factors and patients' survival.Results:Nasopharyngeal necrosis occurred in 20 cases of 1020 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after the first radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy, with an incidence rate of 1.96%. Odd smell and headache were common in nasopharyngeal necrosis patients. All patients had locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma at initial treatment, including 2 (10%) cases of T 3 stage and 18 (90%) cases of T 4 stage. Nasopharyngeal necrosis occurred in the primary nasopharyngeal lesions. According to the stages of nasopharyngeal necrosis, there were 6 (30%) cases of stage I, 14 (70%) cases of stage II and no stage III. The occurrence time of nasopharyngeal necrosis was from 2 to 24 months after radiotherapy, and the median time was 5 months. All 16 cases of nasopharyngeal necrosis were cured clinically after debridement and irrigation under nasopharyngoscope, systemic anti-infection and symptomatic support treatment. Among them, 9 cases had no necrotic cavity and complete healing and 7 cases had residual necrotic cavity. Four patients died of massive nasopharyngeal hemorrhage or due to the inability to nasopharyngeal irrigation. The 5-year survival rates were 37.5% and 85.7% in patients with and without internal carotid artery involvement ( P=0.008), and 25.0% and 77.8% in patients with and without diabetes mellitus ( P=0.016). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that necrotic lesions involving internal carotid artery ( HR=5.80, 95% CI=1.14-29.38, P=0.034) and diabetes mellitus ( HR=10.24, 95% CI=1.19-88.04, P=0.034) were the influencing factors of overall survival. Conclusions:Nasopharyngoscope irrigation debridement combined with anti-inflammation and nutritional support treatment are effective interventions for nasopharyngeal necrosis after the first radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The necrosis involving the internal carotid artery and diabetes mellitus are important factors affecting the survival of patients. Vascular invasion caused by vascular rupture is the main cause of death.

As an essential trace element in living organisms, copper is actively involved in normal physiological processes in various systems and is maintained at low level to achieve copper homeostasis. Copper homeostasis, once being disrupted, would induce cell death, and this new form of cell death is known as copper death. In recent years, copper death has been increasingly recognized as an important factor mediating the onset and progression of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Therefore, we review the pathogenic mechanism of copper death in CNS diseases, as well as its therapeutic strategies so as to deepen the understanding of researchers.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of plasma exosomal microRNA (miR)-124-3p in the risk of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH).Methods:A case-control study. Thirty patients who were diagnosed with CCH (CCH group) based on cranial artery spin labeling (ASL) in the neurology outpatient clinic of Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital from March 2022 to June 2022 and 30 healthy volunteers (control group) were included. Age, gender, smoking history, alcohol consumption history, diabetes history, hypertension, hyperlipidemia history, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, homocysteine and plasma exosomal miR-124-3p expression level were compared between the two groups. Comparisons of categorical variables were analyzed by either χ2 test or Fisher′s exact test. If the data of continuous variables followed a normal distribution, they were expressed as mean±standard deviation (SD) and compared by t-test for two independent samples; otherwise, the data were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test for comparison between two groups. The correlation between cerebral blood flow and exosomal miR-124-3p levels was analyzed by Pearson′s correlation. Binary multifactorial logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors associated with CCH, and corresponding odds ratios ( OR) and 95% confidence intervals ( CI) were calculated. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results:There was no significant difference in age (64±8 vs. 60±8 years old), gender (33.3% vs. 30.0%), history of smoking (20.0% vs. 3.3%), alcohol consumption (20.0% vs. 6.7%), diabetes mellitus (13.3% vs. 13.3%), hypertension (53.3% vs. 30.0%), history of hyperlipidemia (46.7% vs. 36.7%), uric acid (288±60 vs.319±67 μmol/L), and fasting glucose [4.99(4.63, 5.91) vs. 5.28(5.09, 6.05) mmol/L] and homocysteine [11.35(10.18, 13.08) vs.11.00(9.78, 13.03) μmol/L] between the CCH and control groups ( P>0.05). Plasma exosomal miR-124-3p expression was significantly higher in the CCH group than in the control group [13.08 (8.59, 21.55) vs. 2.85 (1.44, 5.10), respectively; U=169.50, P<0.001]. Pearson′s correlation test showed that the level of exosomal miR-124-3p was negatively correlated with cerebral blood flow in the hypoperfused region in patients with CCH ( r=-0.932, P<0.001). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that plasma exosomal miR-124-3p was independently associated with the risk of CCH ( OR=1.169,95% CI 1.063-1.286, P=0.001). Conclusions:The expression of plasma exosomal miR-124-3p is negatively correlated with cerebral blood flow in areas of low perfusion and is an independent risk factor for CCH. Plasma exosomal miR-124-3p may thus serve as a valid biomarker for CCH risk prediction.

【Objective】 To reveal possible mechanisms of miRNA in diabetic hepatopathy through bioinformatics method. 【Methods】 Subset data of miRNA and their matched mRNAs in the liver of STZ-induced diabetic mice and the normal liver tissues of congenial mice by detecting on microarrays were collected from GEO database； information from the database and bioinformatics analysis were applied to mine a batch of miRNAs in diabetic hepatopathy and targeted mRNAs regulated. Then qRT-PCR was used to verify the expressions of miRNAs in diabetic liver from 20 STZ-treated Kunming mice and 10 normal homologous mice. 【Results】 Via detection and analysis， miRNAs differentially expressed （including 96 up-regulated and 77 down-regulated） were significantly obtained. Groups of miRNAs and their effectors （mRNAs） that may be related to the pathological process of diabetic liver disease in mice were screened by GO and KEGG enrichment analyses， combined with relevant protein annotations in the databases and references. The expressions of miR-200a-3p， miR-200b-3p and miR-222-3p in the mice’s liver tissue detected by qRT-PCR were significantly down-regulated. In addition， the expressions of related effector genes CERS6， MYBL1， SCD2， SLCO1A4 and PLK2 were up-regulated， while the expressions of ACSS2， BCL6 and SLC10A2 were down-regulated. 【Conclusion】 The variation trend of those candidate miRNAs in mouse diabetic liver compared with that in control livers was consistent with that of the previous studies and prediction， which revealed their potential molecular regulation in this disease process.
