AIM:This study aims to investigate the role of ferroptosis in the myocardium of mice with lipopoly-saccharide(LPS)-induced sepsis and in the injury of H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes,and to explore the regulatory function of microRNA-351-5p(miR-351-5p)in this context.METHODS:An in vivo model of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy was established in mice through intraperitoneal injection of LPS.Twenty-four mice were randomly divided into negative control(NC)group,LPS group,and LPS+ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1(Fer-1)group.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was conducted to assess cardiac injury,and plasma levels of creatine kinase(CK)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)were also measured.Additionally,the levels of Fe2+and malondialdehyde(MDA)in plasma were quantified,and the mRNA levels of acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4(ACSL4)and prostaglandin-endperoxide synthase 2(PTGS2)were de-tected by RT-qPCR.In vitro,H9c2 cardiomyocytes were stimulated with LPS to create cellular models,followed by treat-ment with Fer-1,inhibitor NC,or miR-351-5p inhibitor.Cell viability was evaluated using CCK8 assay,intracellular re-active oxygen species(ROS)were measured by flow cytometry,intracellular Fe2+levels were assessed using a fluorescence probe,and the protein expression of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)and ACSL4 was analyzed by Western blot.The MDA and reduced glutathione(GSH)levels were measured using commercial kits.MicroRNA(miRNA)sequencing was performed on the LPS-stimulated H9c2 cardiomyocyte models,with differential miRNAs identified and subsequently vali-dated using RT-qPCR.RESULTS:The mice in LPS group exhibited significant myocardial tissue dysregulation com-pared with NC group,with enlarged space,increased plasma CK and LDH levels(P<0.05),elevated Fe2+and MDA levels in myocardial tissues(P<0.05),and increased mRNA levels of ACSL4 and PTGS2(P<0.05).In contrast,the mice in LPS+Fer-1 group demonstrated improved myocardial tissue structure,reduced space,decreased plasma CK and LDH levels(P<0.05),and lower Fe2+and MDA levels in myocardial tissues(P<0.05),along with decreased mRNA level of PTGS2(P<0.05).In H9c2 cardiomyocytes,cell viability,intracellular GSH level,and GPX4 protein level were significantly reduced in LPS group compared with NC group(P<0.05),while ROS,MDA,Fe2+,and ACSL4 protein levels were elevated(P<0.05).The cells in LPS+Fer-1 group showed increased viability,intracellular GSH level,and GPX4 protein level compared with LPS group(P<0.05),alongside reduced ROS,MDA,Fe2+,and ACSL4 levels(P<0.05).miRNA sequencing revealed a significant decrease in several miRNAs,with miR-351-5p showing the most pro-nounced reduction.In LPS+miR-351 inhibitor group,H9c2 cell viability significantly declined(P<0.05),and the levels of GSH and GPX4 were notably lowered(P<0.05),while ROS,MDA,Fe2+and ACSL4 protein levels were significantly elevated(P<0.05).However,in LPS+miR-351 inhibitor+Fer-1 group,the cell viability increased(P<0.05),and the GSH level rose significantly(P<0.05),with corresponding decreases in intracellular ROS,Fe2+and ACSL4 protein levels(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Inhibition of ferroptosis attenuated sepsis-induced myocardial injury,and inhibition of miR-351-5p promotes sepsis-induced ferroptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes.

Objective sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on outpatients in two hospitals in Guangdong province in order to evaluate patients’ satisfaction with the quality of medical service. This paper explored the factors that affect patients’ evaluation of medical service quality, and found that patients’ age was negatively correlated with the evaluation of medical service quality. It is suggested that the establishment of friendly medical institutions should be carried out according to the national policy. At the same time, the management mechanism of hospital should be improved, the number of medical service centers for "efficient" should be increased, and the medical service personnel should be regularly trained; carry out medical knowledge education in community, improve the popularization of personal medical knowledge and close the cognitive gap between doctors and patients.

Objective To provide the oxygen supply apparatus when the civil aviator and airforce pilot are inspected the hypoxia tolerance and altitude tolerance in the hypobaric environment.Methods Demand oxygen and contstant flow oxygen were supplied.Results The portable hypobaric oxygen supply apparatus can supply mixed oxygen below the altitude 8 000 m,and the oxygenous concentration of mixed oxygen was adjusted according to the altitude.The pure oxygen was supplied when the altitude was at 8 000～12 000 m.Conclusion The normal and emergency oxygen supply performance can fulfill the system physiological requirements.The portable hypobaric oxygen supply apparatus may be used by the persons engaging in special task on plateau also.

This paper is to study the feasibility of Chinese female pilot to fly fighterplane considering their physiological and biochemical tolerability to altitude anoxia. The altitude anorexia was simulated on the ground in female pilot and their electrocardiograph, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, blood uric acid(BUA), blood lactic acid(BLA), creatine kinase(CK) and aspantic aminotransferase(AST) were measured before and after flying, and the results were compared with that in the male pilots. There was no difference in electrocardiograph, heart rate, blood saturation, blood pressure, Cr, CK, BUA and AST in both sexes, but the Hb level was higher in female pilots than that in male ones( P

Objective To observe the effect of pigplacenta ins tead of Ziheche (P lacenta Hominis) for the treatment of senile dementia. Methods Seventy Kunming mice were divided into blank group, model group, pos itive control group, Zih eche low and high dosage groups, and pigplacenta low and high dosage grou ps, wi th 10 in each. The senile dementia models were established with the D-Galactose subcutaneous injection. The blank group was not administered any medicines. The model group was prescribed normal saline instead of the tested medicine; the pos itive control group was given Naofukang by gavage; the Zih eche low and high dosage groups were given 2g/kg and 4g/kg Ziheche respectivel y by gavage; while the pigplacenta low and high dosage groups were treated wi th p igplacenta 4g/kg and 8g/kg respectively by gavage. After treatment for 6 week s, the behavior experimental dark-avoiding test and step-down test were applied to test the effect of the medicines on the learning memory of mice, and acetylchol inesterase and monoamine levels in brain tissues. Results There was no s ignificant difference between the effect of pigplacenta and Ziheche in resi stin g senile dementia. In the latency of dark-avoiding test, the effect of high d osa ge of pigplacenta was significantly better than that of Ziheche (P
