Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is characterized by high incidence and poor prognosis.Hep-atitis B virus(HBV)infection is one of its primary causes,with HBV-related HCC accounting for 70％-80％of all HCC cases.In addition to surgical resection,molecular biological therapy is increasingly important in HCC treatment.Recent advances in research technologies have led to growing evidence demonstrating that RNA-binding proteins(RBPs)play critical regulatory roles in HCC pathogenesis.Furthermore,RBPs partici-pate in the development and functional regulation of the immune system.Consequently,they are emerging as a focal point for novel therapeutic strategies in malignancies and autoimmune diseases.This review aimed to summarize the molecular regulatory mechanisms of RBPs in the pathogenesis of HBV-associated HCC.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Guanxinning tablets(GXN) on early heart failure model rats, and to explore the protective mechanism of GXN on heart failure rats from the perspective of intestinal flora. METHODS Six rats who underwent sham operation were set as sham operation group. Took 80 SD rats to undergo aortic arch stenosis and established a heart failure rat model. The surviving rats were divided into 4 groups, namely the model control group, the positive control group(captopril tablets 12.5 mg·kg–1), high-dose and low-dose of GXN group(600, 1 200 mg·kg–1). The 4 groups were administered continuously for 8 weeks. Cardiac ultrasonography was performed every 4 week. Serum NT-proBNP, hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, SOD and MDA levels were measured. The effects of GXN on the structure and function of intestinal flora were observed based on the high-throughput sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis of 16S gut microbiome. RESULTS Compared to the model control group, after giving different doses of GXN, the survival rate of rats increased, and the thickness of the ventricular wall decreased to varying degrees. The weight of the heart and coefficient of the heart were all reduced. GXN could also reduce the level of inflammatory factors, inhibit the level increase of NT-proBNP in rats, and increase the activity of serum SOD. In addition, GXN intervention could significantly improve the intestinal flora diversity of rats with heart failure, the possible target genera of GXN were Akkermansia genera, Phascolarctobacterium genera and Oxalobacter genera. The effect of GXN on intestinal function in rats with heart failure might be concentrated in non-homologous end-joining, influenza A, carotenoid synthesis, indole alkaloids biosynthesis, betalain biosynthesis, renin-angiotensin system and other biological pathways. CONCLUSION The protective effect of GXN on early heart failure rats may be related to the regulation of intestinal flora pathway.

Objective To explore the risk factors of orthostatic hypotension(OH)in patients with multiple system atrophy(MSA).Methods A total of 199 MSA patients were included,and they were divided into groups based on the severity of OH.The data differences between the groups were compared,and the risk factors for the occurrence of OH in MSA patients were analyzed from ordered Logistic regression.Results There were significant differences in gender,diabetes,disease grade,syncope,supine hypertension,fatigue and brain protective drugs among patients with different OH grades(all P＜0.05).Ordered Logistic regression analysis found that disease grade(probable MSA),syncope,supine hypertension,and fatigue were independent risk factors for the occurrence of OH in MSA patients(all P＜0.05).Conclusions OH is commonly present in MSA patients,and its severity is influenced by many factors.Disease grade(probable MSA),syncope,lying hypertension and fatigue are independent risk factors of OH in patients with MSA.

Objective:Clot waveform analysis (CWA) of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was used to rapidly identify patients with hemophilia A (HA) and lupus anticoagulant (LA) positive, and to explore the diagnostic efficacy of APTT-CWA in HA and LA-positive patients.Methods:From July 25, 2022, to December 28, 2023, 145 patients with APTT prolongation were admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University. This group comprised 106 males and 39 females, with an average age of (29.3±15.8) years, among whom there were 94 clinically confirmed HA cases and 51 LA-positive cases. The retrospective analysis employed the Mann-Whitney U test to compare APTT results and CWA parameters between HA patients and LA-positive individuals.CWA parameters including the first derivative of maximum reaction velocity (|min1|), the second derivative of maximum acceleration (|min2|), and maximum deceleration (|max2|) were investigated. Patients were classified based on the duration of APTT prolongation into mild (33 s53 s) groups. A comparison of APTT seconds and CWA parameters |min1|, |min2|, and |max2| was conducted for HA and LA-positive patients between each group. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were utilized to assess the diagnostic efficacy of CWA parameters and determine cut-off values. Results:The APTT results for HA and LA-positive patients were 70.2 s and 41.5 s, respectively, exhibiting a statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). CWA parameters |min1| were 1.459 %/s vs 3.868 %/s, |min2| were 0.124 %/s2 vs 0.502 %/s2, and |max2| were 0.054 %/s2 vs 0.388 %/s2in HA and LA patients, respectively ( P<0.001). In all APTT prolongation groups, the CWA parameters |min1|, |min2|and |max2| for HA were significantly lower than those for LA-positive patients ( P<0.05). CWA graph analysis revealed that the peak heights of |min1|, |min2|, and |max2| in HA were lower compared to LA patients. In the severe extension group, HA displayed significantly decreased peak values and a flatter, incomplete curve. ROC curve analysis indicated AUC values were greater than 0.8 ( P<0.01) for |min1|, |min2|, and |max2| in all APTT prolongation groups. Cut-off values for |min1|, |min2|, and |max2| were established for each prolongation group: mild (3.205 %/s, 0.423 %/s2, and 0.300 %/s2), moderate (2.884 %/s, 0.340 %/s2, 0.231 %/s2), and severe (2.209 %/s, 0.190 %/s2, 0.095 %/s2). Conclusion:When APTT was extended within the same range, there were significant differences in CWA parameters between HA patients and LA patients, ROC curve analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of CWA parameters in distinguishing HA from LA-positive patients,APTT-CWA can serve as a low-cost, efficient, and specific method for the rapid identification of hemophilia and lupus anticoagulant-positive patients.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) knockdown on the proliferation and migration of colon cancer RKO cells induced by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods: RKO cells were treated with MSCs conditioned medium (MSC-CM) or control medium (Control-CM), respectively. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. Cell migration ability was tested by Transwell chamber assay. The proteins expression of Ki-67, MMP-2/9, CD44 and CD133 was detected by Western blotting. Then, the expression of SphK1 in RKO cells was suppressed by targeted gene lentivirus shRNA vector transfection. The effects of SphK1 knockdown on the proliferation, migration and protein expressions of Ki-67, MMP-2/9, CD44 and CD133 of RKO cells induced by MSC-CM were observed. Results: The RKO cells proliferation was promoted by MSC-CM in a time-dependent manner; moreover (P<0.05), the migration ability of cells was significantly enhanced after being treated with MSC-CM(P<0.01). In addition, MSC-CM significantly increased the protein expressions of Ki-67, MMP-2/9, CD44 and CD133(all P<0.05 or P<0.01). Lentiviral ShRNA vector transfection could significantly inhibit the expression of SphK1. Down-regulation of SphK1 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and protein expressions of Ki-67, MMP-2/9, CD44 and CD133 of RKO cells induced by MSC-CM(all P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: MSC-CM promotes the proliferation and migration of colon cancer RKO cells. Down-regulation of SphK1 reverses the cell proliferation and migration induced by MSC-CM via inhibiting the expression of MMP-2/9, CD44 and CD133.

Objective To investigate the influence of laparoscopic D3 lymphadenectomy combined with pelvic autonomic nerve preservation on the urinary function of male patients with rectal cancer. Methods From August 2006 to August 2007, 119 male patients with rectal cancer who had been admitted to Southwest Hospital were assigned to open surgery group (n=59) and laparoscopic group (n=60) according to the random number table. Three months after the operation, the urinary function of patients was assessed by urodynamics investigation and international prostate symptom score (IPSS). Differences in measurement data were compared with paired t test. Results There was no significant difference in IPSS between laparoscopic group (10.9±2.9) and open surgery group (11.5±3.1) (t=-1. 309, P>0.05). The maximum flow rate, voided volume, residual urine volume, detrusor contraction pressure and maximum urethral pressure were 15.2 ml/s, 150.1 ml, 6.1 ml, 43.3 cm H2O (1 cm H2O=0.098 kPa) and 77.5 cm H2O in laparoscopic group, and 15.0 ml/s, 140.9 ml, 6.4 ml, 45.6 cm H2O and 72.3 cm H2O in open surgery group, with no statistical difference between the 2 groups (t=1.22, -2.12, -1.73, -1.35, -1.64, P>0.05). Conclusions Laparosceopic D3 lymphadenectomy combined with pelvic autonomic nerve preservation is relatively safe in preserving urinary function, and its efficacy is comparable to that of open surgery.
