Objective:To observe the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on diabetic rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and to explore the role of miR-122 in it.Methods:Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into a healthy control group, a sedentary group, a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) group and a moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) group using a random number table. All except the healthy control group had type 2 diabetes with NAFLD induced using a high-fat and high-fructose diet. The healthy control and sedentary groups were kept quiet in their cages, while the HIIT and MICT groups performed treadmill exercise of the corresponding intensity for 8 consecutive weeks. At 48h after the last training, plasma was collected to measure biochemical markers, and the livers were resected for histological observation using hematoxylin and eosin staining. miR-122 expression was measured using real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reactions, while the protein expressions of fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP1c) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) were detected using western blotting.Results:Compared with the healthy control group, the average fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), insulin and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) had increased significantly in the sedentary group. Compared with the sedentary group, the average FBG, TG, TC, insulin and HOMA-IR had decreased significantly in both the HIIT and MICT groups, and the average ALT and AST in the HIIT group had also decreased significantly. The average TG, TC, ALT and AST levels in the HIIT group were then significantly lower than in the MICT group. Compared with the sedentary group, the average liver steatosis score had decreased significantly in both the HIIT and MICT groups, with that of the HIIT group significantly lower than in the MICT group, on average. Compared with the healthy control group, the expression of miR-122 had decreased significantly, but that of SREBP1c, PPARγ, FAS and ACC had increased significantly in the sedentary group. And compared with the sedentary group, the expression of miR-122 had increased significantly in both the HIIT and MICT groups, on average, but that of SREBP1c, PPARγ, FAS and ACC had decreased significantly. Average miR-122 levels in the HIIT group were then significantly higher, and those of SREBP1c, PPARγ, FAS and ACC were significantly lower than in the MICT group.Conclusions:Either MICT or HIIT training can relieve NAFLD in rats modeling diabetes, but HIIT has a better therapeutic effect. Its therapeutic mechanism may be related to the upregulation of miR-122 in the liver.

Objective:To detect pathogenic gene mutations in a patient with CARD14-associated papulosquamous eruption (CAPE) and his family, and to evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy and safety of ustekinumab treatment.Methods:Clinical data were collected from a 6-year-old child presenting with erythroderma secondary to pityriasis rubra pilaris and from his family members. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the patient, his parents and younger brother, and DNA was extracted from these peripheral blood samples. A next-generation skin-targeted sequencing panel was used to detect gene mutations, and Sanger sequencing was performed for verification. Genomic DNA was also extracted from 100 unrelated healthy controls using the same method.Results:A heterozygous mutation c.349+1G>A in intron 6 of the CARD14 gene was identified in the proband and his mother, but was not identified in his father, younger brother or 100 healthy controls, leading to a diagnosis of CAPE in the proband. The patient received subcutaneous injections of ustekinumab at a dose of 45 mg at weeks 0 and 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter. After 1-week treatment, the skin lesions and symptoms improved markedly. No adverse events were reported during the 18-month treatment and follow-up.Conclusion:The heterozygous mutation c.349+1G>A in the CARD14 gene may be the cause of the disease in this family, and ustekinumab was effective and safe for the treatment of CAPE.

Objective:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of ICU nurses' perception of risks and benefits of family presence during resuscitation, and to provide scientific evidence for the formulation of relevant policies in medical institutions.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 370 ICU nurses from four Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Taizhou between October and December 2024. A general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Family Presence Risk-Benefit Scale (FPR-BS), and the Chinese version of the Family Presence Self-Confidence Scale (FPS-CS) were used. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was applied to explore the influencing factors of ICU nurses' perception of risks and benefits of family presence during resuscitation.Results:A total of 370 questionnaires were distributed, and 357 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 96.49%. The total score of the Chinese version of FPR-BS among 357 ICU nurses was (50.25±10.54), and the total score of the Chinese version of FPS-CS was (40.36±8.19). Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, age, years of work experience, educational level, number of times participating in resuscitation, and self-confidence regarding family presence during resuscitation were influencing factors of risk-benefit perception ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:ICU nurses' perception of the risks and benefits of family presence during resuscitation was at a relatively low to moderate level. Self-confidence regarding family presence during resuscitation was correlated with risk-benefit perception. When implementing policies on family presence during resuscitation, medical institutions should first improve nurses' self-confidence in this regard and provide targeted support.

Objective:To investigate the application value of computer-assisted preoperative planning (CAPP) in the treatment of AO/OTA type-C distal femoral fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 150 patients with AO/OTA type-C distal femur fractures from January 2010 to December 2021 using the less invasive stabilization system-distal femur (LISS-DF). Patients were divided into a non-CAPP group and a CAPP group based on whether computer-assisted preoperative planning was utilized. The non-CAPP group included 81 patients (56 males, 25 females) with an age range of 39 to 67 years (mean 54.9±5.8 years), consisting of 22 type-C1 fractures, 35 type-C2 fractures, and 24 type-C3 fractures. The CAPP group comprised 69 patients (50 males, 19 females) with an age range of 45 to 63 years (mean 53.9±4.6 years), including 18 type-C1 fractures, 28 type-C2 fractures, and 23 type-C3 fractures. The study recorded the time of preoperative planning and compared the surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, times of fluoroscopy intraoperatively, and hospital stay length between the two groups. At the last follow-up, knee function was evaluated using the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS).Results:The preoperative planning time of CAPP was 22.5±3.4 min (range, 17-31 min). There were statistically significant differences between non-CAPP group and CAPP group in terms of surgical duration (non-CAPP, 110.9±7.7 min; CAPP, 94.4±6.3 min), intraoperative blood loss (non-CAPP, 299.3±34.2 ml; CAPP, 224.1±22.0 ml), times of fluoroscopy intraoperatively (non-CAPP, 11.3±3.1; CAPP, 6.7±2.2), and hospital stay length (non-CAPP, 12.8±3.2 d; CAPP, 6.4±1.9 d) ( P<0.001). All patients were followed up, with the CAPP group having a follow-up duration of 17.7±3.3 months and the non-CAPP group having 18.1±3.7 months. Both groups of patients achieved clinical healing of fractures. The healing time for fractures in the CAPP group and the non-CAPP group were 13.9±1.1 weeks and 14.0±1.3 weeks, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t=0.699, P=0.490). At the last follow-up, the average HSS score and VAS score of the patients in the CAPP group were 86.6±3.4 points and 0.9±0.4 points, which were both better than those of the non-CAPP group 79.2±5.1 points and 1.3±0.5 points ( P<0.001). No patients in either group experienced complications related to delayed fracture healing, nonunion, or internal fixation failure. Conclusion:When using LISS -DF steel plate to treat complex distal femoral fractures, CAPP can assist the operator in efficiently and accurately completing preoperative design. Compared with traditional preoperative planning, it can reduce surgical time, surgical trauma, and achieve more satisfactory postoperative outcomes.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features of out-of-hospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation(ECPR) patients and analyze the factors associated with discharge survival.Methods:The data of 54 patients with ECPR in the Emergency Center of the Second Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2020 to December 2023 were analyzed. Patients were divided into the survival group and death group based on their survival status within 30 days of discharge. Kaplan Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and COX regression analysis was used to analyze the relevant factors of survival.Results:(1) A total of 54 patients with ECPR were included in this study. 17 (31.5%) cases were discharged alive, of which 10 (58.8%) had a good neurological prognosis, while 37 case (68.5%) died.(2) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients who received first-witness CPR, had a lower-extremity perfusion line established, underwent IABP, achieved ROSC, had normal pH, and had an initial pupillary light reflex had a longer median survival time ( P < 0.05). (3) Univariate COX regression analysis showed that statistically differences in survival time among patients with ECMO times, hypoperfusion times, initial pupil sizes, and APACHEⅡ scores ( P < 0.05); (4) Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that APACHEⅡ score, initial pupil size, and IABP were independent predictors of survival of patients discharged from the hospital with emergency ECPR; (5) The concordance index of the COX regression model was 0.921. Conclusions:The survival model demonstrates good predictive accuracy. Healthcare professionals can use the APACHEⅡscore and initial pupil size on admission as important reference indicators to assist in determining patient prognosis, and to timely initiate IABP treatment, in conjunction with the patient’s condition, to improve the survival rate of patients discharged from the hospital.

OBJECTIVE
To synthesize a polymer PEI-ss-PEG2000-DSPE containing disulfide bond and to prepare as cationic micelle(P-ss-PD) based on branched polyethyleneimine(PEI). To investigate the ability of P-ss-PD micelle to reduce cytotoxicity and improve the transfection efficiency of antisense oligonucleotide(ASO) in human breast cancer cell lines, and to study the anti-tumor effect of P-ss-PD micelle in nude mice.
METHODS
PEI-ss-PEG2000-DSPE was synthesized by grafting PEG2000-DSPE onto branched PEI with disulfide bond as a connecting arm. P-ss-PD micelle was prepared by ethanol injection method and P-ss-PD/ASO nanocomplex was obtained by combining P-ss-PD micelle with ASO. The particle size and zeta potential of P-ss-PD/ASO nanocomplex at various mass ratios were determined by laser particle size analyzer. Agarose gel retardation assay was used to investigate the binding degree of P-ss-PD/ASO nanocomplex and determine the optimal mass ratio. At the same time, the reduction responsive ability of P-ss-PD micelle was investigated. The cytotoxicity of P-ss-PD micelle was detected by CCK8 kit. The transfection efficiency of P-ss-PD micelle was investigated by flow cytometry and high content cell imaging analysis system in MDA-MB-231 cells. The anti-tumor effect of P-ss-PD micelle was investigated by tumor-bearing nude mice models.
RESULTS
When the mass ratio was 300∶1, the particle size of P-ss-PD/ASO nanocomplex was the smallest and had a good stability. The average particle size was (58.90 ± 4.08)nm, the average zeta potential was (16.80 ± 1.23)mV, and the morphology was uniform spherical. P-ss-PD/ASO nanocomplex had the reduction responsive ability and could release ASO under highly reductive conditions.In vitro, compared with unmodified branched PEI, the cytotoxicity of P-ss-PD micelle was significantly reduced and the transfection efficiency was significantly increased.In vivo, the tumor growth inhibition rate of P-ss-PD/ASO nanocomplex in tumor-bearing nude mice was more than 50%.
CONCLUSION
The P-ss-PD micelle prepared in this study is a kind of low toxicity and high transfection efficiency non-viral vector, which has the characteristics of reduction responsive releasing, and shows a promising application in ASO drug delivery.
