Aim To explore the effect of circ_0103552 on the proliferation,migration and invasion of lung cancer A549 cells and its possible mechanism.Meth-ods qRT-PCR was used to detect circ_0103552 and miR-1200 expression in lung cancer tissues and adja-cent tissues.A549 cells were grouped into si-NC,si-circ_0103552,miR-NC,miR-1200,si-circ_0103552+anti-miR-NC,si-circ_0103552+anti-miR-1200 groups.Cell proliferation,clone formation,migration and invasion were detected.The targeting relationship between circ_0103552 and miR-1200 was assessed u-sing the dual luciferase reporter experiment.The ex-pression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin protein was de-tected by Western blot.Results Compared with adja-cent tissues,circ_0103552 expression in lung cancer tissue increased(P<0.05),while miR-1200 expres-sion decreased(P<0.05).Circ_0103552 knockdown or miR-1200 overexpression reduced cell viability,N-cadherin,cloning,invasion,and promoted E-cadherin protein(P<0.05).Circ_0103552 could target miR-1200.Down-regulating miR-1200 could reverse the in-hibitory effect of circ_0103552 knockdown on prolifera-tion,migration and invasion,as well as the promotion effect on cell apoptosis(P<0.05).Conclusion Circ_0103552 could promote lung cancer cell progres-sion by targeting miR-1200.

Objective:To evaluate the early clinical outcomes of modified suspended fixation with triple plates and double beams through a limited incision in the treatment of acroxoclavicular dislocation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 23 patients with acromioclavicular dislocation who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, The People's Hospital of Northern Jiangsu from June 2021 to August 2023 by modified suspended fixation with triple plates and double beams through a limited incision. There were 9 males and 14 females with an age of (52.2±10.6) years. The incision length, operation time, intraoperative bleeding and complications were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, Constant-Murley shoulder score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, range of shoulder motion (anterior flexion, abduction, lateral rotation) were recorded and compared between preoperation and the last follow-up. The coracoclavicular distance (CCD), clavicle tract width and coracoid tract width were measured and compared between postoperative day 2 and the last follow-up.Results:The patients were followed up for 12 (12, 16) months. The incision length was 5 (4, 5) cm, the operation time 50 (40, 60) min, and the intraoperative bleeding 30 (20, 30) mL. No such complications occurred as incision infection, fracture, or failure of internal fixation. The VAS pain score, Constant-Murley shoulder score, ASES score, anterior flexion, abduction and lateral rotation of the shoulder at the last follow-up were, respectively, 0 (0, 0) point, (92.8±4.9) points, (90.4±5.7) points, 175 °(170°, 180°), 175°(170°, 175°), and 85°(80°, 85°), significantly improved compared with the preoperative values [6 (5, 6) points, (40.4±7.2) points, (39.3±7.1) points, 85°(80°, 85°), 85°(80°, 90°), and 35°(35°, 40°)] ( P<0.05). The CCD was (6.1±1.3) mm at postoperative day 2 and (7.5±1.7) mm at the last follow-up, showing a significant difference ( P<0.05). Compared with postoperative day 2, the CCD widening at the last follow-up was <4mm in all patients, giving an excellent rate of 100% (23/23). The medial clavicle tract widening and the medial coracoid tract widening at the last follow-up were both <2 mm in all patients, giving an excellent rate of 100% (23/23). The lateral clavicle tract widening at the last follow-up was >2 mm in 2 patients, giving an excellent rate of 91% (21/23). Conclusions:In the treatment of acroxoclavicular dislocation, our modified suspended fixation with triple plates and double beams through a limited incision can lead to reliable reduction fixation and good recovery of shoulder function, showing advantages of short surgical time, easy surgical operation, high safety, and minimal postoperative widening of bone tracts.

Aim To investigate the regulatory effect of Cortaetin on pathological myocardial hypertrophy induced by isoprenaline (ISO) and the underlying mechanism. Methods ISO was used to stimulate neonatal rat cardiomyocytes for 24 h, and myocardial hypertrophy model was established at the cellular level. C57BL/6 mice were injected subcutaneously with ISO for one week to establish myocardial hypertrophy model at animal level. RT-qPCR was used to detect the changes of mRNA and Western blot was used to detect the changes of relative protein content. Immunofluorescence was used to measure the subcellular location of Cortaetin and the change of its expression. The overex-pression of Cortaetin by adenovirus infection and the knockdown of Cortaetin by transfection of small interfering RNA were studied. Results On the cellular and animal levels, ISO-induced myocardial hypertrophy models were successfully established, and it was observed that ISO caused the decrease of Cortaetin and N-cadherin protein levels. Overexpression of Cortaetin could reverse the decrease of N-cadherin protein level and myocardial hypertrophy caused by ISO. Knockdown of Cortaetin showed the opposite effect. Conclusion Cortaetin, in combination with N-cadherin, may play a role in combating myocardial hypertrophy by enhancing the connections between cardiomyocytes.
