Asthma is one of the most common diseases in chronic respiratory system;the etiology is complex,in-volving many types of inflammatory cells and a variety of signaling molecular mediators.Hydrogen sulfide(H2 S)is an endogenous gas transmitter in mammals,which is widely involved in cell functions and physiological and pathological processes of various diseases,including respiratory diseases.H2 S is involved in the occurrence and development of asthma through various ways.When the H2 S-producing enzyme level decreases,the concentration of endogenous H2 S level may trigger asthma attack and play a pro-inflammatory role.On the other hand,H2 S ini-tiates pulmonary inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)activation,limiting airway remodeling,and acts as an anti-remodeling and anti-inflammatory mediator.Moreover,H2 S level varies at different stages of asthma.H2 S level in patients with asthma is a potential bio-markers of airway inflammation in asthma case and my support clin-ical diagnosis of asthma.

Objective To observe the feasibility of cardiac MR tissue tracking(CMR-TT)technique for quantitatively evaluating myocardial strain of patients with myocardial amyloidosis(CA).Methods Cardiac MRI were collected from 20 patients of immunoglobulin amyloid light-chain CA(AL-CA,group A),20 cases of transthyretin CA(ATTR-CA,group B)and 20 healthy subjects(group C),and myocardial strain parameters were obtained using CMR-TT technique.Left ventricular cardiac function parameters were compared among 3 groups,so were strain parameters of each myocardial segment of left ventricle and global myocardium,including 3D longitudinal strain(LS),3D radial strain(RS)and 3D circumferential strain(CS).Results Compared with those in group C,significant differences of left ventricular cardiac function parameters were found in both group A and B(all P＜0.01),while no statistical difference was found between group A and B(all P＞0.05).Except for apical segment RS(P=0.81),strain parameters in group A and B were both lower than those in group C(all P＜0.01),while no significant difference was detected between group A and B(all P＞0.05).Conclusion CMR-TT technique could be used to quantitatively evaluate left ventricular myocardial strain of CA patients.

As a potential vectored vaccine,Newcastle disease virus(NDV)has been subject to various studies for vaccine development,while relatively little research has outlined the immunomodulatory effect of the virus in antigen presentation.To elucidate the key inhibitory factor in regulating the interaction of infected dendritic cells(DCs)and T cells,DCs were pretreated with the NDV vaccine strain LaSota as an inhibitor and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)for further detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),flow cytometry,immunoblotting,and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).The results revealed that NDV infection resulted in the inhibition of interleukin(IL)-12p40 in DCs through a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)-dependent manner,thus inhibiting the synthesis of IL-12p70,leading to the reduction in T cell proliferation and the secretion of interferon-γ(IFN-γ),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and IL-6 induced by DCs.Consequently,downregulated cytokines accelerated the infection and viral transmission from DCs to T cells.Furthermore,several other strains of NDV also exhibited inhibitory activity.The current study reveals that NDV can modulate the intensity of the innate?adaptive immune cell crosstalk critically toward viral invasion improvement,highlighting a novel mechanism of virus-induced immunosuppression and providing new perspectives on the improvement of NDV-vectored vaccine.

Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in neuropathic pain (NP) by targeting mRNAs. This study aims to analyze the regulatory function and mechanism of miR-382-5p/dual specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP1) axis in NP. Methods: We utilized rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve as the NP model. The levels of miR-382-5p and DUSP1 were reduced by intrathecal injection of lentiviral interference vectors targeting miR-382-5p and DUSP1. The mRNA levels of miR-382-5p and DUSP1 in the dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) were measured by RT-qPCR assay. The pain behavior was evaluated by mechanical nociceptive sensitivity and thermal nociceptive sensitivity. The expression levels of interleukin-6 (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the DRGs were analyzed by ELISA assay. The targeting relationship between miR-382-5p and DUSP1 was verified by DLR assay and RIP assay. Results: Compared to the Sham group, the CCI rats exhibited higher levels of miR-382-5p and lower levels of DUSP1. Overexpression of miR-382-5p significantly decreased DUSP1 levels. Reducing miR-382-5p levels can lower the mechanical nociceptive sensitivity and thermal nociceptive sensitivity of CCI rats and inhibit the over-activation of pro-inflammatory factors. Reduced miR-382-5p levels decreased NP in CCI rats. DUSP1 is the target of miR-382-5p, and down-regulation of DUSP1 reverses the inhibitory effect of reduced miR-382-5p levels on NP. Conclusions Down-regulation of miR-382-5p inhibits the over-activation of pro-inflammatory factors by targeting and regulating the expression of DUPS1, thereby alleviating NP.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors and clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction occurring in neonatal intensive care unit（NICU）.Methods:Neonates admitted to the NICU of Xuzhou Children's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects，and were divided into the thyroid dysfunction group and the normal thyroid function group according to the results of the thyroid test.Epidemiological characteristics and relevant clinical data of the neonates were collected，and the risk factors for thyroid dysfunction were analyzed by single factor and multifactorial Logistic regression.They were divided into four subgroups according to gestational age，and the incidence rates and clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction in different gestational age groups were compared.Results:A total of 2 716 cases were included.The results of univariate analysis showed that the thyroid dysfunction group had statistically significant differences in birth weight，gestational age，Apgar score，maternal age，mode of delivery，history of multiple pregnancies，neonatal respiratory distress syndrome，gestational hypertension，gestational thyroid dysfunction，use of alveolar surfactant，and use of dopamine/dobutamine compared with the normal thyroid function group（ P<0.05）；multiple factor Logistic regression analysis showed that small gestational age（<32 W， OR=2.287， P<0.01；~34W， OR=7.808， P<0.01；~<37 W， OR=3.314， P<0.01），low birth weight（<1 500 g， OR=1.555， P=0.027），low Apgar score（0~3 points， OR=4.689， P<0.01；4~7 points， OR=1.679， P=0.002），and thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy（ OR=3.044， P<0.01）were independent risk factors for neonatal thyroid dysfunction.The overall incidence of neonatal thyroid dysfunction in the NICU was 20.54%（558/2 716）；congenital hypothyroidism was 0.48%（13/2 716），transient hypothyroidism was 1.40%（38/2 716），transient hypothyroxemia was 2.61%（71/2 716），low T3 syndrome was 2.69%（73/2 716），and hyperthyrotropinemia was 13.37%（363/2 716）.There is a statistically significant difference in the incidence of transient hypothyroidism and transient hypothyroxinemia in different gestational age groups（ P<0.05）.Premature infants in the thyroid dysfunction group had a longer time to achieve full enteral feeding than those in the normal thyroid function group［gestational age <32 W group：13（12，15）d vs 13（10，14）d， Z=-2.193， P<0.05；~34 W group：8（6，9）d vs 7（5，7）d， Z=-2.178， P<0.05］. Conclusion:Different types of thyroid dysfunction can occur in newborns in the NICU.There are many risk factors，and the characteristics of thyroid dysfunction occurring in different gestational age groups are different.Therefore，for newborns in the NICU with risk factors，thyroid function should be tested in a timely manner，and timely intervention should be carried out.The overall prognosis is good.
