Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with half-dose recombinant staphylokinase(r-SAK)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who are expected to undergo PCI within 120 minutes.Methods From October 2021 to August 2022,a total of 200 STEMI patients in eight centers were included and randomly assigned in a 1﹕1 ratio to either r-SAK group or control group.Patients received loading doses of aspirin and ticagrelor and intravenous heparin and were randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of either 5 mg r-SAK or normal saline prior to PCI.The outcomes were set as ST-segment resolution(STR)at 60-90 minutes after PCI,the proportion and transition of pathological Q waves on the 5th day after PCI,and the proportion of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)peaking within 12 hours of onset.The safety outcome was major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)≥type 3 bleeding during hospitalization.Results Compared with the control group,the r-SAK group had a higher proportion of STR≥70%within 60-90 minutes after PCI(58.3%vs.40.3%,P=0.009);a lower proportion of pathological Q waves(59.1%vs.74.1%,P=0.040);a lower rate of Q wave progression(14.8%vs.43.2%,P＜0.001);a higher rate of Q wave disappearance(12.5%vs.3.7%,P=0.027);and a higher proportion of hs-cTnT peaking within 12 hours of symptom onset[31/40(77.5%)vs.17/33(51.5%),P=0.027].Regarding the safety outcome,no significant difference in BARC≥type 3 bleeding was found between the two groups during hospitalization(P＞0.05).Conclusions For STEMI patients who were expected to undergo primary PCI within 120 minutes of symptom onset,the facilitated PCI with half-dose r-SAK significantly increased the proportion of STR≥70%at 60-90 minutes after PCI,reduced the formation of pathological Q waves,and shortened the time to peak hs-cTnT,without increasing the risk of bleeding,which should be an alternative reperfusion strategy worthy of further study.

Widespread utilization of glyphosate has led to environmental residues,posing potential threats to ecological systems and human health.Traditional methods for detection of glyphosate are limited by specialized equipment and operational techniques,resulting in inefficient responses.Therefore,it is urgent to develop a convenient,sensitive and accurate detection method for detection of glyphosate.Herein,a new naphthalenesulfonamide-based"Turn-on"fluorescent probe was synthesized using 2-chloroaniline and dansyl chloride as raw materials through a one-step process,which showed a good linear relationship between the glyphosate concentration in concentration range of 0.003-70 μmol/L and the fluorescence intensity(R2=0.995),with a detection limit of 2.73 nmol/L(S/N=3).Analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS)were used to investigate the interaction mechanism between the fluorescent probe and glyphosate.The results indicated that a nucleophilic substitution reaction occurred between the probe and the secondary amine(—NH—)of glyphosate,inducing a photoinduced electron transfer(PET)effect which enhanced the fluorescence intensity by 11.2 times.The probe showed good anti-interference ability towards coexisting metal ions,anions and pesticides in water.When applied to determination of glyphosate in the samples such as tap water,river water(Xiangxi River Reservoir),soil,soybeans,and corn,the spiking recoveries ranged from 94.7％to 109.9％,demonstrating the high accuracy and broad applicability of this detection method.A portable test strip based on this fluorescent probe was developed for rapid semi-quantitative analysis of glyphosate.The developed method was rapid,sensitive,and portable,providing theoretical and technical support for on-site measurement of environmental contaminants.

Objective To explore the correlation between the expression of serum microRNA(miR)-1298-5p,miR-625-5p,and miR-155 with the degree of Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection in elderly gastric cancer patients.Methods From January 2021 to November 2023,120 elderly patients with gastric cancer admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to November 2023 were selected as the gastric cancer group,and 130 non-gas-tric cancer patients who underwent gastroscopy were selected as the control group.The expression levels of miR-1298-5p,miR-625-5p and miR-155 in serum were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR).Car-bon 13 urea breath test was used to detect the positive rate of Hp infection in two groups,and the degree of Hp infection in elderly patients with gastric cancer were evaluated.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of serum miR-1298-5p,miR-625-5p,and miR-155 expression levels for Hp infection in elderly gastric cancer patients.Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum miR-1298-5p,miR-625-5p,miR-155 expression and positive rate of Hp infection in elderly gas-tric cancer patients.Results Compared with the control group,the expression levels of miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p in serum of gastric cancer group decreased(P＜0.05),while the positive rate of Hp infection and the expression level of serum miR-155 increased(P＜0.05).The expression levels of serum miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p in elderly gastric cancer patients with Hp grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ infection were lower than those without Hp infection,while the expression level of miR-155 was higher(P＜0.05).Patients with poor differ-entiation,lymph node metastasis,and TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ had lower expressions of serum miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p(P＜0.05),and higher expression of miR-155(P＜0.05)than those with moderate-high differen-tiation,no lymph node metastasis,and TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ.The expression levels of serum miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p were negatively correlated with the positive rate of Hp infection in elderly patients with gastric cancer(r=-0.443,-0.386,both P＜0.001),and the expression levels of serum miR-155 were positively correlated with the positive rate of Hp infection(r=0.525,P＜0.001).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum miR-1298-5p,miR-625-5p and miR-155 combined diagnosis of Hp infection in elderly gastric cancer pa-tients was higher than that of single diagnosis(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of miR-1298-5p and miR-625-5p in serum of elderly gastric cancer patients with Hp infection decrease,while the expression level of miR-155 increases.These three factors are related to the degree of Hp infection and have good diag-nostic value for the occurrence of Hp infection.

Objective To construct a prediction model for in-hospital mortality in the elderly(≥65 years)patients undergoing unsynchronous cardioversion in ICU and to evaluate its effectiveness.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 276 elderly eligible patients in the ICU of the Ninth and the First Medical Centers of Chinese PLA General Hospital between June 2022 and August 2024.According to their clinical outcomes,they were divided into a non-in-hospital dead group(111 cases)and an in-hospital dead group(165 cases).Clinical data were collected,and pre-dictive factors for in-hospital mortality were screened.And then a nomogram prediction model was developed based on the obtained predictive factors,which was evaluated with ROC curve and deci-sion curve analyses.Results When compared to the non-in-hospital dead group,the in-hospital dead group had significantly higher heart rate,ratio of hemodialysis,and levels of alanine amin-otransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,lactate dehydrogenase,alkaline phosphatase,serum cre-atinine,blood glucose,lactate,low base excess,sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score,model for end-stage liver disease score,and larger proportions of ventricular fibrillation/flutter and structural heart disease induced by pulseless ventricular tachycardia,and had significantly lower Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified body temperature＞37℃(OR=0.426,95％CI:0.198-0.915,P=0.029),chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(OR=2.333,95％CI:1.217-4.473,P=0.011),GCS score(OR=0.622,95％CI:0.410-0.944,P=0.026),hemoglobin(OR=0.817,95％CI:0.715-0.934,P=0.003),lactate(OR=1.365,95％CI:1.174-1.587,P=0.000),heart rate＞100 bpm(OR=2.757,95％CI:1.397-5.441,P=0.003),and SOFA score(OR=1.112,95％CI:1.032-1.198,P=0.005)as pre-dictors of in-hospital mortality.ROC curve analysis showed an AUC value of above indicators combined together in the prediction was 0.797,with a sensitivity of 76.97％and a specificity of 65.77％.Calibration curve analysis demonstrated good consistency between predicted and observed outcomes.Decision curve analysis indicated favorable clinical utility of the model.Conclusion This study identifies independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality among elderly patients in the ICU who underwent asynchronous cardioversion.Based on these factors,a nomo-gram model is established,demonstrating good discrimination,calibration,and model fit,with high clinical applicability.

Objective:To study the safety and efficiency of endovascular treatment in pediatric severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST).Methods:This was a case series study.Data of pediatric severe CVST patients who received endovascular treatment in the Department of Neurointerventional, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The technical success rate, periprocedural complications, neurologic and radiologic outcomes were collected to study the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment in pediatric severe CVST.Results:A total of 15 patients were included in this study, including 6 males(40.0%) and 9 females(60.0%) with a mean age of(14.60±2.26) years.The modified Rankin Scale score(mRS) before endovascular treatment was(3.47±1.06) points, and the time from onset to endovascular treatment was 17(12-26) days.Thirteen patients(86.7%) received mechanical thrombectomy through catheter aspiration and/or stent-retriever thrombectomy followed or not followed by intrasinus thrombolysis(IST), and 2 patients(13.3%) received IST only.The technical success rate was 100%.Three patients(20.0%) had periprocedural complications.Ten patients(66.7%) had mRS≤2 points at discharge.Twelve patients(80.0%) had valuable neurologic and radiologic follow-ups with a duration of 9.5(3.5-19.0) months, and they all had mRS≤2 points.Among the 12 patients, 8(66.7%) had good cerebral venous recanalization.Conclusions:Endovascular treatment is technically feasible in pediatric severe CVST patients, with acceptable safety and efficacy.

Activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)by Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1)alkylation plays a central role in anti-inflammatory therapy.However,activators of Nrf2 through alkylation of Keap1-Kelch domain have not been identified.Deoxynyboquinone(DNQ)is a natural small molecule discovered from marine actinomycetes.The current study was designed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects and molecular mechanisms of DNQ via alkylation of Keap1.DNQ exhibited signif-icant anti-inflammatory properties both in vitro and in vivo.The pharmacophore responsible for the anti-inflammatory properties of DNQ was determined to be the α,β-unsaturated amides moieties by a chemical reaction between DNQ and N-acetylcysteine.DNQ exerted anti-inflammatory effects through activation of Nrf2/ARE pathway.Keap1 was demonstrated to be the direct target of DNQ and bound with DNQ through conjugate addition reaction involving alkylation.The specific alkylation site of DNQ on Keap1 for Nrf2 activation was elucidated with a synthesized probe in conjunction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.DNQ triggered the ubiquitination and subsequent degra-dation of Keap1 by alkylation of the cysteine residue 489(Cys489)on Keap1-Kelch domain,ultimately enabling the activation of Nrf2.Our findings revealed that DNQ exhibited potent anti-inflammatory capacity through α,β-unsaturated amides moieties active group which specifically activated Nrf2 signal pathway via alkylation/ubiquitination of Keap1-Kelch domain,suggesting the potential values of targeting Cys489 on Keap1-Kelch domain by DNQ-like small molecules in inflammatory therapies.
