Background: and Purpose Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIA) are associated with a mortality rate of up to 40% in the Chinese population, highlighting the critical need for targeted treatment interventions for at-risk individuals. Although the impact of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene mutations on susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (IA) is well documented, the potential connection between ALDH2 rs671 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and RIA remains unexplored. Given the increased prevalence of ALDH2 gene mutations among Chinese Han individuals, it is clinically relevant to investigate the link between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and IA rupture. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 546 patients diagnosed with IA to investigate the association between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and the risk of IA rupture. Results: The ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*2) was significantly more prevalent in patients with unruptured IA (UIA) than in those with RIA (32.56% vs. 18.58%, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that people with the ALDH2 mutation (ALDH2*1/*2 and ALDH2*2/*2 gene type) had a significantly reduced odds ratio (OR=0.49; 95% confidence level [CI] 0.27–0.88; P=0.018) for RIAs. Age-specific subgroup analysis indicated that the ALDH2 mutation provided a stronger protective effect in individuals aged 60 years and above with IA compared to those under 60 years old (OR=0.38 vs. OR=0.52, both P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of RIA was significantly higher in individuals with a normal ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*1/*1) than in those with an ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*1/*2 or ALDH2*2/*2). ALDH2 rs671 SNP may serve as a protective factor against RIA in the Chinese Han population.

Objective To investigate the presence of pepsin and trypsin in the middle ear effusion of children with acute suppurative otitis media(ASOM).Methods Middle ear effusion samples were collected from 71 children with ASOM at Children's Hospital of Xuzhou.According to the characteristics of the middle ear effusions,the effu-sion was divided into serous and mucous types.The pH testing,Western Blotting(WB),and enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay(ELISA)were performed.Results ① There were 49.29％(35/71)of ASOM patients had a posi-tive RSI score(＞13).② The positive rate of pepsin in ASOM children was 49.29％(35/71),and the positive rate of trypsin was 42.25％(30/71).In addition,the positive rate of pepsin in RSI-positive children was 100％(35/35),and the positive rate of trypsin was 60％(21/35).There was no significant difference in the positive rate of pepsin and trypsin between serous and mucous middle ear effusion(P＞0.05).③ The pepsin concentration was 47.80(39.80,69.30)ng/ml and the trypsin concentration was 291.87±20.45 ng/ml in middle ear effusion of chil-dren with ASOM who had a positive WB test,and the trypsin concentration was significantly higher than pepsin(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between the pepsin and the trypsin concentrations in serous and mu-cous middle ear effusion(P＞0.05).④ The pH value of mucous middle ear effusion was 7.39±0.28,and the pH value of serous middle ear effusion was 7.36±0.26.There was no significant difference between the pH value in se-rous and mucous middle ear effusion(P＞0.05).Conclusion The detection rates of pepsin and trypsin in middle ear effusion of children with ASOM were high which has important diagnostic value for children with ASOM combined with LPRD.

ObjectiveTo explore the therapeutic mechanism of Faeces Bombycis on diabetic gastroparesis （DGP） rats based on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian rapamycin target protein （PI3K/Akt/mTOR） signaling pathway. MethodDGP rat model was prepared by random selection of 15 out of 105 rats as blank group. The rats successfully constructed were randomly divided into model group， high-，medium- and low- dose groups （3.2， 1.6， 0.8 g·kg^-1） and moxapride group （1.5 mg·kg^-1）， with 12 rats in each group， and were given gavage for 4 weeks. The gastric emptying rate and random blood glucose were measured. The morphological changes of gastric antrum were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and the expression of the c-Kit gene was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The apoptosis of Cajal interstitial cells was observed by in situ end labeling （TUNEL） staining， and the protein expressions of PI3K， phosphorylation（p）-PI3K， Akt， p-Akt， mTOR， and p-mTOR were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the blank group， the gastric emptying rate of the model group decreased significantly （P<0.01）， and the glandular structure of the gastric antrum was destroyed. The expression of c-Kit decreased （P<0.01）， and the apoptosis of Cajal interstitial cells （ICC） increased. Compared with the model group， the gastric emptying rate in the high， middle， and low-dose groups of Faeces Bombycis extract and mosapride group increased significantly （P<0.01）. The glandular structure of the gastric antrum became closer， and the apoptosis of ICC decreased. The expression of c-Kit in the high dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract increased significantly. After Western blot testing， compared with the blank group， the protein expression of p-Akt/Akt， p-PI3K/PI3K， and p-mTOR/mTOR in the model group increased. Compared with the model group， the protein expression of p-Akt/Akt in the high dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract decreased （P<0.01）， and the protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K decreased in the middle and low dose groups of Faeces Bombycis extract and mosapride group decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The protein expression of p-mTOR/mTOR decreased in the low dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract （P<0.05）. In terms of random blood glucose， compared with the blank group， the random blood glucose in the model group increased significantly （P<0.01）， and compared with the model group， the random blood glucose in the high and middle dose groups of Faeces Bombycis extract decreased significantly （P<0.05）. Compared with mosapride group， the protein expression of p-Akt/Akt decreased in the high dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract （P<0.05）， and the protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K increased in the high， middle， and low dose groups of Faeces Bombycis extract （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionFaeces Bombycis extract can increase gastric emptying rate， reduce ICC apoptosis， and lower random blood glucose in DGP rats. The high dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract has a significant effect on inhibiting ICC apoptosis， and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors empagliflozin (EMPA) and dapagliflozin(DAPA) on palmitic acid(PA)-induced injury of rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes and its possible mechanism. METHODS H9c2 myocardial cell injury was induced by PA. CCK-8 method was used to screen the optimal dosage of PA, EMPA and DAPA. The protein expression levels of TLR4, p-AKT, p-mTOR, Nrf2 and HO-1 were detected by Western blotting. The expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α were detected by ELISA. ROS levels in PA-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes were determined by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. RESULTS The survival rate of H9c2 cardiomyocytes decreased significantly after treatment of PA 100 μmol·L-1 for 24 h(P<0.01), the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TLR4, p-mTOR and ROS were significantly increased(P<0.01), and the protein expression of p-AKT, Nrf2 and HO-1 was significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the cell survival rate was significantly increased after EMPA and DAPA treatment(P<0.01), the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TLR4, p-mTOR and ROS levels were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the protein expression of p-AKT, Nrf2 and HO-1 was significantly up-regulated(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSION EMPA and DAPA have protective effects on PA-induced cardiomyocyte injury, and the mechanism may be related to down-regulation of TLR4 and p-mTOR protein expression, enhancement of AKT protein phosphorylation, activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, and inhibition of ROS generation.

Objective:To explore the application effect of formative assessment combined with Ladder type teaching on the teaching of standardized training of nephropathy and endocrinology.Methods:A total of 39 residents who rotated in the Department of Nephrology and Endocrinology, Sichuan Science City Hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 were included in the control group and were taught routinely, and another 42 residents who rotated from April 2020 to April 2021 were classified as a research group and were given formative assessment and Ladder type teaching. The out-department assessment results between the two groups were compared, and the mini-clinical exercise evaluation (Mini-CEX), normal performance assessment and 360-degree evaluation results of the research group when entering and exiting the department were compared. The students' satisfaction with teaching between the two groups was also compared. SPSS 24.0 was used for t test, chi-square test and rank sum test. Results:The scores of theory, skill manipulation and case analysis in the research group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The Mini-CEX score, usual performance assessment score and 360-degree evaluation score in the research group when exiting the department were all higher than those when entering the department, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in the grades distribution of teaching satisfaction degrees between the two groups ( P<0.05), and the total satisfaction rate of the research group was higher than that of the control group. Conclusion:The use of formative assessment combined with Ladder type teaching in the standardized training of nephropathy and endocrinology can significantly improve the scores of the residents and their clinical comprehensive literacy, and increase the satisfaction of teaching, with great value of popularization and application.
