The primary role of transfer RNA(tRNA)is to connect a specific amino acid to its 3' end, use its anticodon to match the codon on messenger RNA(mRNA), and deliver the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome for protein synthesis.tRNA exists in two forms: precursor tRNA and mature tRNA.When acted upon by enzymes like Dicer, elaC ribonuclease Z 2(ELAC2), angiopoietin(ANG), and other ribonucleases, tRNA is broken down into tRNA-derived stress-induced RNA(tiRNA)and tRNA-derived fragments(tRF).Recent advancements in RNA sequencing technology have led to increased interest in tiRNA and tRF, shedding light on their roles in various physiological and pathological processes.tRNA-derived small molecules(tsRNA)function similarly to microRNA(miRNA), influencing gene expression and protein synthesis.They show promise as diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets for age-related diseases.This review offers a comprehensive analysis of tsRNA classification, biological functions, research advancements, and clinical applications in age-related conditions.

Objective To establish a Nomogram model based on serum tumor markers to assess the risk of pleural metastasis in patients with stage Ⅲ lung cancer,and to validate the constructed model.Methods A to-tal of 140 patients with stage Ⅲ lung cancer in the hospital from January 2022 to October 2024 were selected as the research subjects.They were divided into the metastasis group(36 cases)and the non-metastasis group(104 cases)based on whether pleural metastasis occurred.Clinical data of patients in the two groups were col-lected,and the levels of serum tumor markers[carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),cancer antigen(CA)125,CA15-3,CA19-9]of patients in the two groups were detected simultaneously.The risk factors affecting pleural metastasis in patients with stage Ⅲ lung cancer were screened,and the risk of pleural metastasis in patients with stage Ⅲ lung cancer was evaluated by constructing a Nomogram model based on serum tumor markers,and the constructed prediction model was validated.Results The proportion of smoking history,maximum tumor diameter≥4 cm,lymph node metastasis and low differentiation in metastatic group were higher than those in non-metastatic group(P<0.05).Compared with non-metastatic group,serum CEA,CA125,CA15-3 and CA19-9 levels in metastatic group were higher(P<0.05).Multiuariate Logistic regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis,low differentiation and abnormal increase of CEA,CA125,CA15-3 and CA19-9 levels were independent risk factors for pleural metastasis in stage Ⅲ lung cancer patients(P<0.05).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the Nomogram model constructed based on serum tumor markers was 0.896(95%CI:0.812-0.991),which proved that the model had good predic-tive efficacy.The calibration curve of the model confirmed that there was a good agreement between the pre-dicted risk and the actual risk,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit curve test x2=1.602,P=0.638.The results of the decision curve analysis show that this model could achieve a relatively high net benefit with-in the range of 0%to 80%.Conclusion The Nomogram model based on serum tumor markers can effectively evaluate the risk of pleural metastasis in patients with stage Ⅲ lung cancer,and has good calibration,goodness of fit and clinical practicability.

With the extension of the global population's lifespan and the increasingly severe aging problem,cardio-vascular diseases have become the leading cause of death among the elderly population.Most cardiovascular diseases orig-inate from the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.In addition to common risk factors such as dyslipidemia,diabetes,hy-pertension,smoking,and obesity,circadian rhythm disruption is also regarded as an important but often overlooked risk factor for atherosclerosis.The circadian rhythm is involved in regulating key physiological processes such as inflammation and metabolism,which in turn affect the pathological processes of arteriosclerosis and thrombosis.In this process,the key genes that maintain the stability of the circadian rhythm,namely clock gene,play a crucial role.Clock gene have an important role in the pathological mechanism of atherosclerosis,and they may become potential new targets for the preven-tion and treatment of atherosclerosis.This paper reviews the latest research progress on the mechanism of action of clock gene in the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis.These findings may provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application effect of Zishen Yutai Pill in patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF) undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted, selecting 744 cycles of patients with RIF at the Department of Female Reproductive Medicine,State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Medicine and Offspring Health, Center for Reproductive Medicine, Institute of Women, Children and Reproductive Health, Shandong University from October 2017 to April 2023. The patients were divided into experimental group (treated with Zishen Yutai Pill, n=279) and control group (treated without Zishen Yutai Pill, n=465) based on whether Zishen Yutai Pill was added to luteal support. The pregnancy outcomes between the two groups were compared. Based on the different endometrial preparation protocols in the FET cycles, the patients were used down-regulation protocol ( n=271) or non-down-regulation protocol ( n=473). The pregnancy outcomes of the two groups in each protocol were compared. Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, embryo implantation rate, early miscarriage rate, late miscarriage rate, and live birth rate (all P>0.05). However, the biochemical pregnancy rate [69.0% (58/84)], clinical pregnancy rate [59.5% (50/84)], and embryo implantation rate [59.4% (57/96)] in the experimental group of the down-regulated protocol were significantly higher than those in control group [56.1% (105/187), P=0.045; 46.5% (87/187), P=0.048; 44.9% (92/205), P=0.019], with statistically significant differences. In the non-down-regulated protocol, there were no statistically significant differences in pregnancy outcomes between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:In the FET down-regulated protocol, Zishen Yutai Pill can significantly improve the clinical pregnancy rate and the embryo implantation rate in patients with RIF, thereby improving pregnancy outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the impact of perceived barriers to cardiac rehabilitation on adherence to cardiac rehabilitation and the mediating effect of cardiac impact denial in elderly patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) .Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From August 2023 to July 2024, 336 elderly patients with PCI who were discharged from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University and needed phaseⅡ cardiac rehabilitation were selected for the study. General Information Questionnaire, Adherence of Cardiac Rehabilitation Assessment Scale in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease (ACRAS-CHD) , Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS) , and Cardiac Denial of Impact Scale (CDIS) were used to survey the patients. Bootstrap method was used to sample 5 000 for mediating effect tests.Results:A total of 336 questionnaires were distributed and 324 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 96.43% (324/336) . Among 324 elderly patients after PCI, ACRAS-CHD score, CRBS score, and CDIS score were (73.19±5.46) , (79.35±6.60) , and (30.57±3.66) , respectively. The direct effect of perceived barriers to cardiac rehabilitation on adherence to cardiac rehabilitation in elderly patients after PCI was -0.368, which accounted for 74.49% (-0.368/-0.494) of the total effect. The mediating effect of cardiac impact denial between perceived barriers to cardiac rehabilitation and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation in elderly patients after PCI was -0.126, which accounted for 25.51% of the total effect (-0.126/-0.494) .Conclusions:Elderly patients after PCI have poor adherence to cardiac rehabilitation. Perceived cardiac rehabilitation barriers reduce cardiac rehabilitation adherence in elderly patients after PCI, and cardiac impact denial exerts a partial mediating effect between perceived cardiac rehabilitation barriers and cardiac rehabilitation adherence.
