Objective To explore the level of energy balance related protein antibody,adropin,and its correlation with collateral circulation status in elderly patients with AMI.Methods A total of 193 elderly AMI patients admitted to our department from February 2022 to February 2024 were enrolled,and based on their collateral circulation status,they were divided into a good circulation group(121 cases)and a poor circulation group(72 cases).The level of adropin was determined.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the influencing factors of poor collateral circulation in elderly AMI patients.Results The poor circulation group had significantly larger proportion of hypertension,higher fasting blood glucose(FBG),and larger red blood cell distribution width(RDW),but lower adropin level and mean platelet volume(MPV)when com-pared with the good circulation group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analy-sis showed that adropin,FBG,RDW,MPV,and hypertension were all influencing factors for poor collateral circulation in elderly AMI patients(P<0.05,P<0.01).The AUC value of adropin,FBG,RDW,MPV,and hypertension was 0.810,0.762,0.761,0.715 and 0.563,respectively in pre-dicting poor collateral circulation.Among them,adropin level had the highest predictive value(P<0.01).Conclusion The decrease in adropin level in elderly AMI patients is closely associated with poor collateral circulation,and it is a predictive factor for collateral circulation.

A 51-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever lasting for one day. The clinical diagnosis was acute pelvic inflammatory disease and adenomyosis. Empirical treatment with cefoperazone/sulbactam sodium was given. Six days later, the blood culture reported Campylobacter jejuni ( C. jejuni), and nine days later, the patient was discharged with negative blood culture. The strain was identified as C. jejuni by morphology and matrix-assisted laser de-sorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Whole-genome sequencing predicted that the multi-locus sequence type was ST7268 (ST464 complex), which was a new invasive clone of foodborne C. jejuni with typical molecular characteristics of high vitality, high virulence and high resistance.

Objective:To summarise and analyse the experience in the diagnosis and management of abdominal aortic endograft infection in recent years.Methods:Retrospectively summarised and analysed the general data, clinical presentation, laboratory and imaging findings, causative organisms and treatment choices of 14 patients with abdominal aortic endograft infection treated in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2018 to June 2024, and analysed the prognosis of the patients and the risk factors associated with prognosis.Results:Positive bacterial cultures were 10 out of 14 patients. One non-operatively treated patient died of infectious toxic shock. Thirteen surgically treated patients underwent axillary-bifemoral artery bypass, removal of the infected stent, and closure of the aortic stump. Four of the 13 cases had combined aortoenteric fistula, 3 cases underwent one-stage enterocutaneous fistula repair, 1 case only fistula drainage, 3 cases of gastrojejunal anastomosis, all of them underwent gastric or jejunal nutrient tube implantation. Two of the 13 patients had combined the infection foci spread to the renal artery openings. To save the kidney, intraoperative left kidney autologous renal transplantation was performed in 1 case, and autologous saphenous vein reconstruction from celiac trunk artery-left renal artery and superior mesenteric artery-right renal artery was performed in the other case. All 14 patients were retrospectively summarised and followed up in August 2024, with 5 deaths in the early postoperative period (< 3 months), 3 deaths in the mid- to long-term period (≥3 months), and 5 survivors, with a median follow-up time of 2 years (1-5 years) for surviving patients. Among the 13 operated patients, 4 cases were combined with aortoenteric fistula, and 3 cases died in the early postoperative period; 4 cases of abdominal aortic infection foci involving renal artery openings, 2 cases of early postoperative death; 4 cases with pleural effusion, 4 cases died in the early postoperative period; 2 cases of combined creatinine elevation, 2 cases of early postoperative death; 2 cases of postoperative infection of artificial blood vessels.Conclusions:Abdominal aortic endograft infection are aggressive. The risk of early death is increased in patients who are elderly, in poor general condition, with aortoenteric fistula or with pre-existing cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic and renal insufficiency, but surgery based on adequate anti-infective therapy remains an effective means of saving the patient′s life.

AIM:In this study,bioinformatics tech-nology was used to explore the differentially ex-pressed genes in antibody-mediated rejection after renal transplantation,and to screen out the possi-ble mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets of AMR-related miRNAs after renal transplantation,in order to provide new idea for the targeted thera-py of AMR after transplantation.METHODS:The dataset GSE115816 was downloaded from the GEO database,and the differential expression of miR-NAs in stable renal transplantation(SGF)group and the antibody-mediated rejection(AMR)group after renal transplantation was analyzed online by using DESeq 2R software.TargetScan software predicted the related targets of miRNAs,and the differential-ly expressed genes(DEGs)were analyzed through through gene ontology(GO)enrichment analysis and Kyoto gene and genome encyclopedia(KEGG)enrichment analysis,then key genes were screened by String database and Cytoscape,and finally veri-fied by TargetScan online analysis.RESULTS:A total of 10 differentially expressed miRNAs were identi-fied in the AMR group by comparison with the SGF group,with the most significant difference in ex-pression of miR-144-5p.A total of 143 miR-144-5p related targets were predicted by Targetscan soft-ware.GO analysis showed that DEGs were mainly involved in angiogenesis,synaptic signaling,and transcriptional co-activator regulation.KEGG analy-sis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in the thyroid hormone signaling pathway,human papillo-mavirus infection,and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.The 10 Hug genes were screened by PPI network.Based on the 6 algorithms in cytoHubba,5 key genes were obtained by taking the intersection of the top 10 Hug genes of each algorithm,which were NCOA2,NCOA1,FOXO1,PAX3,and PPARGC1A.After the literature review,we found that FoxO1 plays an essential role in immune sys-tem diseases and kidney diseases.In our study,we chose FoxO1 as a potential target protein for miR-144-5p.Finally,TargetScan online analysis showed that miR-144-5p has a targeted binding site with the 3'UTR region of FoxO1.CONCLUSION:MiR-144-5p plays an important role in AMR after Kidney transplantation.MiR-144-5p targeting FoxO1 may be a potential therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker for AMR.
