BACKGROUND:Neuregulin 1 has been shown to be characterized in cell proliferation,differentiation,and vascular growth.Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells are important seed cells in the field of tissue engineering,and have been shown to be involved in tissue repair and regeneration. OBJECTIVE:To construct human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing neuregulin 1 and investigate their proliferation and migration abilities,as well as their effects on wound healing. METHODS:(1)Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells were in vitro isolated and cultured and identified.(2)A lentivirus overexpressing neuregulin 1 was constructed.Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells were divided into empty group,neuregulin 1 group,and control group,and transfected with empty lentivirus and lentivirus overexpressing neuregulin 1,or not transfected,respectively.(3)Edu assay was used to detect the proliferation ability of the cells of each group,and Transwell assay was used to detect the migration ability of the cells.(4)The C57 BL/6 mouse trauma models were constructed and randomly divided into control group,empty group,neuregulin 1 group,with 8 mice in each group.Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells transfected with empty lentivirus or lentivirus overexpressing neuregulin-1 were uniformly injected with 1 mL at multiple local wound sites.The control group was injected with an equal amount of saline.(5)The healing of the trauma was observed at 1,7,and 14 days after model establishment.Histological changes of the healing of the trauma were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The expression of CD31 on the trauma was observed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing neuregulin-1 were successfully constructed.The mRNA and protein expression of intracellular neuregulin 1 was significantly up-regulated compared with the empty group(P<0.05).(2)The overexpression of neuregulin 1 promoted the migratory ability(P<0.01)and proliferative ability of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells(P<0.05).(3)Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing neuregulin 1 promoted wound healing in mice(P<0.05)and wound angiogenesis(P<0.05).The results showed that overexpression of neuregulin 1 resulted in an increase in the proliferative and migratory capacities of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells,significantly promoting wound healing and angiogenesis.

BACKGROUND:The morphological indexes of ankle point may change after ankle fracture,and there is a certain correlation between the coronal angle change of ankle point and the functional recovery of ankle joint.Most previous studies have studied the height recovery of ankle point after surgery,so the correlation between the fluctuation of coronal angle of ankle point and the functional recovery of ankle joint after ankle fracture has certain reference significance. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of coronal angle change of ankle point on joint function recovery after ankle fracture. METHODS:A total of 86 patients with ankle fracture who underwent surgical treatment were selected as the study objects,and were divided into excellent group(n=45)and poor group(n=41)according to the results of American Orthopaedic Foot&Ankle Society(AOFAS)hindfoot-ankle score during the last follow-up,and the general data of the two groups were compared.The morphological indexes of ankle points on the affected side and healthy side were compared after surgery based on ankle acupoints and lateral X-rays of the ankle joint,including the width and depth of ankle points,coronal angle and sagittal angle,and the difference of ankle points between the affected side and healthy side,and further comparison and analysis were conducted in each group.A joint model was constructed and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between coronal angle fluctuation and joint function recovery.Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression method and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors affecting the recovery of joint function.The patients were divided into 5-quartile array(Q1-Q5)according to the angle of coronal position at ankle point from low to high.The clinical data characteristics of the five groups were compared,and the correlation between the change of coronal position at ankle point and the risk of poor recovery of joint function was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.A restricted cubic spline Logistic regression model was established to analyze the dose-response relationship.The prediction model of regression equation y=1-1/(1+e-z)was established and verified. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The width and depth of ankle point on the affected side,coronal angle and sagittal angle were significantly higher than those on the healthy side(all P<0.05),and compared with the excellent group,the difference of ankle point width,depth difference,coronal angle difference and sagittal angle difference were greater in the poor group(P<0.05).(2)The combined model showed that the risk of poor joint function was increased by 3%for every 1? increase in coronal angle,regardless of whether the angle was within the normal range.(3)Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and multivariate Logistics regression analysis showed that after adjusting for potential confounding factors,it was found that age,lack of functional exercise in early stage,no calcaneal traction,failure to remove internal fixation,postoperative complications,and increased ankle coronal angle were independent risk factors for joint function recovery(P<0.05).(4)The coronal angle within 3 months after surgery was independently correlated with the risk of poor joint function recovery(OR=1.57,95%CI:1.38-1.76,P=0.002),and the trend test of the coronal angle from low to high quintile in each postoperative period had statistical significance(Ptrend<0.001).(5)Restricted cubic spline model analysis showed that there was no nonlinear relationship between the coronal angle change of ankle point and the risk of poor joint function recovery in males or females.Through Bootstrap self-sampling,the prediction model has good differentiation and accuracy.(6)The reduction of coronal angle of ankle point after ankle fracture plays a significant role in promoting the recovery of joint function.Therefore,the detection of coronal angle of ankle point after ankle fracture is helpful to understand the recovery of joint function of patients.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accompanied with KMT2D gene mutation and the impact of its co-mutated genes on prognosis. Methods Clinical data of 155 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients were obtained. The second-generation sequencing method was used to detect 475 hotspot genes, including KMT2D mutation. Patients were divided into the KMT2D mutation group and KMT2D wild-type group based on the presence or absence of KMT2D gene mutation. Clinical characteristics, differences in co-mutated genes, and survival differences between the two groups were compared. Results The frequency of KMT2D mutation was 31%, which is predominantly observed in elderly patients (P=0.07) and less in the double-expressor phenotype (P=0.07). Compared with the KMT2D wild-type group, KMT2D gene mutation was associated with higher co-mutation rates of CDKN2A (OR=2.82, P=0.01) and BCL2 (OR=3.84, P=0.016), while being mutually exclusive with MYC gene mutation (OR=0.11, P=0.013). In univariate survival analysis, no statistically significant difference in overall survival (OS) was found between the KMT2D mutation group and the wild-type group (P=0.54). Further analysis of the prognostic significance of KMT2D with other gene mutations indicated that patients with KMT2D^mutBTG2^mut had poorer OS than those with KMT2D^wt BTG2^mut (P=0.07) and KMT2D^wt BTG2^wt (P=0.05). On the contrary, patients with KMT2D^mut CD79B^mut had better OS than those with KMT2D^mut CD79B^wt (P=0.09), with no prognostic impact observed for other co-mutated genes. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that Ann Arbor stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ (HR=2.751, 95%CI: 1.169-6.472, P=0.02), elevated LDH levels (HR=2.461, 95%CI: 1.396-4.337, P=0.002), Ki-67 index>80% (HR=1.875, 95%CI: 1.066-3.299, P=0.029), and KMT2D^mutBTG2^mut(HR=4.566, 95%CI: 1.348-15.471, P=0.015) were independent risk factors for OS in patients with DLBCL (P<0.05). Conclusion DLBCL patients with KMT2D mutation often have multiple gene mutations, among which patients with a co-mutated BTG2 gene have poor prognosis.

Aim To explore the effects of Huannao Yicong decoction(HYD)on the learning and memory ability and brain iron metabolism in APP/PS1 mice and the correlation of HAMP knockout mice and APP/PS1 double transgenic model mice.Methods The ex-periment was divided into five groups,namely,HAMP-/-group(6-month HAMP gene knockout mice),APP/PS1 group(6-month APP/PS1-double-transgenic mice),HAMP-/-+HYD,APP/PS1+HYD,and negative control group(6-month C57BL/6J mice),with six mice in each group.The dose was ad-ministered(13.68 g·kg-1 weight),and the other groups received distilled water for gavage once a day for two months.After the administration of the drug,the mice in each group were tested for learning and memory in the Morris water maze;Biochemical detec-tion was performed to detect iron ion content in each mouse brain;Western blot and RT-qPCR were carried out to analyze hippocampal transferrin(TF),transfer-rin receptor1(TFR1),membrane iron transporter1(FPN1)divalent metal ion transporter 1(DMT1)and β-amyloid protein(Aβ)protein and mRNA expression levels in each group.Results Compared with the normal group,both HAMP-/-mice and APP/PS1 mice had reduced the learning and memory capacity,in-creased iron content in brain tissue,Aβ protein ex-pression increased in hippocampus of HAMP-/-group and APP/PS1 group mice(P＜0.01),the protein and mRNA expression of TF,TFR1 and DMT1 increased in hippocampal tissues of HAMP-/-and APP/PS1 groups(P＜0.01),and the FPN1 protein and mRNA expres-sion decreased(P＜0.01).Compared with the HAMP-and APP/PS1 groups,respectively,HAMP-/-+HYD group and APP/PS1+HYD group had improved learning and memory ability,decreased iron content,decreased Aβ protein expression(P＜0.01),decreased TF,TFR1,DMT1 protein and mR-NA expression(P＜0.01),and increased expression of FPN1 protein and mRNA(P＜0.01).Conclusions There is some association between HAMP-/-mice and APP/PS1 mice,HYD can improve the learning and memory ability of HAMP-/-and APP/PS1 mice and reduce the Aβ deposition.The mechanism may be related to the regulation of TF,TFR1,DMT1,FPN1 expression and improving brain iron overload.

Objective To explore the application value of multimodal monitoring in postoperative evaluation of neurointerventional surgery in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Method A total of 86 patients with acute ischemic stroke who received neurointerventional surgery in the Neurointensive Care Unit of Department of Neurology in Tangshan People's Hospital from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected,and they were randomly divided into the routine group and the multimodal group by 1∶1 ratio,with 43 cases in each group.Patients in the routine group were routinely monitored.Patients in the multimodal group were given non-invasive intracranial pressure monitoring,transcranial Doppler monitoring and electroencephalogram monitoring on the basis of routine monitoring,and the corresponding treatments were adjusted according to the monitoring results.The National Institute of health stroke scale(NIHSS)was used to evaluate the improvement of neurological deficits of patients,and the modified Rankin scale(mRS)score was used to evaluate the 90-day prognosis of patients.The incidence of intracranial hemorrhage within 24 hours,symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 24 hours,decompressive craniectomy surgery,and the mortality were recorded to evaluate the prognosis.Results There was no statistically significant difference in age,gender,hypertension history,diabetes history,atrial fibrillation history,smoking history,NIHSS score at admission,mRS score at admission,intravenous thrombolysis ratio,time from onset to vascular opening,postoperative blood flow classification,occlusion site,and TOAST classification of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The 90-day mRS score of patients in the multimodal group was significantly lower than that in the routine group(P<0.05);The proportion of patients with 90-day mRS score of 4 to 6 points in the multimodal group was significantly lower than that in the routine group(P<0.05);The improvement of NIHSS score from baseline to 14 days of patients in the multimodal group was significantly better than that in the routine group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage within 24 hours,symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 24 hours,decompressive craniectomy surgery,and the 90-day mortality between the two groups(P>0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that 90-day mRS score was positively correlated with the change of NIHSS score from baseline to 14 days(r=0.419,P<0.05).Conclusion Multimodal monitoring of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing neurointervention surgery,combined with multimodal monitoring indicators to guide clinical individualized treatment can improve the neurological prognosis of patients,reduce the incidence of complications and mortality.

Objective To explore the short-term outcome and safety of 577 nm subthreshold micropulse laser(SML)in the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy(CSC).Methods The clinical data of 22 patients(24 eyes)with CSC who were admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from April 2023 to April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The 12 eyes had acute CSC,the 12 eyes had chronic CSC,and all of them were treated with SML.The changes of best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA),central macular thickness(CMT),subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT),subretinal fluid height(SRFH),and central macular sensitivity(CMS)before treatment and 1 month after treatment were analyzed.The absorption of subretinal fluid 1 month after treatment and related complications were observed.Results Compared with those before treatment,the CMT,SFCT,and SRFH 1 month after treatment significantly declined(P<0.05).The LogMAR BCVA and CMS 1 month after treatment were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.05).The CMS(r=-0.555,P=0.006)and LogMAR BCVA(r=0.439,P=0.032)before treatment were significantly correlated with SRFH before treatment.The change of SRFH was significantly correlated with CMT before treatment(r=0.616,P=0.001),but without correlation with SFCT before treatment(r=0.168,P=0.431).One month after treatment,11 eyes had complete absorption of subretinal fluid,12 eyes had varying degrees of absorption,and 1 eye had an increase in SRFH.No related adverse reactions were observed.Conclusion The 577 nm SML has a good therapeutic effect on CSC,which can significantly improve the macular structure and central visual function,with good safety.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine(DEX)on the malignant biological behavior of gastric cancer(GC)cells through the immune regulation mechanism mediated by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon gene(cGAS-STING)pathway.Methods:GC cell line MGC-803 was randomly divided into Control group(blank medium treatment),DEX low concentration group(DEX-L group,1 ng/ml),DEX medium concentration group(DEX-M group,10 ng/ml),DEX high concentra-tion group(DEX-H group,100 ng/ml)and DEX high concentration+cGAS inhibitor RU.521 group(DEX-H+RU.521 group,100 ng/ml DEX+1.0 μmol/L RU.521).Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 method.Cell scratch test was used to detect the migration ability of cells in each group.Transwell test was used to detect the invasive ability of cells in each group.The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry.The levels of IL-2,interferon gamma(IFN-γ)and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)in cells were detected by ELISA.Real time-fluorescent quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)was applied to detect the expression levels of cGAS,STING and interferon typeⅠ(IFN-Ⅰ)mRNA.Western blot was used to detect the expressions of cGAS,STING,Bax,CyclinD1,matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP9),N-cadherin,Vimentin,E-cadherin,Caspase3,Caspase8 and their shear type and phosphorylation level of TANK-binding kinase 1(TBK1)and interferon regulatory factor 3(IRF3).Results:Compared with Control group,the cell migration rate,number of cell invasions,TNF-α level,CyclinD1,MMP9,N-cadherin,Vimentin protein expressions in MGC-803 cells in DEX-M and DEX-H groups were decreased obviously(P<0.05),the growth inhibition rate(48 h,72 h),apoptosis rate,IL-2,IFN-γ,Bax,E-cadherin,Cleaved Caspase3,Cleaved Caspase8 protein expression levels,cGAS,STING,IFN-Ⅰ mRNA levels and protein expression levels and phosphorylation levels of TBK1 and IRF3 were increased obviously(P<0.05).RU.521 weakened the inhibitory effects of DEX on the proliferation,migration and invasion of GC cells and the ability to induce apoptosis,and alleviated the improvement on immune function.Conclusion:DEX may inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of GC cells and induce apoptosis of GC cells by acti-vating cGAS-STING pathway mediated immune regulation.
