Objective To investigate the effects of ATP-binding cassette subfamily B transporter 6 subfamily B(ABCB6)on cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease(AD)rats and its possible potential regulatory molecular mechanisms.Methods Amyloid β-protein(Aβ)was injected to construct the AD mouse model in vivo.Water maze test and Y maze test were used to evaluate the learning and memory ability and space exploration ability of rats.An in vitro AD cell model was constructed by HT22 cells and Aβ.The binding relationship between YTH domain containing 1(YTHDC1)and ABCB6 was analyzed by RNA immuniprecipitation(RIP).Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect overexpression and knockdown transfection efficiency.Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression levels of YTHDC1 and ABCB6 proteins,as well as ferroptosis related proteins[Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11(SLC7A11),Glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)].Cell viability was detected with CCK-8.Malondialdehyde(MDA),Glutathione(GSH),Reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels and Fe2+content were analyzed by the assay kit.Results The ABCB6 mRNA(3.51±0.17 vs 1.02±0.01,3.45±0.21 vs 1.02±0.01)and protein(3.25±0.14 vs 1.01±0.01,3.14±0.16 vs 1.01±0.01)levels in the hippocampus of AD mice and Aβ-induced HT22 cells were up-regulated,and the differences were statistically significant(t=-46.238,-20.349;-50.468,-23.013,all P<0.001).Knocking down ABCB6 decreased the time and distance of AD mice reaching the platform,and increased the ratio of spontaneous exchange rate to the number of times of entered the new arm(t=27.007,11.264,24.414,19.901,all P<0.001).Knockdown ABCB6 promoted HT22 cell proliferation,decreased levels of MDA and Fe2+,increased GSH levels,reduced ROS generation,and promoted expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 proteins(t=2.883～26.122,all P<0.05).YTHDC1 protein promoted its stability by binding to ABCB6 mRNA and up-regulated the expression of ABCB6 protein.Knockdown of YTHDC1 decreased ABCB6 protein level(t=18.504,P<0.001),promoted the proliferation of HT22 cells,increased GSH content,SLC7A11 and GPX4 protein levels,decreased MDA and Fe2+content,and inhibited ROS production(t=4.404～14.486,all P<0.05).Knocking down YTHDC1 could improve the learning and memory ability and spatial exploration ability of AD mice.Over-expression of ABCB6 reversed the effects of YTHDC1 knockdown on ferroptosis in HT22 cells and cognitive dysfunction in AD mice.Conclusion YTHDC1 may induce ferroptosis of neuronal cells by mediating the up-regulation of ABCB6,thus promoting cognitive dysfunction in AD mice.

Objective:To investigate the effect of visceral obesity on the short-term curative effect of Da Vinci robotic-assisted radical resec-tion for rectal cancers.Methods:Clinical and pathological data of patients with rectal cancer undergoing Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery,admitted to People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from November 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Visceral fat area(VFA)≥100 cm2 was used as the standard to define visceral obesity.Patients were categorized in-to visceral and non-visceral obesity groups.The short-term efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the influencing factors of post-operative complications were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression.Results:Among a total of 169 patients,93 were included in the visceral obesity group and 76 in the non-visceral obesity group.There was no significant difference in the baseline data between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no conversion to laparotomy in the non-visceral obesity group,and the conversion rate was 1.1%(1/93)in the visceral obesity group.The second operation rate was 2.2%(2/93)in the visceral obesity group and 1.3%(1/76)in the non-visceral obesity group with no statistical difference between the two groups.There were no significant differences in the operation dur-ation,intraoperative blood loss,number of lymph node dissections,and total postoperative complication rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that an NRS≥3 independently contributed as a risk factor for postoperative com-plications(OR=3.190,95%CI:1.240-8.210,P=0.016).Conclusions:An NRS≥3 is an independent risk factor for complications post-robotic rad-ical rectal cancer surgery.The robotic surgical platform can overcome obesity-related limitations and is equally safe and effective for pa-tients with visceral obesity presenting with rectal cancer.

Volume dynamics is a two-compartment dynamical model using hemoglobin (Hb) derived plasma diluted level as input data and urine output as input variable through consecutive repeated measurements of Hb concentration in the blood during infusion. It could be applied to evaluate and guide crystalloid fluid rehydration for patients with dehydration or hypovolemia and during anesthesia or surgery. Volume dynamics could be also used to quantificate of strains, hypovolume, and the change of fluid distribution and elimination caused by anesthesia or surgery. The factors which influence the volume resuscitation are complex, including gender, age, hemodynamic state [mean arterial pressure (MAP)], health and stress state, renal function, consciousness, surgical or anesthesia state and so on, which may affect the half-life, distribution, and volume of the fluid. This article summarizes and analyzes the pathophysiological changes of crystalloids fluid in vivo, in order to provide reference for volume management in critically ill patients.

Craniosynostosis (CS) is a congenital skeletal disease caused by premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. According to whether accompanied by injuries in other organ systems besides craniofacial deformity, CS can be divided into syndromic craniosynostosis (SCS) and non-syndromes craniosynostosis (NSC), accounting for 85% and 15% respectively. Especially, SCS can lead to more serious clinical symptoms. The occurrence of CS is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors, including monogenic mutation, chromosome abnormality and gene polymorphism. Common related genes include FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, TWIST1, MSX1, ERF, TCF12. Most of published genetic studies on CS are concentrated in the European population, showing different genetic pathogenesis between SCS and NSC. Studies on molecular genetics of CS is important in the clinical diagnosis, treatment and genetic counseling. We reviewed the research status and progress of the pathogenesis of CS through the development of CS, as well as the genetic studies of SCS and NSC.

Objective:To explore the common pathogenic gene mutation in non-syndromic craniosynostosis in Chinese population.Methods:Patients with non-syndromic craniosynostosis were recruited in Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from March 2018 to December 2020. A clinical questionnaire was designed to collect the general information of the patients. The gene panel was designed by entering the keywords craniosynostosis and gene panel in PubMed, extracting all relevant literature from January 1995 to May 2017. The gene library was sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq X platform, and bioinformatic analysis and pathogenic analysis were performed.Results:A total of 237 literatures were reviewed in the PubMed and Ovid databases, and the total sample was 3375 patients, of which 1822 cases (54%) were detected with corresponding mutations, involving 21 pathogenic genes. Based on the mutation detection rate of not less than 0.4%, 12 genes were selected in the gene panel: FGFR2, TWIST1, FGFR3, EFNB1, FGFR1, SKI, POR, RAB23, TCF12, MSX2, SMAD3 and ERF. A total of 109 patients with non-syndromic craniosynostosis were recruited in this study, including 62 males and 47 females; the average age was 2.1 years old. All participants denied family history. The average age at childbearing of father was 28.3 years old and of mother was 26.7 years old. 14 different pathogenic/ probable pathogenic mutation loci were found in the gene sequences of 19 patients. The mutation rate was 17.4%. The 14 mutation varients were distributed in 5 genes (FGFR2, TWIST1 , TCF12, EFNB1 , and FGFR3) . The 14 mutations can be classified into 5 missense mutations, 3 nonsense mutations, 1 splice mutation, 1 frameshift mutation and 4 in-frame deletion mutations, 11 of which have not been reported. These 11 novel mutations were mainly concentrated in two genes, TWIST1 and TCF12. The mutation types included: 3 loss-of-function, 4 frameshift deletions, 3 missense mutations, and 1 frameshift insertion, of which 7 were de novo mutation.Conclusions:TWIST1 and TCF12 are common pathogenic genes in Chinese patients with non-syndromic craniosynostosis.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of the prophylactic optic canal decompression in frontol-orbital fibrous dysplasia surgery by three-dimensional simulation design and computer assisted navigation.Methods:A retrospected study was conducted in Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University.Patients with stable fronto-orbital fibrous dysplasia were recruited from January 2016 to June 2020. Preoperatively, three-dimensional simulation design was used to design the scope of resection. Then a subtotal resection of fibrous dysplasia lesion was performed by computer assisted navigation and reshaping of the orbit rim was achieved by preserving the fronto-orbital bandeau. Meanwhile, the intracanal and intraorbital parts of optic nerve canal decompression was performed. Follow-up of the pre-op and post-op difference of the frontal bulge point, the lateral forehead point and orbitofrontal point of the affected side, the degree of proptosis, visual acuity and fundus were analyzed by paired t test. Results:A total of 7 patients were recruited, including 2 males and 5 females, with an average age of 22.5 years. The average follow-up time was 11.4 months, and the difference in exophthalmos between the two sides improved from an average of (6.7±1.6) mm before operation to an average of(2.9±1.1) mm at 6 months after operation, which was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The difference between the pre-op and post-op of the frontal bulge point on the affected side also improved from (18.1±3.4) mm before surgery to (3.1±3.5)mm( P=0.001) immediately after surgery and (4.0±3.6) mm( P=0.001)at 6 months after surgery. The difference of lateral forehead point improved from(21.4±4.1) mm before surgery to (1.8±1.9) mm( P<0.001) immediately after surgery and (2.5±2.1) mm( P<0.001) at 6 months after surgery, and the difference of orbitofrontal point improved from(12.2±2.5) mm before surgery to (2.3±3.0) m( P=0.004) immediately after surgery and (2.7±2.9) mm( P=0.006) at 6 months after surgery. The average uncorrected visual acuity of the affected side before operation was 4.5, and it was 4.6 6 months after operation, with no statistical difference( P>0.05). Conclusions:Using 3D simulation to design the scope of resection and computer assisted navigation to decompress the optic canal in patients with stable fronto-orbital fibrous dysplasia, which can safely and effectively protect the optic nerve and accurately improve the frontal-orbital shape.
