Objective:To investigate the expression of microRNA-4262 (miR-4262) and neuregulin 1 (NRG1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and the relationship with prognosis.Methods:A total of 102 NSCLC patients who underwent surgical resection from January 2017 to February 2021 in Tongren People's Hospital of Guizhou Province were selected. The expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 were detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 in NSCLC cancer tissues and adjacent tissues, as well as NSCLC cancer tissues with different clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. TargetScan database was used to predict the binding sites of miR-4262 and NRG1, and Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between miR-4262 and NRG1 expression in NSCLC cancer tissues. Based on the mean expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 in NSCLC cancer tissues, the patients were divided into high miR-4262 expression group (miR-4262≥1.52, n=54) and low miR-4262 expression group (miR-4262<1.52, n=48), high NRG1 expression group (NRG1≥0.79, n=54) and low NRG1 expression group (NRG1<0.79, n=48). Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to compare the 3-year overall survival (OS) rates between groups. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for the prognosis of NSCLC patients. Results:The expression level of miR-4262 was significantly higher in NSCLC tumor tissues compared to adjacent tissues (1.52±0.21 vs. 1.11±0.20), while NRG1 expression level was lower (0.79±0.11 vs. 1.06±0.11), there were statistically significant differences ( t=14.22, P<0.001; t=-15.13, P<0.001). The expression of miR-4262 was negatively correlated with NRG1 in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients ( r=-0.74, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 of NSCLC patients in tumor differentiation ( t=2.80, P=0.006; t=-2.80, P=0.006), TNM stage ( F=24.36, P<0.001; F=17.66, P<0.001), and lymph node metastasis ( t=4.02, P<0.001; t=-3.98, P<0.001). At the end of the follow-up period, 57 patients survived, and 45 died, with a 3-year OS rate of 55.88%. Patients with high miR-4262 expression had a significantly lower 3-year OS rate compared to those with low miR-4262 expression (35.19% vs. 79.17%), patients with high NRG1 expression had a significantly higher 3-year OS rate than those with low NRG1 expression (77.78% vs. 31.25%), there were statistically significant differences ( χ2=22.58, P<0.001; χ2=27.26, P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that, age ( HR=2.47, 95% CI: 1.05-5.80, P=0.038), maximum tumor diameter ( HR=3.75, 95% CI: 1.61-8.74, P=0.002), differentiation degree ( HR=3.03, 95% CI: 1.32-6.96, P=0.009), TNM stage (stage Ⅱ, HR=3.45, 95% CI: 1.10-10.83, P=0.034; stage Ⅲ, HR=6.72, 95% CI: 2.03-22.26, P=0.002), lymph node metastasis ( HR=3.00, 95% CI: 1.29-6.96, P=0.010), miR-4262 expression ( HR=3.72, 95% CI: 1.48-9.35, P=0.005), and NRG1 expression ( HR=0.30, 95% CI: 0.13-0.73, P=0.008) were all influencing factors for OS in NSCLC patients. Multivariate analysis showed that, differentiation degree ( HR=5.47, 95% CI: 1.63-18.34, P=0.006), TNM stage (stage Ⅲ, HR=5.56, 95% CI: 1.23-25.14, P=0.026), lymph node metastasis ( HR=3.72, 95% CI: 1.19-11.60, P=0.024), miR-4262 expression ( HR=8.56, 95% CI: 2.26-32.41, P=0.002), and NRG1 expression ( HR=0.26, 95% CI: 0.09-0.76, P=0.014) were all independent influencing factors for OS in NSCLC patients. Conclusions:The expression of miR-4262 is high and the expression of NRG1 is low in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients. The 3-year OS rate of patients with high miR-4262 expression is lower than that of patients with low miR-4262 expression, and the 3-year OS rate of patients with high NRG1 expression is higher than that of patients with low NRG1 expression. Differentiation degree, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, miR-4262 and NRG1 are all independent influencing factors for the prognosis of NSCLC patients.

Objective To explore the pharmacokinetic changes of single dose of fentanyl in rats in a simulated high-altitude and contributing factors.Methods Thirty-six healthy female SD rats(6~8 weeks old,250±20 g)were randomly divided into high-altitude-acute-exposure group(group A),high-altitude-chronic-exposure group(group S)and control group(group C)through random number table,with 12 rats in each group.The group A and S were housed in a low-pressure chamber simulating the high altitude of 5000 m above sea level for 3 and 30 d respectively,and the group C was housed out of the chamber(at an altitude of 300 m).A single dose of fentanyl was administered through the femoral vein to 6 rats randomly selected from each group.Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)was used to detect blood concentrations of fentanyl and WinNonlin 8.2 software was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters,while blood samples were taken through the femoral artery before and in 1,2,4,8,15,30,60,120 and 180 min after administration.The remaining 6 rats were ultrasonographically assessed for portal vein internal diameter(PVD),peak flow velocity(PVV)and blood flow(PVF),and liver tissues were collected for CYP3A1 protein content assay.Results The blood drug concentrations of fentanyl in the group A and group S were significantly lower than those in the group C at 60,120,and 180 min(P=0.002,P<0.001,P= 0.001).Compared with the group C,the clearance rate(CL)of the group A was increased by 54.06%(P=0.021),and the mean residence time(MRTlast)was shortened by 24.21%(P=0.033);CL of the group S was increased by 50.10%(P=0.041),the area under the concentration-time curve(AUC0-t,AUC0-∞)and MRTlast were reduced by 18.92%(P=0.039),27.54%(P=0.018)and 33.61%(P= 0.004),respectively.PVD and PVF in the group S increased by 10.87%(P=0.006)and 42.50%(P= 0.006)when compared with the group C.The CYP3A1 protein content in the group A was 28.74%,which was higher than that in the group C(P=0.048).Conclusion Fentanyl is cleared significantly faster after a single dose in rats in simulated high-altitude,which may be related to the increased liver blood flow and increased CYP3A1 protein expression in liver.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023.Methods:The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed.Results:A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age ( P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion:Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.

Tandem occlusion of the anterior circulation is a specific acute large vessel occlusion, which is defined in most of the literature as a combination of intracranial large vessel occlusion and high degree of stenosis or occlusion of the ipsilateral extracranial internal carotid artery.Tandem occlusion is presented in approximately 15% patients with acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation who receive endovascular treatment. In patients with tandem occlusion, endovascular treatment is more effective than drug therapy; however, controversy still exists regarding the optimal management strategy of endovascular treatment. This article reviews the recent advance in endovascular treatment of tandem occlusion in the anterior circulation in recent years, to improve the overall care standard for acute ischemic stroke with tandem occlusion of the anterior circulation.
