Objective:To explore the potential causal relationships between major depressive disorder(MDD),anxiety disorder(AD)and various highly prevalent cancers from the genetic perspective.Methods:Sum-mary statistics from large-scale genome-wide association studies(GW AS)were analyzed using a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)approach.The inverse variance weighting method(IVW)was usedas the main analytical approach.The intercept term of MR-Egger regression and the MR-PRESSO method were adopted for the pleiotropy test.Results:The IVW analysis revealed potential causal relationships between MDD and breast cancer[OR(95%CI):1.11(1.01-1.22),P<0.05],AD and lung cancer[OR(95%CI):1.30(1.02-1.65),P<0.05],and between colon cancer and MDD[OR(95%CI):1.05(1.00-1.11),P<0.05].The results of the pleiotropy test showed that the intercept terms of the MR-Egger regression were not statistically significant,indica-ting the absence of pleiotropy.The MR-PRESSO method detected outliers only in the relationship between MDD and breast cancer.The association between MDD and breast cancer remained significant after correction for outliers[OR(95%CI):1.10(1.03-1.17),P<0.05].Conclusion:The study suggests that MDD may be a risk factor for breast cancer,AD may increase the risk factor for lung cancer,and colon cancer may elevate the risk factor of MDD.Moreover,the possibility of reverse causal relationships has been excluded in all these cases.

One of its primary surgical treatments of tricuspid regurgitation is tricuspid valve biological valve replacement. Catheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation is a novel interventional alternative for biological valve failure. The non-invasive lung fluid measuring device remote dielectric sensing (ReDSTM) has been increasingly incorporated into clinical practice as a means of monitoring chronic heart failure in recent years. This report describes the process and outcomes of the first instance of perioperative lung fluid volume evaluation following transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation utilizing ReDSTM technology. The patient has a short-term, substantial increase in postoperative lung fluid volume as compared to baseline.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral regurgitation (MR) is known as M-TEER. Its strengths include: precise targets and fewer implants; simple and clear principles for catheterization; originating from dependable medical concepts and broad applicability. Furthermore, TEER offers advantages in real-time hemodynamic and effectiveness measurement throughout the procedure over surgical edge-to-edge repair (SEER). When it comes to patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation , M-TEER should aim to deliver more optimum procedural outcomes. In functional mitral regurgitation, a modest transvalvular gradients or moderate residual shunt can be tolerated with M-TEER, which reduces the risk of problems and has no bearing on the patient's prognosis.

Objectives:To observe the mitochondrial morphology of normal and triple-negative breast cancer cells, extract mitochondria from normal cells, and investigate the effects of mitochondrial transplantation on proliferation, apoptosis, and stemness of triple-negative breast cancer cells.Methods:The morphology of mitochondria was observed by transmission electron microscope. Mitochondria were extracted by mitochondrial extraction kit, mitochondrial protein was identified by western blot, and mitochondrial activity was detected by mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit. MitoTracker Green or MitoTracker Deep Red fluorescent probes were used to label the mitochondria of living cells, and the degree of mitochondria entering LTT cells was observed by confocal laser microscopy at 12, 24, and 96 hours. The effects of mitochondrial transplantation on proliferation, apoptosis, and stemness of breast cancer cells were examined by CCK8, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, and sphere formation assay after 24 hours of mitochondrial transplantation.Results:The mitochondria of normal cells were rod-shaped or elongated, while the mitochondria of triple-negative breast cancer cells were swollen and vacuolated. Western blot results showed that cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (MT-CO1) protein encoded by mitochondria was present in the isolated mitochondria. The content of heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) was higher in mitochondria than that in cytoplasm. The result of the multi-mode microplate reader showed that the content of mitochondrial J-aggregates/monomer was 1.67±0.06, which was significantly higher than 0.35±0.04 of the control group ( P<0.001). Exogenous mitochondria were observed in LTT cells at 12, 24, and 96 hours after mitochondrial transplantation. The results of the CCK8 experiment showed that OD450 of LTT cells was 0.27±0.13 after 48 hours transplantation, which was lower than 0.62±0.36 of the control group ( P=0.023). The OD450 of MDA-MB-468 cells was 0.30±0.03, which was lower than 0.65±0.10 of the control group ( P=0.004). After 120 hours of mitochondrial transplantation, OD450 in both groups was still significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). The number of clones formed by mitochondrial transplantation of LTT cells was 21.33±7.31, which was lower than 35.22±13.59 of the control group ( P=0.016). Flow cytometry showed that the early apoptosis rate of LTT cells was (30.07±2.15)% after 24 hours of mitochondrial transplantation, which was higher than 2.07±1.58 of the control group ( P<0.001). The proportion of early apoptosis in MDA-MB-468 cells was 24.47%±5.22%, which was higher than (7.83±2.06)% in the control group ( P=0.007). In addition, the number of mitochondria transplanted LTT cells into the cell sphere was 46.25±5.40, which was significantly lower than 62.58±6.43 of the control group ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Normal mitochondria can enter triple-negative breast cancer cells by co-culture, inhibit the proliferation and stemness of triple-negative breast cancer cells, and promote the apoptosis of triple-negative breast cancer cells.

Mitral regurgitation is one of the most common heart valve diseases. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is currently the most developed and commonly used interventional technique for mitral regurgitation and is recommended by the latest European and American guidelines for patients who are at high surgical risk. TEER device usually consists of a clamping device and a delivery system. The trajectory of the clamping device is called the trajectory, and the trajectory can be well established with the five dimensions movement of the delivery system: left-right oscillation, anterior-posterior oscillation, overall parallel movement, the clamping device's own clockwise rotation, and vertical up-and-down movement. The delivery system's anteroposterior and lateral oscillations are concentrated on the virtual puncture site. Furthermore, the location of the septal puncture site has a significant impact on the establishemnt of the trajectory. The evulation of three variables and adherence to the "4M principles" are necessary for the successful TEER. The three variables are: the position of the clip in the center of the regurgitation,the arm orientation of the clip perpendicular to the boundary of anterior and posterior leaflets, as well as the appropriate length of clamping. The "4M principles" include favorable valve morphology, residual mitral regurgitation below grade 2+, mean transvalvular pressure≤5 mm Hg, and an appropriate amount of leaflets clamping. Patients' baseline situation, the degree of mitral regurgitation and ventricular remodeling, as well as the valve morphology and the outcome of the procedure, are the factors determining the prognosis of patients after TEER.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) originated from surgical edge-to-edge repair. MitraClip is the first mature TEER device, and the TEER based on MitraClip is far ahead of many transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) technologies in terms of safety, effectiveness and popularity, so it is named separately in the latest guidelines. The TEER has the following advantages: consistent with basic medical principles, few implants, precise target, less invasive and repeatable. However, there are also some shortcomings, such as the relatively complex design of transfemoral device, target single and relatively narrow indications. At present, the main clinical data of TEER are mainly from the clinical practice of MitraClip. Based on the three-year outcomes of COAPT study, both 2020 ACC/AHA guideline and 2020 ACC expert consensus decision pathway on the management of mitral regurgitation recommend in patients with chronic heart failure with left ventricular dysfunction and severe mitral regurgitation in nonresponders to medicine treatment. Edward's PASCAL, another TEER device, has two models. Among the domestic TEER devices, the ValveClamp of Hanyu medical technology has many distinct advantages, such as simple operation, large clamping area, high clamping efficiency and no need of X-ray. DragonFly, another domestic TEER device, has also completed its feasibility study. There are five trends of TEER in the future: further expansion of indications, combination with other interventional techniques, repeatable operations, transcatheter mitral valve replacement after TEER, and continuous improvement and innovation of equipment.
