Objective:To investigate the relationship between the changes in extracellular vesicles (EVs) size distribution before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) cardiac surgery and postoperative coagulation function.Methods:A total of 103 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB were enrolled. Venous blood samples were collected at preoperation, postoperative 12 h and 3 days. Additionally, 50 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers served as a control group. EVs were isolated using gradient centrifugation, and their size distribution was assessed by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The relationship between EV size characteristics, including peak diameter, peak height, and interquartile range( IQR), and postoperative coagulation function was analyzed. Results:Compared to patients with normal postoperative coagulation function, those with postoperative coagulation dysfunction had lower size at peak and IQR, and significantly higher peak intensity. Logistic regression analysis indicated that elevated peak intensity and lower size at peak and IQR were risk factors for coagulation dysfunction. The area under the curve ( AUC) for diagnosing coagulation dysfunction with 12 h postoperative EVs peak intensity was 0.76, with a positive predictive value of 85% at the optimal cutoff of 8.2; the AUC for IQR was 0.84, with a sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 82%, and negative predictive value of 86% at the optimal cutoff of 125.05 nm. Conclusion:The size distribution of circulating EVs show a correlation with coagulation function after cardiac surgery with CPB and may serve as a novel biomarker to predict postoperative coagulation dysfunction.

BackgroundGraduate students frequently face life events， many of which may adversely affect their mental well-being. However， the interaction between life events and the development of depression， anxiety， and somatic symptoms remains unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between life events and the development of depressive， anxiety and somatic symptoms in graduate students， thereby informing prevention strategies for these conditions. MethodsA sample of 6 722 newly enrolled graduate students at a comprehensive university in Southwest China from September to November 2018 was selected. The assessment was conducted using the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist （ASLEC）， the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale-7 item （GAD-7）， the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， and the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 （PHQ-15）. Network analysis was implemented by using the bootnet and qgraph packages in the R software （version 4.2.3）， with centrality indices calculated to identify core and bridge symptoms within the network. ResultsThe study encompassed a total of 6 171 graduate students， representing 91.80% of the target population. The prevalence rates of anxiety， depressive， and somatic symptoms among graduate students were 12.59% （777/6 171）， 16.63% （1 026/6 171）， and 27.66% （1 707/6 171）， respectively. Network analysis revealed that 'academic stress' was the core symptom with the highest strength and expected influence （both values=1.207）， while 'feeling down， depressed， or hopeless' was the bridge symptom with the highest bridge strength and bridge expected influence （both values=0.454）. There was no significant difference in global network strength and edge weight between women and men （P>0.05）. ConclusionAcademic stress， emerging as the core symptom， assumes a dominant position within the symptom network and exhibits strong interactions with other negative affective states. There was no gender difference in the network structure.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of Tongxinluo capsules on the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban in rats. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into rivaroxaban alone group （2.70 mg/kg）， low-dose Tongxinluo capsules combined with rivaroxaban group （Tongxinluo capsules 0.28 g/kg+rivaroxaban 2.70 mg/kg）， and high-dose Tongxinluo capsules combined with rivaroxaban group （Tongxinluo capsules 0.84 g/kg+rivaroxaban 2.70 mg/kg）， with five rats in each group. Following seven consecutive days of gavage with normal saline or the corresponding doses of Tongxinluo capsules， the rats were subjected to a final gavage administration of rivaroxaban. Blood samples were collected at 0 h prior to the final administration and at 0.16， 0.33， 0.50， 0.75， 1， 1.5， 2， 4， 8， 12 and 24 h post-final administration. The plasma concentration of rivaroxaban in rats was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic parameters [peak concentration （cmax）， half-life （t1/2）， area under the drug concentration time curve （AUC）， mean residence time （MRT）， clearance （CL）， apparent volume of distribution （Vd） and peak time （tmax）] of each group were calculated using a non-compartmental model of MonolixSuite 2023R1 pharmacokinetic software. RESULTS Compared with rivaroxaban alone group， AUC₀₋ₜ and AUC0-∞ of rivaroxaban in rats were increased significantly in high-dose Tongxinluo capsules+rivaroxaban group （P＜0.05）， while CL was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）； t1/2 and MRT were shortened， tmax was extended， cmax was increased， while Vd was decreased， but there was no statistical significance （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Rivaroxaban combined with Tongxinluo capsules significantly increases the plasma exposure of rivaroxaban in rats. Potential drug-drug interactions should be considered in clinical practice based on the co-administration conditions.

Objective: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition of unknown etiology associated with venous sinus stenosis. This study aimed to develop a magnetic resonance venography (MRV)-based radiomics model for predicting a high trans-stenotic pressure gradient (TPG) in IIH patients diagnosed with venous sinus stenosis. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 105 IIH patients (median age [interquartile range], 35 years [27– 42 years]; female:male, 82:23) who underwent MRV and catheter venography complemented by venous manometry. Contrast enhanced-MRV was conducted under 1.5 Tesla system, and the images were reconstructed using a standard algorithm. Shape features were derived from MRV images via the PyRadiomics package and selected by utilizing the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method. A radiomics score for predicting high TPG (≥ 8 mmHg) in IIH patients was formulated using multivariable logistic regression; its discrimination performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). A nomogram was constructed by incorporating the radiomics scores and clinical features. Results: Data from 105 patients were randomly divided into two distinct datasets for model training (n = 73; 50 and 23 with and without high TPG, respectively) and testing (n = 32; 22 and 10 with and without high TPG, respectively). Three informative shape features were identified in the training datasets: least axis length, sphericity, and maximum three-dimensional diameter.The radiomics score for predicting high TPG in IIH patients demonstrated an AUROC of 0.906 (95% confidence interval, 0.836– 0.976) in the training dataset and 0.877 (95% confidence interval, 0.755–0.999) in the test dataset. The nomogram showed good calibration. Conclusion Our study presents the feasibility of a novel model for predicting high TPG in IIH patients using radiomics analysis of noninvasive MRV-based shape features. This information may aid clinicians in identifying patients who may benefit from stenting.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of different Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)by Bayesian network Meta-analysis.Methods PubMed,EMbase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,SinoMed,WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of BPH from inception to January 1,2023.Two researchers independently screened the literature,extracted data,and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies.Bayesian network Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15.0 and GeMTC 14.3 software.Results A total of 51 RCTs involving 12 kinds of Chinese patent medicines and 4 927 patients were included.The results of direct Meta-analysis showed that Chinese patent medicine combined with conventional western medicine was superior to conventional western medicine alone in reducing international prostate symptom score(MD=-4.44,95％CI-5.09 to-3.79,P＜0.001),improving maximum urinary flow rate(MD=3.16,95％CI 2.71 to 3.61,P＜0.001),reducing residual urine volume(MD=-8.27,95％CI-9.62 to-6.92,P＜0.001)and prostate volume(MD=-3.89,95％CI-4.60 to-3.18,P＜0.001).The results of the network Meta-analysis showed that the Longbishu capsules combined with conventional western medicine had the best effect in reducing the international prostate symptom score.In terms of improving maximum urinary flow rate,Xialiqi capsules combined with conventional western medicine had the best effect.Zegui Longshuang capsules combined with conventional western medicine had the best effect in reducing residual urine volume.In terms of reducing prostate volume,Relinqing granules combined with conventional western medicine had the best effect.The incidence of adverse reactions in the Chinese patent medicine combined with conventional western medicine group(8.27％)was lower than that in the conventional western medicine group(11.98％).Conclusion The existing evidence shows that compared with conventional western medicine alone,Chinese patent medicine combined with conventional western medicine is better than conventional western medicine alone in improving various clinical symptoms of BPH,and has better safety.Various proprietary Chinese patent medicines have different therapeutic focuses,and individualized medication can be used according to the specific symptoms of BPH patients in clinical treatment.Limited by the quantity and quality of the included studies,the above conclusions need to be verified by more high-quality studies.

Objective To investigate the effects of lncRNA SBF2-AS1 on the proliferation and invasion of hepatoma cells by regulating the miR-372-3p/CDK6 pathway. Methods Bel7402 and SK-hep1 cells were selected as research objects. The expression levels of SBF2-AS1, miR-372-3p, and CDK6 were up- or down-regulated according to different experimental stages, while the expression levels of miR-372-3p and CDK6 in cells were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot. Dual luciferase reporter assay verified the targeting relationships between SBF2-AS1 and miR-372-3p as well as miR-372-3p and CDK6, respectively. CCK-8, colony formation assay, Transwell, cell cycle assay, and flow cytometry were used to analyze cell proliferation, colony formation, migration/invasion ability, cell cycle activity, and apoptosis. Results SBF2-AS1 was highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells (P<0.05). SBF2-AS1 knockdown resulted in decreased proliferation and invasion of Bel7402 and SK-hep1 cells (P<0.05). After miR-372-3p knockdown, the proliferation capacity and invasion number of Bel7402 cells were significantly increased. However, the above results were reversed after SBF2-AS1 knockdown (P<0.05). In addition, miR-372-3p targeted CDK6 and inhibited its expression, although over-expressing SFB2-AS1 could reverse the above results (P<0.05). Over-expressing CDK6 could reverse the inhibition of over-expressing miR-372-3p on the proliferation and invasion of Bel7402 cells. Conclusion LncRNA SBF2-AS1 can positively regulate the expression of CDK6 through miR-372-3p. It can also influence the distribution of cell cycle and affect the proliferation and invasion abilities of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
