Objective To establish antemortem and postmortem injury models in nude mice,observe the morphological changes of the wounds and the changes of the microbial communities in the wounds at different time points after the injury,and analyze the differences between antemortem and postmor-tem wounds.Methods Abdominal injury models were established in 48 BALB/c nude mice,which were classified into antemortem injury,4 h and 72 h postmortem injury groups,and the gross manifesta-tions and histopathological changes were observed on days 1,3,5,8,11 and 15 after injury.The mi-crobial communities in the wounds were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing technology.QIIME 2 soft-ware was used to calculate Shannon and Observed species indices.The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine statistical differences in α-diversity between groups.Jaccard similarity coefficients were calculated by using R v4.3.0 software and applied to the principal co-ordinates analysis to demonstrate inter-sample differences.Permutational multivariate analysis of variance(PERMANOVA)was used to analyze the differences between groups in the composition of bacterial colonies,and R2 values were calculated.Results On days 8,11 and 15 after injury,the antemortem and postmortem injuries could not be differentiated by morphological examination;the Shannon index and Observed species index were statistically different between the antemortem injury group and the 72 h postmortem injury group;the Jaccard similarity coefficient of the microbial community was statistically different between the an-temortem injury group and the 72 h postmortem injury group.The PERMANOVA R2 value gradually increased with the extension of time(0.22-0.61).Conclusion Through the analysis of the wound mi-crobial community,the microbial composition of wounds at different time points can be identified and compared,which provides a new perspective and method for the differentiation of antemortem injuries from postmortem injuries,with good application prospects.

Objective To investigate the viability of Runt-related transcription factor 1(RUNX1)as a biomarker for gastric cancer and to assess the impact of the small molecule inhibitor Ro24-7429 on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of gastric cancer cells following targeted modulation.Methods Through the GEPIA database,we analyzed RUNX1 mRNA expression in gastric cancer or normal gastric tissues.Utilizing RUNX1 expression data from the TCGA database,a receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was constructed to appraise the potential of RUNX1 as a gastric cancer biomarker.In September 2022,we collected tissue samples from 6 patients with gastric cancer from the Department of General Surgery at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University.After extracting tissue proteins,Western blotting was employed to compare RUNX1 protein expression in tumor and adjacent tissues.Gastric cancer cell lines with high RUNX1 expression were identified and the suppressive effect of the small molecule inhibitor Ro24-7429 on RUNX1 protein expression was verified by Western blotting.the effect of Ro24-7429 was validated by using CCK-8,colony formation,cell scratch,and Transwell assays.RUNX1 protein levels in gastric cancer tissues were quantified using immunohistochemical staining.An organoid model of gastric cancer was then established from the high-expression samples and verified by both HE and immunization analyses.Lastly,the impact of Ro24-7429 on the growth of gastric cancer organoids with meticulous tracking was evaluated using a biological microscope within a designated area.Results The analysis from the GEPIA database revealed a heightened expression of RUNX1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissues compared with normal tissues(P<0.05).The ROC curve derived from the RUNX1 expression data in the TCGA database boasts an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.956,underscoring RUNX1's potential as a robust diagnostic marker.Western blotting results revealed significantly higher RUNX1 protein expression in gastric cancer tissues than in adjacent tissues(P<0.001).Among 5 gastric cancer cell lines studied,AGS and HGC27 exhibited pronounced RUNX1 protein expression(P<0.001).The small molecule inhibitor Ro24-7429,targeting RUNX1,potently suppressed RUNX1 expression in gastric cancer cells.The results from CCK-8,colony formation,scratch,and Transwell assays showed that Ro24-7429 effectively inhibited proliferation,migration,and invasion of gastric cancer cells(P<0.001).In a gastric cancer organoid model derived from high RUNX1 expression samples,the RUNX1 expression was remarkably consistent with its originating tissue.As expected,upon the targeted inhibition of RUNX1 using Ro24-7429,the cancer organoids significantly reduced growth capacity.Conclusions RUNX1 shows potential as a biomarker for gastric cancer.Ro24-7429 specifically inhibits RUNX1 expression and suppresses tumor cell proliferation,migration,and invasion in gastric cancer cell lines and organoid models.

Abstract: Objective　To explore the spatial epidemiological characteristics of severe cases hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Guangxi, China, from 2014 to 2018, and to provide a basis for identifying the high-risk regions as well as the prevention and control of severe cases of HFMD in Guangxi. Methods　Spatial-temporal scanning analysis, global and local spatial autocorrelation analysis were used to analyze the spatial clustering of HFMD. The trend surface analysis was used to evaluate the spatial distribution trend of HFMD. Results　From 2014 to 2018, the incidence and severe case fatality rates of HFMD were 3.89/100 000 and 4.23%, respectively. Monte Carlo scanning analysis showed that the first cluster region was Cenxi City, the second cluster was mainly concentrated in northwest of Guangxi, and the aggregation time was mainly concentrated in April to May and August to October. The global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the severe HFMD was significant clustering distribution, and the Moran's I coefficients of the sever cases, severe morbidity and severe case fatality rate were 0.088, 0.118, 0.197, respectively (P<0.05). Local spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that hotspots of severe HFMD cases were concentrated in the southern Guangxi, mainly in Lingshan County. Anselin local Moran's I clustering and outlier analysis indicated that 5 high-high (H-H) clustering regions for fatality were Lingshan, Pubei, Zhongshan, Zhaoping and Pinggui County. There were 6 high-high (H-H) clustering regions for severe incidence rate, namely Lingshan, Qinnan, Lingyun, Youjiang, Bama Yao Autonomous and Pinggui County, and 1 high-low (H-L) clustering region, Cenxi County. The trend surface analysis showed that the overall number of severe cases of death decreased from east or west to the middle, and increased from north to middle, and then decreased to south. Conclusions　Severe HFMD cases in Guangxi have obvious spatial-temporal clustering, and the hop spots are mainly concentrated in southern Guangxi. The prevention and control of HFMD in areas with high incidence of severe cases should be strengthened to reduce the burden of HFMD cases.

Aim To investigate the effects of dagliflozin (DAPA) on atrial tachyarrhythmia (AT) in rats with right heart failure (RHF) due to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and the underlying mechanisms. Methods Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group (CTL group), model group (MCT group), MCT + low-dose DAPA intervention group (MCT + LD group) and MCT + high-dose DAPA intervention group (MCT + HD group). After 35 days of continuous intervention, the model and cardiac function evaluation, atrial structural remodelling assessment, inflammatory factor detection, and in vivo cardiac electrophysiology experiments were completed. Results DAPA reduced menn pulmonaryarterial pressure (mPAP) and menn right ventricular pressure (mRVP) in the model rats (P <0.05), attenuated the inflammatory response (P < 0.05), reduced right atrial fibrosis (P <0.05), reduced AT induction rate (P < 0.05) and mean atrial tachyarrhythmia duration (MATD) (P < 0.05), the extent of which was more pronounced in the high-dose DAPA intervention group. Conclusions DAPA can reduce AT susceptibility in PAH-induced RHF rats, and the mechanisms may be related to the inhibition of systemic inflammation and anti-atrial fibrosis by DAPA.

Diabetic ulcer(DU) is a chronic and refractory ulcer which often occurs in the foot or lower limbs. It is a diabetic complication with high morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of DU is complex, and the therapies(such as debridement, flap transplantation, and application of antibiotics) are also complex and have long cycles. DU patients suffer from great economic and psychological pressure while enduring pain. Therefore, it is particularly important to promote rapid wound healing, reduce disability and mortality, protect limb function, and improve the quality of life of DU patients. By reviewing the relevant literatures, we have found that autophagy can remove DU wound pathogens, reduce wound inflammation, and accelerate ulcer wound healing and tissue repair. The main autophagy-related factors microtubule-binding light chain protein 3(LC3), autophagy-specific gene Beclin-1, and ubiquitin-binding protein p62 mediate autophagy. The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) treatment of DU mitigates clinical symptoms, accelerates ulcer wound healing, reduces ulcer recurrence, and delays further deterioration of DU. Furthermore, under the guidance of syndrome differentiation and treatment and the overall concept, TCM treatment harmonizes yin and yang, ameliorates TCM syndrome, and treats underlying diseases, thereby curing DU from the root. Therefore, this article reviews the role of autophagy and major related factors LC3, Beclin-1, and p62 in the healing of DU wounds and the intervention of TCM, aiming to provide reference for the clinical treatment of DU wounds and subsequent in-depth studies.
