OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of isorhamnetin on the development of gastric cancer through up-regulation of solute carrier family 25 member 25 antisense RNA 1（SLC25A25-AS1）. METHODS Using BALB/c nude mice as the subjects， the xenograft tumor model was established by subcutaneously inoculating human gastric cancer MKN28 cells into the axillary region. The effects of low and high doses of isorhamnetin （20 and 40 mg/kg） on the tumor volume and mass in nude mice were investigated. MKN28 cells were selected and divided into control group， isorhamnetin group （70 μmol/L， similarly hereinafter）， isorhamnetin+knocking down negative control group， isorhamnetin+knocking down SLC25A25-AS1 group， isorhamnetin+ overexpression negative control group and isorhamnetin+overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 group. Effects of knocking down/ overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 on viability， apoptosis， migration and invasion ability of isorhamnetin-treated cells were detected. After verifying the targeting relationships between microRNA-212-3p （miR-212-3p） and SLC25A25-AS1， as well as phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 （PTEN）， the effects of knocking down/overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 on the expression of miR-212-3p， PTEN mRNA， and PTEN protein in isorhamnetin-treated cells were investigated. RESULTS Compared with the model control group， tumor volume and mass of nude mice in the isorhamnetin low-dose and high-dose groups were reduced significantly， and the isorhamnetin high-dose group was significantly lower than the isorhamnetin low-dose group （P＜0.05）. miR-212-3p had targeting relationships with SLC25A25-AS1 and PTEN. Compared with the control group， the cell viability （intervened for 24， 48 h）， migration number， invasion number and miR-212-3p expression of cells in the isorhamnetin group， isorhamnetin+knocking down negative control group and isorhamnetin+overexpressing negative control group were significantly reduced or decreased or down-regulated， while the apoptosis rate， mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN were significantly increased or up-regulated （P＜0.05）. Compared with isorhamnetin group and isorhamnetin+knocking down negative control group， the cell viability， migration number， invasion number and miR-212-3p expression of cells in the isorhamnetin+knocking down SLC25A25-AS1 group were significantly increased or up- regulated， while the apoptosis rate， mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN were significantly reduced or down-regulated （P＜ 0.05）. Compared with isorhamnetin group and isorhamnetin+overexpressing negative control group， the cell viability， migration number， invasion number and miR-212-3p expression of cells in isorhamnetin+overexpressing SLC25A25-AS1 group were significantly reduced or decreased or down-regulated， while the apoptosis rate， PTEN mRNA and protein expressions were significantly increased or up-regulated （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Isorhamnetin may inhibit the development of gastric cancer by up-regulating the expression of SLC25A25-AS1， down-regulating miR-212-3p， and up-regulating the expression of PTEN， which is a downstream target of miR-212-3p.

Objective: : The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between spermine synthase (SMS) expression, tumor occurrence, and prognosis in lower-grade gliomas (LGGs). Methods: : A total of 523 LGG patients and 1152 normal brain tissues were included as controls. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to evaluate SMS expression in the LGG group. Functional annotation analysis was conducted to explore the biological processes associated with high SMS expression. Immune cell infiltration analysis was performed to examine the correlation between SMS expression and immune cell types. The association between SMS expression and clinical and pathological features was assessed using Spearman correlation analysis. In vitro experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of overexpressing or downregulating SMS on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and key proteins in the protein kinase B (AKT)/epithelialmesenchymal transition signaling pathway. Results: : The study revealed a significant upregulation of SMS expression in LGGs compared to normal brain tissues. High SMS expression was associated with certain clinical and pathological features, including older age, astrocytoma, higher World Health Organization grade, poor disease-specific survival, disease progression, non-1p/19q codeletion, and wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase. Cox regression analysis identified SMS as a risk factor for overall survival. Bioinformatics analysis showed enrichment of eosinophils, T cells, and macrophages in LGG samples, while proportions of dendritic (DC) cells, plasmacytoid DC (pDC) cells, and CD8+ T cells were decreased. Conclusion : High SMS expression in LGGs may promote tumor occurrence through cellular proliferation and modulation of immune cell infiltration. These findings suggest the prognostic value of SMS in predicting clinical outcomes for LGG patients.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the impact of Wenyang lishui formula on ventricular remodeling in rats with pulmonary hypertension-induced right heart failure （RHF） based on the Hippo/Yes-associated protein （YAP） signaling pathway. METHODS Ten rats were randomly selected as the control group. The remaining 63 rats were given a single intraperitoneal injection of monocrotaline to establish the pulmonary hypertension-induced RHF model. The 50 rats that successfully underwent the model establishment were randomly divided into the RHF group， low-dose group of Wenyang lishui formula （4.25 g/kg）， high-dose group of the Wenyang lishui formula （17.00 g/kg）， furosemide group （20 mg/kg）， and high-dose group of Wenyang lishui formula+ Hippo/YAP signaling pathway activator group （17.00 g/kg of Δ Wenyang lishui formula+16 mg/kg of PY-60）， with 10 rats in each group. The rats in each group were given the corresponding drug solution or normal saline by gavage or/andtail vein injection， once a day， for 4 consecutive weeks. During the experiment， the general conditions of the rats in each group were observed； after the last administration， the right ventricular diameter， right atrial diameter， end-diastolic volume， pulmonary artery blood flow acceleration time （PAAT） and its ratio to ejection time （ET） （PAAT/ET）， pulmonary artery pressure and its ratio to pulmonary arterial flow velocity （pulmonary artery pressure/velocity） were measured. The plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide and angiotensin Ⅱ （Ang Ⅱ） were detected. The pathological changes of the right ventricular tissue were observed， and the collagen volume fraction， the phosphorylation levels of the large tumor suppressor 1/2 （LATS1/2） and YAP， and the protein expression of the transcriptional coactivator of PDZ-binding motif （TAZ） were also detected. RESULTS Compared with the RHF group， the rats in Wenyang lishui formula low-dose and high-dose groups showed improved hair color， movement， diet， and mental state. The atrophy of right ventricular myocardial cells， the increase of inflammatory cells， collagen deposition， and hypertrophy of myocardial fibers were significantly alleviated. The right ventricular internal diameter， right atrial internal diameter， end-diastolic volume， pulmonary artery pressure， pulmonary artery pressure/velocity， the plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide and AngⅡ ， collagen volume fraction， the phosphorylation level of YAP and protein expression of TAZ were significantly decreased， while the PAAT， PAAT/ET and the phosphorylation level of LATS1/2 were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. PY-60 could significantly reverse the improvement effects of high-dose Wenyang lishui formula on the above quantitative indicators （P＜ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Wenyang lishui formula can restore the right heart function of pulmonary hypertension-induced RHF rats， reduce their pulmonary artery pressure， alleviate the pathological changes in their cardiac tissues， and the above effects may be related to the activation of Hippo expression and the inhibition of YAP phosphorylation.

Objective To investigate the reliability and feasibility of spectral entropy in evaluate the effectiveness of analgesic sedation in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 64 patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to Hongqi Hospital Affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical University from July 2021 to November 2022 were selected as study objects,and the included patients were divided into control group and experimental group according to random number table method,with 32 cases in each group.Patients in control group adjusted analgesia and sedation regimen according to Richmond agitation-sedation scale(RASS)score and critical-care pain observation tool(CPOT)score.Patients in experimental group adjusted the analgesic and sedation regimen according to the results of spectral entropy.The vital signs,C-reactive protein(CRP),dose of sedative and analgesic drugs and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.The correlation between spectral entropy and RASS score and CPOT score was used Spearman correlation analysis.Results The spectral entropy values were positively correlated with the RASS score and CPOT score,respectively(r=0.719,0.556,P<0.001).There were no significant differences in mean arterial pressure and percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation between two groups at different time points(P>0.05).The heart rate at T3 in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).At T1,T2 and T3,CRP levels in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The dosage of sufentanil and midazolam in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group(12.50%vs.34.38%,χ2=4.267,P=0.039).Conclusion Spectral entropy can be used as an objective method to monitor the depth of analgesia and sedation in patients with ischemic stroke,and has a good correlation with RASS score and CPOT score,which can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions,effectively avoid stress reactions,and reduce the application of analgesia and sedation drugs.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with a minimum follow-up of four years involving 95 patients (ED group, n=45; non-DVR [ND] group, n=50). Radiographic measurements included thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sagittal vertical axis, coronal balance, and Cobb angles preoperatively and postoperatively. Flexibility curves and axial vertebral rotation were assessed using computed tomography before and after surgery. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire. Results: The preoperative major Cobb angles were comparable between the ED group (52.2°±2°) and the ND group (52.8°±3°), with no significant difference (p=0.327). At the last follow-up, the average Cobb angle was significantly lower in the ED group (4.6°±2°) compared to the ND group (6.1°±3°), indicating a significant difference (p=0.005). The postoperative radiographic shoulder height showed no significant difference at the last follow-up. The axial vertebral rotation was significantly greater in the ED group (8.4°±0°) than in the ND group (11.1°±1°) (p=0.001). Additionally, the ED group demonstrated substantial preservation of fusion levels with an average of 5.6 fused segments compared to 6.3 in the ND group. Conclusions A significantly higher incidence of satisfactory outcomes was observed at the final follow-up, with the correction rate of the ED group superior to that of the ND group for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis Lenke 5C. Moreover, patients in the ED group reported better outcomes on the SRS-22 questionnaire and had a shorter hospital stay than those in the ND group.
