ObjectiveTo collate and compare the characteristics and differences in the methods for constructing animal models of different subtypes of gastroesophageal reflux disease （GERD） based on literature， providing a reference for researchers in this field regarding animal model construction. MethodsExperimental studies related to GERD including reflux esophagitis （RE）， nonerosive reflux disease （NERD） and Barrett's esophagus （BE） model construction from January 1， 2014 to January 27， 2024， were retrieved from databases such as CNKI， Wanfang， VIP， Web of Science， and Pubmed. Information on animal strains， genders， modeling methods including disease-syndrome combination models， modeling cycles were extracted； for studies with model evaluation， the methods of model evaluation were also extracted； then analyzing all those information. ResultsA total of 182 articles were included. SD rats were most frequently selected when inducing animal models of RE （88/148， 59.46%） and NERD （9/14， 64.29%）. For BE， C57BL/6 mice were most commonly used （11/20， 55.00%）. Male animals （RE： 111/135， 82.22%； NERD： 11/14， 78.57%； BE： 10/12， 83.33%） were the most common gender among the three subtypes. The key to constructing RE animal models lies in structural damage to the esophageal mucosal layer， gastric content reflux， or mixed reflux， among which forestomach ligation + incomplete pylorus ligation （42/158， 26.58%） was the most common modeling method； the key to constructing NERD animal models lies in micro-inflammation of the esophageal mucosa， visceral hypersensitivity， and emotional problems， and intraperitoneal injection of a mixed suspension of ovalbumin and aluminum hydroxide combined with acid perfusion in the lower esophagus （8/14， 57.14%） was the most common modeling method； the key to constructing BE animal models lies in long-term inflammatory stimulation of the esophageal mucosa and bile acid reflux， and constructing interleukin 2-interleukin 1β transgenic mice （7/25， 28.00%） was the most common modeling method. Adverse psychological stress was the most common method for inducing liver depression. ConclusionsThe construction key principles and methodologies for RE， NERD， and BE animal models exhibit significant differences. Researchers should select appropriate models based on subtype characteristics （e.g.， RE focusing on structural damage， NERD emphasizing visceral hypersensitivity）. Current studies show insufficient exploration of traditional Chinese medicine disease-syndrome combination models. Future research needs to optimize syndrome modeling approaches （e.g.， composite etiology simulation） and establish integrated Chinese-Western medicine evaluation systems to better support mechanistic investigations of traditional Chinese medicine.

Chlorfenapyr is a kind of insecticide widely used in agriculture. Acute chlorfenapyr poisoning has a high mortality rate and there is no effective treatment at present. Poisoning caused by oral chlorfenapyr can lead to multiple organs damage such as heart, brain, muscle and retina. Clinical treatment should remove toxicants from the body early to improve the prognosis. In this paper, the death data of 3 patients with chlorfenapyr poisoning were reported and literature search was conducted to discuss the mechanism and treatment of chlorfenapyr poisoning.

Objective:To explore the noninvasive diagnosis model and its clinical significance of acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in emergency patients with high-risk chest pain established based on chest pain database.Methods:A total of 467 patients with acute high-risk chest pain admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2020 to October 2022 were selected. The patients were divided into AMI group (317 cases) and non-AMI group (150 cases) according to the occurrence of AMI. The clinical data of the two groups were compared, and Lasso regression and Logistic regression were used to analyze the related risk factors of AMI. R language was used to establish a diagnostic model, and concordance index (C-index) was used to evaluate the predictive ability of the model. Calibration curve and decision analysis curve (DCA) were used to verify and evaluate the established model externally.Results:The results of the univariate analysis showed that the proportion of patients with coronary heart disease, respiratory rate, myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), D-dimer, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, C- reactive protein, fibrinogen, lactic acid, ST-segment elevation and abnormal ventricular wall movement in the AMI group were higher than those in the non-AMI group: 51.10 % (162/317) vs. 21.33%(32/150), (19.25 ± 2.44) times/min vs. (16.30 ± 2.15) times/min, (270.03 ± 26.59) μg/L vs. (71.44 ± 19.85) μg/L, (30.51 ± 8.22) μg/L vs. (3.22 ± 0.88) μg/L, (4.51 ± 1.38) μg/L vs. (0.04 ± 0.01) μg/L, (1.69 ± 0.51) mg/L vs. (0.32 ± 0.09) mg/L, (2 085.66 ± 561.24) ng/L vs. (964.39 ± 257.40) ng/L, (13.98 ± 4.52) mg/L vs. (7.11 ± 2.26) mg/L, (4.07 ± 0.83) g/L vs. (2.95 ± 0.78) g/L, (2.20 ± 0.49) mmol/L vs. (1.36 ± 0.35) mmol/L, 80.76%(256/317) vs. 16.67% (25/150), 95.27%(302/317) vs. 17.33% (26/150); the platelet count, activited partial thomboplastin time, prothombin time and left ventricular ejection fractionin in the AMI group were lower than those in the non-AMI group: (168.97 ± 29.66) × 10 9/L vs. (230.58 ± 30.57) × 10 9/L, (30.25 ± 4.59) s vs. (33.59 ± 4.16) s, (11.82 ± 0.74) s vs. (13.25 ± 1.02) s, (47.25 ± 5.33)% vs. (58.49 ± 5.07)%, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Using 17 variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis as independent variables, Lasso regression analysis selected 7 predictive variables as coronary heart disease, myoglobin, CK-MB, cTnI, D-dimer, ST segment elevation and abnormal ventricular wall movement. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that coronary heart disease, myoglobin, CK-MB, cTnI, D-dimer, ST-segment elevation and abnormal ventricular wall movement were the related risk factors of AMI ( P<0.05). Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that the fit was good ( χ2 = 2.56, df = 9, P = 0.860); R language was used to draw the non-invasive diagnosis model of AMI, and the C-index was 0.945, indicated good predictive ability. Calibration curve analysis showed that the calibration degrees of the model establishment population and the external verification population were 0.918 and 0.924, respectively, indicated that the model was in good agreement with the actual observation results. The DCA curve showed that the column graph model for diagnosing AMI had significant positive net benefit and good clinical utility. Conclusions:Coronary heart disease, myoglobin, CK-MB, cTnI, D-dimer, ST-segment elevation and abnormal ventricular wall movement can be used as non-invasive diagnostic markers for AMI in patients with acute high-risk chest pain in emergency department. The prediction performance of the diagnostic model based on the above factors is good.

Objective:To develop and evaluate a nomogram prediction model for the 3-month mortality risk of patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI).Methods:Based on the American Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅳ (MIMIC-Ⅳ), clinical data of S-AKI patients from 2008 to 2021 were collected.Initially, 58 relevant predictive factors were included, with all-cause mortality within 3 months as the outcome event. The data were divided into training and testing sets at a 7∶3 ratio. In the training set, univariate Logistic regression analysis was used for preliminary variable screening. Multicollinearity analysis, Lasso regression, and random forest algorithm were employed for variable selection, combined with the clinical application value of variables, to establish a multivariable Logistic regression model, visualized using a nomogram. In the testing set, the predictive value of the model was evaluated through internal validation. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the discrimination of nomogram model and Oxford acute severity of illness score (OASIS), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), and systemic inflammatory response syndrome score (SIRS). The calibration curve was used to evaluate the calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed to assess the net benefit at different probability thresholds.Results:Based on the survival status at 3 months after diagnosis, patients were divided into 7?768 (68.54%) survivors and 3?566 (31.46%) death. In the training set, after multiple screenings, 7 variables were finally included in the nomogram model: Logistic organ dysfunction system (LODS), Charlson comorbidity index, urine output, international normalized ratio (INR), respiratory support mode, blood urea nitrogen, and age. Internal validation in the testing set showed that the AUC of nomogram model was 0.81 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.80-0.82], higher than the OASIS score's 0.70 (95% CI was 0.69-0.71) and significantly higher than the SOFA score's 0.57 (95% CI was 0.56-0.58) and SIRS score's 0.56 (95% CI was 0.55-0.57), indicating good discrimination. The calibration curve demonstrated that the nomogram model's calibration was better than the OASIS, SOFA, and SIRS scores. The DCA curve suggested that the nomogram model's clinical net benefit was better than the OASIS, SOFA, and SIRS scores at different probability thresholds. Conclusions:A nomogram prediction model for the 3-month mortality risk of S-AKI patients, based on clinical big data from MIMIC-Ⅳ and including seven variables, demonstrates good discriminative ability and calibration, providing an effective new tool for assessing the prognosis of S-AKI patients.

The human gastrointestinal tract is the largest reservoir of bacteria in the body,inhabiting a very complex and active microbial community.Under normal circumstances,the interaction between the intestinal flora and the host maintains a dynamic balance.Spleen deficiency syndrome is a common classic syndrome type in TCM clinical practice.A large number of studies have shown that spleen deficiency syndrome is closely related to intestinal microorganisms,and the balance of intestinal flora is the basis for the normal functioning of the spleen's main transportation and transformation functions.Intestinal flora imbalance can lead to a series of manifestations of spleen deficiency.In addition,intestinal flora is an important medium for the metabolism of polysaccharide components and the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen,and traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen can also play a therapeutic role by regulating the structure and quantity of intestinal flora.This article summarizes the relationship between intestinal flora and spleen deficiency syndrome in physiology,pathology,and the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen.Based on intestinal flora,the study of spleen deficiency syndrome aims to provide some thoughts and suggestions for revealing the connotation of spleen deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To investigate the distribution of TCM syndromes and syndrome elements of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS);To provide reference for clinical TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment.Methods The patients with IBS who filled in the questionnaire were collected from 18 tertiary Chinese medicine hospitals in China from November 2019 to December 2022,including Xiyuan Hospital,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences,Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The contents of questionnaire included the patients'general condition,medical history(onset time,condition changes),Rome Ⅳ symptom diagnostic scale,somatic symptom cluster scale,quality of life scale,hospital anxiety and depression scale,TCM syndromes,etc.The methods of factor analysis and systematic clustering analysis were used,the factors of disease and syndrome were extracted,and the classification of TCM syndrome types was summarized.Results Totally 157 patients were included,87 were male and 70 were female.The age was from 18 to 74 years old.The longest course of disease was 30 years and the shortest was 3 months,with an average of(48.31±5.61)months.Anxiety score:was 3.66±0.30,depression score was 3.39±0.28.The most common TCM symptom was emotional distress(83.4%),followed by diarrhea(80.9%)and abdominal pain(72.6%).The results of factor analysis showed that rotation finally converged after 16 iterations,and 8 common factors and 33 variables were obtained,with a cumulative contribution rate of 60.016%.The sites of IBS were mainly distributed in liver,spleen,large intestine and stomach.The main syndrome factors were qi stagnation,phlegm,dampness,heat and yang deficiency.The results of clustering analysis of 8 common factors showed that the main TCM syndrome types were liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome,damp-heat internal accumulation syndrome,liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome,and liver-stomach digression syndrome.The main TCM syndrome of diarrhea-predominant IBS was liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome,and the main TCM syndrome of mixed type and constipation type was damp-heat accumulation syndrome.There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of TCM syndrome types in patients with different types(P<0.05).Conclusion The location of IBS is mainly in liver,spleen and large intestine,especially in liver.The TCM syndrome types are mainly liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome,damp-heat internal accumulation syndrome,liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in maintaining tissue morphology and functions, and their precise regulatory effectiveness is closely related to expression patterns. However, the spatial expression patterns of lncRNAs in humans are poorly characterized. Here, we constructed five comprehensive transcriptomic atlases of human lncRNAs covering thousands of major tissue samples in normal and disease states. The lncRNA transcriptomes exhibited high consistency within the same tissues across resources, and even higher complexity in specialized tissues. Tissue-elevated (TE) lncRNAs were identified in each resource and robust TE lncRNAs were refined by integrative analysis. We detected 1 to 4684 robust TE lncRNAs across tissues; the highest number was in testis tissue, followed by brain tissue. Functional analyses of TE lncRNAs indicated important roles in corresponding tissue-related pathways. Moreover, we found that the expression features of robust TE lncRNAs made them be effective biomarkers to distinguish tissues; TE lncRNAs also tended to be associated with cancer, and exhibited differential expression or were correlated with patient survival. In summary, spatial classification of lncRNAs is the starting point for elucidating the function of lncRNAs in both maintenance of tissue morphology and progress of tissue-constricted diseases.

Small ubiquitin-related modifier(SUMOylation)is a dynamic post-translational modification that maintains cardiac function and can protect against a hypertrophic response to cardiac pressure overload.However,the function of SUMOylation after myocardial infarction(MI)and the molecular details of heart cell responses to SUMO1 deficiency have not been determined.In this study,we demonstrated that SUMO1 protein was inconsistently abundant in different cell types and heart regions after MI.However,SUMO1 knockout significantly exacerbated systolic dysfunction and infarct size after myocardial injury.Single-nucleus RNA sequencing revealed the differential role of SUMO1 in regulating heart cells.Among cardiomyocytes,SUMO1 deletion increased the Nppa+Nppb+Ankrd1+cardiomyocyte subcluster pro-portion after MI.In addition,the conversion of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts subclusters was inhibited in SUMO1 knockout mice.Importantly,SUMO1 loss promoted proliferation of endothelial cell subsets with the ability to reconstitute neovascularization and expressed angiogenesis-related genes.Computational analysis of ligand/receptor interactions suggested putative pathways that mediate cardiomyocytes to endothelial cell communication in the myocardium.Mice preinjected with cardiomyocyte-specific AAV-SUMO1,but not the endothelial cell-specific form,and exhibited ameliorated cardiac remodeling following MI.Collectively,our results identified the role of SUMO1 in cardiomyocytes,fibroblasts,and endothelial cells after Ml.These findings provide new insights into SUMO1 involvement in the patho-genesis of MI and reveal novel therapeutic targets.

Objective:To investigate the value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) combined with three myocardial markers in the diagnosis of acute chest pain etiology.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 120 patients with acute chest pain admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2020 to December 2020. All patients underwent MSCT imaging examination upon admission, and serum creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), troponin I (cTnI), and myoglobin (MYO) levels were also tested. The final clinical diagnosis was used as the judgment standard to draw a 2×2 four-square table, and calculate the value of MSCT, CK-MB, cTnI, and MYO in the diagnosis of acute chest pain etiology.Resultsl:Among the 120 acute chest pain patients included, 75 were diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (62.50%), 16 with aortic dissection (13.33%), and 29 with pulmonary embolism (24.17%). The coincidence rate of MSCT diagnosis of coronary heart disease was 86.67%(65/75), the diagnosis of aortic dissection coincidence rate was 12/16, and the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism coincidence rate was 75.86%(22/29). The serum CK-MB, cTnI, and MYO levels in the coronary heart disease group were significantly higher than those in the aortic dissection group and pulmonary embolism group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum CK-MB, cTnI, and MYO levels between the aortic dissection group and pulmonary embolism group (all P>0.05). The sensitivity of CK-MB, cTnI, and MYO in the differential diagnosis of acute chest pain patients with coronary heart disease and non-coronary heart disease were 93.33%, 85.33%, and 89.33%, respectively, and the specificity were 73.33%, 80.00%, and 77.78%, respectively. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were 0.833, 0.826, and 0.836, respectively. Conclusions:MSCT can better identify coronary heart disease, aortic dissection, and pulmonary embolism in patients with acute chest pain, while the three myocardial markers can better distinguish patients with coronary heart disease and non-coronary heart disease. Therefore, MSCT combined with myocardial markers should be used for the diagnosis of acute chest pain patients in clinical practice to facilitate early clinical diagnosis.
