Objective:To investigate the effects of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on acute myocardial injury in rats with high-level spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods:Twenty-four healthy male SD rats, aged 8-10 weeks with a body weight of 250-300 g, were randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table method: sham operation group, high-level SCI group (SCI group), high-level SCI+AS-IV group (SCI+AS-IV group) and high-level SCI+AS-IV+silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) inhibitor EX527 group (SCI+AS-IV+EX527 group), with 6 rats in each group. The SCI model was established using the modified Allen method and the sham operation group underwent the spinal cord exposure only. In the SCI+AS-IV group, 40 mg/kg of AS-IV was injected intraperitoneally immediately after injury. SCI+AS-IV+EX527 group received an intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg EX527 at one hour before injury and another injection of 40 mg/kg AS-IV in the same way immediately after injury. The sham operation group and the SCI group received an equal volume of saline via intraperitoneal injection. Immediately after awakening from injury, the hind limb motor function of the rats in each group was observed, recorded and then evaluated using the BBB method. At 24 hours after injury, the ultrastructure of the cardiomyocytes was examined under a transmission electron microscope; the levels of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), myocardial tissue inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-18 and IL-1β were quantified by the ELISA method; the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) of the myocardial tissue was assessed utilizing the dihydroethidium (DHE) assay; biochemical analyses were employed to determine the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations; mRNA and protein expression levels of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1 (caspase-1), gasdermin D (GSDMD), SIRT1 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) were examined using RT-PCR and Western blot; cardiomyocyte pyroptosis rate was evaluated by caspase-1 and TUNEL double-labeled fluorescence staining.Results:Immediately after awakening from injury, the sham operation group exhibited normal hind limb activity, with BBB scores of 21(21, 21)points, while the remaining groups displayed flaccid paralysis in both hind limbs, accompanied by the cessation of spontaneous excretion, with BBB scores of 0(0, 0)points. At 24 hours after injury, transmission electron microscopy did not reveal any significant abnormalities in the ultrastructure of the myocardiomyocytes in the sham operation group, while changes of varying degrees were observed in the SCI group. The ELISA results indicated that at 24 hours after injury, the serum cTnI level in the SCI group was (1 435.3±148.1)pg/ml, higher than (619.6±95.4)pg/ml in the sham operation group ( P<0.01); the cTnI level was (1 154.0±80.0)pg/ml in the SCI+AS-IV group, lower than that in the SCI group ( P<0.01); the cTnI level was (1 321.8±50.2)pg/ml in the SCI+AS-IV+EX527 group, higher than that in the SCI+AS-IV group ( P<0.05). The levels of IL-18 and IL-1β in the myocardial tissue in the SCI group were (493.0±145.0)pg/ml and (936.7±93.2)pg/ml, higher than (131.1±62.5)pg/ml and (281.7±83.6)pg/ml in the sham operation group ( P<0.01); the levels of IL-18 and IL-1β in the SCI+AS-IV group were (182.4±45.6)pg/ml and (573.4±99.5)pg/ml, lower than those in the SCI group ( P<0.01); the levels of IL-18 and IL-1β in the SCI+AS-IV+EX527 group were (337.4±72.0)pg/ml and (742.6±82.7)pg/ml, higher than those in the SCI+AS-IV group ( P<0.05), yet lower than those in the SCI group ( P<0.01). At 24 hours after injury, DHE and biochemical assays showed that the levels of ROS and MDA in the myocardial tissue in the SCI group were (65±6)% and (1.97±0.27)nmol/mg, higher than (19±10)% and (1.03±0.16)nmol/mg in the sham operation group ( P<0.01); the ROS and MDA levels in the SCI+AS-IV group were (37±10)% and (1.39±0.11)nmol/mg, lower than those in the SCI group ( P<0.01); the ROS and MDA levels in the SCI+AS-IV+EX527 group were (52±7)% and (1.70±0.14)nmol/mg, higher than those in the SCI+AS-IV group ( P<0.05).

The mRNA expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in the myocardial tissue in the SCI group were 0.41±0.09 and 0.56±0.07, lower than 1.20±0.14 and 1.29±0.20 in the sham operation group ( P<0.01); the mRNA expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in the myocardial tissue in the SCI+AS-IV group were 0.78±0.08 and 1.01±0.19, higher than those of the SCI group ( P<0.01); the mRNA expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in the myocardial tissue of the SCI+AS-IV+EX527 group were 0.53±0.12 and 0.72±0.22, lower than those of the SCI+AS-IV group ( P<0.05). At 24 hours after injury, the western blot analysis showed that the protein expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1 and GSDMD in the myocardial tissue in the SCI group were 1.00±0.20, 0.60±0.19 and 0.77±0.15 respectively, which were higher than 0.27±0.09, 0.18±0.10 and 0.28±0.08 in the sham operation group ( P<0.01); the protein expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1 and GSDMD in the SCI+AS-IV group were 0.59±0.10, 0.25±0.11 and 0.33±0.11 respectively, lower than those in the SCI group ( P<0.01); the protein expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1 and GSDMD in the myocardial tissue in the SCI+AS-IV+EX527 group were 0.85±0.15, 0.54±0.12 and 0.55±0.13 respectively, higher than those in the SCI+AS-IV group ( P<0.05). The protein expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in the myocardial tissue in the SCI group were 0.44±0.16 and 0.28±0.10, lower than 0.93±0.22 and 0.75±0.16 in the sham operation group ( P<0.01); the protein expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in the myocardial tissue in the SCI+AS-IV group were 0.78±0.19 and 0.55±0.12, higher than those in the SCI group ( P<0.01); the protein expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in the myocardial tissue in the SCI+AS-IV+EX527 group were 0.46±0.16 and 0.35±0.07, lower than those in the SCI+AS-IV group ( P<0.05). At 24 hours after injury, caspase-1 and TUNEL double-labeled fluorescence staining showed that the cardiomyocyte pyroptosis rate in the SCI group was (34.5±6.7)%, higher than (5.3±2.9)% in the sham operation group ( P<0.01); the cardiomyocyte pyroptosis rate in the SCI+AS-IV group was (13.4±3.0)%, lower than that in the SCI group ( P<0.01); the cardiomyocyte pyroptosis rate in the SCI+AS-IV+EX527 group was (22.5±5.9)%, higher than that in the SCI+AS-IV group ( P<0.01), yet lower than that in the SCI group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:AS-IV can significantly reduce acute myocardial injury in rats with high-level SCI. Its mechanism may involve activating the myocardial SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway, protecting the mitochondria, enhancing the ability to resist oxidative stress, and effectively inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis pathway.

【Objective】 Corin, a transmembrane serine protease that can cleave atrial natriuretic peptide precursor (pro-ANP) into atrial natriuretic peptide with smaller bioactive molecules, participates in the pathophysiological process of hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of Corin gene variation with blood pressure responses to sodium and potassium dietary interventions. 【Methods】 In 2004, we recruited 514 participants from 124 families in 7 villages of Baoji, Shaanxi Province, China. All the subjects received a 3-day normal diet, a 7-day low-salt diet, a 7-day high-salt diet, and finally a 7-day high-salt and potassium supplementation. Fifteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Corin gene were selected for final analysis. 【Results】 SNPs rs12509275 were significantly associated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) response to low-salt diet, while rs3749584 was associated with pulse pressure (PP) response to low-salt diet.SNP rs3749584 and rs10517195 were significantly associated with PP response to high-salt diet. In addition,rs17654278 were significantly associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) response to high-salt and potassium supplementation, rs2271037 was significantly correlated with DBP responses to high-salt and potassium supplementation, and rs4695253, rs12509275, rs2351783, rs36090894 were significantly associated with PP response to high-salt and potassium supplementation. 【Conclusion】 Corin gene polymorphisms were associated with blood pressure response to sodium and potassium, suggesting that Corin gene may be involved in pathophysiological process of salt sensitivity and potassium sensitivity.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of pretreatment drug resistance and the genetic polymorphism of CRF08_BC strains among HIV-1 patients in China.Methods:This cross-sectional survey involved the plasma samples of HIV patients in a national pretreatment HIV drug resistance survey conducted in 2018. RNA was extracted from the samples. The fragments containing protease and partial reverse transcriptase (PR/RT) regions were obtained and sequenced. Drug resistance was analyzed using Stanford HIVdb Program. Differences in polymorphic mutations between drug-resistant and non-drug-resistant HIV-1 strains were analyzed by Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. The association between drug-resistant and polymorphic mutations was evaluated using CorMut R package. Molecular transmission networks were constructed using HIV-TRACE software. Results:Totally 465 partial pol sequences were obtained from individuals with CRF08_BC infection in 25 provinces and cities. The total pretreatment drug resistance rate was 17.8% (83/465). The pretreatment drug resistance rates to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and protease inhibitors (PIs) were 16.6% (77/465), 1.1% (5/465) and 0.9% (4/465), respectively. The resistance rate to rilpivirine (RPV) was the highest (15.7%, 73/465). The most common mutation was E138A (11.6%, 54/465). There were six polymorphic mutations (S162C, K102Q, T200A, V179E, I202V, T200M) that co-variated with E138A. The molecular transmission network showed that patients infected with CRF08_BC strains carrying the resistant mutations at position E138 mainly gathered in clusters in Yunnan and Sichuan, and the highest degree of connection was in Lincang, Yunnan. Conclusions:In China, HIV-1 CRF08_BC-infected patients showed a high rate of pretreatment resistance to one of the second-generation NNRTIs, namely RPV. Further researches were warranted to evaluate the impacts of co-mutations of the E138A mutation and polymorphic sites on HIV resistance and replicative capacity.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and value of performing a three-sided encapsulation procedure based on fascia anatomy in laparoscopic lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) for middle and low rectal cancer.Methods:This was a retrospective review. The study cohort comprised patients who met the diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer according to the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer, had a short lymph node diameter of >5 mm on the lateral side within the 15 days before surgery, were evaluated as feasible candidates for laparoscopic total mesorectal excision+LLND surgery, had been diagnosed with low or intermediate level rectal cancer, and whose tumor was less than 8 cm away from the anal verge according to pathological examination of the operative specimen. Patients with a history of other malignant tumors of the abdomen or with incomplete follow-up data were excluded. Forty-two patients with middle and low rectal cancer who had undergone lateral lymph node dissection in diagnosis and treatment center of Gastrointestinal Cancer of Guangdong Hospital of Chinese Medicine from Jan.2018 to Dec.2022 were enrolled. There were 24 men (57.1%) and 18 women (42.9%) aged 58.4±11.8 years and the median BMI was 22.5 (19.3–24.1) kg/m 2. The main point of the three-sided encapsulation procedure is to expand the external side medial to the external iliac artery and vein, narrowing the range of exterior side dissection. The anterior-medial side is designed to expand the vesical fascia to define the range of anterior-medial side extension. The internal side is fully extended to the ureterohypogastric nerve fascia; the distal point of the caudal extension reaches the level of the Alcock canal and the bottom reaches the piriformis, enabling dissection of the obturator nerve and No.283 lymph nodes. No.263D lymph nodes are dissected by exposing the internal iliac artery and its branches, dissecting the group No.263P lymph nodes, and severing the inferior vesical artery. Finally, the lateral lymphatic tissue is completely resected. Relevant variables were recorded, including the number of lateral lymph nodes detected, the rate of lymph node metastasis, operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, and 3-year overall survival rate. Results:Laparoscopic surgery was successfully completed in all patients with no conversions to open surgery and no intraoperative complications. Twenty-seven (64.3%) of the study patients underwent left-sided LLND, 10 (23.8%) right-sided LLND, and five (11.9%) bilateral LLND, with lymph nodes cleared on both sides. All patients' lymph nodes were examined pathologically. A median of 17.0 (11.7, 26.0) lymph nodes was detected, the median of lateral lymph nodes being 5.0 (2.0, 10.2). The median operation time was 254.5 (199.0, 325.2) minutes. The median intra-operative blood loss was 50.0 (30.0, 100.0) mL. All patients were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma by pathological examination of the operative specimen. Two patients developed postoperative intestinal obstruction, one lymphatic leakage, and one a perineal incision infection. There were no cases of anastomotic leakage. The median postoperative hospital stay was 6.0 (5.0, 7.0) days and the median follow-up time 23.5 (9.0, 36.7) months. During follow-up, three patients (7.1%) died of tumor recurrence and metastasis. Two (4.8%) experienced mild urinary dysfunction, and one (2.4%) had moderate postoperative erectile dysfunction. One patient (2.4%) was found to have prostate and lung metastases 3 month after surgery. The 3-year overall survival rate was 74.4%.Conclusions:Three sided encapsulation is a safe and feasible procedure for LLND, achieving accurate and complete clearance of lateral lymphatic tissue.

【Objective】 To investigate the quality changes of suspended red blood cells (SRBCs) prepared from the blood of Tibetan high Hb population, and explore the availability and safety of blood collected from Tibetan high Hb population. 【Methods】 The voluntary blood donors were grouped according to the Hb concentration at the initial screening: female blood donors from Tibet Autonomous Region (>3 500 m) with Hb≥190 g/L and male blood donors with Hb≥210 g/L were classified as plateau high hemoglobin group. A total of 13 male blood donors from Tibet Autonomous Region were recruited. And the female blood donors (n=13) with Hb(115~165) g/L and male blood donors (n=12) with Hb(120~185) g/L from Chengdu were classified as control group. Whole blood of 200 mL specification was centrifuged to remove the plasma, and MAP additive solution was added to prepare SRBCs, then SRBCs were divided into four aliquots (50 mL/bag and stored at 4℃. Parameters as blood routine, free Hb and hemolysis rate were measured aseptically at day 1, 14, 21, 35 of storage. And 10 mL SRBCs was used to extract membrane proteins for tyrosine phosphorylation detection of band 3 protein. 【Results】 The RBCs counts(×1012/L), hematocrit(%) and hemoglobin(g/L) of Tibetan high Hb group and control group were 6.76±0.95 vs 4.65±0.52, 63.3±6.8 vs 43.1±4.4 and 214.4±19.8 vs 143.2±16.9 (P<0.01). The erythrocyte deformability test on the day 1, 14, 21, 35 of storage showed that the deformability of SRBCs prepared from Tibetan high Hb group was significantly lower than that of the control group under shear stress of 3, 5.33, 9.49, 16.87, and 30 Pa, while the hemolysis rate of SRBCs prepared from the Tibetan high Hb group and the control group on the day 1, 14, 21, 35 were 0.050 2±0.040 2 vs 0.022 2±0.011 1, 0.055 4±0.043 vs 0.032 1±0.028 7, 0.061 2±0.025 9 vs 0.034 3±0.031 7 and 0.069 6±0.032 0 vs 0.044 0±0.033 3 (P<0.05). Western blotting showed that the cytoplasmic N-terminal Y21 of band 3 protein of SRBCs prepared from Tibetan high Hb group was highly phosphorylated. 【Conclusion】 The deformability of SRBCs prepared from the Tibetan high Hb group was significantly lower while the hemolysis rate of SRBCs was higher than that of the control group. The hemolysis rate of the SRBCs at the end of storage prepared from the Tibetan high Hb group meets the requirements of the national standard GB18469-2012(<0.8%). The increase of hemolysis rate of SRBCs prepared from the Tibetan high Hb group was closely related to the phosphorylation of band 3 protein.
