Objective:To compare the influence of dronedarone and amiodarone on the bleeding risk of patients with atrial fibrillation treated with rivaroxaban anticoagulation.Methods:Clinical data of 81 patients with atrial fibrillation treated with rivaroxaban anticoagulation at Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital from January 2020 to July 2023, including 36 patients treated with dronedarone and 45 patients treated with amiodarone, were retrospectively analyzed. The effects of dronedarone and amiodarone on the anticoagulation of rivaroxaban were compared using the incidence of bleeding events, thrombosis events, and adverse reactions as outcome measures.Results:The total bleeding in the dronedarone group [22.22% (8/36)] was significantly higher than that in the amiodarone group [6.67% (3/45)] ( χ2 = 4.12, P < 0.05). The total bleeding of conventional-dose rivaroxaban in the dronedarone group was 30.00% (6/20), while the total bleeding of low-dose rivaroxaban was 12.50% (2/16), with no statistical significance ( χ2 = 1.58, P > 0.05). No thrombotic events or adverse reactions to dronedarone or amiodarone were observed in all patients. Conclusion:Compared with amiodarone, dronedarone significantly increases the bleeding risk of rivaroxaban anticoagulation in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, and reducing the dose of rivaroxaban in patients using dronedarone does not reduce the bleeding risk.

Human genetic resources are an indispensable part of national natural science and technology resources,as well as an important strategic resource for safeguarding national security,public health,and social public interests.To promote the effective protection and rational utilization of human genetic resources,as well as improve and optimize the local human genetic resources management system in China,this paper summarized the current situation of administrative approval and supervision of national human genetic resources from 2004 to 2021 by sorting out the national human genetic resources management policies and regulations.Furthermore,the current situation and progress of local human genetic resources management in China were understood from three aspects,including development planning and programs of human genetic resources,administrative licensing and penalties,and the construction of management expert committees.The main problems of local human genetic resources management in China were discussed and analyzed,such as unclear supervision,difficulty in supervision and inspection,and capacity for services.Based on the causes of the problems and the local management work,specific countermeasures and suggestions were put forward from the perspective of clarifying the regulatory policies and procedures for human genetic resources,improving the supervision and inspection mechanisms,and improving the management and service capabilities.

Objective:To analyze the costs and effectiveness of five common screening modes and genetic screening for thalassemia in China in order to find the optimal way and provide evidence for the implementation of thalassemia prevention and control projects in Hunan Province.Methods:From June 2020 to April 2021, 12 971 couples from 14 cities and autonomous prefectures in Hunan Province were selected as the study population. The diagnosis of thalassemia was based on the results of genetic testing. Results of routine blood test and hemoglobin electrophoresis were collected and analyzed. The efficacy of five screening modes, at the cut-off value of <80 fl or 82 fl for the mean corpuscular volume (MCV), was analyzed by positive predictive value, negative predictive value, Jorden index and cost-effectiveness ratio. Sensitivity analysis was used to assess the feasibility of genetic screening at different costs after fixing the costs of routine blood and hemoglobin electrophoresis. The five thalassemia screening models are as follows: Mode 1: The woman had a blood routine test first. If the result was positive, the spouse required a blood routine test. If both results were positive, a thalassemia gene test should be offered to the couple. Mode 2: Both husband and wife were screened by blood routine and hemoglobin electrophoresis. If one or both of them were positive, both would be tested for thalassemia gene. Mode 3: The couple received blood routine tests initially. If either was positive, both should receive hemoglobin electrophoresis testing. If either was positive, both parties will conduct thalassemia gene testing. Mode 4: The woman was screened by blood routine and hemoglobin electrophoresis. If any one of them was positive, the woman would be tested for thalassemia gene. If the gene test result was positive, the spouse should receive thalassemia gene. Mode 5: Both spouses conducted a blood routine test. If either was positive, both would conduct hemoglobin electrophoresis test. If both were positive, both spouses should receive thalassemia gene testing. Gene testing mode: The woman would be tested for thalassemia, and her spouse would have thalassemia test too if her result was positive.Results:When using MCV<80 fl as the cut-off for diagnosing thalassemia, the Youden indices of the five prenatal screening modes in Hunan Province were 0.551, 0.639, 0.898, 0.555 and 0.356, while when using MCV<82 fl as the cut-off, the Youden indices were 0.549, 0.629, 0.851, 0.548 and 0.356. When the MCV cut-off value was <80 fl, the missed diagnosis rates of the five screening modes were 44.44%, 0.00, 0.00, 18.52% and 62.96%, and the cost-effectiveness ratios were 21 709, 250 939, 76 870, 138 463 and 92 860 yuan (RMB)/couple, respectively. When the price of genetic testing was lower than 55 yuan (RMB), the cost-effectiveness ratio of genetic screening was lower than that of Mode 3.Conclusions:MCV<80 fl can be considered as the positive criteria in blood routine screening for thalassemia in Hunan Province, and the cost-effectiveness ratio of Mode 3 (the couple received blood routine tests initially. If either was positive, both should receive hemoglobin electrophoresis testing. If either was positive, both parties will conduct thalassemia gene testing) is the best. Genetic screening has certain advantages with the decreasing price.

Objective     To analyze the relationship between preoperative anemia and postoperative infection and death in children with acyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) after elective cardiac surgery. Methods     Medical records and follow-up data of 3 859 children with acyanotic CHD who underwent elective cardiac surgery in our hospital from 2011 to 2018 were retrospectively collected, including 2 081 males and 1 778 females with a median age of 32.2 (13.7, 61.5) months. The relationship between preoperative anemia and postoperative infection and death within 90 days was analyzed by univariate and multivariate regression analyses. Results     Preoperative anemia was found in 325 (8.4%) patients. There were 716 (18.6%) patients of postoperative infection, including 281 (7.3%) patients of confirmed infection and 435 (11.3%) patients of suspected infection. Forty-six (1.2%) patients died within 90 days after the operation. Univariate analysis showed that age, infection history within 3 months before admission, degree of pulmonary hypertension, the risk adjustment in congenital heart surgery-1 (RACHS-1) score, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), disease diagnosis,  chromosome abnormality, preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<55% and preoperative anemia were associated with postoperative infection. Age, degree of pulmonary hypertension, RACHS-1 score, CPB, disease diagnosis and preoperative LVEF<55% were associated with postoperative death within 90 days. Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative anemia was significantly associated with confirmed postoperative infection [OR=1.82, 95%CI (1.18, 2.82), P=0.007], suspected infection [OR=1.60, 95%CI (1.11, 2.30), P=0.012] and total infection [OR=1.64, 95%CI (1.20, 2.24), P=0.002]. The results of modified Poisson regression analysis showed that there was no significant association between preoperative anemia and death within 90 days after the surgery [RR=1.59, 95%CI (0.69, 3.69), P=0.276]. Conclusion     Preoperative anemia may be a risk factor for infection after elective cardiac surgery in children with acyanotic congenital heart disease.

Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of microRNA (miRNA)-4320 on the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer MGC803 cells.Methods:Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-4320 in four gastric cancer cell lines(MGC803, HS-746T, SGC7901, BGC823) MGC803 cells were infected with recombinant lentivirus carrying miR-4320 interference fragments or blank lentivirus, and set as si-miR-4320 group and NC group. Thiazole blue colorimetry and Transwell small box experiment were used to detect the proliferation and migration of MGC803 cells after miR-4320 was down-regulated. The bioinformatics software RNAhybrid was used to predict the target gene of miR-4320. The targeting relationship between miR-4320 and target gene was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of miR-4320 target gene. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test or one-way ANOVA was used for comparison between groups. Results:The expression of miR-4320 in the four gastric cancer cell lines was significantly higher than that of normal gastric mucosal epithelial cells ( P<0.01). The expression of miR-4320 in MGC803 cells in the NC group and the si-miR-4320 group were 8.19±1.00 and 1.09±0.31, respectively. The miR-4320 interference fragment significantly reduced the expression of miR-4320 ( P<0.01). The absorbance of MGC803 cells in the si-miR-4320 group was significantly lower than that of the NC group ( P<0.05), and the migration ability was significantly lower than that of the NC group ( P<0.01). Suppressor of cytokine signaling1 ( SOCSI) is the target gene of miR-4320. Compared with the NC group, the SOCS1 gene expression in the si-miR-4320 group was significantly up-regulated ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The expression of miR-4320 is increased in gastric cancer cell lines. Down-regulating the expression of miR-4320 can inhibit the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer MGC803 cells by inducing the expression of SOCS1 gene.

The CTB-191K22.5 inhibitor (Anti-CTB-191K22.5) and negative inhibitor (Control) were transfected into colorectal cancer SW480 cells, denoted as Observation group and Control group, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT) -PCR) was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect. MTT method and Transwell chamber method were used to evaluate the proliferation and invasion of SW480 cells. Western blot was used to evaluate the protein levels of PI 3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in SW480 cells. The bioinformatics software starBase v2.0 was used to predict the target genes of CTB-191K22.5. qRT-PCR was used to evaluate the expression of CTB-191K22.5 target gene in SW480 cells. Measurement data were expressed as Mean±SD, and t-test was used for comparison between two groups. Results:Compared with normal tissues, the expression of CTB-191K22.5 in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly increased ( P<0.01). The expression of CTB-191K22.5 in SW480 cells of the Control group and Observation group were 6.60±0.85 and 1.08±0.21, respectively. The expression level of CTB-191K22.5 decreased after transfection with Anti-CTB-191K22.5 ( P<0.01). Compared with the Control group, the SW480 cell proliferation ability of the Observation group decreased ( P<0.01). The invasion numbers of SW480 cells in the Control group and Observation group were (135.4 ± 16.29) and (42.24±14.59), respectively. The invasion ability of SW480 cells decreased after transfection with Anti-CTB-191K22.5 ( P<0.01). Compared with the Control group, the expression levels of PI 3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway protein in SW480 cells in the Observation group decreased. miR-326 may be the target gene of CTB-191K22.5. Compared with the Control group, transfection with Anti-CTB-191K22.5 significantly increased the expression level of miR-326 in SW480 cells ( P<0.01). Conclusion:CTB-191K22.5 is highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues, and down-regulation of CTB-191K22.5 may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer SW480 cells by targeting miR-326.

Objective:To explore the effect of microRNA (miRNA)-3126-5p on the proliferation and migration of colorectal cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of LIM and SH3 protein 1 ( LASP1). Methods:Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of miR-3126-5p in colorectal cancer cell lines (HT-29, HCT116, LoVo, SW480) and normal intestinal mucosal epithelial cells (HIEC). The cell line with the lowest expression level was selected as the experimental object. The experiment was divided into 2 groups: the negative control group (transfected with miR-NC) and the miR-3126-5p group (transfected with miR-3126-5p). Cells of each group were collected 48h after transfection. qRT-PCR method was used to detect the expression level of miR-3126-5p in each group. The MTS method and the scratch healing experiment were used to detect the proliferation level and migration ability of the cells in each group. The bioinformatics software microRNA.org and the dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment were used to predict and verify the target genes of miR-3126-5p, respectively. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of target genes in each group of cells. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), t test was used for comparison between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups. Results:Compared with normal intestinal mucosal epithelial cells (HIEC), the expression level of colorectal cancer cell line miR-3126-5p was significantly reduced ( P<0.05), and the cell line with the lowest expression level was HCT116 cells ( P<0.01). The expression of miR-3126-5p in HCT116 cells in the negative control group and miR-3126-5p group were (1.05±0.16) and (7.91±1.26) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.40, P<0.01). Compared with the negative control group, the proliferation ability of HCT116 cells in the miR-3126-5p group was significantly reduced ( t=4.52, P<0.05), and the migration ability was significantly reduced ( P<0.01). microRNA.org shows that miR-3126-5p has complementary binding sites with LIM and SH3 protein 1 ( LASP1) gene mRNA. miR-3126-5p can target LASP1 mRNA ( P<0.01). Compared with the negative control group, the expression of LASP1 gene in HCT116 cells of the miR-3126-5p group was significantly reduced ( t=4.56, P<0.01).

Results:Compared with GES-1 cells, the expression level of HAGLR in gastric cancer cell lines was lower (all P<0.05), and the cell line with the lowest HAGLR expression was SGC7901 cells ( P<0.01). The HAGLR expression in SGC7901 cells in the HAGLR group and the negative control group were 1.03±0.13 and 9.75±1.10, respectively. The expression level of HAGLR in the negative control group was significantly lower than that in the HAGLR group ( t=7.87, P<0.01). Compared with the negative control group, the absorbance of SGC7901 cells in the HAGLR group was significantly reduced ( P<0.05), and the scratch healing rate was significantly reduced ( P<0.01). The miRcode database showd that HAGLR and miR-93-5p have complementary binding sites. The dual luciferase reporter gene experiment showed that HAGLR can complement miR-93-5p ( P<0.01).

Conclusions:HAGLR is low expressed in gastric cancer cell lines. HAGLR inhibits the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer SGC7901 cells by negatively regulating miR-93-5p.

Objective    To analyze the perdictive value of Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP) for malnutrition or postoperative complications in children with critical congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods    A total of 875 children with critical CHD who were hospitalized in West China Hospital, Sichuan University form August 2019 to February 2021, including 442 males and 433 females with a median age of 30 (12, 48) months, were assessed by STAMP in Health Information System. Clinical data of postoperative complications were collected. Results    (1) Based on World Health Organization Z-score as gold standard, 24.5% had malnutrition risk, and 34.3% were diagnosed with malnutrition. According to STAMP, the children were with medium malnutrition risk of 37.9% and high malnutrition risk of 62.1%. There was a statistical difference of incidence rate of malnutrition and detection rate of STAMP malnutrition risk in gender, age, ICU stay or length of mechanical ventilation (P<0.05); (2) with the optimal cut-off point of 5.5 in STAMP for malnutrition, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative  predictive value and area under the curve (AUC) were 68.3%, 84.3%, 48.1%, 88.3% and 0.82, respectively; (3) 12.0% of the children were with postoperative complications; (4) with the optimal cut-off point of 5.5 in STAMP for postoperative complications, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and AUC were 83.8%, 73.1%, 18.8%, 99.1% and 0.85, respectively. Conclusion    Children with critical CHD have a higher incidence of malnutrition risk and postoperative complications. STAMP has a good perdictive value for malnutrition or postoperative complications, however, the sensitivity and specificity of STAMP are affected by the gold standard or the cut-off point.

FTY720 and IMMH002, prodrugs for sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P) agonists, show inadequate and inconsistent levels of phosphorylation in humans compared to that in rats. In this study, FTY720 or IMMH002 analogues (-) were designed and synthesized with modified head pieces to improve the biotransformation of the prodrugs to the active phosphorylated forms. Target compounds were synthesized a convergent route using the key and optically pure building block , which was first synthesized asymmetrically catalyzed amination. The phosphorylation rates of these analogues in rat or human blood were compared. The new methyl-substituted analogue compound showed higher phosphorylation rates in both rats and humans than the parent compound, whereas compound showed improvements in rats, but not in humans. In pharmacokinetics studies of rats, compounds and both had higher levels of phosphorylation than FTY720 and IMMH002. Thus, our study not only yielded new compounds with therapeutic potential, but also showed species differences between rats and humans in response to the structural modifications, which might be useful for predicting the biotransformation behavior and efficacy of this class of prodrugs in the clinic.
