The ethics committee of organ transplantation technology and clinical application in a hospital has encountered some difficulties and typical cases in its review work and practice for many years. Sometimes, it is difficult to make a decision in these dilemmas. Based on the previous experience of the hospital in the ethical review of organ donation and transplantation, combined with two typical cases, this paper discussed and analyzed two review points of whether the voluntary unpaid donation and the principle of informed consent were met, and whether the risk-benefit ratio was reasonable, and put forward relevant ethical and legal countermeasure for further research by institutional ethics committees and other parties, in order to provide reference for discussing the practical problems and ethical confusion of ethical review of organ donation and transplantation.

Objective To investigate the effect of microRNA-214-3p (miR-214-3p) expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) on the cisplatin sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells and its mechanism. Methods Sixty-four ovarian cancer patients were selected as study subjects and divided into platinum-partially sensitive group and platinum-sensitive group based on progression-free survival after chemotherapy. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression of miR-214-3p in ovarian cancer tissues from the two groups, and the 2-year survival rates of patients with different clinical characteristics were compared. CAFs and normal ovarian fibroblasts (NFs) were primarily cultured, and qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence experiments were used to detect the expression of miR-214-3p and p62 protein in CAFs and NFs. The expression levels of SQSTM1 gene in different types of ovarian cells were searched through the CSIOVDB database. CAFs were transiently transfected with miR-214-3p mimic (mimic group) and miR-214-3p mimic NC (NC group), and untransfected CAFs were selected as control group. Cell culture supernatants from each group were collected, and an indirect co-culture model of ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 with CAFs from each group was established. The CCK-8 method, DCFH-DA method, qRT-PCR, and immunoblotting were used to detect the proliferation rate, half-maximal inhibitory concentration of cisplatin (IC50), reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, and relative expression levels of miR-214-3p, cisplatin resistance gene CCND1, and autophagy protein p62 in SKOV3 cells under different culture conditions. Results The relative expression of miR-214-3p was lower in the platinum-partially sensitive group than in the platinum-sensitive group (P < 0.01). There were statistically significant differences in the 2-year survival rates among patients with different International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages, platinum partial sensitivity, and low miR-214-3p expression (P < 0.01). The relative expression of miR-214-3p was lower in ovarian CAFs than in NFs, while the expression level of p62 protein was higher in CAFs than in NFs (P < 0.01). Online analysis of the CSIOVDB database showed that the expression level of SQSTM1 gene in ovarian CAFs was higher than that in ovarian cancer epithelial cells and NFs (P < 0.01). Compared with SKOV3 cells indirectly co-cultured with CAFs in the control group and CAFs in NC group, SKOV3 cells indirectly co-cultured with mimic CAFs showed reduced proliferation rate, cisplatin IC50, and ROS content, increased relative expression of miR-214-3p, and decreased relative expression of CCND1 mRNA and p62 protein (P < 0.01). Conclusion The expression of miR-214-3p in CAFs is correlated with the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin. Low expression of miR-214-3p in CAFs can promote the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells and ROS-mediated autophagy, thereby reducing the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin.

Aim To study the resistance of SIRT3 ex-pression in dopaminergic neurons against the inflamma-tory damage caused by microglia activation and its re-lated mechanism.Methods Dopaminergic neurons(MN9D cells)and microglia(BV-2 cells)were co-cultured to establish an inflammatory injury model in vitro.MN9D cells were divided into the control group,model group,SIRT3 group and SIRT3+PJ34 group.mRNA levels were analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction,cell apoptosis rate was de-tected by flow cytometry,changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were tested by JC-1 method,and the opening of mitochondrial permeability transport pore(mPTP)was analyzed by co-incubation of calce-in-AM and CoCl2.The protein expression was detected by Western blot.Results Compared to the model group,overexpression of SIRT3 in the SIRT3 group significantly reduced the apoptosis rate of MN9D cells.It also led to a significant increase in the expression of SIRT3 and SOD2 genes,as well as a notable decrease in PARP-1,tumor necrosis factor-α,and interleukin 1β(IL-1β)protein expressions.Moreover,it resulted in a substantial reduction in the p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 ratio.There was an improvement observed in mito-chondrial membrane potential along with decreased mPTP opening and ROS production in the SIRT3 group.These differences among these groups were sta-tistically significant(all P＜0.05).After inhibiting PARP-1 activity of MN9D cells in the SIRT3+PJ34 group,except for the insignificant changes in SIRT3 and IL-1 β protein expression,the changing trend of other indicators was further enhanced on the basis of SIRT3 group.The differences between two groups re-mained statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Con-clusions SIRT3 expression can attenuate the inflam-matory damage of dopaminergic neurons induced by microglia activation,and the mechanism may be relat-ed to improving mitochondrial function,inhibiting PARP-1 activity and NF-κB signaling pathway caused by the reduction of ROS production.

Objective:To evaluate the gene mutation profile and prognostic significance of adult cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML) with CEBPA-bZIP mutation. Methods:Targeted sequencing was implemented on the diagnostic bone marrow DNA samples of 141 adult CN-AML subjects with CEBPA-bZIP mutation. The nomogram model for leukemia-free survival (LFS) rate was generated by combining genetic abnormalities and clinical data. Risk stratification was conducted based on prognostic variables and the effect of risk-adjusted consolidation therapy was investigated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results:Four variables were finally included in our nomogram model after multivariate Cox analysis,and an equation for risk score calculation was obtained,risk score=1.3002×white blood cell (WBC) (≥18.77×109/L)+1.4065×CSF3R mutation positive+2.6489×KMT2A mutation positive+1.0128×DNA methylation-related genes mutation positive. According to the nomogram model,patients were further divided into low-risk group (score=0,n=46) and high-risk group (score>0,n=95). Prognostic analysis showed that the 5-year LFS rate,5-year overall survival (OS) rate,and 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) of patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the high-risk group were 93.5％,97.1％,and 3.5％,while those in patients who received maintenance chemotherapy were 32.9％,70.5％,and 63.4％,respectively. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Allo-HSCT could significantly improve the prognosis of patients in high-risk group. However,no corresponding benefit was observed in the low-risk group. Conclusion:Adult CN-AML with CEBPA-bZIP mutation has a complex co-mutation pattern. The nomogram model based on mutations of CFS3R,KMT2A and DNA methylation-related genes together with WBC count can further divide this subset of patients into a relatively low-risk group and a relatively high-risk group. For individuals in the high-risk group,allo-HSCT is proposed as post-remission therapy. The above data will benefit the prognosis estimation and treatment decision for adult CN-AML with CEBPA-bZIP mutation.

AIM: To study the correlation between meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD)patients and their sleep quality.METHODS: Retrospective case-control study. A total of 150 MGD patients treated in our hospital from January 2021 to October 2022 were selected and divided into sleep disorder group(75 cases, PSQI>10 points)and control group(75 cases, PSQI≤10 points)according to the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI). Both groups were scored using the ocular surface disease index(OSDI), underwent meibomian gland-related examinations(eyelid margin morphology, meibomian gland secretion ability, meibomian gland secretion quality score), corneal fluorescein staining(FL)score, Schirmer Ⅰ test(SⅠt), tear film break-up time(BUT)was measured, and sleep indicators(sleep quality, sleep latency, subjective sleep quality, sleep time)were evaluated.RESULTS: There were significant differences in OSDI score, FL score, SⅠt, BUT, eyelid margin morphology score, meibomian gland secretion ability score, and meibomian gland secretion quality score between the two groups(P<0.05). In the sleep disorder group, PSQI score, sleep latency score, subjective sleep quality score, and sleep time score were significantly positively correlated with OSDI score, FL score, meibomian gland secretion ability score, and meibomian gland secretion quality score(P<0.05); PSQI score, subjective sleep quality score, and sleep time score were significantly positively correlated with eyelid margin morphology score(P<0.05); PSQI score, sleep latency score, and subjective sleep quality score were significantly negatively correlated with BUT and SⅠt(P<0.05); sleep time score was significantly negatively correlated with BUT(P<0.05); sleep latency score was not significantly correlated with eyelid margin morphology score(P>0.05); sleep time score was not significantly correlated with SⅠt(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:The ocular surface condition of MGD patients is correlated with multiple sleep quality indicators, and a decline in sleep quality may increase the risk of MGD.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the role of salidroside in regulating the miR-1343-3p/MAP3K6 （mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 6）/MMP24 （membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase 24） signaling pathway to inhibit gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration. MethodsHuman gastric cancer cells （MGC-803） were divided into several groups based on different salidroside concentrations： a control group （0 μmol/mL）， a low-dose group （6 μmol/mL）， a medium-dose group （12 μmol/mL）， and a high-dose group （24 μmol/mL）. The anti proliferative effects of salidroside on human gastric cancer cells were evaluated by CCK-8 assay. Clonogenic assay was used to examine the effects of salidroside drugs on the clonogenic ability of human gastric cancer cells. Transwell assay was performed to detect the effect of salidroside on the invasive ability of human gastric cancer cells. Cell scratch assay was performed to detect the effect of salidroside on the migration ability of human gastric cancer cells. The miRNA expression profile was analyzed by using RNA-seq in cancer cells for 24 h after salidroside treatment. The differentially expressed miRNAs were clustered and their target genes were predicted. Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） were used to analyze and predict the functions of these target genes， and the interaction networks were established. Immunocytofluorescence was used to detect the expression of target proteins， and the transcription of candidate genes was detected by q-PCR. ResultsCCK-8 cytotoxicity experiments showed that salidroside inhibited the proliferation of MGC-803 cells （P < 0.01）. Cell cloning experiments showed that salidroside reduced the clonal formation capacity of MGC-803 cells （P < 0.000 1）. Cell invasion experiments showed that salidroside reduced the MGC-803 cell invasion capacity （P < 0.000 1）. Cell scratch experiments showed that salidroside reduced the cell migration capacity （P < 0.000 1）. RNA-seq findings showed that the expression of 44 miRNAs changed significantly after salidroside treatment in cancer cells （P < 0.05）. Bioinformatic analysis showed that there were 1 384 target mRNAs corresponding to the differentially expressed miRNAs， and the expression of the tumor suppressor miR-1343-3p was significantly upregulated after salidroside treatment （P < 0.01），and resulted in down-regulated transcription of MAP3K6 and MMP24 genes which are related to the proliferation and migration of cancer cells （P < 0.05）. Immunofluorescence experiments demonstrated that salidroside reduced protein expression levels in MAP3K6 and MMP24 genes （P < 0.000 1）. q-PCR experiments showed that salidroside reduced the mRNA expression level of MAP3K6 and MMP24 genes （P < 0.000 1）， while miRNA expression in miR-1343-3p gene was upregulated （P < 0.000 1）. ConclusionSalidroside regulates the miRNA-1343-3p/MAP3K6/MMP24 signaling molecules to inhibit proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells.

Uric acid (UA) is the final product of purine metabolism in human body,and its metabolic disorder will induce hyperuricemia (HUA).The occurrence and development of HUA are associated with a variety of pathological mechanisms such as oxidative stress injury,activation of inflammatory cytokines,and activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.These mechanisms directly or indirectly affect the bioavailability of endogenous nitric oxide (NO).The decrease in NO bioavailability is common in the diseases with high concentration of UA as an independent risk factor.In this review,we summarize the mechanisms by which high concentrations of UA affect the endogenous NO bioavailability,with a focus on the mechanisms of high-concentration UA in decreasing the synthesis and/or increasing the consumption of NO.This review aims to provide references for alleviating the multisystem symptoms and improving the prognosis of HUA,and lay a theoretical foundation for in-depth study of the correlations between HUA and other metabolic diseases.
