OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and potential mechanism of Qiangxin decoction on mitochondrion of rats with chronic heart failure （CHF）. METHODS The CHF model was established by ligating the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery. Modeled rats were divided into model group， Qiangxin decoction low-dose and high-dose groups （12.25， 24.50 g/kg， calculated by crude drug）， and chemical medicine group （Sacubitril valsartan sodium tablets， 10.42 mg/kg）， with 10 rats in each group； control group was set up without treatment. Each group of rats was orally administered with the corresponding medication or normal saline twice a day for 28 consecutive days. After the last medication， the contents of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide （NT-proBNP） and adenosine triphosphate （ATP） in serum and phosphatidic acid （PA） and cardiolipin （CL） in myocardial tissue were all detected； the pathological damage and collagen fibrosis of rat myocardial tissue were observed； the apoptosis of myocardial cells was determined； the ultrastructure of myocardial tissue was observed； the protein expressions of mitofusin 1 （Mfn1）， Mfn2， optic atrophy protein 1 （OPA1） and dynamin-related protein 1 （Drp1） were all detected in myocardial tissue. RESULTS Compared with control group，the serum content of NT-proBNP， apoptotic rate of myocardial cells， and relative expressions of S-OPA1 and Drp1 proteins were all increased significantly； serum content of ATP，contents of PA and CL， and relative expressions of Mfn1， Mfn2 and L-OPA1 proteins were all significantly reduced （P＜0.05）. There were abnormal membrane tissue structure in various layers of myocardial tissue， degeneration and necrosis of myocardial cells， and severe fibrosis； the mitochondria were swollen， with reduced or absent cristae， and uneven matrix density. After intervention with Qiangxin decoction， the levels of the aforementioned quantitative indicators in serum and myocardial tissue of rats （excluding CL content in the Qiangxin decoction low- dose group） were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）； the pathological damage of myocardial tissue had significantly improved， fibrosis had significantly reduced， mitochondrial morphology tended to be normal， cristae had increased， and matrix density was uniform. CONCLUSIONS Qiangxin decoction can regulate myocardial mitochondrial function and structural integrity of CHF rats， thereby improving myocardial energy metabolism and antagonizing myocardial fibrosis， the mechanism of which may be associated with activating PA/Mfn/CL signaling pathway.

Objective: To describe the prevalence and the association of sleep quality trajectory, social jetlag and comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression among college students, in order to provide a theoretical basis for improving the comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression in college students. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 135 college students from two universities in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province and Hefei, Anhui Province from April to May 2019, and were followed up once every one year for a total of three times, with a valid sample size of 1 034 individuals after matching with the baseline survey. A selfassessment questionnaire was used to investigate the social jetlag of college students, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate anxiety and depression symptoms, respectively, while the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. College students with GAD-7 score ≥5 and PHQ-9 score ≥5 were defined as having comorbid anxiety and depression symptoms. Latent class growth model (LCGM) was employed to analyze the sleep quality trajectory of college students, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between social jetlag, sleep quality trajectory and comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression. Results: The detection rate of comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression among college students was 16.9%, and the detection rate of social jetlag ≥2 h was 13.8%. The sleep quality showed an overall improvement trend, and the two trajectories were good sleep quality (81.6%) and poor sleep quality (18.4%). Binary Logistic regression model showed that poor sleep quality and social jetlag ≥2 h were positively correlated with comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression (OR=5.94, 1.84, P<0.05). Conclusions Poor sleep quality and social jetlag ≥2 h in college students increase the risk of comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression. Early screening and intervention of sleep quality and reduction of social jetlag are crucial for enhancing the mental health of college students.

Objective:To explore the value of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) management model in improving the quality of breast ultrasound diagnosis.Methods:From January 1 to December 31, 2021, patients undergoing breast nodule surgery in the Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology were selected for breast ultrasound Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) classification diagnosis and follow-up. Using pathological results as the gold standard, the malignant rate of different BI-RADS grade and the coincidence rate of ultrasound diagnosis of breast cancer before the first treatment were analyzed. PDCA cycle management mode was introduced to analyze, learn and sort out the quality of breast ultrasound diagnosis. The same method was used to follow up the breast ultrasound diagnosis in the ultrasound department of our hospital from January 1 to December 31, 2022. The results of two follow-up visits were compared.Results:Compared with 2021, the malignancy rates of category 3 and 4a BI-RADS diagnosed by ultrasonic diagnosis of breast nodules in hospitals in 2022 were closer to the malignancy rates recommended by the classification guidelines of BI-RADS (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the malignant rate of BI RADS 4b, 4c and 5 types of nodules (all P>0.05). In 2022, compared with 2021, the ultrasound diagnosis coincidence rate before the first treatment of breast disease increased from 90.4%(1 592/1 761) to 95.9%(1 806/1 884). Conclusions:PDCA management mode is helpful to improve the classification and diagnosis quality of breast ultrasound BI-RADS, and better assist clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA),surfactant associated 1 pseudogene(SFTA1P)in lung squamous carcinoma and its effect on the biological functions of SFTA1P in lung squamous carcinoma cell lines.Methods Based on the cancer genome atlas(TCGA)database,the differential expression of SFTA1P in tumor and normal tissues were compared in patients diagnosed with lung squamous cell carcinoma.Then,the expression of SFTA1P was detected in human normal lung epithelial cell line BEAS-2B and lung squamous cell lines SK-MES-1 and H520 with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).SK-MES-1 and H520 cells with overexpression and/or knockdown of SFTA1P were constructed by transfecting the overexpression plasmids(pcDNA3.1-SFTA1P)and small interfering RNAs(si-SFTA1P-1 and si-SFTA1P-2).CCK-8 assay and Transwell assay were used to investigate the effect of SFTA1P on biological functions in lung squamous carcinoma cells.Differential gene expression analysis,correlation analysis and functional enrichment analysis were employed to explore the potential mechanism that SFTA1P may affect biological functions of lung squamous cells.Results Analysis of TCGA showed that the expression of SFTA1P was significantly lower in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissue than adjacent normal tissue(P＜0.05).RT-PCR results showed that the expression of SFTA1P was obviously lower in lung squamous carcinoma cells than the human normal lung epithelial cells(P＜0.05).And the expression level of SFTA1P was relatively lower in the SK-MES-1 cells than the H520 cells(P＜0.05).Overexpression of SFTA1P suppressed the proliferation,migration and invasion of lung squamous carcinoma cells(P＜0.05),while its knockdown promoted these abilities(P＜0.05).Differential gene expression analysis,correlation analysis and functional enrichment analysis indicated that SFTA1P may inhibit MYC,G2m checkpoints and E2f signaling pathways in lung squamous cell carcinoma.Conclusion SFTA1P shows anti-cancer function in lung squamous cell carcinoma,and it may affect the biological functions of lung squamous cell carcinoma cells through down-regulating MYC,G2m checkpoints and E2f signaling pathways.

Objective To explore the predictive value of novel anthropometric indicators for the long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 712 patients diagnosed with AMI in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected as research subjects,and divided into an event group and a non-event group according to whether major cardiovascular adverse events(MACEs)occurred during the period of follow-up.Gensini score was used to quanti-tatively assess the degree of coronary artery stenosis.Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correla-tion between the new anthropometric indicators and Gensini score.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the ability of new anthropometric indicators to predict MACEs,and the patients were grouped according to the optimal cut-off value.Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the survival difference between the groups.Multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of MACEs.Results During a median follow-up of 27(20,39)months,a total of 125 patients developed MACEs.As compared with those in the non-event group,the patients in the event group had a higher proportion of hypertension,diabetes and abdominal obesity,higher HbA1c and FBG levels,and longer body weight and waist circumference.The LAP index,CMI index,BRI index and Gensini score were significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that LAP index,CMI index and BRI index were positively corre-lated with Gensini score(r=0.233,0.126,0.272,P<0.001).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of LAP index,CMI index,VAI index,BRI index and ABSI index were 0.745,0.640,0.490,0.874 and 0.506 respec-tively;Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that the cumulative incidence of MACEs in LAP index,CMI index and BRI index was significantly increased in the high-value group(Log-rank test,P＜0.05).The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis after adjusting confounding showed that CMI index(HR=1.430,95%CI:1.049～1.952,P=0.024)and BRI index(HR=1.332,95%CI:1.234～1.439,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for MACEs.Conclusions CMI index and BRI index of new anthropometric indicators are independent risk factors for long-term prognosis in patients with AMI.
