Objective To investigate the role of miR-27a-3p in sevoflurane-induced neurocognitive dysfunction.Methods Bioinformatics prediction and validation:Predicted the target genes of miR-27a-3p using bioinformatics databases,and verified the interaction between miR-27a-3p and target genes using dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot.Cell experiments:Cells were divided into two groups,the miR-27a-3p interference control(Sevo+NC)group was transfected with miR-27a-3p interference control plasmid,and the miR-27a-3p interference treatment(Sevo+anti-miR-27a-3p)group was transfected with miR-27a-3p interference plasmid.Before transfection,the plasmids were treated with 4%sevoflurane for 6 h.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of tau and phosphorylaed tau(p-tau)in SY5Y cells of each group.Animal experiments:Mice were randomly divided into control group(no treatment),sevoflurane group(treated with 4%sevoflurane only),miR-27a-3p interference control group(Sevo+NC,injected with miR-27a-3p interference control plasmid after 4%sevoflurane treatment)and miR-27a-3p interference treatment group(Sevo+anti-miR-27-3p,injected with miR-27a-3p interference plasmid after 4%sevoflurane treatment).The neurocognitive abilities of mice were tested using the water maze experiment,and the level of tau phosphorylation in the hippocampal tissue of mice was detected by immunofluorescence.Results Bioinformatics prediction and validation:Bioinformatics prediction suggested that presenilin 1(PSEN1)might be a target gene of miR-27 a-3p.Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot showed that miR-27 a-3p interacted with PSEN1.Cell experiments:The levels of p-tau in Sevo+NC group and Sevo+anti-miR27-3p group were 0.69±0.08 and 0.21±0.05,respectively.Animal experiments:The escape latency times of the control group,sevoflurane group,Sevo+NC group and Sevo+anti-miR-27-3p group were(27.54±3.67),(52.38±6.12),(55.16±5.79)and(38.46±4.78)s,respectively;the results of the novel object exploration index were 0.78±0.11,0.31±0.07,0.33±0.06,and 0.57±0.08,respectively.Immunofluorescence detection showed a significant decrease in p-tau levels in the hippocampal tissue of mice(P<0.05).Conclusion miR-27 a-3p regulates the p-tau protein by targeting the PSEN1 gene,and interfering with miR-27 a-3p can alleviate sevoflurane-induced neurocognitive dysfunction in mice.

Abstract:Objective To improve the replication level of varicella⁃zoster virus(VZV)in human diploid cell line MRC⁃5
and increase the yield of VZV vaccine by reducing the expression of interferon(IFN)related genes via optimizing the cell
line MRC⁃5. Methods Interferon receptor 1(IFNAR1)silenced MRC⁃5 cell line(MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃)was constructed by
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology,which was determined for the relative expression of IFNAR1 mRNA,and for those
of mRNA of IFN related genes IFNβ and OAS1 after VZV infection by qRT⁃PCR to evaluate the effect of gene silencing.
Gene mutation sequences were further identified by sequencing of the silenced sites. The replication of VZV in MRC⁃5 and
MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃ cell lines was compared 168 h after VZV infection by using qRT⁃PCR and plaque formation unit(PFU)assay,
to evaluate the effect of MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃cell line on VZV replication. Results The growth status of MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃ cell line wasconsistent with that of MRC ⁃ 5 cells,and the relative expression of IFNAR1 mRNA decreased by 73%;The relative
expressions of IFNβ and OAS1 mRNA in MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃ cell line were 61% and 90% lower than those in MRC⁃ 5 cells
respectively after VZV infection;In addition,168 h after VZV infection,the level of DNA replication and the titer of VZV
increased by 5. 7 folds and 4 folds respectively. Conclusion The successful establishment of MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃ cell line may be a
potential scheme to increase the yield of vaccines based on human diploid cells,and provided a reference for expanding
production of VZV vaccine.

Objective: To evaluate different methods' efficacy of controlling acute bleeding and managing long-term menstruation in patients with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) associated with antithrombotic therapy. Methods: The clinical data of 22 cases with HMB associated with antithrombotic therapy admitted to Peking University People's Hospital from January 2010 to August 2022 were analyzed, aged 39 years old (26-46 years). Changes in menstrual volume, hemoglobin (Hb), and quality of life were collected after control of acute bleeding and long-term menstrual management. Menstrual volume was assessed by pictorial blood assessment chart (PBAC), and quality of life was assessed by menorrhagia multi-attribute scale (MMAS). Results: (1) Treatment of acute bleeding: of the 22 cases with HMB associated with antithrombotic therapy, 16 cases were treated in our hospital and 6 in other hospital for emergency bleeding; of the 16 cases treated in our hospital, 3 underwent emergency intrauterine Foley catheter balloon compression due to severe bleeding (Hb decreased by 20 to 40 g/L within 12 hours). Of the 22 cases with antithrombotic therapy-related HMB, 15 (including 2 cases with severe bleeding) underwent emergency aspiration or endometrial resection, and intraoperative placement of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) followed by a significant reduction in bleeding volume; 3 cases had controlled acute bleeding after rivaroxaban dose reduction and continued observation; 2 cases were given gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists to control acute bleeding in other hospital, of which 1 case was temporarily treated with periodic blood transfusion, and the other one patient underwent total hysterectomy; and 2 cases had temporary amenorrhea with oral mifepristone after intrauterine balloon compression or oral norethindrone. (2) Long-term menstrual management: of the 22 cases with antithrombotic therapy-related HMB, 15 had LNG-IUS placement and 12 had LNG-IUS placement for 6 months, and menstrual volume was significantly reduced [PBAC scores were 365.0 (272.5-460.0) vs 25.0 (12.5-37.5), respectively; Z=4.593, P<0.001], Hb was significantly increased [91.5 g/L (71.8-108.2 g/L) vs 128.5 g/L (121.2-142.5 g/L); Z=4.695, P<0.001], and quality of life was significantly improved [MMAS scores were 415.0 (327.5-472.5) vs 580.0 (570.0-580.0), respectively; Z=-3.062, P=0.002] before placement compared with 6 months after placement. Three rivaroxaban dose reduction patients' PBAC scores decreased by 20 to 35 but remained >100, and perceived quality of life did not change significantly. Two cases with temporary amenorrhea treated with oral mifepristone felt significantly improved quality of life, and the MMAS scores increased by 220 and 180, respectively. Conclusion: Intrauterine Foley catheter balloon compression, aspiration or endometrial ablation could be used to control acute bleeding in patients with antithrombotic therapy-related HMB, and LNG-IUS for long-term management could reduce menstrual volume, increase hemoglobin, and improve the quality of life of patients.

Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.
