ObjectiveThe differential expression of microRNAs （miRNAs） between the active stage and the remission stage of ulcerative colitis （UC） was analyzed by bioinformatics method， and the regulatory relationship was constructed by screening the differentially expressed genes （DEGs）. The mechanism of Xizhuo Jiedu recipe in the treatment of UC was speculated and verified by animal experiments. MethodThe miRNAs data set of colonic mucosa tissue of UC patients was obtained from the gene expression database （GEO）， and the most differentially expressed miRNAs were screened by GEO2R， Excel， and other tools as research objects. TargetScan， miRTarbase， miRDB， STRING， TRRUST， and Matescape databases were used to screen key DEGs， predict downstream transcription factors （TFs）， gene ontology （GO）， and conduct Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） enrichment analysis. The key signaling pathways were selected for animal experiments. In animal experiments， the UC mouse model was prepared by making the mouse freely drink 2.5% dextran sodium sulfate （DSS）. Xiezhu Jiedu recipe and mesalazine were given by gavage for seven days， and the inflammatory infiltration of colonic mucosa was observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of miR-155-5p in colon tissue. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression levels of cytokine signal transduction inhibitor （SOCS1）， phosphorylated transcriptional signal transductor and activator 3 （p-STAT3）， phosphorylated Janus kinase 2 （p-JAK2）， and retinoic acid-associated orphan receptor-γt （ROR-γt）. The expression levels of transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）， interleukin-17 （IL-17）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-10 （IL-10） in serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultThe GSE48957 dataset was screened from the GEO database， and miR-155-5p was selected as the research object from the samples in the active and remission stages. 131 DEGs were screened. The GO/KEGG enrichment analysis was closely related to biological processes such as positive regulation of miRNA transcription and protein phosphorylation， as well as signaling pathways such as stem cell signaling pathway， IL-17 signaling pathway， and helper T cell 17 （Th17） cell differentiation. The Matescape database was used to screen out 10 key DEGs， among which SOCS1 was one of the key DEGs of miR-155-5p. Further screening of the TFS of key DEGs revealed that STAT3 was one of the main TFs of SOCS1. The results of animal experiments showed that Xiezhu Jiedu Recipe could effectively down-regulate the mRNA expression of miR-155-5p and protein expression of p-STAT3， p-JAK2， and ROR-γt in colon tissue of UC mice and the expression of IL-17 and IL-6 in serum of UC mice， up-regulate the protein expression of SOCS1 and the expression of TGF-β and IL-10， increase the level of anti-inflammatory factors， and reduce inflammatory cell infiltration. ConclusionIt is speculated that Xizhuo Jiedu recipe may interfere with SOCS1 by regulating the expression of miR-155-5p in UC mice， inhibit the phosphorylation of STAT3， inhibit the differentiation of CD4⁺ T cells into Th17 cells， reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory factors （IL-17 and IL-6）， and increase the levels of anti-inflammatory factors （TGF-β and IL-10）. As a result， the inflammation of colon mucosa in UC mice was alleviated.

Cancer genomics has led to the discovery of numerous oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that play critical roles in cancer development and progression.Oncogenes promote cell growth and proliferation,whereas tumor suppressor genes inhibit cell growth and division.The dysregulation of these genes can lead to the development of cancer.Recent studies have focused on non-coding RNAs(ncRNAs),including circular RNA(circRNA),long non-coding RNA(lncRNA),and microRNA(miRNA),as therapeutic targets for cancer.In this article,we discuss the oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes of ncRNAs associated with different types of cancer and their potential as therapeutic targets.Here,we highlight the mechanisms of action of these genes and their clinical applications in cancer treatment.Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and identifying specific therapeutic targets are essential steps towards the development of effective cancer treatments.

Objective: To investigate the associations between early life exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ) and the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among school aged children. Methods: A total of 165 children with ASD and 165 age and gender matched typical development (TD) children were recruited. Children s basic information were obtained via questionnaires, and the severity of ASD symptoms was assessed with Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Early life PM 2.5 exposure (preconception, entire pregnancy, and the first two years after birth) were extracted from the Tracking Air Pollution in China (TAP) datasets. Conditional Logistic regression and generalized linear model were used to evaluate the associations of early life exposure to PM 2.5 with the risk and the ASD severity symptoms, respectively. Results: The PM 2.5 exposure of ASD group during preconception[(55.08±9.34)μg/m 3], entire pregnancy[(50.44±8.71)μg/m 3], the first year after birth [(45.04± 8.25 )μg/m 3] and the second year after birth [(40.19±7.12)μg/m 3] were significant higher than those in TD children [(47.66± 7.63 , 44.19±7.16, 38.95±6.07, 35.76±5.65)μg/m 3]( t =7.94, 7.13, 7.70, 6.32, P <0.05). After adjusting for potential confounding, each increase of 1 μg/m 3 in PM 2.5 was associated with higher risk of ASD during preconception ( OR=1.21, 95%CI =1.13-1.29), entire pregnancy( OR=1.18, 95%CI =1.11-1.26), the first year after birth ( OR=1.30, 95%CI =1.18-1.43) and the second year after birth ( OR=1.29, 95%CI =1.17-1.42). No similar results were observed regarding the analyses of SRS total and sub scale scores( P >0.05). Conclusion Early life exposure to PM 2.5 is relate to the risk of ASD, these findings indicated that more attention should be paid to ambient PM pollution in the early life prevention and control of ASD.

Objective To compare the sedative efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and sufen-tanil combined with propofol in elderly patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP).Methods Sixty elderly patients from July to October 2022,aged 65-90 years,BMI 15-33 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ,had normal cardiac function or NHYA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,underwent ERCP were enrolled.Patients were divided into two groups by random number table method:the dexmedeto-midine group(group D)and the sufentanil group(group S),30 patients in each group.Group D received an intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg for 10 minutes followed by intravenous propofol 1 mg/kg for sedation induction.Group S received intravenous sufentanil 0.12 μg/kg followed by intravenous propofol 1 mg/kg for sedation induction.The operation time,total dosage of propofol,incidence of body movement were recorded.The lowest SpO2,use of airway interventions,incidence of hypoxemia were recor-ded.Adverse cardiovascular events(tachycardia,bradycardia,hypertension,hypotension,and arrhythmia)were recorded.Awakening time,VAS pain scores at rest 15 minutes after entering PACU,incidence of mod-erate to severe postoperative pain,and postoperative nausea and vomiting in PACU were recorded.Results Adequate deep sedation was successfully achieved in the two groups(Ramsay scale≥5 scores).Compared with group S,the lowest SpO2 and bradycardia were significantly increased(P＜0.05),the use of airway interventions,hypoxemia,tachycardia,and hypotension were significantly decreased in group D(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in operation time,total dosage of propofol,incidence of body movement,hypertension,VAS pain scores at rest 15 minutes after entering PACU,moderate to severe post-operative pain,and postoperative nausea and vomiting in PACU between the two groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine or sufentanil combined with propofol can provide adequate deep sedation for ERCP proce-dure.Dexmedetomidine combined with propofol can keep intraoperative cardiovascular function more stable,and reduce the occurrence of intraoperative hypoxemia and cardiovascular adverse events.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the iliac cortical density line and pelvic tilt (PT) in X-ray films of patients with kyphosis.Methods:The imaging data of 67 patients with kyphosis treated in Tianjin Beichen Hopsital from August 2016 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. PT and iliac tilt (IT) were measured on lateral X-ray of the spine. IT was defined as the angle between the density line of the iliac cortex and vertical direction. The correlation between PT and IT was analyzed, and a linear regression model was established.Results:PT and IT can be determined by X-ray lateral films of spine in 67 patients. Pearson correlation analysis results showed that PT was significantly correlated with IT( r=0.852, P<0.05). Subgroups analysis was conducted by gender. The linear regression formulas for females and males were PT=IT-12.9° and PT=IT-16.7°, respectively. Conclusions:When it is difficult to identify the femoral head on X-ray film, IT can be measured conveniently and directly through the density line of the iliac cortex, and then PT can be reliably evaluated through IT.

Objective:To evaluate the prognosis and determine the failure patterns after radiotherapy for low-risk early-stage patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal-type (ENKTCL).Methods:A total of 557 patients from 2000—2015 with low-risk early-stage ENKTCL who received radiotherapy (RT) with or without chemotherapy (CT) from China Lymphoma Collaborative Group were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 427 patients received combined modality therapy, whereas 130 patients received RT alone. Survivals were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared with Log-rank test. Overall survival (OS) was compared with age and sex-matched general Chinese population using expected survival and standardized mortality ratio (SMR). Cox stepwise regression model was used for multivariate analysis.Results:The 5-year OS and progression-free survival (PFS) were 87.2% and 77.2%. The SMR was 3.59 ( P<0.001) at 1 year after treatment, whereas it was 1.50 at 4 years after treatment, without significant difference between ENKTCL group and country-matched general population ( P=0.146). Compared with RT alone, CMT did not result in significantly superior 5-year OS (87.0% vs 87.4%, P=0.961) or PFS (76.1% vs 80.7%, P=0.129). Local failure (11.5%, 64/557) and distant failure (10.8%, 60/557) were the main failure modes, while regional failure was rare (2.9%, 16/557). The 5-year locoregional control rate (LRC) was 87.2% for the whole group, with 89.5% for ≥50 Gy versus 73.7% for <50 Gy ( P<0.001). Radiotherapy dose was an independent factor affecting LRC( P<0.05). Conclusions:Radiotherapy achieves a favorable prognosis in patients with low-risk early-stage ENKTCL. The incidence of either locoregional or distant failure is low. Radiation dose still is an important prognostic factor for LRC.

Objective:To study the changes of urinary metabolic profile, screen metabolic ions characterization with clinical diagnostic value, and a disease differentiation model establishment, in an attempt to help the clinical diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients.Methods:A case-control study was conducted. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) were used to analyze urine samples of 32 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, 28 patients with liver cirrhosis and 28 healthy persons, respectively. The orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and the principal component analysis (PCA) model were constructed using MZmine2.0 and SIMCA-P + 12.0.1.0 software for preliminary screening of metabolites. The metabolic ions selected in the final test were analyzed by SPSS, and the markers were analyzed and screened by one-way analysis of variance. Finally, the sensitivity and specificity of the selected markers were analyzed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare quantitative indicators between groups.Results:OPLS-DA model parameters were R2X = 35.3%, R2Y = 86.9%, and Q2 = 72.2%, which had a good identification value. A total of 26 characteristic ions were screened, of which 17 were identified. 14, 19-Dihydroaspidospermatine had a high value in distinguishing healthy person with hepatocellular carcinoma patients, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was higher than 0.9. The area under the ROC curve for distinguishing liver cancer with liver cirrhosis patients was 0.88, which was higher than the ROC curve of alpha-fetoprotein (0.75).Conclusion:Based on the UPLC-MS platform, the PCA and OPLS-DA models were successfully constructed, and the characteristic metabolic ions in the urine were extracted and identified, which has a certain value in assisting clinical screening of hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
