RESUMEN
AIM:To investigate the role and molecular mechanism of long noncoding RNA LINC00987 in the apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)cells induced by antitumor drugs.METHODS:The LINC00987 expression in AML was detected by RT-qPCR.The Molm13 cells with stable knockdown of LINC00987 gene(shLINC00987)were constructed,and the effect of low LINC00987 expression on the apoptosis of AML cells induced by cytarabine was detected by annexin V/PI staining.Signaling pathway enrichment of LINC00987-coexpressed genes was performed to analyze the ef-fect of LINC00987 expression on cytochrome family genes.RESULTS:Compared with healthy individual group,the ex-pression of LINC00987 was significantly down-regulated in AML cell lines and patients,but highly up-regulated in the complete remission group after anti-AML treatment.In addition,low LINC00987 expression was associated with poor prog-nosis among the patients with AML.The LINC00987 expression in AML cell lines Molm13 and MV411 was significantly induced by antitumor drugs such as cytarabine,doxorubicin,arsenic trioxide,and venetoclax.Meanwhile,LINC00987 down-regulation could inhibit the apoptosis of Molm13 cells induced by cytarabine.The LINC00987-coexpressed genes were enriched in cytochrome P450(CYP450)-mediated oxidative stress pathways,and the LINC00987 expression was positively correlated with the expression of CYP450 family genes CYP11B1,CYP2U1 and CYP2C9.Down-regulation of LINC00987 could inhibit the mRNA expression of CYP11B1,CYP2U1 and CYP2C9 induced by cytarabine.CONCLU-SION:Long noncoding RNA LINC00987 can be used as a prognostic marker for AML and may promote cytarabine-in-duced AML cell apoptosis through CYP450-mediated oxidative stress pathways.

RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine combined with chloroprocaine on epidural anesthesia for cesarean section.Methods:A total of 133 women who underwent epidural anesthesia for cesarean section at the Department of Anesthesiology, Jinhua People's Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022 were included in this prospective case-control study. These women were divided into a ropivacaine group ( n = 66) and a chloroprocaine group ( n = 67) using a random number table method. The ropivacaine group received epidural anesthesia with dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine, while the chloroprocaine group received epidural anesthesia with dexmedetomidine combined with chloroprocaine. The anesthesia effect (anesthesia onset time, anesthesia duration, peak effect time), changes in blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure), adverse reactions (shivering, nausea and vomiting, urinary retention, skin itching, numbness of lower limbs), and satisfaction with muscle relaxation were observed in the two groups. Results:The anesthesia onset time, anesthesia duration, and peak effect time in the chloroprocaine group were (6.91 ± 1.54) minutes, (61.54 ± 5.31) minutes, and (11.79 ± 4.12) minutes, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the ropivacaine group [(9.65 ± 1.92) minutes, (83.57 ± 6.69) minutes, (18.32 ± 4.81) minutes, t = 9.08, 21.05, 8.41, all P < 0.001). The systolic and diastolic blood pressure increased in both groups after 10 minutes of anesthesia and at the end of the procedure; however, the increments observed in the chloroprocaine group were relatively smaller. There were significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, measured at 10 minutes of anesthesia and at the end of the procedure, between the two groups ( F = 7.36, P < 0.001; F = 5.12, P = 0.001). There were significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between different time points ( F = 10.03, P < 0.001; F = 6.72, P < 0.001). The group-by-time interaction effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure was also highly significant ( F = 9.83, P < 0.001; F = 8.01, P < 0.001). The chloroprocaine group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions compared with the ropivacaine group [4.48% (3/67) vs. 15.15% (10/66), χ2 = 4.29, P < 0.05). Additionally, the chloroprocaine group had a significantly higher satisfaction rate with muscle relaxation compared with the ropivacaine group [94.03% (63/66) vs. 81.82% (54/66), Z = 5.73, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:The combination of dexmedetomidine and chloroprocaine offers remarkable benefits in epidural anesthesia for cesarean sections. This combined approach not only enhances epidural anesthesia but also stabilizes the blood pressure of puerperants, reduces adverse reactions, and provides exceptional muscle relaxation. It deserves consideration for clinical application.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the mechanism that Rubescensine A reduces the podocyte damage induced by high glucose(HG)through the autophagy pathway mediated by AMP activated protein kinase/silent information regulator 1(AMPK/SIRT1)pathway.Methods Human glomerular podocytes were cultured in vitro,and randomly divided into Control group(Con),HG group,hydroxychloroquine(HCQ)group,and Rapamycin(RAP)group.CCK-8 was used to detect cell viability.Western blotting was used to detect cell apoptosis and podocyte injury related protein expression in each group.The podocyte model induced by high glucose(HG)was treated with Rubescensine A(Rub A)at different concentrations and the optimal concentration was selected.Then,human glomerular podocytes were randomly divided into Con group,HG group,Rub A group,Compound C group,and Rub A+Compound C group.The expression of autophagy,AMPK/SIRT1 pathway related proteins were detected in each group.Results Compared with Con group,the podocyte viability and the protein expressions of Synaptopodin and Bcl-2 was significantly reduced(P<0.05),while the protein expressions of Desmin and Bax were significantly increased in HG group(P<0.05).Compared with the HG group,all indicators were relieved in RAP group.However,the levels of all indicators were worsened in HCQ group.Compared with Con group,the expression levels of Desminand Bax proteins in podocytes were significantly increased(P<0.05),and the podocyte viability,number of autophagosomes,the expression levels of Synaptopodin,Bcl-2,microtubule associated protein light chain 3(LC3)II/I,Beclin-1,p-AMPK/AMPK and SIRT1 proteins were significantly reduced in HG group(P<0.05).Compared with HG group and Rub A+Compound C group,the above indicators were improved in Rub A group.Compound C group reversed the protective effect of Rub A.Conclusion Rubescensine A can promote autophagy by activating AMPK/SIRT1 pathway,thereby reduce podocyte damage induced by high glucose.
RESUMEN
Objectives:To finely divide the aortic sinus into sections and accurately localize the coronary ostium through CARTO three-dimensional mapping,and to assess the clinical effects of treating aortic sinus cusps premature ventricular contraction(ASC-PVC)and the ablation risk in the corresponding area with zero X-ray radiofrequency ablation. Methods:A total of 66 patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation for ASC-PVC from January 2020 to January 2023 were included in this analysis,patients were divided into experimental group(n=34)and conventional group(n=32).In the conventional group,the CARTO 3 system was used to create an aortic sinus model through the conventional method.The earliest stimulating target was identified by using electrical stimulation mapping(ESM).Radiofrequency ablation treatment was performed after the distance between the target and the coronary ostium was precisely measured by coronary angiography through the hollow tube of the ablation catheter or coronary angiography tube.In the experimental group,the CARTO 3 system was used to build a model of the aortic sinus and the coronary ostium and aortic sinus were divided into sections.The earliest stimulating target was identified by ESM.After localizing coronary ostium through the impedance changing pattern on the ablation catheter tips,catheter ablation was performed with zero X-ray.The data regarding the impedance of the ablation catheter in the aortic sinus were collected.The total operative time,the operative time in the aortic sinus,contrast dosage,X-ray exposure time,immediate and short-term success rates of the operation and complication rates were compared between the two groups.Besides,the distribution of successfully ablated targets and their relationship with the risk of ablation were analyzed in both groups. Results:There was no significant statistical difference in the immediate and short-term success rates between the two groups(93.8%vs.94.1%;90.6%vs.88.2%,both P>0.05).The experimental group did not receive contrast agents during the operation,and the total operation time and intra-aortic sinus operation time in the experimental group were significantly shorter than those in the conventional group([58.76±4.94]min vs.[66.91±5.94]min,P<0.001;[43.12±4.49]min vs.[50.31±5.18]min,P<0.001).During the process of moving the ablation catheter from the intra-aortic sinus to the coronary artery opening and into the coronary artery,the impedance suddenly increased,which was significantly different from the impedance in other parts of the intra-aortic sinus(all P<0.001). Conclusions:Radiofrequency ablation of ASC-PVC with zero X-ray can simplify the procedures and shorten the operative time.The steep increase in impedance at the tip of the ablation catheter can be used as a basis for localizing the coronary ostium.Dividing the aortic sinus into sections allows a detailed assessment of the risk for ablation treatment at the targets.

Objective:To optimize the preventive maintenance path of electric medical equipment by adopting multi-criteria decision analysis(MCDA),and to verify its optimization effect.Methods:The preventive maintenance paths for electric medical equipment were determined through literature research and management group discussions.An expert meeting was organized to discuss,determine,and demonstrate the preventive maintenance path evaluation criteria,and the weight of the criteria was set.Each preventive maintenance path was scored by experts based on criteria,the score of each maintenance path was calculated using the mean and sorted to form the optimal path.767 electric medical equipment of 7 categories in clinical use in the 960th Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistics Support Force from 2021 to 2022 were selected,conventional preventive maintenance management(referred to as conventional management mode)and preventive maintenance path management optimized by MCDA method(referred to as MCDA management mode)were adopted respectively according to different management modes.The changes in indicators such as failure rate,maintenance time,quality inspection pass rate and maintenance cost of electric medical equipment were compared between the two management models.Results:The failure occurrence rate of electric medical equipment of the MCDA management mode was 8.71%(67/767),which was lower than that of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(x2=3.960,P<0.05).The equipment maintenance time of the MCDA management mode was(2.24±1.17)days,which was lower than that of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(t=2.360,P<0.05).The quality inspection qualification rate of the MCDA management model was(96.57±2.74)%,which was higher than that of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(t=4.342,P<0.05).The average maintenance cost of equipment of the MCDA management model accounted for 2.37%of its assets,which was lower than that of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(x2=4.261,P<0.05).Conclusion:The MCDA method can provide a quantitative structural model for the optimization of preventive maintenance paths for electric medical equipment,and the optimized preventive maintenance paths can achieve efficient management of electric medical equipment,and focusing on the training of maintenance personnel's technical level can increase the self-repair rate and reduce the failure rate of medical equipment.
RESUMEN
Acute myeloid leukemia(AML)is a heterogeneous myeloid malignancy.Currently,chemotherapy combined with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the primary treatment option;however,over-all prognosis remains poor.Gemtuzumab ozogamicin(GO)is a hu-manized CD33 monoclonal antibody conjugated with calicheamicins.It is primarily used to treat CD33-positive AML.Although studies have found that GO can improve the prognosis of patients with CD33-positive AML,some patients with AML do not benefit from it.Recent stud-ies have found that the effect of GO on AML is primarily associated with the expression of CD33 and its single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP),ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1(ABCB1)gene and SNP,as well as specific molecular biology and cytogenetics.This paper reviews the research progress on the factors influencing efficacy of GO for treating AML.
RESUMEN
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the optimal index of rotational displacement of femoral neck fractures by modeling the axial rotational displacement of femoral neck fractures after reduction and based on X-ray projections.Methods:Six dry human femur specimens, comprising 2 males and 4 females, were utilized in the study. Design and manufacture a proximal femur ortholateral and oblique X-ray casting jigs and mounts. The femoral neck fracture was modeled on the femoral specimen, with Pauwells 30°, 50°, and 70° models (2 each) made according to Pauwells typing. The fractures were manually repositioned with residual anterior 20°, 40° and 60° axial rotational displacements. Each fracture model was projected at different angles (pedicled 40°, pedicled 20°, vertical 0°, cephalad 20°, and cephalad 40°), and the trabecular angle and Garden's alignment index of the model were measured to observe the imaging characteristics of the fracture line on the medial oblique and lateral oblique radiographs.Results:In the presence of a 20° and 40° anterior rotational displacement following reduction of a femoral neck fracture, the trabecular angle in the rotationally displaced group was not significantly different from that of the anatomically repositioned group in various projection positions. However, when a residual rotational displacement of 60° was present, the trabeculae appeared blurred at most projection angles in the Pauwells 30° and 50° models, failing to measure trabecular angles. In the Pauwells 70° fracture model, the trabecular angle in the rotational displacement group was significantly different from that in the anatomical reduction group. In anteroposterior radiographs, when the anterior rotation displacement was 60° in the Pauwells 70° group, Garden's contralateral index showed an unsatisfactory restoration (150°, 142°), whereas all rotationally displaced models in the Pauwells 30° and Pauwells 50° groups had a Garden's contralateral index of >155°, which achieved an acceptable restoration. In lateral radiographs, all rotational displacement models with Garden's alignment index>180° failed to achieve acceptable repositioning, and the larger the Pauwells angle the greater the Garden's alignment index at the same rotational displacement. In the internal oblique position with a bias towards the foot side, the image showed partial overlap between the femoral head and the shaft, making it difficult to assess the quality of the reduction. Conversely, when projected cephalad, the femoral neck appeared longer, particularly at a projection angle of 40° cephalad, allowing for clear observation of the fracture line and the anatomy of the proximal femur. The trabeculae were not well visualized in the external oblique position.Conclusion:There are limitations in applying the trabecular angle to assess the axial rotational displacement of the femoral head after reduction of femoral neck fractures. The Pauwells 70° with residual rotational anterior displacement of 60° was the only way to detect axial rotational displacement of the femoral head on anteroposterior radiographs Garden's alignment index. For the determination of axial rotational displacement of the femoral head, the Garden's alignment index on lateral radiographs provides higher reliability.

RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of early thyroid function changes on the efficacy of patients with Graves′ disease (GD) after 131I therapy. Methods:Data of patients with GD (59 males, 214 females; age (37.4±11.4) years) who underwent single therapy of 131I in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from November 2017 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Symptoms, signs and laboratory tests (serum free triiodothyronine (FT 3) and serum free thyroxine (FT 4)) of patients were observed to assess the efficacy of 131I treatment. Efficacy was divided into complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), non-remission (NR) or relapse. The changes of thyroid function (ΔFT 3=FT 3 before treatment-FT 3 after treatment)/FT 3 before treatment×100%; ΔFT 4=FT 4 before treatment-FT 4 after treatment)/FT 4 before treatment×100%) 1 month after 131I therapy in each efficacy group and differences among them were compared by using independent-sample t test, χ2 test, one-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference t test. ROC curves were drawn to analyze the predictive values of early thyroid function changes on the efficacy of 131I treatment for GD. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the influencing factors for the efficacy of 131I therapy. Results:CR rate and total effective rate of 273 GD patients after single therapy of 131I were 67.03%(183/273) and 92.67%(253/273), respectively. After 1 month, CR rate of euthyroidism group ( n=95) was significantly higher than that of hyperthyroidism group ( n=178; 81.05%(77/95) vs 59.55%(106/178); χ2=4.60, P=0.032). ΔFT 3 and ΔFT 4 at the first month were statistically significant and decreased sequentially in the CR group ( n=183), PR group ( n=70), NR or relapse groups ( n=20; F values: 15.40, 12.54, both P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that patients with ΔFT 3≥73.64% and (or) ΔFT 4≥59.03% had a higher probability of achieving CR, with sensitivities of 84.3% and 86.7%, and specificities of 62.6% and 62.6%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that 24 h radioactive iodine uptake (odds ratio ( OR)=1.095, 95% CI: 1.031-1.139), dose of 131I given per gram of thyroid tissue ( OR=1.562, 95% CI: 1.321-1.694), ΔFT 3 ( OR=1.354, 95% CI: 1.295-1.482), ΔFT 4 ( OR=1.498, 95% CI: 1.384-1.608) were factors affecting the outcome of patients with GD treated with 131I treatment (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Effects of 131I treatment can be predicted based on the change of the thyroid function at the first month after 131I treatment in patients with GD.

Examining mechanisms involved in the mutual regulation between the muscular system and the skeletal system, elucidating the key issues responsible for loss of muscle and bone mass and strength, and thus halting the progression of these conditions are critical measures for reducing fractures caused by falls and subsequent disability and mortality.At present, most studies have treated the muscular system and the skeletal system separately, often ignoring the mutual regulation and connections between them.This article reviews the current research progress on the mechanisms of interaction between the two systems, aiming to provide a basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disuse-related diseases in the elderly population.
RESUMEN
AIM To establish a GC-MS method for the simultaneous content determination of sixteen pesticide residues in Lycii Fructus and perform safety assessment.METHODS The analysis was performed on DB-5MS chromatographic column(30 m×0.25 mm,0.25 μm)subjected to the programmed heating,with splitless injection of 1.0 μL dissolved sample at a flowing rate of 1.0 mL/min.Other parameters were as follows:injection port temperature of 250℃,electron impact ionization(EI),electron energy of 70 eV;ion source temperature of 230℃,multi-reaction monitoring mode,and collision gas.of high-purity N2.Pesticide residues with relatively high dietary risk were analyzed and discussed with regard to residue levels,dietary intake risk,risk ranking and cumulative exposure assessment.RESULTS Sixteen pesticides showed good linear relationships within their own ranges(r≥0.994 4),whose average recoveries were 70%-114%,with the RSDs of less than 2%.The highest average cyfluthrin residue of 0.999 2 mg/kg in Lycii Fructus of production regions and the highest average cypermethrin residue of 0.088 4 mg/kg in Lycii Fructus commodities were both detected.In Lycii Fructus of production regions with chronic hazard index(HI)value of 0.012 9 and acute HI value of 0.065 5 and their commodities with chronic HI of 0.001 2 and acute HI of 0.005 4,the pesticide residue of cypermethrin was the leading cause of chronic and acute dietary risk,and additionally,pyridaben within maximum residue limit(MRL)was the only detectectable highly toxic pesticide among the other most concerning pestcides of deltamethrin,pyridaben,chlorpyrifos,dichlorvos and methidathion.CONCLUSION There exist pesticide residues within MRL values in some samples of Lycii Fructus and the use of cypermethrin should be well-controlled.
