RESUMEN
Ischemia and hypoxia cause functional damage to brain tissues during stroke， and when blood supply is restored to brain tissues after ischemia， a large number of free radicals and calcium overload cause cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury， which further aggravates the condition. Autophagy is a self-protection mechanism that maintains the homeostasis of the intracellular environment， but excessive autophagy causes brain tissue damage. MiRNA is a small endogenous non-coding RNA molecule that regulate various physiological activities at the gene level by binding to complementary sequences in the 3 '- UTR of its target gene mRNA， leading to translation inhibition or mRNA degradation. MiRNA not only directly acts on autophagy related proteins， but also participates in autophagy regulation induced by ischemia/reperfusion through various signaling pathways. However， there is still a lack of systematic induction and analysis of miRNA regulation of autophagy signaling pathways induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. This article reviews the regulation of cellular autophagy during cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion by miRNA-124， miRNA-298， miRNA-202-5p， miRNA-142， miRNA-26b and so on through different signaling pathways， providing a systematic and theoretical approach for the study of autophagy in stroke.

Objective:To investigate the effects of temozolomide combined with γ-fractional stereotactic radiotherapy on the expression of S100B and exosomal microRNA-330(miR-330) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases.Methods:A total of 82 patients with NSCLC brain metastases from February 2018 to October 2020 were selected prospectively, and they were divided into the control group and the observation group by the random number table method, each with 41 patients. The control group received γ-fractional stereotactic radiotherapy, and the observation group received temozolomide on the basis of the control group. The therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of the two groups were compared, and the levels of serum myelin basic protein (MBP), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels, liver and kidney function indexes, serum S100B, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), exosomal miR-330 were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment. The neurologic function of the patients were evaluated by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and National Institutes Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).Results:The total remission rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group: 65.85%(27/41) vs. 34.15%(14/41), there was statistical differences ( χ2 = 8.24, P<0.05), but the disease control rate between the two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). After the treatment, the levels of serum MBP, GFAP and NSE in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (10.13 ± 2.07) μg/L vs. (14.39 ± 2.58) μg/L, (0.57 ± 0.12) μg/L vs. (0.75 ± 0.16) μg/L, (5.09 ± 1.16) μg/L vs. (7.17 ± 1.35) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The levels alanine aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine after treatment between the two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). After the treatment, the NIHSS scores in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, MMSE scores was higher than that in the control group: (4.16 ± 0.52) scores vs. (4.73 ± 0.44) scores, (22.07 ± 2.51) scores vs. (20.68 ± 2.19) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of S100B and CEA in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the expression of exosomal miR-330 was higher than that in the control group: (62.37 ± 10.54) mg/L vs. (68.05 ± 9.39) mg/L, (12.61 ± 2.05) μg/L vs.(14.08 ± 1.97) μg/L, 0.49 ± 0.12 vs. 0.42 ± 0.05, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The median survival time in the observation group was 14.6 months, while that in the control group was 11.50 months. There were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Treatment with temozolomide combined with γ-fractional stereotactic radiotherapy for NSCLC patients with brain metastases can improve the therapeutic efficacy, neurological function, inhibit the expression of serum S100B, CEA and exosomal miR-330, and prolong the survival time of patients.
RESUMEN

SD rats were divided into sham-operated group and SCI group of 30 rats each, and Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score were performed at different postoperative time points (1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 d), and the relative expression of miR-211-5p and Eph/ephrin B2 mRNA was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR); the SCI rats were divided into recombinant lentiviral vector LV-miR-211-5p group (group A), empty lentiviral vector LV-eGFP (group B) and saline group (group C), with 15 rats in each group, respectively. The recombinant lentiviral vector, empty lentiviral vector and saline were injected on the cephalic and caudal sides of the spinal cord injury, and the relative expression of miR-211-5p and Eph/ephrin B2 mRNA in the spinal cord tissue was measured at 1, 7 and 14 d after surgery. In addition, a PC12 injury cell line model was established with 150 μmol/L hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2), and the apoptosis rate and apoptosis-related proteins and contents of different cell lines were detected by flow cytometry and Western blot, respectively. MiR-211-5p was verified to target EphB2 by dual luciferase reporter gene. Results:The results of the animal experiments showed that at different postoperative time points, the miR-211-5p levels in the SCI group were lower than those in the SHAM group: 0.70 ± 0.03 vs. 1.00 ± 0.10, 0.60 ± 0.04 vs. 1.00 ± 0.05, 0.45 ± 0.10 vs. 1.00 ± 0.12, 0.30 ± 0.06 vs. 1.00 ± 0.15, 0.20 ± 0.05 vs. 1.00 ± 0.13, 0.10 ± 0.02 vs. 1.00 ± 0.07. In contrast, levels of Eph/ephrin B2 were higher in the SCI group compared to the SHAM group: 1.10 ± 0.05 vs. 1.00 ± 0.01, 1.80 ± 0.01 vs. 1.00 ± 0.08, 2.30 ± 0.01 vs. 1.00 ± 0.10, 2.60 ± 0.01 vs. 1.00 ± 0.05, 2.80 ± 0.01 vs. 1.00 ± 0.06, 3.00 ± 0.01 vs. 1.00 ± 0.07 and 1.20 ± 0.05 vs. 1.00 ± 0.02, 1.60 ± 0.01 vs. 1.00 ± 0.03, 2.10 ± 0.10 vs. 1.00 ± 0.01, 2.40 ± 0.11 vs. 1.00 ± 0.09, 2.70 ± 0.13 vs. 1.00 ± 0.05, 2.90 ± 0.12 vs. 1.00 ± 0.03 ( P<0.05). At 14 d after surgery, Group A exhibited higher BBB scores than Groups B and C: (14.0 ± 1.1) points vs. (8.0 ± 1.1) and (8.2 ± 1.2) points, while miR-211-5p levels were higher than those in Groups B and C: 1.90 ± 0.10 vs. 0.40 ± 0.01 and 0.50 ± 0.02, and Eph/ephrin B2 levels were lower than those in Groups B and C: 0.70 ± 0.10 vs. 1.80 ± 0.04 and 1.90 ± 0.06, 0.60 ± 0.03 vs. 2.00 ± 0.04 and 2.10 ± 0.05 ( P<0.05). Immunofluorescence staining showed that the levels of GAP-43 and synaptophysin in group A were higher than those in groups B and C at 14 d after surgery ( P<0.05). Cellular assays showed that overexpression of miR-211-5p inhibited the apoptosis rate of H 2O 2-induced PC12 cells and the expression of the apoptosis-related gene Cleaved-caspase3 ( P<0.05). Knockdown of miR-211-5p increased the apoptosis rate of H 2O 2-induced PC12 cells and the expression of the apoptosis-related gene Cleaved-caspase3 ( P<0.05). Dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that EphB2 was a target gene of miR-211-5p and overexpression of EphB2 antagonized the inhibitory apoptosis effect of miR-211-5p on H 2O 2-induced PC12 cells. Conclusions:This study showed that miR-211-5p could promote neurological repair in SCI by inhibiting the expression of Eph/ephrin B2 signaling pathway, suggesting that using miR-211-5p as a target to inhibit Eph/ephrin B2 signaling pathway may have a protective effect on SCI.

RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the protective effect of Xuebijing injection on acute lung injury (ALI) associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) by regulating the apoptosis of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN).Methods:Thirty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham group), CPB model group (CPB group) and Xuebijing pretreatment group (XBJ group) according to the random number table method, with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the CPB group and XBJ group undergoing CPB procedures for 60 minutes. Rats in the Sham group did not undergo CPB. Rats in the XBJ group received intraperitoneal injection of 4 mL/kg Xuebijing injection 2 hours before CPB. Rats in the Sham group and CPB group were injected with an equal amount of normal saline. 4 hours after CPB, arterial blood was collected for blood gas analysis to calculate respiratory index (RI), and lung tissue of rats was collected for determination of lung index (LI) and pulmonary water containing rate. PMN in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected and the activity of caspase-3 was detected. The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of microRNA-142-3p (miR-142-3p) and FoxO1 mRNA were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The protein expression of FoxO1 was detected by Western blotting. In addition, HL-60 cells were divided into control oligonucleotide transfection group, miR-142-3p mimics transfection group, and miR-142-3p inhibitor transfection group. After 48 hours of transfection, the activity of miR-142-3p binding to FoxO1 was detected using dual luciferase reporter genes.Results:Compared with Sham group, RI, LI and pulmonary water containing rate were significantly increased in CPB group. The caspase-3 activity and apoptosis rate of PMN obtained from BALF were significantly decreased, the expression of miR-142-3p was decreased, and the expression of FoxO1 protein was increased. However, compared with CPB group, RI, LI and pulmonary water containing rate were significantly decreased in XBJ group [RI: 0.281±0.066 vs. 0.379±0.071, LI: 4.50±0.26 vs. 5.71±0.42, pulmonary water containing rate: (80.31±32.50)% vs. (84.59±3.41)%, all P < 0.01]. The caspase-3 activity and apoptosis rate of PMN obtained from BALF were significantly increased [caspase-3 activity: 0.350±0.021 vs. 0.210±0.014, apoptosis rate: (15.490±1.382)% vs. (8.700±0.701)%, both P < 0.01], the expression of miR-142-3p was significantly up-regulated (2 -ΔΔCt: 2.61±0.17 vs. 0.62±0.05, P < 0.01), and the protein expression of FoxO1 was decreased [FoxO1/GAPDH (relative expression level): 0.81±0.04 vs. 1.22±0.06, P < 0.01]. However, there was no statistically significant difference in FoxO1 mRNA expression among the three groups. The bioinformatics analysis results showed that miR-142-3p can bind to the FoxO1 3'untranslated region (3'UTR). In HL-60 cells, compared with control oligonucleotide transfection group, the transfection of miR-142-3p mimics could reduce the expression of FoxO1 protein [FoxO1/GAPDH (relative expression level): 0.48±0.06 vs. 1.00±0.05, P < 0.01], however, the transfection of miR-142-3p inhibitor increased the expression of FoxO1 protein [FoxO1/GAPDH (relative expression level): 1.37±0.21 vs. 1.00±0.05, P < 0.05]. But, transfection with miR-142-3p mimics or inhibitor had no effect on FoxO1 mRNA expression. The luciferase reporter gene showed that miR-142-3p could bind to the FoxO1 3'UTR to inhibit FoxO1 expression. Conclusion:Xuebijing injection may promote the apoptosis of pulmonary alveolar PMN through the miR-142-3p/FoxO1 axis, and play a role in the prevention and treatment of CPB-induced ALI.

RESUMEN
Objective To explore the expression of serum long noncoding RNA(lncRNA)CCDC18-AS1 and microRNA-501(miR-501)in patients with human papillomavirus(HPV)-infected cervical cancer,and its correlation with prognosis.Methods A total of 78 patients with HPV-infected cervical cancer who underwent treatment in the hospital from May 2019 to May 2020 were enrolled as study group,meantime,80 patients with simple HPV infection and 81 patients with simple non-HPV infected cervical cancer were set as control group 1 and control group 2.Serum lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 and miR-501 expression levels were detected by re-al-time quantitative PCR.Then the clinical features,postoperative overall survival and progression-free surviv-al were analyzed in the study group.Results The relative expression levels of serum lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 and miR-501 in the study group were higher than those in control group 1 and control group 2(P<0.05),and the relative expression levels of serum lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 and miR-501 in control group 2 were higher than those in control group 1(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 and miR-501 were positively correlated in the study group(r=0.421,P<0.001).Serum lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 and miR-501 in study group were not related to age,but were related to clinical stage,differentiation de-gree,lymph node metastasis,and squamous epithelial cell antigen(P<0.05).Kaplan Meier analysis showed that the postoperative overall survival and progression-free survival of high lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 and miR-501 expression groups were shorter than those of low expression groups(P<0.05).Conclusion HPV-infec-ted cervical cancer patients have up-regulated expression of serum lncRNA CCDC18-AS1 and miR-501,and the abnormal changes are closely related to patients'clinical characteristics and postoperative survival,so the two indicators could be used as auxiliary indicators for the disease assessment and prognosis evaluation.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum microRNA(miR)-137 and miR-21 ex-pression and hypertensive retinopathy(HR).Methods A total of 123 hypertensive patients admitted to the hospital from March 2020 to August 2022 were selected as the hypertensive group and divided into HR and non-HR groups according to whether they were concomitant with HR,and another 58 healthy people who un-derwent the physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group.Clinical data of HR patients were collected and serum miR-137 and miR-21 expression was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.The influencing factors of concurrent HR in hypertensive patients were analyzed,and receiv-er operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used for analzing predictive value of serum miR-137 and miR-21 expression in hypertensive patients with concurrent HR.Results Serum miR-137 and miR-21 relative expres-sion levels were higher in the hypertensive group than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence rate of HR in 123 hypertensive patients was 25.20%(31/123).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that prolonged duration of hypertension and elevated systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,miR-137 rel-ative expression level,and miR-21 relative expression level were independent risk factors for HR in hyperten-sive patients(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum miR-137 combined with miR-21 in predicting HR in hypertensive patients was 0.840,which was greater than 0.735 and 0.732 of the single detection of miR-137 and miR-21(P<0.05).Conclusion High expression of serum miR-137 and miR-21 is closely associated with hypertension complicating HR and may be an auxiliary predictor of HR.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the Meta-analysis of microRNA(miRNA)in distinguishing active tu-berculosis and latent tuberculosis.Methods CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science and Embase databases were searched to select the literature on miRNA in discriminating active tuber-culosis and latent tuberculosis from the establishment of the database to April 2023,and screened strictly ac-cording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The quality of included studies was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2,and data extraction and summary analysis were carried out with Stata16.0 software.Heterogeneity among studies was evaluated by calculating I2,and the sources of heteroge-neity were further explored by Meta-regression and subgroup analysis.Publication bias was assessed using Deeks funnel plot.Results The Meta-analysis encompassed 9 articles,comprising 13 studies.The combined sensitivity of miRNA in differentiating active tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis was found to be 0.79(95％CI:0.69-0.86,I2=86.24％),with a specificity of 0.73(95％CI:0.64-0.81,I2=81.80％).The positive likelihood ratio was 2.96(95％CI:2.22-3.95,12=63.84％),while the negative likelihood ratio was 0.29(95％CI:0.20-0.41,I2=84.04％).Furthermore,the diagnostic odds ratio was 10.33(95％CI:6.43-16.61,I2=99.90％),and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.83(95％CI:0.79-0.86).The results of Meta-regression and subgroup analysis showed that sample size may be the source of sensitivity heterogeneity,and dysregulation of miRNA may be the source of specificity heterogeneity.Deeks funnel plot showed no publication bias among included studies.Conclusion miRNA shows good diagnostic a-bility in distinguishing active tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis,which has important significance for impro-ving the development of diagnostic strategies for tuberculosis management.
