Objective To explore the mechanism of A kinase anchor-protein 150 (AKAP150) in alleviating learning and memory impairment induced by propofol in rats at developmental stage. Methods 80 SD rats aged 7 days were randomly divided into a control group (Con group), propofol group (Pro group), dexmedetomidine pre-administration group (DP group), and AKAP150 adenovirus plus DP group (ADP group) (n = 20). The Con group was injected with equal volume normal saline. The Pro group was injected with propofol of 50 mg/kg twice, and the DP group was injected with dexmedetomidine of 25 μg/kg plus propofol of 50 mg/kg. The ADP group was treated with adenovirus to construct an AKAP150 knockout model. Expression levels of AKAP150, PKA, NLRP3, GSDMD, IL-1β and IL-18 in hippocampus were detected by Western blot. The ultrastructure of hippocampus was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results After propofol treatment, hippocampal cell membrane split and pores formed, expressions of AKAP150 and PKA were down-regulated (P < 0.05), while expressions of NLRP3, GSDMD, IL-1β and IL-18 were up-regulated (P < 0.05), and the frequency of crossing the platform was decreased (P < 0.05). After pre-administration of dexmedetomidine, the cell membrane structure of hippocampus was basically normal, expressions of AKAP150 and PKA were up-regulated (P < 0.05), expressions of NLRP3, GSDMD, IL-1β and IL-18 were down-regulated (P < 0.05), and the frequency of crossing the platform was increased (P < 0.05). Conclusions Dexmedetomidine may enhance the activity of PKA and inhibit expressions of NLRP3, GSDMD, IL-1β and IL-18 by activating expression of AKAP150, thereby alleviating propofol-induced pyroptosis in hippocampal tissues and improving learning and memory impairment in rats at developmental stage.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of target temperature management based different durations with delayed hypothermia for traumatic brain injury(TBI) in rats. Methods 36 healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into NT group, HT4h group, HT24h group and HT48h group. The TBI model of rats was prepared with an electronic controllable cortical injury device. NT group was treated with normal temperature (37 ℃) 4 h after TBI, and the experimental groups were treated with low temperature (33.0 ± 1.0 ℃) 4 h after TBI for 4 h, 24 h, and 48 h. Three days after TBI, the motor function of the rats in each group was evaluated by beam walking test and inclined-grid climbing test, EB staining was used to measure the blood-brain barrier permeability,the change of hippocampal neurons was observed by Nissl staining, the expression of DCX and GFAP was detected by immunofluorescence, and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax was measured by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with NT group, the experimental groups could significantly improve the motor function of TBI rats, reduce the permeability of blood-brain barrier,protect hippocampal neurons, promote DCX expression, inhibit GFAP expression, up-regulate the expression of Bcl-2 protein, and down-regulate the expression of Bax protein. However, the protective effect was more apparent in HT48h group than other experimental groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Long-term delayed target temperature management has a significant brain protective effect.

Objective Investigating the impact of miR?15a?5p on autophagy in trophoblast cells of preeclamptic placenta. Methods Collect 20 cases of normal placental tissue and 20 cases of preeclamptic placental tissue from December 2020 to December 2022. Use fluorescence quantitative PCR to detect the expression of miR?15a?5p in placental tissue and trophoblast cells, and study its correlation with patient blood pressure. The HTR8?S/Vneo cells are divided into normal group (control) and hypoxia group, and the effect of hypoxia on the expression of miR?15a?5p is observed. Additionally, mimic?NC group, mimic?NC+hypoxia group, miR?15a?5p mimic group, miR?15a?5p mimic+hypoxia group, inhibitor?NC group, inhibitor?NC+hypoxia group, miR ?15a ?5p inhibitor group, and miR ?15a ?5p inhibitor +hypoxia groups are set up to observe the effect of miR ?15a ?5p on hypoxia?induced autophagy?related proteins LC3B and p62 protein in trophoblast cells. Western blot is used to detect the expression levels of autophagy?related proteins LC3B and p62 protein in each group; TargetScan website predicts the target genes of miR?15a?5p,and detects their expression levels in placental tissue and trophoblast cells. Results Compared with the control group, the expression levels of miR?15a?5p were significantly increased in the placentas and hypoxic trophoblasts of preeclampsia, and they were positively correlated with the blood pressure of the patients. Under hypoxic conditions, the overexpressed miR?15a?5p promoted the protein expression of LC3BII/I, while the relative expression of P62 was decreased. But after interference with miR?15a?5p, LC3BII/I expression was down?regulated and P62 expression was up?regulated. The results of quantitative PCR and Western blot showed that the expression levels of YAP1 in the preeclampsia placental tissues and hypoxic trophoblasts were significantly reduced. Conclusion The upregulation of miR?15a?5p in trophoblast cells of the placenta in individuals with preeclampsia could enhance autophagy in preeclampsia by forming a complex with YAP1.

Objective To investigate the role of preoperative 3D printing simulation technology in the interventional endovascular exclusion of Stanford B aortic dissection. Methods A retrospective study protocol was used to select 76 patients with Stanford B-type aortic dissection who underwent endovascular isolation surgery in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 in the study. Among them, 40 patients underwent simulated surgery with preoperative 3D printing simulation technology (simulation group) and another 36 patients received conventional endovascular isolation surgery (control group). The two groups were compared in terms of the.cardiac ultrasound indicators, the true and false lumen diameters, and the complication rates of the proximal aortic rupture plane, stent end plane, and abdominal trunk artery plane at different times before and after surgery. Results As compared to the control group, the simulation group showed significantly longer surgical time, extracorporeal circulation time, aortic occlusion time, and ICU stay time (all P < 0.05). After the operation, the true lumen diameter of the proximal aortic rupture plane, stent end plane, and abdominal trunk artery plane were significantly increased in two groups at months 1, 3, and 6 (P < 0.05), but the false lumen diameter of the proximal aortic rupture plane, stent end plane, and abdominal trunk artery plane were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) compared to preoperative levels. The LVEF and FS of the two groups were significantly increased 6 months after surgery (P < 0.05). Conclusion The preoperative 3D printing simulation technology in the interventional endovascular isolation of Stanford B aortic dissection can ensure the surgical effect. It can achieve the same surgical effect as the traditional procedures and importantly it can reduce the difficulty of operation and shorten the operation time.

Objective To establish an optimal limiting dose for dose limiting rings placed in the anterior and posterior regions of the neck for reducing head and neck lymphedema under intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) for early nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) from a dosimetric perspective. Method Fifteen newly diagnosed early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who underwent CT localization for radiotherapy at the Cancer Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January to September 2022 were included in the study. Each case was designed with five sets of radiotherapy plans. Plan A consisted of conventional unlimited-field plans, while Plans B-E consisted of limited-field plans with dose constraints set at 20, 18, 16, and 14 Gy, respectively, with the remaining parameters consistent with Plan A. The impact on target coverage and organ-at-risk constraints was evaluated through variance analysis and pairwise multiple comparisons using a randomized block design to determine the optimal dose limits. Results The gradient of 16Gy was determined as the optimal dose limiting cutoff point for achieving the balance between target coverage and organ limiting dose. Compared with the conventional plan, The plans with the placement of a cervical anterior and posterior dose limiting ring (16Gy) did not change the target dose coverage (P > 0.05), but only yielded a slight change in the homogeneity index (P < 0.05). It did not cause any changes of the dosage in the inner ear, mandible, and brainstem (all P > 0.05), but lead to statistically significant reductions in the oral cavity, throat, and thyroid (all P < 0.05). It caused a slight increase of the dose in the parotid gland and spinal cord (both P < 0.05), but the increased dose was anyhow within the tolerance range. Conclusion The dosimetric investigation determines an optimal dose limit cutoff point for the cervical anterior and posterior dose limiting rings. It is expected to provide a design method for IMRT plans to reduce head and neck lymphedema after radiotherapy for early NPC.

Objective To explore the efficacy of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods From March 2023 to March 2024,60 LDH patients were recruited in the inpatient or outpatient department of the rehabilitation department of a tertiary hospital. All patients were randomly assigned to the rPMS group or the conventional group, 30 cases in each group. Both groups received routine physical therapy, and the rPMS group was treated with rPMS on this basis.VAS, JOA, and neurophysiological tests were performed before intervention and 2 weeks after intervention. Results The VAS and JOA scores of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). Compared with the conventional group, the VAS and JOA scores of the rPMS group were significantly lower (P < 0.05). Compared before and after treatment, the neuroelectrophysiological examination of the rPMS group was significantly improved (P < 0.05). After 2 weeks of treatment, the tibial nerve motor conduction velocity, H reflex latency and IP peak in the conventional group were significantly faster than those before treatment(P < 0.05). After 2 weeks of treatment, compared with the conventional group, there were significant differences in tibial nerve motor conduction velocity, peroneal nerve motor conduction velocity, superficial peroneal nerve sensory conduction velocity, sural nerve sensory conduction velocity, H reflex latency and IP peak (P < 0.05). Conclusion rPMS can significantly improve and restore pain and nerve injury in patients with LDH. rPMS can be used as an effective adjuvant therapy.

Objective To investigate changes in serum complement C1 tumor necrosis factor-related protein family 12 (CTRP12) level before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the relationship of CTRP12 level with in-stent restenosis (ISR). Methods A total of 104 patients who had been diagnosed with AMI and had undergone PCI at Danyang People's Hospital in Jiangsu Province from January 2021 to June 2023 were selected. The incidence of ISR within 12 months after PCI was counted, and they were divided into an ISR group and a non-ISR group according to the results of reviewed coronary angiography. Serum CTRP12 levels were compared between the two groups before PCI and on one day before discharge. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of ISR in AMI patients after PCI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of CTRP12 for ISR in AMI patients after PCI. Results The incidence of ISR in 104 AMI patients at 12 months after PCI was 14.4% (15/104). As compared with the non-ISR group, the ISR group had significant increases in preoperative TIMI flow of ≤ 1, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, TC, and LDL-C, and a significant decline in serum CTRP12 level on one day before discharge (P < 0.05). In the non-ISR group, serum CTRP12 level was significantly higher on one day before discharge than its baseline (P < 0.05). In the ISR group, serum CTRP12 level on one day before discharge was lower than its baseline, but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that a lower CTRP12 level on one day before discharge was an independent risk factor for ISR in AMI patients after PCI (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off point of serum CTRP12 on one day before discharge for predicting ISR in AMI patients after PCI was 3.89 ng/mL (sensitivity 93.3% and specificity 73.0%), and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.849. Conclusions Serum CTRP12 level inone day before discharge has certain predictive value for ISR in AMI patients after PCI. CTRP12 may be a therapeutic target for ISR in AMI patients after PCI.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of Tension-free laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh for pelvic organ prolapse. Methods A total of 85 patients who underwent pelvic organ prolapse were selected as the study group, and 40 patients underwent Laparoscopic sacral fixation surgery(LSC) as the control group in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March 1, 2021 to October 31, 2023. The patients were divided into two subgroups: uterine preservation group and uterine resection group and followed up until April 30, 2024. The intraoperative conditions and postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed. POP quantitative staging(POP-Q)scores were used for evaluation. Preoperative and postoperative quality of life and therapeutic effect were evaluated using the pelvic floor distress inventory short form-20(PFDI-20), urinary distress inventory-6 (UDI-6), colorectal-anal distress inventory-8 (CRADI-8), pelvic organ prolapse distress inventory-6(POPDI-6), pelvic floor impact questionnaire-7(PFIQ-7), prolapse and Incontinence sexual function questionnaire short form(PISQ-12). Results The median follow-up time for patients in the study group is 13.13 months, with an objective cure rate of 96.47% and a reoperation rate of 1.18%. The perioperative complication rates are 6.45% for uterine resection and 4.35% for uterine preservation, while the mesh exposure rate is 1.61% for uterine resection. In comparison, the median follow-up time for patients in the control group is slightly longer at 13.76 months, with an objective cure rate of 92.5% and a reoperation rate of 2.5%. The perioperative complication rates are higher at 14.71% for uterine resection and as high as 33.33% for uterine preservation, while the mesh exposure rate is also elevated at 8.82% for uterine resection. Despite these differences, there was no significant disparity in objective cure rates or reoperation rates between the study group and the control group. Furthermore, it was observed that the study group experienced shorter operation times, less bleeding, faster postoperative recovery, shorter hospitalization periods, lower perioperative complications, and reduced mesh exposure rates?especially among patients with uterine preservation. Additionally, intra-group comparisons revealed significant improvements in all POP-Q indicators one year after surgery (P < 0.05), along with significantly lower scores on PFDI-20, UDI-6, CRADI-8, POPDI-6, PFIQ-7, and PISQ-12 scales compared to pre-surgery levels (P < 0.05). However, no significant inter-group differences were noted. Conclusions Tension-free laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh proves to be an effective surgical approach for treating anteriorand middle pelvic organ prolapse. It demonstrates few perioperative complications while significantly improving prolapse symptoms and enhancing patient qualityof life. It stands as a viable alternative to sacrocolpopexy, particularly beneficial for patients with a preserved uterus.

Objective To investigate the effect of percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy (PETD) on L5-S1 lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and the influence of iliac crest height on the clinical efficacy. Methods A total of 86 patients treated with PETD for LDH (L5-S1 segment) from February 2019 to February 2018 were selected and grouped according to the relationship between the highest point of the iliac crest and the position of the L4-5 pedicle. Forty-eighty patients with the highest point of the iliac crest located below the upper edge of the L5 pedicle were included in group A; thirty-three patients with the highest point of the iliac crest located between the lower edge of the L4 pedicle and the upper edge of the L5 pedicle were included in group B, and five patients with the highest point of the iliac crest located above the lower edge of the L4 pedicle were included in group C. The operation indexes of the three groups were compared. The visual analogue score (VAS) and Oswestry Disability index (ODI) before and after surgery [preoperative(T0), 1 week after surgery (T1), 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after surgery (T2,T3,T4)]were compared among the three groups. Results There was no difference in operation time and blood loss among the three groups (P > 0.05). At T0, there was no difference in VAS score and ODI among the three groups (P > 0.05). At T1-T4, when VAS score and ODI of the three groups were lower than that at T0, VAS in group A and B was lower than that in group C (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between group A and B (P > 0.05). Conclusion PETD has significantly clinical efficacy in the treatment of L5-S1 LDH, and whether the iliac crest height is higher than the level of the lower edge of the L4 pedicle will affect its clinical efficacy.

Objective To explore the early prediction value of related test indicators for non-biliary acute pancreatitis and the influence of interaction of related test indicators on non-biliary acute pancreatitis. Methods A total of 280 patients with the first onset of non-biliary acute pancreatitis who were hospitalized in Jinshan Hospital of Fudan University from July 2019 to July 2023 were divided into mild group and severe group. The severe group included moderately severe and severe patients. Clinical data, tests and examination indicators of first-attack inpatients within 48 hours after admission were collected. Through logistics regression analysis, early detection indicators related to the severity of non-biliary acute pancreatitis were explored, and the influence of their interaction was studied. Results Single-factor analysis showed that albumin (ALB), thyroxine (T4), serum free triiodothyronine, albumin (ALB), Thyroxine (T4) in both groups. FT3), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), serum triglyceride (TG), calcium (Ca) and other indicators were statistically significant (P < 0.05); Through multi-factor logistics regression analysis, it was found that the OR values of T4, FT3, TSH, CA and other detection indicators were all less than 1 (P < 0.05); After controlling for gender, age, history of hypertension, history of diabetes and other factors, the interaction between TG and HbA1c was analyzed, the aOR was 1.500 when only HbA1c was increased (P > 0.05), the aOR was 4.488 when only TG was increased (P < 0.05), and the aOR was 5.084 when TG and HbA1c were increased simultaneously (P < 0.05). Conclusion ALB, T4, FT3, TSH, CA were protective factors of non-biliary AP, and could be used as predictive indicators of the severity of non-biliary acute pancreatitis. Interaction of HbA1c with TG increases the risk of progression to severe non-biliary acute pancreatitis.

Objective To explore the correlation between the expression level of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and the severity of patients with septic shock and its prognostic value. Methods The clinical data and serum of 96 septic shock patients admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from March 2022 to August 2023 were collected, and divided into survival group and death group according to the 28-day outcome; collected at the same time Sera from 30 healthy people undergoing physical examination during the same period served as the control group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) method was used to detect the expression levels of IFN-γ in the three groups, and the expression levels of IFN-γ and various clinical data between the groups were analyzed. Results The serum IFN-γ expression level of patients with septic shock was lower than that of healthy people undergoing physical examination, 212.80 (151.11, 255.79) ng/L compared with 343.37 (314.5, 427.95) ng/L, P < 0.01. Among the 96 cases of septic shock, There were 54 cases in the survival group and 42 cases in the death group. The clinical data of the two groups were compared. The gender, smoking history, SBP, DBP, SI, Lac, IL-6, IFN-γ, PCT, SOFA score, and APACHEⅡscore of the two groups of patients were compared. The difference is statistically significant (P < 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that decreased expression of Lac, IFN-γ, and APACHEⅡ score were independent risk factors for death in patients with septic shock. [Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were 6.491 (1.404 ~ 30.004) respectively. 0.954 (0.954 ~ 0.999), 3.476 (1.210 ~ 9.984), P < 0.05]. The Spearman correlation analysis of INF-γ, Lac and APACHEⅡ showed a negative correlation, and the correlation coefficients were -0.38 and -0.35 respectively. Drawing the ROC curves of Lac, IFN-γ, and APACHEII, the AUCs of the three were 0.847, 0.869, and 0.833 respectively. The AUC of the three joint predictions was 0.978. The joint prediction value of the three was better than that of a single indicator, P < 0.001. Conclusion The decrease in IFN-γ expression level and the severity of septic shock patients have good prognostic value.

Objective To investigate the association between triglyceride glucose index(TyG) combined with waist circumference (WC) and the risk of new-onset coronary heart disease (CHD) in the middle-aged and elderly people in 10 years of non-interventional follow-up in Luzhou area. Methods A total of 8 647 eligible individuals participated in epidemiological survey in Luzhou area were selected. The subjects were divided into different groups according to the quartiles of the TyG-WC and followed for ten years. The correlation between different TyG-WC quartile group and 10-year new CHD in middle-aged and elderly population was analyzed by using univariate analysis and Cox regression analysis. Results Of the 8 647 participants in the study, 484 had new CHD, accounting for 5.5%. The comparison of the number of newly diagnosed CHD subjects grouped by TyG-WC quartiles indicated the 4th quartile group > the 3rd quartile group > the 2nd quartile group > the 1st quartile group, showing statistical significance (P < 0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that without adjusting for any variables, the risk of new CHD in 10 years increased with the increase of TyG-WC quartile group, and the differences between the second, third and fourth quartile array and the first quartile array were statistically significant (P < 0.05). After adjusting for age and sex and further adjusting for the influence of various influencing factors, the risk of new CHD in 10 years increased with the increase of TyG-WC quartile group. The difference between the third and fourth quartile array and the first quartile array was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion TyG-WC is a risk factor for new-onset CHD in the middle-aged and elderly population in Luzhou area in 10 years of non-interventional follow-up, and TyG-WC may be a predictor of the risk of CHD in the middle-aged and elderly population.

Cellular senescence and fibrosis are two biological processes that are closely related to the development of many diseases. Cellular senescence can occur through mechanisms such as telomere shortening, DNA damage, and oxidative stress, leading to degradation of cell function and decreased ability to repair damage. More and more studies have shown that fibrosis and cell senescence are closely related, and cell senescence has been confirmed to be involved in the occurrence and development of scar fibrosis diseases. An in-depth understanding of the relationship between cellular senescence and scar fibrosis is helpful to find new therapeutic strategies and develop targeted drugs to reduce the process of scar fibrosis.
