    Abstract Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic multifactorial inflammatory bowel disease that severely impairs patients' life quality. microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to exhibit potential therapeutic effects in the management of UC. With the aim to investigate the regulatory effects of miR-330 on UC-related colon tissue damage and inflammation, a rat model of experimental colitis was established by oral administration of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). DSS-treated rats showed mucosal damage, colonic inflammation, and elevated myeloperoxidase activity compared with the healthy controls. Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the binding of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) and miR-330. Subsequently, rats were intracolonically injected with miR-330 argomir with/without administration of IRAK1 during DSS treatment. The miR-330 overexpression reduced DSS-induced colonic injury and the production of proinflammatory cytokines. The level of IRAK1 was negatively regulated by the expression of miR-330. IRAK1 overexpression abolished the protective effect of miR-330 on DSS-induced colonic inflammation and mucosal injury in rats. In conclusion, we clarify the role of miR-330 in pathogenesis of UC, suggesting miR-330 alleviated DSS-induced colitis by downregulating IRAK1, shedding lights on miR-330 as a therapeutic candidate for UC treatment.

    Abstract Cardiovascular diseases have become one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Stents and artificial grafts have been used to treat cardiovascular diseases. Thrombosis and restenosis seriously impact the clinical outcome of stents and artificial vascular grafts. For the purpose of antithrombosis and anti-restenosis, numerous strategies have been developed to construct highly hemocompatible surfaces, enhance endothelialization, and inhibit intimal hyperplasia. Rapid endothelialization and inhibited intimal hyperplasia play an important role in artery repair after stent implantation and coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This review focuses on the recently developed strategies for improving the hemocompatibility and endothelialization of cardiovascular devices. We also introduce drug, gene and RNA delivery technologies for inhibiting intimal hyperplasia. The challenges and future perspectives about promoting endothelialization are also briefly discussed with the hope to help inspire further innovations.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis, direct endovascular therapy (EVT), and bridging therapy (BT = intravenous thrombolysis + EVT) for acute basilar artery occlusion cerebral infarction.
    Methods: One hundred and fourteen patients with acute basilar artery occlusion cerebral infarctions admitted between January 2020 and August 2023 were selected. Differences in the reperfusion rate, prognosis, incidence of stroke-associated pneumonia, and mortality rate were compared among the 3 groups.
    Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of patients who achieved successful reperfusion (86.8% vs. 84.2%) or complete reperfusion (72.1% vs. 68.4%) between the direct EVT and BT groups (both P > 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (3.7% vs. 10.3% vs. 10.5%, P = 0.763). There were statistically significant differences in the rates of good prognosis (modified ranking scale score 0-2) (59.3% vs. 30.9% vs. 26.3%, P = 0.021), stroke-related pneumonia (29.6% vs. 66.2% vs. 36.8%, P = 0.002), and mortality (14.8% vs. 48.5% vs. 42.1%, P = 0.010) among the 3 treatment groups. According to the binary logistic regression analysis, a good prognosis was independently associated with a baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≤ 10 (odds ratio, 3.714; 95% confidence interval, 1.207-11.430; P = 0.022) and the incidence of stroke-associated pneumonia (odds ratio, 0.640; 95% confidence interval, 0.484-0.845; P = 0.002).
    Conclusions: Although there were differences in prognosis, mortality, and incidence of complications among the 3 treatment groups, after adjusting for confounding factors, prognosis was independently correlated only with the baseline NIHSS score and stroke-associated pneumonia but not with treatment methods.

    Abstract Background: COPD is a chronic respiratory disease with a long course and recurrent characteristics. According to relevant statistics, the global incidence of COPD is more than 30%, which seriously affects the life of patients and endangers their health.
    Objective: To observe the curative effect of Xiyanping in elderly patients with COPD and its influence on the expressions of growth differentiation GDF-15 and HIF-1
    Methods: From August 2019 to December 2021, 86 elderly patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were admitted to our hospital. As the research objects, they were divided into the control group (
    Results: On the 3rd and 7th days after being treated, the sputum excretion in them was higher than before, but on the 3rd day of treatment, the sputum excretion in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, while on the 7th day of treatment, the sputum excretion was lower than that in the control group with statistically significant differences (
    Conclusion: Xiyanping can improve pulmonary function of elderly patients with acute exacerbation of COPD, reduce the response of airway hyperreactivity, and promote the excretion of sputum.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the factors correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
    Methods: A total of 239 PD patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of EDS (Epworth Sleepiness Scale score≥10) (PD-EDS vs. PD-non-EDS). Participants underwent an extensive assessment to determine demographic features, disease severity, polysomnography characteristics, and nonmotor symptoms.
    Results: Of the 239 patients, 56 patients (23.4%) were classified as having PD combined with EDS. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale [FSS] score ≥4) (odds ratio [OR] [95% CI] = 4.897 [2.376-10.095], p < .001) and the respiratory-related microarousal index (OR [95% CI] = 2.063 [1.085-3.923], p = .027) were independent risk factors for EDS in PD patients. A priori-determined stratified analysis showed that after adjustment for confounding factors, the association of the respiratory-related microarousal index with EDS was significant (OR = 4.404, 95% CI 1.673-11.592, p trend = .036) in patients with respiratory arousal index scores in the highest quintile compared with those with scores in the lowest quintile.
    Conclusion: Our data revealed a close association among the respiratory-related microarousal index, FSS scores, and EDS. It can be speculated that fragmented sleep and pathological abnormalities of the central nervous system resulting in changes in arousal are major influencing factors of EDS in PD.

    Abstract Arginase has shown promising potential in treating cancers by arginine deprivation therapy; however, low enzymatic activity and stability of arginase are impeding its development. This study was aimed to improve the enzymological properties of a marine bacterial arginase by carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) conjugation. An arginase producing marine bacterium Priestia megaterium strain P6 was isolated and identified. The novel arginase PMA from the strain was heterologously expressed, purified, and then conjugated to CMCS by ionic gelation with calcium chloride as the crosslinking agent. Enzymological properties of both PMA and CMCS-PMA conjugate were determined. The optimum temperature for PMA and CMCS-PMA at pH 7 were 60 °C and 55 °C, respectively. The optimum pH for PMA and CMCS-PMA at 37 °C were pH 10 and 9, respectively. CMCS-PMA showed higher thermostability than PMA over 55-70 °C and higher pH stability over pH 4-11 with the highest pH stability at pH 7. At 37 °C and pH of 7, i.e., around the human blood temperature and pH, CMCS-PMA was higher than the free PMA in enzymatic activity and stability by 24% and 21%, respectively. CMCS conjugation not only changed the optimum temperature, optimum pH, and enzymatic activity of PMA, but also improved its pH stability and temperature stability, and thus made it more favorable for medical application.
