Introduction: The present study was to investigate the clinical role of miR-330-3p in acute cerebral infarction (ACI), including its diagnostic and prognostic potential. Preliminary exploration of its target genes was archived by bioinformatics analysis.
Methods: miR-330-3p in plasma of the patients with ACI and controls were quantified by real-time quantitative PCR. The 1-month prognosis of the ACI patients was evaluated by the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). The correlation between the plasma levels of miR-330-3p and the GOS scores was tested by Pearson correlation analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were established based on the expression level of miR-330-3p in different groups. The miR-330-3p-targeting genes were analyzed using Venn diagram, protein-protein interaction network, and Gene Ontology enrichment analysis.
Results: miR-330-3p was significantly increased in the plasma of ACI patients compared with that in healthy controls, and ROC curve revealed its diagnostic value for ACI. miR-330-3p was significantly increased in the plasma of patients with poor 1-month prognosis compared with those with good 1-month prognosis. miR-330-3p expression was negatively correlated with GOS score, suggesting its potential to predict the 1-month prognosis for ACI. One-year survival analysis revealed surviving patients had lower levels of miR-330-3p than the deceased. miR-330-3p was proven to predict the death of patients with ACI. The miR-330-3p-targeting genes were associated with synapse-related Gene Ontology terms.
Conclusion: miR-330-3p was upregulated in the plasma of patients with ACI, making it a promising diagnostic and prognostic marker for patients with ACI. miR-330-3p could facilitate synaptic plasticity following cerebral infarction.

Background: We assessed association among household income, overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) after proctectomy for rectal cancer.
Methods: Population-based cohort study included stage I-III rectal adenocarcinoma patients who underwent proctectomy (2010-2020), subdivided by household income at diagnosis [low (<$50,000), average ($50,000-74,999), above-average (≥$75,000)] and compared.
Results: Of 39,185 patients (59 % male; mean age 60.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of butylphthalein injection combined with alteplase thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and its effects on lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and CXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) levels.
Methods: A total of 127 ACI patients admitted to Shandong Provincial Third Hospital between March 2020 and June 2023 were included and divided into a butylphthalein group (n = 67) and a control group (n = 60) based on their treatment regimen. All patients received basic treatment.

Pelvic exenteration (PE) entails an en bloc resection of locally advanced primary or recurrent rectal cancer. This study aimed to assess the short-term and survival outcomes of minimally invasive (MI)- and open PE. A retrospective cohort analysis of patients with stage III rectal adenocarcinoma treated with PE from the National Cancer Database (2010-2019) was conducted.

Objective: This study aims to examine whether the presence of mutation exists in the vitamin D-connector protein gene rs7041 variant of the pancreatitis table for patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019.
Methods: A total of 113 patients with normal pancreatic enzyme levels diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 and 120 patients with both coronavirus disease 2019 diagnosis and high pancreatic enzyme levels were included in the study. The rs7041 genotyping of the 11th single nucleotide variation in the vitamin D-connector protein gene was determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism methods.
