ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the feasibility of using donors with novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) when there are no other available donors and allo-HSCT cannot be delayed or discontinued. Methods: Seventy-one patients with malignant hematological diseases undergoing allo-HSCT between December 8, 2022, and January 10, 2023, were included. Of these, 16 received grafts from donors with mild COVID-19 (D-COVID(+) group) and 55 received grafts from donors without COVID-19 (D-COVID(-) group). The graft compositions were compared between the two groups. Engraftment, acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), overall survival (OS), and relapse were also evaluated. Results: There were no serious side effects or adverse events in the D-COVID(+) group. The mononuclear cell dose and CD34(+) cell dose were comparable between the two groups, and no additional apheresis was required. There were no significant differences in the lymphocyte, monocyte, and T-cell subset doses between the two groups. The median natural killer cell dose in the D-COVID(+) group was significantly higher than that in the D-COVID(-) group (0.69×10(8)/kg vs. 0.53×10(8)/kg, P=0.031). The median follow-up time was 72 (33-104) days. All patients achieved primary engraftment. The 60-day platelet engraftment rates in the D-COVID(+) and D-COVID(-) groups were 100% and (96.4±0.2) %, respectively (P=0.568). There were no significant differences in neutrophil (P=0.309) and platelet (P=0.544) engraftment times. The cumulative incidence of grade 2-4 aGVHD was (37.5±1.6) % vs. (16.4±0.3) % (P=0.062), and of grade 3-4 aGVHD was 25.0% ±1.3% vs. 9.1% ±0.2% (P=0.095) in the D-COVID(+) and D-COVID(-) groups, respectively. The probabilities of 60-day OS were 100% and 98.1% ±1.8% (P=0.522) in the D-COVID(+) and D-COVID(-) groups, respectively. There was no relapse of primary disease during the study period. Conclusion: When allo-HSCT cannot be delayed or discontinued and no other donor is available, a donor with mild COVID-19 should be considered if tolerable. Larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are required to validate these results.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the levels of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E in children with obesity and their influencing factors.@*METHODS@#A total of 273 children with obesity who attended the Department of Clinical Nutrition, Xi'an Children's Hospital, from January 2019 to April 2021 were enrolled as the obesity group. A total of 226 children with normal body weight who underwent physical examination during the same period were enrolled as the control group. Anthropometric parameters and body composition were measured for both groups, and the serum concentrations of vitamins A, D, and E were also measured.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control group, the obesity group had significantly higher serum levels of vitamin A [(1.32±0.21) μmol/L vs (1.16±0.21) μmol/L, P<0.001] and vitamin E [(9.3±1.4) mg/L vs (8.3±1.2) mg/L, P<0.001] and a significant reduction in the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [(49±22) nmol/L vs (62±24) nmol/L, P<0.001]. In the obesity group, the prevalence rates of marginal vitamin A deficiency, vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency, and vitamin E insufficiency were 5.5% (15/273), 56.8% (155/273), and 4.0% (11/273), respectively. After adjustment for body mass index Z-score and waist-to-height ratio, serum vitamin A level was positively correlated with age (P<0.001), while vitamins E and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were negatively correlated with age in children with obesity (P<0.001). After adjustment for age, the serum levels of vitamin A, vitamin E and 25-hydroxyvitamin D were not correlated with degree of obesity, percentage of body fat, and duration of obesity in children with obesity, while the serum levels of vitamins A and E were positively correlated with waist-to-height ratio (P<0.001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#There are higher serum levels of vitamins A and E in children with obesity, especially in those with abdominal obesity, while serum vitamin D nutritional status is poor and worsens with age. Therefore, vitamin D nutritional status should be taken seriously for children with obesity, and vitamin D supplementation should be performed when necessary.

ABSTRACT

In this study, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance(LF-NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) were employed to analyze the water distribution, status, and migration in the moistening process of Arecae Semen. Peleg model was adopted to study the water absorption kinetics of Arecae Semen moistened at different water temperatures(10, 30, and 50 ℃). The Arecae Semen samples soaked at different water temperatures all contained four water states: binding water T_(21), non-flowing water T_(22), free water T_(23), and unbound water T_(24). Non-flowing water had the largest increase in peak area during the moistening process, followed by free water. The peak areas of non-flowing water, free water, and total water were correlated with the water content(P<0.01). Therefore, LF-NMR can quickly and non-destructively predict the water content of Arecae Semen during moistening. The peak area of non-flowing water and the content of free water were correlated with the content of arecoline in the soaking solution(P<0.01), which indicated that the faster flow of non-flowing water and more free water corresponded to more arecoline dissolved. The MRI images showed that the water migration pathway varied at different soaking temperatures, and the moistening degree obtained by this means was consistent with that obtained based on traditional experience. The rate constant K_1 fitted by Peleg model decreased with the increase in water temperature, while the capacity constant K_2 showed an opposite trend. The Arrhenius equation fitting of K_1 with temperature showed that the activation energy of Arecae Semen in the moistening process was 32.98 kJ·mol~(-1). LF-NMR/MRI can be used to analyze the water status and content and determine the end moisturing point of Arecae Semen. Peleg model can accurately describe the water absorption properties of Arecae Semen in the moistening process. The findings of this study can guide the moistening optimization and mechanism research of other seed Chinese medicinal materials.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of JAG1 on the malignant phenotype of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and its role in angiogenesis in breast cancer microenvironment.@*METHODS@#The expressions of Notch molecules were detected in human TNBC 231 and 231B cells using RT-qPCR. Five female nude mice were inoculated with 231 cells and another 5 with 231B cells into the mammary fat pads, and 4-6 weeks later, the tumors were collected for immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence tests. 231 cells and 231B cells were treated with recombinant JAG (rJAG) protein and DAPT, respectively, and changes in their malignant phenotypes were assessed using CCK-8 assay, Hoechst 33258 staining, wound healing assay, Transwell chamber assay and endothelial cell adhesion assay. Western blotting was used to detect the changes in the expressions of proteins related with the malignant phenotypes of 231 and 231B cells. The effects of conditioned medium (CM) derived from untreated 231 and 231 B cells, rJAG1-treated 231 cells and DAPT-treated 231B cells on proliferation and tube formation ability of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were evaluated using CCK-8 assay and tube-forming assay.@*RESULTS@#The expression of JAG1 was higher in 231B cells than in 231 cells (P < 0.05). Tumor 231B showed higher expression of VEGFA and CD31. Compared with 231-Blank group, the migration, invasion and adhesion of 231 cells in 231-rJAG1 were significantly enhanced (P < 0.05). Protein levels of Twist1 and Snail increased (P < 0.01), anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 increased (P < 0.05), while DAPT inhibited the related phenomena and indicators of 231B. The 231-rJAG1-CM increased the cell number and tubule number of HUVEC (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#JAG1 may affect the malignant phenotype of TNBC and promote angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment.

ABSTRACT

The water-soluble polypeptide drug oxytocin was encapsulated in liposomes by reverse-phase evaporation vesicle method to obtain oxytocin loaded liposomes (OT@LPs) which was further modified with cationic cell penetrating peptide—arginine octamer (R8) to get R8 modified oxytocin loaded liposomes (OT@LPs-R8) which showed enhanced mucoadhesive. The brain targeting efficiency was evaluated preliminarily after nasal administration. OT@LPs-R8 showed a round shape with a particle size distribution of 110.2 ± 7.3 nm, a surface potential as high as +18 mV, a drug loading (62.17 ± 1.88) %, an encapsulation rate (5.85 ± 0.72) %, and stood stable in nasal mucus. After nasal administration, it could significantly prolong the retention and enhance the distribution in the brain with no irritation to the nasal mucosa. The animal experiment in line with the regulations of the Department of Laboratory Animal Science of Fudan University on the ethics of animal experiments had been carried out after passing the review of the Animal Ethics Committee of Fudan University. The results showed nasal administration of OT@LPs-R8 could promote oxytocin directly into the brain from the nose which expected to become a new carrier for delivery of oxytocin to the brain.

ABSTRACT

Objective::To construct the color matching template irrelevant to size and rotation according to the types and distribution characteristics of colors in images of Chinese herbal pieces, in order to establish color characterization and image identification methods for Chinese herbal pieces. Method::Totally 20 types of Chinese herbal pieces were selected, including rhizomes, flowers, seeds and fruits.For each sample, two observation surfaces were selected to extract color parameters in foreground through image processing such as image segmentation, model transformation from RGB to L*a*b*.Color vectors of the two observation surfaces were sequenced in a descending order, scaled to a certain size by interpolating, and combined into an integrated color vector in a weight ratio of 1∶1.As for centripetally distributed observation surface images(e.g.transverse section), corrosion operation was conducted to extract the color components of each ring from outer to inner by circles, which were then ordered and scaled.The integrated color vector was used as initial template for training, the correlation coefficient between each sample and the template was calculated, and the interval estimation of positive samples were carried out by t test.With the total recognition rate as an indicator, the optimal template dimensions, width of ring and training volume were ultimately determined. Result::The visualization results of the trained templates of the varied herbal pieces were easy to be visually distinguished.After 260 samples of the herbal pieces were tested, the template of a and b components was better than that of L*, a* and b* in terms of recognition performance, with a* recognition accuracy of 95.8%(249/200). Conclusion::Color characteristics of images from two observation surfaces of Chinese herbal pieces are integrated to obtain the combined color feature vector, so as to achieve preferable recognition results for samples from both the same and different medicinal parts.This method boasts a strong anti-interference ability of random variation of sample shape, sampling part and color.

ABSTRACT

Background@#Although the use of extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been rapidly increasing, the benefit of ECMO in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains unclear. Our objective was to investigate the effect of venovenous ECMO (VV-ECMO) on adult patients with severe ARDS.@*Methods@#We conducted a multi-center, retrospective, cohort study in the intensive care units (ICUs) of six teaching hospitals between January 2013 and December 2018. Patients with severe ARDS who received VV-ECMO support were included. The detailed demographic data and physiologic data were used to match ARDS patients without ECMO. The primary endpoint was the 28-day mortality.@*Results@#Ninety-nine patients with severe ARDS supported by VV-ECMO and 72 patients without ECMO were included in this study. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II score was 23.1 ± 6.3 in the ECMO group and 24.8 ± 8.5 in the control group (P = 0.1195). The sequential organ failure assessment score was 12.8 ± 3.4 in the ECMO group and 13.7 ± 3.5 in the control group (P = 0.0848). The 28-day mortality of patients with ECMO support was 39.4%, and that of the control group was 55.6%. The survival analysis curve showed that the 28-day mortality in the ECMO group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P = 0.0097). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the independent predictors of the 28-day mortality were the requirement of vasopressors before ECMO (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.006; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.001–1.013; P = 0.030) and duration of mechanical ventilation before ECMO (HR: 3.299; 95% CI: 1.264–8.609; P = 0.034).@*Conclusions@#This study showed that ECMO improved the survival of patients with severe ARDS. The duration of mechanical ventilation and the requirement of vasopressors before ECMO might be associated with an increased risk of death.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To build a gray-level matching template by using the gray level information of the microscopic image of the transverse section of Chinese medicinal materials,in order to realize the automatic recognition of the images of Chinese medicinal materials independent of scale and orientation. Method:By using the embedding method of polyethylene glycol (PEG),the transverse slices of 19 kinds of common rhizomatous medicinal materials were obtained. The images of the slices were taken by digital microscopic imaging technology,and the mosaic grayscale images were obtained by image registration,noise removal and boundary location. The center of the structure of the materials in the images was selected to establish the polar coordinate system, so as to divide grids from the radial and angular directions. By counting the gray information in each grid,the gray information digital matrix that can characterize the microscopic identification characteristics of the materials was obtained. Images in an appropriate sample size was used to train the matrix for generalization of the matrix. The covariance coefficients between the matrix of positive or negative verification sample and the template matrix were calculated to set the best identification parameters. For each medicinal material,80 fan-shaped images were prepared,including 70% of training samples,15% of validation samples and 15% of test samples,and single template and template set were tested with test samples. Result:In the test of 240 images including non-template-set medicinal materials,the correct recognition rate of single-template test was 90.1%,and that of template-set test was 92.5%. Conclusion:This method can well characterize the microscopic identification characteristics of Chinese medicinal materials, with a strong anti-interference ability and less subjective-errors, acquire sample images easily, and provide technical support for the digitization of morphological quality control of Chinese medicinal materials.

ABSTRACT

Vinpocetine (VP) has been widely used to treat cerebrovascular disorders and nerve injury. Borneol (BN), as an important traditional Chinese medicine, is commonly used to promote the absorption and distribution of central nervous system drugs. In this work, a LC-MS/MS method was developed to determine the level of VP in rat plasma and tissues, and to evaluate the effect of co-administration of BN with VP by oral gavage on the absorption and tissue distribution of VP in rats. Rats were divided into VP (10 mg·kg-1), VP (10 mg·kg-1) + BN (75 mg·kg-1) and VP (10 mg·kg-1) + BN (150 mg·kg-1) groups for pharmacokinetic study, and divided into VP (10 mg·kg-1) and VP (10 mg·kg-1) + BN (150 mg·kg-1) groups for tissue distribution study. The animal experiment was approved by Ethics Committee of Hubei University, and complied with the guideline for caring and using of laboratory animals. Compared to VP group, the AUC0-∞, MRT0-∞ and t1/2z of VP + BN (150 mg·kg-1) group increased significantly, by 1.98-, 1.22- and 1.42-fold respectively, and the exposure in plasma, liver, kidney and brain increased by 2-, 1.5-, 1.5- and 1.3-fold respectively. The pharmacokinetic results suggested that co-administration of BN with VP is beneficial for overcoming the undesirable pharmacokinetic characteristics of VP, such as short residence time, low oral bioavailability and brain exposure in clinical usage.

ABSTRACT

·AIM: To evaluate the effects of foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) implantation on the treatment of severe ocular trauma and late silicone oil-dependent eyes due to severe ocular trauma and recurrent retinal detachment. · METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the four patients (four eyes) with FCVB implantation at our hospital since November 2017. Out of these 4 patients,2 were males and 2 were females, with an average age of 31.5 years and an average intraocular pressure (IOP) of 5.6mmHg pre-operatively. Among those 4 eyes,3 eyes underwent silicone oil tamponade due to severe ocular trauma and the other one was recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil - filled eye. Standard pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) was performed, and the FCVB was triple folded and implanted in the vitreous cavity of four eyes. The retinal was assessed, as well as visual acuity,IOP, FCVB condition before and after treatment, and applied therapy. ·RESULTS: All of those 4 eyes underwent successfully implantation of FCVB, which remained its proper position. During 1-3mo follow-up, the mean visual acuity was no different compared with pre - operative values.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe whether BMSCs differentiate into TAFs in inflammatory microenvironment simula-ted by IL-6 and TNF-α.Methods The experiment was divided into 9 groups:the BMSCs group,the 50 ng/mL, 100 ng/mL IL-6 intervention group, the 50 ng/mL,100 ng/mL TNF-α intervention group, the 50 ng/mL IL-6+50 ng/mL TNF-α intervention group,the 50 ng/mL IL-6+100 ng/mL TNF-α intervention group,the 100 ng/mL IL-6+50 ng/mL TNF-α intervention group and the 100 ng/mL IL-6+100 ng/mL TNF-α intervention group; After continuous induction for 42 days, BMSCs cell morphology and cycle, TAFs-tagged α-SMA and FAP protein were examined by phase-contrast microscope,flow cytometry and Western blot method. Results Compared with the normal control group, the 100 ng/mL IL-6+50 ng/mL TNF-α intervention group BMSC cell proliferation was significantly promoted;G1phase decreased in proportion and S phase increased;α-SMA and FAP protein expression was signifi-cantly increased (P<0.05).Conclusions Microenvironment simulated by the 100 ng/mL IL-6+50 ng/mL TNF-α may induce the abnormal change of the BMSCs morphological and proliferative characteristics. TAFs reference mole-cule α-SMA and FAP expression is increased.
