Study on the related factors of antiviral treatment in previously reported hepatitis C patients based on the Andersen model / 中华肝脏病杂志

Objective: To understand the basic characteristics of previously reported patients with hepatitis C and analyze the related factors affecting their antiviral treatment. Methods: A convenient sampling method was adopted. Patients who had been previously diagnosed with hepatitis C in the Wenshan Prefecture of Yunnan Province and Xuzhou City of Jiangsu Province were contacted by telephone for an interview study. The Andersen health service utilization behavior model and related literature were used to design the research framework for antiviral treatment in previously reported hepatitis C patients. A step-by-step multivariate regression analysis was used in previously reported hepatitis C patients treated with antiviral therapy. Results: A total of 483 hepatitis C patients, aged 51.73 ± 12.06 years, were investigated. The proportion of male, agricultural occupants who were registered permanent residents, farmers and migrant workers was 65.24%, 67.49%, and 58.18%, respectively. Han ethnicity (70.81%), married (77.02%), and junior high school and below educational level (82.61%) were the main ones. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that married patients with hepatitis C (OR = 3.19, 95% CI: 1.93-5.25, compared with unmarried, divorced, and widowed patients) with high school education or above (OR = 2.54, 95% CI: 1.54-4.20, compared with patients with junior high school education or below) were more likely to receive antiviral treatment in the predisposition module. Patients with severe self-perceived hepatitis C in the need factor module (compared with patients with mild self-perceived disease, OR = 3.36, 95% CI: 2.09-5.40) were more likely to receive treatment. In the competency module, the family's per capita monthly income was more than 1,000 yuan (compared with patients with per capita monthly income below 1,000 yuan, OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.02-2.47), and the patients had a high level of awareness of hepatitis C knowledge (compared with patients with a low level of knowledge, OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.01-2.35), and the family members who knew the patient's infection status (compared with patients with an unknown infection status, OR = 4.59, 95% CI: 2.24-9.39) were more likely to receive antiviral treatment. Conclusion: Different income, educational, and marital statuses are related to antiviral treatment behavior in hepatitis C patients. Family support of hepatitis C patients receiving hepatitis C-related knowledge and their families knowing the infection status is more important in promoting the antiviral treatment of patients, suggesting that in the future, we should further strengthen the hepatitis C knowledge of hepatitis C patients, especially the family support of hepatitis C patients' families in treatment.

Demographic characteristics and associated influencing factors in treated patients with chronic hepatitis B with hypoviremia : a single-center retrospective cross-sectional study / 中华肝脏病杂志

Objective: To investigate the demographic characteristics and clinical influencing factors which associates with the occurrence probability of persistent or intermittent hypoviremia (LLV) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs). Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was performed on patients with CHB who received outpatient NAs therapy for≥48 ± 2 weeks. According to the serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA load at 48±2 weeks treatment, the study groups were divided into LLV (HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml and < 2 000 IU/ml) and MVR group (sustained virological response, HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml). Demographic characteristics and clinical data at the start of NAs treatment (considered as baseline) were retrospectively collected for both patient groups. The differences in the reduction of HBV DNA load during treatment was compared between the two groups. Correlation and multivariate analysis were further conducted to analyze the associated factors influencing the LLV occurrence. Statistical analysis was performed using the independent samples t-test, c2 test, Spearman analysis, multivariate logistic regression analysis, or area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: A total of 509 cases were enrolled, with 189 and 320 in the LLV and MVR groups, respectively. Compared to patients with MVR group at baseline: (1) the demographics characteristics of patients showed that LLV group was younger in age (39.1 years, P = 0.027), had a stronger family history (60.3%, P = 0.001), 61.9% received ETV treatment, and higher proportion of compensated cirrhosis (20.6%, P = 0.025) at baseline; (2) the serum virological characteristics of patients showed that LLV group had higher HBV DNA load, qHBsAg level, qHBeAg level, HBeAg positive rate, and the proportion of genotype C HBV infection but decreased HBV DNA during treatment (P < 0.001) at baseline; (3) the biochemical characteristics of patients showed that LLV group had lower serum ALT levels (P = 0.007) at baseline; (4) the noninvasive fibrosis markers of patients showed that LLV group were characterized by high aspartate aminotransferase platelet ratio index (APRI) (P = 0.02) and FIB-4 (P = 0.027) at baseline. HBV DNA, qHBsAg and qHBeAg were positively correlated with LLV occurrence (r = 0.559, 0.344, 0.435, respectively), while age and HBV DNA reduction were negatively correlated (r = -0.098, -0.876, respectively). Logistic regression analysis showed that ETV treatment history, high HBV DNA load at baseline, high qHBsAg level, high qHBeAg level, HBeAg positive, low ALT and HBV DNA level were independent risk factors for patients with CHB who developed LLV with NAs treatment. Multivariate prediction model had a good predictive value for LLV occurrence [AUC 0.922 (95%CI: 0.897 ~ 0.946)]. Conclusion: In this study, 37.1% of CHB patients treated with first-line NAs has LLV. The formation of LLV is influenced by various factors. HBeAg positivity, genotype C HBV infection, high baseline HBV DNA load, high qHBsAg level, high qHBeAg level, high APRI or FIB-4 value, low baseline ALT level, reduced HBV DNA during treatment, concomitant family history, metabolic liver disease history, and age < 40 years old are potential risk factors for developing LLV in patients with CHB during the therapeutic process.

Evaluation of China Comprehensive AIDS Response Program in 2020 / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective: To analyze the work indicators of China Comprehensive AIDS Response Program (China CARES) and provide reference for future work of the program. Methods: The scores of each indicator were calculated, and different scores among different types of program areas were compared. The M(Q1,Q3) was used to describe the score of each indicator. The entropy weight method was used to calculate the composite score of each indicator and the composite score was translated into a 100-point system and compared among indicators. Results: In terms of the first-level indicators, organizational leadership and management (96.0 points), publicity and education (94.0 points), and innovative strategies and measures (98.0 points) got relatively high scores; while comprehensive social governance of AIDS prevention (72.0 points) was with the lowest score. The scores of publicity and education and comprehensive intervention in county-level program areas were significantly lower than those in urban areas. For secondary indicators, the indicator with relatively lower scores included "condom use among female sex workers last time" (70.0 points)", "at least one local key population has an increase in the number of people receiving HIV testing compared with the previous year" (70.0 points)", "colleges and occupational schools set up AIDS-related self-service facilities" (65.0 points), "HIV testing among the arrested people suspected of prostitution, adultery, drug users and traffickers" (55.0 points) and "condom use among men who have sex with men during last episode" (50.0 points). The "indicator 3 comprehensive intervention" contributed most to the evaluation, while "indicator 7 innovation strategies and measures" played a minor role in the evaluation results. Conclusions: The overall situation of AIDS Response Program in 2020 was good, but the progress in different word areas was not yet balanced. The two areas of comprehensive intervention and comprehensive social governance of AIDS prevention should be strengthened. It is also suggested that relevant indicators be adjusted appropriately to improve evaluation indicators system and comprehensively promote the program.

MiR-744-5p inhibits the proliferation, invasion, and migration of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma cells by targeting CCND1 / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the role of miR-744-5p/CCND1 axis in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).@*METHODS@#We examined the expression levels of miR-744-5p in 65 pairs of ccRCC and adjacent tissue specimens and in 5 ccRCC cell lines and human renal tubular epithelial (HK2) cells using qRT-PCR. The ccRCC cell lines 786-O and OSRC2 were transfected with miR-744-5p mimic, CCND1 mimic, or their negative control mimics, and the changes in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were evaluated with CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell assays. The downstream target molecules of miR-744-5p were predicted by bioinformatics analysis, and the expression level of CCND1 in ccRCC cells was verified by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. The relationship between miR-744-5p and CCND1 was further validated by dual luciferase reporter assay, and the role of the miR-744-5p/CCND1 axis in ccRCC was explored by rescue experiments.@*RESULTS@#MiR-744-5p was significantly downregulated in ccRCC tissues and cell lines (all P < 0.05), and its overexpression inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ccRCC cells (all P < 0.05). Bioinformatics analysis and dual luciferase reporter assay showed that CCND1 was a downstream target of miR-744-5p. The results of rescue experiments showed that upregulation of CCND1 could partially reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-744-5p overexpression on ccRCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion (all P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#MiR-744-5p inhibits the malignant phenotype of ccRCC cells by targeting CCND1, and the miR-744-5p/CCND1 axis may be a novel target for diagnosis and treatment of ccRCC.

Correlations between alterations of T-helper 17 cells and treatment efficacy after concurrent radiochemotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer (stage IIB-IIIB): a 3-year prospective study / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Recently, T-helper 17 (Th17) cells have been proved to play an important role in promoting cervical cancer. But, till now, few study has been carried out to understand the involvement of these cells in efficacy of anti-tumor treatments. This study aimed to investigate the alterations in the percentage of circulating Th17 cells and related cytokines in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients before and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) and to analyze the correlations between the alterations in Th17 cells and treatment efficacy.@*METHODS@#A prospective study with 49 LACC (International federation of gynecology and obstetrics [FIGO] stage IIB-IIIB) patients and 23 controls was conducted. Patients received the same cCRT schedule and were followed up for 3 years. Circulating Th17 cells (CD3+CD8- interleukin [IL]-17+ T cells) and related cytokines IL-17, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), IL-10, IL-23, IL-6, and IL-22 were detected before and after cCRT. Correlations between alterations of circulating Th17 cells and treatment efficacy were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).@*RESULTS@#We found that 40 patients finished the entire cCRT schedule and met the endpoint of this study. The percentage of circulating Th17 cells in the LACC patients was higher than that in the controls, and it significantly decreased after cCRT (P < 0.05). After cCRT, patients were divided into two groups based on the average of the Th17 cells declined. The subgroup of patients with a prominent decrease in circulating Th17 cells after cCRT had a higher treatment efficacy and longer PFS and OS times. Compared with the control patients, LACC patients had higher IL-6, IL-10, IL-22, TGF-β levels and a lower IL-23 level (P < 0.05). After cCRT, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, IL-23 level significantly increased and TGF-β level significantly decreased compared with the levels before cCRT (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Circulating Th17 cells in the LACC patients (FIGO stage IIB-IIIB) were higher than those in the controls, but they generally decreased after cCRT. A more pronounced decrease in circulating Th17 cells after cCRT was correlated with better therapeutic effect and longer PFS and OS times.

OBJECTIVE： To study the effects of benzoyl aconitine （BAC） on autophagy and apoptosis of human lung cancer A549 cells， and to investigate its mechanism in anti-non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS： A549 cells were treated with different doses of BAC （10， 50， 100， 200， 400 μmol/L）， and then cell morphology was obtained； the proliferation inhibition rate of the cell was determined by CCK-8 assay. The cells were divided into control group （without drug）， BAC low-dose and high-dose groups （200， 400 μmol/L）. After treated with relevant drugs， the apoptosis rate of cells was determined by flow cytometry. The gene and protein expression of apoptosis-related factors Bcl-2， Bax， Caspase-3 as well as autophagy-related factors Beclin1， LC3， P62 were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting assay. RESULTS： After treated with different doses of BAC， the cells were shrunken and sparsely arranged； inhibitory rate of cell proliferation was increased significantly in BAC 100， 200， 400 μmol/L groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Results of flow cytometry showed that the apoptotic rates of cells were increased to different extents in BAC low-dose and high-dose groups after treated for 24 and 48 h， in a concentration and time-dependent manner. Compared with control group， mRNA and protein expression of Bcl-2 and P62 were decreased to different extents in BAC groups； mRNA expression of Bax， Caspase-3， Beclin1 and LC3 as well as protein expression of Bax， Active caspase-3， P62， Beclin1， LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ were increased to different extent； there was statistical significance in mRNA expression of Caspase-3， and protein expression of Bcl-2， Active Caspase-3， Beclin1， LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ and P62 in BAC low-dose group as well as all target mRNA and protein expression in BAC high-dose group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， in dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS： BAC can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of A549 cells， promote Beclin1， LC3（LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ），Bax and Caspase-3 （Active Caspase-3） gene and their protein expression， but inhibit P62 and Bcl-2 gene and their protein expression. The mechanism may be related to BAC inducing apoptosis by promoting excessive autophagy of cells.

The fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial 2 h blood glucose (PBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) before and after treatment were evaluated. The structure and quantity of intestinal flora before and after treatment were detected. The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom was scored. The levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured before and after treatment. Result: FBG, PBG, HbA1c and HOMA-IR levels in observation group were lower than those in control group (PPPPβ, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α levels in observation group were lower than those in control group (PZ=2.134, PConclusion: Shenqi compound can regulate blood glucose and blood lipid in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM (Qi and Yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome), improve IR, intestinal microecology imbalance, and reduce non-specific inflammatory response, with a good clinical efficacy on intestinal microecology of patients with Qi and Yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Correlation analysis between CXC chemokine receptor 6 and prognosis of renal clear cell carcinoma / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective@#To investigate the correlation between CXC chemokine receptor 6 (CXCR6) and prognosis of renal clear cell carcinoma.@*Methods@#A total of 100 patients with renal clear cell carcinoma who underwent surgery in the First People's Hospital of Ziyang from January 2013 to October 2014 were selected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of CXCR6 in 100 cases of renal clear cell carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues. The patients were followed up to observe the positive rate of CXCR6 expression and the factors affecting overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of renal clear cell carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues.@*Results@#The positive rate of CXCR6 expression in renal clear cell carcinoma tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues, and the difference was statistically significant [46.0% (46/100) vs. 20.0% (20/100), χ2 = 15.287, P < 0.01]. The positive expression rate of CXCR6 in patients with clinical stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, lymph node metastasis and pathological grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ was higher than that in patients with clinical stage Ⅰ- Ⅱ, pathological grade Ⅰ- Ⅱ and without lymph node metastasis, and the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.05). A total of 92 patients were followed up and 40 died. The follow-up time reached to (35-60) months and the median follow-up time was 48.9 months. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank test showed that patients with positive CXCR6 expression had lower 3-year OS and PFS rate compared with patients with negative CXCR6 expression, and the difference was statistically significant (3-year OS rate: 52.1% vs. 78.6%, χ2 = 10.027, P = 0.001; 3-year PFS rate: 48.3% vs. 67.8%, χ2 = 4.344, P = 0.037). Cox regression multivariate analysis showed pathological grade (OS: OR = 2.154, 95% CI 1.547-9.517, P = 0.023; PFS: OR = 1.235, 95% CI 1.109-5.917, P = 0.042), lymph node metastasis (OS: OR = 1.412, 95% CI 1.109-5.917, P = 0.041; PFS: OR = 1.841, 95% CI 1.354-8.994, P = 0.010), CXCR6 expression (OS: OR = 1.864, 95% CI 1.358-6.813, P = 0.031; PFS: OR = 1.457, 95% CI 1.127-6.884,P = 0.025) were independent risk factors of OS and PFS for renal clear cell carcinoma patients treated by the surgery.@*Conclusions@#The positive expression of CXCR6 is an independent risk factor for OS and PFS of renal clear cell carcinoma. The prognosis of patients with positive CXCR6 expression is poor.

Serological Characteristics of Patients with Autoimmune Hemoly-tic Anemia and Efficacy and Safety of Incompatible Transfusion of Red Blood Cells / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the serological characteristics of patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia（AIHA） and analyze its clinical efficacy and safety of incompatible red blood cell transfusion.@*METHODS@#Sixty AIHA patients admitted in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2018 were selected. The blood type serological characteristics of 60 patients were analyzed retrospectively. According to the type of autoantibody and the composition of different red blood cells, the efficacy and safety of erythrocyte infusions were evaluated respectively.@*RESULTS@#The screen results of irregular antibody in 60 AIHA patients were positive, and the direct anti-human globulin test also was positive, including 8 cases of cold autoantibodies (13.33%), 49 cases of IgG warm autoantibodies (81.67%), and 3 cases of warm cold double autoantibodies (5%). The irregular anti-body identification test confirmed the existence of homoantiboby in 17 cases (28.33%). Out of 60 cases 34 received incompatible red blood cell (RBC) infusion for 108 time including ABO homotype non washing RBC (81 tirnes) and O type washing RBC (27 times). The infusion results showed that the total [JP2]effective rate was 57.41(62/108), total partial effective rate was 14.81% (16/108) and total ineffective rate was 27.78% (30/108).The infusion of ABO homotype non-washing RBC for 81 time showed that the effective rate was 58.02%[JP] (47/81) , partial effective rate was 12.35 (10/81) and ineffective rate was 29.67% (24/81); the infusion of O type washing RBC for 27 times showed that the effective rate was 55.56% (15/27), partial effective rate was 22.22% (6/27) and ineffective rate was 22.22% (6/27), there was no significant difference in effective rate between 2 kinds of infusion (P>0.05). The comparison of different antibody type infusion showed that in the infusion of IgM cold autoantiboay for 12 times, the effective rate was 41.67% (5/12), partial effective rate was 33.33% (4/12) and ineffective rate was 25% (3/12); in the infusion of IgG warm antoantibody for 93 times. The effective rate was 58.06% (54/93),partial effective rate was 12.90% (12/93) and ineffective rale was 29.04% (27/93), there was also no significant difference in effective rate between 2 kinds of infusion(P>0.05). However, in infusion of cold/warm double autoantibody for 3 times, the effective rate was 100% (3/3), moreover, the hemotytic reaction of infusion was not observed during the treatment .@*CONCLUSION@#The infusion of ABO homotype non-washing RBC and O type washing RBC both possess the high safely and efficacy for treatment of patients with AIHA, but the use of ABO homotype non-washing RBC can effectively avoid the excessive use of O type washing RBC.
