Effect of gut microbiota homeostasis on hematopoiesis in a neonatal rat model of necrotizing enterocolitis / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To study the effect of gut microbiota on hematopoiesis in a neonatal rat model of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).@*METHODS@#Neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group and a model group (NEC group), with 6 rats in each group. Formula milk combined with hypoxia and cold stimulation was used to establish a neonatal rat model of NEC. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes of intestinal tissue and hematopoiesis-related organs. Routine blood tests were conducted for each group. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the changes in specific cells in hematopoiesis-related organs. Flow cytometry was used to measure the changes in specific cells in bone marrow. 16S rDNA sequencing was used to observe the composition and abundance of gut microbiota.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control group, the NEC group had intestinal congestion and necrosis, damage, atrophy, and shedding of intestinal villi, and a significant increase in NEC histological score. Compared with the control group, the NEC group had significantly lower numbers of peripheral blood leukocytes and lymphocytes (P<0.05), nucleated cells in the spleen, thymus, and bone marrow, and small cell aggregates with basophilic nuclei in the liver (P<0.05). The NEC group had significant reductions in CD71+ erythroid progenitor cells in the liver, CD45+ lymphocytes in the spleen and bone marrow, CD3+ T lymphocytes in thymus, and the proportion of CD45+CD3-CD43+SSChi neutrophils in bone marrow (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the composition of gut microbiota between the NEC and control groups, and the NEC group had a significant reduction in the abundance of Ligilactobacillus and a significant increase in the abundance of Escherichia-Shigella (P<0.05), which replaced Ligilactobacillus and became the dominant flora.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Multi-lineage hematopoietic disorder may be observed in a neonatal rat model of NEC, which may be associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis and abnormal multiplication of the pathogenic bacteria Escherichia-Shigella.

Application of the ultrasonic lithotripsy system in assisting nephroscopic retroperitoneal debridement in pancreatic necrosectomy / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To study the safety and efficacy of using the ultrasonic lithotripsy system (ULS) in assisting percutaneous nephroscopic retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) extending to both sides of the retroperitoneal regions.Methods:The clinical data of 47 patients with extensive ANP who underwent video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD) from January 2017 to October 2022 at the Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, were analyzed retrospectively. There were 32 males and 15 females, aged [ M( Q1, Q3)] 60(43, 75) years old. The patients were divided into two groups based on the debridement methods: patients treated by nephroscopic pancreatic necrosectomy (NPN) were included in the NPN group ( n=22), while patients treated by the ULS-assisted treatment were included in the ULS group ( n=25). The surgical debridement time, operation time and complications of the two groups were compared. Follow up on recurrence and death of patients was done by telephone, outpatient and/or re-hospitalization records. Results:All patients underwent the VARD operation successfully, without any need for conversion to laparotomy, transfer to intensive care unit and death related to the operations. The pancreatic exocrine function was not damaged in both groups. When compared with the ULS group, the NPN group required significantly more debridement time [3(2, 4) times/person vs. 2(1, 2) times/person], longer operation time [65(40, 85) min vs. 35(30, 50) min] and longer hospitalization time [91(76, 130) d vs. 72(62, 102) d, all P<0.05]. No complications occurred in the ULS group. In the NPN group, postoperative hemorrhage occurred in 3 patients, colon fistula in 1 patient, and delayed viral encephalitis in 1 patient. The incidence of postoperative complications in the NPN group was significantly higher than that in the ULS group [22.7%(5/22) vs. 0(0/25), P=0.032]. All the 47 patients with extensive ANP were followed up for a median of 28 months (range 3 to 60 months), and there were no patients who developed residual recurrence and death. Conclusion:For patients with extensive ANP, ULS-assisted nephroscopic pancreatic necrosectomy was safe and feasible. When compared with NPN, the ULS-assisted procedure showed more advantages in debridement efficiency, operation time and hospital stay.

Advances in surgical intervention timing and strategy for severe acute pancreatitis / 中华肝胆外科杂志

In the past century, the diagnosis and treatment of severe acute pancreatitis has repeatedly fluctuated between surgery and internal medicine. Through the joint efforts of many disciplines, a great breakthrough has been made. Initial fluid resuscitation, nutritional support, and prevention of pancreatitis related complications are currently the best treatment methods. Local complications may occur in patients with severe acute pancreatitis, including pancreatic pseudocysts and walled-off necrosis. Infected pancreatic necrosis is a fearful complication of severe acute pancreatitis. There has been a consensus on the " step-up" approach for the treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis, that is, percutaneous catheter drainage should be used first, and further surgical or endoscopic minimally invasive treatment should be taken for patients with poor drainage. And open surgery is no longer the preferred means of intervention. This article summarizes the progress of diagnosis and treatment of severe acute pancreatitis at home and abroad and shares the experience of the author's team in the diagnosis and treatment of severe acute pancreatitis.

Morphological analysis of mandibular anterior alveolar bone in high-angle adult females assessed with cone-beam computed tomography / 口腔疾病防治

Objective@#To investigate the features of alveolar bone morphology of mandibular central incisors in high-angle adult females using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and evaluate the influence of aging in these patients.@*Methods@# CBCT and lateral cephalometric images of 142 untreated adult female patients were selected and grouped by facial growth pattern. The number of high-angle cases was increased to 164 to further explore the difference within high-angle adult females who were divided into two groups according to age. The indexes of alveolar bone height and thickness in the lower incisor region and inclination of the lower incisors were measured by Dolphin software. The data was statistically analyzed.@*Results@#Compared with the average-angle group, the high-angle group had a lower alveolar bone attachment level (P < 0.05) and less bone thickness at the root apex level (P < 0.05). The thickness of lingual alveolar bone decreased with labial inclination of the lower incisors in both the high-angle and average-angle groups (r = -0.251, P = 0.025; r = -0.428, P = 0.001, respectively). In hyperdivergent female patients, the middle-aged group had a lower attachment level of alveolar bone than the young group (P < 0.05), but no significant difference in bone thickness at the root apex level (P > 0.05) was found between the two groups@*Conclusion @# High-angle adult females had thinner mandibular anterior alveolar bone with significantly lower attachment levels. Aging and inclination of lower incisors influenced bone morphology and should be taken into careful consideration.

Objective:To study the effect of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor- γ (PPAR-γ) agonists rosiglitazone on the hepatocytes of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and the regulatory mechanism.Methods:Seventy two healthy male SD rats, weighing 255-315 g, aged 49-56 days, were randomly divided into SAP model group ( n=24, SAP model preparation), rosiglitazone group ( n=24, rosiglitazone intravenous injection after SAP model preparation) and sham operation group ( n=24, normal saline injection only). After 6 h, 12h and 24 hours of injection, 8 rats were treated at each time point. HE staining was used to study the liver tissue structure and detect the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin (IL) -1β, IL-6, AST, ALT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the rats. Western blot was used to detect the expression of high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1), Janus activated kinase (JAK)2 and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3. Results:The levels of serum TNF-α , IL-1β, IL-6, AST, ALT, LDH in SAP model group and rosiglitazone group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group (all P<0.05). IL-1β at 6, 12h and 24 h in rosiglitazone group was (226.5±52.1)ng/L, (458.2±82.3)ng/L, (556.4±83.4) ng/L, ALT was (158. 3±39.2) U/L, (235.0±44.6)U/L, (298.4±56.6) U/L, which was lower than that in SAP model group (443. 5±62.3) ng/L, (622.6±78.3) ng/L, (789.1±105.7) ng/L and (198.4±42.5)U/L, (253.8±47.0)U/L, (337.2±60.1) U/L, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). AST and LDH in rosiglitazone group were also lower than those in SAP model group at each time point, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). HE staining showed that there were less inflammation, hemorrhage and necrosis in rosiglitazone group than those in SAP model group. Expression of STAT3 in liver of rosiglitazone group at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h was (0.22±0.03), (0.30±0.04), (0.31±0.06), lower than SAP model group (0. 28±0.04), (0.38±0.05), (0.40±0.06), the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Expression of JAK2 and HMGB1 in rosiglitazone group at 12 h and 24 h was also lower than that in SAP model group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:PPAR-γ agonists rosiglitazone can protect the SAP rats suffering from hepatocyte injury and inflammation, through JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Objective@#To investigate the effects of exogenous interleukin (IL)-35 on the balance of helper T cell 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cell (Treg) in peripheral blood of patients with oral lichen planus (OLP).@*Methods@#Totally 12 peripheral blood samples of OLP patients (OLP group, one male and 11 female, 26-68 years old; four cases of reticular OLP and eight cases of erosive OLP) were collected from patients of Department of Oral Mucosal Specialist of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from October to December 2016. During the same period, thirteen normal peripheral blood samples were collected from the Physical Examination Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University (normal control group, one male and 12 female, 20-68 years old). The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were extracted in sterile condition and CD4+ T cells were sorted by flow cytometry (FCM). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) technique was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of retinoid-related orphan nuclear γt (RORγt) and forkhead box3 (Foxp3). The CD4+ T cells were divided into experimental group and control group. The CD4+ T cells of experimental group were cultured in vitro by adding rhIL-35, and the CD4+ T cells of control group were cultured with the same volume of phosphate buffered saline (PBS). After the completion of the culture, the cells were collected. The expression levels of the same factors were detected by qPCR.@*Results@#The expression [M(Q25, Q75)] of Foxp3 [0.15 (0.09, 0.30)] and RORγt mRNA [1.04 (0.45, 2.15)] in the CD4+ T cells of OLP were significantly higher than those in normal control group [0.04 (0.02, 0.06), 0.10 (0.05, 0.11)] (Z=-4.134, P<0.01; Z=-3.699, P<0.01). The ratio of ROR γt/Foxp3 mRNA in OLP group [6.22(3.67, 15.34)] was higher than that in normal control group [2.50 (1.24, 5.23)] (Z=-2.665, P=0.007). In the CD4+ T cells of OLP patients, the expression of Foxp3 mRNA in the experiment group [0.40 (0.21, 1.22)] was higher than that in the control group [0.15 (0.11, 0.26)](Z=-2.510, P=0.012), and the expression of ROR γt mRNA between two groups showed no significant difference (P>0.05). The ROR γt/Foxp3 mRNA ratio [3.44 (1.55, 8.16)] of the experiment group was lower than that in the control group [6.22 (4.43, 12.21)] (Z=-2.746, P=0.006).@*Conclusions@#There was a Th17/Treg imbalance with predominated by Th17 cells in the peripheral blood of patients with OLP. Exogenous rhIL-35 had an immunomodulatory effect on the balance of Th17/Treg.

Clinicopathological features and prognosis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy after renal transplantation / 中华器官移植杂志

Objective:To summarize the relationship between the clinicopathological features and prognosis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) after renal transplantation.Methods:A total of 34 patients with IgAN after renal transplantation confirmed by renal biopsy were enrolled. And another 34 patients with primary IgAN confirmed by initial renal biopsy were adopted as controls. Clinical and pathological features of two groups were compared to explore the relationship between clinicopathological features and prognosis of allograft IgAN.Results:As compared with primary IgAN group, renal function in allograft IgAN group included serum creatinine [(158.5±75.9) vs (84.8±26.8) umol/L], urea nitrogen [(9.7±6.1) vs (5.2±1.4) mmol/L], uric acid [(406.7±87.8) vs (359.0±92.6) umol/L], estimated glomerular filtration rate {(57.4±25.4) vs (91.2±28.6) [ml/(min·1.73m 2)]}. All were statistically significantly higher ( P<0.05) while other parameters showed no differences. Pathologically, the proportion of T1 type (50.0% vs 17.6%) of renal tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis was significantly higher in allograft IgAN group than control group ( P<0.05). Furthermore, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed between various pathological parameters and prognosis in allograft IgAN patients. It indicated that the degree of mesangial hyperplasia of patients with transplanted IgAN had a significantly negative impact on the prognosis. Conclusions:The clinicopathological features of patients with allograft IgAN show no difference from those of patients with primary IgAN. And among patients with allograft IgAN, those with severe mesangial hyperplasia often have a worse prognosis.

Nephroscopic pancreatic necrosectomy through sinus tracts of drains using a dual-scope necrosectomy approach without the need for anesthesia: a report on 17 patients / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To analyse the use of nephroscopic peripancreatic necrotic tissue removal through drainage tube sinus tracts without the use of anesthesia.Methods:The data of 17 patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) were treated from August 2016 to December 2019 at the Affiliated Hangzhou First People’s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were studied. There were 5 males and 12 females, age ranged from 24 to 80 years (mean 49.3 years). These 17 patients underwent nephroscopic pancreatic necrosis tissue removal through drainage tube sinus tracts of drains using a dual-scope necrosectomy approach without the use of any anesthesia. The surgical related and follow-up data were analysed.Results:Of 17 patients who underwent pancreatic necrosis removal as the first operation, one underwent a further postoperative nephroscopic resection without anesthesia, while 10 patients underwent three nephroscopic resections without anesthesia, and 6 patients underwent four nephroscopic resections without anesthesia. The operative durations of nephroscopic resection without anesthesia was 26 to 37 min. All patients had smooth surgical procedures and they were fed on the same day after surgery. There were no postoperative complications on follow-up after discharge from hospital for 1 to 40 months.Conclusion:Transcatheter sinusoidal nephroscopic pancreatic necrotic tissue removal without anesthesia was safe. There was no need for fasting. The procedure is minimally invasive and it can be repeated, especially for those patients who cannot tolerate any form of anesthesia. This is the least invasive procedure for treatment of SAP.

Alternative donor HSCT for 109 children with acquired severe aplastic anemia: a single center retrospective analysis / 中华血液学杂志

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of alternative donor (AD) in the treatment of aplastic anemia (AA) in children. Methods: The clinical data of AA children who received AD HSCT in our center from Apr. 2010 to Dec. 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival (OS) rate, implant success rate, incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were statistically analyzed. Results: A total of 109 children with acquired AA, including 64 severe AA (SAA) , 32 very severe AA (VSAA) and 13 transfusion dependent non-severe AA (NSAA) , were recruited in this retrospective AD HSCT study, the median age was 6 (0.8-18) years old. Of them, 44 patients with 10/10 matched unrelated donor (MUD) , 44 patients with mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) and 21 patients with mismatched related donor (MMRD) . All patients did not receive ATG before HSCT and the active infection was excluded. Except 3 patients suffered from a second graft failure (2 of them rescued by second HSCT) , 106/109 (97.2%) were engrafted with neutrophil and platelet recovery occurring at a median of 13 days (range, 9-19) and 16 days (range, 10-81) post-transplant. Until day 100 post transplantation, the incidence was 74.3% (81/109) for acute GVHD (aGVHD) and 39.4% (43/109) for grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD, 30.7% (31/101) and 9.9% (10/101) for overall chronic GVHD (cGVHD) and moderate cGVHD, respectively, and nobody developed an extend cGVHD. After median follow up of 39 (0.7-103) months for all patients, 13 of 109 patients died. The estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) of the entire cohort was 88.1% (95%CI 81.1%-91.4%) with no difference among the MUD, MMUD and MMRD cohort (93.2%, 84.1% and 85.7%, respectively, P=0.361) . Conclusion: These excellent outcomes suggest that unmanipulated AD PBSC is a good HSCT source for children with SAA. It's reasonable to consider AD HSCT as first line therapy for SAA children without matched sibling donor. Better strategies are required to prevent GVHD.

Mechanisms of pyroptosis induced by meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in macrophages / 国际药学研究杂志

Objective: To evaluate the effect of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)on the pyroptosis of bone-marrow derived macrophages(BMDM)and investigate the mechanism of MRSA-induced pyroptosis in macrophages. Methods: The BMDM were triggered by the combination of lipopolysaccharide(LPS, 100 ng/ml)with adenosine-triphosphate(ATP, 3 mmol/L)or nigericin(Ng, 10 mmol/L)or treated with MRSA(multiplicity of infection 200, MOI 200)alone to induce pyroptosis in vitro. The cell morphology examination and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)assay were applied to evaluate the cytotoxicity. The expression of pro- inflammatory cytokines, the interleukin(IL)- 1β, IL- 6 and tumor-necrosis factor(TNF)-α was detected by ELISA. The cleaved caspase-1 and mature IL-1β in the cells and released into the supernatant were detected by Western blotting. The signal pathway for the induction of pyroptosis by MRSA was investigated via the transfection of lentivirus- mediated short- hairpin RNA(shRNA)into the BMDM. Results: The treatment of BMDM with LPS/ATP, LPS/nigericin or MRSA alone caused cytotoxicity and up-regulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, as well as the caspase-1 activation and mature Zl-1β (P<0.01). After silencing NLRP3 or NLRC4, the expression of IL-1β induced by MRSA was significantly lessened(P< 0.01). Conclusion: MRSA could induce BMDM pyroptosis probably via activating NLRP3 inflammasome or NLRC4 inflammasome.

Clinical and laboratory characteristics of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia / 中国当代儿科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the clinical and laboratory characteristics of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical characteristics and laboratory results were retrospectively analyzed in 10 children with newly diagnosed JMML. They were compared with those of 28 children with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 44 children with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the children with CML or MDS, the children with JMML had significantly higher rates of skin rashes, ecchymosis, and lymphadenectasis, a significantly lower serum cholinesterase (ChE) level, and a significantly higher fetal hemoglobin level (P<0.05). The white blood cell count of children with JMML was significantly higher than that of children with MDS, but significantly lower than that of children with CML (P<0.05). In addition, the myeloid/erythroid ratio and rate of dyshaematopoiesis were significantly lower in children with JMML than those in children with CML or MDS. The children with JMML had a significantly higher expression of mature monocyte marker CD14 than those with CML or MDS (P<0.05). The levels of myeloid markers CD33, CD11b, CD13, and CD15 in children with JMML were significantly higher than those in children with MDS, but significantly lower than those in children with CML (P<0.05). The levels of CD2 and CD7 in children with JMML were higher than those in children with CML, but lower than those in children with MDS (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Skin rashes, ecchymosis, lymphadenectasis, and ChE reduction are more common in children with JMML than in those with CML or MDS, while dyshaematopoiesis is less common. In addition, CD14 level increases significantly in children with JMML.</p>

Application effect of single port laparoscopic techniques in urology grassroots / 中国基层医药

Objective To explore the application effect of single port laparoscopic techniques in urology grassroots.Methods 60 patients with upper ureteral stones were randomly divided into observation group(using single port laparoscopic technique lithotripsy) and control group (30 cases with open surgery).The surgery time,blood loss,hospital stay,postoperative complications were compared between the two groups and the patients were followed up for three months,the clearance rate of stones and patients' satisfaction were observed.Results The operative time between the two groups had no significant difference(t=1.559,P>0.05).The blood loss of the observation group was significantly less than that of the control group[(128.3±10.32)mL vs.(76.4±9.65)mL],the difference was statistically significant(t=20.003,P<0.01),and the hospitalization time was shorter than that of the control group[(5.86±1.47)d vs.(7.95±1.53)d],the difference was statistically significant(t=5.395,P<0.01).The incidence rate of postoperative complications of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(6.7% vs.30.0%),the difference was statistically significant(x2=5.454,P<0.05).Followed up for 3 months,the ESWL rate(73.3% vs.96.7%) and satisfaction rate (100.0% vs.80.0%) in the observation group and the control group had statistically significant differences (x2=4.705,4.629,all P<0.05).Conclusion The single port laparoscopic technique lithotripsy in the treatment of upper ureteral stones has precise effect,less invasion,high ESWL rate,low complication rate and other advantages,and it is worthy of wide promotion.
