Research progress on the role of non-coding RNA in chemotherapy resistance of osteosarcoma / 中华骨科杂志

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. With the emergence of chemotherapy resistance in recent years, the survival rate of osteosarcoma patients has reached a bottleneck. Therefore, exploration of its chemoresistance mechanism is one of the popular research directions currently. Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is a class of RNA without the ability to encode proteins, which is classified into microRNA, long non-coding RNA, and circular RNA based on length and shape. With the development of high-throughput sequencing technology, there is increasing evidence that some non-coding RNAs are abnormally upregulated or downregulated in osteosarcoma cells and affect the response of osteosarcoma to four commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs (methotrexate, doxorubicin, cisplatin and ifosfamide) through mechanisms such as regulation of apoptosis, cell cycle, signaling pathways, intracellular drug concentration, and cellular autophagy. Therefore, thesenon-coding RNAs are expected to be novel targets for osteosarcoma treatment. In this paper, the current studies were searched and reviewed on the above three non-coding RNAs mediating chemoresistance in osteosarcoma, aiming to provide a reference for breaking the bottleneck of survival rate of osteosarcoma patients.

Microsurgery for ruptured intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula: a retrospective case series of 8 patients / 国际脑血管病杂志

Objective:To investigate the emergency surgical effect of ruptured intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF).Methods:Patients with ruptured intracranial DAVF underwent microsurgery in the Department of Neurosurgery, Nanping First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from May 2013 to July 2022 were retrospectively included. The clinical, imaging and follow-up data were collected, and the clinical characteristics, selection of surgical methods and treatment effects of patients were summarized.Results:A total of 8 patients with DAVF were enrolled. Their age ranged from 11 to 60 years (average, 48 years). There were 7 males and 1 female. All 8 patients suffered from intracranial hemorrhage, manifested as headache and vomiting in 2 cases, simple conscious disturbance in 2 cases, conscious disturbance with cerebral hernia in 3 cases, and conscious disturbance with limb paralysis in 1 case. The fistula was located in the anterior fossa in 4 cases (including 2 cases with aneurysms), the middle fossa in 2 cases (including 1 case with moyamoya disease), the transverse sinus in 1 case, and the anterior 1/3 area of the sagittal sinus in 1 case. Cognard classification: 7 patients were type Ⅲ and 1 was type Ⅳ. After admission, all patients underwent emergency craniotomy and microsurgery to remove hematoma. Among them, 4 patients underwent decompressive craniectomy at the same time, 1 patient with moyamoya disease underwent dural turnover and temporalis muscle application at the same time, and 2 patients with aneurysms at the same location were clipped at the same time. Postoperative re-examination of head CT showed that the hematoma was cleared satisfactorily and the midline was no shift in all 8 patients. CT angiography (CTA) showed that the fistula disappeared within 2 weeks. Seven patients were followed up within 1-12 months after operation. CTA or digital subtraction angiography showed no recurrence of DAVF. Two patients with aneurysms did not have residual or recurrent aneurysms. All patients had no new neurological symptoms, and the Glasgow Outcome Scale score in 2 patients increased by 1 compared with that at discharge.Conclusion:Emergency microsurgery is an effective method for the treatment of ruptured intracranial DAVF, especially for patients with special parts or complicated hematoma, cerebral hernia, and other vascular diseases.

Role of Toll-like receptors in human papillomavirus infection-caused cervical cancer / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is a well-defined etiology of cervical cancer, but not all HR-HPV infections lead to cervical cancer, indicating that many factors are involved in the regulation of HR-HPV pathogenicity. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of pattern recognition receptors that specifically recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to provoke host innate and adaptive immunity against viruses. Relevant studies have shown that HR-HPV alters the local immune microenvironment by regulating the expression and signaling pathways of TLRs, leading to persistent infection with HR-HPV as well as cervical cancer. This review summarized and discussed the immune function and possible pathogenesis of TLRs in HPV infection-caused cervical cancer and the application of TLRs agonists in HPV vaccines.

Expert Concensus on Triune Personalized Treatment of Pelvic Tumor Based on Three-Dimensional Printing / 医用生物力学

The adjacent anatomy of the pelvis is complicated, with digestive, urinary, reproductive and other organs as well as important blood vessels and nerves. Therefore, accurate resection of pelvic tumors and precise reconstruction of defects after resection are extremely difficult. The development of medical 3D printing technology provides new ideas for precise resection and personalized reconstruction of pelvic tumors. The “triune” application of 3D printing personalized lesion model, osteotomy guide plate and reconstruction prosthesis in pelvic tumor limb salvage reconstruction treatment has achieved good clinical results. However, the current lack of normative guidance standards such as preparation and application of 3D printing personalized lesion model, osteotomy guide plate and reconstruction prosthesis restricts its promotion and application. The formulation of this consensus provides normative guidance for 3D printing personalized pelvic tumor limb salvage reconstruction treatment.

Therapeutic effect of group sandplay on children with autism spectrum disorder / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the effect of group sandplay therapy on children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD).Methods:Ninety children with ASD of Zhuang nationality were randomly divided into individual sandplay group, parent-child sandplay group and peer sandplay group, with 30 cases in each group. All the children were taught by the method of applied behavior analysis (ABA). Individual sandplay group was added with individual sandplay therapy, parent-child sandplay group was added with parent-child group sandplay therapy, and peer sandplay group was added with peer group sandplay therapy. Autism Behavior Checklist(ABC), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), Psycho-educational Profile for Autistic and Developmentally Disabled Children Version 3(PEP-3), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and Assessment of Changes in Behavioural Trends were used to evaluate the efficacy before and after treatment for 6 months. SPSS 24.0 software was used for F test, paired t test and nonparametric test for statistical analysis. Results:After intervention, the scores of social interaction(16.90±2.14, 16.56±1.87), sports(20.60±2.43, 20.10±2.25), self-care(16.90±2.14, 16.93±2.30), ABC (97.53±7.18, 96.57±6.61)and CARS(36.10±2.29, 36.10±2.45) in parent-child and peer sandplay group were significantly different from those((19.43±3.22), (22.77±2.24), (19.87±3.60), (108.23±7.59), (37.80±2.92)) in individual sandplay group ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in the efficacy of imitation (76.67%, 80.00%), social interaction (83.33%, 86.67%) and emotional expression (80.00%, 83.36%) between parent-child and peer sandplay group and individual sandplay group ( P<0.05). The scores of social cognition(16.07±3.20, 17.07±2.26), social communication(31.43±3.84, 33.20±3.64), autism behavior(23.90±3.60, 25.93±4.57)and SRS(101.97±9.81, 107.57±8.20)in parent-child and peer sandplay group were significantly different from those((18.17±3.05), (36.53±4.03), (27.90±5.22), (117.07±10.09))in individual sandplay group ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in the number of eye contact((2.26±0.78)times/unit, (2.33±0.80))times/unit) and physical contact((2.27±0.78))times/unit, (2.33±0.80))times/unit) between parent-child and peer sandplay group and the number((1.70±0.79))times/unit, (1.83±0.77))times/unit) of individual sandplay group( P<0.05). Conclusions:Group sandplay can significantly improve the social interaction of Zhuang children with autism spectrum disorder than individual sandplay.However, peer group sandplay has the same effect on language and social motivation, and parent-child group sandplay has the same effect on sensory ability and social perception as individual sandplay.

Mid-long-term effect of only placed expandable Interbody fusion cage in the treatment of lumbar spinal Stenosis with vertebral instability using micro-endoscopic Discectomy system / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: The incidence of lumbar spinal stenosis with vertebral instability is increasing year by year, which can cause symptoms such as waist and leg pain, lower limbs feeling numbness and intermittent claudication. In recent years, scholars have tried various minimally invasive treatment methods to further reduce the trauma and complications of surgery. The improvement of the clinical effect of minimally invasive surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis with vertebral instability is an important issue to be solved. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the mid-long-term effect of only placed expandable interbody fusion cage in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis with vertebral instability using micro-endoscopic discectomy system. METHODS: A retrospective, self-control clinical trial was conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 2012 to 2014. Totally 35 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis combined with vertebral instability were treated by only placed expandable interbody fusion cage using micro-endoscopic discectomy system. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) All 35 patients were followed-up for 60-85 months, mean (70.17±5.40) months. Among these patients, lumbar interbody fusion in 1 segment, 2 segments and 3 segments was performed in 6, 20 and 9 cases, respectively. A total of 73 intervertebral spaces were fused. (2) The mean operation time was 53.49±9.13 minutes (range, 35-75 minutes). The mean blood loss was 114.86±54.23 mL (range, 50-250 mL). (3) Dural rupture occurred in one case during operation and then hypotensive cranial pressure headache occurred after operation. Headache gradually eased after the patient received rehydration and analgesic treatment for 3 days. Poor incision healing occurred in one case after operation and then healed well after one-week vacuum sealing drainage technique. (4) The Visual Analogue Scale scores, Oswestry Disability Index, and height of intervertebral space were significantly decreased at 1 week, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years after surgery and the final follow-up compared to the preoperative ones. At 6 months after the operation, 31(42.5%) intervertebral spaces reached a strong fusion, 25(34.2%) possible fusion, and 17(23.3%) did not reach fusion. At 1 year after surgery, 51(69.9%) intervertebral spaces achieved a strong fusion and 22(30.1%) achieved possible fusion. At 2 years after surgery, 57(78.1%) intervertebral spaces achieved a strong fusion and 16(21.9%) achieved possible fusion. During final follow-up, 62(84.9%) intervertebral spaces achieved a strong fusion and 11(15.1%) achieved possible fusion. (5) At the last follow-up, cage migration was found in one case. The patient was not treated because of symptomless. (6) Unilateral approach only placed expandable interbody fusion cage by using micro-endoscopic discectomy system is a safe and reliable minimally surgical method, which has a good mid-long-term effect on lumbar spinal stenosis with vertebral instability.

METHODS: A total of 137 patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy complicated with hyperuricemia selected from our hospital during Jan. 2014-Jun. 2016 were divided into group A (46 cases), B (47 cases), C (44 cases) according to random number table. On the basis of routine treatment, group A was given Allopurinol tablets orally with initial dose of 0. 05 g, bid; increasing to 0. 10 g, bid, 2 weeks later. Group B was given Benzbromarone tablets 50 mg orally, qd. Group C was given Febuxostat tablets orally with initial dose of 40 mg, qd; increasing to 80 mg, qd, 2 weeks later. All patients received treatment for consecutive 12 weeks. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed, and the levels of serum uric acid (SUA), Scr and BUN were also observed before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS: Four, six, three patients withdrew from the study in group A, B, C, respectively. The total response rates of group B, C (87. 8％, 85. 4％) were significantly higher than that of group A (76. 2％), with statistical significance (P＜0. 05); there was no statistical significance between group B and C (P＞0. 05). Before treatment, there was no statistical significance in the levels of SUA, Scr or BUN among 3 groups (P＞0. 05). Four weeks after treatment, the levels of SUA in 3 groups were decreased significantly compared to before treatment, with statistical significance (P＜0. 05); there was no statistical significance in other indexes among 3 groups or between before and after treatment (P＞0. 05). Twelve weeks after treatment, the levels of SUA in 3 groups were decreased significantly compared to before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment, and group B and C were significantly lower than group A; the levels of Scr in group A and C were decreased significantly compared to before treatment, while that of group B was increased significantly compared to before treatment and group B was significantly higher than group A and C, with statistical significance (P＜0. 05). There was no statistical significance in the levels of Scr or BUN among 3 groups compared to 4 weeks after treatment; there was also no statistical significance in the levels of SUA between group B and C, the levels of Scr between group A and C (P＞0. 05). Total incidence of ADR in group C (12. 20％) was significantly lower than group A and B (25. 58％, 24. 39％), with statistical significance (P＜0. 05); there was no statistical significance between group A and B (P＞0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: Febuxostat is better than allopurinol in reducing the level of SUA in type 2 diabetic nephropathy patients with hyperuricemia. It shows small effect on renal function with better safety.

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoid in initial treatment of sudden hearing loss with intratympanic (IT) and systemic ways.@*METHOD@#We searched the database of PubMed, Cochrane, Embase,CBM, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang systematically. Literatures were screened according to the preestablished inclusion and exclusion standards,and all the RCT literatures associated with intratympanic and systemic glucocorticoid in the initial treatment of sudden hearing loss before may 2015 were collected. All the data, which meet the inclusion standards, were analyzed by using Meta-analysis software.@*RESULT@#Among all the qualified literatures, 11 randomized controlled trials were included. A total of 1298 cases were involved, including 521 cases with intratympanic administration, 410 with IV-therapy, and 201 with oral therapy. Meta analysis results showed that there was significant difference of the total effective rate and improvement rate between the intratympanic and systemic administration. Intratympanic injection (P > 0.05) was more effective than systemic administration. There was no significant difference between intratympanic group and oral group (RR = 1.15, 95% CI: 0.92-1.42, P > 0.05). A significant difference of the effective rate occurred between intratympanic group and IV therapy group (RR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.02-1.34, P < 0.05). The major complications of intratympanic were pain, dizziness/vertigo, which occurred more frequently than systemic therapy group; The major complications of systemic therapy group were hyperglycaemia, loss of appetite and insomnia.@*CONCLUSION@#This study shows that the intratympanic (IT) glucocorticoid for sudden deafness is more effective than the systemic administration. But it was not the first choice in clinical treatment. Further studies are warranted.

Recent progress in studying type 2 diabetes mellitus and tumor risk / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

[Summary] During recent years, increasing evidences have indicated that type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) might increase the risk of certain tumors; the process might be not only related with the chronic pathologic status of T2DM such as hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, status of chronic inflammation but also associated with the long-term use of anti-diabetic drugs (i. e. sulfonylureas, biguanides, glitazones, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptitide-1 receptor agonists), as well as the use of insulin and insulin analogues. Herewith a system review was made about the recent progress in studying T2DM and tumor risk.

Receptor tyrosine kinases in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma / 国际肿瘤学杂志

Osteosarcoma and ewing sarcoma are the two most common types of primary malignant bone tumors. Receptor tyrosine kinases(RTKs),including varieties of cell growth factors and proto-oncogene pro-ducts,are the high-affinity cell surface receptors which play an important role in the normal physiological func-tion of cells. A large number of studies have demonstrated that the abnormal RTKs signaling pathways may pro-mote the tumorigenesis and development of osteosarcoma and ewing sarcoma by affecting tumor cell survival, proliferation,invasion and metastasis. Targeting treatment of RTKs is a promising therapeutic approach for osteosarcoma and ewing sarcoma.
