Associations of all-cause mortality with admission blood pressure variability during multiple hospitalizations in acute decompensated heart failure / 中华心血管病杂志

Objective: To investigate whether admission blood pressure (BP) variability during multiple hospitalizations is associated with all-cause mortality independent of baseline BP in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods: Patients with ADHF admitted to the Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from September 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively enrolled. The risk of all-cause mortality associated with indices of BP variability, including mean admission BPs, standard deviation of BP and coefficient of variation of BP during multiple hospitalizations was assessed, using Cox regression model. Results: A total of 1 006 ADHF patients (mean aged (69.3±13.5) years; 411 (40.8%) female; 670 (66.6%) with preserved ejection fraction) were enrolled. During a median follow-up of 1.54 years, 47.0% of patients died. In all ADHF patients, after adjusting for confounding factors, for every 1-standard deviation (SD) increase in SD and coefficient of variation (CV) of systolic BP, the risk of all-cause mortality increased by 10% and 11%, respectively (SD: HR, 1.10, 95%CI, 1.01-1.21, P=0.029, CV: HR, 1.11, 95%CI, 1.02-1.21, P=0.017); for every 1-SD increase in the mean of diastolic BP, the risk of all cause mortality decreased by 25% (HR, 0.75; 95%CI, 0.65-0.87; P<0.001). In ADHF patients with preserved ejection fraction, after accounted for potential confounders, higher SD and CV of admitted systolic and diastolic BP were significantly associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality, regardless of whether confounding factors were adjusted (P≤0.049); After adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of all-cause mortality increased by 18% and 19% for every 1-SD increase in SD and CV of systolic BP, while the risk of all-cause mortality increased by 11% and 15% for every 1-SD increase in SD and CV of diastolic BP. In ADHF patients with reduced ejection fraction, after adjusting for confounding factors, the higher the mean admission systolic BP during multiple hospitalizations, the lower the risk of total mortality (HR, 0.68; 95%CI, 0.47-1.00; P=0.049). Conclusions: In patients with ADHF, independent of baseline BP, BP variability during multiple hospitalizations was strong predictor of all-cause mortality.

Effect of Banxia Xiexintang-containing Serum on Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition of Peritoneal Mesothelial Cells Induced by Gastric Cancer-derived Exosomes / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of Banxia Xiexintang on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） of human peritoneal mesothelial cell line （HMrSV5） induced by gastric cancer-derived exosomes （Exo）. Method:Banxia Xiexintang-containing serum was prepared and the human gastric cancer NCI-N87-derived exosomes （NCI-N87-Exo） were extracted， followed by their identification by transmission electron microscopy and Western blotting and labeling with 1，1-dioctadecyl-3，3，3，3- tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate （Dil）. The cells were divided into the blank group， model group， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （13.5，27，54 g·kg^-1） Banxia Xiexintang groups. HMrSV5 cells in the blank group were cultured alone， the ones in the model group with 100 mg·L^-1 NCI-N87-Exo， and those in the low-， medium-， and high-dose Banxia Xiexintang groups with 100 mg·L^-1 NCI-N87-Exo plus low-， medium-， and high-dose 10% Banxia Xiexintang-containing serum， respectively. Confocal laser microscope was used to observe the uptake of NCI-N87-Exo by HMrSV5 cells at 24 h， 48 h and 72 h. Seventy-two hours later， the morphological changes in HMrSV5 cells were observed. The protein expression levels of E-cadherin， cytokeratin 19 （CK19）， <italic>α</italic>-smooth muscle actin （<italic>α</italic>-SMA）， elastin， and transforming growth factor-<italic>β</italic>₁ （TGF-<italic>β</italic>₁）， Smad2/3， and p-Smad2/3 were assayed by Western blot. Result:It was observed under the transmission electron microscope that NCI-N87-Exo showed an oval or dish-shaped vesicle structure with a particle size ranging from 40 to 80 nm. Exo marker proteins CD9 and CD63 were highly expressed while calreticulin was not expressed， implying that the NCI-N87-Exo was confirmed. After 24 h， 48 h， 72 h of co-culture， it was observed under the fluorescence microscope that NCI-N87-Exo were taken up by HMrSV5 cells， which was positively correlated with time. Compared with the blank group， Banxia Xiexintang significantly inhibited the uptake of NCI-N87-Exo by HMrSV5 cells， with better effect noticed in the middle- and high-dose Banxia Xiexintang groups（<italic>P</italic><0.05，<italic>P</italic><0.01）. After intervention with Banxia Xiexintang-containing serum， the HMrSV5 cells were arranged densely， and the intercellular space was significantly reduced， with the most obvious changes present in the high-dose Banxia Xiexintang group. Western blot revealed that the protein expression levels of E-cadherin and CK19 in HMrSV5 cells after being intervened with the medium- and high-dose Banxia Xiexintang-containing serum were increased significantly as compared with those in the blank group， whereas the levels of <italic>α</italic>-SMA and Elastin were decreased significantly （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. Banxia Xiexintang-containing serum at the low， medium， and high doses remarkably down-regulated TGF-<italic>β</italic>₁ and p-Smad2/3 protein expression（<italic>P</italic><0.05，<italic>P</italic><0.01）. However， there was no significant change in Smad2/3. Conclusion:NCI-N87-Exo can be taken up by HMrSV5 cells to induce EMT. Banxia Xiexintang can inhibit the uptake of NCI-N87-Exo by HMrSV5 cells and the resulting EMT induced by NCI-N87-Exo， which is related to the regulation of TGF-<italic>β</italic>₁/Smads signaling pathway.

Clinical application of percutaneous ultrasonography-guided gallbladder polyp biopsy and radiofrequency ablation: a primary study / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective:To analyze the feasibility and efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy and radiofrequency ablation of gallbladder polyps.Methods:From April 2019 to January 2021, 25 patients with gallbladder polyps underwent ultrasound-guided biopsy and radiofrequency ablation in the ultrasound department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were collected, the maximum diameter of the lesion was 11.00(10.00, 12.50)mm. Under general anesthesia, ultrasound-guided injection of water into the gallbladder serosa layer was performed to make the gallbladder edema thicker than or equal to 10 mm. Percutaneous biopsy and radiofrequency ablation of gallbladder polyps were performed to ablate the gallbladder mucosa layer of polyps and polyp attachment.Intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used to evaluate the need for supplementary ablation.The operation time, intraoperative and postoperative conditions were recorded. The complete ablation rate of gallbladder polyps, the reduction rate of lesion volume after ablation, the incidence of complications and the effect of operation on gallbladder wall thickness and gallbladder contraction rate were evaluated.Results:Biopsy and radiofrequency ablation of gallbladder polyps were successfully performed in 25 patients.There were 14 cases of cholesterol polyp, 5 cases of adenoma, 5 cases of inflammatory polyp and 1 case of gallbladder adenomyosis. Twenty-nine gallbladder polyps showed changes after ablation, and the lesion volume was reduced to varying degrees. In the first, third and sixth months, the volume reduction rates of ablation focus were 70.74%(58.55%, 77.56%), 89.47%(85.04%, 96.87%) and 100%(95.68%, 100%) respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in gallbladder wall thickness and gallbladder contraction rate before and 1 month after operation ( P>0.05). The operation time was 14-39(23.32±6.68)min. During the operation, 3 patients(12.0%) had a decrease in heart rate, 2 patients(8.0%) had mild abdominal pain and 1 patient(4.0%) had obvious abdominal pain, which was relieved after treatment. No bleeding, gallbladder perforation, abdominal infection and other complications occurred. All patients were followed up for 1 to 22 months, with a median of 6 (3, 7) months. No patients were lost or follow-up, polyp recurrence, or new polyps, or secondary gallstone. Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided biopsy and radiofrequency ablation of gallbladder polyps is a feasible choice for gallbladder preserving treatment of gallbladder polyps with low complication rate.

Advances in snake venom studies: from lethal toxins to new drug development / 药学学报

Snake bite is a common acute and severe disease in tropical and subtropical regions, and its public health importance has been largely neglected. Snake venom is a complex mixture of active proteins, polypeptides, and other toxins. Many of these components can target multiple ion channels, cell receptors, and membrane transporters. Compared with traditional small molecule drugs, the proteins and polypeptides from snake venom have stronger specificity and affinity to targets and are especially suitable for novel drug design. The current studies show that snake venom and its components have great potential for development as leading compounds of new drugs. In this paper, the recent advances in main components, toxic effects, and detoxification strategies of snake venom, as well as its pharmacological activities and medical application are reviewed. The aim is to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of snake bite and development of new drugs based on snake venom.

"Research advances in ""treatment resistance"" of non-operative therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma" / 复旦学报（医学版）

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has the characteristics of high malignancy and poor prognosis.Liver transplantation and hepatectomy are applied in a small portion of patients with localized disease.Due to the hidden onset,HCC is usually diagnosed at an intermediate-advanced stage or with advancing cirrhosis.In most cases,various non-operative treatments are applied,including transarterial chemoembolization (TACE),local ablation,radiotherapy and molecular targeted drugs.The therapeutic effect of non-surgical treatments is not always ideal because the incidence of recurrence and metastasis after treatment is high.It also may be associated with treatment resistance of HCC to non-operative treatments.Optimizing the current management schemes has great significance in improving patients' quality of life and prolonging their survival.
