Clonotypic analysis of immunoglobulin heavy chain sequences among 44 patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia / 中华医学遗传学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the correlation between the mutational status of immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV) gene with the prognosis of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM).@*METHODS@#Immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGH) clonotypic sequence analysis was carried out to assess the mutational status of IGHV in the blood and/or bone marrow samples from 44 WM patients. The usage characteristics of IGHV-IGHD-IGHJ gene was explored.@*RESULTS@#The most common IGHV subgroup was IGHV3, which was similar to the data from the Institute of Hematology of Chinese Academy of Medical Science. IGHV3-23 (20.45% vs. 15.44%) and IGHV3-74 (11.36% vs. 7.35%) were the main fragments used, which was followed by IGHV4 gene family (15.91% vs. 24.26%). However, no significant correlation was found between the IGHV4 usage and the prognosis of the patients. Should 98% be taken as the cut-off value for the IGHV mutation status, only 5 patients had no IGHV variant, and there was no correlation with the prognosis. Based on the X-tile analysis, 92.6% was re-selected as the cut-off value for the IGHV variant status in such patients. LDH was increased in 26 patients (59.1%) without IGHV variant (P < 0.05), whilst progression-free survival (P < 0.05) and overall survival (P < 0.05) were significantly shorter compared with those with IGHV variants.@*CONCLUSION@#The usage characteristics of IGHV-IGHD-IGHJ in our patients was similar to reported by the Institute of Hematology of Chinese Academy of Medical Science, albeit that no correlation was found between the IGHV4 usage and the prognosis of the patients. Furthermore, 98% may not be appropriate for distinguishing the IGHV variant status in WM patients.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of goal-directed analgesia/sedation for improvement in the preoperative management of the patients with aortic dissection.Methods:One hundred and ten patients of either sex, aged≥18 yr, diagnosed with arterial dissection by aortic CTA in our hospital, were divided into 2 groups ( n=55 each) using a random number table method: conventional group and goal-directed analgesia/sedation group. Routine preoperative management was performed in both groups. Fentanyl 0.13 μg/min was intravenously infused, and the infusion rate of fentanyl was adjusted to maintain the numerical rating scale (NRS) score at 0-3 at rest in conventional group. Midazolam 0.02 mg·kg -1·h -1 and fentanyl 0.13 μg/min were intravenously infused, and the infusion rates of midazolam and fentanyl were adjusted to maintain Richmond agitation-sedation score at -2 to 0 and NRS score at rest 0-3 in goal-directed analgesia/sedation group. Nicardipine was intravenously injected and the administration rate was adjusted to maintain systolic blood pressure at 100-120 mmHg, and metoprolol was taken orally to maintain the heart rate 60-70 beats/min. The time to reach the target blood pressure and consumption of fentanyl and nicardipine within 24 h were recorded, and the occurrence of drug-related adverse reactions during analgesia and sedation and perioperative death were recorded. Results:Compared with conventional group, the time to reach the target blood pressure was significantly shortened, and the consumption of fentanyl and nicardipine within 24 h was decreased in goal-directed analgesia/sedation group ( P<0.05). No adverse reactions or perioperative death was observed in two groups. Conclusions:Goal-directed analgesia/sedation (Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale score -2-0, NRS score at rest 0-3) is helpful in controlling blood pressure and heart rate, thus improving the quality of preoperative management of patients with aortic dissection.

Advances in the microbial synthesis of aromatic fragrance molecules / 生物工程学报

Aromatic compounds make up a large part of fragrances and are traditionally produced by chemical synthesis and direct extraction from plants. Chemical synthesis depends on petroleum resources and has disadvantages such as causing environment pollutions and harsh reaction conditions. Due to the low content of aromatic compounds in plants and the low yield of direct extraction, plant extractions require large amounts of plant resources that occupy arable land. In recent years, with the development of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, microbial synthesis of aromatic compounds from renewable resources has become a promising alternative approach to traditional methods. This review describes the research progress on the synthesis of aromatic fragrances by model microorganisms such as Escherichia coli or yeast, including the synthesis of vanillin through shikimic acid pathway and the synthesis of raspberry ketone through polyketide pathway. Moreover, this review highlights the elucidation of native biosynthesis pathways, the construction of synthetic pathways and metabolic regulation for the production of aromatic fragrances by microbial fermentation.

In Vivo Detection of Lipid-Core Plaques by Coronary CT Angiography: A Head-to-Head Comparison with Histologic Findings

200 µm, a circumference > 60 degrees, and a cap thickness < 450 µm. The percentage distributions of CT pixel attenuation ≤ 20, 30, 40, and 50 HU were calculated using quantitative histogram analysis.RESULTS: A total of 271 transverse sections were co-registered between CCTA and pathological analysis. Overall, 26 lipid cores and 16 fibrous plaques were identified by pathological analysis. There was no significant difference in median CT attenuation between the lipid and fibrous plaques (51 HU [interquartile range, 46–63] vs. 57 HU [interquartile range, 50–64], p = 0.659). The median percentage of CT pixel attenuation ≤ 30 HU accounted for 11% (5–17) of lipid-core plaques and 0% (0–2) of fibrous plaques (p < 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of the method for diagnosing lipid plaques by the average CT pixel attenuation ≤ 30 HU were 80.8% and 87.5%, respectively. The area under the receiver operator characteristics curve was 0.898 (95% confidence interval: 0.765–0.970; 3.0% was the best cut-off value). The diagnostic performance was significantly higher than those of the average pixel CT attenuation percentages ≤ 20, 40, and 50 HU and the mean CT attenuation (p < 0.05).CONCLUSION: In in vivo conditions, with the pathological lipid core as the gold standard, quantification of the percentage of average CT pixel attenuation ≤ 30 HU in the histogram can be useful for accurate identification of lipid plaques.

Risk assessment of exported risk of novel coronavirus pneumonia from Hubei Province / 中华预防医学杂志

To evaluate the exported risk of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) from Hubei Province and the imported risk in various provinces across China. Data of reported NCP cases and Baidu Migration Indexin all provinces of the country as of February 14, 2020 were collected. The correlation analysis between cumulative number of reported cases and the migration index from Hubei was performed, and the imported risks from Hubei to different provinces across China were further evaluated. A total of 49 970 confirmed cases were reported nationwide, of which 37 884 were in Hubei Province. The average daily migration index from Hubei to other provinces was 312.09, Wuhan and other cities in Hubei were 117.95 and 194.16, respectively. The cumulative NCP cases of provinces was positively correlated with the migration index derived from Hubei province, also in Wuhan and other cities in Hubei, with correlation coefficients of 0.84, 0.84, and 0.81. In linear model, population migration from Hubei Province, Wuhan and other cities in Hubei account for 71.2%, 70.1%, and 66.3% of the variation, respectively. The period of high exported risk from Hubei occurred before January 27, of which the risks before January 23 mainly came from Wuhan, and then mainly from other cities in Hubei. Hunan Province, Henan Province and Guangdong Province ranked the top three in terms of cumulative imported risk (the cumulative risk indices were 58.61, 54.75 and 49.62 respectively). The epidemic in each province was mainly caused by the importation of Hubei Province. Taking measures such as restricting the migration of population in Hubei Province and strengthening quarantine measures for immigrants from Hubei Province may greatly reduce the risk of continued spread of the epidemic.

Da-Cheng-Qi Decoction () Combined with Lactobacillus Acidophilus Improves Gastrointestinal Function of Traumatic Brain-Injured Model Mice / 中国结合医学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effects of Da-Cheng-Qi Decoction (DCQD, ) combined with Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) on the recovery of gastrointestinal (GI) function in traumatic brain-injured (TBI) mice.@*METHODS@#A total of 150 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham-injury, normal saline (NS), DCQD (0.4 mL/day), LA (⩾1 × 10 cfu/day LA), DCQD+LA (LA administration at the same dosage after 4 h of feeding DCQD), and ½ DCQD+LA groups (LA administration at the same dosage after 4 h of feeding ½ DCQD dose) by a random number table, 5-8 mice in each group. The sever TBI model was constructed according to Feeney's enhanced gravitational forces of free falling. On days 1, 3, and 7 post-TBI, plasma diamine oxidase (DAO) and D-lactic acid levels were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Occludin expression in the intestinal epithelium was assessed by Western blot analysis. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe the morphological changes in the network structure of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and change of enteric nervous system-ICC-smooth muscle cell (ENS-ICC-SMC). Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect changes in the network structure of the ICC.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the NS group, occludin expression in the DCQD+LA group significantly increased on Day 1, 3, and 7 post-TBI (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The concentration of DAO significantly decreased in the LA, DCQD, and DCQD+LA groups on Day 3 and 7, whilst the D-lactate concentrations in the LA and ½ DCQD+LA groups decreased on Day 1 and 3 post-injury (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The NS group experienced a great damage on the ENS-ICC-SMC network morphology and ICC network structure, and all treatment groups had some improvements, among which the DCQD+LA group presented relatively intact network morphology.@*CONCLUSIONS@#DCQD combined with LA treatment could effectively repair the intestinal mucosal barrier and improve GI motility in mice after TBI. The combination of DCQD and LA was more effective than their respective monotherapies.

Advances in Pharmacological Studies of Patchouli Alcohol / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Patchouli Alcohol (PA) is the main bioactive constituent of Pogostemon cablin Pharmacological researches have reported various benefits of PA, including anti-infammatory, anti-gastric ulcer, anticancer, protecting against alung and brain injury, antibacterial, prevention of mastitis, colitis and arteriosclerosis, anti-photoaging, treatment of diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome, antioxidant stress, vasodilation and anti-injury.The preliminary study on the mechanism showed that anti-inflammatory effect was related to the down-regulation of mRNA expression of inflammatory mediators to inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines and the reduction of extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK)-mediated nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation.The anti-gastric ulcer, protection of lung injury and brain injury and anti-photoaging were related to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.The mechanism of anti-human leukemic cell line MV4-11 migh be associated with the changes of NF-κB, phosphorylated M2 pyruvate kinase (p-PKM2) and cysteine aspartate protease-3 (Caspase-3) protein expressions.The proposed mechanisms of anti-human colorectal cancer cells included the inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC)-2 expression and HDAC enzyme activity, and subsequent downregulation of c-myc and activation of NF-κB pathway.Apoptosis of A549 cells was induced by blocking the phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway and activating c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Anti-prostate cancer was related to the activation of mitochondrial cytochrome C apoptosis pathway, and its antiviral effect may be related to the regulation of RIG-1-like helicases (RLH) signal pathway or the direct binding of virus protein or nucleic acid and the binding site of virus to cells to block the adsorption of virus to cells.The mechanism of its antibacterial, prevention of mastitis, colitis and arteriosclerosis was closely related to anti-inflammation.The pharmacological effects of PA need to be further studied.In order to accelerate the exploration and discovery other molecular mechanism of PA, and expand its application prospects.This review comprehensively summarizes the metabolism, biological activities, and possible mechanism of PA, in order to provide references for the development and application of PA.

Transcriptomic analysis in Anemone flaccida rhizomes reveals ancillary pathway for triterpene saponins biosynthesis and differential responsiveness to phytohormones / 中国天然药物

Anemone flaccida Fr. Schmidt is a perennial medicinal herb that contains pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins as the major bioactive constituents. In China, the rhizomes are used as treatments for a variety of ailments including arthritis. However, yields of the saponins are low, and little is known about the plant's genetic background or phytohormonal responsiveness. Using one-quarter of the 454 pyrosequencing information from the Roche GS FLX Titanium platform, we performed a transcriptomic analysis to identify 157 genes putatively encoding 26 enzymes involved in the synthesis of the bioactive compounds. It was revealed that there are two biosynthetic pathways of triterpene saponins in A. flaccida. One pathway depends on β-amyrin synthase and is similar to that found in other plants. The second, subsidiary ("backburner") pathway is catalyzed by camelliol C synthase and yields β-amyrin as minor byproduct. Both pathways used cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases (CYPs) and family 1 uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases (UGTs) to modify the triterpenoid backbone. The expression of CYPs and UGTs were quite different in roots treated with the phytohormones methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid and indole-3-acetic acid. This study provides the first large-scale transcriptional dataset for the biosynthetic pathways of triterpene saponins and their phytohormonal responsiveness in the genus Anemone.

Effects of dezocine or flurbiprofen combined with propofol-remifentanil in cervical precancerosis conization / 中国癌症杂志

Background and purpose: Cervical conization is a common operation to treat precancerous tissues performed under non-intubated anesthesia. As common opioid analgesics have side effects of inhibiting respiration and circulation, other kinds of analgesic drugs should be coordinated to improve the anesthetic effect, without interfering the respiration and circulation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dezocine or flurbiprofen combined with propofolremifentanil in cervical precancerosis conization. Methods: Sixty patients who underwent cervical conization were equally randomized into dezocine group (group D), flurbiprofen group (group F) and 0.9％ natural saline (group N) with 20 patients in each group, and received dezocine 0.1 mg/kg, flurbiprofen 1 mg/kg or 0.9％ natural saline in 5 mL respectively before anesthesia induction. During the anesthesia induction, the targeted control infusion of remifentanil in effect concentration was set at 1.5 ng/mL, and the plasma concentration of propofol was set at 2 μg/mL. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), surplus pulse O2 (SPO2) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), MAP were monitored before the anesthesia induction (T0) and after (T1), at the start of cervical conization (T2), and at the end of operation (T3). The incidence of respiratory depression and body movements during surgery were observed. The satisfaction degree of the surgeon to the opening status of cervix was evaluated. The post-operative recovery time, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, nausea and vomiting in the following 12 hours were also recorded. Results: The HR, RR, SPO2 and MAP in three groups did not have any significant change (P＞0.05) at T0, T1 and T3. At T2 the HR and MAP decreased significantly in group D and group F compared with group N (P＜0.05), and there was no significant difference between group D and group F (P＞0.05). The surgical satisfaction degree of "Good" in group D was 80％, significantly higher than that in group N (30％) and group F (50％), indicating a better cervix opening in group D. The recovery time in three groups had no significant difference, and the VAS scores in group D and group F were lower than those in group N (P＜0.05) after operation, and patients did not have nausea or vomiting in the following 12 hours. Conclusion: Both the dezocine and flurbiprofen could improve the anesthetic effect in cervical conization and post-operative comfort, with less respiratory or circulation depression. Dezocine showed better improvement than flurbiprofen in cervix opening and the inhibition of stress response and body movements during surgery.
