Scientific unknown-base in medical field: Supporting problem-oriented priority setting in basic research / 中华医学科研管理杂志

Objective:The present study delves into the realm of scientific unknowns, which serve as the primary representation of major scientific challenges and often give rise to subversive, non-consensus, and high-risk scientific problems. Addressing this pivotal aspect, we focus on the development of scientific unknown identification methods and tool platforms to provide essential data support for priority setting of basic research through a problem-oriented approach. Such efforts are imperative for managing the scientific and technological innovation system within the context of demands and problem-solving.Methods:While numerous knowledge bases have been established in the medical field, there remains a notable lack of focus on the unknown base. The paper synthesizes relevant literature and existing research, amalgamating the methodological paradigm of scientific big data research with text mining. This integration facilitates comprehensive interpretations and enlightening insights concerning the concept, identification methods, and construction of an unknown-base.Results:By systematically analyzing the concept of scientific unknowns, we present a recognition method based on cognitive state and logical rules. Furthermore, we discuss a classification framework and realization path for scientific unknowns from the dimensions of attribute, relationship, and disease, thereby providing foundational insights for the construction of a medical unknown database.Conclusions:Notably, the research on unknowns in medical science transcends disciplinary boundaries, encompassing the confluence of information science, data science, medical informatics, and science and technology management. As such, this paper seeks to expound upon the significance and application scenarios of unknown research in science, furnishing valuable ideas and references for scholars in the field.

From 2011 to 2020, there were 111 213 cases of rabies exposed people recruited from the rabies immunization clinic of a hospital in Beijing. The monthly distribution of patients in each year was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The distribution of patients showed remarkable seasonality, with the exposure peak from May to October. The ratio of male to female was 1∶1.3. The majority of patients were aged 20-29 years old (39.1%) and in-service personnel (56.5%). Level-Ⅱ wounds (84.2%) were more common than level-Ⅲ wounds (14.9%). The number of visits to level-Ⅲwounds increased rapidly since 2017. The most common injured body part was hand (60.7%). Dogs were the most common animal for injuries (60.6%), followed by cats (32.3%), of which most were host animals (75.5%). The vaccination rate from 2016 to 2020 [49.8% (24 276/48 703)] was significantly higher than that from 2011 to 2015[18.6% (6 559/35 272)](χ²=8597.18, P<0.001).

Objective:To investigate the changes of serum miR-33 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and analyze the relationship between miR-33 and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:From July 2019 to January 2020, 25 healthy subjects (control group), 25 NAFLD patients (NAFLD group), 25 T2DM patients hospitalized in the department of endocrinology (T2DM group) and 25 T2DM patients with NAFLD (NAFLD combined with T2DM group) were selected. The basic data of the subjects were collected, and the levels of miR-33 and other biochemical indexes in the serum of the four groups were detected. The risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference between T2DM group and T2DM group with NAFLD in course of disease, medication history and incidence of complications ( P<0.05). The levels of serum miR-33 in T2DM group, NAFLD group and T2DM combined with NAFLD group were higher than those in healthy people, and the level of serum miR-33 in the combined group was the highest ( P<0.05). The differences in systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol (TC), fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin, triglycerides (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), uric acid (UA), serum creatinine (Scr), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the four groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The level of miR-33 was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, FPG, HbA1c, TG, UA and GGT ( P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the level of HDL-C ( P<0.05). MiR-33, systolic blood pressure and FPG increased the risk of NAFLD in T2DM patients ( OR=8.999, 1.083, 2.071, P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum miR-33 is the influencing factor of T2DM and NAFLD diseases and the risk factor of T2DM patients with NAFLD. It may affect the occurrence and development of metabolic diseases by participating in the regulation of glycolipid metabolism.

Construction and application value of prognosis associated miRNA prediction model based on bioinforma-tics analysis in pancreatic cancer patients / 中华消化外科杂志

Objective:To construct a prognosis associated micro RNA(miRNA) prediction model based on bioinformatics analysis and evaluate its application value in pancreatic cancer patients.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 171 pancreatic cancer patients from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (https: //cancergenome.nih.gov/) between establishment of database and September 2017 were collected. There were 93 males and 78 females, aged from 35 to 88 years, with a median age of 65 years. Of the 171 patients, 64 had complete clinicopathological data. Patients were allocated into training dataset consisting of 123 patients and validation dataset consisting of 48 patients using the random sampling method, with a ratio of 7∶3. The training dataset was used to construct a prediction model, and the validation dataset was used to evaluate performance of the prediction model. Nine pairs of miRNA sequencing data (GSE41372) of pancreatic cancer and adjacent tissues were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database. The candidate miRNAs were selected from differentially expressed miRNAs in pancreatic cancer and adjacent tissues for LASSO-COX regression analysis based on the patients of training dataset. A prognosis associated miRNA prediction model was constructed upon survival associated miRNAs which were selected from candidate differentially expressed miRNAs. The performance of prognosis associated miRNA prediction model was validated in training dataset and validation dataset, the accuracy of model was evaluated using the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curves and the efficiency was evaluated using the consistency index (C-index). Observation indicarors: (1) survival of patients; (2) screening results of differentially expressed miRNAs; (3) construction of prognosis associated miRNA model; (4) validation of prognosis associated miRNA model; (5) comparison of clinicopathological factors in pancreatic cancer patients; (6) analysis of factors for prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients; (7) comparison of prediction performance between prognosis associated miRNA model and the eighth edition TNM staging. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, comparison between groups was analyzed by the student- t test, and comparison between multiple groups was analyzed by the AVONA. Measurement data with skewed data were represented as M (range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Ordinal data were analyzed using the rank sum test. Correlation analysis was conducted based on count data to mine the correlation between prognosis associated miRNA model and clinicopathological factors. COX univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were applied to evaluate correlation with the results described as hazard ratio ( HR) and 95% confidence interval ( CI). HR<1 indicated the factor as a protective factor, HR>1 indicated the factor as a risk factor, and HR equal to 1 indicated no influence on survival. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve and calculate survival rates, and the Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Survival of patients: 123 patients in the training dataset were followed up for 31-2 141 days, with a median follow-up time of 449 days. The 3- and 5-year survival rates were 16.67% and 8.06%. Forty-eight patients in the validation dataset were followed up for 41-2 182 days, with a median follow-up time of 457 days. The 3- and 5-year survival rates were 15.63% and 9.68%. There was no significant difference in the 3- or 5-year survival rates between the two groups ( χ2=0.017, 0.068, P>0.05). (2) Screening results of differentially expressed miRNAs. Results of bioinformatics analysis showed that 102 candidate differentially expressed miRNAs were selected, of which 63 were up-regulated in tumor tissues while 39 were down-regulated. (3) Construction of prognosis associated miRNA model: of the 102 candidate differentially expressed miRNAs, 5 survival associated miRNAs were selected, including miR-21, miR-125a-5p, miR-744, miR-374b, miR-664. The differential expression patterns of pancreatic cancer to adjacent tissues were up-regulation, up-regulation, down-regulation, up-regulation, and down-regulation, respectively, with the fold change of 4.00, 3.43, 3.85, 2.62, and 2.35. A prognostic expression equation constructed based on 5 survival associated miRNAs = 0.454×miR-21 expression level-0.492×miR-125a-5p expression level-0.49×miR-744 expression level-0.419×miR-374b expression level-0.036×miR-664 expression level. (4) Validation of prognosis associated miRNA model: The C-index of prognosis associated miRNA model was 0.643 and 0.642 for the training dataset and validation dataset, respectively. (5) Comparison of clinicopathological factors in pancreatic cancer patients: results of COX analysis showed that the prognosis associated miRNA model was highly related with pathological T stage and location of pancreatic cancer ( Z=45.481, χ2=10.176, P<0.05). (6) Analysis of factors for prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients: results of univariate analysis showed that pathological N stage, radiotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, score of prognosis associated miRNA model were related factors for prognosis pf pancreatic cancer patients ( HR=2.471, 0.290, 0.172, 2.001, 95% CI: 1.012-6.032, 0.101-0.833, 0.082-0.364, 1.371-2.922, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that molecular targeted therapy was an independent protective factor for prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients ( HR=0.261, 95% CI: 0.116-0.588, P<0.05) and score of prognosis associated miRNA model≥1.16 was an independent risk factor for prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients ( HR=1.608, 95% CI: 1.091-2.369, P<0.05). (7) Comparison of prediction performance between prognosis associated miRNA model and the eighth edition TNM staging: in the training dataset, there was a significant difference in the prediction probability for 3- and 5-year survival of pancreatic cancer patients between prognosis associated miRNA model and the eighth edition TNM staging ( Z=-1.671, -1.867, P<0.05). The AUC of the prognosis associated miRNA model and the eight edition TNM staging for 3- and 5-year survival prediction was 0.797, 0.935 and 0.737 , 0.703, with the 95% CI of 0.622-0.972, 0.828-1.042 and 0.571-0.904 , 0.456-0.951. The C-index was 0.643 and 0.534. In the validation dataset, there was a significant difference in the prediction probability for 3- and 5-year survival of pancreatic cancer patients between prognosis associated miRNA model and the eighth edition TNM staging ( Z=-1.729, -1.923, P<0.05). The AUC of the prognosis associated miRNA model and the eight edition TNM staging was 0.750, 0.873 and 0.721 , 0.703, with the 95% CI of 0.553-0.948, 0.720-1.025 and 0.553-0.889, 0.456-0.950, respectively. The C-index was 0.642 and 0.544. Conclusions:A prognosis associated miRNA prediction model can be constructed based on 5 survival associated miRNAs in pancreatic cancer patients, as a complementation to current TNM staging and other clinicopathological parameters, which provides individual and accurate prediction of survival for reference in the clinical treatment.

Selection and validation of internal reference genes for qPCR in Polygonatum cyrtonema tubers at different development stages and in response to abiotic stress / 中国中药杂志

In order to analyze the expression of genes involved in steroidal saponin biosynthesis pathway in Polygonatum cyrtonema tubers, it is very important to select internal reference genes that are stably expressed at different development stages and in response to abiotic stress. According to the previously established P. cyrtonema transcriptome database and reported internal reference genes in plant, this study systematically analyzed eight candidate internal reference genes including histone H2 A, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, ACTIN, β-tubulin, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme-E2-10, elongation factor 1-alpha isoform, 18 S rRNA and α-tubulin 4 for expression stability in P. cyrtonema tubers at different development stages and in response to methyl jasmonate(MeJA) stress by using Real time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR). Based on the statistical analysis of qPCR results by using GeNorm, NormFinder and BestKeeper softwares, the expression of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme-E2-10 and elongation factor 1-alpha isoform are the most stable in P. cyrtonema tubes at different development stages and in response to MeJA stress. The two internal reference genes were further validated by analyzing the expression of 4 genes involved in steroidal saponin biosynthesis pathways. In conclusion, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme-E2-10 and elongation factor 1-alpha isoform can be used as the most appropriate internal reference genes for qPCR analysis in P. cyrtonema. This study also provide a foundation for future investigate the molecular mechanism of steroidal saponin biosynthesis pathways in P. cyrtonema.

Effect and mechanism of liraglutide on the apoptosis of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells induced with palmitic acid / 中华肝脏病杂志

Objective@#To observe whether liraglutide protects HepG2 cells from lipotoxicity by affecting mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPKs) pathway.@*Methods@#HepG2 cells were induced with 400μmol/L palmitic acid, and cells were treated with a final concentration of 100 nmol/L liraglutide. In addition, JNK inhibitor (SP600125) and p38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580) were added in advance, respectively. Apoptosis rate, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and caspase3 activity were detected. Western blot was used to detect p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), c-jun amino terminal kinase (JNK), cytochrome oxidase P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), glucose regulatory protein 78 (GRP78), activated caspase 3, B cell lymphoma associated Protein X (Bax), B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and expression of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) protein. LSD or Dunnett’s T3 test were used to compare the mean of multiple samples.@*Results@#Palmitic acid increased the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and JNK in HepG2 cells (P< 0.05). Furthermore, it increased the expression of GRP78, CHOP, CYP2E1, MDA, Bax, caspase3 and apoptosis rate, but inhibited the expression of Bcl-2 (Pvalue < 0.05). SP600125 and SB203580 had inhibited oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by palmitic acid (including CYP2E1, MDA, Bax, Bcl-2, caspase3, CHOP) (P< 0.05). The phosphorylation level of p38 MAPK and JNK was reduced with liraglutide and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, caspase3, CHOP) (P< 0.05) was regulated. There was no significant difference in the effect of liraglutide on apoptotic proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, CHOP) (P> 0.05) after pretreatment with those two inhibitors.@*Conclusion@#Palmitic acid has strong lipotoxicity to HepG2 cells and induces apoptosis. Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, liraglutide may improve lipotoxicity of palmitic acid by mediating p38 MAPK and JNK pathways.

Objective Rats were fed with high-fat diet and were successfully induced the models with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,and to investigate the effects of liraglutide on the expression of ERp46.Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to normal chow group(NC,n=10)and high-fat diet group(n=20),after 12 weeks,the high-fat diet group rats were divided into high-fat diet group(HF,n=10)and liraglutide group(100L,n=10) and treated with normal saline and liraglutide(100 μg/kg)for 4 weeks respectively. Liver tissues were measured by hematoxylin-eosin(HE),Oil Red O staining,hepatic triglyceride(TG),and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp test(HECT). Hepatocyte apoptosis rate were evaluated by TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling(TUNEL),and the expressions of ERp46 mRNA and protein were measured.Results Compared with the NC group,the liver tissues in the HF group have steatosis,insulin resistance,and the percentage of apoptosis was significantly increased. ERp46 mRNA and protein expressions were decreased(P<0.05). Compared with the HF group,liraglutide treatment was sufficient to reduce steatosis,insulin resistance,apoptosis,and increase the ERp46 mRNA and protein(P<0.05). Furthermore,the expression of ERp46 protein in the liver was negatively correlated with hepatocyte apoptosis rate,and positive correlated with glucose infusion rate(GIR, P<0. 05). Conclusion Liraglutide may up-regulate the expression of ERp46 to improve IR and hepatocyte apoptosis in NAFLD rats.
