miR-877-3p causes osteoporosis in mice by inhibiting MCP-1 secretion from mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and the migration and apoptosis of T lymphocytes / 细胞与分子免疫学杂志

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-877-3p on migration and apoptotic T lymphocytes of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods The model of osteoporosis induced by bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and sham operation was established. At 8 weeks after operation, the bone parameters of the two groups were detected by micro-CT. The levels of monocyte chemotactic protein 1(MCP-1) in BMSCs were detected by ELISA. BMSC in OVX group and sham group were co-cultured with T lymphocytes, respectively. The migration ability of T lymphocytes in the two groups was observed by TranswellTM assay with PKH26 staining and apoptosis of T lymphocytes were detected by flow cytometry. Reverse transcription PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-877-3p in BMSCs. miR-877-3p was overexpressed or down-regulated by cell transfection. The level of MCP-1 secreted by BMSCs in each group was detected by ELISA. The migration and apoptosis of T lymphocytes were detected by the above methods. Results The number of trabecular bone and bone mineral density in OVX group were lower than those in sham group. The levels of MCP-1 secretion, chemotactic and apoptotic T lymphocyte ability of BMSCs in OVX group were also lower than those in sham group. The expression level of miR-877-3p in BMSC in OVX group was higher than that in sham group. After overexpression of BMSC miR-877-3p, the levels of MCP-1 secreted from BMSCs, and apoptotic T lymphocytes decreased, while the results were opposite after down-regulation of miR-877-3p. Conclusion miR-877-3p may be one of the causes of osteoporosis by inhibiting MCP-1 secretion of BMSCs and the migration and apoptosis of T lymphocytes.

Role of BDNF-AS in amygdala in development of neuropathic pain in rats / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor-antisense long-chain non-coding RNA (BDNF-AS) in amygdala in the development of neuropathic pain (NP) in rats.Methods:Healthy clean-grade male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2 months, weighing 200-260 g, were used to develop NP model via ligation of left L 5-6 spinal nerve, while control group was only subjected to the exposure of L 5-6 spinal nerve without ligation.This study was performed in two parts.Experiment Ⅰ Fifty-six rats were divided into 3 groups by the random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group, n=8), NP group ( n=24) and BDNF ( n=24). In BDNF group, exogenous BDNF was injected into bilateral amygdala at 1, 3, 6, 13 and 20 days after development of the model, with 100 pmol at each side.Eight rats were sacrificed at 7, 14 and 21 days after the model was developed in NP and BDNF groups and after the model was developed in Sham group, the brains were removed, and the amygdala was isolated for determination of the BDNF content (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), the number of BDNF-positive cells (by immunohistochemistry), and expression of BDNF-AS (by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction). Experiment Ⅱ Thirty-two rats were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) using the random number table method: Sham operation group, NP group, BDNF group and siRNA group.At 1, 3, 6, 13 and 20 days after development of the model, exogenous BDNF 100 pmol and siRNA-BDNF-AS 50 nmol were injected into the amygdala at each side in BDNF group and siRNA group, respectively.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured before development of the model (T 0) and at 4, 7, 14 and 21 days after development of the model (T 1-4). After the last behavioral test was completed, the rats were sacrificed, and the spinal cord tissues were collected to measure the contents of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Results:Experiment Ⅰ Compared with Sham group, the content of BDNF and the number of BDNF positive cells were significantly decreased, and the expression of BDNF-AS was up-regulated at each time point after development of the model in group NP ( P<0.05). Compared with NP group, the content of BDNF and the number of BDNF positive cells were significantly increased, and the expression of BDNF-AS was down-regulated at each time point after development of the model in group NP ( P<0.05). Experiment Ⅱ Compared with Sham group, MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4, and the contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were increased in NP, BDNF and siRNA groups ( P<0.05). Compared with NP group, MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T 1-4, and the contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased in BDNF and siRNA groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism underlying the development of NP may be related to the up-regulation of BDNF-AS expression in amygdala, inhibition of BDNF synthesis and promotion of inflammatory responses in the spinal cord of rats.

NAFLD fibrosis score is associated with high-risk coronary plaque in patients with NAFLD / 中华健康管理学杂志

Objective:To investigate the possible role of non-invasive fibrosis scoring systems for detecting high-risk plaque among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:A total of 477 consecutive asymptomatic subjects underwent a health checkup including coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and abdominal ultrasonography. Fatty liver was evaluated using ultrasonography, and the NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) was calculated. Coronary stenosis and plaque were evaluated using coronary CTA.Results:Of the study population, 223 had NAFLD. Among the NAFLD patients, high-risk coronary plaque was more frequent in patients with high or intermediate NFS than those with low NFS (62.5% versus 24.0%, P<0.001). The adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval of high-risk plaque was 3.24 (1.11-9.40) for the highest versus lowest quartile of NFS ( P=0.016). Among those without NAFLD, NFS was not associated with high-risk coronary plaque (C-statistic with NFS versus without NFS, 0.766 versus 0.764, P=0.715). Adding NFS to the traditional cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk model increased the C-statistics by 0.679 to 0.739 ( P=0.031). Conclusions:There was an independent association of NFS with high-risk coronary plaque in patients with NAFLD, suggesting its potential use to optimize management of patients with NAFLD.

Study on the value of pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform derived parameters on the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective:Pulse oximetry plethysmographic (POP) waveform to indicate the patient's perfusion status and the quality of resuscitation has been affirmed. The POP waveform is obtained by a non-invasive monitoring method, and its clinical feasibility during CPR is better than that of invasive monitoring technologies. This study aimed to analyze the three parameters derived from POP waveform: CPR quality index (CQI), perfusion index (PI), and chest compression fraction (CCF) in evaluating the CPR quality and ROSC possibility.Methods:A prospective descriptive study was conducted on 74 CPR patients who were divided into the ROSC group and non-ROSC group according to their resuscitation results. The clinical data were extracted from patient monitor, the distribution and changes of the three parameters during CPR were collected, and their value of evaluating resuscitation outcome were analyzed.Results:At the end stage of resuscitation, there were statistically significant differences in the three parameters between the two groups ( P<0.05). In addition, CQI was significantly more capable in evaluating the possibility of ROSC than PI and CCF ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CQI, PI and CCF derived from POP waveform can all be applied to evaluate CPR quality and ROSC possibility. CQI has higher prognosis value than PI and CCF.

Correlation between serum levels of neuron specific enolase and inflammatory factors and recovery of neurological function in patients with severe traumatic brain injury / 中国基层医药

Objective:To correlate serum levels of neuron specific enolase (NSE) and inflammatory factors with recovery of neurological function in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.Methods:Ninety-six patients with severe traumatic brain injury who received treatment from January 2018 to January 2020 in Taizhou Hospital were included in this study. These patients were divided into a mild-to-moderate group ( n = 51) and a severe group ( n = 45). Additional 60 healthy controls who concurrently received health examination were included in the healthy control group. Serum NSE level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level by immunoturbidimetry, serum procalcitonin (PCT) level by chemiluminescent assay, and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All patients were followed up for 3 months. Recovery of neurological function was evaluated by modified Rankin Scale. Results:Serum NSE level was (50.42 ± 13.25) μg/L and (36.79 ± 10.28) μg/L in the severe and mild-to-moderate groups, respectively, which was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group [(6.13 ± 1.78) μg/L, t = 25.641, 22.688, both P < 0.05). Serum NSE level in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the mild-to- moderate group ( t = 5.576, P < 0.05). Serum CRP, PCT, IL-6 and TNF-α levels were (78.95 ± 15.46) mg/L, (3.46 ± 0.75) μg/L, (432.15 ± 78.29) μg/L and (36.57 ± 8.98) μg/L] respectively in the severe group, (34.65 ± 7.48) mg/L, (1.68 ± 0.51) μg/L, (285.41 ± 36.75) μg/L and (17.54 ± 5.26) μg/L] respectively in the mild-to-moderate group and (3.25 ± 0.86) mg/L, (0.08 ± 0.02) μg/L, (73.52 ± 13.89) μg/L and (1.64 ± 0.50) μg/L, respectively in the healthy control group. Serum CRP, PCT, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the severe and mild-to-moderate groups were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group ( t = 37.890, 34.922, 34.870, 30.099, 32.284, 24.315, 40.980, 23.312, all P < 0.05). Serum levels of these indicators in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the mild-to-moderate group ( t = 17.493, 13.414, 11.500, 12.451, all P < 0.05). In the severe group, neurological function recovered well in 34 patients and poorly in 17 patients. Serum NSE level in patients with poor neurological function recovery was significantly higher than that in patients with good recovery [(68.93 ± 14.25) μg/L vs. (34.61 ± 12.36) μg/L, t = 8.457, P < 0.05). Serum CRP [(113.24 ± 27.39) mg/L], PCT [(4.57 ± 0.87) μg/L], IL-6 [(598.90 ± 43.52) μg/L] and TNF-α [(58.78 ± 12.13) μg/L] levels in patients with poor recovery were significantly higher than those in patients with good recovery [(32.19 ± 6.90) mg/L, (2.23 ± 0.65) μg/L, (261.39 ± 26.56) μg/L and (14.53 ± 4.26) μg/L, t = 11.956, 9.788, 29.280 and 14.537, all P < 0.05). Serum NSE, CRP, PCT, IL-6 and TNF-α were positively correlated with poor prognosis ( r = 0.849, 0.743, 0.795, 0.683, 0.701, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:In patients with severe traumatic brain injury, serum NSE, CRP, PCT, IL-6 and TNF-α levels increase, which are positively correlated with poor prognosis.

Compound Kushen injection induces immediate hypersensitivity reaction through promoting the production of platelet-activating factor via de novo pathway / 中国药理学与毒理学杂志

OBJECTIVE Compound Kushen injection (CKI) is a bis-herbal formulation extracted from Kushen (Radix Sophorae Flavescentis) and Baituling (Rhizoma Heterosmilacis Japonicae). Clinically, it is used as the adjuvant treat?ment of cancer. However, with the increased application, the cases of immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHRs) also gradually rise. In this study, we investigated the underlying mechanism(s) and active constituent(s) for CKI-induced IHRs in experimental models. METHODS T helper 2 (Th2) immunity-amplified mice were prepared by aluminum adjuvant. Anaphylactic shock was detected by measuring rectal thermometry in propranolol pretreated mice. For evaluating micro?vascular permeability, Evans blue extravasation assay was used. Platelet-activating factor (PAF), serum total IgE (tIgE) and mouse mast cell protease 1 (MMCP1) were measured by ELISA. RESULTS The obtained results showed that CKI did not elevate serum tIgE and MMCP1 after consecutive immunization for five weeks, but could induce Evans blue extravasation (local) and cause obvious hypothermia (systemic) after a single injection. Further study showed that alka?loids in Kushen, especially matrine, were responsible for CKI-induced IHRs. Mechanism study showed that various PAF receptor antagonists could significantly counter CKI-induced IHRs locally or systemically. In cell system, CKI was able to promote PAF production in a non-cell-selective manner. In cell lysate, the effect of CKI on PAF production became stron?ger and could be abolished by blocking de novo pathway. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our study identifies, for the first time, that CKI is a PAF inducer. It causes non-immunologic IHRs, rather than IgE-dependent IHRs, by promoting PAF production through de novo pathway. Alkaloids in Kushen, especially matrine, are the prime culprits for IHRs. Our find?ings may provide a potential approach for preventing and treating CKI-induced IHRs.

Mindfulness was positively related to self-management( r=0.821, P<0.05). The mediating effect test showed that mindfulness played a part of mediating role between resilience and self-management, with the mediation effect of 0.56, accounted for 69.80% of the total effect. Conclusion:The variables of mindfulness, mental resilience and self-management behavior in type 2 diabetic patients are positively correlated with each other.Mindfulness plays a partial mediating role between mental resilience and self-management behavior.

Effect of heavy metal lead on anticoagulant activity of leech based on label-free quantitative proteomics / 中国中药杂志

Whitmania pigra is the most widely distributed species of leeches in the market. In this study, the effect of heavy metal lead pollution on the anticoagulant activity of Wh. pigra was studied and the potential mechanism was explored. Pb(NO_3)_2 was used to contaminate the breeding soil which was then used to rear Wh. pigra for 50 days(lead-contaminated group, LC group), and meanwhile the blank control group(CG group) was set. Proteins were extracted from the obtained leech samples, and the differentially expressed proteins between LC and CG groups were analyzed by label-free proteomics technology. In this study, a total of 152 differentially expressed proteins were screened out, of which 93 proteins were up-regulated and 59 proteins were down-regulated in LC group. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the biological processes enriched with the differentially expressed proteins were mainly vesicle-mediated transport and transport positive regulation; the enriched cell components were mainly endocytosis vesicles and apical plasma membrane; the enriched molecular functions mainly included carbohydrate binding. The differentially expressed proteins were enriched in 76 KEGG pathways, which mainly involved metabolic pathways, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and bacterial invasion of epithelial cells. In this study, two differentially expressed proteins with Antistasin domain were presumed, which provides reference for further exploring the regulatory mechanism and signal transduction underlying the effect of lead pollution on the anticoagulant activity of leech.

Effect of KIF22 on promoting proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells via MAPK-ERK pathways / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most globally prevalent cancers in the world. The pathogenesis of GC has not been fully elucidated, and there still lacks effective targeted therapeutics. The influence of altered kinesin superfamily protein 22 (KIF22) expression in GC progression is still unclearly. The aim of this study was to investigate the KIF22 effects on GC and related mechanisms.@*METHODS@#Gastric carcinoma tissues and matching non-cancerous tissues were collected from patients with GC who have accepted a radical gastrectomy in Lanzhou University Second Hospital from May 2013 to December 2014. The expression of KIF22 was examined in GC of 67 patients and 20 para-carcinoma tissues by immunochemical staining. The relationship between the expression of KIF22 and clinicopathologic characteristics was next investigated in the remaining 52 patients except for 15 patients who did not complete follow-up for 5 years. Cell viability was performed via 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test and colony formation assay in the MGC-803 and BGC-823 GC cells. Cell scratch and trans-well invasion assay was performed to assess migration ability in the MGC-803 and BGC-823 GC cells. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) pathway enrichment analysis was performed to explore the potential functions. Cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. In addition, the two GC cell lines were used to elucidate the underlying mechanism of KIF22 in GC in vitro via assessing the effects on mitogen-activated protein kinase and extracellular regulated protein kinases (MAPK/ERK) signal transduction pathway-related expressions by Western blotting assays. The differences were compared by t tests, one-way analysis of variance, and Chi-squared tests.@*RESULTS@#The study showed that KIF22 was up-regulated in GC, and KIF22 high expression was significantly related to differentiation degree (χ = 12.842, P = 0.002) and poorly overall survivals. GSEA pathway enrichment analysis showed that KIF22 was correlated with the cell cycle. Silence of KIF22 decreased the ability of the proliferation and migration in gastric cells, induced G1/S phase cell cycle arrest via regulating the MAPK-ERK pathways.@*CONCLUSIONS@#KIF22 protein level was negatively correlated with prognosis. KIF22 knockdown might inhibit proliferation and metastasis of GC cells via the MAPK-ERK signaling pathway.

They were divided into a control group ( n=11) and an experimental group ( n=11) according to whether a 3D printed navigation template had been used to assist the posterior atlantoaxial surgery. In the control group, there were 6 males and 5 females, with an age of 63.6 years ± 4.6 years. In the experimental group, there were 7 males and 4 females, with an age of 57.6 years ± 4.8 years. In the control group, the pedicle screws were inserted with the help of conventional X-ray; in the experimental group, the pedicle screws were implanted with the assistance of a 3D printed navigation template and a 3D printed 3D model of cervical spine based on the preoperative CT data. Recorded were surgery time, times of intraoperative fluoroscopy, blood loss and success rate of pedicle screw insertion. Results:There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the preoperative general data, showing comparability ( P>0.05). A total of 44 pedicle screws were inserted in the control group, including 12 ones of level-Ⅰ, 20 ones of level-Ⅱ and 12 ones of level-Ⅲ, giving a success rate of 72.7%; a total of 44 pedicle screws were inserted in the experimental group, including 21 ones of level-Ⅰ, 19 ones of level-Ⅱ and 4 ones of level-Ⅲ, giving a success rate of 90.9%. The success rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group ( P< 0.05). The surgery time (120.0 min± 5.0 min), times of tntraoperative fluoroscopy (9.9 times ±0.5 times), and blood loss (96.6 mL ± 4.2 mL) in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (153.1 min ± 5.3 min, 12.2 times ± 0.7 times and 128.5 mL ± 5.1 mL) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Application of a 3D printing template can effectively reduce surgery time, intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative fluoroscopy but increase the success rate of pedicle screw implantation, showing excellent application prospects in posterior atlantoaxial surgery.

The effect of integrating nursing home care with medical rehabilitation for patients with senile dementia / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of integrating nursing home service with rehabilitation therapy for persons with senile dementia.Methods:One hundred elderly persons with senile dementia were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 50. Both groups were given routine nursing care, while the observation group was additionally provided with rehabilitation training. Before and after the intervention, both groups were evaluated using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), the Barthel index and QOL-AD.Results:After the intervention, the average MMSE, Barthel index and QOL-AD scores of both groups were significantly improved, with the average improvement in the observation group significantly greater.Conclusions:Rehabilitation training can effectively improve the cognitive functioning, performance in the activities of daily living and life quality of persons with senile dementia.
