Advances in neutrophil extracellular traps in bronchopulmonary dysplasia / 国际儿科学杂志

Due to the development of neonatal intensive care, the survival rate of very preterm infants and very low birth weight infants has been significantly improved, and the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has been obviously increasing year by year.The pathogenesis of BPD has not been clear, it is considered that inflammation is an important link in the occurrence and development of BPD at present.Neutrophils can use their neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to capture and kill pathogens and reduce inflammation, but excessive formation of NETs is easy to induce inflammatory imbalance, so as to damage normal cells or tissues and participate in the pathophysiological process of BPD.This paper reviews the structure, formation, function and regulatory role of NETs in BPD, and the targeted treatment strategies and potential research directions of NETs in BPD.

Bilateral triceps tendon approach is flexible and efficient in the treatment of type C distal humerus fractures / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

PURPOSE@#The purpose of this study was to assess and compare elbow range of motion, triceps extension strength and functional results of type C (AO/OTA) distal humerus fractures treated with bilateral triceps tendon (BTT) approach and olecranon osteotomy (OO). At the same time, we are also trying to know whether BTT approach can provide sufficient vision for comminuted intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus, and whether it is convenient to convert to the treatment to total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) or OO.@*METHODS@#Patients treated with OO and BTT approaches for type C distal humerus fractures between July 2014 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria include: (1) patients' age were more than 18 years old, (2) follow-up was no less than 6 months, and (3) patients were diagnosed with type C fractures (based on the AO/OTA classification). Exclusion criteria include: (1) open fractures (Gustillo type 2 or type 3), (2) treated by other approaches, and (3) presented with combined injuries of ipsilateral upper extremities, such as ulnar nerve. Elbow range of motion and triceps extension strength testing were completely valuated, when the fractures had healed. Assessment of functional results using the Mayo elbow performance score and complications were conducted in final follow-up. The data were compared using the two tailed Student's t-test. All data were presented as mean ± standard deviation.@*RESULTS@#Eighty-six patients of type C distal humerus fractures, treated by OO and BTT approach were retrospectively reviewed between July 2014 and December 2017. Fifty-five distal humerus fractures (23 males and 32 females, mean age 52.7 years) treated by BTT approach or OO were included in this study. There were 10 fractures of type C1, 16 type C2 and 29 type C3 according to the AO/OTA classification. Patients were divided into two surgical approach groups chosen by the operators: BTT group (28 patients) and OO group (27 patients). And the mean follow-up time of all patients was 15.6 months (range, 6-36 months). Three cases in BTT group were converted to TEA, and one converted to OO. Only one case in BTT group presented poor articular reduction with a step more than 2 mm. There were not significantly different in functional outcomes according to the Mayo elbow performance score, operation time and extension flexion motion are values between BTT group and OO group (p > 0.05). Complications and reoperation rate were also similar in the two groups. Triceps manual muscle testing were no significant difference in the two groups, even subdivided in elder patients (aged >60 years old).@*CONCLUSION@#BTT is a safe approach to achieve similar functional result comparing with OO. BTT were not suitable for every case with severe comminuted pattern, but it avoids the potential complications related to OO, and has no complications concerning with triceps tendon. It is convenient for open reduction internal fixation and flexible to be converted to OO, as well as available to be converted to TEA in elder patients.

Chronic sleep deprivation exacerbates cognitive and pathological impairments in APP/PS1/tau triple transgenic Alzheimer's disease model mice / 生理学报

Sleep exerts important functions in the regulation of cognition and emotion. Recent studies have found that sleep disorder is one of the important risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the effects of chronic sleep deprivation on the cognitive functions of AD model mice and its possible mechanism are still unclear. In the present study, 8-month-old male APP/PS1/tau triple transgenic AD model (3xTg-AD) mice and wild type (WT) mice (n = 8 for each group) were subjected to chronic sleep deprivation by using the modified multiple platform method, with 20 h of sleep deprivation each day for 21 days. Then, open field test, elevated plus maze test, sugar water preference test, object recognition test, Y maze test and conditioned fear memory test were performed to evaluate anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, and multiple cognitive functions. In addition, the immunohistochemistry technique was used to observe pathological characteristics in the hippocampus of mice. The results showed that: (1) Chronic sleep deprivation did not affect anxiety- (P = 0.539) and depression-like behaviors (P = 0.874) in 3xTg-AD mice; (2) Chronic sleep deprivation exacerbated the impairments of object recognition memory (P < 0.001), working memory (P = 0.002) and the conditioned fear memory (P = 0.039) in 3xTg-AD mice; (3) Chronic sleep deprivation increased amyloid β (Aβ) deposition (P < 0.001) and microglial activation (P < 0.001) in the hippocampus of 3xTg-AD mice, without inducing abnormal tau phosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangles. These results indicate that chronic sleep deprivation exacerbates the impairments of recognition memory, working memory and conditioned fear memory in 3xTg-AD mice by aggravating Aβ deposition and the excessive activation of microglia in the hippocampus.

Method:One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group. A total of 58 patients in control group completed the treatment （including 2 patients falling off or lost）. And 58 patients in observation group completed the treatment （including 1 patient was falling off or lost visit， and 1 eliminated）. Both groups got comprehensive treatment of western medicine. Patients in control group got simulated medicine of Shenwu Yishenpian， 4 pieces/time， 3 times/day. Patients in observation group got Shenwu Yishenpian， 4 pieces/time， 3 times/day. The treatment lasted for 6 months until the renal replacement therapy， and the 6-month follow-up was recorded. For every month， blood creatinine （SCr） was detected， and glomerular filtration rate （eGFR） were calculated. The 12-month renal replacement （dialysis or kidney transplantation）， progress （CKD4 to CKD5） and mitigation （CKD5 to CKD4 or CKD4 to CKD3） were recorded. Before and after treatment， levels of urea nitrogen （BUN）， hemoglobin （HB）， plasma albumin （ALB）， urine protein quantity （24 hUp） and blood uric acid （UA） levels were detected， deficiency of spleen kidney Qi was scored， and transforming growth factor-β1 （TGF-β1）， connective tissue growth factor （CTGF）， serum Klotho， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1 （Lkn-1） and interleukin-12 （IL-12） were detected. And the safety was evaluated. Result:At the 3th and 6th after treatment， SCr in two groups increased （P<0.01）， while eGFR decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with control group， SCr was less than that in control group （P<0.01）， whereas eGFR was higher than that in control group （P<0.01）. During 12 months of observation， the reduction rate of CKD was 13.79% （8/58）， which was higher than 1.72% （1/58） in control group. The progress rate of CKD was 11.43% （4/35）， which was lower than 31.58% （12/38） in control group （P<0.05）. Levels of BUN， 24 hUp and UA were lower than those in control group （P<0.01）， while levels of Hb and ALB were higher than those in control group （P<0.01）.

Evaluation genotoxicity of acetylnerolin based on quantitative structure-activity relationship model and in vitro tests / 中国药理学与毒理学杂志

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the genotoxicity of naproxen (NPX) impurities acetylnerolin (Ace). METHODS The genotoxicity of Ace was predicted by ADMET, Derek and Sarah with the quanti?tative structure-activity relationship (QSAR). The chromosomal aberration and bacterial reverse-muta?tion (Ames) tests were performed to verify the above results. In chromosomal aberration tests, CHL cells were incubated with Ace 10, 20 and 40 mg · L-1 for 4 h in the presence or absence of metabolic activation system solution (S9 mix). Methyl methane sulfonate (MMS) 20 mL · L-1 without S9 mix and cyclophosphamide (CP) 12 mg · L-1 with S9 mix served as positive control. The number of chromo?somes in each aberrant metaphase (including fissure, exchange, ring, break and polyploid) was counted and recorded, when the distortion rate less than 5％was considered negative and more than 10％was considered positive. In Ames test, the potential mutagenicity was evaluated using five strains of S. typhimurium ( TA97,TA98,TA100,TA102 and TA1535). They were treated with Ace 5, 25, 125 and 625μg per plate with or without S9 mix and incubated for 48-72 h. When without S9 mix, Dexon 50μg per plate served as positive control for TA97 and TA98, MMS 2.0μL per plate served as positive control for TA100 and TA102, and sodium azide 1.5μg per plate served as positive control for TA1535. When with S9 mix, 2-AF 100 μg per plate served as positive control for TA97, TA98 and TA100, 1, 8-dihydroxyanthraquinone (100μg per plate) served as positive control for TA102 and CP 50μg per plate served as positive control for TA1525. When the number of colonies was at least two-fold that of the negative control, the compound was considered mutagenic. RESULTS Although the Derek and Sarah software predicted that the NPX impurities were not genotoxic, ADMET data showed that Ace could induce chromosomal aberrations. The distortion rate of Ace 40 mg · L-1 was greater than 5％, but less than 10％. The distortion rate of Ace was less than 5％when<20 mg·L-1. Consistent with the results of ADMET, Ace might induce chromosomal aberrations. Ames test results showed that Ace did not signifi?cantly increase the number of bacteria (5-625μg per plate) compared with the negative control. Contrary to the ADMET results, Ace had no mutagenicity. CONCLUSION Ace has potential chromosomal muta?genicity. For life-long usage of NPX, the content of Ace should be reduced from 0.15％of conventional impurities to 0.015％.

Each group included 14 patients. The experimental group was applied with CGF membrane to guide bone regeneration, whereas the control group was treated with collagen membrane to guide bone regeneration. The postoperative pain degree and swelling degree were compared, and data were analyzed with SPSS 23.0 software. Postoperative pain was measured by visual analogue scale (VAS), and the degree of swelling was divided into four grades according to swelling range.@*RESULTS@#VAS scores of patients in experimental and control groups reached 35.1±22.5 and 47.0±20.3, respectively. The duration of postoperative pain in experimental and control groups totaled (2.1±1.5) and (2.8±1.0) days, respectively. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups (P>0.05). Percentages of non-swelling, mild swelling, moderate swelling, and severe swelling in experimental group reached 21.4%, 57.1%, 21.4%, and 0, respectively, and those in control group were 7.1%, 35.7%, 35.7%, and 21.4%. Swelling duration reached (2.4±1.4) and (4.2±2.2) days in the experimental and control groups, respectively. A statistically significant difference was observed in the swelling degree of experimental and control groups (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The use of CGF can significantly reduce the degree of postoperative swelling and shorten swelling time but cause no significant effect on pain.

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the displacement, stress and mechanism of lumbosacral joint disorder patients after bending and standing manipulation in the finite element model.@*METHODS@#A three-dimensional finite element model of a patient with lumbosacral joint disorder was established. The finite element analysis method was used to observe and analyze the three loading conditions of the model:axial, 34 degree inclined upward and vertical upward.@*RESULTS@#In the lumbosacral joint disorder model, the L₅ vertebral body was concentrated in the middle of the lower endplate, the intervertebral disc was concentrated in the center of the intervertebral disc, and the stress of S₁ and related structures were concentrated in the anterior and posterior edges of the vertebral body. After simulated manipulation, stress mainly concentrated in the anterior, posterior and central circular areas of L₅ vertebral upper endplate. The posterior structures of vertebral body concentrated in the ventral part of pedicle, isthmus and dorsal part of lamina. The stress of intervertebral disc dispersed in the posterior edge of vertebral body. Displacement results:In the lumbosacral joint disorder model, the left transverse process, the upper and lower articular process and the left part of spinous process were significantly displaced to the left, and the intervertebral disc was protruded forward. After simulated manipulation, the lower notch of L₅ vertebral body moved forward and upward; the area of intervertebral foramen increased; the inferior articular process of L₅ vertebral body moved forward; the superior articular process of sacrum moved forward and downward; the distance of articular process joints increased; and the displacement of sacrum concentrated on the posterior edge of vertebral body and the median sacral crest.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Successful lumbosacral joint modeling can be carried out by finite element analysis, and the mechanism of bending and erecting manipulation is clear, which is effective and safe for the treatment of lumbosacral joint disorders.

Inactivation of Poliovirus by Ozone and the Impact of Ozone on the Viral Genome / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the mechanisms underlying ozone-induced inactivation of poliovirus type 1 (PV1).@*METHODS@#We used cell culture, long-overlapping RT-PCR, and spot hybridization assays to verify and accurately locate the sites of action of ozone that cause PV1 inactivation. We also employed recombinant viral genome RNA infection models to confirm our observations.@*RESULTS@#Our results indicated that ozone inactivated PV1 primarily by disrupting the 5'-non-coding region (5'-NCR) of the PV1 genome. Further study revealed that ozone specifically damaged the 80-124 nucleotide (nt) region in the 5'-NCR. Recombinant viral genome RNA infection models confirmed that PV1 lacking this region was non-infectious.@*CONCLUSION@#In this study, we not only elucidated the mechanisms by which ozone induces PV1 inactivation but also determined that the 80-124 nt region in the 5'-NCR is targeted by ozone to achieve this inactivation.

Influence of implants prepared by selective laser melting on early bone healing / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the influence of the rough surface of dental implants prepared by selective laser melting (SLM) on early bone healing around titanium implants.@*METHODS@#A total of sixteen titanium implants were involved in our research, of which eight implants were prepared by SLM (TIXOS Cylindrical, Leader-Novaxa, Milan, Italy; 3.3 mm×10 mm, internal hex) and the other eight were sandblasted, large-grit and acid-etched (SLA) implants (IMPLUS Cylindrical, Leader-Novaxa, Milan, Italy; 3.3 mm×10 mm, internal hex). All of the dental implants were inserted into the healed extraction sockets of the mandible of two adult male Beagle dogs. Half of the dental implants were designed to be healed beneath the mucosa and the other half were intended to be healed transgingivally and were immediately loaded by acrylic resin bridge restoration. Three types of tetracycline fluorescent labels, namely calcein blue, alizarin complexone and calcein, were administered into the veins of the Beagle dogs 2, 4, and 8 weeks after implant placement respectively for fluorescent evaluation of newly formed bone peri-implant. Both Beagle dogs were euthanized 12 weeks after implant insertion and the mandible block specimens containing the titanium implants and surrounding bone and soft tissue of each dog were carefully sectioned and dissected. A total of 16 hard tissue slices were obtained and stained with toluidine blue for microscopic examination and histomorphometric measurements. Histological observation was made for each slice under light microscope and laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). Comparison on new bone formation around titanium implants of each group was made and mineral apposition rate (MAR) was calculated for each group.@*RESULTS@#Dental implants prepared by selective laser melting had achieved satisfying osseointegration to surrounding bone tissue after the healing period of 12 weeks. Newly formed bone tissue was observed creeping on the highly porous surface of the SLM implant and growing into the pores of surface structure. Higher MAR values were shown for SLM implants compared with SLA implants (P<0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#Dental implants prepared by selective laser melting could promote early bone healing and improve mineral apposition rate.

Objective To study the risk factors for PSD and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) after first AIS.Methods One hundred and three AIS patients were divided into non PSD group (n=77) and PSD group (n=26) according to their HAMD score and into non-PSCI group (n=30) and PSCI group (n=73) according to their MoCA score.Their depression and congnitive impairment were assessed,their demographic and clinical data were recorded.Risk factors for PSD and PSCI were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results The incidence of CHD,serum homocysteine level,rate of foci in front of head,HAMA score and rate of MoCA score＜21 were significantly higher in PSD group than in non PSD group (38.5％ vs 19.5％,P=0.04;20.12±12.96 μmol/L vs 14.73±6.41 μmol/L,P=0.01;84.6％ vs 61.0％,P=0.02;12.04±9.95 vs 3.35±2.79,P=0.00;65.4％ vs 42.9％,P=0.04).The age was significantly older,the rate of solitudianrians was significantly higher,the number of males was significantly greater,the middle school education level was significantly higher,the history of smoking and alcohol comsumption was significantly longer,the serum hemoglobulin level was significantly higher in PSCI group than in non PSCI group (P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety and hyperhomocysteinemia were the independent risk factors for PSD and age was the independent risk factor for PSCI (P＜0.05).Conclusion The relationship between first acute PSD and PSCI is uncertain.PSD and PSCI are characterized by their own independent risk factors.
