Analysis on Sugar Spectrum Difference Between Wild-simulated and Transplanted Astragali Radix / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo establish the characteristic sugar spectrum of polysaccharides， oligosaccharides and monosaccharides of wild-simulated and transplanted Astragali Radix， and find out the difference of the sugar spectrum between the two， so as to provide a basis for quality evaluation of Astragali Radix. MethodThe relative molecular weight distribution of polysaccharides from 18 batches of wild-simulated Astragali Radix and 12 batches of transplanted Astragali Radix were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection（HPLC-ELSD） to establish the characteristic chromatograms of two kinds of polysaccharides. The difference in the peak area ratio of APS-Ⅱ， a polysaccharide component with a relative molecular weight of 10 kDa， in two kinds of Astragali Radix was analyzed， and the critical value of peak area ratio of APS-Ⅱ was determined by receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curve. At the same time， APS-Ⅱ was partially acid-hydrolyzed by trifluoroacetic acid（TFA） to establish characteristic spectra of two kinds of oligosaccharides from Astragali Radix based on HPLC-ELSD， and the characteristics of differential oligosaccharides were found by principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）. Two kinds of APS-Ⅱ were completely acid-hydrolyzed by TFA and derivatized to establish characteristic spectra of two kinds of monosaccharides from Astragali Radix based on HPLC， PCA and OPLS-DA were performed on the peak area ratio of two kinds of monosaccharides to explore the differences in the composition of two kinds of APS-Ⅱ monosaccharides. ResultThe characteristic sugar spectrum of polysaccharides from Astragali Radix showed that the peak area ratio of APS-Ⅱ was the main difference， and the peak area of APS-Ⅱ of wild-simulated and transplanted Astragali Radix were 89.17%-97.17% and 80.14%-91.96%， respectively. The ROC curve determined the critical value of 92.28% for the difference of APS-Ⅱ peak area ratio of the two kinds of Astragali Radix. The multivariate analysis of APS-Ⅱ oligosaccharides revealed that the peak area ratio of oligosaccharides with polymerization degree≥10 was the main difference， which ranged from 11.835%-19.092% for wild-simulated products and 2.778%-7.017% for transplanted products. The results of monosaccharide characteristic sugar spectrum analysis showed that both Astragali Radix species consisted of six monosaccharides， and glucose and arabinose were the differential monosaccharide fractions. The peak area ratios of glucose and arabinose in wild-simulated products were 85%-93.9% and 2.7%-5.8%， respectively， while those of transplanted products were 74.3%-87.3% and 5.3%-10.7%， suggesting that the structures of the two polysaccharide fractions APS-Ⅱ of Astragali Radix may be different. ConclusionThe difference of sugar spectrum between two kinds of Astragali Radix may be related to the content and structure of APS-Ⅱ， and this study may provide a reference for the study of carbohydrates in Astragali Radix and the quality evaluation of medicinal materials.

Quality of vision related survival among primary and secondary school students with different myopia correction status / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To analyse the influencing factors of myopia correction among primary and secondary school students with myopia and to compare the quality of visionrelated survival of students with different correction conditions.@*Methods@#A total of 3 649 students from eight primary and secondary schools in a district of Chongqing were selected for myopia screening and vision related survival quality questionnaires using a stratified cluster random sampling method.@*Results@#Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the rate of wearing eyeglasses among myopic students with different gender, school, educational stage, academic stress, and parenting style ( χ 2=10.98, 31.63, 31.86, 11.28, 9.59, all P <0.05). The fully vision correction rate among students wearing eyeglasses differed in educational stage, academic stress and parenting style ( χ 2= 11.77, 9.92, 8.69, all P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, school and educational stage were all influencing factors of the rate of wearing eyeglasses (all P <0.01). Myopic students total scores on the Quality of Survival Scale were significantly higher than those of non myopic students ( t =20.07, P <0.01). There were significant differences in the scores of physical, emotional, visual and physical functioning and the total score of quality of survival scores among the three groups of myopic students without wearing eyeglasses, students with undercorrection and students with full vision correction ( F=49.93, 49.38, 28.14, 67.31, P <0.01).@*Conclusion@#Myopic students have low rates of wearing eyeglasses and fully vision correction. The rate of wearing glasses is different in urban and rural areas, gender and educational stage. The quality of life among myopic students is decreased by wearing eyeglasses, and the quality of life of undercorrected students is lower than that of fully corrected students. We should pay attention to the correction of myopia and improve the quality of life among myopic students.

Analysis of the vaccination status of enterovirus type 71 inactivated vaccine in China from 2017 to 2021 / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective: To understand the vaccination status of enterovirus type 71 (EV71) inactivated vaccines in China from 2017 to 2021 and provide evidence for making policy on immunization strategy against hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Methods: Using the reported dose number of EV71 vaccination and birth cohort population data collected by the China immunizaiton program information system to estimate the cumulative coverage of EV71 vaccine by the end of 2021 among the birth cohorts since 2012 at national, provincial, and prefecture levels, and analyze the correlation between the vaccination coverage and the potential influencing factors. Results: As of 2021, the estimated cumulative vaccination coverage of the EV71 vaccine was 24.96% in birth cohorts since 2012. The cumulative vaccination coverage was between 3.09% and 56.59% in different provinces, between 0 and 88.17% in different prefectures. There was a statistically significant correlation between vaccination coverage in different regions and the region's previous HFMD prevalence and disposable income per capita. Conclusions: Since 2017, the EV71 vaccines have been widely used nationwide, but the coverage of EV71 vaccination varies greatly among regions. Vaccination coverage is higher in relatively developed regions, and the intensity of previous epidemic of HFMD may have a certain impact on the acceptance of the vaccine and the pattern of immunization service. The impact of EV71 vaccination on the epidemic of HFMD requires further studies.

TRIB3 promotes pulmonary fibrosis through inhibiting SLUG degradation by physically interacting with MDM2

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is the pathological structure of incurable fibroproliferative lung diseases that are attributed to the repeated lung injury-caused failure of lung alveolar regeneration (LAR). Here, we report that repetitive lung damage results in a progressive accumulation of the transcriptional repressor SLUG in alveolar epithelial type II cells (AEC2s). The abnormal increased SLUG inhibits AEC2s from self-renewal and differentiation into alveolar epithelial type I cells (AEC1s). We found that the elevated SLUG represses the expression of the phosphate transporter SLC34A2 in AEC2s, which reduces intracellular phosphate and represses the phosphorylation of JNK and P38 MAPK, two critical kinases supporting LAR, leading to LAR failure. TRIB3, a stress sensor, interacts with the E3 ligase MDM2 to suppress SLUG degradation in AEC2s by impeding MDM2-catalyzed SLUG ubiquitination. Targeting SLUG degradation by disturbing the TRIB3/MDM2 interaction using a new synthetic staple peptide restores LAR capacity and exhibits potent therapeutic efficacy against experimental PF. Our study reveals a mechanism of the TRIB3-MDM2-SLUG-SLC34A2 axis causing the LAR failure in PF, which confers a potential strategy for treating patients with fibroproliferative lung diseases.

Anemia among rural children aged 3-6 in central China and its association with dietary behaviors / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To understand the status of anemia among rural children aged 3-6 in central China and its relationship with dietary behavior, and to provide reference for prevention and intervention of anemia in rural children.@*Methods@#From April to June 2021, stratified cluster sampling was used to select 1 246 preschool children aged 3 to 6 years old in rural areas in central China. Peripheral blood of the ring finger was collected. Dietary behaviors regarding consumption of cereals and potatoes, fruits, vegetables, soy products, milk, animal foods, food diversity, and drinking water were investigated. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between anemia and dietary behaviors.@*Results@#The detection rate of anemia in rural children aged 3-6 in central China was 13.88%. The anemia detection rate of left behind children (19.00%) was higher than that of non left behind children (11.27%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=13.93, P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that the proportion of left behind children ( OR=1.28, 95%CI =1.16-1.56) with anemia was higher than that of non left behind children ( P <0.01). Consumption of animal food intake ≥3 times/week ( OR=0.82, 95%CI =0.69-0.91), and ≥2 kinds of vegetables ( OR= 0.86, 95%CI =0.71-0.93) were associated with lower rate of anemia ( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The detection rate of anemia in rural children aged 3-6 years in central China is relatively high, especially in left behind children. Dietary literacy of caregivers should be further improved regarding increased intake of animal foods and vegetables to reduce the risk for anemia in preschoolers.

Effect of pH on the chelation between strontium ions and decellularized small intestinal submucosal sponge scaffolds / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the preparation of decellularized small intestinal submucosa (dSIS) sponge scaffolds with chelated strontium (Sr) ions at different pH values, and to select the appropriate pH values for synthesizing Sr/dSIS scaffolds using the physicochemical properties and biocompatibility of the scaffolds as evaluation indexes.@*METHODS@#(1) Sr/dSIS scaffolds preparation and grouping: After mixing dSIS solution and strontium chloride solution in equal volumes, adjusting pH of the solution to 3, 5, 7, and 9 respectively, porous scaffolds were prepared by freeze-drying method after full reaction at 37℃, which were named Sr/dSIS-3, -5, -7, and -9 respectively, and the dSIS scaffolds were used as the control group. (2) Physicochemical property evaluation: The bulk morphology of the scaffolds was observed in each group, the microscopic morphology analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, and the porosity and pore size determined, the surface elements analyzed by energy spectroscopy, the structure of functional groups analyzed by infrared spectroscopy, the chelation rate determined by atomic spectrophotometry, the water absorption rate detected by using specific gravity method, and the compression strength evaluated by universal mechanical testing machine.(3) Biocompatibility evaluation: The cytotoxicity and proliferative effect to bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) of each group were evaluated by Calcein-AM/PI double staining method.@*RESULTS@#Scanning electron microscopy showed that the scaffolds of each group had an interconnected three-dimensional porous structure with no statistical difference in pore size and porosity. Energy spectrum analysis showed that strontium could be detected in Sr/dSIS-5, -7 and -9 groups, and strontium was uniformly distributed in the scaffolds. Functional group analysis further supported the formation of chelates in the Sr/dSIS-5, -7 and -9 groups. Chelation rate analysis showed that the Sr/dSIS-7 group had the highest strontium chelation rate, which was statistically different from the other groups (P < 0.05). The scaffolds in all the groups had good water absorption. The scaffolds in Sr/dSIS-5, -7 and -9 groups showed significantly improved mechanical properties compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The scaffolds in all the groups had good biocompatibility, and the Sr/dSIS-7 group showed the best proliferation of BMSCs.@*CONCLUSION@#When pH was 7, the Sr/dSIS scaffolds showed the highest strontium chelation rate and the best proliferation effect of BMSCs, which was the ideal pH value for the preparation of the Sr/dSIS scaffolds.

The immunophenotyping showed that CD56, CD4 and CD123 expression was observed in 4 patients， and CD304 in 3 patients． One patient refused chemotherapy and died early. Both patients achieved complete remission after the initial treatment with DA+VP regimen, 1 of them achieved complete remission after recurrence by using the same regimen again． One patient failed to respond to reduced dose of DA+VP chemotherapy, and then achieved complete remission with venetoclax+azacitidine.@*CONCLUSION@#The malignant cells in BPDCN patients often infiltrate bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes, and have specical phenotypes, with poor prognosis. The treatment should take into account both myeloid and lymphatic systems. The treatment containing new drugs such as BCL-2 inhibitors combined with demethylation drugs is worth trying.

Mechanism of TRPC in promoting extracellular matrix deposition of glomerular mesangial cells / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

【Objective】 To explore the role and mechanism of TRPC in promoting extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in rat glomerular mesangial cells (HBZY-1). Methods Immunofluorescence staining was performed to observe the distribution and expression of TRPC1 and TRPC6 in HBZY-1 cells. After AngⅡ stimulation, qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of Gαq/PLCβ4/TRPC signaling pathway main proteins and ECM deposition indicators (α-SMA, collagenⅢ and fibronectin). By silencing the expressions of TRPC1 and TRPC6 by RNA interference, the expressions of ECM deposition indicators were detected. Changes in [Ca2+]i influx were determined through Fluo-4AM Ca2+ imaging. 【Results】 Both TRPC1 and TRPC6 were expressed in HBZY-1, and were mainly located in cell membrane and cytoplasm. After AngⅡ stimulation, Gαq/PLCβ4/TRPC signaling pathway was activated, and the mRNA and protein expressions of Gαq, PLCβ4, TRPC1 and TRPC6 were all increased (P<0.05). [Ca2+]i influx also increased (P<0.01), and the mRNA and protein expressions of ECM deposition indicators (α-SMA, ColⅢ and Fn) were upregulated (P<0.05). Silencing the expressions of TRPC1 and TRPC6 by RNA interference led to decreased [Ca2+]i influx (P<0.05), and downregulated mRNA and protein expressions of ECM deposition indicators in HBZY-1 cells (P<0.05). The results suggested that inhibition of TRPC expressions could inhibit AngⅡ induced ECM deposition in HBZY-1 cells, which might be associated with decreased [Ca2+]i influx. 【Conclusion】 TRPC may be a novel therapeutic target of renal fibrosis.

Design, synthesis, antibacterial and antitumor activities of novel pyrazolo3,4-bpyridine-4-one-5-carboxylic acid derivatives / 药学学报

To discover new structural hits, based on the important role of pyrazole ring and fragment of pyridinone carboxylic acid in drug design, novel title pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-4-one-5-carboxylic acid derivatives (10a-10p) were designed and synthesized, the structures were confirmed by spectral data and elemental analyses. The antibacterial and antitumor activities were evaluated by the measured minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against the tested four strains and half inhibitory concentration (IC50) values against the tested four cancer cells, respectively. The results displayed markedly poor antibacterial activity and observably potent antitumor activity. In particularly, the title difluorophenyl (10d, 10e, 10f), pyridyl (10j), ethyl (10k) and cycloproyl (10l) compounds exhibited comparable activity against Capan-1 and A549 cells to that of the comparison doxorubicin. Thus, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-4-one-5-carboxylic acid derivatives as promising antitumor hits need to be developed.

Application of prone position in severe ARDS caused by pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia after kidney transplantation / 器官移植

Objective To investigate the improvement of oxygenation after the treatment of prone position in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) after kidney transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 5 cases of moderate and severe ARDS caused by PJP after kidney transplantation were analyzed retrospectively, and clinical characteristics, treatment regimen and prognosis were summarized. Results Clinical manifestations of 5 patients were fever, dry cough, chest tightness, shortness ofbreath,sweating and fatigue, and body temperature fluctuated between 38 ℃ and 39 ℃, percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation(SpO2) was gradually decreased, and respiratory distress symptoms were worsened. Pulmonary CT scan showed diffuse ground-glass shadow. After transfer to intensive care unit (ICU), immunosuppressive drugs were terminated, and all patients were given with compound sulfamethoxazole, caspofungin, low-dose glucocorticoids against pneumocystis jirovecii (PJ), oxygen therapy and other symptomatic supportive treatments. Four patients diagnosed with severe ARDS upon admission to ICU were treated in a prone position. One patient with moderate ARDS was not kept in a prone position. At 1 d after treatment in a prone position, partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) and oxygenation index were increased, whereas alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (A-aDO2) was decreased compared with before treatment (allP<0.05). Compared with 1 d after treatment, SpO2, PaO2 and oxygenation index were all increased, while A-aDO2 was decreased at 4 d after treatment (all P<0.05). Box diagram showed that oxygenation index showed an overall upward trend after prone-position treatment, whereas A-aDO2 showed an overall downward trend. The length of ICU stay of 5 patients was 14 (8, 29) d. All patients in a prone position did not develop complications, such as skin pressure sore, tube detachment and tube displacement, etc. Among 5 patients, 4 patients were mitigated, and 1 patient died of septic shock and multiple organ failure. Conclusions For both conscious and intubated patients, a prone position may significantly improve oxygenation and prognosis of patients with severe ARDS caused by PJP after kidney transplantation. Early diagnosis and accurate and standardized treatment play a pivotal role in enhancing cure rate.

Redefinition to bilayer osmotic pump tablets as subterranean river system within mini-earth via three-dimensional structure mechanism

Defining and visualizing the three-dimensional (3D) structures of pharmaceuticals provides a new and important tool to elucidate the phenomenal behavior and underlying mechanisms of drug delivery systems. The mechanism of drug release from complex structured dosage forms, such as bilayer osmotic pump tablets, has not been investigated widely for most solid 3D structures. In this study, bilayer osmotic pump tablets undergoing dissolution, as well as after dissolution in a desiccated solid state were examined, and visualized by synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography (SR-μCT). In situ formed 3D structures at different in vitro drug release states were characterized comprehensively. A distinct movement pattern of NaCl crystals from the push layer to the drug layer was observed, beneath the semi-permeable coating in the desiccated tablet samples. The 3D structures at different dissolution time revealed that the pushing upsurge in the bilayer osmotic pump tablet was directed via peripheral "roadways". Typically, different regions of the osmotic front, infiltration region, and dormant region were classified in the push layer during the dissolution of drug from tablet samples. According to the observed 3D microstructures, a "subterranean river model" for the drug release mechanism has been defined to explain the drug release mechanism.

The cell cycle inhibitor P21 promotes the development of pulmonary fibrosis by suppressing lung alveolar regeneration

The cell cycle inhibitor P21 has been implicated in cell senescence and plays an important role in the injury-repair process following lung injury. Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a fibrotic lung disorder characterized by cell senescence in lung alveolar epithelial cells. In this study, we report that P21 expression was increased in alveolar epithelial type 2 cells (AEC2s) in a time-dependent manner following multiple bleomycin-induced PF. Repeated injury of AEC2s resulted in telomere shortening and triggered P21-dependent cell senescence. AEC2s with elevated expression of P21 lost their self-renewal and differentiation abilities. In particular, elevated P21 not only induced cell cycle arrest in AEC2s but also bound to P300 and β-catenin and inhibited AEC2 differentiation by disturbing the P300-β-catenin interaction. Meanwhile, senescent AEC2s triggered myofibroblast activation by releasing profibrotic cytokines. Knockdown of P21 restored AEC2-mediated lung alveolar regeneration in mice with chronic PF. The results of our study reveal a mechanism of P21-mediated lung regeneration failure during PF development, which suggests a potential strategy for the treatment of fibrotic lung diseases.

68Ga-PSMA ligand PET/CT integrating indocyanine green-guided salvage lymph node dissection for lymph node metastasis after radical prostatectomy / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

To efficiently remove all recurrent lymph nodes (rLNs) and minimize complications, we developed a combination approach that consisted of 68Gallium prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and integrated indocyanine green (ICG)-guided salvage lymph node dissection (sLND) for rLNs after radical prostatectomy (RP). Nineteen patients were enrolled to receive such treatment. 68Ga-PSMA ligand PET/CT was used to identify rLNs, and 5 mg of ICG was injected into the space between the rectum and bladder before surgery. Fluorescent laparoscopy was used to perform sLND. While extensive LN dissection was performed at level I, another 5 mg of ICG was injected via the intravenous route to intensify the fluorescent signal, and laparoscopy was introduced to intensively target stained LNs along levels I and II, specifically around suspicious LNs, with 68Ga-PSMA ligand PET/CT. Next, both lateral peritonea were exposed longitudinally to facilitate the removal of fluorescently stained LNs at levels III and IV. In total, pathological analysis confirmed that 42 nodes were rLNs. Among 145 positive LNs stained with ICG, 24 suspicious LNs identified with 68Ga-PSMA ligand PET/CT were included. The sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-PSMA ligand PET/CT for detecting rLNs were 42.9% and 96.6%, respectively. For ICG, the sensitivity was 92.8% and the specificity was 39.1%. At a median follow-up of 15 (interquartile range [IQR]: 6-31) months, 15 patients experienced complete biochemical remission (BR, prostate-specific antigen [PSA] <0.2 ng ml-1), and 4 patients had a decline in the PSA level, but it remained >0.2 ng ml-1. Therefore, 68Ga-PSMA ligand PET/CT integrating ICG-guided sLND provides efficient sLND with few complications for patients with rLNs after RP.

Values of Ki-67 expression level and 4 molecular types for risk classification of prognosis in medulloblastoma / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective:To investigate the values of Ki-67 expression level and 4 molecular types for risk classification of prognosis in patients with medulloblastoma (MB).Methods:A retrospective study of 92 MB patients who underwent surgery and were confirmed by postoperative pathology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2009 to January 2018 was performed. The clinical data and survival data of the patients were collected and sorted out. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was performed. Risk stratification of prognosis of patients was performed according to the Ki-67 expression level combined with molecular typing, the low-risk group had Ki-67 positive index ≤50% and WNT or SHH subtype, the medium-risk group had Ki-67 positive index ≤50% and GROUP 3 or GROUP 4 subtype, or Ki-67 positive index >50% and WNT or SHH subtype), and the high-risk group had Ki-67 positive index >50% and GROUP 3 or GROUP 4 subtype. The differences in OS and PFS among different risk groups were compared. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess factors affecting the survival of patients.Results:There were 50 cases (54.3%) with Ki-67 positive index ≤50% and 42 cases (45.7%) with Ki-67 positive index >50%. The 5-year PFS rate and OS rate of patients with Ki-67 positive index ≤50% were 46.9% and 63.1%, and patients with Ki-67 positive index >50% were 28.5% and 32.0%, there were statistical differences in PFS and OS between the two groups ( P values were 0.020 and 0.028). There were 16 cases (17.4%) of WNT subtype, 14 cases (15.2%) of SHH subtype, 40 cases (43.5%) of GROUP 3 subtype and 22 cases (23.9%) of GROUP 4 subtype, their 5-year PFS rates were 78.0%, 76.0%, 19.2% and 19.9%, respectively, and their 5-year OS rates were 82.1%, 76.0%, 40.2% and 0, respectively. MB patients with GROUP 3 or GROUP 4 subtype had poorer PFS and OS than patients with WNT or SHH subtype ( P values were 0.003 and 0.039). Ki-67 expression level and molecular typing were combined to carry out risk classification of prognosis. There were 12 cases (13.0%) in the low-risk group, 56 cases (60.9%) in the medium-risk group, and 24 cases (26.1%) in the high-risk group . There were statistical differences in PFS and OS among MB patients in low-, medium- and high-risk groups (both P < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that radiotherapy and risk classification of prognosis as medium risk and low risk were independent protective factors for PFS (radiotherapy vs. no radiotherapy: OR = 0.263, 95% CI 0.124-0.556, P < 0.001; medium-risk group vs. high-risk group: OR = 0.069, 95% CI 0.008-0.581, P = 0.014; low-risk group vs. high-risk group: OR = 0.260, 95% CI 0.131-0.514, P < 0.001); radiotherapy and risk classification of prognosis as low risk were independent protective factors for OS (radiotherapy vs. no radiotherapy: OR = 0.221, 95% CI 0.097-0.503, P < 0.001; low-risk group vs. high-risk group: OR = 0.328, 95% CI 0.150-0.717, P = 0.005). Conclusions:The expression level of Ki-67 and 4 molecular types are related to the prognosis of MB patients. The combination of the two can be used to classify the prognosis risk of MB patients, which has reference significance for the prediction of prognosis of patients and the selection of individualized treatment plans.

Observation of intestinal flora in patients with depression before and after antidepressant treatment based on 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing analysis / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To observe the results of 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing analysis of intestinal flora in patients with depression before and after antidepressant treatment.Methods:94 patients with major depression treated in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects. All patients were treated with paroxetine hydrochloride for 12 weeks. Fecal samples were collected before and after treatment. The patients were divided into effective group and ineffective group according to the treatment effect. 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing was used to detect the changes of flora before and after treatment.Results:There was significant difference in age and gender between the two groups (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in α diversity index such as Chao1, PD and Shannon index between effective group and ineffective group before and after treatment (all P>0.05). β diversity analysis showed that there was a graphical difference between the effective group and the ineffective group at baseline, but it did not show statistical significance after adjusting for age and gender (Adonis, P=0.078). Compared with the ineffective group, the effective group had fecal bacilli enrichment at baseline. β-diversity analysis showed that there was no clear pattern of microbiota changes in the effective group ( P=0.142) and ineffective group ( P=0.127) from baseline to post-treatment. After treatment, the abundance of Roche bacteria in the effective group increased significantly ( P=0.013, Cohen′s d=1.90), while the abundance of Flavonifractor decreased significantly ( P=0.01, Cohen′s=5.84). Before and after treatment, the samples of the ineffective group did not identify the genus with diversity through DESeq2. The logarithm ratio of the top ranked genera (top 12%) to the bottom ranked genera (bottom 12%) in the ineffective group increased significantly ( P=0.027, Cohen′s=1.1). Conclusions:The baseline fecal microbiota status may have an impact on the treatment outcome of depression, and improving the intestinal microbiota status may contribute to the remission of depression.
