Reference and Enlightenment on the Supervision of Human Genetic Resources from Foreign Legislation / 中国医学伦理学

As an important biological resource of a country or region, human genetic resources (HGR) are increasingly attracting attention and concern from many countries internationally, and even have been elevated to the dimension of national sovereignty by many countries. As a large country with rich and diverse HGR, relevant regulatory work in China started relatively late compared to foreign countries, but has developed rapidly. However, looking around the world, there is still room for further improvement and development of domestic HGR regulation. By reviewing the regulatory legislation of HGR in some countries abroad, this paper sorted out their advanced experience and highlighted measures in detail, and summarized their deep-seated legislative guidance. A detailed analysis and evaluation were conducted from seven aspects:the advanced level of HGR legislation and the enhancement of legal effectiveness, the systematization and systematization of policies and regulations, the unification of platforms and relevant standards, the highlight of the concept of ethics and the rule of law, the strengthening of anti-discrimination protection, the special protection of major human genetic family resources and national special protection areas of HGR, and the establishment of principled consensus or agreement on HGR in international and local regions, to provide reference for the construction of regulatory policies and legal systems for HGR in China.

Clinical phenotypes and genetic features of epilepsy children with MBD5 gene variants / 中华儿科杂志

Objective: To summarize the phenotypes of epilepsy in patients with MBD5 gene variants. Methods: A total of 9 epileptic patients, who were treated in the Department of Pediatrics, Peking University First Hospital from July 2016 to September 2021 and detected with MBD5 gene pathogenic variants, were enrolled. The features of clinical manifestations, electroencephalogram (EEG), and neuroimaging were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Among 9 patients, 6 were male and 3 were female. Age at seizure onset ranged from 5 to 89 months. Multiple seizure types were observed, including generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCS) in 7 patients, myoclonic seizures in 5 patients, focal seizures in 5 patients, atypical absence seizures in 3 patients, atonic seizures in 2 patients, myoclonus absence seizures in 1 patient, epileptic spasms in 1 patient, and tonic seizures in 1 patient. There were 8 patients with multiple seizure types, 2 patients with sensitivity to fever and 5 patients with clustering of seizures. Two patients had a history of status epilepticus. All patients had developmental delay before seizure onset. Nine patients had obvious language delay, and 6 patients had autism-like manifestations. Five patients had slow background activity in EEG. Interictal EEG showed abnormal discharges in 9 patients. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was normal in all patients. A total of 9 epileptic patients carried MBD5 gene variants, all of them were de novo variants. There were MBD5 gene overall heterozygous deletion in 1 patient, large fragment deletions including MBD5 gene in 3 patients and single nucleotide variations (c.300C>A/p.C100X, c.1775delA/p.N592Tfs*29, c.1759C>T/p.Q587X, c.150_151del/p.Lys51Asnfs*6, c.113+1G>C) in 5 patients. The age at last follow-up ranged from 2 years and 9 months to 11 years and 11 months. At the last follow-up, 2 patients were seizure-free for more than 11 months to 4 years 6 months, 7 patients still had seizures. Conclusions: The initial seizure onset in patients with MBD5 gene variants usually occurs in infancy. Most patients have multiple seizure types. The seizures may be fever sensitive and clustered. Developmental delays, language impairments, and autistic behaviors are common. MBD5 gene variants include single nucleotide variations and fragment deletions. Epilepsy associated with MBD5 gene variants is usually refractory.

Gambogic acid enhances sensitivity of glioma U251 cells to temozolomide by inhibiting GLUT-3/ AKT signaling pathway / 中国肿瘤生物治疗杂志

@#[Abstract] Objective: To explore whether gambogic acid can enhance the sensitivity of glioma U251 cells to temozolomide and further explore its mechanism. Methods: U251 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into blank control group, gambogic acid treatment group, temozolomide alone treatment group and combined treatment group. The cells survival rates of cells in each group was detected by CCK-8 assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and changes in ROS level. Western blotting was used to detect the changes in protein expressions. Results: CCK-8 results showed that the cells survival rates of the four groups after treatment for 24 h were (98.65±3.68)%, (93.58±2.47)%, (66.81±2.39)% and (38.65±4.13)%, respectively. It can be seen that the combined treatment could significantly increase the inhibitory effect of temozolomide on U251 cells. The proportion of apoptotic U251 cells in the combined treatment group was (61.43±2.58)%, which was significantly higher than that of (26.68±1.82)% in the temozolomide-treated group. Combined treatment of gambogic acid and temozolomide could up-regulate ROS level in U251 cells, reduce the expressions of GLUT-3 and p-AKT, and inhibit the GLUT-3/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusion: Gambogic acid combined with temozolomide can enhance the sensitivity of U251 cells to temozolomide by up-regulating ROS level and inhibiting GLUT-3/AKT signaling pathway in U251 cells, and provides a theoretical basis for the application of gambogic acid in the treatment of glioma.

The change and significcance of regulatory T cells in peripheral blood in patients with acute and chronic gout / 中华风湿病学杂志

Objective To investigate the change and significance of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in peripheral blood in patients with acute and chronic gout. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect the ratio of Tregs in peripheral blood of healthy controls, patients with acute gout and patients with chronic gout. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-βand interleukin (IL)-1βin plasma. Then, statistical analysis was conducted to analyze the changes and significance in different stages of gout, such as F test, Kruskal-Walls H test, q test and Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis. Results ① The percentage of CD4+CD25+Foxp+Treg/CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood was (1.22±0.27)％ in control group. While in patients with acute gout, it was (1.51±0.43)％, and (0.47±0.26)％in patients with chronic gout. There were statistical significant difference among the three groups ( F=101.39, P<0.05). The percentage of Tregs in acute gout group was significantly higher than that in control group and chronic gout group, while it was significantly lower in chronic gout group than in control group ( P<0.05). ②The concentration of TGF-β in plasma was (170 ±12) ng/L in control group, (214 ±77) ng/L in patients with acute gout and (179±21) ng/L in patients with chronic gout, the difference was statistically-significant (F=6.20, P<0.05). The concentration of TGF-β in plasma in acute gout group was significantly higher than the control group and chronic gout group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), while the difference between chronic gout group and the control group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). ③The con-centration of IL-1β in plasma in the control group was (4.8 ±1.3) ng/L, while that in patients with acute and chronic gout was (10.1±8.5) ng/L and (11.50±12.57) ng/L respectively, the difference between these three groupswas stati-sticallysignificant (P<0.05). The concentration of IL-1β in plasma in acute gout group and chronic gout group wassignificantly higher than that in the control group, the difference was statistical significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between acute gout and chronic gout (P>0.05) patients. ④ The percentage of Tregs in peripheral blood of gout patients was negatively correlated with the duration of disease and the number of gout attacks within six months (duration of disease: r =-0.381, P <0.01 ; number of gout attacks: r=-0.518, P<0.01). But there wasno significant correlation to the concentration of TGF-β and IL-1β. Conclusion Tregsincreasesin acute gout and participate in the alleviation of gout inflammation, while the persistence of chronic gout may be related to the decrease of Tregs. Therefore, Tregs play an important regulatory role in the transformation of acute and chronic gout.

Meta-analysis on effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine combined with first-generation EGFR-TKI in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer / 中国中药杂志

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine combined with first-generation EGFR-TKI in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). China biomedical literature database (CBM), China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), VIP, PubMed, CochraneLibrary, EMbase and other Chinese and English databases were searched for randomized and clinical controlled trials of traditional Chinese medicine combined with first-generation EGFR-TKI in treating advanced NSCLC. The statistical effect was measured by Revman 5.3.5 based on the outcome indexes of total response rate, disease control rate, quality of life, one-year survival rate, and adverse reactions/events. Meanwhile, a bias risk assessment was conducted by Stata12.0. A total of 17 studies were included, involving 1 391 cases, with 706 cases in the treatment group and 685 cases in the control group. The studies featured a low methodological quality, high homogeneity and low publication bias risk. The meta-analysis showed that total response rate [RR=1.33, 95%CI (1.17, 1.51)], disease control rate [RR=1.21, 95%CI (1.13, 1.29)], quality of life improvement rate [RR=1.28, 95%CI (1.17, 1.41)], one-year survival rate [RR=1.27, 95%CI (1.01, 1.61)], and other indexes of effectiveness of Chinese medicine combined with first-generation EGFR-TKI were all superior to those of first-generation EGFR-TKI alone, with significant differences (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the incidence of adverse reaction/events, such as the skin toxic response [RR=0.74，95%CI (0.63, 0.86)], gastrointestinal reaction [RR=0.54，95%CI (0.41, 0.71)], damage to hepatic function [RR=0.41, 95%CI (0.26, 0.67)] in Chinese medicine combined with first-generation EGFR-TKI group were lower than those in first-generation EGFR-TKI group, with significant differences (P<0.01). There was no publication bias according to Begg Rank correlation test. In short, traditional Chinese medicine combined with first-generation EGFR-TKI had a better efficacy and safety in treating advanced NSCLC than EGFR-TKI alone. However, due to the small sample size and the low methodological quality of included papers, the conclusion still needs to be further proved by high-quality, large-sample randomized controlled trials.

Electroacupuncture at Feishu (BL13) and Zusanli (ST36) down-regulates the expression of orexins and their receptors in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease / 中西医结合学报

Inflammation and lung function decline are the main pathophysiological features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Acupuncture can improve lung function in patients with COPD, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Orexins (OXs), which are found in peripheral plasma, are neuropeptides that regulate respiration and their levels are related to COPD. Therefore, we hypothesized that acupuncture might alter OXs, reduce lung inflammation and improve lung function in COPD.

Therefore, we hypothesized that acupuncture might alter OXs, reduce lung inflammation and improve lung function in COPD.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>COPD was induced in rats by exposure to cigarette smoke for 8 weeks and injecting with lipopolysaccharide twice. Electroacupuncture (EA) was performed at Feishu (BL13) and Zusanli (ST36) for 30 min/d for 2 weeks. Rat lung function and morphology were assessed after EA. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and orexin A and B levels in the lung tissue were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. OX receptor mRNA levels and immunopositive cells were assessed with real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical methods, respectively. The relationships among lung function, cell factors, and OX levels were analyzed by Pearson correlation analyses.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the control group, lung function was significantly decreased in the rats with COPD (P<0.05). There were increases in TNF-α and IL-1β levels in BALF (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively), orexin A level in lung tissue (P<0.01; but not orexin B) and mRNA expressions of OX (OXR1) and OX 2 (OXR2) in lung tissue (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively); the integrative optical densities (IODs) of both receptors were greater in the COPD group (P<0.05). For rats with COPD subjected to EA, lung function was improved (P<0.05). There were notable decreases in TNF-α and IL-1β levels (P<0.05 and <0.01, respectively) in BALF. Orexin A, but not orexinB, levels in lung tissue also decreased (P<0.01), as did mRNA expression of OX1R and OX2R in lung tissue (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively). Receptor IODs were also reduced after EA treatment (P<0.05). Furthermore, orexin A levels and ratio of forced expiratory volume in 0.3 s to forced vital capacity were strongly negatively correlated (P<0.01), and orexin A was positively correlated with TNF-α and IL-1β (P<0.001 and P<0.05, respectively).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>EA at Zusanli and Feishu improved lung function of rats with COPD and had an anti-inflammatory effect, which may be related to down-regulation of OXA and its receptors.</p>

Application of continuous renal replacement therapy in the rescue of MODS patients / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on patients with emergency and serious diseases.@*METHODS@#The patients were divided into 2 groups: Group A [71 patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)] were treated by CRRT for 175 times. Group B (30 patients) were treated with common hematodialysis (HD). Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), natrem (Na(+)), kalium (K(+)), chlorine (Clj), power of hydrogen (pH), bicarbonate (HCO3-), carbon dioxide partial pressure (PCO(2)), and oxygen pressure (PO(2)) were measured before and after the treatment.@*RESULTS@#After the treatment, all patients' general state of health, water-electrolyte and acid base disorder were improved. The levels of BUN, Scr, K(+) (All P(s)<0.01), and Na(+) (P<0.05 in Group A, P<0.01 in Group B) were all lower and the levels of CO(2)CP (P<0.01 in Group A, P<0.05 in Group B) were higher than that before the pretherapy in both Group A and Group B. There was significant difference on the levels of BUN, Scr, K(+)(All P(s)<0.01), Cl(-) and CO(2)CP (All P(s)<0.05) between Group A and Group B, which indicated the therapeutic effect in Group A was better than that in Group B. Furthermore, the levels of pH, PO(2) and HCO(3)(-) were higher (P<0.01) and PCO(2) was lower (P<0.05) obviously than that before the CRRT in 30 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in Group A. Among the 9 patients with poisoning, 7 were alleviated completely and 2 died after the CRRT plus hemoperfusion (HP). The survival time of patients was lengthened in Group A. No blood or bleed aggravation occurred in patients with bleeding inclination or 48 h before the operation after using the method of heparin soaking the blood filter.@*CONCLUSION@#CRRT has better curative effect on removing the toxin effectively, rapidly correcting the turbulence of water electrolyte and sour-alkali balance for patients compare with HD. At the same time, it can increase the level of PO(2) and reduce CO(2) retention, improve the lung function and brain edema, and increase the patient's survival rate. Using CRRT as early as possible is very important and it can improve the prognosis of the patients who had MODS or other dangers because the death rate of MODS patients is very high.
