ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the coexisting gene mutations of FLT3-ITD mutation and its association with partial clinical parameters in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:The clinical data of 236 newly diagnosed AML outpatients and hospitalized patients of Changzhou No.2 People's Hospital and the Second People's Hospital of Wuxi between December 2012 and August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Genome DNA-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with Sanger sequencing was used to detect FLT3-ITD mutations, and 51 tumor target gene mutations in patients with FLT3-ITD mutations were detected by using high-throughput DNA sequencing combined with Sanger sequencing.Results:Among 236 AML patients, FLT3-ITD mutations were found in 71 cases (30.1%). About 97.2% (69/71) patients with FLT3-ITD mutations were accompanied by additional mutations, of which 19 patients harbored double coexisting genes mutations, 24 patients harbored 3 coexisting genes mutations and 26 patients harbored ≥ 4 coexisting genes mutations. The most common coexisting genes mutations were NPM1 (55 cases, 77.5%), followed by DNMT3A (36 cases, 50.7%), TET2 (9 cases, 12.7%), CEBPA (5 cases, 7.0%), IDH1 (4 cases, 5.6%) and NRAS (4 cases, 5.6%). In FLT3-ITD mutation group, the hemoglobin level of patients with DNMT3A mutation type was lower than that of those with DNMT3A wild type ( t = -2.37, P = 0.020); the hemoglobin level of patients with NPM1 mutation type was higher than that of those with NPM1 wild type ( t = 2.04, P = 0.045). The platelet in patients with 3 mutations and ≥ 4 mutations was higher than that in those with double mutations ( χ2 = 7.72, P = 0.021). After chemotherapy in 71 patients, the curative effect of 66 cases was evaluable, and the white blood count of 18 patients who did not reach complete remission was higher than that of 48 patients who reached complete remission ( Z = -2.74, P = 0.006). Conclusions:Most FLT3-ITD mutated patients with AML commonly show coexisting gene mutations, and the mutation types of coexisting genes are correlated with the clinical features of patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effect of acupuncture-moxibustion on negative emotions and plasma tryptophan (Trip)-kynurenine (Kyn) metabolism in the patients with Crohn's disease (CD) at the mild and moderate active stage.@*METHODS@#A total of 66 CD patients were randomized into an observation group (33 cases, 1 case dropped off) and a control group (33 cases, 2 cases dropped off). In the observation group, acupuncture was applied in combination with moxibustion. In the control group, the sham-acupuncture was used in combination with sham-moxibustion. In both of the observation group and the control group, acupuncture was applied to Zhongwan (CV 12), Shangjuxu (ST 37), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Gongsun (SP 4), Hegu (LI 4), Quchi (LI 11), Taixi (KI 3) and Taichong (LR 3), and moxibustion was applied to Tianshu (ST 25) and Zusanli (ST 36). The treatment was given once every two days, 3 times a week, totally for 12 weeks. Separately, before and after treatment, the score of the hospital anxiety-depression scale (HADS) and the score of intestinal core symptoms (degree of abdominal pain and frequency of diarrhea) were observed in the patients of the two groups. The concentration of plasma indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and the ratios of Kyn/Trp, QuinA/Kyn, KynA/Kyn and KynA/QuinA were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#Compared with before treatment, the scores of HADS-A and HADS-D in the observation group and the score of HADS-A in the control group were all reduced after treatment (@*CONCLUSION@#Acupuncture and moxibustion relieve the negative emotions of anxiety and depression in CD patients at mild and moderate active stage, which is probably related to the regulation of plasma Trp-Kyn metabolic pathway.

ABSTRACT

Both immunosuppressants and antibiotics (ABX) are indispensable for transplant patients. However, the former increases the risk of new-onset diabetes, whereas the latter impacts intestinal microbiota (IM). It is still unclear whether and how the interaction between immunosuppressants and ABX alters the IM and thus leads to glucose metabolism disorders. This study examined the alterations of glucose and lipid metabolism and IM in mice exposed to tacrolimus (TAC) with or without ABX. We found that ABX further aggravated TAC-induced glucose tolerance and increased insulin secretion. Combined treatment resulted in exacerbated lipid accumulation in the liver. TAC-altered microbial community was further amplified by ABX administration, as characterized by reductions in phylum Firmicutes, family Lachnospiraceae, and genus Coprococcus. Analyses based on the metagenomic profiles revealed that ABX augmented the effect of TAC on microbial metabolic function mostly related to lipid metabolism. The altered components of gut microbiome and predicted microbial functional profiles showed significant correlation with hepatic lipid accumulation and glucose disorders. In conclusion, ABX aggravated the effect of TAC on the microbiome and its metabolic capacities, which might contribute to hepatic lipid accumulation and glucose disorders. These findings suggest that the ABX-altered microbiome can amplify the diabetogenic effect of TAC and could be a novel therapeutic target for patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect and possible mechanism of PI3K/mTOR inhibitor XL765 on KG-1 cells in vitro.@*METHODS@#The effect of XL765 on cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. The colony formation test (200 cells were plated in a plate for 9 days) was used to detect the effect of XL765 on the colony forming ability of KG-1 cells. The apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) was used to detect the expression of cell apoptosis-related genes BCL-2, BAX and caspase-3, Western blot was performed to detect the expression levels of BCL-2, BAX, Caspase-3, and the phosphorylation change of p-PI3K, p-AKT and p-S6K.@*RESULTS@#XL765 effectively inhibited the proliferation and the colony formation of KG-1 cells (P=0.0002). XL765 (150 nmol/L) induced KG-1 cell apoptosis (31.87±1.376%), very statistically significant different from (3.533±0.4179% ) in the control group (P<0.01). Treatment with 150 nmol/L XL765 could in a significantly increase the expression levels of BAX and active caspase-3, and decreases expression level of the BCL-2 (P<0.01). In accordance with these results, the Western blot further confirmed the expression decrease of BCL-2 protein along with the increase BAX and cleaved caspase-3 activity. XL765 statistically significantly down-regulated the phosphorylation levels of PI3K, AKT and S6K.@*CONCLUSION@#PI3K/mTOR inhibitor XL765 substantially suppresses KG-1 cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by inhibiting the activation of PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway, and regulating the apoptosis-related proteins.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the coexisting mutations in IDH-mutated acute myeloid leukemia(AML) and its relation with partial clinical parametrs.@*METHODS@#The exon 4 mutation of IDH1/2 gene was screened by using genome DNA-PCR combined with sanger sequencing, 51 targeted gene mutations in the patients with IDH1/2 mutation were detected by using high throughput DNA sequencing combined with sanger sequencing.@*RESULTS@#Among 358 patients, the IDH1/2 mutation was found in 46 cases including IDH1 mutation in 35 cases and IDH2 mutation in 11 cases, 97.87%(45/46) patients with IDH1/2 mutation simultaneously carried other gene mutations including 8(17.8%) cases with mutation of double gene, 17(37.8%) cases with mutation of 3 genes and 20(44.4%) cases with mutation of ≥ 4 genes. The mutation frequency of each patient averaged 3.52 times. In mutation of accompanied genes, the common genes were NPM1(n=29, 63.0%), next DNMT3A(n=25, 54.3%), FLT3-ITD(n=7, 15.2%), TET2(n=5, 10.9%) and NRAS(n=5, 10.9%). The average WBC level of patients with NPM1 mutation in IDH1 mutation group was higher than that of patients in wild type group(P<0.05). The complete remission (CR) rate of patients with DNMT3A mutation was significant lower than that of patients with wild type (30% vs 80%, P<0.01). The presence of ≥ 4 mutations was found to be significantly associated with higher white blood level than that in the patients with double mutations(P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#More than 95% AML patients with IDH1/2 mutation commonly show additional mutations. The number and the type of IDH coexisting mutations have certain effect on the clinical features and CR rate.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Regulatory T-cells (Treg) play key roles in suppressing cell-mediated immunity in cancer patients. Little is known about perioperative Treg fluctuations in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lobectomy, as a minimal invasive procedure for treating NSCLC, may have relatively less impact on the patient's immune system. This study aimed to observe perioperative dynamics of circulating Treg and natural killer (NK) cell levels in NSCLC patients who underwent major lobectomy by VATS or thoracotomy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Totally, 98 consecutive patients with stage I NSCLC were recruited and assigned into VATS or thoracotomy groups. Peripheral blood samples were taken on 1-day prior to operation, postoperative days (PODs) 1, 3, 7, 30, and 90. Circulating Treg and NK cell counts were assayed by flow cytometry, defined as CD4 + CD25 + CD127 low cells in CD4 + lymphocytes and CD56 + 16 + CD3- cells within CD45 + leukocytes respectively. With SPSS software version 21.0 (SPSS Inc., USA), differences between VATS and thoracotomy groups were determined by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and differences between preoperative baseline and PODs in each group were evaluated by one-way ANOVA Dunnett t-test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In both groups, postoperative Treg percentages were lower than preoperative status. No statistical difference was found between VATS and thoracotomy groups on PODs 1, 3, 7, and 30. On POD 90, Treg percentage in VATS group was significantly lower than in thoracotomy group (5.26 ± 2.75 vs. 6.99 ± 3.60, P = 0.012). However, a higher level of NK was found on all PODs except on POD 90 in VATS group, comparing to thoracotomy group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Lower Treg level on POD 90 and higher NK levels on PODs 1, 3, 7, 30 in VATS group might imply better preserved cell-mediated immune function in NSCLC patients, than those in thoracotomy group.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the influencing factors for the severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 110 preterm infants who were diagnosed with BPD and had a hospital stay of over 28 days between January 2011 and December 2013 were analyzed. These BPD infants were divided into 3 groups according to the clinical criteria: mild group (n=52), moderate group (n=44), and severe group (n=14). The relationship between the severity of BPD and the gestational age, birth weight, asphyxia, oxygen therapy, pregnancy complications, intrauterine pneumonia and mechanical ventilation was analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The severity of BPD was correlated with the following factors: gestational age, birth weight, prenatal infection, duration of oxygen inhalation with a concentration of >40%, use of mechanical ventilation, parameters and duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of continuous positive airway pressure, adoption of intubation surfactant extubation (INSURE) approach, Ureaplasma urealyticum infection, intrauterine pneumonia and patent ductus arteriosus. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the mechanical ventilator parameter peak inspiratory pressure (OR=1.260, 95%CI: 1.096-1.448) and duration of mechanical ventilation (OR=1.010, 95%CI: 1.005-1.016) were independent risk factors for the severity of BPD, while the INSURE approach was a protective factor (OR=0.208, 95%CI: 0.060-0.923).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The severity of BPD is associated with various factors in preterm infants. The important measures for preventing BPD include avoiding the birth of preterm infants with a very low birth weight, shortening the duration of mechanical ventilation, preventing and reducing pulmonary infections, and applying the INSURE approach.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Fragile X syndrome (FXS) may be identified by many methods, such as PCR assay and Southern blot. However, each method has its limits or shortcomings. This study explored the reliability of the rapid, convenient and inexpensive hair root fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP ) assay in the identification of FXS.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>FMRP in hair roots was determined by immunohistochemistry assay in 80 healthy children, in 40 children with mental retardation of unknown etiology and in 12 family members in one pedigree of FXS. FXS was confirmed by 7-deza-dGTP PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was a high expression of FMRP in hair roots (> or =80%) in healthy children. Two children were confirmed with FXS by 7-deza-dGTP PCR in 40 children with mental retardation of unknown etiology. FMRP expression was 10% and zero respectively in the two children. The other 38 children had FMRP expression of more than 80%. FMRP was not expressed in the two cases of FXS from the pedigree of FXS.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Inexpensive, rapid and convenient hair root FMRP assay is reliable for the diagnosis of FXS and may be widely applied for screening and diagnosing FXS in children with mental retardation.</p>

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the value of procalcitonin (PCT) levels in pleural effusion to differentiate the etiology of parapneumonic effusion (PPE). Forty-one consecutive PPE patients were enrolled and were divided into bacterial and non-bacterial PPE. Blood and pleural effusion samples were collected for PCT measurement on admission and analyzed for diagnostic evaluation. PCT of pleural fluid was significantly increased in the bacterial PPE group (0.24 ng/mL) compared to the non-bacterial PPE group (0.09 ng/mL), but there was no significant difference for serum PCT. A PCT concentration of pleural fluid >0.174 ng/mL (best cut-off value) was considered positive for a diagnosis of bacterial PPE (sensitivity, 80%; specificity, 76%; AUC, 0.84). Pleural effusion PCT in the bacterial PPE is significantly different from those of the non-bacterial PPE and control groups, so the diagnostic use of PCT still warrants further investigation.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the lamivudine response of HBV genotypes in patients with HBV DNA positive chronic hepatitis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data from 235 patients in the original trial were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>135 patients received lamivudine and 100 patients as controls. Almost all patients had HBV genotypes B or C. Antiviral response were 92.9% and 75.9% in lamivudine-treated patients (chi-square = 6.628, P < 0.05) and 9.8% and 8.5% in untreated controls (P > 0.05) with HBV genotype B and C, respectively. The incidences of lamivudine-induced mutation in YMDD motif were 3.6% and 16.5% in HBV genotype B and C, respectively (chi-square = 5.508, P < 0.01). We identified HBV genotype B, elevated pretreatment alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, and low pretreatment HBV DNA levels as independent factors associated with antiviral response.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>HBV genotype B was associated with a higher rate of lamivudine-induced HBV DNA clearance and lower rate of lamivudine-induced YMDD mutation compared with genotype C. HBV genotypes may be an important determinant of lamivudine therapy of chronic hepatitis B.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the replication and encapsidation of HBV mutants with the truncated C gene.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The HBV mutants with the truncated C gene were constructed by molecular cloning and PCR-based deletion in vitro. The replication and encapsidation of HBV mutants were investigated by Southern blotting, PCR and real-time fluorescence PCR respectively after transfecting the HBV mutants plasmid into HepG2 cells by using liposome.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The C-truncated HBV mutant vectors were constructed successfully and confirmed exactly by clone sequencing and enzymes digestion. The C-truncated HBV mutants were replication defective, however, all types of HBV DNA could be detected positive in the cytoplasm and supernatant after co-transfecting the C-truncated HBV mutants plasmid and the helper constructs into HepG2 cells. The C-truncated HBV mutants were proved to produce 3-40 folds more progeny DNA than that of the wild-type HBV by DNA quantitative assay.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The C-truncated HBV mutants are replication-deficient and could not replicate and encapsulate in the hepatocytes when transfected solely, however, the progeny HBV-variant viruses are encapsidated more effectively to secrete into supernatant when co-transfected with the helper construct which lacks part of 5 prime-proximal HBV RNA packaging signal Epsilon.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the characteristics of the changes of several metabolic and biochemical indices in dogs with both hindlimbs injured by kinetic weapon. Methods 12 animals were divided into 4 groups (Group Ⅰ, injured by regular weapon; Group Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ injured by imitative kinetic weapons with different energy respectively). Levels of plasma Na+,Ca2+,K+ glucose, AMY, LDH, CK and serum T3,insulin,TSH were determined before and after injured. Results ①Local wounding conditions and distant organs' injuries in group Ⅱ,Ⅲ, and Ⅳ were more serious than those in group Ⅰ. ②Levels of plasma glucose in group Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were inereased significantly after injury than before(P<0.05), but not in group Ⅰ. Levels of Na+,Ca2+,K+,AMY,LDH in 4 groups had similar changes after injury while levels of CK in group Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were inereased significantly than that in group Ⅰ (P<0.05). ③After injury, levels of T3 in serum of all animals showed a decreased tendency and that of insulin decreased more significantly (P<0.05). There was no difference between every two groups. Levels of TSH in group Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were increased significantly after injured than before (P<0.05), but not in group Ⅰ. Conclusion Not only local severe injury but also more serious injury in distant organs and more obvious changes of metabolic and biochemical indices can be induced by kinetic weapons than regular weapons.
