ABSTRACT
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.

The average σvalues of fibrinogen in two national EQAS were 3.6 and 4.1. The average σvalues of Plt counts and MCHC were <4 and >3, and those of other items were more than 6 in two national EQAS. 【Conclusion】 The rule of 13s, 13s/22s/R4s/41s/ and 13s/22s/R4s/41s/ should be used in total protein, fibrinogen and whole blood cell count testing, respectively, by Westgard sigma rule, which can effectively help the blood quality control laboratory select appropriate quality control rules.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the actual situation and measurement data of human resources deployment in public general hospitals in Pudong New Area, so as to provide a data basis for further optimizing the human resources deployment plan.Methods:The Pudong New Area Health Statistical Information System was used to collect the staffing information and business data of 9 public general hospitals in Pudong New Area, Shanghai in 2019. On such basis, the numbers of officially budgeted positions and actual positions were calculated. Descriptive analyses of the data were performed to compare the theoretical and actual quantities by paired t-test and Wilcoxn signed-rank sum test. Results:The actual number of officially budgeted positions of the 9 hospitals was less than the theoretical number( Z=-2.55, P=0.011), while the actual number of positions was less than that of theoretical number( t=3.36, P=0.010). The proportion of the officially budgeted position shortage at tertiary hospitals(72.77%)was higher than that of secondary hospitals(36.94%). The proportion of position shortage at tertiary hospitals(16.14%)was less than that at secondary hospitals(38.78%). Conclusions:Area-owned general hospitals are in shortage of human resources, while secondary and tertiary hospitals have different needs for human resources. The actual situation of a hospital should be comprehensively considered to develop an optimal deployment plan for human resources.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the value of scenario-based learning (SBL) in humanistic education of residents during rotation in department of geriatrics.Methods:Residents who were trained in Department of Geriatrics of Peking University First Hospital from March 5, 2019 to April 6, 2020 were selected as research objects and they were randomly assigned to SBL group and traditional training (TT) group for 4 weeks of humanistic education including humanistic knowledge learning and humanistic spirit cultivation. For humanistic knowledge learning, 56 residents were taught together. For humanistic spirit cultivation, SBL training and traditional training were conducted in the two groups respectively. The SBL group trained the residents through the simulation of such 4 scenarios as daily diagnosis and treatment work, emergency and critical care, diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients with mental disorders and hospice care, while TT group adopted traditional lecturing. After 8 weeks of training, the effects of SBL on the humanistic education were evaluated through simulated doctor-patient consultation scenarios. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results:A total of 56 residents participated in the training and complete the assessment. There were no significant differences in gender, age and duration of standardized training, respectively. However, the SEGUE scores of doctor-patient communication ability in SBL group were significantly superior to those of the TT group[(115.80±5.46) points vs. (109.71 ± 5.82), P<0.001]. Further analysis showed that among the 25 items of SEGUE scale, there were significant difference in the scores of 10 items (3rd, 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 18th, 19th, 22nd, 24th) between the two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In humanistic education, SBL plays an important role in improving humanistic qualities of rotation residents in department of geriatrics, which is deserved to promote.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical features of IgD multiple myeloma (MM) and the effect and prognosis of daratumumab-based combination therapy.Methods:The clinicopathological data of a IgD MM patient with disease progression and extramedullary infiltration treated with daratumumab in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University in December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The 74-year-old woman was diagnosed as IgD MM by bone marrow aspiration and immunofixation electrophoresis. The patient was given VD (bortezomib, dexamethasone), RD (lenalidomide, dexamethasone) and ID (ixazomib, dexamethasone) regimens. In June 2020, the patient developed multiple subcutaneous nodules, and she was assessed as progressive disease with extensive extramedullary infiltration. After treated with daratumumab-PAD (liposomal doxorubicin, bortezomib, dexamethasone) regimen, the patient's subcutaneous nodules were significantly reduced and partially disappeared, and the general condition was significantly improved. But the patient was in a cachexia state and finally died of the irregular treatment and disease progression.Conclusions:IgD MM has a low incidence and a short survival period, and there is no uniform standard treatment. The early application of daratumumab combined with proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators, cytotoxic drugs and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may improve the overall survival of patients.
ABSTRACT
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.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of lithium chloride (LiCl) on the gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in human Tenon capsule fibroblasts (HTFs) and its underlying mechanism.Methods:The Tenon capsule tissue of a patient who underwent strabismus surgery in Dezhou People's Hospital in April 2019 was collected and cut into tissue blocks of dimensions 1 mm×1 mm×1 mm.Primary culture and subculture were carried out, and the 4th-generation HTFs were taken for experiment.HTFs were divided into the control group and LiCl treatment group and were cultured with cell medium without or with 80 mmol/L LiCl for another 48 hours according to grouping.The cell scratch and dye labeling technique were used to label the coupling index and evaluate the GJIC function.The expression and localization of Cx43 in HTFs were detected by immunofluorescence staining.The expression levels of Cx43 mRNA and protein were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot, respectively.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Dezhou People's Hospital (No.2019-023). Written informed consent was obtained from the subject.Results:The cultured spindle-shaped HTFs grew adhering to the wall showing radial monolayer or vortexlike, and the cytoplasm was vimentin positive.Results of dye tracer experiment of cell scratch showed that the cell coupling index of LiCl treatment group was 9.04±0.53, which was significantly higher than 4.94±0.39 of the control group ( t=-18.79, P<0.01). Immunofluorescence staining showed that the Cx43 fluorescence was dotted in the cell membrane between adjacent cells in the control group, and Cx43 staining was obviously enhanced in the LiCl treatment group.The results of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that with relative expression level of Cx43 mRNA in the control group set to 1, the relative expression level of Cx43 in the LiCl treatment group was significantly increased to 1.97±0.23, showing a statistical significance between them ( t=-14.426, P<0.01). Western blot showed that the relative expression level of Cx43 protein was 0.871±0.057 in the LiCl treatment group, which was significantly higher than 0.446±0.028 in the control group ( t=-11.682, P<0.01). Conclusions:LiCl can enhance the GJIC function between HTFs by upregulating the expression levels of Cx43 mRNA and protein, suggesting that the enhanced GJIC function by LiCl may be one of the mechanisms of its inhibition on HTFs proliferation.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#The aim of the present study was to investigate the survival rate and its prognostic factors for patients with biliary tract cancer, and then a prognostic risk prediction model was constructed to predict the survival probability of patients.@*Methods@#A total of 14 005 patients with biliary tract cancer (including gallbladder cancer, extrahepatic bile duct cancer, and ampulla of Vater cancer), who were diagnosed between 2010 and 2015 in the US National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) were included in the development cohort. The prognostic risk factors of biliary tract cancer were investigated using multivariate Cox regression models. The predictive nomograms were then constructed to predict the overall survival probability of 1, 3, and 5 years, and the predictive discrimination and calibration ability of the nomograms were further evaluated. Meanwhile, 11 953 patients who were diagnosed during 2004 to 2009 from SEER Program were then selected to validate the external predictive accuracy of the prediction models.@*Results@#The 1, 3 and 5-year cumulative survival rates of patients with biliary tract cancer were 41.9%, 20.4% and 15.3%, respectively, in the development cohort. Age greater than 50 years, African Americans and Native Americans and Alaska Natives, higher T, N and M stage and poor histological differentiation grade were risk factors for death, while married status, Asia-Pacific Islanders, insured status and surgery on primary site were protective factors. Gender was not significantly associated with the overall survival. The C statistic of the prediction model was 0.73 (95%CI: 0.72-0.74), and the calibration curve showed that the interaction curves of predictive and actual survival rates of 1, 3 and 5 years were close to the 45 degree diagonal. Results in the validation cohort were similar with those in the construction cohort, with a C statistic of 0.70 (95%CI: 0.69-0.72), indicating high external applicability of the prediction model. Findings from gallbladder cancer, extrahepatic bile duct cancer, and ampulla of Vater cancer are in consistent with the overall biliary tract cancer.@*Conclusions@#The survival rate of patients with biliary tract cancer is relatively poor, and the survival prediction model based on prognostic factors has high prediction accuracy. In the future, this prognostic prediction model could be applied to clinical practice to guide individualized treatment for patients with biliary tract cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of rapamycin,an mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway inhibitor,on the proliferation,migration and fibrosis of human pterygium fibroblasts (PFBs).Methods Pterygium tissues were collected from patients with primary pterygium who underwent surgical excision in Shenyang Fourth People's Hospital from May to July 2015.The tissues were cultured in vitro and the PFBs were identified by anti-human vimentin immunofluorescence assay.The 3 to 5 generation cells were used for the experiments.The viability of cells treated with different concentrations of rapamycin was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT).The cells were divided into normal control group and rapamycin group,and the scratch wound healing test was used to evaluate migration of the PFBs.The expressions of MKI67,α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),fibronectin,caspase3,mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and LC3B mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Results The cultured cells showed morphology of long spindle and were vimentin immunopositive.The cell viability in rapamycin treated PFBs demonstrated a dose-dependent decrease.At 24 hours after culture,The cell viability in 30 μmol/L rapamycin group was (76.67±8.84)％ of that in 0 μmol/L rapamycin group (P＜0.001).The relative residual scratch width in 30 μ mol/L rapamycin group was (35.40±11.62) ％ 48 hours after scratch,which was significantly greater than (2.45±0.76) ％ in the normal control group (P＜0.05).Real-time quantitative PCR showed that the mRNA expressions of MKI67,α-SMA,fibronectin and mTOR in rapamycin group were significantly decreased when compared with those in normal control group (all at P＜0.05).The expression of LC3B mRNA in rapamycin group was significantly higher than that in normal control group (P＜0.05).The mRNA expression of caspase3 was not significantly different between the two groups (P=0.861).Conclusions Rapamycin can effectively inhibit the proliferation,migration and fibrosis of PFBs without affecting the cell survival.Detailed mechanism remains to be further studied.Rapamycin may serve as an anti-fibrosis agent to prevent the progression and recurrence of pterygium in the future.
