Advances in the research of HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 inhibitors / 药学学报

From the process of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) invading cells, the combination of gp120 and CD4 is the first step for HIV-1 to invade cells. Interfering with this process can prevent HIV from recognizing target cells and inhibit virus replication. Therefore, HIV-1 gp120 is an important part of the HIV-1 life cycle. Fostesavir, a phosphatate prodrug derived from the gp120 inhibitor BMS-626529 modified by the prodrug strategy, was approved for the treatment of adult patients with multidrug resistant HIV-1 infection by the US FDA and the European Medicines Agency in 2020 and 2021, respectively. In this review, we focus on the research progress of small molecule inhibitors targeting the interaction of gp120-CD4 from the perspective of medicinal chemistry, in order to provide reference for the subsequent research of gp120 inhibitors.

Effect of liberal or conservative oxygen therapy on the prognosis for mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients: a meta-analysis

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: For critically ill patients, physicians tend to administer sufficient or even excessive oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation at a high level. However, the credibility of the evidence for this practice is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of different oxygen therapy strategies on the outcomes of mechanically ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients. DESIGN AND SETTING: Systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis conducted at Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital, Affiliated to Nanchang University, Nanchang, China. METHODS: We systematically searched electronic databases such as PubMed and Embase for relevant articles and performed meta-analyses on the effects of different oxygen therapy strategies on the outcomes of mechanically ventilated ICU patients. RESULTS: A total of 1802 patients from five studies were included. There were equal numbers of patients in the conservative and liberal groups (n = 910 in each group). There was no significant difference between the conservative and liberal groups with regard to 28-day mortality (risk ratio, RR = 0.88; 95% confidence interval, CI = 0.59-1.32; P = 0.55; I2 = 63%). Ninety-day mortality, infection rates, ICU length of stay, mechanical ventilation-free days up to day 28 and vasopressor-free days up to day 28 were comparable between the two strategies. CONCLUSIONS: It is not necessary to use liberal oxygen therapy strategies to pursue a higher level of peripheral oxygen saturation for mechanically ventilated ICU patients. Conservative oxygen therapy was not associated with any statistically significant reduction in mortality.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic integral pelvic floor/ligament repair (IPFLR) combined with a procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) and that laparoscopic IPFLR alone in the treatment of internal rectal prolapse (IRP) in women.Methods:Patients were divided into groups A in which 63 patients undergoing laparoscopic IPFLR alone, and group B of 67 patients reciving laparoscopic IPFLR combined with PPH. The degree of internal rectal prolapse (DIRP), Wexner constipation scale (WCS) score, Wexner incontinence scale (WIS) score, and Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) score were compared between these two groups and in each group those before surgery and 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery.Results:The number of bowel movements , DIRP, WCS score, WIS score, and GIQLI score before surgery were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). The DIRP, WCS score, WIS score, and GIQLI score in each group 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery in both two groups were significantly better than those before surgery (all P<0.001). The DIRP, WCS score, WIS score, and GIQLI score in group B were significantly better than those in group A at 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery (all P<0.05) except DIRP at 2 years after surgery (all P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the recurrence rate of IRP between the two groups when evaluated at 5 years after surgery ( P=0.001). Conclusions:Integral theory-guided laparoscopic IPFLR combined with PPH has a higher cure rate and a better clinical efficacy than laparoscopic IPFLR alone.

Regulatory Effect of Herbal Pair Astragali Radix-Puerariae Lobatae Radix on PI3K/Akt/FoxO1 Signaling Pathway in Rats with T2DM Based on Network Pharmacology / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of herbal pair Astragali Radix-Puerariae Lobatae Radix （AR-PLR） against type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） based on network pharmacology and experimental verification. MethodThe active ingredients and targets of AR and PLR were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP）. The related targets of T2DM were retrieved from disease databases and the common targets of drugs and diseases were extracted. The protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was analyzed and constructed by STRING and the network topology of key targets was analyzed by Cytoscape 3.7.1. Then gene ontology（GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes（KEGG） enrichment analyses of core targets were carried out by DAVID to explore its possible molecular mechanism. The T2DM model was induced in rats by the high-fat diet combined with tail intravenous injection of streptozocin. The rats were divided into a normal group，a model group，a metformin group，and high-，medium- and low-dose AR-PLR groups. After four weeks of intragastric administration，the serum levels of fasting blood sugar （FBS），fasting insulin（FINS），aspartate aminotransferase（AST），alanine aminotransferase（ALT），triglyceride（TG），total cholesterol（TC），low-density lipoprotein cholesterin（LDL-C），high-density lipoprotein cholesterin （HDL-C），interleukin-6（IL-6）， and tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α） of rats in each group were measured. The protein expression of insulin receptor substrate-2（IRS-2），phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase（PI3K），protein kinase B（Akt）， and forkhead box transcription factor O1（FoxO1） in rat liver was detected by Western blot. ResultA total of 131 core targets of AR-PLR in the treatment of T2DM were screened out by network pharmacology， where Akt1，mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 （MAPK1），TNF-α，and IL-6 were critical. As revealed by KEGG enrichment analysis， AR-PLR exerted the hypoglycemic effect mainly through the PI3K/Akt，TNF， and FoxO signaling pathways. Compared with the model group，the high- and medium-dose AR-PLR groups showed reduced FBS and FINS levels and increased glycogen level （P<0.05，P<0.01），all the AR-PLR groups showed decreased levels of AST，ALT，TG， and LDL-C （P<0.05，P<0.01）， the high- and low-dose AR-PLR groups showed decreased TC levels （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the high- and medium-dose AR-PLR groups showed reduced levels of IL-6 and TNF-α（P<0.05，P<0.01）， and the high-dose AR-PLR group showed increased expression of IRS-2， Akt， p-Akt， PI3K， and p-PI3K， and decreased expression of FoxO1 protein（P<0.05）. ConclusionAR-PLR has the characteristics of multi-component，Multi-target and multi-pathway in the treatment of T2DM. This herbal pair may regulate the PI3K/Akt/FoxO1 signaling pathway through IL-6， TNF-α， and other targets to affect insulin resistance， glycogen synthesis， gluconeogenesis， glucose transport， inflammation， immune response， and other processes， thereby treating T2DM.

Effect of carrier materials on the properties of the andrographolide solid dispersion

Abstract In the work the andrographolide (AG)-solid dispersions (SDs) were prepared by the spray-drying method, using polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG8000), Poloxamer188, polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVPK30), Soluplus® as carrier materials. The effect of different polymers as carrier materials on the properties of the AG-SDs were studied. The results showed obvious differences in intermolecular interaction, thermal stability, drug state, powder properties, dissolution behavior, and so on of AG-SDs prepared using different polymers as carrier materials. AG-PEG8000-SD was a partial-crystalline and partial-amorphous powder with smaller surface area and pore volume, but it was easy to wetting and did not swell in contact with dissolved medium. AG-Soluplus®-SD was completely amorphous powder with larger specific surface area and pore volume, but it swelled in contact with water. Therefore, the dissolution profile of AG in AG-PEG8000-SD was similar to that in AG-Soluplus®-SD. Soluplus® and PEG8000 were suitable polymers to design AG-SDs, considering both physicochemical properties and dissolution behaviors. The results of this reseach showed that when selecting carrier materials for SD, we should not only consider the state of drugs in SD and the powder properties of SD, but also consider whether there is swelling when the carrier materials are in contact with the dissolution medium.

Objective:To evaluate pelvic floor holistic theory used in the treatment of complete rectal prolapse (CRP).Methods:Forty-two CRP patients at No. 989 Hospital between Oct 2015 and Jun 2019 were divided into group A ( n=23) treated by laparoscopic rectopexy associated with the procedure for PPH, and group B ( n=19), by Altemeier precedure. The degree of rectal prolapse, Wexner fecal incontinence score and Wexner constipation score were evaluated before operation and at the 6th,12th and 24th months after operation Results:The operation time of the two groups were (53±6) and (90±9) min; intraoperative blood loss was (14±5) and (80±19) ml; the hospital stay was (8.9±1.7) and (13.5±2.1)d, all P<0.05. There was no significant difference in postoperative recurrence between the two groups ( P>0.05). The degree of rectal prolapse in group A and B were (9.5±1.7) and (8.7±1.5)cm; the 6 th, 12 th and 24 th months after operation were [(-1.0±1.6), (-0.2±1.8)cm; (-1.0±1.3), (-0.3±1.5)cm; (-0.8±1.2), (-0.5±1.6)cm], all P<0.05. The preoperative constipation in group A and group B was (6.4±1.7) and (6.4±1.5) respectively; the 6 th, 12 th and 24 th months after operation were [(2.8±1.0) vs. (3.0±1.3); (2.6±1.1) vs. (2.8±1.3); (2.0±0.9) vs. (2.3±1.1)], all P<0.05. The preoperative fecal incontinence score of group A and group B were (7.6±1.7) vs. (7.1±1.5); the 6 th, 12 th and 24 th months after operation were [(3.7±1.7) vs. (3.4±1.2); (3.5±1.8) vs. (3.1±1.1); (3.4±1.9) vs. (2.6±1.3)], all P<0.05.

In vitro study of chlorhexidine acetate compound mesoporous silica orthodontic modified binder resin / 口腔疾病防治

Objective@#The antibacterial properties and bonding strength of 3M orthodontic adhesive resin modified by chlorhexidine acetate (CHA) composite mesoporous silica were investigated.@*Methods@# CHA with different mass fractions was encapsulated in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) (denoted CHA@MSNs). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the samples. The 3M Z350XT flow resin was divided into 4 groups: group A: 3M+CHA@MSNs (0%); group B: 3M+CHA@MSNs (3%); group C: 3M+CHA@MSNs (5%); and group D: 3M+CHA@MSNs (6.4%), with mass scores of 0%, 3%, 5%, and 6.4%, respectively. The shear strength of the modified adhesive was tested by a universal electronic material testing machine, the adhesive residue was observed by a 10 × magnifying glass, and the adhesive Remnant index (ARI) was calculated. The four groups of modified adhesives were cultured with Streptococcus mutans. The OD540 value of the bacterial solution was measured by a spectrophotometer, and the amount of plaque attachment was observed by scanning electron microscopy to evaluate the antibacterial performance of the adhesives.@*Results@#Infrared spectroscopic analysis of CHA@MSNs showed that CHA was successfully loaded onto MSNs. Under scanning electron microscopy, it could be seen that, after Cha was combined with MSNs, the structure of MSNs changed, as the boundary was fuzzy and aggregated into a layered structure. A comparison of shear strength revealed a statistically significant difference between the groups containing CHA@MSNs and the groups without CHA@MSNs (P<0.05). The value of the shear strength in group D decreased the most, while there was no statistically significant difference between group B and group C (P > 0.05). There was no statistical significance across all groups (P > 0.05), suggesting that the addition of CHA@MSNs had little effect on the bracket shedding. The OD540 value of bacterial fluid indicated that the difference among groups A, B and C was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the antibacterial effect of group C was the best; there was no statistically significant difference between group C and group D (P > 0.05).@*Conclusions@#Therefore, adding 5% CHA@MSN antibacterial agent significantly improved the antibacterial effect and did not affect the bond strength.

Risk factors analysis of central airway stenosis after lung transplantation / 器官移植

Objective To investigate the risk factors of central airway stenosis after lung transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 155 recipients undergoing lung transplantation in Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from July 2016 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the incidence of central airway stenosis following lung transplantation, all recipients were divided into the stenosis group (n=36) and control group (n=119). The incidence of central airway stenosis after lung transplantation was summarized. The risk factors of central airway stenosis after lung transplantation were assessed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results Among 155 lung transplant recipients, 36 cases (23.2%) developed central airway stenosis. The average incidence time was (53±13) d after lung transplantation. Univariate analysis demonstrated that bilateral lung transplantation, grade 3 primary graft dysfunction (PGD), airway fungal infection, long cold ischemia time, long mechanical ventilation time and long intensive care unit (ICU) stay were the risk factors for central airway stenosis after lung transplantation (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that airway fungal infection, long cold ischemia time and long mechanical ventilation time were the independent risk factors for central airway stenosis after lung transplantation (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Airway fungal infection after lung transplantation, long cold ischemia time and long mechanical ventilation time probably lead to central airway stenosis after lung transplantation. Active preventive measures and intimate monitoring should be taken to improve the quality of life of the recipients after lung transplantation.

Percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopic lithotripsy versus open hepatectomy for treatment of complicated hepatolithiasis - a propensity score matching study / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To study minimally invasive treatment using percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopic lithotripsy (PTCSL) to treat complicated hepatolithiasis.Methods:Patients with complicated hepatolithiasis who were treated at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from July 2017 to September 2021, were included into this study. There were 48 patients treated with PTCSL (the PTCSL group) and 150 patients treated with conventional open hepatectomy (the OH group). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match 40 patients in the PTCSL group with 40 patients in the OH group. There were 11 males and 29 females, aged 32 to 85 (59.3±12.7) years in the PTCSL group and 15 males and 25 females, aged 20 to 74 (55.4±10.9) years in the OH group. Theoperation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization time, hospitalization cost, incidences of major complications (including pleural effusion, biliary bleeding), residual stone rates and recurrence rates were analyzed.Results:Baseline data were comparable between groups after PSM. For the PTCSL group, the operation time was (135.8±42.6) minutes, intraoperative bleeding volume 32.5(20.0, 50.0) ml, hospitalization time 13.5(11.0, 18.0) days, and hospitalization expense 3.4(2.9, 5.0) wanyuan compared with the corresponding figures in the OH group with operation time (350.7±113.8) minutes, intraoperative bleeding volume 475.0(200.0, 900.0) ml, hospitalization time 24.0(17.3, 28.8) days, and hospitalization expense 6.6(5.0, 8.9) wanyuan. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The overall complication rate was 2.5%(1/40) in the PTCSL group and 22.5%(9/40) in the OH group (χ 2=7.31, P=0.007). The residual stone rate of 20.0%(8/40), stone recurrence rate of 17.5%(7/40), compared with the OH group with the stone residual rate of 27.5%(11/40), stone recurrence rate of 12.5%(5/40). There was no significant difference between the two groups in both the stone residual rates and stone recurrence rates (both P>0.05). Conclusion:In treatment of complex hepatolithiasis, the stone residual rate after repeated PTCSL was comparable to traditional open hepatectomy. PTCSL had the advantages of shorter operation time, less bleeding, lower hospitalization time, lower complication rate and lower hospitalization cost. PTCSL is worthy of wider application and popularization.

Cases in pathological stage N0, N1, N2, N3 were 19, 44, 85, 107 of the patients with the time to postoperative recurrence and metastasis ≤5 years, versus 12, 5, 18, 8 of the patients with the time to postoperative recurrence and metastasis >5 years, showing a significant difference in pathological N staging between them ( Z=-3.34, P<0.05). Further analysis showed significant differences in cases in pathological stage N0 and N3 ( χ2=16.52, 8.47, P<0.05) but no significant difference in cases in pathological stage N1 or N2 ( χ2=0.85, 1.18, P>0.05). The median overall survival time was 81 months after surgery and 10-year overall survival rate was 46.1% of 652 patients. The 10-year overall survival rates of patients in TNM stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ were 59.6% and 37.5%, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=35.29, P<0.05). In further analysis, the 10-year overall survival rates of patients in pathological TNM stage ⅡA, ⅡB, ⅢA, ⅢB and ⅢC were 65.6%, 55.8%, 46.9%, 37.1% and 24.0%, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=55.06, P<0.05). The 10-year overall survival rates of patients in patholo-gical stage T2, T3 and T4a were 55.2%, 46.5% and 41.5%, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=8.39, P<0.05). The 10-year overall survival rates of patients in patholo-gical stage N0, N1, N2 and N3 were 63.7%, 56.2%, 48.5% and 26.4%, respectively, showing a signifi-cant difference between them ( χ2=54.89, P<0.05). (5) Prognostic factors analysis: results of univariate analysis showed that age, maximum diameter of tumor, degree of tumor differentiation as low or undifferentiated, pathological TNM staging, pathological T staging, pathological stage N2 or N3, post-operative chemotherapy were related factors for the 10-year overall survival rate of locally advanced gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic D 2 radical distal gastrectomy ( hazard ratio=1.45, 1.64, 1.37, 2.05, 1.30, 1.68, 3.08, 0.56, 95% confidence interval as 1.15-1.84, 1.32-2.03, 1.05-1.77, 1.62-2.59, 1.05-1.61, 1.17-2.42, 2.15-4.41, 0.44-0.70, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that maximum diameter of tumor >4 cm, low-differentiated or undifferentiated tumor, pathological TNM stage Ⅲ were independent risk factors for the 10-year overall survival rate of locally advanced gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic D 2 radical distal gastrectomy ( hazard ratio=1.48,1.44, 1.81, 95% confidence interval as 1.19-1.84, 1.11-1.88, 1.42-2.30, P<0.05) and postoperative chemotherapy was a independent protective factor for the 10-year overall survi-val rate of locally advanced gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic D 2 radical distal gastrec-tomy ( hazard ratio=0.57, 95% confidence interval as 045-0.73, P<0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic assisted D 2 radical distal gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer has satisfactory 10-year oncologic outcomes. A high proportion of patients in pathological TNM stage Ⅲ, pathological stage T4a, pathological stage N3 have the time to postoperative recurrence and metastasis ≤5 years, whereas a high proportion of patients in pathological TNM stage Ⅱ or pathological stage N0 have the time to postoperative recurrence and metastasis >5 years. Maximum diameter of tumor >4 cm, low-differentiated or undifferentiated tumor, pathological TNM stage Ⅲ are independent risk factors for the 10-year overall survival rate of locally advanced gastric cancer patients undergoing laparos-copic D 2 radical distal gastrectomy.

Effect of Age on the Time of Neutropenia after Initial Induction Therapy for Patients with Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect of age on the time of neutropenia after initial induction therapy for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.@*METHODS@#Data of 18-65 years old AML patients treated in our hospital from Junuary 2015 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics, time of neutropenia after initial induction treatment, early responses, and related influencing factors for the time of neutropenia were analyzed and compared between 18-40 years old group and 41-65 years old group.@*RESULTS@#There were 112 patients enrolled in this study, including 66 (58.9%) males, and their median age was 46 years old. Compared with 18-40 years old group, the incidence of FLT3-ITD gene mutation increased (P=0.039) but core binding factor (CBF) decreased (P=0.003) significantly in 41-65 years old group. The incidence of neutropenia was 97.3%, and the average time was (18.70±1.192) days. The time of neutropenia was (21.43±1.736) days in 41-65 years old group, which was longer than (14.91±1.356) days in 18-40 years old group (P=0.006). The time of neutropenia in CBF positive group was shorter than that in negative group (P=0.012), as well as in patients with remission (CR+CRi) (≤ 2 courses) than those with non-remission (NR) (P=0.024), while in high-risk group was longer than that in low-risk group (P=0.040). Multivariate analysis showed that age, FLT3-ITD gene mutation positive, and non-remission (NR) after two courses of treatment were independent risk factors for the time of neutropenia.@*CONCLUSION@#In non-elderly patients with newly diagnosed AML, age is an influencing factor for the time of neutropenia.

Association between functional dyspepsia and serum levels of brain-gut peptides in children / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To study the association between functional dyspepsia (FD) and serum levels of brain-gut peptides including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), nesfatin-1, and ghrelin in children.@*METHODS@#A total of 38 children with FD who attended Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from November 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled as the FD group. Thirty-four healthy children were enrolled as the control group. Serum samples were collected from all of the children. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure serum levels of CGRP, ghrelin, and nesfatin-1 for comparison between the two groups. The scores of clinical symptoms were determined for the children with FD. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of symptom scores with the serum levels of brain-gut peptides.@*RESULTS@#The FD group had significantly higher serum levels of nesfatin-1 and CGRP than the control group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in the serum level of ghrelin between the two groups (P>0.05). The serum level of nesfatin-1 was positively correlated with the symptom score of early satiety (rs=0.553, P<0.001), but was not significantly correlated with the total score of FD (rs=0.191, P=0.250). The serum level of CGRP was positively correlated with the scores of abdominal pain (rs=0.479, P=0.002) and belching (rs=0.619, P<0.001) and the total score of FD (rs=0.541, P<0.001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#CGRP and nesfatin-1 may play an important role in the pathophysiological process of FD.

The cerebral blood flow in the model group was significantly lower than the control group at 1, 3 and 6 h after MCAO (P<0.01), while for the EA group it was remarkably higher than the model group at the same time points (P<0.01). The expressions of Gq, CaM, IP3, DAG and [Ca@*CONCLUSION@#EA treatment at GV 26 can effectively decrease the over-expression of related factors of PI system in rats with acute cerebral infarction, improve cerebral autonomy movement, and alleviate cerebral vascular spasm.

Clinical features and molecular genetic analysis of 6q24-related transient neonatal diabetes mellitus / 中华围产医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical and molecular genetic characteristics of 6q24-related transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (6q24-TNDM).Methods:The clinical data of two neonates with 6q24-TNDM admitted to Shanghai Children's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2017, were retrospectively collected. The methylation levels of 16 cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) sites from the methylated differentially modified region (DMR) in 6q24 were quantitatively analyzed by pyrosequencing.Results:Case 1, aged 5 d, was born at 37 +4 gestational weeks due to fetal growth restriction, and case 2 was 11-days old and born at 38 +2 gestational weeks. Both infants were male and small for age. They were born through a cesarean section. The birth weight of case 1 and case 2 were 2 340 g and 2 600 g, respectively. They were admitted due to hyperglycemia with blood glucose of 12.95 and 8.00 mmol/L on admission, respectively. Physical examination showed slightly poor skin elasticity and thin subcutaneous fat. Laboratory examination revealed lower serum insulin (<1.39 and 3.94 pmol/L) and peptide C (0.05 and 0.14 nmol/L) levels, positive results of urine glucose, negative tests for urine ketone, serum anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody, anti-insulin antibody, and islet cell antibody in both cases. Normal size of the pancreas was observed by ultrasonography. The infants were improved and were discharged after subcutaneous insulin infusion for more than two weeks. The treatment was discontinued at 69 d and 42 d postnatally for case 1 and case 2. Prenatal diagnosis of the two infants showed normal karyotypes and uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 indicated by single nucleotide polymorphism chip. No pathogenic mutations were detected by next-generation sequencing after admission. The methylation levels of 16 CpG sites in DMR of 6q24 in the two cases, which were quantitatively analyzed by pyrosequencing, were lower than 10% (normal value in healthy matched controls: 40%), indicating an obvious hypomethylation. Conclusions:For children with TNDM who are small for gestational age at birth, presenting hyperglycemia with decreased serum insulin and C-peptide levels, pyrosequencing can be used to quantitatively analyze the methylation levels of CpG sites in 6q24 DMR, which can quickly and directly assist in the diagnosis of 6q24-TNDM, thereby contributing to the treatment and prognosis assessment.

Diagnosis and treatment progress on airway anastomotic stenosis after lung transplantation / 器官移植

Lung transplantation is the only effective treatment of most end-stage lung diseases. Airway anastomotic complications are the main obstacles affecting the postoperative survival and quality of life of lung transplant recipients. Airway anastomotic stenosis is the most common airway anastomotic complication after lung transplantation. In recent years, improvements in the recipient selection, organ preservation, surgical techniques, postoperative intensive care management, immunosuppression, antifungal and endoscopic treatment have decreased the incidence of airway anastomotic stenosis and improved the surgical efficacy of lung transplantation and the survival of the recipients. In this article, the pathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of airway anastomotic stenosis after lung transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide novel ideas for clinical research, diagnosis and treatment of airway anastomotic stenosis following lung transplantation.

Experimental study on the role of IL-10 in improving donor lung function after ex vivo lung perfusion in rats of cardiac death / 器官移植

Objective To evaluate the effect of interleukin (IL)-10 on donor lung function after ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) in rats of cardiac death. Methods Twenty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into the simple perfusion group (group A, n=10) and modified perfusion group (group B, n=10). Perfusate A (without IL-10) and perfusate B (supplemented with IL-10) was administered in group A and B, respectively. The EVLP rat models of cardiac death were established. The appearance of donor lung, dry-to-wet (D/W) ratio of donor lung tissues, the function and metabolism of donor lung, the morphology of donor lung and the levels of inflammatory markers of donor lung were statistically compared between two groups. Results After perfusion, evident edema of the whole donor lung, poor compliance and a large amount of edema fluid discharged from the airway were observed in group A, whereas no obvious edema and good compliance were found in group B. Compared with group A, the D/W ratio of lung tissues in group B was higher (P < 0.05). In both groups, the pulmonary vein partial pressure of oxygen reached the peak at 2 h after perfusion, which did not significantly differ between two groups (P > 0.05). In group B, the pulmonary artery pressure was increased at a lower speed and significantly lower after perfusion, and the lactic acid level in the perfusate was significantly lower than those in group A (all P < 0.05). In group A, the alveolar structure was largely destroyed and the cells was rare. In group B, the alveolar structure was relatively normal without evident cell edema. The incidence of cell apoptosis of donor lung was high in group A, whereas no obvious cell apoptosis of donor lung was noted in group B. After perfusion for 4 h, the levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 and IL-6 were significantly increased, the IL-4 levels were remarkably decreased (all P < 0.05), but the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-1α and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) did not significantly change in both groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusions IL-10 may improve the function of donor lung after EVLP in rat of cardiac death by reducing cell apoptosis.
