ABSTRACT

Purpose To evaluate the classification criteria of triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)based on histomorphol-ogy and immunohistochemistry(IHC),and to provide theoreti-cal basis for the classification and treatment of TNBCs.Methods TNBC subtyping was performed according to the histomorphologi-cal characteristics and the expression of immune markers AR,CD8 and FOXC1,and the clinicopathological features and prog-nostic differences were compared.Results Among 93 cases of TNBC,there were 23 cases(24.7%)of luminal androgen re-ceptor subtypes,24 cases(25.8%)of immunomodulatory type,39 cases(42.0%)of basal immunosuppressive type,and 7 ca-ses(7.5%)of mesenchymal type.There were significant differ-ences in the clinicopathological features of subtypes,including pT stage(P=0.030),histological grade(P<0.001),intersti-tial lymphocyte infiltration pattern(P<0.001),expression of PD-L1(P<0.001),and HER2-low(P=0.024).There was no significant difference in disease-free survival among the sub-types(P>0.05).Univariate survival analysis showed there was significant difference in disease-free survival among the subtypes at pT1 stage(P=0.011),and other clinicopathological features were not independent prognostic factors.Conclusion The clini-copathological characteristics of TNBC subtypes are different,which are expected to be an alternative choice for complex gene expression profile analysis and to provide theoretical basis for subtypic therapy and targeted therapy.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Clinical outcomes are poor if patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are discharged with residual congestion in the presence of renal dysfunction. However, there is no single indication to reflect the combined effects of the two related pathophysiological processes. We, therefore, proposed an indicator, congestion and renal index (CRI), and examined the associations between the CRI and one-year outcomes and the incremental prognostic value of CRI compared with the established scoring systems in a multicenter prospective cohort of AHF.@*METHODS@#We enrolled AHF patients and calculated the ratio of thoracic fluid content index divided by estimated glomerular filtration rate before discharge, as CRI. Then we examined the associations between CRI and one-year outcomes.@*RESULTS@#A total of 944 patients were included in the analysis (mean age 63.3 ± 13.8 years, 39.3% women). Compared with patients with CRI ≤ 0.59 mL/min per kΩ, those with CRI > 0.59 mL/min per kΩ had higher risks of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization (HR = 1.56 [1.13-2.15]) and all-cause death or all-cause hospitalization (HR = 1.33 [1.01-1.74]). CRI had an incremental prognostic value compared with the established scoring system.@*CONCLUSIONS@#In patients with AHF, CRI is independently associated with the risk of death or hospitalization within one year, and improves the risk stratification of the established risk models.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of dapagliflozin on cognitive function in middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and related factors.Methods:This was a retrospective study. A total of 200 patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from August 2021 to August 2022 were recruited randomly. They were divided into the dapagliflozin group and control group. Clinical data were collected; plasma levels of β-amyloid protein(Aβ) 40 and Aβ42 were measured. The Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) and the mini-mental state examination(MMSE) were employed to assess cognitive function in both groups. Based on MoCA scores, patients in the dapagliflozin group were further categorized into mild cognitive impairment(MCI) and non-MCI subgroups. Differences among groups were analyzed and compared using t-test, χ2 test, and Mann-Whitney U test, and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify relevant factors associated with cognitive impairment in diabetes patients. Results:Compared to the control group, the dapagliflozin group exhibited significant increases in MMSE and MoCA scores, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and plasma concentration Aβ40(all P<0.05); And the incidence of MCI, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR), total cholesterol, triglycerides, urine albumin creatine ratio, plasma Aβ42, and Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio were significantly decreased(all P<0.05). Compared with the MCI subgroup, duration of dapagliflozin treatment in the non-MCI subgroup were significantly increased( P<0.05); There were statistically significant decreased in the non-MCI subgroup in age, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma C-peptide, and HOMA-IR(all P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that duration of dapagliflozin treatment was a protective factor for cognitive dysfunction( OR=0.322, 95% CI 0.150-0.692, P=0.004) and the age and HOMA-IR were risk factors( OR=1.109, 95% CI 1.014-1.212, P=0.023; OR=3.376, 95% CI 1.276-8.931, P=0.014). Conclusion:Dapagliflozin may improve cognitive function and significantly reduce the incidence of MCI in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, possibly associated with the improvement of insulin resistance.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe any differential clinical effect of supplementing ultrasound-guided injection of the subacromial bursa with extracorporeal shock wave stimulation in the treatment of non-calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus tendon.Methods:Sixty individuals with non-calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus tendon were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 30. Both groups received routine medication, health education and extracorporeal shock wave treatment, but the observation group additionally received ultrasound-guided injection of compound betamethasone injection plus 2% lidocaine intothe subacromial bursa. The treatment′s effect was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the UCLA shoulder rating scale (UCLA). Absorption of hydrops in the subacromial bursa was assessed using ultrasound imaging after 7 and 14 days of the treatment.Results:After 7 and after 14 days the average VAS scores had decreased significantly, while the average UCLA score had increased significantly. At both time points the observation group′s average results were significantly better than those of the control group. The total effective absorption rate of hydrops in the subacromial bursa in the observation group (80.0%) was significantly higher than in the control group after 14 days of treatment.Conclusion:Extracorporeal shock wave stimulation combined with injection of the subacromial bursa can effectively alleviate the pain of non-calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus tendon, improve joint function, and promote the absorption of hydrops.

ABSTRACT

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is significantly associated with abnormal glucose metabolism. Low SHBG level is a risk factor for insulin resistance and the occurence of diabetes mellitus. SHBG is negatively correlated with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and plays an important role in regulating insulin resistance while predicting its development. The genotype of SHBG has been found to be closely related to the occurrence of diabetes mellitus. Fatty liver and DNA methylation are also important factors mediating the relationship between SHBG and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The change in SHBG level may be related to insulin resistance by influencing hepatocyte nuclear factor 4a and regulating glucose transporter.

ABSTRACT

Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death, which is different from apoptosis, pyrodeath, necrosis and autophagy. It is characterized by the imbalance of cell iron homeostasis, which leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxides, which exceeds the antioxidant capacity of cells and eventually leads to oxidative death of cells. Studies have shown that ferroptosis plays an important role in acute renal injury induced by renal ischemia-reperfusion and inhibition of ferroptosis can effectively alleviate renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. It is of great significance to study the relationship and mechanism of ferroptosis and renal ischemia-reperfusion injury to prevent acute renal function injury caused by renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in clinical work .

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#This study aimed to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model combined with dietary retinol intake from different sources to predict the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in American adults.@*METHODS@#Data from the 2007 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2014 were analyzed. Eligible subjects ( n = 6,613) were randomly divided into a training set ( n 1 = 4,609) and a validation set ( n 2 = 2,004) at a ratio of 7:3. The training set was used to identify predictors of NAFLD risk using logistic regression analysis. An ANN was established to predict the NAFLD risk using a training set. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the accuracy of the model using the training and validation sets.@*RESULTS@#Our study found that the odds ratios ( ORs) and 95% confidence intervals ( CIs) of NAFLD for the highest quartile of plant-derived dietary retinol intake (i.e., provitamin A carotenoids, such as β-carotene) ( OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.57 to 0.99) were inversely associated with NAFLD risk, compared to the lowest quartile of intake, after adjusting for potential confounders. The areas under the ROC curves were 0.874 and 0.883 for the training and validation sets, respectively. NAFLD occurs when its incidence probability is greater than 0.388.@*CONCLUSION@#The ANN model combined with plant-derived dietary retinol intake showed a significant effect on NAFLD. This could be applied to predict NAFLD risk in the American adult population when government departments formulate future health plans.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of plantar injection of complete Freund's adjuvant(CFA)on pain-depressive behavior and changes in hippocampal monoamine neurotransmitters in rats to establish an animal model of related comorbidity.Methods Sixteen male,8-week-old,SPF-grade healthy SD rats were randomly divided into model and control groups with eight rats in each group.In the model group,rats were anesthetized and injected with 100 μL CFA in the left hind paw to induce the comorbid chronic inflammatory pain and depression model.In the control group,rats were injected with the same volume of saline.Pain thresholds were measured using the Von Frey hair and thermal radiation instrument,and depression-like behaviors were assessed using the open field test(OFT),tail suspension test(TST),and forced swim test(FST).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to measure 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),dopamine(DA),and norepinephrine(NE)in rat hippocampal tissue.Histological changes in the hippocampal area were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Results Compared with the control group,the mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency in the model group were significantly decreased at 3,7,and 14 days(P<0.01).The total distance in the OFT was significantly reduced at 7 and 14 days(P<0.01),and the time spent in the center zone was significantly decreased at 14 days(P<0.01).Immobility time in the TST was significantly increased at 14 days(P<0.01),and the immobility time in the FST was significantly increased at 7 and 14 days(P<0.05,P<0.01).5-HT,DA,and NE contents in hippocampal tissue of the model group rats were significantly reduced compared with those in the control group(P<0.01),and hippocampal tissue in the model group showed pathological changes,including irregular neuronal shapes,loose and disordered arrangement,increased intercellular space,some unclear cell nuclei,and some neuronal contraction and apoptosis.Conclusions Injection of 100 μL CFA into the footpad causes pain hypersensitivity,depression-like behavior,significant reductions in monoaminergic neurotransmitters in the hippocampus,and histological changes in the hippocampus,effectively simulating the manifestations of comorbid pain and depression,and is an experimental model to study the pathological mechanisms of comorbid chronic inflammatory pain and depression.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of Chinese-thyroid imaging reporting and data system (C-TIRADS) combined with shear wave elastography (SWE) in thyroid microcarcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 270 patients (367 nodules) who underwent thyroid ultrasound examination and confirmed by pathology from January 2019 to June 2021 in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were assisted by SWE in preoperative ultrasound examination to measure the maximum elastic modulus (E max), the average elastic modulus (E mean) and the minimum elastic modulus (E min). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to get the optimal threshold of SWE according to the pathological results. The diagnostic value of C-TIRADS, SWE and their combined in different diameters thyroid micronodules was analyzed. Results:Among 367 thyroid nodules, 119 nodules were benign and 248 nodules were malignant. The area under the curve (AUC) of E max in diagnosing TMC was significantly larger than that of E mean and E min (0.883 vs. 0.822 and 0.706), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05); the best cut-off value of E max was 29.5 kPa. The ROC curve analysis results showed that the AUC of C-TIRADS combined with SWE in diagnosis of TMC was significantly larger than that of C-TIRADS and SWE alone (0.884 vs. 0.800 and 0.853), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05); the sensitivity, accuracy and negative predictive value of C-TIRADS combined with SWE in diagnosis of TMC were significantly higher than those of C-TIRADS alone (90.32% vs. 80.24%, 89.10% vs. 80.11% and 81.10% vs. 65.97%), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Thyroid nodules were divided into ≤0.5 cm nodules (56 nodules) and 0.5 to 1.0 cm nodules (311 nodules) according to the maximum diameter, the sensitivity and accuracy of C-TIRADS combined with SWE in diagnosing TMC in 0.5 to 1.0 cm nodules were significantly higher than those in ≤0.5 cm nodules: 91.82% (202/220) vs. 78.57% (22/28) and 90.68% (282/311) vs. 80.36% (45/56), and there were statistical differences ( χ2 = 4.99 and 5.20, P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference in specificity between 2 groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:C-TIRADS combined with SWE can further improve the diagnostic value of TMC, which is worth popularizing and applying in clinic.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To identify new biomarkers and molecular pathogenesis of Down syndrome (DS) by analyzing differentially expressed miRNAs in the placentas and their biological pathways.@*METHODS@#Whole transcriptome sequencing was used to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs in DS (n=3) and normal placental samples (n=3) diagnosed by prenatal diagnosis. The target genes were predicted using miRWalk, Targetscan and miRDB, and GO and KEGG pathway analyses were performed for gene enrichment studies.@*RESULTS@#We identified a total of 82 differentially expressed miRNAs in the placental tissues of DS, including 29 up-regulated miRNAs (fold change ≥2, P < 0.05) and 15 down-regulated miRNAs (fold change ≥2, P < 0.05), among which 10 miRNAs with relatively high expression abundance were selected for further analysis, including 4 up-regulated and 6 down-regulated miRNAs. These selected miRNAs shared the common target genes BTBD3 and AUTS2, both of which were associated with neurodevelopment. GO analysis showed that the target genes of the selected miRNAs were mainly enriched in protein binding, hydrolytic enzymes, metal ion binding protein combining, transferase activity, nucleotide, cytoplasmic constituents, nucleus composition, transcriptional regulation, RNA metabolism regulation, DNA-dependent RNA polymerase Ⅱ promoter transcriptional regulation, eye development, and sensory organ development. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the target genes of these differentially expressed miRNAs were involved in the signaling pathways including tumor-related signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, Rap1 signaling pathway, cytoskeletal regulatory signaling pathway, purine metabolization-related signaling pathway and P53 signaling pathway.@*CONCLUSION@#The differentially expressed miRNAs may play important roles in placental damage and pregnancy pathology in DS and provide clues for the prevention and treatment of mental retardation-related diseases.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the expression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The clinicopathological data of 106 DLBCL patients with detailed follow-up data in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January 2009 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 30 cases (28%) of germinal center B cell-1ike (GCB) and 76 cases (72%) of non-GCB; and 11 cases of reactive lymph nodes were selected as the control group. EnVision method was used to detect the expressions of EZH2 and c-myc. The correlation of the expressions of EZH2 and c-myc proteins was analyzed, and the association of EZH2 protein with clinicopathological characteristics, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients was also analyzed.Results:The positive expression rates of EZH2 and c-myc proteins were 78.3% (83/106) and 48.1% (51/106), respectively, and neither was expressed in the control group. The positive expression rate of EZH2 protein in non-GCB was higher than that in GCB ( P < 0.01). The expression of EZH2 was correlated with clinical staging, serum lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level and international prognostic index (IPI) score (all P < 0.01). EZH2 expression was positively correlated with the c-myc protein expression in GCB ( r = 0.74, P < 0.001). Moreover, OS and PFS of EZH2 negative in DLBCL were better than those of EZH2 positive (all P < 0.001). Conclusions:EZH2 overexpression is correlated with advanced clinical staging, increased serum LDH level, high IPI score and non-GCB phenotype. The high expression of EZH2 may be related to the high expression of c-myc, suggesting the poor prognosis of patients with DLBCL.

ABSTRACT

Aiming at the problems of individual differences in the asynchrony process of human lower limbs and random changes in stride during walking, this paper proposes a method for gait recognition and prediction using motion posture signals. The research adopts an optimized gated recurrent unit (GRU) network algorithm based on immune particle swarm optimization (IPSO) to establish a network model that takes human body posture change data as the input, and the posture change data and accuracy of the next stage as the output, to realize the prediction of human body posture changes. This paper first clearly outlines the process of IPSO's optimization of the GRU algorithm. It collects human body posture change data of multiple subjects performing flat-land walking, squatting, and sitting leg flexion and extension movements. Then, through comparative analysis of IPSO optimized recurrent neural network (RNN), long short-term memory (LSTM) network, GRU network classification and prediction, the effectiveness of the built model is verified. The test results show that the optimized algorithm can better predict the changes in human posture. Among them, the root mean square error (RMSE) of flat-land walking and squatting can reach the accuracy of 10 -3, and the RMSE of sitting leg flexion and extension can reach the accuracy of 10 -2. The R 2 value of various actions can reach above 0.966. The above research results show that the optimized algorithm can be applied to realize human gait movement evaluation and gait trend prediction in rehabilitation treatment, as well as in the design of artificial limbs and lower limb rehabilitation equipment, which provide a reference for future research to improve patients' limb function, activity level, and life independence ability.

ABSTRACT

[Abstract] Objective To investigate the effects of the downregulation of draxin expression on the projection characteristics of 23C10-positive neural fibers in the chick embryonic hindbrain. Methods The vitro incubation of HH stages 21-22 chick embryonic hindbrain biopsy with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) protein was used as control group. The incubation of HH stages 21-22 chick embryonic hindbrain biopsy with draxin-ALP fusion protein was used as experimental group. The number of embryonic hindbrain for each group was 10. To detect whether 23C10-positive neural fibers could directly bind to draxin protein or not;In ovo electroporation using empty vector in the chick embryonic hindbrain was used as control group. In ovo electroporation with small interfering RNA(siRNA) expressing vector for reducing draxin expression in the chick embryonic hindbrain was used as experimental group. The number of embryonic hindbrain for each group was 18. The effect of the down-regulation of draxin expression and the change of projection characteristics of 23C10-positive neural fibers were observed to check whether the down-regulation of draxin expression would affect the distribution of 23C10-positive fibers. Results Most portion of draxin protein could overlap with 23C10-positive neural fibers in HH stages 21-22 chick embryonic hindbrain biopsies; After expression of the siRNA plasmid against draxin by electroporation, the expression level of draxin protein was significantly reduced, and the distribution of 23C10-positive fibers was scattered in the dorsal hindbrain on the electroporated side at HH stages 25-26 of chick embryos (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion Draxin protein may directly bind to 23C10-positive fibers in hindbrain, and it plays an important regulatory role in the fasciculation of 23C10-positive fibers during chick embryonic development.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of early gastroscopy for patients with hypopharyngeal cancer.Methods:A total of 231 cases of hypopharyngeal cancer diagnosed and treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2010 to December 2014 were included in the retrospective analysis. The 5-year survival rate of hypopharyngeal cancer and patients accompanied with synchronous esophageal cancer (including early and advanced esophageal cancer), as well as the detection rate of synchronous esophageal cancer by gastroscopy and systemic PET-CT examination were statistically analyzed.Results:The 5-year survival rate of hypopharyngeal cancer was 38.96% (90/231). The 5-year survival rates of 62 patients accompanied with synchronous esophageal cancer and 169 patients without were 27.42% (17/62) and 43.20% (73/169), respectively, with statistic difference ( χ2=4.747, P=0.029). The 5-year survival rate of 49 patients accompanied with synchronous early esophageal cancer was 30.69% (17/49). Among the 13 patients with synchronous progressive esophageal cancer, none had a survival period of 5 years, which was significantly different compared with the patients with synchronous early esophageal cancer ( P=0.013). The detection rates of synchronous esophageal carcinoma by gastroscopy and by systemic PET-CT were 26.84% (62/231) and 14.29% (33/231), respectively, with statistic difference ( χ2=11.14, P<0.01). The detection rates of synchronous early esophageal carcinoma by gastroscopy and by systemic PET-CT were 21.21% (49/231) and 8.66% (20/231), respectively, and the difference was also statistically significant ( χ2=14.328, P<0.01). Conclusion:Hypopharyngeal cancer accompanied with synchronous esophageal cancer is of high risk, which affects the survival rate of patients. Early gastroscopy in hypopharyngeal cancer patients can significantly improve the detection rate of synchronous esophageal cancer, which helps to design individualized regimen to improve the survival rate of patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effect of platelet reactivity and other clinical factors on the postoperative 1-year adverse clinical events in patients who underwent selective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) anticoagulated with bivalirudin. Methods: This is a multicenter, retrospective and observational study, enrolling 632 patients at high risk of bleeding adjudicated by operators who underwent selective PCI anticoagulated with bivalirudin and had preoperative thrombelastography (TEG) test results in Fuwai Hospital, Northern Theater General Hospital and Xinxiang Central Hospital between January 2017 and August 2018. Platelet reactivity was tested by TEG and adenosine-induced maximal amplitude (MAADP) was recorded. According to MAADP patients were divided into three groups: low on-treatment platelet reactivity (LTPR) group (MAADP<31 mm, n=229), normal on-treatment platelet reactivity (NTPR) group (31 mm≤MAADP≤47 mm, n=207) and high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) group (MAADP>47 mm, n=196). The endpoints consisted of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and bleeding events. The definition of MACCE was the composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, intrastent thrombosis, stroke and revascularization. Bleeding events were defined by bleeding academic research consortium (BARC) type 2, 3 and 5 bleeding. Using multivariate Cox regression to analyze the factors of MACCE and bleeding events in patients underwent selective PCI anticoagulated with bivalirudin. Results: A total of 632 patients were finally enrolled in the study with age of (68.3±10.0) years and there were 423 (66.9%) males. All of 632 patients finished one-year follow-up, and 48 (7.6%) patients occurred MACCE and 11 (1.7%) patients occurred bleeding events. There was not statistically significant difference in the incidence of MACCE (8.3% (19/229) vs. 6.3% (13/207) vs.8.2% (16/196), P=0.68) and bleeding events (1.8% (4/229) vs. 2.9% (6/207) vs. 0.5% (1/196), P=0.17) in LTPR, NTPR and HTPR group. Multivariate Cox regression showed that HTPR was not the independent factor of MACCE (HR=1.25, 95%CI 0.67-2.30, P=0.49), and the history of peripheral vessel disease was the independent risk factor of MACCE (HR=2.47, 95%CI 1.19-5.11, P=0.02). LTPR was not the independent factor of bleeding events (HR=1.35, 95%CI 0.39-4.66, P=0.64), and the independent factors of bleeding events were history of peripheral vessel disease (HR=3.95, 95%CI 1.03-15.22, P=0.05) and hemoglobin (HR=0.96, 95%CI 0.93-0.99, P=0.01). Conclusions: In patients undergoing selective PCI anticoagulated with bivalirudin, there is no significant association between platelet reactivity and postoperative 1-year MACCE or bleeding events. History of peripheral vessel disease is an independent risk factor of MACCE, and history of peripheral vessel disease and decreased hemoglobin are independent risk factors of bleeding events.
