ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the predictive value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR),and the simplified pulmonary embolism index(sPESI)score for 30-day death in patients with acute pulmonary embolism(APE).Methods The clinical data of 291 APE patients admitted to Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.White blood cell count(WBC),NLR,PLR,sPESI score,and other indicators were calculated at admission.The patients were followed up within 30 days and were divided into the death group and the survival group accord-ing to the prognosis.The differences in the above indexes between the two groups were compared.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in APE patients.The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of NLR,PLR,and combined sPESI scores in predicting mortality was compared.Results Among the APE patients,11 cases(3.78%)died and 280 cases(96.22%)survived within 30 days.The WBC,NLR,PLR,and sPESI score in the death group were sig-nificantly higher than those in the survival group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that PLR,NLR,and sPESI score were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in APE patients(P<0.05).The area under ROC curve(AUC)of PLR in pre-dicting the 30-day death of APE patients was 0.799(P=0.001).The AUC of NLR was 0.827(P=0.001).The AUC of sPESI score was 0.874(P=0.001).There was no significant difference in the AUC of PLR,NLR,and sPESI score in predicting death(P=0.181,0.340);the AUC of NLR combined with sPESI score was 0.925(P=0.001),which was greater than that of NLR(P=0.004).The AUC of PLR combined with sPESI score was 0.901(P=0.001),which was greater than that of PLR(P=0.002).Conclusion NLR,PLR,and sPESI score are independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in APE patients,and all of them have certain prognostic values.The prognostic value of PLR and NLR combined with sPESI score was higher than that of PLR and NLR alone.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the role of activated CD4 + T cells in cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). Methods:① Experiment in vitro: naive CD4 + T cells were isolated in mouse spleen, and then stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 for 48 hours. Exosomes isolated from the supernatant of activated CD4 + T cells were incubated with cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) for 48 hours, and then the ability of CFs proliferation, migration and differentiation were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, Transwell assay, and immunofluorescence assay. ② Experiment in vivo: 40 male C57 mice were divided into 4 groups according to random number table method, including control group (Ctrl group), sham operation group (Sham group), MI group, and exosome treatment group (MI+Exo group), with 10 in each group. The mice model of MI was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. In MI+Exo group, 40 μg/d exosomes were injected intravenously into the tail after modeling. Cardiac function and cardiac fibrosis post-MI were assessed by echocardiography and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) at 4th week. Results:① In vitro: exosomes derived from activated CD4 + T cells significantly promote CFs proliferation, migration and differentiation [proliferation ability ( A value): 0.31±0.01 vs. 0.21±0.01, migration capability (cells/MP): 79.20±3.34 vs. 48.80±2.13, differentiation ability (α-smooth muscle actin, α-SMA; fluorescence intensity): 1.56±0.03 vs. 1.00±0.02, all P < 0.05]. ② In vivo: echocardiographic analysis showed that exosomes derived from activated CD4 + T cells aggravated the deterioration of cardiac dysfunction post-MI than MI group, as indicated by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (FS) decreased significantly [LVEF: 0.185±0.008 vs. 0.257±0.022, FS: (9.72±1.72)% vs. (14.08±1.08)%, both P < 0.05], left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) increased significantly [LVEDD (mm): 5.43±0.29 vs. 4.62±0.35, LVESD (mm): 4.94±0.12 vs. 3.69±0.29, both P < 0.05]. Additionally, qPCR showed that exosomes derived from activated CD4 + T cells remarkably promoted myocardial fibrosis post-MI than MI group, as indicated by the mRNA expression of α-SMA, collagens (Col1a1, Col3a1) in MI+Exo group was significantly higher than that in MI group [α-SMA (2 -ΔΔCT): 4.72±0.89 vs. 3.58±0.78, Col1a1 (2 -ΔΔCT): 6.59±0.56 vs. 4.23±0.42, Col3a1 (2 -ΔΔCT): 13.40±1.03 vs.4.96±0.36, all P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Activated CD4 + T cells promote cardiac remodeling following MI through transferring exosomes to CFs.

ABSTRACT

AIM:To investigate the effects of leptin on the expression of bile salt export pump ( BSEP) and signaling pathway in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2.METHODS: HepG2 cells were cultured in vitro. Leptin at concentrations of 10 -8 , 10 -7 and 10 -6 mol/L was used as a stimulating factor.The protein levels of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase alpha subunit (AMPKa), phosphorylated AMPKa (p-AMPKa) and BSEP in the HepG2 cells at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h were detected by Western blotting.The optimal culture time and leptin concentration were selected, and compound C at concentration of 10 μmol/L was added to this group.The protein expression of BSEP was detected by Western blotting.RESULTS:Intervention of HepG2 cells with leptin for 72 h increased the protein ex-pression of AMPKa gradually in a concentration-dependent manner, and leptin at concentration of 10 -6 mol/L induced the strongest AMPKa expression ( P<0.01 ) .Intervention of HepG2 cells with leptin for 24 h increased the phosphorylation level of AMPKa gradually in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01).The effect of leptin on the increase in the protein ex-pression of p-AMPKa was also in a time-dependent manner ( P<0.01) .After intervention with different concentrations of leptin for 24 h, the protein expression of BSEP in the HepG2 cells was gradually increased by the stimulation of leptin in a concentration-and time-dependent manner (P<0.01).Compared with NC group, the protein expression of BSEP in 10 -6 mol/L leptin group and 10 -6 mol/L leptin+10μmol/L compound C group was increased at 72 h (P<0.01), and that in 10-6 mol/L leptin+10 μmol/L compound C group was lower than that in 10 -6 mol/L leptin group at 72 h ( P<0.01 ) . CONCLUSION:Leptin promotes the protein expression of BSEP in HepG2 cells by leptin-AMPK-BSEP signaling path-way.Leptin promotes the increases in AMPKa protein and the level of phosphorylation of AMPKa in HepG2 cells.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of intraventricular administration of insulin on pro-apoptotic expression of Caspase-3 mRNA and neuronal apoptosis in hippocampus CA1, and neurological function after rats’ CPR. Methods:Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham group;the resuscitation with saline-treated group and resuscitation with insulin-treated group. Six minute cardiac arrest was induced by ventricular fibrillation (VF) via pacing electrode placed in rats’ esophagus in saline and insulin group. Results:1. The NDS revealed a clear neurological deficit after reperfusion 24 h, 72 h in insulin and saline group as compare to the sham group, Comparing to the saline group, Insulin could improve the rats’ neurologic function after CPR 24 (insulin vs. saline group, 70(64~72)vs.56(50~58), P<0.001);2. Through TUNEL stain, insulin inhibited apoptosis in CA1 hippocampus as compare to the saline after CPR 7d. (F=5.853, P=0.02) 3.Caspase-3 expression in insulin-treated groups were significantly decreased compared to the saline-treated group after reperfusion 24h and 72h[(70(64~72), 56(50~58);P<0.001]. Conclusion:Intraventricular administration of insulin could inhibit the mRNA expression levels of the apoptotic activities of Caspase-3 after cardiac arrest, prevent neuronal apoptosis in the CA1 hippocampus and improve the rats’ neurological function (at least 24hours) after CPR.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the natural course and treatment of adult liver hemangioma (ALH).Methods The records of ultrasonography of 2422 patients with ALH were retrospectively reviewed.Results The patients were between 16 and 69 years of age (mean age 42,9± 11.4) with a male to female ratio of 1 ∶ 1.02 (1197/1225).The prevalence rate gradually increased with age after 30 years old.The highest prevalence rate occurred between 40-69 years.ALH was most commonly 1.1-3 cm in size,located in right liver with a solitary lesion.ALHs were bigger and were seen earlier in females than males.Concurrent illness was also more common in females than males.1427 patients had 3 to 8 repeat sonographies.At a follow-up of 42.7±9.5 months,1351 patients had no change in the ultrasonographic pattern or number of haemangiomas.Increasing in size of the lesions was demonstrated in 76 patients.154 patients received operation or interventional treatment.Conclusions The prevalence rate of ALH rose with age.Female sex hormones might accelerate ALH enlargement but they did not induce the formation of ALH.Most ALH remained stable in size and in patterns.Attention should be paid to rule out other illnesses in patients with ALH and with symptoms.
