ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the value of the ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP) in evaluating right ventricular function of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).Methods:A total of 74 patients with HCM and HFpEF and 22 healthy individuals who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to January 2023 were included in this study. The HCM patients with HFpEF were divided into three groups based on the tertiles of the TAPSE/PASP (low group: <0.280 0 mm/mmHg; middle group: 0.280 0-0.476 2 mm/mmHg; high group: >0.476 2 mm/mmHg). Conventional echocardiographic parameters were collected, and two-dimensional speckle tracking technology was used to obtain right ventricular strain parameters. The differences in parameters among the groups were compared, and the correlations between TAPSE/PASP and clinical parameters and right ventricular function parameters were analyzed.Results:The results of difference analysis showed that there were significant differences in 6-minute walking test, New York Heart Association grade (NYHA grade), incidence of atrial fibrillation, left atrial area (LAA), left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), TAPSE, PASP, right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC), right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS), right ventricular free wall strain (RVFWST) and cardiac magnetic resonance right ventricular ejection fraction (CMR-RVEF) among the three groups. The results of correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis showed that the TAPSE/PASP was positively correlated with 6-minute walking distance, RVFAC, tricuspid annulus peak systolic velocity (RV s′), and CMR-RVEF ( r=0.449, 0.284, 0.358, 0.577; all P<0.05). It was negatively correlated with N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), NYHA grade, LAA, mitral early diastolic peak velocity / mitral annulus early diastolic peak velocity (LV E/e′), LVGLS, RVGLS, RVFWST and tricuspid early diastolic peak velocity / tricuspid annulus early diastolic peak velocity (RV E/e′) (r/ rs=-0.336, -0.349, -0.468, -0.452, -0.444, -0.339, -0.405, -0.320; all P<0.05). The LAA and CMR-RVEF correlated independently with TAPSE/PASP(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The TAPSE/PASP can provide an early, simple, rapid, and convenient evaluation of right ventricular function in patients with HCM and HFpEF, so as to guide clinical treatment and monitoring disease progression.

ABSTRACT

The intervention and prevention of perioperative hypothermia is not only reflected in the technical level, but also reveals the important role of humanistic care in the whole intervention work. If perioperative patients have hypothermia, it is likely to cause a series of complications such as postoperative shivering, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Prevention and intervention was based on a comprehensive understanding of the causes and hazards of hypothermia, especially the impact on the lives of the elderly. Effective supervision was implemented in the whole process of operation, such as dynamic monitoring of vital signs including body temperature, followed by room temperature regulation, body temperature protection and preoperative and postoperative psychological nursing. At this time, the sense of responsibility, good humanistic care of medical staff are of positive significance to effectively prevent and reduce the probability of perioperative hypothermia and accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the application value of four-dimensional automatic left ventricular quantitation(4D Auto LVQ) technology, in evaluating the myocardial mechanics in patients with different risk stratifications of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM).Methods:A total of 88 HCM patients and 20 healthy volunteers were selected from February 2020 to February 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. According to the HCM Risk-SCD score, HCM patients were divided into 3 groups: low-risk group( n=49), intermediate-risk group( n=21), and high-risk group( n=18). Conventional ultrasound parameters were collected, and 4D Auto LVQ technology was used to obtain the mechanical parameters of left ventricular myocardium, including global longitudinal strain(GLS) , global circumferential strain(GCS), global area strain(GAS), global radial strain(GRS), twist and torsion. The differences in these parameters among the four groups were compared. The predictive values of conventional ultrasound parameters and myocardial mechanical parameters in patients with intermediate- and high-risk HCM patients were analyzed by ROC curve. Results:①Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume, and peak systolic velocity of mitral annulus in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups were lower than those in the control group while left ventricular maximal wall thickness(LVMWT) and early diastolic peak velocity of mitral value orifice/early diastolic peak velocity of mitral annulus(E/e′) were higher, left atrial diameter(LAD) and left ventricular outflow tract gradients(LVOTG) in the intermediate- and high-risk groups were higher than the low-risk group(all P<0.05). ②Compared with the control group, the GLS of HCM patients was lower, and the GLS of the intermediate- and high-risk groups was lower than the low-risk group. GCS and GRS in the intermediate- and high-risk groups were lower than those in the low-risk group. GAS in the high-risk group was lower than the low-risk and the control group, but higher than the intermediate-risk group(all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the twist and torsion in the intermediate- and high-risk groups were higher, but lower than the low-risk group, and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). ③The ROC results showed that the area under the curve(AUC) of the model containing conventional ultrasound parameters(LVWMT, LAD, and LVOTG) for predicting intermediate- and high-risk HCM patients was 0.811, with a sensitivity of 0.769 and a specificity of 0.755. The AUC of the conventional ultrasound parameters combined with myocardial mechanical parameters was 0.904, as the sensitivity was 0.667 and the specificity was 0.980. Conclusions:4D Auto LVQ can evaluate the mechanical characteristics of LV myocardium in HCM patients with different risk stratifications. Myocardial mechanical parameters combined with conventional ultrasound parameters can improve the diagnostic performance of patients with intermediate- and high-risk HCM.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the clinical and imaging features of air-borne and blood-borne Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia(SAP) in children.Methods:The clinical data of 54 children with SAP from 2015 to 2020 at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, including 28 cases in air-borne group and 26 cases in blood-borne group.The general data, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and imaging data of the patients in two groups were compared.Results:There were no significant differences in age, sex and onset season between air-borne group and blood-borne group( P>0.05). The incidences of cough, dyspnea and lung rale in air-borne group were significantly higher than those in blood-borne group( P<0.05). Air-borne group was often complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory failure, but extrapulmonary infection was rare.The symptoms and signs of respiratory tract in patients from the blood-borne group were not obvious, and more complicated with other parts or systemic infection and poisoning symptoms, such as septic shock, skin and soft tissue infection, osteomyelitis, etc.The patients with leukocyte decrease(<4.0×10 9/L) in blood-borne group were more than those patients from air-borne group.The median values of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and interleukin -6 in blood-borne group were higher than those in air-borne group, but there were no statistical differences( P>0.05). On imaging, the incidences of massive pulmonary exudation and consolidation in air-borne SAP were higher, while the incidences of pulmonary nodules and air sacs in blood-borne SAP were higher( P<0.05). Conclusion:The clinical and imaging manifestations of air-borne SAP and blood-borne SAP are different.Respiratory symptoms of air-borne SAP are prominent, however, systemic poisoning symptoms of blood-borne SAP are severe.As for imaging, air-borne SAP is more prone to large lung consolidation, while blood-borne SAP is more prone to lung nodules and air bags.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the expression of miR-6883-5p in the serum of bladder cancer patients and its effect on the migration and proliferation ability of bladder cancer cells.Methods:The real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method was used to detect the expression level of miR-6883-5p in the serum of 39 patients with bladder cancer and 39 healthy subjects, as well as the expression level of miR-6883-5p in normal bladder mucosal epithelial cells and bladder cancer cells. The bladder cancer cells with the lowest expression of miR-6883-5p were transfected with miR-6883-5p mimics or negative control (NC), namely miR-6883-5p group and NC group. Transwell migration experiment and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) colorimetric method were used to detect the migration and proliferation ability of cells transfected with miR-6883-5p. Bioinformatics software and dual luciferase reporter gene were used to predict and test the target genes of miR-6883-5p. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of target genes in cells transfected with miR-6883-5p.Results:The expression level of miR-6883-5p in the serum of bladder cancer patients was significantly lower than that of healthy persons ( P<0.01). The expression level of miR-6883-5p in bladder cancer cells was significantly lower than that in normal bladder mucosal epithelial cells (all P<0.05), and the lowest expression of miR-6883-5p was in 5637 cells ( P<0.01). After transfection with miR-6883-5p, the migration and proliferation of cells in miR-6883-5p group were significantly lower than those in NC group (all P<0.05). Phosphatidyl alcohol proteoglycan-6 (GPC6) was the target gene of miR-6883-5p. After transfection with miR-6883-5p, the expression levels of GPC6 mRNA and protein in miR-6883-5p group significantly decreased ( P<0.01). Conclusions:miR-6883-5p is significantly low expressed in the serum of bladder cancer patients, and miR-6883-5p is related to the occurrence and development of bladder cancer; overexpression of miR-6883-5p can inhibit the migration and proliferation of bladder cancer cells; miR-6883-5p can inhibit the occurrence and development of bladder cancer by down-regulating the expression of GPC6.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To provide reliable prediction models based on dentoskeletal and soft tissue variables for customizing maxillary incisor positions and to optimize digitalized orthodontic treatment planning. @*Methods@#This study included 244 Chinese women (age, 18–40 years old) with esthetic profiles after orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances (133 in group I: 1° ≤ The angle between the nasion [N]-A point [A] plane and the N-B point [B] plane [ANB] ≤ 4°; 111 in group II: 4° < ANB ≤ 7°). Dental, skeletal, and soft tissue measurements were performed on lateral cephalograms of the participants. Correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine the influence of dentoskeletal and soft tissue variables on maxillary incisor position. @*Results@#The ideal anteroposterior position of the maxillary incisor varied between sagittal skeletal patterns. The position of the maxillary incisor correlated with the sagittal discrepancy between the maxilla and the mandible (ANB), protrusion of the midface, nasal tip projection, development of the chin, and inclination of both the maxillary and mandibular incisors. Distance from the maxillary central incisor to nasion-pogonion plane predicted using multiple linear regression analysis was accurate and could be a practical measurement in orthodontic treatment planning. @*Conclusions@#Instead of using an average value or norm, orthodontists should customize a patient’s ideal maxillary incisor position using dentoskeletal and soft tissue evaluations.

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To investigate the HBV infection of TMA initially reactive but discriminatory test non-reactive samples(NDR) after the individual donation nucleic acid detection(ID-NAT)of TMA, and analyze its serological and molecular biological characteristics, so as to improve the safety of blood transfusion. 【Methods】 121 970 samples of blood donors in the center from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 were routinely tested by serology and nucleic acid of ID NAT, and 21 HBsAg(-)/ NDR samples were random collected. After the plasma samples were concentrated by ultra-high speed centrifugation, the gene sequences of BCP/PC, pre-S/S and S region were amplified by Nested PCR. The S region sequence was also sequenced to analyze the viral genotype and amino acid variation. At the same time, the original TMA retest discriminatory test was adopted, and Roche MPX 2.0 was used for ID-NAT, and the samples was not virus-concentrated.NDR samples were supplemented with electrochemiluminescence for anti-HBc and anti-HBs quantitative detection. 【Results】 Of the 121 970 samples screened, 117(0.096%) were found to be HBsAg(-)/NDR samples, of which 21 samples underwent a confirmation test. Sixteen(76.2%) cases were positive for HBV DNA by TMA retest, 7(33.3%) positive for HBV DNA by Roche MPX 2.0 ID-NAT, 9(42.9%) confirmed by Nested PCR, and 8(38.1%) positive by any two methods. Test results of serological markers were as follows: 17(80.9%) positive anti-HBc and 8(38.1%) positive anti-HBs. Eight infected cases were confirmed to have occult hepatitis B infection(OBI). The gene sequence of S region was successfully amplified and sequenced in 3 cases, all of which belonged to C type. Two mutations occurred in specimen S-2, all of which were outside MHR. There were 13 mutations in sample S-6, 6 mutations outside MHR and 7 mutations inside MHR. 【Conclusion】 Nearly 40% of NDR samples can still be detected as HBV DNA positive after virus concentration. Anti-HBc has a high detection rate, and there may be a potential risk of HBV transmission. The current NAT detection sensitivity should be improved. The amino acid mutation of S gene sequence may be related to OBI formation.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on oxidative stress response of hippocampus in rats with sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) and the relationship with nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (Nrf2/HO-1) signaling pathway.Methods:A total of 64 healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 250-300 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=16 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), SAE group, SAE+ EA group and SAE plus sham EA group (SAE+ SEA group). In SAE+ EA group, Baihui, Quchi and Zusanli acupoints were stimulated for 30 min once a day for 5 consecutive days.Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture immediately after the end of the last EA.At 1 and 7 days after establishment of the model, the hippocampal malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the expression of hippocampal Nrf2 mRNA was detected using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was determined by Western blot.At 3-7 days after establishment of the model, cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze test, and the escape latency and the target quadrant exploration time were recorded. Results:Compared with Sham group, the content of MDA was significantly increased and the activity of SOD was decreased at 1 and 7 days after establishment of the model, the expression of Nrf2 protein and mRNA and HO-1 was down-regulated at day 7 after establishment of the model, the escape latency was prolonged, and the target quadrant exploration time was shortened in SAE group ( P<0.05). Compared with SAE group, the content of MDA was significantly decreased and the activity of SOD was increased at 1 and 7 days after establishment of the model, the expression of Nrf2 protein and mRNA and HO-1 was up-regulated at day 7 after establishment of the model, the escape latency was shortened, and the target quadrant exploration time was prolonged in group SAE+ EA ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group SAE+ SEA ( P>0.05). Conclusion:EA pretreatment can reduce oxidative stress response of hippocampus in rats with SAE, and the mechanism may be related to activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of miR-425-5p on glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) secretion in intestinal L cells induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS), and to explore its mechanism.Methods:GLUTag cells of intestinal L cell line were incubated with LPS to determine the levels of miR-425-5p and GLP-1. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay, and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Quantitative real time-PCR and western blot were performed to determine the expressions of miR-425-5p, phosphatase and tensin homology(PTEN), proglucagon, and GLP-1. Activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was determined by detecting TOP/FOP ratio. Interaction among miR-425-5p, PTEN, and β-catenin was analyzed using luciferase activity assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP)assay.Results:In GLUTag cells, with the elevation of LPS concentration, the expression of miR-425-5p and the apoptosis rate were increased, while the level of active GLP-1 and the cell viability were decreased. MiR-425-5p was involved in the regulation of LPS on GLP-1 secretion and intestinal L cell viability. Inhibition of miR-425-5p reduced the mRNA expression of proglucagon and the TOP/FOP ratio, increased PTEN protein level, and inhibited cell viability. In LPS-treated GLUTag cells, miR-425-5p increased the level of β-catenin by targeting PTEN, and β-catenin acted as a cis-acting element to induce the transcription of proglucagon and promote the secretion of GLP-1.Conclusion:In LPS-induced intestinal L cells, miR-425-5p promotes the expression of GLP-1 by targeting PTEN to modulate β-catenin.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the etiology of biliary fungal infection and risk factors of case fatality.Methods:Clinical and laboratory data of 91 biliary fungal infection patients admitted in Li Huili Hospital of Ningbo Medical Center from January 2013 to June 2019 were retrospectively reviewed, including 14 patients (16.4%) with fungal infection and 77 patients (84.6%) with fungal and bacterial mixed infection. There were 79 survivors and 12 deaths, the risk factors of fatality were analyzed by binary Logistic regression analysis.Results:The fungal strain Candida albicans was detected in 61 cases, Candida glabrata in 19 cases and Candida tropicalis in 6 cases. Drug sensitivity test showed that the fungal strains were highly sensitivity to amphotericin B and 5-fluorouracil [100.0%(91/91),97.8%(89/91)]. In 77 mixed infection cases Gram-negative bacteria was the more common (34 cases,44.2%). The average age of patients was 70.7 years old. Benign diseases were found in 66 cases (72.5%) and 61(67.0%)of them were cholelithiasis. Patients with a history of repeated biliary operation were more likely to have mixed infection of biliary fungi and bacteria (χ 2= 4.56, P=0.03). The mean albumin level in the fatal group was significantly lower than that in the survival group [(28.1±5.2)g/L vs. (33.3±5.3)g/L; t=2.77, P=0.01]. The median length of hospital stay in the survival group was significantly shorter than that in the fatal group [12.0(9.0, 18.0)d vs. 29.5 (13.0, 42.7)d; Z=-2.37, P=0.02]. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the history of repeated biliary operation ( OR=4.46, 95% CI: 1.06—4.97) and mixed infection of fungi with bacteria ( OR=10.20, 95% CI: 1.48—70.27) were the risk factors of case fatality. Conclusion:Candida albicans is the main fungus in biliary fugal infection which is often complicated with bacterial infection. Repeated biliary operations and mixed infection of fungi with bacteria are the risk factors of death in patients with biliary infection.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA (Linc01278) on the proliferation, invasion and migration, and tumor phenotype of prostate cancer cells.Methods:Prostate cancer tissues and corresponding normal tissues adjacent to the cancer were obtained in 46 patients with prostate cancer confirmed by the hospital from Dec. 2018 to Dec. 2019. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of Linc01278 and miR-145 in prostate cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues. The prostate cancer PC-3 cells were transfected with plasmids and cells were divided into four groups: blank group, control group, overexpression group and rescue group. The blank group was not given any treatment; the control group was transfected with blank control vector and miRNA Control; the overexpression group was transfected with Linc01278 overexpression vector and miRNA Control; the rescue group was transfected with Linc01278 overexpression vector and miR-145 mimics. Bioinformatics analysis was used to predict the binding site of Linc01278 to miR-145. Dual Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay was used to analyze the adsorption of Linc01278 on miR-145; Transwell experiment was used to detect the invasion and migration ability of the four groups of cells; CCK-8 method was used to detect the cell proliferation ability of the four groups of cells. Western blot was used to detect the expression of OCT4 and SOX2 in the four groups of cells; qPCR was used to detect the expression of OCT4, SOX2 and miR-145 in the four groups of cells.Results:Compared with adjacent normal tissues, Linc01278 was significantly higher in prostate cancer tissues (adjacent normal tissues: 0.012±0.002 vs prostate cancer tissues: 0.022±0.002, P=0.0072) , while miR-145 was significantly lower (adjacent normal tissues: 0.117±0.011 vs prostate cancer tissues: 0.081±0.007, P=0.0005) . Correlation of both was negative significantly ( P=0.0012) . Targetscan analysis revealed that the 804-825 position of the Linc01278 transcript had a complementary base pairing with miR-145. The results of the double luciferase reporter gene showed that miR-145 mimics could significantly reduce the luciferase activity of Linc01278 ( P<0.01) . Compared with the blank group and the control group, the invasion and migration cells, the relative proliferation ability, the expression of Oct4 and Sox2 mRNA and protein were significantly increased, and the expression of miR-145 was significantly decreased in the overexpression group ( P<0.05) . While compared with the overexpression group, the invasion and migration cells, the relative proliferation ability, Oct4 and Sox2 were significantly decreased in the rescue group, and the expression of miR-145 was significantly increased ( P<0.01) . Conclusion:Linc01278 may promote the proliferation, invasion and migration of prostate cancer cells by specifically adsorbing miR-145.

ABSTRACT

At present, the experimental examination of medical morphology courses in most medical colleges and universities still adopt traditional specimen examination or PPT examination, and there are many disadvantages. This paper introduces how to build a system with B/S architecture based on the local area network, and how to set up an examination system to realize the functions of user management, online examination database updating, free examination paper formation, examination running and automatic marking. Through its application in our school in recent years, the medical morphology online picture exam system has effectively promoted the reform of the examination methods, the style of study and the effect of experimental teaching. However, there are still some problems, such as high investment cost and limited examination room.
