ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of comprehensive intervention measures on Yunnan unexplained sudden death (YUSD) in Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and to provide scientific basis for improving the prevention and control measures.Methods:Since 2010, Yunnan Province had implemented comprehensive intervention measures in ward areas according to the etiological pattern of YUSD. In July 2019, 47 families with YUSD were selected as case families and 23 families without YUSD were selected as control families in 31 natural villages of Heqing, Xiangyun, Yunlong, Eryuan, Jianchuan, Binchuan and Nanjian counties of Dali Prefecture. A unified questionnaire was used to investigate the basic information, economic status, dietary structure, and health literacy of the families during the two periods of "the first sudden death case" and "the present".Results:The annual household income of the case families at present (median, 20 492.6 yuan) was significantly higher than that of the first sudden death case (3 883.4 yuan), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = - 5.27, P < 0.001). At present, rice (76.6%, 36/47) was the main diet of the case families; at the time of the first sudden death case, 23.4% (11/47) of the case families could not eat enough, and there was no such situation in the case families at present. Compared with the time of the first sudden death case, the dietary habits of the case families at present were as follows: the proportion of eating Trogia venenata decreased from 19.0% (39/205) to 0 (0/190), the proportion of eating wild fruit decreased from 17.1% (35/205) to 9.5% (18/190), and the proportion of drinking raw water decreased from 55.1% (113/205) to 42.1% (80/190), and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 = 22.37, 4.90, 6.86, P < 0.05). Lifestyle and health awareness: the proportion of those who washed their hands before meals and after using the toilet increased from 9.8% (20/205) to 41.6% (79/190), those who did not overwork increased from 16.6% (34/205) to 34.2% (65/190), and those who took good protection when spraying pesticides increased from 7.3% (15/205) to 21.6% (41/190), and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 = 53.17, 33.94, 16.48, P < 0.001). Toilet habits: the proportion of using outdoor toilet decreased from 75.6% (155/205) to 9.5% (18/190), the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 175.21, P < 0.001). When the first sudden death case occurred, the proportions of eating Trogia venenata and using outdoor toilet in the case families were higher than those in the control families (χ 2 = 22.37, 23.70, P < 0.001), the proportions of those who washed their hands before meals and after using the toilet and those who did not overwork in the case families were lower than those in the control families (χ 2 = 7.38, 4.93, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The economic conditions, production and living conditions of YUSD areas in Dali Prefecture have been significantly improved, and the health literacy and health prevention awareness of the population have been greatly improved. Economic conditions and living standard, dietary structure and health literacy may be related factors of YUSD.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the cause of death of 2 suspected Yunnan sudden unexplained death (YNSUD) cases in Dayao County, Yunnan Province.Methods:The field epidemiological investigation and autopsy of 2 cases of YNSUD in Dayao County from June 15 to 20, 2020 were conducted; and blood and tissue samples were collected for qualitative analysis of common poisons and drugs.Results:The areas where the two cases were located were all seriously ill villages with a history of YNSUD, and the time of death occurred in the onset season of YNSUD. There was no blood relationship between the 2 cases, no obvious abnormal symptoms before death, no special diet, no history of exposure to pesticides and other toxic chemicals, and the test results of common poisons were all negative. Autopsy pathological examination results showed that case 1 died of acute cardiac dysfunction caused by sudden acute myocardial infarction of coronary heart disease, and case 2 died of central respiratory and circulatory failure caused by spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage.Conclusions:The two cases are excluded from YNSUD through autopsy, and the cause of death is determined. It is suggested that emergency response should be taken as soon as possible for YNSUD cases, and autopsy should be actively carried out to clarify the cause of death from a pathological point of view.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze common pathogenic gene mutations of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in Yunnan unexplained sudden death (hereinafter referred to as Yunnan sudden death) cases, and explore the etiological relationship between Yunnan sudden death and ARVC.Methods:Four typical Yunnan sudden death affected counties (cities) were selected as investigation sites. Cryopreserved autopsy cardiac cavity blood samples were collected from Yunnan sudden death cases ( n = 3), and peripheral venous blood samples were harvested from their relatives (first, second, third and immediate degree of kinship, n = 67) and control population ( n = 49). The DNA of blood samples was extracted for amplification and sequencing of 97 exons of 5 common ARVC desmosomal protein [desmoplakin (DSP), desmocollin-2 (DSC2), desmoglein-2 (DSG2), plakophilin-2 (PKP2) and junction plakoglobin (JUP)] genes, and genetic lineage of Yunnan sudden death cases was investigated. Results:A total of 17 gene mutation sites were discovered in Yunnan sudden death cases and their relatives, with 6, 5, 4, 1 and 1 in the DSP, DSC2, DSG2, PKP2 and JUP genes, which were not found in the control population. Among them, 9 were newly discovered mutation sites and 8 were reported mutation sites. The DSP gene exon 24 c.8472 G>C, a pure contractual sense mutation, was common in the relatives of 4 cases in the same family surveyed; and one immediate relative carried a deletion mutation at c.2368 - 2370 of exon 15 of DSC2 gene.Conclusion:Yunnan sudden death cases and their relatives carry mutations in the ARVC desmosomal protein DSP, DSC2, DSG2, PKP2, and JUP genes, and the onset of some Yunnan sudden death may be associated with mutations in the ARVC desmosomal protein genes.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of jugular tubercle thickness on pathogenesis of hemifacial spasm (HFS) and its curative efficacy by microvascular decompression (MVD).Methods:One hundred and thirty-five HFS patients accepted MVD in our hospital from June 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled in this study. The thickness of the jugular tubercle was measured on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with steady state acquisition (FIESTA) sequence. The differences of jugular tubercle thickness and arterial flow rate from the jugular tubercle to the brainstem between the healthy side and symptomatic side in these patients were compared. These patients were divided into immediate symptom-relief group ( n=112) and symptom residual group ( n=23) according to the symptom relief one d after MVD; the difference of jugular tubercle thickness between the two groups were compared. Results:No significant difference in the jugular tubercle thickness was noted between the healthy side and the symptomatic side in all 135 patients ( t=0.787, P=0.432). The arterial flow rate from the jugular tubercle to the brainstem in the symptomatic side (95.6%) was significantly higher than that in the healthy side (57.0%, P<0.05). The jugular tubercle thickness in the symptomatic residual group ([5.13±2.19] mm) was significantly higher than that in the immediate symptom-relief group ([4.03±1.16] mm, t=2.114, P=0.0396). Conclusion:The thickness of jugular tubercle is not associated with HFS onset, but may affect the immediate outcome of MVD.

Blood DNA was extracted as a template for PCR amplification, and Sanger method was used to perform plakophilin 2 (PKP2), desmoglein 2 (DSG2), desmocollin 2 (DSC2), desmoplakin (DSP), and junction plakoglobin (JUP) five ARVC desmosomal protein genes sequencing of a total of 97 exons, and comprehensive analysis of gene mutations was carried out. Results:Five of YUSD case relatives carried genetic mutation sites, including DSP gene heterozygous synonymous mutations about exon 20 c.2862 C>T (p.Cys954Cys) and exon 24F c.7122 C>T (p.Thr2374Thr), DSC2 gene heterozygous missense mutation about exon 15 c.2326 A>G (p.Ile776Val), and all the five people were single heterozygous mutation carriers. Among them, two case relatives of the father-son carried the same site mutation of the DSC2 gene; the abnormal ECGs of three YUSD case relatives were ST-T change or clockwise rotation. However, the mutation sites of PKP2, DSG2, DSC2, DSP and JUP genes in control villagers were not detected.Conclusions:YUSD case relatives in Nanjian County carry ARVC desmosomal protein genes DSP and DSC2 mutations. Pathogenic mutation of DSC2 gene c.2326 A>G (p.Ile776Val) is may related to the incidence of some YUSD cases.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To expound the pathogenesis relationship between Yunnan unexplained sudden death (YUSD) and desmosomal protein gene mutations of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).Methods:Four YUSD cases families by ARVC pathological diagnosis were selected, to collect heart blood samples of YUSD cases by ARVC pathological diagnosis( n=3), venous blood samples of immediate relatives with genetic relationship (case relatives, n=4) and control population without genetic relationship ( n=7). DNA was extracted for PCR amplification and sequencing of a total of 97 exons of the ARVC desmosomal protein genes plakophilin 2 (PKP2), desmoplakin (DSP), desmoglein 2 (DSG2), desmocollin 2 (DSC2), and junction plakoglobin (JUP), and the mutations of the 5 genes were analyzed in combination with the genetic family. Results:DSP gene mutations were found in all YUSD cases by ARVC pathological diagnosis and case relatives, and PKP2, DSG2, DSC2 and JUP genes mutations were found in 1 person each. The same person carried 1-3 genes mutations. DSP gene existed 4 exon mutation sites, and 1 of which was a newly discovered heterozygous synonymous mutation c.4014 C>A (p.A1338A). PKP2 gene existed 2 exon missense mutation sites in 1 YUSD case by ARVC pathological diagnosis, and 1 of which was a newly discovered heterozygous mutation c.739 G>C (p.G247R). One heterozygous missense mutation site c.799 G>A (p.A267T) of JUP gene was newly discovered, and the predictive value of protein function was 0.963, the possibility of abnormal changes in protein function was high. DSG2 and DSC2 genes each had one mutation site. However, no mutation was found in control population.Conclusions:Both YUSD cases by ARVC pathological diagnosis and case relatives carry ARVC desmosomal protein genes DSP, PKP2, DSG2, DSC2 and JUP mutations. There may be a certain pathogenesis relationship between YUSD and ARVC desmosomal protein gene mutations.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the desmosomal protein plakophilin-2(PKP2)gene mutation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in different populations of Yunnan unexplained sudden death (YUSD) areas,and explore the relationship between PKP2 gene mutation and YUSD.Methods Heart blood samples of YUSD cases (n =7) and venous blood samples of YUSD immediate family (n =30) and other family (n =11) members were collected.Basic situation and genetic relationship of YUSD immediate family and other family were investigated,and electrocardiography (ECG) was examined.DNA from blood samples was extracted and 15 exons of PKP2 gene were sequenced to analyze the mutation of PKP2 gene in different populations.Results A total of 10 people carried 11 PKP2 gene mutation sites with a mutation rate of 20.83% (10/48).Two mutation sites were novel (p.G247R,p.T298N),and the new mutation sites were carried by two YUSD cases.Eight missense mutations were heterozygous mutations,two of the three synonymous mutations were heterozygous mutations,and one was homozygous synonymous mutation.The mutation sites were significantly concentrated in 4 exons,which were No.1 097 base of exon 4,No.819 and 893 bases of exon 3.2,No.739 base of exon 3.1,and No.156 base of exon 1.One YUSD case of ARVC pathological change carried exon 3.1 (p.G247R) and exon 4 (p.L366P) compound heterozygous mutations,the other YUSD case carried exon 3.2 (p.T298N) heterozygous mutation.The YUSD cases and immediate family with PKP2 gene mutations showed obvious family genetic relationships,and they were all first-degree and second-degree relatives.The abnormal ECGs of YUSD immediate family and other family mainly were conduction block,arrhythmia and premature beat.Conclusion There is a high PKP2 gene mutation rate in different populations of YUSD areas,and there may be a certain etiological connection between PKP2 gene mutations and YUSD.
ABSTRACT
Malignant tumors of the digestive system , with high morbidity and mortality rate , are insidious at the onset and lack of effective treatments so far .Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is one of the members of the IL-10 cytokine family discovered in recent years and was originally called IL-10-associated T cell differentiation inducing factor (IL-TIF).IL-22 expression is elevated in various digestive system malignant tumors, and increased IL-22 expression is associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis .Studies on the molecular mechanism revealed that IL-22 initiates a series of downstream signaling pathways such as JAK/STAT and MAPK, by acting on the IL-22 receptor, inducing tumorigenesis.IL-22 is expected to be a novel diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target of digestive system malignant tumor .
ABSTRACT
Gastric cancer, a common malignant tumor in digestive system with high morbidity as well as mortality rate, is insidious at the onset and lack of effective treatments so far. A growing number of studies have shown that exosome-derived miRNAs play an important role in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. Autocrine exosome miRNAs from gastric cancer cells regulated tumor growth, recurrence, metastasis and drug resistance, etc. Moreover, exosomal miRNAs in the tumor microenvironment can be delivered into cancer cells to facilitate intercellular communication, thus affecting the progress of gastric cancer. Due to exosomes, which were released into circulation from tumor cells, contain abundant, specific and stable miRNAs, exosome-derived miRNAs have a great potential to be used as novel diagnosis biomarkers and treatment targets of gastric cancer.(Chin J Lab Med, 2018, 41: 499-502)
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the characteristic of Yunnan unexpected sudden death (YUSD) cases by pathological diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC),in order to offer clue for ARVC etiologic research of YUSD.Methods The pathological diagnosis results of 9 cases of sudden death of ARVC in Yunnan,as well as epidemiological investigation data,were used to comprehensively analyze the pathological features of the pathological diagnosis of ARVC in Yunnan.Results The 9 cases including 8 females and 1 male,aged 16-47 years.The sudden death time was from June to August,mainly distributed in 8 families from the disease seriously ridden 7 villages.Three of them had a genetic history of family YUSD,2 cases had a history of mental stimulation,1 case had eaten Trogia venenata;and acute symptoms and signs were palpitation,chest tightness,shortness of breath,and loss of consciousness.Pathological observations were the typical ARVC change,mainly right ventricular lesions,with different degrees of cardiac enlargement and extensive adipose tissue infiltration in the ventricular wall.Among them,6 cases of fat infiltration almost reached the full thickness of the heart wall.In addition to the pathological changes of ARVC,8 cases were accompanied by one or several pathological changes in myocarditis,cardiac dysplasia,nephropathy,pulmonary edema,pneumonia and pancreatitis.Of the 9 cases,5 cases were diagnosed with ARVC,2 cases with ARVC and pulmonary edema,1 case with ARVC and acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis,and 1 case with ARVC and Trogia venenata poisoning.The clinical examination abnormalities of the family members of the cases mainly showed arrhythmogenic electrocardiography changes and abnormal myocardial enzymes.Conclusions The nine cases have showed typical epidemiology characteristics of YUSD,and cardiachistological changes are consistent with the ARVC pathological diagnostic criteria.A part of YUSD cases may be caused by ARVC,and the inference will be proved by cadaveric pathologic examination and related pathogenic gene detection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the profiles and function of small RNA (sRNA)gene during chondrogenesis in rats so as to clarify the mechanisms of chondrocytes proliferation and differentiation.Methods All the sRNAs were identified from the female SD rats femoral head cartilages at three time points:at birth,ablactation and maturation,and three sRNA libraries were constructed.The Solexa sequencing and the bioinformatics analysis were employed to be blasted with the genomes of SD rats.Results The perfect match reads in the three libraries were screened out,which were correspondent to the 21 7 921 (41.23%),1 96 650 (38.74%)and 245 436 (41.54%)unique sRNA sequence,respectively.The percentages of 20-24 nt sRNA were 71.94% (d0),72.85% (d21),and 86.39%(d42).Half of clean sequences were 22 nt sRNA.The distribution characteristics of the reads were in line with the high-quality sRNA.More than 62% clean reads were from mature miRNA while the ratios in the three libraries were only 0.69%,0.78% and 0.63%.About 60% of the unique sRNA could not be matched with miRBase20.0 or Rfam9.1.Conclusion The distribution model of miRNA in the three libraries indicates that the miRNAs with different functions or from different sources are involved in the regulation of chondrocytes proliferation and differentiation in bone development and formation.
