ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)on sleep electroencephalogram(EEG)and event-related potential(ERP)in patients with somatoform disorders(SFD). Methods:Seventy-five SFD patients were recruited as an EA group to receive EA at Shenting(GV24)and Baihui(GV20)once daily,30 min each time,with 6 straight days as a treatment course,and 4 courses were conducted at 1-day intervals.Before treatment,patients underwent a survey using a physical symptom checklist on their primary symptoms.Before and after treatment,their sleep EEG was monitored using Quisi,and the ERP mismatch negativity(MMN)and P300 were detected.The Quisi sleep EEG and ERP were also examined among 40 normal volunteers as the normal group data. Results:During the trial,13 cases were removed from the EA group due to incomplete data,and 62 cases were finally included for statistical analyses.Of the 62 SFD patients,the main disturbing symptoms were cognitive impairments,sleep disorders,respiratory symptoms,digestive symptoms,five-sense organ problems,and cardiovascular symptoms in order.Before treatment,the EA group had increased MMN and P300 latencies and decreased amplitudes compared with the normal control group(P<0.01 or P<0.05);according to Quisi,the EA group also had reduced total sleep time(TST),shorter rapid eye movement sleep(REM)latency(RL)and REM time(RT),smaller number of REM period(NRP),extended sleep latency(SL),longer awaking time(AT),lower sleep efficiency(SE),larger percent of non-rapid eye movement sleep(NREM)stage 1(S1)and smaller percent of NREM stage 2(S2),and the percent of slow wave sleep(SWS),i.e.NREM stage 3(S3)plus stage 4(S4),also went down,all presenting significant differences between groups(P<0.01 or P<0.05).After 4 courses of treatment,the MMN and P300 latencies were reduced,and their amplitudes became larger in the EA group compared with the baseline(P<0.05);they had insignificant differences compared with the normal control group(P>0.05).Quisi showed that the TST and RL increased,and the SL and AT decreased in the EA group,and the predominant change in sleep architecture was reduced S1 percent,increased S2,and improved SE,all showing significant intra-group differences(P<0.01 or P<0.05);however,the intra-group difference in the NRP was statistically insignificant(P>0.05).Except the TST,RT,S1 percent,and SWS,there was no statistical significance in comparing the other Quisi parameters(including RL,NRP,SL,AT,SE,and S2 percent)between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion:SFD patients have a variety of clinical symptoms,and most of them show abnormal sleep EEG and ERP;EA can correct abnormal sleep EEG parameters and the MMN and P300 of ERP in SFD patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective @#To investigate the mechanism of micellar curcumol (MC) regulating the immune microenvironment of ovarian cancer by promoting the polarization of M2⁃type macrophages to M1 ⁃type in ovarian cancer ascites.@*Methods @#After the mice were divided into groups , a mouse ovarian cancer ascites model was constructed by using the mouse ovarian cancer cell line ID8. Then weight changes were observed , tumor tissue and ascites were collected. The expression of CD86 and CD206 on macrophages of the tumor tissue and ascites was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin ( mTOR) was detected by Western blot. A human monocytic leukemia cell line (THP⁃1) was induced to transform into M2 macrophage ( THP⁃1 M2 macrophage) in vitro , and then treated with 10 μg/ml MC. The apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The mRNA levels of macrophage mannose receptor (CD206) , transforming growth factor⁃β (TGF⁃ β) , interleukin (IL) Ⅳ1β and tumor necrosis factor⁃α ( TNF⁃α ) were detected by qRT⁃PCR. The expression of CD86 and CD206 was detected by flow cytometry , and Akt/mTOR expression and phosphorylation was detected by Western blot. @*Results @#In vitro study showed that the average body weight of the MC group was lower than that of the control group. Compared with the control group , CD206 expression of macrophages decreased in tumor tissue and ascites in the MC group , while the expression of CD86 increased. The Akt and mTOR phosphorylation level of macrophages in the MC group ′s ascites was lower than that in control group. ② In vivo study showed that there was no difference in apoptosis rate among the groups detected by flow cytometry. The mRNA expression level of CD206 ,TGF⁃ β and the protein expression level of CD206 in MC group were significantly lower than those in the control group , while the mRNA expression of IL⁃1β , TNF⁃α and the protein expression level of CD86 were significantly higher than those in the control group.

ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer is one of the major diseases threatening human health, with a high incidence and a low early diagnostic rate. There are many bottlenecks encountered during its treatment. Consequently, improving the early diagnostic rate and exploring new therapeutic targets are currently urgent challenges that need to be addressed. Telomerase is undetectable in normal tissues, but it exhibits high specificity and sensitivity in most cancers and has a definite correlation with prognosis. It may serve as a serum tumor marker and prognostic indicator. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene polymorphism can regulate the susceptibility of people to gastric cancer, and affect the occurrence, development, proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer through its target gene. Substances such as resistin, visfatin, G-quadruplex and methylenedioxyaniline can affect the occurrence and development of gastric cancer by regulating telomerase expression. The mechanism by which hTERT regulates tumor invasion and metastasis is currently unclear, so elucidating its mechanism is of great significance.This paper will review the research progress of this mechanism in recent years.

ABSTRACT

Objectives@#. We aimed to develop a new calculation model for calcium requirements in dialysis patients following parathyroidectomy. @*Methods@#. A total of 98 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism receiving parathyroidectomy from January 2014 to January 2022 were enrolled in this study. Among these patients, 78 were randomly selected for construction of the calcium requirement calculation model, and the remaining 20 patients were selected for model validation. The calcium requirement model estimated the total calcium supplementation for 1 week after surgery using variables with significant relationships in the derivation group by stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. Bias, precision, and accuracy were measured in the validation group to determine the performance of the model. @*Results@#. The model was as follows: calcium requirement for 1 week after surgery=33.798–8.929×immediate postoperative calcium+0.190×C-reactive protein–0.125×age+0.002×preoperative intact parathyroid hormone+0.003×preoperative alkaline phosphatase (R2=0.8). The model was successfully validated. @*Conclusion@#. We generated a novel model to guide calcium supplementation. This model can assist in stabilizing the serum calcium levels of patients during the early postoperative period. Furthermore, it contributes to the individualized and precise treatment of hypocalcemia in patients following parathyroidectomy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the risk factors of hypocalcemia and the correlation between calcium supplementation and clinical parameters after parathyroidectomy (PTX) in maintenance hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), and to analyze the effect of calcium supplementation after PTX on the long-term prognosis of patients.Methods:This study was a single-center retrospective study. The patients who underwent PTX in maintenance hemodialysis patients with SHPT in the Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University from October 2014 to March 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. Total PTX with auto transplantation or total PTX alone were the surgical procedures. According to the postoperative requirement of calcium in the first week, the patients were divided into two groups: high calcium supplement (>16.05 g/week) group and low calcium supplement group (≤16.05 g/week). According to the average serum calcium level in the first week after operation, the patients were divided into hypocalcemia group (≤2.1 mmol/L) and non-hypocalcemia group (>2.1 mmol/L) and the differences of clinical parameters between the two groups were compared. The correlation between clinical parameters and the postoperative calcium requirement was examined through Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis. The influencing factors for hypocalcemia after PTX were examined through logistic regression analysis. The survival curve was made by Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference of cumulative survival rate between the two groups was compared by log-rank test.Results:A total of 98 maintenance hemodialysis patients with SHPT were enrolled. The levels of serum calcium, phosphorus, and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) after the operation decreased significantly than those of preoperation (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed age ( β=-0.160, P=0.030), iPTH ( β=0.004, P=0.025) and C-reactive protein ( β=0.186, P=0.011) were correlated with postoperative calcium requirement. Preoperative alkaline phosphatase ( OR=1.002, 95% CI 1.000-1.004, P=0.018) and hemoglobin ( OR=0.977, 95% CI 0.954-1.000, P=0.048) independently predicted the occurrence risk of postoperative hypocalcemia through multivariate logistic regression analysis. The recurrence rate of high calcium supplement group was higher than that of low calcium supplement group (10.26% vs 0, P=0.023) and there was no significant difference in all-cause mortality between the two groups (17.95% vs 5.08%, P=0.086). The recurrence rate between the hypocalcemia group and non-hypocalcemia group was no significantly different (8.3% vs 1.8%, P=0.451) and there was no significant difference in all cause mortality between the two groups (12.5% vs 12.7%, P=1.000). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the cumulative survival rate between the two groups was no significantly different (log-rank test χ2=0.147, P=0.702). Conclusions:PTX is a safe and effective therapeutic method to reduce the level of iPTH and improve the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in SHPT patients. Age, iPTH and C-reactive protein are correlated with the postoperative requirement of calcium in the first week. Preoperative alkaline phosphatase and hemoglobin are independent risk factors for postoperative hypocalcemia. Correcting preoperative electrolyte disorder, improving infection and anemia can reduce the incidence of hypocalcemia after PTX.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different drying methods on volatile components of Pseudostellariae Radix. MethodThe samples were dried by different methods, including air drying, sun drying, hot air drying (40, 60, 80 ℃) and vacuum freeze drying. Gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) was used to compare the changes of volatile components in the samples after different treatments. The samples were incubated at 80 ℃ and 500 r·min-1 for 15 min, the injection temperature was 85 ℃, the injection volume was 200 μL, the flow rate of carrier gas was from 2 mL to 150 mL during 20 min, and the temperature of IMS detector was 60 ℃. SE-54 capillary column (0.32 mm×30 m, 0.25 μm) was used, the column temperature was 60 ℃, and the analysis time was 35 min. The differential spectra of volatile components were constructed and analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). ResultA total of 37 volatile components were identified from dried Pseudostellariae Radix. The number of compounds in descending order was ketones, aldehydes and alcohols. There were some differences in the volatile components in samples dried by different methods. And the volatile components in samples with sun drying, air drying and hot air drying at 40 ℃ were similar, compared with other drying methods, vacuum freeze drying and hot air drying at 80 ℃ had great effects on the volatile components of Pseudostellariae Radix, and the compounds in the samples with vacuum freeze drying were the least. ConclusionIn this study, GC-IMS for the detection and analysis of volatile components in Pseudostellariae Radix is established, which has the characteristics of high efficiency, nondestructive inspection and simple sample processing. This method can be used for the distinction of Pseudostellariae Radix dried by different methods. And hot air drying at 40 ℃ can effectively retain the volatile components of Pseudostellariae Radix, and achieve similar flavor to samples with sun drying and air drying.

ABSTRACT

Liver cirrhosis in China can be caused by many causes of which the most important one is chronic viral hepatitis. Hemorrhage and ascites were the main manifestations of decompensated liver cirrhosis, and the main cause of hemorrhage is viral hepatitis. The pathological basis of hemorrhage is portal hypertension and its secondary pathophysiological changes. Additionally, the deficiency of coagulation factors and the imbalance of coagulation and fibrinolysis both of which caused by the hypofunction of liver are also important reasons. This article reviews the mechanism of hemorrhage in decompensated liver cirrhosis in order to provide help for further research.

ABSTRACT

The incidence of diffuse gastric cancer is increasing year by year, comprehensive therapy is the main treatment. The main reason of surgical treatment failure is local recurrence, and the long-term curative effect is generally poor. Radiotherapy is an important part of comprehensive treatment for diffuse gastric cancer, which can reduce tumor stage before surgery and prevent recurrence and metastasis after surgery. Effective neoadjuvant radiotherapy is one of the approaches to improve surgical resection rate in patients with diffuse gastric cancer. In this paper, the clinical application of radiotherapy for diffuse gastric cancer will be reviewed, including the selection of reasonable radiotherapy system, precise location, dose setting, application of sensitization technology and mechanism of sensitization, in addition, the prevention and treatment of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and radiotherapy complications will be introduced.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the risk factor of renal anemia in maintenance hemodialysis patients (MHD) and the association of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic (NT-proBNP) level with renal anemia.Methods:Patients who received MHD for more than 3 months at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University from August 2018 to November 2018 were selected as the subjects. The patients were divided into anemia group and non-anemia group according to the hemoglobin level. The patients' general data, the laboratory examination and dialysis related data during the observation period were collected. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between anemia indicators, dialysis-related indicators and blood NT-proBNP levels. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for anemia in MHD patients.Results:A total of 160 patients with MHD were included in this study, aged (63.11±11.35) years. There were 79 males (49.4%) and 81 females (50.6%). The dialysis age was (118.01±82.32) months, hemoglobin was (110.09±13.48) g/L, and the median NT-proBNP was 3 985 ng/L. There were 73 cases (45.6%) in anemia group and 87 cases (54.4%) in non-anemic group, and NT-proBNP levels were significantly higher in anemia group than that in the non-anemia group ( t=-3.714, P<0.001). Hemoglobin levels were positively correlated with weekly dialysis time ( r=0.228) and albumin ( r=0.349), and negatively correlated with NT-proBNP levels ( r=-0.318). Hematocrit was positively correlated with weekly dialysis time ( r=0.283), serum calcium ( r=0.317), phosphorus ( r=0.264) and albumin ( r=0.513) with significance (all P<0.05). Univariate regression analysis showed that the level of ln (NT-proBNP) was negatively correlated with hemoglobin ( P<0.001). Stepwise multiple linear regression results showed that low albumin level and high NT-proBNP level were independent risk factors for renal anemia in MHD patients. Conclusions:The increase level of NT-proBNP in MHD patients is independently associated with the decrease level of hemoglobin. Low albumin level and high NT-proBNP level are risk factors for renal anemia, suggesting that the treatment of renal anemia needs to consider improving the factors such as malnutrition and high volume.

ABSTRACT

China is one of the regions with a high incidence of gastric cancer worldwide. Low detection rate and poor curative effect lead to unsatisfied prognosis and low five-year survival rate. Surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the mainstream comprehensive treatment scheme, however, multi-drug resistance may gradually prevail in the chemotherapy process. Chemotherapy, miRNA and autophagy interact with each other, but the mechanism is complex. MiR-155 is abnormally expressed in gastric cancer, which could promote autophagy, inhibit apoptosis, and interact with Helicobacter pylori to induce gastric cancer. Through its regulatory effect on autophagy, miR-155 can be used to treat gastric cancer, improve chemotherapy sensitivity and reverse drug resistance. The high expression of miR-155 in gastric cancer tissues suggests poor prognosis.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To characterize the traits of neuropsychological functioning deficits in patients with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with comorbid disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders (DICCD).@*METHODS@#Twenty out-patients with ADHD, 20 with ADHD with comorbid DICCD, and 20 with DICCD, all aged 6-16 years, were enrolled in this study, with 20 healthy subjects matched for age, gender and IQ serving as the healthy controls. The patients were diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Revision (DSM-5). All the subjects were assessed with Golden Stroop test and emotional Stroop test to evaluate their response inhibition and emotional responding.@*RESULTS@#In Golden Stroop test, the interference scores (IGs) of errors and reaction time both differed significantly among the groups ( < 0.05), and were the highest in patients with ADHD only. In emotional Stroop test, the mean reaction time (MRT) showed significant differences among the groups ( < 0.05); the MRT of positive- congruent trials in ADHD with comorbid DICCD group was shorter than that in ADHD group but longer than that in group DICCD; the MRT in the 3 case groups were all longer than that in the control group. The MRT of both positive-incongruent trials and negative-congruent trials in ADHD with comorbid DICCD group and DICCD group was shorter than that in ADHD group but longer than that in the control group. The MRT of negative- incongruent trials in DICCD group was shorter than that in ADHD group and ADHD with comorbid DICCD group but longer than that in the control group.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The response inhibition deficit and abnormal emotional responding are the core symptoms of ADHD. Bias emotional stimuli may render response inhibitory dysfunction in patients with DICCD with callous-unemotional traits of emotional responding disorder, especially in dealing with negative emotional trials, while the comorbidity of ADHD and DICCD tends to have the emotional response trait of DICCD.

ABSTRACT

The development of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) examination technology provides a new means for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic diseases, but how to form an objective and efficient diagnosis and treatment method is still a hot and difficult focus in EUS research. In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly and penetrated into various fields of medicine. Previous research suggests that artificial intelligence can be used to assist in detecting images for accurate and rapid EUS diagnosis. By adopting different classification models and combining different ultrasound methods, artificial intelligence has achieved high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of various pancreatic diseases, and can be applied to the prognosis evaluation of patients with pancreatic tumor after treatment. In the future, the development of artificial intelligence in the EUS field will surely take root in the specialized segmentation field.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of three treatment methods on renal anemia in maintenance hemodialysis patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to uremia and analyze the influencing factors of erythropoietin (EPO) dosage. Methods A total of 55 maintenance hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism at the hemodialysis center of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University from January 2015 to December 2016 were retrospectively divided into three groups according to different treatment methods, parathyroidectomy +forearm transplantation group (surgery group, n=16), cinacalcet treatment group (n=6), and calcitriol treatment group (n=33), respectively. The hemoglobin level and erythropoietin dosage were measured before treatment and in the 3rd month, the 6th month and the 12th month after treatment. The changes of hemoglobin and erythropoietin dosage in the three groups before and after treatment were observed, and the mixed effect model was used to analyze the difference of the change of hemoglobin and erythropoietin dosage among three groups. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of EPO dosage after one year. Results The levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) in the surgery group and the cinacalcet group before treatment were significantly higher than that in the calcitriol group (both P<0.05). In the 12th month after treatment, the levels of iPTH decreased significantly in the patients of surgery group and the cinacalcet group compared with those before treatment (both P<0.05). The levels of serum alkaline phosphatase, serum calcium and serum phosphorus in the surgery group also decreased significantly compared with those before treatment (all P<0.05). The mixed effect model analysis showed that the hemoglobin level of surgery group was on an upward trend after the treatment, and the overall level was significantly higher than cinacalcet and calcitriol treatment group (P=0.007). There was no significant difference in the dosage change of erythropoietin (EPO) in the three groups over time. However, the intra-group comparison of the mixed effect model showed that the dosage of EPO in the 12th month was significantly lower than that of before the treatment in surgery group (P=0.007). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that dialysis vintage (B=-0.064, P=0.012) and ferritin ≥ 500 μg/L (B=0.645, P=0.032) were independent influencing factors of EPO dosage. The longer the dialysis vintage, the less EPO dosage, and more EPO dosage were observed in patients with ferritin ≥ 500 μg/L. Conclusions Parathyroidectomy and forearm transplantation is more effective in reducing EPO dosage and improving renal anemia in maintenance hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Dialysis vintage and ferritin are independent influencing factors for the dosage of EPO.

ABSTRACT

Histone acetylation is a critical process in the regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) remove the acetyl group, leading to chromatin condensation and transcriptional repression. HDAC inhibitors are considered a new class of anticancer agents and have been shown to alter gene transcription and exert antitumor effects. This paper describes our work on the structural determination and structure-activity relationship (SAR) optimization of tetrahydroisoquinoline compounds as HDAC inhibitors. These compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit HDAC 1, 3, 6 and for their ability to inhibit the proliferation of a panel of cancer cell lines. Among these, compound 82 showed the greatest inhibitory activity toward HDAC 1, 3, 6 and strongly inhibited growth of the cancer cell lines, with results clearly superior to those of the reference compound, vorinostat (SAHA). Compound 82 increased the acetylation of histones H3, H4 and tubulin in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that it is a broad inhibitor of HDACs.

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the anti-tumor effects of FS-108 an Hsp90 inhibitor, on oncogene addicted EBC-1 and A375 cells. Methods SRB assay was performed to investigate cell proliferation. Immunoblot was conducted to investigate the specific proteins. FACS was conducted to test cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. Transwell assay was conducted to investigate cell motility. Results FS-108 significantly suppressed cell proliferation of EBC-1 and A375 cancer cells with IC50 at 25. 53 nmol · L-1 and 30. 02 nmol · L-1 re-spectively. FS-108 treatment triggered the degradation of key client proteins such as c-Met and B-Raf and thereby reduced their downstream AKT and ERK signa-ling pathways. The FACS analysis results demonstrated that FS-108 treatment induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis significantly. Furthermore, FS-108 inhibited the migration of EBC-1 and A375 cells. Conclusion As a potent Hsp90 inhibitor, FS-108 can inhibit onco-gene addicted cancer cells proliferation through induc-tion of G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the therapeutic effect of immediate breast reconstruction using latissimus dorsi musculocutane-ous flap after modified radical mastectomy with the conventional modified radical surgery of breast cancer. Methods:A retrospec-tive analysis of 224 female patients with Stage 0 to IIIA breast cancer was conducted. The patients were admitted to the Department of Breast Surgery of Liuzhou People's Hospital between November 2009 and July 2012. The cases were divided into two groups accord-ing to different surgical options:immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) and modified radical surgery of the breast (MRSB). After con-trastive analyses of the postoperative complications, cosmetic results, quality of life, local failure rate, distant metastases and mortality rates between the two groups, the therapeutic efficiency of the two surgeries was evaluated. Results:No statistical differences were ob-served in the postoperative complications between the two groups, such as hydrops, skin flap necrosis, limb exercise and shoulder joint motion, drainage time, and starting time of adjuvant therapy (P>0.05). The patients in the IBR group had a better quality of life than those in the MRSB group (P0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the tradi-tional MRSB group, the option of IBR after modified radical mastectomy not only achieves similar therapeutic outcomes but also pres-ents advantages such as better aesthetic effect of the reconstructed breast, easy surgical procedures, high safety, improvement of the breast contour outline, and improved quality of life after operation. Therefore, IBR is a safe and available therapeutic method for pa-tients with early breast cancer.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To describe the current situation in the nursing practice and their turnover intention in township health centers, and to analyze the changing potential influence in the nursing practice scope and workloads on their intention to leave those health centers. Methods:By means of a questionnaire, we conducted a survey on 167 nurses and interviewed 44 of them, all from 45 township hospitals within three provinces in China. Results:Since the healthcare system reform, the nursing workload in the township health centers significantly increased. 62% of the re-spondents considered their workload as heavy. Typically, the nursing work accounted for about 60% and the public health service work accounted for only 21% of the working hours. About 30% of the respondents were intended to leave their current job. The participating public health service was associated with intention to leave the job after con-trolling the province, workload, marital status, formal position, educational level and length of nursing service (P<0. 05). Conclusions:Since the healthcare system reform, the nursing practice scope in township health centers has been expanded and the workload increased considerably. But so far, expanding the scope of the nursing work may have potentials in reducing the intention of nurses to leave their current positions.
