ABSTRACT

Background Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a common plasticizer in daily life and has been proved to be related to the exacerbation of allergic asthma. Domestic and foreign studies have shown that lipid peroxidation is closely related to the severity of asthma, which can be used as a basis for the diagnosis and treatment of asthma. Whether DBP can induce lipid peroxidation in allergic asthma remains to be further studied. Objective To investigate whether DBP aggravates allergic asthma by inducing lipid peroxidation in allergic asthma mice. Methods Eighty male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely control group, DBP group (40 mg·kg−1), 50 μg ovalbumin (OVA) group (allergic asthma model group), and DBP+OVA group. The DBP group and the DBP+OVA group were given DBP by gavage from Day 1 to 28, and the OVA group and the DBP+OVA group were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of OVA, once every 3 d, a total of 5 injections, from Day 9 to 21. From Day 29 to 35, the OVA group and the DBP+OVA group were challenged by OVA atomization. After the exposure, samples of blood and lung were collected. The airway hyperresponsiveness of mice was observed by lung function analysis. The serum contents of immunoglobulin E (IgE), OVA-specific immunoglobulin E (OVA-IgE), and lung homogenate levels of interleukin 4 (IL-4) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to evaluate airway allergic inflammation. The pathological changes of lung tissues were observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and collagen fiber (Masson) staining. The contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid ROS, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), reduced glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) in lung homogenates were detected by ELISA to evaluate lipid peroxidation. Results The results of lung function analysis showed that compared with the control group, the inspiratory resistance (Ri) and expiratory resistance (Re) of the OVA group and the DBP+OVA group were increased, and the lung compliance (Cldyn) was decreased. The DBP + OVA group was more severe, and the difference between the OVA group and the DBP + OVA group was statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the contents of IgE, OVA-IgE, and IL-4 in the OVA group and the DBP+OVA group were increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), which indicated more severe allergic airway inflammation. The HE sections of the OVA group and the DBP+OVA group showed inflammatory cell infiltration around the airway, airway wall hyperplasia and thickening, and severe airway deformation, and the presentation of the DBP+OVA group was the most serious. After Masson staining, the OVA group and the DBP+OVA group showed depositions of a large number of collagen fibers, and the blue collagen fibrosis in the DBP+OVA group was even more serious. ROS, lipid ROS, MDA, and 4-HNE levels increased and GSH and GPX4 levels decreased in the OVA and DBP+OVA groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01), with the most severe effect in the DBP+OVA group. Conclusion DBP may induce lipid peroxidation in mice allergic asthma by producing excessive ROS which may aggravate the allergic asthma in mice.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the present situation and epidemiological characteristics of pesticide poisoning in Chengdu City from 2012 to 2021, and to provide scientific evidence for further prevention and control. Methods: In January 2022, the pesticide poisoning report cards of Chengdu City from 2012 to 2021 were collected from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System. The data of the report card was reorganized and the distribution characteristics of pesticide poisoning such as time, region, gender, age and pesticide types were analyzed. Results: 14326 cases of pesticide poisoning were reported in Chengdu City from 2012 to 2021, 651 deaths, and the fatality rate was 4.54%. The cases of productive pesticide poisoning and unproductive pesticide poisoning were 504 and 13822, respectively. The fatality rates of productive and unproductive pesticide poisoning were 1.39% and 4.66%, which were significant different (χ(2)=11.99, P=0.001). The highest reported cases of pesticide poisoning was in 2013 (1779) and the lowest in 2021 (1047). The number of reported cases showed a downward trend year by year (t=-12.30, P<0.001), and the fatality rates also showed a downward trend year by year (χ(2)(trend)=25.48, P<0.001). The fluctuation range of unproductive pesticide poisoning cases in each month of the year was small, and the productive pesticide poisoning mainly occurred from May to August. The regions with the largest number of reported poisoning cases were Pengzhou (1620), Jianyang (1393), Jintang (1266) and Qionglai (1158). The high incidence of poisoning was among 25-54 years old (50.21%, 7193/14326). The fatality rate in the age group 75-96 years old was the highest (8.98%, 95/1058), and the fatality rates increased gradually with age (χ(2)(trend)=186.03, P<0.001). The pesticides causing poisoning were mainly insecticide (43.86%, 6284/14326) and herbicides (35.75%, 5121/14326). Herbicides paraquat had the highest fatality rate (9.54%, 286/2998) . Conclusion: Pesticide poisoning in Chengdu City is mainly unproductive poisoning. Health education should be carried out for key areas and people, and the control of highly toxic pesticides such as insecticide and herbicides should be strengthened.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the protective mechanism of topoisomerase I inhibitor on pancreatic acinar cells and lung during acute pancreatitis (AP) in mice.Methods:Eighteen Balb/C male mice were randomly divided into three groups using random number method: control group, AP group and CPT+ AP group. AP model was established by intraperitoneal injection of caerulein and lipopolysaccharide. CPT+ AP group received intraperitoneal injection of camptothecin (CPT, 50 mg/kg) before AP induction. Mice in control group were intraperitoneal injected with an equal volume of normal saline. The pathological examinations of pancreas and lung tissue were analyzed. The serum levels of amylase and lipase were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the mRNA expression of IL-1 and IL-6 were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR); the infiltration of CD 45+ cells in pancreas and lung tissue as well as the expression of phosphorylated mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein(MLKL) in pancreas were detected by immunohistochemistry; the apoptosis index of pancreatic cells was analyzed by TUNEL assay. Results:The pathological scores of pancreas and lung tissue, serum levels of amylase and lipase in CPT+ AP group were [(2.30±0.31), (2.29±0.34), (1742.33±183.51)U/L and (46.90±2.17)U/L], which were significantly lower than those in AP group [(5.06±0.88), (3.40±0.09), (2385.33±383.10)U/L and (69.13±9.76)U/L]; the mRNA expression of IL-1 and IL-6 in pancreatic tissue were 95.79±48.11, 255.50±213.32, which were also remarkably lower than those in AP group (212.35±80.61, 1006.80±509.06); the infiltration of CD 45+ inflammatory cells in pancreas and lung were (14.25±5.32, 29.20±4.44)/high power field, which were notably lower than those in AP group (59.83±13.67, 58.25±5.91)/high power field; the apoptosis index of pancreatic cells was significantly higher than that in AP group [(3.64±1.16)% vs (1.92±0.29)%]; the histochemistry score of phosphorylated MLKL protein in pancreatic tissue was significantly lower than that in AP group (1.75±0.20 vs 4.53±1.28), and the differences were statistically significant (all P value <0.05). Conclusions:Topoisomerase I inhibitor could induce the apoptosis of pancreatic acinar cells and inhibit the death mode of necrotic pancreatic acinar cells during AP remodeling, thus reducing pancreatic local injury and AP-associated lung injury.

ABSTRACT

Synephrine is a natural small-molecule alkaloid found in Aurantii fructus immaturus with versatile biological activities, but its derivatives have been rarely studied so far. Based on the multi-target drug design strategy, the phenolic hydroxyl and secondary amino group of synephrine were modified structurally by the molecular splicing method in this study and thus five intermediates and fifteen target molecules were designed and synthesized. These compounds were evaluated with certain human pathogenic bacteria and fungi, and found that the inhibitory activities of IM4 and IM5 against E.coli are comparable to those of eight fluoroquinolones; TM1n showed stronger inhibitory activity against drug-resistant C. trobicans and drug-resistant C. albicans than the positive control drug fluconazole. TM1d and TM1f against C. albicans ATCC90023, TM1o and TM1f against drug-resistant C. albicans, and TM1f against C. parapsilosis ATCC22019 are all comparable to fluconazole, all of which have the potential for in-depth research. In this study, synephrine derivatives with strong inhibitory activities against human pathogenic fungi were discovered for the first time, which provided a new idea for the further study of synephrine.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the correlation between nutritional status and acute toxicity induced by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer.Methods:A total of 115 patients with rectal cancer who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from March 2018 to August 2019 were prospectively selected. Nutritional risk was assessed by NRS 2002 and PG-SGA nutritional screening tools before, during and after radiotherapy. The acute toxicity was assessed by RTOG and CTCAE 3.0 scoring criteria. The correlation between nutritional status and the acute toxicity of chemoradiotherapy was analyzed by Spearman′ s correlation analysis. Results:The nutritional risk of the cohort was gradually increased from the beginning of chemoradiotherapy to the fourth week of chemoradiotherapy, and then decreased gradually. Spearman′ s correlation analysis showed that NRS 2002 and PG-SGA scores were positively correlated with acute hematological toxicity ( r=0.26, P<0.05; r=0.31, P<0.01), upper gastrointestinal toxicity ( r=0.51, P<0.01; r=0.63, P<0.01), proctitis ( r=0.23, P<0.05; r=0.45, P<0.01) and fatigue ( r=0.47, P<0.01; r=0.64, P<0.01) in patients with rectal cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy. The correlation coefficients between PG-SGA and various toxicities were higher than those of NRS 2002. Stratified analysis showed that patients with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ B, age<65 years and postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, nutritional status was significantly associated with the severity of toxicity (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with rectal cancer has a high risk of malnutrition during concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The higher the risk of malnutrition, the greater the acute toxicity of chemoradiotherapy. Therefore, dynamic nutrition assessment and nutritional support should be strengthened for rectal cancer patients during chemoradiotherapy.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To study the expression and function of long non-coding RNA linc00467 in childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML).@*METHODS@#Bone marrow samples were collected from 5 children with AML who were diagnosed from May 2016 to June 2018. Normal bone marrow samples based on bone marrow examination were collected from 3 children as controls. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the expression of linc00467 in the two groups. A lentivirus system was used to achieve overexpression of linc00467 in AML cells (HL-60) (linc00467 overexpression group), and empty vector expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) was transfected into AML cells to establish a GFP control group. A lentivirus system was used to insert an interfering sequence into AML cells (sh-linc00467 interfering group), and a random sequence was inserted to establish an sh-NC control group. Cell proliferation and resistance to doxorubicin were observed for all groups.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the normal control group, the children with AML had a significant increase in linc00467 (P=0.018). Overexpression and interference with linc00467 expression had no significant effect on cell proliferation. Compared with the GFP control group, the linc00467 overexpression group had a significant increase in the viability of HL-60 cells at the adriamycin concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 μg/mL (P<0.05). Compared with the sh-NC control group, the sh-linc00467 interfering group had a significant reduction in the viability of HL-60 cells at the adriamycin concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 μg/mL (P<0.05). Compared with the untreated group, the adriamycin treatment group had a significant increase in the expression of linc00467 in HL-60 cells (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#This study reveals the biological function of linc00467 to promote the resistance to adriamycin in AML, which provides a basis for developing new therapeutic drugs for AML.

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop and verify a medical microdevice for analyzing the three-dimensional(3D)migration of tumor cells in extracellular matrix. Methods The mold of the microdevice was made by precision machining,and then the medical microdevice based on polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)-glass was obtained by PDMS casting,moulding,and bonding.During the analysis,the suspension of tumor cells and matrigel were mixed and then added into the migration channel of microdevice,and the controllable migration of tumor cells in matrigel was induced by establishing chemokine concentration gradient on both sides of the migration channel.Meanwhile,the migration process of tumor cells was recorded with the live cell dynamic imaging device. Results Breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was taken as an example to verify the feasibility of the microdevice to control and dynamically monitor the 3D migration process of tumor cells in vitro.Qualitative analysis of imaging data showed that the migration of MCF-7 cell lines in matrigel was determined by the concentration gradient distribution direction of chemokine and presented as the amoeboid-like migration mode.The proportion and migration velocity of MCF-7 cells could be quantified by the quantitative analysis of cell migration process.The inhibition ability of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors(Batimastat)and adenosine triphosphatase inhibitors(Blebbistation)on the 3D migration behavior of MCF-7 cells was found to be different.Conclusion This device can be used for in-depth analysis of tumor cell migration and its mechanism and for evaluating the efficacy of anti-metastatic drugs.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the role of the arterial based complexity (ABC) scoring system in predicting clinically relevant outcomes of minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN). Methods: A retrospective review of 161 renal cell carcinoma patients who under-went MIPN at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from June 2016 to January 2018 was performed. The ABC score, including grades 1, 2, 3S, and 3H, were based on the patients'enhanced preoperative abdominal CT images. The reproducibility of the ABC scoring system was evaluated, and the relationship between the ABC score and patients'pathological features, surgery-related variables, postoperative complications, and renal function was analyzed. Results: Patients in grades 1, 2, 3S, and 3H in this study ac-counted for 20.5% (33/161), 60.2% (97/161), 11.8% (19/161), and 7.5% (12/161), respectively. The average Kappa value of the physi-cian's score was 0.523, and the average exact match percentage was 70.2%. The ABC score was significantly associated with operative time, warm ischemia time (WIT), estimated blood loss (EBL), and tumor size (P<0.001 for all) and was not associated with postopera-tive hospital stay, postoperative complications, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and eGFR at 3 and 6 months postoperatively (P>0.05 for both). Conclusions: The ABC score is a scoring system with good repeatability and has certain predictive significance for the complexity of MIPN. However, further research is needed for its clinical application.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the related influencing factors of high frequency hearing loss (HFHL) in workers exposed to noise and establish a prediction nomogram for HFHL.@*Methods@#A total of 822 workers exposed to noise from 46 enterprises were included. A questionnaire survey and a pure-tone hearing test were conducted for the workers. The data of noise level of the workers exposed was also collected. After single factor analysis of related influencing factors, the multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the final independent influencing factors of HFHL. Finally, a nomogram model was established by R software to achieve individual prediction of HFHL.@*Results@#Among the 822 workers exposed to noise, 166 (20.2%) workers had HFHL. In multivariate Logistic regression analysis, increasing age, men, increasing wearing earphone time, less wearing earplugs, and high noise level were the independent risk factors for HFHL. The C-index of the nomogram model for predicting HFHL was 0.834 (95%CI: 0.748~0.903) . The area under the predictive power curve of nomogram model was 0.834 (95%CI: 0.799~0.869, P<0.001) .@*Conclusion@#Age, sex, wearing earphone time, wearing earplugs, and noise level are independent influence factors for HFHL. The nomogram model is successfully established as a accurate and visible tool for individually predicting the HFHL risk in workers exposed to noise.

ABSTRACT

This meta-analysis compared the therapeutic effect of cable pin system (CPS) with K-wire tension band (KTB) in the treatment of patella fractures among Chinese Han population.The databases of PubMed,Cochrane library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Chinese WanFang and Chinese VIP were searched for studies on CPS versus KTB in the treatment of patella fractures among Chinese Han population.Literatures were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The quality of the studies was assessed,and meta-analysis was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration's REVMAN 5.3 software.A total of 932 patients from 15 studies were included in this meta-analysis (426 fractures treated with CPS and 506 fractures treated with KTB).There were significant differences in duration of hospital stay [mean difference (MD)=-1.07;95% confidence interval (CI):-1.71 to-0.43],fracture healing time (MD=-l.23;95% CI:-1.68 to-0.77),flexion degree of knee joint at 6th month after operation (MD=14.82;95% CI:10.93 to 18.71),incidence of postoperative complication [risk ratio (RR)=0.16;95% CI:0.09 to 0.27] and excellent-good rate of B(o)stman score (RR=1.09;95% CI:1.03 to 1.16) between the CPS group and KTB group,while no significant difference was found in operative time between the two groups (MD=-4.52;95% CI:-11.70 to 2.67).For the treatment of patella tractures among Chinese Han population,limited evidence suggests that the CPS is more suitable than the KTB when considering the hospital stay,fracture healing time,flexion degree of knee at 6th month after operation,incidence of postoperative complication and excellent-good rate of B(o)stman joint score.Due to the limitation of high quality evidence and sample size,more large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to validate the findings in the future.

ABSTRACT

In the present study, we used a proteomics approach based on a two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) reference map to investigate protein expression in the ovarian tissues of pubertal Swiss-Webster mice subjected to carbon ion radiation (CIR). Among the identified proteins, ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) is associated with the cell cycle[1] and that it influences proliferation in ovarian tissues. We analyzed the expression of UCH-L1 and the proliferation marker proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) following CIR using immunoblotting and immunofluorescence. The proteomics and biochemical results provide insight into the underlying mechanisms of CIR toxicity in ovarian tissues.

Objective To investigate the effect of low pH on acid-sensing ion channel 1a( ASIC1a) expression in vascular endothelial cells induced by serum IgA 1 from Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura ( HSP ) children and regulatory role of ASIC1a in it.Methods Human dermal microvascular endothelial cells ( HDMECs) treated by serum IgA1 from children with HSP were incubated in different pH medium .ASIC1a, destrin and α-SM mRNA expressions in HDMECs were evaluated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR).The level of inflammatory cytokines released by vascular endothelial cells was detected by ELISA .Moreover destrin and α-SM protein expres-sion in HDMECs was evaluated by Western blot .Results The results showed that in low pH condition , IgA1 from HSP children could induce the upregulation of ASIC 1a mRNA expression , stimulate IL-8, NO and TM release of vascular endothelial cells of HSP children .And blockers of ASICs could reduce acid-induced cytokine release of vascular endothelial cells .Moreover destrin and α-SM mRNA and protein expression in HDMECs of HSP children significantly decreased when exposure to extracellular acidosis .However blockers of ASICs increased destrin and α-SM mRNA and protein expression in vascular endothelial cells of HSP children .Conclusions These findings showed that activation of ASIC 1a could be involved in the vascular endothelial cell injury of HSP children .Blocking ASIC1a may have a significant protective effect on the inflammatory injury of vascular endothelial cells .

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate regional spontaneous brain activity in mild cognition impairment (MCI) patients with amnesic (aMCI) and non-amnesic (naMCI).Methods Twenty-five aMCI patients,21 naMCI patients and 15 normal controls (NC) underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging.The regional homogeneity (ReHo) map of the whole brain was obtained by calculating the similarity of each voxel with its nearest 26 voxel time series.The differences of ReHo map across the whole brain among three groups were compared.Results In aMCI group,ReHo values were lower in right frontal lobe and higher in left middle temporal gyrus and left cerebellum compared with NC (P<0.05,Alphasim correction).In naMCI group,ReHo values were higher in anterior cingulate cortex and right middle frontal gyrus and lower in right parahippocampa gyrus,right middle temporal gyrus as well as right precuneus compared with NC (P<0.05,Alphasim correction).Compared with naMCI,the ReHo values were significantly higher in left prefrontal gyrus,left middle temporal gyrus and lower in right cerebellum (P<0.05,Alphasim correction).Conclusion There are differences in spontaneous brain activity of left prefrontal gyrus,left middle temporal gyrus and right cerebellum between aMCI and naMCI,which may be used to differentiate brain function between aMCI and naMCI patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore risk factors for surgical site infection(SSI) in colorectal surgery,and provide evidence for formulating measures for preventing SSI.Methods Patients who underwent colorectal surgery in the department of gastrointestinal surgery of a hospital from June 2013 to June 2016 were surveyed retrospectively,the related risk factors for SSI were analyzed by unconditional logistic regression analysis.Results Among 397 patients who underwent colorectal surgery,67 (16.88%) had SSI.Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking,low albumin,seniority of surgeons less than 5 years,irrational use of antimicrobial agents during perioperative period,and high National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (NNIS) score were independent risk factors for SSI after colorectal surgery (all P<0.05).Conclusion There are multiple risk factors for SSI after colorectal surgery,it is necessary to pay attention to it and formulate preventive measures,so as to reduce the occurrence of SSI effectively.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of Gukang capsule combined with sodium hyaluronate injection on the treatment of the patients with osteoarthritis. Methods 94 osteoarthritis patients selected from December 2015 to March 2017 were randomly divided into study group (n=47) and control group (n=47). The control group were given sodium hyaluronate injection, the study group were received local injection of sodium hyaluronate combined with Gukang capsule. The changes of knee joint function (HSS scale score) and adverse reaction rate were recorded and compared before and after treatment in the two groups. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in HSS scores between the two groups. After treatment, the HSS score in the study group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the adverse reactions between the 2 groups during the treatment. Conclusion Local injection of sodium hyaluronate combined with Gukang capsule on the treatment of osteoarthritis, which can significantly improve the clinical efficacy, the security is higher. .
