ABSTRACT

Background/Aims@#There may be many predictors of anticoagulation-related gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), but until now, systematic reviews and assessments of the certainty of the evidence have not been published. We conducted a systematic review to identify all risk factors for anticoagulant-associated GIB to inform risk prediction in the management of anticoagulation- related GIB. @*Methods@#A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to search PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases (from inception through January 21, 2022) using the following search terms: anticoagulants, heparin, warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, DOACs, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, risk factors. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, studies of risk factors for anticoagulation-related GIB were identified. Risk factors for anticoagulant-associated GIB were used as the outcome index of this review. @*Results@#We included 34 studies in our analysis. For anticoagulant-associated GIB, moderate-certainty evidence showed a probable association with older age, kidney disease, concomitant use of aspirin, concomitant use of the antiplatelet agent, heart failure, myocardial infarction, hematochezia, renal failure, coronary artery disease, helicobacter pylori infection, social risk factors, alcohol use, smoking, anemia, history of sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, international normalized ratio (INR), obesity et al. Some of these factors are not included in current GIB risk prediction models. such as anemia, co-administration of gemfibrozil, co-administration of verapamil or diltiazem, INR, heart failure, myocardial infarction, etc. @*Conclusions@#The study found that anemia, co-administration of gemfibrozil, co-administration of verapamil or diltiazem, INR, heart failure, myocardial infarction et al. were associated with anticoagulation-related GIB, and these factors were not in the existing prediction models. This study informs risk prediction for anticoagulant-associated GIB, it also informs guidelines for GIB prevention and future research.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To explore the potential targets and mechanisms of the modified Baihe dihuang decoction (MBD/ BDD) applied in post-stroke depression (PSD). METHODS Network pharmacology was used to mine the potential targets and key pathways of MBD/BDD in the treatment of PSD. PSD model rats were induced by focal cerebral ischemia surgery combined with chronic unforeseen mild stress, and then were randomly divided into PSD model group, MBD/BDD group (12.6 g/kg, by raw drug), and fluoxetine hydrochloride (FLX) group (positive control, 2.3 mg/kg); a blank control group was also set up, with 8 rats in each group. Each administration group was given a corresponding medication solution by gavage once a day for 21 consecutive days. The intervention effect of MBD/BDD on depression-like symptoms in model rats was evaluated by open field and forced swimming tests. The brain tissues of rats in each group were dissected and total RNA was extracted for transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. The mRNA and protein expressions of genes with significant changes and common neurotrophic factors were verified based on the above results. RESULTS A total of 131 MBD/BDD antidepressant-related target genes were obtained (such as IL1B and AKT1, etc.), which were closely related to neural active ligand-receptor interactions and cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling pathway. MBD/BDD could significantly prolong or increase the total time spent and distance traveled in the central grid of qiangzhe@cqtcm.edu.cn PSD model rats, and significantly shorten the cumulative immobility time (P<0.05). After treatment with MBD/BDD, the number of genes that changed in rat brain tissue was much higher than that in the FLX group, and there were significant differences in gene profiles among the PSD model group, MBD/BDD group, and FLX group. There were 1 351 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the MBD/BDD group and the PSD model group, of which 178 were significantly down-regulated and 1 173 were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). Above 1 351 DEGs were involved in neuronal differentiation, chemical synaptic transmission regulation. They were significantly enriched in axonal guidance, cholinergic synapses and neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions. The top 30 genes in terms of up-regulation in the brain tissue of rats of MBD/BDD group were all associated with neuronal proliferation, development, differentiation, and migration. After MBD/BDD intervention, the expressions of Fezf2, Arx, Ostn, Nrgn genes, brain-derived neurotrophic factor and tyrosine kinase receptor B protein in brain tissue of rats were significantly increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The anti-PSD effect of MBD/BDD may be related to the up-regulation of the expression of genes related to neuronal proliferation, development, differentiation and migration, as well as the promotion of neural structural and functional repair.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the value of high-frequency ultrasound and shear wave elastography in preoperative evaluation of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) .Methods:A total of 95 patients with histopathologically confirmed cutaneous BCC were enrolled from Department of Dermatology, Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Zhongshan from January 2017 to December 2020, all of whom had underwent preoperative conventional ultrasonography and shear wave elastography. Conventional ultrasonography parametres including the maximum diameter, maximum infiltration depth, maximum blood flow velocity and resistance index were recorded, so were shear wave elastography parametres including the average Young′s modulus (Eave) , Young′s modulus standard deviation (Esd) and average Young′s modulus ratio (Eratio) . All the patients were divided into high- and low-risk BCC groups according to pathologic subtypes. Paired t-test was used to compare conventional ultrasonography and shear wave elastography findings between the 2 groups. Results:There were 15 cases in the high-risk BCC group and 80 cases in the low-risk BCC group. Compared with the low-risk BCC group, the high-risk BCC group showed significantly increased maximum depth of tumor infiltration (8.5 ± 4.6 mm vs. 4.5 ± 1.6 mm, t = 6.150, P < 0.001) , Eave (32.7 ± 11.2 kPa vs. 20.6 ± 5.1 kPa, t = 4.065, P = 0.001) and Esd (7.0 ± 4.1 kPa vs. 4.2 ± 2.1 kPa, t = 2.632, P = 0.018) , while there were no significant differences in the other measurement data between the two groups (all P > 0.05) . The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of the maximum infiltration depth, Eave and Esd for the diagnosis of high-risk BCC were 0.775, 0.909 and 0.822 respectively, and Eave showed the best diagnostic performance. Using 25.7 kPa as the cut-off value, the sensitivity and specificity of Eave were 86.7% and 85.0% for the diagnosis of high-risk BCC, respectively. Conclusion:High-frequency ultrasound and shear wave elastography can facilitate differential diagnosis between high- and low-risk BCC.

ABSTRACT

Here we investigate the physical and chemical properties of chiral self-assembling peptides and the role of uterine trauma regeneration. The circular dichroism was used to analyze secondary structure of chiral self-assembled peptide, and Congo red staining was used to observe the macroscopic process of peptide self-assembling. Erythrocyte lysis assay was used to examine the cleavage of peptide on cell membrane. The nanofiber scaffolds self-assembled by Chiral self-assembling peptides were used as the three-dimensional culture material to observe the growth effect of Hela cell. CCK-8 (cell counting kit-8) was used to study cell viability level between 2D (2-dimensional) and 3D (3-dimensional) culture environment. Rats endometrium curettage model was founded to evaluate the changes by immunohistochemistry staining and and HE staining. The secondary structure of chiral self-assembling peptides was stable β-sheet, and peptide could form dense membrane structure after 24 hours self-assembling cultured in salt ions. There was no harmful for the cell membrane of the peptide before and after self-assembling. Animal experiments show that chiral self-assembling peptide can significantly reduce the inflammatory response, promote the production of neovascularization, and accelerate the repair process. Chiral self-assembling peptide, as a new type of scaffold material, can construct a three-dimensional cell culture environment and used to repair uterine trauma.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of baicalein and quercetin on the enzymatic resistance of dentin matrix collagen.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Baicalein, quercetin and proanthocyanidin were dissolved in 20% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) ethanol and prepared into pretreatment agents with a concentration of 50 g/L. Demineralized dentin specimens were prepared and immersed in pretreatment agents at 37 °C for 24 h, then they were digested in solution containing type?collagenase. The pretreatment agents of blank control group and negative control group were 20% DMSO ethanol, blank control group were digested in solution without collagenase. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and the hydroxyproline content of enzymolysis liquid in each group were measured respectively after collagenase digestion for 24 h, the dentin collagen morphology were observed under a field emission scanning electron microscopic (FE-SEM) after collagenase digestion for 12 h.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After collagenase digestion for 24 h, the baicalein group had the highest UTS [(16.00±1.31) MPa], followed by proanthocyanidin group [(12.64±0.91) MPa], blank control group [(7.84±1.18) MPa], quercetin group [(3.20±1.07) MPa], and negative control group (0 MPa). Significant differences were detected among the UTS in each two group (P < 0.01). The hydroxyproline content in blank control group was the lowest [(0.40 ± 0.16) mg/L], followed by baicalein group[(2.95 ± 0.18) mg/L], proanthocyanidin group [(4.78±0.38) mg/L], quercetin group[(28.22±1.53) mg/L], and negative control group [(34.39±0.39) mg/L]. There were significant differences among the hydroxyproline contents in each group (P < 0.01). After collagenase digestion for 12 h, intact collagen network could be seen in blank control group under a FE-SEM. Collagen network in negative control group suffered nearly complete destruction and collapsed. In quercetin group, most of collagen collapsed. In proanthocyanidin group, a small portion of collagen destruction and collapse could be seen. In baicalein group, collagen network remained intact.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The use of baicalein and quercetin could improve enzymatic resistance of dentin matrix collagen at a concentration of 50 g/L. The effect of baicalein was better than that of proanthocyanidin while the effect of quercetin was weaker than that of proanthocyanidin.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the long-term efficacy of autologous stem cell transplantation for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Long-term follow up of 48 SLE patients with autologous stem cell transplantation were studied. All patients were followed up for 10 years. Among the patients, 24 cases were treated with purified CD34+ cells transplantation and 24 cases were treated with non-CD34+ cell transplantation. Comparison between groups was performed by x2 test. Results Among 5 dead patients, 4 died of transplantation related complications including 3 cases treated with CD34+ transplantion. The survival rate of those patients with more than 10 years duration of lupus was 90%(43/48). Among 43 patients, 7 had disease flare, 6 were treated with non-CD34+ cell transplantation. Eight patients went to college, 26 returned to normal life and 4 of them had children. Conclusion The long-term effect of SLE treated with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is good. The recurrence of CD34+ transplant patients is lower than those treated with non-CD34+ transplantation. The quality of life in SLE patients treated with transplantation is better than those treated with conventional therapy.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Infusion of hemopoietic stem cell from donors can promote the chimeric formation and induce specific immunologic tolerance in the allograft recipients. However, the pretreatment for cell transplantation has great toxicity to recipients. So immunosuppressant combined bone marrow infusion is introduced to anti graft versus host reaction. OBJECTIVE: Based on microchimerism, to study the security and associativity of chimera formation induced by kidney-bone marrow transplantation and immunologic tolerance.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The contrast observation was performed at the department of urinary surgery, The Third People's Hospital of Zhengzhou City from January 1998 to December 2005.PARTICIPANTS: According to ABO/Rh blood type and HLA matching, 96 female patients with chronic renal failure and waiting for kidney transplantation were divided into 2 groups, In the combination group, patients received kidney combined bone marrow transplantation; the other uremia patients received the other kidney of cadavers were served as control group. The donors were 48 healthy males. METHODS: Bone marrow of donors was collected simultaneously with kidney obtain and preserved with cryoprotectant at -198 ℃ in nitrogen canister. After kidney transplantation, large dose of anti-human lymphocyte immune globulin were used for 2 weeks, then (0.9-2.5)×10~8/kg mononuclearcell was reinfused. PCR-SRY was used to identify donor derived cell-chimerism. Lymphocyte subgroup of recipients was determined by blood test; and interleukin 10 was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay; in addition, the mass concentration of tumor necrosis factor α and tumor necrosis factor β was detected. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Chimerism, lymphocyte subsets and cytokines were detected at various time points following transplantation. Simultaneously, the transplantation results and complication status of recipients were observed. RESULTS: The positive rate of chimera in the combination group was greater than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The 3-year follow-up showed that incidence differences of acute rejection between recipients with positive chimera and recipients with negative chimera had significance (13%, 35%, P < 0.05). There was no graft versus host disease occurred in the combination group. CONCLUSION: Kidney-bone marrow transplantation can augment chimerism in early postoperative period, and significantly reduce the rate of acute rejection, which is safe and beneficia1to induce specific immunologic tolerance in the renal allograft recipients.
