ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Many clinical research observations have indicated a close association between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis as well as bone mineral density(BMD).However,it remains unclear whether there is a causal genetic relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and the development of osteoporosis and alterations of BMD. OBJECTIVE:To assess the potential causal relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis as well as BMD using a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach,provide meaningful insights from a genetic perspective into the underlying mechanisms and offer a reference for early prevention of osteoporosis and improvement in the progression of the disease. METHODS:We conducted a study using data from publicly available genome-wide association studies databases to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with rheumatoid arthritis as instrumental variables(P<5×10-8).The main outcomes of the study included osteoporosis and BMD at five different sites,including total body BMD,lumbar spine BMD,femoral neck BMD,heel BMD,and forearm BMD.The inverse variance-weighted method was used as the primary analysis method to evaluate causal effects.Weighted median,simple median,weighted mode and MR-Egger regression were used as supplementary analyses.Causal relationships between rheumatoid arthritis and the risk of osteoporosis and BMD were assessed using odds ratios(OR)and 95%confidence intervals(CI).Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test and horizontal pleiotropy was evaluated using MR-Egger intercept tests. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The inverse variance-weighted analysis demonstrated a positive association between genetically predicted rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis(OR=1.123,95%CI:1.077-1.171;P=4.02×10-8).Heterogeneity test(P=0.388)indicated no significant heterogeneity among the single nucleotide polymorphisms.MR-Egger intercept(P=0.571)tests did not detect horizontal pleiotropy,and sensitivity analysis showed no evidence of bias in the study results.There was no causal relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and BMD at the five different sites.The total body BMD(OR=1.000,95%CI:0.988-1.012;P=0.925),lumbar spine BMD(OR=0.999,95%CI:0.982-1.016;P=0.937),femoral neck BMD(OR=1.001,95%CI:0.986-1.016;P=0.866),heel BMD(OR=0.996,95%CI:0.989-1.004;P=0.419),and forearm BMD(OR=1.063,95%CI:0.970-1.031;P=0.996)indicated no significant association.MR-Egger intercept analysis did not detect potential horizontal pleiotropy(total body BMD:P=0.253;lumbar spine BMD:P=0.638;femoral neck BMD:P=0.553;heel BMD:P=0.444;forearm BMD:P=0.079).Rheumatoid arthritis may contribute to the development of osteoporosis through the interaction between chronic inflammation and bone formation,resorption,and absorption.Additionally,the use of glucocorticoids and the presence of autoantibodies(such as anti-citrullinated protein antibody)in patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed associations with osteoporosis.Future research should focus on monitoring systemic inflammatory markers,standardized use of glucocorticoids,and regular screening for osteoporosis risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that the occurrence and prevention of osteoporosis often focus on the cellular molecular level,and the mechanism of related signaling pathways is an important way to further understand osteoporosis.At present,traditional Chinese medicine has been proved to play a significant role in alleviating osteoporosis.Kaempferol as an emerging Chinese herbal extract has become the focus of clinical and basic research due to its anti-osteoporosis effectiveness and mechanism of action. OBJECTIVE:To further understand the mechanism underlying the anti-osteoporosis effect of kaempferol active monomer through regulation of related signaling pathways by analyzing and collating domestic and foreign literature. METHODS:"Kaempferol,osteoporosis,osteoblasts,osteoclasts,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,signaling pathways"were used as Chinese and English search terms to search CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,Web of Science and Embase databases for relevant literature published from database inception to February 2023. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Kaempferol affects the occurrence and progression of osteoporosis to varying degrees by participating in the regulation of differentiation,proliferation and apoptosis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,osteoblasts and osteoclasts.Kaempferol can prevent and treat osteoporosis by regulating various signaling pathways.Kaempferol can promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and inhibit the formation of osteoclasts by interfering with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to regulate β-catenin protein counting and the formation of β-catenin-TCf/LEF complex.Kaempferol interferes with the RANK/RANKL pathway to maintain the dynamic balance of osteoclasts and bone homeostasis.Kaempferol can promote bone formation by intervening with the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to upregulate the levels of related osteogenic factors Runx2 and Osterix and promote bone cell calcification.Kaempferol interferes with osteoclast differentiation and inhibits reactive oxygen species activity by regulating the ER/ERK pathway.Kaempferol inhibits the expression of ERK,JNK,p38/MAPK and decreases reactive oxygen species production by interfering with the MAPK pathway,thus protecting osteogenesis.Kaempferol enhances the expression of osteogenic factors,bone morphogenetic protein-2,p-Smad1/5/8,β-catenin and Runx2,inhibits the expression of Peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor,and promotes the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts through the BMP/Smad pathway.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that research on naringin anti-osteoporosis mostly stays in in vitro and in vivo experiments.Understanding the mechanism of related signaling pathways and the expression of related proteins and some specific genes is an important way to deeply understand naringin anti-osteoporosis.At present,traditional Chinese medicine has been confirmed to have a significant role in anti-osteoporosis.Naringin is one of the main active ingredients in Rhizoma Drynariae.Its effectiveness and mechanism of action against osteoporosis have been gradually recognized by scholars,and its clinical and basic research has been gradually emphasized. OBJECTIVE:To analyze and summarize the research progress of naringin in anti-osteoporosis in vitro and in vivo,thereby providing some ideas for the next step to study its related mechanism of action. METHODS:The relevant literatures included in CNKI and PubMed database were searched with the Chinese search terms of"naringin,osteoporosis,traditional Chinese medicine compound,pathogenesis,signaling pathway,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,osteoblasts,osteoclasts"in Chinese and English,respectively.The corresponding criteria were established according to the research needs,and finally 69 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Naringin blocks the increase in the number of osteoclasts and adipocytes,the decrease in the number of osteocytes and osteocalcin(+)cells induced by fructose-rich diet,and promotes the secretion of Sema3A from osteoblasts and osteocytes,thereby enhancing local bone formation and inhibiting osteoclast production by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.Naringin is an important way to induce autophagy of osteoblasts,but autophagy-related proteins participate in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation.Lack of autophagy in osteoblasts reduces mineralization and leads to an imbalance in the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts,which results in bone loss and decreased bone density.The composite scaffold loaded with naringin can be used as a necessary carrier for bone defect repair and has excellent bone repair properties.Naringin can also accelerate the growth of new bone tissue by increasing the local contents of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor.Naringin can regulate bone metabolism and inhibit oxidative stress via ERK,PI3K/Akt and Wnt signaling pathways to improve osteoporosis,which can play a good role in preventing and controlling the disease.However,the depth and breadth of the relevant research is insufficient.Based on the mechanism of the current study,we should investigate the specific mechanisms by which naringin regulates different pathways and inter-pathway interactions in the future,which will be beneficial to the multifaceted development of naringin used in the treatment of osteoporosis..

ABSTRACT

Objective:To introduce a surgical technique of " short distances and multi-segment" buried-guiding suture method and its effects in the surgery of early descent of prosthesis after augmentation mammaplasty.Methods:From August 2019 to January 2022, 15 cases of early descent of prosthesis after augmentation mammaplasty due to axillary approach breast augmentation for micromastia were admitted to the Plastic Surgery Department of Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital, aged 23-35 years (27.3±3.6) and duration of dislocation from 16 to 35 days (23.8±5.8). There were 12 patients showed unilateral prosthesis drops and 3 patients showed bilateral prosthesis drops. " Short distances and multi-segment" buried-guiding suture method was used to solve the problem, i. e., 2-0 non-absorbable sutures were used to eliminate the lower pole of prosthetic cavity with " short distances and multi-segment" sutures. The distance from the nipple to the midline of the sternum, the distance from the sternotomy to the nipple, the distance from the nipple to the inframammary fold and the distance from the midclavicular point to the inframammary fold were measured bilaterally before and after surgery, and statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of the " short distances and multi-segment" buried-guiding suture method for early descent of prosthesis after breast augmentation.Results:All incisions healed by first intention without complications such as hematoma, infection, or scar hyperplasia. 15 patients were followed up for 6-12 months (8.0±1.9). 14 patients were satisfied with the results after surgery, and 1 patient received satisfactory results after secondary surgery. The distance from nipple to inframammary fold was shortened by 0.8-1.4 cm after surgery (1.2±0.2), and the distance from mid-clavicle to inframammary fold was shortened by 1.0-1.6 cm (1.3±0.4), and the differences were statistically significant as compared with the values before surgery ( t=31.17, P<0.05; t=33.78, P<0.05). After surgery, the change in the distance from nipple to sternal was 0.1-0.3 cm (0.16±0.10), and the change in the distance from sternal notch to nipple was 0-0.2 cm (0.12±0.10), and the differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:With the advantages of simple operation, little trauma and no additional incision, the " short distance and multi-stage" buried-guiding suture method in the surgery of early descent of prosthesis after augmentation mammaplasty is worthy of clinical application.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo study the effects of Buyang Huanwutang on the skeletal muscle injuries in type 2 diabetes mellitus from mitochondrial transport, glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation. MethodA total of 60 SPF-grade male C57BL/6J mice were selected in this study. The mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus was established with a high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The mice were assigned by the random number table method into blank control, model, high-, medium-, and low-dose (86.5, 43.2, 21.6 g·kg-1, respectively) Buyang Huanwutang, and metformin (150 mg·kg-1) groups, 10 mice in each group. During the experiment period, blood glucose and other indicators of mice were measured regularly. At the end of the experiment, skeletal muscle samples were collected and frozen in 4% paraformaldehyde and -80 ℃, respectively. Blood samples were sent for examination. The skeletal muscle was stained with hematoxylin-eosin. The levels of inflammation indicators and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of mitochondrial proteins was determined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. ResultCompared with the blank control group, the model group showcased increased fasting blood glucose, water intake, and food intake (P<0.01) and decreased body weight (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, metformin and Buyang Huanwutang reduced the fasting blood glucose, water intake, and food intake (P<0.05, P<0.01) and increased the body weight (P<0.01). Compared with the blank control group, the model group showed rising levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and ROS (P<0.01), which were decreased by metformin and Buyang Huanwutang (P<0.05, P<0.01). The skeletal muscle fibers in the model group were generally atrophic and thin, which suggested atrophy and morphological changes of the skeletal muscle, while metformin and Buyang Huanwutang alleviated the pathological changes of the skeletal muscle and restored the morphology of fiber bundles. Compared with the blank control group, the modeling down-regulated the expression of the mitofusin2 (Mfn2) (P<0.01), which was up-regulated by metformin and Buyang Huanwutang (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the blank control group, the modeling up-regulated the expression of the dynamin-related protein (Drp1) (P<0.01), which were down-regulated by metformin and Buyang Huanwutang (P<0.01). ConclusionBuyang Huanwutang can improve the body weight and attenuate the pathological changes of the skeletal muscle, reduce fasting blood glucose, food intake, and water intake, lower the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and ROS, down-regulate the expression of Drp1, and up-regulate the expression of Mfn2 in the mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the differences in the risk factors for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) between the 2005 and 2016 editions of the definition and classification standards for pancreatic fistula, and to establish a risk prediction model for pancreatic fistula based on the 2016 edition. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 303 patients who were admitted to Tianjin Third Central Hospital and underwent PD from January 2016 to May 2022, and the patients with POPF were identified based on the new and old editions. The independent-samples t test or the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the differences in the risk factors for pancreatic fistula after PD between the two editions; a risk prediction model was established for POPF based on the 2016 edition, and the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to invesitgate the accuracy of this model in predicting POPF and perform model validation. ResultsAccording to the 2005 edition, the univariate analysis showed that the diameter of the main pancreatic duct (χ2=31.641, P<0.001), main pancreatic duct index (χ2=52.777, P<0.001), portal vein invasion (χ2=6.259, P=0.012), intra-abdominal fat thickness (χ2=7.665, P=0.006), preoperative biliary drainage (χ2=5.999, P=0.014), pancreatic cancer (χ2=5.544, P=0.019), marginal pancreatic thickness (t=2.055, P=0.032), pancreatic CT value (t=-3.224, P=0.002), and preoperative blood amylase level (Z=-2.099, P=0.036) were closely associated with POPF, and the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that main pancreatic duct index (odds ratio [OR]=0.000, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.000‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.011, P<0.05), pancreatic cancer (OR=4.843, 95%CI: 1.285‍ ‍—‍ ‍18.254, P<0.05), and pancreatic CT value (OR=0.869, 95%CI: 0.806‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.937, P<0.05) were independent risk factors; based on the 2016 edition, the univariate analysis showed the diameter of the main pancreatic duct (χ2=5.391, P=0.020), main pancreatic duct index (χ2=11.394, P=0.001), intra-abdominal fat thickness (χ2=8.899, P=0.003), marginal pancreatic thickness (t=2.665, P=0.009), pancreatic CT value (t=-2.835, P=0.004) were closely associated with POPF, and the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that main pancreatic duct index (OR=0.001, 95%CI: 0.000‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.050, P<0.05) and pancreatic CT value (OR=0.943, 95%CI: 0.894‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.994, P<0.05) were independent risk factors. A risk prediction model was established for POPF after PD, and the ROC curve analysis showed that this model had an area under the ROC curve of 0.788 (95%CI: 0.707‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.870) in the modeling group and 0.804 (95%CI: 0.675‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.932) in the validation group. ConclusionMain pancreatic duct index and pancreatic CT value are closely associated with POPF after PD, and the risk prediction model for pancreatic fistula based on the 2016 edition has a good prediction accuracy.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the status of excess heart age and its risk factors among Chinese residents aged 35 to 64 years. Methods: The study subjects were Chinese residents aged 35 to 64 years who completed the heart age assessment by WeChat official account "Heart Strengthening Action" through the internet from January 2018 to April 2021. Information such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, total cholesterol (TC), smoking history, and diabetes history was collected. The heart age and excess heart age were calculated according to the characteristics of individual cardiovascular risk factors and the heart aging was defined as excess heart age≥5 years and 10 years respectively. The heart age and standardization rate were calculated respectively based on the population standardization of the 7th census in 2021.CA trend test was used to analyze the changing trend of excess heart age rate and population attributable risk (PAR) was used to calculate the contribution of risk factors. Results: The mean age of 429 047 subjects was (49.25±8.66) years. The male accounted for 51.17% (219 558/429 047) and the excess heart age was 7.00 (0.00, 11.00) years. The excess heart age rate defined by excess heart age≥5 years and ≥10 years was 57.02% (the standardized rate was 56.83%) and 38.02% (the standardized rate was 37.88%) respectively. With the increase of the age and number of risk factors, the excess heart age rate of the two definitions showed an upward trend according to the result of the trend test analysis (P<0.001). The top two risk factors of the PAR for excess heart age were overweight or obese and smoking. Among them, the male was smoking and overweight or obese, while the female was overweight or obese and having hypercholesterolemia. Conclusion: The excess heart age rate is high in Chinese residents aged 35 to 64 years and the contribution of overweight or obese, smoking and having hypercholesterolemia ranks high.

ABSTRACT

Standardized Residency Training (SRT) in China is gradually maturing. To standardize the training quality in each training base, corresponding standards have been published with regular revisions to various indicators. However, some training bases and professional bases still face challenges such as inadequate awareness of qualified teaching resources, lack of precise regulations, and absence of standardized process assessment. Through years of cumulative in-depth interpretation of various assessment indicators and innovations based on the characteristics of laboratory medicine residents, the clinical laboratory base in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences is continuously improving the quality of teaching staff through a multi-level teacher qualification training mode and a strict assessment mechanism. Meanwhile, a comprehensive and effective training system has been established to ensure the smooth implementation of SRT tasks. In addition, a diversified lecture system and a standardized progressive assessment process have been established to enhance the overall clinical abilities of residents.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship between integrin ɑ3(ITGA3)expression and immune cell infiltration in colorectal cancer(CRC).Methods:Bioinformatic methods were used to analyze ITGA3 mRNA expression in pan-cancer and CRC tissues,as well as its associ-ation with CRC prognosis.The correlation between ITGA3 and tumor-infiltrating immune cells was also investigated.In total,233 cases of CRC diagnosed at Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital between January and December 2021 were included,and ITGA3,CD8,CD163,FOXP3,PD-L1,CTLA-4,and PD-1 expression in CRC tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry(IHC)to analyze the relationship between ITGA3 and infiltrating immune cells and immune checkpoints.Results:Bioinformatics analysis showed elevated ITGA3 mRNA levels in CRC.High ITGA3 expression was associated with PFS(P<0.05).Univariate and multifactorial analyses showed that age and stage were significantly cor-related with prognosis(P<0.05).In addition,ITGA3 upregulation was closely correlated with multiple immune cell infiltration levels in CRC.Furthermore,IHC results showed that ITGA3 expression in CRC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues(P<0.05).ITGA3 expression was associated with lymph node metastasis(P<0.05)and correlated with the expression of immune markers,such as CD8+T-cells,PD-L1,and CTLA-4(P<0.05).Conclusions:ITGA3 is highly expressed in CRC,which is closely related to immune cell infiltration and may regulate the tumor immune microenvironment,which provides a new idea for clinical treatment and a potential new independent predictive marker.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of establishing a canine model of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration through the application of cumulative axial load and a six-phase combined motion on the vertical sitting dog's lumbar spine.Methods:Twenty adult female grass dogs, each weighing 10.0±0.5 kg, were randomly divided into two groups, with 10 dogs in each group. In the model group, dogs were secured to an exercise machine in a vertical position, and six phases of lumbar spine movement (flexion and extension, left and right lateral flexion, left and right rotation, 45° each) were combined with a specific number of cycles under continuous axial load (245 N). In the control group, dogs were secured to the exercise machine in a vertical position without any intervention. Radiographic examinations were performed before and after 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, and 150,000 compound exercises in the model group. The disc height index (DHI) was measured through lateral X-ray, and MRI T2-mapping was used for quantitative analysis of intervertebral disc degeneration. When intervertebral disc degeneration was evident on MRI T2-weighted imaging (modified Pfirrmann system > Grade V), the combined motion was halted. Micro-CT quantitative analysis of bone mineral density (BMD) in the upper and lower endplates, trabecular bone structure, and histological staining (HE staining, "O" staining, Sirius red staining) were employed to verify and assess the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration.Results:After 50,000 compound exercises, mild degeneration of the intervertebral discs at L 6-7 and L 7S 1 was observed on T2-weighted imaging. With the accumulation of exercise load, the degree of degeneration progressively increased, reaching a moderate degree of degeneration after 100,000 composite exercises, and DHI began to decrease. Mild degeneration was also observed in the upper L 5-6 intervertebral disc. When the cumulative exercise volume reached 150,000 repetitions, the height of intervertebral spaces in the L 5-6, L 6-7, and L 7S 1 segments further decreased, and the intervertebral discs exhibited severe degeneration (improved Pfirrmann grading system Grades IV-VI). The upper L 4-5 intervertebral discs also displayed mild degeneration. Histological scores were as follows: L 5-6 (8.2±0.8), L 6-7 (9.5±0.7), and L 7S 1 (10.3±0.5), indicating a degree of degeneration in the order of L 5-6<L 6-7<L 7S 1. HE and safranine "O" staining confirmed the significant collapse of the intervertebral spaces in the L 5-6, L 6-7, and L 7S 1 segments, characterized by severe shrinkage of the nucleus pulposus tissue, a disordered internal structure, and nearly absent vacuolar-like nucleus pulposus cells. Sirius red staining revealed pronounced folds, disordered arrangement, and multiple fractures in the fibers of the anterior and posterior rings of the intervertebral disc. The posterior ring of the disc exhibited more pronounced changes than the anterior ring, and the thickness of the bone endplate and bone trabecular density became thinner and less dense. Micro-CT quantitative analysis further confirmed that the BMD and number of trabeculae in the upper and lower endplates of the L 5-6, L 6-7, and L 7S 1 segments were significantly lower than those in the control group and other segments of the model group, while the trabecular separation was significantly higher than that in the control group and other segments of the model group. Conclusion:The utilization of the "Lumbar Composite Exercise Machine" can effectively replicate the biomechanical and kinematic characteristics of human lumbar intervertebral discs. Cumulative axial load and six-phase composite exercise can induce varying degrees of chronic degeneration in canine lumbar intervertebral discs, which is related to the exercise load, particularly in the L 5-6, L 6-7, and L 7S 1 segments.

From 29 collected responses, 28 were deemed suitable for in-depth statistical analysis.Results:In Tianjin′s 28 surveyed tertiary hospitals, 16 routinely hold ethics review meetings monthly. Nine hospitals have established pre-ethics review processes, and three have achieved mutual recognition of their ethical review outcomes. Additionally, five hospitals have integrated electronic information systems. From 2019 to 2021, there has been an increase in clinical trials and Investigator-Initiated Trials (IITs) under initial review, with a significant presence of multi-center clinical trials (90%) and multi-center IIT studies (75%). The timeframe for clinical research review opinions ranged from 18.84 to 20.69 days between 2019 and September 2022, while the duration for clinical research review approvals varied from 22.03 to 23.68 days. During the same period, clinical trial management efficiency spanned from 48.42 to 62.65 days, and IIT study management efficiency was between 25.54 to 28.17 days. Participants identified the main factors influencing management efficiency as stemming from research institutions and sponsors.The majority of hospitals expressed support for the advancement of mutual recognition of ethical reviews and the implementation of a unified submission checklist and template.Conclusions:The Ethics Committees in Tianjin′s third-level hospitals have progressively evolved towards standardization. There is a marked improvement in the efficiency of ethical reviews and overall management of clinical research, indicating a positive development towards more streamlined and effective ethical governance in clinical studies.

ABSTRACT

Early diagnosis, effective treatment and monitoring of recurrence and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma have always been difficult problems for clinicians. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma cells' proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism and other processes, and can be released into body fluids such as blood, urine and saliva. The peripheral blood miRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma can be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis, efficacy assessment, recurrence and metastasis monitoring and prognosis judgment, and may even become therapeutic targets for hepatocellular carcinoma. This article summarizes the research progress of circulating miRNA in peripheral blood as markers for diagnosis and treatment monitoring of hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a chronic functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain and diarrhea, with visceral hypersensitivity and abnormal gastrointestinal dynamics as the pathophysiological basis. The brain-gut interaction plays a role in pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders, especially IBS-D. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), as an important brain-gut peptide regulating gastrointestinal function, affects brain activity, gastrointestinal motility, pain perception, mucosal inflammation, and immune response through brain-gut interaction and is associated with the occurrence and development of IBS-D. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown great potential to mitigate gastrointestinal symptoms and improve the quality of life with its holistic view and treatment based on syndrome differentiation. Studies have shown that TCM treats IBS-D by regulating the 5-HT signaling pathway. With a focus on syndrome differentiation in TCM, this paper systematically describes the efficacy and mechanism of TCM in treating different TCM syndromes of IBS-D via the 5-HT signaling pathway, aiming to provide a scientific basis for TCM treatment of this disease.

ABSTRACT

The clinical decision support system can provide medical staff with targeted patient diagnosis, treatment and care plan according to the recommendations of the guidelines, and assist medical staff to make clinical decisions. However, the adherence to clinical decision support system which based on guidelines was poor in clinical practice. Therefore, this article reviewed the influence factors of adherence to clinical decision support system which based on guideline from four aspects: system factors, individual factors, organizational factors and environmental factors, so as to improve the hindering factors and promote the application of clinical decision support system which based on guideline in future research and clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the effect of Lulong Zaisheng Decoction II on chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression in nude mice bearing colorectal cancer. Methods Male BALB/C nude mice were inoculated with human colon cancer cell HT-29 under the armpit. The tumor bearing nude mice were randomly divided into five groups: control group, chemotherapy group, positive drug group, Lulong Zaisheng Decoction II groups with high and low doses. The mice were given drugs by gavage once a day for 10 consecutive days. From the fourth day of the experiment, except for the control group, the nude mice were intraperitoneally injected with 5-FU at dose of 25 mg • kg

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the clinical phenotypes, genetic characteristics, and pathological features of children with disorders of sex development (DSD).@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was conducted on epidemiological, clinical phenotype, chromosomal karyotype, gonadal pathology, and genotype data of 165 hospitalized children with DSD at Children's Hospital of Hebei Province and Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from August 2008 to December 2022.@*RESULTS@#Among the 165 children with DSD, common presenting symptoms were short stature (62/165, 37.6%), clitoromegaly (33/165, 20.0%), cryptorchidism (28/165, 17.0%), hypospadias (24/165, 14.5%), and skin pigmentation abnormalities/exteriorized pigmented labia majora (19/165, 11.5%). Chromosomal karyotype analysis was performed on 127 cases, revealing 36 cases (28.3%) of 46,XX DSD, 34 cases (26.8%) of 46,XY DSD, and 57 cases (44.9%) of sex chromosome abnormalities. Among the sex chromosome abnormal karyotypes, the 45,X karyotype (11/57, 19%) and 45,X/other karyotype mosaicism (36/57, 63%) were more common. Sixteen children underwent histopathological biopsy of gonadal tissues, resulting in retrieval of 25 gonadal tissues. The gonadal tissue biopsies revealed 3 cases of testes, 3 cases of dysplastic testes, 6 cases of ovaries, 11 cases of ovotestes, and 1 case each of streak gonad and agenesis of gonads. Genetic testing identified pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in 23 cases (23/36, 64%), including 12 cases of 21-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia caused by CYP21A2 pathogenic variants.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Short stature, clitoromegaly, cryptorchidism, hypospadias, and skin pigmentation abnormalities are common phenotypes in children with DSD. 45,X/other karyotype mosaicism and CYP21A2 compound heterozygous variants are major etiological factors in children with DSD. The most commonly observed gonadal histopathology in children with DSD includes ovotestes, ovaries, and testes/dysgenetic testes.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by herpes zoster in patients and investigate the correlation between the two.Methods:The clinical data of 58 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by herpes zoster who received treatment in Department of Dermatology, The Second People's Hospital of Hefei (Hefei Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University) from January 2020 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:All 58 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by herpes zoster were over the age of 70 years. The average length of hospital stay was (11.78 ± 3.63) days. Among these patients, three developed disseminated herpes zoster, while twenty-three developed postherpetic neuralgia. The average glycated hemoglobin level of the patients was (7.92 ± 1.51)%, all of which were higher than the normal range.Conclusion:The poor control of blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus may increase the risk of herpes zoster. The duration of hospital stay after herpes zoster development is long, and the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia is high.
