ABSTRACT

Breast cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence among women in China, and axillary lymph node metastasis is one of the main metastatic pathways of breast cancer. Early detection and accurate assessment of axillary lymph node metastasis has great significance in guiding treatment and judging prognosis. Currently, imaging techniques are widely used in the diagnosis of breast diseases. Ultrasound, as a commonly used clinical imaging method, has become the preferred method for breast cancer lymph node assessment because of its low price, simple operation and multiple testing. This article review the current status of research on the commonly used ultrasound assessment of axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT

Bupleuri Radix is commonly used in the traditional Chinese medicine, and saikosaponins are the important active ingredients. In this study, we first established a relative quantitative method for 25 saikosaponins using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTrap-MS) in the scheduled multiple reaction monitoring (sMRM) mode. The established method showed good intra-day and intra-day precision, linearity, repeatability and stability. Then the method was applied to compare 37 batches of Bupleuri Radix from different planting areas. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the saikosaponins composition of Bupleuri Radix from different planting areas in Shanxi Province, which indicating that Bupleuri Radix is well adapted to the environment, so it is suitable for widely planting. However, Bupleuri Radix harvested at spring and autumn were differed from those harvested at summer, which indicated that the traditional harvesting experience was reasonable. Correlation analysis showed that saikosaponins a and d were positively correlated with some saponins, and 4 saponins (such as clinoposaponin XII) showed bigger content variation were identified by coefficient of variation analysis. The LC-MS based pseudotargeted metabonomic method established in this study can be applied to the comprehensive detection of saikosaponins, which providing new method for the quality evaluation of Bupleuri Radix.

ABSTRACT

Giant axonal neuropathy is a rare neurodegenerative disease in children, which is autosomal recessive inheritance. Giant axonal neuropathy is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the gigaxonin gene on chromosome 16q23.2. Giant axonal neuropathy is a chronic polyneuropathy that affects both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Axonal loss and the presence of giant axonal swellings filled with neurofilaments on nerve biopsy are the pathologic hallmark of this neurodegenerative disorder. The article describes the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of giant axonal neuropathy, to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations, electrophysiological, muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), pathological, and genetic characteristics of 8 patients with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) to improve the recognition and diagnosis of EDMD.Methods:Eight patients with EDMD confirmed by gene analysis admitted to Hebei Medical University Third Hospital from 2011 to 2022 were enrolled. The detailed clinical symptoms, neurophysiological examination, electrophysiological changes (electromyography and electrocardiography), skeletal muscle MRI characters, skeletal muscle pathological features and gene mutations were analyzed retrospectively.Results:The age of onset ranged from 2.0 to 6.0 (3.6±1.2) years. All patients had insidious onset and progressive development. Muscle weakness was the first symptom for 7 cases that manifested as difficulty in squatting and walking up stairs. Later, spinal ankylosis and joint contracture occurred. One patient had scoliosis as the first symptoms. Abnormal electrocardiogram was found in 4 cases. The electromyography of all patients showed myogenic damage. Muscle biopsy demonstrated dystrophic features in 1 patient, and other myopathic features, including a variation in muscle fiber size, a marked increase in internal nuclei, and, smaller diameter of typeⅠfibers. Next-generation sequencing result showed that 6/8 cases carried 4 LMNA heterozygous mutations (c.1583C>G, c.1357C>T, c.148C>T, c.1336A>G); 1/8 case carried EMD hemizygous mutation (c.501C>G); 1/8 carried SYNE1 heterozygous mutation (c.4364G>A). Conclusions:EDMD has highly clinical and genetical heterogeneity. The onset age is usually in childhood. The first symptom is characterized by weakness of lower limbs and abnormal walking posture. Electromyography shows myogenic lesion. Skeletal muscle MRI shows selective fat infiltrations. Muscle biopsy pathology lacks characteristic pathological findings. It is difficult to make diagnosis and differential diagnosis by clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination in the early stage of the disease. The second generation sequencing technology can improve the early diagnosis rate of EDMD.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To provide evidence for the selection of fixation devices and CTV to PTV margins (M ptv) in precision radiotherapy for pelvic tumors by analyzing three fixation devices in precision radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Methods:From April 2015 to December 2020, 133 prostate cancer patients treated with pelvic drainage area irradiation in our center were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were fixed with 1.2m vacuum bag (n=39), 1.8m vacuum bag (n=44) and personalized prone plate by our center (n=50). Each patient was asked to complete our bowel and bladder preparation process before positioning and radiotherapy. The registration of CBCT to planned CT before each treatment adopted the same registration box and algorithm. Setup errors in the SI, LR and AP directions under qualified bowel and bladder conditions were recorded. Setup errors in three directions under three fixation devices and corresponding M ptv values were analyzed. The correlation between setup errors with age and body mass index (BMI) was analyzed. Results:Analysis of 3333 setup errors data showed: in the SI and LR directions, the mean setup errors of 1.2m vacuum bag (3.26mm, 2.34mm) were greater than those of 1.8m vacuum bag (2.51mm, P<0.001; 1.90mm, P<0.001), and personalized prone plate (3.07mm, P=0.066; 2.10 mm, P=0.009). In the AP direction, the mean setup errors of 1.2m vacuum bag (supine)(2.20mm) were smaller than those of 1.8m vacuum bag (3.33mm, P<0.001) and personalized prone plate (3.61mm, P<0.001). The setup errors of 1.8m vacuum bag in all directions were smaller than those of personalized prone plate (P≤0.028). According to Van Herk's expansion formula, the M ptv of 1.2m vacuum bag in three directions was approximately 4 mm. The M ptv of 1.8m vacuum bag and personalized prone plate in the SI and LR directions was approximately 3 mm, and more than 5 mm in the AP direction. The setup errors were not correlated with age or BMI. Conclusions:From the setup errors results of three devices, 1.8m vacuum bag is the best, followed by personalized prone plate. And supine position is better than prone position in the AP direction.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical feasibility of the Unity radiotherapy system guided by magnetic resonance imaging.Methods:Twenty-four patients were enrolled and received a total of 384 fractions of treatment at Unity system. According to the treatment site, all patients were divided into head-neck, abdomen-thorax, pelvic, spine and limb groups. The patients were set-up without external laser. And then, the time required at different stages in online treatment process and the registration error of each fraction were separately calculated. The geometric deformations of MR images were weekly measured by using MR geometric deformation phantom. At last, the Arccheck was used to perform the dose verification of reference plan, online plan and offline plan.Results:The mean duration of radiotherapy in the five groups were 29.1, 27.6, 26.6, 25.6 and 32.0 min, respectively. The set-up errors in the left-right, superior-inferior and anterior-posterior direction in the five groups were: head-neck group (0.08±0.06 cm, 0.16±0.13 cm, 0.08±0.05 cm), abdomen-thorax group (0.23±0.18 cm, 0.50±0.47 cm, 0.12±0.1 cm), pelvic group (0.25±0.19 cm, 0.32±0.25 cm, 0.11±0.09 cm), spine group (0.46±0.38 cm, 0.26±0.26 cm, 0.13±0.07 cm) and limb group (0.33±0.30 cm, 0.34±0.23 cm, 0.08±0.06 cm), respectively. In the central region, the geometric deformation of MR was less than 0.3 mm, and that of the sphere with a diameter of 500 mm was less than 2.1 mm. The meanγ pass rate of the reference plan, online plan and offline plan were 97.92%, 97.84% and 94.58%, respectively.Conclusions:MR-guided radiotherapy has great potential for clinical application, whereas the process of Unity system is relatively complex. The synergy of different departments has a great impact on the treatment, which needs further optimization.

ABSTRACT

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide and has high mortality and recurrence rates and low survival rates. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of single-stranded closed circular RNA molecules with tissue- and development-specific expression and play a regulatory role in organisms. These circRNAs regulate the progression of HCC by acting as miRNA sponges and targeted protein-coding genes, but the basic mechanism is still unclear. This article summarizes the formation mechanism and biological functions of circRNAs, reviews the research advances in the role of circRNAs in the pathogenesis of HCC, and points out their potential value as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for HCC.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the preventive effect of total flavonoids from Nymphaea candida (NCTF) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats. Methods: Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, NCTF groups (50, 100, 200 mg/kg) and colchicine group (0.2 mg/kg). Rats were subcutaneously injected with 50% CCl4 peanut oil solution (0.1 mL/100g, twice a week for 12 weeks) to induce hepatic fibrosis. In addition to control and model group given with 0.5% CMC-Na, the other groups were intragastrically administered with drugs (1.0 mL/100 g, once a day for 12 weeks), all rats were put to death. Blood, hepatic and splenic tissue were collected to detect liver indexes. Pathological histology observation by Masson and HE staining were performed for other hepatic tissues. The expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in hepatic tissue was analyzed by immunohistochemical technique. The levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and nitric oxide (NO) were determined by automatic biochemical analyzer. The levels of serum laminin (LN), type III procollagen (PCIII), type IV collagen (CIV), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay assay (ELISA). Serum hyaluronic acid (HA) was detected by radioimmunoassay. Hepatic tissue hydroxyproline (Hyp) was measured by spectrophotometric method. Result Compared with the control group, the rats showed energielos, liver and spleen index of those were increased, as well as inflammatory cell infiltration and obvious fibrosis of hepatic tissue were appeared in the model group; The levels of ALT, AST, ALP, HA, LN, PCIII, CIV, MDA, NO, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in serum in model group were increased significantly (P < 0.05, 0.01); The levels of TP, ALB, GSH and SOD in serum were decreased significantly (P < 0.01); The expressions of α-SMA and Hyp in hepatic tissue were significantly improved (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, MDA, NO in serum in NCTF group were significantly reduced (P < 0.05, 0.01); The levels of HA, LN, PC III, CIV, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly reduced (P < 0.05, 0.01); The levels of TP, ALB, GSH and SOD were significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.01); The expressions of α-SMA and Hyp in hepatic tissue were significantly reduced (P < 0.05, 0.01). Compared with the model group, the pathological damage of hepatic tissue was significantly improved, the degeneration and necrosis of liver cells in rat were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusion: NCTF has a better anti-hepatic fibrosis effect, its mechanism is related to antioxidant, regulation of collagen synthesis and inhibition of the proinflammatory factors expression.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#The present study aims at determining the stability of a popular type 2 diabetes rat model induced by a high-fat diet combined with a low-dose streptozotocin injection.@*METHODS@#Wistar rats were fed with a high-fat diet for 8 weeks followed by a one-time injection of 25 or 35 mg/kg streptozotocin to induce type 2 diabetes. Then the diabetic rats were fed with regular diet/high-fat diet for 4 weeks. Changes in biochemical parameters were monitored during the 4 weeks.@*RESULTS@#All the rats developed more severe dyslipidemia and hepatic dysfunction after streptozotocin injection. The features of 35 mg/kg streptozotocin rats more resembled type 1 diabetes with decreased body weight and blood insulin. Rats with 25 mg/kg streptozotocin followed by normal diet feeding showed normalized blood glucose level and pancreatic structure, indicating that normal diet might help recovery from certain symptoms of type 2 diabetes. In comparison, diabetic rats fed with high-fat diet presented decreased but relatively stable blood glucose level, and this was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#This model easily recovers with normal diet feeding. A high-fat diet is suggested as the background diet in future pharmacological studies using this model.

Objective To discuss the value of early prediction and evaluation using ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (US-guided DOT) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) for breast cancer.Methods Sixty-two primary breast cancer patients were included.Before every neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery,the total hemoglobin concentration(Hb) was measured by US-guided DOT.According to the RECIST 1.1 standard,62 patients were divided into partial response (PR) group,complete response (CR) group,progressive disease(PD) group and stable disease(SD) group.According to the Miller and Payne (MP) grading system,the patients were divided into poor efficacy group(MP grade 1-3) and the effect of excellent group (MP grade 4-5).According to the postoperative pathological results,patients were divided into pathologic complete response(pCR) group and non pCR group.Hb with imaging and postoperative pathological results were analyzed.Results All of the 62 patients finished the NCT.After first cycle of chemotherapy and all chemotherapy,the value of Hb in the above groups had different degrees of decline,and the difference among the groups was statistically significant(P <0.001).When the descending value of Hb was 44.5 as the threshold for early prediction of NCT efficiency,the area under the curve of ROC (Az) was 0.745,and the sensitivity was 75.0%,specificity was 73.1%,positive predictive value was 79.4%,negative predictive value was 67.9%,and accuracy was 74.2%,respectively.Conclusions In the process of neoadjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer,the decrease of Hb value is positively related to the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy.The change of Hb value can predict and evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the early time.

ABSTRACT

AIM To investigate the therapeutic action and mechanism of Shuwei Decoction (Bupleuri Radix,Cyperi Rhizoma,Atractylodis macrocephalae Rhizoma,etc.) on functional dyspepsia (FD) from the perspectives of autophagy and intercellular gap junction pathway through its impact on the expressions of Beclin-1,mTOR,Cx43 protein and mRNA in gastric antrum pyloric smooth muscle cells of FD model rats.METHODS Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into control (blank) group,model group,mosapride group (1.37 mg/kg),low,medium and high dose Shuwei Decoction groups (7.67 g/kg,15.34 g/kg,30.68 g/kg,respectively).FD model rats were prepared according to compound etiological modeling method for 21 days.On the first day after modeling,the rats in each group were given the corresponding medicine for intragastric administration once a day for 14 days.Two hours after the last administration,we procured gastric antrum and pyloric tissues from the sacrificed rats.The expressions of Beclin-1,mTOR and Cx43 protein were detected by Western blot,and so were the expressions of Beclin-1,mTOR and Cx43 mRNA by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR).RESULTS We observed decreased expression of Beclin-1 protein in low,medium and high dose Shuwei Decoction groups (P < 0.01),and an increased expression of Cx43 protein in high dose Shuwei Decoction group (P < 0.05).In medium and high dose Shuwei Decoction groups,decreased expression of Beclin-1 mRNA (P < 0.01),and increased expression of mTOR and Cx43 mRNA (P < 0.01) were detected as well.CONCLUSION Shuwei Decoction can improve FD by suppressing cell autophagy and enhancing the function of gap junction through up-regulating the expression of mTOR mRNA and Cx43 protein and mRNA,and down-regulating the expression of Beclin-1 protein and mRNA.
