ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the safety and clinical efficacy of lesion removal combined with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation with classical posterior lesion removal in the treatment of lumbar brucelli spondylitis(LBS)by unilateral biportal endoscopic technique with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(UBE-LIF)technique.Methods The clinical data of 32 patients with LBS admitted by the Department of Spine and Orthopedics of Gansu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and the clinical data of the 32 LBS patients were divided into 15 cases in the UBE-LIF group and 17 cases in the posterior group.The general data,surgery-related indexes,and postoperative pathological HE staining of the two groups were recorded and analyzed.The patients'clinical recovery was assessed according to their erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and C-reactive protein(CRP),low back pain visual analogue score(VAS),Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)score,and Oswestry Dysfunction Index(ODI)preoperative,1 week after surgery,1,3,6 months and 1 year after surgery.Lumbar lordosis angle(LL)and intervertebral space height(DH)were measured by imaging before surgery and at the last follow-up,and intervertebral bone graft fusion was assessed using Suk grading criteria.Results Both groups successfully completed the operation and no serious postoperative complications occurred.There were no significant differences in gender,age,surgical segment,operation time,preoperative ESR and CRP,preoperative VAS,JOA score and ODI index,preoperative LL and DH(P>0.05).The intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage,postoperative getting out of bed,and postoperative hospital stay in UBE-LIF group were significantly lower than those in the posterior group(P<0.001).Pathological examination of diseased tissues was performed during surgery,all of which was consistent with brucellosis changes.Patients in both groups were followed up for 12-18 months,with an average of 14.8 months.The VAS,JOA score,and ODI index at all postoperative time points in the two groups were significantly improved compared with the preoperative period(P<0.05).The difference between the two groups was significantly greater than that in the postoperative group:VAS score was lower in UBE-LIF group than in the posterior group(P<0.01),CRP in both groups was higher than that in the preoperative group,and the elevation level was significantly lower in UBE-LIF group than in the posterior group(P<0.001).There was no significant difference in ESR between the two groups compared with that before surgery(P>0.05).There were no significant differences in VAS,JOA score,ODI index,CRP or ESR between the remaining time points after surgery(P>0.05).At the last follow-up,imaging examination showed that the overall fusion rate of intervertebral bone graft in UBE-LIF group was 93.3%and 94.1%in the posterior group,without significant difference(x2=0.246,P=0.884).LL and DH were significantly improved in both groups compared with preoperative ones(P<0.01),and the two groups did not significantly differ before and after surgery(P>0.05).Conclusion Both surgical treatments for LBS are safe effect.Compared with posterior lesion removal bone graft fusion internal fixation,UBE-LIF technology combined with percutaneous pedicle screw internal fixation has the advantages of clear intraoperative vision,less blood loss,faster early postoperative recovery,and shorter postoperative hospital stay,and thus is a feasible surgical method for the minimally invasive treatment of LBS.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the clinical effect of balloon compression closure kyphoplasty in the treatment of fresh single-segment vertebral compression fracture.Methods:A retrospective study was used to analyze the clinical data of 80 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) admitted to Gansu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2019 to June 2021. They were divided into two groups according to the surgical methods: the simple percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) group and the percutaneous kyphoplasty compression group, with 40 patients in each group. The PKP group was routinely treated with PKP, and the PKP compression group was treated with balloon compression occlusion technology on the basis of the PKP group. The amount of bone cement injected, the leakage of bone cement, the height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebra, the Cobb angle of kyphosis, the visual analogue score (VAS) and the Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) were compared between the two groups. The measurement data conforming to the normal distribution were expressed as ( ± s), and the comparison between the two groups was conducted by t-test; The counting data were expressed by n(%) and the comparison between the two groups adopts Chi-square or Fisher exact probability. Results:The amount of bone cement injected and the leakage rate of bone cement in the PKP compression group were significantly higher than those in the simple PKP group ( P<0.05). The height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebra in the two groups was significantly higher than that before the operation on the first day and three months after the operation ( P<0.05). The Cobb angle, VAS score and ODI index of the injured vertebra in the two groups were significantly lower than that before the operation on the first day and three months after the operation ( P<0.05). The height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebra in the PKP compression group was significantly higher than that in the PKP group ( P<0.05). The Cobb angle of kyphosis in the PKP compression group was significantly lower than that in the simple PKP group at 1 day and 3 months after operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS score between PKP compression group and PKP group on 1 day after operation ( P>0.05), and compared with PKP group on 3 months after operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the ODI index between the PKP compression group and the two groups 1 day and 3 months after PKP ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Balloon compression closure technology can significantly reduce the leakage of bone cement in PKP and increase the amount of bone cement injected, which is beneficial to reduce the pain of vertebral body and improve the function of OVCF patients, and can improve the clinical treatment effect, which is worth promoting.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and structural and functional cardiac changes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF)complicated with atrial fibrillation(AF)in elderly patients.Methods:As a cross-sectional study, 835 patients with HFpEF aged ≥60 years admitted to the Department of Geriatric Cardiovascular Medicine of the First Hospital of Lanzhou University between April 2009 and December 2020 were divided into an HFpEF+ AF group(267 cases)and an HFpEF group(568 cases)according to whether they had AF in addition to HFpEF, and their cardiac structure and function were evaluated.The optimal cutoff point of the ratio of the peak early diastolic velocity(E)to the maximum early diastolic velocity(e')of the mitral annulus(E/e')was analysed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The HFpEF+ AF group was divided into two subgroups, E/e'>11 and E/e'≤11, and differences in their clinical presentation, cardiac structural and function, and the relationship between the left and right heart were compared.Results:Compared with the HFpEF group, the left atrial volume index(LAVi)was larger[(60.0±23.3)ml/m 2vs.(43.9±19.0)ml/m 2, t=10.130, P<0.01]and the left ventricular ejection fraction(EF), mitral annular septal systolic velocity(s' S)and E/e' were smaller than in the HFpEF+ AF group(all P<0.01), whereas the right ventricular diameter(RVD), right atrial diameter(RAD)and area(RAA), tricuspid regurgitation velocity(TRv), and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure(PASP)in the HFpEF+ AF group were all greater than those in the HFpEF group(all P<0.05).In the E/e'>11 subgroup of HFpEF+ AF, the prevalence of hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes were higher, AF courses were shorter, and the decline of s' was more severe(all P<0.05).Furthermore, E/e' was independently correlated with LAVi, as was LAVi with PASP( t=2.114, 1.963, P=0.034, 0.042).The above-mentioned features were similar to those in the HFpEF group.The E/e'≤11 subgroup had a higher proportion of women, longer duration of AF than the E/e'>11 subgroup(median: 5 years vs.1 year, P=0.003), more noticeable enlargement of the right ventricle and right atrium, higher TRv and PASP( P<0.05). Conclusions:In elderly patients with HFpEF complicated with AF, the left atrial volume is increased further, and left ventricular systolic function and right heart morphology show serious deterioration, suggesting there might be two phenotypes of HFpEF+ AF with different pathophysiological mechanisms.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Qifu Yixin prescription in treating chronic heart failure in the patients with the syndrome of heart Qi deficiency, so as to provide clinical evidence for the treatment of chronic heart failure with this prescription and promote the clinical application and transformation of this prescription. MethodA total of 106 chronic heart failure patients with the syndrome of heart Qi deficiency who met the criteria in Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from September 2022 to May 2023 were selected and randomized into an observation group (53 cases) and a control group (53 cases). Both groups received routine Western medicine treatment. In addition, the observation group received Qifu Yixin prescription, while the control group received placebo. The treatment course for both groups was 12 weeks. The New York heart association (NYHA) cardiac function grading, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), soluble growth-stimulating expression gene 2 (sST2), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the ratio of early diastolic maximum mitral flow velocity (E) to early diastolic mitral annular motion velocity (e') (E/e'), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), TCM syndrome scores, 6-minute walking test (6MWT), Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) were determined before and after treatment. ResultFinally, 102 patients were included for analysis, including 51 patients in the observation group and 51 patients in the control group. After treatment, 42 patients in the observation group showed improved cardiac function grading, with a total response rate of 82.35%, and 32 patients in the control group showed improved cardiac function grading, with a total response rate of 62.75%. The total response rate regarding the cardiac function in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (χ2=4.923, P<0.05). The observation group outperformed the control group in lowering the NT-proBNP level, elevating LVEF, decreasing the E/e' ratio (P<0.05), reducing LVEDD and sST2 levels, and recovering TCM syndrome score, 6MWT score, MLHFQ score, and KCCQ score (P<0.05). None of the safety indexes in the two groups showed abnormal values before and after treatment, and no serious adverse reaction was observed. ConclusionQifu Yixin prescription can improve the heart function, exercise tolerance, and quality of life and alleviate the TCM syndrome of the chronic heart failure patients with the syndrome of heart Qi deficiency by inhibiting myocardial fibrosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of surgical treatment of elderly patients with type A aortic dissection(TAAD).Methods:A retrospective study including 139 elderly patients(age≥60 years) with TAAD between August 2016 to August 2018 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital was performed. There were 90 male patients(64.7%) and 49 female patients(35.3%), aged 60-80(65.1±3.8)years. All patients completed the necessary preoperative examination, 123 patients underwent emergency surgery and the other 16 patients underwent elective surgery. Deep hypothermia circulatory arrest(DHCA) and selective cerebral perfusion(SCP) were used in arch surgery. The root surgery was divided into Bentall, Wheat, David and ascending aorta replacement and the arch surgery was divided into partial aortic arch replacement, classic Sun's procedure, and modified Sun's procedure. Bypass surgery was done when pressure difference(≥40 mmHg, 5.33 kPa) between upper and lower extremities existed. Other combined heart diseases were treated at the same time.Results:Operative mortality rate was 5.0%(7 cases), 5 case(3.6%)with multiple organ dystuaction syndrome, 1 case(0.7%)with respiratory failure and 1 case(0.7%) with heart failure. The postoperative complications were hypoxemia(12.2%), neurological complications(10.8%), acute kidney injury(13.7%).Conclusion:Surgical treatment is the first choice for aged patients with TAAD and individualized treatment is safe and effective.

ABSTRACT

MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in viral diseases by regulating post-transcriptional gene expression. MiRNA can affect the replication and gene expression of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in host cells, while HBV can regulate the expression of host miRNA to provide a favorable environment for its own survival and replication. This miRNA-mediated relationship between HBV and host is an important basis for the pathogenesis of HBV infection-related diseases. This article reviews the research advances in the role of miRNA in HBV infection-related chronic hepatitis B, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Heart failure (HF) is the end stage of a variety of heart diseases,with poor clinical outcome, high mortality, and an increasing incidence year by year. It is one of the most important cardiovascular diseases. Almost half of patients with heart failure have normal ejection fraction (EF),which we call heart failure with preserved ejection fraction ( HFpEF) . The incidence of HFpEF in developed countries continues to rise, which is considered to be a common danger factor,including the elder,female,and patients with hypertension, metabolic syndrome,renal dysfunction and obesity. A large number of clinical studies from home and abroad show that chronic kidney disease (CKD) will aggravate or promote the occurrence and development of HFpEF through the reaction of microvascular and vascular inflammation,nerve system activity,cardiac structure change,calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorder and so on,and the glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR) and proteinuria are closely related to the prognosis of HFpEF in CKD. To clarify the influence of CKD on HFpEF and its related mechanisms,it is of certain value to assess the condition of HFpEF and to further treat it.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx) on autotaxin (ATX) expression and its significance. Methods The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector of HBx ,pcD-NA3.1(+)-HBx,and the recombinant luciferase reporter gene vector of ATX promoter,pGL3-ATX,were con-structed and used to co-transfect HepG2 cells to examine the effect of HBx on the activity of ATX promoter. The sta-ble cell expressing HBx,HepG2.HBx,was constructed,and Western blot(WB)was used to detect the effect of HBx on ATX expression. Results The luciferase activity of pcDNA3.1(+)-HBx and pGL3-ATX group was 1.47 times as that of the empty vector cDNA3.1(+)and pGL3-ATX group(P<0.000). WB detection showed that the expression of ATX protein was increased in HepG2.HBx cells,and 1.75 times as that of HepG2 cells(P<0.05). Conclusion HBx can activate ATX promoter and up-regulate ATX expression ,thus suggests that HBV infection might enhance ATX/LPA signaling.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the changes of right heart structure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A total of 194 T2DM patients were recruited in our research including those complicated with hypertension (HP). The patients were divided into 2 groups: T2DM+HP group and T2DM group,n=97 in each group. In addition, there was a Control group composed by 97 healthy subjects from regular physical examination at the same period of time. Right heart structure was assessed and compared by echocardiography in all participants. Results: The pulmonary artery diameter (PAD), right atrial short axis diameter (RA-D1), right atrial long axis diameter (RA-D2) and right atrial area (RAA) were different among 3 groups, allP<0.05. Right ventricular (RV) basal diameter (RV-D1) and RV out flow tract diameter (RVOT1) were similar among different groups,P=0.066 andP=0.059. Compare with Control group, T2DM+HP group had increased RA-D1, RA-D2, RAA and PAD, allP<0.05, while right ventricular free wall thickness was similar between 2 groups; T2DM group showed increased PAD,P<0.05, while RA-D2 was similar,P=0.061. Linear correlation analysis indicated that RV-D1, RVOT1, PA, RA-D1, RA-D2 and RAA were positively related to BMI (r=0.123-0.380) and waist-to-hip ratio (r=0.136-0.325), allP<0.05; RA-D2 and RAA were positively related to natural logarithm of urinary albumin excretion rate (lnUAER) (r=0.172 andr=0.130),P<0.05; PAD was positively related to diastolic blood pressure and E/E' (r=0.154 andr=0.172), negatively related E/A (r=-0.118),P<0.05. Multi regression analysis presented that gender and BMI were independently related to RV-D1, RVOT1, RA-D1, RA-D2 and RAA; BMI and diastolic blood pressure were independently related to PAD; lnUAER was independently related to RAA. Conclusion: T2DM+HP patients had broadened PA and RV basal part, increased RA-D and RAA; the changes of right heart structure were relatively mild in T2DM patients. Elevated blood pressure, BMI and UAER were closely related to the changes of right heart structure in T2DM patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the TCM syndrome distribution and the laws of blood pressure variability in patients with primary hypertension.Methods Totally 443 patients with primary hypertension were selected; four diagnostic data were collected to conduct syndrome differentiation (main syndrome was chosen for compound syndrome); 24 h ambulatory blood pressure was monitored and blood pressure variability of each syndrome was compared.Results Among 443 cases of patients, liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome (157 cases) > qi yin deficiency syndrome (83 cases) > yang deficiency syndrome (76 cases) > phlegm dampness syndrome (65 cases) > liver yang hyperactivity syndrome (62 cases). There was statistical significance in ages of different syndromes, but there was no statistical significance in gender, family history and course of disease (P>0.05). Compared with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome, 24 h systolic blood pressure and 24 h mean blood pressure of phlegm dampness syndrome were significantly different (P<0.05); circadian rhythm abnormality rates of liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome, liver yang hyperactivity syndrome, qi yin deficiency syndrome, phlegm dampness syndrome and yang deficiency syndrome were 80.85% (38/47), 66.67% (14/21) ,81.48% (22/27), 86.96% (20/23), and 78.79% (26/33), respectively, without statistical significance in different syndromes (χ2=3.031,P=0.553).Conclusion Among the 443 hypertensive patients, patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome were the most, and patients with liveryang hyperactivity syndrome were the least. Phlegm dampness syndrome has the highest blood pressure, while liveryang hyperactivity syndrome has the lowest blood pressure. Patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome are with the highest blood pressure variability, while patients with qi yin deficiency syndrome are with the lowest blood pressure variability.

ABSTRACT

Objective To determine the effectiveness and safety of patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy ( SBRT ) - CyberKnife for small hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods A prospective analysis of treatment details and outcomes for 33 patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma treated by CyberKnife at CyberKnife center of Shanghai Changhai Hospital from June 2014 to December 2016 was presented. Patients were followed every 3 months. WHO modified response evaluation criteria in solid Tumors( mRECIST) was used to evaluate efficacy, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4. 0(CTCAE 4. 0) to evaluate treatment response, Kaplan-Meier method to calculate survival rate and local control rate and plot survival curves. Results There were 33 patients, 33 targets included in the study at the date of the last follow-up. 18 lesions (54. 5%) showed complete remission response, 7 lesions (21. 2%) showed partial remission response, 5 lesions (15. 2%) showed stable, and 3 lesions (9. 1%) progressed. Response rate was 75. 8%, and disease control rate was 90. 9%. 1- and 2-year local control rate was 100% and 83. 6%, respectively. The median disease progression free survival ( DPFS) was 15. 0 months. Non irradiated liver volume more than 100 ml, prior AFP less than 100 ng/ml, post-treatment CTCAE less than grade 2 could improve overall survival ( OS ) . V5 was a factor in grades 2 -4 hepatic toxicity ( P=0. 015 ) . All patients tolerated the radiosurgery, with grade 1 and grade 2 fatigue, and the gastrointestinal reactions and liver injury was the main side effect. 1 patient with grade 3 liver damage relieved at 6 months after treatment and 1 patient with grade 4 liver damage cured at 12 months after treatment. No grade 5 toxicity was encountered. Conclusions CyberKnife seems to be a safe and effective treatment measure with tolerated adverse reaction and good local control rate for patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the trans‐regulative effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) preS2 on the promoter of human acyl protein thioesterase 1 (APT1) gene .Methods The promoter sequence of human APT1 gene was identified applying the soft‐ware of bioinformatics .The APT1 promoter and HBV preS2 gene were amplified with PCR and cloned into pGL3 and pcDNA3 .1 (-) plasmids to construct the luciferase reporter gene plasmid of human APT1 gene promoter pGL3‐APT1 and the preS2 eukary‐otic expression plasmid pcDNA3 .1(-)‐preS2 ,respectively .The effect of the preS2 on the human APT1 gene promoter was exam‐ined by cotransfecting hepatocellular carcinoma cell HepG2 with pGL3‐APT1 and pcDNA3 .1(-)‐preS2 and measuring luciferase activities of the HepG2 cells .The statistical data were analyzed with independent‐samples t test .Results Both plasmids of pGL3‐APT1 and pcDNA3 .1(-)‐preS2 were confirmed by DNA sequencing to be accurately constructed as design .The luciferase activity of the pGL3‐APT1 was 1 .2 times (P<0 .01) that of the positive control plasmid pGL3‐Control .And the luciferase activity of the HepG2 cells cotransfected with pcDNA3 .1(-)‐preS2 and pGL3‐APT1 was 2 .6 times (P<0 .01) that of the HepG2 cells cotrans‐fected with the plasmid without preS2 gene pcDNA3 .1(-) and pGL3‐APT1 .Conclusion The human APT1 promoter cloned in the study has high promoter activity ;HBV preS2 activates human APT1 promoter .
