ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives To investigate the impact of Three-Dimensional (3D) laparoscopy compared to traditional laparotomy on serum tumor markers and coagulation function in patients diagnosed with early-stage Endometrial Cancer (EC). Method The authors retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 75 patients diagnosed with early-stage EC and categorized them into two groups based on the surgical techniques employed. The 3D group consisted of 36 patients who underwent 3D laparoscopic surgery, while the Laparotomy group comprised 39 patients who underwent traditional laparotomy. The authors then compared the alterations in serum tumor markers and coagulation function between the two groups. Results Postoperatively, serum levels of CA125, CA199, and HE4 were notably reduced in both groups on the third day, with the levels being more diminished in the 3D group than in the Laparotomy Group (p < 0.05). Conversely, FIB levels escalated significantly in both groups on the third-day post-surgery, with a more pronounced increase in the 3D group. Additionally, PT and APTT durations were reduced and were more so in the 3D group than in the laparotomy group (p < 0.05). Conclusions When juxtaposed with traditional laparotomy, 3D laparoscopic surgery for early-stage EC appears to be more efficacious, characterized by reduced complications, and expedited recovery. It can effectively mitigate serum tumor marker levels, attenuate the inflammatory response and damage to immune function, foster urinary function recovery, and enhance the quality of life. However, it exerts a more significant influence on the patient's coagulation parameters, necessitating meticulous prevention and treatment strategies for thromboembolic events in clinical settings.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The supplementation of betaine, an osmoprotective compatible solute, in the cultivation media has been widely used to protect bacterial cells. To explore the effects of betaine addition on industrial fermentation, Escherichia coli THRD, an L-threonine producer, was used to examine the production of L-threonine with betaine supplementation and the underlying mechanism through which betaine functions was investigated. RESULTS: Betaine supplementation in the medium of E. coli THRD significantly improved L-threonine fermentation parameters. The transcription of zwf and corresponding enzyme activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were significantly promoted by betaine addition, which contributed to an enhanced expression of zwf that provided more nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) for L-threonine synthesis. In addition, as a result of the betaine addition, the betaine-stimulated expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) under the zwf promoter within a plasmid-based cassette proved to be a transcription-level response of zwf. Finally, the promoter of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene ppc in THRD was replaced with that of zwf, while L-threonine fermentation of the new strain was promoted by betaine addition. Conclusions: We reveal a novel mode of betaine that facilitates the microbial production of useful compounds. Betaine supplementation upregulates the expression of zwf and increases the NADPH synthesis, which may be beneficial for the cell growth and thereby promote the production of L-threonine. This finding might be useful for the production of NADPH-dependent amino acids and derivatives in E. coli THRD or other E. coli strains.

ABSTRACT

The pathological processes of Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus have been demonstrated to be linked together. Both PDE9 inhibitors and PPAR agonists such as rosiglitazone exhibited remarkable preclinical and clinical treatment effects for these two diseases. In this study, a series of PDE9 inhibitors combining the pharmacophore of rosiglitazone were discovered. All the compounds possessed remarkable affinities towards PDE9 and four of them have the IC values <5 nmol/L. In addition, these four compounds showed low cell toxicity in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Compound , the most effective one, gave the IC of 1.1 nmol/L towards PDE9, which is significantly better than the reference compounds PF-04447943 and BAY 73-6691. The analysis of putative binding patterns and binding free energy of the designed compounds with PDE9 may explain the structure-activity relationships and provide evidence for further structural modifications.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the roles of different housing environments in neurological function,cerebral metabolism,cerebral infarction and neuron apoptosis after focal cerebral ischemia.Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group (CG) and cerebral ischemia group,and the latter was further divided into subgroups of different housing conditions:standard environment (SE) subgroup,individual living environment (IE) subgroup,and enriched environment (EE) subgroup.Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).Beam walking test was used to quantify the changes of overall motor function.Cerebral infarction and cerebral metabolism were studied by in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and 1H-magnetic resonance spectra,respectively.Neuron necrosis and apoptosis were detected by hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining methods,respectively.The results showed that performance on the beam-walk test was improved in EE subgroup when compared to SE subgroup and IE subgroup.Cerebral infarct volume in IE subgroup was significantly larger than that in SE subgroup (P<0.05) and EE subgroup (P<0.05) on day 14 after MCAO.NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr ratios were lower in MCAO groups under different housing conditions as compared to those in CG (P<0.05).NAA/Cr ratio was lower in IE subgroup (P<0.05) and higher in EE subgroup (P<0.05) than that in SE subgroup.NAA/Cr ratio in EE was significantly higher than that in IE subgroup (P<0.05).Cho/Cr ratio was decreased in MCAO groups as compared to that in CG (P<0.05).A significant decrease in normal neurons in cerebral cortex was observed in MCAO groups as compared to CG (P<0.05).The amount of normal neurons was less in IE subgroup (P<0.05),and more in EE subgroup (P<0.05) than that in SE subgroup after MCAO.The amount of normal neurons in EE subgroup was significantly more than that in IE subgroup after MCAO (P<0.05).The ratio of TUNEL-positive neurons in EE was significantly lower than that in SE subgroup (P<0.05) and IE subgroup (P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the beam walking test was negatively correlated with NAA/Cr ratio (P<0.05).Cerebral infarct volume was negatively correlated with both NAA/Cr ratio (P<0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P<0.01).The amount of normal cortical neurons was positively correlated with both NAA/Cr ratio (P<0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P<0.05).The TUNEL-positive neurons showed a negative correlation with both NAA/Cr ratio (P<0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P<0.01).This study goes further to show that EE may improve neurological functional deficit and cerebral metabolism,decrease cerebral infarct volume,neuron necrosis and apoptosis,while IE may aggravate brain damage after MCAO.

ABSTRACT

Stroke research and rehabilitation have traditionally focused on the physical and functional impact of a stroke. Less attention has been given to the psychosocial factors associated with this chronic condition. By the few studies that have specifically focused on psychosocial factors in the context of stroke, poststroke depression is demonstrated to significantly influence stroke outcomes. Associations of stroke with psychological symptoms other than depression have rarely been evaluated. This study was aimed to investigate the changes of psychological stress, social support and medication adherence in patients with ischemic stroke in the mainland of China. In this study, 90 patients with hemiplegia one year after first-ever middle cerebral artery infarction (stroke group) in the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from June 2008 to June 2011 were recruited for interview. Ninety age- and sex-matched normal volunteers (control group) were also examined at the same period. The psychological distress was assessed by the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), the social support by the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and medication adherence by Morisky's self-reported inventory, respectively. Group differences were analyzed using unpaired-t test and chi-squared test. The results showed that total mean scores of the SCL-90 in the stroke group were higher than those in the control group (P150 group" were significantly higher than in the "SCL-90 total scores 150 group", 28 (75.67%) patients with medium medication adherence in the "SCL-90 total scores between 100 to 150 group", and 12 (61.16%) patients with low medication adherence in the "SCL-90 total scores <100 group", respectively. There was significant difference in the medication adherence rate among the different SCL-90 scores groups in these stroke patients (P<0.05 or P<0.01). It was led to conclude that ischemic stroke patients one year after hemiplegia have psychological distress, low level of social support and poor medication adherence in the mainland of China. Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize the government, medical institutions and various social support groups to offer psychological interventions to relieve the stress of patients with ischemic stroke, and improve their medication adherence.

Stroke research and rehabilitation have traditionally focused on the physical and functional impact of a stroke. Less attention has been given to the psychosocial factors associated with this chronic condition. By the few studies that have specifically focused on psychosocial factors in the context of stroke, poststroke depression is demonstrated to significantly influence stroke outcomes. Associations of stroke with psychological symptoms other than depression have rarely been evaluated. This study was aimed to investigate the changes of psychological stress, social support and medication adherence in patients with ischemic stroke in the mainland of China. In this study, 90 patients with hemiplegia one year after first-ever middle cerebral artery infarction (stroke group) in the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from June 2008 to June 2011 were recruited for interview. Ninety age- and sex-matched normal volunteers (control group) were also examined at the same period. The psychological distress was assessed by the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), the social support by the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and medication adherence by Morisky's self-reported inventory, respectively. Group differences were analyzed using unpaired-t test and chi-squared test. The results showed that total mean scores of the SCL-90 in the stroke group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.01). Except two dimensions, paranoid ideation and psychoticism, mean scores of the rest dimensions (including somatization, obsession-compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, and phobic anxiety) of SCL-90 were significantly higher in the stroke group than those in the control group (P<0.05, or P<0.01). The objective support, subjective support, support availability and total social support scores in the stroke group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05, or P<0.01). Those in the "SCL-90 total scores >150 group" were significantly higher than in the "SCL-90 total scores <100 group" and the "SCL-90 total scores between 100 to 150 group" (P<0.05, or P<0.01). Those in the "SCL-90 total scores between 100 to 150 group" were significantly higher than in the "SCL-90 total scores <100 group" (P<0.05). In 90 patients with ischemic stroke, 26 (28.89%) patients obtained high medication adherence, 47 (52.22%) patients medium medication adherence, and 17 (18.89%) patients low medication adherence, respectively. Among these stroke patients, there were 17 (50.00%) patients with high medication adherence in the "SCL-90 total scores >150 group", 28 (75.67%) patients with medium medication adherence in the "SCL-90 total scores between 100 to 150 group", and 12 (61.16%) patients with low medication adherence in the "SCL-90 total scores <100 group", respectively. There was significant difference in the medication adherence rate among the different SCL-90 scores groups in these stroke patients (P<0.05 or P<0.01).

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL). Methods Three male patients with clinically diagnosed PAL, aged 59 to 77 years old, were examined by18F-FDG PET/CT before histopathologic examination. The SUVmax ratio of tumor to liver (T/L)was calculated on 18F-FDG PET images. All patients underwent R-CHOP ( rituximab-cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) chemotherapy regimens. One patient had serial follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT post therapy. Results The final diagnosis of all 3 cases was bilateral diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The pathologic results of bone marrow biopsy were negative. Case 1 was in disease remission based on four times of follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT. The patient's clinical follow-up was also negative and he was currently alive for more than 19 months. Case 2 was of late stage and suffered from adrenal insufficiency. He died 6 months after the diagnosis. Case 3 (the eldest patient) was treated with partial excision followed by the chemotherapy. He died of lung infection 12 months after treatment. Conclusion 18 F-FDG PET/CT may be of important value for maximizing patient management and survival for patients with PAL, a rare and highly malignant disease.
