Auditory response of the reticular nucleus of thalamus in awake mice / 生理学报

This study aims to explore the auditory response characteristics of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) in awake mice during auditory information processing, so as to deepen the understanding of TRN and explore its role in the auditory system. By in vivo electrophysiological single cell attached recording of TRN neurons in 18 SPF C57BL/6J mice, we observed the responses of 314 recorded neurons to two kinds of auditory stimuli, noise and tone, applied to mice. The results showed that TRN received projections from layer six of the primary auditory cortex (A1). Among 314 TRN neurons, 56.05% responded silently, 21.02% responded only to noise and 22.93% responded to both noise and tone. The neurons with noise response can be divided into three patterns according to their response time: onset, sustain and long-lasting, accounting for 73.19%, 14.49% and 12.32%, respectively. The response threshold of the sustain pattern neurons was lower than those of the other two types. Under noise stimulation, compared with A1 layer six, TRN neurons showed unstable auditory response (P < 0.001), higher spontaneous firing rate (P < 0.001), and longer response latency (P < 0.001). Under tone stimulation, TRN's response continuity was poor, and the frequency tuning was greatly different from that of A1 layer six (P < 0.001), but their sensitivity to tone was similar (P > 0.05), and TRN's tone response threshold was much higher than that of A1 layer six (P < 0.001). The above results demonstrate that TRN mainly undertakes the task of information transmission in the auditory system. The noise response of TRN is more extensive than the tone response. Generally, TRN prefers high-intensity acoustic stimulation.

Effects of G-CSF on proliferation and fibrosis of lens epithelial cells / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

【Objective】 In recent years, granulocyte colony stimulating growth factor (G-CSF) has been proved to be expressed in the posterior capsule of the lens of posterior capsular opacification (PCO), but its specific role remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore whether G-CSF plays a role in PCO. 【Methods】 First, human lens epithelial cells (HLEC-B3) were treated with different concentration of recombinant G-CSF protein and screened for effective appropriate concentration. Then, Western blotting was used to detect the effects of extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and epithelial mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT) marker genes after G-CSF treatment on HLEC-B3 cells. Finally, the effects of G-CSF treatment on the migration and invasion of HLEC-B3 cells were detected by scratch experiment and Transwell test. 【Results】 G-CSF at 80 μg/L could promote the proliferation of HLEC-B3 cells. After G-CSF was treated for 48 h, the expressions of EMT and ECM synthesis marker genes in HLEC-B3 cells were significantly upregulated with time. G-CSF could significantly promote HLEC-B3 cell invasion after 48 h induction. Similarly, G-CSF could also significantly induce cell migration compared to the CTRL group. 【Conclusion】 G-CSF can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of HLEC-B3 cells, as well as EMT and ECM synthesis, which might be involved in the occurrence of PCO. Inhibiting the expression of G-CSF may be a new strategy for PCO prevention.

Neural mechanism for modulation of auditory response of the striatum by locomotion / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To explore whether the characteristic responses to sound stimulations of the auditory neurons in the striatum is regulated in different behavioral states.@*METHODS@#The auditory neurons in the striatum of awake C57BL/6J mice were selected for this study. We recorded the auditory response of the striatum to noises over a long period of time by building a synchronous in vivo electrophysiological and locomotion recording system and using glass microelectrode attachment recording. By analyzing the running speed of the mice, the behavioral states of the mice were divided into the quiet state and the active state, and the spontaneous activity and evoked responses of the auditory neurons in the striatum were analyzed in these two states.@*RESULTS@#Compared with those recorded in the quiet state, the spontaneous activity of the auditory neurons in the striatum of the mice increased significantly (37.06±12.02 vs 18.51±10.91, P < 0.001) while the auditory response of the neurons decreased significantly (noise intensity=60 dB, 3.45±2.99 vs 3.04±2.76, P < 0.001) in the active state.@*CONCLUSION@#Locomotion has a significant inhibitory effect on the auditory response of the striatum, which may importantly contribute to the decline of sound information recognition ability in the active state.

miRNA-101a inhibits liver fibrosis induced by activated hepatic stellate cell through upregulating IRE1α signaling pathway / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the role of microRNA (miRNA)-101a in the liver fibrosis induced by activated hepatic stellate cell (HSC), through upregulating IRE1α signaling pathway.Methods:Carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4) induced liver fibrosis model of mice was established. RT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA level of miRNA-101a in liver tissue of mice. Protein level of α smooth muscle actin(αSMA), collagen I and IRE1α were investigated by Western blot. It was divide into Vehicle, TGFβ1, TGFβ1+ miRNA-NC and TGFβ1+ miRNA-M groups. TGFβ1+ miRNA-NC and TGFβ1+ miRNA-M group were transfected with miRNA-101a mimic negative control and miRNA-101a mimic, respectively. After the corresponding treatments, mRNA level of miRNA-101a was detected by RT-PCR, the protein level of αSMA、collagen I and IRE1α were measured by Western blot. Results:Compared to normal mice, the fibrotic deposition in liver tissue of CCl 4 group was increased significantly [(0.17±0.06) vs. (2.09±0.39), P<0.001)]. Protein level of αSMA, collagen I and IRE1α was increased significantly in the model group [(1.00±0.23) vs. (4.09±0.80), (1.00±0.21) vs. (4.98±1.19), (1.00±0.24) vs. (3.27±0.65), all P<0.001)]. While the mRNA level of miRNA-101a was decreased (1.00±0.05) vs. (0.43±0.05), P<0.001). In vitro study, we found that TGFβ1 could inhibit the mRNA expression of miRNA-101a, induced HSC-T6 activation and then up-regulated protein expression of αSMA, collagen I and IRE1α. Compared to TGFβ1+ miRNA-NC group, the expression of miRNA-101a in TGFβ1+ miRNA-M group increased significantly [(0.59±0.19) vs. (1.89±0.20), P<0.001)]. The protein levels of αSMA, collagen I were reduced by over expression of miRNA-101a [(2.65±0.69) vs. (0.84±0.13), (3.15±0.59) vs. (1.31±0.25), all P<0.05)], and the protein content of IRE1α was down-regulated [ (2.63±0.47) vs. (1.03±0.15), P<0.001)]. Conclusion:miRNA-101a may play a critical role in the inhibition of HSC activation and liver fibrogenesis by blocking IRE1α signaling pathway.

Effect of mechano-growth factor on osteoclast activity and its mechanism / 中华创伤杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of mechano-growth factor（MGF）on osteoclast activity and its mechanism.Methods:The RAW264.7 precursor osteoclast cell line was cultured with 25 ng/ml macrophage-colony stimulating factor（M-CSF）and 30 ng/ml receptor activator of NF-κB ligand（RANKL），and identified by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase（TRAP）staining after 7 days of culture. Western blot anslysis was used to determine the effect of 45 ng/ml MGF on the phosphoinositide-3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/AKT）signaling pathway in separated osteoclasts，including levels of AKT，phosphorylation（p）-AKT，lactation mammalian target of rapamycin（mTOR），p-mTOR and TRAP at 0，4，8 and 12 hours. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to expressions of TRAP in osteoclasts at 0，4，8 and 12 hours. The PI3K/Akt phosphorylation inhibitor LY294002（20 μmol/L）combined with MGF（45 ng/ml）was used to act on osteoclasts，and expression levels of Akt，p-Akt，mTOR，p-mTOR and TRAP were detected by Western blot at 0，4，8 and 12 hours.Results:After culturing RAW264.7 cells with M-CSF and RANKL for 7 days，a large number of osteoclasts with positive TRAP staining can be obtained. Western blot analysis showed expression levels of Akt and mTOR did not change significantly over time（ P>0.05），expression levels of p-Akt and p-mTOR increased continuously from（2.18±0.34）pg/ml and（0.83±0.10）pg/ml at 0 hour to（3.86±0.36）pg/ml and（1.56±0.19）pg/ml at 12 hours（ P<0.05），and expression level of TRAP decreased significantly over time，from（5.66±0.47）pg/ml at 0 hour to（3.76±0.38）pg/ml at 12 hours（ P<0.05）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR analysis of expression of TRAP in osteoclasts showed that MGF inhibited the expression of TRAP in osteoclasts，which decreased from 1.02±0.06 at 0 hour to 0.53±0.11 at 12 hours（ P<0.05）. After acting LY294002 combined with MGF on osteoclasts，Western blot analysis showed expression levels of Akt and mTOR did not change significantly over time（ P>0.05），expression levels of p-AKT and p-mTOR decreased significantly from（3.28±0.18）pg/ml and（3.29±0.22）pg/ml at 0 hour to（2.06±0.34）pg/ml and（2.04±0.20）pg/ml at 12 hours（ P<0.05），and expression level of TRAP had no significant difference over time（ P>0.05）. Conclusions:MGF inhibits osteoclast activity by inhibiting the expression of TRAP in osteoclasts through PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. LY294002 inhibits the expression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in osteoclasts，further verifying the mechanism of MGF inhibiting osteoclast activity，and this finding puts forward new ideas for clinical prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Mortality and years of life lost of colorectal cancer in China, 2005-2020: findings from the national mortality surveillance system / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth cause of cancer death in China. We aimed to provide national and subnational estimates and changes of CRC premature mortality burden during 2005-2020.@*METHODS@#Data from multi-source on the basis of the national surveillance mortality system were used to estimate mortality and years of life lost (YLL) of CRC in the Chinese population during 2005-2020. Estimates were generated and compared for 31 provincial-level administrative divisions in China.@*RESULTS@#Estimated CRC deaths increased from 111.41 thousand in 2005 to 178.02 thousand in 2020; age-standardized mortality rate decreased from 10.01 per 100,000 in 2005 to 9.68 per 100,000 in 2020. Substantial reduction in CRC premature mortality burden, as measured by age-standardized YLL rate, was observed with a reduction of 10.20% nationwide. Marked differences were observed in the geographical patterns of provincial units, and they appeared to be obvious in areas with higher economic development. Population aging was the dominant driver which contributed to the increase in CRC deaths, followed by population growth and age-specific mortality change.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Substantial discrepancies were observed in the premature mortality burden of CRC across China. Targeted considerations were needed to promote a healthy lifestyle, expand cost-effective CRC early screening and diagnosis, and improve medical treatment to reduce CRC mortality among high-risk populations and regions with inadequate healthcare resources.

A systematic review of pseudoaneurysm after intertrochanteric fracture / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To summarize the age, gender difference, cause, location, time, treatment and prognosis of femoral intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm, and analyze the influence of different treatment methods on the occurrence of femoral intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm.Methods:Using the method of systematic literature review, a total of 76 literatures were retrieved from multiple databases at home and abroad, and 45 literatures were screened out through the second screening of title, abstract and full text. The patients with intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm were selected as the research objects, and the duplicate cases were deleted; the age, gender, onset age, etiology, location, treatment and prognosis of the disease were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 54 cases of femoral intertrochanteric fracture related pseudoaneurysms were selected from 45 literatures, including 25 males and 27 females, and 2 cases had no gender; aged from 43 to 94 years old, and 4 cases were younger than 60 years old, 6 between 61 and 70, 17 between 71 and 80, and 25 between 81 and 90. Forty-five cases occurred in deep femoral artery, 3 cases in superficial femoral artery, 1 case in superior gluteal artery, 1 case of medial circumflex artery, 1 case of lateral circumflex femoral artery, 1 case of femoral artery, and 2 cases of unknown location. The occurrence time of pseudoaneurysm: 17 cases within 1 week after fracture, 8 cases from 1 week to 3 weeks, 19 cases from 3 weeks to 3 months, 2 cases more than 3 months, and 8 cases unknown. The causes of pseudoaneurysm: among the 54 patients, 41 cases had definite causes, including 21 cases of vascular injury caused by fracture block; 20 cases of iatrogenic injury, of which the incidence of direct injury of blood vessels by screw or drill was the highest, accounting for 55% (11/20). Twenty-two cases were treated with vascular embolization, 10 cases with surgical sutures, 8 cases with surgical ligation, 4 cases with resection of pseudoaneurysm, 5 cases with covered stent, and 4 cases with thrombin injection. There were 42 cases who had follow-up data, and no recurrence and other complications were found during the follow-up period.Conclusion:The peak age of femoral intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm was 71-90 years old. The incidence of femoral intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm was more often within 1 week after fracture and 3 weeks to 3 months after fracture, due to fracture fragments and iatrogenic vascular injury caused by the location of the profundus femoris artery. Treatment options include vascular embolization, surgical ligation, suture or resection of pseudoaneurysm, covered stent and thrombin injection, and the prognosis is generally good.

Analysis of serum albumin levels in elderly neurocritical patients after surgery / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective:To further optimize the nutritional support program for elderly neurocritical patients, analyze the changes and influencing factors of serum albumin levels in elderly neurocritical patients after surgery, and explore the impact on prognosis.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to investigate the medical records of neurosurgical intensive patients in Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital from May 2015 to September 2019. All the patients were treated for at least 5 days after operation. Patients with severe liver and kidney dysfunction, mental illness and incomplete medical records were not included in the study. Patients aged ≥65 years were included as the experimental group and patients aged <65 years served as the control group. Generalized estimating equation and other models were used to analyze the difference in the trend of albumin level and its influencing factors between the two groups. Automated machine learning was used to explore the influence of factors such as albumin level, nutrition mode, age, sex, diagnosis, preoperative consciousness level on the prognosis of patients.Results:A total of 284 patients were included in the study, including 85 in the experimental group and 199 in the control group. There were no significant differences in baseline data such as sex, age, and proportion of nutritional patterns between the two groups. Generalized estimating equation and generalized mixed additive equation showed that albumin level in both groups reached the minimum on the 3rd day after operation, and the average level in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P=0.03). Cerebral hemorrhage, emergency surgery, and low preoperative albumin were risk factors ( P<0.05); intravenous supplementation of human albumin might have an adverse effect on the experimental group ( P = 0.047). Machine learning models suggested that the higher the serum albumin level at discharge, the better the prognosis at 1 month after surgery. The area under ROC curve was 0.906, the specificity was 93.7%, and the sensitivity was 67.0%. Conclusions:The changes of albumin level in elderly patients with neurological critical illness after surgery are basically the same as those in young patients, with the lowest albumin level on the 3rd day after surgery, and the albumin levels even lower on the 3rd day after surgery in patients with cerebral hemorrhage, emergency surgery and preoperative low albumin. The higher the albumin level at discharge, the better the prognosis of patients may be.

Objective:To explore the curative efficacy of pelvic reconstruction plate and T-plate elastic fixation in the treatment of acetabular fractures with comminuted posterior wall.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 21 patients who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics, Affiliated Hospital to the Second Mongolia Medical University for acetabular fractures with comminuted posterior wall from January 2017 to June 2019. They were 15 males and 6 females, aged from 29 to 55 years (average, 41.5 years). According to the Letournel-Judet classification, there were 15 cases of simple posterior wall fracture with dislocation of the femoral head, 4 cases of posterior wall and posterior column fracture, and 2 cases of double-column and posterior wall fracture. The time from injury to surgery averaged 3 days (from 2 to 5 days). The posterior acetabulum was treated by pelvic reconstruction plate combined with T-plate elastic fixation through the posterior acetabular Kocher-Langenbeck approach. Postoperative fracture reduction, fracture union time, function of the affected hip and complications at the last follow-up were evaluated.Results:This group of 21 patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months (average, 15 months). By the Matta imaging scoring, the postoperative reduction of the posterior wall fracture was evaluated as excellent in 18 cases and as good in 3, giving an excellent to good rate of 100%. The fracture union time averaged 10 weeks (from 8 to 12 weeks) for this group. By the improved Merle d'Aubigné & Postel evaluation at the last follow-up, the affected hips scored from 12 to 18 points (average, 16 points), yielding 18 excellent, 2 good and one poor cases, giving an excellent to good rate of 95.2%. There was no major hemorrhage, nerve injury or deep vein thrombosis intraoperatively. During the follow-up, mild ectopic ossification occurred in one case, and subluxation of the femoral head and traumatic arthritis were observed in another, but no patient had other complications like avascular necrosis of the femoral head.Conclusion:In the treatment of acetabular fracture with comminuted posterior wall, pelvic reconstruction plate and T-plate elastic fixation through the posterior acetabular Kocher-Langenbeck approach can lead to fine short-term outcomes.

Effects of hypoxia on the expression of autophagy-related molecules in human colon cancer cells / 基础医学与临床

Objective To explore the mechanism of hypoxia on SW480 cell autophagy.Methods We screened the CD133+cell with the characteristics of stem cell by magnetic cell separation. Then SW480 cell and CD133+cell were incubated in hypoxic conditions. Subsequently,we detected HIF-1α expression by immunofluorescence(IF), LC3 expression by Western blot and HIF-2α and Beclin 1 expression in 94 colon cancer tissue samples by immuno-histochemistry. Results Hypoxia induced the activation of HIF-1α in SW480 cell. After hypoxia 24 h, LC3 ex-pression was increased in both SW480 cell and CD133+cell with incubation time. The conversion from LC3Ⅰto LC3Ⅱwas increased in CD133+cell,but decreased in SW480 cell. In olon cancer tissue samples,HIF-2α and Be-clin 1 expression in poorly differentiated group were higher than that of well-differentiated group.HIF-2α expression in non-lymph node metastasis group was higher than high lymphatic metastasis group. However the Beclin expression was in the opposite regulation. Conclusions Hypoxia can induce the SW480 apoptosis and a few of CD133+cell autophagy that can protect the cell from apoptosis by inducing the HIF expression and increasing LC3.

Relationship between iASPP expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma / 重庆医学

Objective To investigate the expression change of inhibitory member of the ASPP family(iASPP) and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis in the patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).Methods One hundred and thirty-three cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma confirmed by pathology in the hospital were selected,at the same time 30 cases of nasopharyngeal chronic mucositis biopsy paraffin blocks previously collected in the pathology department served as the control group.The immunohistochemical staining was used to compare the expression of iASPP protein in the two groups and the relationship between the expression of iASPP with the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis in the patients with NPC was analyzed.Results The positive expression of iASPP protein in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue was 72.18％,which was higher than 20.00％ in the control group(P＜0.05);the positive expression of iASPP protein in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue had a certain relationship with the primary tumor range and lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05);92 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were followed up,including 63 cases of iASPP protein positive expression and 29 cases of iASPP protein negative expression,the 5-year survival rate in the patients with iASPP protein positive expression was 71.43％,which in the patients with iASPP protein negative expression was 86.21％,the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion The iASPP expression in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue is up-regulated,which is related to the lymph node metastasis and the primary tumor range,but its influence on the patient's prognosis is not significant.
