RESUMEN
In view of the current norms and demands of human gene editing technology at home and abroad, the paper explained that the regulatory difficulties faced by human gene editing technology were due to the conflict between economic interests and moral bottom line by constructing a game model in a hypothetical way. On this basis, the ideas of the supervision mode of human gene editing technology were put forward: establish unified international standards based on the country as the main body, enact more stringent and effective laws, to jointly deal with the behavior of genetic manipulation of human gametes, zygotes and embryos for the purpose of reproductive, and ensure the normalization and legalization of gene editing technology to avoid technology abuse.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effects and molecular mechanism of neuropilin and tolloid-like 2 (NETO2) on proliferation, migration, cell cycle, and apoptosis in gallbladder cancer (GBC).Methods:The NETO2 mRNA and protein expression in GBC-SD, ZJU-0430, NOZ GBC cells were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. NETO2 overexpression and knockdown stable cell lines were constructed by plasmid transfection. Cell counting kit-8 assay, colony formation assay, transwell assay, flow cytometry and WB assay were performed to evaluate proliferation, migration, cell cycle, apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and changes of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway.Results:GBC-SD and ZJU-0430 cells with NETO2 gene overexpression and NOZ cells with NETO2 gene knockdown were effectively constructed. NETO2 overexpression in gallbladder cancer cell lines significantly improved cell proliferation and migration, advanced cell cycle progression from G0/G1 to S phase, and inhibited cell apoptosis. In the ZJU-0430 and GBC-SD cells, the clone number increased from (78.5±9.2), (217.0±6.4) to (213.5±10.3), (296.3±9.3)( t=10.98, 6.51; P=0.008, 0.023); The number of migrating cells increased from (198.6±8.4), (233.3±11.0) to (382.7±12.4), (379.0±7.3) ( t=16.98, 16.85, both P<0.001); The total apoptosis rate reduced from (29.7±0.9)%, (35.6±1.1)% to (19.2±0.5)%, (29.1±0.4)% ( t=9.74, 9.05; both P<0.001); The expression of EMT related proteins such as N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, and Slug were upregulated, while E-cadherin expression was downregulated. Phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K) and Akt (p-Akt) protein expression were significantly increased (all P<0.05). In contrast, NETO2 knockdown had the opposite effect on all these parameters. Conclusion:NETO2 influences the EMT process by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, thus promotes GBC cell proliferation, migration and cell cycle progression, and inhibits cancer cell apoptosis.
RESUMEN
Objective:The safety and effectiveness of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in the treatment of distal pancreatectomy (DP) were evaluated by meta-analysis.Methods:Pancreatic body and tail resection, distal pancreatic resection, ERAS, rapid recovery after surgery, pancreatectomy, DP and ERAS were used as key words, and the network database such as Chinese journal full-text database, Wanfang data knowledge service platform, Weipu database, Chinese biomedical literature database, Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of science, Sciencedirect and so on were searched. The retrospective literatures published from the database establishment to May 2022 were retrieved from the network database, and the papers were screened and the quality was evaluated according to the pre-set inclusion and exclusion criteria; and important data were extracted. The software Review Manager 5.4 was used for meta-analysis.Results:9 papers were finally included, and a total of 650 patients with DP were enrolled (311 in the ERAS group and 339 in the NO-ERAS group). Meta-anaysis showed that compared with NO-ERAS group, ERAS group could reduce intraoperative bleeding ( MD=-73.88, 95% CI -121.21--26.55, P=0.002), decrease the incidence of postoperative complications ( OR=0.48, 95% CI 0.32-0.72, P<0.001) and pulmonary complications ( OR=0.47, 95% CI 0.24-0.93, P=0.030), shorten the postoperative exhaust time (MD=-8.76, 95% CI -11.23--6.29, P<0.001), postoperative length of hospital stay ( MD=-2.65, 95% CI -3.06--2.07, P<0.001) and abdominal drainage tube removal time ( MD=-1.45, 95% CI -1.81--1.09, P<0.001). However, ERAS could not shorten the operative time ( MD=6.25, 95% CI -4.56-17.07, P=0.260), reduce the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula ( OR=0.92, 95% CI 0.53--1.60, P=0.780) and the re-admission rate within 30 days after surgery ( OR=1.00, 95% CI 0.47-2.11, P=0.990). Conclusions:ERAS is safe and effective for patients undergoing DP, because it can reduce intraoperative bleeding and postoperative complications, shorten postoperative hospital stay and postoperative abdominal drainage tube removal time.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the effects of intermittent oral-esophageal tube feeding (IOE) on cerebral hemorrhage (CH) survivors receiving a tracheotomy.Methods:A total of 126 CH patients undergoing tracheotomy were randomly divided into an IOE group ( n=65) and a nasogastric tube feeding (NGT) group ( n=61). The feeding continued for 4 weeks along with medication and thorough rehabilitation interventions (including hemiplegic limb training, swallowing training, and pulmonary function training). Before and after the treatment, the body mass index, hemoglobin, albumin, proalbumin, creatinine height index, extubation rate and intubation time of the tracheotomy, as well as the incidence of complications were evaluated for both groups. Both groups were also assessed using the clinical pulmonary infection scale (CPIS) and National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS). Results:After the 4 weeks the nutrition indexes, average extubation rate (90.76%) and intubation time [(15.96±3.86)d], CPIS score (3.00±1.69), NIHSS score (11.86±4.08) and the overall incidence of complications in the IOE group were all significantly better than the NGT group′s averages.Conclusions:Where feasible, intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding is superior to nasogastric tube feeding of cerebral hemorrhage patients undergoing tracheotomy. It reduces the risk of pulmonary infection and other complications, resulting in early removal of the tracheotomy cannula and quicker recovery.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the correlation between serum high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) and severity of coronary artery disease.Methods:From January 2018 to March 2019, 170 patients who underwent coronary angiography and were definitely diagnosed with coronary heart disease in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were divided into single-vessel lesion group(65 cases), double-vessel lesion group(55 cases) and three-vessel lesion group(50 cases) according to the results of coronary angiography.Sixty healthy persons in the same period were set as the control group.The serum levels of HMGB1, endothelin-1, C-reaction protein (CRP), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were detected, and the severity of coronary artery disease was evaluated according to Gensini score standard.Results:The serum HMGB1 of patients with single vessel disease was (7.35±0.75) μg/L, that of double vessel disease group was (11.56±1.16) μg/L, that of three vessel disease group was (14.36±1.46) μg/L, and that of control group was (3.22±1.52) μg/L.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( F=14.235, P<0.001). The serum endothelin-1 in single vessel disease group was (198.56±19.86) ng/L, that in double vessel disease group was (226.54±22.64) ng / L, that in three vessel disease group was (435.65±43.95) ng/L, and that in control group was (120.47±13.27) ng/L.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( F=16.337, P<0.001). The serum CRP of patients with single vessel disease was (6.21±0.61) ng/L, that of double vessel disease group was (8.54±0.84) ng/L, that of three vessel disease group was (11.36±1.16) ng/L, and that of control group was (3.39±1.56) ng/L.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( F=15.206, P<0.001). Serum LDL-C was (3.23±0.33) mmol/L in single vessel disease group, 4.12±0.42 mmol/L in double vessel disease group, (6.23±0.63) mmol/L in three vessel disease group and (2.25±1.45) mmol/L in control group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( F=22.017, P<0.001). Serum HDL-C was (4.02±0.42) mmol/L in single vessel disease group, (2.35±0.25) mmol/L in double vessel disease group, (1.79±0.29) mmol/L in three vessel disease group and (4.60±1.69) mmol/L in control group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( F=18.564, P<0.001). The Gensini score of single vessel disease group was (10.36±2.26), that of double vessel disease group was (16.74±1.04) and that of three vessel disease group was (23.36±2.36). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( F=23.014, P<0.001). The levels of HMGB1, endothelin-1, CRP and LDL-C in patients with coronary heart disease were significantly higher than those in the control group, while the levels of HDL-C were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The higher the number of diseased vessels, the higher the levels of HMGB1, endothelin-1, CRP, LDL-C and Gensini score, the lower the level of HDL-C.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that HMGB1, endothelin-1, CRP and LDL-C were risk factors of Gensini score (standard coefficient was 0.480, 0.087, 0.173, 0.197, t=8.351, 9.047, 12.476, 11.692, all P<0.01); HDL-C level was a protective factor of Gensini score (standard coefficient -0.352, t value was 16.582, P<0.001). Pearson linear correlation analysis showed that serum HMGB1 level was positively correlated with endothelin-1, CRP and LDL-C ( r=0.536, 0.659, 0.724, all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with HDL-C ( r=-0.669, P<0.05). Conclusion:There are obvious inflammatory reaction and lipid metabolism disorder in patients with coronary heart disease.The level of HMGB1 in peripheral blood is closely related to the severity of coronary artery disease.

RESUMEN
Objective To explore whether fluid-attenuated inversion recovery can be used to estimate the onset time of acute ischemic stroke (ALS) based on the analysis of signal strength through the fluid-attenuated inversion-recov?ery (FLAIR)and volume of interest (ROI) in ALS patients with known time of onset. Method Forty-seven AIS patients who met the inclusion criteria were recruited from Baotou Central Hospital, Department of Neurology from January 2011 to December 2012. The patients had stroke onset within 12 hours and completed MRI scan including diffusion-weighted imaging DWI, apparent diffusion and coefficient ADC FLAIR. Based on MRI findings, patients were divided into, three groups:0~180 min, 180~360 min and 360~720 min groups. Signal strength values of the DWI、FLAIR and ADC in ipsi?lateral and contralateral sides were measured. Result There was a significant difference in the FLAIR signal strength among these three groups.The FLAIR signal strength was significantly lower in 0~180 min and 180~360 min groups than in 360-720 min. FLAIR positive rate was 16.7%, 62.5%, and 70.6% in 0~180 min, 180~360 min and 360~729 min groups, respectively. Conclusion FLAIR positive rate gradually increases as the onset prolongs. Thus, lower FLAIR posi?tive rate indicates shorter onset time of AIS, which can be used to assist acute intravenous thrombolytic therapy.

RESUMEN
Objective To observe the dynamic expression of Nogo receptor (NgR) in spinal cord of rats after spinal cord injury. Meth-ods 108 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into normal group, sham operated group and model group, with 36 rats in each group. The model of spinal cord injury was established with the modified Allen's method. The rats were killed 24 h, 3 days, 7 days and 14 days re-spectively after intervention (9 rats from each group), and expression of NgR in the spinal cord tissue of the rats was detected with immuno-histochemistry and Western blotting, and expression of NgR mRNA was detected with fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results There was no significant change in the expression of NgR in the normal group and the sham operated group (P>0.05). The expression of protein and mRNA of NgR was less in the model group 24 h after modeling, dropped to the lowest on the 3rd day, then rapidly peaked on the 7th day, and gradually declined on the 14th day after spinal cord injury. Compared with the normal group, there were significant differences in ex-pression of NgR in immunohistochemistry and Western blotting in the model group at each time point after spinal cord injury (P<0.05). Compared with the sham operated group, there were significant differences in expression of NgR mRNA in the model group at each time point after spinal cord injury (P<0.01). Conclusion The expression of NgR and mRNA peaks on the 7th day after spinal cord injury in the rats, and maintains at high level for a long time, which may associated with the difficulty of axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the interactive mechanism of dopamine and α-synuclein in SH-SY5Y cells,and to explore their effects on Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods The concentration of exogenous dopamine was definited by MTT method.The effect of exogenous dopamine on the expressions of α-synuclein and caspase-3 active fragments and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were detected by Western blot and commercial kit.Recombinant plasmid of wild-type α-synuclein was transfected into SH-SY5Y cells.Level changes in dopamine concentration,MDA content and expression of caspase-3 active fragment were observed.Furthermore,the effect of GBR12935,an inhibitor of dopamine transporter,on these outcomes were detected.Results Intracellular dopamine concentration was increased by 16 folds in SH-SY5Y cells which were added 300 umol/L exogenous dopamine for 24 hours as compared with blank controls (t=7.32,P＜0.01).Expressions of α-synuclein and caspase-3 active fragments and MDA content were increased in exogenous dopamine treated group as compared with blank controls (t=4.92,17.14,6.55,all P＜0.01).Intracellular dopamine concentration,MDA content and expression of caspase-3 active fragment were increased in SH-SY5Y cells transfected with recombinant plasmid of wild-type α-synuclein as compared with SH-SY5Y cells transfected with empty plasmid (F =32.97.107.80,55.54,all P＜0.01),whlie these increases could be partially inhibited by GBR12935.Conclusions Dopamine promotes the expression of α-synuclein,while over-expressed α-synuclein increases intracellular dopamine concentration,which forms a vicious cycle of cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the correlation between the level of postprandial blood glucose (PBG)and the incidence of coronary artery disease(CAD). Methods Eighty-five patients performed coronary angiography with abnormal blood glucose levels were divided into 3 groups according the blood glucose levels: impaired fasting glucose(IFG)group(28 cases), impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)group(29cases)and diabetes mellitus(DM)group(28 cases). The detection rate and the extent of CAD were observed. The risk factors of CAD in 3 groups such as C-reactive protein(CRP),carotid artery intima-media thickness(CIMT), blood lipids, blood pressure, body mass index(BMI)and the correlation with CAD were analyzed. Results Sixty-two cases were confirmed CAD by coronary angiography. The incidence rate of CAD in IGT group[79.3%(23/29)]and DM group[85.7%(24/28)]was significantly higher than that in IFG group[53.6%(15/28)](P ＜ 0.01). The incidence rate of CAD in DM group was higher than that in IGT group, but there was no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05). The incidence rate of two-lesion and three-lesion in IGT group and DM group were significantly higher than those in IFG group(P＜ 0.01). The incidence rate of two-lesion and three-lesion in DM group were higher than those in IGT group, but there was no significant difference(P＞0.05). The levels of CRP, CIMT, BMI, triacylglycerol(TG)and systolic blood pressure(SBP)were higher and HDL-C was lower in IGT group and DM group than those in IFG group(P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The levels of CRP,TG and SBP were higher in DM group than those in IGT group(P＜0.05). Correlation analysis showed, in IGT group and DM group,2 h PG had significantly positive correlation with CRP, CIMT,B MI, TG(P＜0.05 or＜0.01), and had significantly negative correlation with HDL-C(P＜0.05 or ＜0.01).Conclusions PBG is closely related with the development of CAD.IGT patients should be intervened as early as possible, which can be effective in preventing cardiovascular events.
