Objective To determine whether four-and-a-half LIM-only protein 2(FHL2)can affect macrophage foa-ming by regulating nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)signaling pathway.Methods FHL2 over-expression plasmids and siRNA of FHL2 were constructed and transfected into human monocyte/macrophages cell line THP-1.Western blot was used to detect the expression of FHL2.The cells were stimulated with oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)and the expression of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α and other cytokines were detected by ELISA.Oil red O staining was used to detect the degree of cell foaming.The protein expression of NF-κB signaling pathway was detected by Western blot.Results The expression of FHL2 increased after transfected with FHL2 over-expression plasmids while decreased in si-FLH2 transfected cells.FHL2 down-regulated secretion of inflammatory cytokines.Down-regulation of FHL2 allevi-ated THP-1 macrophage foaming.The down-regulation of FHL2 inhibited activation of NF-κB signaling pathway,while the over-expression FHL2 showed an opposite trend.Conclusions FHL2 down-regulation inhibits the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway,reduces the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and alleviates foaming of macrophages.
RESUMEN
In order to understand nurses’ willingness to participate in humanistic nursing training and its influencing factors, and provide reference for managers to understand the current situation and improve nurses’ enthusiasm for humanistic nursing training. The convenience sampling method was used to investigate 23 707 nurses in 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) through a self-designed questionnaire distributed on the Internet. The results showed that 98.1% of nurses thought that participating in humanistic nursing related training was helpful to clinical work, but only 88.6% of the respondents were willing to participate in humanistic nursing training. Thirty factors were analyzed from four aspects of basic characteristics of individuals, cognitive relevant experience and organizational atmosphere. Fifteen factors had significant significance in binary Logistic regression analysis (P<0.05). Among them, the factors that had a positive impact on training willingness were: marriage, education, professional title, post establishment, agree with humanistic care is the basic duty of a nurse praised, experience of being praised at work, family support, rapport with patients, passion of colleagues to participate in training, sustained high-quality care demonstration activities, join the humanistic care related organization, hospital reimbursement of training expenses (OR value of 6.559~1.113, P<0.001). The OR value of humanistic nursing as a nurse’s responsibility was 6.559 and the 95%CI was 5.585~7.702. The factors that hindered nurses from participating in training were: work occupied most of time and energy, think humanistic nursing is abstract and difficult to understand, think the mastered humanistic knowledge and skills meet the needs of work (OR value of 0.657~0.722, P<0.001). Through the analysis, it is considered that nurses have a extremely consistent high recognition of the significance of humanistic nursing training, but their willingness to receive training is affected by many factors such as individual experience, cognitive attitude and organizational atmosphere. In order to realize nurses’ high recognition of humanistic nursing training to high enthusiasm of behavior, the aspects of individual cognition and organizational atmosphere must be discussed.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:In the offspring of obese mothers,some metabolic genes are"silent"under certain environmental influences.These"silent"genes may be"awakened"under the acquired environment and then cause metabolic regulation disorders. OBJECTIVE:In the case of offspring with different diets,to explore the metabolic genetic effects of long-term high-fat and exercise intervention in female mice. METHODS:Seventy 3-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were divided into high-fat diet(HFD)and high-at exercise groups(high-fat diet+exercise,HFD-Ex),and they gave birth naturally after 16 weeks of intervention.After 4-week lactation,16 male offspring mice from each group were randomly selected.Totally 32 offspring mice were randomly divided into 4 subgroups and given high-fat diet or standard chow diet for 6 weeks:HFD-HFD,HFD-Ex-HFD,HFD-standard chow diet,and HFD-Ex-standard chow diet.The offspring mice were subjected to glucose tolerance test and insulin tolerance test in the 10th week,followed by body composition analysis and sacrifice.Western blot was used to determine the level of p-Akt in the liver.Immunofluorescence of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus was used to analyze the expression of neuropeptide Y and pro-opiomelanocortion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the high-fat diet,compared with the HFD group,the offspring of the HFD-Ex group had significantly improvements in glucose metabolism,body mass,and body composition(P＜0.05).Under the standard chow diet,compared with the HFD group,the expression of neuropeptide Y in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus of the HFD-Ex group was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the expression of pro-opiomelanocortion was significantly up-regulated(P＜0.05).In the case of insulin(-),the expression of phosphorylated Akt(Ser473)protein in the liver showed no significant difference between the two groups,but in the case of insulin(+),there was a significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).In the high-fat diet mode,the metabolic protection effect of the maternal long-term exercise may gradually weaken with the prolongation of the offspring's high-fat exposure;in the standard chow diet mode,the maternal long-term exercise can improve the central regulation of energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity of the male offspring.

RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the oxidative stress of cerebral white matter lesion (WML) and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) with in vivo proton exchange rate (k ex) MRI on relapse-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients. Methods:Clinical and imaging data of 37 patients (case group) with RRMS patients of Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology were analyzed retrospectively from November 2018 to November 2021, including 11 males and 26 females aged 18-41 (29±7) years. Another 22 age-matched healthy volunteers (control group) were recruited for the same period, including 4 males and 18 females aged 23-44 years with a median age of 25 (24, 28.25) years. All subjects received conventional MR protocols and chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging. The manifestation of WML on the k ex map and T 1WI images were assessed while the k ex values of WML, NAWM and normal white matter (NWM) of control group were quantitatively evaluated. Student′s t test was used to compare the k ex difference of WML and NAWM in the case group, NAWM in the case group and NWM in the control group, low-signal and isosignal WML in T 1WI. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation of the k ex values of WML with patients′ expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score. Results:A total of 272 WML were found in the 37 RRMS patients, and 25.4% (69/272) were T 1-hypointense. The k ex value of WML in the case group [(932±108) s -1] was higher than that of NAWM [(771±26) s -1], and the difference was statistically significant ( t=8.95, P<0.001); the k ex value of NAWM in the case group [(771±26) s -1 ] was higher than that of NWM [(745±26) s -1] in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.96, P<0.001). The k ex value [(1 039±110) s -1] of WML with low signal at T 1WI was higher than that of WML with equal signal [(895±79) s -1], with a statistically significant difference ( t=9.78, P<0.001). Correlation analysis showed that the k ex value of WML in the case group was positively correlated with the EDSS score ( r=0.54, P<0.001). Conclusions:The elevated k ex values of WML and NAWM reflect the cerebral oxidative stress of RRMS patients and are positively correlated to the severity of tissue damage, which suggests the role of oxidative stress in RRMS lesion formation and brain atrophy.
RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the correlation between the volume of irradiated pelvic bone marrow and acute hematologic toxicity (HT), in order to provide clinical data to reduce the risk of acute HT and optimize the radiotherapy plan.Methods:From October 2017 to May 2019, 41 LARC patients who received neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) were retrospectively reviewed in our center. All patients were treated with 5-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and the prescription dose delivered to PTV was 45-50.4 Gy in 25-28 fractions. Capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) wasadministered daily 5 days a week during radiotherapy. Different HTswere recorded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria Version 5.0 (NCI-CTC.V5.0) based on laboratory tests. The volume of PBM or each site (coxal, sacrum, femoral) receiving more than x Gy refers to as TVx, CVx, SVx, and FVx, respectively. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between the volume of irradiated pelvic bone marrow and different HT. Generalized additive model (GAM) and piecewise regression were used to further analyze the possible nonlinear relationship and threshold effect between them. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low-dose of irradiated total pelvic bone marrow volume ( TV5) and coxal bone marrow volume ( CV5, CV10) were significantly correlated with Grade ≥2 leukopenia( P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between the sacrum bone marrow volume ( SV5, SV10) and Grade ≥2 leukopenia ( P<0.05). A thresholdeffect has been observed between CV10 and Grade ≥2 leukopenia by Generalized additive model (GAM) and piecewise linear regression. The threshold between CV10 and Grade ≥2 leukopenia was 575 ml, OR (95% CI) was 1.85 (1.08, 3.16). Conclusions:In neoadjuvant IMRT of rectal cancer, CV is a better predictor of acute HT induced by CCRT than TV. The irradiated volume of CV associated with acute HT was mainly low-dose levels ( CV5, CV10). The thresholds of our study ( CV10= 575 ml) could be a good reference for the optimization of the radiotherapy plan.
RESUMEN
We report a case of a female teenage with monogenic diabetes mellitus caused by glucokinase regulator (GCKR) gene mutation who presented with diabetic ketosis and misdiagnosed as type 1 diabetes. The patient was treated with insulin for 3 years since diagnosis. The islet function was well preserved, but polycystic ovary syndrome was developed. Whole-exome gene sequencing revealed a GCKR gene c. 69delG heterozygous mutation. After molecular diagnosis, the insulin dosage was gradually reduced to full cessation, and only metformin sustained-release tablets were taken to control blood glucose. It is necessary to regular evaluate islet function of patient with type 1 diabetes, and genetic test is of significance for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
RESUMEN
Objective:To study the anatomy of the perforator propeller flap of superior lateral genicular artery, and to explore a surgical method and clinical application in repair of the soft tissue defect of anterolateral knee with the flap.Methods:From September 2019 to September 2021, 8 knees of 4 chilled fresh specimen of adults were studied. The perforators of the superior lateral genicular artery were observed. The length, outer diameter of the perforators, and the locations of the skin perforation were recorded. The superior lateral genicular artery perforator propeller flaps were then applied clinically to 5 patients(3 males and 2 females) with soft tissue defects of anterolateral knee. Two of the patients had combined ligament injury and(or) bone joint exposure. The age of patients ranged from 25 to 48 years old, at 33.4 years old in average. The sizes of soft tissue defects ranged from 4.0 cm×4.0 cm to 8.0 cm×5.0 cm. The sizes of perforator propeller flaps of superior lateral genicular artery were 10.0 cm×5.0 cm to 13.0 cm×6.0 cm. The superior perforating vessels of the superior lateral genicular artery were found and marked at the points of skin perforation. Preoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound were performed to confirm the dominant perforating vessels and had the skin perforating points marked. Intraoperative CDU were further performed to confirm the points of dominant perforating vessels. Perforator propeller flaps were designed depending on the size of the anterolateral soft tissue defect, and flaps were prepared and transferred to the defect sites. Postoperative follow-ups were conducted at outpatient clinic. The survival of the flap and knee function were observed according to the Bai-ly knee scoring.Results:The anatomy showed that an average pedicle length of the superior lateral genicular artery perforator was(8.2±0.9) cm, with an average starting outer diameter at(1.1±0.2) mm. All 5 flaps survived during the follow-up that lasted for 10 to 24 months, with an average of 15.3 months. All flaps healed in 2 weeks after surgery without complications such as soft tissue infection, bone and joint infection were observed. At the last follow-up, no obvious bloated appearance of the flaps were observed. The colour and elasticity of the flaps were similar to the surrounding skin. The knee function was assessed: 4 patients were in excellent and 1 in good. The range of knee flexion and extension was from 100° to 150°. The patients were satisfied with the appearance and function of the knees.Conclusion:The size of the perforator of superior lateral genicular artery and the pedicle length are ideal. The propeller flap can be used to repair the soft tissue defect around the anterolateral knee, with satisfactory functional recovery of a knee. It is a good method to repair the soft tissue defect around anterolateral knee.

RESUMEN
Objective@#This study aimed to explore the feasibility of functional evaluation of the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs). @*Materials and Methods@#A total of 119 patients with TMD (23 male and 96 female; mean age ± standard deviation, 41 ± 15 years; 58 bilateral and 61 unilateral involvements for a total of 177 joints) and 20 healthy volunteers (9 male and 11 female;40 ± 13 years; 40 joints) were included in this prospective study. Based on DTI of the jaw in the resting state, the diffusion parameters, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), fractional anisotropy (FA), λ1, λ2, and λ3 of the superior and inferior heads of the LPM (SHLPM and IHLPM) were measured. Patients with TMD with normal disc position (ND), anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADWR), and anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADWOR) were compared. @*Results@#Patients with TMD overall, and ADWR and ADWOR subgroups had significantly higher ADC, λ1, λ2, and λ3 in both the SHLPM and IHLPM than those in volunteers (p < 0.05 for all), whereas the ND subgroup only had significantly higher ADC and λ1 (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, significant differences in FA in the SHLPM and IHLPM were found between volunteers and ADWOR (p = 0.014 and p = 0.037, respectively). Among the three TMD subgroups, except for λ3 and FA in the ADWR subgroup, ADWR and ADWOR subgroups had significantly higher ADC, λ1, λ2, and λ3 and lower FA than those in the ND group (p < 0.050). There was no significant difference in diffusion variables between ADWR and ADWOR. In ADWOR, the osteoarthritis group had significantly higher λ3 and lower FA values in the IHLPM than those in the non-osteoarthritis group. @*Conclusion@#DTI successfully detected functional changes in the LPM in patients with TMD. The unsynchronized diffusivity changes in the LPM in different subgroups of TMD signified the possibility of using diffusion parameters as indicators to identify the severity of LPM hyperfunction at various stages of TMD.

Objective:To improve the loading technology of precision micro instruments, so as to ensure not only the quality of cleaning and sterilization, but also the safe use of instruments.Methods:From January to March, 2021, 80 sets of precision micro instruments from Sterilization Supply Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Affiliated Ruijin Hospital were randomly divided into silica gel pad loading group (group A) and silica gel stent loading group (group B), 40 sets in each group. The cleaning effect, drying effect, loading effectiveness and sterilization wet bag of the instruments in the two groups were compared, and the staff of the disinfection supply center were satisfied with the operation of the loading technology of the instruments in the two groups.Results:The qualified cleaning numbers of the instruments in group A and B were 37 and 39 respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 1.05, P>0.05). The qualified drying numbers in the group A and B were 29 and 38 respectively, the difference between the two groups was significant ( χ2 = 7.44, P<0.05). The effective number of loading in the group A and B were 30 cases and 39 cases respectively, the difference was significant between the two groups ( χ2 = 8.54, P<0.05). The number of sterilized wet bags in the group A and B were 6 cases and 0 cases respectively, the difference was significant between the two groups ( χ2 = 6.49, P<0.05). The satisfaction of 44 personnel in the disinfection supply center with the operation of loading technology were 36 and 43 respectively, the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( χ2 = 6.07, P<0.05). Conclusion:Loading precision micro instruments with silica gel stent can not only ensure the cleaning and sterilization quality of instruments, but also make the loading of instruments more safe and stable, greatly improve the working efficiency of instrument treatment and accelerate the turnover efficiency of instruments.

RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate cognitive function changes and their influential factors in patients with ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis.Methods:A total of 500 patients with ischemic stroke who received treatment in Yiwu Central Hospital from January 2018 to October 2019 were included in this study. They were divided into simple ischemic stroke group ( n = 200) and ischemic stroke complicated by leukoaraiosis group (combination group, n = 300). The infarct location and the degree of leukoaraiosis in the combination group were analyzed. An additional 150 volunteers who concurrently underwent the Cognitive Function Test in the same hospital were selected as controls. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Patients in the combination group were divided into cognitive impairment group (MoCA score ≥ 26 points) and non-cognitive impairment group (MoCA score < 26 points) according to MoCA score. The risk factors of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis were analyzed. Results:The scores of the MMSE, MoCA, Clock Drawing Test (CDT), Verbal Fluency Test (VFT), and Digit Span Test (DST) in the control group were (28.93 ± 2.70) points, (28.35 ± 2.74) points, (4.69 ± 1.14) points, (4.94 ± 0.42) points, and (14.33 ± 1.66) points respectively. They were (26.92 ± 2.18) points, (25.02 ± 3.52) points, (3.61 ± 1.60) points, (4.77 ± 0.46) points, and (11.73 ± 1.16) points, respectively in the simple ischemic stroke group and (24.91 ± 2.79) points, (20.70 ± 3.06) points, (2.87 ± 1.23) points, (4.07 ± 0.85) points, and (10.82 ± 0.93) points respectively in the combination group. There were significant differences in the scores of the MMSE, MoCA, CDT, VFT, and DST among the three groups ( F = 124.50, 318.50, 93.43, 112.60, 428.60, all P < 0.001). Significant differences in the scores of the MMSE, MoCA, CDT, VFT, and DST were observed between patients with different degrees of leukoaraiosis ( F = 69.09, 102.40, 20.98, 60.90, 57.00, all P < 0.001). Spearman correlation analysis results showed that the scores of the MMSE, MoCA, CDT, VFT, and DST were negatively correlated with the degree of leukoaraiosis ( r = -0.61, -0.69, -0.43, -0.56, -0.44, all P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis results showed that age, history of smoking and drinking, history of diabetes, history of stroke, and infarct location were the independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis. Education level was a protective factor against ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis. Conclusion:The degree of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis is related to the degree of leukoaraiosis. Age, history of smoking and drinking, history of diabetes, history of stroke, infarction location, and education level are the influential factors of cognitive impairment.
