RESUMEN
Radiation-induced brain injury (RBI) is one of the complications after radiotherapy for head and neck malignant tumors, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. The pathophysiological mechanism of RBI is not completely clear. Current studies suggest that it is involved in a variety of cells in the central nervous system (CNS), whereas astrocyte, as the largest number of glial cells in the CNS, plays an important role in maintaining the CNS homeostasis and responding to CNS injury. In this article, the role of astrocytes in RBI was reviewed.

Objective:To explore the distribution characteristics of respiratory pathogens in patients with community-acquired pneumonia in Lianyungang.Methods:A total of 612 patients admitted to the second people′s Hospital of Lianyungang City because of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in 2019 were selected as subjects. Sputum or pharyngeal swabs were collected to extract nucleic acids, and 13-fold nucleic acids of respiratory pathogens were detected by PCR capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis. SPSS statistical software and GraphPad5.0 statistical mapping software were used for statistical analysis.Results:The physical examination rate of respiratory pathogens in the adult group was 82.0% in winter, 48.4% in spring, 28.0% in autumn, 20.0% in summer, χ 2=38.473, P=0.000. The positive rate of nucleic acid detection was significantly different in different seasons, among which the physical examination rate of respiratory pathogens in winter was the highest. The physical examination rate of respiratory pathogens in the juvenile group was 86.0% in spring, 76.2% in winter, 71.3% in summer and 66.7% in autumn, χ 2=7.946, P=0.047 . The positive rate of nucleic acid detection was calculated according to gender grouping. The comparison of nucleic acid positive rate between adult group and juvenile group in different seasons: 86.0% vs 48.4% in spring, χ 2=19.436, P=0.000; 71.3% vs 20.0% in summer, χ 2=22.180, P=0.000; 66.7% vs 28.0% in autumn, χ 2=13.485, P=0.000; 76.2% vs 82.0% in winter, χ 2=0.758, P=0.384. Except in winter, the detection rate of nucleic acid of pathogens in the juvenile group was significantly higher than that in the adult group. Conclusions:The nucleic acid detection rate and etiological distribution characteristics of respiratory pathogens are different in patients with community-acquired pneumonia in different seasons and different age groups. 13 kinds of multiple detection methods of respiratory pathogens can provide favorable laboratory data support for the diagnosis and treatment of clinical CAP patients.
RESUMEN
Radiation-induced brain injury is a neurological injury caused by radiation therapy of head and neck tumors. The pathogenesis is still unclear. It is hypothesized that immune cells play an important role in radiation-induced brain injury. The excessive activation of microglia in the central nervous system and the migration of peripheral immune cells into the brain collectively promote the incidence and development of radiation-induced brain injury. In this article, the immunological mechanism underlying the radiation-induced brain injury was reviewed.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the protective effect of active peptide GRGDS on rat nerve cells (PC12 cells) in oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) injury model and explore its mechanism of action. Methods PC12 cells were divided into control group, ODG group, and active peptide GRGDS treatment group. The injury model was established by simulating in vitro cerebral ischemia by oxygen and sugar deprivation. MTT and flow cytometry were used to detect apoptosis after oxygen-glucose deprivation. ELISA method was used to detect the changes of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β in PC12 cell supernatant after oxygen-glucose deprivation. Western blot was used to detect the expression of apoptosis pathway-related proteins. Results The results of MTT and flow cytometry showed that the active peptide GRGDS significantly reduced the apoptosis of PC12 cells after oxygen glucose deprivation (P<0.05). ELISA test results showed that the active peptide GRGDS significantly reduced the content of TNF-α and IL-1β in the supernatant of PC12 cells after oxygen-glucose deprivation. (P<0.05). Western blot results showed that the active peptide GRGDS significantly reduced the expression levels of p-JNK, Bax, and cleaved caspase 3 in PC12 cells mediated by oxygen-glucose deprivation injury (P <0.01). Conclusion The active peptide GRGDS has protective effect on PC12 cells damaged by oxygen and glucose deprivation. The mechanism may be related to anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects.
RESUMEN
Objective:To study the clinical value of blood neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in the early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of late-onset sepsis in very/extremely low birth weight infants (VLBWI/ELBWI).Method:From January 2017 to December 2019, VLBWI/ELBWI older than 3 days admitted to NICU of our hospital were prospectively enrolled in the study. The infants were assigned into suspected-sepsis group and non-infection (control) group according to their clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators. In the suspected-sepsis group, complete blood count, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) and blood culture were examined on the 1st day of disease onset and blood NGAL was examined on the 1st day of disease onset, 3rd day of treatment and 2nd week of treatment. In the control group, blood NGAL was examined at the time of enrollment. The suspected-sepsis group was later assigned into sepsis group and non-sepsis infection group and the sepsis group was further assigned into mild sepsis group and severe sepsis group according to the severity of the disease. Blood NGAL levels between the sepsis group and the non-sepsis infection group on the 1st day of onset and the control group were compared. The dynamic changes of NGAL in the sepsis group and the non-sepsis infection group at different time points were compared and analyzed. ROC curve of NGAL level on the first day of onset predicting sepsis was drawn.Result:(1) On the 1st day of disease, the sepsis group (n=106) had higher level of NGAL compared with non-sepsis infection group (n=121) and the control group (n=84). Non-sepsis infection group had significantly higher level of NGAL compared with the control group ( P<0.05). (2) A gradual decrease of NGAL was found in both sepsis and non-sepsis infection group. Significantly higher level of NGAL in sepsis group was found comparing with non-sepsis infection group at different time points ( P<0.05). (3) For blood culture positive and negative patients in the sepsis group, no statistically significant differences existed in NGAL,CRP, PCT levels on the 1st day of disease onset ( P>0.05).(4) The NGAL level in the severe sepsis group was significantly higher than the mild sepsis group on the 1st day of disease onset ( P<0.05). However,CRP and PCT showed no differences between the two groups. (5) On the 1st day of disease onset, to establish the diagnosis of sepsis, the area under the ROC curve of NGAL level was 0.852. The sensitivity and specificity of cut-off value 205.25 ng/ml were 84.0% and 66.9%, respectively. Conclusion:The serum NGAL level is elevated in VLBWI/ELBWI with late-onset sepsis. The more severe the sepsis,the more elevated the NGAL level. NGAL has certain predictive value for late onset sepsis in VLBWI/ELBWI.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the postoperative complications of ex vivo liver resection combined with autologous liver transplantation in the treatment of end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis at high altitude and related prevention and treatment strategies. Methods Surgical data and follow-up data were collected from 11 patients with end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis who underwent autologous liver transplantation in Qinghai People's Hospital from January 2013 to March 2019, and intraoperative and postoperative conditions were analyzed. Results All 11 patients underwent autologous liver transplantation successfully, without intraoperative death, among whom 2(18.18%) underwent hemi-extracorporeal hepatectomy and 9 (81.82%) underwent total extracorporeal hepatectomy. For the reconstruction of the retrohepatic inferior vena cava, 2 patients (18.18%) underwent reconstruction with the autologous great saphenous vein, 4 patients (36.36%) underwent reconstruction with artificial vessels, and the autologous retrohepatic inferior vena cava was preserved in 5 patients (45.45%). For biliary reconstruction, 8 patients (72.73%) underwent choledochoenterostomy and 3 (27.27%) underwent choledochocholedochostomy. The main postoperative complications of the 11 patients included bleeding in 2 patients (18.18%), bile leakage and abdominal infection in 4 patients (36.36%), bilioenteric anastomotic stenosis in 1 patient (9.09%), thrombus in 2 patients (18.18%), pulmonary infection and pleural effusion in 2 patients (18.18%), and echinococcosis recurrence in 1 patient (9.09%). Of all 11 patients, 2 (18.18%) died during the perioperative period, and the other 9 patients (81.82%) were improved and discharged. Conclusion Bleeding, biliary complications, and infection are the main causes of death in patients undergoing autologous liver transplantation at high altitude. An accurate understanding of surgical indication, careful multidisciplinary evaluation before surgery, superb operation during surgery, standardized surgical procedures, and fine perioperative management are the key to reducing perioperative mortality, avoiding and reducing postoperative complications, and achieving good long-term survival in patients undergoing autologous liver transplantation.

RESUMEN
Objective To study the protective effect of stress-associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1 (SERP1)on glucose and oxygen deprivation-induced injury in cardiomyocytes.Methods Gene expression was analyzed in the public database Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)and screened for any difference in gene expression in myocardial tissues between the control group and the ischemiareperfusion group(IR group).Rat H9C2 cardiomyocytes were cultured and a myocardial cell injury model was established by oxygen glucose deprivation(OGD).The effect of SERP1 expression on cell viability,apoptosis and the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway in cardiomyocytes were examined.Results Western blot results showed that the expression of SERP1 in myocardial tissues decreased in the IR group,compared with the control group(t =6.83,P =0.006).Oxygen and glucose deprivation induced decreased levels of SERP1 mRNA and protein expression in H9C2 cardiomyocytes in a timedependent manner (F =8.50 and 15.70,P =0.007 and 0.001).In addition,oxygen and glucose deprivation led to decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis,while exogenous addition of SERP1 had protective effects in H9C2 cardiomyocytes by promoting cell viability and reduced cell apoptosis.The lncRNA microarray and real-time PCR results showed that SERP1 could inhibit the expression of lncRNA CDKN2B-AS1 and further increase the phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3,leading to decreased expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers GRP78 and CHOP(all P＜ 0.05).Conclusions SERP1 can inhibit cardiomyocyte injury induced by glucose deprivation,and the underlying molecular mechanism may be related to the inhibition of CDKN2B-AS1 expression,promotion of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,and suppression of endoplasmic reticulum stress.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the protective effect of chemokine C-C motif ligand 6 (CCL6) on glucose-oxygen deprivation induced injury in cardiomyocytes and its possible molecular mechanism.Methods Gene expression was analyzed in the public database Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and gene expression of analyzed for myocardial tissue was analyzed gene expression in the sham group and the ischemia-reperfusion group (IR group).Rat H9C2 cardiomyocytes were cultured in vitro,and myocardial cell injury model was established by oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD).Cell viability was detected by MTT assay;apoptosis was determined by Annex V/PI double staining;the expression of related genes was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.Results Compared with the sham group,transcriptome analysis and real-time PCR showed that the expression of CCL6 in the myocardial tissue of the IR group was significantly decreased (P＜0.01).Oxygen glucose deprivation induced a decrease in CCL6 expression levels in H9C2 cardiomyocytes in a time-dependent manner.In addition,oxygen glucose deprivation leads to decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis;while addition of CCL6 promotes cell viability and reduces apoptosis.The IncRNA microarray and real-time PCR showed that CCL6 treatment of cardiomyocytes resulted in a significant decrease in the expression of hicRNA IGF2-AS and further increased the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK-3β.Conclusion CCL6 can inhibit cardiomyocyte injury induced by glucose deprivation,and its molecular mechanism may be related to inhibition of IGF2-AS and enhancement of Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway.

RESUMEN
Objective To observe the indexes of liver injury and the expression of inflammation-related factor interleukin-10 (IL-10) in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and to discuss the correlation between the expression of IL-10 and the related factors of liver injury in SAP rats at different altitudes. Methods 280 male Wistar rats with SPF grade aged 5 to 6 months were divided into four groups according to random number table with 70 rats in each group, and the rats were placed in different altitudes such as Xi'an (at an altitude of 1 027 m), Xining (at an altitude of 2 260 m), Xinghai (at an altitude of 3 300 m) and Wenquan (at an altitude of 3 950 m). The rats in each altitude were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham group, n = 10) and SAP 1, 6, 12, 24 hours groups (all n = 15). SAP rat model was reproduced by injecting sodium cholate into the posterior membrane of pancreas, and the rats of Sham group were only turned pancreas over several times after opening the abdomen and then closed the abdomen. The rats were sacrificed at the corresponding time points after model reproduction in SAP groups, and rats in Sham group were sacrificed at 6 hours after sham operation. At the same time, the abdominal aorta blood was harvested, and the contents of serum amylase (AMY), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined by automatic biochemical analyzer. Liver tissues were harvested, and the expression level of IL-10 was determined by immunohistochemistry. Pancreatic tissues were harvested, and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the pathological changes under light microscopy. The correlations among the indicators were analyzed by Pearson correlation. Results At different altitudes, no significant abnormality was found in the pancreas of Sham group, but significant pathological changes were found in the pancreas of all SAP groups, mainly manifested as pancreatic acinar swelling, inflammatory cell infiltration, vascular congestion and hemorrhage, acinar cell degeneration and dissolution, changes in glandular lobule structure, peri-pancreatic fat necrosis, and continuous aggravation with the increasing of time and altitude. At the same altitude, the pancreatic pathology score, the serum AMY, ALT and AST levels, and the hepatic IL-10 expression were all significantly increased in all the SAP groups as compared with those in Sham group, and they were continuously increased with time. In Sham group, there was no statistically significant difference in pancreatic pathology score, AMY, ALT, AST, or IL-10 level among different altitudes. At the corresponding time point after model reproduction, the pancreatic pathology score, AMY, ALT, AST and IL-10 levels in the SAP groups were also shown a continuous rising tendency with altitude increase, and the differences in above parameters of SAP 24 hours group in Wenquan area were statistically significant as compared with those of Sham group [pathology score: 11.06±0.94 vs. 0.23±0.15, AMY (mmol/L): 2 706.6±208.3 vs. 336.5±94.3, ALT (U/L): 267.00±5.37 vs. 52.00±4.84, AST (U/L): 465.88±11.02 vs. 139.00±11.61, IL-10 (A value): 0.579±0.006 vs. 0.281±0.006, all P < 0.05]. It was shown by correlation analysis that IL-10 of SAP rats at different altitudes was positively correlated with pancreatic pathology score, AMY, ALT and AST, the correlation coefficient (r value) between IL-10 and the above indicators in the Wenquan area with the highest altitude was 0.959, 0.928, 0.977, 0.983, respectively (all P < 0.01). Conclusions The severity of SAP rats was positively correlated with altitude. IL-10 was involved in the pathological expression process of SAP liver damage, and its expression level was positively correlated with altitude and the degree of SAP liver damage.

Objective To explore the correlation between the levels of liver fibrosis and liver fibrosis biochemical parameters of advanced schistosomiasis patients. Methods A total of 48 advanced schistosomiasis patients were investigated and they were examined by the liver biopsy and B ultrasound imaging. At the same time,the liver fibrosis biochemical parameters,including glu-tamine transpeptidase(GGT),alkaline phosphatase(AKP),procollagenⅢ(PC-Ⅲ),collagen typeⅣ(Ⅳ-C),hyaluronic acid (HA)and laminin(LN),were detected. The liver fibrosis levels were classified by the liver biopsy and B ultrasound imaging,re-spectively,and the correlation between the levels of liver fibrosis and liver fibrosis biochemical parameters were analyzed statisti-cally. Results There was no correlation between the liver fibrosis levels classified by the liver biopsy and all the liver fibrosis bio-chemical parameters;there was a weak correlation between the liver fibrosis levels classified by the B ultrasound imaging and GGT,AKP,LN and PC-Ⅲ,respectively;there was a significant correlation between the liver fibrosis levels classified by the B ul-trasound imaging and HA andⅣ-C,respectively. Conclusions B ultrasound examination is a better,noninvasive fibrosis in-spection method. Liver fibrosis biochemical parameters combined with the B ultrasound examination may better reflect the overall condition of liver fibrosis.
RESUMEN
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) resides in a relatively hypoxia niche (volume fraction 1％～7％)compared to normoxia (20％).MSC cultured in hypoxia condition shows different biological features from those in normoxia condition.Hypoxia inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1 α),as one of main transcription factors in hypoxia,participates in the regulation of cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis,glycolysis and angiogenesis.Recent researches show that HIF-lα also plays an important role in regulating the survival,differentiation and migration of MSC.It turns out that hypoxia can improve survival and migration of MSC,enhance chondrogenesis but inhibit adipogenesis through HIF-lα and its downstream genes.However,whether hypoxia promotes or impedes osteogenesis remains controversial.Such differences can be caused by variances of tissue origination,oxygen concentration and culture condition.The comparison of different researches should be based on the same experiment condition.This review focuses on the influence of hypoxia on proliferation,apoptosis,differentiation and migration of MSC.
