MR spectroscopy for noninvasive prediction of IDH status in low-grade glioma with 2-hydroxyglutarate integrated with glutamate and glutamine / 中华放射学杂志

Objective:To investigate the functional imaging parameters that effectively distinguish isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation status in clinical practice with long echo time (TE) point-resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) MRS.Methods:Totally 25 patients with suspected diagnosis of low grade gliomas(LGGs; Grade II) were recruited prospectively and divided into IDH mutation group and IDH wild group according to pathological results in the study. All patients were scanned with long TE PRESS MRS. In addition, IDH mutational status was determined by post-operation Sanger sequencing. The t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the differences of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), Glutamate (Glu), Glutamine (Gln) and 2HG/Glu+Gln between the IDH mutation group and the IDH wild group, then ROC curve was plotted with statistically significant indexes to obtain the efficacy of predicting IDH mutation status. Results:Of the 25 patients, 19 had IDH mutant gliomas and 6 had IDH wild-type gliomas. 2HG, Glu, Gln and 2HG/Glu+Gln in IDH mutated group were 1.42 (1.09, 1.93)mmol/L, (1.74±1.31)mmol/L, (1.68±0.66)mmol/L, 0.55 (0.28, 0.77), respectively; while the corresponding values were 0.00 (0.00, 1.30)mmol/L, (3.28±1.02)mmol/L, (2.55±1.47)mmol/L, 0.00 (0.00, 0.26) in IDH gene wild type group, respectively. The differences of 2HG, Glu, and 2HG/Glu+Gln between the two groups were statistically significant ( P values were 0.030, 0.016, 0.004, respectively). The area under the ROC curve of 2HG/Glu+Gln was the largest (0.877), and the sensitivity was the highest (84.2%). Conclusion:The integration of 2HG with Glu and Gln can effectively realize the noninvasive assessment of IDH mutation status.

The 485th case: fever of undetermined origin and hypoxemia / 中华内科杂志

A 49-year-old male was admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital presented with fever for more than half a year. The patient was diagnosed as Sjogren′s syndrome at local hospital. After oral prednisone 60 mg per day was given, the fever alleviated, but recurred after prednisone tapered to 40 mg/d. Both blood culture and stool culture were positive for Salmonella enteritidis. Antibiotics including ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cilastatin-imipenem were sequentially administrated for 4 weeks, yet not effective. Although there were not respiratory symptoms or certain abnormalities on high-resolution chest CT, arterial blood gas indicated hypoxemia. Serum lactate dehydrogenase and β2 micro-globulin were elevated, and the lung function test demonstrated significant impairment of diffusion function. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT)scan suggested that high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake was diffusely seen in both lungs. The patient was finally diagnosed as pulmonary intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) by transbronchial lung biopsy. This case aims to emphasize the differentiation diagnoses of pulmonary intravascular lymphoma from common situations.

Risk factors for postoperative septic cardiomyopathy in septic patients / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To identify the risk factors for postoperative septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) in septic patients.Methods:The perioperative medical records of septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Suzhou Municipal Hospital after surgery from January 2017 to November 2020 were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into SCM group and non-SCM group (NSCM group) according to whether or not SCM developed within 48 h after operation.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for SCM.Results:A total of 269 patients were included in this study, including 49 patients in SCM group and 220 patients in NSCM groups.Compared with group NSCM, the rate of laparoscopic surgery, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) at the time of entering ICU, the serum concentration of lactate at the time of entering ICU, the highest serum concentration of lactate, the highest serum concentration of procalcitonin, the maximum consumption of norepinephrine and the highest body temperature were increased, and the minimum platelet count was decreased in group SCM ( P<0.1). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that SOFA score at the time of entering ICU and laparoscopic surgery were the risk factors for the development of postoperative SCM in septic patients ( P<0.05). The risk for SCM was increased by 34.273 times when the SOFA score at the time of entering ICU was ≥7 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic surgery and SOFA score ≥7 at the time of entering ICU are the risk factors for the development of postoperative SCM in septic patients.

Comparative transcriptomic analysis of vascular endothelial cells after hypoxia/re-oxygenation induction based on microarray technology / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

OBJECTIVE@#To provide comprehensive data to understand mechanisms of vascular endothelial cell (VEC) response to hypoxia/re-oxygenation.@*METHODS@#Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were employed to construct hypoxia/re-oxygenation-induced VEC transcriptome profiling. Cells incubated under 5% O2, 5% CO2, and 90% N2 for 3 h followed by 95% air and 5% CO2 for 1 h were used in the hypoxia/re-oxygenation group. Those incubated only under 95% air and 5% CO2 were used in the normoxia control group.@*RESULTS@#By using a well-established microarray chip consisting of 58 339 probes, the study identified 372 differentially expressed genes. While part of the genes are known to be VEC hypoxia/re-oxygenation-related, serving as a good control, a large number of genes related to VEC hypoxia/re-oxygenation were identified for the first time. Through bioinformatic analysis of these genes, we identified that multiple pathways were involved in the reaction. Subsequently, we applied real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blot techniques to validate the microarray data. It was found that the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, like pleckstrin homology-like domain family A member 1 (PHLDA1), was also consistently up-regulated in the hypoxia/re-oxygenation group. STRING analysis found that significantly differentially expressed genes SLC38A3, SLC5A5, Lnc-SLC36A4-1, and Lnc-PLEKHJ1-1 may have physical or/and functional protein-protein interactions with PHLDA1.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The data from this study have built a foundation to develop many hypotheses to further explore the hypoxia/re-oxygenation mechanisms, an area with great clinical significance for multiple diseases.

Clinical characteristics and esophageal function tests of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease / 中华内科杂志

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease(RGERD).Methods:The patients with acid regurgitation, heartburn and extraesophageal symptoms were enrolled in the study from November 2015 to September 2017 at Peking University Third Hospital. All the subjects filled the informed consent.Questionnaire, SCL-90, SAS and SDS scales were recorded. A 24 hour pH-impedance monitoring and esophageal high resonance manometry were carried out. According to the response to proton pump inhibitor(PPI), the patients were divided into RGERD and non-RGERD(NRGERD)groups. The clinical characteristics were compared between these two groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of RGERD.Results:One hundred and nineteen patients were finally enrolled in the study including 61 RGERD (51.3%) and 58 NRGERD patients (48.7%).The body mass index (BMI) and rates of, typical GER symptoms including acid regurgitation in RGERD patients were significantly lower than those in NRGERD patients ( P<0.05).While the atypical GER symptoms such as poststernal discomfort or chest pain were more common in RGERD group ( P<0.05).RGERD patients presented less acid reflux events and lower proximal segment reflux ratio than NRGERD patients. No obvious differences were found in the manometry metrics between these two groups. The scores of somatization, depression and hostility in RGERD patients by SCL-90 scales were significantly higher than those in NRGERD patients ( P<0.05), and depression score was an independent risk factor for RGERD [ OR=3.915 (95% CI1.464-10.466), P =0.007]. Conclusions:RGERD patients present more atypical symptoms and pathological non-acid reflux.Depression is an independent risk factor for RGERD.

Study of etiology and esophageal motility characteristics of esophagogastric junction outlet obstruction patients / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the causes of the esophagogastric junction outlet obstruction (EGJOO) patients, to discuss the differences of the clinical manifestation and esophageal motility characteristics between the anatomic EGJOO (A-EGJOO) and functional EGJOO (F-EGJOO) subgroups, and to search the diagnostic values of the specific metrics for differentiating the subgroups of EGJOO patients.@*METHODS@#For the current retrospective study, all the patients who underwent the esophageal high resonance manometry test were retrospectively analyzed from Jan 2012 to Oct 2018 in Peking University Third Hospital. The EGJOO patients were enrolled in the following research. The clinical characteristics, such as symptoms and causes of the patients were studied. Then the patients were divided into two subgroups as A-EGJOO subgroup and F-EGJOO subgroup. The clinical symptoms and the main manometry metrics were compared between these two subgroups. The significant different metrics between the two groups were selected to draw receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the diagnostic values were analyzed in differentiating the A-EGJOO and F-EGJOO subgroups.@*RESULTS@#The most common symptom of EGJOO was chest pain or chest discomfort (30.63%), then the dysphagia (29.73%), and acid regurgitation/heartburn (27.03%). Non-erosive reflux disease (36.04%) was the most popular cause for EGJOO, then the reflux esophagitis (17.12%). Besides the intra-EGJOO and extra-EGJOO lesions, the connective tissue disease (6.31%) and central nervous diseases (2.70%) were found to be the etiology of EGJOO. The causes of the rest 19 EGJOO were unknown. A-EGJOO patients presented significantly higher intra bolus pressure (IBP) than that of F-EGJOO [6.80 (5.20, 9.20) mmHg vs. 5.10 (3.10, 7.60) mmHg, P=0.016]. The area under curve of IBP was 0.637. When IBP≥5.15 mmHg, the sensitivity was 78.60% and specificity 50.70% to differentiate A- or F-EGJOO.@*CONCLUSION@#Chest pain or chest discomfort was the most common symptom in EGJOO patients. Besides the intraluminal structural disorders, the extra-luminal causes were found in EGJOO patients. A-EGJOO presented higher IBP than that of F-EGJOO patients. The cutoff value of IBP to differentiate A-EGJOO from EGJOO was 5.15 mmHg with sensitivity 78.06% and specificity 50.70%. However for the low area under curve, the diagnostic value of IBP was limited.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of immunosuppressive pulse therapy in the treatment of paraquat poisoning / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

Paraquat (PQ), a highly effective herbicide, is widely used worldwide. PQ poisoning can cause multiple organ failure, in which the lung is the primary target organ. After PQ poisoning, the patient mortality rate is as high as 90%, and there is currently no specific antidote. The main clinical treatment is the use of glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide for pulse therapy, but its effectiveness and safety are still uncertain. We investigated the effectiveness and safety of immunosuppressive pulse therapy with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide to evaluate the treatment value in patients with acute PQ poisoning. This meta-analysis, combined with seven trials that enrolled a total of 426 patients, showed that immunosuppressive pulse therapy with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide for PQ poisoning significantly reduced mortality of the study group (59.3%, 134/226) compared with the control group (81.0%, 162/200). There was no significant difference of hepatitis or renal failure between the control and study groups, indicating that immunosuppressive pulse therapy was relatively safe. Several patients were reported to have leukopenia and returned to normal after 1–2 weeks without any abnormalities. Two cases of non-fatal sepsis were reported and considered to be a side effect of the immunosuppressive pulse therapy. Thus, immunosuppressive pulse therapy can efficiently reduce the mortality of PQ poisoning and it is relatively safe.

Analysis on main features and regulatory strategies of the new health service industry / 中国卫生政策研究

Compared with the traditional health service industry, the new health service industry tends to be more comprehensive and integrated, and the various factors are in a dynamic change process, which is characterized by larger scale,intensive,agglomerative and special business methods. Compared with the traditional medical and health industry supervision, its regulatory content has greatly changed in the new system. Under the new market relationship,the supply and demand sides have put forward higher requirements for supervision,and the emerging business forms are networked, fragmented and flexible. The service boundary has broken through the traditional supervision mode,and it simultaneously faces the challenge of defining the supervision responsibilities,complexity,the current tax system management,the current supervision mechanism hindrances,and the balance between the new health service industry and health quality access regulation which are undergoing an exponential trend of development. Therefore,this paper puts forward some suggestions such as the establishment of a new health service industry supervision mechanism with information supervision as the core,the realization of the transition from direct control to bottom-line supervision, the establishment of multi-sectoral organic coordination, and a coordinated supervision mechanism which involves the participation of all social subjects.

Process in targeted contrast agents for cancer imaging / 中国药科大学学报

The application of medical imaging technology is playing an important role in diagnosis and treatment of cancer.In clinic,the most commonly used imaging technology to detect cancers are X-ray computed tomo graphy,nuclide imaging,magnetic resonance imaging and near-infrared fluorescence imaging.Contrast agents could enhance imaging signals and increase the sensitivity and accuracy of cancer detection.Neverthness,most of clinically used contrast agents have problems such as short retention time and tumor targeting insufficient,which is not favorable to cancer detecting.So it is of great significance to develop tumor targeting contrast agents.Currently,targeting strategies are divided into three types:passive targeting,active targeting and activatable targeting.In this review,we conclude the recent progress and applications of tumor targeting contrast agents of different imaging modilities.Besides,the future development of tumor targeting contrast agents is also prospected.
