Modulating effects of Astragalus polysaccharide on immune disorders via gut microbiota and the TLR4/NF-κB pathway in rats with syndrome of dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

The syndrome of dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency (DSSD) is relatively common globally. Although the pathogenesis of DSSD remains unclear, evidence has suggested that the gut microbiota might play a significant role. Radix Astragali, used as both medicine and food, exerts the effects of tonifying spleen and qi. Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) comprises a macromolecule substance extracted from the dried root of Radix Astragali, which has many pharmacological functions. However, whether APS mitigates the immune disorders underlying the DSSD syndrome via regulating gut microbiota and the relevant mechanism remains unknown. Here, we used DSSD rats induced by high-fat and low-protein (HFLP) diet plus exhaustive swimming, and found that APS of moderate molecular weight increased the body weight gain and immune organ indexes, decreased the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and endotoxin, and suppressed the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-‍κB (TLR4/NF-‍κB) pathway. Moreover, a total of 27 critical genera were significantly enriched according to the linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe). APS increased the diversity of the gut microbiota and changed its composition, such as reducing the relative abundance of Pseudoflavonifractor and Paraprevotella, and increasing that of Parasutterella, Parabacteroides, Clostridium XIVb, Oscillibacter, Butyricicoccus, and Dorea. APS also elevated the contents of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Furthermore, the correlation analysis indicated that 12 critical bacteria were related to the body weight gain and immune organ indexes. In general, our study demonstrated that APS ameliorated the immune disorders in DSSD rats via modulating their gut microbiota, especially for some bacteria involving immune and inflammatory response and SCFA production, as well as the TLR4/NF-κB pathway. This study provides an insight into the function of APS as a unique potential prebiotic through exerting systemic activities in treating DSSD.

Objective:To explore expressions of interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) in the peripheral blood of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and their clinical significances.Methods:The clinical data of 78 newly diagnosed patients with DLBCL from March 2018 to March 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University were retrospectively analyzed, and 58 healthy people receiving physical examination during the same period were taken as the healthy controls. The expressions levels of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 in peripheral blood were tested by using cytometric bead array (CBA), and the association of the levels of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 with clinical characteristics, disease staging and prognosis was analyzed.Results:The expression levels of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 in DLBCL group were higher than those in the healthy control group [(171.81±70.91) pg/ml vs. (2.71±0.28) pg/ml, (47.95±13.04) pg/ml vs. (3.69±0.47) pg/ml, (38.02±10.35) pg/ml vs. (1.77±0.23) pg/ml], and differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.38, 3.39, 3.50, all P<0.05). In DLBCL group, the expression levels of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 in patient with bone marrow invasion, international prognostic index (IPI) 3-5 scores and clinical staging Ⅲ-Ⅳ were higher than those in patients with bone marrow non-invasion, IPI 1-2 scores and clinical stagingⅠ-Ⅱ(all P<0.05). There was a relationship between the expression levels of IL-6 and IL-8, IL-6 and IL-10, IL-8 and IL-10 in peripheral blood of DLBCL patients ( r2 value was 0.93, 0.89, 0.89, respectively; all P < 0.05). Among patients with high expressions of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10, the proportion of patients not receiving remission after 6 cycles of treatment in clinical staging Ⅲ-Ⅳ was higher than that of patients with high expressions of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 alone or any two of them, and differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:There is a high correlation of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 expression levels; the increasing expression levels of them may predict the later disease stage and poor prognosis for DLBCL patients.

Practice and experience of standardized management of radiation hygiene in medical institutions / 中国辐射卫生

More than 90% of artificial irradiation comes from medical irradiation. New radiation technologies are constantly emerging in the medical field, bringing benefits to patients. At the same time, the harm of medical irradiation has attracted more and more attention. There are many problems in the supervision and management of radiation health in medical institutions, such as many standards and specifications involved in radiation health in medical institutions, uneven professional ability of personnel in primary health supervision institutions, inadequate implementation of the main responsibility for the safety of radiation diagnosis and treatment in medical and health institutions, and non-standard service of radiation health technical service institutions, etc. In view of the above problems, the implementation plan of standardization of radiation health supervision, radiation diagnosis and treatment behavior, and radiation technical service behavior has been set. After the pilot operation, the effect is obvious.

Effects of apatinib on the proliferation and apoptosis of FLT3-ITD mutant acute myeloid leukemia MV4-11 and MOLM-13 cells and their mechanisms / 白血病·淋巴瘤

Objective:To explore the effects of apatinib on the proliferation and apoptosis of FLT3-ITD mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, and to explore the related mechanisms.Methods:The logarithmic growth phase FLT3-ITD mutant AML cell lines MV4-11 and MOLM-13 were treated with different concentration of apatinib for 48 hours. The cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 method. Flow cytometry was performed to examine the effect of apatinib on apoptosis. The cell mitochondrial membrane potential changes were detected by JC-1. Then the expression changes of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) pathway-related proteins were examined by Western blot.Results:Apatinib had proliferation inhibitory effects on both MV4-11 and MOLM-13 cells, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50) at 48 hours was (2.23±0.42) μmol/L and (4.08±2.62) μmol/L, respectively. After exposure to apatinib with increasing concentrations (10, 20, 30, and 40 μmol/L) for 48 h hours, the percentage of apoptotic cells was significantly increased in MV4-11 cells [(81.95±1.15)%, (88.80±0.23)%, (97.46±0.49)%, and (99.29±0.05)%] and MOLM13 cells [(47.30±0.87)%, (67.00±3.71)%, (82.60±2.89)%, and (98.06±5.34)%] in a dose-dependent manner, and the differences were statistically significant ( F = 6 915.0, P < 0.01; F = 5 385.0, P < 0.01). Detection of mitochondrial membrane potential by JC-1 method showed that after MV4-11 and MOLM-13 cells were treated by 10, 20, 30, and 40 μmol/L apatinib for 24 hours, the JC-1 aggregate/monomer mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) ratios were 0.45±0.06, 0.19±0.07, 0.12±0.03, 0.09±0.01, and 0.84±0.05, 0.66±0.13, 0.35±0.11, 0.27±0.02, which were different from the control group (0.67±0.15 and 0.97±0.42), and the differences were statistically significant ( F = 372.3, P < 0.05; F = 276.4, P < 0.05). Western blot was performed to detect different concentration of apatinib (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 μmol/L) on the MV4-11 cells for 24 hours, the results showed that apatinib could down-regulate the phosphorylation of VEGFR2, Src and Stat3 in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions:Apatinib can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in AML with FLT3-ITD mutation. The possible mechanism is related to the down-regulation of phosphorylation of VEGFR2 and its downstream targets Src and Stat3.

Effects of triptolide and BET protein inhibitor JQ1 on the proliferation and apoptosis of MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia cells and their mechanisms / 白血病·淋巴瘤

Objective:To investigate the effects of triptolide (TPL) and BET protein inhibitor JQ1 on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction of MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line MV4-11, and to explore their synergistic mechanisms.Methods:MV4-11 cells in logarithmic growth phase were treated with different concentrations (100, 200, 300, and 400 nmol/L) of JQ1, 4 nmol/L TPL or different concentrations of JQ1 combined with 4 nmol/L TPL for 48 h. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 method, apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry (FCM), mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 method, and expressions of mitochondrial apoptosis pathway-related proteins were detected by Western blot.Results:The 50% inhibitory concentration ( IC50) value of MV4-11 cells treated with JQ1 for 48 h was (283.9±10.7) nmol/L. However, 4 nmol/L TPL significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of JQ1 on proliferation of MV4-11 cells, the IC50 value of MV4-11 cells treated with JQ1 combined with TPL was (148.1±2.6) nmol/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 25.31, P = 0.029). The result of FCM assay showed that compared with the JQ1 alone group [(9.6±2.3)%, (12.6±1.4)%, (19.5±3.3)%, and (22.7±2.1)%], 4 nmol/L TPL combined with different concentrations (100, 200, 300, and 400 nmol/L) of JQ1 acted on MV4-11 cells for 48 h, the proportions of apoptotic cells were (16.4±1.9)%, (27.5±2.1)%, (32.9±3.6)%, and (35.5±3.0)%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( F = 9.25, P < 0.01). After treated with 4 nmol/L TPL and JQ1 for 12 h, the level of cell membrane potential in MV4-11 cells was significantly lower than that of JQ1 single agent group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). After treated by 4 nmol/L TPL combined with JQ1 for 24 h, the levels of anti-apoptotic proteins bcl-2 and Mcl-1 decreased, and the level of pro-apoptotic protein bax increased. Conclusion:TPL can significantly enhance the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction effects of BET protein inhibitor JQ1 on MLL-rearranged AML cells, and the mechanism may be related to enhancing the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of gemcitabine and ABT-199 on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line SUP-B15, and to explore its synergistic mechanism. Methods SUP-B15 cells in logarithmic growth phase were treated with gemcitabine (0.025 and 0.050 μmol/L), ABT-199 (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 μmol/L) or two drugs for 24 h. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 method, apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry (FCM), mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 method, and expression of mitochondrial apoptosis pathway-related protein was analyzed by Western blot. Results The 50 ％ inhibitory concentration (IC50) of SBT-B15 cells treated with ABT-199 for 24 h was (4.13±0.89) μmol/L. However, gemcitabine (0.025, 0.050 μmol/L) significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of ABT-199 on proliferation of SUP-B15 cells, the IC50 values were (2.23 ±0.73) and (1.15 ±0.45) μmol/L, respectively. The results of FCM assay showed that compared with the monotherapy group [(7.33±1.54)％], 0.025 umol/L gemcitabine combined with ABT-199 (1.0 and 2.0 μmol/L) acted on SUP-B15 cells for 24 h, the proportions of apoptotic cells were (32.42±1.45) ％and (44.33±1.86) ％, the difference was statistically significant (F=70.78, P<0.001);compared with the monotherapy group [(9.60 ±2.76) ％], 0.05 μmol/L gemcitabine combined with ABT-199 (1.0 and 2.0 μmol/L) acted on SUP-B15 cells for 24 h, the proportion of apoptotic cells increased to (47.63 ± 3.81) ％ and (58.73 ±4.33) ％, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (F= 79.21, P<0.001). The JC-1 experiment showed that treated with ABT-199 and gemcitabine for 12 h, the percentage of depolarizing cell was significantly higher than that in single agent group, and the difference was statistical significant (P<0.001). Western blot showed that the anti-apoptotic proteins bcl-2, bcl-xL and Mcl-1 decreased after treated by gemcitabine combined with ABT-199 for 12 h. Conclusion Gemcitabine could enhance the proliferation inhibition and induce apoptosis of Ph+ALL cells by ABT-199, and its mechanism may be related to down-regulation of anti-apoptosis-related proteins.

microRNAs expression profiling analysis in Hirschsprung disease by microarray / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To investigate the microRNAs(miRNAs)expression profiles in the bowels of patients with Hirschsprung disease(HSCR),and to explore the role of differentially expressed miRNAs in the pathogenesis of HSCR. Methods Twenty - seven HSCR tissues,including spastic segments and distending segments,were obtained from patients with HSCR during operation. Then miRNA microarrays were used to investigate the miRNA expression profiles in 6 HSCR specimens. Bioinformatics software was used to predict target genes of miRNA. Three miRNAs (miR - 145 - 3p,miR - 4505 and miR - 1260a)were chosen and quantificational real - time(qRT)- PCR was per-formed to verify the different expression of those three miRNAs in 27 HSCR tissues. Results The expression of 26 miRNAs in an aganglionic colon segment was found to be more than two fold greater than that in ganglionic segment tis-sues,including 19 up - regulated miRNAs and 7 down - regulated miRNAs in patients with HSCR(all P ﹤ 0. 05). Tar-get genes of miRNAs were found,such as SOX10,RET,L1CAM. qRT - PCR showed the expression of miR - 145 - 3p (1. 42 ± 0. 42,aganglionic segment vs 0. 90 ± 0. 31,ganglionic segment)and miR - 4505(1. 30 ± 0. 30,aganglionic segment vs 0. 76 ± 0. 22,ganglionic segment)displayed a statistical difference between groups(all P ﹤ 0. 001). Be-sides,the expressions of miR - 145 - 3p(1. 53 ± 0. 46,long - segment type vs 1. 16 ± 0. 12,short - segment type)and miR - 4505(1. 42 ± 0. 26,long - segment type vs 1. 00 ± 0. 16,short - segment type)showed a statistical difference be-tween different types(all P ﹤ 0. 001),but miR - 1260a(1. 11 ± 0. 25,aganglionic segment vs 0. 99 ± 0. 21,ganglionic segment)did not show differential expression between different groups(P = 0. 064). Conclusions Abnormal expression of miRNAs was found in HSCR spastic segments,suggesting that miRNAs may be involved in the pathogenesis of HSCR.

Clinical therapeutic effectiveness analysis on three surgical methods of the varicocele patients / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effectiveness of laparoscopic high ligation of spermatic vein method, modified Palomo procedure and ligating of spermatic vein via inguinal canal for varicocele. Methods All 135 patients with varicocele who underwent varicocele were divided into three groups by random number table method: laparoscopic high ligation of spermatic vein method group (group A, 50 cases), modified Palomo procedure group(group B, 70 cases) and ligating of spermatic vein via inguinal canal group (group C, 15 cases). The surgery time,the length of stay,the hospital expenses,and the quality of their semen were collected at different time points (preoperation, 1,6,12 months after operation) and assessed,the recurrence rate,the pregnant outcomes of their spouses and the testicle atrophy rate 18 months postoperation were followed-up. Results There was no significant difference in the surgery time and the length of stay among three groups (P> 0.05). But the hospital expenses in group A was significantly higher than that in group B and group C (P 0.05). During the follow-up of 18 months, the recurrence rate in semen group C (13.3% ,2/15) was significantly higher than that in group A (0) and group B (1.4%, l/70)(P 0.05). No testicle atrophy happened during follow-up. Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery and modified Palomo procedure are safe,convenient and effective surgical techniques. Modified Palomo procedure is recommended for unilateral varicocele. Laparoscopic surgery has advantages for recurrent and bilateral varicocele.

Study of perioral force exerted on the teeth in preadolescent children with anterior crossbite / 生物医学工程学杂志

30 preadolescent children with anterior crossbite were selected for the present study. Among them 15 were male and 15 children were female. Their age ranged from 8 to 12 years. The mean age was 10. 8 years. Their perioral forces were measured in the areas as following: the labial and lingual sides of mandibular and maxillar central incisors, the first premolars and molars of both sides. After analysis of the results, some conclusions were drawn as the following, the distribution of the perioral force of bilateral arch was symmetric, and there were no significant differences between genders. The values of the perioral force in the premolar and molar area were the largest. When the children were in their nature head position, the perioral force values of labial side were larger than those on the lingual side. On the lingual side of mandibular incisors negative values were found. The perioral force correlated with malocclusion. The position of the teeth decides the value of the perioral force. It has been well concluded that the forces exerted on the teeth were not the only factor that influenced teeth position. There are also other factors influencing the teeth poison. This needs further study.

There were significant difference of PLI, GI,PD,AL, teeth mobility in HB0_2 group pre-therapy and post-therapy. There were significant difference of subgingival anaerobes amounts, obligately and facultatively anaerobes sorts between pre-therapy and post-therapy. The positive rate of BPB of group HB0_2 post-therapy were reduced more than that of pre-therapy(P<0.01). Conclusion: HB0_2 has beneficial therapeutic effects on chronic and aggressive periodontitis. The mechanism of the HB0_2 therapy might inhibit the growth of subgingival obligately and facultatively anaerobes and BPB of human periodontitis, especially the obligately anaerobes and BPB in periodontal pockets.

Effect of cytotoxicity on normal cells and anti-tumor activity on tumor cells of cerium nitrate in vitro / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Objective To investigate the cytotoxicity on normal cell lines of cerium nitrate, the inhibitory effect on tumor cell lines and the effect on cell cycle in vitro. Methods The cytotoxicity of cerium nitrate on FL, L929 and inhibition rate on Hela, SGC-7901, B16, Lewis, K562, and H_(22) in vitro were detected with the method of MTT. The effect of cerium nitrate on cell cycle of SGC-7901 was studied by one-fluorescence dying method on flow cytometer. Results Cerium nitrate did not show the toxic activities on FL and L929 cell lines when the dose of cerium nitrate was it could noticeably inhibit the growth and proliferation of tumor cells nitrate inhibited the growth and proliferation of tumer cells including HeLa, SGC-7901, B16 and K562; cerium nitrate had a noticeably inhibitory effect on the growth and proliferation of H_(22) cell lines in vitro on Conclusion Cerium nitrate has the property of low toxicity and high selectivity on normal cells, but it can inhibit growth and proliferation of many kinds of tumor cell lines by adjusting cell cycle.
