Objective:To evaluate carotid plaque neovascularization and vessel stability using superb microvascular imaging.Methods:Seventy-two patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques received treatment in The Seventh People's Hospital of Wenzhou from June 2018 to June 2020 and were included in this study. A total of 100 carotid plaques were surgically removed from these patients. These patients were subject to superb microvascular imaging and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography before carotid plaques were removed. Taking pathological results of carotid plaque as a gold standard, we investigated the efficacy of superb microvascular imaging versus contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in detecting carotid plaque neovascularization and vessel stability and evaluated the detection consistency of each imaging method with the gold standard. Results:The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of superb microvascular imaging in detecting carotid plaque neovascularization were 93.24%, 92.31%, and 93.00%, and they were 95.96%, 96.15%, and 96.00% for contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. The Kappa values of consistency of agreement on carotid plaque neovascularization identification were 0.825 and 0.923 for superb microvascular imaging and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of superb microvascular imaging in detecting vessel stability were 94.74%, 95.35%, and 95.00%, respectively and they were 96.49%, 97.67%, and 97.00%, respectively for contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. The Kappa values of consistency of agreement on vessel stability evaluation were 0.898 and 0.939 for superb microvascular imaging and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, respectively.Conclusion:Superb microvascular imaging has equivalent efficacy in detecting carotid plaque neovascularization and vessel stability to contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. Superb microvascular imaging is non-invasive, provides ease in operation, and is worthy of clinical promotion.

ObjectiveTo analyze the differential expression of microRNA (miRNA) and its significance in patients with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).MethodsTwenty-five patients diagnosed with NEC with Bell stage≥Ⅱ, and 25 non-NEC patients as control group admitted to Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between October 2014 and November 2015 were collected. White blood cells were extracted from the peripheral blood. Five samples were selected randomly each from NEC group and control group, and sequenced by second-generation Illumina high-throughput sequencing, screened for differentially expressed miRNA and analyzed for target genes prediction and biological function. The rest samples of the two groups were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction technology (RT-qPCR), the results were used to validate the results of high-throughput sequencing. Differentially expressed miRNA in the two groups of data was analyzed using DEGseq software.P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.P<0.01,q<0.001 and丨Log2 Ratio丨≥1 were taken as criteria for screening the differential expression. The differential expressions of miRNA in NEC group and control group were analyzed by cluster analysis using MeV4.6 software.ResultsA total of 482 miRNAs were differentially expressed in the two groups, with significant difference (P<0.05). Among them, 126 were known miRNAs with significantly differential expression in the two groups, with 58 being up-regulated and 68 being down-regulated. The results of up-regulated miRNAs (hsa-miR-223-5p,-183-3p,-222-5p) and down-regulated miRNAs (hsa-miR-23b-5p,-150-5p,-146a-3p,-1298-5p) were confirmed to be consistent with the results of sequencing. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the target genes with differential miRNA expression mainly involved Toll-like receptor signal transduction pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, JAK-STAT and other signal transduction pathways.ConclusionsThere are significantly differential expressions of miRNAs in peripheral white blood cells of NEC neonates. These miRNs may be involved in the occurrence and development of NEC via adjusting different target genes to regulate the signal pathway.

BACKGROUND:Antisense gene therapy offers immense promise for the management of human cerebral arteriovenous malformation through inhibiting expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiogenesis in endothelial cells.OBJECTIVE: To observe the inhibitory effect of vascular endothelial growth factor-antisense oligonucleotide (VEGF-ASODN) on the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells in human cerebral arteriovenous malformation.DESIGN: Observational contrast study.SETTING: Department of Neurosurgery, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Neuromedical Institute, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from August to December 2006. A total of 18 patients with human cerebral arteriovenous malformation were selected from Department of Neurosurgery, Shenyang General Hospital of Military Area Command of Chinese PLA. There were 12 males and 6 females and their mean age was 40 years. Cerebral arteriovenous malformation was classified based on Spetzler grade: grade Ⅱ (n =10) and grade Ⅲ (n=8). All cases were diagnosed with whole cerebral angiography before operation and they provided the confirmed consent. Main reagents were detailed as follows: endothelial cell growth supplements (ECGS, Sigma, USA), 391 DNA automatic synthetic device (Shanghai Shenggong Liyong Company, PE, USA), anaerobic incubator (DY-1, Zhejiang), human vascular endothelial growth factor enzyme-linked kit (TBD Company, Beijing), 96E enzyme-labeling device (ERMA, INC), cell cycle analytical reagent kit (BD Company), and flow cytometer (FACS Calibur, BD Company).METHODS: ①Experimental procedure: Tissue explants adherent method was used to culture vascular endothelial cells from human cerebral arteriovenous malformation. The third generated cells were used and randomly divided into antisense group, sense group and control group with four bottles of cells in each group. Sense and antisense phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides of artificial vascular endothelial growth factor selected from the antisense group and the sense group were covered with positive liposomes, and then they were used to transfected vascular endothelial cells cultured from human cerebral arteriovenous malformation; however, cells in the control group were not dealt with any treatments. Cells in the three groups were incubated in anaerobic incubator (including 0.95 volume fraction of N2 and 0.05 volume fraction of CO2) at 37 ℃ for 2, 4 and 8 hours, respectively. ② Experimental evaluation: Cell cycles were measured, protein content of vascular endothelial growth factor was measured, and mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor was also detected.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of mRNA and protein of vascular endothelial growth factor and proliferation exponent at different times of hypoxia.RESULTS: ①mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor: At 2, 4 and 8 hours after hypoxia, mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor was higher than that before hypoxia in the control group (P ＜ 0.05);however, mRNA expression was lower in the antisense group than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). ② Protein content of vascular endothelial growth factor: At 2, 4 and 8 hours after hypoxia, protein content of vascular endothelial growth factor was higher than that before hypoxia in the control group (P ＜ 0.05); however, protein content was lower in the antisense group than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). ③ Proliferation exponent: At 4 and 8 hours after hypoxia,proliferation exponent of endothelial cells cultured from human cerebral arteriovenous malformation was higher than that before hypoxia in the control group (P ＜ 0.05); however, proliferation exponent was lower in the antisense group than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Hypoxia may induce gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in endothelial cells at the transcriptional level. Antisense vascular endothelial growth factor can obviously inhibit gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor cultured from human cerebral arteriovenous malformation and proliferation under hypoxic conditions.
