Objective:To analyze the expression of tubulin-tyrosine ligase-like 12 (TTLL12) in hilar cholangiocarcinoma and its adjacent tissues, and to explore the relationship between TTLL12 and clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:The carcinoma tissues and paracancerous tissues of 45 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who had been operated in Qingdao Municipal Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020 were collected to prepare paraffin sections, including 27 males and 18 females, aged (58.8±8.5) years. The expression of TTLL12 and Ki-67 was detected by immunohistochemical staining. According to TTLL12 expression in cancer tissues, 45 patients were divided into negative group ( n=15) and positive group ( n=30). The relationship between TTLL12 positive expression and clinicopathological features such as lymph node metastasis and tumor differentiation was analyzed. The correlation between TTLL12 and Ki-67 expression in cancer tissues was analyze by Spearman correlation analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and log-rank test was used to compare the survival rate. Results:Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of TTLL12 and Ki-67 in 45 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissues. The expression of TTLL12 in hilar cholangiocarcinoma was positively correlated with that of Ki-67 (correlation coefficient was 0.601, P<0.001). The positive expression rates of TTLL12 and Ki-67 in 45 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma were 66.7% (30/45) and 77.8% (35/45), respectively, which were higher than those in adjacent tissues 11.1% (5/45) and 15.6% (7/45), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=11.25, 29.01, both P<0.001). The positive expression of TTLL12 and Ki-67 in hilar cholangiocarcinoma was correlated with lymph node metastasis and tumor differentiation (all P<0.05). The median overall survival time was 44 months in TTLL12 negative group and 21 months in TTLL12 positive group. The 5-year survival rate of TTLL12 carcinoma tissue negative expression group was 33.1%, which was better than that of TTLL12 carcinoma tissue expression positive group (18.3%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.12, P=0.013). Conclusions:The expression of TTLL12 in hilar cholangiocarcinoma was higher than that in paracancerous tissues, and there was a positive correlation between TTLL12 and Ki-67 in carcinoma tissues. The positive expression of TTLL12 is closely related to tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis of patients. TTLL12 may be a marker for predicting the prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

A group of compounds structurally related to tetrahydrocannabinol or capable of binding to cannabinoid receptors are collectively referred to as cannabinoids. Cannabinoids can be divided into plant derived cannabinoids, synthetic cannabinoids, and endogenous cannabinoids. Δ-9-THC is the only psychoactive compound in plant cannabinoids. Cannabis with Δ-9-THC>0.3% is internationally listed as a prohibited drug, while cannabis with Δ-9-THC<0.3% is industrial cannabis. Due to its low addiction and high commercial value, it is allowed to be added to food in many countries. More and more industrial cannabis foods become popular, and the detection/analysis of cannabinoid compounds in cannabis foods is particularly important; In addition to industrial cannabis, which is widely used in food, there are also various new drugs, synthetic cannabinoids, disguised as conventional food, which can cause the social problems and increase the food safety risks. This article will elaborate on the regulatory status of cannabinoid compounds in food, In order to promote the safety supervision of the domestic cannabis food.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy, safety and the risk factors affecting prognosis of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated by cladribine-based intensified conditioning regimen.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 28 patients with high-risk AML treated by cladribine in combination with busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (BuCy) intensified conditioning regimen before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University from October 2016 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The overall survival (OS) rate, cumulative progression-free survival (PFS) rate, relapse rate, non-relapse mortality (NRM), regimen related toxicity (RRT) and risk factors affecting prognosis of the patients were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The 1-year OS and PFS of the patients after implantation was (78.8±8.6)% and (79.8±8.1)%, while the 1-year cumulative relapse rate and NRM of the patients was 9.3% and 22.0%, respectively. The 1-year expected OS of MRD- high-risk patients before HSCT was 100%. The 1-year expected OS and PFS of the patients in pre-transplant relapse group was (46.9±18.7)% and (50.0±17.7)%, respectively. The incidence of I/II grade RRT was 39.3%. NO III/IV grade RRT were found in 28 patients. Multivariate analysis showed that pre-transplant relapse was the independent risk factor affecting OS and PFS of the patients.@*CONCLUSION@#The intensified conditioning regimen of cladribine in combination with BuCy can reduce the relapse rate of high-risk AML transplantation, and its RRT is mild, exhibiting good safety. MRD- high-risk patients before HSCT can achieve better transplant benefits, but the prognosis of patients with relapse before transplantation is not significantly improved. Therefore, for non-relapsed high-risk AML patients, this intensified conditioning regimen deserves to be considered.

RÉSUMÉ
In order to compare the standards for quinolone residues in animal-derived food in China and supervision among multiple regulatory sectors, we summarized and compared the current standards for the limits of quinolone residues in animal-derived food in China and sampling examination strategy among regulatory sectors. There were defects in the standard limits of lomefloxacin, pefloxacin, ofloxacin, and norfloxacin which have been banned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. In addition, the determination limits of those indexes in the supervision remain inconsistent across multiple regulatory sectors. Multiple regulatory sectors on food safety should perform further risk assessment on the above problems and formulate the standards for the limits of quinolone residues in animal-derived food that may be applicable in China.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) with different frequencies in treating migraine.Methods: Ninety patients with migraine were divided into a low frequency electroacupuncture (LF-EA) group, a high frequency electroacupuncture (HF-EA) group and a variable frequency electroacupuncture (VF-EA) group by the random number table method. Shuaigu (GB 8), Hegu (LI 4), Waiguan (TE 5), Taichong (LR 3), Taiyang (EX-HN 5), Fengchi (GB 20) and Ashi points were selected for all three groups. After achieving needling sensation (Deqi), the LF-EA group received 2 Hz continuous wave EA stimulation; the HF-EA group received 100 Hz continuous wave EA stimulation, and the VF-EA group received 2 Hz/100 Hz sparse-dense wave EA stimulation. The EA stimulation lasted for 30 min in all the three groups, once a day, 10 times as a course, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated after 2 consecutive courses of treatment. Results: After treatment, the total effective rates in the LF-EA group, HF-EA group and VF-EA group were 77.7%, 83.3% and 93.3%, respectively. The difference in total effective rate between the LF-EA and HF-EA groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05), but the total effective rate was significantly higher in the VF-EA group than in the LF-EA and HF-EA groups (both P<0.01). After treatment, the headache scores significantly decreased in all three groups (all P<0.01). The difference in headache score between the LF-EA and HF-EA groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05), while the score was significantly lower in the VF-EA group than in the LF-EA and HF-EA groups (both P<0.01). Conclusion: VF-EA (2 Hz/100 Hz), compared with LF-EA (2 Hz) and HF-EA (100 Hz), shows superior clinical efficacy in treating migraine.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the mechanism of Tojapride, a Chinese herbal formula extract, on strengthening the barrier function of esophageal epithelium in rats with reflux esophagitis (RE).@*METHODS@#Ten out of 85 SD rats were randomly selected as the sham group (n10), and 75 rats were developed a reflux esophagitis model (RE) by the esophageal and duodenal side-to-side anastomosis. Fifty successful modeling rats were divided into different medicated groups through a random number table including the model, low-, medium-, and high-dose of Tojapride as well as omeprazole groups (n10). Three doses of Tojapride [5.73, 11.46, 22.92 g/(kg•d)] and omeprazole [4.17 mg/(kg•d)] were administrated intragastrically twice daily for 3 weeks. And the rats in the sham and model groups were administered 10 mL/kg distilled water. Gastric fluid was collected and the supernatant was kept to measure for volume, pH value and acidity. Esophageal tissues were isolated to monitor the morphological changes through hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and esophageal epithelial ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expressions of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells p65 (NF-KBp65), κB kinase beta (IKKß), occludin, and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in the esophageal tissues were measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blot, respectively.@*RESULTS@#The gastric pH value in the model group was significantly lower than the sham group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, gastric pH value in the omeprazole and medium-dose of Tojapride groups were significantly higher (P<0.05). A large area of ulceration was found on the esophageal mucosa from the model rats, while varying degrees of congestion and partially visible erosion was observed in the remaining groups. Remarkable increase in cell gap width and decrease in desmosome count was seen in RE rats and the effect was reversed by Tojapride treatment. Compared with the sham group, the IKKß levels were significantly higher in the model group (P<0.05). However, the IKKß levels were down-regulated after treatment by all doses of Tojapride (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The occluding and ZO-1 levels decreased in the model group compared with the sham group (Ps0.01 or Ps0.05), while both indices were significantly up-regulated in the Tojapride-treated groups (P<0.01 or P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Tojapride could improve the pathological conditions of esophageal epithelium in RE rats. The underlying mechanisms may involve in down-regulating the IKKß expression and elevating ZO-1 and occludin expression, thereby alleviating the inflammation of the esophagus and strengthening the barrier function of the esophageal epithelium.

The cumulative OS of the patients in 1 and 3 years after transplantation was 64.9% and 48.6%, respectively, and the cumulative PFS of the patients in 1 and 3 years was 55.0% and 39.5%, respectively. The cumulative relapse rate of the patients in 1 and 3 years was 24% and 40%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that pre-transplantation relapse was the independent risk factor affecting OS (HR=2.32, 95%CI:1.17-4.62, P=0.02) and PFS (HR=3.08, 95%CI:1.61-5.90, P=0.001) of the patients; invasive fungal disease after transplantation was the independent risk factor affecting OS (HR=2.71, 95% CI:1.32-5.56, P=0.007) and PFS (HR=2.87, 95%CI=1.40-5.86, P=0.004) of the patients; FLT3 mutation was the independent risk factor affecting PFS (HR=2.13, 95%CI=1.07-4.24, P=0.03) of the patients.@*CONCLUSION@#AML-M5 is the intermediate or high-risk leukemia, and allo-HSCT can improve the survival prognosis of the patients. Pre-transplantation relapse and invasive fungal disease after transplantation are the important factors affecting the efficacy of allo-HSCT in patients with AML-M5.
