Clinical features of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy and related risk factors / 临床肝胆病杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features and maternal and fetal outcomes of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy （APIP） and the risk factors for disease aggravation， and to establish a predictive model. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 52 APIP patients who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 2017 to December 2022， and according to disease severity， they were divided into mild acute pancreatitis （MAP） group with 32 patients， moderate-severe acute pancreatitis （MSAP） group with 8 patients， and severe acute pancreatitis （SAP） group with 12 patients. The logistic regression analysis was performed for the clinical data of each group，and the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves were plotted to assess the value of risk factors in predicting the severity of APIP. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups，and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparision between two groups. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups，and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for further comparision between two groups； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsOf all patients in terms of etiology， 26 （50%） had hyperlipidemic pancreatitis， 20 （38.4%） had biliary pancreatitis， and 6 （11.5%） had idiopathic pancreatitis. In terms of gestational week， 1 patient （1.9%） was in early pregnancy， 25 （48.1%） were in mid-pregnancy， and 26 （50.0%） were in late pregnancy. A total of 10 patients （19.2%） had acute respiratory distress syndrome （ARDS）， among whom 9 （90%） required respiratory support. There were significant differences between the patients with different severities of APIP in aspartate aminotransferase， alanine aminotransferase， blood urea nitrogen， blood glucose， C-reactive protein （CRP）， international normalized ratio （INR）， pneumonia， ARDS， sepsis， hepatic insufficiency， and coagulation dysfunction （all P<0.05）. The univariate analysis showed that the severity of APIP was associated with blood glucose， blood urea nitrogen， CRP， and pneumonia （all P<0.05）， and pneumonia was a risk factor for the aggravation of APIP （odds ratio=18.938， 95% confidence interval： 1.020 ‍— ‍351.747， P=0.048）. CRP， blood glucose， blood urea nitrogen， and INR used in combination had a larger area under the ROC curve than each index used alone （0.954 vs 0.778/0.796/0.721/0.801）. ConclusionPneumonia is a risk factor for the aggravation of APIP， and the combination of CRP， blood glucose， blood urea nitrogen， and INR can be used to predict the severity of APIP.

Effects of Jiawei Jingqin Decoction （加味荆芩汤） on Inflammatory and Immune Responses in Rosacea Model Mice / 中医杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanisms of Jiawei Jingqin Decoction （加味荆芩汤） in the treatment of rosacea. MethodsFifty 8-week-old female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal control group， model group， and Jiawei Jingqin Decoction low， medium， and high-dose groups， with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal control group， mice in the other groups were injected with 40μl of antimicrobial peptide LL-37 at a concentration of 320 μmol/L on the back， repeated once every 12 hours for a total of 4 injections， to induce the rosacea mouse model. The mice in the normal control group were injected with 40 μl of PBS solution at the same time. After successful modeling， the mice in the Jiawei Jingqin Decoction low， medium， and high-dose groups were orally administered Jiawei Jingqin Decoction at doses of 4.35， 8.71， and 17.42 g/（kg·d） respectively， while the mice in the normal control group and the model group were orally administered 20 ml/（kg·d） of normal saline. All groups were treated once daily for 5 days. The changes in skin lesions were observed， and the erythema area was measured and scored. Skin tissue at the injection site was collected for histopathological examination using HE staining， and the number of mast cells was detected using toluidine blue staining. The levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α） in the skin lesion tissues were measured using the ELISA method. The mRNA expression levels of key factors in the innate immune response pathway of rosacea disease mechanism， including Toll-like receptor 2 （TLR2）， downstream molecules serine protease kallikrein 5 （KLK5） and matrix metalloproteinase 9 （MMP-9）， as well as related inflammatory factors （IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α）， and adaptive immune CD4+ T cell-related factors interferon-gamma （INF-γ） mRNA were detected using RT-qPCR. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the protein expression of KLK5， MMP-9， and the number of CD4+ T-positive cells. Western blot analysis was used to determine the protein expression levels of CD4+ T cell-related factors including IFN-γ， CC chemokine receptor 5 （CCR5）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 （STAT1）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）. ResultsThe skin at the injection site on the back of mice in the normal control group appeared normal without any skin lesions or erythema， and histopathological examination showed no infiltration of inflammatory cells. The model group had significantly higher erythema scores and larger erythema areas compared to the normal control group （P＜0.05）， and histopathological examination revealed a significant infiltration of inflammatory cells， with some signs of deep connective tissue damage. Compared to the model group， the Jiawei Jingqin Decoction medium and high-dose groups showed a significant decrease in erythema scores and erythema areas （P＜0.05）， as well as a reduction in inflammatory exudates and inflammatory cell infiltration. However， the Jiawei Jingqin Decoction low-dose group did not show significant difference （P＞0.05）， but there was a slight reduction in inflammatory cell infiltration compared to the model group. When compared to the normal control group， the rosacea skin tissues of the model group showed an increase in the number of mast cells， levels of IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， mRNA expression of IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， TLR2， INF-γ， KLK5， MMP-9， protein expression of KLK5， MMP-9， and the number of CD4+ T-positive cells （P＜0.05）. Compared to the model group， the Jiawei Jingqin Decoction medium and high-dose groups showed a decrease in the number of mast cells， levels of IL-1β， mRNA expression of IL-1β， TNF-α， and the number of CD4+ T-positive cells. The Jiawei Jingqin Decoction high-dose group showed a decrease in IL-6， TNF-α levels， mRNA expression of IL-6， TLR2， INF-γ， MMP-9， protein expression of MMP-9， KLK5， and the number of CD4+ T-positive cells， as well as a decrease in IFN-γ and STAT1 protein expression （P＜0.05） compared to the Model group.

Construction of air quality health index for respiratory diseases in Urumqi / 环境与职业医学

Background Air quality health index (AQHI) is derived from exposure-response coefficients calculated from air pollution and morbidity/mortality time series, which helps to understand the overall short-term health impacts of air pollution. Objective To study the effects of common air pollutants on respiratory diseases in Urumqi and to develop an AQHI for the risk of respiratory diseases in the city. Methods The daily outpatient volume data of respiratory diseases from The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, meteorological data (daily mean temperature and daily mean relative humidity), and air pollutants [fine particulate matter (PM2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon dioxide (CO), and ozone (O3)] in Urumqi City, Xinjiang, China were collected from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021. A distributed lag nonlinear model based on quasi-Poisson distribution was constructed by time-stratified case crossover design. Adopting zero concentration of air pollutants as reference, the exposure-response coefficient (β value) was used to quantify the impact of included air pollutants on the risk of seeking medical treatment for respiratory diseases, and the AQHI was established. The association of between AQHI and the incidence of respiratory diseases and between air quality index (AQI) and the incidence of respiratory diseases was compared to evaluate the prediction effect of AQHI. Results Each 10 µg·m−3 increase in PM10, SO2, NO2, and O3 concentrations presented the highest excess risk of seeking outpatient services at 3 d cumulative lag (Lag03) and 2d cumulative lag (Lag02), with increased risks of morbidity of 0.687% (95%CI: 0.101%, 1.276%), 17.609% (95%CI: 3.253%, 33.961%), 13.344% (95%CI: 8.619%, 18.275%), and 4.921% (95%CI: 1.401%, 8.502%), respectively. There was no statistically significant PM2.5 or CO lag effect. An AQHI was constructed based on a model containing PM10, SO2, NO2, and O3, and the results showed that the excess risk of respiratory disease consultation for the whole population, different genders, ages, or seasons for each inter-quartile range increase in the AQHI was higher than the corresponding value of AQI. Conclusion PM10, SO2, NO2, and O3 impact the number of outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in Urumqi, and the constructed AQHI for the risk of respiratory diseases in Urumqi outperforms the AQI in predicting the effect of air pollution on respiratory health.

Identification and Analysis of SND1 as an Oncogene and Prognostic Biomarker for Lung Adenocarcinoma / 中国肺癌杂志

BACKGROUND@#Transcription factor (TF) can bind specific sequences that either promotes or represses the transcription of target genes, and exerts important effects on tumorigenesis, migration, invasion. Staphylococcal nuclease-containing structural domain 1 (SND1), which is a transcriptional co-activator, is considered as a promising target for tumor therapy. However, its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the role of SND1 in LUAD.@*METHODS@#Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), and Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database was obtained to explore the association between SND1 and the prognosis, as well as the immune cell infiltration, and subcellular localization in LUAD tissues. Furthermore, the functional role of SND1 in LUAD was verified in vitro. EdU assay, CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, scratch assay, Transwell assay and Western blot were performed.@*RESULTS@#SND1 was found to be upregulated and high expression of SND1 is correlated with poor prognosis of LUAD patients. In addition, SND1 was predominantly present in the cytoplasm of LUAD cells. Enrichment analysis showed that SND1 was closely associated with the cell cycle, as well as DNA replication, and chromosome segregation. Immune infiltration analysis showed that SND1 was closely associated with various immune cell populations, including T cells, B cells, cytotoxic cells and dendritic cells. In vitro studies demonstrated that silencing of SND1 inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and migration of LUAD cells. Besides, cell cycle was blocked at G1 phase by down-regulating SND1.@*CONCLUSIONS@#SND1 might be an important prognostic biomarker of LUAD and may promote LUAD cells proliferation and migration.

Research progress on intra-arterial thrombolysis for the treatment of central retinal artery occlusion / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

Central retinal artery occlusion(CRAO), also known as eye stroke, always results in acute and painless visual loss. At present, conservative treatments, such as eye massage, lowering intraocular pressure and vasodilators have little effect on reducing visual loss. Intra-arterial thrombolysis(IAT)has significantly improved prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke, thus IAT has been gradually applied in the treatment of CRAO. IAT injects fibrinolytic drugs directly into the ophthalmic artery by a microcatheter, and dissolves the emboli that block the central retinal artery to restore the blood flow of the retina. Theoretically, IAT may be effective for CRAO as what has been found for stroke, but existing clinical studies exhibited inconsistent results. This paper summarizes the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of IAT treatment in CRAO. It will also analyze related factors that affect the prognosis, putting forward potential development directions and providing insights for the further clinical application of IAT.

Role of mucociliary clearance system in respiratory diseases / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Mucociliary clearance system is the primary innate defense mechanism of the lung. It plays a vital role in protecting airways from microbes and irritants infection. Mucociliary clearance system, which is mediated by the actions of airway and submucosal gland epithelial cells, plays a critical role in a multilayered defense system via secreting fluids, electrolytes, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory proteins, and mucus onto airway surfaces. Changes in environment, drugs or diseases can lead to mucus overproduction and cilia dysfunction, which in turn decrease the rate of mucociliary clearance and enhance mucus gathering. The dysfunction of mucociliary clearance system often occurs in several respiratory diseases, such as primary ciliary dysfunction, cystic fibrosis, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which are characterized by goblet cell metaplasia, submucosal gland cell hypertrophy, mucus hypersecretion, cilia adhesion, lodging and loss, and airway obstruction.

Effect of resilience on association between job burnout and sleep disorders among workers in a petrochemical company / 环境与职业医学

Background The risks of unhealthy working mood and physical and mental health problems are high in the workers of petrochemical enterprises. Resilience is a positive psychological factor, which can provide positive ability to manage stress and job burnout, relieve tension, depression, anxiety, and other psychological discomfort. Objective To explore the moderating or mediating effect of resilience on the association between job burnout and sleep disorders in workers of petrochemical enterprises. Methods A survey with questionnaire of general information, resilience, job burnout (including exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy), and sleep disorders was conducted among 1087 workers who were selected by cluster sampling from a petrochemical enterprise in Henan Province in April 2022. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to test the differences of scores among different demographic groups. Resilience, job burnout (including exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy), and sleep disorder scores were analyzed by partial correlation analysis. The moderating effect of resilience was examined by linear regression analysis, and the mediating effect of resilience by Bootstrap method. Results A total of 861 questionnaires were collected, of which 857 were effective, and the effective rate was 99.5%. The M (P25, P75) of job burnout score was 1.24 (0.65, 2.22) and the incidence of job burnout was 36.4% (312/857); the scores [M (P25, P75)] of exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy were 1.40 (0.80, 3.00), 1.00 (0.20, 1.60), and 5.50 (4.00, 6.00), respectively. The M (P25, P75) of resilience score was 36.00 (30.00, 41.00). The M (P25, P75) of sleep disorder score was 11.00 (7.00, 15.00). The partial correlation analysis results showed that job burnout, exhaustion, and cynicism were negatively correlated with resilience (r=−0.387, −0.248, −0.247, P<0.01), and positively correlated with sleep disorders (r=0.455, 0.445, 0.357, P<0.01); professional efficacy was positively correlated with resilience (r=0.366, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with sleep disorders (r=−0.184, P<0.01); resilience was negatively correlated with sleep disorders (r=−0.349, P<0.01). The linear regression analysis results found that job burnout, exhaustion, and cynicism elevated the risk of sleep disorders (P<0.01), resilience lowered the risk of sleep disorders (P<0.01); but the relationship between job burnout (exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy) and sleep disorders was not moderated by resilience (P＞0.05). The mediating effect test showed that resilience played a partial mediating role in the associations of job burnout, exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy with sleep disorders, the mediating effects were 0.522 (95%CI: 0.283-0.777), 0.310 (95%CI: 0.188-0.453), 0.364 (95%CI: 0.228-0.524), −0.542 (95%CI: −0.741-−0.366) and the mediating effects accounted for 17.31%, 14.12%, 19.24%, and 64.72% of the total effects, respectively. Conclusion The relationship between job burnout and sleep disorders is partially mediated by resilience among workers in the selected petrochemical company, but no moderating effect is found.
