Objective To investigate the role of glutathione transferase in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by high-fat diet using the RNA-Seq technique in combination with gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses of differentially expressed genes. Methods A total of 14 male C57BL/6J mice were divided into control group with 6 mice and model group with 8 mice by random sampling. The mice in the control group were fed with normal diet, and those in the model group were fed with high-fat diet for 7 consecutive weeks to establish a model of NAFLD. Kits were used to measure the activities of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and the level of triglyceride (TG), and HE staining and oil red staining were used to observe liver pathology and deposition of lipid droplets. Liver tissue RNA was extracted for RNA-Seq, and genes with a fold change of ≥2.0 and a P value of 0.05). Compared with the control group, the model group had a significantly higher serum level of TG (2.02±0.50 mmol/L vs 1.00±0.29 mmol/L, t =-4.45, P =0.001). HE staining showed diffuse steatosis and ballooning degeneration in the model group, and oil red staining showed that the model group had a significant increase in orange-red lipid droplets in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes and a significantly higher grade of hepatocyte steatosis than the control group (1.88±0.64 vs 1.00±0.00, t =-3.86, P =0.006). RNA-seq results showed a total of 1367 differentially expressed genes between the two groups, among which there were 608 upregulated genes and 759 downregulated genes, and there were 17 differentially expressed GST genes between the two groups. The top 10 GST genes in terms of fold change were validated, and compared with the control group, the model group had downregulated expression of GSTa2, GSTa3, GSTa4, GSTm1, GSTm2, GSTm3, GSTm4, GSTp1, and GSTo1 and upregulated expression of GSTk1. The results of qRT-PCR were consistent with the results of sequencing. Conclusion GST affects lipid metabolism by participating in various biological processes such as steroid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and cholesterol metabolism and is closely associated with the pathogenesis of NAFLD.

Objective To observe the characteristics of C57BL/6N-Tg(1.28HBV)/Vst transgenic hepatitis B virus(HBV-Tg)model mice and analyze their transcriptomic characteristics.Methods Twenty male HBV-Tg mice were divided into an experimental group and a wild-type(control)group(n = 10 mice per group).The virological characteristics of the model mice were evaluated according to serum levels of HBV DNA,HBsAg,and HBeAg,and expression levels of HBsAg and HBcAg in liver tissue.Serum levels of alanine transaminase(ALT)and aspartate transaminase(AST),hematoxylin and eosin(HE)and Sirius red staining,and hydroxyproline(Hyp)in liver tissue were detected to evaluate the degree of liver inflammation and fibrosis.Liver tissue samples were randomly selected from three mice in each group for RNA extraction for high-throughput transcriptome sequencing.Significantly differentially expressed genes were identified using R software.Functional enrichment of differential genes was determined by Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analyses,and genes with significant differences were verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).Results ALT and AST levels were increased in the model group compared with the normal group,with the result for ALT being more significant(P<0.05).HE staining of liver tissue showed enlargement of the liver nucleus and swelling of some hepatocytes in the model group,while Sirius red staining showed a small amount of collagen deposition in the sink area and interlobule in the HBV transgenic group,in the shape of thin lines.A total of 1352 differential genes were obtained by screening(|logFC|>2 and P.adj<0.05),including 703 up-regulated and 649 down-regulated genes.KEGG analysis suggested that differential genes were mainly enriched in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR)signaling pathway,retinol metabolism,fatty acid degradation,and other pathways(P.adj<0.05).The main significantly up-regulated genes included Cyp4a10,Cyp4a14,Acot1,Acot3,and Ehhadh,and the significantly down-regulated genes included Scn5a、Apol10b、Igddc4、Cxcl1、9530077C05Rik.The trend was consistent after RT-qPCR detection(P<0.05).Conclusions HBV-Tg mice have a tendency to develop spontaneous fibrosis.Transcriptomic analysis showed that chronic hepatitis B mainly involves PPAR signaling,retinol metabolism,fatty acid degradation,drug metabolism,and other pathways.

Protective effects of Wuwei Xiaodu Drink against chronic osteomyelitis through Foxp3+CD25+CD4+ Treg cells via the IL-2/STAT5 signaling pathway / 中国天然药物

To explore the effectiveness and safety of a Chinese medicinal decoction Wuwei Xiaodu Drink (WWXDD) in inhibiting chronic osteomyelitis via regulatory T cells signaling. The effective constitutes of WWXDD and osteomyelitis related genes were screened. Target proteins were cross-validated using the Venny database. GO function and KEGG pathway analysis were performed for target proteins, while pharmacological network was constructed. The bone properties were analyzed by HE staining and the concentrations of immune factors were measured by ELISA. The expression of CTLA-4 and Foxp3 mRNA and STAT5, p-STAT5, CTLA-4 and Foxp3 protein were detected using Real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. FACS was used to analyze the percentages of cells. A total of 117 genes overlapped between 785 target genes of the active compounds of WWXDD and 912 osteomyelitis related genes. Inflammation-related genes, including IL-6, TNFα, IL-1β and IL-2 showed high connection degree in the drug-compound-disease-target network. GO function and KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 117 intersection genes mainly enriched in virus infection related pathways, immune related pathways and chemokine signaling pathway. Furthermore, the development of chronic osteomyelitis was suppressed in model rats after treatment with WWXDD. Meanwhile, the concentrations of IL-2 and CD4+CD25+Foxp3 Treg percentages together with the levels of p-STAT5, CTLA-4 and Foxp3 were also down-regulated. Furthermore, IL-2 and WWXDD drug-containing serum exhibited opposite effects on regulating IL-2, IL-10, TGF-β1, Foxp3, CTLA4 and STAT5. In addition, a STAT5 phosphorylation inhibitor suppressed the expression of Foxp3 and CTLA-4. WWXDD can treat chronic osteomyelitis through suppressing the main regulating factors of Tregs and interfere its immunodepression. Our results bring a new solution for chronic osteomyelitis.

Application of interatrial shunt device in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

@#Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe, progressive disease leading to right ventricular failure and finally death. Lung transplantation is recommended for PAH patients who do not respond to targeted drug combination therapy or World Health Organization functional class (WHO FC) Ⅲ or Ⅳ. However, only 3% of PAH patients can recieve the lung transplantation. A novel implantable interatrial shunt device (ISD) can create a relatively fixed right-to-left shunt established by balloon atrial septostomy (BAS). The device may decompress the right sided chambers, facilitate left heart filling, improve organ perfusion and reduce the likelihood of syncope, acute pulmonary hypertensive crisis and death. The systemic oxygen transport improves despite hypoxemia. Implantation is simple, feasible and safe, and the X-ray time and operation time are short. There is no severe complication or thrombosis during the mid-term follow-up of the clinical studies and the device remained patent. The syncope symptoms, six-minute walk distance, cardiac index and systemic oxygen transport improve significantly in the patients. ISD may be currently the last alternative treatment to improve symptoms and prolong survival in currently drug-resistant patients with severe PAH.

The amount of intraoperative blood loss in the endoscopy group was significantly less than that in the ultrasound group [(15.87 ± 5.65) mL vs. (33.04 ± 10.44) mL, t = 23.33, P < 0.001]. Postoperative vaginal bleeding time and menstrual re-fluid time in the endoscopy group were (3.16 ± 1.58) days and (30.37 ± 6.13) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the ultrasound group [(4.23 ± 1.83) days, (32.07 ± 4.25) days, t = 7.10, 3.69, P < 0.001]. There were no significant differences in the severity and duration of postoperative abdominal pain between the two groups (both P > 0.05). Complete abortion rate in the endoscopy group was significantly higher than that in the ultrasound group [98.85% vs. 96.15%, χ2 = 3.86, P < 0.05]. The incidence of complications in the endoscopy group was significantly lower than that in the ultrasound group (2.31% vs. 5.77%, χ2 = 4.01, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative intrauterine adhesion between the endoscopy and ultrasound groups (1.15% vs. 3.46%, P > 0.05). Conclusion:Both minimally invasive endoscopic visual abortion and B-ultrasound-guided painless abortion have painless effects. Minimally invasive endoscopic visual abortion produces less postoperative impact, leads to better postoperative recovery, and is safer than B-ultrasound-guided painless abortion.

Design and implementation for portable ultrasound-aided breast cancer screening system / 生物医学工程学杂志

Early screening is an important means to reduce breast cancer mortality. In order to solve the problem of low breast cancer screening rates caused by limited medical resources in remote and impoverished areas, this paper designs a breast cancer screening system aided with portable ultrasound Clarius. The system automatically segments the tumor area of the B-ultrasound image on the mobile terminal and uses the ultrasound radio frequency data on the cloud server to automatically classify the benign and malignant tumors. Experimental results in this study show that the accuracy of breast tumor segmentation reaches 98%, and the accuracy of benign and malignant classification reaches 82%, and the system is accurate and reliable. The system is easy to set up and operate, which is convenient for patients in remote and poor areas to carry out early breast cancer screening. It is beneficial to objectively diagnose disease, and it is the first time for the domestic breast cancer auxiliary screening system on the mobile terminal.

Experimental study on the regulation of subchondral bone plate osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand system by berberine to retard the development of osteoarthritis in rabbits / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of intra-articular berberine injection on the structural remodeling of subchondral bone plate and osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand(OPG/RANKL) system expression in rabbits with osteoarthritis(OA).@*METHODS@#Forty 12-month-old male rabbits with an average of(2.73±0.18) kg of body weight, underwent left anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT), and were divided into berberine group and placebo groups after operation, 20 rabbits in each group. The berberine group received intra-articular injection of 100 μmol/L berberine 0.3 ml every week for 6 weeks. In placebo group, the same dose of 0.9% sodium chloride injection was injected into the left knee joint cavity every week for 6 weeks. Another 20 12-month-old male rabbits, weighing (2.68±0.18) kg, underwent sham operation on the left knee joint without intra-articular injection intervention (sham operation group). On the last day of the sixth week after operation, three groups of animals were sacrificed to obtain knee joint specimens. The femoral medial condyle samples were obtained for histological evaluation of cartilage and subchondral bone, Mankin scoring system was used to evaluate articular cartilage structure. Image-Pro Plus(IPP) software was used to evaluate subchondral bone plate bone volume(BV), bone volume/total volume(BV/TV), trabecular circumference(TC), mean trabecular thickness (Tb.Th). Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerization Enzyme chain reaction(reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, RT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of OPG and RANKL in subchondral bone tissue at 6 weeks after operation.@*RESULTS@#The cartilage structure evaluation showed that the surface of cartilage tissue in the sham operation group was smooth and flat, and the safranin coloration was full in the full thickness of the cartilage;the cartilage tissue in the berberine group showed uneven surface layer, and the staining of safranin O was mildly decreased;the surface layer fibrosis was seen in placebo group, Safranin O faded significantly. The Mankin score in the berberine group was lower than that in placebo group(P<0.01), but higher than that in sham operation group(P<0.01). The structural evaluation of subchondral bone plate showed that the trabecular bone in sham-operated group was densely arranged;after berberine intervention, the trabeculae were closely arranged;the subchondral bone trabeculae in placebo group were relatively sparse, and the distance between trabeculae was wider. Subchondral bone plate IPP software evaluation showed that BV, BV/TV, TC, Tb.Th in berberine group were higher than those in placebo group(P<0.01), BV, BV/TV, TC, Tb.Th in berberine group were higher than those in placebo group(P<0.01), while lower than the sham operation group (P<0.01). PCR test results showed that the expression of OPG mRNA in the berberine group was significantly higher than that in placebo group(P<0.01), and OPG mRNA in the berberine group was lower than that in sham operation group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in mRNA expression of RANKL among three groups(P>0.05);the ratio of OPG/RANKL in berberine group was higher than that in placebo group(P<0.01), but lower than that in sham operation group(P<0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#Intra-articular injection of berberine can effectively inhibit the resorption of subchondral bone in the early stage of OA and delay the development of the disease. The specific mechanism may be that berberine maintains the balance of OPG/RANKL system by up-regulating the expression of OPG gene in subchondral bone.

Application and progress of pharmacodynamics study in bioequivalence evaluation of orally inhaled drug products / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

Orally inhaled drug products (OIDPs) play a great role in the pharmacological treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. There is an unmet clinical need for OIDPs. Pharmacodynamics-Bioequivalence studies (PD-BE) are recommended by several national guidelines as important research methods for bioequivalence study of OIDPs. It can effectively bridge the gap between in vitro studies and PK-BE studies in evaluating the efficacy and safety consistency of generic drugs with the original drugs. There are two research methods for PD-BE, using a diastolic model or an excitation model. The different methods use different metrics to evaluate efficacy. The more commonly used metrics include Forced Expiratory Volume in the First Second (FEV1), Specific Airway Conductance (sGaw), Peripheral Airway Resistance (R5-20), and stimulant concentration/dose (PC20/PD20). PD-BE studies using FEV1 as an efficacy metric is also recommended by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), EMA (European Medicines Agency) and NMPA (National Medical Products Administration) guidelines and is widely accepted by investigators. In such PD-BE studies, the trial protocols for different OIDPs drugs are relatively consistent in terms of trial design, trial data processing, and equivalence evaluation criteria, while there are detailed differences in terms of target population, single/multiple dosing, dose administration, and collection site design. This paper reviews the progress of PD-BE studies in the bioequivalence evaluation of OIDPs by combining national guidelines and PD-BE-related studies of OIDPs published in the last five years, with a view to providing important theoretical information for PD-BE studies of OIDPs.
