ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide （DOP）on CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis（HF）and its mechanism. MethodsA total of 56 male SD rats were randomly divided into seven groups： normal group（NG），model group（MG），colchicine group（CG， 0.1 mg/kg）， Fuzheng Huayu group（FG， 0.45 g/kg），low-dose DOP group（LDG， 0.05 g/kg），middle-dose DOP group（MDG， 0.1 g/kg）and high-dose DOP group（HDG，0.2 g/kg），with 8 rats in each group. HF rat model was established by subcutaneous injection with 40% CCl4 olive oil mixture， every 3-day for 10 weeks. At the end of the sixth week， the drug groups were treated with colchicine， Fuzheng Huayu and DOP solution by gavage respectively， once a day for 4 weeks. NG and MG groups were similarly handled with an equal amount of 0.9 % normal saline. Liver histopathology was detected using hematoxylin-eosin （HE）， Masson and Sirius red staining； blood biochemistry was tested for liver function and four indicators of HF； RT-qPCR and Western Blot were used to measure the expression of α-SMA， Col-I， E-cadherin， and ZEB1 genes and proteins in the liver tissues of rats， respectively. ResultsHE， Masson， and Sirius red staining showed that the liver tissue of MG rats had typical pathologic features of HF， and the degree of HF was alleviated in LDG， MDG， and HDG rats， respectively. Liver function test results showed that the serum AST， TBIL， and AKP levels were significantly lower in LDG， MDG， and HDG， compared with those of the MG （P < 0.05 or < 0.01）. Meanwhile， ALT levels in serum deceased remarkably except in LDG （P < 0.05 or < 0.01）. The four results of HF showed that the serum HA， LN， PC-Ⅲ， and COL-Ⅳ levels in LDG， MDG， and HDG rats were significantly decreased compared with those of the MG （P < 0.05 or < 0.01）. The relative expressions of α-SMA， COL-I， and ZEB1 genes and proteins were significantly decreased in the liver tissues of LDG， MDG， and HDG （P < 0.05 or < 0.01）， and the relative expression of E-cadherin gene and protein increased （P < 0.05 or < 0.01）. In addition， the expressions of HA， α-SMA， COL-I， ZEB1 and E-cadherin were dependent on the dose of DOP. ConclusionDOP alleviated the degree of CCl4 induced HF in rats by inhibiting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in liver tissue.

Inhibitory effect of RMT1-10-induced tolerogenic dendritic cells in vitro on high-risk corneal allograft rejection in mice and its mechanism / 中华实验眼科杂志

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of RMT1-10-induced tolerogenic dendritic cells (Tol-DCs) in vitro on high-risk corneal allograft rejection in mice and its mechanism. Methods:One hundred SPF male BALB/c mice and fifty SPF male C57BL/6 mice were selected.Bone marrow-derived immature dendritic cells (imDCs) obtained from C57BL/6 mice were divided into imDCs group, mature dentritic cells (mDCs) group, RMT1-10 group, and IgG isotype control group.The imDCs in the four groups were cultured with no intervention, lipopolysaccharide, RMT1-10 and lipopolysaccharide, or IgG isotype antibody and lipopolysaccharide for 7 days according to grouping.The expression levels of different phenotypes of DCs including CD11c, CD80, CD86, major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-Ⅱ, T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing molecule (Tim)-4 and CD103 in the four groups were detected by flow cytometry.The concentrations of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the DCs supernatants were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.A mixed lymphocyte culture system was established, and the stimulation index (SI) of CD4 + T cell proliferation stimulated with DCs was detected by cell counting kit 8 method.Corneal neovascularization was induced by corneal stromal suture in BALB/c mice, and the 80 mice with neovascularization in 4 quadrants growing into the middle and peripheral cornea were used as recipients.The recipient mice were randomized into imDCs group, mDCs group, RMT1-10 group, and IgG isotype control group using the random number table method, with 20 mice in each group.An injection of corresponding DCs (1×10 6 cells/100 μl) was administered to the recipient mice via the tail vein according to grouping.At 7 days following the injection, C57BL/6 mice were used as donors and penetrating keratoplasty was performed.Within one month after the operation, signs of corneal grafts rejection, including opacity, edema and neovascularization, were observed by slit lamp biomicroscopy and scored every day.At 21 days after the operation, 5 recipients selected from each group were subcutaneously injected with naive C57BL/6 splenocytes (1×10 6 cells/100 μl) behind the ear.The delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) was evaluated by ear swelling at 24 hours after the subcutaneous injection.The use and care of experimental animals complied with the Regulations on the Management of Experimental Animals promulgated by the State Science and Technology Commission.This study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University (No.CYFYLL2020055). Results:Compared with mDCs group, the expressions of CD80, CD86 and MHC-Ⅱ, and the percentage of Tim-4-positive cells in CD11c-positive cells were significantly decreased in RMT1-10 group, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). The percentage of Tim-4-positive cells were significantly decreased in RMT1-10 group than imDCs group, and the percentage of CD103-positive cells in RMT1-10 group was significantly higher than imDCs group, mDCs group and IgG isotype control group (all at P<0.001). The concentrations of IL-10 and TGF-β in the cell culture supernatant of RMT1-10 group were significantly higher than those of the other three groups, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the SI of CD4 + T cell proliferation simulated by DCs ( Fgroup=1 833.00, P<0.001; Fratio=230.40, P<0.001; Finteraction=3.06, P=0.01). The SI of DCs/CD4 + T cells ratio at 1∶5, 1∶10, 1∶20 and 1∶40 were all significantly lower in imDCs group than mDCs group, and were all significantly lower in RMT1-10 group than imDCs group (all at P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in corneal graft survival curve among various groups ( χ2=77.69, P<0.001). The survival rate of RMT1-10 group was significantly higher than that of imDCs group ( χ2=9.74, P=0.002), and the survival rate of imDCs group was significantly higher than that of mDCs group ( χ2=31.02, P<0.001). The ear swelling of recipient mice of positive control group, mDCs group, IgG isotype control group, imDCs group and RMT1-10 group was (503.6±17.2), (475.7±17.6), (456.2±18.8), (225.2±39.4), (118.1±12.6), and (106.4±7.4) μm, with a statistically significant difference among them ( F=377.10, P<0.001). The mice ear swelling was more serious in positive control group than mDCs group, more serious in IgG isotype control group than imDCs group, and more serious in imDCs group than RMT1-10 group (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:RMT1-10 can inhibit the rejection of high-risk corneal transplantation in mice, the mechanism of which may be attributed to inducing imDCs to transform into Tol-DCs in vitro and up-regulating the expression of TGF-β and IL-10, which promotes antigen-specific immune tolerance after adoptive transfer, thereby indirectly prolongs the survival of corneal grafts.

Follow-up study of fetal cardiac birth defects after prenatal diagnosis and graded counseling / 中华妇产科杂志

Objective:To explore accurate prenatal diagnosis, full-coverage graded counseling and follow-up for the fetus with cardiac birth defects (CBD).Methods:CBD fetus diagnosed prenatal by echocardiography from January 2018 to December 2020 in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled. Fetal CBD was graded (Ⅰ-Ⅵ) according to prognosis and possible operation time after birth, and the classification criteria and common diseases included were proposed. After the prenatal grading counseling, the outcome of the fetus was followed-up. The induced labor rate, live birth rate, prenatal and postnatal ultrasound diagnosis coincidence rate and other indicators were calculated. The disease composition ratio, prognosis of fetus with different grades and the outcome of integrated treatment were analyzed.Results:The detection rate of fetal CBD was up to 16.2% (1 971/12 188), 30 cases of which were excluded. A total of 1 941 cases were included in this study, including 196 cases (10.1%) of gradeⅠ, 433 cases (22.3%) of gradeⅡ, 615 cases (31.7%) of grade Ⅲ, 261 cases (13.4%) of grade Ⅳ, 388 cases (20.0%) of gradeⅤ, 48 cases (2.5%) of grade Ⅵ. Grade Ⅱ and gradeⅢ (the operation time was within 1 year after birth) accounted for 54.0% (1 048/1 941). The distribution of some diseases in different grades had obvious proportion advantage, which was representative. Among 1 747 CBD fetus, 736 cases (induced labor rate 42.1%) chose to terminate pregnancy due to CBD. Of the 1 010 live births, 975 cases (96.5%) had the same prenatal and postnatal diagnosis, 3 cases were missed diagnosis and 32 cases were misdiagnosed. The diagnostic accuracy of live births with severe and complex congenital heart disease was 383 out of 389 (98.5%). A total of 258 cases have received surgery or intervention. The age at the time of surgery or intervention was different among grades（ χ2 =47.3， P<0.001）. With the improvement of prognosis from gradeⅠ to Ⅴ, the live birth rate increased and the induced labor rate decreased accordingly; the difference between grades was significant（ χ2 =623.6， P<0.001）. Conclusions:Prenatal diagnosis and graded counseling is important in the integrated model. Fetal CBD grading could refine post-natal treatment strategies, guide delivery decisions and become an evaluation standard.

Serum mitochondrial tsRNA serves as a novel biomarker for hepatocarcinoma diagnosis / 医学前沿

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which makes up the majority of liver cancer, is induced by the infection of hepatitis B/C virus. Biomarkers are needed to facilitate the early detection of HCC, which is often diagnosed too late for effective therapy. The tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) play vital roles in tumorigenesis and are stable in circulation. However, the diagnostic values and biological functions of circulating tsRNAs, especially for HCC, are still unknown. In this study, we first utilized RNA sequencing followed by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR to analyze tsRNA signatures in HCC serum. We identified tRF-Gln-TTG-006, which was remarkably upregulated in HCC serum (training cohort: 24 HCC patients vs. 24 healthy controls). In the validation stage, we found that tRF-Gln-TTG-006 signature could distinguish HCC cases from healthy subjects with high sensitivity (80.4%) and specificity (79.4%) even in the early stage (Stage I: sensitivity, 79.0%; specificity, 74.8%; 155 healthy controls vs. 153 HCC patients from two cohorts). Moreover, in vitro studies indicated that circulating tRF-Gln-TTG-006 was released from tumor cells, and its biological function was predicted by bioinformatics assay and validated by colony formation and apoptosis assays. In summary, our study demonstrated that serum tsRNA signature may serve as a novel biomarker of HCC.

Accuracy of variation of carotid artery hemodynamic parameters combined with passive leg raising test in predicting SHS after spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean section / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of variation of carotid artery hemodynamic parameters combined with passive leg raising (PLR) test in predicting supine hypotension syndrome (SHS) after spinal anesthesia in the patients undergoing cesarean section.Methods:Sixty-four parturients who were at full term with a singleton fetus, at 37-42 weeks of gestation, aged 18-40 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing elective cesarean section, were enrolled in this study.The variation of carotid artery diameter (ΔD), variation of velocity time integral (ΔVTI), and variation of carotid blood flow (ΔCBF) before and after PLR were measured using ultrasound.Patients were divided into SHS group and non-SHS group (NSHS group) according to whether SHS after spinal anesthesia occurred.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between ΔD, ΔVTI, ΔCBF and systolic blood pressure (SBP) after spinal anesthesia.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the accuracy of ΔD, ΔVTI and ΔCBF in predicting SHS. Results:ΔVTI was negatively correlated with SBP after spinal anesthesia ( r=-0.539, P<0.01), ΔCBF was negatively correlated with SBP after spinal anesthesia ( r=-0.475, P<0.05), and ΔD had no correlation with SBP after spinal anesthesia in group SHS ( P>0.05). The critical values of ΔCBF, ΔVTI, and ΔD combined with PLR in predicting SHS after spinal anesthesia were 15.5%, 10.1%, and 6.0%, respectively, the sensitivity was 92.9%, 57.1%, and 96.4%, respectively, and the specificity was 53.1%, 81.2%, and 75.0%, respectively, and the areas under the curve were 0.873, 0.681 and 0.846, respectively. Conclusion:The ultrasound-measured ΔCBF and ΔD of carotid artery combined with PLR can be used as a reliable method to predict SHS after spinal anesthesia in the patients undergoing cesarean section, and the ΔCBF combined with PLR has a higher accuracy.

Objective To find the facial soft tissue measured indexes related to esthetic evaluation.Methods Thirty women were selected and scanned with CBCT;all individuals showed normal jaw,and lateral profile was taken in natural head posture.All the data measured including E line were imported with software Winceph 8.0 and overlapped,acquiring lateral cephalometric radiographs in natural head posture.29 orthodontists and 85 laypersons were invited to evaluate the attractiveness of this 30 profile silhouettes.18 esthetic indexes including E line were measured by Winceph 8.0.Paired t-tests were carried out for measured values of aesthetic indexes from two groups.Then Pearson correlation analysis was used to each silhouette score and values of aesthetic indexes were analyzed.Results Orthodontists group had average 0.05 points higher than laypersons.The aesthetic evaluation was different between orthodontists and laypersons with statistical significance.The measured indexes were correlated with measured values of two groups,including TLL-TVL,B'-TVL,Pos'-TVL (P＜0.05).Conclusions There are differences between orthodontists and laypersons in soft-tissue profile esthetic evaluation.The value of TLL-TVL,B'-TVL and Pos TVL are three key soft-tissue measurements that influence the esthetic indexes both for orthodontists and laypersons.The head position is an element that influences esthetic evaluation.

Prenatal diagnosis and intrauterine and extrauterine management of a fetus with both critical pulmonary stenosis and hydronephrosis: a case report / 中华围产医学杂志

We report the management of a fetus diagnosed with critical pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypoplasia, severe tricuspid regurgitation and severe hydronephrosis. After echocardiography and multidisciplinary team consultation, fetal pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed at 30 +3 weeks of gestation, to facilitate the development of the right ventricle and tricuspid valve. Fetal transdermal renal puncture performed at 31 weeks of gestation showed that the hydronephrotic fluid was urine. The mother gave birth vaginally at 37 +3 weeks. Prostacyclin was given to the baby to keep the ductus arteriosus open and maintain oxygen saturation above 80%. Nephrostomy was performed on the 6th day after birth for improvement of the hydronephrosis and renal function. Biventricular correction (percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty) and left dismembered pyeloureteroplasty were successfully performed on 16 and 37 d after birth, respectively. Ultrasound follow-ups showed the structure and function of both heart and kidney recovered. We summarized the characteristics and management of fetal critical pulmonary stenosis complicated by severe hydronephrosis in this case, aiming to enhance experiences for appropriate treatment of similar cases in the future.

Discovery of the anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag in breast cancer through targeting of HuR protein

HuR (human antigen R), an mRNA-binding protein responsible for poor prognosis in nearly all kinds of malignancies, is a potential anti-tumor target for drug development. While screening HuR inhibitors with a fluorescence polarization (FP) based high-throughput screening (HTS) system, the clinically used drug eltrombopag was identified. Activity of eltrombopag on molecular level was verified with FP, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), simulation docking and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Further, we showed that eltrombopag inhibited cell proliferation of multiple cancer cell lines and macrophages, and the anti-tumor activity was also demonstrated in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model. The data showed that eltrombopag was efficient in reducing microvessels in tumor tissues. We then confirmed the HuR-dependent anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag in 4T1 cells and RAW264.7 macrophages with qRT-PCR, HuR-overexpression and HuR-silencing assays, RNA stability assays, RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays. Finally, we analyzed the anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) mediated by macrophages with cell scratch assay and Matrigel angiogenesis assay. With these data, we revealed the HuR-dependent anti-angiogenesis effect of eltrombopag in breast tumor, suggesting that the existing drug eltrombopag may be used as an anti-cancer drug.

Objective:To observe the changes of salivary Lysozyme (LZM),immunoglobulin A (IgA),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),mean grey values (MGVs)of hard tissue of teeth and caries index(CSI)in patients after oral administration of glucocorticoid (GC).Methods:30 patients with oral administration of GC were included.The mixed saliva samples before and after 6 and 12 months of GC treatment were collected.LZMand IgA and LDH were examined.Surface layer panaorama films were taken and MGVs of hard tissue of teeth were measured.The decayed,missing and filled tooth(DMFT),decayed,missing and filled surface (DMFS), CSI were recorded.The same indexes were obtained from 30 age and gender matched healthy subjects as the control data.All statisti-cal analyses were performed using SPSS 17.0 software package.Results:After taking GC orally,the concentration of LZM,IgA and MGVs of hard tissue of teeth in the patients were lower than those in the controls(P <0.05),the LDH concentration,DMFT,DMFS and CSI in the patients were increased(P <0.05).In the patients the MGVs of hard tissue of teeth was negatively correlated with DM-FT,DMFS and CSI(P <0.01),LDH concentration was positively correlated with CSI(P <0.01),the concentration of LZMand IgA were negatively correlated with CSI(P <0.05).No change of the indexes was found in the controls.Conclusion:Oral administration of GC may increase DMFT,DMFS and CSI,decrease MGVs of hard tissue of teeth significantly reduce,the patients may be under higher risk of caries.

Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance tomographic angiography in idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value and the efficacy of magnetic resonance tomographic angiography(MRTA) in identifying the relationship between nerves and blood vessels of the patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia.Methods Clinical and MR data of 280 ITN patients were analyzed retrospectively,and then were compared with operation results by using blind con-trol trials.Results Of the 280 ITN patients,there were a total of 267 patients with neurovascular contact,dubious contact or com-pression in affected sides (positive rate:95.3%),and 66 patients in normal sides (false positive rate:23.6%).And of 120 surgical patients,1 18 were found to have neurovascular contact or compression during the operation.There was significant statistical differ-ence between the neurovascular contact or compression in affected sides and that in normal sides (P <0.05).Using operation results as the gold standard,the specificity,sensitivity and the diagnostic accordance rate of MRTA in diagnosing neurovascular contact or compression were 100%,96.6% and 96.7% respectively.Conclusion MRTA can reliably display the relationship between nerves and blood vessels with higher diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy,thus providing the objective basis for the etiological diagnosis of and surgical treatment for ITN.

Effects of fluorescence labeling method plus feedback and training on hos-pital environmental cleaning effectiveness / 中国感染控制杂志

Objective To understand the cleaning status of hospital environment,and evaluate the effect of fluo-rescence labeling method plus feedback and training on hospital environmental cleaning effectiveness.Methods A total of 27 departments in a hospital were investigated,1 cleaning staff and 2 inpatients were selected from each de-partment,cleaning staff’s knowledge about cleaning and disinfection of environmental object surfaces,as well as cleaning status of inpatients’wards were surveyed,cleaning efficacy of hospital environmental object surfaces were detected with fluorescence labeling method,the surveyed results were performed timely feedback to clinical depart-ments,training on cleaning and disinfection knowledge was conducted,the effective cleaning rate of environmental object surface before and after the training was compared.Results A total of 27 cleaning staff were surveyed,the correct response rate for cleaning frequency was 96.30% ,awareness rate for section concept was 96.30% ,accuracy rate of cleaning order was 92.59% ,accuracy rate of post-cleaning immersion time of sanitary wares in disinfectant was 85.19% ,accuracy rates of replacing,drying,and repeated immersing wiping cloths were 81.48% ,48.15% ,and 25.93% respectively,rates of correct disinfectant formulating method and mop drying time were both 0. Among 54 investigated patients,bed units and ground of wards of 28 patients were cleaned both 1-2 times/day;bed units of 8 patients had never been wiped,18 patients in 9 departments cannot be conducted statistics due to completely in-consistent responses with the other patients of the same departments. The effective cleaning rates of environmental object surfaces before and after the training were 34.62% and 64.96% respectively,difference was significant(χ2=21.81,P<0.01).Conclusion Fluorescence labeling method plus feedback and training can improve cleaning efficacy of hospital environmental object surfaces.
