Construction of human PKD2 lentivirus to rectify polycystin-2 expression and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways in the Pkd2-null cell lines / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To establish PKD2 gene recombinant lentivirus and to investigate its restorative effects on polycystin-2 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways in Pkd2-null cell lines.Methods From August 2016 to February 2017,PKD2 gene was cleaved from the pcDNA3.1-TM-PKD2 plasmid and was inserted into the pLV-sfGFP 2A Puro by restriction enzymes Xba Ⅰ and Xho Ⅰ.The recombinant pLV-sfGFP-PKD2 plasmid was sequenced to verify a correct construction.Then we obtained recombinant lentiviruses by co-transfecting 293T cells with recombinant plasmid and packaging plasmids.B3/D3 (Pkd2 +/-) and B2/E8 (Pkd2-/-) cell lines were used to evaluate the effectiveness of lentivirus,they were divided into experimental group,control group,blank group and treated with pLV-sfGFP-PKD2 virus,pLV-sfGFP virus or culture media,respectively.The expression of PC2 was detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining.Finally the cell proliferation was evaluated by detecting of proliferating cell nuclear antigen.The changes of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway were evaluated by real-time quantitative PCR.Results Enzyme digestion analysis and DNA sequencing showed that the recombinant plasmid pLV-sfGFP-PKD2 was constructed successfully.After infected with pLV-sfGFP-PKD2 virus,the expression of PC2 in the experimental group B2 and E8 cells(0.668 ±0.013,0.763 ±0.021) was restored to the normal level,compared with control group B3 and D3 cells,respectively (0.687 ± 0.015,P =0.164;0.776 ± 0.008,P =0.409).The proliferative activity in experimental group B2 cells(0.573 ±0.010) was significantly lower than that in control group B2 cells (0.848 ±0.031,P ＜0.01),and was returned to the level of blank group B3 cells (0.585 ±0.017,P =0.369).Reexpression of PKD2 in experimental group B2 cells also reduced the expression of Wnt7a,β-catenin,back to blank group B3 cells' level(0.037 ±0.005 vs.0.037 ±0.004,P=0.969;0.554 ±0.008 vs.0.571 ±0.013,P =0.64).Conclusions The recombinant pLV-sfGFP-PKD2 lentivirus has been constructed successfully.The lentivirus could rectify the absence of PC2 in PKD2-null cell lines,by which the hyperactivated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and the abnormal cell proliferation caused by PC2 deficiency could be also restored to normal levels.

Difference of left ventricular segmental longitudinal strain in patients with lymphoma receiving anthracycline detected by three dimensional speckle tracking imaging / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective@#To detect the changes of systolic function of left ventricle in patients with lymphoma receiving anthracycline by three dimensional speckle tracking imaging(3D-STI).@*Methods@#Thirty patients with newly diagnosed diffused large B-cell lymphoma who had received R-CHOP chemotherapy were enrolled. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain(GCS) and longitudinal strain(LS) on different left ventricular segments were measured by 3D-STI at baseline, after the completion of 2 cycles and 4 cycles of the regimen respectively.@*Results@#Compared with baseline, GLS reduced significantly after four cycles of anthracycline chemotherapy(P=0.002). Analysis of LS on different segments of the left ventricle shows: after 2 cycles of anthracycline chemotherapy, LS only on apical septum was significantly decreased(P=0.019). After 4 cycles of treatment, LS on mid anterior, mid anteroseptal, mid inferoseptal, mid anterolateral, apical anterior, apical septal walls and apex worsened (t=3.321, P=0.002; t=2.497, P=0.018; t=2.387, P=0.024; t=2.096, P=0.045; t=4.015, P=0.000; t=4.064, P=0.000; t=3.370, P=0.002, respectively).@*Conclusions@#LS deterioration emerges on some left ventricular walls in patients with lymphma underwent chemotheapy based on anthracycline in early stage of the remedy, especially on apex and mid segments. LS on apical septum manifests firstly. The segmental LS index maybe expected to be valuable for monitoring of early cardiotoxicity of antharcycline.

Analysis on disease spectrum among hospitalized children in Chongqing City during 2015 / 重庆医学

Objective To study the characteristics of the diseases spectrum in hospitalized children.Methods The items of main diagnosis,gender,age,etc.in the inpatients medical records home page data aged 0? 12 years old in second-level and above hospitals of Chongqing City during 2015 were performed the disease spectrum sequence and constituent ratio analysis for deeply digging the relation between the disease change trend with the age and sex.Results The top 5 main system diseases affecting children's health were respiratory system diseases (male 43.84％,female 45.74％),some conditions originated from prenatal period (male 12.01 ％,female 13.87 ％),infectious diseases and parasites diseases (male 9.48 ％,female 9.88 ％),digestive system diseases (male 9.09 ％,female 6.95 ％),injury,poisoning and some other consequences of external causes(male 6.86 ％,female 5.27 ％).Respiratory system diseases always ranked the first place,the sexual difference among various system disease was unobvious,the sequence of injury,poisoning and some other consequence of external causes was increased with the age increasing;in the ranking of respiratory system diseases,pneumonia(38.73 ％),acute bronchitis(17.29 ％) and acute tonsillitis(13.83％) were the top 3 diseases affecting children's health.Conclusion Respiratory system diseases are the concerned key point for children health promotion.The health and epidemic prevention departments should provide effective methods and measures for preventing respiratory system diseases in children.Furthermore,the targeted prevention and treatment measures should be proposed aiming at the difference of disease sequence in different age groups.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analysis the burden of diseases (BOD) and economic burden of disease (EBOD) in Chongqing and provide scientific evidence for effective prevention and control of diseases.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The burden of diseases of Chongqing were estimated by use of disability-adjusted life year (DALY) from 2010 to 2013, two-step method was used in the calculation of direct economic burden of diseases. DALY combined with the human capital method were used to measure the indirect economic burden.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>From 2010 to 2013, DALY loss by all causes for the residents in Chongqing were 123.90, 127.01, 123.30 and 125.99 person year per thousand persons, respectively. The diseases mainly included non-communicable diseases, accounting for 83%-87%, followed by injure and infectious diseases. The five leading diseases of BOD in Chongqing were respiratory system disease, circulatory system disease, malignant tumor, accidental death, neuropsychiatric disease, respectively. The total economic burden of diseases was 1 621.34 million yuan RMB in 2013. The direct and indirect economic burden of diseases were 794.42 million yuan RMB and 826.92 million yuan RMB, which could be attributed to circulatory system disease, respiratory system diseases, injury, malignant tumor and muscle bones and connective tissue diseases.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Respiratory system disease, circulatory system diseases, malignant tumor, and injury have caused heavy burden both in people's health and economic status in Chongqing. It is necessary to take effective measures to prevent and control these diseases.</p>
