RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A(PAPP-A),fasting blood glucose(FPG),body mass index(BMI)and age in gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)during the first trimester.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 792 pregnant women who underwent pre-natal examination and delivered in Sichuan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from December 2021 to June 2022.They were divided into GDM group(232 cases)and control group(560 cases)according to whether they had GDM.The clinical data,serum PAPP-A median multiple(PAPP-A MoM)in early pregnancy and FPG levels were compared between the two groups.The indicators with statistical significance in univariate analy-sis were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis to analyze the related factors affecting the occurrence of GDM.The receiver operating curve(ROC)and area under the curve(AUC)of different indexes were plotted to compare the efficacy of GDM prediction.Results:①The age,pre pregnancy BMI,early pregnancy FPG and the proportion of assisted reproductive technology in GDM group were higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The early pregnancy PAPP-A MoM level in GDM group was lower than that in control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).②Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that older age,lager pre-pregnancy BMI and lager FPG in the first trimester were in-dependent risk factors for GDM occurrence(OR＞1,P＜0.05),while an increase of PAPP-A MoM in the first tri-mester was a protective factor(OR＜1,P＜0.05).③ROC showed that the combination of PAPP-A MoM in early pregnancy,FPG in early pregnancy,BMI in pre-pregnancy and age had the highest AUC(0.752)when predicting GDM,with a sensitivity of 55.6％and a specificity of 84.3％.Conclusions:The combined screening of serologi-cal(PAPP-A +FPG)and clinical data(pre-pregnancy BMI +age)in early pregnancy has a high clinical application prospect and can be popularized.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Plastic as a durable,inexpensive,easy to manufacture organic synthetic polymer materials are widely used.At the same time,plastic resistance to high temperatures,acid and alkali resistance,corrosion-resistant properties make it difficult to degrade in nature,and ultimately forming a huge number of microplastic pollution threatening human health. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of microplastic exposure on growth and development and hepatic lipid metabolism in mice. METHODS:Twenty C57BL/6J male mice were adaptively fed for one week,and then randomly divided into normal and microplastic groups(n=10 per group).Mice in the normal group were given a normal diet and water,for 4 weeks.Mice in the microplastic group were given a normal diet and free drinking of microplastic(polystyrene)water with a concentration of 1 000 μg/L,for 4 weeks.At 2 and 4 weeks of drinking,body mass and grip strength,blood lipids and liver and kidney function,ultrasonic morphology and pathological morphology of liver and lipid deposition were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the extension of time,the body mass of mice in the two groups gradually increased,and the body mass of mice in the microplastic group was greater than that in the normal group after 2,4 weeks of drinking water(P<0.05).With the extension of time,the grip strength of mice in the normal group gradually increased,and the grip strength of mice in the microplastic group first decreased and then increased,and the grip strength of mice in the microplastic group was lower than that in the normal group after drinking water for 4 weeks(P<0.05).(2)Liver ultrasound examination showed that compared with the normal group,the ultrasonic echo signal of the liver in the microplastic group was enhanced after 2 and 4 weeks of drinking water.(3)Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the morphology of liver cells in the microplastic group did not change significantly after 2 and 4 weeks of drinking water,but inflammatory cell infiltration could be seen.Oil red O staining showed that obvious lipid deposition was observed in the liver of microplastic group after 2 and 4 weeks of drinking water.(4)Compared with the normal group,the levels of serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol,triacylglycerol,and aspartate aminotransferase in the microplastic group were decreased after 2 weeks of drinking water(P<0.05),and the serum triacylglycerol concentration was decreased after 4 weeks of drinking water(P<0.05).(5)These findings confirm that microplastics may cause weight gain,loss of physical strength,and abnormal hepatic lipid metabolism in mice.

RESUMO
Acute gallstone pancreatitis (AGP) is a kind of acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones. The etiology of AGP is complex, and the anatomic basis and initiating factors have a synergistic effect on its pathogenesis, which needs to be studied jointly. The way of the confluence of pancreaticobiliary ducts, dilated main pancreatic duct, the relatively narrow opening of duodenal papilla and small stones or microlithiasis may be involved in the pathogenesis of AGP, in which small stones are the most important. Etiological diagnosis and clinical treatment of AGP should be carried out simultaneously. The timely selection of treatment methods for different causes can alleviate the patient's condition to the greatest extent and reduce the cost of treatment. At present, it is difficult to unify the prediction indexes of AGP. Meanwhile, the pathogenesis and related prophylaxis and treatment also need to be studied. In this paper, the anatomic basis, initiation factors, pathogenesis and self-defense of AGP were analyzed to provide a new perspective for its treatment.

RESUMO
【Objective】 To investigate the effect and mechanism of musk-containing serum on the migration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). 【Methods】 Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: musk-high-, medium- and low-dose groups and blank control group; medicated serum was prepared. Fifteen SD rats were isolated and cultured with BMSCs, and the third generation of BMSCs were identified by morphology, phenotype, osteogenic and adipogenic induction. BMSCs received medicinal healing intervention with high-, medium- and low- (16.8, 8.4, and 4.2 μL/100 g) musk, and the cell proliferation rate was detected by MTT assay. Under the intervention of the protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathway (GF109203X), the effect of musk with pharmacition on the migration of BMSCSs was detected with the Transwell test. 【Results】 The rat BMSCs were attached to the wall, with orderly arrangement and good cell viability. Phenotypic identification revealed that the expressions of CD44 and CD90 were positive, while the expressions of CD45 and CD34 were negative, and the cells could differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes. The proliferation rates of BMSCSs with different concentrations at different time periods were higher than those in the blank control group (P0.05). 【Conclusion】 The mechanism of musk-containing serum in promoting BMSCs migration may be related to the activation of PKC signaling pathway.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical effects of different doses of meropenem in the treatment of septic shock. METHODS One hundred and six patients with septic shock were randomly divided into standard-dose group and high-dose group， with 53 cases in each group. Patients in the standard-dose group were given standard dose of meropenem （initial intravenous injection of 1 g meropenem more than 30 minutes， followed by 1 g meropenem intravenously every 8 hours， each time for more than 3 hours）； patients in the high-dose group were given high dose of meropenem （initial intravenous injection of 2 g meropenem more than 30 minutes， followed by 2 g meropenem intravenously every 8 hours， each time for more than 3 hours）； other treatment measures were determined based on the specific conditions of the patients. The main observation indicators were the increments of sequential organ failure assessment （SOFA） scores and simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ （SAPS Ⅱ） after 3， 5 and 7 days of treatment in both groups. Secondary observation indicators included in-hospital mortality， 90-day all-cause mortality， 7-day microbial cure rate， 7-day clinical cure rate， serum procalcitonin （PCT） and C-reactive protein （CRP） levels after 3， 5 and 7 days of treatment， hospitalization days in the intensive care unit， ventilator treatment days， the highest dose of norepinephrine. The occurrence of adverse drug reaction in the two groups was observed. RESULTS The increments of SOFA scores and SAPS Ⅱ after 7 days of treatment， the levels of PCT and CRP after 5 and 7 days of treatment as well as the 90-day all-cause mortality in the high- dose group were significantly lower than the standard-dose group （P＜0.05）. There were no statistically significant differences in other indicators between the two groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS High-dose meropenem treatment for septic shock has better clinical effects and is safer than standard-dose meropenem.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relieving effects of knockdown of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)taurine up-regulated gene 1 (TUG1) on inhibiting nucleotide binding oligomerization domain like receptor protein 1 (NLRP1) inflammasome and the progression of Alzheimer’ s disease. Methods Wild-type (WT group, 10 mice) or amyloid precursor protein (APP) / presenilin-1 (PS1) transgenic mice (30 mice) with a genetic background of C57 / BL6 aged 9-10 weeks were used in this study. APP / PS1 transgenic mice were randomly divided into model group, model+lncRNA TUG1 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) group and model + shRNA non target (NT) group (n = 10) . Blood samples, cerebral cortex tissues, primary microglial cells and primary astrocytes were collected from mice 12 weeks of age on day 1 (3-month-old) and 32 weeks of age on day 1 (8-month-old), with 5 mice per group at each time point. Real-time PCR analysis was used to detect the expression levels of lncRNA TUG1 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) mRNA in cerebral cortex tissues and primary microglial cells, and C1r and C1s mRNA levels in primary astrocytes of 3-month-old and 8-month-old mice in the above 4 groups, respectively. ELISA was used to determine the MIF in plasma samples of the above 4 groups of mice. Primary microglia and astrocytes from the cerebral cortex of 3-month-old and 8-month-old mice were co-cultured. CCK-8 method was used to determine the proliferation ability of the above cells. Western blotting was used to determine the expression levels of MIF, pro interleukin-1β (pro-IL-1β), apoptosis associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recrult domain(ASC), Caspase-1 (p20), Caspase-1 (full), NLRP1 and NLRP3 in cerebral cortex tissues of 3-month-old and 8-month-old mice. Immunofluorescent staining was used to determine amyloid beta(Aβ) in cerebral cortex of 8-month-old mice. Results At the age of 3-month-old and 8-month-old, compared with the WT group, the relative expression level of lncRNA TUG1 and MIF in cerebral cortex tissues and primary microglia of model group mice was significantly up-regulated, with primary microglial cells and astrocytes proliferation ability enhanced (P0. 05) . There was no significant difference between the model group and the model+shRNA NT group mice of all the above factors (P>0. 05) . Conclusion In APP / PS1 transgenic mice, up-regulation of lncRNA TUG1 and MIF are positively associated with the activation of NLRP1 inflammasome in mice cerebral cortex tissues and primary microglia. Knock-down of lncRNA TUG1 can ameliorate the progression of Alzheimer’ s disease.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To identify phytochemical constituents present in the extract of flowers of Xanthoceras sorbifolia and evaluate their anti-oxidant and anti-hyperglycemic capacities.@*METHODS@#The AlCl3 colorimetric method and Prussian Blue assay were used to determine the contents of total flavonoids and total phenolic acids in extraction layers, and the bioactive layers was screened through anti - oxidative activity in vitro. The Waters ACQUITY UPLC system and a Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (2.0 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm) were used to identify the ingredients. And anti-oxidative ingredients were screened by off-line UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS-free radical scavenging. The ameliorative role of it was further evaluated in a high-fat, streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rat model and the study was carried out on NADPH oxidase (PDB ID: 2CDU) by molecular docking.@*RESULTS@#Combined with the results of activity screening in vitro, the anti - oxidative part was identified as the ethyl acetate layer. A total of 24 chemical constituents were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in the ethyl acetate layer and 13 main anti-oxidative active constituents were preliminarily screened out through off-line UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS-free radical scavenging. In vivo experiments showed that flowers of X. sorbifolia could significantly reduce the blood glucose level of diabetic mice and alleviate liver cell damage. Based on the results of docking analysis related to the identified phytocompounds and oxidase which involved in type 2 diabetes, quercetin 3-O-rutinoside, kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside, and isoquercitrin showed a better inhibitory profile.@*CONCLUSION@#The ethyl acetate layer was rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids and had significant anti-oxidant activity, which could prevent hyperglycemia. This observed activity profile suggested X. sorbifolia flowers as a promising new source of tea to develop alternative natural anti-diabetic products with a high safety margin.
RESUMO
Background Nano-alumina (nano-Al2O3) is a widely utilized nanomaterial. Its impacts on the environment and biological systems have garnered significant attention. Zebrafish serves as a common model organism in scientific research due to its high homology with the human genome and is extensively used in toxicity studies. Objective To investigate the developmental toxicity and neurotoxicity of nano-Al2O3 exposure in zebrafish and the corresponding mechanisms of action. Method Zebrafish embryos at 6 h post-fertilization (hpf) were randomly assigned to a control group and five dose groups exposed to nano-Al2O3 at concentrations of 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 μg·mL−1, respectively. Thirty embryos were included in each group, and the culture medium was replaced every 24 h until 144 hpf. The hatching rates at 48 and 72 hpf and the cumulative malformation rates up to 144 hpf were calculated. At 144 hpf, a zebrafish behavior analyzer was used to record the movement trajectories of the zebrafish, and the total distance traveled and average speed were analyzed for each group. At 144 hpf, the development of dopaminergic neurons in transgenic zebrafish expressing vmat2: GFP, brain vessels in those expressing vegf: GFP, and central nervous system neurons in those expressing elavl3: EGFP were observed under a fluorescence microscope, and statistical analysis was conducted using Image Pro Plus. Real-time quantitative PCR was employed to detect the expression levels of neuron development-related genes (syn2α, gap43, dat), Lewy body formation-related gene (α-syn), and autophagy-related genes (pink1, parkin) at 144 hpf. Results Compared to the control group, the nano-Al2O3 exposed groups exhibited reduced hatching rates at 48 hpf and increased cumulative malformation rates (P<0.05), with phenomena such as delayed development, absence of the swim bladder, and body curvature. The autonomous behavioral tests revealed that the nano-Al2O3 exposed zebrafish showed a decrease in the total distance swum (P<0.001) and a significant reduction in average speed compared to the control group. The fluorescence observations indicated that the length of dopaminergic neurons in vmat2: GFP transgenic zebrafish was reduced in the nano-Al2O3 exposed groups (P<0.001). Additionally, vegf: GFP transgenic zebrafish exhibited a significant absence of brain vessels, while elavl3: EGFP transgenic zebrafish showed a weakened fluorescence intensity of central nervous system neurons (P<0.001) and a decreased length of these neurons (P<0.01). The real-time quantitative PCR analysis revealed that compared to the control group, the gene expression levels of α-syn, syn2α, dat, and gap43 were upregulated in the zebrafish exposed to nano-Al2O3 (except for the 400 μg·mL−1 exposure group) (P<0.01), while the expression levels of parkin were downregulated in the 600 and 800 μg·mL−1 nano-Al2O3 exposed groups, and the expression levels of pink1 were downregulated in all exposure groups except for the 200 μg·mL−1 group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exposure to nano-Al2O3 exhibits developmental toxicity in zebrafish larvae and induces Parkinsonism-like symptoms in zebrafish. The preliminary speculation of the mechanism suggests that it may be related to nano-Al2O3-induced mitochondrial autophagy impairment.

Objective: To compare the differences to determine resting energy expenditure (REE) measured with indirect calorimetry and REE predicted by formula method and body composition analyzer in patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis, so as to provide theoretical guidance for the implementation of precision nutrition intervention. Methods: Patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis who were admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from April 2020 to December 2020 were collected. REE was determined by the body composition analyzer and the H-B formula method. Results: were analyzed and compared to REE measured by the metabolic cart. Results A total of 57 cases with liver cirrhosis were included in this study. Among them, 42 were male, aged (47.93 ± 8.62) years, and 15 were female aged (57.20 ± 11.34) years. REE measured value in males was (1 808.14 ± 201.47) kcal/d, compared with the results calculated by the H-B formula method and the measured result of body composition, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.002 and 0.003, respectively). REE measured value in females was (1 496.60 ± 131.28) kcal/d, compared with the results calculated by the H-B formula method and the measured result of body composition, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.016 and 0.004, respectively). REE measured with the metabolic cart had correlation with age and area of visceral fat in men (P = 0.021) and women (P = 0.037). Conclusion: Metabolic cart use will be more accurate to obtain resting energy expenditure in patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis. Body composition analyzer and formula method may underestimate REE predictions. Simultaneously, it is suggested that the effect of age on REE in H-B formula should be fully considered for male patients, while the area of visceral fat may have a certain impact on the interpretation of REE in female patients.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has shown remarkable success in treating hematological malignancies. However, CAR-T therapy for solid tumors is still limited due to the unique solid-tumor microenvironment and heterogeneous target antigen expression, which leads to an urgent need of combining other therapies. At present, nano delivery system has become one of the most promising directions for the development of anti-tumor drugs. Based on the background of CAR-T and tumor treatment, we focus on the research progress of nanomedicine combined with CAR-T therapy, and systematically review the strategies and examples in recent years in the aspects of in vivo delivery of mRNA, regulation of tumor microenvironment, combination with photothermal therapy. And we also look forward to the future direction of this filed. .

OBJECTIVE@#To predict the learning curve of tooth preparation for all ceramic crowns of maxillary central incisors on phantom head simulators for graduate students participating in standardized dental resident training based on the modified Wright learning curve model, then to analyze and applicate the learning curve.@*METHODS@#Twelve graduate students participating in standardized dental resident training were selected to prepare the resin maxillary central incisors on phantom head simulators for all ceramic crowns 4 times. The results of preparation were evaluated by 3 prosthetic experts with at least 10 years' experience focusing on the reduction, contour, taper, shoulder, finish line, margin placement, adjacent tooth injury, and preparation time for tooth preparation. The learning rate of tooth preparation was calculated by scores of tooth preparation of 4 times. The learning curve of tooth preparation was predicted based on the modified Wright learning curve model. According to the criteria of standardized training skill examinations for dental residents in Beijing, 80 was taken as the qualified standard score. The minimum training times for tooth preparation to satisfy the qualified standard score (80) was calculated, to analyze the characteristics of learning curve and evaluate the effectiveness of tooth preparation.@*RESULTS@#The scores of 4 tooth preparation were 64.03±7.80, 71.40±6.13, 74.33±5.96, and 75.98±4.52, respectively. The learning rate was (106±4)%, which showed the learning curve an upward trend. There were no significant differences between the qualified standard score and the predicted scores of tooth preparation from the 5th preparation to the 13th preparation (P > 0.05). The predicted score of the 14th preparation was higher than the qualified standard score (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The trend of the learning curve of tooth preparation for all ceramic crowns of maxillary central incisors on phantom head simulators for graduate students participating in standardized dental resident training is upward, which predicts the minimum training times higher than the qualified standard score is 14 times.
