Application of the Mathieu combined tunnel technique for repairing glans dehiscence after failed hypospadias repair / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

Repairing glans dehiscence after failed hypospadias repair is challenging for pediatric surgeons. Here, we introduced and evaluated a newly modified Mathieu technique, Mathieu combined tunnel (MCT), which involves multiple custom-designed flaps for the shortage of flap source material after repeated operations; we also constructed a tunnel to avoid the glans incision that may carry new risks of dehiscence. This retrospective study included 26 patients who were consecutively admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University (Guangzhou, China) for glans dehiscence repair after failed hypospadias repair from October 2014 to October 2020; sixteen patients underwent surgery using the MCT (MCT group) and ten patients underwent surgery using the tubularized incised plate (TIP) technique (TIP group). The operative time, blood loss, postoperative complications, normal urethral meatus rate, success rate, and Hypospadias Objective Penile Evaluation (HOPE) score were compared between the two groups. The MCT group achieved an overall satisfactory penile appearance and voiding function, with a higher rate of normal urethral meatus (15/16, 93.8%) and a lower rate of glans dehiscence (1/16, 6.2%), compared with the TIP group (70.0% and 30.0%, respectively). However, these differences were not statistically significant, possibly because of the limited number of patients (all P > 0.05). Mean postoperative HOPE scores were similar in the MCT group (mean ± standard deviation: 8.83 ± 0. 89) and TIP group (8.94 ± 0.57) (P > 0.05). No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of blood loss and success rate, nor in the rates of various complications (e.g., fistula, urethral stricture, and glans dehiscence). In conclusion, the MCT technique appears to be feasible and reliable for repairing glans dehiscence after failed hypospadias repair.

Targeting a cryptic allosteric site of SIRT6 with small-molecule inhibitors that inhibit the migration of pancreatic cancer cells

SIRT6 belongs to the conserved NAD+-dependent deacetylase superfamily and mediates multiple biological and pathological processes. Targeting SIRT6 by allosteric modulators represents a novel direction for therapeutics, which can overcome the selectivity problem caused by the structural similarity of orthosteric sites among deacetylases. Here, developing a reversed allosteric strategy AlloReverse, we identified a cryptic allosteric site, Pocket Z, which was only induced by the bi-directional allosteric signal triggered upon orthosteric binding of NAD+. Based on Pocket Z, we discovered an SIRT6 allosteric inhibitor named JYQ-42. JYQ-42 selectively targets SIRT6 among other histone deacetylases and effectively inhibits SIRT6 deacetylation, with an IC50 of 2.33 μmol/L. JYQ-42 significantly suppresses SIRT6-mediated cancer cell migration and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. JYQ-42, to our knowledge, is the most potent and selective allosteric SIRT6 inhibitor. This study provides a novel strategy for allosteric drug design and will help in the challenging development of therapeutic agents that can selectively bind SIRT6.

Complete genome sequencing and traceability analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in Binhai New Area, Tianjin / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective:To analyze the whole genome traceability and variation analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in local COVID-19 outbreaks in Binhai New Area, Tianjin.Methods:The whole-genome high-throughput sequencing was performed on throat swab samples collected from one local asymptomatic infected person and five confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Binhai New Area of Tianjin from November 7 to December 5, 2020. The sequencing data were assembled by De novo. MAFFT v7.0 multiple sequence alignment program and MEGA X software were used to compare the above data and construct phylogenetic tree (Neighbor-joining method).Results:The genetic similarity between the sequences of 6 SARS-CoV-2 strains and Wuhan reference sequence (Wuhan-Hu-1) was greater than 99.9%. Two of six strains were genetically identical, conform to the L-Lineage European Branch Ⅱ.1(America Branch)/B.1; The other four strains had the same genes and were in line with the characteristics of L-Lineage European Branch Ⅰ/B.1.1.These six strains belonged to different evolutionary branches and two different transmission chains. There were 18 nucleotide mutation sites in sequences of six SARS-CoV-2 strains, eight of which were synonymous mutation sites, nine of which were missense mutation sites, resulting in nine amino acid mutation sites, and important mutation sites of RDRP-P323L and S-D614G were found in all of the six samples.Conclusions:In this study, there were two COVID-19 outbreaks in Binhai New Area of Tianjin, and the sequences of six SARS-CoV-2 strains belonged to different evolutionary branches and two different transmission chains. It might come from porters′ contact with imported cold chain items contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 from different sources. All the sequences of six SARS-CoV-2 strains had P323L and D614G mutations, which indicated that the virus mutation and transmission ability were stronger. The surveillance of important employees of the cold chain in Tianjin and local and imported cases should be continuously strengthened.

Therapeutic evaluation of antibiotics combined with recombinant tuberculosis vaccine AEC/BC02 in a guinea pig model of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of antibiotics combined with recombinant tuberculosis vaccine AEC/BC02 on Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in guinea pigs. Methods Two weeks after guinea pigs were challenged subcutaneously with a high dose of Mycobacterium tuberculosis,the guinea pigs with the positive skin test responses to the recombinant ESAT6-CFP10 allergen were randomly di-vided into four groups:normal saline (NS),AEC/BC02,antibiotics and antibiotics+AEC/BC02. In antibiotics+AEC/BC02 group,guinea pigs firstly received isoniazid ( INH) and rifapentine ( RFT) treatment once a week for a total of three times,and then were immunized with a single dose of AEC/BC02 vaccine six times at 10-day intervals. Guinea pigs in AEC/BC02 and antibiotics groups were respectively vaccinated with AEC/BC02 vaccine and given INH and RFT treatment at the same dose and frequency as given to antibiotics+ AEC/BC02 group. Thirteen weeks after challenge,all guinea pigs were sacrificed for necropsy. Results The gross pathological scores of NS,AEC/BC02,antibiotics and antibiotics+AEC/BC02 groups were 83±8,77± 22,45±28 and 19±14,respectively. Antibiotics+AEC/BC02 group had a significantly lower gross pathological score than antibiotics,AEC/BC02 and NS groups (P<0. 05,P<0. 01,P<0. 01,respectively). Moreover,the gross pathological scores of antibiotics and AEC/BC02 groups were significantly decreased as compared with that of NS group (both P<0. 01). However,there was no significant difference between AEC/BC02 and NS groups. The spleen bacterial load of antibiotics+AEC/BC02 group was (2. 50±1. 26) lg CFU,which was sig-nificantly lower than those of NS [(4. 92+0. 52) lg CFU],AEC/BC02 [(4. 78+0. 84) lg CFU] and antibi-otics [(4. 39+0. 50) lg CFU] groups (P<0. 01). Compared with NS group,antibiotic and AEC/BC02 groups showed no significant difference in spleen bacterial load. Histopathological changes indicated different levels of granulomatous lesions appeared in lung tissues of all groups and the most severe change was ob-served in AEC/BC02 group,followed by that in NS,antibiotics and antibiotics+AEC/BC02 groups. Conclu-sion INH and RFT treatment in combination with AEC/BC02 vaccine in the treatment of guinea pigs with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection was superior to either treatment alone as it significantly alleviated organ lesions and lowered the bacterial loads in spleen and lung.
