RESUMO
To investigate the crucial role of particle size in the biological effects of nanoparticles, a series of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were prepared with particle size gradients (50, 100, 150, 200 nm) with the traditional Stober method and adjusting the type and ratio of the silica source. The correlation between toxicity and size-caused biological effects were then further examined both in vitro and in vivo. The results indicated that the prepared MSNs had a uniform size, good dispersal, and ordered mesoporous structure. Hemolytic toxicity was found to be independent of particle size. At the cellular level, MSNs with smaller particle sizes were more readily internalized by cells, which initiated to more intense oxidative stress, therefor inducing higher cytotoxicity, and apoptosis rate. In vivo studies demonstrated that MSNs primarily accumulated in the liver and kidneys of mice. Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that larger MSNs were eliminated more efficiently by the urinary system than smaller MSNs. The mice's body weight monitoring, blood tests, and pathological sections of major organs indicated good biocompatibility for MSNs of different sizes. Animal welfare and the animal experimental protocols were strictly consistent with related ethics regulations of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University. Overall, this study prepared MSNs with a particle size gradient to investigate the correlation between toxicity and particle size using macrophages and endothelial cells. The study also examined the biosafety of MSNs with different particle sizes in vivo and in vitro, which could help to improve the safety design strategy of MSNs for drug delivery systems.
RESUMO
Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of p16/Ki-67 double-stained immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of human papilloma virus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(opscc) and find out the optimal index to improve the accuracy of HPV detection. Methods: A total of 153 cases, from May 2014 to May 2020, diagnosed OPSCC in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, were selected. This cohort included 130 males and 23 females, aged (58.6±10.0) years old. HPV RNA in situ hybridization was chosen as the gold standard to detect their HPV status. p16 immunohistochemistry and p16/Ki-67 double-stained immunohistochemistry were performed on all cases, and the p16/Ki-67 double positive index including 20%, 40%, and 60% were used as the thresholds to compare their sensitivity, specificity, and positive prediction value (PPV), negative prediction value (NPV) and prognosis prediction ability. Results: Among the 153 patients with OPSCC, 114 were HPV-negative and 39 were HPV-positive, and the HPV infection rate of OPSCC patients was 25.5% (39/153). Only 58.1% (36/62) of single p16 positive cases were HPV-positive, and the prognosis of patients could not be distinguished using p16 immunohistochemistry only. Using p16/Ki-67 double staining, the accuracy of HPV positive diagnosis has been improved. The HPV diagnostic ability was the highest when the p16/Ki-67 double positive index was 40% (sensitivity=86.8%, specificity=94.8%, PPV=84.6%, NPV=95.6%, area under the curve=0.897), which could distinguish the prognosis of patients (P=0.012). Conclusions: The p16/Ki-67 double-stained immunohistochemistry can improve the accuracy of HPV positive diagnosis rate and diagnosis of HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer is the most accurate when the double-positive index is 40% as the threshold to judge HPV status and could serve as better surrogate marker for HPV detection.
RESUMO
Objective:To study the protective effect of neoeriocitrin on PC12 cell injury induced by amyloid β protein fragment 25-35 (Aβ 25-35), and explore its role in preventing and treating AD. Methods:The MTT method was used to detect the effect of Neoeriocitrin on the proliferation of normal PC12 cells and Aβ 25-35 damaged PC12 cells, and the intervention concentration of neoeriocitrin solution was screened. The PC12 cells were divided into the normal control group, model group, estradiol group and neoeriocitrin group according to the random number table method. The normal control group and model group were cultured with DMEM for 24 h; DMEM and 1×10 -3 μmol/L estradiol solution were added to the estradiol group; DMEM and 6×10 4 μmol/L neoeriocitrin solution were added to the neoeriocitrin group. After 2 hours of culture, except for the normal control group, the remaining groups were added with 20 μmol/L Aβ 25-35 stock solution, and the culture was continued for 22 h. AnnexinV-FITC/PI double labeling was used to detect apoptosis rate, Western blot method was used to detect estrogen receptor β (estrogen receptor β, ERβ) and p-P38/P38 protein expression. The content of acetylcholine (ACh) was detected, and the activity of Choline acetyl transferase (ChAT) and Acetylcholin esterase (AChE) in the supernatant of PC12 cells were detected. Results:Compared with the model group, the cell apoptosis rate [(8.080 ± 0.578)% vs. (18.500 ± 0.870)%] significantly decreased ( P<0.01), the expression of ERβ protein (0.348 ± 0.042 vs. 0.273 ± 0.006) significantly increased ( P<0.01), p-P38/P38 protein expression (0.372 ± 0.058 vs. 0.571 ± 0.063) significantly decreased ( P<0.01), the content of ACh [(14.319 ± 1.039) μg/mg vs. (9.157 ± 1.605) μg/mg], ChAT activity [(0.715 ± 0.053) U/mg vs. (0.280 ± 0.093) U/mg] significantly increased ( P<0.01), AChE activity [(2.607 ± 2.048) U/mg vs. (6.038 ± 1.867) U/mg] significantly reduced ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Neoeriocitrin can promote the proliferation of PC12 cells damaged by Aβ25-35, inhibit cell apoptosis, and has a certain cytoprotective effect. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of ERβ expression and inhibition of P38 protein phosphorylation, thereby improving the function of the cholinergic system related.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture on the expression of phosphorylated adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase(p-AMPK), phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin(p-mTOR) and phosphorylated Ulk1(p-Ulk1) proteins in the cortex of traumatic brain injury (TBI) rats, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying treatment of TBI. METHODS: Male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation (sham), model, electroacupuncture Ⅰ (EA Ⅰ), electroacupuncture Ⅱ (EA Ⅱ) groups (n＝10 in each group). TBI model was established by using a free fall brain injury striking device after exposing the local cranial bone (to induce the left parietal cerebral contusion). Rats in EA Ⅰ group were treated by electroacupuncture at "Neiguan" (SP6) and "Zusanli" (ST36) combined with acupuncture at "Shuigou" (GV26) and "Baihui"(GV20) on the 7thday after modeling, once a day for 7 consecutive days. Rats in EA Ⅱ group received the treatments as those in EA Ⅰ group on 24 h after modeling, once a day for 14 d. After the treatment, histopathological changes of the injured cerebral cortex were observed by HE staining and Nissl staining. Western blot was used to detect the expression of AMPK, p-AMPK, mTOR, p-mTOR, Ulk1, p-Ulk1 proteins in the injured cerebral cortex tissue. RESULTS: After modeling and compared with the sham group, a large number of tissue necrosis, scattered arrangement of nerve fibers, vacuolar changes of cells, nuclear fragmentation, consolidation and hyperplastic scar tissue were found in the brain trauma area of rats in the model group. Nissl corpuscles were obviously absent. The ratio of p-AMPK/AMPK was up-regulated in the cortex of the wound region (P<0.01), and the ratio of p-mTOR/mTOR, p-Ulk1/Ulk1 were down-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the pathological changes in brain injury area of rats in both EA groups were alleviated, the number of Nissl corpuscles increased, the ratio of p-AMPK/ AMPK was down-regulated in cortex of the injury area (P<0.01), and the ratios of p-mTOR/mTOR and p-Ulk1/Ulk1 were up-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with EA Ⅰ group, the pathological changes in the brain injury area in EA Ⅱ group showed obvious improvement, with down-regulation of p-AMPK/AMPK (P<0.05), and up-regulation of p-mTOR/mTOR and p-Ulk1/Ulk1 (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Electroacupuncture may inhibit the over-activation of autophagy of cranial neurons by regulating the activation of AMPK, mTOR and Ulk1, thus exerting brain protection effect on TBI rats, and early electroacupuncture intervention is more effective in acute phase of TBI.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To observe the impacts of electroacupuncture (EA) on neurological function, the pathological morphology in brain tissue, apoptosis level and the protein expressions of apoptosis-related cytochrome C (Cyt-C) and cysteine aspartic acid protease-9 (Caspase-9) in the rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and explore the potential mechanism of EA in treatment of TBI.@*METHODS@#A total of 70 clean-grade SD mice were randomized into a blank group (8 rats), a sham-operation group (8 rats), a model group (27 rats) and an EA group (27 rats). In terms of interventions of 3, 7 and 14 days, 3 subgroups were divided in the model group and the EA group successively, 9 rats in each subgroup. The modified Feeney free-fall percussion method was adopted to establish TBI models of rats. In the sham-operation group, only the skull was exposed and drilled and no free-fall percussion was exerted. One day after modeling, EA was given in the rats of EA group at "Shuigou" (GV 26), "Baihui" (GV 20) and "Neiguan" (PC 6) and "Zusanli" (ST 36) on the affected side, with intermittent wave, 2 Hz in frequency, once daily, 10 min each time, for 3, 7 and 14 days successively. Separately, on the day 3, 7 and 14 of intervention, the modified neurological severity scale (mNSS) was used to evaluate the degree of neurological function injury in the rats, HE staining and Nissl staining were to observe the pathological and morphological changes in brain tissue, TUNEL method was to observe the level of apoptosis in brain tissue and immunohistochemistry (IHC) method and Western blot were to determine the protein expressions of Cyt-C and Caspase-9 in brain tissue.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the sham-operation group, on the day 3, 7 and 14 of intervention, mNSS scores were increased obviously in the rats of the model group respectively (<0.01). Compared with the model group, on the day 3, 7 and 14 of intervention, mNSS scores were reduced in the rats of the EA group respectively (<0.05). On day 3 of intervention, in brain injury region of the rats in the model group and the EA group, gross tissue necrosis, nuclear fragmentation, consolidation and obvious vacuolar changes, reduced Nissl bodies and scattered arrangement were found. On day 7 and 14 of intervention, in the model group and the EA group, the new connective tissue filling and normal cells were visible and Nissl bodies increased. The overall repair and Nissl body quantity in the EA group were better than the model group. Compared with the sham-operation group, on day 3, 7 and 14 of intervention, the numbers of apoptotic cells were increased obviously in the model group (<0.01) and they were reduced in the EA group as compared with the model group (<0.05). Compared with the sham-operation group, on day 3, 7 and 14 of intervention, the protein expressions of Cyt-C and Caspase-9 in damaged brain tissue were all increased obviously in the model group (<0.01) and they were all reduced in the EA group as compared with the model group successively (<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Electroacupuncture remarkably improves the condition in the neurological function injury and reduces apoptosis degree in TBI model rats, which is likely related to the down-regulation of the protein expressions of Cyt-C and Caspase-9 in damaged brain tissue and further to bring the impacts on mitochondria mediated apoptosis process.

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on neuronal apoptosis in rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to explore the action mechanism of EA on improving the brain nerve function of TBI.@*METHODS@#A total of 88 6-week-old SD rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group, an EA group and a LY294002+EA group, 22 rats in each group. The TBI model on the left side was established by the improved Feeney's free fall method. After modeling for 24 h, the rats in the EA group and LY294002+EA group were treated with acupuncture at "Baihui" (GV 20) for 10 min and pricking acupuncture at "Shuigou" (GV 26) for 20 s; EA was applied at "Neiguan" (PC 6) and "Zusanli" (ST 36) on the right side (discontinuous wave, 2 Hz of frequency, 1 mA of intensity) for 10 min, once a day for 3 days. After 3 days of intervention, the TUNEL method was used to detect the level of neuron apoptosis in left cerebral cortex; the Western blot method was used to detect the expression of Akt, p-Akt, Bcl-2, Bax, Cyt-C and Caspase-9 in the left cerebral cortex.@*RESULTS@#After 3-day treatment, compared with the sham group, the number of neuronal apoptosis in the left cortex was increased in the model group (<0.01), and the expression of Bax, Cyt-C and Caspase-9 protein was increased (<0.01), and the expression of p-Akt/Akt, Bcl-2 was decreased (<0.01). Compared with the model group, the number of neuronal apoptosis in the left cortex was decreased in the EA group (<0.01), and the expression of Bax, Cyt-C and Caspase-9 was decreased (<0.01), and the expression of p-Akt/Akt and Bcl-2 was increased (<0.01). Compared with the LY294002+EA group, the number of neuronal apoptosis in the left cortex was decreased in the EA group (<0.01), and the expression of Bax, Caspase-9 and Cyt-C was decreased (<0.01, <0.05), and the expression of p-Akt/Akt and Bcl-2 was increased (<0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#EA could significantly reduce the neuronal apoptosis in rats with TBI, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

·AIM: To retrospectively analyze the prevalence of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP) in 3471 neonates in Suzhou Municipal Hospital. ·METHODS: A total of 3471 children (1947 males, 1524 females) were screened for ROP in Suzhou Municipal Hospital from January 2010 to September 2016 using binocular ophthalmoscope or ( and) RetCamⅡ. First examination was performed from 4-6wk after birth. The ocular findings were recorded according to the International Classification of ROP and The Early Treatment for ROP. Only the more aggressive eye of bilateral asymmetrical cases was counted for statistical purpose. Children with ROP in both binocular or single eye were counted in 1 case, and the cases required surgeries were defined as severe cases. The prevalence of ROP and severe ROP in recent 6a were analyzed retrospectively. ·RESULTS: The overall relevance ratio of ROP and severe ROP was 17.03% and 1.15%. The relevance ratio of ROP and severe ROP of the males were 16.38% and 1.08%,and of the females were 17.85% and 1.25%, the results were not statistically different (x2= 1. 296, P =0.255). The relevance ratio of ROP and severe ROP of the single birth infants were 17.61% and 1.13%, and of the multiple birth infants were 15.13% and 1.23%,the results were not statistically different (x2=2.706, P=0.100). The children were divided into 5 groups according to the birth weight. The relevance ratio of ROP with birth weight<1000g,1000-1499g,1500-1999g,2000-2499g and ≥2500g were 75. 00%, 36. 17%, 10. 75%, 6. 86% and 3. 77%respectively with significant differences (There were significant differences between the three groups which the birth weight <2000g, P<0.005). The relevance ratio of severe ROP were 36.54%, 1.68%, 0.31%, 0.19% and 0 respectively in these birth weight groups (There were significant differences between the three groups which the birth weight <2000g,P<0.005). The children were divided into 4 groups according to gestational weeks, the relevance ratio of severe ROP of gestational age<28wk,28-31wk, 32-36wk and ≥37wk were 69. 12%, 29. 91%, 8.28% and 3.33% respectively with significant differences (There were significant differences between the three groups which the gestational age <37wk, P<0.005). The relevance ratio of severe ROP were 25%, 1.52%, 0.24% and 0 in these gestational age groups respectively (There were significant differences between the three groups which the gestational age <37wk,P<0.005). · CONCLUSION: The detection rate of ROP in 3471 premature infants was 17. 03%, the severe ROP was 1.15%. There was no evidence that sex and birth were related to ROP, but lower birth weight and smaller gestational age increased the detection rate of ROP.

RESUMO
The human gastrointestinal tract is colonized by 100 trillion microbes which is called the gut microbiome, whose number vastly outnumbers our bodies'. The gut microbiota plays an important role in the process of human health involved with evolution, development, metabolism and immune defense. However, it also has been found to be related with many human diseases. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have begun to reveal how these inhabitants played a role for obstetrics and gynecology related diseases. As discussed in this review, some imbalance of the microbiota ecosystem occurs in several diseases, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, gestational diabetes mellitus and premature birth. Moreover, the reestablishment of the intestinal homeostasis has shown great effects on women related diseases as well as neonatal/childhood outcomes. This paper reviewed the correlation between gut microbiota and obstetrics and gynecology related diseases.

Methods From January to December 2009,169 elderly patients (≥ 60 years old)with peptic ulcer delected by edoscopy were enrolled,whose treatment and usage of medication were analyzed.Data of treatment and recurrence in 3-year follow-up were recorded.Mann-Whitney rank sum test and Logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the correlated factors.Results The potential risk factors associated with recurrence of peptic ulcer in the elderly were screened and analyzed by single factor analysis,and ulcer size, ulcer location, concomitant usage of drugs, smoking and condition of Helicobacterpylori (H .pylori )infection at the end of follow-up were found to be correlated with recurrence of peptic ulcer in the elderly.After adjusting age and gender,the potential risk factors were analyzed by a Logistic stepwise regression model.Smoking (OR = 1 .788,P = 0.001 ),combined medication (OR=6.202,P =0.015 ),ulcer size (OR =2.697,P =0.032 )and condition of H .pylori infection at the end of follow-up (OR=43.784,P =0.007)were found to be correlated with recurrence of peptic ulcer in the elderly.Conclusion Smoking,combined medication,ulcer size and condition of H .pylori infection at the end of follow-up have an impact on peptic ulcer recurrence in the elderly.
RESUMO
<p><b>INTRODUCTION</b>Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in China. The incidence of CRC has been increasing in recent years. The aim of this study was to explore the incidence trends and the age distribution of CRC by subsite in Guangzhou between 2000 and 2011.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 22,432 incident cases of CRC between 2000 and 2011 from Guangzhou Cancer Registry were identified. Crude incidence and age-standardized rates (ASRs), using the Segi's world standard population, were calculated for CRC and CRC subsites. The incidence trend was analyzed and the annual percentage change (APC) in incidence was calculated by using JoinPoint software.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The crude incidence increased significantly from 23.4/10(5) in 2000 to 37.4/10(5) in 2011 for males and from 20.9/10(5) to 30.5/10(5) for females. The ASRs of CRC incidence stabilized during the period of 2000-2011 for both males and females. The ages at the onset of CRC for both males and females during 2010-2011 were significantly higher compared with those during 2000-2002 (males: t = 1.95, P = 0.05; females: t = 6.03, P < 0.01). For males aged 50-64 years, the CRC incidence increased by 8.50% annually (P = 0.04) during 2000-2004 and by 1.68% annually (P = 0.03) during 2005-2011. For females aged 65 years and older, the CRC incidence increased by 5.77% annually (P = 0.03) during 2000-2004. There were no significant changes for the CRC incidences in males aged 49 and younger and 65 years and older and females aged 64 years and younger during 2000-2004, or for those in all females as well as males aged 49 years and younger and 65 years and older during 2005-2011. The percentage of colon cancer in all CRCs increased significantly for both males and females between the periods of 2000-2002 and 2010-2011. The ASRs of descending colon and sigmoid colon cancer incidences increased significantly for females during 2005-2011 (APC, 5.51% and 1.08%, respectively, both P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The crude incidence of CRC increased significantly between 2000 and 2011 because of the aging, whereas the ASRs kept stable. The percentage of colon cancer in all CRCs increased significantly. Further surveillance, research, and intervention are needed to identify the causes of these changes and to reduce the incidence and mortality of CRC.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the difference in the efficacy on traumatic nerve injury among electroacupuncture, warm needling therapy and electroacupuncture plus warm needling therapy and explore the better therapeutic method.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The electromyography (EMG) and electroneurography (ENG) of 93 cases showed traumatic nerve injury of moderate damage. According to the single blind randomization principle, they were divided into an electroacupuncture (EA) group, a warm needling therapy (WN) group and an EA plus WN group, 31 cases in each one. The main acupoints were selected from Yangming Meridian and Shaoyang Meridian corresponding to the distribution of damaged nerves. EA, WN and EA plus WN were applied separately. The treatment was given once every day, 15 treatments made one session. After 3 sessions of treatment (45 treatments in total), EMG and ENG were re-checked and the results were analyzed statistically.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Regarding the total effective rate and effective rate, it was 96. 8% (30/31) in the EA plus WN group, which was better than 74.2% (23/31) in the EA group and 77. 4% (24/31) in the WN group (P<0. 05). Concerning to the improvements of EMG, the result in the EA plus WN group was 96.8% (30/31), which was better than the other two groups [74. 2%(23/31),74. 2%(23/31)] (P<0. 05). In terms of the recovery of nerve conduction and amplitude, the results in EA plus WN group [(50.9+/-4. 6)m/s,(8. 8+/-2. 9),microVx1 000] were better than the other two groups [(43.7+/-3.1)m/s,(4. 2+/-1. 9)microV X 1 000,(43. 8+/-3. 3)m/s,(4. 5+/-2. 2)microV X 1 000] (P<0. 05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>EA combined with WN is a better therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of traumatic nerve injury.</p>
