RESUMEN
Based on the strategy of metabolomics combined with bioinformatics, this study analyzed the potential allergens and mechanism of pseudo-allergic reactions (PARs) induced by the combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. All animal experiments and welfare are in accordance with the requirements of the First Affiliated Experimental Animal Ethics and Animal Welfare Committee of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (approval number: YFYDW2020002). Based on UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology combined with UNIFI software, a total of 21 compounds were identified in Reduning and penicillin G mixed injection. Based on molecular docking technology, 10 potential allergens with strong binding activity to MrgprX2 agonist sites were further screened. Metabolomics analysis using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology revealed that 34 differential metabolites such as arachidonic acid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes were endogenous differential metabolites of PARs caused by combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. Through the analysis of the "potential allergen-target-endogenous differential metabolite" interaction network, the chlorogenic acids (such as chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, and isochlorogenic acid A) and β-lactam allergens in the combination of the two may be mainly regulated by PLD1, PLA2G12A and CYP1A1. The three upstream signal target proteins mainly activate the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, promote the degranulation of mast cells, release downstream endogenous inflammatory mediators, and induce PARs.
RESUMEN

RESUMEN
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its ligands amphiregulin (AREG) and epiregulin (EREG) play a central role in the development of colorectal cancer, but the prognostic values of AREG and EREG are controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis of studies that investigated AREG and/or EREG mRNA levels in primary tumors to determine their prognostic value in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). In addition, RAS status was assessed. Relevant articles were identified by searching the EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model. Nine studies involving 2167 patients were included in this meta-analysis. High AREG expression was associated with longer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). High EREG expression was also associated with prolonged OS and PFS. In RAS wild-type (WT) patients who received anti-EGFR therapy, high AREG and EREG expression was associated with longer OS. Our results indicate that high AREG and EREG mRNA expression are independent favorable prognostic biomarkers in mCRC. The expression of these ligands should be considered when evaluating prognoses in RAS-WT patients receiving anti-EGFR therapy.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the impact of breast density on computer-aided detection (CAD) for breast cancer and the CAD false-positive rate of normal controls.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two hundred and seventy-one histologically proven breast malignant lesions (from Feb. 2008 to Dec. 2009) and 238 randomly selected normal cases were classified by mammographic density according to the American College of Radiology breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS). Mammograms of BI-RADS 1 or BI-RADS 2 density were categorized as non-dense breasts, and those of BI-RADS 3 or BI-RADS 4 density were categorized as dense breasts. Full-field digital mammography (GEMS Senographe) were performed in all patients and controls with craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views. Then the image data were transferred to review workstation (SenoAdvantage), and the lesions were marked by Second Look Digital CAD system (version 7.2, iCAD). The differences of sensitivity and false-positive rate between dense and non-dense breasts were compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Overall, the sensitivity of CAD in detection of cancers was 84.1% (228/271), there was a statistically significant difference in CAD of cancers in dense versus non-dense breasts (P = 0.015). The sensitivity of CAD in detection of mass cancers was 76.5% (186/243), in detection of calcification cancers was 79.1% (125/158), there was no statistically significant difference in CAD performance for the detection of mass cancers versus calcification cancers (P = 0.547). There was a significant difference in the CAD performance for the detection of mass cancer cases in non-dense versus dense breasts (P = 0.001), but no significant difference in the CAD for the detection of calcification cancers in non-dense versus dense breasts (P = 0.216). In the controls, the distribution of mass false-positive marks did not differ significantly between non-dense and dense breast tissue cases (P = 0.207), but the distribution of calcification false-positive marks differed significantly between non-dense and dense breast tissue cases (P = 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference of false-positive marks in non-dense versus dense breasts (P = 0.043).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The sensitivity of CAD in the detection of breast cancers is impacted by breast density. There is a statistically significant difference in the CAD performance for the detection of cancer cases in non-dense versus dense breasts. The false-positive rate of CAD is lower in dense versus non-dense breasts. It appears difficult for CAD in the early detection of breast cancer in the absence of microcalcifications, particularly in dense breasts.</p>

Objective To summary the clinical applied value of interventional therapy in hepatic venous outflow obstruction after orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT).Methods The clinical data of 27 patients suspect with hepatic outflow obstruction out of OLT patients were analyzed retrospec- tively.Most of them presented with liver dysfunction,like ascites,jaundice,or hydropsia of lower ex- tremity as BCS.These patients accepted venography and endovascular treatment if venous outflow ob- struction was found.Results By venography,one case of thrombus in inferior vena cava,one case of hepatic vein stenosis,13 cases of inferior vena cava stenosis(3 cases were associated with hepatic vein stenoses)were identified.Stent implantation was successfully performed on 10 patients,and balloon angioplasty on 4 patients.Rapid,dramatic resolution of symptoms was achieved in those patients. Hepatic vein restenosis occurred in one case 8 months after balloon dilatation,and treated with stent implantation.Inferior vena cava restenosis occurred in one case 2 years after balloon dilation,and trea- ted with another balloon expanding.Patients remained completely asymptomatic at 4 months to 5 years of follow-up.Conclusion The venacavographic balloon angioplasty and metallic stent replacement are safe and useful for post-OLT with venous outflow obstruction.
RESUMEN
Objective To establish a closed-chest pulmonary embolism-reperfusion animal model by Swan-Ganz catheter and to explore the mechanisms of pulmonary embolism(PE)-reperfusion injury(RI). Methods Experiments were made on 14 mongrel dogs,ranging in weight from 15 to 18 kg,anesthetized with 3% pentobarbital sodium.The dogs were intubated with I.D.7 endotracheal tubes.Under sterile conditions,a 7 F Swan-Ganz catheter via the external jugular vein was positioned in the unilateral pulmonary diaphragmatic lobe(DL)artery.Occlusion/reperfusion of the DL artery was controlled with 1.2 ml diluted contrast agent filled into/drawn from the balloon.After the 24 h PE,the balloon was deflated to result in 4 h reperfusion of the DL.Measurements of blood gases and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)were made at normal condition,at 24 h PE and at 4 h reperfusion.Thin-section CT scans were performed at normal condition,24 h PE,30 min,1,2,3 and 4 h reperfusion,respectively.At the end of each experiment, tissue specimens of bilateral diaphragmatic lobes were obtained for both wet/dry(W/D)weight ratio and for pathological study.Results Reperfusion pulmonary edema(RPE)was an acute,mixed,noncardiogenic edema that was observed in all 14 dogs who had been successfully established as PE/RI animal models.RPE demonstrated heterogeneous ground-glass opacifications that predominated in the areas distal to the recanalized vessels.It manifested pathologically as an edematous lung infiltrated by inflammatory cells.The mean ofPaO_2 and TNF-? of 4 h reperfusion was(81?4)mm Hg(l mm Hg=0.133 kPa)and(16.0? 2.5)pg/ml,which were significantly different(P
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate diagnostic value of diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)in ringlike- enhanced lesions.Methods Nine abscesses,12 glioblastomas,10 metastases confirmed clinically or pathologically underwent conventional MRI and DTI.Average diffusion coefficient(ADC)value,fractional anisotropy(FA)value and maps were calculated in the central portion and peripheral edema of the lesions. Results On DTI,the abscesses displayed as hyperintense signal with hypointense or isointense signal of edema;but glioblastomas and metastases all showed as hypointense signal with isointense or hypointense signal of edema.On ADC map,the abscesses showed as hypointense signal,the mean ADC value was (0.66?0.07)x10~(-3)mm~2/s,The mean ADC value were(2.50?0.11)x10~(-3)mm~2/s and(2.37?0.52)x10~(-3)mm~2/s for the glioblastomas and metastases,respectively,all demonstrated as hyperintense signal with slightly hyperintense signal of edema.The difference between abscess and necrotic tumors was statistically significant(F=108.80,P
