Cholangiocarcinoma originates from bile duct epithelial cells and is a highly heterogeneous and aggressive malignant tumour. A deep understanding of the biological characteristics of the tumor can help to make progress in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. There are many types of animal models of cholangiocarcinoma, and different models can be induced according to different research purposes, including chemotoxic agent models, cholestatic models, implantation models, genetically engineered models, etc. This paper summarises the existing animal models of cholangiocarcinoma, compares their advantages and disadvantages as well as the application scenarios, and provides a reference for subsequent studies.

Comparison of laparoscopic and open surgery in the treatment of Mirizzi syndrome / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To compare the laparoscopic and open surgery in the treatment of Mirizzi syndrome (MS).Methods:The clinical data of 125 patients with MS undergoing surgery in Tianjin Nankai Hospital from May 2013 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 59 males and 66 females, aged (57.7±13.6) years old. Patients were divided into the laparoscopic group ( n=84) and open group ( n=41). General data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, postoperative and total hospital were compared between the groups. Patients were followed up and screened for biliary stone recurrence or biliary stenosis by phone or Wechat. Results:The postoperative hospital stay [8.00(5.25, 12.00) d vs. 13.00(10.00, 17.50) d, P<0.001] and total hospital stay [15.00 (10.25, 22.75) d vs. 22.00 (16.00, 27.50) d, P<0.001] were shorter in laparoscopic group. The conversion rate of laparoscopic group was 15.5% (13/84). No perioperative death occurred in either group. The incidence of postoperative complications were comparable between the groups [9.5%(8/84) vs. 7.3%(3/41), P>0.05]. In laparoscopic group, 64 patients were followed up [76.2% (64/84)]. During follow-up, there were two deaths, five cases of bile duct stones recurrence and one case of bile duct stenosis. In open group, 37 patients were followed up [90.2% (37/41)]. During follow-up, there were four deaths, four cases of bile duct stones recurrence. All deaths during follow-ups were non-MS-related. Conclusion:Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic surgery could shorten the total/postoperative hospital stay while does not increase the morbidity and mortality, which could be safe and feasible in the treatment of MS.

Research progress of autologous peritioneal patch for repairing defective blood vessels / 中华肝胆外科杂志

In the process of radical resection of abdominal malignant tumors, large blood vessels are often invaded, which not only increases the difficulty of operation, but also directly affects the curative effect and prognosis. As the concept of expanded radical surgery combined with vascular resection and reconstruction and related techniques have been gradually recognized, surgeons have begun to use autologous, allogeneic or artificial vessels to repair the defective blood vessels during surgery, so as to achieve the effect of radical surgery. However, due to the short comings of these materials, scholars have been looking for better alternatives. In view of the fact that the mesothelial cells of the peritoneum and the endothelial cells of the blood vessels have many similarities in embryology, histology and physiology, and peritoneum is also easier to obtain than autologous, allogeneic or artificial vessels. To make the autologous peritoneum into a patch for repairing the defective blood vessels is feasible in theoretical and technical. In this paper, we review the current research progress of autologous peritoneal patch to repair blood vessels of defect.

Unification of the M/ORF3-related proteins points to a diversified role for ion conductance in pathogenesis of coronaviruses and other nidoviruses

The new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need for a better understanding of the evolution of virus-host conflicts. ORF3a in both SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 are ion channels (viroporins) and involved in virion assembly and membrane budding. Using sensitive profile-based homology detection methods, we unify the SARS-CoV ORF3a family with several families of viral proteins, including ORF5 from MERS-CoVs, proteins from beta-CoVs (ORF3c), alpha-CoVs (ORF3b), most importantly, the Matrix (M) proteins from CoVs, and more distant homologs from other nidoviruses. By sequence analysis and structural modeling, we show that these viral families utilize specific conserved polar residues to constitute an ion-conducting pore in the membrane. We reconstruct the evolutionary history of these families, objectively establish the common origin of the M proteins of CoVs and Toroviruses. We show that the divergent ORF3a/ORF3b/ORF5 families represent a duplication stemming from the M protein in alpha- and beta-CoVs. By phyletic profiling of major structural components of primary nidoviruses, we present a model for their role in virion assembly of CoVs, ToroVs and Arteriviruses. The unification of diverse M/ORF3 ion channel families in a wide range of nidoviruses, especially the typical M protein in CoVs, reveal a conserved, previously under-appreciated role of ion channels in virion assembly, membrane fusion and budding. We show that the M and ORF3 are under differential evolutionary pressures; in contrast to the slow evolution of M as core structural component, the CoV-ORF3 clade is under selection for diversification, which indicates it is likely at the interface with host molecules and/or immune attack. IMPORTANCECoronaviruses (CoVs) have become a major threat to human welfare as the causative agents of several severe infectious diseases, namely Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and the recently emerging human coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The rapid spread, severity of these diseases, as well as the potential re-emergence of other CoV-associated diseases have imposed a strong need for a thorough understanding of function and evolution of these CoVs. By utilizing robust domain-centric computational strategies, we have established homologous relationships between many divergent families of CoV proteins, including SARS-CoV/SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a, MERS-CoV ORF5, proteins from both beta-CoVs (ORF3c) and alpha-CoVs (ORF3b), the typical CoV Matrix proteins, and many distant homologs from other nidoviruses. We present evidence that they are active ion channel proteins, and the Cov-specific ORF3 clade proteins are under selection for rapid diversification, suggesting they might have been involved in interfering host molecules and/or immune attack.

Human Identical Sequences of SARS-CoV-2 Promote Clinical Progression of COVID-19 by Upregulating Hyaluronan via NamiRNA-Enhancer Network

The COVID-19 pandemic is a widespread and deadly public health crisis. The pathogen SARS-CoV-2 replicates in the lower respiratory tract and causes fatal pneumonia. Although tremendous efforts have been put into investigating the pathogeny of SARS-CoV-2, the underlying mechanism of how SARS-CoV-2 interacts with its host is largely unexplored. Here, by comparing the genomic sequences of SARS-CoV-2 and human, we identified five fully conserved elements in SARS-CoV-2 genome, which were termed as "human identical sequences (HIS)". HIS are also recognized in both SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV genome. Meanwhile, HIS-SARS-CoV-2 are highly conserved in the primate. Mechanically, HIS-SARS-CoV-2, behaving as virus-derived miRNAs, directly target to the human genomic loci and further interact with host enhancers to activate the expression of adjacent and distant genes, including cytokines gene and angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), a well-known cell entry receptor of SARS-CoV-2, and hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2), which further increases hyaluronan formation. Noteworthily, hyaluronan level in plasma of COVID-19 patients is tightly correlated with severity and high risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and may act as a predictor for the progression of COVID-19. HIS antagomirs, which downregulate hyaluronan level effectively, and 4-Methylumbelliferone (MU), an inhibitor of hyaluronan synthesis, are potential drugs to relieve the ARDS related ground-glass pattern in lung for COVID-19 treatment. Our results revealed that unprecedented HIS elements of SARS-CoV-2 contribute to the cytokine storm and ARDS in COVID-19 patients. Thus, blocking HIS-involved activating processes or hyaluronan synthesis directly by 4-MU may be effective strategies to alleviate COVID-19 progression.

Novel Immunoglobulin Domain Proteins Provide Insights into Evolution and Pathogenesis Mechanisms of SARS-Related Coronaviruses

A novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of an emergent severe respiratory disease (COVID-19) in humans that is threatening to result in a global health crisis. By using genomic, sequence, structural and evolutionary analysis, we show that Alpha- and Beta-CoVs possess several novel families of immunoglobulin (Ig) domain proteins, including ORF8 and ORF7a from SARS-related coronaviruses and two protein groups from certain Alpha-CoVs. Among them, ORF8 is distinguished in being rapidly evolving, possessing a unique insert and a hypervariable position among SARS-CoV-2 genomes in its predicted ligand-binding groove. We also uncover many Ig proteins from several metazoan viruses which are distinct in sequence and structure but share an architecture comparable to that of CoV Ig domain proteins. Hence, we propose that deployment of Ig domain proteins is a widely-used strategy by viruses, and SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 is a potential pathogenicity factor which evolves rapidly to counter the immune response and facilitate the transmission between hosts.

OBJECTIVE： To separate and purify Alhagi sparsifolia n-butanol extract monomeric compounds， and to investigate its effects on the proliferation and metastasis of human cervical cancer HeLa cells. METHODS： The n-butanol extract was separated and purified by silica gel column， Sephadex LH-20 gel column and prep-HPLC. The structures of compounds were analyzed and identified according to physicochemical properties and spectrum （mass spectrum， hydrogen spectrum， carbon spectrum） data. Using human cervical cancer HeLa cells as objects， 5-FU as positive control， MTT assay was used to detect the inhibitory rate of HeLa cells pretreated with different doses of compounds （6.25， 12.5， 25， 50， 100， 200 μg/mL）； IC50 was calculated to screen active monomers. Scratch test was used to investigate the effects of above active monomers （all 50 μg/mL） on the migration ability of HeLa cells. Kim’s formula was used to evaluate the effects of 5-FU separately combined with above active monomers [（3.125+6.25），（6.25+12.5），（12.5+25），（25+50）μg/mL]. RESULTS： Six compounds were isolated from the n-butanol extract part of A. sparsifolia and identified as butin （Ⅰ）， 3′，4′，7-trihydroxyisoflavone （Ⅱ）， p-methoxyphenylacetic acid （Ⅲ）， 4-hydroxyacetophenone （Ⅳ）， aurantiamide acetate （Ⅴ）， protocatechualdehydea （Ⅵ）. Compared with blank control group， 5-FU and each compound （5-FU：6.25-200 μg/mL， compound Ⅰ： 12.5-200 μg/mL； compound Ⅱ： 25， 50， 200  μg/mL； compound Ⅲ： 6.25， 100， 200 μg/mL； compound Ⅳ： 50， 100， 200 μg/mL； compound Ⅴ： 12.5， 25， 200 μg/mL； compound Ⅵ： 6.25-200 μg/mL） could significantly increase the cell inhibition rate. IC50 of compound Ⅰ， Ⅴ， Ⅵ were decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， and those of compound Ⅰ and Ⅵ were lower relatively. The migration distance of cells in 5-FU and compound Ⅰ and Ⅵgroups were decreased significantly， compared with blank control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. 5-FU separately combined with compound Ⅰ and Ⅵ showed additive and enhanced inhibitory effects on the proliferation of HeLa cells （synergistic index＞0.9）. CONCLUSIONS： Compounds Ⅰ-Ⅵ are isolated from Alhagi for the first time. Butin and protocatechualdehydea are active monomers of its n-butanol extract part. Above two monomers can inhibit the proliferation and migration of human cervical cancer Hela cells， with strong inhibitory effect in vitro， and stronger inhibitory effect combined with 5-FU than any compound alone.

Objective: To study the clinical outcomes of stent-thrombosis (ST) at different times in patients after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Methods: A total of 131 coronary angiography conifrmed ST patients in our hospital from 2005-01 to 2015-04 were studied. According to the time of ST occurrence, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Early ST group, ST occurred ≤30 days,n=42 and Late ST group, ST occurred >30 days,n=89. The in-hospital and follow-up information was collected; clinical outcomes were compared between 2 groups. Results: The in-hospital MACE occurrence rate in Early ST group was higher than that in Late ST group (16.7% vs 4.5%),P=0.04. There were 123 patients survived to discharge and they were followed-up for the median of 38.00 (15.00, 62.00) months. Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated that the MACE-free survival was similar between 2 groups (41.9% vs 36.3%), P=0.43. Conclusion: In-hospital MACE occurrence was higher in early ST patients, while the long term prognosis was similar between the early and late ST patients for whom with DES implantation.

Risk factor and prognosis of concurrent depression in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous coronary intervention / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To study the risk factor and prognosis of concurrent depression in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Two hundred and ninety-five AMI patients who received PCI and whose clinical data were complete were selected. Depression was determined by a self-rating scale (SDS), and was confirmed when SDS standard score≥53 scores. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the ages:senium (age ≥ 60 years, 144 cases) group and younger group (age<60 years, 151 cases). Multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of depression. The patients were followed up for 1 year, and the rehospitalization rate, incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at 12 months were compared. Results The incidence of depression in senium group was significantly higher than that in younger group: 41.7%(60/144) vs. 21.2%(32/151), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Female gender, hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus were the independent risk factor for depression in patients with AMI after PCI (P<0.05). In senium group, the rehospitalization rate and incidence of MACE in patients with depression were significantly higher than those in patients without depression: 18.3% (11/60) vs. 6.0% (5/84) and 15.0% (9/60) vs. 4.8%(4/84), the LVEF was significantly lower than that in patients without depression:(41.50 ± 2.25)%vs. (49.76 ± 2.93)%, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The LVEF in patients with depression of senium group was significantly lower than that in patients with depression of younger group:(41.50 ± 2.25)%vs. (51.50 ± 2.32)%, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions The elderly AMI patients treated with PCI have higher rates of depression. Female gender, hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus are the important risk factor for depression after PCI. Depression has a significant effect on the prognosis of AMI patients, especially on LVEF in elderly patients.

A preliminary study on the relevance of facial morphologic angles of Xi'an youths / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To explore the correlativity between facial morphologic angles of Xi'an youths.Methods:60 Xi'an residents aged 18 -40 years(30 males and 30 females)with normal facial profile,without operation and trauma experience,received 3dMD scaning.12 morphologic angles were measured.Data were statistically analysed by SPSS 19.0 software.The correlative relationship and formulas of facial angles were studied.Results:Nasofrontal angle of the males was larger than that of the females(P 0.05).Correlativity between each pair of 5 angles was concluded by a logic diagram(R≥0.7),the correlativity of 4 pairs was positive and 3 negative.Conclusion:The facial morphologic angles of Xi'an youths are correlated and coordinated.
