Enhancement of oligodendrocyte autophagy alleviates white matter injury and cognitive impairment induced by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in rats

Cognitive impairment caused by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is associated with white matter injury (WMI), possibly through the alteration of autophagy. Here, the autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) dysfunction in white matter (WM) and its relationship with cognitive impairment were investigated in rats subjected to two vessel occlusion (2VO). The results showed that cognitive impairment occurred by the 28th day after 2VO. Injury and autophagy activation of mature oligodendrocytes and neuronal axons sequentially occurred in WM by the 3rd day. By the 14th day, abnormal accumulation of autophagy substrate, lysosomal dysfunction, and the activation of mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR) pathway were observed in WM, paralleled with mature oligodendrocyte death. This indicates autophagy activation was followed by ALP dysfunction caused by autophagy inhibition or lysosomal dysfunction. To target the ALP dysfunction, enhanced autophagy by systemic rapamycin treatment or overexpression of Beclin1 (BECN1) in oligodendrocytes reduced mature oligodendrocyte death, and subsequently alleviated the WMI and cognitive impairment after CCH. These results reveal that early autophagy activation was followed by ALP dysfunction in WM after 2VO, which was associated with the aggravation of WMI and cognitive impairment. This study highlights that alleviating ALP dysfunction by enhancing oligodendrocyte autophagy has benefits for cognitive recovery after CCH.

Association between AhR in B cells and systemic lupus erythematosus with renal damage.

BACKGROUND: Renal damage is one of the typical clinical manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and few effective markers can be used to predict SLE with renal damage. Additionally, the relationship among AhR, B cells and SLE with renal damage is poorly understood. METHOD: A case-control study was performed, and the clinical and laboratory data were acquired from medical records. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the expression of AhR in B cells. RESULTS: Both the proportion of B cells in peripheral blood lymphocytes and AhR in B cells were significantly higher in SLE patients than in healthy controls. AhR in B cells was negatively correlated with complement 3 and 4 levels but was positively correlated with SLEDAI-2 K, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein and absolute lymphocyte count. Furthermore, more SLE patients suffered from renal damage and arthritis in the high-AhR B-cell group than in the low-AhR B-cell group. Interestingly, AhR in B cells was significantly increased in SLE with renal damage compared with SLE without renal damage, but no significant difference was observed between SLE with arthritis and SLE without arthritis. In addition, the area under the curve for AhR in B cells was 0.815, and its optimal cut-off level was 3.05 %, which provided a 83.3 % sensitivity and a 70.0 % specificity in predicting SLE with renal damage. CONCLUSION: AhR in B cells was correlated with SLE disease activity, and it may be a potential marker for predicting SLE with renal damage.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser combined with a topical emulsion containing Camellia reticulata and Radix Notoginseng in the treatment of melasma. Methods:A total of 80 patients with melasma were enrolled from Department of Dermatology, People′s Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from June 2019 to June 2020, and randomly and equally divided into control group and observation group by using a random number table: 40 patients in the control group were treated with long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser once every 2 weeks for 6 sessions as a course of treatment; another 40 in the observation group were treated with the same laser therapy as the control group and a topical emulsion containing Camellia reticulata and Radix Notoginseng twice a day for 3 months as a course of treatment. Melasma area and severity index (MASI), clinical efficacy, patient satisfaction rate and safety were compared between the 2 groups before and/or after treatment. Results:After 4- and 8-week treatment, there was no significant difference in the MASI score between the observation group (14.57 ± 3.22 points, 10.00 ± 2.94 points, respectively) and control group (14.74 ± 3.11 points, 11.31 ± 3.00 points, respectively; both P>0.05). After 12-week treatment, the MASI score was significantly lower in the observation group (4.80 ± 2.78 points) than in the control group (7.07 ± 3.22 points, t = -3.38, P<0.01). After 3-month treatment, the response rate was significantly higher in the observation group (36 cases, 90%) than in the control group (31 cases, 77.5%; χ2 = 4.58, P < 0.001) ; however, there was no significant difference in the patient satisfaction rate between the observation group (87.5%) and control group (72.5%, χ2 = 7.26, P = 0.06). In addition, no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse reactions was observed between the observation group (5 cases, 12.5%) and control group (7 cases, 17.5%; P > 0.05) . Conclusion:Compared with the long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser alone, the topical emulsion containing Camellia reticulata and Radix Notoginseng in combination with the long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser is more effective for the treatment of melasma, with higher patient satisfaction and less adverse reactions.

Neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio in the prediction of the prognosis of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective:To determine whether the neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio (NLR) a inflammatory factor can predict tumor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer.Methods:Between 2014 and 2019, 205 locally advanced rectal cancer patients underwent CRT before curative surgery. After propensity score matching, 148 patients (74 matched pairs) were enrolled in this study. The hematological parameters were collected and their relationship with tumor response was investigated.Results:After propensity score matching, NLR before CRT in good response group were significantly lower than that in poor response group(2.2±1.0 vs. 2.4±1.2, Z=-2.465, P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in all hematological characteristics between two groups after CRT. The cutoff values of pre-CRT NLR was 3.88 after receiver operating characteristic analysis(AUC=0.618, 95% CI: 0.528-0.708). Multivariate analysis model indicated that pre-CRT NLR≥3.88 was the predictor of poor tumor response ( OR=5.826, 95% CI: 1.299-26.132, P<0.05). Conclusion:The increased NLR before CRT can be regarded as a hematological factor for poor tumor response in locally advanced rectal cancer.

Ophthalmology rotation for general practice residency training / 中华全科医师杂志

Ophthalmology rotation is an integral part of standardized training for general practitioners. The duration of ophthalmology training is only half a month in whole 33-month general practice residency training. The main objective of training for general practice residents is to master the basic clinical skills of ophthalmology, to be able to accurately and timely identify eye diseases, especially those requiring urgent treatment, and to prevent the loss of visual function. This article introduces our teaching experience in ophthalmology training for general practice residents accumulated since 2014. We suggest that the trainees should pre-examine patients independently, play a role of standard patients and receive consultation from teachers. We developed a simple patient assessment form for primary care doctors, the patient who got 10 or more points of the form, should be referred to ophthalmological specialists.

miR-148b-3p, miR-190b, and miR-429 Regulate Cell Progression and Act as Potential Biomarkers for Breast Cancer / 한국유방암학회지

PURPOSE: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are thought to serve as potential biomarkers in various cancers, including breast cancer. METHODS: We evaluated the miRNA expression profiles in 1,083 breast cancer samples and 104 normal breast tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We used the edgeR package of R software to analyze the differentially expressed miRNAs in normal and cancer tissues, and screened survival-related miRNAs by Kaplan-Meier analysis. A receiver operating characteristic curve was generated to evaluate the accuracy of these miRNAs as molecular markers for breast cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, the functional role of these miRNAs was verified using cell experiments. Targets of candidate miRNAs were predicted using 9 online databases, and Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and pathway analyses were conducted using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery online tool. RESULTS: A total of 68 miRNAs showed significantly different expression patterns between the groups (p < 0.001), and 13 of these miRNAs were significantly associated with poor survival (p < 0.05). Three miRNAs with high specificity and sensitivity, namely, miR-148b-3p, miR-190b, and miR-429, were selected. In vitro experiments showed that the overexpression of these 3 miRNAs significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of MDA-MB-468 and T47D cells and reduced the apoptosis of T47D cells. GO and pathway enrichment analyses revealed that the targets of these dysregulated miRNAs were involved in many critical cancer-related biological processes and pathways. CONCLUSION: The miR-148b-3p, miR-190b, and miR-429 may serve as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers for breast cancer. This study demonstrated the roles of these 3 miRNAs in the initiation and progression of breast cancer.

Textured Image Demoiréing via Signal Decomposition and Guided Filtering.

Moiré artifacts are generally caused by the interference between the overlap of the sensor's sampling grid and high-frequency (nearly) periodic textures, and heavily affect the image quality. However, it is difficult to effectively remove moiré artifacts from textured images as the structure of moiré patterns is similar to that of textures in some sense. In this paper, we propose a novel textured image demoiréing method by signal decomposition and guided filtering. Given a textured image with moiré artifacts, we first remove moiré artifacts in the green (G) channel using the proposed low-rank and sparse matrix decomposition model. This model regularizes the texture layer by the low-rank prior in spatial domain and the moiré layer by sparse representation in frequency domain. An alternating direction method under the augmented Lagrangian multiplier framework is used to solve the matrix decomposition model. Then, since the red (R) and blue (B) channels are more heavily polluted by moiré artifacts than the G channel, we propose to remove moiré artifacts in its R and B channels via guided filtering by the obtained texture layer of the G channel. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for both synthetic and real images.

Contrast Enhancement Based on Intrinsic Image Decomposition.

In this paper, we propose to introduce intrinsic image decomposition priors into decomposition models for contrast enhancement. Since image decomposition is a highly illposed problem, we introduce constraints on both reflectance and illumination layers to yield a highly reliable solution. We regularize the reflectance layer to be piecewise constant by introducing a weighted ℓ1 norm constraint on neighboring pixels according to the color similarity, so that the decomposed reflectance would not be affected much by the illumination information. The illumination layer is regularized by a piecewise smoothness constraint. The proposed model is effectively solved by the Split Bregman algorithm. Then, by adjusting the illumination layer, we obtain the enhancement result. To avoid potential color artifacts introduced by illumination adjusting and reduce computing complexity, the proposed decomposition model is performed on the value channel in HSV space. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method performs well for a wide variety of images, and achieves better or comparable subjective and objective quality compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

Lossless Compression of JPEG Coded Photo Collections.

The explosion of digital photos has posed a significant challenge to photo storage and transmission for both personal devices and cloud platforms. In this paper, we propose a novel lossless compression method to further reduce the size of a set of JPEG coded correlated images without any loss of information. The proposed method jointly removes inter/intra image redundancy in the feature, spatial, and frequency domains. For each collection, we first organize the images into a pseudo video by minimizing the global prediction cost in the feature domain. We then present a hybrid disparity compensation method to better exploit both the global and local correlations among the images in the spatial domain. Furthermore, the redundancy between each compensated signal and the corresponding target image is adaptively reduced in the frequency domain. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed lossless compression method. Compared with the JPEG coded image collections, our method achieves average bit savings of more than 31%.
