RESUMO
Laparoscopic-assisted vaginal radical hysterectomy (LARVH) and abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) have been widely applied to treat cervical carcinoma. But LARVH and ARH have not been fully investigated in treating cervical carcinoma after injury associated with injury. This research is intended to provide an up-to-date basis for comparing LARVH with ARH in early stage cervical carcinoma. Comparison between LARVH and ARH in cervical carcinoma was carried out through a combination of related research. Eligible articles from databases such as PubMed and Embase were screened using an established search strategy. This report covered the results of LARVH versus ARH in cervical carcinoma. The average difference and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were used for the combination of consecutive variables. The combination of categorical variables was performed with the odds ratio (OR) 95% confidence interval. Through the identification of 1137 publications, eight of them were chosen to be analysed. Among them, 363 were treated with LARVH and 326 were treated with ARH. Eight trials showed that LARVH was associated with a reduced risk of postoperative wound infection than ARH (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.1-0.55, p = 0.0009). Five trials showed that there was no difference in the risk of postoperative bleeding after surgery (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.42-3.29, p = 0.76). We also did not differ significantly in the duration of the surgery (OR, 1.79; 95% CI, -6.58 to 10.15, p = 0.68). So, the two surgical methods differ significantly only in the risk of postoperative wound infection.

Regime switching is ubiquitous in many complex dynamical systems with multiscale features, chaotic behavior, and extreme events. In this paper, a causation entropy boosting (CEBoosting) strategy is developed to facilitate the detection of regime switching and the discovery of the dynamics associated with the new regime via online model identification. The causation entropy, which can be efficiently calculated, provides a logic value of each candidate function in a pre-determined library. The reversal of one or a few such causation entropy indicators associated with the model calibrated for the current regime implies the detection of regime switching. Despite the short length of each batch formed by the sequential data, the accumulated value of causation entropy corresponding to a sequence of data batches leads to a robust indicator. With the detected rectification of the model structure, the subsequent parameter estimation becomes a quadratic optimization problem, which is solved using closed analytic formulas. Using the Lorenz 96 model, it is shown that the causation entropy indicator can be efficiently calculated, and the method applies to moderately large dimensional systems. The CEBoosting algorithm is also adaptive to the situation with partial observations. It is shown via a stochastic parameterized model that the CEBoosting strategy can be combined with data assimilation to identify regime switching triggered by the unobserved latent processes. In addition, the CEBoosting method is applied to a nonlinear paradigm model for topographic mean flow interaction, demonstrating the online detection of regime switching in the presence of strong intermittency and extreme events.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Some cheap and easily used operated indexes of insulin resistance (IR) were currently available. We aimed to evaluate the association of six surrogate indexes of IR with incident stroke and to compare their predictive capacity. METHODS: We analysed data from 14,595 eligible study participants from the Rural Chinese Cohort Study. Modified Poisson regression models were used to estimate relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of incident stroke associated with the visceral adiposity index (VAI), the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), triglyceride-glucose (TyG), TyG-body mass index, and TyG-waist circumference. The receiver operator characteristic curve was used to compare the ability of the abovementioned IR indexes to predict stroke. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 6 years, 786 newly diagnosed stroke cases were identified. The levels of six surrogate indexes of IR were all significantly higher in the stroke population than in the non-stroke population (p < 0.001). Compared with quartile 1, the multivariable adjusted RRs (95% CIs) of incident stroke for quartile 4 were 2.01 (1.47-2.76), 1.62 (1.28, 2.04), 1.64 (1.28-2.09), and 1.92 (1.50-2.45) for CVAI, VAI, LAP, and TyG, respectively. Significant dose-response associations were also found between surrogate IR indexes and risk of stroke. The area under the curves|areas under the curves for CVAI (0.674) was significantly greater than for other indexes (TyG-WC:0.622, TyG:0.614, LAP:0.606, TyG-BMI:0.598, and VAI:0.577) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Six surrogate indexes of IR were independently associated with incident stroke. The CVAI may be the most suitable index for stroke prediction.

Single-crystal planes are ideal platforms for catalytic research. In this work, rolled copper foils with predominantly (220) planes were used as the starting material. By using temperature gradient annealing, which caused grain recrystallization in the foils, they were transformed to those with (200) planes. In acidic solution, the overpotential of such a foil (10 mA cm-2) was found to be 136 mV lower than that of a similar rolled copper foil. The calculation results show that hollow sites formed on the (200) plane have the highest hydrogen adsorption energy and are active centers for hydrogen evolution. Thus, this work clarifies the catalytic activity of specific sites on the copper surface and demonstrates the critical role of surface engineering in designing catalytic properties.
RESUMO
While the literature strongly supports a positive association between particulate matter with diameter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) exposure and heart failure (HF), there is uncertainty regarding the other pollutants and the dose and duration of exposure that triggers an adverse response. To comprehensively assess and quantify the association of air pollution exposure with HF incidence and mortality, we performed separate meta-analyses according to pollutant types [PM2.5, PM10, sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3)], and exposure duration (short- and long-term). We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science for relevant articles with publication dates up to July 12, 2022, identifying 35 eligible studies. Random-effects models were used to summarize the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs). For long-term exposure, the growing risk of HF was significantly associated with each 10 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5 (OR = 1.196, 95 % CI: 1.079-1.326; I2 = 76.8 %), PM10 (1.190, 1.045-1.356; I2 = 76.2 %), and NO2 (1.072, 1.028-1.118; I2 = 78.3 %). For short-term exposure, PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and O3 (per 10 µg/m3 increment) increased the risk of HF, with estimated ORs of 1.019 (1.008-1.030; I2 = 39.9 %), 1.012 (1.007-1.017; I2 = 28.3 %), 1.016 (1.005-1.026; I2 = 53.7 %), and 1.006 (1.002-1.010; I2 = 0.0 %), respectively. No significant effects of SO2 and CO exposure on the risk of HF were observed. In summary, our study powerfully highlights the deleterious impact of PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 exposure (either short- or long-term) on HF risk. Serious efforts should be made to improve air quality through legislation and interdisciplinary cooperation.

Background: Previous meta-analyses included abundant cross-sectional studies, and/or only assessed high versus low categories of UPF consumption. We conducted this meta-analysis based on prospective cohort studies to estimate the dose-response associations of UPF consumption with the risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) and all-cause mortality among general adults. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for relevant articles published up to August 17, 2021, and newly published articles between August 17, 2021 and July 21, 2022 were re-searched. Random-effects models were used to estimate the summary relative risks (RRs) and confidence intervals (CIs). Generalized least squares regression was used to estimate the linear dose-response associations of each additional serving of UPF. Restricted cubic splines were used to model the possible nonlinear trends. Results: Eleven eligible papers (17 analyses) were finally identified. The pooled effect size for the highest versus lowest category of UPF consumption showed positive associations with the risk of CVEs (RR = 1.35, 95% CI, 1.18-1.54) and all-cause mortality (RR = 1.21, 95% CI, 1.15-1.27). For each additional daily serving of UPF, the risk increased by 4% (RR = 1.04, 95% CI, 1.02-1.06) for CVEs and 2% (RR = 1.02, 95% CI, 1.01-1.03) for all-cause mortality. With increasing UPF intake, the risk of CVEs reflected a linear upward trend (Pnonlinearity = 0.095), while all-cause mortality reflected a nonlinear upward trend (Pnonlinearity = 0.039). Conclusion: Our findings based on prospective cohorts suggested that any increased level of UPF consumption was linked to higher CVEs and mortality risk. Thus, the recommendation is to control the intake of UPF in daily diet.

BACKGROUND: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an IgG-mediated autoimmune disease characterised by epithelial cell-cell detachment (acantholysis) resulting in mucocutaneous blistering. The exact pathogenesis of blister formation is unknown and this has hampered the development of non-steroidal, mechanism-based treatments for this autoimmune disease. This systematic review aims to investigate the role of caspases in the pathogenesis of PV to inform the choice of more targeted therapeutic agents. METHODS: A systematic search of MEDLINE/PubMed and Scopus databases was conducted to identify eligible studies. Multiple phases of inclusion and exclusion of the primary articles were conducted in pairs, and studies were recorded and analysed according to the latest version of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). Risk of bias assessment was conducted for extracted in vivo animal intervention studies using SYRCLE's risk of bias tool. RESULTS: Eight articles from a total of 2338 in vitro, in vivo, and human studies met the inclusion criteria, with a high degree of inter-rater reliability. By and large, the results show that caspase activation was pathogenic in experimental PV because pan-caspase inhibitors could block or reduce PV acantholysis and blistering in vitro and in vivo, respectively. The pathogenic pathways identified involved caspase-1 and caspase-3. One study failed to show any improvement in the PV model with a caspase inhibitor. The majority of animal studies had high or unclear risk of bias. CONCLUSION: There are consistent data pointing towards a pathogenic role of caspase activation in PV acantholysis. However, high-quality evidence to confirm that caspase inhibition can prevent PV-induced blistering in vivo is limited. Therefore, further research is required to test the preclinical efficacy of caspase inhibitors in PV.
RESUMO
Previous studies have confirmed long noncoding RNA LEMD1-AS1 (LEMD1-AS1) as a functional factor in several tumors. The present work is aimed at exploring the prognostic and diagnostic values of LEMD1-AS1 in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We examined the expressions of LEMD1-AS1 in pan-cancer from TCGA microarray datasets and GTEx Project. The expressions of LEMD1-AS1 were detected by qRT-PCR in EOC specimens and normal ovarian specimens from 30 EOC patients. The χ 2 test was applied to compare the clinicopathological characteristics of different groups. ROC curves were established to determine the diagnostic values of LEMD1-AS1 in screening EOC tissues. The association of LEMD1-AS1 expression with clinical outcome was determined by the Kaplan-Meier methods and COX assays. A decreased expression of LEMD1-AS1 was observed in EOC tissues compared to matched normal specimens (p < 0.01). Low LEMD1-AS1 expression could be used to distinguish EOC from adjacent normal specimens. A clinical study revealed that patients with low LEMD1-AS1 expression have a shorter overall survival (p = 0.035) and progress-free interval (p = 0.041) than those with high LEMD1-AS1 expression. The Spearman correlation test revealed that LEMD1-AS1 expressions were negatively associated with the expressions of neutrophil and myeloid dendritic cell. Overall, our finding suggested that LEMD1-AS1 may have potential roles as a potential biomarker and/or a therapeutic target in EOC.

Dairy products have been suggested to be related to the prevention of overweight or obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These associations are currently controversial, however, and a systematic quantitative meta-analysis is lacking. In this study, we examined the associations between dairy products and the risk of overweight or obesity, hypertension, and T2DM and tested for dose-response relations. We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to April 2021. Cohort studies were included if dairy food consumption was reported at a minimum of 3 levels or as continuous variables, and the associations were assessed with overweight or obesity, hypertension, and T2DM. Summary RRs and 95% CIs were estimated for the dose-response association. Restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate the linear or nonlinear relations. Among the 9887 articles retrieved, 42 articles were included. For overweight or obesity, a linear association was observed for total dairy, milk, and yogurt. The risk decreased by 25%, 7%, and 12% per 200-g/d increase for total dairy, high-fat dairy, and milk, respectively, and by 13% per 50-g/d increment of yogurt. For hypertension, a nonlinear association was observed with total dairy, whereas significant inverse associations were found for low-fat dairy (RR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.90, 0.98) and milk (RR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.92, 0.97) per 200-g/d intake increase. For T2DM, all types of dairy food consumption except for milk and low-fat dairy products showed nonlinear associations, with total dairy and yogurt intake associated with 3% and 7% lower risk per 200-g/d and 50-g/d intake increase, respectively. In conclusion, our study suggests that total dairy is associated with a low risk of overweight or obesity, hypertension, and T2DM, especially milk and yogurt for overweight or obesity, low-fat dairy and milk for hypertension, and yogurt for T2DM.

AIMS: The evidence for association between cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Chinese population is limited. We explored the association between the number of ideal CVH metrics and risk of incident T2DM in a rural Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 12,150 rural Chinese participants (median age 51 years) were enrolled. A Cox proportional-hazards model was used to assess the association between the number of ideal CVH metrics and risk of incident T2DM by using hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We another conducted multiplicative and additive interaction effect between the number of ideal CVH metrics and sex or age on incident T2DM, and subgroup analyses of the association were also conducted by sex and age. RESULTS: During a median of 6.01 years of follow-up, 840 incident cases of T2DM occurred. The number of ideal CVH metrics was negatively associated with risk of incident T2DM (per unit increase: HR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.70-0.82). We also observed both multiplicative and additive interaction effect between lower number of ideal CVH metrics and sex on incident T2DM, and multiplicative interaction effect between lower number of ideal CVH metrics and age on incident T2DM was observed. The association remained statistically significant for both men and women, or participants with age < 65 years. CONCLUSIONS: Increasing number of ideal CVH metrics was associated with reduced risk of incident T2DM, which presented age- and sex-related differential associations.

The spectra of root, stem, leaf of soybean samples with 0, 20, 40, 60 mg x L(-1) Al3+ were determined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry with OMNI-sampler. Little difference was found in the spectra of leaf between two soybean cultivars, aluminum-resistant cultivar Zhechun NO. 2 and aluminum-sensitive cultivar Zhechun NO. 3, except the indices of wave number-absorbance from 928 to 1 200 cm(-1), and similar results were also observed in stem and root samples of the two soybean cultivars with 0 mg x L(-1) Al3+. However, results from the comparison of the spectra showed some distinguishable differences in the intensity and the shape of absorption peaks of their FTIR spectra from 721 to 3 366 cm(-1) of Al-stressed samples and control samples between the two soybean cultivars, and more evident differences of FTIR were exhibited in Al-stressed roots, stems and leaves with higher concentration of Al3+. The increased absorbance at 2 929 and 3 350 cm(-1) was found in root FTIR spectra with 20, 40, 60 mg x L(-10 Al3+, while roots got maximum absorbance at wave number of 1 375 cm(-1) with 20 mg x L(-1) Al3+, which decreased with higher concentration of Al3+, and the same results were showed at wave numbers of 1 410, 1 423, 1 549 and 1 645 cm(-1). Absorption peak showed maximum at wave numbers of 1 051, 2 850, 2 929 and 3 350 cm(-1) in stem FTIR spectra with 60 mg x L(-1) Al3+. There was little difference between the spectra of Al-stressed leaves and controls at wave numbers from 1 750 to 2 750 cm(-1), but visible difference in leaf spectra was exhibited at other wave number. Moreover, the results showed that the FTIR spectra of aluminum-sensitive cultivar Zhechun NO. 3 showed much more observable differences than aluminum-resistant cultivar Zhechun NO. 2 with different concentration of Al, implying that the material metabolic of aluminum-sensitive soybean was evidently affected by Al. Therefore, FTIR spectra could be used broadly for identification of the endurance of different soybean cultivars to Al.

PURPOSE: To detect the expression and prognostic clinical significance of heat-shock protein gp96 (HSP gp96) in gallbladder cancer. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect and compare the rate of HSP gp96 expression in 107 samples of gallbladder cancer, 70 of gallbladder adenoma and 67 of chronic cholecystitis. The association of clinicopathological factors and patients' survival were calculated by univariate and multivariate (Cox proportional hazard regression method) analysis. RESULTS: The expression positive rate of HSP gp96 was 90.7% (97/107) in gallbladder cancer, 71.4% (50/70) in gallbladder adenoma and 47.76% (32/67) in chronic cholecystitis respectively. The positive rate of HSP gp96 in gallbladder cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in gallbladder adenoma and chronic cholecystitis tissues (P < 0.01). Multivariate and Cox regression analysis showed that positive of HSP gp96 (P = 0.026) expression was an independent poor prognostic predictor in gallbladder cancer. CONCLUSIONS: HSP gp96-positive expression is closely correlated with poor survival in gallbladder cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of adrenomedullin (AM) on secretory function of pancreatic islet in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and Wistar-kyoto (WKY) rat. METHODS: Ten SHRs (test group) and ten WKY rats (control group) were used. The pancreatic islets isolated from SHR and WKY rats were put into 12-well plates. The islets were incubated in RPMI-1640 medium containing 2.8 mmol/L glucose (low glucose group) for 45 minutes. The second incubation was performed in RPMI-1640 medium containing 11.1 mmol/L glucose (high glucose group) and various concentrations of AM (0, 10(-8), 10(-7), 10(-6) mol/L, respectively) for 24 hours. The supernatants from both incubations were tested by RIA for insulin and glucagon. RESULTS: The insulin concentrations in supernatants collected from the islets of WKY rats incubated in high glucose and various concentrations of AM for 24 hours were decreased in the dose dependent manner. When the islets of WKY rats and SHR were incubated in AM of high concentration (10(-6) mol/L), the insulin concentrations in supernatants decreased significantly. When the islets of SHR were incubated in high glucose and various concentrations of AM for 24 hours, the glucagon concentrations in supernatants were not significantly different. CONCLUSION: The above results demonstrate that AM inhibits insulin secretion in beta cell of islets of WKY rats in dose dependent manner, that AM that AM of high concentration inhibits insulin secretion in beta cell of islets of SHR, and that AM has no influence on the function of alpha cell of islets. These suggest that AM may contribute to the impaired beta cell function during the development of diabetes mellitus.

This animal experiment was aimed at the questions whether high glucose concentration inhibits insulin secretion (glucose toxicity, GT) of beta-cell of islets from SHR and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat and whether adrenomedullin (AM) enhances GT. Ten 6-week-old SHRs (test group) and ten 10-week-old Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) (control group) were selected. RAMI-1640 medium containing 5.6 mM glucose (normal glucose group) and 20 mM glucose (high glucose group) were applied. Various concentrations of AM (0, 10(-8), 10(-7), 10(-6) M) and RPMI-1640 medium containing high glucose were mixed, respectively. The isolated islets from rats were put into 12-well plates (90 islets/well). The islets were incubated in RAMI-1640 medium containing normal or high glucose for one hour. Then the supernatants from both incubations were determined by RIA for insulin. In SHR group, the insulin concentration in supernatants gained from high glucose group without AM was lower than that from normal glucose group (19.9+/-6.6 vs 60.9+/-33.6 mU/L, P<0.05). With the increment of the concentration of AM, insulin concentration in supernatants from islets incubated in high glucose and various concentrations of AM tended to be low further (19.9+/-6.6 vs 22.2+/-8.0 vs 21.5+/-5.6 vs 17.9+/-3.6 mU/L). The changing tendency in control group was the same as in SHR group. When the islets were incubated in normal glucose and high glucose medium, the insulin concentration in supernatant significantly decreased in SHR group compared with that in control group (P<0.01). The insulin secretion was inhibited by high glucose in beta-cell of islets from SHR and WKY. The results suggest GT to beta-cell of islets from SHR and WKY. AM tended to inhibit insulin secretion in a dose-dependent manner in beta-cell of islets from SHR and WKY. The inhibition of insulin secretion caused by high glucose in beta-cell of islets from SHR was more remarkable than from WKY. This may be related to secretion dysfunction in beta-cell of islets from SHR.

Recently some studies have showed that bone strength may avoid the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of osteoporosis(OP) by bone mineral density (BMD) alone. It was found that corrected bone mineral content (cBMC) was well correlated with bone strength. In this study bone strength was replaced by cBMC to compare it with BMD, and evaluate whether BMD has limitations in the diagnosis of OP in obese individuals. one hundred and two healthy subjects in the community with the body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 39 kg/m2 were enrolled. There were 31 males and 71 females with a mean age of 37.2 +/- 9.4 years. Their BMD and BMC of lower limbs, trunk and the whole body were measured with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). cBMC was expressed by BMC divided by weight. Intra abdominal fat area (IAFA) was measured by CT scan at the level between 4th-5th lumbar vertebra. Linear correlation analysis with SPSS 10.0 soft pack was used for statistics. The results showed that there was a positive correlation and tendency between body weight, BMI and BMD values of lower limbs, trunk and the whole body. However, negative correlation and tendency were demonstrated between body weight, BMI and cBMC, between IAFA and BMD of lower limbs, trunk and the whole body and between IAFA and cBMC as well. We found that the tendency of changes of cBMC and bone strength was similar. So we suggest in certain extent that cBMC could replace bone strength in the diagnosis of OP in obese individuals.
