[Effect and mechanism of ubiquitin-like protein FAT10 on Angâ ¡ induced endothelial cell inflammation].

Objective: To investigate the role and related mechanism of ubiquitin-like protein FAT10 in the angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ)-induced endothelial cell inflammatory responses. Methods: The Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of FAT10 in 16-weeks old WKY rat carotid artery, thoracic aorta artery, renal artery and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231). The optimal concentration and stimulation time of AngⅡ on inducing the highest FAT10 in HUVEC were determined. The following plasmids were constructed: control plasmid, overexpression FAT10 plasmid (Flag-FAT10), invalid interference plasmid, and interference FAT10 plasmid (sh-FAT10). These plasmids were then transfected into HUVEC cells and divided into following groups: control group, Flag-FAT10 group, invalid interference group, and sh-FAT10 group. After culturing with 100 nmol/L AngⅡ for 36 h, the control group and the Flag-FAT10 group were treated with reactive oxygen species scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​(NAC), the protein expression levels of the inflammatory factor monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured. Laser confocal microscopy was used to detect the generation levels of reactive oxygen species in the cells of vrious groups. Results: FAT10 was expressed in carotid artery, thoracic aorta, and renal artery of normal blood pressure rats and expressed in HUVEC, VSMC, MDA-MB-231. The expression level of FAT10 gradually increased in proportion to the increase of the time and concentration of AngⅡ stimulation in HUVEC, and the expression level of FAT10 was the highest when the HUVEC was treated with 100 nmol/L AngⅡ for 36 h (P<0.01). The protein expression level of MCP-1 (P<0.001) and TNF-α (P<0.01) was higher in AngⅡ treated HUVEC with FAT10 overexpression, while the expression level of MCP-1 and TNF-α protein was lower in AngⅡ treated HUVEC with FAT10 knockdown (all P<0.01). The level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was significantly increased with FAT10 overexpression (P<0.001), and the level of ROS was decreased when the expression of FAT10 was interfered (P<0.05). The increased level of MCP-1 and TNF-α proteins in FAT10 overexpressed HUVEC was reversed by NAC (all P<0.05). Conclusion: FAT10 promotes the release of inflammatory factors induced by AngⅡ in endothelial cells by increasing the level of intracellular ROS production.

[Effect of ileostomy on the clinical outcomes of children with very early onset inflammatory bowel disease].

To explore the effect of ileostomy on clinical outcomes of children with very early onset inflammatory bowel disease(VEO-IBD). The clinical data of 11 children with VEO-IBD who underwent ileostomy in the Department of Gastroenterology of the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical characteristics and outcomes were analyzed. A total of 11 cases were included, including 7 males and 4 females, aged 3.0 (0.9, 8.0) months. The main clinical manifestations were fever and diarrhea, with L2 type the main lesion site (according to the Paris classification of childhood Crohn's disease). There were 7 cases of gene type interleukin (IL)-10RA. After VEO-IBD ileostomy, the disease site, incidence of growth disorders, the weighted children's Crohn's disease activity index, the simplified endoscopic score of Crohn's disease, and severe mucosal inflammation activity rate were all lower than those before ileostomy (all P<0.05). The postoperative inflammatory indicators and factors were lower than those before ileostomy (all P<0.05). The mucosal barrier indicators after ileostomy were increased than before (all P<0.05). The nutritional evaluation indicators after ileostomy were improved (P<0.05). Ileostomy can reduce inflammatory response of VEO-IBD, improve intestinal mucosal barrier, reduce disease activity, and improve nutritional status.

Clinical effectiveness of fluorouracil and cisplatin intraperitoneal perfusion combined with intravenous chemotherapy for peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, often accompanied by peritoneal metastasis. This work aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of intraperitoneal perfusion of fluorouracil and cisplatin combined with intravenous chemotherapy for the treatment of peritoneal metastasis in GC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 286 patients with primary GC admitted to the hospital from March 2017 to December 2020 were recruited in the study. A 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted, with the normal control (NC) group and experimental (E) group being composed of patients who underwent the corresponding treatment for primary GC with surgery within 2 months and the same pathological tumor-node-metastasis (pTNM) stage. The NC group consisted of 143 patients receiving only intravenous chemotherapy, while the E group consisted of 143 patients receiving intraperitoneal perfusion of fluorouracil and cisplatin combined with intravenous chemotherapy. Baseline characteristics, clinical efficacy, complications, peritoneal recurrence and metastasis, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) of the patients, as well as their quality of life (QoL) after chemotherapy, were compared between groups. RESULTS: After six cycles of chemotherapy, DFS was observed in both groups (70% vs. 59%; 48% vs. 29.7%; p<0.05), so did OS (85.7% vs. 85.4%; 73.1% vs. 69.3%; p>0.05). The total effective rate of treatment in the E group (46.15%) was drastically superior to that in the NC group (27.97%), and the total recurrence and metastasis rate of the E group (23.08%) was markedly inferior to that of the NC group (83.9%) (p<0.05). The total incidence of adverse reactions in the E group (11.89%) was considerably inferior to that in the NC group (35.66%) (p<0.05). In addition, the E group had markedly superior scores for physical function (PF), emotional function (EF), role function (RF), social function (SF), and cognitive function (CF) than the NC group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Intraperitoneal perfusion of fluorouracil and cisplatin combined with intravenous chemotherapy for the treatment of peritoneal metastasis in GC had certain benefits for patients and is worth applying in clinical practice.

[The effect of platelet infusion on the repair of bone marrow hematopoietic niche damage in mice induced by (60)Co radiation and hematopoietic reconstruction after bone marrow transplantation].

Objective: To observe the effect of platelets on hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) implantation in mice with radiation-induced bone marrow injury and bone marrow transplantation models. Methods: ①Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into a single irradiation group and a radiation infusion group after receiving (60)Co semimyeloablative irradiation for 18-10 weeks. The irradiation infusion group received 1×10(8) platelets expressing GFP fluorescent protein. ② The allogeneic bone marrow transplantation model was established. The experimental groups included the simple transplantation group (BMT) and the transplantation infusion group (BMT+PLT). The BMT group was infused through the tail vein only 5 × 10(6) bone marrow cells, the BMT+PLT group needs to be infused with bone marrow cells at the same time 1× 10(8) platelets. ③ Test indicators included peripheral blood cell and bone marrow cell counts, flow cytometry to detect the proportion of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and hematopoietic progenitor cells, bone marrow cell proliferation and apoptosis, and pathological observation of vascular niche damage and repair. Results: ①On the 3rd, 7th, 14(th), and 21st days after irradiation, the bone marrow cell count of the infusion group was higher than that in the single irradiation group (P<0.05), and the peripheral blood cell count was also higher. A statistically significant difference was found between the white blood cell count on the 21st day and the platelet count on the 7th day (P<0.05). In the observation cycle, the percentage of bone marrow cell proliferation in the infusion group was higher, while the percentage of apoptosis was lower. ② The results of bone tissue immunofluorescence after irradiation showed that the continuity of hematopoietic niche with red fluorescence was better in the irradiation infusion group. ③The chimerism percentage in the BMT+PLT group was always higher than that in the BMT group after transplantation.④ The BMT+PLT group had higher bone marrow cell count and percentage of bone marrow cell proliferation on the 7th and 28th day after transplantation than that in the BMT group, and the percentage of bone marrow cell apoptosis on the 14th day was lower than that in the BMT group (P<0.05). After the 14th day, the percentage of stem progenitor cells in the bone marrow cells of mice was higher than that in the BMT group (P<0.05). ⑤The immunohistochemical results of bone marrow tissue showed that the continuity of vascular endothelium in the BMT+PLT group was better than that in the BMT group. Conclusion: Platelet transfusion can alleviate the injury of vascular niche, promotes HSC homing, and is beneficial to hematopoietic reconstruction.

[Effects of three-dimensional computed tomography angiography-assisted free medial sural artery perforator flap in repairing foot wounds].

Objective: To investigate the effects of three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA)-assisted free medial sural artery perforator flap in repairing foot wounds. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From May 2018 to August 2021, 18 patients with foot soft tissue defects who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Spine and Trauma Orthopedics of the Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang, including 13 males and 5 females, aged 19 to 55 years, with a wound area of 4.0 cm×3.0 cm-9.0 cm×8.0 cm at admission. Before the operation, CT scanner was used to scan the area from the supracondylar femur to the middle segment of the fibula of patients, and the obtained data were extracted into the Mimics16.0 software and analyzed to determine the pre-selected perforator, and then the image data of the pre-selected perforator side were analyzed further, and the body surface projection position of the perforating point of the medial sural artery in the calf region was marked. Based on the above examination, the flap was designed and cut according to the shape and area of the patient's foot tissue defect, and the area of flaps ranged from 5.0 cm×4.0 cm to 10.0 cm×9.0 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly or covered by skin grafting. The type of perforator, the diameters of perforator at the beginning and outlet point, and the location of the outlet point of perforator of the medial sural artery were observed under 3D-CTA examination before operation and compared to see if they were consistent with the observation under intraoperative condition. The survival of the flaps after operation was recorded. During follow-up, the satisfaction of patients with the wound repair effects, the sensory recovery of the recipient flaps, the healing of the donor wound, and whether there were complications affecting limb functions were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with Kappa consistency test and equivalence test, and the 95% confidence intervals of measurement difference of perforator diameter and outlet point position of perforator were -0.50-0.50 mm and -2.0-2.0 cm, respectively. Results: The types of medial sural artery perforators observed during operation were type Ⅰ in 3 cases, type ⅡA in 6 cases, type ⅡB in 8 cases, and type Ⅲ in 1 case, which was consistent with the results of 3D-CTA before operation (Kappa=1.00, P<0.05). The blood vessel diameter detected by 3D-CTA before operation at the beginning of perforator of medial sural artery was (1.81±0.39) mm, and the blood vessel diameter at the outlet point of the perforator was (0.83±0.21) mm, which were close to the actual intraoperative measurement of (1.83±0.43) and (0.86±0.22) mm, respectively; equivalence test showed that the 95% confidence intervals of the measurement differences of diameter of medial sural artery perforator at beginning and outlet point were -0.18-0.22 and -0.08-0.14 mm, respectively, with both P values <0.05. The preoperative 3D-CTA detected that the perforating position at the deep fascia of the perforator of the medial sural artery, namely the vertical distance with the popliteal fold was (12.2±1.4) cm, and the horizontal distance with the posterior midline was (2.6±0.7) cm, which were respectively close to the actual intraoperative measurement of (12.4±1.4) and (2.6±0.7) cm; equivalence test showed that the 95% confidence intervals of the measurement differences in the vertical distance with the popliteal fold and the horizontal distance with the posterior midline of the outlet point of medial sural artery perforator were -1.06-1.26 and -0.46-0.66 cm, respectively, with both P values <0.05. After surgery, all flaps of 18 patients survived without vascular crisis. After 1 year of follow-up, the satisfaction degree of 16 patients was excellent and 2 patients was good with the wound repair effects, with a satisfaction ratio of 16/18; the sensory recovery of flap was evaluated as S3 in 11 cases and S2 in 7 cases; the donor wounds healed well without obvious scar or contracture, with no effect on limb joint functions. Conclusions: The medial sural artery perforator flap achieved good results in repairing foot wound with high degree of patient satisfaction. Preoperative application of 3D-CTA can realize the standardization, systematization, and visualization of artery perforator flap.

[A clinical cohort study of split and whole liver transplantations].

Objective: To investigate the surgical efficacy of split liver transplantation. Methods: Patients who underwent liver transplantation at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between January 2015 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into split liver transplantation group (n=60) and whole liver transplantation group (n=765)according to graft types.In the split liver transplantation group, there were 23 males and 37 females, aged (52.5±10.2) years, and the body mass index was (22.4±3.3) kg/m2. In the whole liver transplantation group, there were 630 males and 135 females, aged (51.2±9.6) years, and body mass index was (24.5±3.7) kg/m2.The basic data of the two groups were matched 1∶1 using the propensity score matching method. The independent sample t test and χ2 test were used to compare the intraoperative and postoperative recovery of the two groups of donors and recipients. The overall survival rate and the graft survival rate of the two groups were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and the cumulative survival rate was compared by the Log-rank test. Results: Fifty-one well-matched pairs of data with similar baseline characteristics were obtained. The ratio of graft mass to recipient body weight in the matched split liver transplantation group was (1.78±0.55)%. Operation time(M(IQR))(10.8(1.5)hours vs. 8.0(1.9)hours,U=6.608,P<0.01) and cold ischaemia time(5.4(1.3)hours vs. 4.6(2.2)hours,U=2.825,P=0.005) were significantly longer in the split liver transplantation group than those in the whole liver transplantation group. Intra-operative anhepatic phase(53.0(15.0)minutes vs. 57.0(24.0)minutes,U=1.048,P=0.295),bleeding volume(1 000(1 400)ml vs. 1 200(1 200)ml,U=0.966,P=0.334) and intraoperative instillation of red blood cells(9.0(6.5)U vs. 11.0(11.0)U,U=1.732,P=0.083) were not significantly different between the two groups. However,the split liver transplantation group showed significantly longer postoperative intensive care unit stay(5.0(3.0)days vs. 4.0(4.0)days,U=2.677,P=0.007) and postoperative hospital stay(30.0(15.0)days vs. 26.0(15.0)days,U=2.237,P=0.025) and significantly higher incidence of postoperative complications(56.8%(29/51) vs. 36.6%(19/51),χ2=3.935,P=0.047) than the whole liver transplantation group. Furthermore,levels of alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase were significantly higher on postoperative days 1,4 and 7 in the split liver transplantation group(all P<0.05) than in the whole liver transplantation group;however,there were no significant differences in these levels on postoperative days 14 and 28. The time to restoration of normal liver function in both groups(12.5(13.7)days vs. 9.0(12.5)days,U=1.607,P=0.108) was not statistically significant. Furthermore,the median follow-up time after surgery was 25.6 months in both groups. In postoperative years 1,2,3 and 5, the graft survival rates were 88.1%,80.8%,77.8% and 66.7% in the whole liver transplantation group and 80.3%,70.3%,67.3% and 60.5% in the split liver transplantation group(P=0.171),respectively. The patient survival rates in post-operative years 1,2,3 and 5 were 88.1%,80.8%,77.8% and 66.7% in the whole liver transplantation group and 80.3%,75.9%,70.3% and 63.3% in the split liver transplantation group,respectively(P=0.252). However,the differences of graft survival rates and patient survival rates between the two groups were not significant. Conclusion: Although it affects the early recovery of patients after liver transplantation,split liver transplantation has no effect on long-term survival rates and demonstrates surgical efficacy similar to that of whole liver transplantation.

The surgery had a satisfactory outcome. The condition of the left eye is progressing and will require further surgical treatment.

Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Herbs combined with bioelectrical stimulation on patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis type thin endometrium: a retrospective observational study.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of Traditional Chinese Herbs (TCH) combined with bioelectrical stimulation (BES) on patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis type thin endometrium. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective observational study was conducted on 83 patients diagnosed with thin endometrium, treated in our hospital from August 2019 to August 2021. The clinical data of the patients were reviewed, and 60 eligible patients were categorized into two groups based on the treatment they received: the TCH-BES group (n=30, patients received Femoston, TCH and BES treatment) and the control group (n=30, patients received Femoston only). The endometrial thickness (EMT), uterine artery resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI), serum reproductive hormone levels, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, and clinical pregnancy outcomes between the two groups were compared. Continuous data were described as mean ± standard deviation (X- ± S). Student's t-test was used for comparison between the two groups and paired-sample t-test was used for comparison within the same group before and after the treatment. RESULTS: A total of 60 patients with thin endometrium, aged 20-35 years (average, 31.67±3.19 years), were included in this study. After the treatment, the EMT, E2 and progesterone (P) levels of the TCH-BES group were higher than that of the control group (p<0.001, p<0.05 and p<0.001, respectively), the PI, RI level and TCM syndrome scores of the TCH-BES group were lower than those of the control group (p<0.001). The clinical efficacy and pregnancy rate in the TCH-BES group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: TCH combined with EBS has a satisfactory efficacy on patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis type thin endometrium, and improves EMT, E2 and P levels, reduces PI, RI and TCM syndrome, and eventually leads to a favorable clinical pregnancy outcome.

[Correlation analysis of age and microbial characteristics in saliva and feces of high-risk population of upper gastrointestinal cancer].

Objective: To explore the correlation between age and diversity and microbial composition in saliva and feces microbiota in high-risk population of upper gastrointestinal cancer. Methods: Based on the national project on early diagnosis and early treatment of upper gastrointestinal cancer, 38 participants were enrolled in Linzhou in Henan province in August 2019. The participant information was collected by questionnaire. Saliva and feces specimens were collected from each participant for 16S rRNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between age and α diversity (Observed ASVs and Shannon index) and relative abundance of microbiota (phyla, genera, and species) in saliva and feces. Results: The median age (age range) of 38 participants was 54 (43-60) years old, and there were 16 males (42.1%). The Observed ASVs of saliva was negatively correlated with age (rs=-0.35, P<0.05), but the observed ASVs of feces was not correlated with age. In saliva, the relative abundance of Treponema (rs=‒0.44, P<0.05), Alloprevotella (rs=‒0.42, P<0.05), and Porphyromonas (rs=‒0.41,P<0.05) were significantly negatively correlated with age. At the species level, the relative abundance of Porphyromonas endodontalis, Alloprevotella tannerae, Haemophilus influenza, Moraxella bovoculi, Prevotella sp.oral clone ID019, and Prevotella sp.oral clone ASCG10 in saliva were significantly negatively correlated with age, and the rs values were -0.50, -0.40, -0.38, -0.35, -0.33 and -0.33 (P<0.05), respectively. In feces, the relative abundance of Enterobacteria (rs=-0.35, P<0.05), Escherichia (rs=-0.33, P<0.05), and Bifidobacteria (rs=0.33, P<0.05) were correlated with age. At the species level, the relative abundance of Romboutsia sedimentorum, Citrobacter murliniae, and bacteroides uniformis in feces were correlated with age, and the rs values were -0.42, -0.37 and 0.36 (P<0.05), respectively. Conclusion: Age of the high-risk population of upper gastrointestinal cancer is correlated with the relative abundance of microbiota in saliva and feces.

[A case of ocular siderosis caused by iron ore].

A patient complained of vision loss of his left eye which was crushed by iron ore for 11 months. The cornea of the injured eye was thin and swollen, and a large amount of rust-like material was observed to be deposited. An intraocular foreign body was found by orbital CT. During vitrectomy, a piece of metal sheet was found near the ora serrate, and the intraocular structure was severely damaged, and characterized by vitreous brown turbidity, a white optic disc, occlusion of blood vessels in the fundus, and peripheral retinal atrophy with degeneration. The patient was diagnosed as ocular siderosis in the left eye.

A fast radio burst source at a complex magnetized site in a barred galaxy.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are highly dispersed, millisecond-duration radio bursts1-3. Recent observations of a Galactic FRB4-8 suggest that at least some FRBs originate from magnetars, but the origin of cosmological FRBs is still not settled. Here we report the detection of 1,863 bursts in 82 h over 54 days from the repeating source FRB 20201124A (ref. 9). These observations show irregular short-time variation of the Faraday rotation measure (RM), which scrutinizes the density-weighted line-of-sight magnetic field strength, of individual bursts during the first 36 days, followed by a constant RM. We detected circular polarization in more than half of the burst sample, including one burst reaching a high fractional circular polarization of 75%. Oscillations in fractional linear and circular polarizations, as well as polarization angle as a function of wavelength, were detected. All of these features provide evidence for a complicated, dynamically evolving, magnetized immediate environment within about an astronomical unit (AU; Earth-Sun distance) of the source. Our optical observations of its Milky-Way-sized, metal-rich host galaxy10-12 show a barred spiral, with the FRB source residing in a low-stellar-density interarm region at an intermediate galactocentric distance. This environment is inconsistent with a young magnetar engine formed during an extreme explosion of a massive star that resulted in a long gamma-ray burst or superluminous supernova.

[Three cases of hemodiafiltration for the treatment of CAR-T related grade 3 - 4 cytokine release syndrome after ineffective treatment with IL-6 receptor inhibitors].

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of hemodiafiltration (HDF) in treating CAR-T related grade 3-4 cytokine release syndrome after ineffective treatment with IL-6 receptor inhibitors. Methods: Between July 2015 and July 2021, retrospective analysis of hemodiafiltration for the treatment of 3 patients, including 2 cases of acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia and 1 case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, with grade 3-4 CRS after CAR-T cell therapy and ineffective treatment with IL-6 receptor inhibitor was carried out. Results: The patient's clinical symptoms, including body temperature, blood pressure, and blood oxygen, were relieved within 12 hours of all treatments, and the cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, INF-γ) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels decreased significantly. No adverse side effects were observed during the follow-up period of 3 months. Conclusion: HDF can be a safe and feasible method to treat CAR-T related grade 3- 4 CRS after ineffective treatment with IL-6 receptor inhibitors.

[Progress in the methods for evaluating depth of bone invasion and bone invasion of lower gingival squamous cell carcinoma].

The depth of invasion is a new index in the 8th edition of TNM classification and staging of oral cancer. Currently, there is no standardized evaluation method for the diagnosis of bone invasion and depth of invasion in lower gingival squamous cell carcinoma (LGSCC). The evaluation of LGSCC bone invasion depth not only provides a reference for surgical margin, but also determines the choice of surgical method, and is an independent prognostic factor for predicting cervical lymphatic metastasis. At present, the main evaluation methods of LGSCC bone invasion and invasion depth include X-ray, MRI, CT, positron emission tomography(PET)/CT, PET/MRI, singlephoton emission CT(SPECT)/CT and pathological examination. In this paper, the evaluation methods and effects of LGSCC bone invasion and invasion depth are summarized, and its advantages and disadvantages are analyzed in order to provide reference for clinical application.
