RESUMO

Objective: To construct a diabetes foot prediction model for adult patients with type 2 diabetes based on retrospective cohort study using data from a regional health data platform. Methods: Using Yinzhou Health Information Platform of Ningbo, adult patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2022 were included in this study and divided randomly the train and test sets according to the ratio of 7∶3. LASSO regression model and bidirectional stepwise regression model were used to identify risk factors, and model comparisons were conducted with net reclassification index, integrated discrimination improvement and concordance index. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were constructed, and a nomogram plot was drawn. Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated as a discriminant evaluation indicator for model validation test its calibration ability, and calibration curves were drawn to test its calibration ability. Results: No significant difference existed between LASSO regression model and bidirectional stepwise regression model, but the better bidirectional stepwise regression model was selected as the final model. The risk factors included age of onset, gender, hemoglobin A1c, estimated glomerular filtration rate, taking angiotensin receptor blocker and smoking history. AUC values (95%CI) of risk outcome prediction at year 5 and 7 were 0.700 (0.650-0.749) and 0.715(0.668-0.762) for the train set and 0.738 (0.667-0.801) and 0.723 (0.663-0.783) for the test set, respectively. The calibration curves were close to the ideal curve, and the model discrimination and calibration powers were both good. Conclusions: This study established a convenient prediction model for diabetic foot and classified the risk levels. The model has strong interpretability, good discrimination power, and satisfactory calibration and can be used to predict the incidence of diabetes foot in adult patients with type 2 diabetes to provide a basis for self-assessment and clinical prediction of diabetic foot disease risk.

RESUMO

Objective: To introduce our experience on dealing with the internal carotid artery (ICA) during the resection of lateral skull base tumors, and to explore the reference values for using radiological findings to make a rational surgical plan. Methods: A retrospective study of patients who underwent resection of lateral skull base tumors involving ICA at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from May 2015 to May 2021 was conducted. The demographic information, preoperative examinations, diagnosis, surgical details and follow-ups were collected. A total of 41 patients were enrolled [24 (58.5%] females, 17 (41.5%) males], with an average age of 47.9 years. According to the preoperative imaging findings, the relationships between the tumors and ICA were divided into four types: adjacency, compression, invasion and ICA aneurysm. Results: The ICA was preserved in 32 (78.0%, 32/41) cases and was reconstructed in nine (22.0%, 9/41) cases. All the 27 (65.9%, 27/41) tumors adjacent to ICA were successfully separated from the artery. Among the 11 tumors compressing the ICA, six were resected with the involved ICA segment and vascular reconstruction was conducted. One (2.4%, 1/41) tumor invading ICA and two (4.9%, 2/41) ICA aneurysms required revascularization. The mean follow-up time was (26.1±2.9) months. There was no recurrence, except one case of adenoid cystic carcinoma which had brain metastases one year after surgery. Conclusions: According to the preoperative imaging, lateral skull base tumors adjacent to ICA can be detached from the vascular surface. Separation should be attempted first for tumors compressing ICA, and revascularization should be followed if separation failed. Vascular reconstruction is usually needed in the removal of tumors invading ICA and ICA aneurysms. Preoperative radiology can provide good references for planning a surgery for lateral skull base tumors.

RESUMO

Objective: To observe the clinical effects of free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap combined with artificial dermis and split-thickness skin graft in the treatment of degloving injury in lower limbs. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From December 2017 to December 2020, 8 patients with large skin and soft tissue defect caused by degloving injury in lower extremity were admitted to Ningbo No.6 Hospital, including 5 males and 3 females, aged from 39 to 75 years, with wound area of 25 cm×12 cm-61 cm×34 cm. The free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap with latissimus dorsi muscle in the width of 12-15 cm and flap area of 20 cm×8 cm-32 cm×8 cm was used to repair the skin and soft tissue defect of bone/tendon exposure site or functional area. The other defect was repaired with bilayer artificial dermis, and the flap donor site was sutured directly. After the artificial dermis was completely vascularized, the split-thickness skin graft from thigh was excised and extended at a ratio of 1∶2 to 1∶4 and then transplanted to repair the residual wound, and the donor site of skin graft was treated by dressing change. The survival of latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, artificial dermis, and split-thickness skin graft after operation was observed, the interval time between artificial dermis transplantation and split-thickness skin graft transplantation was recorded, and the healing of donor site was observed. The appearance and function of operative area were followed up. At the last outpatient follow-up, the sensory recovery of flap was evaluated by British Medical Research Council evaluation criteria, the flap function was evaluated by the comprehensive evaluation standard of flap in Operative Hand Surgery, the scar of lower limb skin graft area and thigh skin donor area was evaluated by Vancouver scar scale, and the patient's satisfaction with the curative effects was asked. Results: The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap survived in 6 patients, while the distal tip of latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap was partially necrotic in 2 patient and was repaired by skin grafting after resection at split-thickness skin grafting. The artificial dermis survived in all 8 patients after transplantation. The split-thickness skin graft survived in 7 patients, while partial necrosis of the split-thickness skin graft occurred in one patient and was repaired by skin grafting again. The interval time between artificial dermis transplantation and split-thickness skin graft transplantation was 15-26 (20±5) d. The donor site of latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap healed with linear scar after operation, and the thigh skin graft donor site healed with scar after operation. The patients were followed up for 6-18 (12.5±2.3) months. The color and elasticity of the flap were similar to those of the surrounding skin tissue, and the lower limb joint activity returned to normal. There was no increase in linear scar at the back donor site or obvious hypertrophic scar at the thigh donor site. At the last outpatient follow-up, the sensation of the flap recovered to grade S2 or S3; 3 cases were excellent, 4 cases were good, and 1 case was fair in flap function; the Vancouver scar scale score of lower limb skin graft area was 4-7 (5.2±0.9), and the Vancouver scar scale score of thigh skin donor area was 1-5 (3.4±0.8). The patients were fairly satisfied with the curative effects. Conclusions: In repairing the large skin and soft tissue defect from degloving injury in lower extremity, to cover the exposed bone/tendon or functional area with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and the residual wound with artificial dermis and extended split-thickness skin graft is accompanied by harvest of small autologous flap and skin graft, good recovery effect of functional area after surgery, and good quality of healing in skin grafted area.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia complicated with mucormycosis, and to improve the understanding of the disease. Methods: The clinical data of 3 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) complicated with mucormycosis treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between October 2020 and January 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Literature search and review covered the China national knowledge infrastructure, Wanfang database and Pubmed using the keywords of "acute lymphoblastic leukemia" and "mucormycosis" up to June 2021. Results: Case 1, a 12-year-old boy, was diagnosed with ALL, developed fever and chest pain during induction therapy. The Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) testing of alveolar perfusion fluid suggested infection with Rhizopus oryzae. Amphotericin B combined with posaconazole was applied and amphotericin B was removed after improvement. Bone destruction was indicated by CT. Amphotericin B was applied again. Case 2, a 4-year-old boy, with a history of pallor and tetter, was diagnosed with ALL. He developed cough and fever during induction therapy. mNGS of blood suggested infection with Rhizomucor pusillus. Amphotericin B combined with voriconazole was applied, but the situation was not significantly improved. The disseminated infection occurred. Amphotericin B combined with posaconazole was applied and vacuum sealing drainage was performed. Case 3, a 2-year-old girl, was diagnosed with ALL, developed fever and cough during induction therapy. Rhizomucor pusillus was indicated by mNGS. Amphotericin B combined with posaconazole was used, and posaconazole was stopped after improvement. Follow-up until June 2021, the condition of the 3 children improved. There was no recurrent Mucor infection, and the primary hematopathy was in complete remission. According to the literature, 7 reports were found in Chinese journals, while 17 reports were found in English literature, 25 cases have been reported. Among a total of 28 children, 11 cases rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis, four pulmonary mucormycosis, 2 cutaneous mucormycosis, 2 gastrointestinal mucormycosis and 9 disseminated mucormycosis. There were 17 cases developed infection during induction chemotherapy, 8 cases during maintenance therapy, 3 cases after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Voriconazole was used in 15 cases; 19 cases were treated with combined surgery, 7 cases were treated with drugs only, 2 cases were untreated; 21 cases showed improvement after treatment. Death occurred in seven cases. Conclusions: ALL complicated with mucormycosis often occurs in the stage of induction therapy. The clinical features lacked specificity, mNGS can help find the pathogen and provide evidence for diagnosis. Surgical treatment also could be combined when necessary, which is helpful to improve the prognosis.

RESUMO

Objective: To explore the influence of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlling nutritional status (CONUT) on the prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma. Methods: Data of 157 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) at the affiliated hospital of Xuzhou medical university from January 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively evaluated. The operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was adopted as the optimal cut-off point. PNI and CONUT were grouped based on the cut-off points of 44.45 and 3.5, respectively, and the differences between age, gender, serum calcium, ß(2)-microglobulin, serum creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, and hemoglobin were analyzed. The prognostic factors were analyzed via univariate and Cox multivariate regression analyses. Results: The level of PNI and CONUT is the influencing factor of OS time. The univariate analysis revealed that age, LDH, plasma cell ratio, ß(2)-microglobulin, ISS stage, PNI, and CONUT were the risk factors for the prognosis of patients with MM. The multivariate analysis revealed that age (HR=1.636, 95%CI 1.014-2.640) , plasma cell ratio (HR=1.953, 95%CI 1.232-3.096) , and PNI (HR=0.513, 95%CI 0.287-0.917) were the independent prognostic risk factors of patients with MM. Conclusion: Low PNI in patients with MM indicates a poor prognosis, which is an independent prognosis risk factor.

RESUMO

Objective: To analyze clinical features, prognosis and risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) associated pulmonary hypertension (PH). Methods: Clinical data of 338 infants with BPD were collected from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital, Southern Medical University between January 2016 and December 2018. These infants were divided into PH group and non-PH group. The clinical features and prognosis were compared between these two groups by Chi-square test or nonparametric test. Risk factors for BPD-PH were analyzed with binary logistic regression model. Results: Among the 338 BPD infants, 314 had no PH (92.9%) and 24 had PH (7.1%), with an average gestational age of (27.1±1.8) weeks, and 206 were males and 132 females.PH infants had younger gestational age ((26.4±2.1) vs. (27.2±1.7) weeks, t=2.201, P=0.028) and lower birth weight ((798±255) vs. (1 003±240) g, t=4.030, P<0.01), compared to non-PH infants. Besides, duration of mechanical ventilation and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation were higher in PH group than that in non-PH group (14.3 (2.1, 43.7) vs. 0.5 (0, 4.7) d, Z=-4.553, P<0.01; 30.0 (22.5, 64.2) vs. 15.0 (7.0, 26.0) d, Z=-4.838, P<0.01). The proportions of maternal hypertension, small for gestational age (SGA), late onset sepsis, ventilator associated pneumonia, hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) requiring ligation, severe BPD and severe extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) were higher in PH group than those in non-PH group ((20.8% (5/24) vs. 6.4% (20/314), 33.3% (8/24) vs. 7.6% (24/314), 54.2% (13/24) vs. 7.3% (23/314), 25.0% (6/24) vs. 6.1% (19/314), 75.0% (18/24) vs. 39.2% (123/314), 45.8% (11/24) vs. 1.9% (6/314), 66.7% (16/24) vs. 7.3% (23/314), 75.0% (18/24) vs. 45.5% (143/314), all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that maternal hypertension (OR=12.950, 95%CI: 1.740-96.385), severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (OR=10.160, 95%CI: 2.725-37.884), SGA (OR=4.992, 95%CI: 1.432-16.920), PDA requiring ligation (OR=19.802, 95%CI: 3.297-118.921), severe EUGR (OR=20.316, 95%CI: 2.221-185.853) were independent risk factors of BPD associated PH. In the 24 infants with PH, all 7 mild PH infants and 8 moderate PH infants survived, while 4 out of 9 severe PH infants died. Among the survivors, the longest duration of oxygen therapy was up to the corrected gestational age of 1 year and 2 months. Conclusions: PH is a severe complication of BPD, and associated with higher mortality and poor prognosis. Echocardiography screening and regular post-discharge follow up are recommended for BPD infants with risk factors of PH.

RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of placement of S(2) alar iliac screw (S(2)AI) using free-hand technique for sacrapelvic fusion in lumbar degenerative scoliosis. Methods: Eighteen patients with Lumbar Degenerative Scoliosis treated by S(2)AI screw fixation at Department of Orthopedics, General Hospital of Southern Theater Command of People's Liberation Army and Department of Orthopedics, 89th hospital of People's Liberation Army from August 2014 to October 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 5 males and 13 females, aged 63.2 years old (range:55 to 71 years old).Parameters of spine including: Cobb Angle, C(7) plumb line -center sacral vertical line (C(7)PL-CSVL), lumbar lordosis(LL), sagittal vertical axis(SVA), pelvic incidence(PI), pelvic tilt(PT), sacral slope (SS) and pI-LL were measured on the whole spine X-ray before operation and at final follow-up. Pelvic CT scan was performed postoperatively to assess the accuracy of S(2)AI placement. Oswestry disability Index (ODI) was also recorded. The data were compared by paired t test or Wilcoxon tests. Results: All patients were followed up for 23.7 months (range: 12~62 months).At the last follow up, Cobb Angle decreased from (32.28±4.97) °preoperative to (6.56±3.20) ° (t=41.142, P<0.01) and C(7)PL-CSVL deceased from (1.11±2.07) cm preoperative to (0.18±1.08) cm (t=41.142, P=0.06) .LL improved from (-22.39±13.07) °preoperative to (-36.39±4.29) ° (t=4.470, P<0.01) , PI-LL decreased from (26.83±14.83)°preoperative to (13.72±8.3)° (t=4.396, P<0.01) , PT decreased from (27.94±4.26) °to (23.39±6.08) ° (t=2.680, P=0.02) , and SS increased from (22.22±6.36) °to (26.28±7.24) ° (t=-2.178, P=0.04) .SVA decreased from (6.54±4.51) cm preoperative to (2.62±1.29) cm (t=3.052, P=0.01) .ODI decreased from 0.58(0.40) (M(Q(R))) to 0.18 (0.15) (Z=-4.567, P<0.01) .No complications such as nerve and blood vessel injury occurred during the operation. A total of 32 S(2)AI screws were placed, 3 screws were placed with mild to moderate cortical breaches, 2 were perforated the pelvis ventrally, 1 was perforated posteriorly, with no clinically notable neurovascular or visceral complications. Eight patients finished the SRS-22 questionnaire, with mean score of 4.4 in terms of satisfaction with management. Conclusions: Free-hand technique of S(2)AI screw placement for sacrapelvic fusion in degenerative lumbar scoliosis is safe and feasible.S(2)AI fixation in DLS can provide great correction of deformity, maintain the stability of lumbo-pelvic area and improve the clinical symptoms.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Early diagnosis of adult-onset immunodeficiency associated with neutralizing anti-interferon-gamma autoantibodies (anti-IFNγ Abs) remains difficult given the lack of a distinctive phenotype and a routine test. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of incorrect tentative diagnoses and useful clues for early disease recognition. METHODS: This study enrolled adult patients who had unexplained opportunistic infections diagnosed at six hospitals and identified those having neutralizing anti-IFNγ Abs (cases). Demographics, medical history, initial presentations and laboratory data, causative pathogens, tentative diagnoses, and treatment were analysed and compared among individuals having neutralizing anti-IFNγ Abs (cases) and those without (controls). RESULTS: Among the 154 patients enrolled, neutralizing anti-IFN-γ Abs were detected in 50 (71%) of 70 patients with disseminated non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection (dNTM) but not in 84 patients without dNTM. The median time from disease onset to the recognition of dNTM associated with neutralizing anti-IFNγ Abs was 1.6 years (range, 0.25-19 years). Incorrect tentative diagnoses resulted in the administration of anti-tuberculosis regimens (60%, 30/50), immunosuppressants (48%, 24/50), and systemic chemotherapy (2%, 10/50) to the 50 cases. Multivariate analysis revealed that case patients were more likely than controls to present with multiple bone lesions (adjusted odds ratio (OR), 27.16; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.21-609.59) and leukocytosis (adjusted OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.12-1.95); however, the controls had a higher rate of mycobacterial bloodstream infection (adjusted OR, 0.05; 95% CI 0.00-0.66). CONCLUSIONS: The high rate of incorrect tentative diagnoses led to frequent inappropriate management in patients with neutralizing anti-IFNγ Abs, and highlighted the need for increased awareness among clinicians.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: MiR-551b has been reported to display tumor-suppressive and oncogenic potential in several cancers, but there has been no study on the roles of miR-551b in colorectal cancer (CRC). In this work, we aimed to explore the potential functions and mechanisms of miR-551b in the modulation of the CRC progression. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The expressions of miR-551b were examined in 122 pairs of CRC cancer tissues and adjacent non-tumor samples by Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). The clinical significance of miR-551b in CRC patients was explored using a Chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier assays, and multivariate analysis. MiR-551b mimics and inhibitors were used to establish miR-551b upregulation and downregulation models in CRC cells to examine the functions of miR-551b on cells proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were conducted for the validation of the possible modulation of a putative target of miR-551b. RESULTS: We showed that miR-551b was significantly down-regulated in CRC tissues and cell lines. It was observed that miR-551b expressions were correlated with lymph nodes metastasis, TNM stage, and poor prognosis. Multivariate analysis identifies low level of miR-551b expressions as an independent predictor for a shorter overall survival. The functional assessment suggested that forced miR-551b expression distinctly suppressed CRC cells growth, invasion, and migration, while the suppression of miR-551b displayed the opposite trend. Mechanistic studies confirmed that PTP4A3 was identified as a direct target of miR-551b in CRC. Interesting observations revealed that the cells capacities were higher in miR-551b +PTP4A3 group, when compared with those in miR-551b group, indicating that up-regulation of PTP4A3 rescued the repressive functions of miR-551b overexpression on CRC cells growth and migration. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of our study first showed that miR-551b, a potential tumor suppressor, may be used as a promising prognostic predictor and therapeutic target for CRC.

RESUMO

Objective:The aim of this study is to compare the night sleep hypoxia degree and sleep structure of young and middle-aged and elderly patients with OSA, so that PSG has more important application value.Method:A total of 438 patients diagnosed with OSA from February 2017 to January 2019 were selected,including 119 patients in the youth group with an average age of (28.5±5.1)years,and 319 patients in the middle and elderly group with an average age of (45.8±2.7)years.The results recorded by PSG in the two groups were retrospectively analyzed. Result:①The AHI, ODI, OAI, MAI and ASaO2of OSA patients in the junior group were significantly higher than those in the middle-aged and elderly group, while CAI was not statistically significant between the two groups (P=0.419).②The NREM stage Ⅰ (61.1±4.3)% in the junior group was significantly higher than that in the junior group (53.3±3.4)%.NREM stage Ⅱ (33.2±2.3)% and NREM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ (4.3±1.3)% in the junior group were higher than those in the middle-aged group (29.2±3.9)% and stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ (2.6±0.9)%, while the percentage of REM stage and microarousal index were not statistically significant between the two groups.③Young OSA patients were associated with hypertension and 47.0% middle-aged and elderly patients were associated with hypertension.There was no statistical difference between the two groups in whether hypertension was associated with hypertension or not.Conclusion:The NREM phase is particularly susceptible to age, and age affects slow wave sleep. The sleep structure of middle-aged and older people demonstrates their sleep characteristics: reduced total sleep time,slow wave sleep,low sleep efficiency,and delayed sleep. The young people's nighttime hypoxia is more serious. AHI,ODI,OAI,MAI,ASaO2 and other indicators are significantly higher than the middle-aged and elderly people, but the sleep structure 2 groups are similar, indicating that young people have strong sleep physiological compensation and Adjustment ability.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether microRNA-221 could promote cardiomyocyte apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of PTEN (gene of phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromosome ten), thereby participating in the development of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression levels of microRNA-221 and PTEN in human cardiomyocytes (HCM) cells treated with hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). The expressions of myocardial injury markers, including lactic dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) were determined by qRT-PCR as well. The binding relationship between microRNA-221 and PTEN was verified by the Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay. Subsequently, microRNA-221 inhibitor and si-PTEN were transfected into cells. The proliferation and apoptosis of cells were analyzed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry, respectively. In addition, the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The qRT-PCR results confirmed that the expression level of microRNA-221 in H/R treated cells was significantly up-regulated when compared with the normoxic treated group, whereas PTEN expression was markedly down-regulated. After silencing microRNA-221, the expression levels of myocardial injury markers, including LDH, MDA, GSH-PX in H/R cells were significantly decreased. However, SOD levels were remarkably increased. At the same time, down-regulation of microRNA-221 markedly increased cell proliferation, whereas decreased apoptosis. However, microRNA-221 enhanced the expression of apoptosis-related genes, including Bax and cytochrome C. Meanwhile, the expression level of anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 was significantly inhibited. The Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay showed that microRNA-221 could target bind to PTEN and inhibit its expression. Similarly, down-regulation of PTEN markedly decreased cell proliferation and increased cell apoptosis. Furthermore, PTEN down-regulation remarkably promoted protein expression of pro-apoptosis-related genes, whereas inhibited the protein expression of anti-apoptotic genes. CONCLUSIONS: MicroRNA-221 promoted myocardial apoptosis induced by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion by down-regulating PTEN. Therefore, microRNA-221 might be a potential therapeutic target for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-154 on myocardial apoptosis in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and to analyze whether Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway was involved in the regulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat model of AMI was established via ligation of left anterior descending artery. Rats were randomly divided into model group (M group, n=12) and ICG-001 intervention group (I group, n=12). At the same time, sham operation group (S group, n=12) was established. In I group, ICG-001 (5 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected every day after operation. Meanwhile, an equal amount of normal saline was injected in rats of S group and M group. 21 d after operation, the cardiac function of rats in each group was detected via echocardiography. After that, the rats were immediately executed. MI area in each group was detected via 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Myocardial apoptosis level in each group was detected via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Moreover, the changes of apoptotic proteins in rat myocardial cells were detected via Western blotting. Moreover, the expression level of miR-154 in myocardial cells of rats was detected via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Furthermore, the influence of miR-154 on Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway was detected via Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with S group, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, %) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS, %) were significantly decreased in M group (p<0.01). However, left ventricular internal diameter at end-diastole (LVIDd) and left ventricular internal diameter at end-systole (LVIDs) were significantly increased (p<0.01). In I group, LVEF (%) and LVFS (%) were significantly higher than those of M group (p<0.05), whereas LVIDs and LVIDd were significantly lower (p<0.05). MI area in M group was remarkably larger than that of S group (p<0.01). Meanwhile, MI area in I group was significantly smaller than that of M group (p<0.01). Compared with S group, the number of apoptotic myocardial cells and the protein expression level of cleaved caspase-3 were significantly increased in M group (p<0.01). However, the expression level of B-cell lymphoma-2/Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bcl-2/Bax) was significantly decreased (p<0.01). The number of apoptotic myocardial cells and the protein expression level of cleaved caspase-3 were significantly declined in I group when compared with those of M group (p<0.01). However, the expression level of Bcl-2/Bax was significantly increased in I group (p<0.01). The expression level of miR-154 in myocardial cells of M group and I group was remarkably increased when compared with that of S group (p<0.01). Furthermore, the expression levels of ß-catenin and Cyclin D1 in myocardial cells of M group were remarkably higher than those of S group and I group (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: AMI significantly increases the expression level of miR-154. Moreover, miR-154 can activate Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway, eventually promoting myocardial apoptosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the methylation status in promoter region of estrogen receptor alpha (ERа)-A gene and its relation with plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level and cognitive impairment in white matter hyperintensity (WMH) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 210 patients aged 65 and older were selected. The methylation status of CpG islands in ERа-A gene promoter was analyzed by nested methylation-specific PCR. Serum Hcy and estradiol levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cognitive function were evaluated using minimum mental state examination, the montreal cognitive assessment, Stroop color-word test, symbol digit modalities, trail making test B and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). The severity of WMH was evaluated with the Fazekas scale by brain magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: We found a significant association between the severity of WMH and CpG island methylation of ERа-A gene (P < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that serum Hcy level, methylation of ERа-A gene and WMH severity were significant determining factors for cognitive impairment (P < 0.05). The spearman rank correlation analysis showed a significant correlation of methylation of ERа-A gene with serum Hcy level, WMH severity, cognitive function and IADL status (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Methylation of ERа-A gene promoter has a high frequency in WMH patients with cognitive impairment and is correlated with high plasma Hcy level.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There has been no previous study that used ultrasonography for longitudinal changes of thyroglossal duct cysts, to our knowledge. We assessed the prevalence and interval changes in incidentally detected thyroglossal duct cysts in adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 2010 to December 2016, we identified 796 ultrasonography radiologic reports from 513 subjects that contained the words "thyroglossal" or "TGDC" among 54,369 participants. Of 513 subjects, 172 (M/F = 103:69, mean age, 53 ± 11 years) who underwent ≥2 sonography studies were enrolled. Two reviewers determined ultrasonography features, including maximal diameter, location, internal echogenicity, wall thickness, and the presence of posterior enhancement, internal septa, and solid components. RESULTS: The mean follow-up time of total 172 lesions was 2.01 ± 1.13 years. Thyroglossal duct cysts ranged from 2 to 32 mm (mean, 8.77 ± 3.83 mm) on the initial ultrasonography examination. On follow-up ultrasonography studies, 14 lesions (8.2%) increased by >2 mm, while most thyroglossal duct cysts (133 lesions, 77.3%) remained stable in size. During the follow-up period, 31 lesions (18.0%) showed interval changes in ultrasonography features. There was no significant relationship between the presence of ultrasonography feature changes and size changes (P = .12). CONCLUSIONS: On ultrasonography, 0.9% of adults had incidental thyroglossal duct cysts. Most did not increase in size with time despite changes in various ultrasonography features. Therefore, we recommend performing an observation at long intervals of 2-3 years for asymptomatic thyroglossal duct cysts, and we suggest that fine-needle aspiration can be suspended unless suspicious findings of malignancy are detected.

RESUMO

Objective: Perioperative myocardial infarction remains a severe complication in non-cardiac surgery and is one of the major causes of death. Cardiac troponin (cTn) I elevation is associated with short-term and long-term mortality. The aim of the study was to assess the proportion rate of cTnI elevation and its clinical characteristics among patients admitted for orthopaedic surgery with or without cardiovascular events. Methods: This is a retrospective study including 27 744 patients aged 50 years or older who admitted for orthopaedic surgery from 2009-2015 in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. Results: Two hundred and sixty-five patients [age (71.7±9.9) years] had cTnI level> 0.04 µg/L with 66% (175 patients) of them being female. Among them, 59 patients were isolated troponin rise (ITR) (n=59), 13 were preoperative acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and 193 were postoperative AMI. The proportion of postoperative AMI was 0.69%. Those patients were more likely to have a history of coronary artery disease or hypertension. Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was more common (93.3%) than ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in these patients. Most of them did not experience ischemic symptoms. Totally 76.7% of the AMI occurred within 3 days of surgery; and the in-hospital mortality rate was 10.4%. Conclusions: Perioperative elevation of troponin is common in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Most postoperative AMI were NSTEMI and with absent or atypical ischemia symptoms. Monitoring troponin levels and electrocardiograph in at-risk patients is needed to find most of the AMI.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of allergic rhinitis in Yangzhou area and its correlation with meteorological factors. Method:The characteristics of 17 491 cases of AR were analyzed in Yangzhou from 2015 to 2017. Meteorological environmental parameters, including mean temperature, air pressure, wind speed, humidity and AQI index, were monitored at the same period. The relationship between the onset characteristics of AR patients and meteorological factors was also analyzed. Result:The number of patients with allergic rhinitis in 2015, 2016 and 2017 were 6 167, 5 620 and 5 704. The total difference of the number of patients in 3 years was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Each year the number of patients reached the peak in October, April, the lowest in February, and less than the other seasons in the summer (P<0.05). The number of visits per year reached peak in October, the lowest in February, and significantly less in summer than in other seasons (P<0.05). The number of children under the age of 12 is relatively small, and the number of patients aged 20 to 40 is the largest. In different age groups, the number of male patients was higher than that of women. There was a positive correlation between the average temperature and AQI index of the average allergic rhinitis patients(r=0.635, P=0.027; r=0.587, P=0.045), and the average temperature and average humidity of the patients with average allergic rhinitis were negatively correlated with regional average humidity and average wind speed(r=-0.193, P=0.045; r=-0.862, P=0.000). Conclusion:The incidence of allergic rhinitis in Yangzhou area has obvious age regularity and seasonality, and there may be some correlation between meteorological factors(especially AQI index) and the incidence of allergic rhinitis in patients.
