Background Long-term exposure to free silica particles will lead to fibrosis of lung tissue, and abnormal expression of microRNA (miRNA) may affect the occurrence and process of fibrosis. Objective To observed possible intervention effect of miR-204-3p overexpression adenovirus on silicosis fibrosis induced by silica dust using a silicosis rat model via non-exposed intratracheal instillation. Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, silicosis model group, miRNA-NC group, and miR-204-3p intervention group. Under ether anesthesia, rats in the silicosis model group, miRNA-NC group, and miR-204-3p intervention group were injected with 1 mL (50 mg·mL−1) of free silica dust suspension into the trachea, while the control group was injected with the same volume of normal saline. After 30 d of dust exposure, the miR-204-3p intervention group was injected with rno-mir-204 adenovirus vector to overexpress miR-204-3p, and the miRNA-NC group was given empty virus vector. After 30 d of normal feeding, the animals were sacrificed by chloral hydrate anesthesia, and the lung tissue was taken for subsequent experiments. The relative expression level of miR-204-3p in lung tissue of rats in each group was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). HE staining, Masson staining, and Sirius red staining were used for pathological observation. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Fibronectin and Collagen I in lung tissue of rats in each group. RT-qPCR was used to detect the relative gene expression levels of fibrosis markers Fibronectin, Vimentin, Collagen I, and Collagen III in lung tissue of rats in each group. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of fibrosis markers Fibronectin, Vimentin, Collagen I, and Collagen III in lung tissue of rats in each group. Results The anatomical features of lung tissue in the control group were pink lung tissue with soft texture and smooth surface, while those in the silicosis model were grayish white tissue with hard texture and scars and grayish white silicon nodules on the surface. Compared with the silicosis model group, the color of lung tissue in the miR-204-3p intervention group became ruddy, the surface was smooth, and the texture became soft. The staining results showed that the alveolar wall of the control group was thin, there were a small number of capillaries in the alveoli, and the alveolar structure was clear and complete. In the silicosis model group, the alveolar wall became thicker, the pulmonary septum was partially broken, the alveolar structure was defective, and a large amount of collagen fibers were deposited. The alveolar structure of the miR-204-3p intervention group was relatively clear and there was a small amount of collagen fiber deposition. RT-qPCR results showed that compared with the control group, the relative expression levels of miR-204-3p in lung tissue of the silicosis model group and the miRNA-NC group were decreased (P<0.05), and the relative expression level of miR-204-3p in lung tissue of the miR-204-3p intervention group was increased (P＜0.05). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that compared with the control group, the expression levels of Fibronectin and Collagen I in lung tissue of the silicosis model group were increased (P＜0.05). Compared with the silicosis model group, the relative expression levels of Fibronectin and Collagen I in lung tissue of the rats in the miR-204-3p intervention group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The results of RT-qPCR and Western blot showed that compared with the control group, the relative protein and gene expression levels of fibrosis factors Fibronectin, Vimentin, Collagen I, and Collagen III in lung tissue of the silicosis model group increased (P＜0.05). Compared with the silicosis model group, the relative gene and protein expression levels of fibrosis factors Fibronectin, Vimentin, Collagen I, and Collagen III in lung tissue of rats in the miR-204-3p intervention group were decreased (P＜0.05). Conclusion Silica dust can cause lung fibrosis in rats, and overexpression of miR-204-3P in vivo can reduce silicosis fibrosis in rats caused by silica dust.

There seems to be a contradiction among the symptoms of"non-thirst"and"thirst after oral use of the decoction"stated in original text 41 of Shang Han Lun(Treatise on Febrile Diseases)and the symptom of"probable thirst"stated in original text 40.In this article,the symptoms of thirst or non-thirst in the syndrome of Xiao Qinglong Decoction were expounded through the analysis of the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine about body fluid metabolism and the pathogenic mechanism of thirst,and by synthesizing the relevant articles recorded in Jin Gui Yao Lve(Synopsis of the Golden Chamber)and the understanding of the syndrome of Xiao Qinglong Decoction by later generations of practitioners.After that,the following views are put forward:non-thirst symptom is the primary sympton of the syndrome of Xiao Qinglong Decoction,which results from the disease;thirst after oral use of the decoction is due to drug-induced thirst,which can be classified into the category of physiological thirst;probable thirst symptom is related with fluid consumption by febrile disease,indicating that the disease involves yangming.The analysis of the symptoms of thirst or non-thirst in the syndrome of Xiao Qinglong Decoction is helpful for evaluation of therapeutic efficacy,and can also be used as the indications of modified medications and differential diagnosis of the disease.The exploration will provide references for the clinical use of Xiao Qinglong Decoction and will be beneficial to improving the clinical efficacy of Xiao Qinglong Decoction.

ABSTRACT Objective: Quality of Life (QoL) has been a multifactorial concerning issue in oncology. We aimed to inspect the pre-operative QoL among patients with craniopharyngioma and to explore the potential correlations between parameters of QoL and clinical indices. Subjects and methods: We enrolled a total of 109 patients with craniopharyngioma. We utilized Short Form 36 (SF-36), Symptom Check List-90, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire scale (GAD7), Patient Health Questionnaire Depression (PHQ9) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to prospectively evaluated their QoL. Parameters of QoL along with clinical indices were compared among sub-groups divided according to Puget classification. Correlation analyses and regression analyses were performed to detect influential determinants to self-reported wellness. Results: Patients presented impaired QoL compared with general population ( p < 0.001), as assessed by SF-36. Correlation analyses indicated the detrimental influence resulting from central diabetes insipidus (CDI). Multivariate linear regression unveiled the adverse effect of CDI on Mental Component Summary (coefficient = −13.869, p = 0.007), GAD7 total score (coefficient = 2.072, p = 0.049) as well as PHQ9 total score (coefficient = 3.721, p = 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression verified CDI as a risk factor of developing depressive symptoms (OR = 6.160, p = 0.001). Conclusion: QoL of patients with craniopharyngioma was remarkably compromised before operation. CDI exerted detrimental influences on patients' QoL and it might serve as a marker for early identification of patients at risk of depression.

The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is related to a variety of factors such as mechanical overload, metabolic dysfunction, aging, etc., and is a group of total joint diseases characterized by intra-articular chondrocyte apoptosis, cartilage fibrillations, synovial inflammation, and osteophyte formation. At present, the treatment methods for osteoarthritis include glucosamine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate, etc., which are difficult to take effect in a short period of time and require long-term treatment, so the patients struggle to adhere to doctor’s advice. Some methods can only provide temporary relief without chondrocyte protection, and some even increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal disease. In the advanced stages of OA, patients often have to undergo joint replacement surgery due to pain and joint dysfunction. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the development of OA. It is possible to improve mitochondrial biogenesis, quality control, autophagy balance, and oxidative stress levels, thereby exerting a protective effect on chondrocytes in OA. Therefore, compared to traditional treatments, improving mitochondrial function may be a potential treatment for OA. Here, we collected relevant literature on mitochondrial research in OA in recent years, summarized the potential pathogenic factors that affect the development of OA through mitochondrial pathways, and elaborated on relevant treatment methods, in order to provide new diagnostic and therapeutic ideas for the research field of osteoarthritis.

Aim To investigate the regulatory effect of Cortaetin on pathological myocardial hypertrophy induced by isoprenaline (ISO) and the underlying mechanism. Methods ISO was used to stimulate neonatal rat cardiomyocytes for 24 h, and myocardial hypertrophy model was established at the cellular level. C57BL/6 mice were injected subcutaneously with ISO for one week to establish myocardial hypertrophy model at animal level. RT-qPCR was used to detect the changes of mRNA and Western blot was used to detect the changes of relative protein content. Immunofluorescence was used to measure the subcellular location of Cortaetin and the change of its expression. The overex-pression of Cortaetin by adenovirus infection and the knockdown of Cortaetin by transfection of small interfering RNA were studied. Results On the cellular and animal levels, ISO-induced myocardial hypertrophy models were successfully established, and it was observed that ISO caused the decrease of Cortaetin and N-cadherin protein levels. Overexpression of Cortaetin could reverse the decrease of N-cadherin protein level and myocardial hypertrophy caused by ISO. Knockdown of Cortaetin showed the opposite effect. Conclusion Cortaetin, in combination with N-cadherin, may play a role in combating myocardial hypertrophy by enhancing the connections between cardiomyocytes.

AIM: Yi Qi Yang Yin Decoction (YQYY) has been used to treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and achieved good results in clinical applications, but the mechanism still needs to be explored. The purpose was to investigate the mechanism of YQYY in rats with collagen-induced arthritis. METHODS: The possible treatment target and signaling pathway were predicted by bioinformatics and network pharmacology analysis. Elisa,quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western Blot were used to verify the mechanism of YQYY in treating RA. RESULTS: FABP4, MMP9 and PTGS2 were the most common predicational therapeutic targets. The results of pathology and CT showed that YQYY could improve ankle swelling, synovitis and bone erosion in CIA rats. Compared with the model group, YQYY or YQYY+MTX can significantly reduce the secretion of CRP, TNF-α, IL-1β and FABP4 in serum of CIA rats (P<0.05 or P<0.01), meanwhile, reduce the mRNA of FABP4, IKKα and p65 in synovial tissue (P<0.01), PPARγ was increased (P<0.01). YQYY could significantly reduce the expression of FABP4, IKKα and pp65 proteins in synovium, and suppress the activate of NF - κB signaling pathway. CONCLUSION: FABP4, MMP9 and PTGS2 may be the targets of YQYY decoction for RA treatment. YQYY can relieve joint symptoms in CIA rats, and regulate inflammation by inhibiting FABP4 / PPARγ/NF - κB signaling pathway, playing a role in the treatment of RA. The effect of YQYY combined with MTX was more prominent. This provided experimental evidence for the efficacy of YQYY decoction in clinical practice.

Purpose@#The 21-gene recurrence score (RS) can guide adjuvant chemotherapy decisions in the multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) of patients with early breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the 21-gene RS assay on patient’ compliance with MDT and its association with disease outcomes. @*Methods@#Patients diagnosed with pN0-1, hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative breast cancer between January 2013 and June 2019 were enrolled. A logistic regression model was used to identify parameters associated with treatment adherence. Prognostic indicators were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazard models. @*Results@#After the assay, patients were less likely to violate the treatment plan (14.9% vs. 23.1%, p < 0.001), and higher compliance rates were observed for chemotherapy (p = 0.042), radiotherapy (p = 0.012), and endocrine therapy (p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that the 21-gene RS assay (odds ratio [OR], 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09–1.88; p = 0.009) was independently associated with MDT compliance. Moreover, compliance with MDT was independently associated with better disease-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.29–0.64; p < 0.001), regardless of the 21-gene RS assay (interaction p = 0.842). @*Conclusion@#The 21-gene RS assay improved the MDT compliance rate in patients with early breast cancer. Adherence to MDT is associated with a better prognosis.

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of delayed bleeding after intestinal polypectomy in children, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical surgical intervention of intestinal polyps.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 2 456 children with intestinal polyps who underwent endoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation loop resection in the Endoscopy Center of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to December 2021. According to the presence or absence of delayed bleeding after surgery, they were divided into bleeding group with 79 children and non-bleeding group with 2 377 children. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors for delayed bleeding. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to investigate the value of various indicators in predicting delayed bleeding.@*RESULTS@#Of all 2 456 children, 79 (3.22%) experienced delayed bleeding, among whom 5 children with severe delayed bleeding underwent emergency colonoscopy for hemostasis and 74 received conservative treatment, and successful hemostasis was achieved for all children. There were significant differences between the bleeding and non-bleeding groups in age, body mass index, constipation rate, location of lesion, time of endoscopic procedure, resection method (P<0.05). Children with a diameter of polyps of 6-10 mm and >20 mm were more likely to develop delayed bleeding after resection (P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that endoscopic operation time, polyp diameter, and resection method were significantly associated with delayed bleeding (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the endoscopic operation time, polyp diameter, and resection method had a good value in predicting delayed bleeding after intestinal polypectomy, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.706, 0.688, and 0.627, respectively.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Endoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation loop resection has a lower incidence of delayed bleeding in children with intestinal polyps, and the endoscopic operation time, polyp diameter, and resection method are closely associated with the occurrence of postoperative delayed bleeding.

Objective To investigate the safety and short-term efficacy of π-shaped anastomosis and circular anastomosis(reverse puncture device)in reconstruction of esophagojejunostomy after laparoscopic total gastrectomy.Methods A retrospective study was used to collect the clinical and pathological data of 75 cases of gastric cancer from January 2019 to March 2021.According to the different reconstruction methods of esophagojejunal anastomosis,the patients were divided into a linear cutting obturator group(π-shaped anastomosis group,n = 27)and a circular anastomat anastomosis group(reverse puncture device group,n = 48).The general information of the two groups,operation time,esophagojejunostomy time,intraoperative bleeding volume,number of intraoperative lymph node dissection,intraoperative complications,and postoperative complications were compared and analyzed.Results The operation time and esophagojejunostomy time in the π-shaped anastomosis group were(221.5±8.8)and(34.7±3.7)min,and the reverse puncture device group were and(246.9±5.6)and(47.2±4.6)min,respectively,the differences were statistically significant(t = 15.19,t = 11.81,P＜0.05).There were no statistical significance in the comparison of intraoperative bleeding volume and number of intraoperative lymph node dissection between the two groups(P＞0.05).In the reverse puncture device group,there were two intraoperative complications,including one case of esophageal jejunal anastomosis atresia and one case of anastomosis tear,postoperative complications occurred in 3 cases,postoperative anastomotic stenosis occurred in 2 case,and anastomotic bleeding occurred in 1 case.Conclusion Laparoscopic total esophagojejunostomy with π-shaped anastomosis and reverse puncture device are safe and feasible.In terms of esophagojejunostomy time,π-shaped anastomosis reconstruction time is shorter.When the small intestine diameter is relatively small and it is difficult to extend into the 25 mm stapler,the advantage of π-shaped anastomosis is more obvious.When the tumor is Siewert type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of gastroesophageal junction,which infiltrates into above the dentate line,reverse puncture device method is recommended for reconstruction.

Objective To investigate the effect of C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 13 protein(CTRP13)on the autophagy function of primary rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells(rLSECs)induced by high glucose through AMP-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin complex(AMPK/mTOR)pathway.Methods After isolation,identification and culture,original rat liver sinusoid endothelial cells(rrLSECs)were divided into normal control(NC)group,high glucose(HG)group,HG +LV-CTRP13 group,HG+ lentiviral empty vector(LV-Con)group(HG+LV-Con).CTRP13 lentivirus over expression vector(LV-CTRP13)and lentivirus empty vector(LV-Con)were constructed and transfected into rrLSECs.According to the intervention methods of AMPK inhibitor Compound C,mTOR inhibitor Torin1 and autophagy inhibitor 3MA,the transfected cell were divided into normal control(NC)group,high glucose(HG)group,HG+LV-CTRP13 group,HG+lentiviral empty vector(LV-Con)group(HG+ LV-Con).qRT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of CTRP13,autophagy related protein Beclin1,human microtubule-associated protein light chain 3II(LC3II),human plasma membrane membrane vesicle association proteins(PLVAP)and p-AMPK and p-MTOR in rat rLSECs of each group.Results Compared with NC group,the number of autophagosome was decreased in HG and HG+LV-CTRP13 group(P＜0.05).Compared with HG group,the number of autophagosome bodies was increased in HG +LV-CTRP13 group(P＜0.05).The CTRP13 mRNA and protein expression was higher in NC and HG + LV-CTRP13 groups than in HG and HG + LV-Con groups(P＜0.05).In HG+LC-CTRP13 group,Beclin1,LC3II,p-AMPK,and AMPK mRNA,Beclin1,LC3II/LC3I protein expression were higher than HG and HG + LV-Con group(P＜0.05),PLVAP,p-mTOR,mTOR mRNA,and PLVAP protein expression were lower than HG and HG+LV-Con group(P＜0.05).Comparison with HG + LV-CTRP13,p-mTOR protein expression in HG+LV-CTRP13+Compound C group increased(P＜0.05),while expressions of CTRP13,Beclin1 and LC3II/LC3I protein decreased(P＜0.05);the protein expressions of p-AMPK,Beclin1 and LC3II/LC3I were increased in HG+LV+ CTRP13+Torin1 group(P＜0.05),while CTRP13 and p-mTOR protein expression was decreased(P＜0.05);protein expressions of p-AMPK,p-mTOR and LC3II/LC3I were higher in HG+LV-CTRP13 + 3MA group(P＜0.05),while LC3II/LC3I protein expression was lower(P＜0.05).Conclusion CTRP13 overexpression activates AMPK/mTOR-autophagy signaling pathway,which may play a protective role in the function of rLSECs anddelay liver sinusoid capillarization.
