Corneal stromal is an important structure to maintain corneal transparency. The corneal stroma can be injured by trauma, infection and surgery. Therefore, corneal stromal wound starts repair with phenotype changes in stromal cell, extracellular matrix remodeling and immune cells migration. The corneal scar was the leading cause of blindness worldwide, which can be caused by corneal stromal fibrosis from increased myofibroblasts and deposited extracellular matrix after sever damage. At present, corneal transplantation is the main treatment for corneal scar, which has limited therapeutic effect because of corneal donor shortage, surgical requirements and the risk of postoperative immune rejection. Recently, great progress has been made in the study of control mechanism of corneal stromal wound healing with various molecules, cells and tissues. This paper reviews the repair mechanism of corneal stromal injury and the regulation mechanism of cause of corneal injury, corneal structure and molecule factors towards corneal stromal injury. It aims at providing new ideas for exploring the mechanism of corneal stromal repair and regeneration, which is supposed to help prevent corneal scar clinically.

AIM: To explore the clinical application value of analysis system for ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM)images of anterior chamber angle(ACA)based on deep learning algorithm.METHODS: A total of 4 196 UBM images were obtained from 675 patients(1 130 eyes)at the Eye Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2021 to June 2022 were collected to build an image dataset. Using Unet++network to automatically segment ACA tissue, a support vector machine(SVM)algorithm was developed to automatically classify opening and closing of chamber angle, and an algorithm to automatically locate the sclera spur and measure ACA parameters was developed. Furthermore, a total of 631 UBM images of 127 subjects(221 eyes)at Huangshi Aier Eye Hospital and 594 UBM images of 188 subjects(257 eyes)at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were selected to evaluate the performance of the system under different environments.RESULTS: The accuracy of the analysis system constructed in this study for chamber angle opening and closing was 95.71%. The intra-class correlation coefficient(ICC)values of all ACA angle parameters were greater than 0.960. ICC values of all ACA thickness parameters were greater than 0.884. The accurate measurement of ACA parameters depended in part on the accurate location of the scleral spur.CONCLUSION: The intelligent analysis system constructed in this study can accurately and effectively evaluate ACA images automatically and is a potential screening tool for the rapid identification of ACA structures.

With the development of modern sequencing techniques and bioinformatics, genomes that were once thought to be noncoding have been found to encode abundant functional micropeptides (miPs), a kind of small polypeptides. Although miPs are difficult to analyze and identify, a number of studies have begun to focus on them. More and more miPs have been revealed as essential for energy metabolism homeostasis, immune regulation, and tumor growth and development. Many reports have shown that miPs are especially essential for regulating glucose and lipid metabolism and regulating mitochondrial function. MiPs are also involved in the progression of related diseases. This paper reviews the sources and identification of miPs, as well as the functional significance of miPs for metabolism-related diseases, with the aim of revealing their potential clinical applications.

This study aims to investigate the regulatory effect of Sishen Pills(SSP) and its split prescriptions Ershen Pills(EP) and Wuweizi Powder(WP) on T follicular helper(Tfh) cell subset in the dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)-induced colitis mice and the mechanism. A total of 60 male SPF BALB/c mice were used, 10 of which were randomly selected as the normal group. The rest 50 were induced with 3% DSS solution for colitis modeling. After modeling, they were randomized into 5 groups: model group, SSP group, EP group, WP group, and mesalazine group. Body mass, colon mass, colon mass index, colon length, and unit colon mass index in each group were observed. After hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, the pathological injury of colon tissue was scored. The expression levels of molecules related to the STAT/SOCS signaling pathway in colon tissues were analyzed by Western blot. Differentiation levels of Tfh cells such as CD4~+CXCR5~+IL-9~+(Tfh9), CD4~+CXCR5~+IL-17~+(Tfh17), and CD4~+CXCR5~+Foxp3~+(Tfr) in peripheral blood of mice were detected by flow cytometry. The results showed each treatment group demonstrated significant increase in body mass and colon length, decrease in colon mass, colon mass index, unit colon mass index, and histopathological score(P<0.05, P<0.01), reduction of the expression of p-STAT3, STAT3, p-STAT6, and STAT6(P<0.05, P<0.01), rise of the expression of SOCS1 and SOCS3(P<0.05, P<0.01), decrease of Tfh9 and Tfh17 cells, and increase of Tfr cells(P<0.05, P<0.01) compared with the model group. These results indicated that SSP and the split EP and WP may alleviate ulcerative colitis by inhibiting the activation of STAT/SOCS signaling pathway and regulating the balance of Tfr/Tfh9/Tfh17 cells.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly invasive type of cancer with insidious onset and high mortality. Polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1) is highly over-expressed in various types of tumor tissues, which contributes to cancer progression. But the role of PTBP1 in CCA has not been explored yet. In this study, we aim to investigate the function of PTBP1 in CCA. Therefore, we used publicly available data from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) to evaluate the dysregulation of PTBP1 in CCA. The results showed that the PTBP1 is significantly up-regulated in CCA tissues compared to the matched non-tumor tissues (P < 0. 05). We assessed the effects of PTBP1 on the growth of CCA cell lines RBE and HuH28 by performing CCK-8 and plate colony formation assays. The results showed that overexpression of PTBP1 significantly promoted the growth (P < 0. 01) of CCA cells, whereas knockdown of PTBP1 exhibited opposite effects. Transwell and Invasion assays revealed that overexpression of PTBP1 significantly promotes the migration and invasion of CCA cells (P < 0. 001), whereas knockdown of PTBP1 exhibited opposite effects (P < 0. 001). The RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis in PTBP1-depleted cells showed that the up-regulated genes are significantly enriched in p53 signaling pathway, while the down-regulated genes are represented by cholesterol metabolism, Rho GTPase and TGF-β pathways. Then, the alternative splicing analysis revealed that inhibition of PTBP1 led to series of aberrant alternative splicing events, including several cancer-associated ones, such as splicing events within the TGF-β regulator TGIF1 and the p53 activity-correlated gene GNAS. These results indicate that PTBP1 promotes the progression of CCA likely by regulating the transcriptome alternative splicing to influence multiple cancer-associated signaling pathways.

AIM: To optimize an orthopedic non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) model in nude mouse by comparing four different ways of cellular transplantation, and to evaluate the efficacy of drug by bladder instillation, so as to provide a stable and efficient animal model for the treatment of bladder cancer. METHODS: After disruption of bladder mucosa by dilute acid-alkali or silver nitrate, T24 cells were instilled into the nude mouse bladder. T24 cells were injected directly into the bladder with mechanical injury of bladder mucosa. T24 cells were injected into the bladder wall. On the 14th day after making models, the nude mice were sacrificed. And the bladder mass and histopathological changes of tumor (including bladder) was observe to confirm the formation of orthopedic bladder cancer. The dynamic changes of orthopedic bladder cancer were observed after injecting T24 cells into the bladder wall. Gemcitabine was used to verify the applicability of the model of injecting T24 cells into the bladder wall in vivo. RESULTS: No tumor was found in the bladder after intravesical instillation of T24 cells with dilute acid-alkali or silver nitrate treatment. With mechanical injury of bladder mucosa, all nude mice had tumors after injection T24 cells. But the number of tumors varied and often occurred at multiple sites. The tumor was found in the bladder of all nude mice by injecting T24 cells into bladder wall, and there was only one tumor. The tumor showed slow linear growth within 15 days and rapid linear growth from day 18 to 31. In vivo efficacy evaluation, gemcitabine 150 mg/kg intravesical perfusion could significantly inhibit the growth of NMIBC in nude mice replicated by direct injection of T24 cells into the bladder wall, and the tumor inhibition rate was 97.1%. CONCLUSION: The orthotopic NMIBC model can not be established with the bladder mucosa injuried by dilute acid-alkali or silver nitrate treatment. The number and size of orthotopic bladder cancer are different by mechanical injury of bladder mucosa. Injection of T24 cells into the bladder wall of nude mouse can successfully establish the orthotopic NMIBC model, which can be used for the evaluation of NMIBC therapeutic drugs.

OBJECTIVE@#To examine the effects of ursolic acid (UA) on mitigating retinoic acid (RA)-induced osteoporosis in rats.@*METHODS@#Fifty female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control group (n=10) and the osteoporosis group (n=40). The 40 osteoporosis rats were induced by 75 mg/(kg•d) RA once daily for 2 weeks, and then were randomly assigned to vehicle control (model), low-, middle-, and high-dose UA [(UA-L, UA-M, UA-H; 30, 60, 120 mg/(kg•d), respectively] groups (10 rats each). UA were administered once daily to the rats from the 3rd weeks for up to 4 weeks by gavage. Bone turnover markers [serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), urine deoxypyridinoline (DPD)] and other parameters, including serum calcium (S-Ca), serum phosphorus (S-P), urine calcium (U-Ca), urine phosphorus (U-P), and bone mineral density (BMD) of the femur, 4th lumbar vertebra and tibia, bone biomechanical properties and trabecular microarchitecture, were measured.@*RESULTS@#The osteoporosis in rats was successfully induced by RA. Compared with the model group, UA-M and UA-H significantly reversed the RA-induced changes in S-P, U-Ca, U-P, ALP, OCN and urine DPD ratio and markedly enhanced the BMD of right femur, 4th lumbar vertebra and tibia (Plt;0.05 or Plt;0.01). Further, biomechanical test and microcomputed tomography evaluation also showed that UA-H drastically improved biomechanical properties and trabecular microarchitecture (Plt;0.05 or Plt;0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#UA could promote bone formation, increase osteoblastic activity and reduce osteoclastic activity in rats, indicating that UA might be a potential therapeutic of RA-induced acute osteoporosis.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are a class of hepatotoxic compounds that are largely found in plants. "Zicao" is one of the most commonly-used Chinese herbal medicines from multiple sources, owing to its anti-inflammatory and wound healing effects. However, many studies have shown that this herb and its relative species contain hepatotoxic PAs. These PAs may cause hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome following metabolic activation, and are therefore considered as potential toxic substances. Even though the toxicity of "Zicao" in clinical use has not been reported, the existence of PAs will undoubtedly post a threat for its safety in long-term use. It has now become the focus of many researchers to disclose and prevent its potential risk of intoxication. This review summarizes recent progress and key scientific evidence found in the research of pyrrolizidine alkaloids from "Zicao" and its relative species, including their metabolic toxicity. We comment on the need of future studies, such as providing a reference or guidance for safety evaluation of this medicinal herb in clinical practice.

So, nuclear development and nuclear safety have ushered in new opportunities and challenges. To this end, we must maintain a clear understanding, grasp new opportunities, meet new challenges, and be prepared for danger. Thus, a bright future for research in radiation medicine will come.

Objective: To investigate the effects of artesunate combined with bortezomib on the proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy of human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines MV4-11, and its mechanisms. Methods: MTT method was used to determine the anti-proliferation effect of different concentrations of artesunate, bortezomib and their combination on MV4-11 cells. The cell apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of cleaved-Caspase-3, Bcl-2 family protein (Bcl-2, Mcl-1, Bim, Bax) and autophagy-related protein LC3B were assayed by Western blot. Results: Artesunate displayed a proliferation inhibition effect on MV4-11 with dose- and time-dependent manner, the IC(50) of artesunate on MV4-11 after 48 hours was 1.44 μg/ml. Bortezomib displayed a proliferation inhibition effect on MV4-11 with dose-dependent manner, the IC(50) of bortezomib on MV4-11 after 48 hours was 8.97 nmol/L. The combination of artesunate (0.75, 1.0 μg/ml) and Bortezomib (6, 8 nmol/L) showed higher inhibition on MV4-11 than artesunate or bortezomib alone in the same concentration gradient after 48 hours (P<0.05) . The cooperation index of the two drugs were all less than 1. The 48 h apoptotic rate of artesunate (1.5 μg/ml) on MV4-11 was (15.27±2.18) %, (19.85±3.23) % of bortezomib (8 nmol/L) , (81.67±5.96) % of combination of the two drugs, significantly higher than the single group (P<0.05) . When combination of the two drugs on MV4-11 after 24 hours, the levels of pro-apoptotic protein Bim and the cleaved activation of Caspase-3 and autophagy-related protein LC3B were up-regulated and the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 expressions was down-regulated. Conclusion: Combination of artesunate with bortezomib shows a significant synergistic effects on proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy of MV4-11 cell lines, which may be associated with Bcl-2 family proteins expression.

OBJECTIVE@#To study the clinical features of children with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and related recurrence factors.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data and prognosis of 73 children with ADEM who were hospitalized from November 2011 to January 2017.@*RESULTS@#Among the 73 children, 41 (56%) had a history of infection before onset and 7 (10%) had a history of vaccination. All children had the symptoms of encephalopathy, including disturbance of consciousness in 47 children (64%) and mental and behavioral disorders in 54 children (74%). Pyrexia was observed in 53 children (73%), dyskinesia in 47 children (64%), headache in 47 children (64%) and vomiting in 40 children (55%). Brain MRI was performed for 65 children and the results showed involvement of the subcortical white matter (83%, 54/65), the deep nuclei (60%, 39/65), the brain stem (58%, 38/65) and the cerebellum (42%, 27/65). Spinal cord involvement was observed in 20 children (20/43, 47%). A total of 15 children experienced recurrence during follow-up. Compared with the non-recurrence group, the recurrence group had significantly higher percentages of children with deep nucleus involvement (P2 weeks (P2 weeks) may be associated with the recurrence of ADEM.
