Objective@#To explore the clinical and cytogenetic characteristics and risk factors of multiple myeloma (MM) patients with renal impairment (RI).@*Methods@#A total of 113 newly diagnosed patients with MM in the department of nephrology and hematology in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled. The patients were divided into RI group and non-renal impairment (NRI) group according to whether serum creatinine (Scr) at the time of diagnosis was higher than 177 μmol/L. The clinical and laboratory data of two groups were compared. The risk factors of RI in MM patients were analyzed by binary logistic regression, and then the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of these risk factors.@*Results@#The incidence of RI in 113 MM patients was 34.5%. Compared with NRI group, levels of white blood cells, serum uric acid, blood urea nitrogen, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), cystatin C, β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), blood phosphorus, urine light chain, bone-marrow plasma cell percentage, International Staging System (ISS) stage III percentage, light chain type percentage, positive urinary Bence-Jones protein percentage and positive urinary protein percentage were higher in RI group, while levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum bicarbonate concentration and globulin were lower in RI group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in other clinical variables between the two groups (all P>0.05). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was applied to 42 MM patients to detect the following five genetic abnormalities: IgH rearrangement, 1q21 amplification, RB1 deletion, D13S319 deletion and P53 deletion. Among them, 29 (69.0%) patients were abnormal. The incidence of RB1 deletion in RI group was higher than NRI group (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in the incidences of other genetic abnormalities (all P>0.05). Further logistic regression analysis showed that increase of NLR (OR=1.589, 95%CI 1.115-2.266, P=0.010), bone-marrow plasma cell percentage (OR=1.053, 95%CI 1.008-1.101, P=0.021) and β2-MG (OR=22.166, 95%CI 2.146-228.927, P=0.009), light chain type (OR=15.399, 95%CI 1.002-236.880, P=0.049), and hyperuricemia (OR=11.707, 95%CI 1.580-86.717, P=0.016) were the independent risk factors for RI in MM patients. The comparison of area under the ROC (AUC) among these risk factors showed the AUC of β2-MG was larger than that of NLR or uric acid (both P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in the rest of pairwise comparison (all P>0.05). The AUC of β2-MG predicting RI was the largest (AUC=0.907, 95%CI 0.853-0.962, P<0.001).@*Conclusions@#MM patients have high morbidity of RI, and there are more RI patients with RB1 deletion in RI patients. Light chain type, hyperuricemia, high level of NLR, high bone-marrow plasma cell percentage and increased β2-MG are the independent risk factors for RI in MM patients. Among them, β2-MG is the best predictor for RI, and NLR plays an important role in predicting RI as a convenient and effective inflammatory marker.

Objective:To investigate the clinical management value of chitinase 3-like 1 protein(CHI3L1) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by studying the expression of CHI3L1 in peripheral blood, liver cancer and paired adjacent non-tumor tissues.Methods:Retrospective study. From 2013 to 2017, 405 patients with HCC in Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University were enrolled into the study. Meanwhile, 112 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), 114 health subjects were included as disease and health controls. CHI3L1 in peripheral blood was detected by ELISA kit. Tissues array was made by collecting 90 pairs of tumor tissues and matched paracancer tissues, from HCC patients who were conformed by pathology. The expression of CHI3L1 in HCC tissues was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Differences between independent groups were tested by Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal Wallis H test, Pearson correlation analysis was used for analyzing the relationship between two subjects, and matched rank sum test was used for cancer tissue and adjacent tissue comparison. Results:The median (quartile) of CHI3L1 protein in LC group, HCC group and NC group was 195.8 (103.3,330.4) μg/L,118.2 (74.9,201.0) μg/L,46.8 (30.7,66.4) μg/L independently. The protein level of CHI3L1 in LC group was significantly higher than that in HCC group and health control group ( Z=5.186,12.928, P<0.001). HCC group was significantly higher than that in health control group ( Z=10.788, P<0.001). The level of CHI3L1 in HCC group was not related to whether liver cirrhosis was accompanied ( Z=-0.286, P=0.775). The level of serum CHI3L1 was positively correlated with noninvasive fibrosis markers (HA, PⅢNP, Ⅳ-C, FIB-4 index) ( r=0.202,0.159,0.299 and 0.221, P<0.05) and negatively correlated with ALB( r=-0.326, P<0.05) while positively correlated with AST and PT( r=0.138, 0.160, P<0.05). Positively correlation was observed between CHI3L1 and tumor size ( r=0.284, P<0.001). CNLC stage [CHI3L1 level in advanced group125.2(81.9,228.5)μg/L was higher than that in early group112.0(70.2,169.2)μg/L ( Z=-2.326, P=0.018)], but no correlation with microvascular invasion( Z=-1.531) and tumor capsule(χ 2=0.818, P>0.05). In 73 cases of HCC tissues, the positive rate of CHI3L1 was 78% (57/73) in cancer tissues and 83%(61/73) in paired adjacent non-tumor tissues. The staining intensity score of paracancer tissue 1.5(1.5,2.5) was higher than that of cancer tissue 1.5(1.5,2.0)( Z=-2.053, P=0.040). Conclusions:The tissue source of CHI3L1 protein in HCC includes cancer tissue and paracancerous tissue. The detection of serum CHI3L1 level is helpful to evaluate tumor load assessment and disease stratification management in HCC.

Objective To explore the molecular genetic characteristics of primary and recurrent glioblastomas (GBMs) from the same patient in vivo, primary glioma stem cells cultured in vitro, and patient-derived xenograft (PDX). Methods (1) The primary and recurrent GBM specimens from one patient during surgical resection were collected; and the expressions of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), nestin and Ki-67 were detected by immunohistochemical staining; the methylation of O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene, mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene and amplification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene were analyzed. (2) The primary and recurrent GBM stem cells were cultured in vitro and named as SU5-1 and SU5-2 cells, respectively; the expressions of nestin and CD133 were detected by immunohistochemical staining; GFAP expression was detected by immunohistochemical staining after induced differentiation, and the growth curve was detected by CCK-8 assay; Transwell invasion assay was used to detect the invasion ability; cell resistance to temozolomide (TMZ), carboplatin (CBP), cisplatin (DDP) and adriamycin (ADM) was detected by CCK-8 assay; the protein expression of programmed death receptor-ligand 1 (PD-L1) was detected by Western blotting. The rate of PD-L1 positive cells was detected by flow cytometry; genetic testing analysis was as above. (3) The primary and recurrent in situ PDX models in nude mice were established, and the expressions of nestin, GFAP and Ki-67 were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results (1) As compared with the primary GBM, the recurrent GBM had significantly higher percentages of Ki-67 and nestin positive cells, while statistically lower percentage of GFAP positive cells (P<0.05); genetic analysis showed that there was no mutation in IDH gene in the primary GBM tissues and recurrent GBM tissues; the MGMT gene in the primary GBM tissues was methylated and EGFR gene was not amplified, while the MGMT gene in recurrent GBM tissues was demethylated and EGFR gene amplification was positive. (2) Both SU5-1 and SU5-2 cells expressed nestin and CD133, and GFAP was expressed after induced differentiation; the growth curve showed that the proliferation of SU5-2 cells started earlier than that of SU5-1 cells, the two were equal on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th d, and the proliferation of SU5-1 cells was faster than that of SU5-2 cells from the 6th d; the invasion ability of SU5-2 cells was statistically stronger than that of SU5-1 cells (P<0.05); the inhibition rates of SU5-2 cells treated with 5, 10, and 15 mmol/L CBP, 0.3125, 1.25, and 5 mmol/L DDP, 0.5 and 2 mmol/L ADM, and 125 and 500 mmol/L TMZ were significantly lower than those of SU5-1 cells treated with the same concentrations and same drugs (P<0.05); the protein expression of PD-L1 in SU5-2 cells was higher than that in SU5-1 cells; the positive rate of PD-L1 in SU5-2 cells was statistically higher than that in SU5-1 cells (P<0.05); the results of genetic analysis were consistent with those of the primary and recurrent GBM samples. (3) As compared with those in the primary PDX model, the nestin and Ki-67 expressions were significantly higher and GFAP expression was significantly lower in the recurrent PDX model (P<0.05); the results of genetic analysis were consistent with those of the primary and recurrent GBM samples. Conclusions Genetic differences are detected between primary and recurrent GBMs; recurrent GBM has stronger invasive capacity and multi-drug resistance. The primary stem cells derived from surgical specimens and corresponding PDX models could replicate the molecular genetic characteristics of original tumors, which provide a reliable experimental platform for both tumor translation researches and screening of molecular therapeutic targets.

Objective: To study the effect of the stress distribution with three dimensional(3-D) finite element analysis technique between zirconia all-ceramic crown of maxillary central incisors and agglomerant with different thickness. Methods: A 3-D finite element model of all-ceramic crown (core layer and the veneer layer), agglomerant, tooth, tooth root and alveolar bone was established from CBCT data. The agglomerant thickness was designe as 50, 100 and 150 μm respectively. After a load simulating occlusion was imposed on to the model the stress distribution of agglomerant layer, the equivalent of veneer layer and the maximum principal stress were analysed. Results: With the increase of agglomerant thickness and the change of occlusion, the maximum principal stress of all ceramic crowns gradually increased, the equivalent stress increased first and then decreased, the equivalent stress and the maximum principal stress of agglomerant layer showed a downward trend. Conclusion: The use of agglomerant layer with the thickness of 50 μm is feasible for the bond of all ceramic crowns and may reduce the risk of veneer chipping.

Objective@#To estimate the early physical growth and disease in children born to HBsAg-positive mothers.@*Methods@#This was a retrospective cohort study. Three areas as Xihu in Hangzhou, Lanxi in Jinhua, and Haiyan in Jiaxing in Zhejiang province were selected by cluster sampling. The growth outcomes of children born to HBsAg-positive mothers (exposure group) and matched 1∶1 women uninfected with HBV (control group) in 2014 were investigated and compared at birth, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months, respectively. There were totally 342 children in each group.@*Results@#The incidences of low birth weight (LBW) for children born to exposure and control group were 1.8% (6/342), and 2.6% (9/342), respectively (P=0.433); and, rates of preterm birth were 2.3% (8/342), and 2.0% (7/342), respectively (P=0.794). The mean birth weight of children born to mothers without HBV infection (3.4±0.4) kg was dramatically higher than children in exposure group (3.3±0.4) kg (P=0.019). At 18 months, the average head circumference was significantly greater among children in control group (47.3±1.3) cm than children in exposure group (47.0±2.0) cm (P=0.038). Additional, mean birth weeks, height, weight, increases in height/weight/head circumference each month, weight/height/head circumference for age Z scores, proportion of growth retardation and low weight, disease prevalence were not observed statistically differences between two groups (P>0.05). All children born to HBsAg-positive mothers were received three-dose HBV vaccination. The rate of hepatitis B immunoglobulin for births born to HBsAg-positive was 98.8% (338/342). Mother to children transmission of HBV at 18 months was 1.0% (1/97).@*Conclusion@#No significant differences in growth development and disease prevalence were found among children born to HBsAg-positive women and women without HBV infection.
