Establishment of a Patient-Derived T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Xenograft Model in Novel Immunodeficient NCG Mice / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#The leukemia cells from patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) were inoculated into NCG mice to establish a stable human T-ALL leukemia animal model.@*METHODS@#Leukemia cells from bone marrow of newly diagnosed T-ALL patients were isolated, and the leukemia cells were inoculated into NCG mice via tail vein. The proportion of hCD45 positive cells in peripheral blood of the mice was detected regularly by flow cytometry, and the infiltration of leukemia cells in bone marrow, liver, spleen and other organs of the mice was detected by pathology and immunohistochemistry. After the first generation mice model was successfully established, the spleen cells from the first generation mice were inoculated into the second generation mice, and after the second generation mice model was successfully established, the spleen cells from the second generation mice were further inoculated into the third generation mice, and the growth of leukemia cells in peripheral blood of the mice in each group was monitored by regular flow cytometry to evaluate the stability of this T-ALL leukemia animal model.@*RESULTS@#On the 10th day after inoculation, hCD45+ leukemia cells could be successfully detected in the peripheral blood of the first generation mice, and the proportion of these cells was gradually increased. On average, the mice appeared listless 6 or 7 weeks after inoculation, and a large number of T lymphocyte leukemia cells were found in the peripheral blood and bone marrow smear of the mice. The spleen of the mice was obviously enlarged, and immunohistochemical examination showed that hCD3+ leukemia cells infiltrated into bone marrow, liver and spleen extensively. The second and third generation mice could stably develop leukemia, and the average survival time was 4-5 weeks.@*CONCLUSION@#Inoculating leukemia cells from bone marrow of patients with T-ALL into NCG mice via tail vein can successfully construct a patient-derived tumor xenografts (PDTX) model.

Stereoscopic reconstruction in adults with intermittent exotropia after surgery / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM: To investigate the status of stereoscopic reconstruction in adults with intermittent exotropia after surgery, and analyze related influencing factors.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted among 196 adults with intermittent exotropia who were admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2021. All patients underwent strabismus surgery, and their preoperative and postoperative data were collected.RESULTS: Near and distal stereo visual function was not found in all the included 196 patients before surgery. The reconstruction rates of near stereo visual function and distal stereo visual function were 52.6%(103/196)and 50.5%(99/196), respectively. There were significant differences in surgical age, age of onset, course of disease, and postoperative level of horizontal strabismus between patients with near stereoscopic reconstruction(103 cases)and those without reconstruction(93 cases; P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age of onset, course of disease, and postoperative level of horizontal strabismus were factors influencing near stereo visual function reconstruction(P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)values of age of onset, course of disease and postoperative level of horizontal strabismus to predict near stereo visual function reconstruction were 0.757, 0.737 and 0.727, respectively(P<0.001). There were significant differences in surgical age, age of onset, course of disease, and postoperative level of horizontal strabismus between patients with distal stereoscopic reconstruction(99 cases)and those without reconstruction(97 cases; P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age of onset and course of disease were factors influencing distal stereo visual function reconstruction(P<0.05). ROC curve showed that the AUC values of age of onset and course of disease to predict distal stereo visual function reconstruction were 0.672 and 0.821, respectively(P<0.001).CONCLUSION: Stereoscopic reconstruction in adults with intermittent exotropia after surgery is affected by many factors, such as age of onset and course of disease. The influencing factors of near stereo visual function reconstruction and distal stereo visual function reconstruction are different, which deserves attention.

Inhibitory Effect of Cinobufotalin on Macrophage Inflammatory Factor Storm and Its Mechanism / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the inflammatory effects of Cinobufotalin on monocytes in resting state and macrophages in activated state and its molecular mechanism.@*METHODS@#THP-1 cells were stimulated with Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate to induce differentiation into macrophages. Lipopolysaccharides was added to activate macrophages in order to establish macrophage activation model. Cinobufotalin was added to the inflammatory cell model for 24 h as a treatment. CCK-8 was used to detect cell proliferation, Annexin V /PI double staining flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis, flow cytometry was used to detect macrophage activation, and cytometric bead array was used to detect cytokines. Transcriptome sequencing was used to explore the gene expression profile regulated by Cinobufotalin. Changes in the significantly regulated molecules were verified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.@*RESULTS@#1∶25 concentration of Cinobufotalin significantly inhibited the proliferation of resting monocytes(P<0.01), and induced apoptosis(P<0.01), especially the activated macrophages(P<0.001, P<0.001). Cinobufotalin significantly inhibited the activation of macrophages, and significantly down-regulated the inflammatory cytokines(IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8) released by activated macrophages(P＜0.001). Its mechanism was achieved by inhibiting TLR4/MYD88/P-IκBa signaling pathway.@*CONCLUSION@#Cinobufotalin can inhibit the inflammatory factors produced by the over-activation of macrophages through TLR4/MYD88/P-IκBa pathway, which is expected to be applied to the treatment and research of diseases related to the over-release of inflammatory factors.

Multi-task motor imagery electroencephalogram classification based on adaptive time-frequency common spatial pattern combined with convolutional neural network / 生物医学工程学杂志

The effective classification of multi-task motor imagery electroencephalogram (EEG) is helpful to achieve accurate multi-dimensional human-computer interaction, and the high frequency domain specificity between subjects can improve the classification accuracy and robustness. Therefore, this paper proposed a multi-task EEG signal classification method based on adaptive time-frequency common spatial pattern (CSP) combined with convolutional neural network (CNN). The characteristics of subjects' personalized rhythm were extracted by adaptive spectrum awareness, and the spatial characteristics were calculated by using the one-versus-rest CSP, and then the composite time-domain characteristics were characterized to construct the spatial-temporal frequency multi-level fusion features. Finally, the CNN was used to perform high-precision and high-robust four-task classification. The algorithm in this paper was verified by the self-test dataset containing 10 subjects (33 ± 3 years old, inexperienced) and the dataset of the 4th 2018 Brain-Computer Interface Competition (BCI competition Ⅳ-2a). The average accuracy of the proposed algorithm for the four-task classification reached 93.96% and 84.04%, respectively. Compared with other advanced algorithms, the average classification accuracy of the proposed algorithm was significantly improved, and the accuracy range error between subjects was significantly reduced in the public dataset. The results show that the proposed algorithm has good performance in multi-task classification, and can effectively improve the classification accuracy and robustness.

Role of β-adrenergic receptors in development of breast cancer / 中国药理学通报

; β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) are widely found in organs of the human body and play an important role in regulating heart function, blood vessel dilation, energy metabolism, etc. Studies have shown that β-ARs are abnormally high in breast cancer cells, which can promote the occurrence and development of breast cancer by affecting the growth and metabolism of breast cancer, invasive metastasis, and angiogenesis. Clinical studies have shown that blocking β-ARs signaling improves the prognosis of breast cancer patients, so β-ARs may be a potential treatment target for breast cancer. This paper summarizes the role of β-ARs in the development of breast cancer, with a view to providing some reference for follow-up research and clinical treatment.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of strokeassociated pneumonia (SAP) in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 375 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage were selected from the department of neurology and neurosurgery during January 2013 to December 2015 in our hospital.According to the incidence of SAP,they were divided into the observation group (complicated with SAP,n =79) and control group (not complicated with SAP,n =296).Clinical data were collected,and clinical characteristics and related risk factors of SAP complicated with acute cerebral hemorrhage were analyzed.Results Among all the 79 SAP patients in observation group,there were 38 cases with gram-negative bacterial infections,25 cases with gram-positive bacterial infections,16 cases with mixed infections.The SAP incidence in patients with massive hemorrhage was higher than that in patients with nonmasive hemorrhage (x2 =11.301,P＜ 0.01),and was higher in patients with cerebellum,brainstem,ventricle,thalamus and multifoeal hemorrhage than that in patients with basal ganglion and brain lobe hemorrhage(x2 =4.023,P＜0.05).The hospitalization days of the observation group was longer than that of the control group [(32.7 ± 16.2) versus (17.3 ± 6.7),t=2.93,P＜ 0.01].The mortality of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (24.1％ versus 3.7％),(x2 =8.720,P＜ 0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age≥ 65 (OR =4.87),underlying lung diseases (OR =5.30),bulbar paralysis (OR =7.39),disorder of consciousness (OR=4.11),NIHSS score ＞ 4 (OR =3.96),invasive airway operations (OR=3.78),gastric tube (OR =4.37),H2-receptor blocking agents application (OR =2.09) were independent risk factors for SAP in acute intraerebral hemorrhage patients.Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens of SAP in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage.The patients complicated with SAP after acute cerebral hemorrhage have poor prognosis including prolonged hospitalization period and higher mortality.SAP in acute intraerebral hemorrhage patients is closely related to the following factors:age≥65,underlying lung diseases,bulbar paralysis,disorder of consciousness,NIHSS score ＞ 4,invasive airway operations,gastric tube,H2-receptor blocking agents.

Surgical method and extent of reoperation in patients with concomitant strabismus / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM:To investigate the surgical method and extent of reoperation in the concomitant strabismus patients with surgical under-correction and over-correction. METHODS: Ninety - six concomitant strabismus patients with surgical under - correction and over -correction were recruited in this study, which included 41 males and 55 females, aged 21. 90±14. 70. All individuals underwent routine eye examinations for strabismus before the surgery. Among the cases with concomitant esotropia, there were over-correction in 23 cases, under-correction in 15 cases. Among the cases with concomitant exotropia, there were over-correction in 28 cases, under - correction in 30 cases. The method of reoperation were based on angle of deviation, the method of original operation and acute visual acuity of patients. RESULTS:In over - correction cases with concomitant esotropia, medial rectus muscle of 9 cases were advanced, the corrective extent was (5. 51±2. 63) ? / mm;9 cases were performed advance of medial rectus muscle and recession of lateral rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (6. 25±1. 59) ? / mm; 3 cases were performed resection of medial rectus muscle and recession of lateral rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (4. 26±1. 04) ? /mm; only 2 cases were performed recession of lateral rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (4. 21±1. 91) ? /mm. In under - correction cases with concomitant esotropia, 6 cases were performed resection of lateral rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (4. 03±0. 98) ? /mm; 6 cases were performed resection of lateral rectus muscle and recession of medial rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (6. 86 ± 1. 32) ? / mm; 3 cases were performed recession of medial rectus muscle, the corrective extent was ( 4. 33 ± 0. 29 ) ? / mm. In over -correction cases with concomitant exotropia, 16 cases were performed advance of lateral rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (5. 37 ± 1. 56) ? / mm; 6 cases were performed recession of medial rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (6. 29 ± 3. 68) ? / mm; 5 cases were performed advance of lateral rectus muscle and recession of medial rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (5. 46±1. 78) ? / mm; 1 case were performed resection of lateral rectus muscle, the corrective extent was 5. 00? / mm. In under - correction cases with concomitant exotropia, 12 cases were performed resection of medial rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (4. 47 ± 0. 54) ? / mm; 16 cases were performed recession of lateral rectus muscle and resection of medial rectus muscle, the corrective extent was ( 5. 11 ± 0. 75 ) ? / mm; 2 cases were performed recession of lateral rectus muscle, the corrective extent was (2. 65±0. 42) ? / mm. CONCLUSION: In reoperation of concomitant strabismus patients with over-correction, weakening or/and strengthening the horizontal muscle which were performed surgery before has a greater and more unstable surgical corrective extent. While In reoperation of concomitant strabismuspatients with under -correction, weakening or/ and strengthening the horizontal muscle which were not performed surgery has a normal corrective extent as usual.
