ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the quality control of magnetic resonance enterography(MRE)in the diagnosis of intestine diseases,and analyze the factors that affected the imaging quality of MRE,and enhance the imaging quality of MRE through adopted the measures of quality control.Methods:The documents of MRE examinations of 167 patients with intestinal disease who admitted to the 900th Hospital of People's Liberation Army Joint Service Support Force from May 2018 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The image qualities of all patients were evaluated after they completed clinical and image examinations.The reasons that image quality could not meet the requirement of diagnosis were analyzed.And then,the measures of quality control were proposed.Results:In 167 patients with intestinal disease,the MRE images of 153 patients(91.62%)could meet the requirement of diagnosis.In 14 patients(8.38%)whose MRE images could not meet the requirement of diagnosis,the reason of 3 cases(1.80%)was poor respiratory coordination,and that of 2 cases(1.20%)was there were more severe magnetic sensitive artifacts in images,and that of 1 case(0.60%)was severe intestinal peristalsis leaded to blurred images,and that of 2 cases(1.20%)was the flow void effect from intestinal peristalsis inside of intestinal cavity could not meet the requirement of diagnosis,and that of 4 cases(2.40%)was the intestinal tube without incomplete dilation caused by poor oral filling contrast agent,and that of 2 cases(1.20%)was many residues in intestine due to poor preparation for intestine.Aimed at the factors that MRE images could not meet requirement of diagnosis,we proposed the following quality control measures:①the biphasic contrast agents with favorable safety,without severe adverse reactions,which can fully dilate intestinal cavity,should be selected.②we should do well for the dilation of intestinal tube,and inhibit the intestinal peristalsis and conduct respiratory training.③we should conduct scan with wide field at coronal site,so as to display panorama image of intestine.④The scans of conventionally anatomical sequence and functional imaging sequence on axis position were performed on lesions.Conclusion:MRE technique should choose appropriate contrast agent in the quality control of the diagnosis of intestine diseases,and do well the preparation for patients before examination.Using intraluminal contrast agents,conducting intestinal dilation and optimal imaging technique are essential for obtaining intestinal MRE images with high quality.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the immunogenicity of the prefusion (PreF) and postfusion (PostF) conformations of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F protein.Methods:The expression of PreF and PostF recombinant proteins was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The binding affinity between F protein and its specific antibodies was detected by Octet. The binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies in immune serum were detected after immunizing mice with PreF or PostF recombinant protein.Results:PreF protein was stable in the form of a trimer after modification with higher binding affinity with monoclonal antibodies such as D25, 8897, AM14, Palivizumab and Motavizumab. PostF protein lacked the antigenic site ? and showed a monomer conformation. Besides, it was unable to bind to D25, 8897 and AM14 antibodies. Animal experiments showed that AS01 adjuvant was better than aluminum adjuvant in inducing binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against RSV Long strains. The binding antibodies induced by PreF and PostF recombinant proteins had similar binding ability to PreF protein, while the binding antibodies induced by PostF recombinant protein showed stronger binding ability to PostF than to PreF.Conclusions:PreF has more epitopes and the trimer form of PreF recombinant protein after modification is more stable and can induce stronger neutralizing antibodies. Moreover, the immunopotentiating effect of AS01 adjuvant is better than that of aluminum adjuvant. Therefore, stabilization-based trimer structure modification of PreF and the development of adjuvants are crucial for the development of RSV vaccines.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Dendrobii Caulis mixture on cell inflammatory response and apoptosis in diabetic rat with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) and its possible mechanism. MethodForty male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group and model group of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) with NAFLD according to body weight. The model was established by high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ), which was randomly divided into the model group, Dendrobii Caulis mixture group(16.67 g·kg-1·d-1) and metformin group(100 mg·kg-1·d-1) according to blood glucose and body weight, and 10 rats in each group. Rats in each group were administered by continuous gavage for 4 weeks, the blank and model groups were given saline by gavage at 10 mL·kg-1·d-1. Fasting blood glucose(FBG), serum insulin(INS), glycosylated serum protein(GSP), triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), high density lipoprotein(HDL-C), low density lipoprotein(LDL-C), alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) were detected in each group of rats. The liver tissues of rats in each group were stained with hematoxylin-eosin(HE) to observe the pathological changes, and the positive expressions of nuclear transcription factor(NF)-κB, NOD-like receptor heat protein structural domain-related protein 3(NLRP3), interleukin(IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α were observed by immunohistochemistry. Western blot and fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax), Caspase-3 and NF-κB p65, NLRP3, IL-1β, TNF-α in liver tissue of rats in each group. ResultCompared with the blank group, FBG, GSP, TC, TG, LDL-C, AST and ALT levels were increased, INS and HDL-C levels were decreased, Bax, Caspase-3, NLRP3, IL-1β, TNF-α protein and mRNA expression were increased in model group, the ratio of p-NF-κB/NF-κB protein increased, the expression of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA decreased, and the positive immunohistochemical expression of NF-κB, NLRP3, IL-1β and TNF-α increased, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01). The morphological structure of the liver was disrupted, and obvious fat vacuoles were seen. Compared with the model group, FBG, GSP, TC, TG, LDL-C, AST and ALT levels of Dendrobii Caulis mixture group and metformin group were decreased, INS and HDL-C levels were increased, and protein and mRNA expressions of Bax, Caspase-3, NLRP3, IL-1β and TNF-α were decreased, the protein ratio of p-NF-κB/NF-κB decreased, the expression of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA increased, and the positive immunohistochemical expressions of NF-κB, NLRP3, IL-1β and TNF-α decreased, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01). The liver morphology and structure were relatively complete, and the fat vacuoles were reduced. ConclusionDendrobii Caulis mixture can inhibit cell apoptosis, reduce inflammatory response and alleviate liver injury in rats with T2DM and NAFLD, the mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of NF-κB pathway, blocking the activation of NLRP3 inflammatory vesicles, reducing IL-1β secretion, attenuating Caspase-3 activity and reducing the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore any effect of pelvic floor muscle training and/or attention training on pelvic floor function and women′s symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods:Fifty incontinent women were divided into a control group ( n=25) and an experimental group ( n=25). Both groups received conventional pelvic muscle rehabilitation training, but the experimental group was additionally provided with attention training for 6 weeks. Before and after the 6 weeks of treatment, both groups were evaluated using surface electromyography of the pelvic floor. The short form of the International Urinary Incontinence Advisory Committee′s urinary incontinence questionnaire (ICIQ -SF) was used to assess the severity of incontinence and quality of life (I-QOL). Results:Before the treatment there was no significant difference between the 2 group′s pelvic floor myographs, nor in their average ICIQ-SF and I-QOL scores. After the treatment, however, compared with the control group, significant improvement was observed in experimental group′s peak amplitude during rapid contraction, average EMG in tonic contraction and endurance contraction. Their average ICIQ-SF and I-QOL scores were also better.Conclusion:Supplementing pelvic floor muscle training with attention training can effectively improve the urinary continence and the life quality of women with stress urinary incontinence.

ABSTRACT

The oral microbial community is widely regarded as a latent reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes. This study assessed the molecular epidemiology, susceptibility profile, and resistance mechanisms of 35 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) strains isolated from the dental plaque of a healthy human population. Broth microdilution minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) revealed that all the isolates were nonsusceptible to oxacillin and penicillin G. Most of them were also resistant to trimethoprim (65.7%) and erythromycin (54.3%). The resistance to multiple antibiotics was found to be largely due to the acquisition of plasmid-borne genes. The mecA and dfrA genes were found in all the isolates, mostly dfrG (80%), aacA-aphD (20%), aadD (28.6%), aphA3 (22.9%), msrA (5.7%), and the ermC gene (14.3%). Classical mutational mechanisms found in these isolates were mainly efflux pumps such as qacA (31.4%), qacC (25.7%), tetK (17.1%), and norA (8.6%). Multilocus sequence type analysis revealed that sequence type 59 (ST59) strains comprised 71.43% of the typed isolates, and the eBURST algorithm clustered STs into the clonal complex 2-II(CC2-II). The staphyloccoccal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type results showed that 25 (71.43%) were assigned to type IV. Moreover, 88.66% of the isolates were found to harbor six or more biofilm-associated genes. The aap, atlE, embp, sdrF, and IS256 genes were detected in all 35 isolates. This research demonstrates that biofilm-positive multiple-antibiotic-resistant ST59-SCCmec IV S. epidermidis strains exist in the dental plaque of healthy people and may be a potential risk for the transmission of antibiotic resistance.

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish an artificial intelligence deep learning model using clinical colonoscopy images and video to assist the diagnosis by colonoscopy. Methods More than 600000 colonoscopy images were collected in endoscopic center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from 2014 to 2018, and endoscopic experts recorded a large number of high-quality operation video of colonoscopy as analysis data. After repeated discussion by six experts, the classified intestinal sites and pathological features were determined, and fuzzy and confusable images were deleted. The final selection result was approximately 1 out of 4. And then the features of images were marked using an independently developed software. The deep learning algorithm was developed using TensorFlow platform of Google. Results After repeated comparison and analysis of the results of machine training and judgment results combined with pathology from endoscopic experts, the sensitivity of the model for some diseases ( such as colon polyps) was 99% under laboratory conditions. In the clinical colonoscopy test, the sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy of this model for diagnosis of colon polyps were 98. 30%(4187/4259), 88. 10% (17620/20000), and 92. 92% [2×98. 30%×88. 10%/(98. 30%+88. 10%)], respectively. The sensitivity and specificity for ulcerative colitis were 78. 32% ( 2671/3410) , and 67. 06%(13412/20000), respectively. The diagnosis time spent on a single image was 0. 5±0. 03 s, and it was the real time for application, including system recognition, text prompt in video image, background record and storage. Conclusion The artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis model developed by our team can identify colonic polyps, colorectal cancer, colorectal eminence, colonic diverticulum, ulcerative colitis, etc. The auxiliary diagnosis model of colon disease can guide beginners to carry out colonoscopy, and can improve lesion detection rate, reduce misdiagnosis rate, and improve the overall operating efficiency of endoscopic center, which is conducive to the quality control of colonoscopy.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To observe the histopathological features of different opportunistic infections and tumors of the intestinal mucosa in AIDS patients, and to explore the correlation between different lesions and CD4+ T lymphocyte levels.@*Methods@#Colonic mucosal biopsy specimens of 263 patients with clinically diagnosed AIDS and abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in the stool and other gastrointestinal symptoms were collected from Beijing Ditan Hospital from 2010 to 2018. There were 232 males and 31 females, with age range 10-81 (mean 40±13) years. HE staining, histochemical special staining, immunohistochemical staining, and in-situ hybridization were used to detect the expression of different opportunistic infection pathogens, tumors and CD4+ T lymphocytes. Peripheral blood was also taken for CD4+ T lymphocytes, CD8+ T lymphocytes, HIV viral load and routine indicators.@*Results@#The cohort included 263 intestinal mucosal biopsy specimens. There were 175 cases (66.5%) of non-specific inflammation, and pathogens were detected in 41 cases (15.6%), including 20 cases(7.6%) of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, 12 cases (4.6%) of mycobacterial infection, eight cases (3.0%) of amoeba infestation, and one case (0.3%) of talaromycesmarneffei infection; there were also 41 (15.6%) neoplastic lesions including 25 cases (9.5%) of intraepithelial neoplasia, 10 cases (3.8%) of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, six cases (2.3%) of lymphoma; and six cases (2.3%) of ulcerative colitis. The peripheral blood CD4+T lymphocyte levels of patients with CMV, mycobacteria and talaromycesmarneffei were less than 200/μL; the peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphocyte level (P<0.01) and intestinal mucosa CD4+T lymphocytes (P<0.01) were all significantly lower than those in patients with non-specific inflammation. The peripheral red blood cells and hemoglobin levels of patients with CMV and mycobacterial infection (P<0.01), adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.05) were significantly lower than those of non-specific inflammation patients.@*Conclusions@#Pathologic examination of intestinal mucosa can identify specific infections and neoplastic lesions in AIDS patients; the most common lesions are non-specific inflammation, and CMV infection is the most common opportunistic infections; CMV, mycobacteria and talaromycesmarneffei infections are associated with decreased levels of CD4+ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood and intestinal mucosa; entamoeba histolytica infestation and non-HIV-related neoplastic lesions such as intraepithelial neoplasia, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are not associated with changes in AIDS immune function.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This research aimed to investigate the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) in mandibular distraction osteogenesis (DO) regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and to explore the mechanism by which PTH promotes DO.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A rabbit mandibular DO model was established. The rabbits were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The former were subcutaneously injected with different doses of PTH on alternate days, the latter was injected with normal saline every other day. Serum OPG levels were detected through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The OPG and RANKL expression levels in the DO-induced formation of a new bone tissue were examined through immunohistochemistry staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The serum OPG levels gradually increased during distraction. At the end of the stretch, the OPG expression in the experimental group was significantly stronger than that in the control group. As the fixed period was extended, the OPG expression in the new bone gradually decreased, but the RANKL expression increased.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Intermittent subcutaneous PTH injection can upregulate the OPG expression and accelerate bone metabolism. Thus, this procedure promotes the early generation of a new bone in the mandible through DO.</p>
