ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Xinjia Congrong Tusizi decoction (XJCTD) on ovarian functions in the rat model of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and decipher the mechanism of regulating the tumor suppressor protein (p53)/nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway to attenuate granulosa cell ferroptosis. MethodForty-eight SPF-grade female SD rats were randomized into control, model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (1.1, 2.2, 4.4 g·kg-1) XJCTD, and Western medicine (coenzyme Q10, 0.002 7 g·kg-1) groups, with eight rats in each group. The rat model of POI was established by gavage of triptolide (TP), and after successful modeling, each group was administrated with the corresponding drugs by gavage for 14 d. The body weight and ovarian weight of each rat were weighed and the ovarian index was calculated. The morphology of the ovarian tissue was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the proportions of growing follicles and atretic follicles were calculated. The serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMM), estradiol (E2), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The DCFH-DA fluorescent probe was used to measure the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in granulosa cells. The content of cellular Ferrous ion (Fe2+), lipid peroxide (LPO), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) was detected by colorimetry. The expression of the tumor suppressor protein p53,Nrf2, solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) was determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed decreased ovarian weight, body weight, and ovarian index (P<0.01), reduced ovarian tissue volume and proportion of growing follicles (P<0.01), increased proportion of atretic follicles (P<0.01), lowered AMH and E2 levels and elevated FSH level in the serum (P<0.01), and elevated levels of Fe2+, ROS, LPO, and MDA (P<0.01) and lowered levels of GSH and SOD in granulosa cells (P<0.01). Moreover, the modeling up-regulated the expression of p53 (P<0.01) and down-regulated the expression of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 (P<0.05, P<0.01) in the ovarian tissue. Compared with the model group, XJCTD increased the body weight, ovarian weight, and ovarian index (P<0.01), alleviated the pathological changes in the ovarian tissue, increased the proportion of growing follicles (P<0.01), decreased the proportion of atretic follicles (P<0.01), and reduced the content of ROS in granulosa cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). In addition, medium- and high-dose XJCTD lowered the FSH level (P<0.01) and raised E2 and AMH levels (P<0.01) in the serum, reduced the Fe2+ content (P<0.05, P<0.01), and increased the SOD content (P<0.01) in granulosa cells. High-dose XJCTD reduced the LPO and MDA content (P<0.01) and increased the SOD content (P<0.01) in the granulosa cells, down-regulated the expression of p53 (P<0.05), and up-regulated the expression of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the ovarian tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionXJCTD may protect the ovarian function in the rat model of POI by regulating the p53/Nrf2 signaling pathway to attenuate the ferroptosis of ovarian granulosa cells.

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a culture method for micropapillary lung adenocarcinoma organoids and conduct targeted drug screening.Methods Organoids were extracted and cultured from a surgical tissue sample of a patient diagnosed with micropapillary lung adenocarcinoma,and the growth of lung cancer organoids was observed and recorded dynamically.The morphological and gene expression characteristics of tumor cells between lung cancer organoids and parental tissue were compared using hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining and immunohistochemical methods.Real time fluorescence quantitative polynucleotide chain reaction(qRT-PCR)method was used to detect gene mutations in lung cancer parental tissue and organoids.Finally,based on results of genetic testing,targeted drugs were selected and their therapeutic effects were verified.Results We have successfully cultured spherical organoids from micropapillary lung adenocarcinoma tissue,which can be passaged for at least 3 generations.HE staining results showed that the morphology of tumor cells in organoids was roughly consistent with that of parental tissue.The immunohistochemical results showed that the protein expression levels of various genes in lung cancer organoids and parental tissue were roughly the same.Results of gene mutation analysis showed that the mutated genes in lung cancer parental tissue and organoids were consistent,both reflecting RET fusion.The screening results of targeted drugs based on lung cancer organoids showed that vandertinib had the best anti-tumor effect in vitro.Conclusion Drug screening experiments based on micropapillary lung adenocarcinoma organoids can screen highly efficient targeted drugs in a short period of time,which may benefit patients with micropapillary lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:The implant osseointegration rate of patients with diabetes is low,and the failure rate is high,which seriously affects the quality of life.It is urgent to improve the implant osseointegration of patients with diabetes by effective means to elevate the success rate.Exploring the effect of berberine on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under a high-glucose environment and its specific mechanism will provide effective theoretical support for solving the above problems. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of natural extract berberine on the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under the high-glucose microenvironment. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of SD rats were cultured by the whole bone marrow adherence method.CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of berberine on the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under the high-glucose environment and to screen out the optimal berberine concentration.The expressions of Runx2 and Osx were detected by alkaline phosphatase activity,alicarin red staining and PCR to determine the effect of berberine on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesymal stem cells under the high-glucose environment.To further explore the underlying mechanism,we introduced the AMPK-specific inhibitor Dorsomorphin and used a DCFH-DA reactive oxygen species fluorescent probe to examine reactive oxygen species levels.The p-AMPK expression was also determined by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)10 μmol/L was the optimal concentration of berberine to promote bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell proliferation.(2)Alberberine promoted alkaline phosphatase viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and mineralized nodule formation in a high-glucose microenvironment.(3)Alberberine promoted the expression of Runx2 and OSx in a high-glucose microenvironment.(4)Alberensine effectively inhibited the reactive oxygen species level of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in a high-glucose environment.(5)The effects of berberine on promoting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis and inhibition of reactive oxygen species were reversed by the AMPK inhibitor.(6)Berberine activated AMPK and promoted p-AMPK expression.(7)The above results indicate that berberine(10 μmol/L)promotes the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in a high-glucose environment by activating AMPK and reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species levels.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:There is controversy regarding the need for marrow reaming in intertrochanteric fractures of the femur.Some believe that unreaming shortens operative time,reduces bleeding,and decreases intraoperative risk in elderly patients,but there is no basis for whether this move reduces the effectiveness of intramedullary nail support.Others believe that reaming allows for the selection of thicker diameter intramedullary nails for better mechanical support,but basic studies have shown that this approach carries risks such as fat embolism and destruction of bone(especially in elderly patients with osteoporosis). OBJECTIVE:To analyze the mechanical distribution characteristics of reamed and unreamed proximal femoral nail antirotation-Ⅱ in the treatment of type 31-A3 intertrochanteric fractures by finite element analysis. METHODS:A healthy volunteer was included,and CT scans of his femur were obtained in DICOM format,and the files were sequentially imported into Mimics,Geomagic Wrap,SolidWorks,Hypermesh,and Ansys software for processing.The A3.1,A3.2,and A3.3 intertrochanteric fracture models were obtained and assembled with 9 mm,11 mm diameter,and 170 mm length intramedullary nails,respectively,followed by assigning material properties,setting the interaction relationship of each contact surface and defining the load and boundary conditions,and then solved.The femoral stress distribution,internal fixation stress distribution,femoral displacement,and internal fixation displacement were observed in different models. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The femoral stress was less than that of unreamed intramedullary nail fixation for each type of fracture,and the maximum stress value of the femur for A3.3 fracture was greater than that of A3.1 and A3.2.(2)The internal fixation stress was greater than that of unreamed intramedullary nail fixation for each type of fracture,and the maximum stress value of internal fixation for A3.3 fracture was greater than that of A3.1.(3)Reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing has less effect on femoral and internal fixation displacement and more effect on stress.(4)It is indicated that the use of reamed intramedullary nail fixation results in a reduction in femoral stress,an increase in the stress borne by the internal fixation as a whole,and a reduction in the stress borne by the distal locking nail.The use of reamed intramedullary nail fixation may provide better treatment results compared to unreamed intramedullary nail fixation.

ABSTRACT

An elderly female melanoma patient who experienced severe liver injury after treatment with pembrolizumab and axitinib,which improved with glucocorticoid therapy.Through medication analysis and adverse reaction scale evaluated,it was considered that severe liver injury was more closely related to the immune checkpoint inhibitor,pembrolizumab.After a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between liver injury and immunotherapy,as well as the benefits and risks of immunotherapy for patients,immunotherapy was rechallenged 40 days after discontinuation of pembrolizumab.Restarting treatment with pembrolizumab after immune-mediated hepatitis poses a risk of recurrence of hepatotoxicity.After reviewing related literature,it had been found that the incidence of severe hepatotoxicity caused by rechallenging treatment was low,and the overall safety was controllable.Pembrolizumab had brought therapeutic benefits to patients,with no further immune-mediated liver injury of 5 cycles medication.This case can provide a reference for rechallenging immunotherapy after immune-mediated hepatitis.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective: To explore the balance of peripheral blood T helper 17 cells/regulatory T cell (Th17/Treg) ratio and the polarization ratio of M1 and M2 macrophages in lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO). Methods: A rat model of lower extremity ASO was established, and blood samples from patients with lower extremity ASO before and after surgery were obtained. ELISA was used to detect interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-10, and IL-17. Real-time RCR and Western blot analyses were used to detect Foxp3, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17 expression. Moreover, flow cytometry was applied to detect the Th17/Treg ratio and M1/M2 ratio. Results: Compared with the control group, the iliac artery wall of ASO rats showed significant hyperplasia, and the concentrations of cholesterol and triglyceride were significantly increased (P<0.01), indicating the successful establishment of ASO. Moreover, the levels of IL-6 and IL-17 in ASO rats were pronouncedly increased (P<0.05), while the IL-10 level was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In addition to increased IL-6 and IL-17 levels, the mRNA and protein levels of Foxp3 and IL-10 in ASO rats were significantly decreased compared with the control group. The Th17/Treg and M1/M2 ratios in the ASO group were markedly increased (P<0.05). These alternations were also observed in ASO patients. After endovascular surgery (such as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and arterial stenting), all these changes were significantly improved (P<0.05). Conclusions: The Th17/Treg and M1/M2 ratios were significantly increased in ASO, and surgery can effectively improve the balance of Th17/Treg, and reduce the ratio of M1/M2, and the expression of inflammatory factors.

ABSTRACT

In the implementation of exemption from ethical review, medical institutions equate exemption from ethical review with no ethical review or simple review, misunderstand the scope of exemption from ethical review, confuse the concepts of de-identification and anonymization, and equate privacy with personal information. The implementation faced challenges such as the coordination of conditions for exempt review with other regulations, the lack of clear decision-making subjects for exempting from ethical review, the legality and compliance of using general informed consent for biological samples and information data, as well as non-traceability and the risk of being re-identified of anonymous information for exemption from ethical review. Measures such as improving relevant laws and regulations, perfecting the construction and management of information databases and biological sample libraries, strengthening the project management and process supervision of exemption from ethical review, and implementing scientific review can ensure the legal and compliant implementation of exemption from ethical review by medical and health institutions.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the correlation between the incidence of foodborne diseases and meteorological factors in Jinan, and to provide targeted measures for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases. Methods Data from the reporting systems of two sentinel hospitals for active surveillance of foodborne diseases from 2013 to 2021 in Jinan were collected. The meteorological data in the same period in Jinan were also collected. The generalized additive model was used to explore the nonlinear relationship between meteorological factors and the incidence of foodborne diseases, and threshold function analysis was use to perform subsection regression. Results The incidence of foodborne diseases was positively correlated with daily average temperature (rs=0.23), relative humidity (rs=0.05), and daily average wind speed (rs=0.01), and negatively correlated with daily average air pressure (rs=-0.19). Based on the GAM results and segmented regression analysis of meteorological factors, it was found that when the daily average temperature was below or above the threshold of 24.63°C, for every 1°C increase in daily average temperature, the incidence of foodborne diseases correspondingly increased by 0.04% and 0.18%. When the daily average wind speed was above the threshold of 2.26 m/s, the incidence of foodborne diseases decreased by 0.36% for every 1 m/s increase in the daily average wind speed. Conclusion Nine years of observation and data analysis have shown that meteorological factors such as daily average temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, and wind speed are related to the incidence of foodborne diseases. These findings suggest that meteorological factors may be important factors leading to foodborne diseases, which provides an important scientific basis for formulating effective prevention and control measures.

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the mechanism of ligu aged 2 months of the same strain were used as the constilide (LIG) in delaying the senescence of auditory trol (Ctrl) group. Auditory brainstem response test was cortex and treating central presbycusis. Methods used to detect the auditory threshold of mice before and Forty C57BL/6J mice aged 13 months were randomly di after treatment. Levels of serum MDA and activity of vided into ligustilide low-dose(L-LIG) group, ligustil serum SOD were detected to display the level of oxidative ide medium-dose (M-LIG) group, ligustilide high-dose stress. The pathological changes of auditory cortex were (H-LIG) group and aging (Age) group, and 10 mice observed by HE staining. Ferroptosis was observed by

ABSTRACT

AIM: To investigate the effect of gastrodin on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the striatum of cerebral ischemia rats, and to explore the potential mechanism of gastrodin in treating cerebral ischemia. METHODS: The rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal, sham, model, and gastrodin groups, each consisting of 10 rats. After successful modeling using middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), the gastrodin group received intraperitoneal injection of gastrodin injection at a dose of 10 mg/kg once a day for 14 consecutive days. Pathological changes in striatal neurons were observed using Nissl staining. Immunohistochemistry was utilized to detect positive expression of BDNF and IL-6 proteins in the striatum. Additionally, immunoblot analysis was performed to determine the expression levels of BDNF and IL-6 proteins in the striatum. RESULTS: Nissl staining revealed clear and intact structures of striatal neurons in the normal and sham groups, with tightly arranged cells. In the model group, the number of cells was significantly reduced compared to the sham group (P0.05). Compared to the sham group, the model group showed a decrease in the protein expression level of BDNF in the striatum on the ischemic side (P<0.01) and an increase in the protein expression level of IL-6 (P<0.05, P<0.01). In contrast, the gastrodin group showed an increase in the protein expression level of BDNF in the striatum on the ischemic side (P<0.05, P<0.01) and a decrease in the protein expression level of IL-6 (P< 0.05, P<0.01) compared to the model group. CONCLUSION: Gastrodin has a significant protective effect on striatal injury caused by cerebral ischemia, and its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of the anti-inflammatory factor BDNF and the down-regulation of the pro-inflammatory factor IL-6.
