ABSTRACT
Macrolide and corticosteroid resistance has been reported in patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) pneumonia (MPP). MP clearance is difficult to achieve through antibiotic treatment in sensitive patients with severe MPP (SMPP). SMPP in children might progress to airway remodeling and even bronchiolitis/bronchitis obliterans. Therefore, identifying serum biomarkers that indicate MPP progression and exploring new targeted drugs for SMPP treatment require urgency. In this study, serum samples were collected from patients with general MPP (GMPP) and SMPP to conduct proteomics profiling. The Fc fragment of the IgG-binding protein (FCGBP) was identified as the most promising indicator of SMPP. Biological enrichment analysis indicated uncontrolled inflammation in SMPP. ELISA results proved that the FCGBP level in patients with SMPP was substantially higher than that in patients with GMPP. Furthermore, the FCGBP levels showed a decreasing trend in patients with GMPP but the opposite trend in patients with SMPP during disease progression. Connectivity map analyses identified 25 possible targeted drugs for SMPP treatment. Among them, a mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (mTOR) inhibitor, which is a macrolide compound and a cell proliferation inhibitor, was the most promising candidate for targeting SMPP. To our knowledge, this study was the first proteomics-based characterization of patients with SMPP and GMPP.

Objective:To investigate the significance of clinical factors combined with transvaginal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in guiding the choice of treatment plan for cesarean scar pregnancy(CSP).Methods:The clinical and transvaginal ultrasound and CEUS data of 120 patients with CSP from January 2016 to June 2021 in the First People′s Hospital of Foshan were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into ultrasound-guided curettage/ hysteroscopic group (Group A, 91 cases) and laparoscopic group (Group B, 29 cases) according to treatment option, and the differences in clinical and ultrasound factors between the two groups were compared, and to determine the relevant clinical and ultrasound indicators for the choice of treatment option.Results:There were statistical differences between the 2 groups in comparison of whether the gestational sac/mass protruded toward the plasma membrane, gestational sac/mass diameter, the main blood supply site of the gestational sac/mass, the site of the chorion/early placenta and scar thickness (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that CEUS showing major blood supply site of the gestational sac/mass ( OR=6.029, P=0.003) and uterine scar thickness ( OR=12.998, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for minimally invasive surgery for CSP. Conclusions:Ultrasound combined with clinical factors have a certain value in the selection of treatment options for CPS, and the thickness of the uterine scar and the main blood supply site of the gestational sac/mass showed in CEUS may be key factors affecting the minimally invasive surgical treatment of CSP.
ABSTRACT
@#In this paper, the uncertainties of correction factors of fluconazole impurities determined by HPLC standard curve method were evaluated, and the main common factors affecting the accuracy of standard curve method were found, so as to improve the accuracy of the method.In this study, the corresponding fitting lines of fluconazole and its impurities A, B, C, D, F and I were established respectively, and the ratio of the slope of fitting lines of each impurity and its corresponding principal component was calculated as the correction factor of the impurity.Then on the basis of GUM method, the uncertainty of each impurity correction factor determined by standard curve method was evaluated according to the established uncertainty evaluation scheme of correction factor determination process.The correction factor and uncertainty of fluconazole impurities A, B, C, D, F and I were 1.068 ± 0.046, 0.102 ± 0.005, 0.0582 ± 0.0031, 1.382 ± 0.121, 0.802 ± 0.067 and 1.383 ± 0.119, respectively, and the coverage factor k was 2.Finally, the contribution rate of each uncertainty component was calculated.In the relative combined standard uncertainties urel(f) of fluconazole impurities A, B, C, D, F and I correction factors, the sum of contribution rate of slope uncertainty urel(K) of the linear equation of principal component and its impurity is more than 85%; in the slope uncertainties urel(K) of linear equation, the contribution rates of uncertainties of solution concentration in 8 of 12 data groups are more than 80%, and the contribution rates of uncertainties introduced by reference substance content in solution concentration are about 80%.It can be seen that the preparation of linear solution concentration is the most influential factor in the determination of impurity correction factor by standard curve method, followed by the linear fitting process.In the preparation process of linear solution concentration, the purity of reference substance is the most influential factor, followed by weighing and pipetting times.The conclusion can help the experimenters to better formulate experimental plans and ensure the accuracy of the results when doing similar work.
ABSTRACT
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) signaling promotes lipogenesis. However, mTOR inhibitors also displayed a significant side effect of hyperlipidemia. Thus, it is essential to develop mTOR-specific inhibitors to inhibit lipogenesis. Here, we screened the endogenous inhibitors of mTOR, and identified that FKBP38 as a vital regulator of lipid metabolism. FKBP38 decreased the lipid content
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#The pathogenesis of osteosarcoma (OS) is still unclear, and it is still necessary to find new targets and drugs for anti-OS. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of the anti-OS effects of miR-296-5p.@*METHODS@#We measured the expression of miR-296-5p in human OS cell lines and tissues. The effect of miR-296-5p and its target gene staphylococcal nuclease and tudor domain containing 1 on proliferation, migration, and invasion of human OS lines was examined. The Student's t test was used for statistical analysis.@*RESULTS@#We found that microRNA (miR)-296-5p was significantly downregulated in OS cell lines and tissues (control vs. OS, 1.802 ± 0.313 vs. 0.618 ± 0.235, t = 6.402, P < 0.01). Overexpression of miR-296-5p suppressed proliferation, migration, and invasion of OA cells. SND1 was identified as a target of miR-296-5p by bioinformatic analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Overexpression of SND1 abrogated the effects induced by miR-296-5p upregulation (miRNA-296-5p vs. miRNA-296-5p + SND1, 0.294 ± 0.159 vs. 2.300 ± 0.277, t = 12.68, P = 0.003).@*CONCLUSION@#Our study indicates that miR-296-5p may function as a tumor suppressor by targeting SND1 in OS.

@#To improve the standard of quality control of tazobactam and its preparations in China, national reference standard of tazobactam impurity A was developed. After tazobactam impurity A was synthesized, its structure was validated by infrared (IR), mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and its content uniformity and short-term stability were measured and investigated. Then, water content and residue on ignition of impurity A were determined, and its purity was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution-acetonitrile (98∶2) as the mobile phase. Mass balance method was used to determine the content of the first batch of tazobactam impurity A national standard substance. Meanwhile, nuclear magnetic quantitative method was used to calculate the content, which was mutually verified with the mass balance method. The developed reference material of tazobactam impurity A is consistent with the maximum degradation impurity in tazobactam system applicability solution and the reference material of tazobactam related substance A contained in USP41. Within the 95% confidence range, the ratio of inter- and intra-bottle variance of impurity A after separation was 0.61 (< F0.05(11,12)), proving that the uniformity was satisfying. The contents of organic impurity, water content and inorganic impurity in impurity A were 0.90%, 1.24% and 0.25%, respectively. The content of impurity A was determined to be 97.6% by mass balance method, which was basically consistent with the result of nuclear magnetic quantitative method (97.1%). Under the condition of 25 °C, the area normalized purity of impurity A was 99.1% at 0, 3, 5 and 10 days, proving that the sample was stable at room temperature for 10 days. Finally the first batch of national standard substance of tazobactam impurity A was established successfully.

ABSTRACT
Congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) is a group of clinical and genetic heterogeneous diseases caused by impaired neuromuscular transmission due to genetic defects. At present, it has been reported that more than 30 genes can cause CMS. All CMS subtypes have the clinical features of fatigue and muscle weakness, but age of onset, symptoms, and treatment response vary with the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic defects. Pharmacotherapy and symptomatic/supportive treatment are the main methods for the treatment of CMS, and antisense oligonucleotide technology has been proven to be beneficial for CHRNA 1-related CMS in animals. Since CMS is a group of increasingly recognized clinical and genetic heterogeneous diseases, an understanding of the latest knowledge and research advances in its clinical features, genetic research, and treatment helps to give early diagnosis and treatment as well as gain a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of CMS, so as to make new breakthroughs in the treatment of CMS.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of glycyrrhizic acid (GA) from tumor necrosis factor-α+actinomycetes ketone (TNF-α+CHX) induced apoptosis in rat small intestine crypt epithelial cell line (IEC-6) via AU rich element mRNA binding protein HuR mediated posttranscription of p21 and the potential mechanism. Method:The cultured IEC-6 cells were observed. The experiment was divided into blank group, GA (60 μmol·L-1) group, TNF-α+CHX group and GA+TNF-α+CHX group. Cytoplasmic and nuclear HuR were measured by Western blot. The interaction of HuR and p21 mRNA was detected by biotin pull down and RNA IP. Luciferase activity was measured after transfection with construct with p21 3'-UTR cloned into downstream of luciferase reporter. Cell apoptosis was detected by real-time dynamic cell analyzer, p21 and cysteine proteinas-3 precursor protein(proCaspase-3) association was analysised by CO-IP. Result:After GA treatment for 48 h, cytoplasmic HuR protein expression increased(P<0.05),the binding between HuR and p21 mRNA expression up regulated(P<0.05), luciferase activity increased(P<0.01), and p21 mRNA and protein expression also increased(P<0.05), while these results were abolished by HuR silencing with siRNA. GA enhanced p21 and procaspase3 interaction(P<0.05), and attenuated TNF-α+CHX induced apoptosis in IEC-6 cells. Conclusion:GA protected IEC-6 cells from TNF-α/CHX induced apoptosis via HuR mediated p21 posttranscription, which due to GA enhanced HuR binding to endogenous and recombinant p21 mRNA and increased p21 interaction with proCaspase3.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the significance of empathy and executive function indexes in the diagnosis and classification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:According to DSM-Ⅴ diagnostic criteria, 33 children with ASD, 30 children with ADHD and 39 typical development (TD) children and adolescents were enrolled as the research subjects.The empathy and executive function characteristics were compared and analyzed in the subjects.Based on empathy and executive function indicators, the three groups of subjects were diagnosed and classified by machine learning method.Results:The total score of Griffith empathy measure parent ratings(GEM-PR)(ASD: (0.67±0.64), ADHD: (1.00±0.79), TD: (0.98±0.73)) and each factor score ( F=3.595-10.363, all P<0.05) and the total score of behavior rating inventory of executive function(BRIEF)(ASD: (62.79±7.45), ADHD: (59.47±8.77), TD: (49.08±7.91)) and each factor score of the three groups were different ( F=6.557-33.205, all P<0.01). Among them, the scores of empathy and executive function in ASD and ADHD groups were generally higher than those in TD children (all P<0.05). When combined with BRIEF scale and GEM scale, the classification accuracy of the three groups reached 62.75%. Conclusion:Both ASD and ADHD children have damages in empathy and executive function.Combining empathy and executive function indexes are more helpful for diagnosis and classification than single index.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the utility of the BRAFV600E mutation detection in different cytoloy categories and to determine if the VE1 antibody can serve as a screening tool for the detection of BRAFV600E mutation in thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimens.@*Methods@#A total of 273 FNA residual specimens were collected. BRAFV600E testing was performed on these liquid-based specimens. And also 78 specimens with enough residual cells were stained with VE1 antibody. Comparisons of molecular and immunocytochemistry results with clinicopathological outcomes were performed. SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze the data.@*Results@#There were 70 indeterminated diagnoses in 273 cases with FNAs. Fifty-eight cases were proven to be papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) by histology, including 9 cases of atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS), 3 cases of follicular neoplasm/suspicious for follicular neoplasm (FN/SFN), and 46 cases of suspicious for malignancy (SM). BRAFV600E analysis detected PTC in 3 of 9 cases with AUS/FLUS, and in 31 (67.4%) of 46 cases with SM. The sensitivity of immunostaining with VE1 antibody was 62.8%(27/43) and the specificity was 91.4% (32/35). VE1 expression showed moderately concordance with the molecular mutation (κ=0.524, P<0.001).@*Conclusions@#Additional BRAFV600E detecting can improve the diagnostic efficacy for PTC in AUS/FLUS and SM. VE1 expression may be an alternative method for BRAFV600E detecting when molecular detecting is unavailable.

Patient was a middle-aged woman without underlying disease, she was admitted to hospital because of fever, cough, chest tightness and shortness of breath, during the treatment period, type II respiratory failure occurred repeatedly, and it was difficult in withdrawing respirator, patient was finally diagnosed with SIM. After anti-infective treatment and rehabilitation training, she was successfully withdrawn respirator, muscle strength was recovered. This case suggests that SIM can be completely cured through early identification, neuromuscular nutrition therapy, graded rehabilitation training and lung rehabilitation therapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare and analyze the short-term effect of play-based communication and behavior intervention (PCBI) and applied behavioral analysis (ABA) on the treatment of toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Methods Seventy-four ASD toddlers aged from 19 to 30 months were recruited in Nanjing Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from November 2017 to May 2018.The toddlers who participated in this study were randomly assigned into PCBI group and ABA group,then they were intervened weekly by PCBI or ABA for a total of 12 weeks.Portage Early Development Checklist and autism treatment evaluation checklist (ATEC) were used to estimate the toddlers' developmental level and the treatment efficacy respectively.The t-test was used to reveal whether there was significant difference between the 2 groups before and after intervention.Results (1) Compared with the ABA group,there was a significant increase in cognitive scores (△PCBI =9.03 scores,△ABA =4.27 scores,t =3.997) and a significant decrease in social behavior scores (△PCBI =8.87 scores,△ABA =16.91 scores,t =-4.022) of the Portage Early Development Checklist after 12 weeks of intervention in the PCBI group,and there were statistically significant differences(all P < 0.001);while the total score and the scores of language,movement,and self-care subscale of Portage Early Development Checklist were also increased after PCBI intervention but without significant differences (all P > 0.05).(2)Compared with the ABA group,after 12 weeks of PC BI intervention,the scores of social contact,perception,behavior of ATEC were decreased,but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05);the total score of ATEC scale(△PCBI total =14.89 scores,△ABA total =22.22 scores,t =2.209)and the scores of language subscale(△PCBI language =2.89 scores,△ ABA language =6.43 scores,t =2.515) were decreased significantly,and there were statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05).Conclusions After 12 weeks of the very early intervention of PCBI,the ASD toddlers all improved in clinical symptoms and developmental level.Compared with ABA intervention,PCBI very early intervention with parental guidance was comparable in short term efficacy,and PCBI was not taking up as much medical rehabilitation resources as ABA.
