Correlation analysis for the lateral condylar tibial plateau fracture and complete medial collateral ligament rupture / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the CT images of a lateral condylar tibial plateau fractures and complete medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury.Methods:Data of 59 patients with lateral condylar fracture of tibial plateau complicated with MCL injury admitted to Tianjin Hospital from January 2020 to November 2021 were collected, including 32 males and 27 females, aged 42.4±12.3 years (range, 19-65 years), there were 26 cases of extension injury and 33 cases of flexion injury. The patients were separated into two groups: those with partial MCL injury and those with total rupture based on preoperative MR examination and intraoperative valgus stress test following fracture fixation. According to the ABC fracture classification of lateral condyle tibial plateau proposed by Sun et al., the fracture locations were determined on CT images, and the lateral plateau collapse depth (LPD) was measured. The relationship between LPD and MCL complete rupture was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:Among 59 patients with lateral condylar tibial plateau fracture and MCL injury, 42 had partial injuries and 17 had complete ruptures. According to the ABC fracture classification, there were 26 cases of extension injury (involving area A), 21 cases of AB type, and 5 cases of ABC type; and 33 cases of flexion type injury, 19 cases of B type, 12 cases of BC type, and 2 cases of C type. All the 17 cases of MCL complete fracture occurred in extension injury, including type AB (14 cases) and type ABC (3 cases). The difference between the mean LPDs of the MCL full rupture group and the partial injury group was not statistically significant ( t=0.11, P=0.567), and the mean LPDs of both groups were 11.7±5.3 mm (range, 4.3-28.1 mm) and 11.5±4.8 mm (range, 3.8-23.6 mm), respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve analysis was 0.504, and there was no statistical correlation between lateral platform collapse depth and MCL injury. Among the 26 patients with extensional injury area, MCL was completely ruptures in 17 cases and partially injury in 9 cases, LPD was 11.7±5.3 mm (range, 4.3-28.1 mm) and 6.6±1.8 mm (range, 3.8-9.4 mm), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.57, P=0.009). The best predictive cut-off value of LPD was 7.25 mm, the sensitivity was 88.2%, the specificity was 77.8%, and the AUC was 0.868. Conclusion:When the lateral condyle fracture of the tibial plateau is located in the extensional injury area (involving the A area in the ABC fracture classification) and the LPD measured on the CT image is greater than 7.25 mm, the complete rupture of the MCL should be considered. Clinical MCL repair is required after the fracture fixation surgery for improved surgical outcomes.

Quantitative grading evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of asymmetric bilateral lateral rectus recession in type Ⅲ Duane retraction syndrome / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM: To quantitatively evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the asymmetric recession of bilateral lateral rectus in patients with unilateral type III Duane retraction syndrome.METHOD:Retrospective analysis of clinical data. The clinical data of 12 cases of type III Duane retraction syndrome with unilateral lateral rectus recession were analyzed. All subjects had restricted internal rotation, with narrowing of the palpebral fissure and vertical deviation, and restricted external rotation with widening of the palpebral fissure. All patients had abnormal head positions. The degree of strabismus was measured while maintaining the head in a neutral position. Asymmetric recession of bilateral lateral rectus was selected based on the degree of strabismus of affected eye or 1～3mm longer, with a smaller recession and Y-splitting in the affected eye and a larger recession in the healthy eye.RESULT:The difference in the degree of strabismus in the healthy eyes before and after surgery was statistically significant(Z=-4.158, P&#x003C;0.01), as was the difference in the degree of restricted internal rotation(Z=-2.640, P=0.008). The difference in the degree of restricted external rotation was not statistically significant(Z=-1.732, P=0.083). The difference in abnormal head position was statistically significant(Z=-4.181, P&#x003C;0.01), while the difference in eyeball recession was not statistically significant(Z=-1.414, P=0.157). The difference in vertical deviation was statistically significant(Z=-3.115, P=0.002). A total of 10 patients(83%)had stereoscopic vision before surgery, and 11 patients(92%)had recovered stereoscopic vision after surgery, with a further improvement in stereoacuity in 50% of patients.CONCLUSION:Asymmetric recession of bilateral lateral rectus combined with Y-splitting of the affected lateral rectus can effectively improve the degree of strabismus, abnormal head position, vertical deviation and stereoacuity without aggravating the degree of restriction of external rotation or eyeball recession.

Cognition of Colorectal Cancer-related Knowledge and Influencing Factors of Patients with Middle- and Advanced-stage Colorectal Cancer in Inner Mongolia / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To investigate the cognition of colorectal cancer-related knowledge and influencing factors of patients with middle- and advanced-stage colorectal cancer in ethnic minority areas of Inner Mongolia. Methods According to the national population and the prevalence of colorectal cancer, 277 patients with colorectal cancer were selected by stratified and random sampling in Inner Mongolia. The patients were surveyed in Baotou, Chifeng, Bayannaoer, and other hospitals. The questionnaire included patients' basic information, cognition of colorectal cancer risk factors and screening knowledge, screening information, etc. Results Before suffering from the disease, the patients' knowledge of colorectal cancer (risk factors, early screening knowledge, treatment methods) was low. About 54.9% of patients were unaware of high risk factors for colorectal cancer, 75.8% of patients did not understand the knowledge of early screening of colorectal cancer, and 37.5% of patients did not underst and the treatment of colorectal cancer. The main influencing factors of colorectal cancer cognition were education level and occupation. Patients who work in institutions and enterprises and with higher education level had better cognition. Conclusion Patients with middle- and advanced-stage colorectal cancer in Inner Mongolia have poor knowledge and awareness of risk factors and screening of colorectal cancer before diagnosis. Education level and occupation are factors influencing colorectal cancer cognition, therefore, people with low knowledge rate of colorectal cancer and low education level as well as unemployed laid-off people should be given priority intervention.

Reverse effect of Semaphorin-3F on rituximab resistance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma via the Hippo pathway / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Exploring the underlying mechanism of rituximab resistance is critical to improve the outcomes of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Here, we tried to identify the effects of the axon guidance factor semaphorin-3F (SEMA3F) on rituximab resistance as well as its therapeutic value in DLBCL.@*METHODS@#The effects of SEMA3F on the treatment response to rituximab were investigated by gain- or loss-of-function experiments. The role of the Hippo pathway in SEMA3F-mediated activity was explored. A xenograft mouse model generated by SEMA3F knockdown in cells was used to evaluate rituximab sensitivity and combined therapeutic effects. The prognostic value of SEMA3F and TAZ (WW domain-containing transcription regulator protein 1) was examined in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and human DLBCL specimens.@*RESULTS@#We found that loss of SEMA3F was related to a poor prognosis in patients who received rituximab-based immunochemotherapy instead of chemotherapy regimen. Knockdown of SEMA3F significantly repressed the expression of CD20 and reduced the proapoptotic activity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activity induced by rituximab. We further demonstrated that the Hippo pathway was involved in the SEMA3F-mediated regulation of CD20. Knockdown of SEMA3F expression induced the nuclear accumulation of TAZ and inhibited CD20 transcriptional levels via direct binding of the transcription factor TEAD2 and the CD20 promoter. Moreover, in patients with DLBCL, SEMA3F expression was negatively correlated with TAZ, and patients with SEMA3F low TAZ high had a limited benefit from a rituximab-based strategy. Specifically, treatment of DLBCL cells with rituximab and a YAP/TAZ inhibitor showed promising therapeutic effects in vitro and in vivo .@*CONCLUSION@#Our study thus defined a previously unknown mechanism of SEMA3F-mediated rituximab resistance through TAZ activation in DLBCL and identified potential therapeutic targets in patients.

Objective To investigate the HPV vaccination status of children aged 9-14 years, parents’ vaccine-related cognition, willingness to vaccinate children and their influencing factors. Methods From January to April 2021, the convenience sampling method was used to collect data based on the online platform and the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Gynecology of the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, and logistic regression. Results A total of 864 questionnaires were collected, and 846 valid questionnaires were obtained after screening, with an effective rate of 97.9%. 13.57% of mothers and 3.09% of girls were vaccinated, and the vaccine awareness rate was 68.43%. 87.22% of parents were willing to bring their children for vaccination. Risk perception (OR=4.79, 95% CI: 2.22-10.35), willingness to vaccinate themselves (OR =29.01, 95% CI: 12.62-66.69), awareness of sex education (OR =3.73, 95% CI: 1.08-12.83) and whether the vaccines were free (P<0.001) were related to whether parents were willing to vaccinate their children. Conclusion Parents of children aged 9-14 have high awareness of HPV and HPV vaccine and are willing to vaccinate their children with HPV vaccine , but the vaccination rate in children is low. Disease perception, willingness to vaccinate, awareness of sex education, and whether vaccines are free are all the factors influencing parents' willingness to vaccinate children.

Evaluation of thermal environment and human thermal comfort in 8 types of public places from 2019 to 2021 / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

Objective: To evaluate the thermal environment of different types of public places and the thermal comfort of employees, so as to provide scientific basis for the establishment of microclimate standards and health supervision requirements. Methods: From June 2019 to December 2021, 50 public places (178 times) of 8 categories in Wuxi were selected, including hotels, swimming pools (gymnasiums), bathing places, shopping malls (supermarkets), barber shops, beauty shops, waiting rooms (bus station) and gyms. In summer and winter, microclimate indicators such as temperature and wind speed were measured in all kinds of places, combined with the work attire and physical activity of employees in the places. Fanger thermal comfort equation and center for the built environment (CBE) thermal comfort calculation tool were used to evaluate the predicted mean vote (PMV), predicted percent dissatisfied (PPD) and standard effective temperature (SET) according to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 55-2020. The modification effects of seasonal and temperature control conditions on thermal comfort were analyzed. The consistency of GB 37488-2019 "Hygienic Indicators and Limits in Public Places" and ASHRAE 55-2020 evaluation results on thermal environment was compared. Results: The thermal sensation of hotel, barber shop staff and the gym front-desk staff were moderate, while the thermal sensation of swimming place lifeguard, bathing place cleaning staff and gym trainer were slightly warm in summer and winter. Waiting room (bus station) cleaning and working staff, shopping mall staff felt slightly warm in summer and moderate in winter. Service staff in bathing places felt slightly warm in winter, while staff in beauty salons felt slightly cool in winter. The thermal comfort compliance of hotel cleaning staff and shopping mall staff in summer was lower than that in winter (χ(2)=7.01, 7.22, P=0.008, 0.007). The thermal comfort compliance of shopping mall staff in the condition of air conditioning off was higher than that in the condition of air conditioning on (χ(2)=7.01, P=0.008). The SET values of front-desk staff in hotels with different health supervision levels were significantly different (F=3.30, P=0.024). The PPD value and SET value of the front-desk staff, and the PPD value of cleaning staff of hotels above three stars were lower than those of hotels below three stars (P<0.05). The thermal comfort compliance of front-desk staff and cleaning staff in hotels above three stars was higher than that in hotels below three stars (χ(2)=8.33, 8.09, P=0.016, 0.018). The consistency of the two criteria was highest among waiting room (bus station) staff (100.0%, 1/1) and lowest among gym front-desk staff (0%, 0/2) and waiting room (bus station) cleaning staff (0%, 0/1) . Conclusion: There are different degrees of thermal discomfort in different seasons, under the condition of air conditioning and health supervision, and the microclimate indicators can not fully reflect the thermal comfort of human body. The health supervision of microclimate should be strengthened, the applicability of health standard limit value should be evaluated in many aspects, and the thermal comfort of occupational group should be improved.

Advances in epigenetic regulation of Chinese hamster ovary cells / 生物工程学报

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells play an irreplaceable role in biopharmaceuticals because the cells can be adapted to grow in suspension cultures and are capable of producing high quality biologics exhibiting human-like post-translational modifications. However, gene expression regulation such as transgene silencing and epigenetic modifications may reduce the recombinant protein production due to the decrease of expression stability of CHO cells. This paper summarized the role of epigenetic modifications in CHO cells, including DNA methylation, histone modification and miRNA, as well as their effects on gene expression regulation.

Connexin 43-modified bone marrow stromal cells reverse the imatinib resistance of K562 cells via Ca 2+ -dependent gap junction intercellular communication / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Imatinib mesylate (IM) resistance is an emerging problem for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Previous studies found that connexin 43 (Cx43) deficiency in the hematopoietic microenvironment (HM) protects minimal residual disease (MRD), but the mechanism remains unknown.@*METHODS@#Immunohistochemistry assays were employed to compare the expression of Cx43 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in bone marrow (BM) biopsies of CML patients and healthy donors. A coculture system of K562 cells and several Cx43-modified bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) was established under IM treatment. Proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and other indicators of K562 cells in different groups were detected to investigate the function and possible mechanism of Cx43. We assessed the Ca 2+ -related pathway by Western blotting. Tumor-bearing models were also established to validate the causal role of Cx43 in reversing IM resistance.@*RESULTS@#Low levels of Cx43 in BMs were observed in CML patients, and Cx43 expression was negatively correlated with HIF-1α. We also observed that K562 cells cocultured with BMSCs transfected with adenovirus-short hairpin RNA of Cx43 (BMSCs-shCx43) had a lower apoptosis rate and that their cell cycle was blocked in G0/G1 phase, while the result was the opposite in the Cx43-overexpression setting. Cx43 mediates gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) through direct contact, and Ca 2+ is the key factor mediating the downstream apoptotic pathway. In animal experiments, mice bearing K562, and BMSCs-Cx43 had the smallest tumor volume and spleen, which was consistent with the in vitro experiments.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Cx43 deficiency exists in CML patients, promoting the generation of MRD and inducing drug resistance. Enhancing Cx43 expression and GJIC function in the HM may be a novel strategy to reverse drug resistance and promote IM efficacy.

Adjuvant chemotherapy versus adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy after radical surgery for early-stage cervical cancer: a randomized, non-inferiority, multicenter trial / 医学前沿

We conducted a prospective study to assess the non-inferiority of adjuvant chemotherapy alone versus adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as an alternative strategy for patients with early-stage (FIGO 2009 stage IB-IIA) cervical cancer having risk factors after surgery. The condition was assessed in terms of prognosis, adverse effects, and quality of life. This randomized trial involved nine centers across China. Eligible patients were randomized to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or CCRT after surgery. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). From December 2012 to December 2014, 337 patients were subjected to randomization. Final analysis included 329 patients, including 165 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group and 164 in the adjuvant CCRT group. The median follow-up was 72.1 months. The three-year PFS rates were both 91.9%, and the five-year OS was 90.6% versus 90.0% in adjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT groups, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the PFS or OS between groups. The adjusted HR for PFS was 0.854 (95% confidence interval 0.415-1.757; P = 0.667) favoring adjuvant chemotherapy, excluding the predefined non-inferiority boundary of 1.9. The chemotherapy group showed a tendency toward good quality of life. In comparison with post-operative adjuvant CCRT, adjuvant chemotherapy treatment showed non-inferior efficacy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer having pathological risk factors. Adjuvant chemotherapy alone is a favorable alternative post-operative treatment.

Objective:To understand the pain knowledge, belief and behavior level of cancer pain patients, analyze the influencing factors.Methods:A total of 176 patients with a convenient sampling method selection on November 20, 2021 in Ningxia medical institutions that have created cancer pain in the treatment of cancer pain in Ningxia as the research object of cancer pain in medical institutions, and use the "Cancer Pain Pain Incarring Credit Council Cancer Question Question" that is designed and examined by self-examination.Results:The pain knowledge dimension score of cancer pain patients in Ningxia was 5.00 (4.00, 6.00), the belief dimension score was 3.00 (-3.00, 10.00), and the behavior dimension score was 26.00 (24.00, 28.00). The results of multiple linear regression showed that financial burden and burst pain were the factors affecting the pain belief and perception of cancer pain patients ( t=-2.96, -3.00, both P<0.05). The type of medical insurance and the duration of pain were the factors affecting the behavior of pain ( t=-2.49, 3.21, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Cancer pain patients have a low level of pain knowledge, an upper-middle level of negative pain beliefs and perceptions, and a moderate level of pain behavior. It is recommended that nursing personnel use the discharge plan service as the main line to build a full-process management model of cancer pain. During the hospitalization period, pay attention to the outbreak of pain and psychological conditions, and gradually improve the quality of health education through nursing quality evaluation. After discharge, pay attention to the practicality and long-term development of continuity health education, and promote the full management of patients with cancer pain.

Efficacy and safety of intravenous tirofiban after endovascular therapy in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous tirofiban after endovascular therapy in patients with acute intracranial large atherosclerotic stroke.Methods:Patients with acute intracranial large atherosclerotic stroke received endovascular therapy in the Stroke Center, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled. The incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in patients of tirofiban group and non-tirofiban group during perioperative period and the outcome after procedure at 90 d were analyzed.Results:A total of 172 patients were included. Their average age was 66.0 years and 126 patients were male (73.3%). Ninety-two patients (53.5%) used tirofiban, and 120 (69.8%) had good outcomes. Compared with the non-tirofiban group, the tirofiban group had a significantly higher rate of good outcome at 90 d after procedure (77.2% vs. 61.3%; P=0.023). The reocclusion rate was significantly lower (7.6% vs. 18.8%; P=0.039), while there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage during periprocedureal period (4.3% vs. 3.8%; P=0.990). There was a significant independent correlation between the use of tirofiban intravenously and the good outcome at 90 d after procedure, both in the overall patients (odds ratio 0.208, 95% confidence interval 0.064-0.680; P=0.009) and the patients with severe stroke (odds ratio 0.181, 95% confidence interval 0.050-0.658; P=0.009) were all the same. Conclusion:For patients with acute intracranial large atherosclerotic stroke who received intravascular therapy, intravenous tirofiban can significantly improve the clinical outcome at 90 d after procedure, and will not increase the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.

Conclusion In order to achieve the total elimination of cervical cancer in China by 2030 as soon as possible, people should strengthen their awareness of HPV and HPV vaccine related knowledge.

Effects of vibration on expressions of vascular endothelial inflammatory factors and IncRNA MEG3 in vitro / 环境与职业医学

Background Prolonged exposure to vibration can cause vascular endothelial injury, and inflammatory response plays an important role in vascular endothelial injury. Studies have shown that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) is involved in regulating the expression of inflammatory injury of endothelial cells. Objective To investigate the effects of vibration on the secretion of inflammatory factors and the expression of IncRNA MEG3 by vascular endothelial cells in vitro. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were divided into two categories: vibration and control. The vibration exposure included 63 Hz (6.76 m·s−2), 200 Hz (5.08 m·s−2), and 250 Hz (4.56 m·s−2) frequency bands, and 1 and 2 d exposure time with 1 to 4 h of daily vibration. The control treatment was the same as the vibration category except that they were not exposed to vibration. CCK-8 was used to detect the effects of different vibration frequencies and time on the viability of HUVEC. The expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the cells and supernatants were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression levels of IncRNA MEG3 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results Compared with the cells with the control treatment, the cell viability of the 1-day exposure group increased after 1.5 h and 3 h of vibration at 63 Hz, while decreased after 2 h and 2.5 h; the cell viability of the 2-day exposure group increased at the frequency of 63 Hz for 1.5 h, but decreased at 2 h and 2.5 h. At the frequency of 200 Hz, the cell viability of the 1-day exposure group increased at 2 h and 4 h, but decreased at 2.5 h and 3 h; the cell viability of the 2-day exposure group increased at 1.5 h and decreased at 2.5 h. For the vibration exposure at frequency of 250 Hz, the cell viability of the 1-day exposure group increased at 1.5 h and 2.5 h, but decreased at 3 h; of the 2-day exposure group, the cell viability increased at 1.5 h and decreased at 3 h. For the exposure settings of 63 and 200 Hz vibration for 2.5 h and 250 Hz vibration for 3 h, and with the control treatment as reference, the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-8, IL-4, and IL-10 in cells and supernatants were increased in the 1 d and 2 d exposures; the expression level of lncRNA MEG3 decreased in the 1 d exposure group; however, for the 2 d exposure, the expression level of lncRNA MEG3 decreased only in the 63 Hz vibration exposure. All of these results were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Vibration could induce an increase in the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-8, IL-4, and IL-10 and a decrease in the expression level of lncRNA MEG3 in vascular endothelial cells in vitro.

Association between dietary behaviors and overweight or obesity in preschool children / 环境与职业医学

Background Overweight/obesity in children are a global health issue. Preschool age is an important stage of children's growth and development and dietary behaviors, so it is crucial to explore dietary behavior characteristics and childhood overweight/obesity. Objective To explore the association between dietary behavior characteristics and overweight/obesity in preschool children in Shanghai, and the consistency of children's eating behavior characteristics with their parents'. Methods The children aged 3 to 6 years in 5 kindergartens in Shanghai in 2015 were selected by convenience sampling and surveyed. Their height and weight were measured. Children's and parents' dietary behavior characteristics were self-reported by their parents. According to the weight-for-height recommended by the World Health Organization, excess weight was calculated by the following formula: excess-weight%=[(measured weight - standard weight)/standard weight×100%]; obese is determined at excess-weight% > 20%, overweight: excess-weight% at 10%-20%, normal weight: excess-weight% at −10%-<10%. Chi-squared test and t test were used to compare the differences of demographic and dietary behavior characteristics between overweight/obese and normal weight children. Multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between dietary behaviors and overweight/obesity. The consistency of dietary behavior characteristics was tested between children and their parents. Results Among the 897 preschool children, 217 (24.2%) were overweight/obese and 680 (75.8%) were of normal weight. The birth weight [(3439±472) g vs. (3361±418) g] and proportion of monthly household income < 10000 yuan (17.1% vs. 10.7%) in the overweight/obese children were significantly higher than those in the normal weight children, and there were no statistical differences in sex, age, gestational age, time of adding complementary foods, outdoor activities after school every day, and parental BMI. After adjusting for potential confounders such as sex, age, household income, outdoor activities after school every day, and parental overweight/obesity, frequently having puffed food (OR=2.46, 95%CI: 1.20-4.95), western-style fast food (OR=3.52, 95%CI: 1.41-8.79), and carbonated drinks (OR=2.92, 95%CI: 1.37-6.13), often eating a lot (OR=1.51, 95%CI: 1.09-2.08) and having a good appetite (OR=2.60, 95%CI: 1.87-3.62), having regular meals (OR=1.48, 95%CI: 1.07-2.03), and fast eating (OR=3.37, 95%CI: 2.10-5.42) were positively associated with children's overweight/obesity (P<0.05). Children's partial/picky eating was inconsistent with fathers' behavior (P<0.05), while the other dietary behaviors were similar with both mothers' and fathers'. Conclusion Eating behavior characteristics of preschool children are associated with overweight/obesity, and affected by their parents. Early identifying dietary behavior problems and improving dietary habits of children might be an effective strategy in preventing and controlling the occurrence and development of obesity in childhood.

Effects of GS-Rg1 on secretion of exosomes and expression of angiogenesis related miRNAs in mesenchymal stem cells / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To investigate the effects of ginsenoside Rg1 (GS-Rg1) on the secretion of exosomes (MSC-Exo) and expression of angiogenesis related microRNAs (miRNAs) in mesenchymal stem cells.Methods:Human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (hUCBMSCs) were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group was treated with GS-RG1 at a final concentration of 40 mg/L, while the control group was treated with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at the same volume. Both groups were cultured for 24 h. The morphology of MSC-Exo was observed by transmission electron microscopy; the characteristic surface markers were identified by Western blot; the concentration of MSC-Exo was detected by dicootanobutyric acid protein quantification method, and the expression of 8 miRNAs related to angiogenesis in MSC-Exo was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results:After 24 h of incubation, MSC-Exo with a circular membrane vesicle structure was visible. MSC-Exo was positive for the expression of the characteristic surface markers CD9, CD63 and TSG101. After 24 h of intervention, the concentration of MSC-Exo protein were (1.080±0.019)μg/μl and (0.881±0.032)μg/μl in the experimental group and control group, respectively, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). The expression of miR-126-3p, miR-21, miR-146a-5p and miR-125b-5p in the GS-Rg1 group were significantly higher than that in the control group, while the expression of miR-16-5p was significantly lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:GS-Rg1 promotes the secretion of MSC-Exo and enhances the expression of angiogenesis-related miRNAs within Exo to promote angiogenesis.

The innovative exploration， establishment and application of Shanghai diarrhea comprehensive surveillance / 上海预防医学

In order to meet the needs of prevention and control of intestinal infectious diseases， a comprehensive surveillance for diarrheal diseases has been innovated and explored in Shanghai since 2012. The surveillance has extensive distribution of sentinel hospitals， systematic sampling， multi-pathogen collection， and hospital information system （HIS） as the basis， which has achieved “One system for surveillance of multiple diseases and one sample for detection of multiple pathogens". Continual active surveillance for the whole population has been conducted， covering demography， clinical information， epidemiology， pathogen detection， and drug sensitivity test for diarrhea cases. The surveillance has obtained preliminary achievements as follows. First， diarrheal diseases and their periodic changes have been characterized， in which the most prevalent pathogen of diarrhea is determined to be norovirus in Shanghai. Second， some rare pathogens and serotypes have been identified that may provide clues to the sources of outbreaks. Third， it facilitates the information sharing between public health institutions and clinical institutions， and provides scientific evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the future， Shanghai diarrhea comprehensive surveillance will be improved for expanding range and depth of surveillance， artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis and treatment， early warning of outbreaks， prediction of epidemic trends， and application of new detection technologies.
