ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the histopathological and immunohistochemical changes of gastric fundus and duodenum after bariatric embolization of left gastric artery and gastroduodenal artery in obesity New Zealand rabbit models.Methods:Twenty obesity New Zealand rabbit models were successfully established and divided into two groups using stratified randomization. Left gastric artery and gastroduodenal artery were embolized with gelatin sponge (350-560 μm) in experimental group, left gastric artery and gastroduodenal artery were perfused with normal saline in control group. All animals were sacrificed for pathological, immunohistochemical examination and Western Blot analysis 4 weeks post embolization, the density of ghrelin producing cells and the gray ratio of ghrelin protein band were measured and compared by the independent sample t test. Results:Macropathological examination showed ulceration in the anterior wall of the gastric body in one rabbit, histopathological examination showed mucosa ulceration in the gastric body in 3 rabbits in experimental group. Immunohistochemical examination showed that the ghrelin producing cells of gastric fundus and duodenum in the experimental group were significantly less than those in the control group (10.0±5.1 vs.27.7±3.4, t=12.35, P<0.05;5.6±2.6 vs. 12.3±2.1, t=4.73, P<0.05). Western Blot analysis showed that the gray ratio of ghrelin bands of gastric fundus and duodenum in the experimental group were significantly lower than that in the control group (0.65±0.05 vs.1.12±0.09, t=9.62, P<0.05;0.55±0.03 vs. 0.94±0.08, t=7.98, P<0.05). Conclusions:Immunohistochemical and Western Blot analysis showed that the ghrelin-producing cells of gastric fundus and duodenum in the experimental group were significantly less than those in the control group after bariatric embolization, histopathologic analysis indicated that bariatric embolization was a safe technique.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the prevalence, genotype distribution and hematological characteristics of α,β-thalassaemia carriers in Huizhou area of Guangdong Province.@*METHODS@#10 809 carriers of simple β-thalassaemia and 1 757 carriers of α,β-thalassaemia were enrolled as our study cohort. The hematological parameters were detected by automated blood cell counters and automatic capillary electrophoresis. Suspension array technology, gap-polymerase chain reaction (gap-PCR) and PCR-reverse dot blot were used for the genotyping of thalassaemia carriers.@*RESULTS@#The prevalence of α,β-thalassaemia in Huizhou area of Guangdong Province was 1.99%. A total of 62 genotypes were detected, and the most prevalent genotype was --SEA/ αα, βCD41-42/ βN (19.29%), the next was --SEA/ αα, βIVS-II-654/ βN (16.73%). Significant differences in mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) were found between different genotype groups for simple β-thalassaemia and α,β-thalassaemia. Violin plots showed that carriers with co-inheritance of β-thalassaemia and mild α-thalassaemia expressed the lightest anemia, and carriers with co-inheritance of β-thalassaemia and hemoglobin H (Hb H) disease expressed the most severe anemia.@*CONCLUSION@#There is a high prevalence of α,β-thalassaemia in Huizhou area of Guangdong Province. Because of the lack of specific hematological makers for diagnosis of α,β-thalassaemia, it is necessary to distinguish it from simple β-thalassaemia by genotyping of α- and β-thalassaemia in order to correctly guide genetic counseling and prenatal disgnosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective:A retrospective study was conducted to analysis the clinical characteristics of 7insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) patients.Methods:Clinical data were collected by searching the computerized database.Results:The male-female ratio of these seven patients was 4:3; age of the four patients was between 60-70 years old;two patients with the history of Hashimoto's disease. Of the seven cases, six wereexogenous IAS. The level of insulin was excessively high, the level of C-peptide was not low, and insulin auto-antibodies (IAA) were positive of all the seven patients. The lowest blood glucose of one patient was 4.2 mmol/L. The insulin to C-peptide molar ratios were >1 in five patients. Symptoms were relieved after discontinuing use of the suspicious drugs, small frequent meals, taking acarbose and metformin.Conclusions:IAS should not be easily excluded in patients without hypoglycemia record. For diabetes patients receiving insulin therapy, exogenous IAS might be mistaken as hypoglycemia induced by insulin overdose. The identification of the genotype might be meaningful in the diagnosing and prevention of IAS.

ABSTRACT

In 2020, the mass concentration of PM2.5 in Shijiazhuang urban area was(80.30±71.43)μg/m3. The Spearman correlation analysis between metals and metalloids showed that Sb with Cd, Pb, Ni, Se, Cd with Pb, Ni, Se, Pb with Ni, Se, Ni with Se, and Se with Tl were positively correlated, with a coefficient greater than 0.5. The main sources of metals and metalloids of PM2.5 were traffic emissions, fuel combustion, metal smelting and dust. The HQ values of Pb, Hg and Mn for each population were less than 1, with lower non-carcinogenic risk. The R values of carcinogenic risk of Ni and Cd in each population were less than 1×10-6, which could be acceptable risk level for the population. The R values of carcinogenic risk of As and Cr in different populations were between 1×10-6 and 1×10-4, with potential carcinogenic risk, particularly higher in adult males.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Yupingfeng Powder (YPF), a kind of preventative patent medicine, is chosen for treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to its high frequency application in respiratory tract diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, respiratory tract infections, and pneumonia, with the advantage of reducing the relapse rate and the severity. However, the active components of YPF and the mechanisms of components affecting COVID-19 are unclear. This study aimed to determine active constituents and elucidate its potential mechanisms. Methods: Ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS) and liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-QQQ-MS) were used to determine the components and absorbable constituents of YPF. Secondly, TCMSP, Drugbank, Swiss and PharmMapper were used to search the targets of absorbable bioactive constituents of YPF, and the targets of COVID-19 were identified based on GeneCards and OMIM databases. STRING database was used to filter the possible inter-protein interactions. Thirdly, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways analysis were performed to identify molecular function and systemic involvement of target genes. Results: A total of 61 components of YPF and 36 absorbable constituents were identified through UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. Wogonin, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, 5-O-methylvisamminol, astragaloside IV and 5-O-methylvisamminol (hydroxylation) were vital constituents for the treatment of COVID-19, and RELA, TNF, IL-6, MAPK14 and MAPK8ere recognized as key targets of YPF. The major metabolic reactions of the absorbed constituents of YPF were demethylation, hydroxylation, sulfation and glucuronidation. GO and KEGG pathway analysis further showed that the most important functions of YPF were T cell activation, response to molecule of bacterial origin, cytokine receptor binding, receptor ligand activity, cytokine activity, IL-17 signaling pathway, Chagas disease, lipid and atherosclerosis, etc. Conclusion: The approach of combining UPLC-Q/TOF-MS with network pharmacology is an effective tool to identify potentially bioactive constituents of YPF and its key targets on treatment of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To report two cases of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) caused by LAMB2 gene mutation, and summarize the characteristics of genotype, clinical and pathological phenotypes of children with LAMB2 gene mutation. Methods:Two cases with SRNS caused by LAMB2 gene mutation were from Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology in December 2013 and September 2019. The demographic, family history and clinical data of two cases were collected, and the peripheral blood genomic DNA was captured and sequenced by whole exome sequencing. PubMed, Medline, CNKI and Wanfang databases were searched to summarize the clinicopathological phenotypes and genotypes of patients with LAMB2 mutation. Results:Among the two cases with SRNS caused by LAMB2 gene mutation, the clinical phenotypes were all manifested as nephrotic level of proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia, and there was no extrarenal clinical manifestation. One case presented with basement membrane delamination and the other with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). LAMB2 mutations of two cases were Exon32 c.5390G>T(p.Cys1797Phe), Exon19 c.2557C>T(p.Arg853*) and Exon27 c.4370G>A(p.R1457Q), Exon23 c.3325G>A(p.E1109K), respectively. In literature retrieval, there were 37 cases with LAMB2 gene mutation, including 24 cases with renal biopsy data, 13 cases of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), 4 cases of minimal change disease, one case of diffuse mesangial sclerosis, one case of IgM nephropathy, two cases of thin basement membrane nephropathy, and three cases of mesangial hyperplasia. Among them, eight cases had basement membrane delamination tear. Among the 37 cases, 11 cases were homozygous, 22 cases were complex heterozygosity, and 4 cases were heterozygous mutation. Conclusions:LAMB2 mutation may cause delamination tear of glomerular basement membrane. The clinical phenotype is congenital nephrotic syndrome or SRNS. The literature review shows the extrarenal manifestations caused by LAMB2 mutation are mostly various ocular abnormalities, as well as respiratory, digestive and nervous system abnormalities, and the time of progression to end-stage renal disease is also different.

ABSTRACT

With the development of organ transplantation in clinical practice, allograft pathology has been constantly developing and advancing. The convening of Banff conference on allograft pathology and the establishment of Banff classification on allograft pathology (Banff classification) are pivotal milestones in the development of international allograft pathology. Since then, Banff classification on pathological diagnosis of various transplant organs have been continually updated and improved. Ultrastructural pathological observation by electron microscope plays an irreplaceable role in the early diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection, recurrent disease and de novo disease of renal allograft. Early detection and rational treatment help to maintain the long-term survival of renal allograft and reduce the failure of renal allograft. In this article, the basic definition of electron microscope and the ultrastructural pathological diagnosis, the research history and main progress on electron microscope diagnosis on Banff classification for renal allograft pathology were introduced, and typical pathological changes, specific terminology and diagnostic criteria of electron microscope diagnosis on renal allograft biopsy were summarized, aiming to provide reference for clinical and basic research of organ transplantation.

ABSTRACT

Objective::To explore the effect of Erjingwan on the biological basis of kidney yin deficiency Alzheimer' s disease(AD)rats induced by ovariectomy+ D-galactose combined with amyloid beta1-40 (Aβ1-40). Method::After ovariectomy, rats were randomly divided into five groups: model group, positive group, Erjingwan high, medium and low dose group, 11 rats in each group, and 11 rats in sham operation group. One week after operation, D-galactose was injected intraperitoneally for 7 weeks, and four weeks after operation, Aβ1-40 was injected unilaterally into hippocampus. The rats in model group and sham-operation group were given saline by intragastric administration 3 weeks after operation. The rats in high, middle and low dose groups of Erjingwan were given corresponding concentration (9.0, 4.5, 2.25 g·kg-1). The rats in positive control group were given Donepezil 1.0 mg·kg-1 with dosage of 10 mL·kg-1 once a day for 35 consecutive days. After 30 days of administration, the learning ability of the rats were examined using a Y-maze. The hippocampus tissues of rats were isolated. The morphology of hippocampus was observed by Nissl staining.The proteins were detected by Nanol-ESI liquid-mass spectrometry system and identified by protein Discovery software. Relative quantitative and qualitative analysis of differential proteins in hippocampus was performed by SIEVE software, and Gene Ontology of differential protein was performed by PANTHER Classification System database. String analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment were performed on the differential proteins. Result::Compared with model group, the correct rate of Y maze in the high and middle dose groups of Erjingwan was significantly raised(P<0.05), and the number of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 area was significantly increased(P<0.01).115 differential proteins (Ratio>1.5 or Ratio<0.5) such as Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptors(IGF-1R) were found in the high-dose group of the Erjingwan group as well as 94 differential proteins such as Synaptophysin expressed in the middle-dose group of the Erjingwan. And there are 87 differential proteins such as Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase-cytosolic in the positive drug group. It showed that these proteins were mainly divided into tubule-related proteins, heat shock proteins, energy metabolism-related proteins and AD-related proteins with GO analysis. It was found that the above differential proteins involved 93 signaling pathways such as Dopaminergic synaps by KEGG analysis. Conclusion::Erjingwan can improve cognitive impairment and neuronal damage in rats with kidney yin deficiency, possibly by altering the expression of multiple pathway-associated proteins such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway(PI3K/Akt), insulin signaling pathway, and adenylate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)signaling pathway, estrogen signaling pathway, and Dopaminergic synapse.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influence of body mass index(BMI) on the prognosis of patients who had received elective PCI.Methods The study population consisted of 2964 consecutive patients with electivePCIs performed between July 2009 and September 2011. The patients were divided into three groups based on their preoperative BMI levels:the normal group( BMI<24.0 kg/m2,n=810); the overweight group( 24.0 kg/m2≤BMI<28.0 kg/m2,n=1454) and the obese group(BMI≥28.0 kg/m2,n=700). We examined the association between baseline BMI levels and postoperative mortality through a mean(571.5±130.8)days of follow up.Results Patients with high BMI had a higher percentage of comorbidities compared with the normal BMI group. The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that preoperative BMI was inversely associated with mortality after adjustment for other factors (HR 0.896,95% CI 0.821-0.977,P=0.031). Compared with the obese group, the hazard ratios for risk of mortality in the overweight and the normal groups were 1.908(95%CI 0.689-5.291,P=0.213) and 2.241(95%CI 1.154-4.350,P=0.017).Conclusions For patients undergoing elective PCI, individuals with obesity and overweight had the better prognosis than those with normal BMI.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate weight, ghrelin changes following transcatheter left gastric artery embolization in rabbit model of obesity, and evaluate its safety. Methods Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, ten New Zealand rabbits in each group, group A:left gastric artery embolization using gelatin sponge, group B:left gastric artery and gastroduodenal artery embolization using gelatin sponge, group C (control group): left gastric artery and gastroduodenal artery perfusion using normal saline. Ghrelin, weight and liver and kidney function were measured at preoperative and postoperative 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks. T test was used to compare the differences in the levels of preoperative and postoperative average ghrelin, weight, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), creatinine and urea in each group. The ANOVA of repeated measurement was used to compare the difference of preoperative and postoperative each time points between the three groups. Results The preoperative and postoperative ghrelin levels in group A were (4057±61)and (3708±141) pg/ml with statistically significant differences (t=4.5, P<0.05). The preoperative and postoperative ghrelin levels in group B were (4137 ± 89) and (3608 ± 239) pg/ml with statistically significant differences (t=6.8, P<0.05). The preoperative and postoperative ghrelin levels in the control group were (3986 ± 82)and (4044 ± 72) pg/ml with no statistically significant differences (t=0.7, P>0.05). The level of ghrelin in group B decreased significantly compared with group A and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.8, P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in postoperative ghrelin levels between the three groups (F=15.6, P<0.05). The preoperative and postoperative weight in group A were (6.12±0.38)and (5.66±0.39) kg with statistically significant differences (t=2.7, P<0.05). The preoperative and postoperative weight in group B were (5.99 ± 0.57)and (5.24 ± 0.61) kg with statistically significant differences (t=3.1, P<0.05). The preoperative and postoperative weight in the control group were (5.94 ± 0.45)and (6.24 ± 0.42) kg with no statistically significant differences (t=1.2, P>0.05). The weight loss of group B was significantly greater than that of group A and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.2, P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in postoperative weight between the three groups (F=5.1, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in ALT, AST, creatinine and urea levels at preoperative and postoperative each time points in each group (P>0.05). Conclusion Left gastric artery embolization can become a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for obesity and left gastric artery and gastroduodenal artery embolization at the same time could achieve more weight loss.

ABSTRACT

The development of hepatocellular carcinoma is insidious and rapid.Most patients can not undergo surgery after diagnosis.Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is considered to be the best modality for treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.However,there are some bottlenecks in TACE,such as low targeting of chemotherapy drugs and incomplete treatment.How to improve the curative effect of TACE has become a key issue in the interventional treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.In recent years,the study of nano-drug delivery systems has been expected to solve these problems,and has become a hot spot in the field of targeted therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.In this paper,the current research status of nano-drug delivery systems and its application in the interventional-targeted therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma are reviewed.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>Background</b>The diagnosis and treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) play a vital role in the prognosis of patients with HCC. The purpose of our study was to evaluate angio-computed tomography (angio-CT)-guided immediate lipiodol CT (a CT scan performed immediately after transarterial chemoembolization [TACE]) in the diagnosis of potential HCCs ≤1 cm in diameter.</p><p><b>Methods</b>This study retrospectively analyzed 31 patients diagnosed with HCCs after routine imaging (contrast-enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging) or pathologic examinations with undefined or undetermined tumor lesions (diameter ≤1 cm) from February 2016 to September 2016. After TACE guided by digital subtraction angiography of the angio-CT system, potential HCC lesions with a diameter ≤1 cm were diagnosed by immediate lipiodol CT. The number of well-demarcated lesions was recorded to calculate the true positive rate. The correlation between the number of small HCCs detected by immediate lipiodol CT and the size of HCC lesions (diameter >1 cm) diagnosed preoperatively was analyzed 1 month after TACE. A paired t-test was used to analyze differences in liver function. Pearson analysis was used to analyze correlation. Chi-square test was used to compare the rates.</p><p><b>Results</b>Fifty-eight lesions were detected on preoperative routine imaging examinations in 31 patients including 15 lesions with a diameter ≤1 cm. Ninety-one lesions were detected on immediate lipiodol CT, of which 48 had a diameter ≤1 cm. After 1 month, CT showed that 45 lesions had lipiodol deposition and three lesions had lipiodol clearance. Correlation analysis showed that the number of small HCCs detected by lipiodol CT was positively correlated with the size of HCC lesions diagnosed by conventional imaging examination (R = 0.54, P < 0.05).</p><p><b>Conclusion</b>Immediate lipiodol CT may be a useful tool in the diagnosis of potential HCC lesions with a diameter of ≤1 cm.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective:Characteristics of the retroperitoneal tumor blood supply arteries were analyzed to evaluate the safety and effec-tiveness of preoperative interventional embolization for benign and malignant retroperitoneal tumors. Methods:A total of 241 cases were divided into benign retroperitoneal tumor group and malignant retroperitoneal tumor group. Each group was divided into groups A, B, and C according to the long diameter of the tumor tissue. Group A>10.0 cm, 5.0 cm0.05). Significant differences in intraoperative bleeding and intraoperative blood transfusion were found between groups A and B (P<0.05). Main arteries of the abdominal retroperitoneal tumor are the lumbar, internal iliac, and adrenal arteries. The main artery of pelvic retroperitoneal tumor is the internal iliac artery. Conclusion:Preoperative interventional embolization can effec-tively reduce the risk of bleeding during malignant retroperitoneal tumor surgery and improve the perioperative safety of patients. No significant benefit of benign retroperitoneal tumors and no increased risk of bleeding during surgery were observed. Retroperitoneal tumor preoperative embolization should focus on investigating the lumbar, internal iliac, and adrenal arteries.

Objective To investigate the effects of the interaction between human hepatoma cells and hepatic stellate cells on their growth state,and study its role of interaction on the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Human hepatoma cell line HepG2 and hepatic stellate cell line hepatic stallate cells (HSC)-T6 were used and the methods including methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay,flow cytometry (FCM) analysis,immunohistochemistry,and electron microscopy were employed in this experiment.The effects of conditioned medium (CM) of HepG2 on the activation and proliferation of HSC were explored.The effects of activated HSC CM on HepG2 proliferation were investigated.The uhrastructural changes of the two co-cultured cells were observed.Results MTT assay result showed that HepG2/HSC CM could promote HSC/HepG2 proliferation.FCM result demonstrated that HepG2/HSC CM could influence the cell cycle distribution in HSC/HepG2.Immunohistochemistry exhibited that after the treatment of HepG2/HSC CM,the expression ofα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in HSC and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in HepG2 were increased.When HepG2 and HSC were co-cultured,the ultrastructure of HSC displayed an activated feature.Conclusions HepG2 cells can induce the activation and proliferation of HSC,and the activated HSC can also stimulate the proliferation of HepG2.Interaction between hepatoma cells and hepatic stellate cells may play an important role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the application of PG-SGA,NRS 2002 and BIA in nutritional assessment and screening of patients with gynecologic cancers.Methods:118 patients were randomly selected.Nutritional status were evaluated by PG-SGA,NRS 2002 and BIA,and consistency between each tools were compared.Results:The prevalence of malnutrition or nutritional risk of patients were 64.4% (PG-SGA),57.6% (NRS 2002),and 33.9% (BIA) respectively.In all patients,the consistency of PG-SGA and NRS 2002 was high (P < 0.001),while there were not significantly consistent between BIA and PG-SGA,or between BIA and NRS 2002 (P < 0.001).Conclusion:According to the evaluation of PG-SGA or NRS 2002 in gynecologic patients,the prevalence of malnutrition or nutritional risk is high,and these two scales are suitable for nutritional assessment and screening of gynecologic cancer patients,especially in ovarian cancer patients.In addition,BIA may be a promising tool to evaluate cervical cancer patients' nutritional status.
