Clinicopathological Study of Two Cases of Extranodal NK/T-cell Lymphoma with B-Lymphocytosis / 现代检验医学杂志

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma(ENKTL)with B-lymphocytosis.Methods Two cases of ENKTL with B-lymphocytosis diagnosed in Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from June to September 2023 were collected.HE staining,immunohistochemistry,and in situ hybridisation Epstein-barr virus encoded small RNA(EBER)testing was used to observe the histological features,immunophenotypes,and results of the in situ hybridisation EBER testing.A review of the relevant literature was conducted.Results In two cases of elderly male patients,whose lesion sites were on both the right side of the nasal cavity,histological characteristics of the tumor cells were diffuse distribution.The cells were of different sizes,mainly medium and large cells,with irregular nuclei,stained or transparent cytoplasm,oval nuclei,granular chromatin and inconspicuous nucleoli.Nuclear schizophrenia was more common and coagulative necrosis and apoptosis were evident.Foci of small lymphocyte aggregates were seen in the background and lymphoid follicles were distributed in a scattered manner.Immunohistochemical CD2,CD3,CD56,TIA-1 and granzyme B(GrB)were positive.CD20,CD79a and PAX-5 were focal positive.CD21,CD23 and CD35 had residual FDC network,and CD5 was negative.Ki-67 proliferation index was approximately 30%.EBER tumor cells detected by in situ hybridisation were positive.Pathological diagnosis showed ENKTL with B-lymphocytosis.Conclusion NKTL with B-lymphocytosis was rare,especially when B-lymphocyte hyperplasia formed lymphoid follicles.Lack of experience can easily cause diagnostic difficulties,and comprehensive analysis and diagnosis should be combined with the clinical manifestations,histological morphology and immunophenotype.

Comparison of the infectivity and stability of Asian versus African lineage Zika virus in glial cells / 中国人兽共患病学报

Infection of pregnant women by Asian lineage Zika virus(ZIKV)is more likely to cause microcephaly in infants than African lineage ZIKV.To further clarify the differences in infectivity and stability between Asian and African lineage ZIKV,we selected Asian lineage SZ01 and African lineage MR766 strains for study in glial cells.First,we examined the differ-ence in infectivity between SZ01 and MR766 on U251 and U87 astrocytes,and T98G glioblastoma cells,by using CCK8 assays.Subsequently,we examined the tolerance of SZ01 and MR766 to 37 ℃ and 40 ℃ in the free and infected cell states,by using qRT-PCR or viral plaque assays.Finally,we examined the effect of repeated freezing and thawing on the stability of SZ01 and MR766 with viral plaque assays.ZIKV had higher infectivity in U251 and U87 than T98G,and SZ01 was more infectious to as-trocytes than MR766.SZ01 tolerated 40 ℃ better than MR766 in the free state.SZ01 proliferated faster than MR766 in glial cells at 40 ℃.The tolerance of SZ01 to repeated freezing and thawing was higher than that of MR766.The above findings sug-gest that the infectivity and stability of Asian lineage ZIKV are significantly higher than those of African lineage ZIKV,possi-bly because of its persistent infection and pathogenicity.

Exploration of transcriptome SSR markers and its application in genetic diversity assessment of Asarum sieboldii / 中国中药杂志

To explore the genetic diversity of Asarum sieboldii this study developed SSR markers based on transcriptome sequencing results and five populations of A.sieboldii from different regions were used as samples for genetic diversity assessment using software such as GenALEx 6.5, NTSYS 2.1, and Structure 2.3.4. The results showed that 16 SSR markers with high polymorphism and good repeatability were selected from the A.sieboldii transcriptome. Primers designed based on the flanking sequences of these markers successfully amplified 56 polymorphic fragments from 150 individual samples of the five A.sieboldii populations. On average, each primer amplified 3.5 polymorphic fragments, ranging from 2 to 8. The mean values of expected heterozygosity(H_e), Shannon's diversity index(I), Nei's gene diversity index(H), and the polymorphic information content(PIC) were 0.172, 0.281, 0.429, and 0.382, respectively. The mean population differentiation coefficient(F_(ST)) was 0.588, consistent with the analysis of molecular variance(AMOVA) results, which indicated greater genetic variation among A.sieboldii populations(69%) than that within populations(31%). The percentage of polymorphic loci(PPL) ranged from highest to lowest as SNJ>LN>SY>SZ>TB. Principal coordinate analysis(PCoA) and UPGMA clustering analysis further revealed genetic clustering of A.sieboldii individuals based on their geographical distribution, consistent with the results of the structure clustering analysis. In summary, the SSR markers developed from the transcriptome effectively assessed the genetic differentiation and population structure of natural A.sieboldii populations, revealing a relatively low genetic diversity in A.sieboldii, with genetic variation primarily observed at the population level and a correlation between population differentiation and geographic distance.

The role of glutamine metabolism in castration-resistant prostate cancer / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

Reprogramming of metabolism is a hallmark of tumors, which has been explored for therapeutic purposes. Prostate cancer (PCa), particularly advanced and therapy-resistant PCa, displays unique metabolic properties. Targeting metabolic vulnerabilities in PCa may benefit patients who have exhausted currently available treatment options and improve clinical outcomes. Among the many nutrients, glutamine has been shown to play a central role in the metabolic reprogramming of advanced PCa. In addition to amino acid metabolism, glutamine is also widely involved in the synthesis of other macromolecules and biomasses. Targeting glutamine metabolic network by maximally inhibiting glutamine utilization in tumor cells may significantly add to treatment options for many patients. This review summarizes the metabolic landscape of PCa, with a particular focus on recent studies of how glutamine metabolism alterations affect therapeutic resistance and disease progression of PCa, and suggests novel therapeutic strategies.

After treatment, dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, norepinephrine, substance P, superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, and homocysteine levels in the combined therapy group were (9.05 ± 1.24) ng/mg, (89.49 ± 10.69) μg/L, (15.16 ± 1.36) ng/mg, (102.8 ± 15.36) μg/L, (88.40 ± 10.04) kU/L, (5.5 ± 2.31) μmol/L, and (9.20 ± 3.36) μmol/L, respectively, which were superior to (6.61 ± 1.02) ng/mg, (68.52 ± 9.52) μg/L, (12.33 ± 1.24) ng/mg, (151.64 ± 16.03) μg/L, (74.99 ± 7.28) kU/L, (9.27 ± 3.07) μmol/L, and (13.52 ± 3.64) μmol/L in the levodopa and benserazide hydrochloride group and (7.22 ± 1.09) ng/mg, (79.52 ± 10.20) μg/L, (13.92 ± 1.31) ng/mg, (131.30 ± 15.65) μg/L, (80.59 ± 8.24) kU/L, (7.53 ± 2.93) μmol/L, (11.35 ± 3.71) μmol/L in the pramipexole group ( F = 38.53, 32.05, 35.49, -73.42, 18.42, -22.65, -12.13, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Levodopa and benserazide hydrochloride combined with pramipexole are highly effective on Parkinson's disease. The combined therapy can effectively improve brain neurotransmitters and regulate oxidative stress response.

Research advances in hemorrhage after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography / 临床肝胆病杂志

Although hemorrhage after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） is mostly mild and self－limited， sometimes blood transfusion and endoscopic hemostasis are still needed. However， rebleeding may occur after conventional endoscopic hemostasis and thus requires interventional vascular embolization or surgical intervention， which might significantly increase the risk of death associated with post－ERCP bleeding. This article discusses the risk factors for post－ERCP bleeding， including disease－specific factors， patient－related factors， and operation－related factors， and elaborates on different measures for the prevention and treatment of post－ERCP bleeding， so as to provide a reference for identifying the high－risk population for bleeding and developing precise surgical strategies in clinical practice.

A study on the correlation among clinical ability, professional commitment, and academic self-efficacy of nursing undergraduate interns / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective:To understand the current situation of clinical ability, professional commitment, and academic self-efficacy of undergraduate nursing interns, explore the correlation among them, and provide theoretical basis for improving the clinical competence of undergraduate nursing students.Methods:The method of convenient sampling was adopted to select 325 nursing undergraduates who had internships in a three-A hospital from July 2018 to July 2020 as the research objects. General data questionnaire, nursing mini-clinical exercise assessment scale, college student professional commitment survey scale and academic self-efficacy scale were used to investigate and evaluate the students at the end of their practice. SPSS 19.0 was used to conduct Pearson correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis.Results:The total scores of clinical ability, professional commitment and self-efficacy were (51.46±7.64) points, (88.11±5.02) points and (74.20±7.95) points respectively. The results of correlation analysis showed that the clinical ability of nursing undergraduates was significantly positively correlated with professional commitment and academic self-efficacy ( P<0.05). The multiple stepwise regression analysis further showed that the latter two factors had a positive predictive effect on clinical ability, and professional commitment was the strongest factor. Conclusion:Clinical practice teaching should pay attention to the cultivation of the professional commitment and academic self-efficacy of nursing undergraduates and thus promote the development of their clinical ability.

Intra-abdominal aortic balloon occlusion in the management of placenta percreta / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Massive bleeding is the main concern for the management of placenta percreta (PP). Intra-abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (IABO) is one method for pelvic devascularization, but the efficacy of IABO is uncertain. This study aims to investigate the outcomes of IABO in PP patients.@*METHODS@#We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of PP cases from six tertiary centers in China between January 2011 and December 2015. PP cases with/without the use of IABO were analyzed. Propensity score matching analysis was performed to reduce the effect of selection bias. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and the rate of hysterectomy, as well as neonatal outcomes, were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#One hundred and thirty-two matched pairs of patients were included in the final analysis. Compared with the control group, maternal outcomes, including PPH (68.9% vs. 87.9%, χ2 = 13.984, P < 0.001), hysterectomy (8.3% vs. 65.2%, χ2 = 91.672, P < 0.001), and repeated surgery (1.5% vs. 12.1%, χ2 = 11.686, P = 0.001) were significantly reduced in the IABO group. For neonatal outcomes, Apgar scores at 1 minute (8.67 ± 1.79 vs. 8.53 ± 1.68, t = -0.638, P = 0.947) and 5 minutes (9.43 ± 1.55 vs. 9.53 ± 1.26, t = 0.566, P = 0.293) were not significantly different between the two groups.@*CONCLUSIONS@#IABO can significantly reduce blood loss, hysterectomies, and repeated surgeries. This procedure has not shown harmful effects on neonatal outcomes.

Correlation between Serum Homocysteine Level, MTHFR Gene Polymorphism and Patients with Hematological Diseases Complicated with Coronary Heart Disease / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the expression level of serum homocysteine (Hcy) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism in patients with hematological diseases complicated with coronary heart disease, and analyze the relationship between serum Hcy level, MTHFR gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease.@*METHODS@#The medical records of 80 patients with coronary heart disease who completed treatment of hematological diseases during the period from March 2018 to March 2020 were selected as observation group. In addition, the medical records of 92 patients with hematological diseases who completed treatment in our hospital during the same period were selected as control group. Venous blood samples of the two groups were collected to detect serum Hcy level and MTHFR gene polymorphism. The serum Hcy levels of the two groups with different MTHFR genotypes were compared, and the effects of the above indicators on hematological diseases complicated with coronary heart disease were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The detection rates of MTHFR gene TT and TC in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, while the distribution frequency of MTHFR genotype CC was lower (P<0.05). The serum Hcy levels of the patients with MTHFR genotype TT and TC in the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that MTHFR gene TC/CC genotype serum Hcy overexpression may be influencing factor which induced coronary heart disease in patients with hematological diseases (OR=2.107/OR=1.634, P<0.05). ROC curves showed that the AUC of serum Hcy level of MTHFR gene TC/CC genotype and hematological disease complicated with coronary heart disease were both > 0.8. When MTHFR gene TC reaching the optimal threshold of 22.165 μmol/L, the sensitivity was 0.950 and the specificity was 0.837, While MTHFR gene CC reached the optimal threshold of 19.630 μmol/L, the sensitivity was 0.938 and the specificity was 0.826, the best predictive value could be obtained.@*CONCLUSION@#The changes of serum Hcy and MTHFR gene polymorphisms may be involved in the pathological process in patients with hematological diseases complicated with coronary heart disease. In the future, early detection of serum Hcy levels and MTHFR gene polymorphisms in patients with hematological diseases can be used to predict the risk of coronary heart disease.

Relationship between homocysteine metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphism and prognosis of multiple myeloma in Han nationality / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical relationship between homocysteine (Hcy) metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphism and poor prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM) in Han nationality.Methods:One hundred and twenty-eight MM patients of Han nationality admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from February 2018 to March 2020 were selected as the disease group, and 120 healthy volunteers of Han nationality were recruited as the control group at the same time. Blood samples were taken to detect plasma Hcy level and Hcy metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphism, including methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR) C677T, MTHFRA1298C, methionine synthase reductase(MTRR) A66G, cystathionine beta-synthase(CBS) 844ins68 and methionine synthase (MS) A2756G. The patients in the disease group were treated with conventional methods , followed up for 1 year after treatment, and the incidence of poor prognosis was counted. Plasma Hcy level, genotype distribution and allele frequency of Hcy metabolic enzymes were compared between the two groups. Logistic multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the association of Hcy metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphism with MM poor prognosis in Han nationality.Results:The plasma Hcy level in the disease group was higher than that in the control group: (15.01 ± 2.98) μmol/L vs. (8.45 ± 1.69) μmol/L, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The frequency of TT genotype and T allele of MTHFRC677T locus in the disease group were higher than those in the control group : 26.56% vs. 6.67% , 29.30 vs. 16.25%; while the frequency of CT genotype in the disease group was lower than that in the control group: 5.47% vs. 19.17% , there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in genotype distribution and allele frequency of other gene loci between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of poor prognosis in the disease group was 49.22%(63/128). Age, platelet count, serum β 2 microglobulin level, serum κ light chain level, plasma Hcy level and TT genotype of MTHFRC677T locus were the influencing factors of poor prognosis in the disease group ( OR = 7.286, 0.545, 6.841, 6.284, 8.117 and 8.440; P<0.05). Conclusions:The plasma Hcy level, TT genotype and T allele frequency of MTHFRC677T locus in MM patients of Han nationality are higher than those in healthy people, while the CT genotype frequency is lower than that in healthy people. The poor prognosis of MM in Han nationality is related to plasma Hcy level and TT genotype of MTHFRC 677T locus.

Honokiol inhibits IL-1 induced angiogenesis in human lung cancer cell H460 through NF-kB signaling pathway / 中国药理学通报

Aim To investigate the effect of honokiol(HNK)on the angiogenesis of lung cancer cells H460 induced by the tumor inflammatory microenvironment and its possible mechanism.Methods CCK-8 was used to detect the effect of HNK on the proliferation of H460 cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs); RT-PCR, Western blot, immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF); Western blot was used to detect the signaling pathway protein p-IκBα, p-IKKα and NF-κB p65 protein expression.The wound healing test, transwell and tube formation tests were used to detect the inhibition ability of HNK on the migration and angiogenesis of HUVECs.Results HNK treated H460 cells for 24, 48, 72 h respectively, and inhibited the proliferation of H460 cells in a concentration-and time-dependent manner.HNK inhibited the survival of HUVEC cells in a concentration-dependent manner.HNK also reduced the protein and mRNA expression levels of VEGF in H460 cells.Subsequently, HNK concentration-dependently inhibited the phosphorylation of IκBα, NF-κB and IKKα in the NF-κB signaling pathway.Wound healing test, Transwell cell migration test and tube formation test showed that H460 conditioned medium treated with HNK had the ability to inhibit the migration and angiogenesis of HUVECs.Conclusions HNK reduces the viability and angiogenesis of human lung cancer cells by down-regulation of VEGF via the NF-κB pathway.

Efficacy and Safety of Helicobacter pylori Eradication in the Elderly: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis / 胃肠病学

Background: The benefits and risks of eradicating Helicobacter pylori (Hp) should be balanced in aged people. Aims: To investigate the efficacy, safety and antibiotic resistance status of Hp eradication treatment in the elderly. Methods: Four cohorts of subjects who received Hp eradication treatment in randomized controlled trials conducted in Chongqing Daping Hospital were reviewed; the demographic and clinical data were extracted and recorded. Propensity score matching was performed to select comparable elderly group (≥60 years old) and non-elderly group (0.05). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the Hp eradication rates in terms of gender, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, surgical history, and inflammation), compliance, etc. in the elderly group (all P> 0.05). But in retreated elderly subjects, the resistance rate of clarithromycin was higher than that in naïve elderly subjects (P<0.05). Smoking and poor compliance were identified as independent risk factors for Hp eradication by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: Hp eradication in the elderly demonstrates comparable efficacy and safety with non-elderly subjects. Clarithromycin-containing regimens are not recommended for empirical retreatment in aged people.

There were no statistically significant differences between the case group and the control group in terms of education level, department, dining regularity, drinking history, smoking history, hepatitis B surface antigen, serum triacylglycerol, serum total cholesterol, serum alanine aminotransferase, serum aspartate aminotransferase levels ( P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, BMI and night shift frequency were the influencing factors in the regression equation ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Age, BMI and night shift frequency may be related risk factors of gallbladder polyps in shift nurses.

Kangaroo care for mothers and fathers of premature infants: a non-inferiority study / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To explore the effect of kangaroo care for mothers and fathers on preterm infants' heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature and so on, and to explore the influence of kangaroo care on the anxiety of the implementers.Methods:Totally 132 cases of preterm infants and their parents from September 2017 to September 2018 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were randomly divided into mother group (67 cases) and father group (65 cases) by envelope method. The intervention lasted for two hours. State Anxiety Inventory(SAI) was used to evaluate the anxiety status of the implementers before and after the intervention, and the heart rate, oxygen saturation and body temperature of preterm infants were recorded 15 minutes before and at the end of the intervention.Results:Before the intervention, the SAI scores of the two groups were 35.00(30.00, 45.00) in the mother group and 33.00(30.00, 43.00) in the father group, with no significant difference ( Z value was -0.645, P>0.05); after the intervention, the SAI score of the mother group was 29.00(23.00, 32.00) and that of the father group was 25.00(21.50, 28.00), with significant difference ( Z value was -3.518, P<0.01). Before and after the intervention, the changes of heart rate ( δ1=- 4.25), blood oxygen saturation ( δ2=1.45), body temperature ( δ3=0.20) of preterm infants before and after the intervention were tested by non inferiority test, and the difference was statistically significant ( t values were -6.370, 5.343, 12.612, P<0.01). Conclusions:The effect of kangaroo care on preterm infants' heart rate, blood oxygen and body temperature are no less than that of mothers. Compared with mother, kangaroo care can reduce father's anxiety better.

SPSS 22.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:At the end of the internship, the experimental group's theoretical assessment score, bedside nursing procedure ability assessment score, and comprehensive quality evaluation were better than the control group's ( P < 0.05). The questionnaire survey of the experimental group nursing students showed a good acceptance of the SPOC teaching mode. Conclusion:The SPOC teaching mode is helpful to improve the comprehensive quality of nursing students and their post competency, which is worthy of further promotion in nursing graduation internship.

Identifying the role of apolipoprotein A-I in prostate cancer / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

Although localized prostate cancer (PCa) can be cured by prostatectomy and radiotherapy, the development of effective therapeutic approaches for advanced prostate cancer, including castration-resistant PCa (CRPC) and neuroendocrine PCa (NEPC), is lagging far behind. Identifying a novel prognostic and diagnostic biomarker for early diagnosis and intervention is an urgent clinical need. Here, we report that apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), the major component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), is upregulated in PCa based on both bioinformatics and experimental evidence. The fact that advanced PCa shows strong ApoA-I expression reflects its potential role in driving therapeutic resistance and disease progression by reprogramming the lipid metabolic network of tumor cells. Molecularly, ApoA-I is regulated by MYC, a frequently amplified oncogene in late-stage PCa. Altogether, our findings have revealed a novel indicator to predict prognosis and recurrence, which would benefit patients who are prone to progress to metastasis or even NEPC, which is the lethal subtype of PCa.

Clinical Study on Calcitriol Combined with Sirolimus in the Treatment of Chronic Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia Patients / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical efficacy of calcitriol combined with sirolimus in the treatment of chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (cITP) patients.@*METHODS@#A total of 146 adult cITP patients reated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from March 2017 to March 2020 were randomly divided into observation group (73 cases) and control group (73 cases) according to random number table. The control group was treated with oral sirolimus capsule, the observation group was treated with oral calcitriol capsule combined with sirolimus capsule, and the curative effect of the 2 groups was evaluated after continuous treatment for 6 weeks. The changes of World Health Organization (WHO) bleeding grade, laboratory related index, including peripheral blood regulatory T cell (Treg), serum 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D@*RESULTS@#The total effective rate of the observation group was 79.5% (58/73), which was significantly higher than 64.4% (47/73) of the control group (P<0.05). The revised WHO bleeding grades after treatment were significantly better than those before treatment in the 2 groups (P<0.05), but the observation group was improved more significantly than the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, platelet count (PLT), peripheral blood Treg cell ratio, and serum 1,25(OH)@*CONCLUSION@#The overall efficacy of calcitriol combined with sirolimus in the treatment of cITP in adults is satisfactory, which can effectively alleviate patient's condition, improve the quality of life, further increase the platelet level and decrease the expression of VDR in peripheral blood lymphocyte, the mechanism may be related to increasing the level of serum 1,25(OH)
