Analysis of Association Between Immune Cells and Breast Cancer Based on Two-sample Mendelian Randomization Method / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To explore the causal relationship among 731 types of immune cells and breast cancer. Methods Genome-wide association data for immune cells and breast cancer were used. Mendelian randomization analysis was performed using the inverse variance weighting (IVW) and weighted median (WM) methods, and sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess heterogeneity and pleiotropy. Results A total of 19 immune cell phenotypes were identified to potentially have a causal association with breast cancer, using IVW as the main analysis method (P>0.05) and correcting P values using the false discovery rate method at a significance level of 0.05, excluding reverse causality. Of these, eight and 11 immune phenotypes may increase and decrease the risk of breast cancer, respectively. Conclusion This study explored the causal relationship between immune cells and breast cancer. Results show that certain immune cell phenotypes could serve as predictive markers for the early diagnosis of breast cancer and the development of new immunotherapeutic strategies.

Incidence and related factors of pericardial tamponade after left atrial appendage closure in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation / 陆军军医大学学报

Objective To observe the incidence of pericardial tamponade(PT)after left atrial appendage closure(LAAC)in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation(NVAF),and to explore its related factors and outcomes.Methods NVAF patients who were hospitalized and treated with LAAC in Department of Cardiology of our hospital from August 2014 to March 2023 were selected for the study.The general clinical data,preoperative transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography data,results of routine preoperative laboratory tests,intraoperative data and follow-up data of the patients were collected through the hospital medical record management system.The enrolled patients were classified into the non-PT group(n=8)and the PT group(n =1184)according to whether PT occurred after LAAC or not.The incidence of PT,related risk factors and outcomes were statistically analyzed.Results This study included 639 males(53.6%)and 553 females(46.4%),with an average age of 68.1±9.65 years.The CHA2 DS2-VASc score was 4.51±1.72,and the HAS-BLED score was 3.36±1.09.PT occurred in 8 cases(0.67%),among them,6 cases occurred 1 to 33 h after LAAC,and 2 cases occurred on day 19 and day 27 after LAAC.As for the results of transesophageal echocardiography(TEE)and LAA angiography,compared with the non-PT group,the PT group had the significantly larger maximum caliber of the LAA(P=0.025,P=0.015),smaller maximum depth of the LAA(P=0.028,P=0.031),and lower success rate of one-time placement of the occluder(P=0.031);The occluder compression rate of the PT group was significantly greater than that of the non-PT group(P=0.046).Multivariate analysis showed that larger maximum diameter of LAA,smaller average effective depth of LAA and larger compression rate of occluder were the main risk factors for PT.All the 8 PT patients were cured by stopping antithrombotic drugs,pericardiocentesis or surgical drainage.During a mean follow-up of 39±27 months,there were no device-related thrombosis(DRT),ischemic stroke,systemic embolism and other complications in the PT group.Conclusion The incidence of PT after LAAC is low,which is related to the large diameter of LAA,the relatively insufficient depth of the LAA and the large compression rate of the occlude.PT can be cured by stopping antithrombotic drugs and pericardiocentesis/surgical drainage.

Effects of ischemia-reperfusion on the morphological changes of sinoatrial node cells in rabbits in vivo / 第三军医大学学报

Objective To investigate the effects of ischemia reperfusion on the morphological changes of sinoatrial node(SAN) cells in rabbits in vivo . Methods Ninety healthy adult rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups with 10 rabbits in control and every subgroup: control group [a suture passed under the root section of right coronary artery(RCA) without ligation], ischemia group(occluding the root section of RCA for 10, 30, 60 and 120 min respectively), ischemia reperfusion group(10, 30, 60 and 120 min ischemia after respectively followed by 4 hours′ reperfusion). Results ① Compared with control group, abnormal structure of SAN cells was not seen in 10 min ischemia group and 10 min ischemia reperfusion group with light microscopy, except slight mitochondrial swelling of SAN cells in former group with electron microscopy. ② There were morphological changes of SAN cells in 7, 6 and 8 rabbits in 30, 60 and 120 min ischemia group, presenting mainly as cellular swelling, karyopyknosis, and focal necrosis under a light microscope, and mitochodrial swelling, cristae disorganization or break under an electron microscope. The most severe cellular damages were found in 120 min ischemia group. ③ In ischemia reperfusion group, there were morphological abnormalities of SAN cells in 6, 8 and 7 rabbits in 30, 60 and 120 min ischemia reperfusion groups. The morphologic changes were similar to those in ischemia group, but injury degree was more severe than that in ischemia group with the same ischemic time. Conclusion Ischemia and ischemia reperfusion can induce morphological changes of SAN cells in a time dependent manner in rabbits in vivo , and the injury degree is more severe in ischemia reperfusion group than that in ischemia group with the same ischemic time.

Effect of ischemia reperfusion on electrophysiological function of sinoatrial node in rabbits / 第三军医大学学报

Objective To study the effect of ischemia reperfusion(IR) on electrophysiological function of sinoatrial node(SAN) in rabbits. Methods Ninety healthy adult rabbits were divided randomly into control group, ischemia groups (I) 10(I10 min), 30(I30 min), 60(I60 min) and 120 min(I120 min) and IR groups (10, 30, 60 and 120 min ischemia followed by 4 h reperfusion respectively)(I10 minR4 h, I30 minR4 h, I60 minR4 h and I120 minR4 h). There were 10 rabbits in the control group and each subgroup. IR injury model of SAN was established by occluding and loosening the start section of right coronary artery(RCA). The changes of AA interval and arrhythmia were recorded by electrocardiography and cardiac chamber electrography synchronously. Results ① There was no significant difference in AA interval between different time points in the control group. ② Sinus arrest(SA), sinus bradycardia with arrhythmia(SB), or atrial tachyarrhythmia(AT) were found in 51 rabbits (63.75%) out of 80 rabbits in I and IR groups in ischemic period. The incidence rate of arrhythmia increased in a time dependent manner. The AA intervals also increased by at least 40 ms in 54 rabbits (67.5%). ③ Sinus or atrial arrhythmia during ischemic period was found in 26 out of the 40 rabbits in IR group, but 15 returned normal after reperfusion. ④ Increased AA intervals were found in 27 out of the 40 rabbits in IR group during ischemic period. Most of them recovered to pre occlusion level within 10 min after reperfusion, but the AA intervals prolonged again in I60 minR4 h and I120 minR4 h groups as the reperfusion elongated. Conclusion ① These findings suggest that about 2/3 of the rabbit sinus node arteries may stem from right coronary artery. ② Electrophysiological changes due to ischemia of SAN resemble the electrocardiogram of sick sinoatrial node syndrome. ③ Reperfusion arrhythmia can be induced by reperfusion after a long time of ischemia.

Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus with Amplatzer occluder / 第三军医大学学报

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using Amplatzer occluder. Methods Routine cardiac catheterization and angiography were performed in 50 patients (23 male, 27 female, age ranging from 3 to 64 years old), including 19 cases of ASD and 31 cases of PDA under local or general anesthesia. After balloon sizing of the ASD, the optimal Amplazter septal occluder (ASO) was transmitted into the left atrial, and the left and right disks were released in turn. The Amplatzer occluder was completely released after transthoracic echocardiography confirmed that there was no residual shunts or new onset mitral valve regurgitation. The Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO) size was selected according to the narrowest point of PDA measured by angiography, and the occluder was released after the repeated angiography showed no residual shunts. Results ① The mean diameter of the ASD measured by balloon was 13-31 (23?6) mm and the diameter of ASO was (17-40) mm. The immediate closure rate was 100%. ② Angiography confirmed that closure of the ductus using ADO was achieved in 30 patients, and closure of the large size (12 mm) was achieved in 1 case of PDA patient using ASO (17 mm). No complications were encountered. Conclusion Transcatheter closure of ASD and PDA using Amplatzer device, with the advantages of simple operation, confirmative occlusion efficacy, minimal invasiveness, wide indications, and less complications, has a bright future of clinical application.

Cultivation,retrieval and purification of mouse MSCs / 第三军医大学学报

Objective To develop new methods to cultivate, retrieve and purify mouse mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs). Methods Bone marrow was collected from 2-month-old Kunming mice by flushing femurs and tibias with complete medium of DMEM-LG. Cells were plated in a Petri dish. After 24 hours, non-adherent cells were removed by two to three washes with PBS, adherent cells were further cultured in complete medium and retrieved by trypsinisation with 0.25% trypsin for 5 min at 37 ℃. The treated adherent cells were cultivated with 3?dilution for further generations. CD11b-negative cells were retrieved from the collected adherent cells of 3rd generation by using immunomagnetic microbeads, and continued to be cultured in complete medium. After the cultured cells were retrieved, their morphology and their ability of osteoblastic differentiation and adipocytic differentiation were examined. Results Most of mMSCs from 1st generation were of shuttle shape, some of irregular shape. After treatment with magnetic microbeads and several generations, mMSCs were of spindle, star and irregular shape. These cells were of rich cytoplasma, clear nucleolus, and grew in parallel or vortex. The cultured adherent cells from the first and subsequent generations had plenty of CD11b-positive blooding-making cells. After 20-day osteoblastic induction, mMSCs differentiated into bone cells, which showed orange phosphate in extracellular matrix by Alizarin red S staining. mMSCs could differentiate into lipocytes. The size of cells increased along with fat-developing induction period. These cells showed many orange fatty follicles with O Red Oil dyeing. Conclusion Pure mMSCs can not be retrieved by either adhering method or generation cultivation method separately. The combined methods of adhering, immunomagnetic microbeads, and serial subcultivation is effective in vitro in retrieve mMSCs.
