RÉSUMÉ

Background & objectives: Recently, there has been a surge to develop new devices and techniques for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions such as the combination of LungPoint navigation and endobronchial ultrasound with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS). The present study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of LungPoint navigation in combination with EBUS-GS and rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) particularly for peripheral pulmonary nodules. Methods: Patients (n=108) with pulmonary nodules (10 mm ? nodal diameter ?30 mm) presenting to Henan Provincial People’s Hospital were detected using chest computed tomographic (CT) scanning and bronchoscopy. All patients were evaluated using LungPoint navigation, EBUS-GS and ROSE techniques to evaluate the positive rate of combined diagnosis using the three methods. Results: A total of 108 patients participated in this study and successfully underwent all the three procedures. Of these, 82 patients were accurately diagnosed, making the overall diagnostic rate of 75.9 per cent for combined LungPoint navigation, EBUS-GS, and ROSE analyses. Further subgroup analysis of the diagnostic rate of the three combined techniques were conducted based on the size of the nodules which showed a diagnostic rate of 65.3 per cent for 10 mm ? nodule diameter ?20 mm and 85.7 per cent for 20 mm ? nodal diameter ?30 mm. Of the 108 patients, 85 had solid nodules and 23 had ground-glass nodules; the positive rate of diagnosis of solid nodules was the highest. The patients ultimately were diagnosed with lung cancer with a positive rate of 83.5 per cent. The sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predicted values for ROSE were 90.3, 78.3, 84.8 and 83.6 per cent, respectively. Interpretation & conclusions: The combined use of the three techniques can effectively shorten the duration of the total diagnosis period and improve the safety of diagnosis without affecting the detection rate.

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the temperature field distribution and variation rules during treatment with mild moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion of TCM.@*METHODS@#Six healthy subjects were selected. Mild moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion were exerted at Zusanli (ST 36) respectively, for 25 min. Using infrared thermal imaging instrument, the temperature field distribution was measured during moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36). The simulated thermometer was adopted to measure the temperature field distribution during moxibustion at the imitated cortex. At 20 min of mild moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion, the temperature field distribution generated by moxibustion was observed at the imitated cortex and Zusanli (ST 36) separately. The temperature values were collected at the sites 0.7, 2.1 and 3.5 cm far from the center of the moxibustion-exerted places successively, and then the characteristics of temperature field distribution and variation rules were compared between different moxibustion methods at the imitated cortex and Zusanli (ST 36).@*RESULTS@#At 20 min of mild moxibustion and sparrow-pecking moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36), the temperature field distribution focused on the center of moxibustion-exerted site and the temperature was reduced to all directions and illustrated as a curved surface graph, whereas, the temperature field distribution at the imitated cortex was consistent with that at Zusanli (ST 36). With mild moxibustion, the temperature field was distributed uniformly along the longitudinal temperature gradient; whereas, with sparrow-pecking moxibustion, the longitudinal temperature of the temperature field was greatly different, in which, the maximum temperature and the average temperature were higher than those with mild moxibustion respectively and the first time up to the peak value of sparrow-pecking moxibustion was shorter than that with mild moxibustion. The thermal transfer was presented at the non-moxibustion exerted areas during the moxibustion experiment at Zusanli (ST 36).@*CONCLUSION@#A distance feature is presented in the temperature field measured by simulated thermometer and generated under suspension moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36). The warm stimulation effect of sparrow-pecking moxibustion is much more obvious at the moxibustion-exerted center as compared with mild moxibustion and the area of warm stimulation generated by sparrow-pecking moxibustion is more concentrated as compared with mild moxibustion. The radiation energy produced by suspension moxibustion is scattered and attenuated in skin tissue, resulting in a certain temperature gradient in the temperature field. The warm stimulation generated at skin surface by moxibustion has a warming-dredging effect.

RÉSUMÉ

Objective Pulmonary function testing is a commonly used indicator for clinical evaluation of the degree of pulmonary fibrosis in patients. This paper aims to investigate the dynamic changes of lung function in mice with pulmonary fibrosis and to establish a range of reference values for lung function parameters in normal Kunming mice. Methods Twenty-eight SPF Kunming mice were randomly divided into normal control group (n=14) and model group (n=14). After anesthesia with 10% chloral hydrate, the normal control group only underwent tracheal puncture. The model group received intratracheal puncture and injection of bleomycin (BLM) (5 mg/kg body weight), and the lung function indicators of all mice were detected in the same order on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th weekends after modeling: Ti, Te, PIF, PEF, TV, EV, RT, MV, f, Penh and EF50. Results After intratracheal BLM injection, mice in the model group showed decreased hair softness and smoothness, hair loss and decreased activity after the 2nd week. Compared with the control group, Ti, Te and RT values in the model group significantly increased at week 4 (P<0.05), while the values of PEF, RT, MV, f and EF50 decreased significantly at the same week (P<0.05). Compared with the model group at week 1, the differences in Ti, Te, RT and f values at week 2, 3 and 4 were statistically significant (P<0.05); the differences in MV and EF50 values at week 3 and 4 were statistically significant (P<0.05); while the PIF values only showed differences at week 4 (P<0.001). Compared with the Penh values in the control group at week 2, 3 and 4 (0.553±0.189, 0.662±0.164, 0.712±0.189), the differences of the model group (0.820±0.205, 0.936±0.188, 1.053±0.236) showed statistical significance (P<0.001). Compared with the model group at week 1, the differences of Penh values in the model group only showed statistical significance at week 3 and 4 (P<0.05). Through four-week lung function test, various parameters were obtained, among which the normal range of the main index Penh value was 0.27-0.88. Conclusion The lung function detected by the non-invasive whole body plethysmography system was stable and reliable with good effects; the lung function in mice with the BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis continued to decrease within four weeks. Penh, which reflects airway resistance, can be used for overall screening of the lung function among the test mice after two weeks of modeling.

Objective To investigate different expression levels between young and old bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in microRNAs (miRNAs) that are significantly conserved between humans and mice.Additional studies have been conducted to discover changes in miRNA expression in old mice relative to that in young adults and discussed the roles of miRNAs in primary osteoporosis.Methods MiRNAs that are highly conserved between human and mice,and are expressed at significantly different levels in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of young and old people were identified by searching the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.Human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) were transfected with miRNA mimics,and their relative alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity levels were then determined.Micro-CT scanning was employed to quantitatively characterize cortical and cancellous bones of young and old mice,and to confirm that these mice accurately modeled natural aging osteoporosis.Simultaneously,we investigated differences in expression levels of miRNAs that influence ALP activity in hBMSCs in the two groups of mice.Correlations between miRNA expression levels,and parameters of bone mass and bone strength were studied.Results 28 miRNAs were found to be more than 2 fold up-regulated (down-regulated) with statistical significance (P<0.05) in the GEO database.We also found that ALP activity was lower in hBMSCs transfected with 4 miRNAs (mir-124-3p,mir-126-3p,mir-128-3p,mir-424-5p,P<0.05 or P< 0.01).The micro-CT scans indicated that the mice are accurately modeled natural aging osteoporosis.Expression of mir-124-3p increased significantly in older mice.This upregulation correlated positively with trabecular separation,and negatively with trabecular pattern factor in trabecular bone.However,in cortical bone,its expression correlated positively with trabecular separation,and negatively with bone volume fraction,trabecular number,and bone mineral density (P< 0.05).Conclusion Hsa-mir-124-3p,which is expressed differently in young and old bone marrow stromal cells,inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs.Upregulation of this miRNA in the bone tissue of aged mice may be related to the development of osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of vertebral fractures in the elderlys in Shanghai community. Methods Stratified sampling was performed according to the age distribution of the population in 3 urban and 2 suburban communities in Shanghai, and a total of 2 929 old people aged over 65 years were enrolled. The thoracic and lumbar radiographs and questionnaires were obtained in all the participants. The diagnosis of vertebral fractures were evaluated using Genant′s semi-quantitative method, and the prevalence of vertebral fracture was calculated. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of vertebral fracture. Results ( 1) The prevalence of vertebral fractures in community-dwelling elderly was 14.4%totally,and 20.1%in individuals above 80 years old,which was significantly higher than the others (P<0.05). The prevalence of vertebral fractures in females was significantly higher than that in males (18.5%vs 12.4%, P<0.05). (2) The most common vertebral fracture sites were T12 and L1. Grade 1 vertebral fracture was most common in our cohort. The proportions of grade 2 and grade 3 were significant higher in females than that in males (30.6% vs 17.0%, P<0.05). (3) Gender and sex had an interaction effect on the prevalence of vertebral fractures. Prevalence of vertebral fractures increased steadily with age in both genders, although the gradient was steeper for women (P<0.001). (4) Logistic regression analysis showed that: female, age, parental hip fracture history, previous fracture history, and alcohol consumption were risk factors of vertebral fractures in community elderly. Smoking, long-term use of glucocorticoid, various diseases associated with secondary osteoporosis had no significant correlation with vertebral fracture. Conclusion The vertebral fractures were more common and serious in women than in men in community elderly. Age was significantly correlated with the presence of vertebral fracture in women than that in men. Female, age, parental hip fracture history, previous fracture history, and alcohol consumption were risk factors of vertebral fractures in community elderlys.

correlation with cross-sectional area and negative correlation with bucking ratio. The effect of fat mass on hip geometric parameters at the three regions was inconsistent. (3) Fat mass and percentage of body fat ( Fat%) showed negative correlation with cross-sectional area and average cortical thickness and positive correlation with bucking ratio in young group. However, the negative contribution produced by fat mass and Fat% to hip geometric structure became weaker gradually in middle-aged and older groups. ( 4 ) Limb lean mass yielded the largest positive contribution to cross-sectional area and average cortical thickness at all three regions in young group. However, the contribution produced by trunk lean mass became the largest positive contribution to cross-sectional area and average cortical thickness in older group. Conclusions Among all the body composition parameters, hip BMD has showed the most marked correlation with hip geometric structure. Lean mass is ranked the second in the correlation. The impacts of fat mass and lean mass on hip geometry are changing with aging and their different tissue distributions.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Histone deacetylase inhibitors can regulate gene expression through modulation of the degree of acetylation of histone and non-histone, thus affecting cell proliferation, survival and chemosensitivity. Histone deacetylase inhibitors combined with paclitaxel may enhance the inhibitory effect of drugs on lung cancer cells. This study aimed to observe the effect of trichostatin A (TSA)/paclitaxel on the proliferation and apoptosis in human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, and to investigate its mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A549 cells were cultured in Dulbecco modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) in the presence of paclitaxel and the histone deacetylase inhibitor TSA, and the growth curve was obtained by trypan-blue exclusion assay and cell count. Apoptosis was assessed using Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry analysis, and cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry analysis. The proteins poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), caspase-3, survivin, and tubulin acetylation were detected by Western blotting.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A significant reduction of proliferation was observed in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells treated by paclitaxel or TSA.

Objective To investigate bone health conditions in 1637 aged women. Methods From May 2004 to October 2008, Bone mineral density (BMD) of 1637 women at age of more than 60 years old were measured by Hologic DephiA dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXEA) in Huadong hospital affiliated to Fudan University. All data were compared and analyzed among each group which will be divided by every ten years. Those women were divided into groups on 10 years range. BMD of lumbar vertebral and hip bone,fracture incidence and bone turnover marker were compared and analyzed. Results (1) BMD: at age of 3=90, 80 - 89, 70 - 79, 60 - 69, BMD of the lumbar vertebral 2 - 4(L2-4) values were (0. 96 ± 0. 18),(0. 90 ± 0. 20) , (0. 81 ± 0. 16) , (0. 83 ± 0. 14) g/cm2 , respectively. There were significantly increased BMD of lumbar of women at the age of 80 - 89 and ≥90 year-old compared with those of 60 - 69 year-old (P<0. 05). At age of ≥90,80 -89,70-79,60 -69 BMD of femur neck, Total, Torch, Ward's trianger were(0. 60 ±0. 11) , (0. 65 ±0. 11) ,(0. 47 ±0. 09) ,(0. 37 ±0. 09) g/cm2; at age of 80 -89 BMD of FN,Total, Torch, Ward's trianger were(0. 57 ±0. 10) , (0. 68 ±0. 13) , (0. 48 ±0. 11) , (0. 35 ±0. 10) g/cm2;at age of 70-79 BMD of FN, Total, Torch, Ward's trianger were (0.57±0. 10) ,(0. 69 ±0. 12), (0.49± 0. 10) , (0. 36 ± 0. 11) g/cm2; at age of 60 - 69 BMD of FN, Total, Torch, Ward's trianger were (0. 63 ± 0. 10) , (0. 76 ±0. 12) , (0. 54 ±0. 10), (0. 45 ±0. 15) g/cm2; There were significantly decreased in BMD of hip at the age of 70 - 79, 80 - 89,≥90 year-old compared with those of 60 - 69 year-old (P < 0. 05).(2) Fracture incidence: one time fracture incidence at age of 60 - 69,70 - 79,80 - 89, ≥ 90 were 34. 8 % (242/695) ,45. 0% (296/658) ,51. 3% (137/267) ,5/17. There were increasing trend of fracture in aged women. (3) Bone turnover marker of bone Gla protein (BGP) N-mid(N-midBGP) in serum and C-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen/Cr (CTX/Cr) in urine values were (17 ±5) μg/L, (106 ±56) μg/mmol at age of more than 90 years ,(17 ±7) (μg/L,(128 ±99)μg/mmol at age of 80-89 years,(21 ± 14) μg/L,(182 ± 173)μg/mmol at age of 70-79 years, (25±13)μg/L, (190 ± 168)μg/mmol at age of 60 - 69 years. There were significant decreased trends of N-midBGP at age of 70 -79,80 -89 compared with that of 60-year (P < 0. 05). There were significant decreased trends of CTX/Cr 80 - 89 compared with that of 60-year (P < 0. 05). Conclusions There were significant decreased bone metabolism in aged women. The risk of hip fracture is significantly increased in aged women. Diagnosis of osteoporosis based on BMD of hip in aged women is more reliable.

RÉSUMÉ

To investigate the effects and the mechanism of visfatin on MIN6 cell signaling pathway and apoptosis induced by palmitate.Human recombinant visfatin promotes protein kinase B (Akt) and extracellularsignal regulating kinase (ERK)1/2 phosphorylation in dose-and time-dependent manner,and prevents MIN6 cell from apoptosis induced by palmitate (P<0.05 or P<0.01).The activation of Akt and ERK1/2 signaling pathway may be one of the molecular mechanisms of visfatin.

RÉSUMÉ

Objective To investigate the effects of differentiated 3T3-L1 adipoeytes on inflammation of rat islet cells,as well as the protective effect of a-lipoic acid on the inflammation in vitro.Methotis Rat islet cells were divided into three groups:the control group,the experimental co-culture system group(cocuhured with differentiated mature 3T3-LI adipoeytes)and the intervention group (cocuhured with mature 3T3-LI adipocytes containing 4 μg/ml a-lipoic acid).Insulin releasing lest wag performed for estinmting the function of islet cells in culture supernatant of difierent groups.At the same time,the expression level of IKKIβin islet cells Was detected by western blot and realtime PCR.Results There was significant decrease of insulin stimulation index (SI) in experimental co-culture system group compared with the control group and intervention group(1.0 ±0.1 vs 2.6±0.2,2.5±0.5 respectively;P<0.01),while,the mRNA(4.62±0.60 vs1.00±0.46 and 2.25±0.75;P<0.01)and protein expression of IKKβ were significandy increased in the experimental group as compared with the other two groups.Conclusions In the co-culture system of adipocytes/islet cells,impaired function of islet cells could be induced by IKKβ activation,IKKβ Was a key molecule in inflamnmtion signal pathway in islet cells and could be activated by 3T3-LI adipocytes.a-lipoic acid Was able to reverse the impaired function of islet cells by suppressing IKKβ expression.

RÉSUMÉ

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum uric acid ( SUA) concentration and urinary albumin excretion rate ( UAER) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitua (T2DM). Methods The clinical data of 372 patients with T2DM. including 184 males and 188 females, were collected. The correlations between SUA and the other clinical indexes were analysed by Pearson method, and multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the effects of various factors on UAER and CIMT. Results SUA concentration was higher in males than in females with T2DM (P <0. 01). and was positively correlated with UAER both in males and females with T2DM, even after adjustment for the creatinine clearance (r = 0.24, P < 0.01 for males; r = 0. 29, P < 0.01 for females). Positive correlation was found between SUA concentration and CIMT in females (r =0. 29, P < 0. 01). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that SUA concentration was an independent determinant of UAER for males as well as females (β=0.16, P<0.05 for males; β=0. 20, P < 0. 05 for females), and was also an independent determinant of CIMT for females (β =0.16, P <0.05). Conclusion SUA plays an important role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy and cardiovascular diseases in patients with T2DM. SUA control may provide a novel approach for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy and vascular complications.
