Global Burden of Cardiovascular Disease Attributable to High Temperature in 204 Countries and Territories from 1990 to 2019 / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

OBJECTIVE@#This study aimed to estimate spatiotemporal variations of global heat-related cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden from 1990 to 2019.@*METHODS@#Data on the burden of heat-related CVD were derived from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were used to quantify heat-induced CVD burden. We calculated the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and DALY rate (ASDR) per 100,000 population to compare this burden across regions. Generalized linear models were applied to evaluate estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) for temporal trends from 1990 to 2019. The correlation between the socio-demographic index (SDI) and age-standardized rate was measured using the Spearman rank test.@*RESULTS@#Heat-induced CVD caused approximately 90 thousand deaths worldwide in 2019. Global ASMR and ASDR of heat-related CVD in 2019 were 1.17 [95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.13-1.98] and 25.59 (95% CI: 2.07-44.17) per 100,000 population, respectively. The burden was significantly increased in middle and low-SDI regions and slightly decreased in high-SDI regions from 1990 to 2019. ASMR showed an upward trend, with the most considerable increase in low-latitude countries. We observed a negative correlation between SDI and EAPC in ASMR ( r s = -0.57, P < 0.01) and ASDR ( r s = -0.59, P < 0.01) among 204 countries.@*CONCLUSION@#Heat-attributable CVD burden substantially increased in most developing countries and tropical regions.

Core in jingjin diagnosis and treatment: yizhi weishu / 中国针灸

Jingjin (muscle region of meridian) is a distal diagnosis and treatment system of the sinew/fascia disorders on the base of the concept of jin in TCM. Jin should be a particular palpable structure rather than a single anatomic structure with a specific distributing course. Yizhi weishu refers to a idea running through the whole process of diagnosis and treatment of sinew/fascia disorders, in which, the results, obtained by the overall observation and palpation of patient's sinew/fascia structure, are taken as the criteria of treatment. Yitong weishu (taking the sites of sensitivity or tenderness as the points) verifies this idea in practice. Under the guidance of yizhi weishu, through identifying the primary from the secondary, and regulating yin and yang, the spasticity and flaccidity of sinews/fascia can be cured and the induced diseases treated. The diagnosis and treatment system of jingjin, based on yizhi weishu, develops the original jingjin theory with vague concept involved, formulates a systematic thinking of treatment for sinew/fascia disorders and provides a new approach to clinical treatment.

Qirong Tablets inhibits apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells via PI3K/Akt/ HIF-1 signaling pathway / 中国中药杂志

This study aims to observe the effect and explore the mechanism of Qirong Tablets in the treatment of premature ovarian insufficiency(POI) in mice via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)/hypoxia inducible factor 1(HIF-1) signaling pathway. Sixty SPF female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive control group, Qirong Tablets low-, medium-and high-dose group. The normal group was intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of normal saline, and the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with cyclophosphamide 120 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) once to establish a POI animal model. After the model was successfully established, the low-, medium-and high-dose groups of Qirong Tablets were administered orally with 0.6, 1.2, 2.4 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) respectively. The positive control group was given 0.22 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) Clementine Tablets by intragastric administration, and the normal group and model group were given intragastric administration with the same amount of normal saline, and the treatment was 28 d as a course of treatment. After drug intervention, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of estradiol(E_2), follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), luteinizing hormone(LH), and anti-mullerian hormone(AMH) in peripheral blood, and hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining to observe the ovarian tissue. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) assay was used to detect the apoptosis of granulosa cells, and Western blot to determine the expression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax), caspase-3, PI3K, Akt, and HIF-1. Compared with the normal group, the modeling of POI caused loose or destroyed ovarian tissue with vacuolar structures, edema and fibrosis in the ovarian interstitium, disordered or loose arrangement of granulosa cells, and reduced normal follicles. Compared with the model group, drug interventions restored the ovarian tissue and follicles at all the development stages and reduced atretic follicles. Compared with the normal group, the modeling of POI lowered the serum level of E_2 and AMH(P<0.01), and elevated the level of FSH and LH(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, high-dose Qirong Tablets elevated the levels of E_2 and AMH(P<0.05), and lowered the levels of FSH and LH(P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the modeling of POI up-regulated the protein levels of PI3K, Akt, HIF-1, Bax, and caspase-3 and down-regulated the protein level of Bcl-2 in the ovarian tissue(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose Qirong Tablets down-regulated the protein levels of PI3K, Akt, HIF-1, Bax, and caspase-3 proteins and up-regulated the protein level of Bcl-2 in the ovarian tissue(P<0.05). In conclusion, Qirong Tablets can up-regulate the expression Bcl-2, down-regulate the expression of Bax and caspase-3 in POI mice. Qirong Tablets may inhibit the apoptosis of follicular granulosa cells in mice, thereby delaying ovarian aging, improving reproductive axis function, and strengthening ovarian reserve capacity, which may be associated with the inhibition of PI3K/Akt/HIF-1 pathway.

Recent progress of nanoparticle-enabled modulation of macrophages for cancer immunotherapy / 药学学报

Macrophages play an important role in maintaining homeostasis of the body, and they are also one of the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). These macrophages are often called tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which play an important role in the development of tumor and are an important target for tumor therapy. Studies have shown that tumor growth and metastasis can be inhibited by regulating the function of macrophages, but the therapeutic efficacy was often hampered by the poor performance of the drugs such as lack of targeting, poor solubility, low bioavailability, and severe side effects. After introduction of the background of macrophage and tumor therapy, this review focuses on the research progress of nano-drug delivery systems in the modulation of the function of macrophages to enhance tumor immunotherapy. Nano-drug delivery systems are diverse in structures and functions, and can regulate macrophage functions through a variety of mechanisms. Four important aspects of macrophage modulation, which included TAMs depletion, repolarization of TAMs, promoted phagocytosis of TAMs, and combinational modulation of TAMs were summarized. Each strategy together with typical examples was reviewed and future directions in this field were also prospected.

Interaction of MicroRNAs and Endoplasmic Reticulum StressSignaling Pathways / 中国生物化学与分子生物学报

Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is a cellular defensive response to restore homeostasisand reduce the protein load. Over-activation of ERS can induce cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) thatregulate the expression of key proteins and genes in the ERS signaling pathway through post-transcriptional action. Meanwhile, activated ERS signaling pathway can indirectly regulate the expressionand function of target genes by decreasing miRNA stability. Based on a brief introduction of ERS classicalsignaling pathways, this paper further elaborated how microRNAs regulate ERS signaling pathways topromote apoptosis and proliferation, and what effect they would have on the expression profile of diseasesbased on this association. We also summarize the regulation of ERS on miRNAs expression and thecurrent research status. The mutual regulation between the two could provide a new idea for the follow-upresearch on the therapeutic targets of diseases.

Solute carrier transporters: the metabolic gatekeepers of immune cells

Solute carrier (SLC) transporters meditate many essential physiological functions, including nutrient uptake, ion influx/efflux, and waste disposal. In its protective role against tumors and infections, the mammalian immune system coordinates complex signals to support the proliferation, differentiation, and effector function of individual cell subsets. Recent research in this area has yielded surprising findings on the roles of solute carrier transporters, which were discovered to regulate lymphocyte signaling and control their differentiation, function, and fate by modulating diverse metabolic pathways and balanced levels of different metabolites. In this review, we present current information mainly on glucose transporters, amino-acid transporters, and metal ion transporters, which are critically important for mediating immune cell homeostasis in many different pathological conditions.

Emergency irradiation with 3.4 Gy/2f in sellar/suprasellar germinoma patients with rapid visual acuity decline / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Rapid visual acuity (VA) decline was a common complaint in patients with sellar/suprasellar germinoma. In our hospital, 3.4 Gy/2f of emergency irradiation was applied to save patient VA and enable subsequent chemoradiotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of emergency irradiation with 3.4 Gy/2f in patients with sellar/suprasellar germinoma who had rapid VA decline.@*METHODS@#From January 2014 to December 2017, 33 patients with sellar/suprasellar germinoma who complained of VA decline within 3 months received 3.4 Gy/2f of emergency irradiation in Beijing Tiantan Hospital. The best-corrected VA (BCVA) and mean deviation (MD) were measured. Correlations between visual function change and clinical factors, including age at diagnosis, duration of VA decline, extent of tumor regression, serum level of tumor markers, were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Among 33 patients with sellar/suprasellar germinoma, the median diameter and volume of sellar/suprasellar lesions were 32 mm (range: 5-55 mm) and 12.9 cm (range 0.6-58.5 cm), respectively. Data on pre- and post-emergency-irradiation BCVA were obtained in 32 patients. For the right eyes, BCVA was improved in 23 patients (71.9%), unchanged in 7 (21.9%), and worsened in 2 (6.2%); and for the left eyes, these numbers were 27 (84.4%), 4 (12.5%), and 1 (3.1%), respectively. In terms of the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution = Log (1/BCVA) score, the improvement was significant in both eyes (P < 0.001). In terms of MD, six patients had paired data and the improvement was marginal in the right eyes (P = 0.068) and significant in the left eyes (P = 0.043). However, no clinical factor was found to have correlation with visual function improvement.@*CONCLUSION@#In sellar/suprasellar germinoma patients with VA decline, 3.4 Gy/2f of emergency irradiation was effective in improving visual function.

Ultrastructure Characteristics of Different Chinese Medicine Syndromes of Helicobacter pylori-Correlated Gastric Diseases / 中国结合医学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the ultrastructure characteristics of patients with dampness-heat of Pi (Spleen)-Wei (Stomach) syndrome (DHPW) and Pi-qi deficiency syndrome (PQD), both of which are Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-correlated gastric diseases (HPCG), and implicate a helpful hint for the clinical microcosmic syndrome differentiation.@*METHODS@#Fourteen gastric mucosa samples from 6 chronic gastritis (CG) and 6 active peptic ulcer (including 8 DHPW, 4 PQD) as well as 2 healthy volunteers were collected and tested for Hp infection. The ultrastructure of gastric mucosa was observed under the transmission electron microscope (TEM).@*RESULTS@#Among 14 gastric mucosa samples, 8 of them were Hp positive (6 DHPW and 2 PQD), which were all accordance with the results screened by supermicro-pathological method. Under TEM, the normal gastric mucosa, with tidy microvilli and abundant in mucus granules, mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum distributed evenly, and with smooth nucleus membrane. But in those specimens of DHPW with Hp infection, microvilli were presented with burr shape. Especially, those samples from dampness-heat syndrome with predominant heat type (DHSH) patients were more obvious, with microvilli damaged, mitochondria concentrated and distributed in disorder, secretory tubule extended. In dampness-heat syndrome with predominant dampness type (DHSD) patients, mucus granules aggregated obviously, mitochondria swelled and blurred, and rough endoplasmic reticulum crowded. For 2 samples of DHPW without Hp infection, their microvilli were intact, with mitochondria increased and gathered but well-distributed, and secretory tubule extended mildly. In 2 PQD patients with Hp positive, the specimens of microvilli were sparse, and their mucus granules and mitochondria were decreased, with fractured crests and vacuole, secretory tubules extension to nucleus membrane, and rough endoplasmic reticulum extension in a pool-like way, and nucleus condensed. The 2 samples from PQD patients without Hp infection were characterized with intact microvilli, decreased mitochondria, fractured crest and extended rough endoplasmic reticulum in a pool-like way.@*CONCLUSION@#It's obviously different in ultrastructure of DHPW and PQD patients under TEM, which may give a helpful hint for the microcosmic syndrome differentiation of HPCG.

Objective To investigate clinical effects and prognostic factors of transabdominal laparoscopic-assisted and open radical resection for Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG).Methods The retrospective cohort and case-control studies were conducted.The clinicopathologieal data of 84 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2014 to January 2017 were collected.Among 84 patients,42 undergoing transabdominal laparoscopic-assisted radical gastectomy (LARG) were allocated into LARG group and 42 undergoing transabdominal open radical gastectomy (ORG) were allocated into ORG group.Observation indicators:(1) comparison of intraoperative and postoperative recovery situations between groups;(2)comparison of follow-up and survival situations between groups;(3) prognostic analysis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative survival situations,tumor recurrence and metastasis of patients up to January 2018.Measurement data with normal distribution were representde as-x±s,and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Comparison of count data were analyzed using the ehi-square test or Fisher exact probability.Ordinal data were compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U nonparametric test.The survival rate and curve were respectively calculated and drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method,and Log-rank test was used for survival and univariate analyses.Multivariate analysis was done by COX proportional hazard model.Results (1) Comparison of intraoperative and postoperative recovery situations between groups:patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG in the LARG and ORG group underwent successful transabdominal radical resection,without conversion to thoracotomy.All patients in the LARG group underwent esophagojejunostomy with circular stapler device,38 and 4 patients in the ORG group underwent esophagojejunostomy with circular stapler and linear cut stapler respectively.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,length of incision,time of postoperative analgesia,cases with anastomotic bleeding,anastomotic leakage,abdominal bleeding,incisional infection,pulmonary infection,abdominal infection and reflux esophagitis of grade Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ postoperative complications and duration of postoperative stay were respectively (261±50)minutes,(119±111)mL,(7.8±1.6)cm,(2.1±1.3)days,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,(12.8 ± 1.9) days in LARG group and (216 ± 52) minutes,(230± 178) mL,(17.3± 1.8) cm,(3.4±1.2)days,2,0,2,2,2,1,2,(18.4±15.3)days in ORG group,with statistically significances between groups (t =2.357,2.960,2.195,2.013,x2 =5.486,t =2.125,P＜0.05).All patients with complications were improved by symptomatic treatment.(2) Comparison of follow-up and survival situations between groups:81 of 84patients including 41 in LARG group and 40 in ORG group were followed up for 6-48 months,with a median time of 29 months.The postoperative 2-year overall and tumor-free survival rates were respectively 85.1％ and 82.1％ of 41 patients in LARG group and 83.1％ and 79.3％ of 40 patients in ORG group,with no statistically significance between groups (x2 =0.013,0.049,P＞0.05).(3) Prognostic analysis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection:results of univariate analysis showed that tumor diameter,tumor TNM staging,tumor T staging,tumor N staging and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were related factors affecting prognosis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection (x2 =8.349,14.376,9.732,17.250,8.012,P＜0.05).Results of multivariate analysis showed that tumor TNM staging and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were independent factors affecting prognosis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection (risk ratio =4.305,0.031,95％ confidence interval:1.858-9.977,0.004-0.246,P＜0.05).Conclusions Transabdominal laparoscopicassisted radical resection for AEG is safe and feasible,with advantage of minimally invasiveness,having equivalent long-term effects compared to open surgery.Tumor TNM staging and postoperative chemotherapy are independent factors affecting prognosis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection.

Evaluation on changes of white matter microstructure in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders with tract-based spatial statistics / 中国医学影像技术

Objective To assess the changes of white matter microstructure in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) with DTI based on tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) method.Methods Conventional MR and DTI were performed in 20 NMOSD patients (NMOSD group) and 20 healthy volunteers (control group).DTI data were analyzed with TBSS procedure,which was a part of FSL software packages,and non-parametric statistical analysis was performed on the whole brain.Correlation between FA value of tracts with significant difference in NMOSD group and expanded disability status scale (EDSS) scores was analyzed.Results TBSS analysis revealed significantly (P＜ 0.05,FWE corrected) extensive decrease of FA value in cerebrum and cerebellum white matter fiber bundles,i.e.corpus callosum,fornix,corticospinal tract,unciform fasciculus,cerebellar peduncles etc.in NMOSD group,and decrease of AD value,increase of RD value in cingulum bundle,corpus callosum and fornix,while MD value only increased in fornix and retrolenticular part of the left internal capsule (P＜0.05,FWE corrected).Negative correlations were found between FA value of left uncinate fasciculus,right external capsule,left inferior cerebellar peduncle,bilateral anterior limb of internal capsule,medial lemniscus and EDSS scores (all P＜0.05).Conclusion Widespread white matter damage is observed in cerebrum and cerebellum in NMOSD patients by using TBSS analysis,which may partly correspond to the disabilities of NMOSD patients.However,the other microstructural changes of white matter tracts may suggest complicated pathological mechanism of NMOSD.

I-Evans blue: evaluation of necrosis targeting property and preliminary assessment of the mechanism in animal models

Necrosis is a form of cell death, which is related to various serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration. Necrosis-avid agents (NAAs) selectively accumulated in the necrotic tissues can be used for imaging and/or therapy of related diseases. The aim of this study was to preliminarily investigate necrosis avidity of I-evans blue (I-EB) and its mechanism. The biodistribution of I-EB at 24 h after intravenous administration showed that the radioactivity ratio of necrotic to viable tissue was 3.41 in the liver and 11.82 in the muscle as determined by counting in model rats. Autoradiography and histological staining displayed preferential uptake of I-EB in necrotic tissues. nuclear extracts from necrotic cells exhibited 82.3% of the uptake in nuclei at 15 min, as well as 79.2% of the uptake at 2 h after I-EB incubation. The DNA binding study demonstrated that evans blue (EB) has strong binding affinity with calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) (=5.08×10 L/(mol/L)). Furthermore, the accumulation of I-EB in necrotic muscle was efficiently blocked by an excess amount of unlabeled EB. In conclusion, I-EB can not only detect necrosis by binding the DNA released from necrotic cells, but also image necrotic tissues generated from the disease clinically.
