RESUMO
Cardial troponin I(cTnI)is the preferred serological marker for the diagnosis of myocardial injury.cTnI detection is based on antibody sandwich immunoassay.The epitopes of cTnI antigen targeted by detecting and capturing antibodies in different detection reagents are inconsistent,which easily leads to the heterogeneity of cTnI detection results.Endogenous interfering factors such as cTnI autoantibody,heterophile antibody,rheumatoid factor,ect,which can seriously interfere with the results of cTnI detection,and affecting the clinical diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of myocardial injury diseases.In this paper,the research progress of antibody sandwich immunoassay for cTnI and interference of endogenous factors on cTnI detection and solutions are reviewed to provide theoretical basis for differential diagnosis of abnormal cTnI detection results in clinical practice.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that cardiomyocyte apoptosis is closely related to cardiac decompensation and the cardiac aging process.Appropriate exercise can alter heart pump function in patients with heart failure as well as attenuate aging-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis,hypertrophy,and fibrotic damage. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of long-term aerobic exercise on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the thioredoxin system in aging rats. METHODS:Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected and divided into three age groups:3-month-old young group,9-month-old middle-aged group,and 18-month-old elderly group,with 12 rats in each group.Within each age group,rats were randomly assigned to sedentary and exercise subgroups(n=6 per group).The sedentary groups did not undergo any exercise intervention.The exercise groups were acclimated to a treadmill environment and subsequently subjected to treadmill exercise for 45 minutes per day,at a speed of 15 m/min,5 days per week for 10 weeks in total.At 24 hours after the final intervention,ELISA was employed to measure serum levels of cardiac troponin I and creatine kinase-MB in rats.TUNEL assay was utilized to detect cardiomyocyte apoptosis,while western blot assay was employed to assess the protein expression of Bax,Bcl-2,Caspase 3,thioredoxin-1,thioredoxin-2,thioredoxin reductase-1,thioredoxin reductase-2,thioredoxin-interacting protein,apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1,and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in rat myocardial tissue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Serum levels of cardiac troponin I and creatine kinase-MB in the elderly sedentary group were significantly higher than those in the young and middle-aged sedentary groups and elderly exercise group(P<0.01).Serum levels of cardiac troponin I and creatine kinase-MB in the elderly sedentary group were significantly higher than those in the young and middle-aged exercise groups and elderly exercise group(P<0.01).Positive apoptotic cells in rat myocardial tissue,along with increased protein expression of Bax and Caspase 3,exhibited an age-related upward trend,while Bcl-2 protein expression showed a declining trend.In comparison with the sedentary groups within each age category,the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes and the expression of Bax and Caspase 3 proteins were reduced to different degrees,and the expression of Bcl-2 protein was increased to different degrees in the corresponding exercise groups.Compared with the young sedentary group,middle-aged sedentary group and elderly exercise group,elderly sedentary rats showed a significant decrease in the expression of myocardial thioredoxin 1,thioredoxin 2,thioredoxin reductase 1,and thioredoxin reductase 2 proteins(P<0.05,P<0.01).The expression of myocardial thioredoxin 1,thioredoxin 2,and thioredoxin reductase 2 proteins was lower in the elderly exercise group than in the young exercise group(P<0.05,P<0.01),while the expression of thioredoxin reductase 1 and thioredoxin reductase 2 proteins was lower in the elderly exercise group than in the middle-aged exercise group(P<0.01).The protein expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein,apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1,and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in rat myocardium was significantly higher in the elderly sedentary group than the young sedentary group,middle-aged sedentary group and elderly exercise group(P<0.01).The protein expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein,apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1,and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in rat myocardium was significantly higher in the elderly exercise group than the young exercise group and middle-aged exercise group(P<0.01).To conclude,aerobic exercise may enhance the anti-apoptotic effects of thioredoxin by down-regulating the expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein in aging rat hearts,leading to the downregulation of apoptosis signal-regulated kinase 1 and P38 mitogen-activated kinase protein,thereby alleviating myocardial cell apoptosis in aging rat hearts.
RESUMO
The portable light-weight magnetic resonance imaging system can be deployed in special occasions such as Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and ambulances, making it possible to implement bedside monitoring imaging systems, mobile stroke units and magnetic resonance platforms in remote areas. Compared with medium and high field imaging systems, ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging equipment utilizes light-weight permanent magnets, which are compact and easy to move. However, the image quality is highly susceptible to external electromagnetic interference without a shielded room and there are still many key technical problems in hardware design to be solved. In this paper, the system hardware design and environmental electromagnetic interference elimination algorithm were studied. Consequently, some research results were obtained and a prototype of portable shielding-free 50 mT magnetic resonance imaging system was built. The light-weight magnet and its uniformity, coil system and noise elimination algorithm and human brain imaging were verified. Finally, high-quality images of the healthy human brain were obtained. The results of this study would provide reference for the development and application of ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging technology.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the correlation between glenohumeral joint congruence and stability in recurrent shoulder dislocations.@*METHODS@#Eighty-nine patients (89 sides) with recurrent shoulder dislocation admitted between June 2022 and June 2023 and met the selection criteria were included as study subjects. There were 36 males and 53 females with an average age of 44 years (range, 20-79 years). There were 40 cases of left shoulder and 49 cases of right shoulder. The shoulder joints dislocated 2-6 times, with an average of 3 times. The three-dimensional models of the humeral head and scapular glenoid were reconstructed using Mimics 20.0 software based on CT scanning images. The glenoid track (GT), inclusion index, chimerism index, fit index, and Hill-Sachs interval (HSI) were measured, and the degree of on/off track was judged (K value, the difference between HSI and GT). Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between the degree of on/off track (K value) and inclusion index, chimerism index, and fit index.@*RESULTS@#Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the K value had no correlation with the inclusion index ( P>0.05), and was positively correlated with the chimerism index and the fit index ( P<0.05). Regression equation was K=-24.898+35.982×inclusion index+8.280×fit index, R 2=0.084.@*CONCLUSION@#Humeral head and scapular glenoid bony area and curvature are associated with shoulder joint stability in recurrent shoulder dislocations. Increased humeral head bony area, decreased scapular glenoid bony area, increased humeral head curvature, and decreased scapular glenoid curvature are risk factors for glenohumeral joint stability.

RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the impact and interaction of Toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) and interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF-5) gene polymorphisms on the susceptibility to neonatal sepsis.Methods:A total of 78 cases of neonatal septicemia patients admitted to Baoding Children′s Hospital from July 2018 to August 2021 were prospectively selected as the study group, and 78 cases of healthy newborns in the same period were selected as the control group. The TLR2 and IRF-5 gene polymorphisms and the levels of inflammatory markers [C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)] in different genotypes of infants were compared between the two groups. We evaluated the relationship between TLR2 and IRF-5 genotypes, inflammatory markers, and susceptibility to neonatal sepsis, and analyzed the interaction between their gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to neonatal sepsis.Results:There were significant differences in the distribution of TLR2 (rs3804099) and IRF-5 (rs2004640) loci genotype and Allele frequency between the two groups (all P<0.05); The serum CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels in children with TLR2 (rs3804099) genotype TT genotype [(111.12±30.87)mg/L, (77.50±20.02)pg/ml, (40.27±11.31)pg/ml] were higher than those in children with CC/CT genotype [(72.46±24.51)mg/L, (54.18±17.65)pg/ml, (28.34±9.05)pg/ml], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The serum CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels [(113.90±28.94)mg/L, TNF-α (79.84±19.82)pg/ml, IL-6 (41.05±11.49)pg/ml] in children with the IRF-5 (rs2004640) TT genotype were higher than those in children with the GG/GT genotype [(70.88±22.16)mg/L, (52.27±16.73)pg/ml, (27.96±9.75)pg/ml], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The TT genotypes at TLR2 (rs3804099) and IRF-5 (rs2004640) loci were positively correlated with serum CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels (all P<0.05); The TT genotypes at TLR2 (rs3804099) and IRF-5 (rs2004640) loci were independent risk factors for susceptibility to neonatal sepsis (all P<0.05); The TT genotype at the TLR2 (rs3804099) locus and the TT genotype at the IRF-5 (rs2004640) locus exhibited a positive interaction in susceptibility to neonatal sepsis ( OR=7.467, γ=1.728). Conclusions:TLR2 (rs3804099) TT genotype and IRF-5 (rs2004640) TT genotype significantly increase the susceptibility to neonatal sepsis, and there is a positive interaction between the two.
RESUMO
Heart transplantation is one of the most effective strategies to treat end-stage heart failure. Multiple challenges, such as difficulty in preservation of heart allograft, rejection and postoperative complications, emerge in heart allotransplantation. After decades of research and practice, most problems have been resolved. Nevertheless, the shortage of donor organs has become increasingly prominent. To alleviate the shortage of donor organs, artificial heart and heart xenotransplantation have captivated attention, and obtained significant progress in recent years. The application of artificial heart in clinical practice has significantly enhanced the survival rate of patients with end-stage heart failure, which is expected to become the standard treatment for end-stage heart failure. Heart xenotransplantation still faces many challenges, which is still far from clinical application. In this article, the history of heart transplantation, development of heart allotransplantation, use of artificial heart and research progress on heart xenotransplantation were reviewed, and the future development direction of heart transplantation was predicted.

Objective:To observe the path and anatomic distribution of cutaneous branch of second dorsal metacarpal artery(SDMA) from the back of hand to the web of the fingers, and to explore the feasibility and clinical effect on the transfer of free flap of SDMA.Methods:Between June 2018 and September 2018, with perfusion of red latex, 22 hand specimens were dissected to explore the course, vessel calibre and distribution of cutaneous branches of SDMA, and to discover the existence of an innervation of cutaneous nerve in Department of Hand Surgery of Tangshan Second Hospital. Later on, from February 2019 to July 2020, 2 thumb pulp defects of 2 patients were reconstructed with the free flaps of SDMA. One defect was in the left thumb and the other in the right, both were male and compression injuries. Size of thumb pulp and a skin defect was at 3.5 cm×2.0 cm in 1 patient, and 2.0 cm×2.5 cm in the other. There was no neurovascular injury, but 1 patient had a distal phalangeal fracture and a nail bed laceration. The sizes of the flaps were 3.8 cm×2.3 cm and 2.8 cm×2.5 cm. Functional exercises started from 3 weeks after surgery. Patients attended postoperation follow up regularly by outpatient visit, telephone or internet interviews. Follow-up observations included the appearance, texture, sensory recovery of the flaps and thumb functions.Results:Multiple perforating branches (4-9 branches) were found from SDMA, which distributed in the distal 1/3 of SDMA in the anatomic study. It was found that the outer diameter of SDMA was 0.76 mm±0.25 mm at the intersection of extensor tendon of index finger and that of the digital web artery was 0.71 mm±0.12 mm. The length of digital web artery was 11.00 mm±1.27 mm. The 2 surgically transferred flaps were all survived. One patient showed the function of thumb in excellent with two-point discrimination (TPD) at 7.0 mm, at 18 months of follow-up. The other patient showed good thumb movement, soft and elastic skin of the flap and with a 7.5 mm in TPD, at 15 months of follow-up. According to the Evaluation Standard of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, the results of the 2 flaps were all excellent.Conclusion:The flap of SDMA has a constant cutaneous nerve and a long vascular pedicle with an ideal vessel size. It is suitable for free transfer and can be used to reconstruct soft tissue defects of thumb.
RESUMO
In colorectal cancer surgery, loop ileostomy is sometimes necessary to prevent anastomotic leakage. Although ileostomy reversal is relatively simple, postoperative complication is inevitable. In recent years, laparoscopic surgery has been gradually applied in ileostomy reversal due to its small trauma, fast recovery, and low complications, exhibiting satisfactory short-term outcomes. This review analyzes the application of the laparoscopic technique in ileostomy surgery and explores the potential of total laparoscopic surgery, aiming to provide a new perspective for the clinical application of laparoscopic ileostomy reversal.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES@#To study the relationship between early parenteral nutrient intake and the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants with gestational age less than 32 weeks who could not receive enteral nutrition within one week after birth.@*METHODS@#A retrospective study was conducted on preterm infants born between October 2017 and August 2022 with gestational age less than 32 weeks who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Children's Hospital of Soochow University within 24 hours after birth and relied solely on parenteral nutrition within the first week of life. The study population included 79 infants with BPD and 73 infants without BPD. Clinical data during hospitalization were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#The proportions of infants with weight loss of more than 10% after birth, extrauterine growth retardation, and parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis in the BPD group were higher than in the non-BPD group (P<0.05). The time to regain birth weight, time to achieve full enteral feeding, and corrected gestational age at discharge were longer in the BPD group than in the non-BPD group. The Z-scores of physical growth at corrected gestational age of 36 weeks were lower in the BPD group than in the non-BPD group (P<0.05). The BPD group had a higher fluid intake and a lower calories intake in the first week than the non-BPD group (P<0.05). The starting dose and total amount of amino acids, glucose, and lipids in the first week were lower in the BPD group than in the non-BPD group (P<0.05). The BPD group had a higher glucose-to-lipid ratio on the third day and higher energy-to-nitrogen and glucose-to-lipid ratios on the seventh day after birth than the non-BPD group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Preterm infants with BPD had lower intake of amino acids and lipids and a lower proportion of calories provided by amino acids and lipids in the first week of life, which suggests an association between early parenteral nutrition intake and the development of BPD.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between fracture line morphology, bone quality and fracture type in the posterior medial humeral talus of proximal humerus fractures.Methods:Retrospective analysis of CT data of patients with proximal humeral fractures diagnosed in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2021. Based on 3D reconstruction, the fracture line of the posterior medial humeral calcar was described, substituted into the proximal humeral template to depict the fracture map;and the coordinates of the turning point of the posterior medial fracture line were recorded, and the most concentrated coordinate interval was displayed using Matlab heat mapscript, substituted into the proximal humeral template to mark the area of concentration of the turning point of the fracture line. And according to the inclination angle of the humeral head to establish internal and external rotation and normal group, three groups of humeral distance posterior medial bone density, bone thickness and fracture horizontal line angle were performed and recorded by unordered multicategorical Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 62 patients with proximal humeral fractures were included; 21 (34%) were internally turned, 24 (39%) were externally turned and 17 (27%) were normal. Inversion: bone density 0.59±0.12 g/cm 3, bone thickness 2.33±0.48 mm, fracture horizontal line angle 4.54°±14.13°. Normal: Bone density 0.57±0.15 g/cm 3, bone thickness 2.60±0.33 mm, fracture level angle -1.87°±9.98°. Ectropion: bone density 0.62±0.11 g/cm 3, bone thickness 2.69±0.54 mm, fracture horizontal angle -5.64°±20.03°. Epiphyseal extension occurs most often posteriorly and medially, with the fracture line turning point located posterior to the greater tuberosity. Unordered multicategorical Logistic regression of the data showed that: inversion fracture horizontal line angle ( β=0.06, P=0.018), statistically significant, OR=1.06 [95% CI (1.00, 1.12)]; bone thickness ( β=-2.02, P=0.041), statistically significant, OR=0.13 [95% CI (0.03, 0.71)]; bone density ( β=-0.43, P=0.887), not statistically significant; none of the ectropion patterns were statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The trend of the fracture line and bone thickness of the posterior medial humeral calcar are factors that influence internal rotation of the humeral head. The incidence of internal rotation is positively correlated with the upward trend of the fracture line and negatively correlated with the thickness of the bone. The fracture line turning point is most often located posterior to the greater tuberosity.
RESUMO
Objective: To explore the clinical safety and feasibility of overlapped delta-shaped anastomosis (ODA) in totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRHC). Methods: From May 2017 to October 2019, of the 219 patients who underwent TLRHC at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Peking Union Medical College, 104 cases underwent ODA (ODA group) and 115 cases underwent conventional extracorporeal anastomosis (control group) were compared the surgical outcomes, postoperative recovery, pathological outcomes and perioperative complications. Results: The length of the skin incision in the ODA group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(5.6±0.9) cm vs. (7.1±1.7) cm, P<0.05], and the time to first flatus and first defecation after surgery in the ODA group was significantly earlier than that in the control group [(1.7±0.7) days vs. (2.0±0.7) days; (3.2±0.6) days vs. (3.3±0.7) days, P<0.05]. While the anastomosis time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, the time of first ground activities, the number of bowel movements within 12 days after surgery, postoperative hospital stay, tumor size, the distal and proximal margins, the number of lymph node harvested and postoperative TNM stage in the ODA group did not differ from that of the control group (P>0.05). The postoperative complication rates of patients in the ODA group and the control group were 3.8% (4/104) and 4.3% (5/115), respectively, and the difference was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: The application of ODA technology in TLRHC can significantly shorten thelength of skin incisionand the recovery time of bowel function, and can obtain satisfactory short-term efficacy.

Background and Objectives@#Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) show considerable promise in regenerative medicine. Many studies demonstrated that BMSCs cultured in vitro were highly heterogeneous and composed of diverse cell subpopulations, which may be the basis of their multiple biological characteristics. However, the exact cell subpopulations that make up BMSCs are still unknown. @*Methods@#and Results: In this study, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) to divide 6,514 BMSCs into three clusters. The number and corresponding proportion of cells in clusters 1 to 3 were 3,766 (57.81%), 1,720 (26.40%), and 1,028 (15.78%). The gene expression profile and function of the cells in the same cluster were similar. The vast majority of cells expressed the markers defining BMSCs by flow cytometry and gene expression analysis. Each cluster had at least 20 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We conducted Gene Ontology enrichment analysis on the top 20 DEGs of each cluster and found that the three clusters had different functions, which were related to self-renewal, multilineage differentiation and cytokine secretion, respectively. In addition, the function of the top 20 DEGs of each cluster was checked by the National Center for Biotechnology Information gene database to further verify our hypothesis. @*Conclusions@#This study indicated that scRNA-Seq can be used to divide BMSCs into different subpopulations, demon-strating the heterogeneity of BMSCs.
RESUMO
Objective:To determine whether subpopulations may exist which are related to regulation of immunization or inflammation in bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) from 2 elderly patients with hip fracture and whether there might be any difference in the subpopulations between them.Methods:Two elderly patients with hip fracture were enrolled in this study. Their venous blood was harvested to determine subpopulations of complement (C)3, C4, interleukins (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-10, and lymphocytes. Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) was used to group their BMMNCs. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed of the top 20 differentially expressed genes for each subpopulation to judge the main function of each subpopulation. The subpopulations and the key genes related to regulation of immunization or inflammation were found out. The relationships were explored between subpopulations and prognosis of the patients.Results:By the venous blood indexes, IL-10 was slightly high in patient A; C3 below normal, C4 close to the lower normal limit, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-10 were significantly high, CD8 +T % was low, and CD4 +/CD8 + high in patient B. After scRNA-Seq and bioinformatics analyses, the BMMNCs in the 2 patients were divided into 5 subpopulations. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that the functions of subpopulation 2 and subpopulation 4 were related to immunization or inflammation. CCL4, CCL5, LTB and CXCR4 in subpopulation 2 and C1QA, C1QB, CD14 and SPP1 in subpopulation 4 were related to the regulation of immunization or inflammation. The final prognosis of patient A was much better. The proportions of BMMNCs involved in subpopulation 2 and subpopulation 4 from patient A were higher than those from patient B [47.00% (1,431/3,045) versus 29.28% (882/3,012); 5.88% (179/3,045) versus 3.85% (116/3,012)]. Conclusions:The BMMNCs from elderly patients with hip fracture can be divided into subpopulations by scRNA-Seq. Some of the subpopulations may be related to regulation of immunization or inflammation, which may affect the post-injury immune inflammatory state and prognosis of the patients.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the expression of glutathione peroxidases 4 (GPX4) in colon adenocarcinoma and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients.Methods:The data set of colon adenocarcinoma was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to analyze the expression of GPX4 in colon adenocarcinoma tissues and its predictive value for overall survival (OS). A total of 93 colon adenocarcinoma tissues and 87 adjacent mucosa tissues after operation from November 2009 to May 2010 provided by the National Human Genetic Resources Sharing Service Platform were selected. The expression of GPX4 protein was detected by using tissue chip immunohistochemistry. The relations between the expression of GPX4 protein and the clinicopathological features and OS of colon adenocarcinoma patients were analyzed. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis. The nomogram for predicting OS rate was established and drawn.Results:The analysis of data from TCGA database showed that in 380 cases of colon adenocarcinoma, the expression of GPX4 in colon adenocarcinoma tissues were higher than that in the normal colonic mucosa tissues [the value of fragments per kilobase of exon per million fragments mapped (FPKM): 85.654 (20.351-356.237) vs. 56.230 (48.783-63.931)], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = -6.150, P<0.05). The OS in GPX4 high-expression group (FPKM ≥83.614) were poorer than that in GPX4 low-expression group (FPKM < 83.614) (median OS time: 84.40 months vs. 94.03 months, 5-year OS rate: 58.6% vs. 72.7%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Tissue chip immunohistochemical staining results show that the high-expression rate of GPX4 protein in colon adenocarcinoma tissues was higher than that in adjacent normal tissues [38.0% (35/92) vs. 7.3% (6/82)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 22.727, P<0.01); the high-expression rate of GPX4 protein in left colon adenocarcinoma tissues was higher than that in right colon adenocarcinoma tissues [47.2% (25/53) vs. 25.6% (10/39), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.42, P = 0.036); the 5-year OS rate of patients in GPX4 high-expression group was lower than that in GPX4 low-expression group (25.7% vs. 57.9%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 9.051, P<0.05). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis showed that lymph node metastasis (stage N 1-N 3) ( HR = 2.241, 95% CI 1.242-4.046, P = 0.007) and high expression of GPX4 ( HR = 2.783, 95% CI 1.598-4.848, P<0.01) were independent factors affecting the poor prognosis of colon adenocarcinoma patients. The above factors were used to establish a nomogram for predicting the prognosis of patients with colon adenocarcinoma, the C index was 0.739, indicating that the nomogram had good predictive performance. Conclusion:The expression of GPX4 is up-regulated in colon adenocarcinoma tissues, and its high expression is related to the malignant biological behavior of the tumor and poor prognosis.
RESUMO
@#Periodontitis is the inflammation of periodontal tissue caused by dental plaque, which absorbs the alveolar bone and cementum. The immune response triggered by CD4+T cells is the key factor for the aggravation of periodontitis. The activation of dendritic cells and the receptor activator of the NF-κB ligand (RANKL) pathway is an important link in the alveolar bone resorption of periodontal tissue. Pro-inflammatory factors such as interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) also play important roles in the development of periodontitis. Interleukin-37(IL-37), which is a newly discovered cytokine in the IL-1 family, has five shear variants from a to e, among which the clover β-structure encoded by exon 4 plays an important role in the binding of cytokines and the corresponding receptors. IL-37 has strong anti-inflammatory and inhibition of autoimmunity, can enter the nucleus with the help of caspase-1 and bind with Smad proteins to regulate the transcription of pro-inflammatory genes. Extracellular IL-37 can bind to IL-18 binding protein and inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory factors. IL-37 can inhibit the progression of periodontitis by inhibiting the RANKL signaling pathway, inhibiting the proliferation and differentiation of dendritic cells and CD4+T cells, binding to Smad proteins, and releasing pro-inflammatory factors such as IFN-γ and TNF-α. The IL-37 concentration in periodontal tissue can indicate the progression of periodontitis. Few studies have described the interaction between the anti-inflammatory factor IL-37 and periodontitis. Thus, in this paper, the structure and function of IL-37 and the related factors between IL-37 and periodontitis will be reviewed.
