Background/Aims@#Cholestatic liver diseases including primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) are associated with active hepatic fibrogenesis, which ultimately progresses to cirrhosis. Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the main fibrogenic effectors in response to cholangiocyte damage. JCAD regulates cell proliferation and malignant transformation in nonalcoholic steatoheaptitis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (NASH-HCC). However, its participation in cholestatic fibrosis has not been explored yet. @*Methods@#Serial sections of liver tissue of PBC patients were stained with immunofluorescence. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) in wild-type (WT), global JCAD knockout mice (JCAD-KO) and HSC-specific JCAD knockout mice (HSC-JCAD-KO), and evaluated by histopathology and biochemical tests. In situ-activated HSCs isolated from BDL mice were used to determine effects of JCAD on HSC activation. @*Results@#In consistence with staining of liver sections from PBC patients, immunofluorescent staining revealed that JCAD expression was identified in smooth muscle α-actin (α-SMA)-positive fibroblast-like cells and was significantly up-regulated in WT mice with BDL. JCAD deficiency remarkably ameliorated BDL-induced hepatic injury and fibrosis, as documented by liver hydroxyproline content, when compared to WT mice with BDL. Histopathologically, collagen deposition was dramatically reduced in both JCAD-KO and HSC-JCAD-KO mice compared to WT mice, as visualized by Trichrome staining and semi-quantitative scores. Moreover, JCAD deprivation significantly attenuated in situ HSC activation and reduced expression of fibrotic genes after BDL. @*Conclusions@#JCAD deficiency effectively suppressed hepatic fibrosis induced by BDL in mice, and the underlying mechanisms are largely through suppressed Hippo-YAP signaling activity in HSCs.

Objective:To explore the relationship between urinary exosomal microRNA (exo-miR) - 155 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the onset and severity of diabetic kidney disease (DKD).Methods:From January to May 2019, 5 patients with T2DM normoalbuminuria and 5 patients with type 2 DKD were recruited from the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Chongming Hospital of Shanghai Health Medical College as a microRNA screening cohort. Urine samples were collected to extract urinary exosomes, and the urine exo-miR spectrum was detected and analyzed using the miRCURY LNA array. From June 2019 to October 2022, 351 patients with T2DM who met the enrollment criteria and were matched by age and sex were included in the validation cohort in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of the hospital. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR): normoalbuminuria group (UACR<30 mg/g, n=143), microalbuminuria group (30 mg/g≤UACR≤300 mg/g, n=171) and macroalbuminuria group (UACR>300 mg/g, n=37). According to DKD diagnostic guidelines, microalbuminuria group and macroalbuminuria group were classified into DKD group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression level of exo-miR-155 in urine. Results:The results of transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and Western blotting showed that the extraction of exosome vesicles was successful. In the screening cohort, according to the screening criteria of P<0.05 and fold changes (FC)>1.5, 226 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified from the urinary exosomes of the DKD group compared to the T2DM group. Among them, miR-155 ranged highest (FC=32.75, P<0.001). In the validation cohort, compared with the normoalbuminuria group [0.76 (0.55, 0.95)], the macroalbuminuria group [1.84 (1.18, 2.42)] had the most significant increase in urinary exo-miR-155 level ( Z=-7.411, P<0.001), followed by the microalbuminuria group [0.86 (0.69, 1.25)] ( Z=-4.092, P<0.001), and the urinary exo-miR-155 level in the macroalbuminuria group was significantly higher than that in the microalbuminuria group ( Z=-5.841, P<0.001). The correlation analysis showed that urinary exo-miR-155 level was positively correlated with UACR ( r s=0.329, P<0.001) and negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate ( r s=-0.249, P=0.015). The results of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of urinary exo-miR-155 level predicted DKD progression in T2DM patients was 0.892 (95% CI 0.859-0.925), corresponding cutoff value was 0.982, and the sensitivity and specificity were 71.9% and 87.7%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that urinary exo-miR-155≥0.982 was an independent risk factor for progression to DKD in T2DM patients ( OR=3.310, 95% CI 1.981-5.530, P<0.001). Conclusion:The expression level of urinary exo-miR-155 is increased in T2DM patients with microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria, which is related to the degree of albuminuria, and can be used as a predictive marker to identify potential DKD.

Objective:To explore the correlations of micro-calcification load in carotid plaques and plaque vulnerability scores detected by Micropure? ultrasonic technology with 18F-sodium fluoride ( 18F-NaF) uptake ratio (tissue-background ratio [TBR]) in positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). Methods:Baseline data of patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques admitted to our hospital from March 2017 to November 2020 were collected. Carotid arteries of these patients simultaneously positive on Micropure? ultrasound examination and 18F-NaF PET-CT were included. The number of spots in carotid plaques detected by Micropure? ultrasonic technology was defined as load of micro-calcification: they were divided into large number of micro-calcifications group (≥5 spots) and small number of micro-calcifications group (1-4 spots). The scores of carotid plaque vulnerability were evaluated according to carotid atherosclerosis scores in Diagnostic Value of Carotid Atherosclerosis Score for Ischemic Stroke. Correlations of TBR with micro-calcification load and plaque vulnerability scores in these 39 carotid arteries were analyzed. Results:Thirty-nine carotid arteries from 28 patients were enrolled: 24 carotid arteries were classified into the large number of micro-calcifications group and 15 carotid arteries were classified into the small number of micro-calcifications group. TBR of the large number of micro-calcifications group (2.61±0.73) was significantly increased as cpmpared with that of the small number of micro-calcifications group (1.93±0.43, t=-3.657, P=0.001). In the 39 carotid arteries, micro-calcification load was 5(3, 5), while the carotid plaque vulnerability scores were 2 (2, 3); micro-calcification load was positively correlated with TBR (2.35±0.71, r s=0.519, P=0.001), but no correlation was noted between TBR and carotid plaque vulnerability scores ( r s=0.086, P=0.602). Conclusion:Carotid plaque micro-calcification load detected by Micropure? ultrasound examination is associated with 18F-NaF uptake ratio; the larger the micro-calcification load, the more obvious the uptake of 18F-NaF.

Objective:To evaluate the value of a novel multiphase three-dimensional deep learning neural network of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) used in LDCT lung cancer screening.Methods:Eight thousand eight hundred and fifty volunteers with 1 111 nodules were enrolled in the lung cancer screening from November of 2013 to December of 2017, and the baseline LDCT imaging data of volunteers accompanied with clinical information were retrospectively analyzed. All volunteers in this study were designed to receive LDCT test at least once. All the imaging of volunteers were read through the methods of visual detectioin (VD), CAD, and VD Combined CAD. The criteria of the true pulmonary nodule was determinated by the consistent opinion of two specialists in chest imaging(in case of disagreement, the decision should made by the third chief physician). In terms of the numbers, types or Lung-RADS categories of nodules, the detection rate, missed diagnosis rate and false positive rate of pulmonary nodules or lung cancer among three methods were compared, and the rates between groups were compared by χ 2test. Results:Compared with VD or CAD ,the detection rate of nodules in the CAD combined VD was significantly increased (95.7% , 94.2%, vs. 80.1% P<0.05 ), and the rate of missed diagnosis was significantly reduced (5.8%, 4.3% vs. 19.9% ,χ2=101.650, 128.500 ,P<0.05); Compared with VD, the methods of CAD or VD combined CAD significantly increased the the detection rates of Lung-RADS categories (χ2 =25.083,23.449, P=0.000, 0.000) or different types of nodules (χ2=6.955,6.821, P=0.031, 0.033), but there was no statistically significant difference between CAD and VD combined CAD for Lung-RADS categories and different types of nodules (all P>0.05); Compared with VD and VD combined CAD, the positive prediction rate of CAD for lung cancer was significantly reduced, and the rate of missed diagnosis and false positive rate were significantly increased, but there was no significant difference between VD and VD combined CAD in the prediction rate, missed diagnosis rate and false positive rate of lung cancer. Conclusion:The method of CAD combined VD can reduce the detection of false positive nodules and improve the detection rate of true pulmonary nodules,which is the preferred method using in LDCT lung cancer screening for city population.

Objective: Monitoring the unbound drug concentration in blood in combination therapy is necessary, because its concentration determines the efficacy of drug therapy. This study was designed to explore the effect of Dan Hong Injection (DHI) on the unbound warfarin using two approaches including an in vivo pharmacokinetic and in vitro fluorescence studies. Methods: The effect of DHI on the pharmacokinetic properties of the unbound warfarin was investigated by a microdialysis sampling method coupled with LC–MS/MS. The effect of DHI and salvianolic acid B (SaB) on warfarin binding with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was conducted by fluorescence spectrometry. Results: The AUC0-tn of warfarin with DHI group was higher than that of warfarin alone group. The result showed that DHI could increase the concentration of unbound warfarin in rat blood, which may be due to the competition between warfarin and DHI as well as its components binding to serum albumin. The competition process was demonstrated by fluorescence study. Conclusion: Combination therapy of DHI with warfarin could enhance the release profile of warfarin from serum protein.

Objective To investigate the effect of rosiglitazone on the proliferation and apoptosis of colon cancer cells and the changes in the AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway. Methods Different concentrations of rosiglitazone ( 20. 0μmol/L, 40. 0 μmol/L, 80. 0 μmol/L) were used to treat colon cancer HT29 cells and HCT116 cells. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Annexin V FITC/PI cell death detection kit was used to test the cell apoptosis rate. The expression of apoptotic protein Bcl-2, Bax and Akt, GSK3β were detected by Western blot. Results Different concentrations of rosiglitazone had different effect on the proliferation of colon cancer cells compared with the blank control group, and showed a dose dependence (P< 0. 01). With the increase of rosiglitazone dose, the apoptosis-inducing effect @was increased dose-dependently (P< 0. 01). When the cells were treated with rosiglitazone for 48 h, the expressions of Bcl-2/Bax, p-GSK3β, and p-Akt were significantly decreased compared with the blank control group (P< 0. 01), but the expression level of Akt and GSK3β was not significantly different compared with the blank control group ( P > 0. 05 ) . Conclusions Rosiglitazone significantly induces apoptosis and inhibits the proliferation of HT29 cells. It may be via inhibiting Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway and change the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax.

Objective To screen the differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in colorectal cancer tissues with high expression of gastrin (GAS) by gene chip technique. Methods The level of GAS in tumor tissues from 71 patients with colorectal cancer was detected by enzyme linked immumosorbent assay (ELISA), and the relationship between positive expression of GAS and clinicopathological features was analyzed. Human colorectal cancer tissues with high positive GAS expression (high-expression group, n=4) or negative GAS expression (control group, n=4) were analyzed by miRNA microarray, and the selected differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by qPCR. Results There were 17 cases (23.9%) with GAS content ≥50.00 pg/g (positive GAS expression), while the remaining 54 cases (76.1%) had negative GAS expression. The expression level of GAS was related to the degree of differentiation, Dukes stage and histological type (P200.00 pg/g) compared with the control group, of which 159 miRNAs were up-regulated and 77 were down-regulated. A total of 24 miRNAs were screened out, which differentially expressed more than 3 folds in the high-expression group, with 17 up-regulated and 7 down-regulated. Three up-regulated or down-regulated miRNAs were selected for qPCR verification, and the results were consistent with the microarray analysis. Conclusion The miRNAs are differentially expressed in the colorectal cancer tissues with high expression of GAS, and they would be potential targets for the treatment of the colorectal cancer with high GAS expression.

Background:Intestinal metaplasia(IM)and dysplasia in Barrett’s esophagus(BE)can be detected by endoscopic biopsy combined with pathological examination. Aims:To evaluate the efficacy of acetic acid stain-guided biopsies in detection of IM and dysplasia in BE under standard endoscopy. Methods:One hundred patients found to have columnar-lined esophagus by endoscopy from January 2012 to November 2014 at Shanghai Jing’an District Central Hospital were enrolled. Under standard endoscopy,acetic acid was sprayed and multi-point biopsies were performed in visible abnormal regions. This was followed by four-quadrant biopsies at every 1 to 2 cm of the remaining BE segments. Detection rates of columnar epithelium,IM and dysplasia were compared between acetic acid stain-guided biopsies and four-quadrant biopsies. Results:A total of 96 patients were diagnosed as BE. Detection rates of columnar epithelium by acetic acid stain-guided biopsies and four-quadrant biopsies were 96. 9%(93 / 96)and 90. 6% (87 / 96),respectively,no significant difference was found between the two methods(McNemar test,P = 0. 146),however,consistency of the two methods was poor(κ = 0. 340). A total of 32 patients were diagnosed as BE with IM. Detection rates of IM by acetic acid stain-guided biopsies and four-quadrant biopsies were 84. 4%(27 / 32)and 40. 6%(13 / 32),respectively,difference in detection rate between the two methods was significant(McNemar test,P = 0. 007),and consistency of the two methods was poor(κ =0. 266). Five cases of low-grade dysplasia were detected by acetic acid stain-guided biopsies only. Conclusions:Acetic acid stain-guided biopsies can detect BE with IM and dysplasia better than four-quadrant biopsies.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Immune cells within a tumor microenvironment have shown modulatory effects on tumor angiogenic activity. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a hypervascular tumor that reportedly increases the frequency of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in tumor tissues. This study investigated the correlation between Tregs infiltration and angiogenic status in RCC.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty-six patients with RCC were enrolled in the present study, and twenty age-matched healthy donors were included as the control. Tregs were defined as CD4(+)CD25(high)CD127(low/-) T cells. The frequency of Tregs in peripheral blood and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were determined by flow cytometry. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in surgical resection specimens were measured with a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Microvessel density (MVD) was calculated on slides stained with CD34 antibody. Spearman's rank correlation was performed to evaluate the correlation between the frequencies of Tregs in TILs and VEGF values, as well as between frequencies of Tregs and MVD determinations.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared to healthy controls, the frequency of peripheral blood Tregs was significantly increased in patients with RCC (P < 0.05). The percentage of tumor-infiltrating Tregs was higher than that of peripheral blood Tregs in patients with RCC (P < 0.01). In addition, the frequency of tumor-infiltrating Tregs was shown to significantly correlate with the pathological stage (P < 0.05) and nuclear grade (P < 0.01). Importantly, a significant positive correlation was observed between the frequency of tumor-infiltrating Tregs and VEGF protein expression (r = 0.51, P < 0.05), as well as between frequencies of Tregs and MVD score (r = 0.39, P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>These observations suggest that the high pro-angiogenic status of RCC may be associated with the accumulation of Tregs in the local microenvironment. Angiogenesis networks may be connected with immune tolerance units and cooperate with each other to facilitate tumor growth and progression.</p>

ObjectiveTo explore the role of fatty acid on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and to detect the influence of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) on the expression of ER related genes in steatosis hepatocytes by establishing different models of hepatic steatosis.MethodsHealthy adult hepatocyte cell line HL-7702 was taken as research object.The model of hepatic steatosis was established with palmitic acid alone or mixed fatty acids.The cell viability was measured and calculated through CCK-8 positive cell proliferation assay.The cell morphology and steatosis was observed.The intracellular triglyceride content was tested with the triglyceride determination kit.With TUDCA intervention,the relative expression of Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CCAAT/Enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) at mRNA level was determined by real-time PCR.ResultsThe viability of hepatocyte was influenced once the concentration of mixed fatty acid reached 0.5 mmol/L or palmitic acid was 0.125 mmol/L.The effect of palmitic acid alone was stronger than that of mixed fatty acid on hepatocyte injury.The content of intra-hepatocyte triglyceride gradually increased in mixed fatty acid group,which only significantly increased after treated for 12 hours in palmitic acid alone group and then there was no significant change.There was no significant difference in relative expression of GRP78 and CHOP at mRNA level in various concentrations and treated time of mixed fatty acid group.After treated with palmitic acid at 0.5 mmol/L,intra-hepatocyte relative expression of CHOP at mRNA level increased obviously,however there was no effect on GRP78mRNA expression.After treated with palmitic acid at 1.0 mmol/L,both intra-hepatocyte GRP78 and CHOP mRNA relative expression increased.There was no significant difference in GRP78 and CHOP mRNA relative expression before and after ER stress in TUDCA intervented low dose palmitic acid group.There was significant difference in CHOP mRNA relative expression before and after ER stress in TUDCA intervented high dose palmitic acid group (at 12hrs:8.6400 to 5.1032; at 24hrs:13.7948to 6.4928,P=0.042 and 0.017),while no significant difference in GRP78 mRNA expression.ConclusionAt same fatty acid concentration,the larger propotion palmitic acid has,the more severe injury hepatocyte has.The regulation of palmitic acid on intra-hepatic ER stress is a time and dose dependent manner.TUDCA may improve palmitic acid induced ER stress to some degree.
