OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect of "Zhibian" (BL 54)-to-"Shuidao" (ST 28) needle insertion on the ovarian function in the rats with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and the potential effect mechanism based on the Fas/FADD/Caspase-8 of death receptor pathway.@*METHODS@#Forty-eight female SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a medication group and an acupuncture group, with 12 rats in each group. Except in the blank group, the rats in the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with cyclophosphamide to establish the POI model. In the acupuncture group, after successful modeling, the intervention was given with "Zhibian" (BL 54)-to- "Shuidao" (ST 28) needle insertion, once daily, 30 min in each intervention; and the duration of intervention was 4 weeks. In the medication group, estradiol valerate tablets were administered intragastrically, 0.09 mg•kg-1•d-1, for 4 weeks. The general situation and the estrous cycle of the rats were compared among groups. Using ELISA, the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E2) in the serum were detected. HE staining was adopted to observe the morphological changes of ovarian tissue of rats. The protein expression of Fas, FADD and Caspase-8 in ovarian tissue was detected with immunohistochemistry and Western blot.@*RESULTS@#After modeling, except the rats of the blank group, the rats of the other groups had dry fur, lost hair, low spirits, reduced food intake, increased urination and loose stool. After intervention, the stool became regular gradually in the acupuncture group and the medication group. The percentage of estrous cycle disturbance was increased in the rats of the model group when compared with the blank group (P<0.01); in comparison with the model group, the percentages of estrous cycle disturbance were reduced in the acupuncture group and the medication group after intervention (P<0.01). When compared with the blank group, the body mass and E2 content in the serum were lower (P<0.01), the levels of FSH and LH in the serum and the protein expression levels of Fas, FADD and Caspase-8 were increased (P<0.01) in the model group. Compared with the model group, the body mass and E2 contents in the serum were higher (P<0.01), the levels of FSH and LH in the serum and the protein expression levels of Fas, FADD and Caspase-8 were reduced (P<0.01) in the acupuncture group and the medication group.@*CONCLUSION@#"Zhibian" (BL 54)-to-"Shuidao" (ST 28) needle insertion can effectively improve the ovarian function of POI rats, and its effect mechanism may be related to regulating the serum sex hormone levels, reducing the expression of Fas, FADD and Caspase-8 in ovarian tissue and retarding apoptosis of ovarian cells.

Healthy birth and child development are the prerequisite for improving the overall quality of the population. However, premature ovarian failure(POF) threatens the reproductive health of women. The incidence of this disease has been on the rise, and it tends to occur in the young. The causes are complex, involving genetics, autoimmune, infectious and iatrogenic factors, but most of the causes remain unclear. At the moment, hormone replacement therapy and assisted reproductive technology are the main clinical approaches. According to traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), kidney deficiency and blood stasis are one of the major causes of POF, and TCM with the effects of tonifying kidney and activating blood has a definite effect. Through clinical trials, TCM prescriptions for POF have excellent therapeutic effect as a result of multi-target regulation and slight toxicity. In particular, they have no obvious side effects. A large number of studies have shown that the kidney-tonifying and blood-activating TCM can regulate the neuroendocrine function of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, improve ovarian hemodynamics and microcirculation, reduce the apoptosis of granulosa cells, alleviate oxidative stress injury, and modulate immunologic balance. The mechanism is that it regulates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt), vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), transforming growth factor(TGF)-β/Smads, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/antioxidant response element(ARE), and nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB) signaling pathways. This article summarized the pathological mechanisms of tonifying kidney and activating blood TCM in the prevention and treatment of POF and explored the biological basis of its multi-pathway and multi-target characteristics in the treatment of this disease. As a result, this study is expected to serve as a reference for the treatment of POF with the tonifying kidney and activating blood therapy.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a kind of virus commonly infected in human, most of which is latent infection, and only a few people develop malignant diseases. EBV is the pathogen of infectious mononucleosis (IM). EBV is associated with a variety of lymphatic and epithelial malignancies. Lymphatic system malignancies associated with EBV are mainly B-cell lineage lymphoma. Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are more studied, while acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL) are relatively less studied. This article reviews the biological structure, gene expression of EBV and its correlation with ALL and CLL.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)for renal artery stenosis in elderly patients and the imaging features.Methods:Clinical and imaging data of 1 074 patients aged 60 years or older receiving renal artery CEUS in our hospital between September 2017 and October 2022 were retrospectively and consecutively collected, and the results of renal artery CEUS were summarized and comparatively analyzed.Results:Among the 1 074 elderly patients, 588(54.7%)patients showed normal renal artery imaging on CEUS, while 486(45.3%)patients exhibited renal artery stenosis.Of the 486 patients diagnosed with renal artery stenosis by CEUS, 94 elderly patients with complete clinical data then underwent DSA.Comparison of CEUS and DSA results from the 94 patients revealed that CEUS was in good agreement with DSA in evaluating different degrees of renal artery stenosis( Kappa value: 0.739, P<0.001). Of the 486 patients with renal artery stenosis diagnosed by CEUS, a total of 684 renal arteries had varying degrees of stenosis(including 288 with unilateral stenosis and 198 with bilateral stenosis), of which 55(8.0%)had diffuse stenosis of the main renal artery, and 629(92.0%)had confined stenosis of renal arteries(609 stenosis sites were located in the proximal segment/entry point, 12 in the middle segment, and 8 in the hilar or segmental renal arteries). Ultrasonography of confined renal artery stenosis showed narrowing of the contrast agent sound beam at the stenosis site, with or without enhancement of contrast intensity; ultrasonography of diffuse renal artery stenosis showed a thin contrast sound beam throughout the length of the renal artery, with either continuous linear changes or intermittently punctuated changes. Conclusions:There is a high detection rate of renal artery stenosis in the elderly, and ultrasonography can not only determine the degree of renal artery stenosis, but also show the location of stenosis and the extent of involvement, with fairly clear imaging characteristics.

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the value of Improved Mayo Endoscopic Score (IMES) for evaluation of treatment efficacy for active ulcerative colitis (UC).@*METHODS@#We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and endoscopic data of 103 patients diagnosed with active UC in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from January, 2015 to December, 2020. The severity of endoscopic lesions was determined by Mayo Endoscopic Score and the Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS), and the area of the endoscopic lesions was evaluated based on the Montreal classification system. The IMES was established by combining the MES with the Montreal classification.@*RESULTS@#Univariate analysis suggested that young patients (<40 years old), patients with extensive disease type (E3), patients with high endoscopic scores (MES=3, UCEIS>4, and IMES>4), and patients receiving advanced drug therapy (with systemic hormones, immunosuppressants, immunomodulators, and biological agents, etc.) had lower clinical and endoscopic remission rates. COX survival analysis showed that IMES≤4 was an independent risk factor for clinical and endoscopic remission. ROC curve indicated that the predictive value of IMSE≤4 for clinical and endoscopic remission (AUC=0.7793 and 0.7095, respectively; P<0.01) was better than that of Montreal (AUC=0.7357 and 0.6847, respectively; P<0.01), MES=2 (AUC=0.6671 and 0.5929, respectively; P<0.01), and UCEIS≤4 (AUC=0.6823 and 0.6459, respectively; P<0.01); IMES=5 had a better predictive value for patients with active UC undergoing colectomy tham E3 and MES=3.@*CONCLUSION@#IMES has good value in evaluating treatment efficacy for active UC.

Hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), as a hypoxia inducible factor, affects women's reproductive function by regulating the development and excretion of follicles. HIF-1α induces glycolysis and autophagy in the granule cells by promoting oocyte development, regulating the secretion of related angiogenic factors, and improving follicle maturity. In addition, HIF-1α promotes the process of luteinization of follicular vesicles, maintains luteal function, and finally completes physiological luteal atrophy through cumulative oxidative stress. Dysfunction of HIF-1α will cause a series of pathological consequences, such as angiogenesis defect, energy metabolism abnormality, excessive oxidative stress and dysregulated autophagy and apoptosis, resulting in ovulation problem and infertility. This article summarizes the previous studies on the regulation of follicle development and excretion and maintenance of luteal function and structural atrophy by HIF-1α. We also describe the effective intervention mechanism of related drugs or bioactive ingredients on follicular dysplasia and ovulation disorders through HIF-1α, in order to provide a systematic and in-depth insights for solving ovulation disorder infertility.

Objective:To explore the regulatory effect of glutathione S-transferase P1(GSTP1) on the radiosensitivity of mouse Lewis lung cancer (LLC) cells.Methods:GSTP1-shRNA lentivirus and negative control lentivirus were used to respectively infect the LLC cells, and stable transgenic strains were selected. Real-time PCR and Western blot were conducted to quantitatively measure the expression levels of GSTP1 mRNA and protein in the LLC cells to verify the knockdown effect. The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay was used to detect cell viability after irradiation. The colony formation assay was utilized to assess the cell proliferation ability after irradiation. Flow cytometry was performed to assess the level of cell apoptosis after irradiation. The tumor-bearing mice were established and irradiated to detect the changes in the tumor volume after irradiation. TUNEL staining was employed to detect the level of tumor apoptosis after irradiation. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the number of CD 4+ CD 8+ T cells in the tumor after irradiation. Results:Real-time PCR and Western blot showed that after shRNA lentivirus interference, the expression levels of GSTP1 mRNA and protein were significantly down-regulated. Down-regulation of GSTP1 reduced cell viability and proliferation, and increased the rate of cell apoptosis after irradiation. The tumor volume of the tumor-bearing mice after irradiation in the GSTP1 knockdown group was significantly smaller than that in the NC group, whereas the tumor apoptosis rate was significantly higher and the number of infiltrating CD 4+ CD 8+ T cells in the tumor was remarkably higher compared with those in the control group. Conclusion:Knockdown of GSTP1 can significantly increase the radiosensitivity of LLC cells and enhance the infiltration of lymphocytes in tumor tissues.

Objective:To observe the effect of the cortical blood perfusion parameter of wash-in area under curve (iAUC) with contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) on the effect of short-term outcomes of stent implantation in patients with severe renal artery stenosis (RAS).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 82 patients with unilateral severe RAS who received stent implantation in Beijing Hospital from October 2017 to December 2019. According to the baseline iAUC before CEUS, all patients were divided into the poorly-perfused group (iAUC<850.0 dB×s) (37 cases) and the well-perfused group (iAUC≥850.0 dB×s) (45 cases). Baseline and perioperative clinical-imaging data were analyzed between the two groups. Followed up for 10-12 (11.5±1.7) months, Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Log-rank test were used to analyze the rate of adverse cardiac and renal vascular events and hypertension control rates.Results:Compared with the well-perfused group, the poorly-perfused group showed a longer course of hypertension, more diabetic patients, higher systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, 24 h average systolic blood pressure, and 24 h average diastolic blood pressure, lower glomerular filtration rate, and severe renal artery stenosis. Besides, the iAUC, wash-out AUC and the peak intensity were lower, the average transit time was longer, and the hypoglycemic treatment rate was higher (all P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank test analysis showed that the occurrence of cardio-renal vascular events ( HR=0.361, 95% CI=0.144-0.907, P=0.012) and renal function deterioration rate ( HR=0.286, 95% CI=0.090-0.914, P=0.035) in the well-perfused group were significantly lower than those in the poorly-perfused group. The blood pressure results demonstrated that the effective rate of hypertension treatment in the well-perfused group was significantly higher than that in the poorly-perfused group (93.3% vs 59.5%, P<0.001), but the improvement rate of hypertension (60.0% vs 43.2%) and cure rate (28.9% vs 16.2%) were not statistically significant between the two groups(all P>0.05). Conclusions:Severe RAS patients with decreased baseline iAUC often have diabetes, longer duration of hypertension, significantly reduced glomerular filtration rate and more severe RAS, short-term outcomes are worse with stent implantation.

Objective:To investigate the power and prenatal diagnosis strategies of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) testing for chromosomal aneuploidy screening apart from trisomy-13/18/21.Methods:This study collected the clinical data of three cases at high risk of trisomy-16 indicated by cffDNA testing in Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from March 2019 to March 2020. Results of the conventional G-banding karyotype analysis of amniotic fluid, single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) and low-coverage massively parallel copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) of placenta/fetal skin samples were analyzed.Results:(1) cffDNA testing results suggested that case 1-3 were at high risk of trisomy-16 and the Z values of chromosome 16 were 20.57, 24.88 and 17.87, respectively. (2) Karyotype analysis of amniotic fluid samples did not identify any abnormalities in Case 1 and 2, while SNP-array revealed a 19.2 Mb and 23.0 Mb heterozygous deletion at 16p13.3p12.3 and 16q22.1q24.3 in Case 1, and a 16.0 Mb loss of heterozygosity at 16q22.3q24.3 in Case 2. Case 3 had a mosaicism karyotype of 47,XY,+16[3]/46,XY[97] and SNP-array analysis showed no heterozygous deletion greater than 5 Mb or copy number variation. (3) Ultrasonography indicated fetal growth restriction in Case 1 and 2 and fetal death in Case 3. All three pregnancies were terminated. CNV-seq analysis of placental tissue in the center of both fetal and maternal side revealed mosaic trisomy 16, with the copy numbers of chromosome 16 of 2.56/2.70, 2.73/2.82, 2.80/2.81, respectively. However, no copy number variation was detected in Case 1 or 2 by CNV-seq analysis of fetal skin tissues. Conclusions:cffDNA testing has a certain power in detecting trisomy-16 apart from trisomy-13/18/21. For high-risk cases of trisomy-16 indicated by cffDNA testing, SNP-array analysis combined with karyotype analysis is suggested to rule out low-level mosaicism and loss of heterozygosity.
摘要
Background: The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing worldwide, and anemia, one of the most prevalent extraintestinal manifestations of IBD, is still often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Aims: To analyze the correlations of clinical factors with anemia in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in 60 cases of UC admitted from September 2019 to May 2020 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Sixty healthy subjects were served as controls. Data of fasting venous blood sample analysis on admission were collected, and the correlations of indicators for anemia with the clinical factors were analyzed. Results: The indicators for anemia, including red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) etc. were significantly decreased in UC patients than in healthy controls (all P<0.05). RBC was lower in females than in males (P<0.05); RBC and HCT were lower in patients with pancolitis than in those with proctitis or left hemi-colon colitis (all P<0.05); RBC, Hb and HCT were lower in severe active UC than in mild active UC (all P<0.05). RBC, Hb, HCT and MCH were negatively correlated with two disease activity indicators for IBD, C-reactive protein (CRP) and/or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Gender, as well as the disease extent, activity and severity are important clinical factors for anemia in patients with UC.
