RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of pulsed dye laser (PDL) combined with fractional CO2 laser in the treatment of burn scars in pediatric patients. METHODS: The present retrospective study enrolled 60 pediatric patients with burn scars from July 2017 to June 2021. In the 4-month treatment period, all patients received PDL treatment every 1 month and received fractional CO2 laser treatment every 3 months. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) was used to evaluate the scar condition before the treatment as well as 6 months after the whole treatment. The satisfaction of the patient's parents was collected and recorded 6 months after the treatment. Complications were recorded during the treatment period and at follow-up visits. RESULTS: Among all patients, 38 (63.33%) cases were scald-induced scars and 22 (36.67%) cases were burn-induced scars. The mean diameter of the scar area was 107.53 ± 2.92 cm2 . For the measurement of the patient part of POSAS, all indices of pain, itching, color, stiffness, thickness, and irregularity, as well as the total scores were remarkably lower after 6 months of the treatment compared with the baseline (p < 0.05). For the observer part of POSAS, the indices of vascularization, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, and surface area, as well as the total scores were markedly decreased after treatment (p < 0.05). The total satisfactory rate was 96.67% (58/60). No severe complications nor scar aggravation was observed. CONCLUSION: The combination of PDL and fractional CO2 laser showed good efficacy in the treatment of pediatric patients with burn scars with no severe complications and can be recommended in clinical application.

RESUMEN

Inspired by the intriguing structures and bioactivities of polyprenylated xanthones, ten previously undescribed polyprenylated xanthones, nujiangxanthones G-P (1-10), and fifteen known ones (11-25) were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Garcinia nujiangensis. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic data as well as comparison with the literature. Most of the isolates showed potent cytotoxicity against selected cancer cells. Compound 8 showed the highest effects against MDA-MB-231 and A549 cell lines with IC50 values of 4.12 and 2.67 µM and 16 demonstrated the most potent activity against MCF-7 cell line with an IC50 value of 3.36 µM.

RESUMEN

This article investigates an effective method with which to reconstruct the tragus and external auditory meatus for microtia reconstruction. The external ear was reconstructed using a delayed postauricular skin flap in patients with congenital microtia. After the first stage of delaying the postauricular skin flap and the second stage of otoplasty with ear framework fabricated from autogenous rib cartilage draping with the delayed skin flap, the third stage involved tragus and external auditory meatus canaloplasty. After designing the remnant auricle flap, the lower part was trimmed and the tragus was reconstructed. The upper part was trimmed into a thin skin flap, which was rotated and used to cover the hollowed wound posterosuperior to the tragus so as to mimic the external auditory meatus. If remnant wounds were present, skin grafting was conducted. In total, 121 patients with congenital microtia were treated from March 2010 to March 2016. The reconstructed tragus and external auditory meatus were well formed, and all wounds healed well. No severe complications such as flap necrosis occurred. Six months postoperatively, the morphology of the reconstructed tragus and external auditory meatus was good. Overall, the patients and their families were satisfied. The use of remnant auricle to reconstruct the tragus and external auditory meatus is an effective auricular reconstruction technique.

RESUMEN

A series of novel disulfides containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole moiety were designed, synthesized, and the structures of all products were identified by spectral data (IR, NMR, and high resolution (HR)-MS). Their in vitro antiproliferative activities were evaluated using 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-phenyl)-3-(4-nitro-phenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfopheyl)-2H-tetrazolium monosodium salt (CCK-8) assay against human cancer cell lines, A549 (human lung cancer cell), HeLa (human cervical cancer cell), SMMC-7721 (human liver cancer cell) and normal cell lines L929. The bioassay results indicated that most of the tested compounds 6a-k, 7a-k and 8a-k exhibited antiproliferation with different degrees, and some compounds showed better effects than positive control 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) against various cancer cell lines. Among these compounds, compound 6e exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against A549 cells with IC50 value of 3.62 µM. Compounds 6i, 7a, 7g, 8a and 8b showed significantly antiproliferative activities against HeLa cells with IC50 values of 3.88, 3.76, 3.59, 3.38 and 3.12 µM, respectively. Compounds 6a, 7a and 8a owned high antiproliferative activities against SMMC-7721 cells with IC50 values of 2.54, 2.69 and 2.31 µM, respectively. Furthermore, all of the tested compounds showed weak cytotoxic effect against the normal cell lines L929. Based on the preliminary results, the substituent groups are vital for improving the potency and selectivity of this class of compounds.

RESUMEN

Our previous study showed hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) suppresses the p16 expression in hepatocarcinogenesis. In this study we explored the relationship between HBx and trimethylation of H3K9 (H3K9me3), and elucidated the underlying mechanisms in HBx inducing the tumor suppressor p16 gene silence. SMMC-7721 and HepG2 hepatoma cell lines were transfected with HBx-expressing plasmid. Immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction, were performed to detect the expressions of HBx, H3K9me3, and jumonji domain-containing protein 2B (JMJd2B). H3K9me3 enrichment on the p16 promoter was measured by immunoprecipitation-PCR (ChIP-PCR) analyses, and 39 cases of hepatitis B virus (HBV) associated-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and corresponding noncancerous liver tissues were also examined. We demonstrated that HBx was able to upregulate H3K9me3 and suppress JMJd2B mRNA and protein levels in SMMC-7721 and HepG2 hepatoma cell lines. JMJd2B, as a specific target of H3K9me3 for demethylation, was inversely correlated with the levels of H3K9me3 in SMMC-7721 (r=-0.666, P<0.05) and HepG2 cells (r=-0.625, P<0.05). The ChIP-PCR data indicated that HBx remarkably increased H3K9me3 on the p16 promoter region. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that H3K9me3 expression in HBx positive HCC samples were significantly higher than that in HBx negative HCC tissues and were associated with decreased levels of JMJd2B expression. JMJd2B immunoreactivity was also remarkably inversed to that of HBx in HCC tissues (r=-0.630, P<0.05). Our results provide evidence that HBx is able to induce H3K9me3 on the p16 promoter via the decrease of demethylase JMJd2B expression and thus promote the repression of p16 gene expression to enhance hepatocarcinogenesis.

RESUMEN

We describe a 44-year-old Chinese-speaking patient with semantic dementia (SD), who demonstrates dyslexia and dysgraphia. The man was administered a series of neuropsychological inspections, including general language tests and reading and writing examinations. The patient demonstrated surface dyslexia when reading single Chinese characters aloud. While most writing errors demonstrated by the patient were orthographically similar errors and noncharacter responses, such as pictograph, logographeme, and stroke errors, rather than phonologically plausible errors that were homophonous or different only in tone from the targets. We suggest that the type of acquired dysgraphia demonstrated by Chinese-speaking SD patients is determined by the unique features of the Chinese writing system.

RESUMEN

Phosphorescent material with narrowband emission is crucial for advancing wide-color-gamut organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this work, two iridium(III) complexes, (PhthzICz)2Ir(tmd) and (thzICz)2Ir(tmd), using rigid 2-(benzothiazole-2-yl)indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (PhthzICz) and 2-(thiazole-2-yl)indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (thzICz) as cyclometalated ligands and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione (tmd) as ancillary ligands, were synthesized. When these complexes were doped into the host material 3,3'-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl, the doped films exhibited yellow photoluminescence (PL) peaking at 537 and 531 nm, full width at half maximum (FWHM) bands of 35 and 60 nm, and PL quantum yields of 89.9% and 85.9%, respectively. OLEDs based on these two emitters display moderate performance characteristics with maximum external quantum efficiencies of 25.2% and 22.7%. Notably, the device based on (PhthzICz)2Ir(tmd) exhibits a narrow FWHM of 31 nm. Overall, the study highlights the practicality of incorporating rigid groups into the cyclometalated ligands of Ir(III) complexes as a viable strategy for achieving efficient Ir(III) complexes for OLEDs with narrow emission and high efficiency.

RESUMEN

Objective: To investigate the role and molecular mechanism of exosomal miR-224-5p in colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: The miR-224-5p expression in CRC patient tissues and cell-derived exosomes was measured by laser capture microdissection and qRT-PCR, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the target gene of miR-224-5p. The protein expressions of p53 and unc-51 like kinase 2 (ULK2) in CRC cells were detected by western blot. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle and apoptosis. Cell proliferation was measured by CCK8 and EdU assay. Results: The miR-224-5p expression was upregulated in CRC tissues and increased progressively with the rise of CRC stage. CRC cells secreted extracellular miR-224-5p mainly in an exosome-dependent manner, and then miR-224-5p could be transferred to surrounding tumor cells to regulate cell proliferation in the form of autocrine or paracrine. Moreover, ULK2 was characterized as a direct target of miR-224-5p and was downregulated in CRC tissues. Interestingly, ULK2 inhibited CRC cell proliferation in a p53-dependent manner. Furthermore, exosome-derived miR-224-5p partially reversed the proliferation regulation of ULK2 on CRC cells. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that exosome-transmitted miR-224-5p promotes p53-dependent cell proliferation by targeting ULK2 in CRC, which may offer promising targets for CRC prevention and therapy.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Our previous study showed that the abscisic acid receptor lanthionine synthetase C-like 2 (LanCL2) is a significant prognostic factor for overall survival in young glioblastoma patients. However, the role of LanCL2 in glioblastoma remains unclear yet. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the role of LanCL2 in regulating in-vitro cell invasion and in-vivo tumor progression of glioblastoma and its underlying mechanism. METHODS: Tyrosine 198 or 295 residue of LanCL2 was mutated using site-directed mutagenesis to block its phosphorylation. The role of LanCL2 in glioblastoma was investigated using transwell or 3D invasion assay, matrix degradation assay and intracranial xenograft model. RESULTS: This study showed that nuclear transport of LanCL2 was enhanced by overexpression of LanCL2 or its ligand abscisic acid in glioblastoma cells. Knockdown of LanCL2 suppressed migration, invasion and invadopodia formation of glioblastoma cells, whereas overexpression of wild-type LanCL2 enhanced them. Blocking of Tyr295 residue phosphorylation of LanCL2 impeded its nuclear transport, retarded glioblastoma cell motility and invadopodia formation, and deceased the phosphorylation of Cortactin and STAT3. c-Met was identified as the upstream tyrosine kinase of Tyr295 residue of LanCL2, and inhibition of c-Met markedly suppressed the nuclear transport of LanCL2. Moreover, overexpression of wild-type LanCL2 significantly promoted orthotopic tumor growth of glioblastoma in vivo and led to poor survival of mice with median survival time of 33.5 days, whereas Tyr295 mutation rescued it with median survival time of 49 days. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggested that Tyr295 phosphorylation is crucial to the activation and nuclear transport of LanCL2, as well as invadopodia formation and tumor progression of glioblastoma, providing the evidence of a novel signaling axis c-Met/LanCL2/STAT3/Cortactin and the first observation of the importance of Tyr295 phosphorylation to LanCL2.

RESUMEN

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disorder associated with high morbidity and mortality. ICH results in the formation of hematoma that affects not only the primary site of injury but also the remote regions. In fact, hematoma can extend via perivascular spaces (also called Virchow-Robin spaces, VRS) and perineurium in an animal model of ICH. In the present study, we used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) to investigate the characteristics of the perivascular and perineural extensions of hematomas in patients with ICH. A total of 20 ICH patients without secondary subarachnoid and secondary intraventricular hemorrhages were recruited. Brain MRI scans, including SWI, T1, and T2-weighted images, were performed between 17 h to 7 days after the onset of ICH. MRI with SWI revealed that paramagnetic substances spread along the VRS or the perineurium. Such distribution could cause the formation of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs). However, the distribution of remote hemorrhagic lesions varied, depending on the size and location of the original hematoma. The unenhanced CT scans of the 20 patients did not show any hyperdensity around the blood vessels and nerve tracts outside the hematoma. These results indicate the perivascular and perineural extensions of hematomas in patients with ICH, which is formed by the leakage of the original hematoma via the VRS or perineurium. We also provide a new explanation for the series of pathological processes involved in ICH, including the remote effects of hematoma and the formation of CMBs in patients with ICH.

RESUMEN

In order to find potential agents for treating cancer disease in naturally occurring compounds, we conducted a systematic phytochemical investigation on the endemic species of Garcinia nujiangensis. Three new biphenyl derivatives (1-3) and one new polycyclic polyprenylated benzophenone (4), together with four known benzophenone analogues (5-8), have been isolated from the CH2Cl2 extract of the twigs and leaves of G. nujiangensis. Their structures were determined by detailed spectroscopic analyses and comparison with structurally related known analogues. Experimental and calculated ECD method was used to determine the absolute configuration of 1 and 4. Moreover, compounds 5-7 were isolated for the first time from this species. The cytotoxicities of the new compounds were evaluated using HL-60, HepG2, and A549 human cancer cell lines. Compound 4 showed more significant antiproliferative effects against HepG2 cells with an IC50 value of 11.38 ± 0.79 µM than that of three biphenyl derivatives. The morphological features of apoptosis were evaluated in 4-treated HepG2 cells. Compound 4 effectively prevented the cell cycle progression of HepG2 cells in G2 phase. Additionally, western blot analysis indicated that treatment of 4 on HepG2 cells led to decreased expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and pro-Caspase-3, and increased protein expression of both pro-apoptotic Bax and cleaved PARP with reference to ß-actin. Overall, our results suggested that the active polycyclic polyprenylated benzophenone derivatives in the twigs and leaves of G. nujiangensis can be used as a valuable source of bioactive compounds for the pharmaceutical industry.

RESUMEN

We previously reported a new effective therapy, continuous intrathecal amphotericin B (AMB), for the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis, which had fewer side effects and complications than conventional intrathecal AMB. In this study, the pharmacokinetics of continuous intrathecal administration and conventional intrathecal AMB were compared in rabbits, providing a pharmacokinetic basis for the use of continuous intrathecal AMB therapy. The AMB concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), sampled via an inserted cisterna magna catheter, was determined by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. The results revealed significant pharmacokinetic differences between the two groups. In the continuous intrathecal group (0.15 mg/kg/24 h), the concentration of AMB peaked 7.01 µg/ml at 4 h and then decreased to a stable level of 1.0 to 1.34 µg/ml, with no neurological impairments, while in the conventional intrathecal group (0.015 mg/kg), the drug concentration reached a peak of 3.41 µg/ml at 1 h and then decreased progressively, with fever and neurological impairments, including convulsion and paralysis. The pharmacokinetic results indicated that the continuous intrathecal AMB is a more effective and safe therapy than the conventional intrathecal AMB, with comparatively rational pharmacokinetics and fewer neurological impairments.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study was carried out to clarify the effects of the antidepressant fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, for its potential use in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis in a rat model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). METHODS: The rat EAE model was induced by subcutaneous injection of guinea pig spinal cord homogenate. Rats received fluoxetine via daily intragastric administration, starting 2 weeks prior to immune induction (fluoxetine pretreatment). Clinical scores and pathological changes in EAE rats were analyzed. Changes in serum cytokine levels were assessed by ELISA. RESULTS: Fluoxetine pretreatment significantly promoted remission in EAE. Histologically, fluoxetine-induced neuroprotection was accompanied by reductions in inflammatory foci and in the degree of demyelination in the spinal cord of EAE rats. The increase in serum IFN-γ in the EAE model was also suppressed by fluoxetine administration. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the prophylactic use of fluoxetine can relieve symptoms during remission in the acute EAE model, and these neuroprotective effects are associated with its anti-inflammatory effects.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the antibacterial mechanism of sulforaphaneon (SFN) on Escherichia coli. METHODS: To determine membrane penetrability, changes of SDS-PAGE protein spectra, soluble protein and alkaline phosphatase and reducing sugar were determined. Cellular nucleic acid synthesis was detected by 4, 6- diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining assay. RESULTS: SFN affected the membrane permeability of Escherichia coli. Ions and small molecules could leak out of the cells. But it did not destroy the membrane integrity directly. After 16 hours of treatment with SFN, the total contents of intracellular and extracellular proteins decreased by 42.5% and 17.6%, respectively, while the quantity of DNA and RNA reduced by 34.8% and 48.5% respectively. CONCLUSION: SFN can affect cell membrane permeability, material and energy metabolism and inhibit the synthesis of nucleic acid and protein.

RESUMEN

Objective: To explore the pharmacological effects and molecular mechanism of quercetin 7-rhamnoside (Q7R) in the treatment of cholestatic hepatitis induced by alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT). Methods: ANIT-induced cholestatic hepatitis rat model was used to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of three different doses of Q7R (1.25 mg/kg; 2.5 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg). Serum biochemical indices were detected using commercial kits. H&E and masson staining were used to observe hepatic tissue damage and collagen deposition in hepatocytes. The metabolism of bile acid-related substances was detected via HPLC-MS/MS by 5-(diisopropylamino) amylamine (DIAAA) derivative method. Hepatocyte injury, cholestasis, and inflammation were detected at the mRNA and protein levels using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting, respectively. Results: Q7R can decrease the level of CYP7A1, and increase FXR, CYP27A1 so then improving abnormal bile acid secretion. Furthermore, Q7R can also ameliorating inflammation by reduce TNF-α, IL-1ß, PTGS1, PTGS2, NCOA2, NF-κB level. Therefore, Q7R had an effective therapeutic effect on ANIT-induced cholestatic hepatitis, improving abnormal bile acid secretion, and inhibiting inflammatory responses. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that Q7R treat cholestatic hepatitis by regulating bile acid secretion and alleviating inflammation.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics and rules of acupoint sensitization phenomena based on knee osteoarthritis (KOA), one of the clinical dominant diseases of acupuncture-moxibustion. METHODS: In combination with literature and expert experiences, the acupoints with the highest use frequency in treatment of KOA were screened, e.g. Heding (EX-LE 2), Liangqiu (ST 34), Mingmen (GV 4), Neixiyan (EX-LE 4), Ququan (LR 8) and Dubi (ST 35). In 814 patients with KOA and 217 healthy subjects, the acupoint temperature, mechanic pain threshold and pressure pain threshold were detected separately. Using machine learning method, the sensitization was judged at each acupoint. RESULTS: Compared with healthy subjects, the acupoint temperature was increased and the mechanic pain threshold and pressure pain threshold were reduced in KOA patients (P<0.05). Besides, the cut-off value was presented to distinguish whether the acupoint was sensitized or not. The results of machine learning showed that the highest prediction accuracy of acupoint sensitization was 86.7% (Shenshu [BL 23]) and the lowest one was 73.9% (Heding [EX LE 2]). The prediction accuracy at the third clinical stage trial was higher, the highest was 93.3% (Ququan [LR 8]) in KOA patients. CONCLUSION: It is confirmed that the acupoint sensitization reflects the characteristics of disease and is correlative with the conditions of illness, which may provide the reference for the auxiliary diagnosis and condition assessment of KOA.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of pulsed dye laser combined (PDL) and UltraPulse fractional CO2 in treatment of hypertrophic scars is well documented. The present study investigates the efficacy of moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO)/moist exposed burn therapy (MEBT) in postlaser wound management. METHODS: Sixty-one patients with immature, red hypertrophic scars were enrolled in this clinical trial. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: (a) the MEBO treatment group (n = 30) and (b) the control group (n = 31) treated with chlortetracycline hydrochloride ointment. Demographic data such as age, gender, and cause of scars were recorded. A visual analogue score (VAS) was collected to measure pain at 1, 6, 24, 72 hours, and 7 days post-treatment. The Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was used to determine the response of the scars before and 3 months after the treatment. The wound healing time and pigmentation scores were also recorded. RESULTS: No significant differences were found in age, gender, and etiology of the scars in the two groups. The VAS scores in MEBO group were significantly lower than the control group within the first 3 days after treatment. The wound healing time of the MEBO group was significantly shorter than the control group. For both groups, VSS scores were significantly decreased and the scar markedly improved. However, the VSS scores were significantly lower in the MEBO group compared with the control group 3 months after treatment and pigmentation formation was dramatically lower in MEBO group compared with the control. CONCLUSION: MEBT/MEBO treatment reduced the post-treatment pain, shortened the wound healing duration, promoted the overall scar condition, and reduced the incidence of pigmentation.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To observe the distribution characteristics and rules of pain sensitivity points on body surface in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). METHODS: A total of 916 patients with KOA were selected in this study, the pain sensitivity points of local site of knee joint were probed by thumb palpation. Tape was used to measure the distance between the pain sensitivity points and the most nearby acupoints. The Wagner tenderness measuring instrument was used to measure the tenderness threshold of pain sensitivity points. RESULTS: A total of 3618 pain sensitivity points were probed, among them, 3338 pain sensitivity points were sensitized. The minimum sensitization degree was 1.00, the maximum sensitization degree was 3.39, while the average sensitization degree was (2.16±0.60). Pain sensitivity points were distributed 0.37-1.73 cun around the acupoints, the average distance was (1.26±0.20) cun. Most of the pain sensitivity points (48.7%) were around Yingu (KI 10), Ququan (LR 8) and Xuehai (SP 10). The number and sensitization degree of pain sensitivity points were associated with McGill pain questionnaire score of patients with KOA (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: The pain sensitivity points of patients with KOA may be the expansion effect of acupoint areas in the disease states, pain sensitivity points are more likely to appear on the medial side of knee joint.

RESUMEN

Ni-Co-Al2O3 composite coatings were prepared by pulsed electrodeposition and electrophoresis-electrodeposition on aluminum alloy. The content of Al2O3 particles of the Ni-Co-Al2O3 composite coating prepared by electrophoresis-electrodeposition was significantly higher than the composite coating prepared by pulsed electrodeposition. The composite coating prepared by electrophoresis-electrodeposition exhibited a better anti-wear performance than that prepared by pulsed electrodeposition. The morphology, composition and microstructure of the composite coatings were determined by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The hardness and friction properties of the samples were tested on the microhardness tester and the friction and wear loss tester respectively.
