Single-cell mRNA sequencing of giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) seminoma reveals the cellular and molecular characteristics of tumour cells.

Testicular tumours are zoonoses that can occur in not only human, but other animals, include giant pandas. A middle-aged male giant panda named Fufu was diagnosed with a testicular tumour and underwent surgery to remove the entire left testis. The testis was mainly composed of three substantive parts: normal tissue on the outside, tumour tissue in the middle, and necrosis in the centre. HE stains revealed that the tumour was a seminoma. Single-cell mRNA sequence was applied to characterise cellular states and molecular circuitries of giant panda testicular seminoma. Only germ cell markers expressed in nearly all tumour cells, and the tumour cells appeared to be the same subtype of seminoma cells. We identified four clusters with unique genes expression. They were early apoptosis cells (EAC), inactive cells (IC), active cells subcluster 1 (AC-1) and active cells subcluster 2 (AC-2). We utilised monocle tools and found that IC cells was in the initiation stage, and EAC was one type of terminal stage, suggesting that tumour cells may undergo apoptosis in the future. AC-2 was another type of terminal stage, representing a group of progressive cells. Our study represents the first report to utilise scRNA-seq to characterise the cellular states and molecular circuitries of a giant panda testicular tumour. This investigation proposes CD117 and CD30 as dependable markers for future pathologic diagnosis. Our findings also suggest that CTSV and other genes with unique expression patterns in active and progressive giant panda seminoma cells may act as early prognostic biomarkers.

Preliminary Discussion on the Influencing Factors of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome under the Multidisciplinary Diagnosis and Treatment Model of Malignant Tumors / 中医杂志

As a part of the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model of malignant tumors， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） plays a unique role in increasing efficiency， reducing toxicity， and preventing recurrence and metastasis. It has been gradually recognized that integrated TCM and western medicine should be used in diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Western medicine such as surgery， radiotherapy， chemotherapy， endocrine therapy， targeted therapy， and immunotherapy may act as the main factors that change the syndromes， as they can induce the changes of the tongue and pulse manifestations and symptoms after acting on the body. It is therefore advised to differentiate and analyze the attributes of yin-yang and cold-heat of western medicine as well as its impact on TCM syndromes， and use Chinese herbal medicinals precisely so as to increase efficiency and reduce toxicity. Moreover， it is better to grasp the syndrome evolution trend of modern medicine and predict the disease tendency， so as to improve the accuracy of syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM under multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment model， and promote the maximization of the benefits of integrated TCM and western medicine in treating tumors.

Exploration on standardized management of ethical review of organ donation after citizen’s death / 器官移植

Objective To explore the standardized management mode of the Ethics Committee for organ donation after citizen’s death in hospitals. Methods The situations of ethical review before and after the standardized adjustment of the Ethics Committee of human organ donation in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline data of donors before and after standardized adjustment of the Ethics Committee of human organ donation were compared. The influence of standardized adjustment of the Ethics Committee on the attendance rate of committee members and duration of ethical review were analyzed. Results No significant differences were observed in donors' ethical review data, such as gender, age and death determination, before and after standardized adjustment of Ethics Committee structure (all P>0.05). Significant difference was noted regarding the cause of death in ethical review (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the impact of Ethics Committee standardization adjustment and cause of death on the attendance rate of committee members (both P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that gender, cause of death and standardized adjustment of the Ethics Committee were the influencing factors of the attendance rate of committee members, and the attendance rate of committee members after standardized adjustment was higher than that before adjustment (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the effects of Ethics Committee standardized adjustment, attendance rate of committee members and cause of death on the duration of ethical review (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that standardized adjustment of the ethics committee was the influencing factor of the duration of ethical review, and the duration of ethics review after standardized adjustment was shorter than that before adjustment (P<0.05). Conclusions Appropriate arrangement of the total number of ethics committee members and standardizing the review process may improve the efficiency of ethical review. Scientific evaluation mechanism for ethical committee members should be established by dynamically adjusting the ethical committee members, clarifying the responsibilities and tasks of members and secretaries, aiming to further improve standardized management level of ethical review for organ donation after citizen’s death.

Conclusion:Compared with traditional puncture needle puncture percutaneous vertebroplasty, the remote injection device assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty has a definite clinical effect in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, and the bone cement leakage rate is low.

Different receptive fields-based automatic segmentation network for gross target volume and organs at risk of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

Objective:To establish an automatic segmentation network based on different receptive fields for gross target volume (GTV) and organs at risk in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:Radiotherapy data of 100 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma including CT images and GTV and organs at risk delineated by the physicians were collected. Ninety plans were randomly selected as the training dataset, and the other 10 plans as the validation dataset. Firstly, the images were subject to three data augmentation methods including center cropping, vertical flipping and rotation (-30°to 30°), and then input into MA_net networks proposed in this study for training. The model performance of networks was assessed by the number of network parameters (NP), floating-point number (FPN), the running memory (RM) and Dice index (DI), and eventually compared with DeeplabV3+ , PSP_net, UNet+ + and U_Net networks.Results:When the input image was in the size of 240×240, MA_net had a NP of 23.20%, 20.10%, 25.55% and 27.11% of these 4 networks, 50.02%, 19.86%, 6.37% and 13.44% for the FPN, 40.63%, 23.60%, 11.58% and 14.99% for the RM, respectively. For the DI of GTV, MA_net was 1.16%, 2.28%, 1.27% and 3.59% higher than these 4 networks. For the average DI of GTV and OAR, MA_net was 0.16%, 1.37%, 0.30% and 0.97% higher than these 4 networks.Conclusion:Compared with those four networks, the proposed MA_net network has slightly higher Dice index with fewer parameters, lower FPN and smaller RM.

Evaluation of three predictive models of knowledge-based treatment strategies for radiotherapy / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

Objective:To compare the accuracy and generalized robustness of three predictive models of knowledge-based treatment strategies for radiotherapy for optimized model selection.Methods:The clinical radiotherapy plans of 45 prostate cancer (PC) cases and 25 nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) cases were collected, and analyzed using three models (Z, L and S model), proposed by Zhu et al, Appenzoller et al and Shiraishi et al, respectively, to predict the dose-volume histogram (DVH) of bladder and rectum on PC cases and that of left and right parotid on NPC cases. The prediction error was measured by the difference of area under the predicted DVH and the clinical DVH curves (|V (pre_DVH)-V (clin_DVH)|), where a smaller prediction error implies a greater prediction accuracy. The accuracies of these three models were compared on the single organ at risk (OAR), and the generalized robustness of models was evaluated and compared by calculating the standard deviation of the prediction accuracy on different OAR. Results:For bladder and rectum, the prediction error of L model (0.114 and 0.163, respectively) was significantly higher than those values of Z and S models (≤0.071, P<0.05); for left parotid gland, the predicted error of S model (0.033) did not present significant difference from those values of Z and L models (≤0.025, P>0.05); for right parotid gland, S model (0.033) demonstrated significantly higher prediction error than those of Z and L models (≤0.028, P<0.05). Regarding different OAR, S model showed a lower standard deviation of prediction accuracy when comparing to Z and L models (0.016, 0.018 and 0.060, respectively). Conclusions:In the prediction of DVH in bladder and rectum of PC, Z and S models were more accurate than L model. In contrast, Z and L models demonstrated higher accuracy than S model in the prediction of left and right parotid glands of NPC. In respect to different OAR, the generalized robustness of S model was superior than the other two models.

Transplantation of human umbilical cord derived-mesenchymal stem cells by different ways for the treatment of spinal cord injury / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Currently, human umbilical cord derived-mesenchymal stem cel s are mainly for local transplantation, which has some shortcomings, such as large trauma, bleeding, complications, that limit its widespread application in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of intravenous transplantation of human umbilical cord derived-mesenchymal stem cel s for repair of spinal cord injury. METHODS:Eighty Wistar rats with spinal cord hitting were divided into five groups:blank control group with no transplantation (n=10), DMEM local transplantation group (n=15), DMEM intravenous transplantation group (n=15), cel local transplantation group (n=20), cel intravenous transplantation group (n=20). The functional recovery of spinal cord injury was observed with Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scores at regular time as wel as hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:During 1 day to 2 weeks after transplantation, there was no significant difference in the Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scores between the five groups;within 4-12 weeks after transplantation, the Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scores were significantly higher in the two cel transplantation groups than the other three groups, but there was no difference between these two cel transplantation groups (P>0.05). Histological observation showed that the number of voids and glial scars was less in the cel local transplantation group and cel intravenous transplantation group compared with the other three groups, and there was also no difference between the two cel transplantation groups. These results indicate that the intravenous transplantation of human umbilical cord derived-mesenchymal stem cel s is similar to the local transplantation in the repair of acute spinal cord injury, which is simple and avoids secondary injuries and various complications. It is recommended that this method provide a new approach for cel transplantation.

Olfactory ensheathing cell viability in different cryopreservation systems / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: A proper preservation method would be of important significance for experiments and clinical application ofolfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) OBJECTIVE: To explore proper cyropreservative systems for OECs.METHODS: OECs during the logarithmic growth phase were harvested, cryopreserved for 1, 3 and 6 months and then revitalized.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: MTT assay and tryplan blue staining showed that cells exhibited highest viability after treatmentwith 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES), followed by 10% DMSO, and lastly the 5% DMSO. Use ofrefrigerator or cryogenic control system with different cryopreservation time did not yield obvious effects on viability of OECs.Therefore, 5% DMSO-6%HES is recommended as a cryopreservative agent for OECs.

Vein transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells for spinal cord injury / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation is a better theray for spinal cord injury, and it becomes one of the most promising treatment methods. Local transplantation is applied currently, with the disadvantages of complex operation, large trauma, repeated transplantation. Looking for a simple and effective way for cell transplantation becomes a hotspot for scholars from various countries.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect and possibility of transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells for treatment of spinal cord injury.METHODS: Wistar rats with T 10 spinal cord hemisecti on were divided into 4 groups: intramedullary local transplantation group (A),vein transplantation group (B), D/F12 transplantation group (C) and control group (D). The functional recovery of rats with spinal cord injury was observed with combined behavioral score at different phases. The tissue sections of each group were made at 5 and 10 weeks postoperatively to observe the axon regeneration and the survival of olfactory ensheathing cells.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The experiment showed that the rats transplanted with OECs at injured site and through the vein had more improvement in functional recovery and histological changes than the other two groups. The effect between A group and B group had not significant difference. The method of treating spinal cord injury by transplanting OECs via the vein not only simplifies the operation and avoids many complications but also has good curative effect similar to local transplantation.

Objective To compare the effects of oxygen therapy and local pressurization in alleviating plateau hypoxia at high altitude.Methods Forty-five healthy male soldiers were investigated at an altitude of 3992 meters.The subjects were randomly divided into three groups, ie.an oxygen inhalation group, a single-soldier oxygen increasing respirator (SOIR) group and a BiPAP group.The oxygen inhalation group was treated with oxygen inhalation via nasal catheter at 2 L/min.SOIR was used to assist breath in the SOIR group.The BiPAP group were treated with bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation, with IPAP of 10 cm H20 and EPAP of 4 cm H2O.PaO2、PaCO2、SpO2 and heart rate were measured before and 30 minutes after the treatment.Results There were continuous increase of PaO2 from (53.30±4.88) mm Hg to (58.58±5.05) mm Hg and (54.43±3.01) mm Hg to (91.36±10.99) mm Hg after BiPAP ventilation and oxygen inhalation, respectively (both P < 0.01).However, the PaO2、of the SOIR group was decreased from (56.00±5.75) mm Hg to (50.82±5.40) mm Hg (P < 0.05).In the other hand, the PaCO2、 was increased from (30.41±1.51) mm Hg to (32.5±2.98) mm Hg in the oxygen inhalation group (P< 0.05), declined from (28.74±2.91) mm Hg to (25.82±4.35) mm Hg in the BiPAP group (P < 0.05), and didn't change significantly from (28.65±2.78)mm Hg to (29.75±3.89) nun Hg in the SOIR group (P > 0.05).Conclusions Both BiPAP ventilation and oxygen inhalation can alleviate plateau hypoxia by improving PaO2 at 3992 meter altitude while SOIR has no significant effect.

Comparison between microinvasive puncture and small bone window craniotomy in the treatment of moderate cerebral hemorrhage / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To evaluate and compare the curative effect between the microinvasive craniopuncture therapy and the clearance of hematoma by craniotomy with small bone flap in treating patients with moderate cerebral hemorrhage (30-60 ml)in the basal ganglion part of the brain. Methods Ninety-five patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into treatment group (microinvasive craniopuncture therapy) and control group (the clearance of hematoma by craniotomy with small bone flap). The main indexes of evaluation were the neurological impairment degree (NID) on the 14th day after treatment, activities of daily living (ADL) by the end of the third month, the incidence rate of complications, and the case fatality during 3 months. Results On the 14th day after treatment, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the NID and the ADL of patients. The incidence rate of respiratory tract infection, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, electrolyte disorder in treatment group [16.33% (8/49), 6.12% (3/49), 6.12% (3/49), respectively] was significantly reduced than those of control group [56.52% (26/46), 21.74%(10/46), 21.74% (10/46),respectively] during hospitalization (P < 0.05). By the end of the third month, there was significant difference in favorable outcomes (Barthel index 95-100) (χ~2 = 18.7524,P =0.0009) and in improving the ADL (MRS)(t =5.2723,P =0.0001) between the two groups [39.13% (18/46), 4.65% (2/43),respectively]. In ease fatality, there was no significant difference between the two groups [6.12% (3/49),6.52% (3/46),respectively]. Conclusion As compared with the clearance of hematoma by craniotomy with small bone flap, the microinvasive craniopuncture therapy can remarkably reduce the incidence of complications, and improve the ADL of patients with moderate cerebral hemorrhage (30-60 ml) in the basal ganglion, and decrease disability without increasing fatality.
