RESUMEN
Diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) is the most common disabling complication of diabetes. Emerging evidence has linked the pathogenesis of DNP to the aberrant sprouting of sensory axons into the epidermal area; however, the underlying molecular events remain poorly understood. Here we found that an axon guidance molecule, Netrin-3 (Ntn-3), was expressed in the sensory neurons of mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), and downregulation of Ntn-3 expression was highly correlated with the severity of DNP in a diabetic mouse model. Genetic ablation of Ntn-3 increased the intra-epidermal sprouting of sensory axons and worsened the DNP in diabetic mice. In contrast, the elevation of Ntn-3 levels in DRGs significantly inhibited the intra-epidermal axon sprouting and alleviated DNP in diabetic mice. In conclusion, our studies identified Ntn-3 as an important regulator of DNP pathogenesis by gating the aberrant sprouting of sensory axons, indicating that Ntn-3 is a potential druggable target for DNP treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) based on automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) radiomics in distinguishing benign and malignant BI-RADS 4 lesions.Methods:Between May to December 2020, patients with BI-RADS 4 lesions from the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University (Center 1) and Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Center 2) were prospectively collected and divided into training cohort (Center 1) and external validation cohort (Center 2). The radiomics features of BI-RADS 4 lesions were extracted from the axial, sagittal and coronal ABVS images by MaZda software. In the training cohort, 7 feature selection methods and thirteen ML algorithms were combined in pairs to construct different ML models, and the 6 models with the best performance were verified in the external validation cohort to determine the final ML model. Finally, the diagnostic performance and confidence (5-point scale) of radiologists (R1, R2 and R3, with 3, 6 and 10 years of experience, respectively) with or without the model were evaluated.Results:①A total of 251 BI-RADS 4 lesions were enrolled, including 178 lesions (91 benign, 87 malignant) in the training cohort and 73 lesions (44 benign, 29 malignant) in the external validation cases. ②In the training cohort, the 6 ML models (DNN-RFE, AdaBoost-RFE, LR-RFE, LDA-RFE, Bagging-RFE and SVM-RFE) had the best diagnostic performance, and their AUCs were 0.972, 0.969, 0.968, 0.968, 0.967 and 0.962, respectively. ③In the external validation cohort, the DNN-RFE still had the best performance with the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 0.886, 0.836, 0.934, 0.776, 86.8% and 82.5%, respectively. ④Before model assistance, R1 had the worst diagnostic performance with the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 0.680, 0.750, 0.640, 57% and 81%, respectively. After model assistance, the diagnostic performance of R1 was significantly improved ( P=0.039), and its diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV improved to 0.730, 0.810, 0.930, 68% and 94%; while the improvement of R2 and R3 were not significantly ( P=0.811, 0.752). Meanwhile, the overall diagnostic confidence of the 3 radiologists increased from 2.8 to 3.3 ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The performance of ML based on ABVS radiomics in distinguishing between benign and malignant BI-RADS 4 lesions is good, which may improve the diagnostic performance of inexperienced radiologists and enhance diagnostic confidence.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explor the effects of mentalization-based family therapy (MBFT) on the emotions of anxiety and depression, reflective functions, and related brain regions of adolescents with depression.Methods:Thirty-two adolescent patients with depression were selected in Beijing Huilongguan Hospital.Among them, fifteen patients treated with conventional drugs were defined as the control group, the other seventeen patients served as the observation group.On the basis of routine drug treatment, patients in the observation group were treated with 1.5 h MBFT once a week, for a total of 3 months.Among them, 10 patients underwent resting functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI) scans before and after the intervention.SPSS 23.0 was used for statistical analysis of scale evaluation data by using chi-square test and repeated-measure analysis of variance, and pairwise Pearson correlation was used to construct a brain network matrix for the MRI results.The patient's brain network matrix was put into Gretna to calculate, and then use repeated measures analysis of variance and t test for judgment. Results:(1)Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed, over time and group, before and after intervention, the group×time interactions of patients' reflective function, anxiety, depression were statistically significant ( F=5.113, 9.350, 5.264, all P<0.05). Further simple effect analysis showed, in the observation group, there were statistically significant differences in patients' anxiety ((55.09±14.35) vs (30.58±3.62)), depression ((61.58±16.81) vs (31.00±3.48)) before and after intervention (all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in reflective function ((8.71±0.51) vs (8.87±0.50) ) in the observation group before and after intervention( P> 0.05). The reflective function((8.92±0.33) vs (8.73±0.35)) and anxiety((50.67±13.88) vs (45.78±12.89)) scores of the control group were not statistically significant different before and after intervention(all P>0.05), and the depression scores of the control group before and after inter-vention((69.33±9.11) vs (50.94±7.99)) were statistically significant different( P<0.01). (2)rs-fMRI showed that, using the posterior parietal lobe and the medial prefrontal lobe as seed points, the group×time interactions with right inferior frontal gyrus, right fusiform gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus and right superior frontal gyrus were statistically significant ( F=29.56, 20.63, 8.69, 9.49, 8.62, all P<0.05). The further simple effect analysis showed in the observation group, the pre-test was less than the post-test, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). In the control group, there were not statistically significant differences in the functional connection strength before and after the test(all P>0.05). (3)The brain network analysis of 264 regions of interest (ROIs) in the whole brain showed that the number of modules in the observation group was less than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.64, P=0.046). Conclusion:MBFT can improve the anxiety and depression of adolescent patients with depression.It enhances the functional link between mentalization related brain regions and the whole brain, and enhances the activity of the whole brain link to become more integrated.

CONCLUSIONS:No synergistic effects of Lb-f is found on the inhibition of CTX on the growth of HCT116 in vitro and in vivo;Lb-f can inhibit the decrease of peripheral blood leucocyte and platelet of HCT116 cell xenograft tumor nude mice induced by CTX.
RESUMEN
Purpose To investigate the expression of androgen receptor ( AR) in molecular subtypes of breast cancer and its relation-ship with clinicopathological features. Methods The expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), HER-2, CK5/6, CK14 in breast cancer was detected by EnVision immunohistochemical staining, and they further be divided into 84 Luminal A subtypes, 27 Luminal B subtypes, 14 HER-2 overexpression subtypes, 11 Basal-like subtypes, and 17 Normal-like subtypes, respec-tively. The distribution of AR in 5 molecular subtypes and its relationship with clinicopathological factors, such as age, histopathologi-cal grading, tumor size, lymph node status and clinical staging, were analyzed. Results In 153 cases of breast cancer, the positive rates of AR expression were 73. 20%, Luminal A was the majority ( 62. 50%) in 5 molecular subtypes. In the HER-2 negative and positive breast cancer, the positive rates of AR expression were 75. 00% and 68. 29% and the difference between the two groups was no statistical significant (P=0. 196). Of the 153 breast cancers, 23 (15. 03%) were triple-negative breast cancers (ER-, PR- and HER-2-), 15 (9. 80%) breast cancers were negative for ER, PR and AR, 8(5. 23%) breast cancers were quadruple negative (ER-, PR-, AR- and HER-2 -) . There was significant difference of the expression of AR in ER/PR positive and negative breast cancer (P=0. 001),it was positively correlated with ER/PR protein expression (rs =0. 874, P=0. 024). The difference of AR ex-pression between histological grading was statistically significance ( P=0. 022 ) , the expression of AR was negatively correlated with histopathologic grading (rs = -0. 201, P=0. 013). The positive expression of AR was related to tumor size, but not correlated with lymph node metastasis ( P=0. 211 ) and clinical staging ( P=0. 065 ) . Conclusion The expression of AR in breast cancer tissues and its relationship with clinicopathological features may provide a basis for the further improvement molecular typing of breast cancer, and also provide the theoretical basis for clinical treatment and judging prognosis.

Objective To investigate the role of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), Smad2/3 and Smad7 expressions in carotid artery remodeling in renovascular hypertensive rats, and also the therapeutic effect of Enalapril and Amlodipine. Methods The renovascular hypertensive rat (RHR) models with two-kidney and one-clip were established, including model group (n = 6), sham-operated group (n = 6), Enalapril group (10 mg/kg per day, n = 6), Amlodipine group (5 mg/kg per day, n = 6) and combination group (Amlodipine 2.5 mg/kg per day + Enalapril 5mg/kg per day, n = 6). The medication were continuous administrated for six weeks. Carotid artery morphological and structural changes in the media were observed by HE staining, Masson staining and immuno histochemical staining. Media thickness (MT), MT and lumen diameter ratio (MT/LD), and the expression levels of media α-smooth muscle actin (α-actin), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), TGF-β1, phosphorylated Smad2/3 (p-Smad2/3) and Smad7 in carotid arteries were measured. Results The media of carotid arteries in RHR model group was significantly thickened, the volume of smooth muscle cell was increased, and the array was in disorder; MT, MT/LD, the proliferation index of smooth muscle cell and collagen fiber area percentage of carotid arteries in the model group were significantly higher than those in the sham-operated group (P < 0.01). Compared to sham-operated group, the model group had significantly higher expressions of TGF-β1 and p-Smad2/3 (P < 0.05) and lower Smad7 expression. Both Enalapril and Amlodipine improved smooth muscle hypertrophy and collagen deposition, reduced RHR carotid MT, MT/LD, proliferation index of smooth muscle cell, collagen fiber area percentage and the expressions of TGF-β1 and p-Smad2/3 (P < 0.05), increased Smad7 expression (P < 0.05). Moreover, the combination treatment of Enalapril and Amlodipine had significantly better effects than single Amlodipine group (P < 0.05), but not single Enalapril group. Conclusions TGF-β1/Smads pathway may participate in the mechanism of carotid artery remodeling in RHR; the role of Amlodipine and Enalapril in inversing carotid artery remodeling may be related to the change of TGF-β1/Smads pathway, the combination treatment of Amlodipine and Enalapril had better effects than single administration of Amlodipine.

RESUMEN
Objective To explore the significance of detecting IgH gene rearrangement in diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods By using family-specific primers mixtures (VH1,VH2,VH3) for IgH FR3A,FR2A,FR1 genes,clonal IgH gene rearrangement was detected by heminested and multiplex PCR in 44 cases of B-NHL,1 undifferentiated lymphoma,15 T-NHL and 5 lymphonode reactive hyperplasia. Results Clonal IgH gene rearrangement was detected in 36 of 44 B-NHL (positive rate 82%) by using FR3A primers,27 of 44 B-NHL (positive rate 61%) by using FR2A primers. By using FR1 family-specific primers mixtures (VH1,VH2,VH3) and JH (JHb,JHc),clonal IgH gene rearrangement was demonstated respectively in 34/33 of 44 B-NHL (positive rate 77%,75%). The total positive rate was 95% (42/44) by combined family-specific primers mixtures (VH1,VH2,VH3) of FR3A,FR2A,FR1 gene. Four of 15 T-NHL revealed clonal IgH gene rearrangement,while 5 LRH had no clonal IgH gene rearrangement. One NHL unclassified by immunohistochemical methods was classified definitely as B cell-derived lymphoma by PCR. Conclusion The detection rate of IgH gene rearrangement can be improved by combined usage of several pairs of primers,especially family-specific primers. Detecting clonal IgH gene rearrangement is significant in the procedure of differential diagnosis for B/T-NHL and reactive hyperplasia.
