Radiation workers are exposed to ionizing radiation in their daily work, which further exacerbates their levels of occupational stress. This not only affects their physical and mental health, but also increases the potential for radiation incidents or accidents. Based on the literature on occupational stress among radiation workers in China throughout the years, this article provides a summary, conclusion, and systematical analysis of the research status of occupational stress among radiation workers, with a detailed sorting of the data. It explores key research issues and directions and provides reference for future work.

The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant exhibits altered pathogenicity, transmissibility, and fitness in the golden Syrian hamster model

The newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant first identified in South Africa in November 2021 is characterized by an unusual number of amino acid mutations in its spike that renders existing vaccines and therapeutic monoclonal antibodies dramatically less effective. The in vivo pathogenicity, transmissibility, and fitness of this new Variant of Concerns are unknown. We investigated these virological attributes of the Omicron variant in comparison with those of the currently dominant Delta (B.1.617.2) variant in the golden Syrian hamster COVID-19 model. Omicron-infected hamsters developed significantly less body weight losses, clinical scores, respiratory tract viral burdens, cytokine/chemokine dysregulation, and tissue damages than Delta-infected hamsters. The Omicron and Delta variant were both highly transmissible (100% vs 100%) via contact transmission. Importantly, the Omicron variant consistently demonstrated about 10-20% higher transmissibility than the already-highly transmissible Delta variant in repeated non-contact transmission studies (overall: 30/36 vs 24/36, 83.3% vs 66.7%). The Delta variant displayed higher fitness advantage than the Omicron variant without selection pressure in both in vitro and in vivo competition models. However, this scenario drastically changed once immune selection pressure with neutralizing antibodies active against the Delta variant but poorly active against the Omicron variant were introduced, with the Omicron variant significantly outcompeting the Delta variant. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that while the Omicron variant is less pathogenic than the Delta variant, it is highly transmissible and can outcompete the Delta variant under immune selection pressure. Next-generation vaccines and antivirals effective against this new VOC are urgently needed. One Sentence SummaryThe novel SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, though less pathogenic, is highly transmissible and outcompetes the Delta variant under immune selection pressure in the golden Syrian hamster COVID-19 model.

Clinicopathological features of dedifferentiated liposarcomas with meningothelial-like whorls: report of six cases / 中华病理学杂志

Objective@#To investigate the histopathologic, immunohistochemical, molecular genetic characteristics of dedifferentiated liposarcomas with meningothelial-like whorls(DDLMW).@*Methods@#Six cases of DDLMW diagnosed at Jiangsu Province Hospital(the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University) from March 2012 to August 2018 were enrolled. The cases were analyzed by routine HE staining, immunohistochemistry(MDM2, CDK4 and p16) and fluorescent in-situ hybridization(FISH) on MDM2 gene. Related literatures were also reviewed.@*Results@#Three of the 6 patients were male.The patient ages ranged from 40 to 77 years (mean, 58 years). Four tumors occurred in the retroperitoneum and two in the mediastinum. Histologically, the tumors showed, in addition to foci of well-differentied liposarcoma, characteristic, scattered meningothelial-like concentrical whorls. The whorls were composed of tightly, concentrically arranged, spindle to ovoid cells with mild to mederate cytological atypia. Metaplastic bone was present within or in their immediate vicinity in four case. The tumors cell also showed strong and diffuse immunoreactivity to MDM2, CDK4 and p16, but no immunoreactivity to S-100 protein, SMA, SOX10, EMA, CD21, CD23 or CD35. The Ki-67 labeling indexes were low, while FISH showed high levels of MDM2 amplification in all cases.@*Conclusions@#DDLMW is a rare morphologic variant of dedifferentiated liposarcoma. The whorls in DDLMW do not represent perineurial or follicular dendritic differentiation. Recognition and familiarity with its existence, as well as combined application of immunohistochemical staining and MDM FISH, are important to avoid confusion with other lesions.

Clinicopathological features of minute meningothelial-like nodules in the lung / 中华病理学杂志

Objective@#To study the clinicopathological features of minute meningothelial-like nodule (MMLN) in the lung and its histological origin.@*Methods@#Clinicopathological data of 93 patients diagnosed with MMLN in Jiangsu Province Hospital(the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University) from September 2016 to September 2018 were collected and analyzed retrospectively, and the related literature was reviewed.@*Results@#Ninety-three MMLNs were identified from 5 239 patients undergoing pulmonary resection. There were 18(19.6%) males and 75(80.6%) females; age ranged 38-81 years, with mean age 58 years. The frequency of MMLNs was related to the site of origin, and single lesion most commonly (43%) arose in right lobe. There was no significant relationship with patients′ age, gender and the co-existing malignant tumors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) was 0.584 (P<0.05), and the best cut-off point was 11.5, indicating an appropriate increase in the number of slides to at least 12 would facilitate the discovery of MMLN. Histologically, MMLN cells showed bland morphology, located around the normal alveolar cavity or form nests or whorls centered on small veins. Immunohistochemistry was done in 55 cases, and all cells expressed vimentin; and a high proportion of cells expressed EMA, PR, CD56 and Calponin. They were all negative for TTF1, Syn, CgA, CKpan, SMA and CD34. The Ki-67 index was low in all cases (<2%). In addition odds ratio analysis showed that MMLN was not a risk factor for invasive carcinoma (including other malignant tumors in the lung, P=0.100).@*Conclusions@#MMLN closely resembles meningothelioma morphologically and immunophenotypically, although its origin remains uncertain. In the study, MMLN is considered as a reactive benign lesion around pulmonary pathology, functioning as an effector regulating small blood vessels caliber. MMLN probably provides nutritional support to the surrounding disease and affords a suitable environment for the development of tumor cells.

Effects and mechanism of TREM-1 on inflammatory response and lipid metabolism in mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective@#Analysis of the effect of triggering receptor-1 expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the mechanism.@*Methods@#The oleic acid-treated HepG2 cells were divided into model group, overexpression group, interference group A, interference group B and negative control group. The mouse model of NAFLD was generated and randomly divided into (nuclear factor-κB) NF-κB inhibition group, protein kinase B (AKT) inhibition group, knockout group A, knockout group B and control group. The expression of inflammatory factors and TREM-1 in liver tissue was detected by PCR, and fat accumulation was detected by oil red O staining. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of TREM-1 and signaling pathway proteins, and HE staining was used to detect liver tissue changes.@*Results@#TREM-1 was up-regulated in liver tissue of NAFLD mice [(0.936±0.127) vs. (0.432±0.105)] and in oleic acid-treated HepG2 cells. In oleic acid-treated HepG2 cells, overexpression of TREM-1 increased inflammatory factor expression and increased lipid droplets; inhibition of TREM-1 expression decreased inflammatory factor expression, and lipid droplets decreased. Knockout of TREM-1 and inhibition of NF-κB in NAFLD mice reduced hepatocyte inflammatory factor expression and reduced liver damage; knockout of TREM-1 and inhibition of AKT reduced liver tissue lipids and drops accumulate.@*Conclusions@#The overexpression of TREM-1 in NAFLD mice liver tissue can regulate inflammatory factor expression and lipid droplets through NF-κB and AKT signal pathway. TREM-1 might be a potential therapeutic target of NAFLD.

Isolation, culture and identification of hepatocellular carcinoma-associated fibroblast and its effect on the biological function of hepatocellular carcinoma cells / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective To establish an in vitro isolation and culture system for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-associated fibroblast (CAF) and identify based on its specific markers of CAF. Methods CAF was isolated from the tumor tissue of the HCC patients after hepatectomy, by digesting with collagenase enzyme, centrifugation and resuspension. The morphology of CAF was observed by electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence staining was performed for detecting α-SMA and fibronectin as well as other specific markers such as AFP on the surface of HCC cells and CD31 on the surface of vascular endothelial cells. On the basis of the study, the function work between CAF and HCC cell line Huh7, HepG2 was detected under co-culture system. Meanwhile, CCK-8 was used to observe the effect of CAF on the proliferation of Huh7 and HepG2 cells, and Transwell assay was used to analyze CAF effect on the invasion of Huh7 and HepG2 cells. Results Compared with the other cells, the morphological analysis showed that CAF was more elongated or spindle-shaped. Moreover, the cell size and the nucleus were larger than normal epithelial cells. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the CAF surface specific markers including α-SMA and fibronectin were positive, and mainly were the cell membrane staining. The proliferation and invasion of Huh7 and HepG2 were significantly increased by CAF. The results show that the increasing percentage of cells in 24 hours between blank group and the experimental group was (63 ± 4) %, (78 ± 5) % and (69 ± 5) %, (81 ± 3) %respectively after co-culture with CAF, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In transwell model, the number of cells in the blank group and the experimental group was (59.4 ± 3.1), (162.9 ± 3.9) and (104.8 ± 2.6), (166.4 ± 4.2), and the difference was also statistically significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion The isolated CAF from HCC enhances the ability of tumor's proliferation and invasion.

Objective To explore the effect of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met signaling in doxorubicin (DOX) treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Different biologic and genetic characteristics human HCC cell lines, Huh7, HepG2, MHCC97-L and MHCC97H were used in this experiment. Variation in c-Met mRNA expression level among different HCC cell lines was analyzed by RT-PCR. Western blot analysis was performed to detect c-Met and p-Met expression levels in these cell lines. CCK-8 experiment was carried to analyze the DOX sensitivity in various cell lines. t test and repeated measure analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. Results Both c-Met and p-Met were overexpressed in MHCC97-L and MHCC97-H cell lines and these cell lines were resistant to DOX compared to Huh7 and HepG2. However, treatment of HGF in Huh7 and HepG2 cells activated c-Met signaling pathway and decreased the sensitivity of these two cell lines to DOX [inhibition rate: Huh7 (34.848 ±5.370) vs. (66.409±5.792)%, HepG2 (34.351±3.305) %vs. (62.308±5.453) %, both P=0.002]. Whereas administration of c-Met inhibitor in MHCC97-L and MHCC97-H cell lines significantly increased the sensitivity to DOX [inhibition rate: MHCC97-L (73.106 ±3.472) % vs. (13.636 ±4.097) %; MHCC97-H (64.444 ±4.006) % vs. (6.296 ±2.796) %, both P< 0.001]. Conclusion HGF/c-Met signaling pathway is related the treatment efficacy of DOX in HCC.

Objective To explore the feasibility of blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) MRI to detect the chronic hepatitis b-induced early kidney injury. Methods Seventeen clinically diagnosed chronic hepatitis b patients with early kidney injury and 10 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this preliminary study. The 17 patients underwent dynamic nuclear renography and then subdivided into stage 1 kidney injury group (n=7) and stage 2 kidney injury group (n=10). All of the enrolled subjects underwent BOLD examination and T2* relaxation rates (R2*) of renal cortex and medulla of split kidney, and the ratio between them (R2*med/cor) were measured separately. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed on the control group and chronic hepatitis b patients group (kidney injury stage 1 and stage 2 group) to compare the difference of renal cortical and medullary R2*values and R2*med/cor ratio. ROC curves were used to evaluate the efficacy of renal cortical and medullary R2* values and R2*med/cor ratio to diagnose the chronic hepatitis b-induced kidney injury. Results The cortical R2*values of control group, stage 1 kidney injury group and stage 2 kidney injury group were(16.87 ± 0.74)/s,(17.88 ± 0.73)/s,(20.29 ± 2.87)/s, respectively;the medullar R2*values of control group, stage 1 kidney injury group and stage 2 kidney injury group were (28.07±1.03)/s,(31.14±2.49)/s,(32.81±3.28)/s, respectively;R2*med/cor of the of control group, stage 1 kidney injury group and stage 2 kidney injury group were 1.67 ± 0.09, 1.75 ± 0.16, 1.63 ± 0.13, respectively, and the differences among the three groups were statistically significant (F values were 17.779, 19.170 and 3.439 , all P<0.05). Furthermore, the renal cortical and medullary R2* values of chronic hepatitis b patients were significantly higher than the control group, and the the renal cortical R2* value of the patients in stage 2 kidney injury group was also higher than the stage 1 kidney injury group. The area under curve (AUC) of ROC of the renal cortical and medullary R2*values and R2*med/cor to diagnose chronic HBV hepatitis-induced early kidney injury were 0.903, 0.949 and 0.526, respectively. Conclusion It's feasible and has great value to use renal BOLD MRI for the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis b-induced early kidney injury, and the renal cortex is more sensitive than the medulla to the kidney injury.

Correlation between MRI features and metal compositions of gallstones / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To analyze the correlation between the metal components and MRI signal intensities of gallstones, to investigate the causes of gallstone signal features on MRI. Methods The MRI data and the metal components of the gallstones in vivo and in vitro of 30 patients were retrospectively analyzed. The MR sequences, namely 3D fast spoiled gradient-echo with fat saturation T1-weighted imaging (3D-FSPGR-FS T1WI), fast spoiled gradient-echo with fat saturation T1-weighted imaging(FSPGR-FS T1WI), fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition(FIESTA)and fast spin-echo T2-weighted imaging with fat saturation(FSE-FS T2WI), were performed on the gallstones in vivo and in vitro. According to the characteristics of the surface and cross section, gallstones were divided into pigment gallstones( n=16) and cholesterol gallstones(n=14). The MR signal characteristics of the gallstones were observed and the signal intensity rates of the gallstones were calculated. Preoperatively, the signal intensity rates of cholesterol and pigment stones of each MR sequence were compared by using t test and Mann-Whiteney U test. Postoperatively,the signal intensity rates of the fresh,dried and re-soaked gallstones were compared by using paired t test and Wilcoxon test. The correlation between the signal intensity rates of gallstones on the 3D-FSPGR-FS sequence and their metal components was analyzed by using Linear Regression analysis. Results The pigment gallstones showed high signal intensity on the 3D-FSPGR-FS T1WI. The signal intensity rates of the pigment gallstones were higher than the rates of the cholesterol gallstones on the 3D-FSPGR-FS T1WI, which were 2.02 ± 0.53 and 0.51 ± 0.24 (t=10.26,P< 0.01), respectively. On the 3D-FSPGR-FS T1WI, the signal intensity rates of the drying pigment stones were significantly lower than the rates of the fresh ones, the rates of the two states of the pigment gallstones were 0.21±0.06 and 1.42±0.35(t=13.49,P<0.01),respectively. The signal intensity rates of pigment gallstones showed significant rebound after re-soaking, the rates of the two states of the pigment gallstones were 0.21±0.06 and 1.68±0.86(t=-6.63,P<0.01),respectively. The metal components of pigment gallstones were significantly higher than the cholesterol stones. In the pigment gallstones and cholesterol gallstones, the medians of the Calcium were 28.186 and 2.347 mg/g(Z =-4.66,P< 0.01),respectively.For pigment gallstones, there was a significant correlation between the calcium and the signal intensity rate on 3D-FSPGR-FS T1WI. The regression equation of linear regression analysis was SI=65.40 logCa-166.67. Conclusions The pigment gallstones containing much more water and metal showed high signal intensity on 3D-FSPGR-FS T1WI. The Calcium in the pigment gallstones may be the main cause for this MR appearance.

Differential Diagnosis of Axillary Inflammatory and Metastatic Lymph Nodes in Rabbit Models by Using Diffusion-Weighted Imaging: Compared with Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

OBJECTIVE: This experiment aims to determine the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differentiation of axillary inflammatory lymph nodes from metastatic lymph nodes in rabbit models in comparison with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Conventional MRI and DWI were performed at 4 weeks after successful inoculation into the forty female New Zealand white rabbits' mammary glands. The size-based and signal-intensity-based criteria and the relative apparent diffusion coefficient (rADC) value were compared between the axillary inflammatory lymph nodes and metastatic lymph nodes, with histopathological findings as the reference standard. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the aforementioned criteria and rADC value in differentiating the axillary inflammatory lymph nodes from metastatic lymph nodes. RESULTS: Thirty-two axillary inflammatory lymph nodes and 46 metastatic ones were successfully isolated and taken into pathological analysis. The differences of the aforementioned criteria between the two groups were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). However, the rADC value of the inflammatory lymph nodes (0.9 +/- 0.14) was higher than that of metastatic ones (0.7 +/- 0.18), with significant difference (p = 0.016). When the rADC value was chosen as 0.80, the area under the ROC curve is greater than all other criteria, and the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for differentiating two groups were 86.2%, 79.3%, 81.2%, 84.2%, and 85.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Diffusion-weighted imaging is a promising new technique for differentiating axillary inflammatory lymph nodes from metastatic lymph nodes. Compared with routine magnetic resonance sequences, DWI could provide more useful physiological and functional information for diagnosis.

Diffusion-weighted imaging in predicting and monitoring the response of uterine cervix cancer to concurrent chemoradiation / 中国医学影像技术

Objective To investigate the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting and monitoring the response of uterine cervix cancer to concurrent chemoradiation. Methods Seventeen patients with uterine cervix cancer underwent conventional MRI and DWI examinations before therapy and at one month and two months after the initiation of concurrent chemoradiation, and 8 of them underwent additional examinations at 15 d after therapy. The longest diameter of tumor before and after treatment was measured on axial T2WI. The mean ADC value among pre- and post-treatment of each group (CR, PR and SD) was compared. Results The mean ADC value before therapy of CR group was statistically lower than that of PR group (P＜0.05). There was negative correlation between mean pretreatment ADC value and percentage size reduction of tumor after concurrent chemoradiation at two months (r=-0.574, P＜0.05). The percentage ADC change of tumor at one month correlated positively with percentage size reduction of tumor at two months after concurrent chemoradiation (r=0.572, P＜0.05). Fifteen days after the initiation of concurrent chemoradiation, the mean ADC value of 8 patients increased significantly, however, the longest diameter of tumor showed no statistically significant changes compared with pre-treatment tumor diameter. Conclusion DWI has the ability to predict the response of uterine cervix cancer to concurrent chemoradiation, and it can monitor the treatment response as well.

The Differential Diagnostic Value of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI in Adrenal Adenomas and Nonadenomas with the Washout Rate of Enhancement / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To explore the value of MRI dynamic contrast-enhanced in differentiating adrenal adenomas from nonadenomas with washout rate of enhancement and the increased SI ratio. Methods Thirty-six patients with 41 adrenal masses enrolled into this study. All these masses underwent conventional T 1WI and T 2WI sequence first, and then FMPSPGR sequence through the center of each mass. Precontrast and dynamic contrast-enhanced FMPSPGR scans were preformed after administration of contrast material of Gd-DTPA intravenously. The signal intensity(SI) of masses was measured on the screen by electronic cursor. The washout rate of enhancement and increased SI ratio were compared between adenomas and nonadenomas. The differentiating adrenal adenomas from nonadenomas were carried out based on combination of the washout rate and the increased SI ratio, meanwhile, the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of adenomas were evaluated well.Results The sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of adenomas were 74% and 73%,and accuracy was 73% when the washout ratio was used as a indicator at 5 min. The sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of adenomas would be improved markedly when the combination of the washout ratio and the increased SI ratio was used as a indicator.The sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of adenomas were 95%, 91% respectively,and accuracy was 93%. Conclusion Using MRI dynamic contrast-enhanced based on combination of washout rate of enhancement and the increased SI ratio,the diagnosis and differentiating diagnosis of adrenal adenoma and nonadenoma can be improved.
