Efficacy of Danlou tablet on myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion injury assessed by network pharmacology and experimental verification.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential pharmacological mechanism of Danlou tablet (, DLT) with a long-term clinical application in the treatment of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury through network pharmacology, molecular docking and experimental verification. METHODS: The main chemical ingredients in DLT were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) System Pharmacology Database, the TCM information database, the bioinformatics analysis tool for molecular mechanism of TCM, and HERB database. Disease targets of I/R were accessed from the databases of Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, GeneCards, Therapeutic Target Database, and DisGeNET database. The overlaying genes of DLT and I/R were obtained from the Venny online platform. The core targets and protein-protein interaction network were constructed and analyzed via the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes Proteins database and Cytoscape software. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed by the Metascape platform. Based on the results, the component-target-pathway network was constructed and drafted via the Cytoscape software and the platform of Bioinformatics. Furthermore, we performed molecular docking to predict the binding information between chemical molecules and target proteins. Finally, oxygen-glucose deprivation/recovery (OGD/R)-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes were used to validate the results of network pharmacology in vitro. RESULTS: A total of 189 active chemical components in DLT and 849 correlative targets of I/R were screened. Of note, 133 overlaying genes found from the Venny online platform were concentrated into 28 core genes. Furthermore, the GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis presented that DLT might participate in 42 types of GO molecular functions, 747 types of GO biological processes, 19 types of GO cellular components, and 140 kinds of pathways to treat I/R. In the component-target-pathway network, the indirect relationship between herbs and their possible effective pathways was clarified. Based on the molecular docking, we speculated that Baicalein-prostaglandin G/H synthase 2 (PTGS2) with -3.24 kcal/mol, Luteolin-heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1 (HSP90AA1) with -3.22 kcal/mol, Baicalein-HSP90AA1 with -3.13 kcal/mol, and Quercetin-HSP90AA1 with -3.05 kcal/mol possessed the strongest binding force of less than -3 kcal/mol, sequentially. Experimental verification showed that Quercetin, Luteolin, and Baicalein could increase the relative cell viability of OGD/R-stimulated cardiomyocytes, probably by suppressing PTGS2, and activating HSP90AA1 and estrogen receptor 1 expression. CONCLUSIONS: We predicted the potential active compounds as the material basis of DLT that may provide a new approach to elucidate the novel pharmacological mechanism underlying the treatment of cardiac I/R damage.

Phage antibody library technology in tumor therapy: a review / 生物工程学报

Tumor is a serious threat to human health. At present, surgical resection, chemoradiotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are the main therapeutic strategies. Monoclonal antibody has gradually become an indispensable drug type in the clinical treatment of cancer due to its high efficiency and low toxicity. Phage antibody library technology (PALT) is a novel monoclonal antibody preparation technique. The recombinant immunoglobulin variable region of heavy chain (VH)/variable region of light chain (VL) gene is integrated into the phage vector, and the antibody is expressed on the phage surface in the form of fusion protein to obtain a diverse antibody library. Through the process of adsorption-elution-amplification, the antibody library can be screened to obtain the antibody molecule with specific binding antigen as well as its gene sequence. PALT has the advantages of short antibody production cycle, strong plasticity of antibody structure, large antibody yield, high diversity and direct production of humanized antibodies. It has been used in screening tumor markers and preparation of antibody drugs for breast cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer. This article reviews the recent progress and the application of PALT in tumor therapy.

stPlus: a reference-based method for the accurate enhancement of spatial transcriptomics.

MOTIVATION: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) techniques have revolutionized the investigation of transcriptomic landscape in individual cells. Recent advancements in spatial transcriptomic technologies further enable gene expression profiling and spatial organization mapping of cells simultaneously. Among the technologies, imaging-based methods can offer higher spatial resolutions, while they are limited by either the small number of genes imaged or the low gene detection sensitivity. Although several methods have been proposed for enhancing spatially resolved transcriptomics, inadequate accuracy of gene expression prediction and insufficient ability of cell-population identification still impede the applications of these methods. RESULTS: We propose stPlus, a reference-based method that leverages information in scRNA-seq data to enhance spatial transcriptomics. Based on an auto-encoder with a carefully tailored loss function, stPlus performs joint embedding and predicts spatial gene expression via a weighted k-nearest-neighbor. stPlus outperforms baseline methods with higher gene-wise and cell-wise Spearman correlation coefficients. We also introduce a clustering-based approach to assess the enhancement performance systematically. Using the data enhanced by stPlus, cell populations can be better identified than using the measured data. The predicted expression of genes unique to scRNA-seq data can also well characterize spatial cell heterogeneity. Besides, stPlus is robust and scalable to datasets of diverse gene detection sensitivity levels, sample sizes and number of spatially measured genes. We anticipate stPlus will facilitate the analysis of spatial transcriptomics. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: stPlus with detailed documents is freely accessible at http://health.tsinghua.edu.cn/software/stPlus/ and the source code is openly available on https://github.com/xy-chen16/stPlus.

Objective To investigate the effect of body mass fluctuation on the prognosis of patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods The patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in the People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from 2012 to 2014 were selected.Among the 540 patients,the patients were divided into normal body( BMI ≤ 25 kg／m2 ),overweight (25 kg／m2＜BMI＜30 kg／m2 ) and obesity (BMI ≥30 kg／m2) according to the baseline body mass.The median body mass fluctuation of the three groups was 2.40 kg,and according to the median body mass fluctuations,the patients were divided into two groups:the high body mass fluctuation group and the low body mass fluctuation group.Changes of body mass were observed and the incidence of cardiac death,acute coronary syndrome,chronic heart failure,cerebral embolism and peripheral vascular embolization were monitored.Results During the follow?up period,as the increased of body mass fluctuation,the incidence rate of end point events also increasing continuously.The main end point event was used as the composite end point (HR(95%CI): 1.03 (1.06～1.15); P＝0.02), including the cardiogenic death ( HR( 95%CI): 1.04 ( 1.09～1.12); P＝0.03),the incidence of acute coronary syndrome (HR(95%CI): 1.04 (0.96～1.08); P＝0.06) and the heart failure incidence ( HR (95%CI): 95%CI: 1.04 (1.01～1.09),P＝0.04).The secondary endpoint as composite endpoint ( HR (95%CI): 1.16 (1.15～1.31); P＝0.01),including the cerebral embolism (HR(95%CI): 1.21 (1.23～1.54); P＝0.01) and the peripheral vascular embolism (HR(95%CI): 1.03 (0.91～1.03); P＝0.01) .After adjusting for all confounding factors,the quartile group with the highest body mass fluctuations was 6.2% higher in the main endpoint event than the lowest body quartile and 14.2% higher in the secondary endpoint.The occurrence of major endpoint events and secondary endpoint events in the quadruple group with high body mass fluctuation was significantly higher than that in the quadruple group with the lowest body mass fluctuation(main endpoint: 4.4% vs 10.6%; ( HR ( 95%CI): 1.86 ( 1.53 ～ 2.41); P＜0.01;secondary endpoints: 15.6% vs 29.8%; ( HR ( 95%CI) 2.12 ( 1.56 ～ 3.58); P＜0.01).The main endpoint events were cardiogenic death (HR(95%CI): 1.85 (1.73～2.3); P＜0.01); incidence of acute coronary syndrome (HR(95%CI): 1.02 (0.94～1.35); P＝0.08); incidence of heart failure (HR(95%CI): 1.48 (1.28～1.62); P＜0.01); secondary endpoint events were cerebral embolism (HR(95%CI):2.23 (1.93～3.91).( P＜0.01),peripheral vascular embolism ( HR( 95%CI): 1.05 (0.96～1.42); P＝0.13).For patients with normal body mass,body mass fluctuations had no significant effect on prognosis (main endpoints: 6.1% vs 5.3%; (HR(95%CI): 1.04 (0.94 ～ 1.43); P＝0.064; secondary endpoint: 16.7% vs 17.4%; ( HR ( 95%CI): 1.12 ( 0.84～ 1.09); P＝0.072), but for overweight and obese patients,the greater the fluctuation of body mass,the higher the incidence of adverse events (main endpoint:super?recombination: 5.8% vs 11.2%; ( HR ( 95%CI): 1.532 ( 1.135 ～ 3.156); P＜0.001; obese group: 8.3% vs 15.1%; (HR(95%CI): 1.584 (1.258～3.489); P＜0.001; secondary end points: super recombination: 17.1% and 21.3%; (HR(95%CI): 341.00 ( 1.132～ 1.984); P＝0.013; obese group:19.4% and 25.2%; ( HR ( 95%CI): 1.315 ( 1.128～2.123); P＝ 0.018).Conclusion Body mass fluctuations can significantly affect the prognosis of patients with atrial fibrillation and has a greater impact on patients with overweight and obesity.

Effect of lung-protective ventilation on acute lung injury after liver transplantation / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To evaluate the effects of lung-protective ventilation on acute lung injury after liver transplantation.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 21-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ-Ⅳ,scheduled for elective orthotopic liver transplantation,were divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:conventional mechanical ventilation group (group CMV) and lung-protective ventilation group (group LPV).In group LPV,the patients were mechanically ventilated (tidal volume 6-8 ml/kg,respiratory rate 10-15 breaths/min,positive end-expiratory pressure 3-10 cmH2 O),and lung recruitment mnaneuver was pertormed every 2 h.Before skin incision (T1),at 3 h of preanhepatic phase (T2),at 30 min of anhepatic phase (T3) and at 2 and 4 h of neohepatic phase (T4.5),bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected and blood samples from the radial artery were simultaneously collected for determination of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-8 concentrations in BALF and serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.At 2 h after operation (T6),before tracheal extubation (T7) and at 2 days after operation (T8),blood samples from the radial artery were collected for blood gas analysis,and oxygenation index was calculated.The concentrations of serum Clara cell secretory protein 16,surfactant protein D and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products were determined at T1-T8 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The postoperative emergence time,extubation time,duration of intensive care unit stay and development of acute lung injury were recorded.Results Compared with group CMV,the cxtubation time was significantly shortened,serum concentrations of Clara cell secretory protein 16 at T2,T3,T6 and T7,serum surfactant protein D concentrations at T5 and serum concentrations of soluable receptor for advanced glycation endproducts at T5 and T6 were decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in tunor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-8 concentrations in serum and BALF at each time point or postoperative incidence of acute lung injury,oxygenation index,emergence time and duration of intensive care unit stay in group LPV (P＞0.05).Conclusion Although lung-protective ventilation dose not decrease the development of acute lung injury after liver transplantation,it attenuates lung tissue injury to some extent.

Effect of protective mechanical ventilation on plasma markers of lung injury and inflammatory mediators during general anesthesia for liver transplantation surgery / 临床麻醉学杂志

Objective To approach the effect of protective mechanical ventilation on acute lung injury after orthotopic liver transplantation, by observing changes of plasma markers of lung injury and inflammatory mediators.Methods Sixty patients scheduled for liver transplantation under general anesthesia, 42 males and 18 females, aged 21-62 years, weighing 43-80 kg, ASA physical status Ⅱ-Ⅳ, were randomly divided into 2 groups: protective mechanical ventilation group (group P) and unprotective mechanical ventilation group (group U).Pulmonary artery blood for plasma markers of lung injury and inflammatory mediators were collected at the following time points: before operation (T1), 3 hours after mechanical ventilation (T2), 2 hours (T3) and 4 hours in neohepatic stage (T4).These mediators included clara cell secretory protein (CC16), surfactant proteins (SP-D), soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE), TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8.Moreover, blood gas results were recorded at these 7 time points: T1-T4, 2 hours after operation (T5), before tracheal extubation (T6) and 2 days after operation (T7).The postoperative awakening time, tracheal extubation time, ICU stay time and the incidence of ALI were recorded.Results Compared with T1, plasma level of CC16 in the two groups increased at T2 and T3 (P<0.05 or P<0.01), however, plasma level of SP-D, sRAGE, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 did not increase until T3 (P<0.01).Moreover, plasma level of sRAGE, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 at T4 were higher than those at T1 (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Compared with T1, OIs in the two groups increased at T2, T5 and T6 (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while decreased at T4 in group P (P<0.01) and at T3 and T4 in group U (P<0.01).In group P, patients showed a lower plasma level of CC16 at T2 and T3 (P<0.05 or P<0.01), a higher OI at T3 (P<0.05) and an earlier tracheal extubation after operation [(8.9±3.2) h vs (9.3±2.8) h, P<0.05] compared with group U.There was no significant difference of acute lung injury incidence between the two groups after operation, which was 5(16.6%) and 7 (23.3%), respectively.Conclusion Protective mechanical ventilation may promote oxygenation index, and shorten tracheal extubation time, thus protect lung function of patients in liver transplantation to some extend.

[Extramedullary fixation combined with intramedullary fixation in the surgical reduction of sagittal mandibular condylar fractures].

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical effect of extramedullary fixation combined with intramedullary fixation during the surgical reduction of sagittal mandibular condylar fractures. METHODS: Twenty-four sagittal fractures of the mandibular condyle in18 patients were fixed by two appliances: intramedullary with one long-screw osteosynthesis or Kirschner wire and extramedullary with one micro-plate. The radiologically-recorded post-operative stability-associated com-plications included the screw/micro-plate loosening, micro-plate twisting, micro-plate fractures, and fragment rotation. The occluding relations, the maximalinter-incisal distances upon mouth opening, and the mandibular deflection upon mouth opening were evaluated based on follow-up clinical examination. RESULTS: Postoperative panoramic X-ray and CT scans showed good repositioning of the fragment, with no redislocation or rotation, no screw/plate loosening, and no plate-twisting or fracture. Clinical examination showed that all patients regained normal mandibular movements, ideal occlusion, and normal maximal inter-incisal distances upon mouth opening. CONCLUSIONS: Extramedullary fixation combined with intramedullary fixation is highly recommended for sagittal condylar fractures because of the anti-rotation effect of the fragment and the reasonable place-ment of the fixation appliances.

[Multiple growth-factor-releasing system stimulates proliferation of human embryonic lung fibroblasts in vitro].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the most effective method to promote human embryonic lung fibroblast proliferation, we established several novel local fibrin-gel delivery systems, which could continuously release multiple growth factors in vitro. METHODS: Multiple growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were added to fibrinogen solutions. These multiple growth-factor-containing fibrinogen solutions were converted to fibrin gel using thrombin to establish a delivery system. The kinetics and dissolution curves of the different fibrin-gel delivery systems were determined by daily measurement of the dissolved collagen volume. Human embryonic lung fibroblasts were randomly divided into 2 groups: the growth-factors (group A) and the non-growth-factors groups (group B). Based on the fibrin-gel shape, groups A and B were both randomly divided into 4 sub-groups; the fully-covered fibrin-gel, island fibrin-gel, scattered punctiform fibrin-gel and medium without fibrin-gel control groups. Cell proliferation was determined by cell counting and cell viability using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Cell proliferation rate was measured by MTT. RESULTS: (1) The peak of growth factors releasing from gel of island group was 8.2 ± 0.8 days, while that of scattered punctiform group was 8.0 ± 1.0 days, and that of the fully-covered fibrin-gel group was 9.8 ± 0.4 days. The trend of growth factor releasing was significantly different among groups (F = 31.054, P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the release kinetics between the island group and the scattered punctiform group ( t = 1. 000, P > 0. 05). The peak of growth factors releasing from gel of the fully-covered fibrin-gel group was later than that of the island groups and the scattered punctiform fibrin-gel group (t = 6.820, P < 0.01). (2) The cell proliferation rate of island gel containing growth factors subgroup (107.6 ± 1.1) % grew more rapidly than island gel without growth factors subgroup (73.2 ± 2.2) % (F = 375.29, P < 0.01). The cell proliferation rate of the scattered punctiform gel containing growth factors subgroup (141.2 ± 1.8) % grew more rapidly than the scattered punctiform gel without growth factors subgroup (106.0 ± 2.8)% (F = 2274.48, P < 0.01). (3) The trend of growth factor releasing of the scattered punctiform group was significantly faster than that of the island group (F = 12.392, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: (1) Multiple growth factors, including PDGF, TGF, VEGF and EGF, stimulate human embryonic lung fibroblast growth and proliferation. (2) The enhancement effect of the scattered punctiform fibrin-gel multiple growth-factor-releasing system on cell growth and proliferation was greater compared with the island fibrin-gel multiple growth-factor-releasing system.

Relationship between resistin, adiponectin and insulin resistance in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hy-popnea syndrome / 中国综合临床

Objective To explore relationship between resistin'adipenectin and insulin resistance(IR) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods Based on polysomnography (PSG) and disease history ,68 patients were divided into three groups: mild ( L, n = 24 ), moderate ( M, n = 13 ), severe ( S, n = 31 ) OSAHS, and normal control ( n = 20 ). Fasting serum glucose, insulin, lipoids, resistin and adipanectin were measured. HOMA-IR was calculated, the correlation between HOMA-IR and resistin, adiponectin, lipoids, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, apnea-hypopnea index ( AHI), the lowest saturation of blood oxygen ( LSaO2) and the per-centage of total sleep time spent with an oxygen saturation less than 90% (T90) were analysed. Results The levels of serum resistins in each OSAHS group were (8.04 ±2. 14), ( 10.85±4.89 ), ( 13.34±3.52 )mg/L, and were sig-nificantly higher than those in control group ( 9.49 ± 2.40) mg/L ( P < 0.05 ), S were significantly higher than L (P<0.05) ;The levels of serum adiponectin of OSAHS groups were(6. 21 ± 1.74), (4. 19±1.80), (2.26± 1.17 ) mg/L, and were significantly lower than those in control group(9.49±2.40) mg/L (P < 0.05 ), and the inter-group differences were statistically significant (P <0. 05). HOMA-IR of M and S were(4.07±0.97), (5.61± 2.26) significantly higher than those of L and control group( 1.57 ±0. 58 ), (2.47 ±1.52 ) ( P < 0.05 ), and inter-group differences between M and S were statistical significant( P < 0.05 ). Spearman correlation analysis showed that HOMA-IR was significantly positive correlated with resistin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, body mass index,waist-hip rafio,AHI,T90( r =0. 794,0.438,0. 430,0. 351,0. 456,0.775,0.624 ,P <0.01 ) ,negative with adiponectin, LSaO2 (r=-0.563, -0.623 ,P <0.01 ). Partial correlation analysis showed that after the effect of adiponeetin and resis-tin were controlled,HOMA-IR was significant positive correlation with T90 and AHI(r =0.231,0.358 ,P <0.05 ). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that, to HOMA-IR, resistin and AHI were the most significant impact factors (R2 =0.613,F=69.810,P<0.01). Conclusions HOMA-IR is significantly positively correlated with the severity of OSAHS,independent of the blood lipids, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, resistin, adiponectin and other factors;the effects of blood lipids,body mass index,waist-hip ratio and other factors on HOMA-IR probably depend on resistin and adiponectin;AHI and plasma resistin level may determine the level of insulin resistance in patients with OSAHS.
