High cut-off membranes in patients requiring renal replacement therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Whether high cut-off (HCO) membranes are more effective than high-flux (HF) membranes in patients requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains controversial. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the efficacy of HCO membranes regarding the clearance of inflammation-related mediators, β2-microglobulin and urea; albumin loss; and all-cause mortality in patients requiring RRT.@*METHODS@#We searched all relevant studies on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, with no language or publication year restrictions. Two reviewers independently selected studies and extracted data using a prespecified extraction instrument. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Summary estimates of standardized mean differences (SMDs) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) and risk ratios (RRs) were obtained by fixed-effects or random-effects models. Sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses were performed to determine the source of heterogeneity.@*RESULTS@#Nineteen RCTs involving 710 participants were included in this systematic review. Compared with HF membranes, HCO membranes were more effective in reducing the plasma level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) (SMD -0.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.48 to -0.01, P   =  0.04, I2  = 63.8%); however, no difference was observed in the clearance of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (SMD 0.03, 95% CI -0.27 to 0.33, P  = 0.84, I2  = 4.3%), IL-10 (SMD 0.22, 95% CI -0.12 to 0.55, P  = 0.21, I2  = 0.0%), or urea (WMD -0.27, 95% CI -2.77 to 2.23, P  = 0.83, I2  = 19.6%). In addition, a more significant reduction ratio of β 2 -microglobulin (WMD 14.8, 95% CI 3.78 to 25.82, P  = 0.01, I2  = 88.3%) and a more obvious loss of albumin (WMD -0.25, 95% CI -0.35 to -0.16, P  < 0.01, I2  = 40.8%) could be observed with the treatment of HCO membranes. For all-cause mortality, there was no difference between the two groups (risk ratio [RR] 1.10, 95% CI 0.87 to 1.40, P  = 0.43, I2  = 0.0%).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Compared with HF membranes, HCO membranes might have additional benefits on the clearance of IL-6 and β 2-microglobulin but not on TNF-α, IL-10, and urea. Albumin loss is more serious with the treatment of HCO membranes. There was no difference in all-cause mortality between HCO and HF membranes. Further larger high-quality RCTs are needed to strengthen the effects of HCO membranes.

Development and primary evaluation of a minimally invasive surgical robot system in endoscopic submucosal dissection: an ex vivo feasibility study / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective:To develop a novel, flexible, dual-arm, master-slave digestive endoscopic minimally invasive surgical robot system named dual-arm robotic endoscopic assistant for minimally invasive surgery (DREAMS) and to evaluate its feasibility for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) by using ex vivo porcine stomachs.Methods:A novel endoscopic robot (DREAMS) system was developed which was composed of a flexible two-channel endoscope, two flexible robotic manipulators, a master controller, a robotic arm, and a control system. A total of 10 artificial round-like lesions with diameters ranging from 15 to 25 mm were created (5 in gastric antrum and 5 in gastric body) by using fresh peeled stomach of healthy pigs as the model. Submucosal dissection was performed with the assistance of the DREAMS system by two operators. The main outcome was submucosal dissection speed, and the secondary outcomes included muscular injury rate, perforation rate, and grasping efficiency of the robot.Results:All 10 lesions were successfully dissected en bloc by using the DREAMS system. The diameter of the artificial lesions was 22.34±2.39 mm, dissection time was 15.00±8.90 min, submucosal dissection speed was 141.79±79.12 mm 2/min, and the number of tractions required by each ESD was 4.2 times. Muscular injury occurred in 4/10 cases of ESD. No perforation occurred. Conclusion:The initial animal experiment shows the DREAMS system is safe and effective.

Shire Biqing Pill in Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis with Damp-heat Obstruction Syndrome and Its Effect on OPG/RANKL/RANK Signaling Pathway and TNF-α / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo study the clinical efficacy of Shire Biqing pill in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis （damp-heat obstruction syndrome） and its effect on the expression of serum osteoprotegerin （OPG）， nuclear factor-κB receptor activating factor ligand （RANKL）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and to explore its mechanism from the perspective of bone destruction. MethodPatients with rheumatoid arthritis （damp-heat obstruction syndrome） were randomly divided into two groups， with 36 patients in each group. The control group was treated with methotrexate tablets and celecoxib capsule， while the treatment group was treated with Shire Biqing pill based on the control group. The treatment period was 3 months. The pain visual analogue scale （VAS） score， joint tenderness number， joint swelling number， disease activity score （DAS28-ESR）， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom quantitative score， and related adverse reactions were recorded before and after treatment， and the peripheral serum OPG， RANKL， TNF-α， erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR）， and Creactive protein （CRP） were detected. ResultAfter treatment， the total effective rate was 88.57% （31/35） in the treatment group and 79.41% （27/34） in the control group. The total effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group （Z=-2.089， P<0.05）. The pain VAS score， joint tenderness number， joint swelling number， and DAS28-ESR of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment （P<0.05）， and the pain VAS score， joint tenderness number， joint swelling number， and DAS28-ESR of the treatment group were significantly better than those of the control group after treatment （P<0.05）. Compared with that before treatment， the TCM symptom quantitative score in the two groups decreased significantly （P<0.05）， and the decrease was more obvious in the treatment group than in the control group （P<0.05）. Compared with those before treatment， the levels of RANKL， TNF-α， ESR， and CRP in the two groups decreased and the level of OPG increased （P<0.05）， and the changes in the treatment group were more obvious that in the control group （P<0.05）. There were no serious adverse events or serious adverse reactions during this clinical trial. ConclusionShire Biqing pill can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis （damp-heat obstruction syndrome） with good safety. Shire Biqing pill effectively regulate the OPG/RANKL/RANK system and reduce the pro-inflammatory factor TNF-α， which may be its mechanism in the intervention in rheumatoid arthritis bone destruction.

Aberrant Inter-hemispheric Connectivity in Patients With Recurrent Major Depressive Disorder: A Multimodal MRI Study.

Objective: Inter-hemispheric network dysconnectivity has been well-documented in patients with recurrent major depressive disorder (MDD). However, it has remained unclear how structural networks between bilateral hemispheres relate to inter-hemispheric functional dysconnectivity and depression severity in MDD. Our study attempted to investigate the alterations in corpus callosum macrostructural and microstructural as well as inter-hemispheric homotopic functional connectivity (FC) in patients with recurrent MDD and to determine how these alterations are related with depressive severity. Materials and Methods: Resting-state functional MRI (fMRI), T1WI anatomical images and diffusion tensor MRI of the whole brain were performed in 140 MDD patients and 44 normal controls matched for age, sex, years of education. We analyzed the macrostructural and microstructural integrity as well as voxel-mirrored homotopic functional connectivity (VMHC) of corpus callosum (CC) and its five subregion. Two-sample t-test was used to investigate the differences between the two groups. Significant subregional metrics were correlated with depression severity by spearman's correlation analysis, respectively. Results: Compared with control subjects, MDD patients had significantly attenuated inter-hemispheric homotopic FC in the bilateral medial prefrontal cortex, and impaired anterior CC microstructural integrity (each comparison had a corrected P < 0.05), whereas CC macrostructural measurements remained stable. In addition, disruption of anterior CC microstructural integrity correlated with a reduction in FC in the bilateral medial prefrontal cortex, which correlated with depression severity in MDD patients. Furthermore, disruption of anterior CC integrity exerted an indirect influence on depression severity in MDD patients through an impairment of inter-hemispheric homotopic FC. Conclusion: These findings may help to advance our understanding of the neurobiological basis of depression by identifying region-specific interhemispheric dysconnectivity.

Objective:To explore the association of microsatellite polymorphism of MICA gene with susceptibility to esophageal cancer.Methods: PCR-STR microsatellite genotyped technique was used to detect the polymorphism of MICA in Exon 5 in 103 cases of esophageal cancer and 84 cases of normal controls.Constructed of eukaryotic expression vector in esophageal carcinoma with high frequency of occurrence of the MICA allele.NK cells killing effect to 293T cells after alleles MICA transfected were assayed by LDH and the effect on target was 20∶1.ELISA was used to test supernatants sMICA of 293T cell after transfected.Results: Identified five allelic genes in MICA Exon 5 with esophageal cancer.Each allele and its frequency respectively were:MICA-A4(9.71%),MICA-A5(22.3%),MICA-A5.1(40.8%),MICA-A6(15.5%),MICA-A9(11.7%).MICA-A5.1 showed significant difference comparison with the control group.After 293T cell line was transfected MICA allele,MICA-A5.1 group was less sensitive to NK cytotoxicity compared to other groups[(30.4±6.3)%,P<0.05].The secretion of soluble MICA increased(135.7±6.2)pg/ml.Conclusion: Esophageal cancer was relevent with the MICA-A5.1 polymorphism of MICA Exon 5 alleles.Its risk is higher than other alleles.

Microstructural Abnormalities of Basal Ganglia and Thalamus in Bipolar and Unipolar Disorders: A Diffusion Kurtosis and Perfusion Imaging Study

OBJECTIVE: Bipolar disorder (BD) is often misdiagnosed as unipolar depression (UD), leading to mistreatment and poor clinical outcomes. However, little is known about the similarities and differences in subcorticalgray matter regions between BD and UD. METHODS: Thirty-five BD patients, 30 UD patients and 40 healthy controls underwent diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) and three dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D ASL). The parameters including mean kurtosis (MK), axial kurtosis (Ka), radial kurtosis (Kr), fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (Da), radial diffusivity (Dr) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) were measured by using regions-of-interest analysis in the caudate, putamen and thalamus of the subcortical gray matter regions. RESULTS: UD exhibited differences from controls for DKI measures and CBF in the left putamen and caudate. BD showed differences from controls for DKI measures in the left caudate. Additionally, BD showed lower Ka in right putamen, higher MD in right caudate compared with UD. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed the Kr of left caudate had the highest predictive power for distinguishing UD from controls. CONCLUSION: The two disorders may have overlaps in microstructural abnormality in basal ganglia. The change of caudate may serve as a potential biomarker for UD.

Investigation of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient from Ultra-high b-Values in Parkinson's Disease.

OBJECTIVES: To assess brain damage in Parkinson's disease (PD) based on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) data obtained from ultra-high b-values. METHODS: Eighteen PD patients and 18 controls received diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with standard b-values (0, 1,000 s/mm(2)) and 15 b-values (0-5,000 s/mm(2)). Standard ADC (ADCst) maps were calculated from standard b-values, while maps of pure diffusion coefficients (D), pseudo-diffusion coefficients (D(*)), and ultra-high ADCs (ADCuh) were calculated from the 15 b-values using a tri-component model. In this model, D and D(*) values were quantified with a bi-exponential equation using b-values less than 2,000 s/mm(2), while ADCuh was quantified by fitting the signals at ultra-high b-values (2,000-5,000 s/mm(2)) to the mono-exponential equation. ADCst, ADCuh, D, and D(*) of the globus pallidus (GP), putamen (P), and substantia nigra (SN) were compared between PD patients and normal control subjects. RESULTS: ADCuh of the GP, P, and SN was significantly lower in PD patients than those in control subjects (P < 0.001), while ADCst, D, and D(*) of the GP, P and SN were not different between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: ADCuh may be a useful measurement for evaluating brain damage in PD patients. KEY POINTS: • DWI with ultra-high b-values may provide new insight into Parkinson's disease pathology • ADC calculated using ultra-high b-values is different between PD and controls • ADC uh may be associated with water transportation by aquaporins.

Transfusion of partially HLA-matched irradiated allogeneic blood mononuclear cells for advanced renal-tell carcinoma / 中国癌症杂志

Background and purpose: Renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) is susceptible to immune therapy including the use of the nonmyeloablative allogeneic transplantation(NAT). However, NST can produce severe toxicity, so it might not be appropriate for many patients with metastatic RCC. Other novel allogeneic immunotherapies have been designed to induce an autologous immune response directed against the malignancy. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of infusions of partially HLA-matched irradiated allogeneic blood mononuclear cells for advanced renal-cell carcinoma. Methods: Patients with histologically proven diagnosis of advanced RCC received infusions of partially HLA-matched allogeneic blood mononuclear cells. Repeat infusions were given every 8 weeks. Treatment was continued until disease progressed, unacceptable toxicity, or patient (or donor) choice. Results: Eight patients were enrolled. After every infusion, 6 patients received an oral administration of thalidomide daily with 100-300 mg/d for 2 months. One patient had durable complete response. Five stable diseases and two progress diseases were observed. In eight patients, time to progression and survival were 320 and 879+days, respectively. Severe toxicity was not observed. Conclusion: Infusions of partially HLA-matcbed irradiated allogeneic blood mononuclear cells for advanced RCC may induce some antitumor effects and deserves further study.

Effects of sMICA on receptors of NK cells in breast cancer / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective To observe the expression of cytotoxicity and receptors on NK cells in breast cancer,and investigate the impact of soluble MICA(sohble MHC class Ⅰ-related molecules A,sMICA) on NK cells receptors expression and cytotoxicity.Methods ELISA was used to examine the sMICA in peripheral blood.The expressions of activated receptor(NKG2D),killer inhibitory receptor (KIR)(CD158b) and NK cells were identified by flow cytometry(FCM).Cytotoxicity of NK cells to breast cancer were tested by MTT.Results sMICA was (205.36±71.27)ng/L in breast cancer patients and 81.6 % samples were detected.There were positive correlations between sMICA levels with breast cancer stages.There were no difference of NK cells percentage between breast cancer and healthy person.The cytotoxicity of NK cells and expressions of NKG2D were obviously lower in breast cancer with sMICA(+) than in healthy person,but CD158b was higher in healthy person.After cultured with sMICA,NK cells cytotoxicity decreased from(76.2±6.7)% to(48.4±4.1)% and the expression of NKG2D reduced from(92.5±7.1)% to (62.5±6.4)%,but the the expression of CD158b increased from(10.6±3.2)% to (43.6±3.4)%.IL-15 up regulated the expression of NKG2D and NK cells cytotoxicity,but decreased the expression of CD158b by co-culturation with IL-15 and sMICA in sMICA+ patients with breast cancer.Conclusion sMICA reduced the expression of NKG2D and increased the expression of Kill,which lead to the down regulation of NK cells cytotoxicity.IL-15 can reverse this effect.
