Objective To explore the toxicity and biological activity of cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) on osteoclasts,and to analyze the relationship between cobalt nanoparticles and osteolysis.Methods From November 2014 to July 2015,RAW264.7 cell was induced to osteoclast-like cell by LPS.Different concentrations of cobalt nanoparticles and cobalt chloride were added,and the cell morphology was observed under a microscope.24 h after induction on RAW264.7,cells were grouped into cobalt nanoparticles group (10,20,50,100 μmol/L),cobalt chloride group (10,20,50,100 mol/L) and control group.MTT assessment and Q-PCR were performed at 2 h,4 h,8 h,24 h,48 h post-treatment.Results With the increase of concentration (10,20,50,100 μmol/L) and the action time (2 h,4 h,8 h,24 h,48 h),the inhibition rate of cobalt nanoparticles and cobalt chloride on osteoclast like cells was significantly increased,and the inhibition rate of cobalt nanoparticles was higher.With different concentrations (10,20,50,100 μmol/L) of CoNPs and cobalt chloride,the relative expression of CAⅡ,Cat K gene mRNA expression decreased compared with the control group,when the concentration of CoNPs was in the range of 10-50 μ mol/L,the relative expression of CAⅡ and Cat K was increased,which was reduced in cobalt chloride group.Conclusion Different concentrations of cobalt nanoparticles and cobalt chloride can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts,and cobalt nanoparticles is more pronounced,when the concentration of cobalt nanoparticles was 10-50 μmol/L,the relative expression of osteoclasts CAⅡ,Cat K increaseed,which was suppressed at the same concentration of cobalt chloride.

Objective To investigate and compare the dynamic changes of plasma endotoxin and CD14/TLR4 levels in the portal vein following partial liver transplantation in rats. Methods 100 %(group Ⅰ), 50 % (group Ⅱ) and 30 % (group Ⅲ) orthotopic liver transplantation models in the SD rats→SD rats were established in vivo according to "Kamada two-cuff method". Based on the principle of dynamic turbidity law, the plasma endotoxin (EU/ml) levels were determined at the postoperative time points of 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h in recipients. The mRNA expression levels of CD14 and TLR4 in liver grafts were detected by using real-time RT-PCR. Results Under the condition of no significant difference in surgical factors, the plasma endotoxin levels in the portal vein of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were higher than in group Ⅰ , and reached the peak at the first h postoperation. The endotoxin levels in group Ⅱ were lower than in group Ⅲ. The endotoxin levels in sham-operation group were the highest. The mRNA expression levels of CD14 and TLR4 in groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly increased as compared with sham-operation group (P＜0. 01). Conclusion There exists portal vein plasma endotoxima in 100 %, 50 % and 30 % orthotopic liver transplantation in the rats. The smaller the graft volume, the higher and longer plasma endotoxin in portal vein, so is the relative quantification of the TLR4 and CD14 mRNA in liver grafts.

Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage is a rare cause of primary adrenal insufficiency, and bilateral adrenal hemorrhage due to anticoagulant use is even rarer. We describe the case of a 62-year-old woman receiving post total knee arthroplasty anticoagulant therapy who presented fever, vomitting, stomachache, and severe fatigue on the 8th day. It was until 4 months later that the patient was finally diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency resuting from bilateral adrenal hemorrhage, her symptoms were relieved by glucocorticoid replacement therapy. In order to promote the awareness, diagnosis, and mangement of post-surgery anticoagulants induced bilateral adrenal hemorrhage, the clinical characteristics of the reported cases were summarized and analyzed.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Bushen-Qingxin decoction for the patients with premature ovarian failure (POF) with kidney deficiency type. Methods A total of 120 POF patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. The observation group were treated with Bushen-Qingxin decoction. The control group were treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). After continuous treatment for 3 courses, the clinical efficacy, clinical symptoms and the levels of estrogen (E2), luteotropic hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were comparedbefore and after treatment. Results The total effective rate in the observation group was 86.7% (52/60), and the control group was 60.0% (36/60). The difference was statistically significant (x2=9.588, P=0.002) between two groups. The symptoms aversion to cold, and cold limbs, depressed mood, night sweats were improved significantly better than those in the control group(x2=16.464,16.214,11.525,9.938,P<0.001).After treatment,the serum E2(88.32 ± 9.35 pmol/L vs. 62.10 ± 7.22 pmol/L, t=17.848) in the observation group was significantly higher than this in the control group,while the serum FSH(32.33 ± 4.60 U/L vs.46.82 ± 5.47 U/L,t=15.704),LH(24.80 ± 3.37 U/L vs.32.16 ± 4.02 U/L, t=10.868) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). In the follow-up of 3 months, the recurrence rate in the observation group was 3.8% (2/52), but 16.7% (6/36) in the control group. The difference was statistically significant between two groups (x2=4.231, P=0.040).Conclusions The Bushen-Qingxin decocation can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and restore ovarian function.The Bushen-Qingxin decocation is an effective method for the treatment of premature ovarian failure.

Objective This study was conducted to analyze the clinical characteristics and pituitary function of patients with primary empty sella (PES).Methods The clinical data from 123 hospitalized adult patients with PES from January 2010 to May 2016 were retrospectively studied.Results (1) The average age of the 123 (male 43,female 80) PES patients was (59.2 ± 13.6) years (ranging 24-92 years),among whom 61％ patients were in the age group between 50-69 years.(2) The symptoms of the patients included fatigue (56.1％),headache (34.1％),nausea and vomiting (17.9％),gonadal dysfunction (17.1％),visual disturbance (5.7％) and hypopituitarism crisis (3.3％).(3) Hypopituitarism was found in 66 of the 123 patients.Among them,36.6％,31.7％ and 17.1％ were central hypoadrenalism,hypogonadism,and hypothyroidism,respectively.The percentage of hypopituitarism in complete PES was significantly higher than that in partial PES (P ＜ 0.05).(4) Sixteen patients were concomitant with other autoimmune diseases including 11 patients with Graves' disease and 2 with Cushing's syndrome due to adrenal adenoma.Conclusions The incidence of hypopituitarism in PES was 53.7％,in which the pituitary-adrenal axis hypofunction was more common.An overall evaluation of the pituitary function was essential for the patients who had headache and fatigue,or with suspected PES.The patients with hypopituitarism should be given hormone replacement therapy in time and followed up afterword.

SUMMARY Thehumanembryonicstemcells(hESCs)serveasaself-renewable,genetically-healthy, pluripotent and single source of all body cells,tissues and organs.Therefore,it is considered as the good standard for all human stem cells by US,Europe and international authorities.In this study,the standard and healthy human mesenchymal progenitors,ligament tissues,cardiomyocytes,keratinocytes,primary neurons,fibroblasts,and salivary serous cells were differentiated from hESCs.The human cellular health-safety of NaF,retinoic acid,5-fluorouracil,dexamethasone,penicillin G,adriamycin,lead ace-tate PbAc,bisphenol A-biglycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA)were evaluated selectively on the standar-dized platforms of hESCs,hESCs-derived cardiomyocytes,keratinocytes,primary neurons,and fibro-blasts.The evaluations were compared with those on the currently most adopted cellular platforms.Parti-cularly,the sensitivity difference of PM2.5 toxicity on standardized and healthy hESCs derived fibroblasts, currently adopted immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells Beas-2B and human umbilical vein endo-thelial cells (HUVECs)were evaluated.The results showed that the standardized hESCs cellular plat-forms provided more sensitivity and accuracy for human cellular health-safety evaluation.

To explore The clinical value of Multimode ultrasound in evaluating cerebral hemorrhage with intracranial pressure（ICP）. Methods A total of 17 patients with cerebral hemorrhage who received lumbar puncture according to their medical necessity in the ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Yanbian University from September 2019 to June 2021 were enrolled. The diameter of optic nerve sheath （ONSD） and transcranial Doppler ultrasound （TCD） were performed before lumbar puncture. The patients were divided into elevated intracranial pressure group （9 cases） and normal intracranial pressure group （8 cases），according to the results of lumbar puncture pressure （more than 200 mmH2O was defined as elevated intracranial pressure，and 80～200 mmH2O was defined as normal intracranial pressure）. The Systolic blood pressure，diastolic blood pressure，partial pressure of carbon dioxide，GCS，ONSD and TCD parameters （such as peak systolic velocity，end diastolic velocity，mean blood flow velocity and pulse index of bilateral middle cerebral artery） were compared between the two groups，and the correlation between ICP and ONSD，pulse index（PI） was analyzed. Results （1）The systolic blood pressure，diastolic blood pressure，partial pressure of carbon dioxide （P CO2） and GCS scores between the two groups were not significantly different （all P> 0.05）；（2）The ONSD was significantly higher in the elevated intracranial pressure group［（5.15±0.24） mm vs. （3.97±0.22） mm，t=10.69，P<0.001）］；（3）The systolic peak flow velocity （PSV），end diastolic flow velocity （EDV） and mean flow velocity （MV） between the two groups were not significantly different（all P> 0.05），while the PI was significantly higher in the elevated intracranial pressure group［Right（1.20±0.19） vs.（0.95±0.12），t=3.148，P=0.007）；Left（1.20±0.17） vs. （0.92±0.10），t=3.893，P=0.001）］.（4）ICP was significantly associated with PI （r=0.52，P<0.02） and ONSD（r=0.64，P<0.01）. Conclusion Combine with Ultrasonographic ONSD measurement and TCD can effectively assess intracranial hypertension in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective:To explore the correlation between preoperative nutritional status and postoperative complications in elderly patients with right-sided colon cancer.Methods:A prospective registry database of 1, 196 patients undergoing curative surgery for right-sided colon cancer was collected from 52 top-tier hospitals nationwide between September 2021 and June 2022. The cohort included 627 males and 569 females, with an age range of 64(53, 71) years. Among these, 136 patients developed complications, while 1, 060 did not. Patients were divided into two groups based on age: the elderly group(≥65 years, n=571) and the middle-aged group(<65 years, n=625). Preoperative nutritional assessment indicators, clinical pathological data, and the incidence of complications within 30 days post-surgery were collected. For normally distributed quantitative data, mean ± standard deviation( ± s) was used, and the t-test was applied for intergroup comparisons. Non-normally distributed quantitative data were represented as M( Q1, Q3) and analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test; categorical data were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. In the analysis of risk factors for postoperative complications in elderly patients, univariate analysis was first conducted on all potential risk factors, followed by the inclusion of statistically significant variables from univariate regression into a multivariate logistic regression model. Results:The overall incidence of postoperative complications was 11.37%(136/1 196), with common complications includin wound infection(2.26%), intestinal obstruction (2.26%), anastomotic leakage(1.42%), deep vein thrombosis(1.42%), and chylous leakage(1.42%). In the elderly group, the proportion of patients with preoperative nutritional risk who developed complications was significantly higher than those without complications(66.20% vs. 53.40%, P=0.043). In the multivariate analysis, body mass index( OR=1.058, 95% CI: 1.005-1.117, P=0.031) and nutritional risk( OR=1.803, 95% CI: 1.066-3.126, P=0.031) were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative complications in elderly patients. Conclusions:There is a correlation between preoperative nutritional status and the occurrence of postoperative complications in elderly colon cancer patients, particularly with respect to body mass index and nutritional risk. These findings underscore the importance of preoperative nutritional assessment and intervention in elderly patients to reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
