In order to improve the quality standard of Marsdenia tenacissima, a quantitative determination method of tenacissoside H was developed using high performance liquid chromatography. The method was carried out on a YMC ODS-H80 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 4 microm) column eluted with a mixture of acetonitrile and water (50:50) as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 0.8 mL x min(-1) and the column temperature was 35 degrees C. An evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) was used with the temperature of drift tube set at 60 degrees C and the gas flow rate of nitrogen set at 1.5 mL x min(-1). The calibration curve was linear in the range from 0.5625 to 36.00 microg (r = 0.9998). The average recovery and RSD were 99.41% and 1.8%, respectively. The contents of tenacissoside H in the 11 samples from different habitats varied from 0.201% to 0.862%. The method established in this paper is specific and reliable to control and evaluate the quality of M. tenacissima.

Objective:To know the current situation of kinesiophobia in patients after cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass, and to clarify its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for developing intervention strategies to improve kinesiophobia level.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From February 2022 to September 2022, the patients after cardiac valve surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass in the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine were investigated by convenience sampling methods. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart, Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve(APGAR) as research tools, and the influencing factors were analyzed using univariate and binary Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 219 patients were included, of which 97 patients (44.3%) had kinesiophobia. The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that monthly family income level, first time out of bed after operation, fear of falling, the family APGAR, and pain catastrophizing were significant influencing factors of kinesiophobia in patients after heart valve surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of kinesiophobia is high among patients after heart valve surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. Clinicians should pay attention to patients with low monthly family income level, late first time out of bed after surgery, and fear of falling, as well as strengthen communication with patients and families, focus on the management of acute postoperative pain. In order to reduce or avoid the occurrence of kinesiophobia and enable patients to benefit from early ambulation.

BACKGROUND:Myelodysplastic syndrome has worse hazards of acute myeloid leukemia transformation,and some studies have revealed that immune infiltration plays a vital part in the two.Nevertheless,more studies are required to confirm the relationship between immune infiltration and related differentially expressed gene regulation. OBJECTIVE:To screen the differentially expressed genes with prognostic significance between myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia by bioinformatics analysis and explore the possible roles and mechanisms among these differentially expressed genes and immune infiltration mechanisms in the occurrence and progression of diseases. METHODS:The differentially expressed genes were screened for bioinformatics analysis using the GEO datasets,and analyzed by DO,GO,KEGG and GSEA.The TCGA prognostic database was used to plot the K-M curves of differentially expressed genes and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was applied to evaluate the clinical diagnostic performance.Finally,CIBERSORT analysis was used to intuitively demonstrate the correlation between critical prognostic genes and the distribution of immuno-infiltrated cells.RT-qPCR was employed to detect peripheral blood samples from healthy controls,myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia patients so as to verify the crucial genes preliminarily. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 150 differentially expressed genes were obtained between myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia,among which 16 genes were up-regulated and 134 were down-regulated.(2)The results of DO,GO,KEGG and GSEA analysis suggested that differentially expressed genes might promote the development of myelodysplastic syndrome to acute myeloid leukemia by regulating the immune response.CIBERSORT revealed the differences in immune infiltration between myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia.The distribution of CD4+ T cells,monocytes,neutrophils and M1 macrophages decreased in acute myeloid leukemia patients.In contrast,the distribution of inflammatory suppressor cells M2 macrophages increased,suggesting that it may be related to the immunosuppression of acute myeloid leukemia.(3)K-M curve and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of 150 differentially expressed genes screened out four genes relevant to immunity and prognosis with good diagnostic performance:MANSC1,FLT3,BMX and CXCR2.(4)The results of RT-qPCR exhibited that MANSC1,BMX and CXCR2 were low expressed,while FLT3 was highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia patients.These findings verify that the differential expression of MANSC1,FLT3,BMX and CXCR2 in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia is not only significantly correlated with the prognosis of patients but may also affect the occurrence and development of myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia by regulating the immune infiltration of patients.They can be used as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets of the transformation from myelodysplastic syndrome to acute myeloid leukemia,providing a new direction for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the transformation of myelodysplastic syndrome.

Objective:To establish a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) humanized mouse model for hepatoblastoma in children. In addition, compare the biological consistency between successfully modeled PDX tumors and primary tumors in children while comparing and analyzing the influence of PDX model modeling success as a key factor.Methods:A PDX tumor model was constructed from fresh tumor tissue samples from 39 children with hepatoblastoma. The tumor growth time and volume size were recorded in detail. Simultaneously, 39 children’s data were collected for experimental and clinical analysis. The difference in tumorigenesis rate between different parameters was analyzed by χ2 test (categorical variable). Continuous variables with a normal distribution were compared using the t-test. Results:After cell passage and pathological diagnosis, 21 cases of hepatoblastoma PDX models were successfully constructed, with a success rate of 53.8% (21/39). Tumor samples from each generation of successfully modeled PDX models had pathology results that were consistent with those of the corresponding primary tumors. The analysis of the key factors affecting the tumor formation rate of PDX revealed that the metastasis rate was more successful in primary tumors than in liver in situ tumors (7/8 vs. 14/31, P = 0.049). However, there was no significant difference between tumor formation rates and pathological subtypes. According to the PDX tumor formation group comparison between the primary tumor and the metastatic tumor, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of tumor formation time and tumor volume. Hematoxylin-eosin staining in hepatoblastoma’s PDX mouse was consistent with the primary tumor. Immunohistochemistry positivity rates of four proteins, namely hepatocyte antigen (Hepatocyte), phosphatidylinositol glycan 3, β-catenin, and alpha-fetoprotein, in primary tumor tissues and PDX mouse models were 100% vs. 100%, 100% vs. 95.24%, 100% vs. 100%, and 95.24% vs. 85.71%, respectively. Conclusion:A PDX mouse model for hepatoblastoma has been successfully established in children. The tumor formation rate is high, with metastatic tumors having a higher tumor formation rate than primary tumors and transplanted tumors retaining the biological characteristics of primary tumors.
