Objective To investigate the effect of miR-21 on the secretion of IFN-γ and IL-17 from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in type 1 diabetic patients (T1D). Methods The expression levels of miR-21 in PBMC from 60 T1D patients and controls by quantitative real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were detected and the secretions of IFN-γ and IL-17 from T1D PBMC after transfection with miR-21 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results The expression of miR-21 in PBMC from T1D patients was significantly lower than the control (P<0.01). The levels of IFN-γand IL-17 from T1D PBMC after transfection with miR-21 were remarkably downregulated compared to the control (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion Compared with that at the healthy control group, the expression of miR-21 in PBMC from T1D patients is decreased. MiR-21 could suppress the secretions of IFN-γand IL-17 from PBMC in T1D patients.

Through the map analysis of various metabolites in rat's urine, the biomarkers in syndrome suitable for Small Qing-Long Decoction (SQLD) were found out, which provided objective basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment. Based on the rat's urine nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum detection of the blank control group, the model group and the SQLD group, the data come from the map by MestRenova pretreatment and integration were analyzed using SIMCA-P+ by (PLS-DA). Then, the corresponding scatter diagram and diagram of loading were re-ceived and the differences of metabolites were found out by the comparison . The results showed that compared with the blank control group, contents of creatinine, guanidinoacetic acid, trimethylamine, taurine, allantoin metabolites in the model group had elevated. And the contents of succinic acid, 2-OG, lactic acid, glycine, methyl nicotine metabolite had decreased. After medication, contents of creatinine, trimethylamine, allantoin, taurine of SQLD group were still higher than the blank control group. However, the contents were reduced compared with the model group. The content of lactic acid was lower than the blank control group, but higher than the model group. There was no statistical significance on changes of guanidinoacetic acid, 2-OG, N-nornicotine. It was concluded that substances found were mainly related to energy metabolism, inflammation and immune resistance, which was especially related to energy metabolism change obviously.

BACKGROUND: The clinical application of one-level osteotomy and multilevel osteotomy has been well documented, but currently few studies were reported to compare their biomechanical characteristics.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the biomechanical characteristics of one-level osteotomy with Dick screw fixation and multilevel osteotomy with Luque instrumentation in the treatment of kyphosis.DESIGN: Randomized comparative experiment.SETTING: Laboratory of the Department of Orthopedics, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.MATERIALS: Fresh specimens of thoracic and lumbar spinal segments obtained from 12 3 or 4-year-old calves.METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Orthopedics, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University between September 2002 and September 2003. Fresh spinal segments T8-L5 from 12 calves were randomized into an intact group, Dick screw group with one-level osteotomy with Dick screw fixation and Luque group with multilevel osteotomy with Luque instrumentation, with 4 spesimens in each group. Lateral bending test of the specimens was performed to examine the physiological overload using an Instron 5 500 universal material testing machine at the constant speed of 10 mm/minute until fracture or dislocation was induced. Changes in the loading were recorded and the induced injuries observed to obtain the load-displacement curve of the injury test.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The load-displacement curve of the destructive right bending test in each group.RESULTS:All the data of 12 canines were involved in the result analysis.The spinal segments of the intact group yielded to the force of 3 600 N with a flat and smooth load-displacement curve, and those of Dick screw group yielded to a load of 2 800 N with also a relatively flat curve, while in Luque group, the segments did not yield until a load of 7 160 N, followed by drastic decrease of the resistance to less than 4 000 N, generating a flat and smooth curve afterwards.CONCLUSION: Luque instrumentation is a little more preferable than Dick screw in terms of the maximum resistance, but this difference does not justify the clinical decision of their superiority. Both techniques benefit postoperative recovery of spinal function with strong stability.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the early mortality and related risk factors in adult patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods:Adult MHD patients from 2008 to 2018 were enrolled and divided into training data group and validation data group. In training data group, multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of early death within 120 days after hemodialysis and establish a prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to evaluate the prediction ability of the model.Results:A total of 4 885 patients were included. The cumulative mortality within 120 days was 20.97/100 person years, and that within 365 days was 12.25/100 person years. A total of 3 603 patients in the training data group were analyzed. The following risk factors were correlated with early mortality (all P<0.05), including age at start of dialysis over 60 years old ( OR=1.792), non-chronic glomerulonephritis ( OR=2.214), cardio-cerebrovascular disease ( OR=2.695), plasma albumin less than 35 g/L ( OR=1.358), platelet count less than 120×10 9/L ( OR=2.194), serum creatinine less than 600 μmol/L ( OR=1.652), blood urea nitrogen over 30 mmol/L ( OR=1.887), blood phosphorus less than 1.13 mmol/L ( OR=1.783), pulse pressure over 55 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) ( OR=1.656), low density lipoprotein less than 1.5 mmol/L ( OR=1.873), and blood calcium over 2.5 mmol/L ( OR=1.876). Risk prediction model was established. The other 1 282 cases in the validation data group were verified. The area under ROC curve was 0.810, with sensitivity 85.7%, and specificity 62.5%. Conclusion:The mortality rate of adult MHD patients within 120 days after dialysis is high. The established prediction model can effectively predict the risk of early death.

Objective:To explore the relationship between end-dialysis over-weight (edOW) in initial stage of hemodialysis and long-term prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods:The data of initial uremia patients receiving hemodialysis in the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 1, 2008 to April 30, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The end point of follow-up was death or until April 30, 2018. The general data including age, gender, body mass index, primary disease, complications and laboratory indicators of the patients and the related parameters of dialysis from four to twelve months were collected. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival rate. Cox multivariate regression was used to analyze the relationship between edOW and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality.Results:A total of 469 patients (300 males, 64.0%) were enrolled, with age of (56.9±17.1)years old. During the follow-up period of (4.1±2.4) years (1.0-10.3 years), 102 patients died. The main cause of death was cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, accounting for 44.1% (45/102). The value of edOW was (0.28±0.02) kg. The patients were divided into edOW<0.28 kg group ( n=292) and edOW≥0.28 kg group ( n=177) according to the mean value of edOW. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the long-term survival rate in edOW<0.28 kg group was higher than that in edOW≥0.28 kg group (Log-rank χ2=4.134, P=0.043), and the CVD mortality in edOW≥0.28 kg group was significantly higher than that in edOW<0.28 kg group (Log-rank χ2=11.136, P=0.001). Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that high edOW was an independent influencing factor for all-cause death and CVD death in hemodialysis patients ( HR=1.541, 95% CI 1.057-2.249, P=0.025; HR=1.930, 95% CI 1.198-3.107, P=0.007). Conclusion:High edOW in early phase is an independent influencing factor of all-cause and CVD death in hemodialysis patients.
