Objective To explore whether hepatocyte Perilipin-2(Plin2)is involved in the development of fatty liver related to comparative gene identification-58(CGI-58)deficiency mice and compare the effects of Plin2 and Plin3 on lipid droplet formation and lipid accumulation.Methods Based on CGI-58Flox/Flox mice as animal model,the adeno-associated viruses targeting mouse liver,CGI-58 knockout and Plini2 knockdown were achieved by co-expression Cre protein and micro-RNA targeting Plin2(Mi-KD).Then CGI-58 deficiency mice were used as control(NC)to detect the differences in metabolic phenotype and liver pathology.AML-12 mouse hepatocytes were used as cellular model and interfered with siRNA to achieve Plin2/Plin3 knockdown in AML-12 cells.Lipid droplet formation and lipid accumulation were compared with Bodipy staining and enzyme colorimetry in basal condition or lipid-overloaded condition(OA inducement)after Plin2/Plin3 knockdown.Results Plin2 knockdown(Mi-KD)reduced PLIN2 protein level by＞99％in mouse livers.Mi-KD decreased hepatomegaly(P=0.019 5)and liver injury(P=0.000 4),while reduced the histological NAS score(P=0.000 2)and hepatic triglyceride content(P=0.016 6)in the CGI-58 deficiency female mice.Mi-KD prevented microvesicular hepatic steatosis in the CGI-58 deficient female mice.Plin3 knockdown significantly reduced the triglyceride content in basal condition of hepatocytes(P=0.001 4),and Plin2 knockdown just showed a decreased trend.Plin2 or Plin3 knockdown significantly reduced the triglyceride content separately in lipid-overloaded hepatocytes(P＜0.05).Conclusion Hepatocyte Plin2 is essential in the development of microvesicular hepatic steatosis caused by CGI-58 deficiency.Both Plin2 and Plin3 are involved in lipid droplet formation and lipid accumulation in hepatocytes,and Plin3 shows a stronger effect.

Interleukin-34(IL-34)is a member of the interleukin family and functions primarily as a macrophage growth factor.It plays a role in a variety of inflammatory and immune diseases by binding to specific receptors to activate multiple signaling pathways,thereby regulating target immune cell activity.Studies have shown the involvement of IL-34 in cutaneous immunoregulation,particularly in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis(AD).The expression level of IL-34 is significantly reduced in the lesional skin of AD patients,and its role as a potential negative regulator may function by modulating the levels of inflammatory factors and skin barrier components.Increasing local IL-34 levels in the skin may help to limit the progression of the inflammatory response.Therefore,in order to better understand the role of IL-34 in the pathogenesis of AD and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target,this article reviews the signal transduction mechanism,biological characteristics and the role of IL-34 in AD.

Objective:To explore the categories and influencing factors of family caregivers′benefit finding in patients with esophageal cancer based on latent profile analysis.Methods:From May 2020 to February 2021, 255 primary family caregivers of patients with esophageal cancer in the First People′s Hospital of Changzhou and Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University were selected for the study using a cross-sectional survey method. Surveys were conducted by the General Information Questionnaire, the Benefit finding Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Event Related Rumination Inventory.Results:The benefit finding among family caregivers of patients with esophageal cancer was divided into 2 latent profile classifications, low benefit rumination group 33.3% (85/255) and high growth adaptation group 66.7% (170/255), and the results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that caregivers with high school education or above ( OR=0.053, P<0.05) and higher deliberate rumination scores ( OR=0.778, P<0.01) had a higher degree of benefit finding; caregivers with higher intrusive rumination scores ( OR=1.163, P<0.05) and higher anxiety ( OR=1.323, P<0.01) and depression scores ( OR=1.128, P<0.05) had a lower benefit finding. Conclusions:There is heterogeneity in the caregiver′s benefit finding of patients with esophageal cancer. Health professionals and nursing staff should develop targeted psychological support and interventions to improve the caregiver ′s benefit finding according to the different sub-types of caregivers.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of "tail compression fixation+suture bridge" technology under shoulder arthroscopy for treating primary tear in medial enthesis of rotator cuff. METHODS: The clinical data of 11 patients with primary tear in medial enthesis of rotator cuff who met the selection criteria between October 2020 and October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 3 males and 8 females, aged 39-79 years, with an average of 61.0 years. Rotator cuff injury was caused by traumatic fall in 8 cases, and the time from injury to admission was 1-4 months, with an average of 2.0 months; the remaining 3 cases had no obvious inducement. The active range of motion of the affected shoulder was limited, with an active forward flexion range of motion of (64.1±10.9)°, abduction of (78.1±6.4)°, internal rotation of (48.2±6.6)°, and external rotation of (41.8±10.5)°; 5 cases had shoulder stiffness. The preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 7.8±0.8 and the American Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score was 23.9±6.4. The patients were treated with "tail compression fixation+suture bridge" technology under shoulder arthroscopy, and the pain and functional recovery were evaluated by VAS score, ASES score, and active range of motion of shoulder joint at last follow-up; MRI was performed after operation, and the integrity of rotator cuff was evaluated by Sugaya classification system. RESULTS: All the 11 patients were followed up 2-22 months, with an average of 13.5 months. All incisions healed by first intention, and there was no complication such as infection, rotator cuff re-tear, and anchor falling off. At last follow-up, the VAS score was 0.8±0.7 and the ASES score was 93.5±4.2, which significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). All 11 patients had no significant swelling in the shoulders, and the active range of motion was (165.1±8.8)° in flexion, (75.3±8.4)° in abduction, (56.6±5.5)° in internal rotation, and (51.8±4.0)° in external rotation, which significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). Shoulder MRI showed adequate tendon thickness and good continuity in 9 cases, including 4 cases with partial high signal area; and 2 cases with inadequate tendon thickness but high continuity and partial high signal area. According to Sugaya classification system, there were 4 cases of type 1 (36.4%), 5 cases of type 2 (45.5%), and 2 cases of type 3 (18.1%). CONCLUSION For the patients with primary tear in medial enthesis of rotator cuff, the "tail compression fixation+suture bridge" technology under shoulder arthroscopy is simple and effective.

Objective:To explore the incidence and risk factors of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA).Methods:Data of 500 patients before TJA from March 2015 to August 2016 who underwent ultrasound surveillance were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into DVT group and non-DVT group according to results of ultrasound. Parameters including demographic data, basic medical history, and surgical information and laboratory indexes were collected. Risk factors were assessed via univariate, multivariate and logistic regression analysis.Results:Preoperative DVT was detected in 23 cases (4.6%, 23/500), all of which occurred in the intermuscular vein with no symptom, and among them there were 16 cases (5.6%, 16/285) before total knee arthroplasty and 7 cases (3.3%, 7/215) before total hip arthroplasty. Univariate analysis showed that age ( t=2.266, P=0.024), female patients ( χ2=4.028, P=0.045), history of hypertension ( χ2=7.907, P=0.005), D-dimer ≥0.5 μg/ml ( χ2=13.171, P < 0.001) were significantly higher than those in non-DVT group, and the differences were statistically significant. Multivariate analysis showed that D-dimer ≥0.5 μg/ml [ OR=6.655, 95% CI (1.929, 22.960), P=0.003] and history of hypertension [ OR=2.715, 95% CI (1.017, 7.250), P=0.046] were independent risk factors for preoperative DVT. Among them, the thrombus of 14 cases located in the operation side, 6 cases in non-operation side, and 3 cases in bilateral sides. Postoperative ultrasound showed that newly DVT occurred in 9 patients of whom 5 cases located in the contralateral muscular veins and 4 cases in the nearby muscular veins. After discharge, 22 patients (95.7%) with preoperative DVT were further evaluated by ultrasound. The average follow-up time was 3.0 months (range from 6 weeks to 9 months). The results showed that thrombus of 7 cases were completely dissolved, 13 cases were partially dissolved, and 2 cases remained unchanged. Thrombus extensions to proximal veins or symptomatic PE were not found. Conclusion:The incidence of preoperative DVT in patients with elective joint replacement was about 4.6%, among which D-dimer ≥0.5 μg/ml and history of hypertension were the risk factors for preoperative thrombosis.

OBJECTIVE：To prov ide referen ce for clinical safe and rational use of belimumab by mining the risk signals of adverse drug event （ADE）. METHODS ：ADE reports related to belimumab were collected from FDA adverse event reporting system（FAERS）from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2021. The reporting odds ratio （ROR）method and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency （MHRA）method were adopted to mine the ADE risk signals related to belimumab，setting the threshold as the number of reports ＞3 and the lower limit of 95％ CI ＞1（ROR method ）and the proportional reporting ratio （PRR）＞2，and χ2 ＞4（MHRA method ）. ADEs were counted and classified by using the preferred system organ class （SOC）and preferred term （PT）of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities （MedDRA）. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS：A total of 3 529 ADE reports with belimumab as the primary suspicious drug were screened ，in which female patients（90.31％）were much more than male patients （6.15％）；age distribution was concentrated in 18-59 years old （41.80％）. There were 1 234 cases（34.97％）of severe ADE reports ，mainly involving hospital or prolonged hospital stay. Most of the reporters were consumers or other non-medical professionals （81.84％）. North America reported the most （70.39％）and the main reporting country was the United States （2 029 reports）. A total of 180 PTs were mined from 3 529 reports，in addition to PTs associated with primary disease （systemic lupus erythematosus ，pain，arthralgia，pyrexia，weight decreased ，swelling，oropharyngeal pain ， etc.），PTs related to medication error （product dose omission ，inappropriate schedule of product administration ，underdose， product availability issue ，etc.）and PTs related to infection （influenza，urinary tract infection ，infection，sinusitis，etc.）were reported in a large number of cases. Twenty-six SOCs were involved ，the top 10 SOC in ADE reports were all kinds of injuries ， poisoning and surgical complications （2 225 reports），infections and infectious diseases （1 247 reports），general disorders and administration site conditions （1 196 reports），musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders （1 195 reports），surgical and medical procedures（515 reports），etc. PTs in SOC in the first place （all kinds of injuries ，poisoning and surgical complications ）of ADE reports were all related to medication error ；herpes zoster ，kidney infection and cellulitis in SOC in the second place （infections and infectious diseases ）of ADE reports were not included in the drug instruction of belimumab ；most PTs in SOCs such as various nervous system diseases ，immune system diseases ，mental diseases ，benign，malignant and unknown tumors （including cystic and polypoid）which were taken attention in clinic were not included in the drug instruction of belimumab. It is suggested to avoid medication errors as far as possible in clinical use of belimumab ，and to guard against adverse reactions such as herpes zoster ， kidney infection ，cellulitis and various nervous system diseases ，immune system diseases and mental diseases. In addition ，the patients with malignant tumor or related history should use belizumab carefully.

The incidence rate of thyroid cancer and thyroid nodule in China are rising and surgical operation is the main treatment for thyroid nodule and thyroid carcinoma.It has been controversial whether thyroid surgery is suitable for day surgery.Perfect preoperative examination and anesthesia assessment,selection of an appropriate of patients and minimally invasive surgery,good postoperative analgesia and the prevention and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting,recognition and treatment of postoperative complications timely,postoperative follow-up,can ensure safety of patient with thyroid ambulatory surgery,and made the same medical quality as the surgery in hospital.Under certain criteria,thyroid ambulatory surgery is safety,high efficient,economy and time-efficient.It is a reasonable surgical management mode which can reduce days of hospitalization and hospitalization cost.But it still need further study on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of patients,anesthesia techniques and perioperative management.

Objective To observe the expression of PAX-2 and PTEN in different types of endometrial lesions, and to study their relationship with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN). Methods 60 cases of endometrial hyperplasic lesions and 70 cases of endometrial carcinoma were enrolled. All cases were reclassified by using the diagnostic criteria of EIN, and PAX-2 and PTEN were stained to compare the difference among them. Results The deletion rates of PAX-2 in benign hyperplasia, EIN and endometrial carcinoma were 39.5 % (15/38), 72.7 % (16/22) and 78.6 % (55/70), respectively, and there was a statistical difference (χ2= 21.664, P= 0.000). The deletion rates of PTEN in benign hyperplasia, EIN and endometrial carcinoma were 47.4%(18/38), 54.5%(12/22) and 75.7%(53/70), respectively, and there was no statistical difference (χ2=2.878, P=0.411). Conclusion The staining of PAX-2 could be considered as a reliable adjuvant diagnostic method in the diagnostic criteria of EIN, however, the loss of PTEN just should be regarded as a suggestion of EIN, not a confirmed diagnostic basis.

Objective To understand the association between peripheral leukocytes telomere length (TL) and sleep in middle-aged and old adults.Methods A total of 176 middle-aged and old adults were investigated by using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and questionnaire.TL was measured by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The correlation and regression analysis between sleep and telomere length was performed.Results TL had a mean T/S ratio of 0.995 ± 0.23.There was a negative correlation between TL and age (r=-0.241,P=0.003).With increasing age,sleep quality became worse (r=-0.230,P＜0.01),the time to fall asleep became longer (r=0.227,P＜0.01),sleep duration was shorter (r=-0.486,P＜0.01),sleep efficiency became worse (r=-0.226,P＜0.01).After controlling for the effects of gender,age,marital status,income level,residence,smoking,drinking,physical exercise and disease status,multiple linear regression analysis indicated that sleep quality (β3=0.057,P＜0.01),time to fall asleep (β =-0.046,P＜0.01),sleep duration (β3=0.086,P＜0.01) were independent influencing factors of telomere length,suggesting that the people who had better sleep quality,the shorter time to fall asleep,the longer sleep time would have longer telomere length.Conclusions Sleep is a relevant factor affecting TL in middle-aged and elderly population.Good sleep may delay aging by slowing TL.We encourage to conduct health education about the importance of sleep quality in community.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the extract of Schisandra chinensis on the matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) system in kidney tissue of the diabetic rats,and to explore its protective effect on the kidney tissue from the matrix degradation perspective.Methods:STZ was used to establish rat models of diabetes mellitus.A total of 45 diabetic rats were randomly divided into model group,extract of Schisandra chinensis group and Benazepril group,and there were 15 rats in each group.Another 15 rats were selected and used as normal control group.12 weeks after administration,the routine blood and urine biochemical indexes,the histological changes,blood glucose (BG),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinine(Scr),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterin(LDL-C),total cholesterol(T-CHO),and triglyceride(TG) levels,excretion rates of albuminuria and proteinuria of the rats in various groups were detected;the expression amounts of fibronectin (FN),type Ⅳ collagen (Col Ⅳ),and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in kidney tissue of the rats were detected by immunohistochemical method;the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) was detected by zymography.Results:Compared with model group,the glomeruli matrix accumulation of the rats in extract of Schisandra chinensis group was significantly improved,the excretion rate of albuminuria,LDL-C level and serum MDA level were decreased(P<0.05),the activities of CAT(P<0.01)and SOD(P<0.05)in kidney tissue were increased,and the level of MDA in kidney tissue was decreased(P<0.05).The immunohistochemistry results showed that compared with model group,the expression amounts of FN,Col Ⅳ,and TIMP-2 in kidney tissue of the rats in extract of Schisandra chinensis group were significantly decreased.The zymography results showed that compared with model group,the activity of MMP-2 in kidney tissue of the rats in extract of Schisandra chinensis group was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Extract of Schisandra chinensis has protective effect on the kidney tissue of the diabetic rats induced by STZ,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress and the improvement of MMP-2 activity as well as the inhibition of TIMP-2 expression which could improve the matrix degradation.
