1.Metronomic chemotherapy and breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(7):524-527
Angiogenesis plays a very important role in the development and metastasis of breast cancer. Low-dose metronomic chemotherapy based on the traditional chemotherapy drugs has antiangiogenic effect. As far as its mechanism, low toxicity or low incidence of drug resistance is concerned, it is feasible for breast cancer therapy. It displayed the validity and feasibility in the pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, which provided a new treatment strategy for the breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the genomic sequences of Cryptococcus neoformans var grubii strains of two genotypes with different virulence and to screen out the virulence-associated genes. Methods A clinical strain (IFM56800) with the strongest virulence and an environmental strain (IFM56731) with the weakest virulence were screened out for whole genome sequencing analysis. The results of sequencing analy-sis were comprehensively analyzed by using the method of comparative genomics. Genetic variations were ex-tensively screened by using the strategies of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms ( nsSNPs), nonsense SNPs and the insertions or deletions ( InDels) causing frameshift mutations. The filtered genes were sequenced in 20 experimental strains. The whole RNAs were extracted and then the full-length cDNAs were sequenced by using the rapid amplification of 5′ and 3′ cDNA ends (RACE) method. Results By whole genome sequencing, valid data with high coverage (127 times and 111 times) was obtained in both the environmental strain IFM56731 and the clinical strain IFM56800. The data of InDels and SNPs were statisti-cally analyzed, respectively. Six genes were chosen for further analysis based on the strategies of nonsense SNPs and the InDels causing frameshift mutations. The six genes were amplified and sequenced in all of the experimental strains, three of which were further analyzed with cDNA sequencing. Ultimately, the location and structure of CNAG_01032 gene were determined. The predicted nonsense mutation locus was verified to present in the actual mRNA. Conclusion The strategies of nonsense SNPs and the InDels causing frame-shift mutations showed high-efficiency in screening potential virulence-associated genes. The CNAG_01032 gene was screened out as a novel virulence-associated gene.

Objective To investigate the discriminator value of Han Chinese first morning urine albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) for determining the microalbuminuria. Methods A total of 1056 participants (494 males and 562 females) were selected from epidemiologic study of the metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease in Pinggu district, Beijing. Eight-hour overnight urinary albumin excretion (UAE) was regarded as the gold standard for defining the albuminuria,and the ROC curve analysis was used to determine the ACR discriminator value for microalbuminuria. Results (1)Microalbuminuria was found in 12.5% of participants,macroalbuminuria in 1.7%. (2)The ACR discriminator value for microalbuminuria by ROC curve analysis was 1.95 g/mol (sensitivity 97.6% and specitivity 88.6%) for men, 3.62 g/mol(sensitivity 83.8% and specitivity 89.1%) for women, 2.78 g/mol (sensitivity 88.7% and specitivity 85.9%)for overall. The upper boundary of microalbuminuria by ROC curve analysis was 22.59 g/mol (sensitivity 100.0% and specitivity 98.8%) . (3)The inter-rater agreement of the result in this study showed that sensitivity was 91.3% and specitivity was 88.2%, positive likelihood ratio was 7.56 and negative likelihood ratio was 0.10, positive predictive value was 56.9% and negative predictive value was 98.4%. Conclusions The ACR discriminator value for determining microalbuminuria is obviously higher in women than that in men, and is higher than recommendation of international guidelines. The result by ROC curve analysis has better sensitivity and specitivity.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and serum uric acid in general population. Methods The study participants were derived from the epidemiological study on the association of metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Pinggu district, Beijing. A total of 992 participants (463 men and 529 women) aged from 30 to 75 years were enrolled in this study. For each participant, UAE, serum uric acid, serum creatinine, and serum lipids were detected and other potential risk factors for CKD were surveyed. Results ( 1 ) The frequencies of microalbuminuria, macroalbuminuria and hyperuricemia were 12.9% , 1.8% and 4.3% respectively. The persons with hyperuricemia had significantly higher frequency of albuminuria than those without hyperuricemia (37. 2% vs 13. 7% , P <0. 01). (2) The participants were divided according to the quartiles (25% , 50% , 75% ) of serum uric acid level, and the frequencies of albuminuria in males were 13. 2% , 13. 9% , 17. 2% and 25.4% , while those in females were 8. 4% , 6. 2% , 9. 6% and 24. 8%. ( 3 ) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed, hyperuricemia was significantly associated with albuminuria in females (OR =2. 31, 95% CI 1. 15-4. 68; P=0.02), but not in males. If the persons with reduced renal function were excluded, similar result still could be gained. Conclusions The prevalence of albuminuria increases gradually with uric acid elevation. Serum uric acid is an independent risk factor of elevated UAE, especially in females.

Objective :
This article explores the relationship between congenital tooth agenesis and related gene mutations, providing a reference for early diagnosis of the disease.
Methods :
Clinical and radiographic examinations of a rare case of congenital tooth agenesis were conducted to evaluate the abnormal morphology and quantity of the teeth, as well as the overall health of the patient. Bidirectional sequencing of the PAX9 and MSX1 genes and whole-exome sequencing were conducted to identify potential genetic abnormalities. Sanger sequencing of the newly discovered mutation site was performed on the proband's son. Subsequently, the impacts of the mutations were evaluated through computational tools and a cell-based gene transfection assay.
Results :
This is a rare case of tooth agenesis characterized by a congenitally missing first molar, a second molar with one single root and a supernumerary second premolar in the right mandibular dentition. The c.717 C>C/T in PAX9 is synonymous. The c.119C>G in MSX1 is a missense mutation predicted to be “benign” by Polyphen. Through whole-exome sequencing, we found a novel mutation, c.637-7 C>A in intron 3 of the WNT6 gene, which is predicted by MAXENT to influence the splicing of mRNA. Both the proband and his son carry this mutation. A cell-based gene transfection assay demonstrated that it did not alter the mRNA splicing of WNT6.
Conclusion
The interaction between single nucleotide polymorphisms may contribute to congenital tooth agenesis.

【Objective】 To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced inflammatory response in BV2 cells. 【Methods】 BV2 microglia were divided into normal control group, 10%PRP control group, LPS group (LPS induction), 3%PRP+ LPS group (LPS induction, 3%PRP pretreatment), 5%PRP+ LPS group (LPS induction, 5%PRP pretreatment), 10%PRP+ LPS group (LPS induction, 10%PRP pretreatment), and the proliferation of BV2 cells was measured by CCK-8. The mitochondrial membrane potential of BV2 cells was measured by confocal microscopy, ROS was measured by fluorescence method, and NO was measured by Griess method. The protein expressions of IL-6, TNF-α, BACH1, GPX4, NRF2 and HO-1 were detected by Western blot. In addition, BV2 microglia were treated with HO-1 inhibitor and divided into normal control group, LPS group, ZnPP+ LPS group, 10%PRP+ LPS group, ZnPP+ LPS+ 10%PRP group, and the protein expressions of HO-1, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by Western blot. 【Results】 Compared with normal control group, PRP promoted the proliferation of BV2 cells (P<0.01). The mitochondrial membrane potential decreased, ROS production increased, the levels of NO, IL-6, TNF-α and BACH1 increased (P<0.01). However, the expression levels of GPX4, NRF2 and HO-1 decreased (P<0.01) in LPS group. Compared with LPS group, the proliferation activity and mitochondrial membrane potential of BV2 cells in 3%PRP+ LPS, 5%PRP+ LPS and 10%PRP+ LPS groups significantly increased. The levels of ROS, NO, IL-6, TNF-α and BACH1 significantly decreased (P<0.01). The expressions of GPX4, NRF2 and HO-1 in different concentrations of PRP (3%, 5% and 10%) increased (P<0.01). Moreover, the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in ZnPP+ LPS group was significantly higher than that in LPS group after HO-1 inhibitor treatment. Compared with 10%PRP+ LPS+ ZnPP group, HO-1 inhibitor could reverse the effect of PRP on the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in LPS-induced BV2 cells (P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 PRP inhibits the inflammatory response of BV2 microglia induced by LPS by activating the NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
