Objective To investigate the action of chondrogenesis differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) transfected with adeno-hTGF-β1. Methods In the experiment group, replication-deficient a denoviruses carrying human hTGF-β1 complementary DNA (adeno-hTGF-β1 was constructed and applied to transfect to the first generation BMSCs. As a control, each BMSCs was transduced with 200 pfu of adeno-LacZ gene. One day after transfer, BMSCs were trypsinized, counted, and 5×105 cells aliuots were spun down at 500 rpm per minute in 15 ml polypropylene conical tubes and then cultured in a defined medium in an incubator at 37℃ for 21 days. The aggregates were harvested at time points to 21 days and assessed by gross observation, histological analyses and immunohistochemical localization of type Ⅱ collagen. Results When harvested at 21 days, each pellet shrinked to spheroid tissue with apearly opalescence in gross morphology and found to be relatively firm. H.E staining showed elongate dlining cells appeared as perichon drium-like cells at the surface. Some nests of cartilage were observed at the substrate of the tissue. Mature chon drocytes were embeded in the lacuna in the experiment group. In addition, Safranin'O staining confirmed the presence of sulfated proteoglycans in the ECM of chondrogenesis region. Immunohistochemical staining revealed the presence of type Ⅱ collagen in chondrogenesis region. By contrast, HE staining showed no evidence of cartilage formation in the control group. They were fibrous tissue with no architectural feature. Safranin'O staining and Immunohistochemical staining showed no evidence of sulfated proteoglycans or typeⅡ collagen expression. Conclusion BMSCs transfected with adeno-hTGF-β1 could induce its chondro-genesis when aggregate cultured in a defined medium in vitro, laying a foundation for the application of hTGFβ1 gene-transfected BMSCs in cartilage tissue engineering.

In order to investigate the effects of phenylalanine, tyrosine and tyramine on the growth of Lycoris radiata suspension cells and the accumulation of alkaloids, the growth quantity of the cells as well as the content of alkaloids in cells were determined, which were treated with above three kinds of precursors alone and phenylalanine combined with tyrosine respectively. The results indicate that the addition of phenylalanine alone and addition of phenylalanine on the basis of tyrosine at high concentration (200 micromol/L) had no significant effect on the growth of Lycoris radiata suspension cells and the content of alkaloids in cells; whereas tyrosine and tyramine promoted the growth of the cells and alkaloids accumulation. Treated with tyrosine at high concentration (200 micromol/L), the content of alkaloids of the cells was 2.56-fold higher than that of the control group, the amounts of lycoramine (3.77 mg/g) and galanthamine (4.46 mg/g) were 6.61-fold and 6.97-fold higher than that of the control group, respectively. When treated with tyramine (200 micromol/L), the amount of alkaloids in Lycoris radiata suspension cells was 2.63-fold higher than that of the control group, and the amounts of lycoramine (4.45 mg/g) and galanthamine (5.14 mg/g) were 9.08-fold and 9.18-fold higher than that of the control group, respectively. The above results demonstrate that adding tyrosine and tyramine in the media significantly promoted the growth of the Lycoris radiata suspension cells and alkaloids accumulation in the cells.

Objective:To explore the value of stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) in predicting the prognosis of patients with acute heart failure (AHF).Methods:AHF patients admitted to the Emergency Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital from December 2016 to January 2019 were retrospectively included. Clinical data were recorded and SHR was calculated. According to the survival of the patients within 1 year, they were divided into the death group ( n=89) and the survival group ( n=218). Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between SHR and the prognosis of AHF patients. Results:A total of 307 patients aged 83 ( range 74-87) years old who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study, including 153 males and 104 females. The age, SHR and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the death group were higher than those in the survival group [84 (78, 88) vs 82 (72, 86), 1.11 (0.91, 1.51) vs 1.02 (0.86, 1.27), 5 351 (2 098, 14 039)μg/L vs 4 243 (2 294, 7 565)μg/L ]. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the death group was significantly lower than that of the survival group [53 (45, 57) % vs 58 (44, 64) %, P< 0.05]. Logistic regression analysis showed that SHR was an independent risk factor for death in AHF patients ( OR=2.397, 95% CI: 1.285-4.471, P< 0.05). Median SHR was used to draw the survival curve. Patients with high SHR had a lower cumulative survival rate, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SHR can identify critically ill patients and is an independent risk factor for death in AHF patients.

Objective:To investigate the application value of ultrasound-guided multimodal examinations in the diagnosis of lymph node mycobacterial infection.Methods:The clinical data of 42 patients with suspected lymph node mycobacterial infection who were initially diagnosed at the Affiliated Hospital of Shaoxing University from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent an ultrasound-guided lymph node-negative pressure puncture. Acid-fast staining, bacterial culture, pathological examination or their combination were used to screen lymph nodes for mycobacterial infection. The results were compared with those of acid-fast staining and bacterial culture of sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid smears.Results:The combined application of acid fast staining, bacterial culture, and pathological examination for the puncture fluid smear showed a positive rate of 71.4% (30/42), which was significantly higher than the positive rate [26.2% (11/42)] for acid fast staining of the puncture fluid smear, the positive rate [42.9% (18/42)] for bacterial culture of the puncture fluid, and the positive rate [50.0% (21/42)] of pathological examination ( χ2 = 17.20, 7.00, 4.04, P < 0.001, P < 0.01, P = 0.040). The positive rate for sputum smear and bacterial culture was 21.4% (9/33). The positive rate for acid fast staining and bacterial culture of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was 28.6% (12/30). The differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 21.11, 15.43, both P < 0.001). Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided negative pressure aspiration and puncture biopsy of lymph nodes combined with acid fast staining, bacterial culture, and pathological examinations can markedly increase the detection rate and diagnostic rate of mycobacterial infection.

Objective: To explore the correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25[OH]D₃) levels and esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB) in cirrhotic patients. Methods: Eighty-three cases with liver cirrhosis hospitalized from November 2016 to January 2017 were collected. The patients were divided into bleeding group (51 cases) and non-bleeding group (32 cases) depending on the presence or absence of bleeding under gastroscopy. Serological tests were performed on both groups, including hemoglobin (Hb), albumin (ALB), alkaline phosphatase (ALP),γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25[OH]D₃). Both groups were analyzed by univariate analysis. The differences between both groups were compared by t-test, after normality test. The other variables were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. The correlation between the relevant variables and EVB were analyzed by Spearman's rank correlation and a multivariate analysis. Cases with primary biliary cirrhosis were relatively low in number (four cases in bleeding group, accounting for 8%, 10 cases in non-bleeding group, accounting for 31%). The effects of ALP and GGT on serum 25(OH)D₃ level were analyzed by stratified analysis. Moreover, ALP and GGT levels were divided into two and three groups: < 140 U/L and >140 U/L and < 30 U/L, > 30 U/L, and ~≤60 U/L. Results: Bleeding group had low levels of hemoglobin (t= -2.827,P= 0.005), alkaline phosphatase (t= -3.097,P= 0.002), gamma-glutamyltransferase (t= -2.292,P= 0.022), and 25(OH)D₃ (t= -3.134,P= 0.002) than non-bleeding group. Both groups (P> 0.05) had similar levels of albumin, interleukin-6, AAR, and FIB-4. Logistic regression analysis showed that 25(OH)D₃, alkaline phosphatase and hemoglobin were independent risk factors for EVB. Spearman’s correlation coefficient analysis showed that 25(OH)D₃was significantly positively and negatively correlated with interleukin-6 (r= 0.306,P= 0.005) and albumin (r= -0.327,P= 0.003). Stratified analysis showed that serum 25(OH)D₃ level was lower in ALP≤140U/L group and the bleeding group, and the difference was statistically significant than non-bleeding group (P= 0.007), while the serum level of 25(OH)D₃was decreased in both groups for alkaline phosphatase > 140 U/L group, and the difference was not statistically significant (P= 0.051). Furthermore, in the GGT > 60 U/L group, the serum level of 25(OH)D₃was significantly lower in the bleeding group, and the difference was statistically significant in non-bleeding group (P= 0.003), while the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P> 0.05) in GGT≤30 U/ L, > 30 U/L, and ~≤60 U/L group. Conclusion Serum 25(OH)D₃level was significantly lower in EVB cirrhotic patients, and it was an independent risk factor for EVB. Serum 25(OH)D₃ low levels was more apparent with ALP normalization or GGT level > 60 U/L.
