Objective To investigate the probable risk factors for type 2 diabetic patients complicated nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NFLD)in elderly, through comparing the body composition, serum lipid profile, incidences of abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) between elderly type 2 diabetic patients with and without NFLD. Methods The enrolled elderly type 2 diabetic patients were divided into NFLD group (n=83) and non-NFLD group (n=85). Their clinical data including body composition, serum lipid profile, incidences of abdominal obesity and MS were analyzed retrospectively and compared. Results Compared with non-NFLD group, the BMI [(26.9±2.5) kg/m~2 vs. (24.1±2.5) kg/m~2, P=0.000], waist-hip ratios (WHR) ((0.92±0.07) vs. (0.87±0.06), P=0.000], total body fat percentage [(29.6%±6.6%) vs. (25.3%±5.5%),P=0.000], abdominal fat [(11.0±2.5) kg vs. (8.7±2.3) kg, P=0.000], visceral fat [(3.0±0.7) kg vs. (2.3±0.6)kg, P=0.000], visceral fat area [(97.6±22.2) cm~2 vs. (75.5±21.1) cm~2,P=0. 000], serum triglyceride [(1.98±0.94) mmol/L vs. (1.22±0.61) mmol/L, P=0.000]were all increased, while serum HDL [(1.23±0.32) mmol/L vs. (1.40±0.37) mmol/L, P=0.002]was decreased in NFLD group. The incidences of over-body fat (68.7% vs. 36.5%, P=0. 000),dyslipidemia (47.0% vs. 21.2%, P=0. 000), abdominal obesity (69.9% vs. 43.5%, P=0.001) and MS (49.4% vs. 9.6%, P=0.000) were obviously increased. But there were no statistical differences in serum TC [(4.93±0.94) mmol/L vs. (4. 73±1.07) mmol/L, P=0.219]and LDL [(3.23±0.80) mmol/L vs. (3. 07±0.89) mmol/L, P=0. 229]between the two groups. Logistic regression showed that high BMI (β=1.268, P=0.000, OR=3.56), over-total body fat percentage (β=0.902, P=0.023, OR=2.47)and the existence of MS (β=1. 664, P=0. 000, OR=5.28) were related to elderly type 2 diabetic patients complicated NFLD. Conclusions The high BMI, over-total body fat percentage are related to elderly type 2 diabetic patients complicated NFLD, and NFLD is probably one of components of metabolic syndrome.

Objective To analyze the infiltration abundance of macrophage M2 in breast cancer tissues and explore the correlation between VSIG4 and macrophage M2 and the potential mechanism of regulating the invasion and migration of breast cancer patients. Methods We downloaded the RNA-seq data of TCGA-BRCA and assessed the infiltration abundance of immune cells in the samples by CIBERSORT, and established a prognostic risk prediction model. Then, we analyzed the effect of macrophage M2 and VSIG4 on the prognosis of breast cancer patients. In addition, we analyzed the signaling pathway associated with VSIG4 by gene set enrichment analysis and predicted its upstream regulation of miRNA. Results The infiltration abundance of macrophage M2, age, PR status and pathological stage were involved in the establishment of risk prediction model, and the model had a good prediction performance (AUC=0.816). High infiltration of macrophage M2 (

Objective:To investigate the CT features of lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma (LPA) and other pathological subtypes in early-stage invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma appearing as ground glass nodule (GGN); and to provide imaging-derived information for the clinical management of GGN.Methods:The clinical and CT data of patients with early-stage invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients presented with pure GGNs or mixed GGNs with a consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR)<0.5, with the pathological results confirmed by surgery. GGNs were divided into LPA and non-LPA (n-LPA) groups according to pathological subtypes. Univariate analysis was used to compare the clinical data and CT characteristics between the two groups. The multivariate analysis was performed for the indicators with statistically significant differences and a multivariate model was generated using the reverse elimination method. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the discriminatory power of this model for differentiation of LPA from n-LPA.Results:A total of 630 GGNs from 589 patients were analyzed, with 367 GGNs in LPA group and 263 GGNs in n-LPA group. In univariate analysis, the diameter [(14±5) mm], CT value [(-566±98) HU], and CTR [13.9% (0, 27.3%)] in the LPA group were significantly smaller than those in the n-LPA group [(15±5) mm, (-499±111) HU, 27.8%(7.7%, 40%)], respectively, P<0.05]. The frequency of mGGN, deep lobulation sign, burrs, vascular changes, bronchial changes, and clear tumor-lung interface were significantly higher in the n-LPA group than those in the LPA group ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis results showed that mean CT values, CTR, deep lobulation sign, burr, vascular changes, and bronchial changes were independent predictors for predicting n-LPA ( P<0.05), which were included in the logistic model. Using the optimal cutoff value of 3.958, the logistic regression model for differentiate LPA from n-LPA had a sensitivity of 76.4%, a specificity of 78.7%, and an area under the curve of 0.840. Conclusion:The CT features are helpful for differentiating lepidic predominant subtype from other subtypes in early-stage invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma presenting as a GGN.

Objective :
To investigate the cytotoxicity of slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) on oral keratinocyte monolayers.
Methods:
TR146 human keratinocyte monolayers were exposed to SAEW pretreated with bovine serum albumin(BSA). It was divided into 4 groups, BSA 0 mg/mL (SAEW stock solutsion), BSA 0.5 mg/mL, BSA 1 mg/mL and BSA 2 mg/mL. The relative growth rate (RGR) was measured using a CCK-8 assay at 1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min and 1 h, and the survival rate was measured using a Trypan Blue exclusion assay at 1 h.
Results:
The CCK-8 assay showed significantly different OD values in the SAEW and negative control groups at different times and FAC concentrations (P<0.05). With increasing FAC concentrations and observation times, the RGR in the SAEW group decreased, and the SAEW showed moderate to severe cytotoxic effects. The OD values in the BSA (0.5~2 mg/mL)-pretreated SAEW and negative control groups were not significantly different at different times or FAC concentrations (P > 0.05); the RGRs of the BSA-pretreated SAEW group all approached 100%, and no cytotoxic effects were observed in the BSA-pretreated SAEW group. The Trypan Blue exclusion assay showed significantly different survival rates in the SAEW and negative control groups at different FAC concentrations (P < 0.05). As the FAC concentration increased, the survival rate in the SAEW group decreased, and SAEW showed moderate to severe cytotoxic effects. The survival rates in the BSA-pretreated SAEW and negative control groups were not significantly different at different FAC concentrations (P > 0.05); the survival rates in the BSA-pretreated SAEW group all approached 100%, and no cytotoxic effects were observed.
Conclusion
SAEW showed no adverse effects on the viability of dental oral keratinocyte monolayers in vitro in the presence of BSA at concentrations equivalent to that of protein in saliva.
