Objective To explore the effects of combined exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and high-fat diet on liver lipid metabolism and hepatocyte senescence in mice, and to elucidate the potential mechanisms of the onset and development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods Specific pathogen free C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups, with 10 mice with equal numbers of each sex in each group. The mice in the control group and the simple BPA group were fed with regular diet, while others four groups of mice were fed with high-fat diet. At the same time, the mice in the simple BPA group were intragastric administered with BPA at a dose of 50 μg/kg body weight, while the mice in the low-, medium- and high-dose BPA+high-fat groups were intragastric administered with BPA at doses of 5, 50 and 500 μg/kg body weight respectively. The mice in the control group and the high-fat group were intragastric administered with the same volume of corn oil once per day for 90 consecutive days. Liver tissues were subjected to hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Oil Red O staining. Liver coefficients and lipid-stained area ratios were calculated. Serum level of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The hepatic tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 levels were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The relative expression of cholesterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1), CCAAT enhancer binding protein α, P16, and phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) in liver tissues was detected using Western blotting. The interaction effect of the combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet was observed based on the result of mice in the control group, the simple high-fat group, the simple BPA group, and the medium-dose BPA group+high-fat group (the combined exposure group) using a 2×2 factorial design. The results of mice in the simple high-fat group and the low-, medium-, and high-dose BPA+high-fat groups were used to observe the effect of BPA exposure dose under high-fat diet conditions. Results i) The interactive effect of combined exposure to BPA and high fat. The HE and Oil Red O staining results indicated that the combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet successfully established NAFLD in mice. The interactive effect of combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet on serum ALT activity and the relative expression of P16 in the liver tissue of female mice, as well as the serum ALT and AST activities and the relative expression of SREBP1 in the liver tissue of male mice was significant (all P<0.05). Specifically, the serum ALT activity of male mice in the combined exposure group was higher than that in the simple high-fat group (P<0.05), while the ALT activity in the serum of female mice in the combined exposure group was lower than that in the simple BPA group (P<0.05). The relative expression of SREBP1 protein in the liver tissue of male mice in the combined exposure group was higher than that in the control group, the simple high-fat group, and the simple BPA group (all P<0.05). For the other indicators, there were no significant differences in the interactive effect of combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet (all P>0.05). ii) Dose effects of BPA exposure. The HE and Oil Red O staining result showed that the degree of vacuolar steatosis in the liver of female and male mice of medium- and high-dose BPA + high-fat groups was aggravated, and the range of inflammatory cell infiltration was expanded when compared with same-sex mice in the simple high-fat group. The serum ALT activity and the fat stained area ratio, as well as the relative expression of P16 in liver tissue of female mice in high-dose BPA + high-fat group increased (all P<0.05), while the level of IL-10 in liver tissue decreased (P<0.05), compared with the female mice in simple high-fat group. The serum ALT activity, the TNF-α level in liver tissue, and the relative expression of SREBP1, P16 and γ-H2AX proteins in liver tissue of male mice in high-dose BPA + high-fat group increased (all P<0.05), while the IL-6 level in liver tissue decreased (P<0.05), compared with the male mice in simple high-fat group. For the female or male mice in the low- and medium-dose BPA + high-fat groups, only some of the above indicators showed significant changes (all P<0.05). Conclusion The combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet has a synergistic effect on the onset and development of NAFLD. The mechanism may be related to inducing cellular senescence and modulation of lipid synthesis pathways, thereby affecting liver steatosis. The exposure dose of BPA may affect the synergistic effect.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Jianpi Yangzheng(JPYZ)formula regulating tumor-associated macrophage(TAM)exosomes on anoikis in gastric cancer and its mechanism.METHODS TAM model was established by inducing human mononuclear THP-1 cells in vitro;M0,TAM and TAM+JPYZ formula exosomes were extracted by ultracentrifugation and co-incuba-ted with gastric cancer cells.Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of exosomes in each group on anoikis in gastric cancer cells.A BALB/c transplanted tumor mouse model was constructed,and the expression level of apoptotic proteins in transplanted tumors was detected by Western blot.Label-free mass spectrometry proteomics and bioinformatics were used to analyze the differential proteins in gastric cancer cells before and after intervention;Western blot and qPCR experiments were used to detect the expression level of dif-ferential protein isocitrate dehydrogenase 1(IDH1),and ubiquitination experiments were used to detect the ubiquitination level of IDH1;kits were used to detect the levels of α-ketoglutarate(α-KG),NADPH/NADP+,glutathione(GSH/GSSG)and reactive oxy-gen species(ROS)content.RESULTS The anoikis rate of gastric cancer cells was reduced after TAM exosomes intervention(P<0.05,P<0.01),while it was significantly increased after TAM+JPYZ exosomes intervention(P<0.05,P<0.01).In the in vivo mouse experiment,the ratio of Cleaved Caspase-3/Caspase-3 in the tumor of the TAM exosome group was reduced(P<0.05),while the ra-tio was significantly increased after TAM+JPYZ exosome intervention(P<0.05).Proteomic analysis showed that IDH1 was significant-ly different after intervention,and was related to tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism.Compared with the M0 group,the IDH1 ubiquiti-nation level of gastric cancer cells in the TAM group with exosome intervention was increased,the levels of α-KG,NADPH/NADP+and GSH/GSSG were significantly increased,and the ROS content was reduced(P<0.05),while TAM+JPYZ exosomes could reverse the above phenomenon.CONCLUSION JPYZ Formula can regulate TAM exosomes to cause ubiquitin degradation of IDH1 in gas-tric cancer cells,reduce the level of tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism in gastric cancer cells,promote ROS accumulation,induce anoikis in gastric cancer,and thus inhibit the development of gastric cancer.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of asthma recurrence in preschool children.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, a total of 160 preschool children with asthma in the pediatric inpatient department of the Third People′s Hospital of Henan Province were included as the research subjects. After standardized treatment, the drug was discontinued and the patients were followed up for 1 year. A total of 6 cases were lost or withdrawn during the follow-up, and finally 154 cases were included and divided into recurrence group (91 cases) and non-recurrence group (63 cases) according to the presence or absence of recurrence. The data of these children were collected and recorded, and logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of asthma recurrence in children, and to explore the corresponding intervention strategies.Results:The results of univariate analysis showed that the differences in guardian′s education level, asthma family history, asthma severity, coexisting allergic rhinitis, coexisting sinusitis, standardized medication course, combined medication, drug withdrawal season, adherence to regular follow-up visits, etc. were statistically significant between the two groups of asthmatic children (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the children′s guardians had low educational level (junior high school and below) ( OR=1.960, 95% CI: 1.714-2.206), family history of asthma ( OR=2.277, 95% CI: 1.850-2.705), coexisting allergic rhinitis ( OR=2.034, 95% CI: 1.520-2.548), severe asthma ( OR=1.866, 95% CI: 1.026-2.707), drug withdrawal in spring or winter ( OR=1.861, 95% CI: 1.704-2.018) were risk factors for asthma recurrence, while standard medication duration >12 months ( OR=0.465, 95% CI: 0.304-0.712), combined medication ( OR=0.458, 95% CI: 0.297-0.705), adherence to regular follow-up visits ( OR=0.559, 95% CI: 0.389-0.803) were protective factors for asthma recurrence in children (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Family history of asthma, coexistence of allergic rhinitis, severity of asthma, adherence to regular follow-up visits, and standardized and combined medication are the main factors affecting asthma recurrence in preschool children, and clinical intervention strategies can be formulated accordingly.

Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) treatment followed by a second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who relapsed following the first HSCT.Methods:Retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 41 patients with B-cell ALL who received a second allo-HSCT from October 2015 to June 2020 in Hebei Yanda Lu Daopei Hospital. After the first HSCT, all patients received CD19-CART, or CD22-CART treatment following a relapse of bone marrow morphology or extramedullary leukemia.Results:A total of 41 patients (male, 21; female, 20) were included in this study. The median age at the second HSCT was 16 (3-46) years. There were 31 cases of bone marrow recurrence (75.6%) , 5 cases of extramedullary recurrence (12.2%) , and 5 cases of bone marrow and extramedullary recurrences (12.2%) . After relapse, 35 patients (85.4%) received CD19-CART treatment, 2 patients received CD22-CART treatment (4.9%) , and 4 patients received CD19-CART and CD22-CART treatments (9.8%) . The expected 3-year overall survival (OS) , leukemia-free survival, cumulative relapse incidence, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) of patients after the second HSCT were 48.9% (95% CI 23.0%-70.6%) , 41.8% (95% CI 17.3%-64.9%) , 8.8% (95% CI 2.9%-26.4%) , and 51.1% (95% CI 31.2%-83.6%) , respectively. The 1-year OS of patients who relapsed ≤6 months and >6 months after the first HSCT were 45.0% (95% CI 12.7%-73.5%) and 75.0% (95% CI 51.4% -88.8%) ( P=0.017) , respectively. Conclusion:CART bridging in the second HSCT enables some B-cell ALL patients who relapsed after the first HSCT to achieve long-term survival. However, because of the high NRM, further modifications could help improve the outcome.

Objective:To study the clinical results and prognostic factors for allo-HSCT of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph +) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in complete remission (CR) in the era of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) . Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics of 116 patients with Ph +ALL who underwent allo-HSCT while in CR. Results:The study population included 72 men and 44 women. The median patient age was 20 years (4-64 years) . The patients received sibling-identical donor ( n=21) , haplo ( n=77) , and unrelated donor ( n=18) HSCT. The overall survival (OS) rate at 5 years was 73.2% (95% CI 63.8% -80.5% ) . In particular, the 5-year OS can reach 87.5% when the time from diagnosis to transplant is <180 days. The 5-years DFS was 61.4% (95% CI 51.8% -69.7% ) , the 5-year molecular and morphology cumulative relapse incidence was 18.5% (95% CI 12.6% -27.3% ) , and the 5-year TRM was 19.9% (95% CI 13.8% -28.7% ) . A multivariate analysis showed that an age range of 15-39 years ( HR=2.730, P=0.044) , time from diagnosis to HSCT ≥ 180 days ( HR=4.534, P=0.010) , and Ⅲ-Ⅳgrade aGVHD ( HR=7.558, P=0.000) were significantly associated with an inferior overall survival. Limited cGVHD subgroup had better OS ( HR=0.300, P=0.034) . Sex, WBC count at diagnosis, type of BCR-ABL fusion genes, somatic gene mutations, CR 1 or >CR 1, MRD negative or positive, conditioning regimen based on TBI or Bu, conditioning intensity, donor source, GVHD prophylactic proposal using cyclosporine or tacrolimus, presence/absence of CMV viremia, and presence/absence of EBV viremia were not significantly different in terms of the OS and DFS. Conclusion:Factors influencing the overall survival of Ph + ALL patients who underwent allo-HSCT in CR in the TKI era include age, time form diagnosis to HSCT, and aGVHD severity.
