AIM: To investigate relevant factors of stem cell transplantation for treating diabetic foot. METHODS: Disposal, outcome, adjuvant method and safety during stem cell transplantation for treatment of diabetic foot were analyzed. RESULTS: ①After autologous stem cells were depurated at a low temperature for 24-48 hours, number of malignant stem cells decreased. Compared to simple stem cell transplantation, tissue regeneration and neovascularization increased after adding fibrin base during transplantation. ②Ankle-brachial index and transcutaneous oxygen pressure were obviously elevated, rest pain and intermittent lameness were improved, new collateral circulation appeared, and arterial blood flow increased in patients undergoing bone marrow stem cell transplantation in the treatment of ischemic disease of lower extremity. ③Chinese medicine for supplement- ing qi and activating blood circulation for stem cell transplantation fully played regulatory effects of biological responses. Adjuvant methods such as ultrasound ablation in combination of stem cell transplantation could significantly increase lower collateral circula- tion of broken popliteal artery. ④No significant adverse reaction or severe outcome was detected in autologous stem cell transplan- tation in a short term. CONCLUSION: ①Autologous stem cells after purified by low temperature can effectively purify malignant stem cells in bone marrow stem cell transplantation. Transplanted outcome can be elevated by adding fibrin. ②Adjuvant methods can enhance outcome of stem cell transplantation. ③Stem cell transplantation for treating diabetic foot has obtained satisfactory outcomes, but some problems still exist.

Objective To analyze the cognitive changes and influencing factors in patients with lacunar cerebral infarction after carotid artery intervention therapy. Methods Sixty lacunar cerebral infarction combined with carotid stenosis patients treated with artery intervention therapy (intervention therapy group) and 68 lacunar cerebral infarction without carotid stenosis patients treated with drug therapy (drug therapy group) were selected. The neuropsychological test was completed at entry and 1, 6, 12 months after entry, and the results were compared with 60 healthy controls (control group). The cognitive changes were observed. The neuropsychological test included mini mental state examination (MMSE), Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) and cognitive field test. Results There were statistical differences in other scores except the Stroop test C section and Wechsler adult intelligence scale (WAIS-RC) picture arrangement subtest at entry in intervention therapy group and drug therapy group compared with control group (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the all scores at entry between drug therapy group and intervention therapy group (P>0.05). In intervention therapy group, the MMSE scores, MoCA total score, Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test (ROCFT), auditory verb learning test (AVLT), and the WAIS-RC picture arrangement subtest, verbal fluency test, WAIS-RC digit span backwards subtest of performing function 12 months after entry were significantly better than those at entry, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). MMSE score, MoCA total score, long-time delayed recall of ROCFT, the immediate recall, long-time delayed recall and short delayed recall of AVLT, semantic category fluency test of performing function and digit span backwards subtest of WAIS-RC 6 months after entry were significantly better than those at entry:(27.8 ± 2.2) scores vs. (26.4 ± 1.9) scores, (20.7 ± 2.3) scores vs. (19.3 ± 2.0) scores, (12.4 ± 3.2) scores vs. (10.8 ± 2.6) scores, (54.3 ± 10.6) scores vs. (49.9 ± 10.9) scores, (12.4 ± 2.0) scores vs. (11.2 ± 2.8) scores, (12.9 ± 2.0) scores vs. (10.6 ± 2.6) scores, (17.5 ± 4.0) scores vs. (15.4 ± 3.4) scores and (4.0 ± 0.9) scores vs. (3.5 ± 0.9) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). In drug therapy group, there were no statistical differences in the all scores 1 and 6 months after entry, compared with that at entry (P>0.05);the MMSE score, MoCA total score, ROCFT, the immediate recall, long-time delayed recall and short delayed recall of AVLT, WAIS-RC picture arrangement subtest, verbal fluency test, WAIS-RC digit span backwards subtest of performing function and digit span backwards subtest of WAIS-RC 12 months after entry were significantly better than those at entry, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in all scores 12 months after entry between intervention therapy group and drug therapy group (P>0.05). In patients intervention therapy group, Logistic regression analysis showed that the MoCA score was related with age, hypertension and low education level (P<0.01 or<0.05), but was not related with smoking, diabetes and interventional treatment (P>0.05). Conclusions Cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar cerebral infarction and carotid stenosis is severe and extensive, but most cognition disorders can improve to normal level 12 months after artery intervention therapy.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (HR+/HER2-BC) and the impact of NAFLD on the survival of patients.Methods:54 HR+BC patients were enrolled in this study. The liver fat accumulation was examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patients were divided into two groups: non-NAFLD and NAFLD. Student's t test or Fisher's test was used to analyze the clinical indicators of the two groups. Logistic univariate and multivariate tests were used to analyze the clinical risk factors related to NAFLD. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to further analyze the sensitivity of clinical risk factors to predict the diagnosis of NAFLD. The Disease-free survival (DFS) and Overall survival (OS) of the two groups were analyzed by Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. Results:There were 22 NAFLD patients and 32 non-NAFLD patients diagnosed by MRI. Student's t test or Fisher's test showed that BMI, waist circumference, AST, ALT, GGT, TG, LDL and HDL were statistically different between the two groups (all P<0.05). Logistic univariate and multivariate analysis showed that AST ( OR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.10, P=0.007), GGT ( OR=1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.09, P=0.038), TG ( OR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06, P=0.011) and HDL ( OR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.12, P=0.037) were the risk factors associated with NAFLD. ROC curve analysis showed that the combination of AST, GGT, TG and HDL had high sensitivity in predicting NAFLD (AUC=0.869, P<0.05). There was no difference in DFS ( HR=1.830, 95% CI: 0.983-3.409, P=0.057) or OS ( HR=2.482, 95% CI: 0.761-8.093, P=0.132) between the two groups. Conclusion:AST, GGT, TG and HDL are the independent risk factors for NAFLD in HR+BC patients during treatment, but concurrent NAFLD has no significant effect on DFS or OS.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum miR-122-5p and FOXO3 levels and osteoporosis (OP) in postmenopausal women with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) .Methods:The clinical data and serum of 30 postmenopausal women with NAFLD and 48 postmenopausal women with no-NAFLD were collected. The levels of miR-122-5p and FOXO3 in serum were detected by qRT-PCR. Triglycerides, high-density lipoproteins, and low-density lipoproteins were detected by biochemical autoanalyzer. The bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae 1-4, Wards triangular bone, femoral neck, greater trochanter and total hip was detected by bone mineral density analyzer. The correlation between the above clinical indicators and OP was analyzed.Results:The expression of miR-122-5p in postmenopausal female NAFLD patients (0.76±0.28) was lower than that in non-NAFLD patients (1±0.31) ( t=3.43, P=0.001) . The downstream target gene FOXO3 of miR-122-5p was identified by bioinformatics website analysis. The expression of FOXO3 in postmenopausal female NAFLD patients (1.31±0.30) was higher than that in non-NAFLD patients (1±0.27) ( t=4.73, P<0.001) . Student’ s t test and Logistic regression analysis showed that triglyceride, miR-122-5p and FOXO3 levels were risk factors for NAFLD (all P<0.05) . Pearson correlation coefficient showed that miR-122-5p level was significantly positively correlated with BMD of femoral neck ( r=0.488, P=0.006) , greater trochanter ( r=0.367, P=0.046) and whole hip ( r=0.404, P=0.027) . FOXO3 level was negatively correlated with bone mineral density of femoral neck ( r=-0.445, P=0.014) and whole hip ( r=-0.507, P=0.004) , while other indexes were not significantly correlated (all P>0.05) . Conclusion:Decreased serum miR-122-5p level and increased FOXO3 level in postmenopausal women with NAFLD may increase the risk of OP.
