BACKGROUND:Chemokines can promote (MSCs) the secretion of vasoactive factors from mesenchymal stem cel s (MSCs) through paracrine mechanism, which have important role in accelerating angiogenesis. OBJECTIVE:Under the high glucose environment, to the effect of the supernatant of MSCs stimulated by chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 (CXCL-8) on human umbilical vein endothelial cel s (HUVECs), and to analyze the mechanism of Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway in the stimulation of CXCL-8 on MSCs. METHODS:Under the high glucose environment, the MSCs supplemented with 100μg/L CXCL-8 were set as CXCL-8 group;the MSCs that were preprocessed with 5μmol/L octyl maleimide for 45 minutes and then stimulated with 100μg/L CXCL-8 were as Shh inhibitor group;the MSCs that were routinely cultured in a high-glucose medium were as control group. The cel supernatant of each group was extracted as conditioned medium (CM) to culture HUVECs, respectively, and these cel s were referred to as CXCL-8 CM group, Shh inhibitor CM group, and control CM group, respectively. Cel counting kit-8, cel scratch and Transwel chamber tests were used to observe the effect of each CM on HUVEC proliferation, apoptosis and chemotaxis. By establishment of a diabetic skin ulcer model in C57BL/6J mice, the CM of each group was used to treat the mouse model to confirm the effects of CXCL-8 stimulated MSCs CM on HUVEC homing and ulcer healing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The experimental results in vitro:compared with the control CM group, CXCL-8 CM group significantly promoted the proliferation of HUVECs, and decreased the apoptosis of HUVECs, the closure rate and migration rate of HUVECs were significantly increased (P<0.01 or P<0.01), and the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and epidermal growth factor were significantly increased (P<0.01 or P<0.01). Compared with CXCL-8 CM group, however, the above results in the Shh inhibitor CM group showed reverse changes (P<0.01). (2) The experimental results in vivo:compared with the MSCs CM group and Shh inhibitor CM group, the healing effect of diabetic skin ulcer and the number of HUVECs labeled by green fluorescent protein in the CXCL-8 CM group were significantly increased (P<0.01). To conclude, these findings indicate that CXCL-8 stimulated MSCs secrete paracrine factors, vascular endothelial growth factor and epidermal growth factor, through the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway under the high glucose environment, which enhance the homing ability of HUVECs.

[Abstract ] Objective Liver cirrhosis modeling with carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) may be influenced by many factors, such as drug concentration and dosing methods.In this article, we explored the influences of different concentrations and different dosing methods and time of CCL4 on the induction of liver cirrhosis in rats. Methods We constructed rat models of liver cirrhosis with different con-centrations of CCL4(30%and 50%), using different dosing methods (subcutaneous injection, intraperitoneal injection, and intragastric administration) , and for different lengths of dosing time (8 wk, 10 wk, and 12 wk) .We collected blood and liver tissues from the rats at different time points for HE and MTC staining, biochemical and histomorphological scores based on the Scoring Model for Liver Cirrho-sis Disease (SLCD, expressed by R) and the Laennec Fibrosis Scoring System (LFSS, expressed by L), and analysis of the results by 3 ×2 ×3 factorial experiment design. Results The R value was lower in the intraperitoneal injection than in the subcutaneous injection and intragastric administration groups, and so was it in the 50% than in the 30%CCL4 group, decreasing with the extending of dosing time, with statistically significant differences in the main effects ( P<0.05) as well as a remarkable correlation among drug concentrations, dosing methods, and dosing time (P<0.05).The L value was higher in the intraperitoneal injection than in the subcutaneous injection and intra-gastric administration groups, and so was it in the 50% than in the 30% CCL4 group and in the 12 wk than in the 10 wk and 8 wk groups, with statistically significant differences in the main effects ( P<0.05) but no remarkable correlation among drug concentrations, dosing methods, and dosing time ( P>0.05) .The death rate showed an increasing trend in the intraperitoneal injection, subcutaneous injection and intragastric administration of 30% CCL4 (25.33%, 37.78%, and 38.37%) and 50% CCL4 (42.97%, 47.85%, and 51.88%), higher in the 50%than in the 30%CCL4 .However, no significant differences were found in the survival curves among differ-ent dosing methods or between different drug concentrations (P>0.05). Conclusion Intraperitoneal injection was better than subcu-taneous injection and intragastric administration of CCL4 in inducing liver cirrhosis, and the three dosing methods all showed progressively improved efficiency of modeling with the increase of drug concentration and dosing time.

Objective To analyze the investigation data of the national schistosomiasis surveillance sites in 2015,so as to provide scientific evidences for schistosomiasis control,elimination and surveillance. Methods According to National Schisto-somiasis Surveillance Programme(version 2014),457 surveillance sites were selected,and the investigation data in residents, floating population,domestic animals and Oncomelania hupensis snails were collected and analyzed from four types of endemic counties. Results A total of 4468 seropositive cases were detected from 133350 residents,among which 4457 residents with seropositive results received the etiological tests,and 71 of them were identified with positive results. Most of them were fisher-men and farmers in the middle and old-aged group. The schistosomiasis infection rate was 0.05% in local population. Totally 977 seropositive cases were examined from 85047 migrant individuals,and 16 positive cases were found out from 966 individuals who took etiological tests,which showed the schistosomiasis infection rate was 0.02% in floating population. Imported cases were found among floating people in four provinces,namely Zhejiang,Hunan,Hubei and Anhui provinces. No acute schistoso-miasis cases were reported. A total of 13406 head of cattle received examinations and only 5 were determined as stool positives. The cattle infection rate was 0.04%. The snail survey covered an area of 22295.13 hm2 and snails were found in an area of 7426.63 hm2,including 3.47 hm2 newly detected area with snails. No schistosome-infected snails were found. Conclusions Based on the collected data from 457 national schistosomiasis surveillance sites of China,the Schistosoma japonicum infection rate is 0.05% in local population which maintains a stably descending trend. In floating population,there are imported schistosome-in-fected persons. Cattle are still a vulnerable species infected with schistosome. Although no infected snails are found,snails are widely distributed in endemic areas. Some provinces detect areas with snails for the first time or the reproduction of snails. The staff in endemic provinces should carry out the surveillance work according to National Schistosomiasis Surveillance Programme (version2014)to improve the surveillance system,and enhance the sensibility and effectiveness of surveillance work.

China's prevention and control of parasitic diseases has made remarkable achievements. However,the prevalence and transmission of parasitic diseases is impacted by the complicated natural and social factors of environment ,natural disas-ters,population movements,and so on. Therefore,there are still the risks of the outbreak of emergency parasitic diseases af-fairs,which may affect the control effectiveness of parasitic diseases and endanger the social stability seriously. In this article , we aim at the analysis of typical cases of emergency parasitic disease affairs and their impacts on public health security in China in recently years,and we also elaborate the disposal characteristics of emergency parasitic disease affairs,and propose the estab-lishment of response system to emergency parasitic disease affairs in China,including the organizational structure and response flow path,and in addition,point out that,in the future,we should strengthen the system construction and measures of the re-sponse system to emergency parasitic disease affairs,so as to control the risk and harm of parasitic disease spread as much as possible and to realize the early intervention and proper disposal of emergency parasitic disease affairs.

[Objective]To investigate the efficacy of a blended instruction model which incorporated preceptorship into the clinical anatomy course at Sun Yat-sen University and improve satisfaction and performance of medical students.[Methods]The study recruited participants including 375 Chinese students aged 20-24 years old,2 anatomy professors,49 surgeons and 7 lab technicians. The students were divided into 10 teams and each team was tutored by 1 anatomy professor,2 surgeons and 1 lab technician. After the course ended,the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) and Student Experience in Education Questionnaire (SEEQ) were used in the survey to measure the quality of teaching and students' overall educational experience. Students' performance scores were collected and analyzed.[Results]The response rates for CEQ and SEEQ were 60.3% (226/375) and 54.6% (200/375),respectively. CEQ indicated a moderate level of overall satisfaction with 7.12 out of 10. Subscales like Clear Goals,Good Teaching and Generic Skills showed moderately positive reception of the course,while subscales like Appropriate Workload and Appropriate Assessment revealed students' concerns about heavy workload and difficult exam. There was no statistically significant difference in perceptions between male and female students. The students who are more satisfied with the quality of the course are also more satisfied with the way it is taught (P<0.01). SEEQ further confirmed the universal appeal of the course,with high scores in dimensions like Learning,Enthusiasm and Individual Rapport among the students. Qualitative responses highlighted areas of improvement,such as consistent teaching methods,practical hands-on experience for the students and alignment between what was taught and tested.The students after the preceptorship introduction achieved better academic performance than before.[Conclusions]The blended instruction model incorporating preceptorship enhances the student satisfaction and performance in clinical anatomy course,and also stimulates students' learning enthusiasm and group interaction. We need further improvement in the teaching quality control,syllabus contents and course assessment for teaching of clinical anatomy.

Objective To study the compliance of forbidden depasturing livestock on the marshland with Oncomelania snails in schistosomiasis endemic areas. Methods According to 3 levels of human infection rates as > 10% ,5%-10% and <5% , 2 204 residents selected randomly from the schistosomiasis endemic villages were sampled with the stratified cluster sampling method in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, and investigated by questionnaire. The contents of the questionnaire included the recognition and implementation of forbidden depasturing livestock on marshland with Oncomelania snails and breeding livestock in bam. Results A total of 78.4% residents agreed forbidden depasturing livestock on marshland with snails, but 3. 7% residents disagreed it. A total of 83. 9% residents considered the relationship between breeding livestock in bam and schistosomiasis control, but 3. 1% residents thought that it was no relationship. The main reasons of depasturing livestock on marshland with Oncomelania snails were the high cost of breeding livestock in bam (36. 2% ) , unaccustomed (26.4% ) and no room for breeding livestock in bam (25.4% ). Conclusion Forbidden depasturing livestock on the marshland with Oncomelania snails should be strengthened according to the local economic, nature environment, agriculture, residents'culture degree and agriculture habit.

Objective:To investigate the effect of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2) on ferroptosis and its possible mechanism in glioblastoma cells.Methods:The online database of gene expression profiling interactive analysis 2 (GEPIA 2) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas were used to analyze the expression of SRSF2 in glioblastoma tissue and its association with patients prognosis. To validate the findings of the online databases, the pathological sections of glioblastoma and non-tumor brain tissues from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin, China were collected and analyzed by using immunohistochemistry. Silencing SRSF2 gene expression in glioblastoma cells by siRNA was analyzed with Western blot. The proliferation index was detected by using CCK8 assay. The rescued experiment was conducted by using expression plasmid of pcDNA3.1(+)-SRSF2. The activity of ferroptosis was assessed by using the levels of iron ions and malondialdehyde in glioblastoma cells and the changes in the ratio of glutathione to oxidized glutathione. The changes of gene expression and differential pre-mRNA alternative splicing (PMAS) induced by SRSF2 were monitored by using the third-generation sequencing technology analysis, namely Oxford nanopore technologies (ONT) sequencing analysis.Results:SRSF2 expression was higher in glioblastoma tissues than non-tumor brain tissues. Immunohistochemistry also showed a positive rate of 88.48%±4.60% in glioblastoma tissue which was much higher than the 9.97%±4.57% in non-tumor brain tissue. The expression of SRSF2 was inversely correlated with overall and disease-free disease survivals ( P<0.01). The proliferation index of glioblastoma cells was significantly reduced by silencing with SRSF2 siRNA ( P<0.01) and could be reversed with transfection of exogenous SRSF2. The levels of intracellulariron ions and malondialdehyde increased ( P<0.05), but the glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio and the expression of key proteins in the glutathione pathway remained unchanged ( P>0.05). ONT sequencing results showed that silencing SRSF2 in glioblastoma cells could induce a significant alternative 3' splice site change on ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1). Conclusion:SRSF2 inhibits the ferroptosis in glioblastoma cells and promotes their proliferation, which may be achieved by regulating FSP1 PMAS.

Objective:The clinical characteristics of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma-diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCNSL-DLBCL) and the effects of different treatment schemes on their survival and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively.Methods:A total of 49 patients with PCNSL-DLBCL who presented at the Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from July 2014 to December 2020 were included, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into four groups: the MTX group, the R-CDOP group, the BTKi-R-MTX group, and the RLZT group. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated, and the survival prognosis was compared by univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis.Results:The median OS time of the MTX group, the R-CDOP group, the BTKi-R-MTX group, and the RLZT group was 16.5 months, 4.5 months, 42 months, and not reached, respectively ( P<0.001) . The median PFS time of the MTX group, the R-CDOP group, the BTKi-R-MTX group, and the RLZT group was 7 months, 1.5 months, 20 months, and 5 months, respectively ( P=0.005) . Multivariate prognostic analysis showed that double expressor lymphoma, IESLG risk grade, and different treatment methods were the prognostic factors of PCNSL-DLBCL. Conclusion:The survival and prognosis of PCNSL-DLBCL are affected by different treatment schemes. The role of CD20 monoclonal antibody in the treatment of PCNSL-DLBCL is still controversial. The treatment scheme containing BTKi has great potential for PCNSL-DLBCL. RLZT scheme has a good prospect for elderly patients who cannot tolerate high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 12 patients with difficult choledocholithiasis who underwent ERCP and electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in Department of Gastroenterology, Jilin People’s Hospital, from May to November 2022. The clinical effect of lithotripsy and lithotomy was observed, and postoperative complications and time of surgical operation were assessed. ResultsAmong the 12 patients, 11 (91.67%) were successfully treated by electrohydraulic lithotripsy under direct view, 9 (75.00%) achieved first-attempt success in lithotripsy, and 11 (91.67%) had complete removal of calculi; 1 patient was found to have stenosis of the bile ducts caused by multiple biliary tract surgeries, and grade Ⅱ intrahepatic bile duct stones above the sites of stenosis were removed under direct view, but there were still residues of grade Ⅲ intrahepatic bile duct stones, which led to the fact that complete calculus removal was not achieved. The mean time of ERCP operation was 91.3±26.2 minutes, including a time of 41.8±22.2 minutes for energy lithotripsy. There were 2 cases of postoperative biliary tract infection which were improved after anti-infective therapy, 2 cases of hyperamylasemia which were not given special treatment, and 3 cases of mild pancreatitis which were improved after symptomatic medication, and there were no complications such as bleeding and perforation. ConclusionERCP combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system is safe, effective, and feasible in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis.
