ObjectiveTo provide a basis for the establishment of an ideal animal model of allergic asthma by statistically analyzing the modeling characteristics and the selection of indicators of the available models. MethodsWe retrieved the relevant articles from China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), VIP, Wanfang Data, SinoMed, and PubMed with "allergic asthma" as the keyword and the time interval from January 2019 to January 2024. Through integrating the literature and extracting data, we used Excel 2021 to create a personal database and sorted out the animal strains, genders, allergenic substances, modeling routes, and test indicators and methods. Excel 2021, Cytoscape 3.10.2, and SPSS Modeler 18.0 were then used to analyze the relevant characteristics of the animal models. ResultsA total of 418 articles were included in the database, and the comparative analysis showed that the most frequently used animal strain for modeling was BALB/c mice, and female animals were mostly used. The main modeling method was sensitization by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin (OVA), which was combined with intranasal inhalation. The test indicators mainly included appearance signs, cellular analysis, lung histopathology, lung function indicators, and protein and gene expression in the lung. The test methods mainly involved pathological staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, Western blot, and polymerase chain reaction(PCR) assays. ConclusionThere is no recognized modeling method or evaluation standard for the animal models of allergic asthma. Based on the results of data analysis, the OVA-induced allergic asthma model in BALB/c mice is recommended. The main criteria for evaluating the success of modeling are the general behavioral changes, the morphological changes of the airway and inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung tissue, the changes of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the serum, and the alterations of inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

Objective:To investigate the effects of NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3) inflammasome activation on the proliferation, migration and extracellular matrix desposition of activated pancreatic stellate cells(PSCs).Methods:The rat PSCs were isolated, cultured and identified, and were divided into control group or LPS group based on the pretreatment with LPS (10 μg/ml for 24 hours) or without. The expression of NLRP3 inflammasome associated molecules in PSCs culture medium was detected by ELISA. The PSCs with NLRP3 inhibition were constructed by shRNA carrying lentivirus infection and were divided into LPS+ negative control group and LPS+ lentivirus group based on whether the cells were treated with LPS and infected by lentivirus or not. The alteration in cell proliferation and migration were detected by CCK-8 kit and transwell chamber method. The expression of extracellular matrix α-SMA and collagen in PSCs was detected by immunofluorescence staining and the expression of TGF-β mRNA was analyzed by RT-qPCR.Results:The cytoplasm of PSCs which were cultured for 24 hours was rich in bright annular lipid droplets, and the cells expressed desmin. After 7 days of culture, the cell became larger in size, the lipid droplets basically disappeared, and the cells were activated and expressed α-SMA. The expression of caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant of PSCs culture medium in LPS group were significantly higher than those in control group (1.55±0.04 vs 0.65±0.03), (2.02±0.04 vs 1.05±0.05) and (1.70±0.05 vs 0.97±0.03), respectively. After inhibiting by lentivirus infection, the expression of NLRP3 in the lentivirus group (0.25±0.04) was significantly lower than that in negative control group (0.68±0.05). In control group, LPS group, LPS+ negative control group and LPS+ lentivirus group, the A490 values was 0.61±0.02, 1.15±0.06, 0.96±0.05, and 0.56±0.01, respectively; the migrating PSCs number was (64.12±4.58), (121.67±8.02), (111.67±4.67) and (69.67±8.08)/HF, respectively; the relative expression of α-SMA was 0.78±0.05, 4.12±0.04, 3.81±0.06 and 0.88±0.05, respectively; the relative expression of collagen was 0.65±0.03, 3.43±0.02, 2.67±0.02 and 0.48±0.03, respectively; and the expression of TGF-β mRNA was 0.22±0.03, 0.89±0.01, 0.86±0.03 and 0.43±0.02, respectively. The A490 value, the migrating cells number, the expression of α-SMA, collagen and the expression of TGF-β mRNA in LPS group and LPS+ negative control group was significantly higher than those in control group and LPS+ lentivirus group, and all the differences were statistically significant (all P value <0.05). Conclusions:NLRP3 inflammasome activation may accelerate the extracellular matrix deposition and pancreatic fibrogenesis by promoting PSCs proliferation and migration ability via regulating the biological functions.

Objective:To investigate the application value of CT and MRI imageomics based on machine learning method in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 62 patients with surgically resected and pathologically confirmed pancreatic cancer, who underwent enhanced CT scan, MRI plain or enhanced scan in Shanghai General Hospital between January 2014 and December 2021 were collected. According to the chronological order of surgery, 49 patients from January 2014 to December 2020 were enrolled in the training set and 13 patients from January 2021 to December 2021 were enrolled in the validation set. 3D-slicer 4.8.1 software was used to draw the region of interest in each layer of CT and MRI images for cancerous and paracancerous tissue segment. Image features were extracted by Python and the optimal feature set from the training set data was obtained by using Lasso regression model. The machine learning decision tree model was constructed. The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) curve was drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the value of these three kinds of imageomics models in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.Results:The 1 767 CT features and 1 674 MRI features were obtained from enhanced CT scan, MRI plain scan and enhanced MRI scan, respectively. For the differential diagnosis model of cancerous tissue and paracancerous tissue, the enhanced CT scan data model obtained the optimal feature set involving 6 features, the MRI plain scan model obtained the optimal feature set involving 16 features, and the enhanced MRI scan model obtained the optimal feature set involving 15 features. The diagnostic model based on enhanced CT scan had an AUC of 0.98 in the training set and 1 in the verification group. The AUC of the MRI plain scan and enhanced MRI scan models in both the training set and the validation set was 1. The specificity and sensitivity of machine learning decision tree model based on the three kinds of imageomics models in the diagnosis of cancerous tissue and paracancerous tissue were 100%. For the differential diagnosis model of splenic artery wrapping, the enhanced CT scan model didn′t obtain the optimal features and had no diagnostic efficacy. The MRI plain scan model and enhanced MRI scan model obtained the optimal feature set involving 5 and 4 features, respectively. The AUC of the MRI plain scan model in the training set and the validation set were 0.862 and 0.750, respectively, with diagnostic sensitivity of 93.8% and 50.0%, and specificity of 78.6% and 100%, respectively. The AUC of the enhanced MRI scan model in the training set and the validation set were 0.950 and 0.861, respectively, with diagnostic sensitivity of 90.0% and 93.6%, and specificity of 100% and 78.6%, respectively.Conclusions:Based on the radiomics of CT enhanced, MRI plain scan and enhanced MRI scan, the machine learning diagnostic model has an accuracy of more than 90% in differentiating pancreatic cancer from paracancerous tissue. For the differentiation of splenic artery wrapping in pancreatic cancer, the diagnostic model based on enhanced MRI scan haS the best diagnostic efficiency.

Objective:To evaluate neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and the model for end-stage liver disease-sodium(MELD-Na)score in predicting short-term prognosis of patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure(HBV-ACLF).Methods:A total of 234 consecutive HBV-ACLF patients(194 males and 40 females, aged 23-85 years)admitted to Hangzhou Xixi Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were enrolled. According to the 12-week clinical outcomes, patients were divided into good prognosis group( n=141)and poor prognosis group( n=93). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were performed to identify independent risk factors for poor prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. Receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve was applied to evaluate the accuracy of risk factors in predicting short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. Results:The age [(48.7±11.9) vs. (52.5±9.9) years old, t=-2.59, P=0.011], proportion of males [78.0%(110/141) vs. 90.3%(84/93), χ2=5.99, P=0.014], total bilirubin[202.9(141.2, 287.6) vs. 320.0(224.4, 400.0) μmol/L, Z=-5.14, P<0.001], creatinine [71.0(59.0, 78.0) vs. 81.0(64.0, 111.0)μmol/L, Z=-3.98, P<0.001], international normalized ratio[1.66(1.52, 1.86) vs. 1.91(1.66, 2.27), Z=-5.46, P<0.001], leukocyte count[5.16(3.99, 6.95)×10 9/L vs. 6.57(4.83, 8.30)×10 9/L, Z=-4.14, P=0.001], NLR[2.77(2.02, 3.55) vs. 5.48(3.44, 8.53), Z=-8.48, P<0.001], MELD score[22.0(20.0, 24.0) vs. 26.0(24.0, 29.0), Z=-9.22, P<0.001], MELD-Na score[22.8(20.0, 25.6) vs. 29.0(25.0, 36.0), Z=-9.16, P<0.001], liver cirrhosis[77.3%(109/141) vs. 88.2%(82/93), χ2=4.41, P=0.036], hepatorenal syndrome[4/141(2.8%) vs. 12/93(12.9%), χ2=8.91, P=0.003] and the proportion of artificial liver treatment[21/141(14.9%) vs. 24/93(25.8%), χ2=4.30, P=0.038] were significantly elevated in poor prognosis group compared with survival group. Logistic regression analysis showed that NLR( OR=3.76, 95 %CI: 2.10-6.74, P<0.001)and MELD-Na score( OR=2.24, 95 %CI: 1.17-4.29, P=0.015) were independent risk factors for poor short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of NLR, and MELD-Na for the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients was 0.792 and 0.822, respectively. The AUC of the combination of NLR with MELD-Na was 0.858, which was significantly higher than that of NLR( Z=-3.04, P=0.001) or MELD-Na score( Z=-2.16, P=0.031)alone. Based on the cut-off value of the combined model, patients were classified into high combined model score (≥0.04) group and low combined model score (<0.04) group, the survival rate of the high group was significantly higher than that of the low group( χ2=67.47, P<0.001). Conclusions:NLR and MELD-Na score are independent risk factors of the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. The combination of NLR and MELD-Na score will be beneficial to predict the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of circular RNA FBXO11 (circFBXO11) regulating the miR-376a-3p/SNRPB (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptides B gene) axis on the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer SNU-1 cells. Methods: Cancer and para-cancerous tissue samples from 30 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgical resection were surgically resected in the Department of Oncosurgery, the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from January 2018 to January 2019 were collected. The positive expression rate of SNRPB protein in gastric cancer tissues was detected by Immunohistochemical staining. The expression levels of circFBXO11, miR-376a-3p and SNRPB mRNA in gastric cancer tissues, gastric cancer cell lines (SNU-1, AGS and HS-746T) and gastric mucosal cell line GES1 were detected by qPCR. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the relationship between circFBXO11 and miR-376a-3p as well as between miR-376a-3p and SNRPB. The si-NC, si-circFBXO11, miR-NC, miR-376a-3p, si-SNRPB, si-circFBXO11+anti-miR-NC, si-circFBXO11+anti-miR-376a-3p, si-circFBXO11+pcDNA-NC, si-circFBXO11+pcDNA-SNRPB were transfected into gastric cancer SNU-1 cells, respectively. CCK-8 assay, Flow cytometry and WB assay were used to detect cell proliferation activity, apoptosis rate and protein expressions of SNRPB, cyclin D1 and C-caspase-3, respectively. Results: Compared with para-cancerous tissues, the expression level of circFBXO11 and the positive rate of SNRPB protein in gastric cancer tissues were significantly increased (all P<0.01), while the expression of miR-376a-3p was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with GES1 cells, the expressions of circFBXO11 and SNRPB were significantly increased, while the expression of miR-376a-3p was significantly decreased (all P<0.01) in gastric cancer cells. circFBXO11 negatively regulated miR-376a-3p expression, and miR-376a-3p negatively regulated SNRPB expression. After inhibiting the expression of circFBXO11 or over-expressing miR-376a-3p or suppressing the expression of SNRPB, the proliferation viability of SNU-1 cells was decreased, and the apoptosis rate was increased (P<0.01). Either inhibiting miR-376a-3p or over-expressing SNRPB could partially reverse the effect of circFBXO11 suppression on proliferation and apoptosis of SNU-1 cells (all P<0.01). Conclusion: circFBXO11 is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues. Inhibiting circFBXO11 inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, and the mechanism is related to the regulation of miR-376A-3p/SNRPB pathway.
