The cGAS-STING pathway plays a significant role in host defense against viral and bacterial infection.In the process,the cytoplasmic free DNA,considered as a danger signal,is recognized by nucleotidyl transferase cGAS.cGAS is activated by double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and catalyzes the synthesis of a noncanonical cyclic dinucleotide 2'5'-cGAMP from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP).cGAMP serve as an endogenous second messenger to stimulate the induction of type Ⅰ interferons via STING.In addition to the exogenous bacterial or viral DNA,abnormal deposition of host DNA in cytosol also activates the cGAS-STING signaling pathway cascade,resulting in inflammation and autoimmune diseases.Subsequent studies found that this pathway also plays an important role in tumor's responsiveness to radio-therapy and chemo-therapy.Activation of cGAS-STING pathway produces or enhances the therapeutic efficacy.These findings suggest that specifically interfering with cGAS-STING activation may hold therapeutic value for the treatment of cancer,infection and inflammatory diseases.In this paper,the activation mechanism of cGAS-STING pathway and its relationship with the treatment of diseases were summarized,and the regulation of cGAS-STING pathway was introduced in detail.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the preterm infants after premature rupture of the membranes(PROM)brain injury and some cellular factors in the umbilical cord blood and amniotic fluid,and ana-lyze the biological markers with great predictive value,and provide a theoretical basis for early monitoring of brain injury in premature infants. Methods One hundred and thirty - nine singleton infants with PROM,their gestation less than 34 weeks,were evaluated. The umbilical cord blood and amniotic fluid of cytokines,including interleukin - 1β(IL - 1β),IL - 4,IL - 6,IL - 8,IL - 10,IL - 17A,tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF - α),granulocyte colony - stimu-lating factor(G - CSF),monocyte chemotactic protein - 1(MCP - 1),S100B protein and soluble intercellular adhe-sion molecule - 1(sICAM - 1)levels were measured with Luminex liquid chip. All the premature infants underwent brain imaging for the diagnosis of brain damage. All cases were divided into brain injury group and non - brain injury group based on brain imaging examination. Results The concentration of IL - 10 in cord blood was significantly lower in the brain injury group than that in the non - brain injury group,and the difference was statistically significant(P ﹤0. 05). The levels of IL - 1β,IL - 6,IL - 8,TNF - α,G - CSF,MCP - 1,S100B and sICAM - 1 in the brain injury group were significantly higher than those of non - brain injury group,and the differences were statistically significant (all P ﹤ 0. 05). The levels of IL - 1β,IL - 6,IL - 8,TNF - α,G - CSF,MCP - 1 and sICAM - 1 in the amniotic fluid were significantly higher than those of non - brain injury group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P ﹤ 0. 05),but amniotic fluid S100B protein level was similar between 2 groups,which had no statistical significance (P ﹥ 0. 05). To predict the value of brain damage in premature infants,the highest sensitivity in cord blood was S100B protein,the highest specificity was IL - 6. The highest sensitivity in amniotic fluid was IL - 1β,and the highest specificity was IL - 8. The levels of IL - 4 and IL - 17A in the umbilical cord blood and amniotic fluid,IL - 10 in amniotic fluid were very low,and had no predictive value for brain damage. Conclusions Many biological markers in umbilical cord blood and amniotic fluid provide information about the risk of brain injury in premature infants. The highest sensitivity in cord blood was S100B protein,the highest specificity was IL - 6. The highest sensitivity in amniotic fluid was IL - 1β,the highest specificity was IL - 8. Changes in inflammation - related biomarkers suggest that brain damage in the preterm infants might be associated with intrauterine inflammation.

BACKGROUND:Fracture healing in diabetic patients is usual y unsatisfactory because of hormones and metabolic disorder, and an eventual multiple organ dysfunction resulting from high blood glucose. OBJECTIVE:To dynamical y observe the changes of cytokines during the fracture healing process in diabetic rats before and after insulin treatment. METHODS:A total of 120 Sprague-Dawley rats were included in this study. Of them, 90 rats intravenously injected with 5%tetraoxypyrimidine to induce rat models of diabetes were randomized into insulin treatment and diabetes groups, respectively. The remaining 30 rats were intravenously injected with equal volume of saline and selected as control group. The next day, blood glucose was determined. Healing at 1, 4, and 8 weeks after fracture were observed by the X-ray film. Biomechanical strength of the injured right tibia was measured at 4, 6, and 8 weeks after modeling. Cytokines in the osteotylus were determined by immunohistochemical staining and in situ hybridization technique. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The X-ray films showed that the speed of fracture healing in the diabetes group was slower than insulin treatment and control groups. Biomechanical strength of the osteotylus in the diabetes group was significantly decreased compared with the insulin treatment and control groups. However, there were no significant differences in above-mentioned parameters between the control and insulin treatment groups. Bone morphogenetic protein 2, basic fibroblast growth factor, transforming growth factor-beta, and vascular endothelial growth factor were widely expressed in the osteotylus and their expressions in diabetes group were significantly lower and slower than those in the control and insulin treatment groups. There was no statistical difference between control and insulin treatment groups. These results indicate that osteotylus formation speed, biomechanical strength, and growth factor expressions at the fracture site in diabetes rats were decreased compared with normal rats. Insulin treatment can enhance cytokine levels at the fracture site, thereby promoting the osteoblast proliferation and fracture healing.

Objective To evaluate the effect of various herniorraphy in treating inguinal hernia. Methods The clinical data of 108 patients who underwent conventional Bassini herniorraphy (BH), tension free herniorraphy (TH), or laparoscopic herniorraphy (LH),respectively were analysed and comparated. Results The operation time in TH was less than that in BH, and in LH was longer than that in TH. The ability recovery, hospita stay and postoperative complication in TH and LH were less than those in BH.All the patients were followed up for at least 1 year.Of them, 1 recurred after BH, but there was no recurrence after TH and LH. The blood neutrophils, serum level of fibrin, C-reactive protein and alpha-1 antitrypsin increased significantly in the patients undergoing herniorraphy, which were significantly higher in the patients underwent TH and LH. Conclusions The curative effect of TH and LH is much better than that of BH in treating ingumal hernia. Application of marlex for herniorraphy might increase inflammation response, but it will not increase the incidence of infection.
