The relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and Zn, Cu, Ca levels in the meal and hair of urban and rural elderly people were studied. 470 subjects above 60 years old (urban 205 and rural 265), 178 males with an average age of 65.70 +/- 3.48 and 292 females with an average age of 65.90 +/- 4.02, were inquired. The BMD and Zn, Cu, Ca levels in the meal and hair were measured. The detected BMD in urban and rural female old people was significantly lower than that of the males; The contents of Ca and Zn in the meal of the urban females were significantly lower than those of the urban males; The Ca, Zn in the meal and Zn in the hair of the rural females were significantly lower than those of rural males (P < 0.05 or 0.01). The BMD, Ca intakes, Ca and Zn in the hair of the rural old people were significantly lower than those of the urban old people (P < 0.05 or 0.01). There was a correlation between BMD with the Ca, Zn of the hair and dietary Ca, Zn, Cu or between dietary Zn with Ca, Zn in the hair and Ca, Cu intakes. The Zn, Cu and Ca levels in the meal nutrients were correlated with BMD to some degrees. Lack of Ca and Zn in the meal can cause the reduction of BMD.

BACKGROUND: Cristata L flavonoid is a kind of plant estrin, which possesses multiple physiological function, has no toxicity and adverse effect, and is effective in treating and preventing osteoporosis.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of cristata L flavonoid on bone morphogenetic protein, urine inorganic salt and content of lysozyme of rats with diabetes mellitus (DM).DESIGN: Randomized grouping design and controlled study.SETTING: Pharmaceutical Laboratory of Xinxiang Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Xinxiang Medical College from September to December 2003. Totally 24 health male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control group, diabetes mellitus (DM) group, DM + cristata L flavonoid group with 8 in each group.were injected intraperineally with 60 mg/kg streptozotocin, and 48-72 hours later, blood of rear caudal vein was collected to measure total blood glucose.Rats were determined as DM if the blood glucose was ≥ 16.7 mmol/L; oth erwise, 60 mg/kg streptozotocin was injected once more. After modeling,cristata L flavonoid and rats in normal control group were given the same was measured with atomic absorbency method and content of urine sodium histochemistry of bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP2) in bone was detected with streptavidin tagged by peroxidase and immunohistochemic expression lysozyme reflected reabsorption function of renal tubule was measured with with t-test. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison between content of calcium, sodium, kalium in urine and lysozyme and immunohistochemic expression of BMP2 10-week intervention later.calcium and sodium in urine in DM model group were obviously higher than those in normal control group, but content of kalium in urine was obviously lower (P ＜ 0.05-0.01). Contents of calcium in urine in DM +cristata L flavonoid group were obvioualy lower than those in DM model group and normal control group were obviously higher than those in DM model group, and content of lysozyme in urine in those groups was obviously lower than that in DM model group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01).CONCLUSION: Expression of BMP2 of DM rats is decreased, but after supplement of cristata L flavonoid compound, the expression is increased.In addition, output of urine calcium and sodium in DM rats is decreased,and reabsorption function of renal tubule is increased.

Objective To measure middle cerebral artery (MCA) hemodynamic parameters of chronic cerebral ischemia in middle aged and elderly people with phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PCMRI),and to explore cerebral blood flow dynamic pattern in different degrees of chronic cerebral ischemia patients.Methods Middle aged and elderly people underwent conventional MRI scan,and were divided into 12 cases of the normal group,16 cases of mild cerebral ischemia group and 13 cases of obvious cerebral ischemia group.All groups underwent bilateral MCA PCMRI.Bilateral MCA hemodynamic parameters and phase-velocity curve in a heartbeat cycle were obtained by QFLOW analysis software on the workstation for post-processing.Bilateral MCA vascular area,peak velocity (PV),mean velocity (MV) and mean flow (MF) were recorded.The differences of bilateral MCA hemodynamic parameters among the three groups were compared by SPSS17.0 software.Results Bilateral MCA vascular area,MV,MF and right MCA PV among three groups were statistically significant by one-Way ANOVA (P＜0.05).Compared with normal group,systolic peak of bilateral MCA phase-velocity curve was low,dull,widen,and the connection between the diastolic peak and systolic peak became flattened in chronic cerebral ischemia patients.Conclusion PCMRI can reflect the differences of the cerebral blood flow dynamic change pattern between different degrees of chronic cerebral ischemia.

The relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and Zn, Cu, Ca levels in the meal and hair of urban and rural elderly people were studied. 470 subjects above 60 years old (urban 205 and rural 265), 178 males with an average age of 65.70±3.48 and 292 females with an average age of 65.90±4.02, were inquired. The BMD and Zn, Cu, Ca levels in the meal and hair were measured. The detected BMD in urban and rural female old people was significantly lower than that of the males; The contents of Ca and Zn in the meal of the urban females were significantly lower than those of the urban males; The Ca, Zn in the meal and Zn in the hair of the rural females were significantly lower than those of rural males (P＜ 0.05 or 0.01). The BMD, Ca intakes, Ca and Zn in the hair of the rural old people were significantly lower than those of the urban old people (P＜0.05 or 0.01). There was a correlation between BMD with the Ca, Zn of the hair and dietary Ca,Zn, Cu or between dietary Zn with Ca, Zn in the hair and Ca, Cu intakes. The Zn, Cu and Ca levels in the meal nutrients were correlated with BMD to some degrees. Lack of Ca and Zn in the meal can cause the reduction of BMD.

Objective·To elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of the chromobox protein homolog 8(CBX8)in prostate cancer metastasis from transcriptome and epigenetic modification perspectives.Methods·The correlation between the expression of CBX proteins and prostate adenocarcinoma(PRAD)in The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)was examined through an analysis based on cBioPortal database.A stable CBX8 knockdown DU 145 prostate cancer cell line was established via short hairpin RNA(shRNA)transfection.Subsequently,the proliferation and invasion of the CBX8 knockdown cells were analyzed by CCK-8 assay and Transwell assay,respectively.Transcriptome changes of the CBX8 knockdown cells were investigated through RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)coupled with Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA).To further evaluate the functional implications of these transcriptomic alterations,Gene Ontology(GO)for functional analysis was deployed.Moreover,to identify potentially affected signalling pathways,the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)was utilized for pathway enrichment analysis.Lastly,the levels of H3K27me3,a key histone modification associated with CBX8,in the knockdown cells were determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing(ChIP-seq).Results·Bioinformatic analysis with cBioPortal database,based on TCGA-PRAD cohorts,unveiled a high CBX8 mRNA expression in PRAD.Knockdown of CBX8 did not significantly affect the proliferation of DU 145 cells(P＞0.05),but caused a a significant increase in their invasiveness(P＜0.05).The RNA-seq analysis revealed that CBX8 knockdown led to the upregulation of 750 genes and the downregulation of 951 genes.Notably,branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase 1(BCAT1),a gene implicated in the metastasis of various types of cancers,showed a significant increase in expression following CBX8 knockdown.GSEA showed that the expression levels were of the affected genes were related to the functions of the polycomb repressive complex 1(PRC1).A further investigation using GO and KEGG analyses identified several enriched pathways in the CBX8 knockdown cells,including transfer RNA(tRNA)aminoacylation,DNA replication,changes in aminoacyl-tRNA ligase activity,and cadherin binding.Interestingly,in terms of cell component of GO functional analysis,cell-substrate junction-related genes associated with tumor metastasis appeared to be enriched.ChIP-seq results showed a global decrease in H3K27me3 levels.Significantly,97 reduced H3K27me3 peaks were found located nearby genes that were upregulated upon CBX8 knockdown,including the transcriptional start site of BCAT1.Conclusion·CBX8 is highly expressed in prostate cancer.CBX8 suppresses prostate cancer cell invasion,possibly by recruiting the transcriptional repressive PRC1 complex to the transcription site of BCAT1,thereby inhibiting BCAT1 transcription and tumor metastasis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of ozone preconditioning on splenic natural killer (NK) cells in septic mice.Methods:Twenty-four SPF-grade male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) according to the random number table method: control group (group C), lipopolysaccharide (LPS)group, ozone+ LPS group (O 3+ LPS) and air+ LPS group (Air+ LPS). The sepsis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS 10 mg/kg. Ozone preconditioning was started at 5 days before developing the model: ozone 1 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once a day for 5 consecutive days, the equal volume of air was injected in Air+ LPS group. The survival was observed within 72 h after LPS injection, and sepsis score and ear temperature (once every 2 h, an average was calculated) were recorded. The posterior orbital venous blood samples were taken at 6 and 24 h after LPS injection for determination of serum interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) concentrations using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The spleen was then taken, and a single cell suspension of the spleen was prepared for measurement of the percentage of NK cells in the spleen by flow cytometry. Results:Compared with C group, the ear temperature, sepsis score and 72-h survival rate were significantly decreased, serum IFN-γ and IL-10 concentrations were increased at each time point after LPS injection, and the percentage of splenic NK cells was increased at 6 h after LPS injection and decreased at 24 h after LPS injection in LPS, Air+ LPS and O 3+ LPS groups ( P<0.05). Compared with LPS group, the ear temperature, sepsis score and 72-h survival rate were significantly increased, serum IFN-γ concentrations were decreased at each time point after LPS injection, serum IL-10 concentrations were increased at each time point after LPS injection, and the percentage of splenic NK cells was decreased at 6 h after LPS injection and increased at 24 h after LPS injection in O 3+ LPS group ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in Air+ LPS group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which ozone preconditioning reduces sepsis may be related to reduction of inflammatory responses and regulation of splenic NK cell levels in septic mice.

Objective:To investigate the pain status in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A single-center cross-sectional survey research method was used. From May 2021 to February 2022, DFU patients who were admitted to the Fourth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital and met the inclusion criteria were selected and investigated. The scores of the heaviest pain, the least pain, the average pain, and the current pain in pain degree and the total score and the scores of influence on patients' daily life, mood, walking ability, daily work, relationship with others, sleep, and life interest in pain-related effects and the total score of patients were evaluated by the brief pain inventory. A self-designed general data questionnaire was used to collect the data including patients' gender, age, education level, body mass index, self-care ability, diabetes course, wound Wagner grade, bacterial culture result of wound specimen, and the levels of glycated hemoglobin, albumin, prealbumin, hemoglobin, and leukocyte count. Patients were classified according to general data, and the total scores of pain degree and pain-related effects were counted. Data were statistically analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test. The indicators with statistically significant differences in univariate analysis were selected for generalized linear model analysis to screen the independent risk factors of pain severity and pain-related effects in DFU patients. Results:A total of 44 questionnaires were sent out, and 42 valid questionnaires were collected, with effective recovery of 95.45%. The scores of the heaviest pain, the least pain, the average pain, and the current pain in DFU patients were 5 (0, 10), 2 (0, 6), 3 (0, 8), and 2 (0, 8), respectively, and the total score of the pain severity was 11 (0, 24); the scores of pain-related effects on patients' daily life, mood, walking ability, daily work, relationship with others, sleep, and life interest were 4 (0, 10), 4 (0, 10), 5 (0, 10), 5 (0, 10), 3 (0, 10), 4 (0, 10), and 4 (0, 10), respectively, and the total score of pain-related effects was 30 (0, 63). In 42 DFU patients, most patients were male, aged 39-87 (67±10) years, most patients had education level of junior high school, most patients had diabetes for more than 20 years, half of patients' wounds were Wagner grade 4, most patients had body mass index and leukocyte count within normal limits, most patients had partial dependence on self-care ability, the bacterial culture results of wound specimen in the vast majority of patients were positive, about half of the patients had abnormal level of albumin, and most patients had abnormal levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, prealbumin, and hemoglobin. Univariate analysis of the above general data showed that total scores of pain severity among patients with different hemoglobin levels and leukocyte counts were statistically significant different (with Z values of -2.05 and -2.55, respectively, P<0.05), and the total scores of pain-related effects on patients with different hemoglobin levels, leukocyte counts, and bacterial culture results of wound specimen were statistically significant different (with Z values of -2.66, -2.02, and -2.12, respectively, P<0.05). Generalized linear model analysis showed that leukocyte count was an independent risk factor for pain severity and pain-related effects in 42 DFU patients (with 95% confidence intervals of 0.28-11.87 and 5.67-36.99, respectively, standardized regression coefficient values of 6.17 and 21.33, respectively, both P values <0.05). The bacterial culture result of wound specimen was an independent risk factor for pain-related effects in 42 DFU patients (with 95% confidence interval of 2.92-39.09, standardized regression coefficient value of 21.00, P<0.05). Conclusions:DFU patients often suffer pain, and the bacterial culture results of wound specimen and leukocyte count are the main factors affecting the pain of DFU patients.

The SES score of the observation group on the day after the intervention and one month after the intervention were significantly higher than those of the control group, with statistical significance (P＜ 0.01). Conclusions? The Satia model team intervention is helpful to improve family relationship, self-esteem and social reintegration of patients with colorectal cancer after radical operation.

Objective:To establish a nomogram model for predicting positive resection margins after prostate cancer surgery, and to perform the corresponding verification, in order to predict the risk of positive resection margins after surgery.Methods:A total of 2 215 prostate cancer patients from The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, Hospital, Peking University First Hospital, Peking University Third Hospital, Peking University, and First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University were included in the PC-follow database from 2015 to 2018, and a simple random sampling method was used. They were divided into 1 770 patients in the modeling group and 445 patients in the verification group. In the modeling group, the age (<60 years, 60 to 70 years, >70 years), PSA (<4 ng/ml, 4-10 ng/ml, 11-20 ng/ml, >20 ng/ml), pelvic MRI (negative, suspicious, positive), clinical stage of the tumor (T 1-T 2, ≥T 3), percentage of positive needles (≤33%, 34%-66%, >66%), Gleason score of biopsy pathology (≤6 points, 7 points, ≥8 points). Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were performed to screen meaningful indicators to construct a nomogram model. The model was used for validation in the validation group. Results:The results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative PSA level ( OR=2.046, 95% CI 1.022 to 4.251, P=0.009), percentage of puncture positive needles ( OR=1.502, 95% CI 1.136 to 1.978, P=0.002), Gleason score of puncture pathology ( OR=1.568, 95% CI 1.063 to 2.313, P=0.028), pelvic MRI were correlated ( OR=1.525, 95% CI 1.160 to 2.005, P=0.033). Establish a nomogram model for independent predictors of positive margin of prostate cancer. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the validation group is 0.776. The area under the ROC curve of the preoperative PSA level, percentage of puncture positive needles, puncture pathology Gleason score, pelvic MRI, postoperative pathology Gleason score were 0.554, 0.615, 0.556, 0.522, and 0.560, respectively. The difference between the nomogram model and other indicators was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The constructed nomogram model has higher diagnostic value than the preoperative PSA level, percentage of puncture positive needles, Gleason score of puncturing pathology, pelvic MRI, and postoperative pathological Gleason score in predicting positive margin.
