The human bone morphogenetic protein 7 (hBMP 7) gene was reconstructed in retroviral vector and transferred into incasing cells PT67 by liposome mediated method.The clones of the cells transferred with BMP 7 were selected by G418, and targeted rabbit bone marrow stem cells were infected with the virus granules which secreted from PT67 cells and also selected by G418. The mRNA and protein of BMP 7 gene in transferred cells were analyzed with hybridization in situ and immunohistochemistry. BMP 7 retrovirus vetor was successfully reconstructed. Cells transferred by PLNCX 2 hBMP 7 expressed abundant human BMP 7 mRNA and protein in the cytoplasm. However positive findings were not found in those cells that were not transferred. It may be used to increase the osteogenic capability of BMSc in the study of bone tissue engineering.

Objective: To explore the mediating effect of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) on the association between alcohol consumption and blood pressure, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of alcohol-attributed hypertension. Methods: 1 091 male (age >50 years old) participants with drinking habit were selected from the Guangzhou biobank cohort study (GBCS). Mediation analysis was used to evaluate the mediating effect of Hb and HCT on the association of alcohol consumption (unit/day) with systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), pulse pressure(PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). Results: After adjusting for age, body mass index, education level, personal annual income, smoking, occupation and physical activity, the associations of alcohol consumption with SBP, DBP, PP and MAP were partly mediated by Hb, the proportion of mediating effect was 11.8% (95%CI 4.8%-24.7%), 15.3% (95%CI 6.5%-32.0%), 8.4% (95%CI 2.2%-22.5%) and 13.5% (95%CI 5.9%-27.5%), respectively. The associations of alcohol consumption with SBP, DBP, and MAP were also partly mediated by HCT, the proportion of mediating effect was 6.3% (95%CI 1.0%-16.0%), 8.7% (95%CI 1.4%-21.4%), and 7.5% (95%CI 1.0%-18.6%), respectively. Conclusion There is a significant mediating effect of Hb and HCT on the association between alcohol consumption and blood pressure. Besides efforts on alcohol control, the potential effects of alcohol-induced increase on Hb and HCT, which might also increase the blood pressure, need to be considered to achieve optimal monitoring and prevention of alcohol-related hypertension.

Objective To examine the association of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and serum uric acid (SUA) in middle and elderly Chinese. Methods 10 413 Guangzhou residents aged ≥50 were included in the present study. Information on personal history,physical examination and biochemical parameters were collected. Subjects were grouped by the FPG level,association between FPG and SUA. Levels of hyperuricemia(HUA)were evaluated. Results The SUA levels and the incidence of HUA showed trends of increasing,with the increasing FPG levels in women,with statistically significant differences seen among all the FPG groups(P value for trend<0.05). While the statistical differences of SUA levels and the incidence rates of HUA among diabetes group(DM group)and impaired fasting glucose(IFG)groups were non-significant(P>0.05)but it was higher than normal FPG group in men (P<0.05). Logistic regression models were built between various FPG groups and HUA. After adjusting for age,smoking status,drinking status,physical activity, hypertension,body mass index and the levels of triglyceride and creatin. When compared to the normal FPG group,the risk of women suffering from HUA increased by 40%(95%CI:1.19-1.64) under the FPG in the range of 6.1-6.9 mmol/L. Compared to those non-diabetic individuals,the risk of diabetic patients suffering from HUA also increased by 44%(95%CI:1.15-1.79) in women. However,the risk of suffering from HUA did not relate to the increase of FPG in men. Conclusion The SUA level and the incidence of HUA tended to increase along with the increasing levels of FPG in middle and elderly Chinese women and the increase of FPG might also increase the risk of HUA,but not in men.

Objective To examine the association between weight changes during early and middle adulthood and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in middle aged and elderly population.Methods Based on the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study (GBCS),28 736 residents aged ≥50 years were included in Guangzhou.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between body weight changes during early or middle adulthood and age when the heaviest weight reaching the threshold on the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in middle age or elderly population.Adjustments on age,smoking,alcohol consumption,physical activity,education level,occupation,district of residence and body mass index etc.,were made.Results The mean age was 64.3 (standard deviation=6.7) years in men and 61.0 (standard deviation=7.0) years in women,with the prevalence rates of diabetes as 13.1％ and 13.7％ in men and women,respectively.Compared to those with stable body weight,the risk of diabetes increased with weight gain during early and middle adulthood in both men and women (both P values for trend ＜0.01).Participants who gained more than 20 kg during early and middle adulthood were associated with the highest risk of diabetes in men (OR=2.83,95％ CI:1.99-4.02) and women (OR=3.13,95％CI:2.47-3.96).Compared to those who reached the highest weight at age 20,those who reaching the highest weight at 40 to 49 years were associated with the highest risk of diabetes,with OR being 5.32 (95％CI:1.92-14.8) in men and 3.41 (95％CI:2.49-4.67) in women,respectively.Weight loss in adulthood was associated with self-reported but not newly diagnosed diabetic cases in both middle and older aged men and women.Conclusion Weight gain during early and middle adulthood may increase the risk of diabetes in middle and older aged population.The detrimental effect of obesity on diabetes might become significantly visible in the next decades.

Objective:To explore the value of the Nomogram model established by CT radiomics combined with clinical indicators for prediction of the severity of early acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:From January 2016 to March 2023, the AP patients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively collected. According to the revised Atlanta classification and definition of acute pancreatitis in 2012, all patients were divided into the severe group and the non-severe group. All patients were first diagnosed, and abdominal CT plain scan and enhanced scan were completed within 1 week. Patients were randomly (random number) divided into training and validation groups at a ratio of 7:3. The pancreatic parenchyma was delineated as the region of interest on each phase CT images, and the radiomics features were extracted by python software. LASSO regression and 10-fold cross-validation were used to reduce the dimension and select the optimal features to establish the radiomics signature. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to select the independent predictors of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and a clinical model was established. A Nomogram model was established by combining CT radiomics signature and clinical independent predictors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each model.Results:Total of 205 AP patients were included (59 cases in severe group, 146 cases in non-severe group). 3, 5, 5 and 5 optimal radiomics features were selected from the plain CT scan, arterial phase, venous phase and delayed phase images of all patients, and the radiomics models were established. Among them, the arterial phase radiomics model had relatively better performance in predicting SAP, with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.937 in the training group and 0.913 in the validation group. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were independent predictors of SAP, and they were used to establish a clinical model. The AUC in the training and validation groups were 0.879 and 0.889, respectively. The Nomogram model based on arterial phase CT radiomics signature, CRP and LDH was established, and the AUC was 0.956 and 0.947 in the training group and validation group, respectively. DCA showed that the net benefit of Nomogram model was higher than that of clinical model or radiomics model alone.Conclusions:The Nomogram model established by CT radiomics combined with clinical indicators has high application value for early prediction of the severity of AP, which is conducive to the formulation of clinical treatment plans and prognosis evaluation.

Objectives:This study aims to explore the clinical significance of lateral pelvic sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation in laparoscopic lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LLND) and evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of this technique to predict the status of lateral pelvic lymph nodes (LPLNs).Methods:The clinical and pathological characteristics, surgical outcomes, lymph node findings and perioperative complications of 16 rectal cancer patients who underwent SLNB using ICG fluorescence navigation in laparoscopic LLND in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College during April 2017 and October 2022 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The patients did not receive preoperative neoadjuvant radiotherapy and presented with LPLNs but without LPLN enlargement (MRI showed the maximum short axes of the LPLNs were ≥5 mm and <10 mm at first visit).Results:All 16 patients were successfully performed SLNB using ICG fluorescence navigation in laparoscopic LLND. Three patients underwent bilateral LLND and 13 patients underwent unilateral LLND. The lateral pelvic sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) were clearly fluorescent before dissection in 14 patients and the detection rate of SLNs for these patients was 87.5%. Lateral pelvic SLN metastasis was diagnosed in 2 patients and negative results were found in 12 patients by frozen pathological examinations. Among the 14 patients in whom lateral pelvic SLNs were detected, the dissected lateral pelvic non-SLNs were all negative. All dissected LPLNs were negative in two patients without fluorescent lateral pelvic SLNs. The specificity, sensitivity, negative predictive value, and accuracy was 85.7%, 100%, 100%, and 100%, respectively.Conclusions:This study indicates that lateral pelvic SLNB using ICG fluorescence navigation shows promise as a safe and feasible procedure with good accuracy. This technique may replace preventive LLND for locally advanced lower rectal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo examine the association of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and serum uric acid (SUA) in middle and elderly Chinese.

METHODS10 413 Guangzhou residents aged ≥50 were included in the present study. Information on personal history, physical examination and biochemical parameters were collected. Subjects were grouped by the FPG level, association between FPG and SUA. Levels of hyperuricemia (HUA) were evaluated.

RESULTSThe SUA levels and the incidence of HUA showed trends of increasing, with the increasing FPG levels in women, with statistically significant differences seen among all the FPG groups (P value for trend<0.05). While the statistical differences of SUA levels and the incidence rates of HUA among diabetes group (DM group) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) groups were non-significant (P > 0.05) but it was higher than normal FPG group in men (P < 0.05). Logistic regression models were built between various FPG groups and HUA. After adjusting for age, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, hypertension, body mass index and the levels of triglyceride and creatin. When compared to the normal FPG group, the risk of women suffering from HUA increased by 40% (95%CI:1.19-1.64) under the FPG in the range of 6.1-6.9 mmol/L. Compared to those non-diabetic individuals, the risk of diabetic patients suffering from HUA also increased by 44% (95% CI:1.15-1.79) in women. However, the risk of suffering from HUA did not relate to the increase of FPG in men.

CONCLUSIONThe SUA level and the incidence of HUA tended to increase along with the increasing levels of FPG in middle and elderly Chinese women and the increase of FPG might also increase the risk of HUA, but not in men.
