Clinical practice guidelines play an important role in practitioner and patient decisions regarding appropriate clinical health care and in health policy formation. In the guideline development process, inappropriate methodologies and development strategies significantly influence the quality of guidelines; therefore, research and evaluation of guidelines have great significance. The original Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) instrument was published in 2003 by a group of international guideline developers and researchers. AGREE has important significance for the quality guarantee and successful implementation of guidelines, and has extensively achieved endorsement since 2003. In 2009, The AGREE Collaboration has developed the AGREE II by refining the original AGREE instrument. At present, the AGREE II has already replaced the original AGREE instrument; however, related introduction regarding AGREE II has not been found in China. The authors of this article briefly introduce the AGREE II, and believe that it will add value to research and evaluation of the guidelines as a whole.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the let-7 rs10877887 polymorphism and cancer risk in the Chinese population.Methods We searched all relevant studies published on association between the let-7 rs10877887 polymorphism and cancer risk in PubMed,Embase and Wanfang databases up to December 31,2016 were searched.A total of 4 case-control studies comprising 2 754 cases and 3 481 controls were included in this meta-analysis.The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were calculated to examine the strength of the association.Sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the stability of the results,publication bias was also assessed.Results The pooled results showed that there was a significant association between the let-7 rs10877887 polymorphism and overall cancer risk under the dominant model (CC+CT vs.TT:OR=0.90,95%CI=0.82-1.00,P=0.048).Conclusion Base on present studies,the results of this meta-analysis indicated that there is a significant association between the let-7 rs10877887 polymorphism and overall cancer risk in the Chinese population,the let-7 rs10877887 polymorphism could decrease the risk of cancer.

Objective To explore the mechanical properties of the hybrid patch made of porcine acellular small intestinal submucosa (P-SIS) and polydioxanone (PDO) and its effect on repairing the abdominal wall defects of rats.Methods The PDOSIS patch and 8SIS patch were constructed by weaving and vacuum lamination and the mechanical properties were measured.In the both sides of abdomen of 36 healthy female SD rats,a partially defect (lcm × lcm) was created by surgery and repaired with a same area of PDO-SIS patch or 8SIS patch,each 12 rats were randomly sacrificed at 2,4 and 8 weeks after surgery,respectively,and tissue regeneration was evaluated.Results The bending length and tensile strength of the PDO-SIS patch were stronger than the 8SIS patch (P＜0.05) with the increase of diameter.No acute inflammation occurred at the repaired sites of the two groups,but a moderate chronic inflammation was observed 2 weeks after surgery,and the inflammatory response reduced gradually over time,no obvious chronic inflammation was found in the 8th week after surgery,with no statistical differences between the two groups (P＞0.05).Two patch materials were degraded gradually in the repaired area,and the regenerated collagen tissues were deposited continuously,but no significant differences existed between the two groups in the collagen content and collagen arrangement (P＞0.05).Conclusion The PDO-SIS patch has better mechanical properties than the 8SIS patch,and does not cause strong immune rejection when used to repair abdominal partially defect of SD rats.

AIM To investigate the effect of recipient kidney function by CsA coadministration Ber used to induce immune tolerance in rats of allogenic cardiac transplantation. METHODS The authors established the SD to Wistar rats heterotopic cardiac transplantation model by Onos methods.Observe the cardiac allograft survival and levels of BUN and Cr in the recipients plasma. The recipients were classified into 5 groups randomly after heterotopic cardiac transplantation were performed. Group A (Wistar to Wistar)): Received placebo intraperitoneal injected for 21 days; Group B (SD to Wistar): Saline intraperitoneal injected for 21 days; Group C (SD to Wistar):CsA 2 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 intraperitoneal injected for 21 days; Group D(SD to Wistar):Ber 16 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 gastrointubation for 21 days; Group E(SD to Wistar): Ber 16 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 gastrointubation coadministration CsA 2 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ip for 21 days. RESULTS The levels of BUN and Cr in recipint plasma is lower evidently compare with the group with CsA ip simply. CONCLUSION Ber can reduce the renal toxicity in recipients by CsA which was intraperitoneal injected (ip) over a long period time.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability of flow cytometry (FCM) for diagnosing lymphoma associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS).Method:The clinical data in 57 patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)were retrospective analyzed at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from July 2010 to July 2019. All patients were performed bone marrow FCM and bone marrow pathological examination before final diagnoses were made. The golden diagnosis criterion was based on clinical, biochemical and histopathological evidence, which was regarded as the standard to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of FCM analysis in diagnosing LAHS.Results:Among 57 cases, 36 cases were eventually diagnosed with LAHS, including 15 B-cell lymphoma(14 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 1 B-cell lymphoma with reactive T-cell hyperplasia), 13 aggressive NK/T cell lymphoma/leukemia, 2 cases of gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma, 4 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, 1 enteropathy-associated peripheral T-cell lymphoma and 1 anaplastic T-cell lymphoma. Lymphoma cells in bone marrow were detected in all patients by FCM except one ENTCL patient. The sensitivity and the specificity of FCM in LASH compared to bone marrow biopsy were 97.2%( P=0.014)and 90.5%( P=0.488) respectively. In the other 21 non-LAHS patients, T cell receptor Vβ (TCRVβ) rearrangement was detected in 2 patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated primary HLH. Conclusions:FCM effectively detects lymphoma cells in bone marrow of lymphoma patients with LHL, suggesting that FCM could be an important indicator for the diagnosis of LAHS. FCM also has the advantage in differentiating LAHS from other HLH.

The development of acute liver injury can result in liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer, yet there is currently no effective therapy for it. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect and therapeutic mechanism of Lyciumbarbarum polysaccharides (LBPs) on acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄). To create a model of acute liver injury, experimental canines received an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mL/kg of CCl₄ solution. The experimental canines in the therapy group were then fed LBPs (20 mg/kg). CCl₄-induced liver structural damage, excessive fibrosis, and reduced mitochondrial density were all improved by LBPs, according to microstructure data. By suppressing Kelch-like epichlorohydrin (ECH)-associated protein 1 (Keap1), promoting the production of sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1)/p62, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and phase II detoxification genes and proteins downstream of Nrf2, and restoring the activity of anti-oxidant enzymes like catalase (CAT), LBPs can restore and increase the antioxidant capacity of liver. To lessen mitochondrial damage, LBPs can also enhance mitochondrial respiration, raise tissue adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, and reactivate the respiratory chain complexes I‒V. According to serum metabolomics, the therapeutic impact of LBPs on acute liver damage is accomplished mostly by controlling the pathways to lipid metabolism. 9-Hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (9-HODE), lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC/LPC), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) may be potential indicators of acute liver injury. This study confirmed that LBPs, an effective hepatoprotective drug, may cure acute liver injury by lowering oxidative stress, repairing mitochondrial damage, and regulating metabolic pathways.
