Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2008;27(12):923-926
Objective To investigate the effect of rosiglitazone on the expression of platelet CD40 ligand (CD40L) in insulin-resistant rats, and to further determine the relationship between CD40L and insulin resistance. Methods 60 healthy male SD rats [(200±20)g] were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (C), high fat group (HF), low dose rosiglitazone group (LR) and high dose rosiglitazone group (HR). Rats in group C were fed normal chow diet, and the others were given high fat chow diet. After 12 weeks, high dose of rosiglitazone (10mg/kg) was given to rats in group HR and low dose of rosiglitazone (5 mg/kg) was given to rats in group LR for 4 weeks. Rats in group HF and group C were given 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The level of sCD40L was measured by ELISA and the expression of platelet membrane CD40L was detected by immunoprecipitation and Western blot. The insulin resistance (IR) index was calculated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA). Results HOMA-IR, sCD40L level and platelet membrane CD40L expression were higer in group HF than in group C (9.8±3.2 vs. 5.9±1.7, 367.3 ±35.3 vs. 232.3±120.6, 2.1±0.4 vs. 1.4±0.2, respectively, all P<0.05). Compared with the group HF, HOMA-IR, sCD40L level and platelet membrane CD40L expression were obviously decreased in group HR(5.4±1.1, 276.9±54.0, 1.4±0.3, respectively, all P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in HOMA-IR, sCD40L level and platelet membrane CD40L expression between group HF and group LR (P>0.05). Conclusions In insulin-resistant rats, the level of sCD40L and the expression of platelet membrane CD40L were higher. After treatment with high dose of rosiglitazone, sCD40L level and platelet membrane CD40L expression were decreased with the improvement of insulin resistance.

Our aim was to assess the curative effect of endoscopic stenting in patients with pancreatic fistula. One patient suffered from pancreatic fistula was treated by pancreatic stenting drainage. The patient′s condition was significantly improved after endoscopic treatment, and no complications such as abdominal pain, bleeding, perforation, and elevation of serum amylase level were found. The fistula was cured in one week. Followed up for 5 months, no relapse of pancreatic fistula was found, and body weight of the patient increased 4kg. The results of B ultrasonography and abdominal X ray examination were also normal. So pancreatic stenting drainage is an effective and safe therapy for pancreatic fistula and should be the first choice.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) values and Ki-67 labeling index of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:From October 2017 to December 2018, 24 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma [International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ] were prospectively enrolled in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and underwent pelvic morphological MRI on a 3.0 T MR scanner, including three-dimensional turbo-spin-echo APTw imaging and DWI. The maximum diameters of the lesions, APTw values and ADC values on the slice with the maximum diameter of the lesion were independently measured by two radiologists. The ICC was computed to evaluate the inter-observer consistency. Ki-67 immunohistochemical expression status was assessed by one pathologist. The Pearson correlation analysis was performed between the APTw values, maximum diameters, ADC values and Ki-67 labeling index.Results:The APTw values of cervical squamous cell carcinoma were (2.9±0.5)%. Inter-observer ICC was 0.972 (95%CI 0.937-0.988). The APTw values were positively moderately correlated with Ki-67 labeling index [(61.9±18.7)%, r=0.532, P=0.008]. The maximum diameters of the lesions were (28.7±10.6) mm. The mean ADC values were (0.998±0.217)×10 -3 mm 2/s. No correlations were found between maximum diameters, ADC values and Ki-67 labeling index ( r=0.038, P=0.859; r=0.238, P=0.263). Conclusion:APTw values can partially reveal the proliferation status of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: We hypothesize that the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) is involved in the altered regional baseline brain function in social anxiety disorder (SAD). The aim of the study was to analyze the altered baseline brain activity in drug-naive adult patients with SAD. METHODS: We investigated spontaneous and baseline brain activities by obtaining the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data of 20 drug-naive adult SAD patients and 19 healthy controls. Voxels were used to analyze the ALFF values using one- and two-sample t-tests. A post-hoc correlation of clinical symptoms was also performed. RESULTS: Our findings show decreased ALFF in the bilateral insula, left medial superior frontal gyrus, left precuneus, left middle temporal gyrus, right middle temporal pole, and left fusiform gyrus of the SAD group. The SAD patients exhibited significantly increased ALFF in the right inferior temporal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, bilateral middle occipital gyrus, orbital superior frontal gyrus, right fusiform gyrus, right medial superior frontal gyrus, and left parahippocampal gyrus. Moreover, the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale results for the SAD patients were positively correlated with the mean Z values of the right middle occipital and right inferior occipital but showed a negative correlation with the mean Z values of the right superior temporal gyrus and right medial superior frontal gyrus. CONCLUSION: These results of the altered regional baseline brain function in SAD suggest that the regions with abnormal spontaneous activities are involved in the underlying pathophysiology of SAD patients.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of differentiated early cardia cancer and to evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).Methods:A total of 329 patients (331 lesions) who underwent ESD at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from October 2014 to December 2019 and were pathologically confirmed as differentiated early cardia cancer were included in the study and followed up. The endoscopic and pathological data of patients were reviewed to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of differentiated early cardia cancer. The short-term (including en bloc resection rate, curative resection rate and incidence of short-term complications) and long-term efficacy (including incidence of metachronous cancer, recurrence and distant metastasis, and overall survival rate) of ESD was evaluated.Results:The ratio of male to female in 329 patients with differentiated early cardia cancer was 4∶1, and their age was 65.69±8.02 years. Tumor diameter of ≤2.0 cm accounted for 65.9% (218/331). Most lesions were located on the posterior wall (50.5%, 167/331), followed by the minor curve (36.3%, 120/331). The endoscopic morphology of 0-Ⅱc type accounted for 49.5% (164/331). There were 69.8% (231/331) lesions confined to the mucosal layer. The en bloc resection rate was 100.0% (329/329), and the curative resection rate was 83.3% (274/329). Short-term complications occurred in 28 patients (8.5%). With a median follow-up time of 39 months, 11 patients (3.3%) developed metachronous cancer, 2 (0.6%) developed distant metastasis, and no recurrence occurred. Seven patients died, and the overall survival rate during the follow-up period was 97.9% (322/329). The survival rate of patients with curative resection and additional surgery was 100.0% (3/3), while that without additional surgery was 99.3% (269/271). The survival rate of patients with non-curative resection and additional surgery was 96.0% (24/25), and that without additional surgery was 86.7% (26/30).Conclusion:Most differentiated early cardia cancers are well-differentiated adenocarcinomas, with less than 2 cm in diameter at the time of diagnosis with a low rate of ulcer and vascular invasion. ESD is safe and effective for the treatment of differentiated early cardia cancer with a high rate of curative resection, fewer intraoperative and postoperative complications, low incidences of metachronous cancer, distant metastasis and recurrence, and a high overall survival rate. However, additional surgical treatment is recommended for patients with non-curative resection.
