OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of quercetin on the cardiac and renal functions of rats with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) based on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/nuclear factor kappa- B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. METHODS CRS model of SD rats was induced by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation combined with acute renal ischemia-reperfusion. Model rats were randomly separated into model group, quercetin low-dose group (35 mg/kg), quercetin high-dose group (70 mg/kg), high-dose of quercetin+740Y-P group (70 mg/kg quercetin+3.5 mg/kg PI3K/Akt/ NF-κB signaling pathway activator 740Y-P), with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 normal rats were selected as sham operation group. They were given relevant drugs, once a day, for 14 consecutive days. After administration, the cardiac function indexes [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT)] and renal function indicators [blood urea nitrogen (BUN), 24-hour urine protein, and serum creatinine (Scr)] were detected, and fibrosis in the cardiac and renal tissues was observed; the levels of inflammatory indexes [interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in the serum and cardiac and renal tissues as well as the expression of PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway-related proteins in the cardiac and renal tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with sham operation group, the levels of BUN, 24-hour urine protein and Scr, collagen volume fraction of cardiac and renal tissues, the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in serum and cardiac and renal tissues, and the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt and NF-κB p65 protein in cardiac and renal tissues were increased significantly in model group (P<0.05); the levels of LVEF, IVRT and EDV were reduced significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the above indexes were reversed significantly in quercetin low-dose and high-dose groups (P<0.05), and the reversal effect was better in the high-dose group (P<0.05). 740Y-P restored the reverse effect of high-dose quercetin on the indexes (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Quercetin can alleviate cardiac and renal fibrosis and function injury, the mechanism of which may be 20232016) associated with inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the G894T polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene and the lipid metabolism in patients with irypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP). Methods The 528 cases of HDCP patients admitted to the Xingtai Third Hospital from January 2016 to January 2020 were selected as the research objects, and 128 normal pregnant women during the same period were selected as the control group. The fasting peripheral venous blood of all stud)' subjects in the early morning was collected, and blood lipid indexes, cystatin C (CysC) and uric acid levels and other biochemical index levels were measured. According to the blood lipid level, it was divided into normal blood lipid group and dyslipidemia group. The dyslipidemia group included 4 subgroups [ hyper triglyceride (TG) blood group (T G ^ 1. 70 mmol/L), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] Iryper lipidemia group (HDL-C< 1. 04 mmol/L), high total cholesterol (TC) group (TC ^ 5 . 18 mmol/L), mixed hyperlipidemia group (TG ^ 1. 70 mmol/L, TC ^ 5.18 mmol/L)]. In addition, polymerase chain reaction-restriction endonuclease length fragment polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to perform genotyping analysis on the G894T locus of the eNOS gene, which was divided into TT, GT and GG genotypes. The distribution of gene polymorphisms in people with different blood lipid levels was compared, and Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of dyslipidemia and the relationship between NOS gene G894T polymorphism and dyslipidemia. Results The expected and observed genotypes of GG, GT, TT, eNOS gene G894T locus in the stud)' group and the control group conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law (X' = 0. 651, P = 0. 722 •X' =i. 845, P = 0. 398), and the GG type gene frequency and G allele frequency of the stud)' group were higher than those of the control group, and the TT type gene frequency and T allele frequency of the stud)' group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0. 05); homocysteine (Hey), uric acid, C-reactive protein (CRP).The urine microalbumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) level and body mass index(BMI) were higher than those in the normal blood lipid group, and the rate of taking antihypertensive drugs was lower (P < 0 . 05). Dyslipidemia group eNOS gene (G894T) gene GG gene frequency and G allele were higher than normal blood lipid group, TT gene frequency and T allele were lower than normal blood lipid group (P<0.001). The BMI of patients in the low HDL-C group, hyper TG group and mixed hyperlipidemia group was higher than that of the normal blood lipid group (P< 0. 05); The Hey level of the mixed hyperlipidemia group was higher than that of the normal blood lipid group (P<0. 05). The TT gene frequency and T allele frequency of the low HDL-C group and the mixed hyperlipidemia group were significantly lower than those of the normal blood lipid group, and the GG gene frequency and G allele frequency were higher than the normal blood lipid group (P<0. 05). Logistic regression analysis showed that genotype TT was a protective factor for dyslipidemia in patients with HDCP, and genotype GG, high BMI and high Hey levels were independent risk factors for dyslipidemia. Conclusion There is a significant correlation between the G894T polymorphism of the eNOS gene and dyslipidemia among patients with hypertension in pregnancy. The genotype TT is a protective factor, and the genotype GG/GT is an independent risk factor; at the same time, BMI and Hey will also affect dyslipidemia.

AIM: To study the expression of c-jun in brain stem following moderate lateral fluid percussion brain injury in rats, and to observe the temporal patterns of its expressions following percussion.METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into normal control, sham operation control and injury groups. The rats of injury group subjected to moderate lateral fluid percussion injury (0.2 mPa), and then were subdivided into 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h and 12 h groups according to the time elapsed after injury. The expression of c-jun was studied by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. RESULTS: After percussion for 15 min, Jun positive neurons increased in brain stem progressively, and peaked at 12h. At 5min after percussion, the induction of c-jun mRNA was increased, and remained elevated up to 1h-2h after brain injury. CONCLUSION: The induction and expression of the c-jun in brain stem after fluid percussion brain injury were increased rapidly and lasted for a long time.
7. Nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 composite filling combined with locking plate in the treatment of fibrous dysplasia of femoral bone
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2021;25(4):542-547
BACKGROUND: Nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 composite (n-HA/PA66) has good biocompatibility, osteoinduction, osteoconductivity and osteogenesis. It is widely used in clinical fracture healing, spinal fusion, and other bone repair. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of n-HA/PA66 filling combined with locking plate in the treatment of fibrous dysplasia of femoral bone. METHODS: From May 2015 to May 2018, 15 patients with fibrous dysplasia of bone were admitted to Xingtai People’s Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University. There were 4 males and 11 females, aged 16-58 years. The lesions were all located in the femur. They were all treated with n-HA/PA66 filling combined with locking plate. The patients were followed up for 18-40 months. Imaging examination (X-ray and CT scan) was carried out to evaluate the bone healing. Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score and Harris score were used to assess the functional recovery of patients after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) X-ray films showed that there was a clear boundary between the transplanted bone and the host bone immediately after the operation. At 3 months after the operation, the transplanted bone was replaced partly by crawling. At 6 months, new bone formation was obvious. At 9-12 months, new bone formed completely. The transplanted bone was basically catabolized. At 18 months, the new bone was completely integrated with the host bone. The boundary between the new bone and the host bone disappeared. New bone and host bone are connected by direct trabecula. (2) At the last follow-up, CT images showed that the local lesions were eliminated; no recurrence or metastasis occurred; and the grafts healed completely. The G/N ratio was 0.78±0.09. (3) At the last follow-up, 15 patients’ pain all disappeared, MSTS score was 28.1±0.7. Harris score was 94.3. Daily physical activity was restored. (4) n-HA/PA66 composite material has obvious osteogenic effect on the bone defect caused by the removal of fibrous dysplasia. Locking plate fixation can make patients move early and obtain good postoperative function.

International Eye Science 2021;21(11):2012-2017
AIM:To investigate the main clinical features, pathogen distribution and drug sensitivity of lacrimal angiitis, and to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
METHODS:Retrospective study. A total of 45 patients(45 eyes)diagnosed with lacrimal angiitis in Hebei Eye Hospital from December 2016 to October 2020 were selected to analyze the general information, clinical manifestations and previous treatment history, bacterial culture results, and drug sensitivity test results.
RESULTS:All 45 patients had monocular disease, including 21 eyes with tears, increased secretion, conjunctival congestion in inner canthus, 14 eyes with red and swollen inner canthus, 6 eyes similar to eyelid cyst, and 4 eyes were found and diagnosed during routine preoperative examination. 27 eyes were previously diagnosed with other eye diseases, and the misdiagnosis rate was 60.0%. The positive rate of bacterial culture was 80.0%(36/45), Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most common, followed by Streptococcus; 52.8%(19/36)of the patients were infected with multidrug-resistant bacteria. The sensitivity rate of bacteria to fluoroquinolones(82.9%, 97/117)was higher than that of aminoglycosides(70.1%, 68/97)and cephalosporins(68.1%, 111/163). Except vancomycin, rifampicin, levofloxacin and chloramphenicol were highly sensitive to Gram-positive bacteria.
CONCLUSION: Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most common pathogen of dacryocystitis, followed by Streptococcus. Levofloxacin and rifampicin can be the first choice antibiotics for local anti-infection. Rational drug use can reduce the formation of multidrug-resistant bacteria. The cure rate can be improved by complete removal of stones by incision and plasty of lacrimal canaliculus.

AIM: To compare and observe the characteristics of choroidal neovascularization(CNV)and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy(PCV)in indocyanine green angiography(ICGA)and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA),and to discuss their differences and pros and cons.METHOD: The imaging data of 26 CNV patients(34 eyes)and 19 PCV patients(19 eyes)diagnosed at Hebei Eye Hospital from September 2018 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 20 cases(28 eyes)of wet age-related macular degeneration(w-ARMD)in CNV patients and 6 cases(6 eyes)of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy(CCSC)secondary to CNV. All patients underwent OCTA, fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA)+ICGA, analyzing the characteristic changes of lesions.RESULT: OCTA examination of w-ARMD patients(28 eyes)showed that, except for 2 eyes where no obvious abnormality was seen due to severe bleeding, the morphology of CNV can be seen in the remaining 26 eyes in a clear, three-dimensional way, and even the anatomical level where CNV was located could be found. Among them, 11 eyes examined by OCTA can not only show the morphology, size and affected area of CNV, but also can better distinguish the nourishing vessels, new vessels and anastomotic branches. CNV morphology not detected by FFA+ICGA was found by OCTA in 6 eyes of patients with CCSC secondary to CNV. A clearer vision of abnormal choroidal branching vascular network(BVN)can be found clearer by OCTA than ICGA in 19 eyes of PCV patients, but OCTA cannot show the number of terminal saccular dilatations(polyps)as clearly as ICGA.CONCLUSION: The positive rate of CNV detected by OCTA is higher than that of ICGA. The lesions range of CNV and PCV detected by OCTA is clearer and more stereoscopic than that of ICGA.But it cannot show all terminal saccular dilatations in PCV patients, and it cannot be used to monitor the leakage of CNV or PCV and lesion progression. So it is less effective than FFA+ICGA in this aspect. As a non-invasive examination, OCTA can be used in the follow-up to observe the changes in lesions before and after CNV or PCV treatment.
