Objective:To investigate the expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tissues and their correlation with invasion and metastasis.Methods:According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 68 cases of cancer tissues (cancer tissue group) and para-cancer tissues (para-cancer tissue group) collected from PTC patients in Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from Jun. 2015 to Jun. 2018 were selected. Meanwhile, pathological specimens from 32 cases of thyroid follicular adenoma patients (thyroid follicular adenoma group) undergoing thyroidectomy during the same period were also enrolled. Immunohistochemical SP staining was used to observe the expression of IL-10 and CXCR7 in different tissues, and the correlation between the expression of IL-10 and CXCR7 and the pathological characteristics of tumor was analyzed.Results:The positive expression rates of IL-10 and CXCR7 in cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in para-cancer tissues and thyroid follicular adenoma group (88.24% vs. 14.71% vs. 0.00%, 75.00% vs. 32.35% vs. 15.63%; P<0.05) . Among 68 PCT patients, 38 (55.88%) had high expression of IL-10, 30 (44.12%) had low expression of IL-10, 32 (47.06%) had high expression of CXCR7, and 36 (52.94%) had low expression of CXCR7. IL-10 expression was positively correlated with tumor multifocal, TNM stage, central lymphatic metastasis, central + cervical lymphatic metastasis, invasion degree and tumor maximum diameter ( r=0.486, 0.509, 0.468, 0.422, 0.629, 0.674, P<0.05) . CXCR7 expression was positively correlated with tumor multifocal, TNM staging, central lymphatic metastasis, central + cervical lymphatic metastasis, and infiltration (r=0.425, 0.563, 0.490, 0.287, 0.481, P<0.05) . Conclusions:IL-10 and CXCR7 are highly expressed in cancer tissues of PTC patients, among which IL-10 expression level is closely related to tumor differentiation degree, TNM stage, cervical lymphatic metastasis, infiltration degree and tumor maximum diameter. CXCR7 is related to TNM stage, cervical lymphatic metastasis and infiltration degree, both of which may be involved in the occurrence and development of tumor.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and bacterial infection and early warning indicators associated with multidrug-resistant infections. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 130 patients with ACLF and bacterial infection who attended The Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2021, and according to the drug susceptibility results, the patients were divided into multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infection group with 80 patients and non-MDR bacterial infection group with 50 patients. General information and laboratory examination results were compared between the two groups to screen for the early warning indicators associated with MDR bacterial infection. The Student’s t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data with homogeneity of variance between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data or continuous data with heterogeneity of variance between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The binary logistic regression analysis and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to assess the predictive value of early warning indicators. ResultsAmong the 130 patients with ACLF and bacterial infection, sputum (27.7%) was the most common specimen for detection, followed by blood (24.6%), urine (18.5%), and ascites (17.7%). Bacterial infections were dominated by Gram-negative bacteria (58.5%). Of all bacteria, Escherichia coli (18.5%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.6%), and Enterococcus faecium (13.8%) were the most common pathogens. Gram-positive bacteria had a high resistance rate to the antibacterial drugs such as erythromycin (72.2%), penicillin (57.4%), ampicillin (55.6%), and ciprofloxacin (53.7%), while Gram-negative bacteria had a high resistance rate to the antibacterial drugs such as ampicillin (73.3%), cefazolin (50.0%), and cefepime (47.4%). The patients with ACLF and bacterial infection had a relatively high rate of MDR bacterial infection (61.5%). Comparison of clinical data between the two groups showed that compared with the patients with non-MDR bacterial infection, the patients with MDR bacterial infection had significantly higher levels of alanine aminotransferase (Z=2.089, P=0.037), aspartate aminotransferase (Z=2.063, P=0.039), white blood cell count (Z=2.207, P=0.027), and monocyte count (Z=4.413, P<0.001). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that monocyte count was an independent risk factor for MDR bacterial infection (odds ratio=7.120, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.478 — 20.456,P<0.001) and had an area under the ROC curve of 0.686 (95%CI: 0.597 — 0.776) in predicting ACLF with MDR bacterial infection(P<0.001), with the optimal cut-off value of 0.50×109/L, a sensitivity of 0.725, and a specificity of 0.400. ConclusionACLF combined with bacterial infections is mainly caused by Gram-negative bacteria, with the common pathogens of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and a relatively high MDR rate in clinical practice. An increase in monocyte count can be used as an early warning indicator to distinguish MDR bacterial infection from non-MDR bacterial infection.
