Journal of Army Medical University 2024;46(12):1441-1446
Objective To analyze the clinical features and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)features of adult diffuse glioma,define the preoperative MRI enhancement grade(ET grade)of the disease,and explore the relationship of ET grade with isocitrate dehydrogenase(IDH)mutation and WHO grade.Methods The clinical data of 306 cases of adult diffuse glioma confirmed by surgery and pathology admitted in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2023 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.There were 169 cases of mutant IDH and 137 cases of wildtype IDH.The differences in gender,age,MRI signal uniformity,clear tumor margin,obvious edema,compression of adjacent ventricles and ET grade were analyzed between the 2 types of IDH patients.A logistic regression model was established to identify the independent influencing factors for IDH mutation,and the correlation of ET grade with IDH status and WHO grade was analyzed.Results There were significant differences in age,whether the MRI signal was uniform,whether the tumor margin was clear,whether the edema was obvious,the compression of the adjacent ventricle and the ET grade in patients with different IDH status.The independent variables were screened by Forward method and then included in the logistic regression model.ET grade,age and tumor margin were independent influencing factors of IDH mutation status and negatively correlated with IDH mutation.For every 1 year increase in age,the probability of mutant IDH in adult diffuse glioma was decreased by 0.93 times.The accuracy of the established regression model for predicting IDH status was 0.859,the sensitivity was 0.852,the specificity was 0.869,and the AUC value was 0.922(0.892~0.952).ET grade was significantly correlated with WHO grade.The most prominent proportion of glioma patients with WHO grade 2 was noET,that with WHO grade 3 was ET2,and that with WHO grade 4 was ET3.Conclusion For adult diffuse glioma,preoperative MRI ET grade is negatively correlated with IDH mutation status,and positively with WHO grade.ET grade is helpful for determination of of IDH mutation status and WHO grade.

In order to study the functions of the HSPs (Heat shock proteins) of Eimeria tenella, we cloned a novel gene (which designated EtHSP) coding HSP of Eimeria tenella by RT-PCR and RACE (Rapid-amplification of cDNA ends). The full-length cDNA sequence of EtHSP was 1802 bp, containing a 1455 bp ORF (Open reading frame) (GenBank Accession No. FJ911605) encoding a deduced protein of 484 amino acids. Real-time PCR revealed that the mRNA level of EtHSP was much higher in sporozoites of E. tenella than other developmental stages (unsporulated oocysts, sporulated oocysts and merozoites). We constructed the recombinant plasmids pET28a(+)-EtHSP, then transformed it into E. coli BL21(DE3) for expression. SDS-PAGE indicated that the fusion protein was expressed in included bodies, with peak expression 6 h after induction by IPTG Western blotting revealed that the protein was specifically recognized by polyclonal antibodies against E. tenella, showing that the fusion protein was native antigen.

Objective:To explore the effect of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiac rehabilitation in patients after heart transplantation.Methods:According to the search terms, the search was conducted on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, WanFang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and EBSCO. The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to January 31, 2022. After 2 researchers screened the article, extracted information, and evaluated the quality, a Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4 software.Results:According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 English articles were selected, including 191 patients in the intervention group and 212 patients in the control group, with a total of 403 patients. Meta-analysis showed that during cardiac rehabilitation exercise in patients after heart transplantation, HIIT could improve peak oxygen uptake in cardiopulmonary function exercise testing [ MD=1.98, 95% confidence interval ( CI) (0.55, 3.41), P=0.007], peak heart rate in chronotropic responses [ MD=6.93, 95% CI (2.62, 11.24), P=0.002], and muscle exercise ability [ MD=337.18, 95% CI (12.02, 62.35), P=0.04]. There was no statistically significant difference in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, peak systolic blood pressure, peak diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate and respiratory exchange rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). A subgroup analysis of peak oxygen uptake was conducted based on the intervention period and the start time of rehabilitation exercise after heart transplantation. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in peak oxygen uptake between the intervention group and the control group when the intervention period was ≤ 12 weeks or the start time was > 6 weeks ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:HIIT effectively improves the peak oxygen uptake, peak heart rate, and muscle exercise activity of patients after heart transplantation. HIIT has a significant impact on peak oxygen uptake when the rehabilitation exercise start time after heart transplantation is > 6 weeks or the intervention period is ≤ 12 weeks.
