【Objective】 To investigate whether there is a correlation between the differences in ABO blood group distribution in patients with pancreatic cancer, and to evaluate the relative risk. 【Methods】 Patients with pathological diagnosis or discharge diagnosis of pancreatic cancer who underwent ABO blood group typing in our hospital from January 2017 to October 2021 were selected, and the blood group distribution of patients and the correlation were analyzed. 【Results】 There was a statistically significant difference between the pancreatic cancer group and the control group (P<0.05). The study showed that type A may be a relative risk factor for pancreatic cancer patients (χ²=42.44, P<0.001), and type B may play a protective role (χ²=16.28, P<0.01). Significant differences were found in distribution between different gender groups (χ²=64.35, P<0.05). The test results showed that type A may be a risk factor for pancreatic cancer in men (χ²=35.2, OR=1.7, 95%CI=0.59-1.02, P<0.001), and type O may play a protective role in pancreatic cancer(χ²=18.22, OR=0.6, 95%CI=0.25-0.32, P<0.01); type A may be a relative risk factor for female pancreatic cancer patients (χ²=7.06, OR=1.4, 95%CI=0.59-1.02, P<0.001), while type B may play a protective role (χ²=20.32, OR=0.5, 95%CI=0.32-0.43, P<0.01). In pancreatic cancer group, the risk factors of blood type A were higher than those of non-A group, and the protective effect of type B was significantly higher than that of non-B group. 【Conclusion】 The distribution of blood group and relative risk factors in pancreatic cancer patients suggest that A type is predominant; in the population with A blood group, more attention should be paid to early prevention and early treatment, so as to reduce the risk of disease.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence of dry and wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in patients with diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and to analyze the risk factors for AMD. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional epidemiologic study was conducted involving 14,440 individuals. We assessed the prevalence of dry and wet AMD in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects and analyzed the risk factors for AMD. Results: The prevalence of wet AMD in diabetic and non-diabetic patients was 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively, and the prevalence of dry AMD was 17% and 16.4%, respectively. The prevalence of wet AMD in healthy, hypertensive, hyperlipidemic, and hypertensive/hyperlipidemic populations was 0.5%, 0.3%, 0.2%, and 0.7%, respectively. The prevalence of dry AMD in healthy, hypertensive, hyperlipidemic, and hypertensive/hyperlipidemic populations was 16.6%, 16.2%, 15.2%, and 17.2%, respectively. Age, sex, body mass index, and use of hypoglycemic drugs or lowering blood pressure drugs were corrected in the risk factor analysis of AMD. Diabetes, diabetes/hypertension, diabetes/hyperlipidemia, and diabetes/hypertension/hyperlipidemia were analyzed. None of the factors analyzed in the current study increased the risk for the onset of AMD. Conclusion There was no significant difference in the prevalence of wet and dry AMD among diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Similarly, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of wet and dry AMD among subjects with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Diabetes co-existing with hypertension and hyperlipidemia were not shown to be risk factors for the onset of dry AMD.

Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug, which is safe at therapeutic doses but can cause severe liver injury and even liver failure after overdoses. The mouse model of APAP hepatotoxicity recapitulates closely the human pathophysiology. As a result, this clinically relevant model is frequently used to study mechanisms of drug-induced liver injury and even more so to test potential therapeutic interventions. However, the complexity of the model requires a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology to obtain valid results and mechanistic information that is translatable to the clinic. However, many studies using this model are flawed, which jeopardizes the scientific and clinical relevance. The purpose of this review is to provide a framework of the model where mechanistically sound and clinically relevant data can be obtained. The discussion provides insight into the injury mechanisms and how to study it including the critical roles of drug metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, necrotic cell death, autophagy and the sterile inflammatory response. In addition, the most frequently made mistakes when using this model are discussed. Thus, considering these recommendations when studying APAP hepatotoxicity will facilitate the discovery of more clinically relevant interventions.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effects of exosome originated from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSCs) on proliferation, migration and invasion of prostate cancer PC-3 cell and its mechanism. Methods: qPCR was used to detect the expression level of miR-21-5p in prostate cancer cell lines. The morphology of exosomes isolated from BMSCs was observed with an electron microscope. Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of exosome surface markers and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins (E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin). Dual luciferase reporter gene experiment was used to detect the targeted regulation relationship between miR-21-5p and PH domain leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatase 2 (PHLPP2). PC-3 cells were co-cultured with 10 μl BMSCs exosomes suspension (Exo group), transfected with sh-PHLPP2 or antagomiR, then CCK-8 and Transwell experiments were used to detect changesinproliferation,migrationandinvasionofPC-3cell.Results: miR-21-5p was highly expressed in prostate cancer PC-3 cell line. The exosomes in the supernatant of BMSCs culture fluid were successfully isolated, and the typical vesicle-like structures of exosomes were observed under transmission electron microscope. Exosomes expressed specific proteins such as CD9, CD63 and CD81. In the Exo group, the proliferation, invasion, migration, as well as the expressions of N-cadherin, Vimentin and miR-21-5p in PC-3 cells were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). PHLPP2 is a target gene of miR-21-5p. Compared with the control group, the expression of PHLPP2 in PC-3 cells of Exo group and sh-PHLPP2 group was significantly reduced (0.66±0.09, 0.42±0.05 vs 1.09±0.08, all P<0.01); cell viability, invasion and migration were significantly improved (all P<0.01); and E-cadherin expression level was significantly reduced while N-cadherin and Vimentin expressions were significantly increased (both P<0.05). Conclusion: miR-21-5p is highly expressed in prostate cancer PC-3 cell line. BMSC exosome miR-21-5p can increase the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of PC-3 cells through targeted down-regulation of PHLPP2.

<b>Objective:b> To understand the seasonal distribution of patient hospitalization due to asthma exacerbation in 7 geographic areas in China. <b>Methods:b> This was a retrospective study which involved patients hospitalized for asthma exacerbation in 29 hospitals throughout 7 geographic areas in the mainland of China (northeast, north, central, east, south, northwest and southwest). The numbers of asthmatic patients and total inpatients of the respiratory department of each hospital were recorded. The monthly ratio of asthmatic patients to the total inpatients in every area was calculated and compared. <b>Results:b> During the study period, 6 480 patients were admitted for asthma exacerbation, accounting for 3.14% of all the 206 135 patients admitted to the respiratory departments in the 29 hospitals. The ratio of asthmatic patients to total inpatients in the northeast area (5.61%) was highest, and the ratio in east area was lowest (1.97%). Statistical analysis showed that the difference among different areas was significant (P<0.000 1). In most areas, both the number and proportion of hospitalized asthmatic patients peaked in spring (February-April) and autumn (September-October). In the northeast area, east area and south area, the peaks in spring were more obvious, while in the north area and southwest area, the peaks in autumn were more obvious. In the northwest area the peaks occurred in winter (December-January) and summer (June-August), respectively. The differences in hospitalization due to asthma among different months were significant in the northeast, north, and southwest areas (P<0.005). <b>Conclusion:b> The number of patients hospitalized for asthma exacerbation fluctuated with season in different areas in China. In most areas, more asthmatic patients were admitted to hospitals in spring and autumn.

Parkinson's disease, characterized by motor dysfunction due to the loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, is one of the most prevalent age-related neurodegenerative disorders. Given there is no current cure, the stem cell approach has emerged as a viable therapeutic option to replace the dopaminergic neurons that are progressively lost to the disease. The success of the approach is likely to depend upon accessible, renewable, immune compatible, and non-tumorigenic sources of neural progenitors from which stable dopaminergic neurons can be generated efficaciously. Here, we demonstrate that neural progenitors derived from limbus, a regenerative and accessible ocular tissue, represent a safe source of dopaminergic neurons. When the limbus-derived neural progenitors were subjected to a well-established protocol of directed differentiation under the influence of Shh and FGF8, they acquired the biochemical and functional phenotype of dopaminergic neurons that included the ability to synthesize dopamine. Their intrastriatal transplantation in the rat model of hemi-Parkinsonism was associated with a reduction in the amphetamine-induced rotation. No tumor formation was observed 6 weeks post-transplantation. Together, these observations posit limbus-derived neural progenitors as an accessible and safe source of dopaminergic neurons for a potential autologous ex-vivo stem cell approach to Parkinson's disease.

<b>BACKGROUNDb>Diabetic retinopathy (DR) has emerged as a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in the working-aged population worldwide. This study aimed to assess frequency and associated factors of progression of DR in subjects with known diabetes in a population-based setting.

<b>METHODSb>The Beijing Eye Study is a population based study performed in Greater Beijing in 2001 and 2006. The present investigation included all subjects with known diabetes mellitus in 2001, who participated in the follow-up examination in 2006. Fundus photographs were assessed.

<b>RESULTSb>The study included 170 subjects; 51 (30%) subjects showed signs of DR in 2001 and were re-examined in 2006, 36 (21.2%) subjects (18 subjects with DR present at baseline, 18 subjects with newly diagnosed DR in 2006) showed a progression of DR during follow-up. Progression of DR was associated with rural region (odds ratio (OR): 5.43, P = 0.001) and self-reported arterial hypertension (OR: 3.85, P = 0.023). In the non-progressive subgroup, presence of DR was associated with different levels of education (< middle school, middle school, college or higher, OR: 0.30, P = 0.023), treatment modes of diabetes mellitus (OR: 10.24, P = 0.003) and cataract surgery (OR: 9.14, P = 0.007).

<b>CONCLUSIONSb>In a population-based setting in Greater Beijing, progression of DR occurred in 35% of subjects with pre-existing DR and overall in 21% of subjects with known diabetes within a 5-year period. Progression of DR was significantly associated with rural region and self-reported arterial hypertension. In the stable subjects, presence of DR was significantly associated with poor educational level, insulin treatment of diabetes and cataract surgery.
