Cylindromatosis gene is a kind of tumor suppressor genes, whose mutation or deletion will lead to the development of a cylindrical tumor. The deubiquitinating enzyme CYLD protein encoded by it is a member of the deubiquitinating enzyme family. CYLD alters the function of the target molecules by removing the ubiquitin chain linked to the substrate protein K63, and participates in the regulation of signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, JNK and Wnt. This article reviews the recent year’s research progress of CYLD, especially its negative regulatory role in the progression of liver-related diseases.

Objective:To investigate the effects of medical maggot excretions/secretions (ES) on neutrophils phagocytosis and bactericidal effect in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).Methods:The experimental research method was used. Thirty DFU patients (16 males and 14 females, aged (64±7) years)who were admitted to the Diabetes Foot Center, the Department of Endocrinology of Air Force Hospital of Eastern Theater Command from June to December 2020 and met the inclusion criteria were recruited. Discontinuous percoll gradient centrifugation method was used to separate the neutrophils. Cells from each patient were enrolled into normal saline group and maggot ES group (30 wells in each group), respectively; sterile normal saline and ES with a final mass concentration of 357 μg/mL (the same as below) were added, respectively. After 1 and 2 hour(s) of culture, the phagocytosis rate and phagocytic index of cells were observed and counted under Wright's staining. Ten patients were selected, then the cells of each patient were enrolled into Pseudomonas aeruginosa+neutrophils group and Pseudomonas aeruginosa+neutrophils+maggot ES group (10 wells in each group) and were treated corresponding, respectively. Pseudomonas aeruginosa alone group and Pseudomonas aeruginosa+maggot ES group (10 wells in each group) were set up respectively; Pseudomonas aeruginosa+RPMI 1640 culture medium+sterile normal saline and Pseudomonas aeruginosa+RPMI 1640 culture medium+maggot ES were added, respectively. After 2 hours of culture, the number of viable bacteria colony was counted by plate colony number method. Six, six, and three patients were selected respectively, and the cells of each patient were respectively enrolled into maggot ES group and normal saline group (6, 6, and 3 wells in each group, respectively) and treated accordingly. After 6 hours of culture, real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expressions of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and lysozyme in cells, the content of IL-1β and IL-6 in cell culture supernatant were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the positive cells expressing lysozyme were observed with immunofluorescence method. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance, paired sample t test, least significant difference test, and Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results:After 1 hour of culture, the phagocytosis rate and phagocytic index of cells in maggot ES group (53.5% (49.7%, 58.0%) and 3.18 (2.96, 3.32)) were similar to 52.0% (47.5%, 55.2%) and 3.15 (2.96, 3.25) of normal saline group ( Z=-1.701, -1.092, P>0.05). After 2 hours of culture, the phagocytosis rate and phagocytic index of cells in maggot ES group (70.0% (66.7%, 72.0%) and 4.47 (4.22, 4.96)) were significantly higher than 58.0% (55.0%, 60.0%) and 4.11 (3.52, 4.24) in normal saline group ( Z=-4.786, -4.279, P<0.01). After 2 hours of culture, the number of viable bacteria colony in Pseudomonas aeruginosa+neutrophils group was significantly lower than that in Pseudomonas aeruginosa alone group ( P<0.01), and the number of viable bacteria colony in Pseudomonas aeruginosa+neutrophils+maggot ES group was significantly lower than that in Pseudomonas aeruginosa+maggot ES group and Pseudomonas aeruginosa+neutrophils group ( P<0.01). After 6 hours of culture, the mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, and lysozyme of cells in maggot ES group were significantly higher those in normal saline group ( t=-3.279, -4.273, -4.763, P<0.05 or P<0.01); the concent of IL-1β and IL-6 in cell culture supernatant of maggot ES group were significantly higher than those of normal saline group ( t=-9.526, -6.447, P<0.01); there were significantly more positive cells expressing lysozyme in maggot ES group than in normal saline group. Conclusions:Maggot ES can enhance the phagocytosis and bactericidal effect of neutrophils on Pseudomonas aeruginosa by promoting the production of neutrophils immune defense related cytokines and lysozyme in DFU patients.

Objective To explore the feasibility of electrical impedance tomography(EIT)for real-time and accurate monitoring of respiration during HP anti-G movements and the key parameters of pulmonary ventilation.Methods Twelve healthy male students in our university were enrolled in September 2023 and subjected in this study.HP anti-G movements were performed 3 times each for 30 s in the anti-G physiological training apparatus,during which EIT and ophthalmic horizontal arterial pressure were measured to analyze the relationship of the global and local parameters of pulmonary ventilation,including inspiratory volume(IV),expiratory uniform(EU),expiratory speed(ES),center of ventilation(COV)and right-to-left lung ventilation ratio(RtoL)with anti-G ability of anti-G straining maneuver(AGSM).Results The average eye horizontal systolic blood pressure(SBP)at the eye level was 148.82±22.75 mmHg during HP anti-G movements,which was significantly higher than that during quiet breathing(PJ)(95.17±8.51 mmHg,P＜0.001).From the global pulmonary ventilation,the participants had significantly increased IV during HP anti-G movements(P＜0.001).According the d value(mean increase of eye horizontal SBP=SBPHP-SBPPJ),the subjects were divided into 3 groups,with the d value of＞60,30～60 and＜30 mmHg,respectively.The inspiratory volume ratio(IVHP/IVPJ)was the highest in the＞60 mmHg group and the smallest in the＜30 mmHg group(P＜0.01).The subjects had significantly decreased EU and more evenly expiration(P＜0.05),but no change was seen in the expiratory uniformity ratio(EUHP/EUPJ)among the 3 groups.ES was obviously faster during HP anti-G movements(P＜0.001),and the expiratory speed ratio(ESHP/ESPJ)had no significant difference among the 3 groups.The inspiratory time and expiratory time were 0.77±0.32 and 1.59±0.21 s,respectively,and both of them were notably shorter during HP anti-G movements(P＜0.001,P＜0.01).From the local pulmonary ventilation,COV during HP anti-G movements was significantly smaller than that during PJ(P＜0.001),and the ventilation center deviated to the ventral side,and RtoL was decreased and the ventilation distribution deviated to the left lung(P＜0.05).Conclusion EIT can perform real-time imaging of pulmonary global and local ventilation during HP anti-G movements,and it has a great application prospect in AGSM training and monitoring.

Objective:To investigate the effect of posterior nasal neurectomy（PNN） with pharyngeal neurectomy （PN） on chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps （CRSwNP）complicated with perennial allergic rhinitis （PAR）. Methods:83 patients with perennial allergic rhinitis combined with chronic group-wide sinusitis with nasal polyps who attended our hospital from July 2020 to July 2021 were selected. All patients underwent conventional functional endoscopic sinusitis surgery（FESS）+ nasal polypectomy. Patients were divided according to whether they underwent PNN+PN. 38 cases in the experimental group underwent FESS combined with PNN+PN; 44 cases in the control group underwent conventional FESS alone. All patients underwent the VAS, RQLQ, and MLK before treatment, and at 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Meanwhile, other relevant data were collected and the preoperative and postoperative follow-up data were collected and analyzed to assess the differences between the two groups. Results:The total postoperative follow-up period was 1 year. The recurrence rate of nasal polyps at 1 year postoperatively and the nasal congestion VAS score at 6 months postoperatively were not statistically significant in the two groups（P>0.05）. However, the patients in the experimental group had statistically significantly lower effusion and sneezing VAS scores, MLK endoscopy scores and RQLQ scores at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively, and nasal congestion VAS scores at 1 year postoperatively compared to the control group（P<0.05）. Conclusion:For patients with perennial AR complicated with CRSwNP, the combination of the PNN+PN in FESS can significantly improve the short-term curative effect, and PNN+PN is a safe and effective surgical treatment.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic surgery and conventional surgery combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of Neuroblastoma. Method: Forty-three patients with olfactory neuroblastoma undergoing surgery combined with radiotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into endoscopic surgery and conventional surgery. All patients received postoperative radiotherapy at a dose of 60-70 Gy, the 5-year survival rate and local recurrence time of the two groups were compared, and the therapeutic effects of endoscopic surgery and traditional surgery were compared. Result: Through survival analysis, the 5-year overall survival rates of the traditional surgery group and the endoscopic surgery group were 50% and 58% （P=0.560）, the local recurrence rates were 44% and 48% （P=0.288）, and the mean recurrence time was 5.6 months and 12.5 months （P=0.032）. Conclusion There was no difference between endoscopic surgery and conventional surgery combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of Neuroblastoma, and the time of local recurrence was significantly prolonged. In early Neuroblastoma, endoscopic sinus surgery may be superior to open surgery in terms of efficacy and patient survival.

The secondary structures of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA and the cellular proteins that bind to them are important for modulating both translation and RNA replication. However, the sets of RNA-binding proteins involved in the regulation of HCV translation, replication and encapsidation remain unknown. Here, we identified RNA binding motif protein 24 (RBM24) as a host factor participated in HCV translation and replication. Knockdown of RBM24 reduced HCV propagation in Huh7.5.1 cells. An enhanced translation and delayed RNA synthesis during the early phase of infection was observed in RBM24 silencing cells. However, both overexpression of RBM24 and recombinant human RBM24 protein suppressed HCV IRES-mediated translation. Further analysis revealed that the assembly of the 80S ribosome on the HCV IRES was interrupted by RBM24 protein through binding to the 5'-UTR. RBM24 could also interact with HCV Core and enhance the interaction of Core and 5'-UTR, which suppresses the expression of HCV. Moreover, RBM24 enhanced the interaction between the 5'- and 3'-UTRs in the HCV genome, which probably explained its requirement in HCV genome replication. Therefore, RBM24 is a novel host factor involved in HCV replication and may function at the switch from translation to replication.
