Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrogen?rich saline on nuclear factor erythroid 2?related factor 2 ( Nrf2)∕antioxidant response element ( ARE) pathway in the peripheral nerve in a rat model of diabetic neuropathic pain ( DNP ) . Methods Thirty?six healthy male Sprague?Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, weighing 180-200 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table: control group ( C group) , DNP group and hydrogen?rich saline group ( HRS group) . Diabetes melli?tus was produced by intraperitoneal 1% streptozocin ( STZ) 65 mg∕kg and confirmed by fasting blood glucose concentration>16?67 mmol∕L. Hydrogen?rich saline 5 ml∕kg was injected intraperitoneally once a day for 14 consecutive days starting from 14 days after STZ injection in group HRS, and the equal volume of normal saline was given in C and DNP groups. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold ( MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency ( TWL) were measured at 2 days before STZ injection ( T0 ) , and 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after STZ injection ( T1?4 ) . After measurement of the pain threshold at T4 , the motor nerve conduction velocity ( MNCV) of the right hindlimb and distal motor latency were measured. The expression of Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and HO?1 and NQO1 in total protein was detected in the sciatic nerve by Western blot. Re?sults Compared with group C, the MWT was significantly decreased, and the TWL was shortened at T1?4 , and the expression of Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and HO?1 and NQO1 in total protein was up?regulated in DNP and HRS groups (P<0?05). Compared with group DNP, the MWT was significantly increased, and the TWL was prolonged at T3 and T4 , and the expression of Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and HO?1 and NQO1 in total protein was up?regulated in group HRS ( P<0?05) . Conclusion The mechanism by which hydrogen?rich saline mitigates DNP is related to activated Nrf2∕ARE pathway in the peripheral nerve of rats.

Objective:To investigate the pathological characteristics in chronic HBV infection patients with different upper limits of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normal values and the influencing factors of liver tissue injury.Methods:The clinical data of 667 chronic HBV infection patients with ALT<40 U/L and HBV DNA loads >30 IU/mL who received liver biopsy in Zhenhai District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hwa Mei Hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The enrolled patients were divided into ALTⅠ group (<30 U/L for males, <19 U/L for females), ALTⅡ group (≥30 U/L and <35 U/L for males, ≥19 U/L and <25 U/L for females) and ALT Ⅲ group (≥35 U/L and <40 U/L for males, ≥25 U/L and <40 U/L for females). According to the degree of liver inflammation (G) and fibrosis stage (S), the enrolled patients were divided into non-significant damage group (G<2 and S<2) and significant damage group (≥G2 or/and ≥S2). Ridit analysis was used to compare the G/S composition ratio among three ALT groups, Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of liver injury, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to analyze the optimal diagnostic threshold of ALT.Results:There were significant differences in the composition ratio of G and S among the three ALT groups( χ2=13.926 and 14.702, both P<0.001). The constituent ratios of significant liver pathological damage in the three groups of ALT levels were 26.05% (99/380), 32.03% (41/128) and 46.54% (74/159), respectively( χ2=21.596, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high white/globulin ratio and PLT counts( OR=0.246 and 0.986, both P<0.001)were the protective factors for liver tissue injury; while negative HBcAg staining and elevated ALT and GGT levels ( OR=3.797, 1.053 and 1.013, P<0.001 or <0.05) were the risk factors of liver injury. ROC curve demonstrated the ALT threshold of liver tissue damage in male and female patients were 25.6 U/L and 25.5 U/L. Conclusions:In chronic HBV infection patients with normal ALT, with the increase of ALT level, the degree of liver tissue pathological damage may become more severe. The study demonstrates that it is necessary to lower the ALT threshold for protecting patients from liver tissue pathological damage.

Objective:To analyze the liver pathology, clinical characteristics and influence factors in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in immune tolerant phase (IT).Methods:The clinical data of 273 patients in IT phase who underwent liver biopsy from January 2015 to December 2019 were included in this study. The correlation between liver pathological changes and clinical features was analyzed.Results:There were 43 cases (15.75%) with liver histologic activity ≥ G2, 30 cases (10.99%) with liver fibrosis ≥ S2, and 55 cases (20.15%) with liver pathology ≥ G2 and/or ≥ S2. A total of 17.95% patients had liver steatosis. The majority (98.17%) of tissue samples were positive for HBsAg staining, while only 79.49% were positive for HBcAg. The characteristics of liver pathology were comparable in men from women patients. The differences of G and S were not statistically significant according to different HBsAg positivity, while those were statistically significant according to different HBcAg positivity. By univariate and multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors of pathological severity were HBcAg intensity, HBeAg level, and age. However, the differences of liver histologic activity and fibrosis were not statistically significant between those younger than 30 years old group from those older than 30 years old, neither between those younger or older than 40. Although the diagnostic value of liver inflammation and fibrosis 5 (LIF-5) was better than that of aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis 4 score (FIB-4), three diagnostic models for predicting the pathological severity were not strong enough (all area under the curves<0.8). Only the specificity of LIF-5 for predicting≥ G2, ≥ G2 and/or ≥ S2 was over 80%.Conclusions:Approximately 20% patients with chronic HBV infection in IT phase have progressive liver inflammation or fibrosis. The intensity of liver HBcAg and HBeAg level are negatively correlated with the severity of disease. The diagnostic models or most clinical indicators have low predictive effect for chronic HBV infections in IT phase.

Objective:
To detect differentially expressed microRNAs in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) before being treated with pegylated interferon (PegIFN) and the relationship between their target genes and HBsAg loss.
Methods:
Pretreatment differentially expressed microRNAs between different response groups were screened using high throughput microarrays and validated by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Bioinformatics analysis was performed to determine their target genes potential mechanistic roles.
Results:
A total of 417 microRNA were differentially expressed between different response groups, among which 342 were up-regulated and 75 were down-regulated. miR-3960, miR-126-3p, miR-23 a-3p and miR-335-5p were verified to be down-regulated by RT-qPCR result in HBsAg loss group. Bioinformatic analysis result show that the relevant pathways of microRNAs include AMPK signal pathway, NOD-like signal pathway, NF-kappa B signal pathway and mTOR signal pathway.
Conclusions
HBsAg loss is probably achieved as the result of genes expression regulated in association with immune response, further enhance the immune response of HBV elimination and acquire HBsAg loss.
