Objective To investigate the significance of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1)expression in appraising the prognosis of nasopharyngeal squamous carcinoma (NPC).Methods The expression of ALDH1 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry in human specimens obtained from 120 NPC patients without the history of radiotherapy or chemothetapy.Results A relatively high expression of ALDH1 were observed in 40.0 ％ (48/120) patients of NPC,the expression of ALDH1 in the edge of the cancer nests and stroma,particularly spindle cancer cells were strongly positive.The positive expression of ALDH1 was closely associated with patients' nasopharyngeal tumor size (P =0.011),lymphatic metastasis (P =0.005) and clinic stage (P =0.001),but not associated with their gender and age (both P ＞ 0.05).The Kaplan-Merier and Cox regression analysis indicated that ALDH 1 closely correlated with clinical progrosis of the patients.It showed that ALDH1 was an independent risk factor which may affect the prognosis of NPC patients.Conclusion The expression of ALDH1 protein closely correlate with clinic outcome of NPC,suggesting that ALDH1 is a risk factor for clinic progrosis of NPC patients.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the recovery rate of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children, and explore the prognostic factors in order to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment. METHOD: A retrospective review was conducted for the prognosis of children with sudden sensorineural hearing loss during the past 5 years (from November 2010 to May 2015) in Chinese PLA General Hospital. This paper have a complete clinical data of 101 patients (113 ears)with sudden hearing loss, ranging from 0 to 18 years old Patients were divided into four groups according to hearing recovery and eight putative prognostic factors were analyzed. RESULT: Among 101 patients (113 ears), the ratio of male and female was 60:53. Treatment was initiated from 1 to 183 days after disease onset, with an average of (18.5 ± 22.1) d. Bilateral and unilateral hearing loss were 24 ears and 89 ears, respectively. The proportion of mild hearing loss, moderate hearing loss, severe hearing loss and profound hearing loss were 7.1%, 6.2%, 23.9% and 62.8%, respectively. Vertigo and tinnitus occurred in 54.9% and 77.9% of the patients, respectively. After the treatment, the complete recovery rate was 9.7% and the overall recovery rate was 36.3%. The degree of hearing loss, earlier treatment onset, sex and bilateral involvement were significantly associated with hearing recovery (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children was generally identified as severe and profound hearing loss, but after positive and timely treatment, it can be improved or even cured. The mild hearing loss, earlier treatment onset, unilateral hearing loss and female were positive prognostic factors. The concurrence of tinnitus or vertigo, the results of ABR and DPOAE had no significant influence on prognosis.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the application and significance of the computer-assisted surgery system in precision surgery of mediastinal tumors in children.Methods:The clinical data of 54 children that underwent mediastinal tumor resection surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from August 2008 to November 2021 were collected.According to whether the Hisense CAS computer-assisted surgery system was used before the operation, the patients were divided into three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction group (29 cases, 53.70%) and two-dimensional (2D) CT group (25 cases, 46.30%). The surgical indicators, postoperative hospital stay, and the incidence of surgical complications were compared between the two groups.The t-test, Mann- Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher′ s exact test were carried out for statistical analysis.Simulated surgery and actual surgery were compared for both 3D reconstruction and 2D CT groups. Results:There were no significant differences in gender, age, height, weight, maximum tumor diameter and tumor location between the 3D reconstruction group and 2D CT group (all P>0.05). The operation time of the 3D reconstruction group was [(125.14±41.37) min] was shorter than that of the 2D CT group [(149.24±44.53) min] ( P=0.044). The intraoperative blood loss in the 3D reconstruction group [15.00(13.50, 25.00) mL] was less than that in the 2D CT group [36.00(30.00, 75.00) mL] ( P<0.001). In addition, the indwelling time the closed thoracic drainage tube [4.00 (3.00, 5.50) d] and postoperative hospitalization days [(8.83±3.39) d] in the 3D reconstruction group were shorter than those in the 2D CT group [7.00(5.00, 11.50) d, (11.00±4.10) d] ( P=0.001, 0.038). No significant difference in postoperative complication rates was found between the 3D reconstruction group and 2D CT group ( P>0.05). The simulated operation was consistent with the actual operation in the 3D reconstruction group. Conclusions:3D reconstruction by the computer-assisted surgery system can truly reveal the anatomical relationship between tumors and surrounding organs and blood vessels, and improve the accuracy and safety of surgical resection of mediastinal tumors in children.

Objective:To investigate the effect of miR-425-5p on glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) secretion in intestinal L cells induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS), and to explore its mechanism.Methods:GLUTag cells of intestinal L cell line were incubated with LPS to determine the levels of miR-425-5p and GLP-1. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay, and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Quantitative real time-PCR and western blot were performed to determine the expressions of miR-425-5p, phosphatase and tensin homology(PTEN), proglucagon, and GLP-1. Activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was determined by detecting TOP/FOP ratio. Interaction among miR-425-5p, PTEN, and β-catenin was analyzed using luciferase activity assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP)assay.Results:In GLUTag cells, with the elevation of LPS concentration, the expression of miR-425-5p and the apoptosis rate were increased, while the level of active GLP-1 and the cell viability were decreased. MiR-425-5p was involved in the regulation of LPS on GLP-1 secretion and intestinal L cell viability. Inhibition of miR-425-5p reduced the mRNA expression of proglucagon and the TOP/FOP ratio, increased PTEN protein level, and inhibited cell viability. In LPS-treated GLUTag cells, miR-425-5p increased the level of β-catenin by targeting PTEN, and β-catenin acted as a cis-acting element to induce the transcription of proglucagon and promote the secretion of GLP-1.Conclusion:In LPS-induced intestinal L cells, miR-425-5p promotes the expression of GLP-1 by targeting PTEN to modulate β-catenin.

Objective To study the auditory brainstem response (ABR) of normal adult CBA,C57BL,Kunming and 129 mice and analyze the ABR thresholds and latencies in order to obtain normal values and standardized testing process,thereby providing important reference for future auditory hearing research in mouse.Methods Six -week-old normal mice of CBA,C57BL,Kunming and 129(each strain containing 20 ears of 20 mice) were used in this study.ABR test with both the click and tone burst were carried on.The incidence of each wave and the thresholds and latencies of various strains of mice were recorded.Results For these four strains of mice,wave Ⅱ had the highest occurrence rate and was used to determine the thresholds.Four strains of mice all were sensitive to the sound at 8,12,16 kHz,most to 12 kHz.Under anesthesia condition,the latency of each ABR wave prolonged as testing time increase,especially the waves Ⅲ ～ V which reflected the functions of the part near the cerebral center.Conclusion Under anesthesia state,for these four strains of mice,wave Ⅱ has the highest occurrence rate and is used to determine the threshold.We determine the intensity level at which Wave Ⅱ just appeared as the ABR threshold.The stain of CBA mice is the best one to establish an animal model related to hearing function research because ABR of the other three strains are not stable as the CBA mice.Wave SP can reflect the hair cell functions indirectly.

Background Salidroside (SAL) has a protective effect on multiple organ systems. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) in the atmosphere may lead to disruptions in gut microbiota and impact intestinal health. The regulatory effect of SAL on the gut microbiota of mice exposed to PM_2.5 requires further investigation. Objective To evaluate gut microbiota disruption in mice after being exposed to PM_2.5 and the potential effect of SAL. Methods Forty male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6 to 8 weeks, were randomly divided into four groups: a control group, an SAL group, a PM_2.5 group, and an SAL+PM_2.5 group, each containing 10 mice. In the SAL group and the SAL+PM_2.5 group, the mice were administered SAL (60 mg·kg⁻¹) by gavage, while in the control group and the PM_2.5 group, sterile saline (10 mL·kg⁻¹) was administered by gavage. In the PM_2.5 group and the SAL+PM_2.5 group, PM_2.5 suspension (8 mg·kg⁻¹) was intratracheally instilled, and in the control group and SAL group, sterile saline (1.5 mL·kg⁻¹) was intratracheally administered. Each experiment cycle spanned 2 d, with a total of 10 cycles conducted over 20 d. Histopathological changes in the ileum tissue of the mice were observed after HE staining. Colon contents were collected for gut microbiota sequencing and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) measurements. Results The PM_2.5 group showed infiltration of inflammatory cells in the ileum tissue, while the SAL+PM_2.5 group exhibited only a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared to the control group, the PM_2.5 group showed decreased Shannon index (P<0.05) and increased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in this group was decreased; the SAL+PM_2.5 group showed increased Shannon index compared to the PM_2.5 group (P<0.05) and decreased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in mice intervened with SAL was increased. The principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) revealed a significant separation between the PM_2.5 group and the control group, while the separation trend was less evident among the control group, the SAL group, and the SAL+PM_2.5 group. The unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) clustering tree results showed that the control group and the SAL group clustered together first, followed by clustering with the SAL+PM_2.5 group, and finally, the three groups clustered with the PM_2.5 group. The PCoA and UPGMA clustering results indicated that the uniformity and similarity of the microbiota in the PM_2.5 group were significantly decreased. Compared to the control group, the PM_2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Bacteroidetes and Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05) and increased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, genus Escherichia, genus Bacteroides, genus Prevotella, genus Enterococcus, and genus Proteus (P<0.05). Compared to the PM_2.5 group, the SAL+PM_2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, phylum Actinobacteria, genus Prevotella, and genus Proteus (P<0.05), and increased abundance of Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05). The PM_2.5 group showed reduced levels of propionic acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the control group (P<0.05), while the SAL+PM_2.5 group showed increased levels of propionic acid, isobutyric acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the PM_2.5 group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exposure to PM_2.5 can cause pathological alterations, microbial dysbiosis, and disturbing production of SCFAs in intestinal tissue in mice. However, SAL can provide a certain degree of protective effect against these changes.
