Objective To evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of new nano material occluder of single rivet type (left-disk with no-hub) in treating ventricular septal defect (VSD) in order to provide experimental basis for clinical application. Methods A total of 26 healthy adult dogs were selected for this study . Under thoracotomy , VSD model was established through fluoroscopically-guided percutaneous puncturing of the right ventricular free wall. The models were randomly and equally divided into the study group(n=13, using nano material VSD occluder) and the control group(n=13, using double-hub nitinol occluder). Every two dogs from each group were sacrificed each time at one, 2, and 3 months after percutaneous closure of VSD with corresponding occluder, the tissue samples were collected and sent for gross examination as well as for the optical and electronic microscopy study;the blood concentration of nickel ion was also determined. The state of endothelialization after implantation of the new type occluder was evaluated, and the complications such as residual shunt and superficial thrombus formation were recorded. The results were analyzed. Results By open chest operation with small incision and percutaneous puncturing of the right ventricular free wall, VSD model was successfully established in all 26 dogs. The success rate of the implantation of the VSD occluder in the study group was 100%, while it was 91.7% in the control group. One, 2, 3 and 6 months after the implantation, the heart specimens of 25 dogs were removed and gross examination showed that neither occluder displacement nor alloy wire fracture occurred in both groups. No thrombus formation or vegetation attached on the disk surface was observed. One month after the procedure , in the study group the bilateral disk surfaces of the occluder were covered with thin layer transparent tissue , which were proved to be composed of the fibrous tissue and endothelial cells through pathologic and electronic microscopy study. Six months after implantation, the superficial tissue of the occluder became further thickened and the occluder edge became fused with the surrounding heart tissue. Conclusion The design of the new VSD nano materials occluder, which has a left-disk with no hub, is very scientific. Compared with double-hub nitinol occluder, the new device can shorten the time of complete endothelialization and effectively occlude the VSD. Therefore, this new nano material occluder has promising prospect in clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the expression of p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and its relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics and chemosensitivity of patients.Methods:Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) data for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and 123 patients were included in the study (12 cases had cancer tissues and normal tissues data, and the remaining 111 only had cancer tissues data). Differential expression of PAK2 in cancer and para-cancer tissues was analyzed by using R software, and the potential function of PAK2 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was investigated by using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database signaling pathway enrichment. A total of 34 patients with primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues and corresponding para-carcinoma 34 tissue specimens who underwent surgical resection were retrospectively selected from Chaoyang Central Hospital between April 2016 and June 2021, and 20 cases of normal laryngeal mucosa tissues were selected as the controls. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of PAK2 in various tissues, and its correlation with clinicopathological factors was analyzed. A total of 35 supraglottic primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients were retrospectively collected before induction chemotherapy during the same period, including 20 patients sensitive to chemotherapy and 15 patients resistant to chemotherapy. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression level of PAK2 mRNA in cancer tissues.Results:Analysis of TCGA database data showed that PAK2 expression was increased in cancer tissues compared with that in para-cancer tissues ( P = 0.012); KEGG database signaling pathways showed that the high expression of PAK2 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was related to signal transduction pathways, cell cycle, and cancer. Immunohistochemistry showed that the proportion of PAK2 positive in 34 cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues and normal tissues [58.82% (20/34) vs. 0.03% (1/34), 0 (0/20), all P < 0.001]. There were statistically significant differences in the proportion of PAK2 positive patients stratified with different degrees of differentiation [high differentiation vs. low or middle differentiation: 33.33% (6/18)vs. 87.50% (14/16)], lymph node metastasis [presence vs. absence: 90.91% (10/11) vs. 43.48% (10/23)], TNM staging [stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ vs. stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ: 82.35% (14/17) vs. 35.29% (6/17)] (all P < 0.05), and PAK2 positive patients were not associated with clinical type, tumor size, smoking history, drinking history, and age (all P > 0.05). qRT-PCR showed that the relative expression level of PAK2 mRNA in the chemotherapy-resistant group was higher than that in the chemotherapy-sensitive group (3.89±0.12 vs. 0.78±0.23, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The expression level of PAK2 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues is increased, and the high expression of PAK2 is closely related to the malignant clinical characteristics of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The high expression of PAK2 may indicate the insensitivity to traditional chemotherapy regimens, and PAK2 may be a potential gene that targets and regulates the chemosensitivity of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

To conduct the association between vitamin B12 and mental health in children and adolescents. Five databases were searched for observational studies in any language reporting on mental health and vitamin B12 levels or intake in children and adolescents from inception to March 18, 2022. Two authors independently extracted data and assessed study quality. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of data were performed. The review was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42022345476). Fifty six studies containing 37,932 participants were identified in the review. Vitamin B12 levels were lower in participants with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (standardized mean difference [SMD], −1.61;95% confidence interval [95% CI], −2.44 to −0.79; p < 0.001), attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (SMD, −0.39; 95% CI, −0.78 to −0.00; p = 0.049) compared with control group. Vitamin B12 intake were lower in participants with ASDs (SMD, −0.86; 95% CI, −1.48 to −0.24; p = 0.006) compared with control group, but showed no difference between depression group (SMD, −0.06; 95% CI, −0.15 to 0.03; p = 0.17) and the control group. Higher vitamin B12 intake were associated with lower risk of depression (odds ratio [OR], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.63−0.98; p = 0.034) and behavioral problems (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.69−0.99; p = 0.04). The vast majority of included studies supported potential positive influence of vitamin B12 on mental health, and vitamin B12 deficiency may be a reversible cause for some mental health disorders in children and adolescents.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Shenbai Jiedu prescription (SBJDF) inhibits the proliferation of colorectal cancer (CRC) HCT116 cells. MethodAfter 48 h treatment of HCT116 cells with SBJDF (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 g·L-1), the viability of HCT116 cells were determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetry. Following the classification of cells into blank control group and SBJDF (1, 2, 4 g·L-1) groups, the effect of SBJDF on HCT116 cell morphology was observed under an inverted microscope. The effects of SBJDF on the proliferation of HCT116 cells and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) were detected by colony formation assay and JC-1 probe, respectively. The flow cytometry was then performed for determining cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. The effects of SBJDF on cell cycle-, apoptosis-, and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway-related proteins were determined by Western blot. ResultSBJDF effectively inhibited the vitality of HCT116 cells and changed their morphology in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with the blank control group, SBJDF at 1, 2, 4 g·L-1 significantly reduced cell colony formation (P<0.05, P<0.01),and SBJDF at 2 and 4 g·L-1 arrested the HCT116 cell cycle at G0/G1 phase (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the blank control group, SBJDF at 1, 2, 4 g·L-1 remarkably down-regulated the protein expression of CyclinD1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). SBJDF at 2 and 4 g·L-1 lowered the CyclinA2 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) (P<0.05, P<0.01). SBJDF at 4 g·L-1 reduced the cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) (P<0.01). Compared with the blank control group, SBJDF at 2 and 4 g·L-1 induced HCT116 cell apoptosis, down-regulated the protein expression of anti-apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl as well as the NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins IκB kinase α (IKKα),inhibitor α of NF-κB (IκBα),and phospho-NF-κB p65 (p-p65) (P<0.05, P<0.01), and diminished the mitochondrial membrane potential of HCT116 cells. ConclusionSBJDF inhibits the proliferation of HCT116 cells, which may be related to its inhibition of the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of Shenbai Jiedu prescription inhibiting the proliferation of HCT116 colorectal cancer (CRC) cells by regulating the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/ protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. MethodShenbai Jiedu prescription was extracted by water extraction and alcohol precipitation to prepare freeze-dried powder. HCT116 cells were cultured in vitro, and treated with different concentrations of Shenbai Jiedu prescription (2, 4, 8, 16 g·L-1). The inhibitory effect of Shenbai Jiedu prescription on the proliferation of HCT116 cells was tested by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of PTEN, PI3K, Akt, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), c-Myc, survivin and Cyclin D1. Western blot was employed to measure the protein expression levels of PTEN, phosphorylated PTEN (p-PTEN), PI3K, Akt, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), GSK-3β, phosphorylated GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β), c-Myc, survivin and Cyclin D1, β-catenin nuclear import was explored by immunofluorescence assay. ResultCompared with the control group, Shenbai Jiedu prescription inhibited the proliferation of HCT116 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the mRNA expression levels of PTEN and GSK-3β were up-regulated whereas those of PI3K, Akt, c-Myc, survivin and CyclinD1 were down-regulated after treatment with Shenbai Jiedu prescription (P<0.01). The protein expression levels of PTEN, p-PTEN and GSK-3β were up-regulated whereas those of PI3K, Akt, p-Akt, GSK-3β, p-GSK-3β, c-Myc, survivin and CyclinD1 were down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). Immunofluorescence assay showed that Shenbai Jiedu prescription suppressed β-catenin nuclear import in HCT116 cells. ConclusionShenbai Jiedu prescription inhibited the proliferation of HCT116 cells via the mechanism of regulating the PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
