BACKGROUND:Polyhydroxybutyrate-co-volerate (PHBV) is a noticeable tissue engineering material of polyhydroxyalkanoates family. It has the properties of low immune rejection response and good biocompatibility, and its degradation products are non-toxic.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biocompatibility of PHBV membrane material and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in vitro.
METHODS:Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s at passage 3 were seeded upon PHBV membrane as experimental group and upon conventional culture plates as control group. Then we calculated the adherent cel number of two groups at 1, 2 and 4 hours and got the cel adherent rate. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide assay was used at days 2, 4, 6, 8 to observe the cel proliferation of two groups. Fluorimetric method with the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33258 was used to detect the DNA content of cel s at days 3, 6, 9 and 12 in both groups. After cel s were seeded upon PHBV membrane for 5 days, the cel growth upon the material was examined under a scanning electron microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:When the cel s were cultured for 1 hour, the adherent rate in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group;but there were no significant differences between two groups at the other two periods. No difference was found in the cel proliferation and the DNA content between the two groups. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s seeded upon PHBV membrane for 5 days grew wel with spindle morphology and the intercel ular connections were tight and more extracel ular matrices were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Taken together, PHBV membrane material shows a good biocompatibility with human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s.

Objective: To study the predictive value of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality on prognosis of chronic heart failure in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM-CHF).
Methods: A prospective, multicenter follow-up study in 787 DCM-CHF patients was conducted, and the endpoints were obtained by clinical visit, mail contact and telephone conversation. The independent predictors for all cause death were determined by Cox regression analysis, QRS duration > 120 ms was studied and the survival rates were investigated by Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Results: There were 203 patients died during the follow-up period. Cox regression analysis found that the following indexes were related to all cause death: atrial fibrillation (AF) (HR=2.064, 95% CI 1.102-3.864,P<0.05), non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) (HR=3.887, 95% CI 1.554-9.724,P<0.05) and QRS duration (HR=1.010, 95% CI 1.002-1.018, P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the survival rates were different by each stratiifcation of QRS duration,P<0.05.
Conclusion: ECG indexes of AF, NSVT and QRS duration had the important impact on the survival rate in DCM-CHF patients; there were signiifcant differences between QRS durations and survival rates.

We searched for metastasis-related genes in adenoid cystic carcinoma by suppression subtractive hybridization analysis of high and low metastasis cell lines. Twelve genes (ten previously identified and two novel sequences) were identified as being expressed at lower levels in high metastasis cell line Acc-M when compared to low metastasis cell line Acc-2. The known sequences corresponded to the genes for cysteine-rich angiogenesis induction factor (cyr61), chromosome 7 RP11-52501 clone, G-protein, WAS familial ferritin I heavy chain, jumping translocation breakpoint, eukaryotic translation elongation, folate receptor and three ribosomal proteins. Among them, the G protein and ferritin I heavy chain genes contained mutations in the high metastasis cell line. The two novel gene sequences have been named ACC metastasis-associated RNH and ACC metastasis-associated suspected protein (GenBank # AF522024 and AF522025, respectively). Taken together, these results suggest that reduced expression and/or mutation of several genes in the tumor cell line Acc-M are associated with high tumor metastasis, providing important molecular biological materials for further study of metastasis control and possible targets for cancer gene therapy.

Objective:To investigate the multilocus sequence typing feature of the virulence-associated genes of Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) separated from the clinical specimens of a multi-center cohort children in Guangzhou area. Methods:A total number of 412 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from 2 059 non-repeated fecal specimens of children by three groups′ researchers in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from August 2018 to November 2018. While collecting specimens, patient clinical information is also properly collected and preserved. After extracting the DNA of the strain, the virulence-associated genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including the staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) genes ( sea, seb, sec, sed, see) and the Panton-Valentine leucocidin-encoding gene ( pvl).The multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) method was performed to reveal the MLST feature of these genes and the statistical difference were examined by the the χ 2 test. Results:Among the 412 isolates of S. aureus, 256 strains (256/412, 62.1%) contains at least one SE gene. Among the enterotoxin gens, the sec (125/412, 30.3%), seb(98/412, 23.8%)and sea (66/412, 16.0%)genes were the three most prevalent members of SEs. The frequency of pvl gene in Staphylococcus aureus was 18.7%(77/412).Among them, the frequency of Staphylococcus aureus sea gene isolated from patients with gastroenteritis (58/319, 18.2%) was significantly higher than that from the non-gastroenteritis group (8/93, 8.6%)(χ2=4.912, P=0.027). The frequency of Staphylococcus aureus pvl gene isolated from the patients with pneumonia (8/21, 38.1%) was greater than that from the non-pneumonia group (6/47, 12.8%)(χ2=4.252, P=0.039). In addition, the virulence-associated gene of S. aureus was closely related to the specific ST type, 82.4% (28/34) of ST6 carried sea gene, all ST338 and ST59 carried seb gene, 96% (48/50) ST45 carried sec gene, and the pvl gene carrying rate of ST338 was 5/5. Conclusions:The SEA toxin produced by ST6 Staphylococcus aureus may be closely related to the diagnosis of gastroenteritis in children. The frequency of pvl virulence gene in Staphylococcus aureus in children with community-acquired pneumonia was higher than that in the non-pneumonia group, and closely related to the CC59.

OBJECTIVES:
Cervicocerebral artery dissection (CAD) is one of the important causes for ischemic stroke in young and middle-aged people. CAD is dangerous and untimely diagnosis and treatment are likely to result in severe disability. Early diagnosis and timely intervention can greatly improve the prognosis of patients. This study was to investigate the imaging features of CAD on high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (HRMR-VWI) and to analyze the influential factors of vascular recanalization.
METHODS:
A total of 19 CAD patients with both baseline HRMR-VWI and follow-up data of vascular imaging in the period from April 2017 to December 2019 in Department of Radiology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University were retrospectively analyzed. The diseased vessels were divided into a recovery group and a unrecovered group. After treatment, diseased vessels with no residual arterial dissection and no residual stenosis in the lumen were included in the recovery group. Diseased vessels with stenosis, occlusion or residual dissection were included in the unrecovered group. Diseased vessels were divided into a ischemic stroke group and a non-ischemic stroke group according to the presence or absence of ischemic stroke in the area supplied by the diseased vessels. Differences in clinical data and HRMR-VWI imaging findings were compared between the groups.
RESULTS:
A total of 26 vessels were involved, including 14 (53.8%) internal carotid artery extracranial segment, 8 (30.8%) vertebral artery extracranial segment, 3 (11.5%) vertebral artery intracranial segment, and 1 (3.9%) basilar artery. Ischemic stroke occurred in 16 diseased vascular supply areas. Intramural hematoma was all observed in the baseline HMR-VWI of the affected vessels. There were 18 vessels (69.2%) in the recovery group and 8 vessels (30.8%) in the unrecovered group. Compared with the vessels in the recovery group, the vessels in the unrecovered group were mostly found in the intracranial segment (
CONCLUSIONS
Intramural hematoma is a common imaging manifestation of CAD and can be shown clearly and accurately on HRMR-VWI. Recanalization rate of CAD is high, and the recanalization of CAD in intracranial segment is slower than that of CAD in extracranial segment, which can prolong the review time.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and potential mechanism of Dihuangyin on 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) -induced model mice with atopic dermatitis (AD). MethodA mouse model with AD was established by repeatedly stimulating the back skin of mice with DNCB. After successful modeling, the mice were randomly divided into model group, Runzao group (0.78 g·kg-1), and high, medium, and low dose (40.30, 20.15, and 10.08 g·kg-1) groups of Dihuangyin, with 12 mice in each group, and the blank group consisted of 12 mice, 72 in total. The administration groups were given the corresponding liquid by dose, and the blank group and model group were given the same dose of pure water by intragastric administration, once a day. The skin lesions and scratching times of mice were observed after continuous administration for two weeks. The back skin lesions of mice were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and toluidine blue to observe the pathology. The contents of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expression levels of IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-6, Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), and transcriptional activator 3 (STAT3) in skin lesion tissue were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The expressions of JAK1, phosphorylation(p)-JAK1, STAT3, and p-STAT3 proteins in skin lesion tissue were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the blank group, the back skin of the model group showed large-scale scab, dryness, erosion, hypertrophy with scratching, epidermal hyperplasia with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis, hyperacanthosis with edema, and a large number of mast cell infiltration in the dermis, some of which were degranulated. The contents of IgE, IL-4, IL-6, and IFN-γ in the serum of mice were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the protein expression levels of p-JAK1, STAT3, and p-STAT3 and mRNA expressions of IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ, JAK1, and STAT3 in skin lesion tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, only a small amount of dryness and desquamation were observed in the back skin of mice in each administration group, and cell edema was reduced. The inflammatory infiltration was significantly reduced, and the number of mast cell infiltration was significantly decreased. The serum IgE, IL-4, IL-6, and IFN-γ of mice were decreased to varying degrees (P<0.05, P<0.01). The protein expression levels of p-JAK1, STAT3, and p-STAT3 and mRNA expressions of IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ, JAK1, and STAT3 in skin lesion tissue were significantly decreased, and the effect of high dose group of Dihuangyin was the best (P<0.01). ConclusionDihuangyin can improve skin lesions and pruritus in mice with AD, and its mechanism may be related to the effective regulation of cytokines on the helper T cells (Th1)/Th2 axis by interfering with the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway and affecting skin barrier function.
