Objective To establish a model of isoniazid induced necrosis and apoptosis in HepG2 cell and to observe the expressions of Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) in this model.Methods HepG2 cells were treated with different dosages of isoniazid (0,1,2,4,6 and 8 mg/mL) or blank control for 24 hours.Flow cytometer was used to observe the cellular morphology of the HepG2 cell.Annexin V/propidium iodide double staining and flow cytometry were employed to detect the necrosis and apoptosis of HepG2 cells.The expressions of Fas/FasL on the cells were also determined by flow cytometry.The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA.The comparisons between the drug groups and the control group were performed by using Dunnett t test. Results The higher the dose of isoniazid (4,6,8 mg/mL) was,the more necrosis and apoptosis were observed.In the 4,6 and 8mg/mL isoniazid arms,the total mortality rates were all higher than the control group [(32.1 ±7.5)%,(34.9±8.1)%,(38.2±9.4)% vs (7.2±1.5)% respectively](t=4.62,5.14 and 5.75,respectively; all P<0.01 ).The expression levels of Fas increased along with the dose of isoniazid increasing [(8.7±2.2)%,(11.5±2.8)%,(12.3±3.0)% and (10.6±2.9)% in isoniazid 2,4,6and 8 mg/mL arms,respectively],which were all higher than that in control arm [(3.1 ±0.8) %](t=2.97,P<0.05; t=4.46,P<0.01; t=4.88,P<0.01; t=3.98,P<0.05).Furthermore,the expressions of FasL increased as well when the dose of isoniazid increased.The expression levels of FasL were (16.2±3.5)%,(21.7±4.8)% and (18.7±4.9)%,respectively in isoniazid 4,6 and 8 mg/mL arms,which were all higher than that in the control group [(7.4±1.4)%](t=3.11,P<0.01; t=5.06,P<0.01; t=3.99,P<0.05).HepG2 cell necrosis increased with isoniazid of 8 mg/mL.However,the increase of apoptosis was not observed.Conclusion Isoniazid can induce HepG2 cell necrosis and apoptosis,and the apoptosis may be related with the increased expressions of the Fas/FasL on the cells.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the frequency of peripheral blood natural killer cells (NK) and HLA-Cw alleles in liver cirrhotic patients with chronic HBV infection and a-cute hepatitis B patients. Methods Thirty liver cirrhotic patients and 30 patients with acute hepatitis B were included in our study, and 41 healthy individuals were enrolled as controls. The numbers of circulating NK cells and activated NK ceils were analyzed by flow cytometry. HLA-Cw genotyping was conducted with polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotide (PCR-SSO). Results The numbers of circu-lating NK cells and activated NK cells in liver cirrhotic patients were 13.22% ± 4.61% and 45.68% ± 14.64%, which was lower than that in healthy subjects (P < 0.05). The numbers of circulating NK cells and activated NK cells in acute hepatitis B patients were 22.62% ± 3.70% and 65.28%± 14.45%, which was higher than that in healthy subjects(P < 0. 05). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups(P < 0.01). The allele frequency of HLA-Cw * 15 in the patients with cirrhosis was signifi-cantly higher than that in the healthy (P < 0.05), and there was a significant negative correlation between the frequency of HLA-Cw * 15 and the numbers of activated NK cells in liver cirrhosis(r =4). 862, P < 0.05). No statistically significance was found between the group of acute hepatitis B and healthy subjects a- bout HLA-Cw(P > 0. 05). Conclusion The function of NK cells in liver cirrhotic patients is low, HLA-Cw * 15 gene may be one of the causes of effecting the antiviral function of NK ceils to induce the persistence of hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection.

All the 154 patients underwent plain and enhanced CT scan of pancreas before operation. The clinical characteristics, radiology features and radiomics features of all patients were collected to construct the clinical characteristics model, radiology model, radiomics model and fused model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of each model was drawn, and those constructed models were evaluated by area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. Based on the optimal model, the nomogram was constructed. Observation indicators: (1) establishment and validation of clinical characteristics model; (2) establishment and validation of radiology model; (3) establishment and validation of radiomics model; (4) establishment and validation of fused model; (5) nomogram of fused model. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Results:(1) Establishment and validation of clinical characteristics model: 3 clinical characteristics, including age, symptoms and preoperative serum CA19-9, were selected using multinomial logistic linear regression analysis to construct the clinical characteristics model. Result of the multinomial logistic linear regression analysis was expressed by formula ①: clinical characteristics model score=0.635-0.007×age+0.054×clinical symptoms+0.108×preoperative serum CA19-9. The ROC curve for the test dataset of clinical characteristics model was drawn.

The ROC curve for the test dataset of radiology model was drawn. The AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of radiology model were 0.862(95% confidence interval as 0.791?0.932, P<0.05), 78.8%, 81.8%, 77.5%, 62.8%, 90.2% for the training dataset and 0.853(95% confidence interval as 0.713?0.994), P<0.05), 88.9%, 89.4%, 88.5%, 85.0%, 92.0% for the test dataset, respectively. (3) Establishment and validation of radiomics model: 4 categories of a total 1 067 radiomics features were extracted from 154 patients with pancreatic cystic neoplasms, including 7 first-order histogram features, 53 texture features, 848 wavelet features and 159 local binary pattern features. A total of 896 stable radiomics features were retained to construct the model, based on the condition of intraclass correlation coefficient >0.9. After selected by variance threshold and correlation coefficient threshold, 350 radiomics features were retained. Fifty synthetic radiomics features were constructed based on the original features in order to obtain potential radiomics features, and the total number of radiomics features was 400. After analyzed by the five-fold recursive feature elimination, 22 radiomics features were screened out, including 13 wavelet features, 7 synthetic radiomics features and 2 local binary pattern features. The support vector machine algorithm was used to construct the radiomics model. The penalty coefficient 'C' and parameter 'γ' of the radiomics model were 35.938 and 0.077, respectively. The kernel function of the radiomics model was 'radial basis function kernel'. The ROC curve of radiomics model using 5-fold cross validation was drawn. The average AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the radiomics model were 0.870 ( P<0.05), 83.1%, 81.8%, 83.8%, 73.8% and 89.2%, respectively. (4) Establishment and validation of fused model: the fused model was constructed after selecting the tumor location and lobulated tumor of radiology characteristics and radiomics score.

Objective To explore the CT and MRI imaging and clinicopathological features of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (NK/TCL). Methods Sixty-six patients with NK/TCL diagnosed from 2002 June to 2016 April in Beijing Tongren Hospital with intact CT and/or MRI imaging results were enrolled in this study. All the patients had tailed clinical information and follow-up. The imaging and clinicopathological features were analyzed retrospectively and their prognostic value on overall survival was analyzed. Results There were 49 males and 17 females with median age of 42 years. The median follow-up time was 18 months. The cases showed surrounding invasions including 10 cases (15.2 %) in soft palate, 5 cases (7.6 %) in hard palate, 2 cases(3.0 %) in tonsil, 8 cases(12.1 %) in upper lip, 13 cases(19.7 %) in maxillofacial soft tissue, 9 cases (13.6 %) in eyelid, 10 cases (15.2 %) in orbital, 3 cases (4.5 %) in maxilla, 6 cases (9.1 %) in pterygopalatine fossa,6 cases(9.1 %)in infratemporal fossa,3 cases(4.5 %)in skull base, 3 cases(4.5 %) in eyeball and 2 cases (3.0 %) in brain tissue. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis found that the 2-year overall survival rates of the patients with the involvement of hard palate, upper lip, maxillofacial soft tissue, eyelid, orbital, maxillary, eyeball and brain organizer were lower than those of the patients without the involvement of these sites(χ2values were 4.470,4.041,4.456,13.933,8.986,4.000,44.121,6.527,16.822,respectively, all P< 0.05). Further multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that maxilla and brain involvement were independent adverse factors (RR=34.717, 95 % CI 3.404-354.035, P=0.003; RR=37.545, 95 % CI 3.188-442.187, P= 0.004). Conclusions MRI and CT examinations are of great value in diagnosis and prognostic assessment of NK/TCL. Clinicians can make correct and timely diagnosis by comprehensive clinical, radiological and pathological features and can make a detailed clinical assessment to give patients appropriate treatment,thus improving the outcome of the NK/TCL patients.

To explore the technical process and the therapeutic effect of using sequential surgical guide with independent intellectual property rights assisting immediate implantation and restoration of the full arch, with the support from the periodontal splint for mobile supporting teeth, patients with severe periodontitis who planned to undergo immediate full arch implantation were recruited from August 2019 to December 2020 at the Department of Prosthodontics, Department of Periodontology, Department of Implantology and First Clinical Division, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. Through the procedure of collecting preoperative maxillofacial data, making systematic diagnostic design, making periodontal splints fixation, producing surgical guide, and carrying out guided surgery for full arch immediate implantation, eight cases were included. By registering the postoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) with the preoperative data, the difference between the actual three-dimensional position of the implants and the virtual design was observed, and the accuracy of the implant placement position guided by the sequential guide was statistically analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software. Analysis indicators include coronal and apical global displacement, coronal horizontal and vertical displacement, apical horizontal and vertical displacement, and angular deviation. Results revealed that the 8 patients [2 males and 6 females, aged (49.0±9.3) years (38-65 years)] of recruited cases included 7 cases of maxilla and 1 cases of mandible. A total of 48 implants, of which 44 implants were placed upright and 4 were placed tilted, 16 implants in the anterior region and 32 implants in the posterior region. No guide plate fracture or damage to important anatomical structures were reported. The overall displacement at the coronal point [(0.83±0.48) mm] and the global displacement at the apical point [(1.36±0.57) mm] were within the clinically acceptable safety range, and the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement at the coronal point, horizontal displacement and vertical displacement at the apical point, and the angle deviation of implants axial have no statistic significant difference in the anterior and posterior region ( P>0.05). Periodontal splints combined with sequential surgical guides to assist patients with severe periodontitis for immediate full arch implantation and immediate restoration can expand the indications of guide assisted implant surgery. It meets the safety requirements in clinical applications.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationships between internet gaming disorder (IGD), interpersonal needs, loneliness, and depression in adolescents through the construction of a chain mediation model, to clarify the underlying mechanisms of these associations, and to provid a theoretical basis for depression prevention and intervention. MethodsBased on the data of the 7th Population Census, using convenient sampling method 1 106 adolescents aged between 10‒19 years in South China (176), North China (147), Central China (332), and East China (451) were selected to conduct a cross-sectional survey, with a ratio of 1∶1∶1.5∶2.5. The survey was conducted with a questionnaire consisting of general information (sex, age, grade, parents’ education level), the Chinese version of the IGDS9-SF, the INQ-15, the short-form of the ULS-8 and the PHQ-9 were used to evaluate the depression status of adolescents. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between the variables. A multiple-mediator model was constructed using IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 PROCESS to examine the mediating effects of interpersonal needs and loneliness on the relationship between IGD and depression. The significance of the chain mediating effect was tested using the Bootstrap method. ResultsOverall, 39.06% (432/1 106) adolescents experienced depression. The incidence of depression among adolescents with smoking and without smoking was 62.50% and 38.36%, respectively. Similarly, the incidence of depression among adolescents with alcohol consuming and without alcohol consuming was 61.94% and 35.94%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between IGD, interpersonal needs, loneliness, and depression (P<0.01). The chain mediation model demonstrated a good fit, and the bootstrap test showed that the 95%CI of each mediation path did not include 0, indicating significant mediation effects. The overall effect was 0.337. The direct effect of IGD on depression was significant (effect value=0.138, 95%CI:0.102-0.173, P<0.001). The mediation effects included three paths: ① IGD →interpersonal needs → depression (effect value=0.073, P<0.05), accounting for 21.47% of the total effect;② IGD→ loneliness → depression (effect value=0.093, P<0.05), accounting for 27.35%; and ③ IGD → interpersonal needs → loneliness → depression (effect value=0.036, P<0.05), accounting for 10.59%. ConclusionInterpersonal needs and loneliness independently and jointly mediate the relationship between IGD and depression among adolescents. To reduce depression and improve mental health in this population, measures should be taken to prevent and intervene in IGD, address adolescents’ social and emotional needs, enhance satisfaction of interpersonal needs, and reduce loneliness.
