BACKGROUND:There is no effective therapy for obliterative bronchiolitis after tracheal transplantation. A therapeutic strategy at microRNA (miRNA) molecular level plays a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of complications after organ transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the miRNA differential expression profile in response to obliterative bronchiolitis after orthotopic tracheal transplantation in rats.
METHODS:The obliterative bronchiolitis model after lung transplantation was established through orthotopic tracheal transplantation in inbred strains of rats, and then was identified using histoIogical examination. Total miRNAs were detected by miRNA array and significantly differential expressed miRNAs were filtrated in the transplanted trachea tissues. The miRNA-146a, miRNA-155 and miRNA-451 with significantly differential expressions were used for relative quantitative study. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was applied to verify the reliability of miRNA array results.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The pathological examination showed that, obliterative bronchiolitis model in rats was successful y established at 4 weeks after orthotopic tracheal transplantation. A total of obliterative bronchiolitis-related 29 miRNAs were found in miRNA expression profiles, including 14 miRNAs with significantly down-regulated expression and 15 miRNAs with significantly up-regulated expression. Among them, the significantly up-regulated miRNAs (miRNA-146a and miRNA-155) and the significantly down-regulated miRNA-451 were involved in immuno-inflammatory reaction. The miRNAs play an important role in regulating pathophysiological changes of obliterative bronchiolitis after lung transplantation.

Objective. To understand drug susceptibilities to common antibacterials, resistance mechanism to β-lactams and quinolones and the clonal spread of resistant stains of Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) and Haernophilus parainfluenzae (H. parainfluenzae) isolated from some hospitals in Shanghai. Methods The in vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities to 13 antibacterials, such as ampicillin, of 156 Haemophilus strains collected from 5 hospitals of Shanghai in 2006 were tested by agar dilution method. The β-lactamase production was determined by chromogenic cephalosporin test. TEM and ROB type of β-lactamase genes and quinolone resistance determining regions (QRDR) of ciprofloxacin-resistant strains were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. The homology of H. influenzae strains were analyzed by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR. Results The susceptible rate of 109 strains H. influenzae to ampicillin was 74.3%, while those to ampicillin-sulbactam, cephatosporins and fluoroquinolones were all 100.0%. The β-lactamases-producing rates of 109 strains H. influenzae and 47 strains H. parainfluenzae were 25.7% and 19.1% (χ2=0.776,P=0.378), respectively. TEM gene was detected in all β-lactamases-producing strains. Of 109 H. influenzae isolates, only one was resistant to ciprofloxacin, and Ser84Leu mutation was detected in gyrA gene and Gly206Arg mutation in parC gene. The results of ERIC-PCR showed that 106 H. influenzae strains were clustered into 73 groups with similarity level of 85%. Conclusions Clinical isolates of H. influenzae from hospitals in Shanghai remain highly susceptible to common antimicrobial agents except ampicillin. TEM type of β-lactamase production is the main ampicillin-resistant mechanism of the tested stains. The clonal spread of H. influenzae, including ampicillin-resistant strains, is not prevalent.

4-Amino dimethyl phthalate as the hapten was coupled to carrier protein and then used to immunize New Zealand rabbits. Polyclonal antibody which showed specific binding to dimethyl phthalate ( DMP) was thus obtained, and on the basis of this, an indirect competitive chemiluminescent enzyme-linked immunoassay ( icCLEIA ) was developed. The experimental parameters of icCLEIA were optimized as follows: the concentration of coating antigen was 50 μg/L, the primary antibody concentration was 92. 5 μg/L, the secondary antibody concentration was 1μg/mL, distilled water (pH 6. 0) was used as diluent solution and the competitive reaction time was 40 min. Under the optimal conditions, the icCLEIA exhibited a linear working range from 0. 74μg/L to 30. 32μg/L with the limit of detection of 0. 29μg/L. The cross-reactivity of thirteen structural analogues was lower than 5%. The recovery of DMP from spiked liquor and soy sauce samples ranged from 80 . 2% to 116 . 0% and the average RSD was less than 3 . 6%. The detection results of the spiked liquor and soy sauce samples were consistent with those by standard gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. The developed icCLEIA method exhibited a practical potential for detecting DMP residue in food samples.

Objective To evaluate the long-term results and prognostic factors in 582 nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC ) patients treated by intensity modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT ) . Methods 582 newly diagnosed NPC patients treated by IMRT in Sichuan cancer hospital from Jan. 2001 to Dec. 2004were reviewed. According to 2002UICC staging system, there were 36 stage Ⅰ , 144 stage Ⅱ , 224 stage Ⅲ, 178 stage Ⅳa. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate.Acute and late toxicities were graded according to the radiation therapy oncology group (RTOG) radiation morbidity scoring criteria. Results The follow up rate was 93.5%. The 5-year local control, regional control, distant metastasis-free survival, disease free survival, disease specific survival and overall survival rate was 89. 8%,95. 2%, 74. 1%, 69.6%, 83.2% and 77. 1%. There were 29, 13 and 117 patients who had developed local, regional and distant recurrence respectively. The incidence of grade 3 acute ( salivary gland、 oral mucosa and skin) and late toxicity was 44. 5% and 4. 2%. No grade 4 acute and late toxicity reaction was found. Multivariate analysis showed that clinical stage, N stage, radiotherapy interruption, age, HGB and weight loss were the independent prognostic factors for the overall survival. ConclusionsNPC treated with IMRT could get good long-term survival with high quality of life. The clinical stage and N stage were the main prognostic factors for the overall survival. The acute and late toxicities were mainly grade 1 and 2.Distant metastasis is the main cause of treatment failure.

Objective To investigate the relationship between correcting abnormal glucose metabolism and mortality risk of malignant tumors of digestive system. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted. 1308 patients with abnormal glucose metabolism in our hospital from January 2019 were divided into exposed group (n=777) and non-exposed group (n=531) according to the presence or absence of glucose metabolism correction therapy. The patients were retrospectively followed up until December 2022. The incidence of digestive system tumors and the influencing factors of tumors were compared between the two groups. Results There were 31 patients with digestive system tumor and 9 patients died. The incidence of digestive system tumors was lower in the exposed group (3/777) than in the non-exposed group (28/531). The mortality rate in the exposed group (1/777) was lower than that in the non-exposed group (8/531). Cox regression model analysis showed that correcting abnormal glucose metabolism was a protective factor for the risk of death from malignant tumors of the digestive system in patients (HR value<1, P<0.05) ; increased FBG, combined abnormal lipid metabolism, increased pulse pressure difference, family history of malignant tumors, and alcohol consumption were shown as risk factors for the risk of death from malignant tumors of the digestive system in patients (HR values>1, P<0.05). Conclusion Correcting abnormal glucose metabolism is of positive significance in reducing the risk of death from malignant tumors of digestive system. Patients with increased FBG, abnormal lipid metabolism, increased pulse pressure difference, family history of malignant tumors and alcohol consumption should pay special attention to correct abnormal glucose metabolism in time.
