BACKGROUND: Through exercise and/or hypoxia to increase the body's stress level and timing of hypoxia, so as to improve the body's adaptation level to exercise and/or hypoxia. However, little was known concerning the effects of acute exercise and/or hypoxia on vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) expression in skeletal muscles.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of acute exercise and/or hypoxia on VEGF expression in rats' gastrocnemius muscles. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized controlled animal experiment was performed at the Clinical Laboratory, People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province, between September 2005 and September 2006.MATERIALS: Totally 108 health male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, namely, normoxia quiet, normoxia high intensity, normoxia moderate intensity, hypoxia quiet, living high-training low high intensity and living high-training low high intensity moderated intensity groups, with 12 animals in each group.METHODS: In acute normoxia exercise models, rats were performed adaptive activity at 48 hours prior to experiment. The high intensity exercise was comprised of 50 m/minx1.5 min training with 2 minutes rest. The moderate intensity exercise was 30 m/min×30 min. Hypoxia environment was produced by using low oxygen instrument to simulate hypoxia training, with hypoxia for 3 days, 22 h/d, 12.8% altitude, with 22 ℃ temperature and 55% humidity. In acute training low-living high models, rats were placed in above hypoxia environment after high intensity Or moderate intensity exercise. Four rats were sacrificed at hours 0, 2 and 4 after training, and the gastrocnemius muscles were obtained.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expression of VEGF in rats' gastrocnemius muscles was detected by using western-blot.RESULTS: Hypoxia and acute normoxia exercise enhanced the expression of VEGF, hypoxia after exercise weakened exercise-induced VEGF expression, and the exercise with long time and common intensity induced the higher level VEGF expression. The expression of VEGF was the most at the time points of instantaneousness and 2 hour after exercise, the sorting of the recovery speed of VEGF changes from fast to slow was: hypoxia or training low-living high and normoxic exercise. CONCLUSION: The expressions of VEGF in rats' skeletal muscles induced by acute exercise and/or hypoxia belong to the effect of immediate-early, with existing intensity-threshold, which recovery speed is inversely proportional to the expression amplitude;"training low-living high" may be able to enhance the adaptation of skeletal muscles to sports.

Objective To study the bystander effects and associated mechanisms through irradiated conditioned medium(1CM). Methods Natural kilhr(NK) cells were obtained from peripheral blood samples. ICM irradiated with different doses of 60Coγ-rays was used for culturing K562 cell strain. The degree of injury of K562cells by activated NK cells was observed, as well as the apoptosis frequency of K562 cell was investigated. Results Severe injury was induced in K562 cells cultured in ICM than the control (sham-irradiated) as shown by increased sensitivity to NK cells (P < 0.05). The apoptosis frequency of K562 cell was increased significantly compared with the control cells (P < 0.05). Conclusions The bystander effect induced by irradiation is existent. ICM can trigger the bystander effect on K562 cell strains.

Objective To observe Shenling-Baizhu granule combined with saccharomyces boulardii treatment for pediatric antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD). Methods A total of 146 children with AAD were randomly divided into the control group (n=73) and the observation group (n=73). The control group received the saccharomyces boulardii, and the observation group received saccharomyces boulardii and Shenling-Baizhu granule, with a course of 5 days. The CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes were detected by flow cytometry. The stool frequency, stool frequency recovery time, and clinic effects were compared. Results The stool frequency (3.0 ± 0.4 times/d vs. 3.6 ± 0.4 times/d, t=2.624), stool frequency recovery time (3.2 ± 0.6 d vs. 4.5 ± 0.8 d, t=2.641), and recovery time (4.1 ± 0.8 d vs. 5.3 ± 1.1 d, t=2.522) in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group ( P＜0.05). After the treatment, the CD4+(38.65% ± 5.74% vs. 33.72% ± 5.23%, t=2.452), CD4+/CD8+(1.92 ± 0.38 vs. 1.45 ± 0.26, t=2.483) of the observation group was significantly higher than those of the control group, and the CD8+(20.15% ± 3.16% vs. 23.21% ± 3.44%, t=2.483) of the observation group was significantly lower than this of the control group (P＜0.05). The rate of clinic effects was 93.2% (68/73) in observation group, which was higher than 80.8% (59/73) in control group (χ2=2.446, P＜0.05). Conclusions The Shenling-Baizhu granule combined with saccharomyces boulardii could enhance the immune function in children with AAD with significant clinical efficacy.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic value of whole exome sequencing (WES) for patients with intellectual disability (ID) or global developmental delay (GDD). METHODS: 134 individuals with ID or GDD who presented at Chenzhou First People's Hospital between May 2018 and December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. WES was carried out on peripheral blood samples of the patients and their parents, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and co-segregation analysis. The pathogenicity of the variants was predicted based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). RESULTS: A total of 46 pathogenic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertion/deletion (InDel) variants, 11 pathogenic genomic copy number variants (CNVs), and 1 uniparental diploidy (UPD) were detected, which yielded an overall detection rate of 43.28% (58/134). The 46 pathogenic SNV/InDel have involved 62 mutation sites in 40 genes, among which MECP2 was the most frequent (n = 4). The 11 pathogenic CNVs have included 10 deletions and 1 duplication, which have ranged from 0.76 to 15.02 Mb. A loss of heterozygosity (LOH) region of approximately 15.62 Mb was detected in 15q11.2q12 region in a patient, which was validated as paternal UPD based on the result of trio-WES. The patient was ultimately diagnosed as Angelman syndrome. CONCLUSION WES can detect not only SNV/InDel, but also CNV and LOH. By integrating family data, WES can accurately determine the origin of the variants and provide a useful tool for uncovering the genetic etiology of patients with ID or GDD.

Objective:To systematically integrate and analyze the breast cancer screening rates among females in China and to estimate the composition of different screening service types.Methods:Based on core literature, relevant official websites, projects/survey reports, and information on breast cancer screening rates of Chinese females were extracted and analyzed, and the screening rates for 40-69 years old and 35-64 years old were standardized and compared using 2010 China's population structure. The literature review method was used to retrieve the journal literature related to the composition of breast cancer screening services types (organized screening, physical examination and opportunistic screening). The number of detected literature and the median sample size of individual screening people of the three screening service types were analyzed, and used them as weights to estimate the composition of screening service types.Results:A total of 6 related national surveys on breast cancer screening rate were identified, including 2 from the National Health Service Surveys (broader definition of "breast screening" in 2013, 2018) and 4 from the chronic disease monitoring system of China CDC (the exact definition of "breast cancer screening" in 2010, 2013 and twice in 2015). The age-standardized analysis indicated that 1-year, 2-year and 3-year breast cancer screening rates in 2015 among females in China aged 40-69 years old were 16.9%, 20.2% and 21.4%, respectively. The ever-breast cancer-screened rates were 21.1% in 2013 and 23.5% in 2015 among females aged 40-69, and the corresponding rates were 23.3% and 25.7%, respectively, among females aged 35-64. When taking the literature published in 2015 for further literature review, 130 articles were included, in which the proportions of numbers of reports on organized screening, physical examination, and opportunistic screening were 71.0%, 23.7%, and 5.3%, respectively. Along with the extracted data on median sample sizes (shown in the main text) by breast cancer screening types, it was estimated that the individual service volume of corresponding screening types accounted for 88.0%, 11.2% and 0.8% among all the screened females in China in 2015.Conclusions:The breast cancer screening rates among females of appropriate age in China in 2015 are higher than those in 2013. The literature review analysis preliminarily suggested that the current breast cancer screening service type in China is mainly organized screening service.

Objective:Based on the data of Global Burden of Disease 2019 data, to analyze the past, current, and future burden of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in China and compare with the international status.Methods:The total number of DALYs, age-standardized DALY rate, and the composition of different subgroups were extracted and described to analyze the time trend in 2000-2019 and the current situation in 2019 for Chinese female breast cancer. The burden of DALYs in 2050 was predicted by Joinpoint using average annual percent change (AAPC).Results:In 2000-2019, the ranking of DALYs caused by female breast cancer in China rose from the fourth to the second in all female cancers. The total DALYs increased by 48.4%, of which the years lived with disability increased from 4.8% to 8.8%. The age-standardized DALY rate only slightly decreased (AAPC=-0.3%; which increased during 2016-2019, AAPC=1.6%). In 2019, the age-standardized DALY rate for breast cancer in China was 278.0/100 000. The DALYs were 2.88 million (accounting for 14.2% of the global burden and 12.1% of all female cancers burden in China), 26.5% of which attributed known risk factors (overweight and obesity were the largest: 0.34 million DALYs, but some common breast cancer risk factors were not available on the platform, such as menstruation and fertility). In 2050, the prediction suggests that the total DALYs caused by female breast cancer in China will reach 3.80 million person-years-5.16 million person-years, increasing 32.1%-79.4% over 2019. From 2000 to 2019, the peak age of DALYs and DALY rate became older, and the DALYs among females aged 65 years and above increased faster than those younger than 65 years (AAPC were 4.8% and 1.3%, respectively). In 2019, females aged 45-74 (the starting age recommended by local guidelines for breast cancer screening) contributed 74.3% of the total DALYs.Conclusions:Over the past 20 years, the age-standardized DALY rate for breast cancer in female populations in China has not changed obviously. Without the continuous expansion of effective intervention and population aging, the burden of DALYs for female breast cancer in China will increase. DALYs for breast cancer attributed leading risk factors were still limited.
