Aim To investigate the effect of DHA on NGF-induced neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells and explore the possible mechanism via regulating BMP pathway. Methods PC12 cells were treated with 100μg·L-1 NGF and 100 μg·L-1 NGF + 10 μmol· L-1 DHA for 3, 6 and 9 days respectively. The length and number of neurite were detected by immunofluores-cenc. DHA content was analyzed by gas chromatogra-phy in all groups. The protein expression of BMP4, BMP7 , BMPR-II and p-Smad 1/5/8 was determined by Western blot. Results The length of total primary neurite in NGF+DHA groups was obviously increased, longer than that in NGF group; DHA content in 10μmol · L-1 DHA group was higher than that in the control group;NGF+DHA groups also unregulated the protein expression of BMP4 , BMP7 , BMPR-II and p-Smad 1/5/8 . Conclusion DHA promotes NGF-in-duced neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells, which may be associated with the upregulation of BMP path-way protein.

Objective To explore the causes,management and prevention of major blood vessel injury during urological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Six cases of major blood vessel injuries happened in 1700 laparoscopic surgeries from January 2007 to July 2011.All of the cases were males.Patient age was (53 ± 14) years.There were 4 extraperitoneal and 2 transperitoneal procedures including 3 adrenalectomies,1 radical cystectomy,1 radical prostatectomy and 1 radical nephrectomy.There were lacerations in 3 cases of vena cava,2 cases of external iliac vein and one case of renal vein.The length of laceration was (0.68 ±0.29) cm and blood lost was (114 ++ 79) ml.Results Five of the patients were managed with laparoscopic techniques by suction compressing bleeding sites,dissecting related vessels,adding extra trocar and repairing laceration by suturing in four cases and clipping bleeding site in one case.The bleeding control management lasted (21.0 ± 5.6) min.One laparoscopic adrenalectomty for the treatment of pheochromocytoma converted to open surgery because of increasing blood pressure.All the patients were followed up for (4 ± 2) months.No more related complication occurred.Conclusions Lymph node dissection,local adhesion and energy source are the main causes for blood vascular injuries.This kind of injuries may occur at any stages during a laparoscopic surgery and laparoscopic repairing is safe and feasible.

Objective:To evaluate the best parameter of predicting the operation time and clearance of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy through comparing correlations between three stone burden parameters (diameter, area, volume) and the operation time or clearance retrospectively.Methods:Clinical data and CT images of 70 patients who performed flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy because of single kidney stone in our center from January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 46 males and 24 females; their age was (47±12) years old. Stones were located on the left side in 28 cases and right side in 42 cases; 32 cases in the renal pelvis , 29 cases in the lower calyx, 6 cases in the middle calyx and 3 cases in the upper calyx. The free software ITK-SNAP 3.6.0 to segment kidney stones in 3D models with the CT image was used. The stone volume was calculated automatically after the segment. The largest section of the stone on the CT coronal plane was selected to measure the maximum length (D) and width (d) of the stone, the maximum diameter of the stone was D, and the stone area was calculated using the formula 0.25πDd. The patients were divided by the operation clearance into total clearance group and partial clearance group. The correlations between three stone burden parameters (volume, diameter, area) and operation time or clearance of the flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy were compared. Simple linear regression model was also applied to compare three measurement methods. Then other factors which may affect the operation time was evaluated with the stepwise linear regression model, such as stone component and location.Results:The median operation time was 63(50, 84)min. Of 70 cases, 47 cases were in the stone-free group, with stone volume 633(248, 1 087)mm 3, maximum diameter 15(10, 19)mm, and area 82(49, 186)mm 2. 23 cases were in the non stone-free group, with volume 696(408, 1 418)mm 3, maximum diameter 15(12, 20)mm, area 105(73, 201)mm 2. There was no difference between the two groups in volume, maximum diameter and area of stones (all P>0.05). The stone-free rate of the diameter >2 cm group was 55% (6/11), ≤2 cm group was 70% (41/59). There was no significant difference between the two groups. Correlation between stone volume and operation time is the best. The correlation coefficient of stone volume is 0.58, of stone diameter is 0.33, of stone area is 0.34. Coefficients of determination of the stone volume linear regression is the best, too. R square of stone volume is 0.36, of stone diameter is 0.17, of stone area is 0.22. Forward stepwise regression model shows stone volume is the most important parameter which correlate with operation time. None of stone volume, diameter or area has significant correlation with the clearance of stone. Conclusion:Stone volume is the best predictive parameter of the stone burden because it has the best correlation with the operation time of the flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy of the single kidney stone.

Aim To study the effects of Dicliptera chinensis polysaccharide(DCP)on alcoholic fatty liver disease(AFLD)in rats based on anti-inflammation and antioxidation.Methods 60 rats were randomly divid-ed into six groups:control group,model group,silybin group and DCP of high,medium and low dose groups. The control group was fed with normal diet, other groups were fed with high sugar and high fat diet,and given 5% alcohol 5 mL·kg-1 by gavage.The alcohol consistency increased 5%every week until AFLD mod-els in rats were made after 7 weeks.Except control group,other groups were fed with high sugar and high fat diet,and given 35% alcohol 5 mL · kg-1 and DCP.All rats were killed after five weeks,and blood and liver tissues were collected.The activity of alanine aminotransaminase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST ), alkaline phosphatase (AKP ), triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC ),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and high-density lipoprotein cho-lesterol(HDL-C)in serum were detected by using bio-chemical method. The contents of malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD),reduced gluta-thione(GSH)in liver tissues were detected.The con-tents of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6 )and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1 ) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent as-say(ELISA)in liver tissues.The liver tissues were ob-tained and histologic analysis was done through HE. Results DCP reduced the activity or content of ALT, AST,AKP,TG,TC,LDL-C,HDL-C,TNF-α,IL-6, TGF-β1 in serum and liver tissues of rats(P<0.05 ), and increased the activity or content of HDL-C,SOD and GSH (P<0.05 ).DCP could remarkably inhibit the NF-κB expression in liver tissues(P<0.01 ).The pathological examination indicated that DCP could ob-viously alleviate the inflammation and fat denaturation of the liver cells.Conclusion DCP can inhibit the de-velopment of AFLD.The mechanism may be related to antioxidation,free radical scavenging, inhibition of lipidperoxidation,anti-inflammation,and inhibition of the TGF-β1 and NF-κB expression.

Objective:To analyze the impact and diagnostic value of apoB/apoA1 on lupus nephritis (LN) and its renal dysfunction.Methods:A total of 134 patients diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at the Taihe Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2019 to January 2023 were selected and divided into LN group ( n=82) and simple SLE group ( n=52). According to the glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR), LN was divided into a group with normal renal function ( n=42) and a group with renal insufficiency ( n=40). We compared the differences in clinical data between different groups and analyzed the diagnostic value of apoB, apoA1, and apoB/apoA1 for LN and its renal insufficiency. Results:The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that apoB/apoA1, SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI), anti double stranded DNA (dsDNA), complement 3 (C3), and albumin (ALB) were independent influencing factors for LN ( OR=4.033, 1.179, 3.148, 0.374, 0.879, all P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of apoB, apoA1, and apoB/apoA1 for diagnosing LN were 0.623, 0.662, and 0.742, respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of apoB/apoA1 was higher than that of apoB and apoA1, and the differences are statistically significant (all P<0.05). Regardless of whether confounding factors were adjusted or not, apoB/apoA1 were all risk factors for LN with e-GFR>60 ml/(min·1.73 m 2), e-GFR 30-60 ml/(min·1.73 m 2), and e-GFR<30 ml/(min·1.73 m 2) (all P<0.05). ApoB/apoA1, anti dsDNA, C3, and ALB were all independent influencing factors for renal insufficiency LN ( OR=3.778, 2.669, 0.415, 0.884, all P<0.05). The AUC for diagnosing renal insufficiency LN in apoB, apoA1, and apoB/apoA1 were 0.623, 0.640, and 0.730, respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of apoB/apoA1 was higher than that of apoB and apoA1, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:ApoB/apoA1 is an independent influencing factor for the occurrence of LN and renal insufficiency LN, and has good diagnostic value for LN and renal insufficiency LN.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of neuroendoscopic hematoma removal versus soft channel drainage in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma. Methods:The clinical data of 102 patients with chronic subdural hematoma who received treatment in Jincheng People's Hospital from May 2018 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into the neuroendoscopy group ( n = 50) and the soft channel group ( n = 52) according to different surgical methods. Perioperative indexes, hematoma clearance rate, China Stroke Scale score, the activity of daily living score, and oxidative stress indexes were compared between the two groups. All patients were followed up for 3 months. The incidence of complications during the follow-up period was calculated. Results:The retention time of the drainage tube in the neuroendoscopy group was shorter than that in the soft channel group [(2.45 ± 0.63) days vs. (3.30 ± 0.78) days, t = 6.06, P < 0.001]. The length of hospital stay in the neuroendoscopy group was shorter than that in the soft channel group [(7.14 ± 1.65) days vs. (9.07 ± 2.11) days, t = 5.15, P < 0.001]. The hematoma clearance rate at postoperative 7 days in the neuroendoscopy group was higher than that in the soft channel group [(93.45 ± 5.50)% vs. (81.86 ± 7.24)%, χ2 = 9.12, P < 0.001]. There were no significant differences in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (both P > 0.05). At postoperative 30 days, the China Stroke Scale score in the neuroendoscopy group was lower than that in the soft channel group [(12.74 ± 2.23) points vs. (18.67 ± 2.45) points, t = 12.79, P < 0.001]. The activity of daily life score in the neuroendoscopy group was significantly higher than that in the soft channel group [(77.69 ± 7.11) points vs. (91.35 ± 7.25) points, t = 9.60, P < 0.001]. At postoperative 7 days, glutathione peroxidase level in the neuroendoscopy group was significantly lower than that in the soft channel group [(130.75 ± 13.66) U/L vs. (148.60 ± 14.64) U/L, t = 6.37, P < 0.001]. Malondialdehyde level in the neuroendoscopy group was significantly lower than that in the soft channel group [(5.11 ± 0.65) nmol/L vs. (6.19 ± 0.74) nmol/L, t = 7.83, P < 0.001]. Superoxide dismutase level in the neuroendoscopy group was significantly higher than that in the soft channel group [(275.60 ± 22.33) U/L vs. (254.60 ± 18.55) U/L, t = 5.15, P < 0.001]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Compared with soft channel drainage, neuroendoscopic hematoma removal can obtain better short-term curative effects and less oxidative stress response in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma. Neuroendoscopic hematoma removal does not increase the incidence of postoperative complications and is highly safe.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of serum miR-210and miR-375in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods A total of 25NSCLC patients (NSCLC group) and 14healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled in this study.The relative expression levels of 9miRNAs (miR-182, miR-126, miR-31, miR-21, miR-221, miR-200b, miR-183, miR-210and miR-375) in 6 NSCLC patients and 6healthy volunteers were measured by RT-qPCR.The dysregulated miRNAs will be selected as candidate miR-NAs.The diagnostic value were evaluated by ROC curve.Results Compared with control group, 2 (miR-210and miR-375) out of 9miRNAs were up-regulated in NSCLC group, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05), while the other 7miRNAs were not consistent with the reported literatures.Therefore, miR-210and miR-375were selected as candidate miRNAs.We found that the relative expression level of miR-210in the lung adenocarcinoma group was significantly different from control group (P＜0.05), while there was no significant difference between the squamous cell carcinoma group and the control group (P＞0.05).There was no significantly statistical difference in the relative expression level of miR-375between lung squamous cell carcinoma group, lung adenocarcinoma group and the control group (P＞0.05).The AUC of serum miR-210of lung adenocarcinoma group was 0.737 5 (95％CI:0.498 3-0.976 7, P=0.091 4) with a medium diagnostic value.Conclusion MiR-210is highly expressed in the serum of patients with lung adenocarcinoma, suggesting that miR-210may be a novel tumor marker for the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma.The value of miR-375in the diagnosis of lung cancer still needs to be further explored.
