Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine pretreatment on the expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A ( TFAM) and succinate dehydrogenase ( SDHA) during lung ischemia-reperfusion ( I∕R) in mice. Methods Twenty-four clean-grade healthy male C57BL∕6J mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method:sham operation group ( group S ) , lung I∕R group ( group I∕R ) and dexmedetomidine pretreatment group ( group D) . In I∕R and D groups, lung I∕R was induced by clamping the left pulmonary hilum for 60 min followed by 120-min reperfusion in anesthetized mice. The chest was only opened, but the left pulmonary hilum was not occluded in group S. Dexmedetomidine 25μg∕kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min be-fore ischemia in group D, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of dexmedetomidine in I∕R and S groups. The mice were sacrificed at 120 min of reperfusion, and lungs were removed for determi-nation of wet∕dry weight ratio ( W∕D ratio) , cell apoptosis ( by TUNEL) and expression of TFAM and SDHA mRNA in lung tissues ( by real-time polymerase chain reaction ) and for examination of the pathological changes of lung tissues. The apoptosis index was calculated. Results Compared with group S, the W∕D ratio, apoptosis index and lung injury scores were significantly increased, and the expression of TFAM and SDHA mRNA was down-regulated in I∕R and D groups ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group I∕R, the W∕D ra-tio, apoptosis index and lung injury scores were significantly decreased, and the expression of TFAM and SDHA mRNA was up-regulated in group D ( P<0. 05) . Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedeto-midine pretreatment attenuates lung I∕R injury is related to up-regulating the expression of TFAM and SDHA in mice.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for lymph node metastasis and prognosis in stage T1 and T2 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after radical surgery and construct nomogram prediction models.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinico-pathological data of 672 patients with T1 and T2 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from January 2014 to December 2019 were collected. There were 464 males and 208 females, aged (65±8)years. All patients under-went radical esophagectomy+2 or 3 field lymph node dissection. Observation indicators: (1) lymph node dissection, metastasis and follow-up. (2) risk factors for lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer after radical resection. (3) prognostic factors of esophageal cancer after radical resection. (4) construction and evaluation of the prediction models of lymph node metastasis and prognosis of esophageal cancer after radical resection. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination, telephone and internet consultations to detect survival of patients up to April 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and draw survival curve. Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Logistic regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses of risk for lymph node metastasis, and COX regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses of prognosis. Based on the results of multi-variate analysis, the nomogram prediction models for lymph node metastasis and prognosis predic-tion were constructed. The prediction discrimination of the nomogram models were evaluated using the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The calibration curve was used to evaluate the prediction consistency of the models. Results:(1) Lymph node dissection, metastasis and follow-up. The number of lymph node dissected was 14±8 and the number of lymph node metastasis was 2(range, 1?19) in 672 patients. Of the 672 patients, there were 182 cases had lymph node metastasis, including 58 cases in T1 stage and 124 cases in T2 stage. All 672 patients were followed up for 38 (range, 1?85)months. The average overall survival time of 672 patients was 65 months, with the 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate as 89.0%, 74.3%, 66.0%, respectively. The average overall survival time of 325 patients in T1 stage and 347 patients in T2 stage were 70 months and 61 months. The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate of 325 patients in T1 stage and 347 patients in T2 stage were 95.0%, 83.5%, 73.4% and 87.4%, 69.9%, 59.2%, respectively, showing a significant difference in survival between them ( χ2=14.51, P<0.05). (2) Risk factors for lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer after radical resection. Results of univariate analysis showed that tumor location, tumor histological grade, tumor T staging were related factors affecting lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer after radical resection ( odds ratio=1.40, 1.54, 2.56, 95% confidence interval as 1.07?1.85, 1.20?1.99, 1.79-3.67, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that tumor location, tumor histological grade, tumor T staging were independent factors affecting lymph node metastasis ( odds ratio=1.42, 1.61, 2.63, 95% confidence interval as 1.07?1.89, 1.25?2.09, 1.82?3.78, P<0.05). (3) Prognostic factors of esophageal cancer after radical resection. Results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative comorbidities, postoperative complications, tumor histological grade (G3), tumor T staging, tumor N staging (N1 stage, N2 stage, N3 stage), tumor TNM staging (Ⅲ stage, Ⅳ stage) were related factors affecting prognosis of esophageal cancer after radical resection ( hazard ratio= 1.48, 1.64, 2.23, 1.85, 2.09, 4.48, 4.97, 3.54, 5.53, 95% confidence interval as 1.08?2.03, 1.20?2.23, 1.47?3.39, 1.34?2.54, 1.44?3.04, 2.89?6.95, 1.57?15.73, 2.48?5.05, 1.73?17.68, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative comorbidities, G3 of tumor histological grade, T2 stage of tumor T staging, N1 stage, N2 stage, N3 stage of tumor N staging were independent risk factors affecting prognosis of esophageal cancer after radical resection ( hazard ratio=1.57, 1.89, 1.63, 1.71, 3.72, 3.90, 95% confidence interval as 1.14?2.16, 1.23?2.91, 1.17?2.26, 1.16?2.51, 2.37?5.83, 1.22?12.45, P<0.05). (4) Construction and evaluation of the prediction models of lymph node metastasis and prognosis of esophageal cancer after radical resection. Based on the results of multivariate analysis, tumor location, tumor histological grade, tumor T staging were applied to construct a nomo-gram model for lymph node metastasis prediction of esophageal cancer after radical resection, the score of tumor location, tumor histological grade, tumor T staging were 82, 100, 100, respectively, and the sum of the scores corresponding to the lymph node metastasis rate. Preoperative comor-bidity, tumor histological grade, tumor T staging, tumor N staging were applied to construct a nomo-gram model for 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate prediction of esophageal cancer after radical resection, the score of preoperative comorbidity, tumor histological grade, tumor T staging, tumor N staging were 23, 38, 27, 100, respectively, and the sum of the scores corres-ponding to the 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate. Results of ROC showed that the AUC of nomogram model for lymph node metastasis prediction after radical esophagectomy was 0.66 (95% confidence interval as 0.62?0.71, P<0.05). The AUC of nomogram model for 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate prediction after radical esophagectomy were 0.73, 0.74, 0.71 (95% confidence intervals as 0.66?0.80, 0.68?0.79, 0.65?0.78, P<0.05). Results of calibration curve showed that the predicted lymph node metastasis rate and the predicted 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate by nomogram models were consistent with the actual lymph node metastasis rate and 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rate. Conclusions:Tumor location, tumor histological grade, tumor T staging are independent factors affecting lymph node metastasis in T1 and T2 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after radical surgery and nomogram model constructed by these indicators can predict the lymph node metas-tasis rate. Preoperative comor-bidities, G3 of tumor histological grade, T2 stage of tumor T staging, N1 stage, N2 stage, N3 stage of tumor N staging are independent risk factors affecting prognosis and nomogram model constructed by these indicators can predict the overall survival rate of patients after surgery.

The clinicopathological data of 1 650 patients with colon cancer of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ who were admitted to 7 hospitals in China from January 2016 to December 2017 were collected. There were 963 males and 687 females, aged 62(53,71)years. Patients were classified as 230 cases of MMR deficiency (dMMR) and 1 420 cases of MMR proficiency (pMMR) based on their MMR protein status. Observation indicators: (1) comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between patients of different MMR protein status; (2) analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of dMMR; (3) analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of pMMR; (4) interaction analysis of MMR and adverse clinicopathological features on survival outcomes. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The random forest interpolation method was used for missing values in data interpolation. Univariate analysis was conducted using the COX proportional risk regression model, and multivariate analysis was conducted using the COX stepwise regression with forward method. The coefficient of multiplication interaction effect was obtained using the interaction term coefficient of COX proportional risk regression model. Evaluation of additive interaction effects was conducted using the relative excess risk due to interaction ( RERI). Results:(1) Comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between patients of different MMR protein status. There were significant differences in age, T staging, the number of lymph node harvest, the number of lymph node harvest <12, high grade tumor between patients of dMMR and pMMR ( P<0.05). (2) Analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of dMMR. Results of multivariate analysis showed that T staging, N staging, the number of lymph node harvest <12 were independent factors affecting the disease-free survival (DFS) of colon cancer patients of dMMR ( hazard ratio=3.548, 2.589, 6.702, 95% confidence interval as 1.460-8.620, 1.064-6.301, 1.886-23.813, P<0.05). Age and N staging were independent factors affecting the overall survival (OS) of colon cancer patients of dMMR ( hazard ratio=1.073, 10.684, 95% confidence interval as 1.021-1.126, 2.311-49.404, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of pMMR. Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, T staging, N staging, vascular tumor thrombus were independent factors affecting the DFS of colon cancer patients of pMMR ( hazard ratio=1.018, 2.214, 2.598, 1.549, 95% confidence interval as 1.006-1.030, 1.618-3.030, 1.921-3.513, 1.118-2.147, P<0.05). Age, T staging, N staging, high grade tumor were independent factors affecting the OS of colon cancer patients of pMMR ( hazard ratio=1.036, 2.080, 2.591, 1.615, 95% confidence interval as 1.020-1.052, 1.407-3.075, 1.791-3.748, 1.114-2.341, P<0.05). (4) Interaction analysis of MMR and adverse clinicopathological features on survival outcomes. Results of interaction analysis showed that the multiplication interaction effect between the number of lymph node harvest <12 and MMR protein status was significant on DFS of colon cancer patients ( hazard ratio=3.923, 95% confidence interval as 1.057-14.555, P<0.05). The additive interaction effects between age and MMR protein status, between high grade tumor and MMR protein status were significant on OS of colon cancer patients ( RERI=-0.033, -1.304, 95% confidence interval as -0.049 to -0.018, -2.462 to -0.146). Conclusions:There is an interaction between the MMR protein status and the adverse clinicopathological features (the number of lymph node harvest <12, high grade tumor) on prognosis of colon cancer patients of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ. In patients of dMMR, the number of lymph node harvest <12 has a stronger predictive effect on poor prognosis. In patients of pMMR, the high grade tumor has a stronger predictive effect on poor prognosis.

【Objective】 To study the yielding rate and distribution of unexpected antibodies in blood transfusion children with thalassemia in Yunnan province, and to explore the blood transfusion strategies. 【Methods】 From January 2016 to December 2021, 298 children with thalassemia, who received blood transfusion treatment in Kunming, Xishuangbanna, Wenshan, Dehong, Yuxi and Baoshan hospitals across Yunnan Province, were selected. The unexpected antibodies of blood plasma were screened by microcolumn gel card. The samples with positive antibodies were identified for alloantibody specificity. 【Results】 Unexpected antibodies were yielded in 67 out of 298(22.48%) transfused children with thalassemia. The positive rates of unexpected antibodies in boys and girls were 16.55%(24/145) and 28.10%(43/153), respectively. The positive rates of unexpected antibodies in Han, Dai, Zhuang, Yi, Bulang, Jinuo and Miao people were 14.06%(18/128), 30.80%(32/104), 35.71%(10/28), 36.36%(8/22), 50.00%(4/8), 60.00%(3/5)and 66.67%(2/3), respectively, with statistically significant differences between each other. The positive rate of unexpected antibodies in ethnic minorities was higher than that in Han. The positive rates of unexpected antibodies in children who received the first transfusion at birth-one year old, 1~3 years old, 3~6 years old and above 6 years old were 12.50%(3/24), 10.14%(7/69), 24.54%(40/163)and 40.48%(17/42), respectively. The positive rates of unexpected antibodies in children with first transfusion after 3 years old were significantly higher than those before 3 years old. The positive rates of unexpected antibodies in children with one transfusion, 1~3, 3~10, 10~20 and more than 20 transfusions were 4.76%(1/21), 12.07%(7/58), 23.71%(23/97), 28.16%(29/103)and 36.84%(7/19), respectively, with statistically significant differences between each other. The number of blood transfusions was positively correlated with the unexpected antibody yielding. The yielding rate of unexpected antibodies in children with α thalassemia, βthalassemia, δ+ βthalassemia and untyped thalassemia was 7.50%(3/40), 17.62%(34/193), 53.70%(29/54)and 9.09%(1/11), respectively(P<0.05). The yielding rate of unexpected antibodies in transfused children with δ+ βthalassemia was the highest. And 57 unexpected antibodies of Rh blood group system were yielded, 6 anti-M antibodies, 2 anti-N antibodies and 2 undetermined. 【Conclusion】 The positive rate of unexpected antibodies in transfused children with thalassemia in Yunnan province is high. Routine antibody screening should be carried out for transfusion children with thalassemia, and blood units, compatible with ABO, Rh and MNS typing results, should be selected to ensure the safety and effectiveness of clinical blood use.

Artemisia annua is the main natural source of artemisinin production. In A. annua, extended drought stress severely reduces its biomass and artemisinin production while short-term water-withholding or abscisic acid (ABA) treatment can increase artemisinin biosynthesis. ABA-responsive transcription factor AabZIP1 and JA signaling AaMYC2 have been shown in separate studies to promote artemisinin production by targeting several artemisinin biosynthesis genes. Here, we found AabZIP1 promote the expression of multiple artemisinin biosynthesis genes including AaDBR2 and AaALDH1, which AabZIP1 does not directly activate. Subsequently, it was found that AabZIP1 up-regulates AaMYC2 expression through direct binding to its promoter, and that AaMYC2 binds to the promoter of AaALDH1 to activate its transcription. In addition, AabZIP1 directly transactivates wax biosynthesis genes AaCER1 and AaCYP86A1. The biosynthesis of artemisinin and cuticular wax and the tolerance of drought stress were significantly increased by AabZIP1 overexpression, whereas they were significantly decreased in RNAi-AabZIP1 plants. Collectively, we have uncovered the AabZIP1-AaMYC2 transcriptional module as a point of cross-talk between ABA and JA signaling in artemisinin biosynthesis, which may have general implications. We have also identified AabZIP1 as a promising candidate gene for the development of A. annua plants with high artemisinin content and drought tolerance in metabolic engineering breeding.
