Objective In order to investigate the effect of SH2B1 on leptin signal transduction JAK2/IRS2 and its biological function.Methods Vitro kinase assay and Western blot were used to analyse tyrosine phosphorylatin of key molecule JAK2 and insulin receptor substrate-2 (IRS2). ELISA was used to measure the plasma leptin levels in mice. The postnatal growth of mice was monitored over 27 weeks. Results SH2B1 dramatically enhanced the leptin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of JAK2 and IRS2 in HEK293 cells stably expressing LRb (HEK239~(LRb)). Leptin-stimulated activation of hypothalamic JAK2 and phosphorylation of hyphothalamic IRS2 were significantly impaired in SH2B1~(-/-) mice. The deletion of SH2B1 led to leptin resistance,and fasting and randomly fed plasma leptin levels were respectively 3.2 times and 5.1 times higher in SH2B1~(-/-) males than wild-type littermates at 15 weeks of age. SH2B1~(-/-) males gained body weight rapidly and exceeded wild-type littermates from 5~(th) week. SH2B1(-/-) (at 21 weeks) was approximately twice heavier than wild-type littermates.Conclusion SH2B1 is an endogenous enhancer of leptin sensitivity and required for maintaining normal bodyweight in mice via leptin JAK2/IRS2 pathway.

Objective To analyze the expression profile of circular RNA (circRNA) in LPS-treated murine peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) and to investigate the effects of mmu_circ_0000790 (circ790) on the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in MPMs following LPS stimulation.Methods MPMs were isolated from C57BL/6 male mice and then stimulated with (LPS treatment group) or without (blank control group) 1 mg/L of LPS for 12 hours.Supernatants of cell culture and cell pellets were collected from each group.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the changes in the secretion of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in the supernatants.Expression profile of circRNA in macrophages from the two groups (n=3) was analyze by circRNA microarray.Some differentially expressed circRNAs were validated by real-time PCR (RT-PCR).Moreover,RT-PCR was also performed to detect the expression of circ790 in MPMs after LPS stimulation.Small interfering RNA (siRNA) oligo specific for circ790 was designed and synthesized.Then the synthesized siRNA oligo and normal control (NC) oligo were transfected into MPMs by LipofectamineTM2000.The transfected MPMs were treated with LPS.ELISA was used to detect the levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in the supernatants.Arraystar's home-made microRNA target prediction software was used to predict circ790/microRNA.Results The concentrations of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in the LPS treatment group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group (P<0.01).These results indicated that the inflammatory model of MPMs was successfully constructed.Statistical differences in 34 differentially expressed circRNAs were found between the two groups (P<0.05).Among them,12 circRNAs were up-regulated and the other 22 circRNAs were down-regulated in the LPS treatment group.RT-PCR results were generally consistent with the microarray data.The expression of circ790 was increased by (1.94±0.15),(3.18±0.13) and (4.21±0.22) folds as compared with that of the blank control group at 3,6 and 12 h after LPS stimulation (P<0.05).After transfecting the MPMs with circ790-siRNA,the secretion of IL-6 was significantly decreased (P<0.05) without notable influence on the secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α.circ790 could function as a microRNA sponge to regulate the gene expression.Conclusion These data show a significantly altered circRNA expression profile in the LPS-treated MPMs.circ790 may be involved in the regulation of IL-6 secreted by macrophages.

The magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers ( MMIPs ) was synthesiZed by suspension polymers technique using ornidaZole ( ONZ) as template, and methacrylic acid ( MAA) and acrylamide ( AA) as the binary functional monomers.The MMIPs were characteriZed by means of scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) , Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( FT-IR ) , vibrating sample magnetometer ( VSM ) , thermogravimetric analysis ( TGA) and ultraviolet-visible ( UV-Vis) spectrophotometer.The results indicated that the adsorption capacity of MMIPs using the binary functional monomers to ONZ was higher than that using single functional monomer or that of its structural analogues.The Scatchard plot revealed that the template polymer system had a two-site binding behavior and the MMIPs exhibited the maximum rebinding to ONZ at 48.96 μmol/g and 10.60 μmol/g.Combined with high performance liquid chromatographic analysis technology, the prepared MMIPs were successfully applied to extract and enrich trace nitroimidaZoles from river water samples with recoveries range of 85.4%-104.3%.The precision of the results was good, and the manipulation of the developed method was simple and fast comparing to other methods.

OBJECTIVE: Hypermethylation of human papillomavirus (HPV) and host genes has been reported in cervical cancer. However, the degree of methylation of different HPV types relative to the severity of the cervical lesions remains controversial. Studies of the degree of methylation associated with the host gene and the HPV genome to the severity of cervical lesions are rare. We examined the association of methylation status between host genes and late gene 1 (L1) regions of HPV16, 18, 52, and 58 in cervical brushings. METHODS: Cervical brushings from 147 HPV-infected patients were obtained. The samples comprised normal (n=28), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1 (n=45), CIN2 (n=13), and CIN3/carcinoma in situ (n=61). The methylation status of HPV and host genes was measured using bisulfite pyrosequencing and quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: The degree of methylation of L1 in HPV16, 18, and 52 was associated with the severity of the cervical lesion. In HPV52, C-phosphate-G (CpG) sites 6368m, 6405m, and 6443m showed significantly higher methylation in lesions ≥CIN3 (p=0.005, 0.003, and 0.026, respectively). Methylation of most HPV types except HPV52 (r<−0.1) was positively correlated with the degree of methylation of host genes including PAX1 and SOX1 (0.4≤r≤0.7). Combining HPV methylation with PAX1 methylation improved the clustering for ≥CIN2. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the degree of L1 methylation of HPV16, 18, and 52 but not 58 is associated with the severity of cervical lesions. The association between HPV methylation and host gene methylation suggests different responses of host cellular epigenetic machinery to different HPV genotypes.

Organ shortage is one of the important factors restricting the development of human organ transplantation. The identification and referral of potential donors determine the total scale of organ donation. Whether potential donors can be identified and referred is the most important reason for the difference of organ donation rates in different regions. This paper interprets the chapter of the identification and referral of potential donors in the Guide to the Quality and Safety of Organs for Transplantation (6th edition) issued by European Union in order to provide reference for the staff of organ procurement organization and related medical personnel in China and improve the organ donation rate in China.

Objective By analyzing the perioperative management in our hospital to explore the clinical effect and safety of single kidney transplantation from deceased juveniles' donors.Methods We retrospectively analyze 86 cases of kidney transplantations from deceased juveniles' donors in our hospital from 2007 December to 2015 August.Results The success rate of the operations was 100％.The postoperative complications occurred as fellows:7 cases of acute rejection (8.14％);10 cases of drug intoxication (11.62％);21 cases of DGF (24.44％),4 cases of leakage of urine (4.65％),7 cases of lung infection (8.14％).Two cases (2.32％) died after the operation because of serious lung infection,and by corresponding treatment 47 cases recovered after 2-4 weeks.The creatinine level in 37 cases without any complications was 131.88 ± 44.20 μmol/L during discharge.Conclusion With strict selection,the organ from a deceased juvenile donor is safe and practicable.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of the maintenance for the liver and kidney function by extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in brain death donor with severe hemodynamic instability.Methods Ninety-nine brain death donors maintained by ECMO were followed up.The criteria for using the ECMO to protect the organ function were as follow:cardiopulmonary resuscitation history (cardiac compression ＞ 20 min);mean arterial pressure (MAP),for Adult ＜60-70 mmHg,for child ＜50-60 mmHg,and for infant ＜40-50 mmHg;cardiac index ＜2 L/(m2 ·min) (3 h);Large doses of vasoactive drugs,for doparnine 20μg/(kg·min),for (norepinephrine) epinephrine 1.0 μg/(kg· min) (3 h),and for oliguria ＜0.5 mL/(kg · h);blood biochemical indexes,moderate,severe impairment on acute hepatic and renal function;others,ST-T significant changes in electrocardiogram,and difficult to correct the metabolic acidosis (3 h).The organs were evaluated during their retrieval and as well their evolution after transplantation was evaluated.Results ECMO allowed for the maintenance of hemodynamic stability before organ procurement.A total of 99 cases receiving ECMO maintenance were collected,equal to100 ％ of the total donation cases (100％).198 kidneys,and 99 livers were procured from these donors meanwhile 15 kidneys and 42 livers respectively were discarded as theywere shown in a macroscopic evaluation.177 of the procured kidneys were transplanted.DGF of kidney transplantation was observed in 20.9％of the cases.Acute rejection incidence was 12.99％.Transplanted kidneys and recipient survival rate was 96.1％/99.3％ for one year,94.7％/97.8％ for 3 years,and 93.6/97.8％ for 4 years,respectively.There was no significant difference in patient or graft survival between the group with ECMO and the group without ECMO.Conclusion ECMO in the brain dead donors with severe circulatory dysfunction allows to avoid organ donors loss and obtain good quality kidneys and livers with excellent graft survival after transplantation.

AIM: To investigate the effect of peripheral defocus spectacles and orthokeratology lenses on the control of axial length in children and adolescents with myopia.METHODS: Prospective study. A total of 71 cases(134 eyes)of children and adolescents with myopia who visited the Second Hospital of Longyan from June 2019 to June 2021 were selected. They were fitted with peripheral defocus spectacles for 12mo and then switched to orthokeratology lenses. The growth of axial length was observed at 3, 6, and 12mo after wearing peripheral defocus spectacles and orthokeratology lenses.RESULTS: The median axial length growth after wearing peripheral defocus spectacles and orthokeratology lenses for 12mo was 0.35 and 0.14mm, respectively. The axial growth at 3, 6, and 12mo after wearing orthokeratology lenses was lower than those after wearing peripheral defocus spectacles(P<0.001), and the growth rate of axial length was significantly reduced. The patients were divided into a rapid progression group(axial growth ≥0.4 mm, 29 cases, 54 eyes)and a non-rapid progression group(axial growth <0.4mm, 42 cases, 80 eyes)according to the axial growth of peripheral defocus spectacles for 12mo. The median axial growth after wearing peripheral defocus spectacles for 12mo in the two groups was 0.70 and 0.24mm, respectively, while the median axial growth after wearing orthokeratology lenses was 0.31 and 0.09mm, respectively. The growth rate was reduced by 56% and 63% respectively in the two groups after wearing orthokeratology lens. The axial growth of cases wearing orthokeratology lenses for 12mo in the non-rapid progression group was lower than that in the rapid progression group, and it did not change with age or diopter. There was no significant difference among different ages and different diopters in the rapid progression group(P>0.05). In the non-rapid progression group, axial growth of cases aged 7-12 years was higher than those aged 13-16 years(P<0.05), but there was no significant difference among different diopters(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Orthokeratology lens is more effective than peripheral defocus spectacles in controlling axial growth in children and adolescents with myopia, and the control effect of orthokeratology lens on rapid-progressing myopia is remarkable.

Diemailing~® Kudiezi Injection( DKI) is widely used in the treatment of cerebral infarction,coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. Long-term clinical application and related research evidence showed that DKI has a good effect in improving the clinical symptoms of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However,this injection has not been included in any clinical practice guideline. It has been found that the use of DKI is in wrong way in clinical practice in recent years. Therefore,clinical experts from the field of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases nationwide are invited to compile this expert consensus in order to guide clinicians.GRADE system is used to grade the quality of evidence according to different outcomes according to degrading factors. Then it forms the recommendation or consensus suggestion through the nominal group method. The formation of expert consensus mainly considers six factors: quality of evidence,economy,efficacy,adverse reactions,patient acceptability and others. Based on these six aspects,if the evidence is sufficient,a " recommendation" supported by evidence is formed,and GRADE grid voting rule is adopted. If the evidence is insufficient,a " consensus suggestions" will be formed,using the majority voting rule. In this consensus,the clinical indications,efficacy,safety evidences and related preliminary data of DKI were systematically and comprehensively summarized in a concise and clear format,which could provide valuable reference for the clinical use of DKI. This consensus has been approved by China association of Chinese medicine which is numbered GS/CACM 202-2019.
