Drug-induced liver injury(DILI) is one of the major causes of termination of drug development.The establishment of a high-throughput test system to predict potential clinical hepatotoxicity is a valuable approach in the pharmaceutical industry.The high-content imaging-based in vitro assays allow simultaneous detection of cellular multiple parameters in the system.The real-time monitoring of multiple signaling pathways can shed light on many mechanisms of cell injury,with high sensitivity and specificity.Many types of liver cell models have been applied to high-content screening(HCS) so far.This paper introduceds the HCS technology and reviews the data of hepatotoxicity obtained from HCS technology in recent years.At the same time,we discuss the application of this technology in exploring the mechanism of hepatotoxicity and the potential of HCS technology in studying DILI and mechanisms.

AIM To study the protective effects of prostaglandin E 1 on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in cultured neonatal rat myocytes. METHODS The hypoxia/reoxygenation injury model of cultured neonatal rat myocardial cells was developed. The activities of plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured by the method of xanthine oxidase and the contents of serum malonicaldehyde (MDA) were determined by the method of thiobarbituric acid. The activities of dehydrogenase in mitochondria were detected by MTT assay. The activities of LDH in culture were also evaluated. CONCLUSION PGE 1 has protective effects on the cultured neonatal rat myocardial cells injured by hypoxia/reoxygenation. The mechanisms are related to its antioxidation effects.

Objective:To explore the changes of cerebral blood flow (CBF) perfusion caused by N 2O (laughing gas) abuse. Methods:From December 2017 to October 2018, the CBF perfusion images of 24 patients with laughing gas abuse (9 males, 15 females; age: 18-32(24.0±8.9) years) from China-Japan Friendship Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The region uptake statistics of different brain regions of interest (ROI) (basal ganglia, central region, cerebellum, cingulate gyrus, frontal lobe, medial temporal lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe) between patients with laughing gas abuse and normal people of the same age group from background software database were calculated automatically. Statistic>1.68 indicated the increase of local CBF perfusion, while statistic < -1.68 indicated the decrease of local CBF perfusion. The correlation between the statistics of bilateral brain regions and the correlation between statistical values and clinical indicators were analyzed by Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses.Results:The correlation of the statistics between bilateral regions of each brain area was significant( r values: 0.503-0.892, all P<0.05). The decreased CBF proportions of frontal and temporal lobes were 62.5%(15/24) and 70.8%(17/24), respectively. The highest proportion of increased CBF was cingulate gyrus (33.3%, 8/24). There were significant correlations between frontal lobe, central brain area and duration of laughing gas abuse ( rs values: 0.375, 0.305, both P<0.05). Conclusion:CBF perfusion imaging is helpful for understanding the changes of CBF in patients with laughing gas abuse.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of unrelated donor (URD) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA),and the difference between URD allo-HSCT and matched sibling donor (MSD) allo-HSCT.Methods According to the source of donors,the SAA patients subject to allo-HSCT were divided into MSD allo-HSCT group (MSD group) and URD allo-HSCT group (URD group) from October 2001 to December 2016 in Henan Cancer Hospital.The efficacy and transplantation related complications were compared between two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences in hematopoietic reconstitution and graft rejection between two groups.The incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD and chronic GVHD was higher in the URD group than in the MSD group (30.76％ vs.8.57％,P =0.026;26.92％ vs.5.71％,P =0.021).However,other transplant-related complications including pulmonary complications and hemorrhagic cystitis,incidence of EBV and CMV reactivation and venous occlusive disease showed no significant difference between two groups.The estimated 5-year over survival was (73.6 ± 8.7) ％ in the MSD group and (72.7 ± 9.5) ％ in the URD group (P =0.878).There was no significant difference in 5-year disease-free survival between two groups (73.6 ± 8.7％ vs.70.3 ± 10.2,P =0.668).Conclusion URD-HSCT is a novel treatment approach and could be considered as first-line therapy in selected patients without MSD.

Objective: To explore the expression of SLAMF6 on CD8⁺ T cells in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and its correlation with disease immune status. Methods: By flow cytometry (FCM), SLAMF6 expression level in peripheral blood CD8⁺ T cells was detected in 21 patients with SAA and 15 normal controls respectively from February 2017 to April 2018. The correlation between SLAMF6 expression level and hematopoietic functions, including HGB, PLT, the neutrophil granulocyte and reticulocyte absolute value in peripheral blood, hyperplasia degree (percentage of granulocytes, erythrocytes, lymphocytes and megakaryocytes in bone marrow) and perforin, granzyme B, IFN-γ expression level in CD8⁺ T cells were evaluated. To further confirm the effect of SLAMF6 on CD8⁺ T cells, anti-SLAMF6 Ab was used to block SLAMF6 pathway (IgG as control), and FCM was used to detect the perforin, granzyme B, and IFN-γ production of CD8⁺ T cells. Results: The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8⁺ T cells in untreated SAA patients[(56.29±12.97)%]was significantly lower than that of normal controls[(80.96±7.36)%](t=-7.672, P<0.001). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8⁺ T cells in SAA patients were positively correlated with the HGB, PLT, the neutrophil granulocyte and reticulocyte absolute value in peripheral blood, percentage of granulocytes, erythrocytes in bone marrow (all P<0.05), but they were negatively correlated with the percentage of lymphocytes in bone marrow, and the expression of perforin, granzyme B, and IFN-γ of CD8⁺ T cells (all P<0.05). After blocking SLAMF6 pathway by anti-SLAMF6 Ab, the expression levels of perforin, granzyme B and IFN-γ in SAA patients were significantly higher than those in the untreated group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions SLAMF6 is significantly down-regulated on CD8⁺ T cells in SAA patients, which may act as a negative immunoregulatory molecule participating in the mechanism of SAA by affecting the functional molecules secretion on CD8⁺ T cells.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of 18F-FDG PET-CT in the conversion from thoracoscopic lobectomy to thoracotomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:The clinical data, CT and PET-CT images of 193 patients with primary NSCLC undergoing thoracoscopic surgery from January 2014 to June 2021 at China-Japan Friendship Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into 45 cases who were converted to thoracotomy (the conversional group) and 148 cases who were not converted to thoracotomy (the non-conversional group). Univariate analysis was performed on clinicopathological characteristics and image parameters. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the conversion to thoracotomy. Taking the final conversion to thoracotomy or not as the gold standard, the predictive effect of variables in the conversion to thoracotomy was analyzed through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Delong test was used to compare the area under the curve (AUC) predicted by all variables.Results:In the conversional group, the proportion of peribronchial lymph node (PLN), peribronchial cuffs of soft (PCS), pleural calcification, pulmonary nodule calcification, PLN or PCS calcification or increased density on chest CT was higher than that in the non-conversional group (all P<0.05); and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) of PET in the conversional group was higher compared with that in the non-conversional group ( P<0.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis suggested age ( OR = 4.663,95% CI 2.191- 9.923, P < 0.001) and PLN or PCS density of chest CT scan ( OR = 2.824, 95% CI 1.791-7.303, P < 0.001) were independent influencing factors of the conversion from thoracoscopic lobectomy to thoracotomy. ROC analysis showed that the effect of the conversion to thoracotomy predicted by the combination of 18F-FDG PET and chest CT [AUC = 0.891 (95% CI 0.831-0.951); the optimal cut-off value of SUV max and CT was 3.45, 70 Hu: the sensitivity was 84.4%, the specificity was 83.8%] was better than that by chest CT alone [AUC = 0.678 (95% CI 0.591-0.766); the optimal cut-off value of CT was 70 Hu: the sensitivity was 62.2%, the specificity was 62.8%; P < 0.001] and by age [AUC = 0.625 (95% CI 0.532-0.719); the optimal cut-off value was 65.5 years: the sensitivity was 75.6%, the specificity was 60.1%; P < 0.001]. Conclusions:PLN or PCS density on chest scan and age are valuable in predicting the conversion from thoracoscopic lobectomy to thoracotomy for NSCLC patients. The combination of PET and CT has an additional role in predicting the conversion to thoracotomy during thoracoscopic lobectomy.

To explore the efficacy and influencing factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with myeloid leukemia and granulocytic sarcoma (GS).Clinical outcome including hematopoietic reconstitution,transplant-related complications,survival and relapse were collected and retrospectively analyzed in 9 patients with myeloid leukemia and GS after allo-HSCT.Hematopoiesis reconstitution was achieved in all the 9 recipients.Four cases developed acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD),and 1 with chronic GVHD.The median follow-up time after transplantation was 10(4-81) months.Only 2 cases survived,the other 7 died of relapse.The median time of relapse after transplantation was 5(3-19) months.Allo-HSCT is relatively effective treatment for patients with myeloid leukemia and GS.Relapse after transplantation remains the major factor of mortality.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of EBV related post-transplantation lymphoproliferative diseases (PTLD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods The clinical data of 262 cases of allo-HSCT were retrospectively,and EBV-associated PTLD occurred in 9 cases after transplantation with a incidence of 3.44％ (9/262).Of the 9 patients,6 were males and 3 were females,with a median age of 19 years;the primary disease was severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in 6 cases,acute myeloid leukemia in 2 cases and chronic myeloid leukemia in 1 case Results The occurring median time of EBV associated PTLDs was 58 d (44-271 d).The clinical manifestations of most PTLD recipients were recurrent fever with no reaction to any antibiotics,antiadoncus and lymphadenectasis.Of the 9 recipients,6 cases obtained pathological diagnosis,and 3 cases clinical diagnosis.Superficial lymph node and central nervous system (CNS) involved in 8 and 4 recipients,respectively;lung and bone involvement occurred in 2 recipients and 1 case,respectively.The median number of peripheral blood EBV DNA in 9 recipients was 7.21 × 104 copies/ml (6.37 × 103-4.56 × 105 copies/ml) at the time of onset.EBV DNA in peripheral blood was positive in only one ease of 4 CNS recipients.Among 9 recipients after therapy,4 cases were cured and 4 cases were partially effective,and 1 recipient was ineffective After follow-up for 28 months (2-48 months),6 cases died,and 3 survived.Conclusion Incidence of EBV related PTLD in SAA patients undergoing allo-HSCT is relatively higher than leukemia recipients.Reduction or withdrawal of immunosuppressant,Rituximab and low dose of DLI is effective treatment.
