PurposeTo study the effect of gasoline on the extracellular matrix of dermis in rat. Methods45 male Wistar rats were divided into control group, 3 different exposure level groups, which were exposed to gasoline on 2 cm× 3 cm skin area with the dose of 250 mg/cm2 for 1 (group A) ,4(group B)and 8 days (group C) respectively,and an intervention group exposed to 250 mg/cm2 × 8 days gasoline after the application of protective agent on skin. After the treatment, collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) were assayed in skin departed from intoxicated area.ResultsCompared with control group, collagen was decreased in group C(P<0.05); elastin was decreased in group B and C (P<0.05); glycosaminoglycan was decreased in all exposure groups and intervention group ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 )。 Collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan(GAG) were significantly lower in group C than in intervention group ( P < 0.05 ). ConclusionsThe extracellular matrix of dermis,including collagen,elastin and GAG were decreased in rat dermal exposed to gasoline.

OBJECTIVETo observe the differences in onset time and the overall efficacy of the acupuncture therapy of dredging Governor Vessel and regulating mentality combined with fluoxetine and the fluoxetine for post-stroke depression(PSD).

METHODSSixty-three patients were randomly divided into an acupuncture intervention of dredging Governor Vessel and regulating mentality group(acupuncture and medication group, 33 cases) and a control group (medication group, 30 cases). In the medication group, 20 mg fluoxetine was used by oral administration, once a day at 7:00 in the morning, continuously for 4 weeks. In the acupuncture and medication group, based on the oral administration of fluoxetine, the acupuncture intervention of dredging Governor Vessel and regulating mentality was applied mainly at Baihui(GV 20), Fengfu(GV 16), Shenting(GV 24), Shuigou(GV 26), Dazhui(GV 14) and Shendao(GV 11), once a day, 6 times a week, continuously for 4 weeks. Twenty-four items in Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD), modified Edinburgh Scandinavia Stroke Scale(MESSS) and activity of daily life scale(ADL, Barthel index, BI) were used before and after 2-week and 4-week treatment. The efficacy was compared between the two groups.

RESULTSAfter 2-week treatment, the HAMD score and the MESSS score in the acupuncture and medication group were obviously decreased and the BI score was apparently increased(all P<0. 01). In the medication group, however, the score of every scale was not statistically different from that before treatment(P'>0. 05). After 4-week treatment, HAMD scores and MESSS scores in the two groups were obviously decreased and the BI scores I were apparently increased(all P<0. 01). After 2-week and 4-week treatment, the HAMD scores and the MESSS scores in the acupuncture and medication group were lower than those in the medication group and the BI scores were higher than those in the medication group(P<0. 01, P<0. 05). The total effective rate of anti-depression (97. 0%, 32/33) the total effective rate of nerve function impairment(90. 9%, 30/33) and the total effective rate of daily life activity(97. 0% 32/33) in the acupuncture and medication group were better than 80. 0% (24/30), 80. 0%(24/30), 83. 3%(25/30) in the medication group(all P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe acupuncture therapy of dredging Governor Vessel and regulating mentality could reduce the onset time of anti-depression medicine treatment of PSD and enhance the overall efficacy. Therefore, it enhances the clinical compliance.

Objective: To investigate the correlations between parameters of histograms of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with multi-b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) at 3.0T MRI and prognostic factors and molecular subtypes of breast cancer, to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ADC histograms at different b values. Methods: A total of 114 patients (116 lesions) with inva-sive ductal carcinomas confirmed by surgical pathology who underwent breast magnetic resonance imaging from March 2015 to Janu-ary 2016 in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The histograms of ADC with b val-ues of 0, 500, 800, 1000, and 1,500 s/mm2 were generated using Image J software. Various parameters were calculated: for example, the minimum, mean, mode, skewness, and kurtosis. Different groups were based on the molecular subtypes, tumor size (T1 vs . T2-3), histologic grade (high vs. low), and lymph node status (positive vs. negative) that were recorded. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare the differences in ADC histogram parameters between two different groups. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were constructed. Results: The skewness was lower in Luminal tumors than that in non-Luminal tumors with b values of 500, 800, 1, 000, and 1,500s/mm2 (P<0.05). The ADCmin was higher in human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) over-expression than in non-HER-2 over-expression (P<0.05). The kurtosis was lower in stage T1 tumors than stage T2-3 tumors (P<0.05), and kurtosis was cor-related with tumor size (P<0.05). ADCmode and ADCmean were different between different histological subtypes with a b value of 500 s/mm2 (P<0.05). Under different b values, there were no significant differences in terms of areas under the curve for each histogram pa-rameter, which had statistically significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusions: Multi-b-value DWI ADC histogram analysis, as a quantita- tive method to characterize tumor heterogeneity, can reflect the biological behavior and prognosis of breast cancer to some extent, and the diagnostic performance of ADC histograms showed no significant differences in differentiating molecular types and prognostic factors of breast cancer at different b values.

Objective:To investigate the value of evaluating pancreatic exocrine insufficiency with fecal pancreatic elastase-1 in the clinical staging of chronic pancreatitis and prognosis evaluation.Methods:A total of 100 patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (patient group) who received treatment in Wenzhou Central Hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 and 100 subjects without pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (control group) were included in this study. Fecal pancreatic elastase-1 content was measured by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the value of fecal pancreatic elastase-1 content in the diagnosis of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Fecal pancreatic elastase-1 content was compared among patients with different clinical stages of chronic pancreatitis. The factors that affect the prognosis of patients with chronic pancreatitis were analyzed using logistic regression analysis.Results:Pancreatic elastase-1 content in the patient group was (63.28 ± 13.24) μg/g, which was significantly lower than (768.29 ± 102.59) μg/g in the control group ( t = 68.16, P < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, Youden index, and 95% CI of using pancreatic elastase-1 content to diagnose pancreatic exocrine insufficiency were 74.7%, 63.5%, 0.724, and 0.740-0.870, respectively. Among the 200 included subjects, 103 had chronic pancreatitis. With the increase in M-ANNHEIM clinical stage, fecal pancreatic elastase-1 content in patients with chronic pancreatitis gradually decreased ( F = 182.66, P < 0.05). Pancreatic elastase-1 content < 200 μg/g was used as a standard to evaluate pancreatic exocrine function. Results showed that 35 patients had stage I chronic pancreatitis, 40 patients had stage II chronic pancreatitis, and 28 patients had stage III chronic pancreatitis. There was no significant difference in the number of patients with different stages of chronic pancreatitis between the two clinical stage classification methods ( χ2 = 12.46, P = 0.002). Six-month follow-up results showed that among 103 patients with chronic pancreatitis, 31 had a poor prognosis (30.1%). Univariate analysis revealed that there were significant differences in age at onset, body mass index, triglyceride level, alcohol consumption, and pancreatic elastase-1 content among patients with different prognoses ( χ2 = 24.07, 4.27, 5.43, 8.38, 4.93, P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age at onset, body mass index, triglyceride level, alcohol consumption, and pancreatic elastase-1 content were the independent influential factors of prognosis in patients with chronic pancreatitis [ OR (95% CI) = 4.207 (2.741-11.609), 1.870 (1.241-2.972), 1.984 (1.437-3.113), 2.769 (1.827-5.125), 1.951 (1.469-3.387), all P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Pancreatic elastase-1 content is of great value in assessing pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, and is closely related to the clinical staging and prognosis of patients with chronic pancreatitis. Therefore, fecal pancreatic elastase-1 content is expected to be a reliable reference for assessing the progress of chronic pancreatitis and predicting its prognosis.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of induction therapy in 3+7 protocol and 3+10 protocol in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods Two protocols were carried out in our hospital during January 2010 to January 2015, namely 3+7 protocol(AML-06,A group) and 3+10 protocol (modified AML protocol, B group). A total of 56 cases aged from 1 year-old to 13 year-old were enrolled in A group with male to female ratio at 31:25. Five of them were classified as FAB M1, 25 as M2, 11 as M4, 10 as M5, 2 as M6 and 3 as M7. Another 44 cases aged from 1 year to 12 years were enrolled in B group with a male to female ratio at 26:18, and 17 cases were classified as FAB M2, 14 as M4, 9 as M5, 2 as M6, and 2 as M7. Efficacy and adverse events were compared between the two groups. Results The complete remission rate (CR) of B group was 70.4%, while CR in A group was 48.2%. Considering the CR, 3+10 protocol showed higher efficacy than 3+7 protocol (P< 0.05). The major adverse event was bone marrow suppression. Treatment-related mortality (TRD) in A group was 1.8%, which was lower than that in B group (2.3%). The overall survival rate in A group was 75.0%, which was lower than that in B group (86.4%, P< 0.05). Conclusions The induction therapy of 3+10 protocol and 3+7 protocol showed effectiveness for AML treatment. The 3+10 protocol showed a higher CR than 3+7 protocol with no TRD increase, indicating that the 3+10 protocol should be recommended for AML treatment in children.

Objective:To explore the effects of Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture on vascular endothelial function and inflammatory factors in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) after ischemic stroke (IS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 71 patients with MCI after IS in the hospital between January 2020 and September 2022. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group ( n=31, Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture + oral nimodipine tables) and routine body-acupuncture group ( n=40, routine body-acupuncture group + oral nimodipine tables). Both groups were treated for 2 courses (14 d/course). Before and after treatment, levels of serum NO and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were detected by radioimmunoassay, and levels of serum basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), plasma homocysteine (Hcy) and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. The cognitive function of patients was evaluated and intelligence level by Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE) and the clinical curative effect was also evaluated. Results:The total response rates in Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group and routine body-acupuncture group were 90.32% (28/31) and 70.00% (28/40), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.33, P=0.037). After treatment, levels of plasma Hcy and IL-6 in Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group were lower than those in the routine body-acupuncture group ( t=2.57, 9.36, P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treatment, levels of serum bFGF, VEGF and NO in Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group were significantly higher than those in the routine body-acupuncture group ( t=10.03, 9.29, 8.17, P<0.01), while ET-1 level was significantly lower than that of the routine body-acupuncture group ( t=2.41, P=0.019). After treatment, MoCA score [(28.24±4.45) vs. (25.32±4.34), t=2.78], MMSE score [(28.73±1.44) vs. (28.02±1.22), t=2.25] in Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group were higher than those in the routine body-acupuncture group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture is beneficial to improve vascular endothelial function, reduce levels of inflammatory factors, promote the recovery of cognitive function and improve curative effect in patients with MCI after IS.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of Lacosamide add-on therapy in Chinese children with partial-onset seizures.Methods:SP848 was a global multicenter single-arm study involving 60 Chinese children with partial-onset seizures with the age of 4-17 years who were managed by Lacosamide add-on therapy at seven hospitals across China from April 2018 to May 2019.After treatment with at least two kinds of anti-seizure medications simultaneously or sequentially, partial seizures were still poorly controlled and Lacosamide oral solution (syrup) or tablets were added.The minimum initial oral dose was 2 mg/(kg·d), and the maximum allowable dose was 12 mg/(kg·d)or 600 mg/d during the study period.The dose was adjusted according to the tolerance and seizure control level of partial-onset seizures children.Seizure frequency and the median percentage change in partial-onset seizures per 28 days from baseline to the final visit were recorded, including 50% responder rate and 75% responder rate.Results:A total of 60 Chinese children with the mean age of 9.18 (4.00-15.40) years were included in this interim analysis, involving 39 males and 21 females.The mean course of epilepsy was 5.04 (0.50-15.20) years.A total of 43 patients (71.7%) still have been treated.One patient (1.7%) has completed the 6-12 months of follow-up, and 14 patients (23.3%) have completed the follow-up for less than 6 months.The median change in the frequency of partial seizures every 28 days from baseline to the last visit was -2.91, with its median percentage as -25.46%, and the proportions of ≥50%, while ≥75% responder rate were 40.0% and 28.3%, respectively.A total of 52 patients (86.7%) had 265 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE), 11 patients (18.3%) had 19 serious TEAE, 37 patients (61.7%) had 127 drug-related TEAE, and 11 patients (18.3%) had 16 TEAE leading to the discontinuation of the trial.The most common TEAE were upper respiratory tract infections (20 cases, 33.3%), followed by drowsiness (16 cases, 26.7%), dizziness (15 cases, 25.0%) and vomiting (13 cases, 21.7%). There were no abnormal changes in the electrocardiographic findings during the treatment.Conclusions:For Chinese patients with partial seizures who are older than the age of 4 years and poorly controlled by other drugs, Lacosamide is effective and well tolerated as an add-on therapy drug.The safety characteristics are consistent with those reported in children and adults.No new safety concerns are identified.
