Objective: To investigate the role of fibroblast growth factor receptor(FGFR) 1 in endothelial to-mesenchymal transition(EndMT) and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition(EMT), and to find out a new strategy to study the vascular endothelial function of diabetic renal fibrosis. Methods: Culture media from FRS2 knockdown HMVECs was transferred to HK-2 cells. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were used to measure EMT markers and key moleculars of transforming growth factor(TGFβ). Results: It was found that the medium from FRS2 siRNA-transfected HMVECs reduced E-cadherin protein levels, increased EMT markers levels, and activated TGFβ signal pathway in HK-2 cells. Conclusion Endothelial FGFR1 deficiency-induced EndMT leads to EMT in neighboring cells in a manner dependent on TGFβ1 signaling. Endothelial cell FGFR1 is an important molecule for maintaining endothelial homeostasis and epithelial homeostasis, and seems to be a key target for anti-diabetic renal fibrosis.

Diarrhea is a common intestinal symptom in macaque.The corresponding intestinal lesions of macaque are mainly described at autopsy but less observed by colonoscopy.The aim of this study was to develop a colonoscopic technique and to obtain endoscopic images of the entire colon in macaques.Eight healthy adult macaques ( 5 males and 3 females) without diarrhea for 2 months, were fed Glauber’ s salt through nasogastric tubes.The colon cleanliness was well matched to the endoscopic observation of macaque colon.The procedure took 10-20 min for each animal.There was no obvious abnormality in the colon of four animals except some slight differences of mucosal structure from that of human beings.Small pieces of erosion and ulcer in the colons were observed in four macaques which presented mild diarrhea for less than 1 day, while a severe stenosis was observed in one of those four macaques.No animal died during and one week after the endoscopic procedure.Colonoscopy may safely performed in macaques.The images taken by colonoscopy may be important to establish diagnosis and treatment of colitis in macaques in time and to evaluate the efficacy of drug intervention as well.This technique is also helpful to provide qualified macaques for scientific researches.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of B7-H3 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) on diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion (MPE).Methods We collected and analysed the expression of B7-H3 and CEA in 40 MPE cases and 22 cases of benign pleural effusion (BPE) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Receiver operator characteristic curves (ROC) were drawn according to the expression of B7-H3 and CEA, calculated diagnosis sensitivity, specificity and the area under curve (AUC).Results The diagnosis sensitivity of B7-H3 was 62.5％, specificity 81.0％, with the AUC of 0.777;similarly, The diagnosis sensitivity of CEA was 72.5％, specificity 81.0％, with the AUC of 0.850.Higher AUC of 0.910 was gained in combination ROC, with sensitivity and specificity of 72.5％, 81.0％, respectively.Conclusion B7-H3 and CEA could be available diagnosing markers for MPE.Combined applications of B7-H3 and CEA have higher AUC.They may be widely applied in future clinical practice.

Objective To explore the role of fibroblast growth factor receptor ( FGFR ) 1 in endothelial homeostasis via an induction of microRNA let-7s, with effects on AcSDKP(N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline) and associated mitochondrial biogenesis. Methods Blocking FGFR1 signaling pathway, Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were used to measure mitochondrial fusion ( mitofusin-2, MFN2;optic atrophy protein 1, OPA1 ) and fission ( dynamin-related protein-1, DRP1 ) proteins and mitochondrial biogenesis by MitoTraker Green. Also real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR) was performed to test microRNA let-7' expression. Results FGFR1 signaling pathway was critical for AcSDKP maintaining mitochondrial biogenesis through induction of microRNA let-7b. In endothelial cells, the AcSDKP restored the triple[TGF-β2, interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α]-suppressed microRNA let-7b-5p expression and associated with mitochondrial biogenesis. Such effect of AcSDKP was lost in either fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2 (FRS2) siRNA or neutralizing FGFR1 treated-cells. Similarly, AcSDKP lost its effect on mitochondrial biogenesis in microRNA let-7b-5p inhibitor-treated-cells. In addition, microRNA let-7b-5p mimic reversed the FRS2 siRNA-suppressed mitochondrial biogenesis in endothelial cells. Conclusion These findings demonstrated that FGFR1 is critical for maintaining mitochondrial biogenesis through control of microRNA let-7b-5p in endothelial cells.

Objective To evaluate he significance of the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio(NLR)and the red blood cell(erythrocyte)distribution width(RDW)in distinguishing between simple and complex febrile seizures and evaluate the diagnostic values of NLR and RDW in febrile seizures. Methods Totally,100 patients aged between 6 months and 5 years diagnosed with febrile seizure were admitted to the emergency department of the hospital.Complete blood count obtained from the peripheral blood samples collected from the patients at admis-sion were evaluated. Results The average values of NLR for simple and complex seizure groups were 2.16 ± 1.26 and 3.62 ± 1.51 respectively.The average values of RDW for simple and complex seizure groups were 15.04 ± 1.73 and 16.89 ± 1.44,respectively.Using receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC),the sensitivity and specificity were 65.5% and 66.2%,respectively,with the area under the curve[AUC]of 0.670 when the cut-off value was 2.52 for NLR,and they were 62.1% and 59.3%,respectively,with AUC of 0.619 when the cut-off value was 16.47 for RDW. Conclusion NLR and RDW may provide clinicians with an insight into differentiation between simple and complex febrile seizures,however,we need much better diagnostic value to classify the febrile seizures

Objective To explore the level of inflammatory factors and their correlation with prognosis in chronic cervicitis patients with human papillomavirus(HPV)infection.Methods Totally 100 patients from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the observation group.Among them,67 patients were 100 patients with low-risk HPV and 33 patients with high-risk HPV.At the same time,100 female personnel with physical examination in our hospital were selected as the control group.All of the patients were treated routinely.The C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin(IL)-6,and serum amyloid A(SAA)levels were measured,and the patients were followed up for 6 months after treatment to observe the prognosis.Results Compared with the control group,The expression of CRP,IL-6 and SAA level increased in the observation group(P<0.05),Compared with the low-risk HPV group,The expression of CRP,IL-6 and SAA level increased in high-risk HPV group(P<0.05).Compared with patients with a good prognosis,Higher expression of CRP,IL-6 and SAA in patients with poor prognosis(P<0.05).The positive correlation between CRP,IL-6,SAA and low-risk HPV and high-risk HPV,Statistical difference(P<0.05).Negative correlation between CRP,IL-6,SAA and good prognosis,All showed a positive correlation between CRP,IL-6,and SAA and poor prognosis,There were statistical differences(P<0.05).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis showed that the diagnostic value of CRP,IL-6 and SAA(P<0.05).Conclusion Patients with chronic cervicitis have increased CRP,IL-6 and SAA in HPV infection,and the abnormal increased or decreased expression level is the risk predictor of chronic cervicitis with HPV infection,which may be closely related to the diagnosis of the disease,pathological characteristics,disease development and prognosis.

Objective:To analyze the laboratory tests in newly hospitalized patients with COVID-19　and their predictive values for the severity of the disease.Methods:83 patients, including 54 males and 29 females, with median interquartile range of 63(53-70)years diagnosed with covid-19　who were managed by Fujian medical team from January 27, 2020 to February 20, 2020 in Wuhan JinYinTan Hospital were studied retrospectively. According to the severity of the disease, they were divided into common, severe and critical groups. White blood cell (WBC), lymphocyte (LYM), loctate dehydrogenase (LDH), interleukin-6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT), serum ferritin (SF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and D-Dimer (D-D) on admission were analyzed retrospectively. And the predictive value of each indicator for critical group was analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:On admission, in common, severe and critical groups, WBC (×10 9/L) values were 7.10±3.88, 7.73±3.77 and 9.07±5.61, respectively ( F = 1.315, P=0.274); IL-6　(μg/L) values were 11.76(9.42-15.18), 11.93(10.15-15.63) and 11.24(8.06-13.75), respectively( Z=0.591, P=0.744);D-D (mg/L) values were 0.70(0.48-1.12), 1.67(1.07-7.14) and 1.96(0.71-8.18), respectively( Z=3.363, P=0.186).There were no significant differences among three groups. On admission, in common, severe and critical groups, LYM(×10 9/L) values were 1.10±0.33, 0.80±0.35 and 0.66±0.32, respectively( F=11.415, P<0.001); SF(μg/L) values were 470.83±283.43, 835.66±819.43, and 1341.15±949.54, respectively ( F=7.98, P=0.001); ESR(mm/h) values were 30.76±15.70, 42.55±22.51 and 51.04±25.09, respectively( F=5.181, P=0.008); LDH(U/L) values were 314.71±105.46, 325.69±109.85 and 444.03±181.07, respectively( F=7.17, P=0.001); hs-CRP(μg/L)values were 16(7.20-19.90), 31.00(20.00-87.60) and 80.50(33.70-113.00), respectively( Z=12.185, P=0.002);PCT(μg/L) values were 0.025(0.02-0.05), 0.05(0.02-0.13) and 0.09(0.05-0.39), respectively( Z=9.694, P=0.008). There were significant differences among three groups. Pairwise comparison showed that the LYM value in common group was higher than those in severe and critical groups, and the hs-CRP values in severe and critical groups were higher than that in common group,while SF, ESR, LDH and PCT values in critical group were all higher than those in severe and common groups( P<0.05). Conclusions:On admission, WBC, LYM, ESR and LDH are helpful to predict the severity of COVID-19. Although the level of IL-6 is increased, it may not be meaningful to judge the severity of COVID-19.
