Objective To investigate the expression and prognostic significance of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha 3, alpha6 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods The expression of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha3, alpha6 in 71 patients with PDAC and 10 samples of normal pancreas tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry, and the relationship between the expression of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha 3, alpha 6 and the clinicopathological features, prognosis of these patients was analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha 3, alpha 6 in PDAC were 81.69% (58/71) , 69.01% (49/71), 69.01% (49/71) and 84.51% (60/71) , and there was no expression in normal pancreas tissues. The expressions of CD151, c-Met were significantly associated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). The expression of CD151 was positively correlated with the expressions of c-Met and integrin alpha3, alpha6 (r =0.583, P =0.000, r = 0.457;P =0.000, r = 0.671 ;P =0.000). Univariate analysis suggested the expression of CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha3, alpha6 was associated with survival (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis suggested the expression of CD151, c-Met was the independent prognostic factor for post-operative survival. Conclusions CD151, c-Met and integrin alpha3, alpha6 play a role in the development, metastasis and prognosis of PDAC, and they might be new markers to predict biological behavior and the prognosis of PDAC patients.

Abstract: Objective To understand the clinical manifestations, symptoms, treatment and recovery of neonates infected with Omicron variant (BA.5.1.3) of SARS-CoV-2, and provide a certain reference for subsequent diagnosis and treatment of related diseases. Methods The clinical manifestations, epidemiology, auxiliary examinations, and treatment processes of the neonate aged 4-day-old who was community-acquired infection of variant BA.5.1.3 in Sanya was retrospectively analyzed. Results The neonate's mother was identified as a close contact with patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) one hour before delivery, and tested positive for nucleic acid within 24 hours after delivery. But her breast milk, amniotic fluid, placenta, and umbilical cord were not detected for nucleic acid test after delivery. The nucleic acid test of the neonate was negative within 24 hours after birth. Then he was transferred to the hotel for isolation. Before the transfer, the mother and baby stayed in the same room and ate breast milk but the mother did not wear any mask. The neonate didn't have nucleic acid test on the second and third days of his life, and the nucleic acid test of the neonate was positive on the fourth day, negative on the fifth day, and positive on the sixth day. Then he was transferred to the designated hospital of COVID-19 for treatment. The neonate had no cough, no fever, yellow skin, abdominal distension, general breast feeding, and good reaction. On admission, the laboratory examination showed that blood routine examination and electrolyte were normal, and the myocardial enzyme and liver and kidney functions were normal. The bilirubin was significantly increased (449.3 μmol/L). The nucleic acid test of the neonate was positive and his chest imaging results were normal. The treatment measures were mainly isolation, feeding, blue light fading, close monitoring of vital signs, and antiviral drugs were administered. Jaundice subsided and abdominal distension was relieved after 6 d of treatment, and the treatment process was smooth without complications. Conclusions The results suggest that the neonates are susceptible to Omicron variant BA.5.1.3 and prone to aggregation. The evidence of vertical transmission is insufficient and the clinical symptoms of neonates infected with Omicron variant BA.5.1.3 are mid, with no involvement of organ damage of the heart, liver, kidney, brain, and other organs.

The discovery of drug targets plays a crucial role in drug research. Accurate information of small molecule drug-protein interaction can be provided by label-free target discovery technology without any structural modification at the small molecule. So, the label-free drug target discovery technology had become the powerful tool to discover the targets of drugs. Due to the “multi-component and multi-target” characteristics of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), the research on its targets and mechanism had been restricted. Based on potential of the label-free target discovery technology in the research of TCMs, this paper summarized the label-free target discovery technology and its application in TCMs research. It will provide a reference for the discovery of targets of TCMs and a new view for promoting the modernization of TCMs.

OBJECTIVETo investigate morphological changes of capillary in aging brain and explore the role of vascular factor in brain aging.
METHODSTwenty-eight brains of individuals (mean age 65 years) who died without clinical or pathological involvement of nervous system and 6 brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients (mean age 83 years) were obtained at autopsy. Sections from frontal lobe, occipital lobe, striatum and hippocampus of normal subjects and sections from hippocampus of AD patients were used for hematoxylin eosin (HE), lox fast blue (LFB), toluidine blue stains and ulex europaeus agglutinin (UEA) immunostaining. After observations of morphological changes of neuron and capillary, computer-aid image analysis was performed to quantify numerical density and area density of neuron and capillary in frontal lobe, occipital lobe, putamen, CA3 sector of normal subjects and CA3 sector of AD patients. Numerical ratio and area ratio of neuron and capillary were then calculated. Correlations between neuron/capillary ratio and age were estimated using Pearson's correlation test. Difference of neuron/capillary ratio in CA3 sectors between AD patients and advanced aged normal subjects (> 75 years) was analyzed with Student's t-test.
RESULTSSeveral pathological microvascular changes, including increased tortuosity, looping, bundling, stringing, and effacement of endothelia were seen in aged subjects and more prevalent in AD patients. Numerical ratio and area ratio of neuron and capillary of frontal lobe, occipital lobe and putamen significantly increased with age in normal aging subjects.
CONCLUSIONSMorphological changes and relative decrease in number and capacity of capillary in aging brain may reduce cerebral blood flow and metabolism, and consequently result in functional impairment of aging brain. Vascular factors may play an important role in the development of brain aging.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) total DNA and covalently closed circular (ccc) DNA in liver transplant recipients due to HBV-associated liver diseases and detemaine their clinical significance.
METHODSSixty patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) due to HBV-associated liver diseases were enrolled for the study. Levels of HBV total and ccc DNA in plasma, liver and PBMCs were measured by RT-PCR.
RESULTSThe ratio of male:female participants was 48:12. The mean age was 52.98+/-9.40 years old, and the median duration post-LT was 72 (25-128) months. 59 of the patients had no detectable HBV DNA in plasma.Four patients had detectable levels of total HBV DNA in PBMCs, but no detectable ccc DNA. Five patients had detectable levels of total HBV DNA in liver, and two of those also had detectable levels of ccc DNA. One patients who had detectable HBV DNA in PBMCs suffered HBV recurrence.
CONCLUSIONThe liver transplant recipients with detectable levels of HBV total and ccc DNA in PBMCs and liver should be considered high risk for HBV recurrence following LT.
