Intestinal fibrosis is a significant clinical challenge in inflammatory bowel diseases, but no effective anti-fibrotic therapy is currently available. Glucagon receptor (GCGR) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) are both peptide hormone receptors involved in energy metabolism of epithelial cells. However, their role in intestinal fibrosis and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Herein GCGR and GLP1R were found to be reduced in the stenotic ileum of patients with Crohn's disease as well as in the fibrotic colon of mice with chronic colitis. The downregulation of GCGR and GLP1R led to the accumulation of the metabolic byproduct lactate, resulting in histone H3K9 lactylation and exacerbated intestinal fibrosis through epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Dual activating GCGR and GLP1R by peptide 1907B reduced the H3K9 lactylation in epithelial cells and ameliorated intestinal fibrosis in vivo. We uncovered the role of GCGR/GLP1R in regulating EMT involved in intestinal fibrosis via histone lactylation. Simultaneously activating GCGR/GLP1R with the novel dual agonist peptide 1907B holds promise as a treatment strategy for alleviating intestinal fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the status quo of pain crisis in advanced lung cancer patients and analyze its influencing factors.Methods From August to November 2023,318 patients with advanced lung cancer were selected from 6 wards of respiratory department of a tertiary A hospital in Zhengzhou.The Numerical Rating Scale,Perceptive Social Support Scale,Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale were used to investigate the influencing factors of pain crisis in advanced lung cancer patients by Logistic regression.Results Among 318 patients with advanced lung cancer,102 patients had painful crisis,with the incidence rate of 32.08％.0lder age and high level of social support were protective factors for pain crisis,and bone metastasis,anxiety and mild to moderate depression were risk factors for pain crisis.Conclusion The incidence of pain crisis was high in advanced lung cancer patients.Medical staff should pay attention to those with younger age,bone metastasis,low level of social support,high level of anxiety and mild to moderate level of depression,and take timely intervention measures to reduce the occurrence of pain crisis.

Objective     To investigate the current status of constipation during postoperative hospitalization and the factors associated with moderate to severe constipation at discharge in lung cancer patients. Methods     Lung cancer patients who underwent surgery in 6 tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province from November 2017 to January 2020 were enrolled. The MD Anderson Symptom Scale-Lung Cancer Module was used to collect postoperative constipation scores. Unconditional logistic stepwise regression was used to analyze the related influencing factors for moderate to severe constipation on the day of discharge. Results     Finally 337 patients were collected. There were 171 males and 166 females, with an average age of 55.0±10.3 years. Constipation scores of lung cancer patients increased from postoperative day 1 to day 3, and showed a decreasing trend from day 3 to day 7. Moderate to severe constipation was present in 68 (20.2%) patients at discharge. The postoperative hospital stay (OR=0.743, P<0.001) and the dose of morphine used during postoperative hospitalization (OR=1.002, P=0.015) were influencing factors for moderate to severe constipation at discharge in lung cancer patients. Conclusion    Lung cancer patients have the most severe constipation on postoperative day 3. Moderate to severe constipation at discharge is associated with the postoperative hospital stay and the dose of morphine used during postoperative hospitalization.

Objective:To explore the influence of family caregiver empowerment intervention model on discharge preparation and quality of life of patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, 84 lung cancer patients who received chemotherapy in the Department of Respiratory Medicine in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected, each patient chose one family primary caregiver. It was divided into the control group and the intervention group by the draw method with 42 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing intervention of internal medicine chemotherapy, and the intervention group received empowerment intervention of main family caregivers on the basis of the control group. The effect of family caregiver empowerment intervention mode were investigated by observing the discharge readiness and quality of life of lung cancer patients.Results:There was no significant difference in the preparation for discharge and quality of life between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05); after three cycles intervention, the total scores of discharge readiness and quality of life in the intervention group were (76.30±2.80), (94.05±3.70), which were significantly better than those in the control group(73.02±3.73), (87.44±4.18), and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -4.464, -7.527, P<0.01). Conclusions:Empowerment intervention model of family caregivers can improve the discharge readiness and quality of life of lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Objective:This study analyzes the expression level of miR-1180-3p and constructs the regulatory network of relevant ceRNA by integrating the DNA methylation and gene expression profile of hepatocellular carcinoma from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).Methods:Firstly, the expression level of miR-1180-3p in hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent tissues was analyzed by TCGA database, and the differential expression of lncrna and mRNA was screened. Secondly, the LncBase database and the TargetScan database were used to predict the relationship between miR-1180-3p and lncRNA and mRNA, and the DNA methylation-mediated lncRNA was screened by the DNA methylation profile of lncRNA. Finally, Cytoscape software was used to construct miR-1180-3p relevant ceRNA network, and WebGestalt website was used to perform GO and KEGG analysis of related mRNA in ceRNA.Results:Compared with patients with low expression of miR-1180-3p (mean overall survival duration, 5.69 ± 0.35 years), patients with high expression of miR-1180-3p had shorter overall survival time (mean overall survival duration, 3.99 ± 0.47 years), indicating that the high expression of miR-1180-3p was hepatocellular carcinoma risk factor affecting the prognosis ( HR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.1 ~ 1.5, P < 0.01). A miR-1180-3p related ceRNA regulatory network was constructed in this study, which contained 2 lncRNAs (F11-AS1 and LINC01511) and 37 mRNAs. Conclusion:This study has successfully constructed miR-1180-3p relevant ceRNA regulatory network, and DNA methylation-mediated F11-AS1 and F11-AS1/miR-1180-3p/C11of54 ceRNA regulatory axis has played an important role in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective: To assess clinical effect and safety of botulinum toxin A injection in external urethral sphincter for male patient with neurogenic detrusor underactivity(DU). Methods: A prospective and self-controlled trail was conducted from August 2012 to October 2017. Male patients with nerve injury, dysuria more than 6 months, DU(bladder contractility index less than 100) were enrolled in this study. Exclusion criteria included patients with acute urinary tract infection, bladder stone, benign prostate hyperplasia, urethral stricture and urethral diverticulum.100 IU BTX-A was dissolved in 4ml normal saline, and the solution of BTX- A was injected into 4 different points(3-o’clock, 6-o’clock, 9-o’clock, and 12-o’clock) in external urinary sphincter with each point of 1ml solution. Patients were evaluated at baseline and 12 weeks after injection. The outcomes included post void residual (PVR), maximum flow rate (Q_max), maximum detrusor pressure during voiding phases (P_det.max), maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP), the case number of intermittent catheterization (IC)and the score of quality of life (QOL score). Adverse events were also recorded. Results: A total of 58 male patients (all from Guangdong provincial work injury rehabilitation hospital)with mean age 28.6 years suffered from cerebral palsy (n=2), cerebrovascular accident(n=19)and spinal cord injury(n=37) were included into the study. Compared to baseline data, significant difference were observed at week 12 in PVR (56.68 ml vs. 280.11 ml, P<0.001), P_det.max(23.95 cmH₂O vs. 30.01 cmH₂O, P=0.019), Q_max(6.74 ml/s vs. 3.28 ml/s, P=0.042), MUCP(48.25 cmH₂O vs. 79.34 cmH₂O, P<0.001), the case number of IC(40 vs. 58, P<0.001) and QOL score(3.63 vs.5.22, P<0.001) respectively. 5 cases developed perineal pain and 16 cases developed mild transient haematuria. These adverse events were disappeared by medical symptomatic treatment during 3-5 days. Conclusions BTX-A externalurethral sphincter injections help reduce urethra resistance and also improve the quality of life for patients with neurogenic detrusor underactivity.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis risk factors of the elderly and youth patients with acute severe poisoning.Methods Adult patients with acute severe poisoning in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU) of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2008 to December 2017 were enrolled. The patients were divided into the elderly group (age ≥ 60 years) and the youth group (16 years≤age < 60 years), the clinical data of the two groups were analyzed. The patients were divided into survival group and death group according to the prognosis of 28-day, binary multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of mortality of the elderly and youth patients; receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to assess the predictive value of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) in mortality of youth patients.Results A total of 343 patients with acute severe poisoning were included, 89 in the elderly group and 254 in the youth group. ① Clinical features: compared with the youth group, the elderly group had higher proportion of basic diseases included hypertension, type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease, higher the initial APACHEⅡ scores at admission, higher the proportion of invasive mechanical ventilation and respiratory failure, and longer the length of EICU stay and the length of hospital stay. The main poisoning causes of elderly and youth patients were suicide (58.43％, 83.86％) and accidents (38.20％, 13.39％). The most common poisoning types of elderly patients were sedative hypnotics (23.60％) and organophosphorus pesticides (22.47％); the youth patients were mainly paraquat (42.52％) and organophosphorus pesticide (17.32％). There were 28 patients died (31.46％) in the elderly group and the cause of death were respiratory failure (53.57％), circulatory failure (32.14％) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS, 14.29％). There were 67 patients died (26.38％) in the youth group and the cause of death were respiratory failure (59.70％), MODS (20.90％) and circulatory failure (19.40％). ② Risk factors of deaths: the APACHEⅡ score, incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and MODS in the elderly death group were significantly higher than those in the elderly survival group. Logistic regression analysis showed that AKI was the independent risk factor for death in elderly patients [odds ratio (OR) = 8.449, 95％ confidence interval (95％CI) =2.347-30.410,P = 0.001]. The proportion of female, APACHE Ⅱ score, and the incidence of AKI, respiratory failure and MODS in the youth death group were significantly higher than those in the youth survival group. Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE Ⅱ score (OR = 1.175, 95％CI = 1.081-1.277,P = 0.001), AKI (OR = 34.470, 95％CI =11.681-101.722,P = 0.001) and MODS (OR = 3.834, 95％CI = 1.264-11.636,P = 0.018) were the independent factors for death in the youth patients. ③ Predictive value: the initial APACHEⅡscore was useful for predicting prognosis of youth patients with acute severe poisoning. The APACHE Ⅱ score to predict the death of the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.744 (95％CI = 0.681-0.806,P = 0.001); the cut-off was 5, the sensitivity was 92.54％, the specificity was 51.34％, the positive predictive value was 65.53％, the negative predictive value was 87.31％, the positive likelihood ratio was 1.902, and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.145.Conclusions Patients with acute severe poisoning have their own clinical characteristics. To reduce the morbidity and improve the prognosis, we should strengthen the pre-hospital management and optimize the clinical treatment process.

Objective To explore the expressions of growth factor receptor binding protein 2 -associated bin-ding protein -1 (Gab -1 )and glioma -associated oncogene homologue -1 (Gli -1 )in pediatric medulloblastoma,and to analyze their correlation between clinical and pathological characteristics and prognosis in pediatric medulloblastoma. Methods Elivision immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein in tissue microarray of 40 paraffin embedded pediatric medulloblastoma specimens.Chi -square test or Fisher exact test was used to analyze the correlation between Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein expressions with gender,age,tumor location and pathological subtypes.Follow -up data were handled by using Kaplan -Meier survival analysis and Cox regression anal-ysis.Results Positive expression ratios of Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein in 40 pediatric medulloblastoma were 35.0%and 55.0%,respectively.The positive expression rate of Gab -1 in medulloblastoma tissues had no statistical signifi-cance between different genders[male:30.4%(7 /23 cases)vs.female:41 .2%(7 /17 cases)],age[<3 years old:40.0%(6 /15 cases)vs.≥3 years old:32.0%(8 /25 cases)],tumor location[cerebellum:25.0%(5 /20 cases)vs. the fourth ventricle:45.0%(9 /20 cases)]and pathological subtype[classical type:40.7%(11 /27 cases)vs.desmo-plastic /nodular type:50.0%(5 /10 cases)vs.anaplastic /large cell type:66.7%(2 /3 cases)](χ2 =0.496,0.264, 1 .758,3.289,all P >0.05).There were statistical differences of positive expression rate of Gli -1 protein in different age groups[<3 years old:80.0%(12 /15 cases)vs.≥3 years old 40.0%(10 /25 cases)],different pathological sub-types[classical type:40.7%(11 /27 cases)vs.desmoplastic /nodular type:90.0%(9 /10 cases)vs.anaplastic /large cell type:66.7%(2 /3 cases)](χ2 =6.061 ,7.333,all P <0.05 ).There was no statistical difference in positive expression rate of Gli -1 protein between different gender[male:60.9%(14 /23 cases)vs.female:47.1 %(8 /17 cases)]and different tumor location [cerebellum:55.0% (11 /20 cases)vs.the fourth ventricle:55.0% (11 /20 cases)](χ2 =0.753,0.000,all P >0.05).Kaplan -Meier survival analysis showed that the age,the expressions of Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein were correlated with prognosis of pediatric medulloblastoma(all P <0.05).Cox regression indicated that the age,pathological subtypes and the expression of Gli -1 protein were independent prognostic indicators in pediatric medulloblastoma(all P <0.05).Conclusion Expression of Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein is significantly correlated with the prognosis of medulloblastoma,and the positive expression is a marker of unfavorable prognosis.

Objective To analyze the risk factors and correlation between clinical indicators and the four main pathological lesions of IgA ne?phropathy in the Oxford classification:mesangial hypercellularity(M0/1),endocapillary proliferation(E0/1),segmental sclerosis or adhesion(S0/1), and tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis(T0/1/2). Methods Clinical and pathological data were collected from 514 patients with biopsy?proven IgA nephropathy admitted in our hospital from February 17,2006 to October 11,2011. These patients were all above 18 years old. Cases with sec?ondary causes of mesangial IgA deposition were excluded,such as Henoch?chonlein purpura,ankylosing spondylitis and psoriasis et al. The inde?pendent risk factors affecting the pathological classification were analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis and two?category and multi?classi?fication logistic regression using SPSS 17.0 statistical software. Results In 514 IgAN patients,the ratio of males to females was 1.06:1. The aver?age age was 35.70±11.99 years,and the average disease duration was 18.31±30.42 months. M0E0S0T0 was the major pathologic classification of isolated hematuria. Chronic kidney disease(CKD)stage,24 hours proteinuria,albuminuria,urine transferrin and IgG levels were positively corre? lated with M lesion;serum albumin,C3 and PLT showed a negative correlation with M lesion. Twenty four hours proteinuria and blood platelet count were the independent risk factors for M lesion. As shown by stratified analysis ,the proportion of M1 in cases with 24 hours proteinuria≥3.5 g/d is much higher than that in cases with non?nephrotic range proteinuria. Age,systolic blood pressure,uRBC,24 hours proteinuria,albuminuria urine transferrin and IgG levels were positively correlated with E lesion,Duration,serum albumin showed a negative correlation with E lesion. Age and duration of nephritis were independent risk factors for E lesion. 73.3%of patients that above 60 years old showed endothelial proliferation. CKD stage,24 hours proteinuria were positively correlated with S lesion. Age,CKD stage,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,C4,TC, LDL?C,CRP,Fib,UA,Cys?C and 24 hours proteinuria,urineβ2?microglobulin,albumin,transferrin and IgG levels were positively associated with T lesion;hemoglobin,serum albumin,serum IgG showed a negative correlation with T lesion. Infection history,high CRP levels,DBP more than 90 mmHg,hypoalbuminemia,high low density lipoproteinemia,and anemia were independent risk factors for T lesion. Conclusion Twenty four hours proteinuria,blood platelet count,age,duration of nephritis,hypoalbuminemia,anemia,hyperlipidemia,DBP≥90 mmHg and high CRP lev?els were risk factors for the Oxford classification of IgA nephropathy. Renal biopsy should be carried out in time to make clear the pathological clas?sification and individual treatment,so as to improve the prognosis.

Objective To explore the pathogens and clinical characterization of hand,foot and mouth disease (HFMD)in Huzhou city from 2013 to 2014. Methods All 253 specimens included 208 stool specimens and 45 throat swabs,and clinical data from 208 children cases with hand,foot and mouth diseases (HFMD)were collected. Preliminary de-tection for all of the specimens was performed by one-step triple real-time RT-PCR assay. Results Real-time RT-PCR assay indicated that the positive rate of Enterovirus(EV)from 208 cases was 83.17%(173/208),and the percent-ages of EV71,CoxA16 and other's EV subtypes in 173 enteroviruses were 55.49%,13.29%and 31.21%,respectively. These results were not significant differences between male and female children. EV71 from children with HFMD was predominant strain below 5 old years (≤5),and other's EV subtypes were predominant strains over 5 years (>5). Of fever with herpes was main clinical symptom in patients with HFMD,and EV71 was primary enterovirus induced many clinical features, such as fever with herpes or vomiting or neurological symptoms and so on. Additionally, detection rate of EV in stool specimens was significant higher than that in throat swabs. Conclusion EV71 and other's EV sub-types are predominant strains, CoxA16 strains have a downtrend in patients with HFMD in Huzhou city, so that the medical workers should improve the ability of surveillance to EV,EV71 and CoxA16 in order to make better for control and prevention of the HFMD diseases.
