Objective To investigate the effects of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) on proliferation and collagen synthesis induced by angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ)in SD rat cardiac fibroblasts(CFbs),and determine the role it plays in hypertensive ventricular remodeling.Methods CFbs in SD rat were cultured in vitro and treated with different concentrations of AngⅡ and/or HGF.Collagen type Ⅰ synthesis of CFbs was measured by Western blotting,and proliferation of CFbs was detected by MTT assay. Results AngⅡ promoted collagen synthesis and proliferation in CFbs in a certain concentration range,which can be significantly inhibited by HGF. ConclusionHGF can inhibit the proliferation and collagen synthesis induced by AngⅡin SD rat CFbs,and may protect against hypertensive ventricular remodeling.

Abstract： Objective　To investigate the relationship between plasma exosomal microRNA (miRNA)-346 and treatment outcomes in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), to provide more reference basis for the treatment of MDR-TB patients. Methods　A total of 406 patients with MDR-TB admitted to Tuberculosis Control and Prevention Institute of Shaanxi Provincial between January 2018 and May 2021 were selected as the study subjects. General clinical data of the patients were collected and analyzed. The expression level of plasma exosomal miR-346 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The predictive value of plasma exosomal miR-346 for treatment outcome was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Furthermore, the relationship between the expression of plasma exosomal miR-346 and treatment outcome was analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. After standard treatment, patients were divided into good treatment outcome group (n=226) and poor treatment outcome group (n=180) according to the treatment outcome. Results　Typical exosomes were identified by transmission electron microscopy, particle size analysis and Western blot, that is, plasma exosomes were successfully extracted. In the poor treatment outcome group, more patients were complicated with diabetes or HIV infection, and the proportion of patients with pulmonary cavity, acid-fast bacilli smear positive rate >1+, previous treatment history and fluoroquinolone resistance was also significantly increased, and the levels of white blood cells, neutrophils, and monocytes were significantly increased, while the level of albumin was significantly decreased, with statistical significance (P>0.05). Compared with the good treatment outcome group [0.61 (0.46, 0.74)], the expression level of plasma exosomal miR-346 in the poor treatment outcome group [1.23 (0.60, 2.02)] was significantly higher (Z=-13.185, P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of plasma exosomal miR-346 to predict adverse outcomes of MDR-TB treatment was 0.881 (95%CI: 0.846-0.915), with a sensitivity of 78.3% and specificity of 86.7%. The corresponding cut-off value was 0.81. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes, AIDS virus infection, pulmonary cavity, AFB smear positive degree>1+, previous treatment history, fluoroquinolones resistance and high expression of plasma exosomal miR-346 were independent influencing factors for poor treatment results of MDR-TB (P<0.05). Conclusions　High expression of plasma exosomal miR-346 is associated with the high risk of adverse outcome of MDR-TB treatment, and it is promising to be a useful marker for predicting the outcome of MDR-TB treatment.

Objective:To explore the association between chest high resolution CT (HRCT) scoring and prognostic factors of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody-positive dermatomyositis (DM).Methods:The patients with DM admitted to Kailuan General Hospital between January 2017 and December 2019 were included into the study including 13 patients with positiveanti-MDA5 antibody (7 survivors, 6 deaths) and 18 patients with anti-synthase (ARS)-antibody positive. All patients underwent chest HRCT prior to treatment. The consolidation, ground-glass opacity (GGO) and fibrosis were scored to assess HRCT findings. The clinical manifestations were compared between the two groups. Cox regression analysis adjusted for age and sex was used to determine the prognostic factors for anti-MDA5 antibody-related ILD.Results:Compared with ARS patients, glutamyl transferase (GGT) and ferritin levels were significantly higher in MDA5-ILD patients [70.0(37.0, 122.5) vs 21.0(16.5, 33.5), Z=-3.37, P=0.001; 977.0(502.5, 1 366.0) vs 307.1(72.3, 546.9) , Z=-3.44, P=0.001]. The cumulative survival rate was significantly lower in patients with positive anti-MDA5 antibody than in those with positive anti-ARS antibody (100% vs 70%, P=0.001). The DM complicated with acute/subacute interstitial pneumonia (A/SIP) were found to significantly relate to death. There were no significant differences in chest HRCT scoringbetween the survivors and the deceased patients [ HR=1.08, 95% CI(0.95, 1.23), P=0.229; HR=0.97, 95% CI(0.72, 1.30), P=0.814]. Conclusion:Anti-MDA5 antibody is an important index for early diagnosis of DM complicated with acute/subacute interstitial pneumonia (A/SIP). The chest HRCT scoreis is not associated with the prognosis of anti-MDA5 antibody-related ILD patients.

Objective To evaluate five years results of laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK)for correction of myopia.Design Ret- rospective case series.Participant 64 patients(126 eyes)with myopia received operation of LASIK.Method 126 myopic eyes were treated with LASIK.Based on the preoperative spherical equivalent refraction(SER),the patients were divided into Group A,B and C(-3.00D～6.00D,-6.25D～-10.00D and -10.38D～-19.88D).Before and after operation,the visual acuity,refraction,anterior seg- ment,funduscopy,intraocular pressures of patients were measured,and the patients were followed-up five years.Main Outcome Measure Visual acuity,intraocular pressure,refraction and complication.Result At five years,in Group A,B,C,uncorrected visual acuity was≥1.0 in 87.2%,69.1%,31.3% patients,and 100%,98.2%,75% had vision of≥0.5.After five years of operation,the re- fraction was -0.70D?0.52D,-1.06?0.13D,-2.46?2.14D in three groups respectively,there was no significant difference between Group A and B(P=0.23);But there was significant statistical difference between Gruop A and C(P=0.008),Group B and C(P=0.021)respec- tively.At the fifth-year,68.3%,45.0% and 23.5% of refraction in Group A,B,C were within?1.00D.Intraocular pressure at the fifth year was 11.91?2.35mmHg,11.31?2.20 mmHg and 9.24?2.20 mmHg respectively.In Gruop B and C,one patient complained glare re- spectively.In Gruop B,one patient's intraecular pressure was elevated after using glueocorticoid.In Group C,one eye was complicated with rbegmatogenous retinal detachment at the second year after LASIK.Conclusion In the follow-up of five years,LASIK is effective and safe.The results in middle and high myopia are better than that in extreme high myopia.(Ophthalmol CHN,2006,15:312-314)
