Objective To detect the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)and nu-clear factor(NF)-κB in hepatic tissues of the patients with chronic hepatitis B,and to analyze their correlation with the hepatic inflammatory activity and fibrosis degree.Methods The liver biopsy specimens from 66 pa-tients with hepatitis B and 10 non-hepatopathic controls were selected,and immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were used to detect ICAM-1 and NF-κB expression levels in different liver tissues.Results The positive rate of ICAM-1 and NF-κB expression in liver tissues of the patients with chronic hepatitis B was higher than that in normal liver tissues,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The expres-sion of ICAM-1 and NF-κB in the patients with hepatitis B was positively correlated with the inflammatory ac-tivity and fibrosis degree(r=0.493,0.496,P＜0.01;r=0.580,0.519,P＜0.01).Conclusion ICAM-1 and NF-κB in the patients with chronic hepatitis B are highly expressed,which is useful in judging the hepatic in-flammatory activity and fibrosis degree.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of serum Aspergillus fumigatus immunoglobulin G (IgG), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) galactomannan antigen test (GM test) and combined detection of the two methods in chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA). Methods:A total of 310 patients with suspected CPA who were hospitalized in Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were screened. BALF-GM test and serum Aspergillus fumigatus IgG were detected. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 151 confirmed or clinically diagnosed CPA patients were enrolled and 60 non-CPA cases were included as controls. The underlying diseases, clinical symptoms and imaging findings of the two groups were analyzed using case-control study. Statistical comparison was performed by chi-square test. The efficacies of BALF-GM test, serum Aspergillus fumigatus IgG test, and their combined detection for CPA were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve. Results:There were 130 confirmed cases and 21 clinically diagnosed cases among 151 patients with CPA, including 106 males (70.2%) with age of (54.6±15.5) years. The age of 60 non-CPA patients was (53.6±17.8) years, including 42 males (70.0%). The proportions of pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchiectasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the incidence of hemoptysis in CPA group were 79.47%(120/151), 86.09%(130/151), 26.49%(40/151) and 43.71%(66/151), respectively, which were all higher than those in non-CPA group (10.00%(6/60), 25.00%(15/60), 8.33%(5/60) and 11.67%(7/60), respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=86.14, 74.56, 8.44 and 19.48, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of interstitial lung disease in non-CPA group was 28.33%(17/60), which was higher than that in CPA group (2.65%, 4/151), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=31.61, P<0.001). The common imaging findings of CPA patients were pulmonary cavity (70.86%, 107/151), cavity inclusions (41.72%, 63/151) and lung damage (33.77%, 51/151). The specificity and sensitivity of serum Aspergillus fumigatus IgG for CPA diagnosis were 81.7% and 68.9%, respectively, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.753 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.681 to 0.825, P< 0.001). The specificity and sensitivity of BALF-GM test were 76.7% and 67.5%, respectively, and the AUC was 0.724 (95% CI 0.649 to 0.800, P<0.001). The specificity and sensitivity of the two methods in series combined detection were 95.0% and 44.4%, respectively, and those of the two methods in parallel detection were 60.3% and 94.5%, respectively. The AUC of the combined diagnosis of CPA by the two methods was 0.843 (95% CI 0.783 to 0.903, P<0.001). Conclusions:Serum Aspergillus fumigatus IgG combined with BALF-GM test has a good diagnostic efficacy for CPA. The detection of serum Aspergillus fumigatus IgG is non-invasive and highly specific, which is beneficial to the early diagnosis and treatment of CPA.

Rapid turnover of the intestinal epithelium is a critical strategy to balance the uptake of nutrients and defend against environmental insults, whereas inappropriate death promotes the spread of inflammation. PPARα is highly expressed in the small intestine and regulates the absorption of dietary lipids. However, as a key mediator of inflammation, the impact of intestinal PPARα signaling on cell death pathways is unknown. Here, we show that Pparα deficiency of intestinal epithelium up-regulates necroptosis signals, disrupts the gut vascular barrier, and promotes LPS translocation into the liver. Intestinal Pparα deficiency drives age-related hepatic steatosis and aggravates hepatic fibrosis induced by a high-fat plus high-sucrose diet (HFHS). PPARα levels correlate with TRIM38 and MLKL in the human ileum. Inhibition of PPARα up-regulates necroptosis signals in the intestinal organoids triggered by TNF-α and LPS stimuli via TRIM38/TRIF and CREB3L3/MLKL pathways. Butyric acid ameliorates hepatic steatosis induced by intestinal Pparα deficiency through the inhibition of necroptosis. Our data suggest that intestinal PPARα is essential for the maintenance of microenvironmental homeostasis and the spread of inflammation via the gut-liver axis.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of future orientation and academic engagement between perceived teacher support and academic procrastination in high school students.Methods:From December 2021 to February 2022, a survey was conducted on 550 high school students by the perceived teacher support questionnaire, the adolescent future orientation scale, the academic engagement scale, and the general procrastination scale-for student populations (GPS). Data were entered by EpiData 3.1 software, and SPSS 26.0 software was used to process and analyze the data by one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and Bootstrap method test.Results:The scores of perceived teacher support, future orientation, academic engagement and academic procrastination were (3.77±0.80), (3.22±0.48), (68.11±18.08) and (52.32±11.78) respectively.The results of correlation analysis showed that academic procrastination was negatively correlated with perceived teacher support, future orientation and academic engagement ( r=-0.32, -0.38, -0.49, all P<0.01), while perceived teacher support was positively correlated with future orientation and academic engagement ( r=0.40, 0.43, both P<0.01). Future orientation was positively correlated with academic engagement ( r=0.56, P<0.01). The mediating effect analysis showed that perceived teacher support had a significant direct effect on academic procrastination (effect value: -0.10, 95% CI =-0.19--0.02), accounting for 32.26% of the total effect.The mediating effect between perceived teacher support and academic procrastination was found between future orientation and academic engagement (effect value: -0.05, 95% CI =-0.09- -0.02; effect values: -0.09, 95% CI=-0.15--0.05), accounting for 16.13% and 29.03% of the total effect respectively.Future orientation and academic engagement had a chain mediating effect between perceived teacher support and academic procrastination (effect value: -0.07, 95% CI=-0.10--0.04), accounting for 22.58% of the total effect. Conclusion:Perceived teacher support can influence academic procrastination, not only through the direct path, but also through the indirect path of future orientation and academic engagement, as well as chain mediating path between these two variables.

Objective:To analyze the difference of clinical characteristics and outcomes of infants with moderate and severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome(PARDS)diagnosed according to baseline oxygenation index(OI) in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods:Second analysis of the data collected from the "Efficacy of pulmonary surfactant (PS) in the treatment of children with moderate and severe ARDS" program.Retrospectively compare of the differences in clinical data such as general condition, underlying diseases, OI, mechanical ventilation, PS administration and outcomes among infants with moderate and severe PARDS divided by baseline OI who admitted to PICUs at 14 participating tertiary hospitals from 2016 to December 2021.Results:Among the 101 cases, 55 cases (54.5%) were moderate and 46 cases (45.5%) were severe PARDS.The proportion of male in the severe group (50.0% vs.72.7%, P=0.019) and the pediatric critical illness score(PCIS)[72 (68, 78) vs.76 (70, 80), P=0.019] were significantly lower than those in the moderate group, while there was no significant difference regarding age, body weight, etiology of PARDS and underlying diseases.The utilization rate of high-frequency ventilator in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the moderate group (34.8% vs.10.9%, P=0.004), but there was no significant difference in PS use, fluid load and pulmonary complications.The 24 h OI improvement (0.26±0.33 vs.0.04±0.34, P=0.001) and the 72 h OI improvement[0.34 (-0.04, 0.62) vs.0.15 (-0.14, 0.42), P=0.029)]in the severe group were significantly better than those in the moderate group, but there was no significant difference regarding mortality, length of hospital stay and intubation duration after diagnosis of PARDS between the two groups. Conclusion:In moderate and severe(divided by baseline OI) PARDS infants with invasive mechanical ventilation, children in severe group have better oxygenation improvement in the early stage after PARDS identified and are more likely to receive high frequency ventilation compared to those in moderate group.Baseline OI can not sensitively distinguish the outcomes and is not an ideal index for PARDS grading of this kind of patient.

Objective : To investigate the outcomes of a novel direct pulp capping agent containing platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Methods : A total of 32 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely, the PRF+MTA group (P+M group), PRF group (P group), MTA group (M group) and blank control group (BC group), with 8 rabbits per group. Dental pulp exposure and direct pulp capping were performed, and complete crown square sealing was performed on 2 mandibular central incisor teeth of each rabbit. Four rabbits from each group were euthanized after each observation period (7 and 28 days). The experimental teeth were subjected to HE staining. Inflammatory cell infiltration, calcified bridge formation and pulp tissue disorganization were observed and graded. Results: Inflammatory cell infiltration: on the 7th day, group P+M and group M were lighter than group BC (P<0.05); on the 28th day, group P+M was lighter than group P and group BC (P<0.05); group P+M and group M did not significantly differ (P>0.05). Calcified bridge formation: on the 7th and 28th days, group P+M was lighter than group P, group M and group BC (P<0.05); on the 28th day, group M was higher than group BC (P<0.05). Under microscope, the calcified bridge contained cellular components and was surrounded by odontoblast-like cells, sharing a structure resembled osteodentin; dentin tubule-like structure could not be observed in calcified bridge, and the calcified bridge resembled certain points of osteodentin. Pulp tissue disorganization: on the 7th day, group P+M and group M were lighter than group BC (P<0.05); on the 28th day, group P+M was lighter than group P and group BC (P<0.05). group P+M and group M did not significantly differ (P>0.05). Conclusion The combination of PRF and MTA for direct pulp capping provided light inflammatory cell infiltration, stable pulp status and a strong ability of pulp tissue to form calcified bridge, and the calcified bridge resembled certain points of osteodentin.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features, treatment and prognosis of asparaginase (ASP) related cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST).Methods:Clinical profiles including age, sex, first symptoms, coagulation function, imaging findings, ASP type, treatment and prognosis of eight acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) children with ASP related CVST at the Department of Pediatrics, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from November 2016 to October 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Eight CVST children were all male, including 6 ALL and 2 LBL, with the onset age ranged from 5 to 15 years, 6 cases occurred in the stage of first induction remission, and the initial symptom were mainly epileptic seizures (7 cases). Magnetic resonance imaging combined magnetic resonance venography (MRV) showed the most common site of venous sinus enlargement was superior sagittal sinus (8 cases). Secondary cerebral hemorrhage was found in 5 cases. D-dimer elevated on the day of onset in all cases. Three patients were treated with intravascular mechanical thrombectomy and thrombolysis combined with anticoagulant therapy, 3 patients were treated with continuous anticoagulant therapy only, 2 patients were not treated with anticoagulant therapy. MRV follow-up for 3 months showed that the thrombi in patients were almost completely absorbed except in 2 patients who were not treated with anticoagulant therapy. Thrombolysis combined with anticoagulant therapy was the fastest way for thrombosis absorption. Among 8 patients, 1 died of early recurrence of ALL, and 7 patients accepted further asparaginase and no CVST recurrence or progression was found. There were no sequelae of nervous system except 1 patient with left upper limb muscle strength impairment.Conclusions:ASP related CVST is more common in older male children and the prognosis is good. ASP related CVST occurred mostly in the stage of first induction remission, and most initial manifestation is epileptic seizure. The superior sagittal region is a common site of thrombus, magnetic resonance imaging combined with MRV is helpful for accurately diagnosis. Timely anticoagulant treatment can improve the prognosis, and mechanical thrombectomy and thrombolysis can quickly recanalize the vessel.

Objective : To explore the "clinical normal reference range" of pulpal blood flow (PBF) in the physiological state in an effort to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods: According to the working principle and operational considerations of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), the PBF blood flow value of the first molars of the upper and lower mandibles of normal adults was detected by LDF, and the clinical reference value range under physiological conditions was analyzed and calculated. The differences in PBF values by sex, dental position and location (left and right side, upper and lower jaw) were analyzed. Results : A total of 200 normal adult participants with an average age of (22.76 ± 3.26) years were included. The cohort included 95 males and 105 females, with a total of 800 first molars. Neither the PBF values of the left and right first molars nor the PBF values of the upper and lower first molars in males or females significantly differed (P>0.05). The PBF value for females was higher than that of males. Specifically, the clinical reference PBF values for males and females were (8.56 ± 3.25) PU and (9.51 ± 3.47) PU, respectively. Conclusion The PBF values of normal adult first molars in healthy subjects were higher in females than in males, and in the PBF values of first molars of the same sex did not significantly differ between the left side and right side or upper and lower jaw; these values could be used as a reference for the selection of control teeth.
