BACKGROUND:Studies have found that liver cels can synthesize insulin after giving pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX1) gene. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody can inhibit the immune reaction of insulin-producing liver cels, but the mechanism is unclear. OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence of interleukin-10 gene on liver cels and liver PDX1 expression in nonobese diabetic mice after interfered by adenovirus vector-mediated murine interleukin-10 and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. METHOD:Forty nonobese diabetic female mice aged 3-5 weeks were randomly divided into anti-CD20, anti-CD20 + interleukin-10, interleukin, and control groups. Mice in each group were respectively injected with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody + adenovirus vector-mediated murine interleukin-10, adenovirus vector-mediated murine interleukin-10 and normal saline on days 1, 8, 15 and 21via tail vein. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 12 weeks, the blood glucose level of mice treated with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and/or interleukin-10 was significantly reduced compared with the control group, while the insulin, interleukin-10 and CD20 expression levels in the serum and liver were significantly increased, the liver PDX1 expression was also upregulated. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody with interleukin-10 had more obvious effects than the single use. No matter the combined intervention or single use, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and interleukin-10 show no impact on the inflammation of liver cels. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and/or interleukin-10 increases PDX1 expression in nonobese diabetic mice.

Objective To evaluate mini-dose pre-injection test in the use of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CEMRA), and to inspect the possibility of contrast medium peak-time prediction by age, body weight and heart rate.Methods The data from mini-dose pre-injection test of contrast medium before vertebral artery CEMRA were retrospectively reviewed in 55 patients. The linear correlation and regression of the data including age, body weight, heart rate, and the reaching-time, peak-value-time, duration and peak-value-signal of contrast medium was performed by using SPSS software.Results The age (n=55, =62 years old, M=59 years old), body weight (n=55, = 63 kg), heart rate (n=40, =73 beats per minute), peak-value-time (n=55,=17.5 seconds), peak signal intensity (n=55,=472), and duration of contrast (n=49,=10.35 seconds)were analyzed. No statistically significant correlation existed between peak-value-time of contrast medium and the age (r=0.231, t=1.728, P=0.090), body weight (r=0.118, t=0.865, P=0.392), and heart rate (r= -0.046, t=-0.284, P=0.776). The peak-value-time correlated negatively with peak signal intensity (r=-0.322, t=-2.56, P=0.016)and positively with duration of contrast (r=0.658, t=5.99, P=0.000). The peak signal intensity was negatively correlated with body weight(r=-0.356, t=-2.77, P=0.008). The linear regression analysis show b=-0.284, t=-2.285, P=0.026 between peak-value-signal and peak-value-time, b=-0.322, t=2.590, P=0.012 between peak-value-signal and body weight.Conclusion Mini-dose pre-injection test was more helpful to adjust the rate of contrast medium injection and determine the time delay during scanning. But the prediction of contrast peak-time based on age, body weight and heart rate was unreliable.

The clinical electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring systems based on personal computer system can not meet the requirements of portability and home usage. The epilepsy patients have to be monitored in hospital for an extended period of time, which imposes a heavy burden on hospitals. In the present study, we designed a portable 16-lead networked monitoring system based on the Android smart phone. The system uses some technologies including the active electrode, the WiFi wireless transmission, the multi-scale permutation entropy (MPE) algorithm, the back-propagation (BP) neural network algorithm, etc. Moreover, the software of Android mobile application can realize the processing and analysis of EEG data, the display of EEG waveform and the alarm of epileptic seizure. The system has been tested on the mobile phones with Android 2. 3 operating system or higher version and the results showed that this software ran accurately and steadily in the detection of epileptic seizure. In conclusion, this paper provides a portable and reliable solution for epileptic seizure monitoring in clinical and home applications.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of osimertinib combined with bevacizumab in treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M positive.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 83 EGFR T790M-positive advanced NSCLC patients who were admitted to Anhui Chest Hospital from April 2018 to December 2020. The patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group using random number table method. Among them, 41 cases in the control group were treated with osimertinib, while 42 cases in the observation group were treated with osimertinib combined with bevacizumab. The clinical efficacy, tumor markers [carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), serum neuron specific enolase (NSE)] levels, tumor vascular associated protein factor (S100β protein) level and adverse reactions between the two groups after 3 months of treatment were compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves, and the 1-year survival status of patients in the two groups was compared.Results:The disease control rate in the observation group was 69.05% (29/42), which was higher than that in the control group [43.90% (18/41)] ( χ2 = 5.34, P = 0.021), but there was no statistical difference in the objective response rate between the two groups [33.33% (14/42) vs. 21.95% (9/41)] ( χ2 = 1.34, P = 0.247). After treatment, the serum levels of CEA [(19.9±3.6) μg/ml vs. (79.3±7.9) μg/ml, (27.8±4.8) μg/ml vs. (78.6±8.1) μg/ml] and NSE [(18.9±3.2) ng/ml vs. (27.2±5.0) ng/ml, (22.0±3.3) ng/ml vs. (26.1±4.8) ng/ml] in the observation group and control group were lower than those before treatment (all P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in CEA and NSE levels between the two groups before treatment (both P > 0.05), and after treatment, the observation group was lower than the control group (both P < 0.001). The serum S100β levels of patients in the observation and control groups after treatment were all higher than those before treatment [(50±5) μg/ml vs.(44±5) μg/ml, (55±4) μg/ml vs. (45±6) μg/ml, both P = 0.001), and the difference in S100β level between the two groups before treatment was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05), and after treatment, the observation group was lower than the control group ( P < 0.001). Both groups of patients did not experience acute severe adverse reactions during the medication period. There were no statistical differences between the observation group and the control group in the incidence rates of nausea and vomiting [9.52% (4/42) vs. 7.32% (3/41)], constipation and diarrhea [4.76% (2/42) vs. 4.88% (2/41)], thrombocytopenia [9.52% (4/42) vs. 4.88% (2/41)], and liver function damage [7.14% (3/42) vs. 2.44% (1/41)] (all P > 0.05). The 1-year overall survival rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group [68.3% (95% CI 47.9%-86.1%) vs. 41.0% (95% CI 22.4%-65.3%)], and the overall survival of the observation group was better than that of the control group ( χ2 = 2.60, P = 0.037). Conclusions:The combination of osimertinib and bevacizumab in treatment of EGFR T790M-positive advanced NSCLC can effectively regulate the levels of tumor related factors, with good efficacy and safety.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of danusertib (Danu), an inhibitor of Aurora kinase, on the proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and autophagy of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells and explore the underlying mechanisms.
METHODS:
MTT assay was used to examine the effect of Danu on the viability of HepG2 cells to determine the IC50 of Danu. The effect of Danu on cell cycle distribution, apoptosis and autophagy were determined using flow cytometry. Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of the proteins related to cell cycle, apoptosis and autophagy. Chloroquine was used to suppress Danuinduced autophagy to test the apoptosis-inducing effect of Danu.
RESULTS:
Danu significantly inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells with IC of 39.4 μmol and 14.4 μmol at 24 h and 48 h, respectively. Danu caused cell cycle arrest in G/M phase in HepG2 cells and led to polyploidy accumulation via up-regulating the expressions of p53 and p21 and down-regulating the expressions of cyclin B1 and DC2. Danu also caused apoptosis of HepG2 cells through up-regulating the expressions of Bax, Puma, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, cleaved PARP and cytochrome C and down-regulating the expressions of Bcl-xl and Bcl-2. Danu induced autophagy via activating AMPK signaling and inhibiting PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR axis, and inhibition of Danu-induced autophagy with chloroquine enhanced the pro-apoptotic effect of Danu.
CONCLUSIONS
Danu inhibits cell proliferation and induces cell cycle arrest in G/M phase, apoptosis and cytoprotective autophagy in HepG2 cells.
