Objective To study apoptosis and antigen presentation changes of monocytes in HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients under immune dysfunction state.Methods Peripheral blood samples of 26 HBV-related ACLF patients (ACLF group),20 active chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB group) and 18 healthy individuals (control group) were collected.The changes of apoptosis and proliferation (Ki67) in monocytes and the expression of surface markers including human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR and B7 molecules (CD86) of monocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results The percentage of Annexin V expressed monocytes of ACLF group (64%) was significantly higher than that of CHB group (28%) and control group (20%),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 value was 11.75 and 27.23 ; both P<0.01),which indicated that monocytes apoptosis increased.The Ki67 expression in monocytes of ACLF group was lower than that of CHB group and control group,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 value was 4.71 and 4.83; both P< 0.05),which indicated that activated monocytes reduced. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of HLA-DR and CD86 of monocytes in ACLF group was 22.85 and 11.63,which was significantly lower than that of CHB group and control group,indicating the antigen presentation ability of monocytes injured. The percentage of Annexin Ⅴ positive monocytes in survivals (62 % ) was significantly higher than that of dead patients (46 % ) in ACLF group.Conclusion In HBV-related ACLF patients under immune dysfunction state,the apoptosis of peripheral blood monocytes increased,and the quantity of activated cells reduced,resulting in the decline of the antigen presentation ability of monocytes.

Objective: To investigate the impact of improved AHA cardiovascular health behavior score (CHS) on short-time systemic blood pressure variability (SBPV) in elder population.
Methods: A total of 2464 participants ≥ 60 years from 3 hospitals of Kailuan area were taken for cohort study. The participants had no cardiovascular disease, not taking anti-psychotic drug, Parkinson treatment drug, anti-depression drug and analgesic drug within 2 weeks. All participants received 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and the 24-hour, day-time, night-time SBPV were deifned by the standard deviation of 24-hour, day-time, night-time systolic blood pressure. The influence of CHS on SBPV was studied by multi-linear regression analysis. Improved cardiovascular health behavior and factors implied as changing the vegetable intake amount to salt amount by American Humane Association, 2010; boundary of BMI based on《Guidelines for prevention of overweight and obesity in Chinese adults》; status of exercise was deifed as the ideal status: ≥80 min/week, general status: < 80 min/week and bad status: no exercise.
Results: Finally, 1812 participants were recruited for survey and they were divided into 3 groups according to improved CHS: Group①, CHS (0-4) points,n=56, Group②, CHS (5-9) pointsn=1600 and Group③, CHS (10-14) points,n=156. The 24-hour SBPV in Groups①,②and③were 16.02 mmHg, 14.91 mmHg and 13.18 mmHg; day-time SBPV were 15.42 mmHg, 14.50 mmHg and 13.22 mmHg; night-time SBPV were 12.68 mmHg, 11.44 mmHg and 10.16 mmHg, allP<0.05. Multi-linear regression analysis indicated that with adjusted confounding factors, with 1 point of CHS elevation, the 24 hour-, day-time, night-time SBPV would reduce for 0.20 mmHg, 0.19 mmHg and 0.37 mmHg respectively, allP<0.05.
Conclusion: CHS was negatively related to short-time SBPV in elder population.

Objective:To investigate the regulating molecules and acting mechanism of TAB182 in HR pathway.Methods:TAB182 in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells was knocked down by shRNA strategy, the TAB182 knockdown MCF-7 as the TAB182 knockdown group, and the MCF-7 cell using the shRNA negative control as the TAB182 negative control group. RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR were performed to screen and verify the differentially expressed genes of HR pathway related to TAB182 depression. Western blot was used to detect protein expression. Immunofluorescence staining of nuclear RAD51 and BrdU was used to check the 3′ ssDNA formation by the end resection. The cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. Cloning formation assay was used to evaluate the sensitivity TAB182-knockdown cells to radiation.Results:Both quantitative RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR assays showed that TAB182-knockdown significantly decreased the mRNA expression of RPA2( t=17.97, P<0.05). Compared with the TAB182 negative control group, the protein level of RPA2, the number of RAD51 foci, and the 3′ ssDNA-binding nuclear protein marker BrdU in TAB182-knockdown cells were significantly reduced. At 4, 8, and 12 h after actinomycin D treatment, the attenuation of RPA2 mRNA in the TAB182-knockdown cells was accelerated ( t=5.37, 3.79, 3.69, P<0.05). Compared with the TAB182 negative control group, the radiosensitivity and radiation-induced apoptosis in the TAB182-knockdown group were increased ( t=3.48, 11.05, P<0.05), and at 24 h after irradiation, the cell cycle block time was prolonged ( t=8.40, P<0.01). Conclusions:TAB182 plays a role in maintaining RPA2 mRNA stability, thereby promoting HR repair. TAB182 knockdown cells are highly sensitive to ionizing radiation.

OBJECTIVE:To synthesize 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid(PHPAA)molecular imprinted polymers(MIPs),and to provide reference for separation and enrichment of PHPAA in urine of cancer patients. METHODS:With PHPAA as template molecule and azobisisobutyronitrile as evocating agent,MIPs was synthesized by precipitation polymerization using 4-vinyl pyridine(4-V),acrylamide(AM),1-vinyl imidazole(1-V)and o-diaminobenzene as functional monomers,ethylene glycol dimethacrylate(EGDMA)and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate(TRIM)as crosslinking agent. Using scanning electron microscope,infrared spectrum,static adsorption test and molecular recognition performance test used adopted to characterize the structure and performance of MIPs. RESULTS:MIPs1(4-V,EGDMA)microspheres adhered seriously,and MIPs2(AM, EGDMA)microspheres are aggregated. MIPs3(1-V,TRIM),MIPs4(o-diaminobenzene,TRIM)microspheresare were dispersed and had good sphericity. Characteristic absorption peak of PHPAA was not found in infrared spectrum of MIPs. The adsorption capacity of each MIPs was higher than that of blank imprinted polymer without the template molecule,and increased as the increase of template molecular concentration. The adsorption capacity of MIPs3 was significantly higher than that of other MIPs,and its static distribution coefficient(0.14)of PHPAA was higher than that of other structural analogues [PHPA(0.06),TA(0.01)],selective separation factors of PHPAA to PHPA,PHPAA to TA were 2.3,11.5,respectively. CONCLUSIONS:MIPs synthesized with 1-V as functional monomer and TRIM as crosslinking agent has the ability of specific adsorption and selective recognition. It can used as solid phase extractant to separate and enrich low content of PHPAA in the urine of tumor patients.
