Objective:
To improve the N biomarker in the amyloid/taueurodegeneration system by radiomics and study its value for predicting cognitive progression in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Materials and Methods:
A group of 147 healthy controls (HCs) (72 male; mean age ± standard deviation, 73.7 ± 6.3 years), 197 patients with MCI (114 male; 72.2 ± 7.1 years), and 128 patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (74 male; 73.7 ± 8.4 years) were included. Optimal A, T, and N biomarkers for discriminating HC and AD were selected using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. A radiomics model containing comprehensive information of the whole cerebral cortex and deep nuclei was established to create a new N biomarker. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers were evaluated to determine the optimal A or T biomarkers. All MCI patients were followed up until AD conversion or for at least 60 months. The predictive value of A, T, and the radiomics-based N biomarker for cognitive progression of MCI to AD were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates and the log-rank test.
Results:
The radiomics-based N biomarker showed an ROC curve area of 0.998 for discriminating between AD and HC. CSF Aβ42 and p-tau proteins were identified as the optimal A and T biomarkers, respectively. For MCI patients on the Alzheimer’s continuum, isolated A+ was an indicator of cognitive stability, while abnormalities of T and N, separately or simultaneously, indicated a high risk of progression. For MCI patients with suspected non-Alzheimer’s disease pathophysiology, isolated T+ indicated cognitive stability, while the appearance of the radiomics-based N+ indicated a high risk of progression to AD.
Conclusion
We proposed a new radiomics-based improved N biomarker that could help identify patients with MCI who are at a higher risk for cognitive progression. In addition, we clarified the value of a single A/T/N biomarker for predicting the cognitive progression of MCI.

Objective:To investigate the effect of adenovirus-mediated short hairpin RNA (shRNA) downregulating SH2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) on the apoptosis of human hepatic stellate cells LX-2 cultured in vitro.Methods:The recombinant adenovirus Ad-shRNA/SHP2 carrying shRNA targeted SHP2 and expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP), and the empty control virus Ad-GFP expressing GFP were transfected into LX-2 cells cultured in vitro. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect SHP2 mRNA expression in LX-2 cells. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of SHP2, Bax, and Bcl-2 in LX-2 cells. TUNEL and annexin-V/propidium iodide dual-labeled flow cytometry were used to detect apoptosis in LX-2 cells. Experimental group: (1) Control group: LX-2 cells were transfected with DMEM instead of adenovirus; (2) Ad-GFP group: transfected with empty virus Ad-GFP; (3) Ad-shRNA/SHP2 group: transfected with recombinant adenovirus Ad-shRNA/SHP2. The means between multiple groups were compared using a one-way ANOVA and the LSD test was used for inter group comparisons.Results:shRNA-targeted SHP2 significantly down-regulated the expression of SHP2 protein and mRNA in LX-2 cells ( P < 0.05). The TUNEL and annexin-V/propidium iodide dual-labeled flow cytometry results showed that the apoptosis rate of LX-2 cells in the Ad-shRNA/SHP2 group (12.755%±1.606%, 19.340%±2.505%) ( P < 0.05) was significantly higher compared to the control group (3.077%±0.731%, 9.438%±0.804%) and the Ad-GFP group (3.250%±0.851%, 8.893%±1.982%), with no statistically significant difference between the control group and the Ad-GFP group ( P > 0.05). Western blot analysis of Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression in LX-2 cells of each group revealed that the Bax protein expression was significantly higher in the Ad shRNA/SHP2 group (2.493 ± 0.203) ( P < 0.05) compared to the control group and Ad-GFP group (1.989 ± 0.147, 1.999 ± 0.162), with no statistically significant difference between the control group and the Ad-GFP group ( P > 0.05), while the Bcl-2 protein was significantly decreased in the Ad-shRNA/SHP2 group (1.042±0.148) compared with the control group and the Ad-GFP group (1.707±0.146, 1.521±0.142), with no statistically significant difference between the control group and the Ad-GFP group ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:SHP2 expression down-regulation induces apoptosis of human hepatic stellate cells LX-2 in vitro by reducing Bcl-2/Bax.

Objective:To investigate the distribution rules of artemisia pollen and the clinical sensitization characteristics of allergic rhinitis (AR) induced by artemisia pollen in three urban and rural areas of Inner Mongolia.Methods:From March to October 2019, in 3 central cities (Chifeng, Hohhot, Ordos) and rural areas of Inner Mongolia, an epidemiological investigation method combining multi-stage stratified random sampling and face-to-face questionnaire survey was adopted to screen suspected AR patients, and skin prick test (SPT) was applied for diagnosis. At the same time, pollen monitoring was carried out in 3 areas to analyze the distribution and clinical sensitization characteristics of artemisia pollen.SPSS26.0 statistical software was used to process all the data. Chi-square test was used to compare rates among different age, sex, region and nationality, Spearman test was used to describe correlation analysis, and pairwise comparison of positive rates among multiple samples was used Bonferroni method.Results:Among the 6 393 subjects, 1 093 cases were diagnosed with AR, and the prevalence of AR was 17.10% (1 093/6 393). Among them, pollen-induced allergic rhinitis, the prevalence of PiAR was 10.97% (701/6 393), accounting for 64.14%(701/1 093).The highest incidence was in the youth group (20-39 years old), accounting for 46.94% (329/701).The diagnosed prevalence was higher in females than in males (11.35% vs. 10.64%, χ2 value 12.304, P<0.001).The prevalence rate of ethnic minority was higher than that of Han nationality (13.01% vs. 10.65%, χ2 value 6.296, P=0.008).The prevalence in urban areas was also significantly higher than that in rural areas (18.40% vs. 5.50%, χ2 value 10.497, P<0.001).There was significant difference in prevalence rate among the three regions in Inner Mongolia (6.06% in Chifeng, 13.46% in Hohhot, 16.39% in Ordos, χ2 value 70.054, P<0.001).The main clinical symptoms of artemisia PiAR were sneezing (95.58%), nasal congestion (91.73%) and nasal itching (89.30%).Allergic conjunctivitis accounted for 79.60% (558/701), chronic sinusitis for 55.63% (390/701), asthma for 23.25% (163/701).The pattern of artemisia pollen sensitization was mainly multiple sensitization, and the frequency of clinical symptoms and clinical diseases induced by hypersensitization with other allergens accounted for more than that caused by single artemisia pollen. The spread period of Artemisia pollen in the three regions was from June to October, and the peak state was in August in summer. The peak time of clinical symptoms in artemisia PiAR patients was about 2 weeks earlier than the peak time of pollen concentration, and the two were significantly positively correlated ( R=0.7671, P<0.001). Conclusion:Artemisia pollens are the dominant pollens in late summer and early autumn in Inner Mongolia, and the prevalence of artemisia PiAR is high. Controlling the spread of Artemisia pollens is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of AR.

To evaluate the application of midpalatal cortex osteotomy assisted rapid maxillary expansion for correction of maxillary transverse deficiency in young adults.Fourteen young adult patients with maxillary transverse deficiency were treated with midpalatal cortex osteotomy assisted rapid maxillary expansion. Lateral cephalogram and cone beam CT (CBCT) were taken before and 3 months after treatment. The width of basal bone, arch of maxilla and the torque of anchorage teeth were compared before and after treatment.The width of dental arch of maxilla was increased from 40.54±5.26 mm before treatment to 46.83±5.83 mm after treatment (<0.05) and the width of basal bone was increased from 64.86±4.16 mm to 67.60±4.66 mm (<0.05) at the plane of the maxillary first molars. Accordingly, the width of dental arch of maxilla was increased from 31.92±2.55 mm to 38.65±3.14 mm (<0.05) and the width of basal bone was increased from 43.33±3.70 mm to 45.78±4.57 mm (<0.05) at the plane of first premolar. And the torque of maxillary anchorage teeth were increased (<0.05).Midpalatal cortex osteotomy assisted rapid maxillary expansion is an effective micro-invasive method in expansion of basal bone and arch of maxilla for young adult patients with maxillary transverse deficiency.
