Objective To investigate the effect of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) on serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 levels in acute heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods A total of 106 patients with acute HFrEF were selected, and were divided randomly into control group and trial group. The control group was under routine treatment, while the trial group was under routine treatment combined with lyophiluzed recombinant human BNP for 24-hour. Cardiac functional parameters were measured by echocardiography both at the enrollment and the end of 7-day treatment. Serum levels of ACE2 and N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) were determined using commercially available ELISA kits at the enrollment, the end of 24-hour treatment, and the end of 7-day treatment,respectively. Results A total of 103 patients with acute HFrEF were enrolled (control group=51, trial group=52). There were no significant differences in the use of drugs (e.g., aspirin) and serum biochemical indices (e.g. cardiac troponin I, creatinine) before treatment between these two groups. Compared to systolic blood pressure (SBP) at admission, SBP on the second day after treatment were significantly decreased in two groups (P<0.05). Compared to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at admission, LVEF values were significantly elevated on the seventh day after treatment in two groups ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in SBP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and LVEF at admission between these two groups (P>0.05);there were also no significant differences in DBP on the second day after treatment, and LVEF on the seventh day after treatment (P>0.05), while SBP was significantly higher on the second day after treatment in control group than that of trial group (P < 0.05). Serum levels of NT-proBNP were decreased with the prolongation of time in two groups. Serum levels of ACE2 were decreased with the prolongation of time in control group, while were increased initially following decreased (which were still higher on the seventh day after treatment than that at admission) with the prolongation of time in trial group. Serum levels of NT-proBNP were higher after 2 days treatment or 7 days of treatment in control group than those of trial group, while serum levels of ACE2 were decreased after 2 days of treatment or 7 days of treatment in control group than those of trial group (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with acute HFrEF may benefit from BNP by increasing serum ACE2 levels.

Objective To study whether Helicobacter pylori CagA protein can control gastrin gene expression and the detailed mechanism. Methods First, pcDNA3. 1ZEO (-)/cagA7 was transfected into gastric cancer cell lines AGS and SGC-7901 cells. At the same time, culturing the Helicobacter pylori NCTC11637 and infecting AGS and SGC-7901 cells with it. Next, in the infected and transfecled AGS and SGC-7901 cells, respectively adding the JAK2 signaling pathway inhibitor AG490 and the ERK signaling pathway inhibitor U0126 to inhibit the two signaling pathway. Untreated gastric cancer cells and empty vector transfected cells as the control. Using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR to detect the levels of gastrin mRNA in transfected and infected cells. Results After AGS and SGC-7901 cells were transfected with pcDNA3. lZE0(-)/cagA7 and infected with NCTC11637, the results showed that the expression of gastrin mRNA increased significantly (P < 0. 05) in transfected and infected cells as compared with the control group, but after adding the inhibitor AG490 and U0126 respectively, the expression of gastrin mRNA decreased significantly(P<0.05). Conclution These results suggest that CagA may up-regulate the expression of the gastrin gene, and CagA is one of the important proteins in regulating gastrin gene expression. The ERK/MAPK and JAK/STAT signaling pathways may be involved in controlling of gastrin gene expression by CagA.

Objective:To explore the value of the quantitative fecal immunochemical test (FIT) for primary colorectal cancer screening in health check-up population.Methods:A total of 468 health check-up participants who underwent quantitative FIT and colonoscopy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled into this study. The participants were divided into two groups-the negative group(FIT<100 μg/L)and the positive group(FIT≥100 μg/L) according to the results of the quantitative FIT. We compared the detection rate of colorectal polyps and colorectal advanced cancer between the two groups, and analyzed the sensitivity and specificity of the quantitative FIT for advanced colorectal cancer and the risk factors of colorectal polyps.Results:The positive rate of quantitative FIT in the healthy population was about 4.6% (95% CI: 4.27%-4.93%). The detection rate of colorectal polyps in the positive group was significantly higher than that of the negative group (51.53%, 95% CI: 45.81%-57.25%) vs (34.28%, 95% CI: 27.25%-41.31%, P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of the quantitative FIT for advanced colorectal cancer was 98.55% and 56.77%, respectively. The positive predictive value of the quantitative FIT for advanced colorectal cancer was 50.37%, while the negative predictive value was 98.88%. With the increase of FIT value, the detection rate of advanced cancer was increased (χ2 =20.08, P<0.001). The multivariate logistic regression of colorectal cancer suggested that the risk of colorectal polyps in patients with a history of diabetes was significantly higher ( OR=3.28, 95% CI: 1.45-7.41, P=0.004); the risk of colorectal polyps in men was also significantly higher ( OR=3.05, 95% CI: 1.40-6.65, P=0.005). Conclusions:Quantitative FIT is an ideal non-invasive examination for primary colorectal cancer screening for a health check-up population. Patients with negative FIT are less likely to develop colorectal cancer. Diabetes history, male, and age are independent risk factors for colorectal cancer.
