To establish single- and double-transfected transgenic cells stably expressing hMATE1, hMATE1 cDNA was cloned by RT-PCR from human cryopreserved kidney tissue, and subcloned into pcDNA3.1(+) plasmid by virtue of both HindIII and Kpn I restriction enzyme sites. Subsequently, the recombined pcDNA3.1(+)- hMATE1 plasmid was transfected into MDCK, MDCK-hOCT1 or MDCK-hOCT2 cells using Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent. After a 14-day-cultivation with hygromycin B at the concentration of 400 µg · mL(-1), all clones were screened with DAPI and MPP+ as substrates to identify the best candidate. The mRNA content of hMATE1, the cellular accumulation of metformin with or without cimetidine as inhibitor, or transportation of cimetidine was further valuated. The results showed that all of the three cell models over expressed hMATE1 mRNA. The cellular accumulation of metformin in MDCK-hMATE1 was 17.6 folds of the control cell, which was significantly inhibited by 100 µmol · L(-1) cimetidine. The transcellular transport parameter net efflux ratios of cimetidine across MDCK-hOCT1/hMATE1 and MDCK-hOCT2/hMATE1 monolayer were 17.5 and 3.65, respectively. In conclusion, cell models with good hMATE1 function have been established successfully, which can be applied to study the drug transport or drug-drug interaction involving hMATE1 alone or together with hOCT1/2 in vitro.

Objective: To establish a prediction model for high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents aged 35 to 75 years, so as to provide the basis for improving CVD prevention and control measures. Methods: Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected from Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality using the stratified random sampling method from 2018 to 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a prediction model for high-risk CVD was established. The predictive effect was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: A total of 6 968 individuals were surveyed, including 2 821 males (40.49%) and 4 147 females (59.51%), and had a mean age of (59.92±9.33) years. There were 1 155 high-risk CVD population, with a detection rate of 16.58%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, central obesity, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the established prediction model was 0.849 (95%CI: 0.834-0.863), with a sensitivity of 0.693 and a specificity of 0.863, indicating good discrimination. Conclusion The model constructed by eight factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and blood biochemical indicators has good predictive value for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years.

Objective To explore the risk factors and clinicopathologic characteristics of severe hand,foot and mouth disease (HFMD),and to provide a scientific basis for clinical interventions.Methods The clinical data of 2606 hospitalized children with HFMD in Ningbo No.2 Hospital were analyzed retrospectively from January 2010 to December 2012.Clinical characteristics were compared between two groups (regular case group and severe case group),and risk factors of severe HFMD were analyzed by Logistic regression test.The clinicopathologic features were analyzed from an autopsy case.Results Among total 2606 cases,619 cases were severe HFMD (23.7％).Logistic regression test showed that EV71 infection,poor spirit,blood glucose ＞ 9 mmol/L,high fever (temperature ≥ 39.1 ℃) lasted more than three days,younger than 3 years and abnormal neural reflex were the independent risk factors of HFMD seriousness.The results of the autopsy showed that the central nervous system,lung and intestinal were most severely.Conclusion Attention should be paid to observe the condition changes in HFMD patients with EV71 infection,younger than 3 years,nervous system symptoms,blood glucose ＞ 9 mmol/L and high fever.Targeted clinical intervention is particularly important for improving cure rate,and the protection of intestinal function can't be ignored.

Objective To observe the efficacy of Asini Corii Colla for the treatment of women with pregnancy anemia induced by β-thalassemia and its effect on the expression of early growth response 2(EGR2).Methods Transcriptome sequencing(RNA-seq)was performed firstly.Twenty pregnant women with β-thalassemia were randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group at the proportion of 3:1.There were 15 cases allocated to the treatment group,one case fell off during the trial,and eventually 14 cases were included.The control group had 5 cases.The treatment group was given Asini Corii Colla powder orally,and the control group had no intervention.The course of treatment covered 4 weeks.The peripheral blood of the two groups of pregnant women was sampled before and after treatment for RNA-seq analysis,and then the candidate targets were defined.Subsequently,a prospective clinical randomized controlled trial(RCT)was conducted.A total of 41 pregnant women with β-thalassemia were randomly assigned to the treatment group(24 cases)and the control group(17 cases)at the proportion of 3:2.The treatment group was treated with Asini Corii Colla powder orally,and the control group was treated with the simulant of Asini Corii Colla Powder orally.The course of treatment covered 4 weeks.The hematological parameters of the two groups of pregnant women were detected before and after treatment,and the mRNA and protein expression levels of candidate targets were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction(real-time PCR)and western blotting respectively.Results(1)The results of RNA-seq analysis showed that EGR2 expression of patients with genotype βCD41-42(-TTCT)/βN in the treatment group was significantly up-regulated after treatment(log2 FC=1.915;Padj=9.84E-03),and EGR2 was named as the candidate target.(2)The results of RCT showed that after treatment,there was no significant difference in the average hemoglobin(Hb)concentration between the two groups of pregnant women with β-thalassemia(P＞0.05),but the average Hb of the patients with genotypeβCD41-42(-TTCT)/βN in the treatment group increased by(6.54±4.74)g/L,which was significantly higher than that of other genotypes of pregnant women with β-thalassemia(P＜0.05).The expression levels of EGR2 Mrna and protein in peripheral blood of the patients with genotypeβCD41-42(-TTCT)/Βn in the treatment group were significantly increased after treatment(P＜0.05).The pre-and post-treatment difference of Hb concentration in the two groups of pregnant women withβ-thalassemia was positively correlated with pre-and post-treatment difference of EGR2 Mrna level and EGR2 protein level,and the correlation coefficients were 0.701 and 0.683,respectively(P＜0.001).Conclusion The pregnant women with thalassemia of genotype Βcd41-42(-TTCT)/Βn can achieve satisfactory efficacy after oral administration of Asini Corii Colla.Its curative effect for improving anemia may be related to the transcriptional regulation of globin genes through up-regulating EGR2 expression,activating RNA polymerase Ⅱ promoter,and promoting nucleic acid binding.

Objective:To investigate the effect of minimally invasive treatment of mild to moderate hallux valgus using frequency conversion waterflood ultrasound extracapsular osteotomy.Methods:The data of patients with mild to moderate hallux valgus who were treated with frequency conversion waterflood ultrasound extracapsular osteotomy at Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Xuzhou Renci Hospital from August 2017 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. During the operation, the metatarsal bone was truncated outside the capsule of the medial joint of the first metatarsal head with frequency conversion waterflood ultrasound osteotomy to correct the hallux valgus deformity. The changes of hallux valgus angle (HVA), the first and second intermetatarsal angle (IMA), the distal articular surface angle of the first metatarsal bone (DMAA) and the range of motion(ROM) of the first metatarsophalangeal joint were compared before operation and at the last follow-up. The American Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot scoring system was used to evaluate the clinical effect. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as Mean±SD and analyzed by t-test. Results:A total of 32 patients (53 feet) were enrolled, including 6 males and 26 females; 28 left feet and 25 right feet; age (34.5±7.8) years old. All patients were followed up for (13.0±5.9) months. All osteotomy sites healed without metastatic metatarsalgia, infection and deformity recurrence. At the last follow-up, HVA, IMA, and DMAA were all improved compared with those before surgery [(11.25±1.59) ° vs. (33.45±4.45) °; (6.83±0.95) ° vs. (14.96±2.10) °; (6.26±1.92) ° vs. (23.64±4.72) °; all P<0.01], AOFAS forefoot score was significantly higher than that before operation (90.96±2.92 vs. 59.22±5.63, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the ROM of the first metatarsophalangeal joint before and after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of frequency conversion waterflood ultrasonic bone cutter combined with extracapsular osteotomy for minimally invasive treatment of mild to moderate hallux valgus has the advantages of small damage, inconspicuous scars, and reliable correction. It can be popularized in clinical practice.
