Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(24):-
BACKGROUND: Heat shock protein70 (HSP70) can improve body's ability for high temperature tolerance, and protect cell structure induced by various stresses, such as energy loss and ischemia, which all means HSP70 is the basic of body survive in normal and high temperatures. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the mechanism of HSP70 heat tolerance obtaining and the cause of HSP70 different responses to different exercises. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: A computer-based search of PubMed database and Wanfang database was undertaken to identify the articles published from January 1994 to October 2007 with the keywords of "HSP70, Heat Tolerance, Sports Stress" in both Chinese and English. Totally 533 articles were retrieved manually. Inclusive criteria: ①original articles with reliable arguments and evidences, ②articles with clear viewpoint and all-round analysis, ③main contents of the articles were closely connected with this topic. Excusive criteria: articles with unreasonable design and reviews with indefinite viewpoint. Totally 166 articles met the inclusive criteria were included. After the document refinement, 5 Chinese articles and 32 English articles were involved. LITERATURE EVALUATION: Totally 166 article were classified and sorted, and 37 of them served as references, including 8 review articles and 29 human and animal experiments, which was consisted of 12 articles of HAP70 heat tolerance and regulation, 17 articles of the exercise and HSP70 response. DATA SYNTHESIS: The cells of all tissues react to various stresses through the quick synthesization of HSPs. As the most important HSPs family, HSP70 has the highest temperature sensitivity and conservation. Many studies have proved that, HSP70 can improve the cell or organism's ability of heat tolerance, and protect the cell structure induced by various stresses, such as heat stress, hypoxia and infection. Acute exercise induces HSP70 increasing, and the response of HSP70 may depend on the exercise intensity; While a long-term training decreases HSP70's response to acute exercise, which may mean the adaption of body to exercise. CONCLUSION: HSP70 can make the cell obtaining heat tolerance when the stress comes again, through chaperones function, anti-oxidation function, cooperating with immunity function and anti-apoptosis function, which is a possible reason for the adaption of bodies to the long-term training. Acute exercise and long-term training may have different effects on HSP70 response, and age may be an important factor.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2017;21(12):1959-1968
BACKGROUND:Network medical research contains various widely applicable networks with different structures, and construction methods. These networks are not organized in architecture yet, and there is a lack of overview about its application and research progress. OBJECTIVE:To organize various medical networks to a hierarchical architecture, and summarize their research progress. METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed for articles about the network medicine published between 1999 and 2016 using the keywords ofdisease network, protein interaction network, metabolic network, gene regulatoryin English and Chinese, respectively. Then the main research contents, module property, construction methods, maturity and application progress of network medicine were discussed to predict the research direction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The architecture of network medicine consists of molecular interaction network layer (interactome), disease network layer (diseasome) and drug network layer (drugome). In the interactome, protein-protein interaction network, metabolic network and gene regulatory network are in the order of organisms → mammals →human, and respective networks of human have been mapped but not mature;and new networks are being built. In diseasome, many disease networks have been constructed using a single element to cluster;and cluster by new element or combined elements can be considered in the future. Given this the current pharmacology is based on protein, there are few networks in the drugome the elements that constitute the drugome are only drug and protein.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of entecavir combined with antituberculosis therapy in patients with tuberculosis complicated by chronic HBV infection. MethodsA total of 108 patients with tuberculosis complicated by chronic HBV infection were divided into entecavir group with 58 patients and control group with 50 patients. The patients in the entecavir group were given entecavir from 1 month before antituberculosis therapy to the end of antituberculosis therapy, and those in the control group were given antitubercular agent alone. The incidence of liver injury and clinical symptoms, time to appearance of abnormal liver function, and time to liver function recovery were compared between the two groups. The two-independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsCompared with the control group, the entecavir group had significantly higher incidence rates of abnormal liver function (29.31% vs 64.00%, χ2=8.475, P<0.05) and clinical symptoms of liver injury (17.24% vs 28.00%, χ2=5.534, P<0.05). There were significant differences in the time to appearance of abnormal liver function (25.1±10.2 d vs 20.1±8.9 d, t=2.675, P<0.05) and time to liver function recovery (26.5±9.8 d vs 32.6±11.2 d, t=3.778, P<0.05). ConclusionEntecavir can significantly reduce the incidence of liver injury caused by antituberculosis therapy, postpone the time to appearance of liver injury, and accelerate liver function recovery in patients with tuberculosis complicated by chronic HBV infection.

BACKGROUND: The proliferation of peripheral blood stem cells among peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) invitro remains unclear. There is no optimal marker for tracing PBMCs transplanted in vivo.OBJECTIVE: To observe the degree of PBMC proliferation in stem cell medium by EdU labeling and to explore thefeasibility of EdU-labeled peripheral blood stem cells.METHODS: New Zealand rabbit PBMCs were isolated and cultured for 1 to 5 days in stem cell medium supplementedwith EdU. The cells were observed and counted at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days in culture. The cells were harvested at eachtime point and stained with EdU fluorescent reagents. Then, confocal microscopy and flow cytometry were used to detectEdU-labeled cells.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Freshly isolated rabbit PBMCs were rounded and showed clear outline. After 1 dayculture, most of the cells were suspended in the medium, spherical or round. There were also a few cell clusters andadherent cells scattered in a triangle or polygon shape; after 2 days culture, more cell debris were observed, and mostcells were round; when cultured for 3-5 days, increased cell debris, smaller cell mass and decreased cell densitysignificantly were observed. (2) With the prolongation of culture time, the cell count decreased gradually. (3) Whencultured for 1 day, EdU labeled cells in red were scattered. The number of cells marked with EdU red label increasedsignificantly at day 2 and remained unchanged after 3 days of culture. At 5 days of culture, the number of red cellsmarkedly decreased; the highest positive rate of EdU-labeled cells was (2.38±0.10)% at 2 days after culture. To conclude,these results showed that the proportion of proliferating cells in rabbit PBMCs was very low. EdU is capable of labelingproliferative cells among PBMCs.

PURPOSE: The Pipeline embolization device (PED) is approved in the USA for treating giant and large aneurysms arising from the petrous to superior hypophyseal segments of the internal carotid artery in patients older than 21 years of age. This study investigates off-label PED results in a large cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective, single-center review of all patients who had off-label PED surgery. RESULTS: Sixty-two aneurysms (48 patients) underwent off-label PED treatment from 2012–2017. There were 44 females and four males (age 21 to 75 years; mean/median, 54.3/55.0 years). The most common presenting symptom was headache (47/62, 75.8%). All aneurysms were in the anterior circulation. Aneurysm size ranged from 1.4 to 25.0 mm (mean/median, 7.6/6.9 mm). Fifty-two aneurysms had post-operative imaging with total/near-complete occlusion of 84.6% (44/52). Aneurysm-based operative near-term complication rate was 9.7% while there were no permanent complications. For aneurysms and headache, 86.7% improved/resolved after embo-surgery, and were four times more likely to have a better clinical outcome (resolved or improved symptoms) after surgery (odds ratio [OR], 4.333; P=0.0325). Left-sided aneurysms had a higher occlusion rate (OR, 20; P=0.0073). Hypertension (OR, 4.2; P=0.0332) and smoking (OR, 7; P=0.0155) were more prone towards aneurysm occlusion. Patients without a family history were 14 times more likely to have favorable imaging outcome (P=0.0405). There is no difference of occlusion rates between untreated and previously treated aneurysms (P=0.6894). Overall, occlusion rate decreased by 14% with an increase of aneurysm size by 1 mm (P=0.0283). CONCLUSION: For anterior circulation aneurysms, the off-label application of PED is as effective and safe as reported for on-label intracranial aneurysms.

Objective:To compare the effect and safety of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH)+double plasma molecular absorption (DPMA)+hemoperfusion (HP), CVVH+HP, and CVVH+plasma exchange (PE) in treatment of patient with severe wasp stings injury.Methods:Multicenter, historical cohort study and superiority test were used. From July 2020 to October 2022, patients with wasp sting injury and multiple organ damage admitted to the intensive care units (ICU) of five hospitals were consecutively screened and recruited into the CVVH+DPMA+HP group (intervention group). Propensity score matching was used to establish historical cohorts. Patients with severe wasp sting injury who hospitalized from January 2016 to June 2020 in each ICU were collected and matched 1∶1 with the intervention group, and divided into CVVH+HP group and CVVH+PE group according to their actual hemopurification protocols (historical control groups). The primary outcome was the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score on days 3 and 7 after initiation of treatment. Secondary outcomes included complications, length of ICU and hospital stays, and all-cause mortality. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression was used to analyze the prognosis of patients.Results:After propensity score matching, 56 patients in intervention group and each of the two historical control groups were matched successfully. There were no significant differences in age, gender, comorbidities, biochemical test indices and critical illness scores among the groups. After treatment, APACHE Ⅱ score markedly declined in all groups, and the decrease was faster in the intervention group; treatment with DPMA [hazard ratio ( HR) = 1.04, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.02-1.08, P = 0.00], the decreased levels of body temperature ( HR = 1.02, 95% CI was 1.00-1.03, P = 0.02), serum creatine kinase (CK; HR = 0.98, 95% CI was 0.96-1.00, P = 0.05) and myoglobin (MYO; HR = 2.88, 95% CI was 1.24-6.69, P = 0.01) were independent risk factors for APACHE Ⅱ score decline to the target value (15 scores). There were no significant differences in the incidence of bleeding complications, filter or perfusion thrombosis, blood pressure reduction, catheter-related infection and anaphylaxis among the groups. Conclusion:CVVH+DPMA+HP regimen can significantly reduce the APACHE Ⅱ score of patients with severe wasp sting injury, and the efficacy is superior to CVVH+HP and CVVH+PE regimens, with safety.

OBJECTIVETo establish a diet-induced obesity model in zebrafish larvae.
METHODSAt 7 days post-fertilization (dpf), 200 zebrafish larvae with normal development were randomly allocated to two groups with the feeding quantity of 30 mg per day (normal feeding group) or 180 mg per day (overfed group) for 20 days. The weight, length, BMI, triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TCH) of each group were measured. Whole-mount Oil Red O staining, frozen Oil Red O staining and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining were used to estimate the rate of hepatic steatosis and liver histology of the zebrafish. The dynamic change of hepatic lipid droplets and distribution of adipose tissue were observed with Nile Red staining in overfed zebrafish in vivo.
RESULTSThe weight, length, BMI and TG of overfed zebrafish were significantly increased compared with those in normal feeding group. Whole-mount Oil Red O staining showed that the percent of hepatic steatosis in overfed group (89.4%) was markedly higher than that in normal feeding group (20.7%). Macrovesicular steatosis was observed in the liver of the overfed larvae. Nile Red staining visualized hepatic lipid droplets and the distribution of larval adipose tissue, which increased with feeding time in the overfed zebrafish. Starving larvae showed depletion of fat and hepatic lipid, and adipose tissue was induced after refeeding.
CONCLUSIONSWe successfully established an diet-induced obesity model in zebrafish larva, in which Nile Red staining allows in vivo observation of the adipocytes and hepatic lipid droplets.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of population and the changes of disease spectrum in patients treated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ( ERCP ) . Methods Data of 20170 patients, who underwent ERCP in the First People' s Hospital of Hangzhou from May 2004 to February 2018, were enrolled in the retrospective analysis. According to the year of diagnosis and treatment,patients were divided into 2004-2008, 2009-2013, and 2014-2018 group; according to the postoperative diagnosis of ERCP, they were divided into biliary tract diseases ( including calculus, benign stenosis, malignant stenosis, and other causes ) and pancreatic diseases ( including acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic malignant tumor, and other causes ) group; and according to the age, they were divided into the younger age (0-18 years old), young and middle age (19-65 years old), old age (66-85 years old), and advanced age (>85 years old) group. Statistical analysis was performed in the different groups. Results Among the 20170 patients, there were 10260 males and 9910 females, with age of 62. 65± 17. 11 years. The proportion of the younger age group and the advanced age group was 1. 04%( 24/2308 ) , 1. 69% ( 127/7520 ) , 2. 39% ( 247/10342 ) , and 2. 95% ( 68/2308 ) , 4. 19%( 315/7520 ) , 6. 15% ( 636/10342 ) , respectively, in the 2004-2008, 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 subgroups, with a rising trend (P<0. 017). A total 20032 patients had a clear postoperative diagnosis, including 15618 ( 77. 97%) of biliary diseases and 4414 ( 22. 03%) of pancreatic diseases. Biliary stones accounted for the majority of biliary diseases (63. 2%, 9863/15618), and its proportion increased from 59. 9% ( 1191/1987 ) in 2004-2008 to 64. 5% ( 5118/7939 ) in 2014-2018 ( P= 0. 000 ) . Acute pancreatitis accounted for the majority of pancreatic diseases (67. 4%, 1973/4414), and its proportion increased from 52. 4% ( 162/309) in 2004-2008 to 69. 9% ( 1636/2340) in 2014-2018 ( P=0. 000) . The top 3 diseases in the younger group and the advanced age group were acute pancreatitis ( 32. 58%, 129/396) , biliary stones ( 25. 25%, 100/396 ) , chronic pancreatitis ( 22. 22%, 88/396 ) , and biliary stones (56. 46%, 568/1006), malignant biliary stenosis (12. 52%, 126/1006), benign biliary stricture ( 10. 34%, 104/1006) , respectively. Conclusion The main disease of patients receiving ERCP is biliary stone, and the proportion of acute pancreatitis is increased. The overall age of the patients is old, and the proportion of the elderly and underaged patients is gradually increasing. Biliary diseases and pancreatic diseases are the main diseases in elderly patients and younger patients, respectively.
