ObjectiveTo investigate the value of CD26/DPPⅣ or galectin-3 immunohistochemical staining and their combination in the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma. MethodsEnVision immunohistochemical technique was applied to detect the expressions of CD26/DPPⅣ and galectin-3 in thyroid tissue of 114 cases with benign or malignant thyroid tumors. ResultsCD26/DPPⅣ and galectin-3 were expressed in most of papillary carcinomas but absent in normal thyroid tissues, most of follicular carcinomas and thyroid adenomas. With CD26/DPPⅣ as means to detect papillary carcinoma, the sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and Kappa index were 86.8%, 97.2%, 90.4%, 98.3%, 79.5% and 0.80 respectively,andwithgalectin-3therespective figures were 97.1%, 91.7%, 95.2%, 95.7% , 94.3% and 0.89. With CD26/DPPⅣ and gelectin-3 combined, the sensitivity, specificity, Kappa index and others in papillary carcinoma were the same as those of galectin-3 in parallel test, and the same as those of CD26/DPPⅣ in serial test. ConclusionBoth CD26/DPPⅣ and galectin-3 are reliable markers of papillary carcinoma, CD26/DPPⅣ or galectin-3 immunohistochemical staining can be used as a supplement for conventional pathological diagnostic approach to differentiate thyroid papillary carcinomas from adenomas, while the application in the diagnosis of follicular thyroid carcinoma remains to be further investigated.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexamethasone on the toxicity of bupivacaine in murine neurons.Methods Murine neuroblastoma cell line N2a was obtained from ATCC cell bank (USA). The cells were cultured in 10% fetal cow serum/MEM culture medium and divided into 4 groups voup I control (Con); group II bupivacaine ( Bup); group Ⅲ dexamethasone (Dex) and group IV Dex + Bup. The culture medium contained bupivacaine 900 μmol/L in group Bup and dexamethasone 1 μmol/L in group Dex respectively. In group Dex + Bup ( IV ) Bup was added to the culture medium with a final concentration of 900 μmol/L at 12 h after pretreatment with Dex 1 μmol/L. The cells were inoculated in 24 well plates (0.5 ml in each well, 24 wells in each group) and 10 cm culture dishes (7 ml in each dish, 4 dishes in each group). The release rate of LDH was calculated and the morphology of the cells and nucleus condensation (by Hoechst 3334224 fluorescent staining) was detected at 9 h of incubation in 24 well plates. The mitochondrial transmembrane potential (by JC-1 assay) and phosphorylation of Akt and ERKs (by Western blot) were measured at 5 h of incubation in 24 well plates and in culture dishes respectively. ResultsBupivacaine caused severe damage to the N2a cells as evidenced by increase in LDH release and nucleus condensation (apoptosis), dephosphorylation of Akt and ERKs, decrease in mitochondrial transmembrane potential and severe morphological changes. Dexamethasone pretreatment significantly attenuated bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity. Conclusion Dexamethasone can protect N2a cells from bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity through stabilization of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and inhibition of dephosphorylation of Akt and ERKs.

Objective:To explore the effects of linagliptin on blood glucose, islet function and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:During the period from January 2019 to April 2020, 102 patients with NAFLD and T2DM in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University were enrolled and divided into study group and control group according to different treatment methods, with 51 cases in each group. The control group was treated with metformin, while study group was treated with linagliptin and metformin. The clinical curative effect on fatty liver was observed and compared between the two groups. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1c), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), homeostasis model assessment of islet insulin cell function index β (HOMA-β), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and LSM before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. The occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment in both groups was recorded. Results:The total response rate of fatty liver treatment in study group was significantly higher than that in control group: 96.1% (49/51) vs. 82.4% (42/51), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). After treatment, levels of FBG, HbA 1c, HOMA-IR, serum ALT, AST, GGT and LSM in study group were significantly lower than those in control group: (7.1 ± 1.0) mmol/L vs. (7.9 ± 0.9) mmol/L, (7.5 ± 0.7)% vs. (7.9 ± 1.0)%, 3.2 ± 0.2 vs. 4.7 ± 0.3, (56.7 ± 10.4) U/L vs. (62.8 ± 8.2) U/L, (73.2 ± 6.8) U/L vs. (81.1 ± 6.7) U/L, (56.4 ± 10.2) U/L vs. (62.3 ± 8.1) U/L, (10.5 ± 3.3) kPa vs. (13.4 ± 1.6), the level of HOMA-β was significantly higher than that in control group: 48.5 ± 8.3 vs. 41.2 ± 7.1, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions during treatment was low in both groups, and the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Linagliptin can improve clinical curative effect on fatty liver in patients with NAFLD and T2DM, control blood glucose level, and improve islet function, liver function and liver fibrosis, with higher medication safety.
