Cow's milk allergy is mainly observed in infants and young children. Most allergic reactions affect the skin, followed by the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems. Conventional diagnosis is based on po-sitive allergy studies and evaluation of parameters including IgE and IgG1 levels, acute allergic skin response and anaphylactic shock reactions. We developed a cell membrane chromatographic (CMC) method based on human mast cells (HMC-1) for screening potential allergens in infant formula milk powders (IFMP). HMC-1 cell membranes were extracted and mixed with silica to prepare cell membrane chromatography columns (10 mm × 2 mm i.d., 5 mm). Under the conditions of 0.2 mL/min flow rate and 214 nm detection wavelength, human breast milk showed no retention. However, IFMP showed clear retention. The retained fractions were collected and analyzed through matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Four major milk proteins, i.e., α-casein, β-casein, α-lactalbumin, and β-lactoglobulin A, were identified. Furthermore, these proteins and β-lacto-globulin B showed clear retention on HMC-1/CMC columns. To test the degranulation effects of the five proteins, histamine and β-hexosaminidase release assays were carried out. All five proteins induced HMC-1 cells to release histamine and β-hexosaminidase. Also, we established a reversed phase liquid chromatographic (RPLC) method for the determination of the five proteins in IFMP and the results showed that 90％ proteins in IFMP were α-casein and β-casein. We concluded that cow's milk proteins may be potential allergens and caseins cause more β-casein allergic risk than other proteins. This con-clusion was consistent with other studies.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum renal injury molecule-1(KIM-1)and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL)in the remission of diabetic kidney disease(DKD)after gastric bypass surgery in obese DKD patients.Methods Seventy-nine obese patients with DKD who received gastric bypass surgery in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected and divided into DKD remission group(n= 47)and DKD non-remission group(n=32)according to whether UACR decreased to normal level after surgery.Preoperative and postoperative general data were collected and biochemical indices,serum KIM-1 and NGAL levels were detected.Results None of the 79 obese DKD patients had intraoperative complications or switched to laparotomy.BMI,FPG,HbA1c,SBP,DBP,TC,TG,LDL-C,SUA,UACR,KIM-1 and NGAL were decreased after surgery,while HDL-C was increased after surgery(P＜0.05).SBP,DBP,Scr,BUN,UACR,KIM-1 and NGAL in remission group were lower than those in non-remission group(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the levels of KIM-1 and NGAL were positively correlated with Scr,BUN and UACR(P＜0.05),but negatively correlated with eGFR(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that SBP,UACR,KIM-1 and NGAL were influencing factors for DKD remission after gastric bypass surgery.The areas under ROC curve of serum KIM-1,NGAL and combined prediction of DKD remission were 0.801,0.757 and 0.863,respectively.Conclusion Serum KIM-1 and NGAL can predict DKD remission in obese DKD patients after gastric bypass surgery.

Objective:To analyze the metabolism of blood glucose and lipid in breast cancer patients after the first chemotherapy.Methods:Breast cancer patients who received chemotherapy for the first time from December 2016 to January 2020 were collected in our hospital, and their blood glucose and lipid levels were monitored. Patients were grouped according to different treatment plans. Non-parametric rank sum test was used for statistical analysis on SPSS software.Results:There were 1 356 female breast cancer patients were enrolled, blood glucose and lipid levels were compared before and after chemotherapy. Our results showed that baseline medium blood glucose was 5.2 mmol/L, lower than 5.3 mmol/L after chemotherapy ( P<0.05). The baseline triglyceride (TG) was 1.2 mmol/L, lower than 1.6 mmol/L after chemotherapy ( P<0.05). The baseline small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) was 0.7 mmol/L, lower than 0.8 mmol/L after chemotherapy ( P<0.05). The baseline high density lipoprotein (HDL) was 1.3 mmol/L, higher than 1.2 mmol/L after chemotherapy ( P<0.05). Patients′ menstrual status and body mass index were related with blood glucose, TG, LDL and sdLDL (all P< 0.05). Conclusions:Abnormal metabolism of blood glucose and lipid are observed in breast cancer patients after the first chemotherapy. More awareness of cardiovascular disease in breast cancer patients might ensure their overall clinical benefits.

Objective:To explore the changes in serum metabolic profile in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to identify the diagnostic biomarkers in order to provide new ideas for the early diagnosis of OSCC.Methods:In total, 76 OSCC patients who were diagnosed at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and 70 healthy individuals who at the Department of Medical Center of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2019 to January 2020 were recruited in The study. According to the random number table method, all subjects were divided into a test group ( n=96) and a verification group ( n=50). Subjects in the test group consisted of 51 OSCC patients and 45 healthy subjects and subjects in the verification group included 25 OSCC patients and 25 healthy individuals. Serum samples and clinical data of each of the subjects were collected. The serum samples were analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole-Orbitrap high resolution accurate mass spectrometry. Principal component analysis, orthogonal partial least square discrimination analysis and t-test were used to profile the differential metabolites in the test group. Pathway analysis of differential metabolites was performed. In addition, binary logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic analysis were used in order to establish the potential diagnostic panel. Results:Twenty-one endogenous differential metabolites were identified showing significant association with OSCC. Results of pathway analysis suggested that OSCC associated with lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism ( P<0.05). A novel diagnostic panel consisting of lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC) (16∶0/0∶0), LysoPC[18∶1(9z)/0∶0], taurine and D-glutamic acid was defined. The panel performed a high area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.998, 95% CI: 0.994-0.999, P<0.05). Conclusions:There were obvious lipid and amino acid metabolism disorders in OSCC patients. It was an effective method to establish a diagnostic model by metabolomics.

The traditional biological principle for developing bone biomaterials is to directly stimulate the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblastic lineage cells, the direct effector cells for osteogenesis. This strategy has been successful for the development of bone biomaterials. However, recent progress in bone biology has revealed the vital role of the local bone microenvironment, especially the immune environment, in controlling osteogenesis. Interdisciplinary osteoimmunology has found that the osteoimmune and skeletal systems are closely related, sharing numerous cytokines and regulators. In addition, immune cells play an important role in the physiological and pathological processes of the skeletal system, suggesting that neglecting the importance of the immune response is a major shortcoming of the traditional strategy. Based on this principle, we propose a novel “osteoimmunomodulation”-based strategy to meet the strict requirements of new-generation bone biomaterials: instead of directly regulating the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblastic lineage cells, we should focus more on manipulating the responses of immune cells and developing biomaterials to induce an immune environment that provides conditions that balance osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis for optimal osseointegration. This article reviews the recent progress on osteoimmunology and immunomodulatory biomaterials for the generation of the “osteoimmunomodulation” concept. Additionally, the outcomes of “osteoimmunomodulation”-related studies have been summarized to guide the development of advanced “osteoimmune-smart” bone substitute materials.

Objective To investigate the changes aad possible role of estrogen and its receptor ERα、ERβ、GPR30 in the pathogenesis of asymptomatic hyperuricemia.Methods The peripheral blood of 62 asymptomatic hyperuricemia patients (AH) and 68 healthy controls (HC) were collected.The expression of estradial (E2) in serum was detected by the chemilluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA).The expression of ERα,ERβ,GPR30 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was measured using Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).Statistical Package form Soci-science (SPSS) 17.0 statistical software was used for data analysis.The measurement data were compared by t test,rank sum test or one factor analysis of variance test.The correlation between variables was used by Spearman correlation analysis.Results ① The expression of E2 in serum of the HC group was higher than that in the AH group [(38.7±10.2) pg/ml vs (33.7±8.6) pg/ml,Z=-0.356,P＜0.05].② The expression of ERα,GPR30 mRNA in PBMCs of HC group was increased,compared with that in the AH group (0.000 17±0.000 23 vs 0.000 12± 0.000 12,0.002 0±0.002 1 vs 0.001 5±0.000 8,Z=-2.112,-2.147,P＜0.05,respectively).No significant difference in PBMCs ERβ mRNA levels was found between HC group and AH group,while a slight but not significant increase was observed in HC group.③ The Spearman correlation analysis found that the expression of ERα and ERβ mRNA,E2 and GR,ERβ and GLU in the AH group were positively related (r=0.259,0.251,0.260,P＜0.05,respectively).Conclusion The expression of E2,ERα,ERβ,GPR30 mRNA in the peripheral blood of patients with AH is decreased,suggesting that the estrogen and its receptor may be involved in the patho-genesis of hyperuricemia.

Objective:In this retrospective study, the accuracy and outcomes of segmental Le Fort I surgery with the aid of 3D-printed surgical templates and occlusal splints and dental model surgery were evaluated.Methods:Clinical data of patients receiving segmental Le Fort I surgery in the Department of Orthognathic and Temporo-Mandibular Joint Surgery of West China Stomatological Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2014 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The accuracy of virtual surgical planning(VSP) and the difference between VSP and dental model surgery were evaluated by postoperative complications, color distance maps, and quantitative accuracy analysis.The amount of surgical displacement of the maxilla in the three-dimensional direction before and after surgery, the occurrence of postoperative complications and the patients'satisfaction survey were analyzed in both groups. Paired t-tests were used for the linear distance and angle between the preoperative design model and the final virtual surgery model in the digital surgery group. Independent samples t-test was used for each marker point’s preoperative and postoperative displacements in the three-dimensional direction between the digital surgery group and the dental model group. The proportion of postoperative complications in the 2 groups was tested using the Pearson chi-square test, and the difference was considered statistically significant at P<0.05. Results:There were 129 patients in the digital surgery group, 35 males and 94 females, aged (24.5±6.5) years, and 92 patients in the dental model surgery group, 28 males and 64 females, aged (27.7±5.4) years.The overall mean linear difference was 1.23±0.35 mm, and the overall mean angular difference was 2.48°±0.31°. The vertical displacement of U3R, U6L in the digital surgery group was (6.72±1.57)mm and (4.73±2.07)mm. The vertical displacement of U3R, U6L in the group of dental model surgery was (4.07±2.14)mm and (1.62±1.82)mm.The significant deviation difference in U3R-Y and U6L-Y between two groups could be detected. The complications in two groups showed a significant difference. Except for one case of root injury, there was no serious complication recorded in the digital surgery group. However, there were three cases of palatal fistulas, four cases of root injury and two cases of bone dehiscence in the dental model group. 94.5% of patients in the digital surgery group are satisfied with the surgical results, while 89.1% in the dental model group.Conclusion:Compared with dental model surgery, segmental Le Fort I surgery is highly accurate under the guidance of surgical templates and occlusal splint which has better postoperative results and effectively reduces the occurrence of surgical complications.
