Alteration of metabolism and epigenetic status are two new focuses in the field of cancer re -search.Recently,more and more reports have demonstrated that the changes of both metabolic enzymes and al -tered epigenetic status have close interrelationship with the pathogenesis and development of gliomas in human . We discuss here the effects of altered metabolic enzymes on epigenetic status in gliomas based on two important altered metabolic enzymes ,with the aim to unlock the molecular mechanism on how gliomas occur and progress . This newfound molecular mechanism of how altered metabolic enzymes impact on epigenetic status in gliomas may contribute to the identification of novel therapeutic targets to gliomas in the future .

Objective To investigate the effects of different values of PEEP on cardiac index (CI), stroke volume variation (SVV) and oxygen transport index (DO2I) in patients monitored by FloTrac/Vigileo system, and to provide some references for the hemodynamic management and improvement of oxygenation for patients. Methods Sixty patients scheduled for elective television (TV) auxiliary thoracoscope radical operation for esophageal cancer were included in this study. Data of CI, SVV and DO2I were observed by the FloTrac/Vigileo system. Changes of CI, SVV and DO2I were recorded after anesthesia induction and turn left side (T0), artificial pneumothorax with 0 PEEP after 5 minutes (T1), artificial pneumothorax with 5 PEEP after 5 minutes (T2), artificial pneumothorax with 10 PEEP after 5 minutes (T3), and artificial pneumothorax with 15 PEEP after 5 minutes (T4). Results Compared with T0, CI decreased and SVV increased significantly at T1, T2, T3 and T4(P<0.05). Compared with T1, CI decreased and SVV increased at T4. DO2I increased at T2 and T3 compared with that of T1(P<0.05). Conclusion PEEP may have a certain influence on CI and SVV in the process of operation. The values of 5-10 PEEP can significantly improve oxygenation and have a less influence on hemodynamics, which can be appropriately used in clinical care.

Objective To systematically review the efficacy of dexmedetomidine mixed with ropivacaine for brachial plexus block in the patients undergoing upper limb surgery.Methods Medline,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Weipu,Wanfang,Zhiwang databases were searched for randomized controlled trials involving the efficacy of dexmedetomidine mixed with ropivacaine for brachial plexus block in patients undergoing upper limb surgery from the date of database establishment up to July 2017,and the trials were published in Chinese or in English.Evaluation indexes included onset time and duration of sensory and motor blocks and analgesia time when used for brachial plexus block.Trials were selected and data were extracted independently by 2 investigators,and meta-analysis was conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.3 software.Results Twelve randomized controlled trials were included in our metaanalysis.Compared with control group,the onset time of sensory and motor blocks was significantly shortened,the duration of sensory and motor blocks was prolonged,and analgesia time when used for brachial plexus block was prolonged in dexmedetomidine group (P＜0.01).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine mixed with ropivacaine can be effectively used for brachial plexus block in the patients undergoing upper limb surgery.

Objective To construct a predictive model for the risk of non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)in young and middle-aged patients with major depressive disorder based on the decision tree algorithm.Methods Young and middle-aged patients with major depressive disorder admitted to the Chongqing Mental Health Center from January 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects and their clinical data were collected.According to whether NSSI occurred or not,the patients were divided into the NSSI group(n=72)and the non-NSSI group(n=82).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the risk factors of NSSI in young and middle-aged patients with major depressive disorder.A deci-sion tree predictive model was established based on the results of logistic regression analysis and the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection(CHAID)algorithm.The predictive value of the model was evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The incidence of NSSI in 154 young and mid-dle-aged patients with major depressive disorder was 46.8％.The results of single-factor analysis showed that there were no statistically significant differences(P＞0.05)in gender,age,education level,occupation,family composition,only child status,relationship status,fertility status,main place of residence,family economic source,and housing conditions between the two groups.Statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)were observed in living conditions,family economic status,duration of depression,SSRS score,PSS-Fa score,and DS score between the two groups.Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that lower family economic lev-el,longer duration of depression,SSRS score＜20 points,PSS-Fa score＜6 points,and DS score ≥47.2 points were independent risk factors for NSSI in young and middle-aged patients with major depressive disorder(P＜0.05).The constructed decision tree model had five layers and ten nodes,with family economic situation,duration of depression,SSRS score,and PSS-Fa score selected as the nodes of the model,among which the PSS-Fa score was the most important predictive factor.ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the model was 0.881(95％CI:0.844-0.918).Conclusion There are many influencing factors for the occurrence of NSSI in young and middle-aged patients with major depressive disorder.The decision tree model constructed based on these factors has a high predictive value for the risk of NSSI in young and middle-aged patients with major depressive disorder.

Objective:To fabricate the composite scaffolds for bone regeneration with silk fibroin (SF), bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNR) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) and evaluate their osteogenic activity.Methods:HAp particles, BCNR and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) were added into SF aqueous solution in turn, poured into molds of different sizes after being mixed evenly and processed at -25 ℃ for 24 hours to obtain frozen molds, and the composite scaffolds were frozen-dried by freezing-drying machine. The composite scaffolds with different mass ratios of SF and BCNR were divided into groups A (2∶1), B (4∶1) and C (6∶1), and the inactive composite scaffolds without BMP2 fell into group D. The surface morphology and pore structure of the scaffolds were detected by scanning electron microscopy. The porosity of the scaffolds was measured by mercury intrusion porosimeter. The stress-strain curve was obtained by using the universal material testing machine to compress the scaffolds, with which their compressive strength and Young′s modulus were analyzed. Immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (iMEF) were inoculated on the composite scaffolds of group A, B, C and D. At 4 and 8 days after cell inoculation, the proportion of alive and dead cells in each group was detected by cell survival/death staining; the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect cell proliferation activity in each group; the positive staining cells were detected in each group by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining; the ALP activity was observed in each group with ALP activity detection. A total of 15 female SD rats were selected to establish osteogenesis models with ectopic muscle bag. The composite scaffolds implanted with different SF/BCNR mass ratios and the inactive composite scaffolds without BMP2 fell into group A′ (2∶1), B′ (4∶1), C′ (6∶1) and D′ respectively, and a sham operation group was set at the same time, with 3 rats in each groups. In the sham operation group, the muscle bag and skin were sutured without scaffold implantation after the incision of skin, the blunt separation of the quadriceps muscle, and the formation of muscle bag in the muscle. In the other four groups, the corresponding scaffolds were implanted in the muscle bag and the muscle bag and skin were sutured. X-ray examination was performed at 2 and 4 weeks after operation to observe the osteogenesis in each group. At 4 weeks after operation, the implanted scaffolds and tissue complexes were collected by pathological tissue sectioning, HE staining and Masson staining, and for observing the osteogenesis by in each group. Immunohistochemical staining was also performed on the tissue sections to observe the expression of osteogenic markers type I collagen (COL1) and osteopontin (OPN) in each group.Results:Scanning electron microscopy showed that the lamellar and micropore structures of group B were more regular and uniform than those of groups A and C. The porosity rate analysis showed that the porosity rates of groups B and C were (89.752±1.866)% and (84.257±1.013)% respectively, higher than that of group A [(81.171±1.268)%] ( P<0.05 or 0.01), with the porosity rate of group C lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). The mechanical property test showed that the compressive strengths of groups B and C were (0.373±0.009)MPa and (0.403±0.017)MPa respectively, higher than that of group A [(0.044±0.003)MPa] ( P<0.01), and the Young′s moduli of groups B and C were (7.413±0.094)MPa and (9.515±0.615)MPa respectively, higher than that of group A [(1.881±0.036)MPa] ( P<0.01), with the compressive strength and Young′s modulus of group C higher than those of group B ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The cell survival/death staining showed that the number of dead cells of group B was significantly smaller than that of groups A, C and D at 4 days after cell inoculation, and that group B had the most living cells and the fewest dead cells at 8 days after cell inoculation. The results of CCK-8 experiment showed that at 4 days after cell inoculation, the cell proliferation activity of groups A and B was 0.474±0.009 and 0.545±0.018 respectively, higher than 0.394±0.016 of group D ( P<0.01); the cell proliferation activity of group C was 0.419±0.005, with no significant difference from that of group D ( P>0.05), while the cell proliferation activity of groups A and C were both lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). At 8 days after cell inoculation, the cell proliferation activity of group B was 1.290±0.021, higher than 1.047±0.011 of group D ( P<0.01); the cell proliferation activity of group C was 0.794±0.032, lower than that of group D ( P<0.01); the cell proliferation activity of group A was 1.086±0.020, with no significant difference from that of group D ( P>0.05); the cell proliferation activity of groups A and C was lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). At 4 and 8 days after cell inoculation, ALP staining showed that more positive cells were found in groups A, B and C when compared with group D, and more positive cells were found in group B than in groups A and C. At 4 days after cell inoculation, the ALP activity detection showed that the ALP activity of groups A, B and C was 1.399±0.071, 1.934±0.011 and 1.565±0.034 respectively, higher than 0.082±0.003 of group D ( P<0.01), while the ALP activity of groups A and C was lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). At 8 days after cell inoculation, the cell activity of groups A, B and C was 2.602±0.055, 3.216±0.092 and 2.145±0.170 respectively, higher than 0.101±0.001 of group D ( P<0.01), while the ALP activity of groups A and C was lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). X-ray examination results showed that at 2 weeks after operation, no obvious osteogenesis was observed in the sham operation group, group D′, A′ and C′, while it was observed in group B′. At 4 weeks after operation, obvious osteogenesis was observed in group A′, B′ and C′, with significantly more osteogenesis in group B′ than in the other two groups, while there was no obvious osteogenesis in the sham operation group and group D′. At 4 weeks after operation, the HE staining and Masson staining showed that a large number of uniformly distributed new bone tissue was formed in group B′, while only a small amount of new bone tissue was found locally in groups A′ and C′, and only part of new tissue was found to grow in group D′ with no obvious new bone tissue observed. The maturity of new bone tissue formed in group B′ was higher than that in group A′ and C′. Immunohistochemical staining showed more COL1 and OPN positive staining in group B′ when compared with groups A′ and C′. The expression intensity analysis of COL1 and OPN showed that in groups A′, B′ and C′, the expression intensity of COL1 was 2.822±0.384, 22.810±2.435 and 12.480±0.912 respectively and the expression intensity of OPN was 1.545±0.081, 5.374±0.121 and 2.246±0.116 respectively, with higher expression intensity of COL1 and OPN in groups B′ and C′ than that in group A′ ( P<0.01) and lower expression intensity of COL1 and OPN in group C′ than that in B′ group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The composite scaffold for bone regeneration is successfully fabricated with SF, BCNR and HAp. The composite scaffold with a mass ratio of SF to BCNR of 4∶1 has uniform pore structure, high porosity, good mechanical properties and biocompatibility, excellent pro-osteogenic properties in vitro, as well as excellent osteo-inductivity and osteo-conductivity.
