BACKGROUND:There is no clear conclusion on whether the lung cancer stem cels can induce to spheroid formation and have tumorigenicity. OBJECTIVE: To observe the spheroid formation induced by human lung adenocarcinoma cel line SPC-A1 and the tumorigenic ability of lung cancer stem cels. METHODS:SPC-A1 at proliferating phase was cultured in serum-free DF12 culture medium, and then recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1, recombinant human epidermal growth factor, and recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-10 were added to induce spheroid cels. Immune fluorescence detection and PCR amplification were done to understand the expression of stem cel associated markers. NOD-SCID immunodeficient mice were subcutaneously implanted with lung spheroid cels to observe the tumor growth.In vivo fluorescence imager was used for radiography. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 5-10 days, lung spheroid cels were harvested. RT-PCR results showed that lung spheroid cels were positive for CD24, CD221, CCSP and SP-C. In addition, the lung spheroid cels and purified CD24+, CD221+ lung cancer stem cels were both positive for TTF-1 of lung stem cels, OCT4 and Nanog of embryonic stem cels and TTF-1 of Bmi-1 lung stem cels. The fluorescence detection showed that over 80% lung spheroid cels expressed CCSP and OCT4; SPC-A1 cels had the characteristics of alveolar type II cels, and also expressed SP-C protein, but only about 5% of the cels expressed CCSP and OCT4. At 50 days after subcutaneous implantation of lung spheroid cels, in vivo fluorescence imaging showed that the diameter of tumor in mice was 1 cm, indicating human lung adenocarcinoma cel line SPC-A1 can induce the spheroid formation, and lung cancer stem cels rich in the cel spheres have the tumorigenic ability.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of hypoxemia after coronary artery bypasses grafting (CABG) along with cardiopulmonary bypasses and to understand the regular pattern and characteristics of hypoxemia after CABG. Methods The risk factors of hypoxemia were studied by one way analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis in 86 patients with hypoxemia after CABG along with cardiopulmonary bypass. Results One way analysis indicated that hypoxemia after CABG along with cardiopulmonary bypass was related to senility ( ≥ 65 years ), smoking history, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF ＜ 45 % ), obesity before operation, transfusion ( ≥ 1000 ml );multivariate analysis indicated that pulmonary dysfunction before operation, longer extracorporeal circulation time ( ≥2 h), hypoalbuminemia and pulmonary infection were independent risk factors of hypoxemia after CABG along with cardiopulmonary bypass. Conclusion Multiple risk factors contributed to hypoxemia after CABG along with cardiopulmonary bypass. Increase the awareness of risk factors of perioperative hypoxemia may guide the prevention and treatment, even alleviate or avoid the hypoxemia postoperatively.

Objective To investigate the function of Bcl-2 and Bax in the pathogenesis,development and regression of human hemangiomas.Methods We examined the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in proliferating versus involuting human hemangioma tissues and normal skin tissues using immunohistochemical technique.Results The expression of Bcl-2 in proliferating hemangiomas was significantly higher than that in involuting hemangiomas and normal skin tissues(P＜0.01).No significant difference was found between the expression of Bcl-2 in involuting hemangiomas and that in normal skin tissues(P＞0.05).The expression of Bax in involuting hemangiomas was significantly higher than that in proliferating hemangiomas and normal skin tissues(P＜0.01);the expression of Bax in proliferating hemangiomas was significantly higher than that in normal skin tissues(P＜0.05).Conclusion Bcl-2 and Bax participate in the development and involution of hemangioma,Bcl-2 plays a role in accelerating the proliferation of hemangioma by inhibiting the apoptosis of endothelial cells,and Bax promotes the switching from proliferation to involution in hemangiomas through inducing the apoptosis of endothelial cells.

Prevalence of all kinds of sleep disorders ranged from 10. 3% to 53. 9%. The prevalence of cognitive impairment had no significant difference of sex, but were correlated to age and education, the correlation coefficient was 0. 326 and -0.221 ( P<0.01) . Conclusion Veterans from military communities had higher prevalence of cognitive impairment, extrapyramidal diseases and sleep disorders and lower that of anxiety and depression relatively.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression of tumorigenesis-related stem cell markers Lgr5 and CD44 in different pathological types of intestinal polyps and their clinical significance in predicting tumorigenesis.

METHODSA total of 145 cases of colorectal polyps, adenomas and cancer tissues were obtained by colonoscopy biopsy. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of Lgr5 and CD44 to analyze their relationship with the occurrence and prognosis of colon and rectal cancer.

RESULTSThe expression of CD44 in colon cancer tissue was 95.65%, significantly higher than that in normal mucosa (5%), inflammatory hyperplastic polyps (22.58%), tubular adenomatous polyps (55.26%) and villous polyps (75.76%) (P<0.05). The expression of Lgr5 in colorectal cancer was up to 95.65% while negative in normal colorectal tissue and was 16.12% in inflammatory hyperplastic tissues (P<0.05). The expression rate of Lgr5 was 86.84% in tubular adenoma and 93.94% in villous polyps, both comparable with that in colon cancer (P>0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the expression of CD44 and Lgr5 were positively correlated with the progression of intestinal polyp tumorigenesis (rs=0.69377, P<0.0001; rs=0.81637, P<0.0001).

CONCLUSIONLgr5 and CD44 are highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues in close correlation with the clinical and pathological features. The expression profiles of Lgr5 and CD44 represent a distinct feature to differentiate colorectal cancer from normal intestinal mucosa. Lgr5 is more closely correlated with tumor progression of polyps than CD44. This means detecting of the expression of Lgr 5 together with CD44 is important and necessary in clinical diagnosis of patients with early stage colorectal diseases such as polyps and their canceration.

Objective:To explore effects of different flow rates and temperature settings of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) on patients with mild to moderate community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) accompanied by type I respiratory failure.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 92 patients with mild to moderate CAP accompanied by type I respiratory failure who were admitted and received HFNC in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Tianjin were selected as the research objects from December 2019 to December 2020. They were randomly divided into 4 groups, including low temperature and low flow rate group (31 ℃, 30 L/min) , low temperature and high flow rate group (31℃, 50 L/min) , high temperature and low flow rate group (34℃, 30 L/min) , high temperature and high flow rate group (34 ℃, 50 L/min) , with 23 cases in every group. Two-factor factorial analysis of variance was used to compare effects of different flow rates and temperature settings of HFNC on the comfort, oxygenation index, respiratory rate and heart rate of patients with mild to moderate CAP.Results:The comfort level of patients in the low flow rate group (30 L/min) was higher than that of the high flow rate group (50 L/min) , and the comfort level of patients in the low temperature group (31 ℃) was higher than that of the high temperature group (34 ℃) . The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The oxygenation index of patients in the high flow rate group (50 L/min) was higher than that of the low flow rate group (30 L/min) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Different flow rates and temperatures of HFNC have no interaction effect on the comfort, oxygenation index and heart rate of patients ( P>0.05) , but they have an interaction effects on respiratory rate ( P<0.01) . Individual effect analysis showed that the respiratory rate of patients in the low temperature and high flow rate group (31 ℃, 50 L/min) was lower than that of the high temperature and high flow rate group (34 ℃, 50 L/min) and the low temperature and low flow rate group (31 ℃, 30 L/min) , and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:For patients with mild to moderate CAP accompanied by type I respiratory failure, the application of HFNC should start with low temperature and low flow rate parameter settings. Under the condition of ensuring the patient's comfort, the overall effect of flow rate and temperature is integrated and the inhalation flow rate of HFNC is appropriately increased, which can increase the clinical effect of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy.

Background: Obesity and chronic pain are related in both directions, according to earlier observational research.This research aimed to analyze the causal association between obesity and chronic pain at the genetic level, as well as to assess whether common factors mediate this relationship. Methods: This study used bidirectional two sample Mendelian randomization (MR) technique to analyze the association between obesity and chronic pain. Obesity's summary genome-wide association data were obtained from European ancestry groups, as measured by body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC), genome-wide association study data for chronic pain also came from the UK population, including chronic pain at three different sites (back, hip, and headache), chronic widespread pain (CWP), and multisite chronic pain (MCP). Secondly, a two-step MR and multivariate MR investigation was performed to evaluate the mediating effects of several proposed confounders. Results: The authors discovered a link between chronic pain and obesity. More specifically, a sensitivity analysis was done to confirm the associations between greater BMI, WC, and HC with an increased risk of CWP and MCP.Importantly, the intermediate MR results suggest that education levels and smoking initiation may mediate the causal relationship between BMI on CWP, with a mediation effect of 23.08% and 15.38%, respectively. Conclusions The authors’ findings demonstrate that the importance of education and smoking in understanding chronic pain’s pathogenesis, which is important for the primary prevention and prognosis of chronic pain.
