Heat shock protein 27 ( HSP27 ) is an endogenous protein that plays an important role in a great variety of physio-logical and pathological processes. It can express a large number under body stress conditions. Recent studies have shown estro-gen upregulates the expression of HSP27 through a number of ways, playing a perfect “triple protection” role. In the early stage of atherosclerosis, estrogen induces the phosphorylation of HSP27 via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Phosphorylation of HSP27 can resist the injury of vascular endothelial cells( VECs) through an antioxidant and anti-apoptotic pathway as well as the inhibition of cytochrome C. In the stage of forming foam cells, estrogen induces the expression and release of HSP27 from mac-rophages by stimulating the estrogen receptor β ( ERβ) , then HSP27 inhibits the LDL uptake and the release of proinflammato-ry cytokine by binding scavenger receptor A ( SR-A) . During the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells ( VSMCs) , estrogen induces estrogen receptor α ( ERα) and protein phosphatase 2 ( PP2A) to form a complex that enhances the activity of PP2A, then it can lead to the dephosphorylation of HSP27 and finally inhibit cells proliferation and migration. In summary, the anti-atherosclerotic effect of estrogen is closely re-lated to the role of HSP27. Given the side effects of estrogen re-placement therapy( MHT) , regulating HSP27 may provide a no-vel therapy for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular dis-eases in menopausal women clinically.

Bombyx mori bidensovirus (BmBDV) has been identified as causing chronic densonucleosis in Bombyx mori specifically. The replication mechanism of BmBDV remains unknown. Its genome comprises two single stands DNA (VD1 and VD2). In order to rescue infectious virions in vitro, we obtained the total viral DNA extracted from the BmBDV-infected larvae midguts, subsequently cloned the full-length sequence of BmBDV genome fragments by PCR and constructed recombinant plasmids pMD18T-VD1 and pUC-VD2. The linear genome fragments were obtained by digesting recombinant plasmids with corresponding restriction enzymes, and then collectively transfected BmN cells by the method of liposome-embedding. We determined the replication of the virus gene by PCR with the template of demethylated total DNA extracted from the post-transfect BmN cells. Meanwhile, we collected the total proteins from the post-transfect BmN cells and the larvae midgut of feeding the post-transfect BmN cells to perform Western blotting analysis, and detected the expression of viral genes. Here we firstly confirm that infectious virions can be rescued in BmN cells by linear co-transfect method.

Lynch syndrome (LS) is a common hereditary tumor syndrome. Gynecological malignancy is usually the first tumor of LS in women, and endometrial cancer (EC) is the most closely associated with LS. Most patients with LS are unaware of this risk, and it is possible to cause misdiagnosis. Thus, early diagnosis helps patients to start tumor surveillance timely, as well as a cascade of family surveillance. This paper reviews the progress of LS associated with EC.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of postoperative pancreatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP),establish a quantitative risk prediction model,and conduct external validation.Methods The clinical data of patients with ERCP were analyzed.Among them,603 ERCP patients From January 2017 to January 2021 were selected as the modeling group,and 205 ERCP patients from March 2021 to March 2022 were selected as the validation group.Pancreatitis was diagnosed according to Atlanta standards.There were 45 cases in the modeling group and 23 cases in the validation group developed pancreatitis after ERCP.Compare the clinical data and biochemical indicators of patients with and without pancreatitis in the modeling group,and screen for risk factors of pancreatitis through multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Then,establish a risk prediction model and validate it.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in age,history of gastectomy,calculus of common bile duct,papillary foramen nodule type,pancreatic wire channel,sphincterotomy,serum total bilirubin and albumin between the two groups(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the history of gastrectomy(O(R) = 6.417,95%CI:1.900～21.675,P = 0.000),calculus of common bile duct(O(R) = 3.442,95%CI:1.496～7.917,P = 0.000),papillary foramen nodule type(O(R) = 2.447,95%CI:1.072～5.585,P = 0.018),pancreatic wire channel(O(R) = 3.673,95%CI:1.609～8.383,P = 0.000),sphincterotomy(O(R) = 1.758,95%CI:1.140～2.711,P = 0.004),elevated total bilirubin(O(R) = 1.415,95%CI:1.084～1.847,P = 0.008)and decreased albumin(O(R) = 1.239,95%CI:1.016～1.510,P = 0.010)were independent risk factors for post ERCP pancreatitis.Establish a risk prediction model Y =-1.023 + 1.859×(history of gastrectomy)+ 1.236×(calculus of common bile duct)+ 0.895×(papillary foramen nodule type)+ 1.301×(pancreatic wire channel)+ 0.564×(sphincterotomy)+ 0.347×(elevated total bilirubin)+ 0.214×(decreased albumin).The receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the model predicting pancreatitis in the modeling and validation groups were 0.895 and 0.864,respectively.After assigning values to each variable in the model,it was divided into low risk(0～5 points),medium risk(5～10 points),and high risk(≥10 points).The actual incidence of high-risk pancreatitis in the modeling and validation groups was significantly higher than that of low-risk patients,and the actual incidence of high-risk pancreatitis was significantly higher than that of medium risk patients,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Conclusion The history of gastrectomy,calculus of common bile duct,papillary foramen nodule type,pancreatic wire channel,sphincterotomy,elevated total bilirubin and decreased albumin were independent risk factors for post ERCP pancreatitis.We have developed a quantitative risk prediction model with good predictive efficacy for pancreatitis,which has important clinical application value.

Embryo is regarded as a semi-allograft for carrying paternal genetic information. It can escape the attack from maternal immune system and successfully implant into the uterus, which mainly relies on the establishment of immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface. The maternal-fetal interface is the basis for the connection and material exchange between the mother and fetus. The mechanisms of immune re-sponses at this interface are the key to the maintenance of normal pregnancy. Immunomodulatory molecules expressed at the maternal-fetal interface are vital for immune tolerance. Studies have shown that sialicacid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (Siglecs) are abundantly expressed at the maternal-fetal interface and play an important role in immune regulation. Siglecs are important members of the typeⅠimmunoglobulin-like superfamily. By binding with the sialic acid residues on the side chains of glycoproteins or glycolipids, Siglecs involve in immune regulation, the activation and proliferation of immune cells and immune cell-medi-ated physiological and pathological processes. Present research on the expression of Siglecs in the maternal-fetal interface is mainly focused on Siglec-6 and Siglec-10, while other Siglecs are less studied. Siglecs, such as Siglec-6 and Siglec-10, might involve in the regulation of immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal in-terface through binding to different ligands. This article briefly reviewed the expression of Siglecs and their ligands at the maternal-fetal interface and their roles in immune tolerance.

Objective:To investigate the value of ultrasonic measurement of the ratio of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) to eyeball transverse diameter(ETD) in the diagnosis and prognosis of intracranial hypertension in patients with craniocerebral trauma.Methods:A total of 120 patients with craniocerebral trauma treated in the Xingtai General Hospital of North China Medical and Health Group from December 2021 to January 2023 were perspectively selected, and they were divided into normal intracranial pressure group (73 cases) and intracranial hypertension group (47 cases) according to the results of intracranial pressure measurements, and the intracranial hypertension group was divided into good prognosis group (20 cases) and poor prognosis group (27 cases) according to the follow-up prognosis. The efficacy of ONSD, ETD and ONSD/ETD in intracranial hypertension diagnosis and prognosis assessment were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the 6-month risk of adverse prognosis of patients, and the comparison was made by Log-rank test.Results:The levels of intracranial pressure, ONSD, ONSD/ETD in the normal intracranial pressure group were lower than those in the intracranial hypertension group: (130.73 ± 23.63) mmH 2O (1 mmH 2O = 0.009 8 kPa) vs. (270.11 ± 35.78) mmH 2O, (5.47 ± 0.29) mm vs. (5.78 ± 0.44) mm, 0.246 ± 0.018 vs. 0.263 ± 0.018, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The scores of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), intracranial pressure, ONSD, ONSD/ETD in the good prognosis group were lower than those in the poor prognosis group: (5.50 ± 1.24) scores vs. (6.41 ± 1.34) scores, (256.15 ± 30.23) mmH 2O vs. (280.44 ± 36.56) mmH 2O, (5.62 ± 0.40) mm vs. (5.90 ± 0.44) mm, 0.254 ± 0.014 vs. 0.270 ± 0.017, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of ONSD and ONSD/ETD for diagnosing intracranial hypertension in patients with craniocerebral trauma were 0.718 and 0.765, respectively, and the critical values were 5.87 mm and 0.263, respectively. The AUC of ONSD and ONSD/ETD predicting prognosis of intracranial hypertension patients was 0.677 and 0.763, respectively, and the critical values were 5.90 mm and 0.267, respectively. Grouped by the threshold of ONSD/ETD for the prognosis of intracranial hypertension (0.267), the incidence of adverse prognosis in ONSD/ETD > 0.267 group was higher than that in the ONSD/ETD≤0.267 group, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:ONSD/ETD can be used as an index for diagnosis and prognosis of intracranial hypertension.
