Objective To analyze the differential gene expression profiling of liver in rats subjected to hemorrhagic shock(HS) and sham hemorrhage shock(SHAM) by gene chip technology, thus to evaluate the possible molecular pathogenesis of HS. Method 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a SHAM group and a HS group, with 10 rats in each group. Hepatic gene expression profiles were detected by oligonucleotide microarrays of 5705 mouse genes in two groups for three times. Genes with ratio(R) > 2 were identified as up-regulated and R < 0.5 were identified as down-regulated. Biological function of differentially expressed genes was analyzed and 9 genes were selected to undergo semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results Among the total 5705 probes detected,86 genes showed differential expression in HS group comparison with SHAM group. The expression levels of 72 genes were up-regulated while those of 14 genes were down-regulated significantly. Differentially expressed genes were classified according to their biological function: transport genes, transcription regulator genes, signaling genes, response to stress genes, metabolic genes, development genes and cell adhesion genes. Conclusions cDNA microarray is an efficient and high-throughout method to survey gene expression profiles in HS.The variation of those gene expressions might be a potential pathogenic mechanism for HS that may offer a novel target for further study of therapeutic strategies of HS.

Objective To develope a three-dimensional finite element model based on the individual occlusal contact data to analyze the influence of occlusal contact on the stress distribution in the temporomandibular joint(TMJ).Methods CT,cone-beam CT(CBCT),MRI and 3D scanner were used to create a three-dimensional finite element model of the stomatognathic system,which reflected the accurate morphological characteristics of the occlusal surface.The contact area was marked on the occlusal surface of the teeth based on the individual occlusal contact data obtained during the maximal volunteer clenching (MVC).Two occlusal contact conditions including normal occlusion and unilateral posterior crossbite(UPC) were constructed.The models were fixed on the contact areas to simulate the MVC condition in order to analyze the stress distribution in the TMJ.Results The stress distribution of the TMJ was approximately symmetrical in normal occlusion,but the stress values were somewhat different.No significant difference was found in stress distribution between UPC and normal occlusion,but the values were significantly higher on the crossbite side.The maximum values of von Mises stress were 10.35,3.82,3.59 MPa,on condylar process,articular disk,articular fossa of the crossbite side,respectively while on the corresponding side of the normal occlusion maximum values were 7.32,3.18,2.84 MPa,respectively.Conclusions The stress distribution of the TMJ in three-dimensional finite element model which indicated the personal occlusal contact was highly sensitive to the change of the occlusal contact.The abnormal occlusal contact caused by the UPC could lead to the stress concentration of the TMJ on the crossbite side.

Objective:To investigate the changes of various cytokines and coagulation function in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) patients with different CRS scores during CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy.Methods:87 patients with B-ALL hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and 30 normal controls were enrolled into this study from July 2018 to October 2020. The age of the patients was 32(20, 56) years old and 36(41.4%) were female. All these coagulation indicators, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), D-dimer, fibrinogen (Fg) were analyzed by automatic blood coagulation in B-ALL patients before and after treated with CAR-T cell. The ratio of CD19-CAR-T cells and the expression of IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, TFN-α, IL-2, IL-4, and IL-17A were analyzed using flow cytometry. The patients′ clinical parameters were detected, and the CRS classification of severity was made according to the standard of consensus.Results:Patients with CRS>3 had prolonged PT and APTT, increased D-dimer, and decreased fibrinogen ( P<0.05). The levels of cytokines of IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-10 were significantly higher in patients with CRS>3 than that in controls ( P<0.05).The D-dimer level is positively correlated with IL-10. Conclusion:Patients with severe CRS grading have significant coagulation dysfunction in CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy. Cytokines IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-10 may affect coagulation function and CRS grading during CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy.

Objective:
First-line bevacizumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel (CP) is approved for stage III/IV ovarian cancer treatment following initial surgical resection, based on global phase III GOG-0218 and ICON7 trials. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab + CP as first-line ovarian cancer therapy in Chinese patients.
Methods:
Patients with newly diagnosed, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III/IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer post-primary surgery were randomized 1:1 to receive 6 cycles of CP with bevacizumab/ placebo, followed by bevacizumab/placebo maintenance until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Stratification factors were FIGO stage and debulking status (stage III optimally debulked vs stage III suboptimally debulked vs stage IV) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (0 vs 1 or 2).
Results:
Of randomized patients, 51 received bevacizumab + CP and 49 received placebo + CP. Median PFS was 22.6 months with bevacizumab + CP (95% confidence interval [CI]=18.6, not estimable) and 12.3 months (95% CI=9.5, 15.0) with placebo + CP (stratified hazard ratio=0.30; 95% CI=0.17, 0.53). Treatment-related grade 3/4 adverse events occurred in 46 of 49 (94%) patients receiving bevacizumab + CP, and 34 of 50 (68%) receiving placebo + CP.
Conclusion
Bevacizumab + CP showed clinically meaningful improvement in PFS vs placebo + CP, consistent with GOG-0218 results. Safety data were aligned with the known bevacizumab safety profile. These results support first-line bevacizumab + CP therapy in Chinese patients with ovarian cancer.
