Objective To investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of different subtypes (IgG,IgM and IgA) of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and anti-β2-glycoprotein Ⅰ antibodies (aβ 2GP1),as well as lupus anticoagulant (LA) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods IgG/IgM/IgA,IgG,IgM,IgA aCL and anti-β2GP1 were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 100 patients with SLE (42 patients were diagnosed as secondary antiphospholipid syndrome),44 healthy controls and 32 patients with other connective tissue diseases excluding SLE and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).Meanwhile,LA was tested by modified Dilute Russell's viper venom time (dRVVT).The correlation between antiphospholipid antibodies and clinical manifestation was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.The postiverate of antiphospholipid antibodies in SLE patients,health controls and patients with other connective tissue diseases were compared by chi square test.The concentrations of antiphospholipid antibodies in different groups were compared using independent sample Kruskal Wallis test.The diagnostic efficacy of antiphospholipid antibodies in SLE patients was analyzed by crosstable using clinical diagnosis of APS as gold standard.P ＜ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results The prevalence of IgG aCL (x2 =15.031,P ＜ 0.001),IgA/G/M (x2 =11.678,P =0.003) and IgA (x2 =6.17,P =0.036) antiβ2GP1 were significantly higher in patients with SLE than in the other two groups.IgA/G/M (r =0.207,P=0.039),IgG (r=0.230,P=0.021) and IgA (r=0.217,P=0.030) aCL,IgA/G/M (r=0.218,P=0.029) and IgA (r =0.255,P =0.01) anti-β2GP1,as well as LA (r =0.233,P =0.02) were associated with thrombotic events.IgA/G/M anti-β2GP1 (r =0.22,P =0.029) and LA (r =0.254,P =0.011) were associated with pathological pregnancy.23.1％ (6/26) aCL positive SLE patients were IgM and/or IgA aCL positive.53.6％ (15/28) anti-β2GP1 positive SLE patients were IgM and/or IgA antiβ2GP1 positive.In SLE patients,the specificity and sensitivity of IgA/G/M aCL for APS were 98.3％ and 26.2％,respectively.The specificity and sensitivity of IgA/G/M anti-β2GP1 were 84.5％ and 40.5％,respectively.The specificity of at least two isotypes positive for APS (both aCL and anti-β2GP1 were 98.3％),was higher than IgG aCL (94.8％) or anti-β2GP1 (93.1％).The sensitivity of at least one isotype of aCL (47.6％) or anti-β2GP1 (42.9％) positive for APS were higher than IgG aCL (40.5％)and anti-β2GP1 (21.4％).Conclusions IgG and IgM aCL together would be better than IgA/G/M aCL for APS screening.IgA/G/M anti-β2GP1 would be better for APS screen due to higher sensitivity and strong association with thromboembolic events and pathologic pregnance.IgA aCL or anti-β2GP1 was associated with thromboembolic events.IgA aCL or anti-β2GP1 would be useful for APS diagnosis in IgG and IgM aCL or anti-β2GPl negative patients.

Objective To discuss function of the fusion cells of human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and human myeloma cell RPMI 8226 in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma bone disease.Methods The cells,labeled by cell tracer green fluorescent probe (CMFDA) and red fluorescent probe (CMTMR),respectively,were induced into fusion by chemical polyethylene glycol (polyethyleneglycol,PEG-1000),and cell fusion model was set up.Whether fusion cells had nucleus fusion was determined by Karyotype analysis.The expressions of stemness-related genes,SIRP α gene and DC-STAMP gene in fusion cells were identified.Results Polyethylene glycol (PEG-1000) could mediate the integration of BMSCs and RPMI 8226 cells.The number of chromosomes in more than 80 ％ the hybrid cells was about 80.Fusion cells not only showed that BMSCs,stemness-related genes of c-myc,Klf-4 and OCT-4 genes expressed positively,but also the fusion-related genes SIRPα and DC-STAMP expressed positively.Conclusion BMSCs and RPMI 8226 cells can form fusion cells,and the cells have the potential for further integration,which is one of the important reasons for the promotion of muhiple myeloma bone destruction.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a 30-amino acid peptide hormone that is mainly expressed in the intestine and hypothalamus. In recent years, basic and clinical studies have shown that GLP-1 is closely related to lipid metabolism, and it can participate in lipid metabolism by inhibiting fat synthesis, promoting fat differentiation, enhancing cholesterol metabolism, and promoting adipose browning. GLP-1 plays a key role in the occurrence and development of metabolic diseases such as obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis by regulating lipid metabolism. It is expected to become a new target for the treatment of metabolic disorders. The effects of GLP-1 and dual agonists on lipid metabolism also provide a more complete treatment plan for metabolic diseases. This article reviews the recent research progress of GLP-1 in lipid metabolism.

Objective To assess the effects of two different managements of typeⅢsupracondyla humeral fractures in children: open reduction vs closed reduction and pinning. Methods Relevant articles were identified by using several database (Pubmed Medline, EMbase, cochranelibrary, CBM, CNKI, wanfang data). Control studies comparing closed reduction with percutaneous pinning and open reduction with pinning were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in the carrying angle according to criteria of Flynn(OR=0.92,P=0.760).There was no significant difference in the functional results according to criteria of Flynn(OR=1.77, P=0.557).There was no significant difference in the ulnar nerve injury(OR=1.10,P=0.332).However, there was a obvious tendency to excellent and good results in the closed reduction group. Conclusions We recommend that closed reduction with percutaneous pinning should be performed first unless some special circumstances are present, for example:complex fractures and failed closed reduction.

Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristics of mortality of accidental injury children aged 5-19 years in Yunnan Province during 2015-2019, to provide further evidence for reducing accidental mortality in children. Methods: The mortality cases of accidental injury by gender, age groups, and causes among children and adolescents in Yunnan Province during 2015 to 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Poisson regression model was used to estimate the trend of mortality. Chi square test was used to compare the differences of mortality by gender and age groups. Results: During 2015 to 2019, the mortality rate of accidental injury in children and adolescents aged 5-19 years in Yunnan Province decreased from 19.15/10 5 in 2015 to 18.35/10 5 in 2019 (Z=-3.36, P <0.01). The mortality rate of all types of accidental injuries in male was higher than that in female ( χ 2=867.01, 11.69 , 147.60, 190.34, 7.23, 702.97, P <0.05). The top three causes of fatal accidental injuries included road traffic accidents, drowning and falls. Except for accidental falls, the mortality rate of other causes in the 15-19 age group was significantly higher than that in the age of 5-9 years and 10-14 years groups ( χ 2=764.47, 75.91, 31.75, 9.24, 114.96, 327.64, P <0.05). The top three traffic accidents were happened among motorcyclists, light trucks or caravans and cars, accounting for 27.83%, 10.57% and 7.90% respectively. Conclusion Targeted measures should be taken continuously according to the characteristics of children and adolescents in different regions, age groups and gender to reduce the incidence and mortality of accidental injuries among children.

Objective To investigate the effect of combined auricular needling and nerve growth factor (NGF) treatment on leaming and memory abilities of Alzheimer' s disease (AD) model rats,as well as their possible mechanisms.Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly assigned into four groups:normal control group,AD model group,auricular needling group,and combined auricular needling and NGF treatment group.Okadaic acid was injected into the hippocampal CA 1 region of rats to establish AD models,simultaneously,5 μL NGF (0.1 g/L) was injected into the lateral ventricle of cerebrum for 5 times every other day while acupuncture at "ear-kidney-brain" auricular points was implemented as well.Morris Water Maze behavioral test was performed to assess the learning and memory abilities of the rats.The neuron apoptosis of the hippocampus was detected by flow cytometer.The expressions ofglial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and choline acetyl-transferase (CHAT) were examined by immunohistochemistry.The neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) was observed through Bielschowsky staining of the hippocampus,and Western blotting was used to observe the Tau protein hyperphosphorylation at Ser396 locus.Results As compared with auricular needling group,the combined auricular needling and NGF treatment group had significantly shortened average escape latency in place navigation test,prolonged active time in the third quadrant in spatial probe test,increased number of platform-crossing,decreased apoptosis ratio,decreased GFAP expression and NFT in the hippocampal CA1 region,increased ChAT expression in hippocampal CA1 region,and decreased phosphorylated Tau expression at the site of Ser396 (P＜0.05).Conclusion (1) Acupuncture at "Ear-Kidney-Brain" auricular points combined with NGF obviously improves the learning and memory abilities of the model rats;and it is more effective than auricular needling alone.(2) The mechanisms might be related with reduced neurons apoptosis,decreased abnormal activation and hyperplasia of astrocyte,improved central cholinergic system functions,and inhibited hyperphosphorylated Tau expressions.

Objective To investigate whether vascular endothelial cells in choroidal neovascularization whether hypoxia condition can up-regulate SNAI1 and activate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2 and MMP9 therefore to participate in choroidal neovascularization(CNV).Methods Sixteen SPF male C57 mice aged 6-8 weeks were divided into control group and model group.CNV models were induced by retinal laser photocoagulation,and flatmount and frozen sections of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid-sclera compound were prepared at 7 days after modeling.The CNV in flat-mount was examined by Isolectin B4 staining,and the location of SNAI1,MMP2 and MMP9 in frozen sections was determined by immunofluorescence technology.The expression of SNAI1,MMP2 and MMP9 at mRNA level in CNV was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (real-time PCR).The use and care of experimental animals complied with Statement for the Use of Animals in Ophthalmic and Visual Research.The RF/6A cells were divided into normoxia group and hypoxia group and cultured for 24 hours in 5％ CO2condition and mix condition of 94％ N2,5％ CO2 and 1％ O2,respectively.The expression of SNAI1,MMP2 and MMP9 in the cells at mRNA and protein levels was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot assay,respectively.Small interfering RNA of SNAI1 (siSNAI1) was transfected into the cells,and then the expression of MMP2 in the cells at mRNA and protein levels was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot assay,respectively,and the migrating number of the cells was assayed by Transwell chamber assay.Results CD31 and SNAI1 positive-response cells were seen in RPE-choroid-sclera flat-mounts under the laser scanning confocal microscope.The relative expression levels of SNAI1mRNA and MMP2 mRNA in RPE-choroid-sclera tissues were higher in the model group than those in the control group (SNAI1 mRNA:1.291 ±0.060 vs.0.759±0.074,P =0.001;MMP2 mRNA:1.610±0.424 vs.0.772 ±0.080,P =0.044).The expression of MMP9 mRNA was not significantly elevated between model group and control group (P＞0.05).The relative expression level of MMP2 mRNA was higher in comparison with MMP9 mRNA in the model group (P＜0.01).The relative expressions of hypoxic induced factor 1α (HIF-1α),SNAI1 and MMP2 at mRNA level and protein level in RF/6A cells were significantly higher in the hypoxia group than those in the normoxia group (all at P＜0.05) and no considerable difference was seen in MMP9 mRNA expression between the two groups (P＞0.05).The relative expressions of MMP2 mRNA in the cells were 0.217±0.036 and 0.818±0.105,and those of MMP2 protein in the cells were 0.236±0.009 and 1.043±0.120 in the hypoxia+siSNAI1 group and only hypoxia group,respectively,with significant differences between them (P =0.002,0.003).The migrating number of the cells was (254.60 ±71.31)/field in the hypoxia+siSNAI1 group,which was significantly less than (534.10±96.21) /field in the control group (P =0.029).Conclusions The hypoxic environment at CNV can activate MMP2 by up-regulating the expression of SNAI1,which promotes the migration of vascular endothelial cells and therefore participates in CNV formation,and the intervention of SNAI1 activation under the hypoxic condition can inhibit this process.

Infant tachycardia is a critical disease, mainly with supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia.The treatment of tachycardia in infant is quite different from that of older children, and there is no relevant guidelines at present.Drug therapy in the acute stage of supraventricular tachycardia and atrial fluttery is mainly intravenous adenosine injection.Digoxin is widely used in neonates.Propranolol is the first choice for prophylactic treatment, and landilolol is in the development stage.Ventricular tachycardia can be spontaneously subsided, the treatment is dominated by intravenous lidocaine.For non-drug therapy, heart cardioerter is the emergency treatment for serious rapid arrhythmia.Radiofrequency ablation is used in infants with more severe conditions and where the onset of tachycardia can not be controlled.Bury cardioverter-defibrillator is effective in preventing infant ion channel disease complicated with malignant ventricular tachycardia induced sudden cardiac death.Subcutaneous implantion of a defibrillator may be superior to intravenous implantation in infants and young children.

Heart failure is a group of complex clinical syndromes in the middle and late stages of cardiovascular diseases.Mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance is one of the pathological mechanisms in the occurrence and development of heart failure.This article revolved around the"yin-yang theory"in TCM and explained the pathological mechanism of heart failure through mitochondrial homeostasis.Heart failure is the syndrome of deficiency in nature and excess in superficiality fundamental.Its basic pathogenesis is"yang deficiency and yin excess".Based on the deficiency of heart yang qi and the stagnation of yin pathogens,the combination of deficiency and excess runs through the entire disease.Mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance is a manifestation of yin-yang imbalance at the cellular micro level,mainly manifested as inhibition of mitochondrial biosynthesis,mitochondrial dynamics imbalance,mitophagy disorder,etc.,which affects mitochondrial structure and function and leads to abnormal myocardial energy metabolism.Therefore,based on the"yin-yang theory",the basic treatment method is to"tonify deficiency and damage excess"to regulate mitochondrial biosynthesis,mitochondrial dynamics,and mitophagy,thereby maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and improving myocardial energy metabolism,which is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of heart failure.
