Objective To observe the intervention effect of hypericin(HYP)on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)-induced Parkinson's disease(PD)mice model and its mechanism.Methods Thirty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal,model and experimental groups with 10 mice per group.PD mouse model was established after 7 days of intraperitoneal injection of MPTP,and drug intervention was carried out from the first day of modeling.Normal group and model group were intraperitoneally injected with 500 μL·kg·d-1 0.9％NaCl.The experimental group was intraperitoneally injected with 25 mg·kg·d-1 HYP.The three groups of rats were given the drug once each time for 14 days.The expression levels of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH),Nod-like receptor thermal protein domain protein 3(NLRP3)and ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1(Iba1)in the striatum of nigra were detected by Western blot.Results The climbing time of normal,model and experimental groups was(5.35±0.43),(9.71±1.19)and(8.07±0.34)s;suspension scores were(2.92±0.15),(1.38±0.28)and(1.96±0.28)points;the relative expression levels of TH protein were 1.04±0.06,0.51±0.09 and 0.75±0.07;the relative expression levels of NLRP3 protein were 0.51±0.03,1.00±0.04 and 0.77±0.06;the relative expression levels of Iba1 protein were 0.68±0.10,1.30±0.28 and 0.89±0.05,respectively.The above indexes in the model group were statistically significant compared with the experimental group and the normal group(all P＜0.01).Conclusion HYP plays a therapeutic role in PD by inhibiting the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome in PD mice.

Inertial microfluidics,as a microfluidic technology with the ability to precisely manipulate particles and cells with high throughput,has attracted widespread attention.However,challenges remain in achieving particle focusing with insensitivity to flow rates in large-scale channels,mainly due to the instability of secondary flows within the inertial microfluidic chip.This study developed a microstructure-assisted ultra-low aspect ratio spiral microchannel,which utilized the stability and acceleration of secondary flows to achieve inertial particle focusing.The research results demonstrated successful particle focusing within a 1 mm-wide spiral channel chip,for different diameter sizes(7.3 μm and 15.5 μm),within a wide range of flow rates(0.5-3 mL/min).The focusing efficiencies for these particles were measured to be above 94%and 99%,respectively.Additionally,it was observed that the particle focusing position was approximately 100 μm away from the channel walls,significantly larger than other inertial focusing chips.Consequently,by incorporating ordered microstructures within the spiral channel chip,the stability and enhancement of secondary flows were achieved,resulting in flow rate and particle size-insensitive inertial focusing.Compared to traditional methods of inertial focusing,this design had advantages of not requiring additional sheath flow operations,and boasted high throughput and ease of manufacturing.This innovative structure opened up vast prospects for the development of portable inertial microfluidic chips,and could be used in the fields such as cell analysis and detection,flow cytometry,and online sample processing.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agent therapy in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia(CMML).Methods:From February 2014 to June 2021,the clinical data,efficacy,survival time and safety of CMML patients diagnosed in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and treated with hypomethylating agent therapy were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 25 CMML patients received hypomethylating agent therapy,including 18 cases treated with decitabine(DEC)and 7 cases treated with azacytidine(AZA)as the basic treatment.Among them,20 patients responded,and 7 patients got complete remission(CR).All patients with CR were treated with DEC as the basic treatment.Five cases of CR occurred in the first 4 courses of treatment.After a median follow-up of 16.4(9.4-20.5)months,4 patients with CR progressed to acute myeloid leukemia(AML).The median overall survival(OS)time of 25 CMML patients was 17.4 months(95％CI:12.437-22.363).According to MD Anderson prognostic scoring system(MDAPS),CMML-specific prognostic scoring system(CPSS),CPSS molecular(CPSS-mol),Mayo molecular model(MMM),risk stratification of patients was performed,and the difference only between different risk stratification of MDAPS and survival time was statistically significant.Common adverse reactions of hypomethylating agent therapy in CMML patients included infection,gastrointestinal reaction,hematological toxicity,skin allergy and liver function damage.All patients'symptoms were improved after corresponding treatment.Conclusion:Hypomethylating agent therapy is effective and safe for CMML patients.CR mostly occurs in the first 4 courses of treatment,and hypomethylating agent therapy combined with low-dose chemotherapy can be used for patients who do not respond.Hypomethylating agent therapy can delay the disease,but can't prevent progression.

Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of acquired hemophilia A (AHA ) based on the analysis of clinical data.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical manifestations,laboratory characteristics,treatment,and outcomes of 25 patients diagnosed with AHA who were admitted to the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. Results:Among all patients,11 cases had secondary factors,including 5 cases of autoimmune diseases,3 cases of pregnancy-related disease,1 case of pemphigoid,1 case of Graves'disease,and 1 case of monoclonal gammaglobulinemia of unknown significance (MGUS ).The bleeding sites include the skin,mucous membrane,muscle,joint cavity and brain tissue.Twenty-three patients were treated with prednisone combined with cyclophosphamide (CP regimen),one patient with rituximab combined with cyclophosphamide because of femoral head necrosis,and one case with rituximab monotherapy because of gastrointestinal bleeding after prednisone treatment. Among them,23 cases achieved complete remission (CR),2 cases were partial remission (PR),and 8 cases relapsed after CR.All of 10 patients including 2 cases with PR and 8 relapsed cases after CR were treated with rituximab.At last,8 patients achieved CR,and 2 patients (both were patients with recurrence after first CR)achieved PR.These two patients achieving PR were treated with low-dose rituximab combined with bortezomib (RB regimen ).One patient reached CR after 4 cycles and the other reached CR after 6 cycles of RB regimen.After CR,4 of the 10 patients treated with rituximab received maintenance therapy with rituximab monotherapy for 1.5 to 2 years,in which,none of them relapsed.Among the 6 patients who did not receive maintenance therapy,4 patients relapsed after CR,and the median time to relapse was 15 months.Eight patients treated with CP regimen developed common infections,and two patients treated with rituximab developed severe pneumonia.All 25 patients survived until the end of follow-up.Conclusion:Skin ecchymosis,mucous hemorrhage and muscle hematoma are the most common hemorrhagic manifestations in AHA,and joint hemorrhage and cerebral hemorrhage can also occur.CP regimen is the preferred option of first-line therapy for AHA.Rituximab can be used for patients with steroid contraindication or who failed to respond to the above therapy or relapsed after effective treatment,and maintenance therapy is recommended to reduce the risk of recurrence.Meanwhile,close attention should be paid to the occurrence of infection events during rituximab treatment.Rituximab in combination with bortezomib can also be used in patients with refractory or relapsing AHA.

Dental Caries is a kind of chronic oral disease that greatly threaten human being's health. Though dentists and researchers struggled for decades to combat this oral disease, the incidence and prevalence of dental caries remain quite high. Therefore, improving the disease management is a key issue for the whole population and life cycle management of dental caries. So clinical difficulty assessment system of caries prevention and management is established based on dental caries diagnosis and classification. Dentists should perform oral examination and establish dental records at each visit. When treatment plan is made on the base of caries risk assessment and carious lesion activity, we need to work out patient‑centered and personalized treatment planning to regain oral microecological balance, to control caries progression and to restore the structure and function of the carious teeth. And the follow-up visits are made based on personalized caries management. This expert consensus mainly discusses caries risk assessment, caries treatment difficulty assessment and dental caries treatment plan, which are the most important parts of caries management in the whole life cycle.

Objective: The study aims to predict 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and explore its association with sleep duration among Chinese urban adults. Methods: We analyzed part of the baseline data of a cohort that recruited adults for health screening by cluster sampling. The simplified Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Framingham 10-year risk score (FRS) were used to measure sleep duration and CVD risk. Demographic characteristics, personal history of chronic diseases, lifestyle factors were collected using a questionnaire. Height, weight, total cholesterol (TC), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were also measured. Multiple logistic regression models were performed to explore the association of sleep duration with the predicted CVD risk. Results: We included 31, 135 participants (median age 44 years, 53.02% males) free of CVD, cerebral stroke, and not taking lipid-lowering agents. Overall, 14.05%, and 25.55% of participants were at medium and high predicted CVD risk, respectively. Short sleep was independently associated with increased odds of medium to high risk of predicted 10-year CVD among males ( Conclusion A substantial number of adults free of CVD were at high 10-year CVD risk. Short sleep was associated with increased odds of predicted CVD risk.

BACKGROUND: We previously found that the intestinal epithelial chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7 (CCL7) plays an important role in the development of toxin-induced acute liver damage. The detailed effects of intestinal epithelial CCL7 on chronic diseases; however, are still unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the impact of intestinal epithelial CCL7 overexpression on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and steatohepatitis in mice. METHODS: Intestinal epithelial CCL7 overexpression (CCL7) mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates were fed with normal chow or HFD for 16 weeks to induce obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Body weight gain, as well as adipose tissue index were assessed. Liver injury was monitored by histological analysis and real time polymerase chain reaction. Gut microbial composition was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. RESULTS: We found that the CCL7 mice on a HFD had markedly decreased weight gain (8.9 vs. 17.0 g, P < 0.05) and a lower adipose tissue index that include mesenteric fat (1.0% vs. 1.76%, P < 0.05), gonadal fat (2.1% vs. 6.1%, P < 0.05), subcutaneous fat (1.0% vs. 2.8%, P < 0.05) compared to WT animals. HFD-induced glucose intolerance and insulin resistance were also significantly improved in CCL7 mice compared to WT. Furthermore, HFD-fed CCL7 mice displayed less hepatic lipid accumulation and lower expression of inflammatory factors than WT mice. 16S rRNA gene sequencing demonstrated that CCL7 overexpression in intestinal epithelial cells improved HFD-induced gut microbial dysbiosis. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that CCL7 overexpression in the intestinal epithelium protects mice against the progression of diet-induced obesity, hepatic steatosis, and enteric dysbiosis.
