Reninoma is a rare renal secretory tumor,prevalent in the young population. This disease is mostly surgically resected,and the use of microwave ablation to treat reninoma in children is scarce. A case of reninoma in a child was reported in this paper. The patient presented with refractory hypertension,hypokalemia,hyperreninemia and hyperaldosteronemia. Enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced ultrasound showed mass in the lower pole of the right kidney,which was considered as reninoma and microwave ablation was performed. The renin concentration decreased to 68.42 pg/ml at 4 hours after surgery. After 1 year of postoperative follow-up,there was no recurrence of hypertension and hypokalemia,and no signs of tumor recurrence were seen on repeated ultrasound examinations.

BACKGROUND:Fluorosis is a disorder of enamel development caused by long-term intake of large amounts of fluoride during enamel development. OBJECTIVE:To further explore the molecular mechanism of dental fluorosis formation by screening the differentially expressed genes associated with calcium homeostasis in ameloblasts by transcriptome sequencing technology. METHODS:LS8 cells were treated with 0,0.4,0.8,1.6,3.2 and 6.4 mmol/L sodium fluoride(NaF)for 24,48 and 72 hours to observe the effects of different concentrations of NaF on the morphology,cell activity and intracellular Ca2+ concentration of LS8 cells.The differentially expressed genes were screened by transcriptome sequencing and validated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 24 hours of treatment,the cells treated with 0,0.4,and 0.8 mmol/L NaF were in good growth condition,with increased cell number and clear cell outline.When the NaF concentration was≥1.6 mmol/L,the cells were gradually shrunken and became smaller and the number of cells decreased with the increase of NaF concentration.After 48 and 72 hours of treatment,the number of cells increased in the 0,0.4 mmol/L NaF groups,while gradually decreased in the 0.8,1.6,3.2 mmol/L NaF groups,with rounded and smaller cell morphology.The cells in the 6.4 mmol/L NaF group were shrunken,rounded and suspended in the medium,with almost no adherent cells.When treated with the same concentration of NaF,LS8 cells were in optimal growth after 24 hours of treatment.Results from cell counting kit-8 assay showed that when treated with the same concentration of NaF,the cell activity decreased with the increase of treatment time;when the treatment time was the same,the cell activity decreased with the increase of NaF concentration.After 24 hours of treatment,the intracellular Ca2+ concentration increased with the increase of NaF concentration.Transcriptome sequencing analysis identified genes involved in the regulation of cellular calcium homeostasis:Hsp90b1,Canx,Calr,and Hspa5 that were significantly upregulated(P<0.05)and Cacna1a that was significantly downregulated(P<0.05).To conclude,the inhibitory effect of NaF on LS8 cell proliferation may be related to the abnormal increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration,and the mechanism may be caused by the upregulation of the expression of protein processing and synthesis pathways Hsp90b1,Canx,Calr,and Hspa5 and the downregulation of the expression of calcium signaling pathway Cacna1a.

Objective:To conduct visualization analysis on the literature on dietary restriction(DR)regulating inflammation based on CiteSpace and VOSviewer visualization software,and to explore research hotspots and trends in this field.Methods:The literature on DR regulation inflammation in Web of Science core databases from January 1 2010 to September 29 2022 were searched.CiteSpace and VOSviewer visualization software was used to conduct quantitative and visual analysis of the annual publication volume,countries,institutions,authors,citation frequency and keywords of the retrieved literature.Results:A total of 1 344 papers related to the topic were included,and the annual number of papers was generally on the rise,with the highest citation frequency of 1 676 times.The United States(481 papers)is the country with the largest number of publications,followed by China(181 papers).The research hotspots in this field focused on calorie restriction(CR),ketogenic diet,aging,metabolic diseases,adipose tissue and gut microbiota.Conclusion:DR regulation of inflammation is increasingly favored by international and domestic researchers,and future research hotspots may be CR mimics(CRMs),intestinal microbiota,neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular diseases.The overall research trend is to further clarify the anti-inflammatory mechanism of DR,find new therapeutic targets,and conduct more rigorous clinical trials with more effective regimens that have been proven in vitro and animal models.
9.Research progress on endoscopic image diagnosis of gastric tumors based on deep learning.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2024;41(6):1293-1300
Gastric tumors are neoplastic lesions that occur in the stomach, posing a great threat to human health. Gastric cancer represents the malignant form of gastric tumors, and early detection and treatment are crucial for patient recovery. Endoscopic examination is the primary method for diagnosing gastric tumors. Deep learning techniques can automatically extract features from endoscopic images and analyze them, significantly improving the detection rate of gastric cancer and serving as an important tool for auxiliary diagnosis. This paper reviews relevant literature in recent years, presenting the application of deep learning methods in the classification, object detection, and segmentation of gastric tumor endoscopic images. In addition, this paper also summarizes several computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems and multimodal algorithms related to gastric tumors, highlights the issues with current deep learning methods, and provides an outlook on future research directions, aiming to promote the clinical application of deep learning methods in the endoscopic diagnosis of gastric tumors.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether Jiedu Huoxue prescription can induce macrophage autophagy and inhibit inflammatory response to stabilize vulnerable plaques of atherosclerosis (AS) by regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. MethodThirty ApoE-/- mice fed with high-fat diet were randomly assigned into model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (5.35, 10.7, and 21.4 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively) Jiedu Huoxue prescription (Chinese medicine), and rapamycin (2 mg·kg-1·d-1) groups. Six ApoE-/- mice fed with common diet were used as the control group, and 6 C57BL/6J mice fed with common diet as the blank group. The drugs or equal volume of normal saline were administrated by gavage after 7 weeks of modeling, and the treatment lasted for 4 weeks. The serum levels of lipids and inflammatory cytokines [monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)] were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was employed to observe the pathological changes of the vascular wall of the aortic root. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of macrophages/monocytes monoclonal antibody (MOMA-2) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Transmission electron microscopy was employed to count the autophagosomes in the aorta, and Western blot to determine the protein levels of Beclin-1, LC3, PI3K, Akt, and mTOR. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed elevated serum levels of lipids, MCP-1, and IL-6 (P<0.05), inhibited expression of MOMA-2 and α-SMA (P<0.05, P<0.01), up-regulated protein level of Beclin-1 (P<0.05), and down-regulated protein levels of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR (P<0.05, P<0.01). The model group presented obvious atherosclerotic plaques on the inner wall of the aorta, infiltration of inflammatory cells in the plaque, thickened and disarranged vascular intima where the plaque was attached, decreased autophagosomes and mitochondria, and destroyed mitochondrial structure. Chinese medicine and rapamycin groups showed lower levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, MCP-1, and IL-6 (P<0.05), higher level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05), inhibited expression of MOMA-2 and α-SMA (P<0.05, P<0.01), higher protein levels of Beclin-1 and LC3Ⅱ (P<0.05, P<0.01), and lower protein levels of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR (P<0.05, P<0.01) than the model group. Moreover, Chinese medicine and rapamycin groups showed only a small number of atherosclerotic plaques on the inner wall of the aorta, reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells and thickness of the blood vessel wall, and increased autophagosomes and autophagic lysosomes. ConclusionJiedu Huoxue prescription can improve lipid metabolism, enhance macrophage autophagy, and reduce AS-induced inflammation to improve the stability of vulnerable plaques in AS mice by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
