Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of SpyGlass DS system laser lithotripsy and conventional fractional treatment under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)in treatment of large calculus of common bile duct.Method 38 patients with large calculus of common bile duct(>2 cm)during ERCP from November 2021 to October 2023 were selected and divided into experimental group(n=18)and control group(n=20).The experimental group was treated with SpyGlass DS system combined with laser lithotripsy.The patients in the control group were treated with split treatment(the first biliary stent was placed,and the calculus of common bile duct were removed under conventional ERCP again 3 months later).The success rate of stone clearance and the incidence of complications after ERCP were compared between the two groups.Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP)was performed 3 months after surgery to determine whether there were residual calculus of common bile duct.Results The surgical time of the experimental group was longer than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the stone clearance rate and the incidence of short-term complications between the two groups(P>0.05).The incidence of long-term complications in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.090).Conclusion SpyGlass DS guided laser lithotripsy is effective and safe for the treatment of large calculus of common bile duct,with a low recurrence rate.

Objective     To investigate the risk factors for postoperative complications Clavien-Dindo classification≥grade Ⅱ after lung cancer surgery. Methods     The patients who underwent lung cancer surgery in a multicenter observational study from November 2017 to January 2020 were included. The Clavien-Dindo classification of postoperative complications was analyzed. Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors for complications≥ gradeⅡ. Results     A total of 388 patients were enrolled, including 203 males and 185 females with a mean age of 56.14±10.36 years. The incidence of postoperative complications was 25.52% (99/388) after lung cancer surgery and the incidence of complications≥gradeⅡ was 20.10% (78/388). The five most common postoperative complications were pneumonia (6.96%), prolonged pulmonary air leak (>7 days, 5.67%), incision dehiscence (4.64%), arrhythmia (3.87%), and postoperative pleural effusion (3.35%). Multivariate analysis showed that open surgery [reference: uniportal thoracoscopic surgery, OR=2.18, 95%CI (1.01, 4.70), P=0.047], extended resection [reference: sublobar resection, OR=2.86, 95%CI (1.11, 7.19), P=0.030; reference: lobectomy, OR=2.20, 95%CI (1.10, 4.40), P=0.026] and operative time≥3 h [OR=2.07, 95%CI (1.12, 3.85), P=0.021] were independent risk factors for postoperative complications≥gradeⅡ after lung cancer surgery. Conclusion     Surgical approach, extent of resection and operative time are independent influencing factors for postoperative complications≥gradeⅡ after lung cancer surgery.

Background: Molecular markers associated with disease progression and prognosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) are still lacking in clinic. Aims: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of vanin 1 (VNN1) in intestinal mucosal tissue, serum and stool in patients with UC. Methods: A total of 100 UC patients and 100 healthy volunteers from Dec. 2018 to Jan. 2020 at the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were recruited, and colonoscopy biopsy tissue samples, blood samples and stool samples were collected. PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect mRNA and protein expressions of VNN1 in intestinal mucosal tissue, respectively. The expression of VNN1 in serum and stool was determined by ELISA. Results: The mRNA and protein expressions of VNN1 in intestinal mucosal tissue in patients with UC were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry results showed that VNN1 expression was significantly higher in intestinal mucosal tissue in patients with UC than in healthy controls (P<0.05). ELISA results showed that serum expression of VNN1 in patients with UC was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in expression of VNN1 in stool between patients with UC and healthy controls (P>0.05). Conclusions: The expressions of VNN1 in intestinal mucosal tissue and blood in UC patients are high, and can be used as a molecular marker of UC.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) for the retreatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).Methods:The clinical data of 10 RRMM patients who received anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy for the second time (CART2) in Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine due to failure or recurrence after their first anti-BCMA CAR-T (CART1) therapy from January 2017 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment, efficacy and adverse events of patients receiving CART2 therapy were summarized; and the objective response rate (ORR), median duration of response (DOR) and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between CART1 and CART2.Results:Among 10 patients, 8 were males and 2 were females, with a median age of 57 years (41-70 years). Patients' 3-month ORR after CART1 therapy was 90%, and the median DOR was 16.0 months (3.0-27.0 months). CART2 used human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T to treat 6 cases and mouse-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T to treat 4 cases. The 3-month ORR of patients receiving CART2 therapy was 40%, and the median DOR was 8.5 months (3.0-11.0 months). Among 9 patients who received mouse-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T in CART1 therapy, 4 of them received the same product again and none of them showed curative effect. Among 6 patients retreated with human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T, 4 patients (66.7%) of them achieved partial remission (PR) or better. During CART1 therapy, 10 patients developed grade 1-2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and 7 patients developed different degrees of decrease in leukocyte, neutrophil absolute count (ANC) and platelet. Among patients who achieved effective outcomes after receiving CART2 therapy, 4 patients of them developed grade 1-2 CRS, and different degrees of decrease in white blood cell, ANC and thrombocytopenia. Immune effector cell-related neurotoxicity syndrome was not observed.Conclusions:Anti-BCMA CAR-T is effective and safe to retreat RRMM. The ORR and DOR of patients receiving CART2 therapy are lower than those of patients receiving CART1 therapy. CRS and cytopenia are common adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of anisodine hydrobromide on cell apoptosis and extracellular signal-regulated pro-tein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation (p-ERK1/2) level in brain tissue of model rats with acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,positive control group(nimodipine 1.0 mg/kg),anisodine hydrobromide high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose,extreme low-dose groups(1.2,0.6,0.3,0.15 mg/kg),8 in each group. Suture method was used to establish the rat models with acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Rats were intrave-nously injected once in tail at 2nd of ischemia and 6th of reperfusion. Then adenosine triphosphate (ATP) enzyme activity,Ca2+content,cell apoptosis in brain tissue,p-ERK1/2 protein expression in brain tissue,and p-ERK1/2/total ERK1/2 (t-ERK1/2) pro-portion in brain tissue of rats were detected after 22 h of reperfusion. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,ATP en-zyme activity in brain tissue of rats in model group was obviously decreased,Ca2+ content was obviously increased,density of cell apoptosis in brain tissue was obviously increased,with statistical significances(P<0.01). Compared with model group,density of cell apoptosis in brain tissue was obviously decreased in each administration group;Ca2+ contents in brain tissue of rats in positive control group,anisodine hydrobromide high-dose,low-dose groups were obviously decreased;and p-ERK1/2/t-ERK1/2 proportion in brain tissue of rats in anisodine hydrobromide high-dose,low-dose,extreme low-dose groups were obviously increased,with sta-tistical significances(P<0.05 or P<0.01);the other differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:An-isodine hydrobromide can inhibit the cell apoptosis in brain tissue of model rats with acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury,andthe mechanism may be related with activating ERK1/2 signal pathway and regulating ATP enzyme activity to decrease the Ca2+content in the brain tissue.

Objective To identify the candidate genes in the vicinity of a susceptibility locus (urinary albumin 1,UA-1) contributing to the development of albuminuria in type 2 diabetic KK/Ta mice. Methods Total RNA was extracted from the kidneys of KK/Ta (n=3) and BALB/c (n=2) mice at 20 weeks of age.The gene expression profile in kidney was investigated using the Affymetrix Murine Genome U74Av2 array.Competitive RT-PCR was used to confirm the differential expression of syndecan-4 which located in the vicinity of UA-1.Genome DNA was extracted from KK/Ta and BALB/c mice.DNA sequence analysis of the coding and promotor region of syndecan-4 gene was conducted. Results In the vicinity of the susceptibility locus (UA-1)contributing to the development of albuminuria in type 2 diabetic KK/Ta mice,10 candidate genes that showed differential expression were identified.Among them,the gene expression of syndecan-4in KK/Ta kidneys at 20 weeks of age was up-regulated by 26.1 times of age-matched BALB/c kidneys.Sequence analysis revealed two synonymous polymorphisms in the coding region (A93C and T216C) and three polymorphisms in the promoter region (-T263C,-T396C and -G669A) of the syndecan-4 gene.The TATA box was found at 321 bp upstream from the transcription start site,and the T263C polymorphism was located in the binding site of transcription factor Clox.Conclusions Syndecan-4 gene is mapped in the vicinity of the susceptibility locus contributing to the development of albuminuria in type 2 diabetes.The gene expression of syndecan-4 in KK/Ta kidneys is up-regulated than that in age-matched BALB/c kidneys at 20 weeks of age.Thus syndecan-4 may be one of the potential candidate genes responsible for diabetic nephropathy.Sequence differences in the promoter region influence the expression levels of syndecan-4 genes in KK/Ta kidneys.

Objective To identify susceptible miRNAs for the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the molecular targets of losartan treatment. Methods The 8-week age KKAy mice were divided into losartan treatment group (10 mg· kg-1· d-1) and non-treatment group,C57BL/6 mice were used as the control group.At age of 20 weeks,body weight,random blood glucose,urinary albumin and urinary creatinine were tested,and kidney morphology was observed.Glomeroli were separated by magnetic beads perfusion,and total RNA were extracted.MiRNAs expression profiles were analyzed by the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNAs arrays. Results At age of 20 weeks,KKAy mice developed higher body weight,higher blood glucose and higher urinary microalbumin creatinine ratio than C57BL/6 mice,and the glomerular basement membrane thickened,mesangial matrix widened.Losartan treatment markedly improved the level of urinary albumin creatinine ratio [(539.71±100.23) mg/g vs (728±177.19) mg/g,P＜0.05)] and pathological lesion of KKAy mice.The miRNA array analysis showed that there were 22 miRNAs differentially expressed between KKAy non-treatment mice and C57BL/6 mice glomeruli at age of 20 weeks.Among them,10 miRNAs were up-regulated,and 12 miRNAs were down-regulated.The expression of 4 miRNAs was down-regulated in glumeruli of KKAy mice treated by losartan compared with that of non-treatment mice.The expressions of miRNA-503 and miRNA-181d were significantly up-regulated in the glumeruli of KKAy mice and inhibited by losartan treatment, Conclusion The expressions of miRNA-503 and miRNA-181d are significantly up-regulated in the glumeruli of KKAy mice and inhibited by losartan treatment,which may be new therapeutic targets of DN.

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)losartan on the glomerular protein expression profile of spontaneous type 2 diabetic KKAy mice by two-dimensional differential gel eleetrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.Methods 8-week-old spontaneous type 2 diabetic KKAy mice were randomly divided into losartan (10 mg·kg-1·d-1 given in drinking water) treatment group and non-treatment group.Eight-week-old C57BL/6 mice were used as normal control.The glomeruli were separated by magnetic bead perfusion through thoracic aorta at age of 20 weeks,then glomerular protein was extracted.The glomerular protein expression profile was investigated by CyDyes minimal fluorescence labelling,two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.Results KKAy mice developed higher body weight and blood glucose,higher urinary microalbumin creatinine ratio at age of 20 weeks than C57BL/6 mice at the same age (all P＜0.05).Losartan treatment markedly reduced urinary microalbumin creatinine ratio [(539.71 ±100.23)mg/g vs (728±177.19) mg/g],attenuated mesangial expansion and the thickening of glomerular basement membrane,but had no effect on the blood glucose.By DeCyder 2-D differential analysis software,62 protein spots of differential expression were found in glomeruli between losartan treatment and non-treatment KKAy mice at age of 20 weeks.Among them,41 proteins were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting.The expressions of 28 proteins were up-regulated by losartan treatment,including glycerokinase,sulfite oxidase,glycine amidinotransferase,adenosylhomocysteinase,etc.The expressions of 13proteins were down-regulaled by losartan treatment,including 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase,ATP synthase subunit d,60 000 heat shock protein,stress-70 protein (alternative name 75 000glucose-regulated protein,GRP75),etc.Six differcntially expressed proteins were found in glomeruli between non-treatment KKAy mice and C57BL/6 mice,and the differential expressions were suppressed by losartan treatment,including dihydrolipoyllysine-residue acetyltransferase component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex,succinyl-CoA ligase (GDP-forming) subunit beta,mitochondrial,ATP synthase subunit d,GRP75,nucleoside diphosphate-linked moiety X motif 19 and seleniumbinding protein 1.Conclusions Losartan significantly reduces the urinary protein excretion rate and renal pathological lesion of spontaneous type 2 diabetic KKAy mice,and suppresses the differential expression of mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit d,GRP75,selenium-binding protein 1,etc in glomeruli.Losartan may play a renoproteetive role by reducing glomerular mitochondrial reactive oxygen species genesis and inhibiting oxidative stress.
