Background With the large-scale production and application of carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs), occupational and general exposure is obviously increasing. Related studies have shown that exposure to CBNPs can induce oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage. Objective To establish a CBNPs-induced malignant transformation (C-BEAS-2B) model of human lung epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) and explore the role and mechanism of circCCDC138 in the malignant transformation process. Methods At 0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μg·mL⁻¹ CBNPs concentrations, cell viability was detected by CCK8 assay. BEAS-2B cells were exposed to 20 mg·mL⁻¹ CBNPs for three months, and a malignant transformation model of BEAS-2B induced by CBNPs was constructed. The migration and invasion abilities of the cells were detected by cell scratch and Transwell assays. The expressions of circ-CCDC138 in BEAS-2B and C-BEAS-2B were detected by qRT-PCR, and its stability was verified by a digestive resistance test. A cell model with interference or overexpression of circCCDC138 was constructed, and the expression of circCCDC138 in the cells was detected by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. The cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to analyze the expression of p53 protein. Results The CBNPs used in the experiment were spherical particles with a chain-like structure. In the 20 μg·mL⁻¹ CBNPs group, the reduction in the viability of BEAS-2B cells was relatively small (10%). Compared with the control cells, the 20 μg·mL⁻¹ CBNPs group showed more obvious cell migration and invasion at 24 h and 48 h, indicating that the exposure to CBNPs induced early malignant transformation of BEAS-2B cells (P<0.01). The circCCDC138 expression in C-BEAS-2B was upregulated in a time-dependent manner after exposure to CBNPs. Compared with the C-BEAS-2B cells, the C-BEAS-2B cells over-expressing circCCDC138 exhibited arrested S phase progression (36.9%) and apoptosis resistance (P<0.01), along with down regulation of p53 protein expression in the cells (P<0.01), while the C-BEAS-2B cells interfering with circCCDC138 showed the opposite results (P<0.01). Conclusion BEAS-2B cells exposed to CBNPs (20 μg·mL⁻¹) have significantly enhanced migration and invasion abilities, showing early malignant transformation characteristics. In addition, circCCDC138 is highly expressed in C-BEAS-2B cells with RNase R digestive resistance and increases in a time-dependent manner with CBNPs exposure. More importantly, circCCDC138 may promote the induction of malignant transformation of cells by inhibiting p53 protein expression.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of toric collamer lens (TICL) rotation on myopia combined with astigmatism correction after V4c TICL implantation using standardized vector analysis.Methods:An observational case series study was performed.A total of 152 patients (268 eyes) who underwent V4c TICL implantation for the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism were enrolled at Henan Eye Hospital from January to December 2021.The preoperative spherical diopter, cylindrical diopter, and spherical equivalent (SE) were -15.00 to -3.25 D, -5.00 to -0.50 D, -16.50 to -3.88 D, respectively.Postoperative TICL vault and axis were measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and postoperative TICL rotation was calculated.Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical diopter, cylindrical diopter, SE, and target astigmatism vector were recorded before and 1 month after surgery.The effectiveness index, safety index, surgically induced astigmatism vector (SIA), margin of error (ME), absolute value of the difference vector |DV|, correction index (CI), and achievement index (IS) were calculated based on the subjective refraction results 1 month after surgery and the cylindrical axis of the V4c TICL.Vector analysis parameters was compared among patients with different preoperative astigmatism, intraoperative TICL fixation, postoperative TICL rotation, and postoperative vault.The correlation between postoperative TICL rotation and TICL fixed angle deviation, postoperative vault, visual acuity and refraction, and vector analysis parameters were evaluated.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEECKY-2021[13]).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:At 1 month postoperatively, the mean safety and efficacy indices were 1.27 and 1.29, respectively.There was no statistically significant difference between the predicted SE of (-0.11±0.13)D and the postoperative SE of (-0.07±0.52)D ( t=-0.994, P=0.321).UCVA, BCVA and cylinder diopter in the operative eyes were all improved after surgery compared to before surgery and the differences were statistically significant ( t=17.854, 5.446, -25.634; all P<0.001).The rotation of V4c TICL was 0° to 25°, with a mean of (5.41±4.35)°, which was positively correlated with the V4c TICL fixed angle deviation ( rs=0.461, P<0.001), negatively correlated with postoperative cylindrical diopter and positively correlated with postoperative UCVA, |DV| and SIA ( r=-0.360, 0.191, 0.205, 0.142; all P<0.05).Vector analysis between groups showed that vault, SIA and |DV| were higher and CI and IS were lower in low astigmatism group than in high astigmatism group ( Z=-3.017, -13.569, -2.793, -2.761, -4.779; all P<0.05).V4c TICL rotation and |DV| were lower in low fixation angle difference group than in high fixation angle difference group ( Z=-7.865, -2.080; both P<0.05).Preoperative cylindrical diopter, intraoperative V4c TICL fixed angle deviation, SIA and |DV| were lower in low rotation group than in high rotation group ( Z=-2.104, -4.578, -2.456, -2.090; all P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the TICL rotation or in each vector between patients with different vault after the surgery (all P>0.05). Conclusions:V4c TICL implantation can achieve good results for the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism.There is a slight difference between the fixation axis and the target axis of V4c TICL, which affects the rotation of V4c TICL and |DV|.Postoperative V4c TICL rotation is related to TICL fixed angle deviation, postoperative UCVA, SIA, |DV| and postoperative cylindrical diopter.Postoperative vault has no significant effect on TICL rotation and differences in each vector.

Objective:To explore the evaluation and relationship of hepatitis B virus(HBV)surface antigen(HBsAg)in clinical laboratory in different detection systems,further scientifically and reasonably to explain the test results for serving clinical practices.Methods:During the period from June 2021 to July 2022,100 425 specimens of patients with screened,suspected and confirmed HBV infections were collected from the clinical departments(mainly infectious hepatology)of Nanyang Central Hospital.Detection methodology included quantitative(electrochemiluminescence and chemiluminescence),qualitative(gold standard),semi-quantita-tive(ELISA),and highly sensitive HBV-DNA(RT-PCR)methods,and then analyzed the strengths and weaknesses and closeness be-tween each methodology.The relationship between the two Roche HBsAg detection systems was analyzed by correlation analysis.The HBsAg efficacy analysis was validated using Cut/Off value setting and detection limit,which in turn analyzed the distribution of false-positive and false-negative reporting models.Results:Detection results for low-and medium-concentration HBsAg showed a correla-tion between the electrochemical luminescence semi-quantitative method and ELISA method.ELISA method still had advantages in terms of sensitivity and specificity when detecting HBsAg,and there were no significant differences compared to domestic and interna-tional HBsAg quantitative detection systems.Performance validation conducted in accordance with the CNAS-GL038 document showed that the minimum detection limit for HBsAg calculated using the ELISA method in this laboratory was 0.1 U/ml.When the ROC curve Cut/Off value was set to 0.105,the area under the curve was the largest(AUC=0.986).Based on Roche's semi-quantitative electroche-miluminescence detection and patient medical history,in the common reporting model for hepatitis B five-item detection using ELISA method,HBsAg false positives occurred most frequently when HBsAg was positive alone,and HBsAg occurred most frequently in the false positive range when the OD value was less than 0.5.In ELISA method for detecting HBsAg,as the OD value increased from 0.01 to 0.10,the number of false-negative results also increased.Roche Elecsys HBsAg Ⅱ Quant Ⅱ and Elecsys HBsAg Ⅱ testing systems exhibited good linearity under certain conditions,with a ratio of approximately 1/0.18.In Elecsys HBsAg Ⅱ Quant Ⅱ detection sys-tem,the test results of HBsAg samples diluted 400 times were highly consistent with the original test results with a coefficient of deter-mination R2=0.993 8.Conclusion:There was a certain relationship between various detection systems of HBsAg at a suitable concen-tration.The detection of HBsAg by ELISA can meet the needs of clinical detection.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement(ViV-TMVR)in the treatment of bioprosthetic mitral valve failure.Methods Seventeen patients with bioprosthetic mitral valve failure who required ViV-TMVR were selected.Preoperative data including age,gender,body mass index(BMI),usage time of bioprosthetic mitral valve,comorbidities(hypertension,coronary heart disease,old cerebral infarction,atrial fibrillation and diabetes)and New York Heart Association(NYHA)functional class were recorded,and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),right atrial diameter(RA),pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),type of bioprosthetic mitral valve failure,degree of bioprosthetic mitral valve regurgitation and stenosis,peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the bioprosthetic mitral valve,and Society of Thoracic Surgeons(STS)score were also collected.Intraoperative data included puncture route,valve type,intraoperative complications,operation time and immediate postoperative transesophageal echocardiography(TEE)assessment(peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the valve-in-valve,valve-in-valve regurgitation or paravalvular regurgitation)were collected.Postoperative data included time in the intensive care unit(ICU)/cardiovascular intensive care unit(CCU),total postoperative hospital stay and 30-day postoperative echocardiographic results and NYHA functional class were recorded.Patients were divided into the domestic NewMed valve group(10 cases)and the imported Edwards valve group(7 cases)based on the type of valve used.The safety and efficacy of ViV-TMVR were analyzed,and the efficacy of domestic valves and imported valves was compared.Results All 17 patients successfully underwent ViV-TMVR via the transseptal approach without serious complications,and the 30-day readmission rate was 0%.There were no significant differences in operation time of domestic valves and imported valves,mild paravalvular regurgitation of the valve-in-valve,peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the valve-in-valve immediately after surgery and at 30-day postoperatively,time in ICU/CCU,total postoperative hospital stay and the proportion of patients with NYHA functional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ at 30-day postoperatively between the domestic valve group and the imported valve group.During the 30-day follow-up,one patient died of cerebral hemorrhage,and one patient had major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE,cerebral hemorrhage).Compared with before the operation,the peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the valve-in-valve,LVEF,and PASP decreased immediately after surgery and at 30 days after surgery.Compared with immediately after surgery,the peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the valve-in-valve increased at 30 days postoperatively(P＜0.01),while there were no significant differences in LVEF and PASP.Conclusion Transseptal ViV-TMVR is safe and effective in the short term for patients with bioprosthetic mitral valve failure who are at high risk of re-thoracotomy,and the efficacy of domestic valves is comparable to that of imported valves.

Objective To explore the impact of deep learning image reconstruction(DLIR)algorithms on image quality of chest CT,detection rate of lung nodule and reproducibility of lung nodule radiomics feature data compared with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction V(ASIR-V)algorithms.Methods Seventy-five patients with 211 lung nodules who underwent both ultra-low-dose CT(ULD-CT)and standard-dose CT(SDCT)were prospectively enrolled.ULD-CT images were reconstructed using different algorithms,namely high-level DLIR(DLIR-H),medium-level DLIR(DLIR-M)and 50％ASIR-V(50％ASIR-V),while SDCT images were reconstructed by 50％ASIR-V.Image noise was represented by the standard deviation(SD)of lung parenchyma CT values within identical ROI in both ULD-CT and SDCT images,and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)were calculated.The detection rate of lung nodule were obtained and compared among different images.Radiomics features of lung nodules in chest 50％ASIR-V SDCT and each ULD-CT were extracted based on automatic segmentation methods,and intra-class correlation coefficients(ICC)of each ULD-CT and 50％ASIR-V SDCT were calculated respectively,and then compared among different ULD-CT algorithms.Results Compared with SDCT images reconstructed with 50％ASIR-V algorithm,all ULD-CT images reconstructed by different algorithms showed higher SD and lower SNR(all P＜0.05).ULD-CT images reconstructed by DLIR-H,DLIR-M and 50％ASIR-V exhibited progressively increasing SD and decreasing SNR(all adjusted P＜0.05).Taken 50％ASIR-V SDCT images as standards,ULD-CT by DLIR-H,DLIR-M and 50％ASIR-V each detected 207 lung nodules(207/211,98.10％),respectively.In chest ULD-CT images,the reproducibility with 50％ASIR-V SDCT for texture feature data of lung nodules on ULD-CT reconstructed by 50％ASIR-V algorithm was lower than that by DLIR-H and DLIR-M(both adjusted P＜0.05),while no significant difference was found between the latter two with 50％ASIR-V SDCT(adjusted P＞0.05).The first order and shape feature data of lung nodules on ULD-CT reconstructed by all 3 algorithms showed good reproducibility with 50％ASIR-V SDCT(median ICC＞0.75),and no significant difference was detected among them(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with 50％ASIR-V ULD-CT,both DLIR-H and DLIR-M ULD-CT could significantly reduce image noise and improve image quality,as well as maintain reproducibility of radiomics features in lung nodules in a certain degree,especially DLIR-H.
