Five compounds were isolated and purified from the water extract of Elaeagnus oxycarpa Schlechtend leaf by multi-dimensional reversed-phase preparative liquid chromatographic system based on the separation and enrichment model. Their structures were identified by spectral analysis such as NMR, MS, UV, IR and by comparison with literature information as 2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (1), elaeagnussugarester B (2), elaeagnussugarester A (3), elaeagnussugarester C (4), gallic acid (5). Compounds 2-4 are new compounds, compound 1 was isolated from Elaeagnus oxycarpa Schlechtend for the first time. The antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase activities of these compounds were evaluated by using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical method, the 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) free radical method, the potassium ferricyanide reduction method and the colorimetric method with L-tyrosine as substrate. The results showed that compounds 2-5 have good antioxidant activities and inhibitory effect on tyrosinase. Compound 4 exhibited the most strong antioxidant activities, with IC₅₀ = 3.59 ± 0.06 μmol·L^-1 for DPPH free radical scavenging ability, IC₅₀ = 10.04 ± 0.20 μmol·L^-1 for ABTS free radical scavenging ability, and total reduction capacity of compound 4 was better than vitamin C respectively. Compound 3 possessed better inhibitory effect on tyrosinase with IC₅₀ = 0.25 ± 0.06 mmol·L^-1.

Objective:To investigate the effect of feeder layer cells expressing interleukin(IL)-21 on the amplification of NK cells in vitro.Methods:The K562 cell line with IL-21 expression on its membrane was constructed by electroporation,and co-cultured with NK cells after inactivation.The proliferation of NK cells was observed.The killing function of the amplified NK cells in vitro was evaluated by the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and interferon-γ(IFN-y)release assay.A colorectal cancer xenograft model in NOD/SCID mice was established,and a blank control group,a NK cell group and an amplified NK cell group were set up to detect the tumor killing effect of amplified NK cells in vivo.Results:K562 cells expressing IL-21 on the membrane were successfully constructed by electroporation.After co-culturing with K562 cells expressing IL-21 on the membrane for 17 days,the NK cells increased to 700 times,which showed an enhanced amplification ability compared with control group(P＜0.001).In the tumor cell killing experiment in vitro,there was no significant difference in the killing activity on tumor cells between NK cells and amplified NK cells,and there was also no significant difference in mice in vivo.Conclusion:K562 cells expressing IL-21 on the membrane can significantly increase the amplification ability of NK cells in vitro,but do not affect the killing function of NK cells in vitro and in vivo.It can be used for the subsequent large-scale production of NK cells in vitro.

Objective:To explore the effects of graft recipient weight ratio (GRWR) on the early prognosis (within 1 year after operation) of recipients of different ages after split liver transplantation (SLT) in children.Methods:From April 2015 to December 2022, the relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 188 children aged under 12 years undergoing initial SLT. Based upon operative age, they were assigned into groups of L (age≤18 months, 123 cases) and H (18 months< age≤12 years, 65 cases). Draw receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for predicting survival rates in H and L groups using GRWR and determine the cut-off value, and subgroup dassification was based the value. Compare the general condition, intraoperative condition, postoperative condition, and major complications of recipients. Follow-ups were conducted until 12 months post-SLT, death or retransplantation within 12months post-SLT. Kaplan-Meier survival rate analysis was utilized for comparing early postoperative survival rate of recipient/graft. The incidence of major early postoperative complications was examined by χ2 test or Fisher exact probability method. Results:The survival rate of recipients at Month 12 post-SLT was 92.6% (174/188), and graft survival rate was 91.0% (171/188). The survival rate of recipients in group L at Month 12 post-SLT was 94.3% (116/123), and graft survival rate was 92.7% (114/123). The GRWR value determined of 3.1 %. According to the level of GRWR, group L was divided into groups of L-L (GRWR≤3.1%, 36 cases) and L-H (GRWR>3.1%, 87 cases) while group H groups of H-L (GRWR≤3.1%, 55 cases) and H-H (GRWR>3.1%, 10 cases). The survival rates of recipients in groups L-L/L-H were 88.9% (32/36) and 96.6% (84/87) at Month 12 post-SLT. Inter-group difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.077). Graft survival rates were 83.3% (30/36) and 96.6% (84/87 ). Inter-group difference was statistically significant ( P=0.007). The intraoperative cold ischemia time were 479.0 (194.0, 593.0) min and 204.0 (122.0, 495.0) min in groups L-L/L-H. Inter-group difference was statistically significant ( P=0.002 ). The incidence of hepatic artery thrombosis were 13.9 % (5/36) and 2.3 % (2/87) in groups L-L/L-H. Inter-group difference was statistically significant ( P=0.036). The survival rate of recipients in group H at Month 12 post-SLT was 89.2% (58/65), and graft survival rate was 87.7% (57/65). No significant inter-group difference existed during surgery ( P>0.05 ). The survival rates of recipients in group H-L/H-H at Month 12 post-SLT were 92.7 % (51 /55) and 70.0 % (7/10 ). Inter-group difference was statistically significant ( P=0.019). Graft survival rates were 90.9% (50/55) and 70.0% (7/10). Inter-group difference was statistically significant ( P=0.036). No significant inter-group difference existed in the incidence of complications ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:During pediatric SLT, recipients of different ages have different requirements for GRWR. GRWR≤3.1 % implies poor early prognosis of recipients aged ≤18 months and GRWR>3.1% is associated with poor early prognosis of recipients aged between 18 months and 12 years.

Objective:To explore the risk factors and treatments of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in children after pediatric living donor liver transplantation (pLDLT) .Method:From January 2014 to December 2021, the relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 975 LDLT children at Department of Pediatric Organ Transplantation of Tianjin First Central Hospital. Based upon the postoperative occurrence of PVT, they were assigned into two groups of PVT (19 cases) and non-PVT (956 cases). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for screening the risk factors of PVT post-LDLT and discussing the managements and prognoses of PVT.Result:Among them, overall incidence of PVT post-LDLT was 1.9% (19/975), and median time for an initial occurrence of PVT 8 (1-495) day. Single-factor analysis indicated that donor height ( P=0.014), operative duration ( P=0.002) and vascular interposition ( P=0.001) were correlated with the occurrence of postoperative PVT post-pLDLT. Multifactorial analysis revealed that operative duration ( P=0.008) and vascular interposition ( P<0.01) were independent risk factors for PVT post-pLDLT. For 19 cases of postoperative PVT, the measures included surgical thrombectomy (8 cases), urokinase thrombolysis plus warfarin anticoagulation (3 cases), interventional treatment (3 cases), warfarin anticoagulation (4 cases) and retransplantation (1 cases). After treatment, the outcomes were a disappearance of PVT (15 cases), symptomatic improvement (2 cases) and unrelated mortality (2 cases) . Conclusion:During pLDLT, intraoperative placement of blood vessels and operative duration are independent risk factors for the occurrence of PVT. Timely standardized treatment may achieve satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.

Objective:To explore the standardized performance of a FISH probe before clinical detection.Methods:The probe sensitivity and specificity of ETV6/RUNX1 were analyzed via interphase and metaphase FISH in 20 discarded healthy bone marrow samples. The threshold system of the probe was established using an inverse beta distribution, and an interpretation standard was established.

Tetrandrine(TET),a natural bisbenzyl isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from Stephania tetrandra S.Moore,has diverse pharmacological effects.However,its effects on melanoma remain unclear.Cellular prolif-eration assays,multi-omics analyses,and xenograft models were used to determine the effect of TET on melanoma.The direct target of TET was identified using biotin-TET pull-down liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry(LC-MS),cellular thermal shift assays,and isothermal titration calorimetry(ITC)analysis.Our findings revealed that TET treatment induced robust cellular autophagy depending on activating transcription factor 6(ATF6)-mediated endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress.Simultaneously,it hindered autophagic flux by inducing cytoskeletal protein depolymerization in melanoma cells.TET treatment resulted in excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and simultaneously triggered mitophagy.Sirtuin 5(SIRT5)was ultimately found to be a direct target of TET.Mechanistically,TET led to the degradation of SIRT5 via the ubiquitin(Ub)-26S proteasome system.SIRT5 knockdown induced ROS accumulation,whereas SIRT5 overexpression attenuated the TET-induced ROS accumula-tion and autophagy.Importantly,TET exhibited anti-cancer effects in xenograft models depending on SIRT5 expression.This study highlights the potential of TET as an antimelanoma agent that targets SIRT5.These findings provide a promising avenue for the use of TET in melanoma treatment and underscore its potential as a therapeutic candidate.

Objective:To construct a rehabilitation nursing program for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients with kinesiophobia based on capacity, opportuniy, motivation-behavior (COM-B) theoretical model, and to provide reference for clinical staff to implement rehabilitation treatment.Methods:From August to December 2023, literature analysis was used to construct a preliminary program, combined the COM-B theoretical model with the rehabilitation exercise guidelines and expert consensus. The rehabilitation nursing program for TKA patients with kinesiophobia was formed through 2 rounds of Delphi expert correspondence consultation, and the analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weight of each item.Results:A total of 15 experts were included, including 4 males and 11 females, aged (45.80 ± 5.72) years old. The effective recovery rate of the 2 rounds of expert correspondence questionnaires were 15/15, the expert authority coefficients were 0.860 and 0.875, and the Kendall coordination coefficients were 0.155 and 0.172, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 97.70, 105.91, both P<0.01). The final rehabilitation nursing program for TKA patients with kinesiophobia included 3 primary indexes, 8 secondary indexes and 25 tertiary indexes. Conclusions:The rehabilitation nursing program for TKA patients with kinesiophobia constructed based on COM-B theoretical model is scientific and practical, and can provide a practical basis for clinical staff.

Objective To investigate the differences in clinical characteristics among children on prolonged mechanical ventilation(PMV)due to different primary diseases.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 59 pediatric patients requiring PMV from July 2017 to September 2022.According to the primary disease,they were divided into respiratory disease(RD)group,central nervous system(CNS)group,neuromuscular disease(NMD)group,and other disease group.The four groups were compared in terms of general information,treatment,and outcome.Results There were significant differences among the four groups in age,body weight,Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2(PELOD-2)score,Pediatric Risk of Mortality Ⅲ(PRISM Ⅲ)score,analgesic and sedative treatment,nutrition supply,rehabilitation treatment,tracheotomy,successful ventilator weaning,and outcomes(P＜0.05).Compared with the RD group,the CNS group and the other disease group had a significantly higher age and a significantly higher proportion of children receiving rehabilitation treatment,and the CNS group had a significantly higher proportion of children receiving tracheotomy(P＜0.008).Compared with the other disease group,the CNS group and the NMD group had significantly lower PELOD-2 and PRISM Ⅲ scores,and the CNS group had a significantly higher proportion of children with successful ventilator weaning and a significantly higher proportion of children who were improved and discharged(P＜0.008).Conclusions There are differences in clinical characteristics among children receiving PMV due to different etiologies.Most children in the RD group have a younger age,and children in the CNS group have a relatively good prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the outcome of skin injury and urinary arsenic methylation metabolism levels in people exposed to arsenic through drinking water.Methods:Using cluster sampling method, permanent residents from drinking-water-borne endemic arsenic poisoning areas in Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were selected as survey subjects in 2004 (before water improvement). In 2017 (after water improvement), 74 survey subjects from 2004 were tracked and followed up. Urine samples were collected from survey subjects and high-performance liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to detect the levels of arsenic methylation metabolites in urine. According to the "Diagnosis of Endemic Arsenic Poisoning" (WS/T 211-2015), the clinical grading (normal, suspicious, mild, moderate and severe) of skin injury of the survey subjects and the outcome of 2017 (improved, unchanged, aggravated) were assessed. A database was established and SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:The clinical grading ratios of skin injuries among survey subjects in 2004 and 2017 were compared, the differences were statistically significant (normal, suspicious, mild, moderate and severe: 38, 18, 4, 14 cases in 2004 and 27, 31, 3, 13 cases in 2017, χ 2 = 53.02, P < 0.001). Compared with 2004, in 2017, the levels of total arsenic (tAs), inorganic arsenic (iAs), monomethylarsenic (MMA), dimethylarsenic (DMA), percentage of inorganic arsenic (iAs%), and ratio of monomethylarsenic to dimethylarsenic (MMA/DMA) in the urine of survey subjects were low, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = - 8.24, - 9.07, - 7.81, - 8.04, - 8.24, - 3.56, P < 0.001). The levels of dimethylarsenic percentage (DMA%), monomethylation rate (PMI) and dimethylation rate (SMI) were higher, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = - 6.39, - 8.24, - 3.52, P < 0.001). In 2004, patients with different clinical grading of skin injuries had different outcomes in 2017 (χ 2 = 30.80, P < 0.001). There were statistically significant differences in tAs, iAs, MMA and DMA variation in urine among skin injury patients with different outcomes ( H = 10.62, 9.35, 8.80, 9.13, P < 0.05). Conclusions:Improving water can significantly reduce the levels of tAs, iAs, MMA, and DMA in the urine of arsenic exposed individuals. The outcome of skin injury in individuals exposed to arsenic through drinking water is related to the variation of urinary arsenic methylation metabolites tAs, iAs, MMA, and DMA.
