ObjectiveTo dynamically observe and evaluate the damage to the pulmonary air-blood barrier in mice during the inflammatory cancer transformation process of ulcerative colitis （UC） based on the "lung-intestine correlation" theory. MethodsSixty-five C57BL/6 mice were divided into a normal group （n=25） and a model group （n=40） using a random number table. Azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate （DSS） method was used to establish a mouse model of UC inflammation cancer transformation in the modeling group. According to the tissue collection time points at 5， 8， 11， 13， and 15 weeks， the normal group mice were randomly divided into the normal 5w， 8w， 11w， 13w， and 15w groups. The model group mice， 10 mice of which died after the first cycle of DSS administration， were randomly divided into model 5w， 8w， 11w， 13w， and 15w groups. During the experiment， the general condition of the mice was observed daily， and their body weight was measured weekly. At the corresponding tissue collection time points， the colon length of each group was measured. Histopathology of mouse lung and colon tissues was examined using HE staining. Immunofluorescence was used to detect changes in the positive expression of tight junction protein （ZO-1）， vascular endothelial cadherin （VE-cadherin）， and cytoskeletal protein （F-actin） in lung and colon tissues. RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of apoptosis regulatory proteins B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， BCL2-associated X protein （Bax）， and Cysteine aspartic acid protease-3 （Caspase-3） in lung tissues. Western Blot was employed to measure protein levels of ZO-1， VE-cadherin， and F-actin in lung tissues. ResultsCompared to the normal group at the same time point， the mice in the model group at each time point generally had poorer conditions， with weight loss and shortened colon length （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In the model 5w group， there was significant inflammatory cell infiltration in the colon tissue； in the model 8w group， there was mild atypical hyperplasia； in the model 11w group， the crypt structure was disordered， and moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia occurred； in the model 13w and 15w groups， tumors appeared. Pulmonary interstitial lesions， inflammation， vasculitis， and fibrosis were observed at all stages of UC inflammation cancer transformation. The protein levels of ZO-1， VE-cadherin， and F-actin， as well as Bcl-2 mRNA expression in lung tissue decreased during the acute inflammatory recovery period， atypical hyperplasia period， and canceration period， while the expressions of Bax and Caspase-3 mRNA increased； the expressions of ZO-1， VE-cadherin， and F-actin proteins in colon tissue decreased during the acute inflammatory recovery period， atypical hyperplasia period， and canceration period （P＜0.01 or P＜0.05）. Compared to the model 5w group， the ZO-1 and F-actin protein levels and Bcl-2 mRNA expression in lung tissue in the other model groups increased in the atypical hyperplasia period and canceration period， while the expressions of Bax and Caspase-3 mRNA decreased； the expression of ZO-1 protein in colon tissue increased in the canceration period， and the expression of VE-cadherin protein decreased in the atypical hyperplasia period （P＜0.01 or P＜0.05）. ConclusionIn the process of "inflammatory response-atypical hyperplasia-carcinogenesis" in UC inflammatory cancer transformation mice， there were damage to air-blood barrier.

Objective:To investigate the effect of betaine in oxygen-glucose deprivation injury of rat brain microvascular endothelial cells(BMECs),and to clarify the regulatory effect of betaine on phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)pathway.Methods:Five SD rats aged 7 d were selected and the rat BMSEs were obtained.The oxygen-glucose deprivation model of rat BMECs was prepared under hypoxic and hypoglycemic conditions;the experiment was divdided into model group,and low dose,medium dose,and high dose of betaine groups and positive control group,at the same time,blank control group(without modeling)was set up.The BMECs in blank control group and model group were treated with fresh medium,the BMECs in positive control group were given a final concentration of 10 μmnol·L-1 nimodipine,and the BMECs in low,medium and high doses of betaine groups were treated with betaine at final concentration of 0.5,1.0 and 2.0 mmol·L-1,respectively.The survival rates of BMECs in various groups were determined by CCK-8 method at 12,24 and 48 h after culture;the activities of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and the levels of adenine ribonucleoside triphosphate(ATP)in the rat BMECs in various groups were determined using kits,and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-6,IL-1β,and IL-18 in supernatants of the BMECs in various groups were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA);the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and levels of malondialdehyde(MDA)in the BMECs in various groups were determined by kits;the transendothelial resistance(TEER)values of rat BMSCs in various groups were determined by TEER analyzer,and the horseradish peroxidase(HRP)permeabilities of BMECs in various groups were determined by an insertion cell culture apparatus.TUNEL staining was used to determine the apoptotic rates of rat BMECs in vaisous groups,and Western blotting method was used to determine the ratios of phosphory lated PI3K(p-PI3K)/PI3K and phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT)/AKT in the rat BMECs in various groups.Results:Compared with blank control group,the survival rate of BMECs,activity of SOD,and level of ATP,value of TEER,and ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT of the rat BMECs in model group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while the activity of LDH,the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,IL-18,and MDA,the apoptotic rate of the BMECs,and HRP permeability were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with model group,the survival rates of the BMECs,activities of SOD,and levels of ATP,values of TEER,and ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT of the BMECs in low,medium,and high doses of betaine groups and positive control group were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the activities of LDH,the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,IL-18,and MDA,the apoptotic rates of BMECs and HRP permeabilities were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Betaine can significantly repair the oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion injury in the rat BMECs,inhibit the oxidative damage and apoptosis of BMECs,and improve the permeability of the cells;its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Objective To observe the effects of 3 different nutritional support modes of nasogastric tube nutrition,nasoenteric tube nutrition and nasoenteric tube combined with nasogastric tube nutrition on the biliary-related indices of critically ill patients.Methods The observational research method was conducted,the patients admitted to the department of intensive care unit(ICU)of Qingdao Hospital,University of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences(Qingdao Municipal Hospital)from June 2023 to May 2024 serving as the subjects of the study.The subjects were divided into three groups,namely the nasogastric tube group(indwelling nasogastric tube for enteral nutrition),the nasoenteric tube group(indwelling nasoenteric tube for enteral nutrition),and the mixed nutrition group(indwelling nasoenteric tube combined with naso-gastric tube for enteral nutrition)according to the different modes of enteral nutrition given.The clinical data of the patients was collected,including gender,age,previous underlying diseases,nutritional risk screening 2002(NRS2002)score,acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ),gallbladder volume,data on laboratory-related indices,and prognosis during hospitalisation.Compare the differences between the observed indicators and their change values before and after the initiation of enteral nutrition within each group;analyse the correlation between gallbladder volume and other observed indicators using Spearman's correlation analysis;screen the influencing factors of gallbladder volume using univariate regression analysis;screen the influencing factors of ICU patients'survival during hospitalisation using multifactorial Logistic regression analysis,and plot the receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)of the subjects to analyse the predictive value of each influencing factor on patients'prognosis.Results A total of 141 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study,comprising 54 cases in the nasogastric tube group,38 cases in the nasoenteric tube group,and 49 cases in the mixed nutrition group.Of the patients who survived during ICU hospitalization,105 survived,while 36 died,mortality was 25.53%.① No statistically significant differences were observed in the comparison of gender,age,previous underlying disease,NRS2002 score,and APACHEⅡscore among the enrolled groups.② A comparative analysis was conducted on the biliary-related indexes of the nasogastric tube and nasoenteric tube groups before and after the initiation of enteral nutrition.The results revealed no statistically significant differences between the two groups.On the 7th day of enteral nutrition initiation,the gallbladder volume of the nasoenteric tube group was found to be significantly larger than the gallbladder volume on the 1st day(cm3:28.00±6.36 vs.25.20±4.75,P<0.05).In the mixed nutrition group,the gallbladder volume on the initiation of enteral nutrition on day 7 was significantly smaller than that on the 1st day of initiating enteral nutrition(cm3:25.03±4.69 vs.28.68±5.96,P<0.05).③A comparative analysis was conducted among the three groups,revealing significant variations in the values of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),total bilirubin(TBil),indirect bilirubin(IBil),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),γ-glutamyltranspeptidase(γ-GT),and gallbladder volume across the groups.From 1-7 days following the initiation of enteral nutrition,the bile-related indexes in the nasoenteric tube group exhibited an increasing trend,while the bile-related indexes in the mixed nutrition group demonstrated a decreasing trend.④ Spearman correlation analysis showed that gallbladder volume was significantly and positively correlated with AST,ALT,ALP,and γ-GT(r values of 0.398,0.299,0.242,and 0.262,respectively,all P<0.01).⑤ Multivariate Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the initiation of enteral nutrition for 7 days was associated with a significant advantage,as indicated by an odds ratio(OR)of 1.031,with a 95%confidence interval(95%CI)of 1.004-1.058,and a P value was 0.024.Furthermore,the initiation of enteral nutrition for 7 d AST(OR=1.031,95%CI was 1.004-1.058,P=0.024),TBil(OR=1.187,95%CI was 1.039-1.355,P=0.011),and IBil(OR=0.707,95%CI was 0.542-0.921,P=0.010),and γ-GT(OR=0.985,95%CI was 0.972-0.999,P=0.034)were all factors affecting the survival of ICU patients during hospitalisation.Conclusions In the context of patients receiving intensive care,the prolonged utilisation of nasoenteric feeding tubes for a duration exceeding seven days has been observed to potentially induce an augmentation in gallbladder volume and an elevation in biliary-related indices,including ALT,AST,ALP,and γ-GT.The concomitant administration of nasogastric feeding,grounded in the foundation of simple nasoenteric tube nutrition,has been demonstrated to result in a reduction of these biliary-related indices to a certain extent.

Objective To compare the efficacy,acceptability and safety of a low-volume magnisium sodicum potassium sulfate oral sulfate solution(OSS)with polyethylene glycol(PEG)electrolytes powder in bowel preparation for colonoscopy.Methods A prospective,single-blinded and single-center cohort study was conducted.The ambulatory and hospitalized 1 037 patients who underwent colonoscopy from April 2023 to January 2024 were enrolled.Participants were divided into OSS group(639 cases)and PEG group(398 cases),according to the bowel cleansing drugs taken orally.After propensity score matching(PSM),each group included 385 cases.The success rate of bowel preparation,scores of Boston bowel preparation scale(BBPS),medication taste,patients'satisfaction and the occurrence of adverse events were compared.Results The success rate of bowel preparation in the OSS group was 96.4％(371/385),higher than the 91.7％(353/385)in the PEG group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The total and segmented BBPS scores of the OSS group were higher than those of the PEG group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The medication taste and patients satisfaction of the OSS group were significantly better than those of the PEG group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P=0.800).Conclusion Compared to PEG,OSS has a better intestinal cleaning effect,medication taste,and patients satisfaction.In addition,OSS has security that is not inferior to PEG.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of modified Shaoyao Decoction with Astragali Radix and Houttuynize Herba in regulating PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway against intestinal mucosal barrier injury in ulcerative colitis (UC) rats.Methods:Totally 72 Wistar rats were randomly divided into a blank control group, a model group, a mesalazine group, and modified Shaoyao Decoction high-, medium-, and low-dose groups using a random number table method. After successful modeling, the mesalazine group was given 0.2 g/kg of mesalazine suspension by gavage, while modified Shaoyao Decoction high-, medium-, and low-dose groups were given 44.5, 22.3, and 11.1 g/kg of modified Shaoyao Decoction by gavage, once a day, for a total of 4 weeks. The pathological changes of colon tissue were observed using HE staining; immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the expressions of tight junction protein (ZO-1), cytoskeletal protein (F-actin), and vascular endothelial cadherin (VE cadherin) in colon tissue; Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of PI3K, Akt, NF-κB, VEGF, and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) in colon tissue; QRT PCR was used to detect the expressions of PI3K and Akt mRNA in colon tissue; ELISA method was used to detect the levels of serum TNF-α and endothelin (ET).Results:Compared with the model group, the DAI scores of the mesalazine group and modified Shaoyao Decoction high-dosage group decreased significantly on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day after modeling ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). In mesalazine group and modified Shaoyao Decoction high-, medium-, and low-dose groups, the pathological injury score of colon tissue decreased ( P<0.01), the immunofluorescence intensity of ZO-1, F-actin and VE-cadherin protein expression in colon tissue increased ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the expressions of PI3K, Akt, NF-κB and VEGF protein decreased ( P<0.01). The expression of COX-2 protein and the levels of PI3K mRNA and Akt mRNA decreased in the mesalazine group and modified Shaoyao Decoction high- and medium groups ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:Modified Shaoyao Decoction can antagonize the intestinal barrier injury of UC by inhibiting PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway and promote the healing of intestinal mucosal ulcer.

Objective To establish an initial diagnostic method for β-thalassemia (BT) using a double antibody sandwich ELISA approach. Methods The hybridoma producing monoclonal antibodies against anti-HbF were screened using a trailing count method. The mAbs were evaluated through ELISA,modified immunocytochem-istry,and Western blot analysis. A double antibody-sandwich ELISA assay was established by labeling the pairs of mAbs with ALP using the glutaral method,and this detection system was used to analyze 40 serum samples. Results The results demonstrate the successful generation of nine hybridoma cell lines capable of secreting highly active anti-HbF monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Specifically,four mAbs (3F7,4G1,6C1,and 9H7) exhibited exclusive reactivity towards HbF without any cross-reactivity with hemoglobin variants (HbA and HbA2). These four HbF-specific mAbs displayed exceptional specificity and sensitivity,with a maximum titer of 1:256000 and the highest affinity constant (Ka) recorded at 2.36×108 L/mol. Among these mAbs,optimal antibody pairing was achieved using capture antibody 3F7 in conjunction with ALP-4G1 for the development of a sandwich ELISA detec-tion method. By employing this approach,fetal and healthy human blood samples were successfully quantified for HbF levels with an impressive detection sensitivity reaching up to 80％. Conclusion This sandwich ELISA dem-onstrated precise quantification of HbF levels,making it suiTab.for both research and diagnostic purposes in the field of β-thalassemia.

Objective To investigate the distribution of A subgroups in the A and AB blood type populations among voluntary blood donors in Zhongshan,study the antigen-antibody characteristics of A subgroups,establish a local A subgroup database,and support the development of precision medicine.Methods ABO subgroup screening was performed using the microplate method.Specimens negative for monoclonal anti-A1 reactivity underwent sequencing of exons 1～7 of the ABO gene to confirm genotypes.Cryopreservation and thawing of glycerolized subgroup red blood cells(RBCs),as well as preservation efficacy of concentrated human-derived antibodies with preservatives,were studied.Results Among 1 212 blood donor specimens,28 subgroup specimens were identified,with a prevalence of 1.54%(15/971)in blood type A and 5.39%(13/241)in blood type AB.Sequencing of 10 specimens revealed 7 ABO genotypes:ABO*A2.01/O.01.02(2 cases),ABO*A1.02/B.01(3 cases),ABO*BA.02/O.01.02,ABO*AW.31.02-05/A2.05,ABO*A2.05/B.01,ABO*A2new/O.01.01,and ABO*A1.02/O.01.01(1 case each).Additionally,one rare allele mutation(c.700C>G)and one novel allele mutation(c.203G>T)(GenBank accession number:PQ152337)were identified.Human anti-A1 antibodies with a titer of 8 were successfully concentrated.Optimal preservation conditions included 0.1%preservative concentration and cryopreserved subgroup RBCs stored at 4℃for 3 days post-thaw.Conclusion The predominant A subgroups in Zhongshan donors are A2 and B(A).A preliminary database for A2 and A2B subgroups is established,along with the discovery of a novel ABO allele mutation.Cryopreservation with glycerol,PEG antibody concentration,and ProClin 300 preservative demonstrate effective applications in preserving ABO blood group antigens and antibodies.
