Objective:To investigate the role and molecular mechanisms of transcription factor EB (TFEB) and its target genes in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) with bortezomib.Methods:TFEB target genes were predicted using the GTRD database (http://gtrd.biouml.org/), identifying Ptch1 gene for further study. Expression changes of Ptch1 in RPMI8226 and U266 MM cell lines after bortezomib treatment were assessed by real time fluorogenic quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot. RPMI8226 and U266 cell lines were transfected with siRNA-TFEB, and mRNA and protein levels of key factors (Ptch1, Gli1) in the Ptch1/Hedgehog signaling pathway were measured by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Furthermore, Ptch1 was overexpressed in MM cell lines via lentiviral transduction. Autophagy was evaluated by acridine orange staining, and protein levels of LC3B, Beclin-1, and Lamp-1 were measured by Western blot. Lysosomal quantity changes were assessed by lysosomal fluorescent probes.Results:Bortezomib (6.0×10 -6 mmol/L, 24 h) significantly reduced Ptch1 mRNA and protein levels in both cell lines compared with blank control group (all P<0.05). siRNA-TFEB transfection reversed bortezomib’s inhibition of Hedgehog pathway key factors Ptch1 and Gli. Ptch1 overexpression in bortezomib-treated RPMI8226 and U266 cells significantly reduced the relative expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3B, Beclin-1, and Lamp-1 (all P=0.001). Acridine orange staining showed fewer acidic vesicular organelles within two cell lines (all P=0.001). The relative fluorescence expressions of lysosomal probes reflecting the number of lysosomes were also decreased ( P values of RPMI8226 and U266 cell lines were 0.001 and 0.007, respectively) . Conclusion:The knockdown of TFEB can specifically promote the expression of the Ptch1/Hedgehog signaling pathway, thereby reducing bortezomib-induced autophagy in MM cells and reversing the inhibitory effect of bortezomib on the proliferation of MM cell lines.

BACKGROUND:Patients with lumbar disc herniation have different physical deformities due to nucleus pulposus compression and mechanical imbalance. On this basis,Professor Feng Tianyou proposed the "four-step waist type." Professor Feng Wei proposed the objective quantification of three-dimensional scoliosis angle "four-step waist type."OBJECTIVE:To explore the application value of three-dimensional scoliosis angle in evaluating the efficacy of Feng's spinal manipulation in the treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation.METHODS:A total of 149 hospitalized patients with lumbar disc herniation were enrolled sequentially,including 96 cases of type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ and 55 cases of type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ. The patients were treated with manual therapy for 2 weeks,and 10 healthy volunteers were included as healthy controls. The three-dimensional scoliosis angle was measured using surface topography technology. The difference of three scoliosis angles between patients with type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ and type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ was compared before and after treatment. The difference between patients after treatment and healthy subjects was compered. The difference of three-dimensional scoliosis angles between type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ and type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ after treatment was compared. The intrinsic correlation of each projection plane of three-dimensional scoliosis angle and its correlation with commonly used clinical efficacy scores were explored.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The three-dimensional scoliosis angle was significantly different in patients with type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ and type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ before and after treatment (P<0.05). (2) There were significant differences in coronal curve angle and transverse curve angle between patients with type-Ⅰ/Ⅱ,type-Ⅲ/Ⅳ and healthy subjects (P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in sagittal curve angle (P>0.05). (3) There was a correlation between the angles of each section of the three-dimensional angle,and there was a correlation between the three-dimensional angle and the subjective scale. (4) It is indicated that the three-dimensional scoliosis angle can quantitatively evaluate the changes of body deformity before and after treatment. Quantitative indicators can reveal the changes in the patient's condition before and after treatment. The three-dimensional scoliosis angle can reflect the severity of the impact on the patient's living conditions,but the evaluation of scoliosis by a single plane parameter has certain limitations.

Objective To prepare paclitaxel-natural borneol complex,and to explore the prescription and preparation process of paclitaxel-natural borneol complex drug-loaded submicroemulsion,and its in vitro anti-tumor effect.Methods The Paclitaxel-natural borneol complex was prepared by grinding method and identified by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR)and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC).The compound drug-loaded submicroemulsion was prepared using a two-step high-pressure emulsification method.The single-factor investigation and the orthogonal experimental design were applied to optimize the formulation and preparation process.MTT assay,cell cloning assay,and cell scratch assay were used to evaluate the effect of this preparation on HCT-116 cells.Results The infrared spectral absorption peaks of taxol-natural borneol complex at 3 312.76 cm-1 and 3 513.92 cm-1 disappeared,and DSC analysis showed that a new absorption peak of taxol-natural borneol complex appeared at 154.56 ℃,indicating that taxol be coupled with natural borneol to form a new complex.The optimal prescription was 0.44％active pharmaceutical ingredient[paclitaxel-natural borneol(1∶3)],10％medium chain triglyceride,3％emulsifier[egg yolk lecithin-Poloxam 188(1∶2)],2％glycerol,0.3％oleate.The optimal process was emulsification at 80 ℃,60 MPa high pressure homogenization 10 times.The half inhibitory concentration(IC50)was 0.75 μg·mL-1 by MTT asssy in cell.In the cell cloning assay,the scratch healing area of blank control group,paclitaxel raw material and paclitaxel/natural borneol submicroemulsion were(36.44±3.35)％,(13.59±9.28)％,(8.30±4.09)％,respectively.The results were statistically significant(P＜0.05).In the plate cloning experiment,the cell cloning rates of blank control group,paclitaxel bulk drug group and submicroemulsion group were(37.92±0.729)％,(9.16±1.335)％and(3.36±1.065)％,respectively,the differents were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion This submicroemulsion has reasonable prescription,feasible process and good stability.Cell experiments showed that the submicronemulision effectively inhibits the proliferation and migration of HCT-116 cells,suggesting its potential as a promising antitumor agent.

Objective To explore the main categories and changing directions of hospitalization expenses of gynecological tumors,and provide strategies and suggestions for effectively controlling hospitalization expenses and improving the payment scheme of medical insurance fund.Methods The expense information of patients discharged from Huzhou Central Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 was collected,and analyzed by the payment method of structural variation and disease diagnosis related groups(DRG)with grey correlation,and the correlation degree was observed.Results From 2020 to 2022,the average hospitalization cost of 2 138 gynecological tumor patients showed a downward trend.The hospitalization cost structure of patients showed that surgical and laboratory expenses accounted for a relatively high proportion,while nursing and treatment expenses accounted for a relatively low proportion.The changes in the hospitalization structure of patients showed that material costs were gradually decreasing,while operating costs,bed fees,pathology fees,and nursing fees were gradually increasing.Diagnosis and treatment fees,drug fees,radiation fees,testing fees,treatment fees,surgery fees,and other expenses were first decreasing and then increasing.In the hospitalization expenses of gynecological tumors from 2020 to 2022,the most closely related expenses were surgical expenses,drug expenses,and laboratory expenses,while the least related expenses were bed expenses,nursing expenses,and treatment expenses.The proportion of patient hospitalization expenses was basically consistent with the degree of correlation.The structural change rate of hospitalization expenses for gynecological tumors from 2020 to 2022 was 13.67％,with a structural change rate of 14.61％from 2020 to 2021 and 10.77％from 2021 to 2022.The direction of structural changes showed that from 2020 to 2022,there were positive changes in operating fees,bed fees,pathology fees,and nursing fees,with significant changes in surgical fees.The largest contribution rate of changes in the hospitalization cost structure of gynecological tumors from 2020 to 2022 was surgical expenses,accounting for 37.29％,followed by examination expenses,accounting for 13.08％.The contribution rates of various expenses to the structural changes of average hospitalization expenses varied during different time periods.From 2020 to 2021,the largest contribution rate of hospitalization expense structural changes was surgical expenses,accounting for 33.05％,followed by drug expenses,accounting for 12.05％.From 2021 to 2022,the largest contribution rate of hospitalization expense structural changes was surgical expenses,accounting for 48.00％,followed by drug expenses,accounting for 16.85％.Correlation analysis showed that the hospitalization expenses of patients were related to medical insurance type and length of stay(P＜0.05).Conclusion The average hospitalization cost of gynecological tumor patients has been effectively controlled,and their clinical hospitalization costs are gradually rationalized.However,material and surgical costs still have a significant impact on the hospitalization costs of patients,indicating that the labor value of clinical medical personnel has increased less.DRG payment can control clinical medical expenses to a certain extent,and further optimization is needed to improve supporting policies,enhance the technical value of medical personnel,and strengthen the management of medical consumables.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between lung ultrasound score at the end of spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h and their predictive value of extubation outcome in patients with intro-abdominal infection (IAI) under mechanical ventilation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. Patients with IAI under mechanical ventilation for more than 48 h were collected from three hospitals from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018. Routine demographic variables and clinical characteristics were recorded. The patients were divided into the successful extubation group and failed extubation group according to whether they could maintain spontaneous breathing for 48 h after extubation. LUS at the end of SBT (before extubation) and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h were compared between the two groups. LUS and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h were analyzed by bivariate correlation analysis, and their correlations with shallow fast breathing index (RSBI) and precursor protein of BNP (Pro-BNP) were analyzed. The predictive value of LUS at the end of SBT (before extubation) and cumulative fluid balance for extubation failure were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results:Totally 207 patients were enrolled. There were significant differences in LUS before extubation [12 (10, 14) vs. 16 (14, 17) points], cumulative fluid balance [-318 (-1 116, 200) mL vs. 1 140 (685, 1 614) mL], RSBI [60 (55, 66) (times/min)/L vs. 70 (65, 78) (times/min)/L], pro-BNP [250 (122, 1 292) pg/mL vs. 1156 (285, 4 346) pg/mL], IAP >15 mmHg [32.8% vs. 46.6%], and ICU stay [8 (6, 12) days vs. 11 (8, 14) days] ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the COPD history, RSBI, LUS at the end of SBT, and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h before extubation were independent risk factors for extubation failure. Correlation analysis showed that LUS was moderately correlated with cumulative fluid balance at 48 h ( r=0.41, P<0.001), weakly correlated with RSBI ( r=0.381, P<0.001), and weakly correlated with pro-BNP ( r=0.220, P<0.001). Cumulative fluid balance at 48 h was weakly correlated with RSBI ( r=0.31, P<0.001), but not with pro-BNP. LUS at the end of SBT and cumulative liquid balance at 48 h had predictive value for extubation failure [AUC=0.87 (95% CI: 0.82-0.91), AUC=0.89 (95% CI: 0.85-0.94), P<0.001]. Conclusions:There is a moderate correlation between LUS at the end of SBT (before extubation) and 48 h cumulative fluid balance in patients with IAI and mechanical ventilation. LUS at the end of SBT (before extubation) and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h have some predictive value for extubation failure.
