Fusion variations of neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) are oncogenic drivers in various solid tumors such as breast cancer, salivary gland carcinoma, infant fibrosarcoma, etc. Gene rearrangements involving NTRK1/2/3 lead to constitutive activation of the tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) domain, and the expressed fusion proteins drive tumor growth and survival. NTRK fusions are estimated to occur at a frequency of approximately 0.1% to 1% in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are prevalent in NSCLC, but the frequency of EGFR G719A mutation is relatively low (about 2%), and EGFR mutations are typically mutually exclusive with NTRK fusion variants. The study presented the first documented case of lung adenocarcinoma harboring both EGFR G719A mutation and LMNA-NTRK1 fusion. A review of the literature was conducted to elucidate the role of NTRK fusion mutations in NSCLC and their relationship with EGFR mutations, aiming to enhance the understanding of NTRK fusion mutations in NSCLC.

Objective:To investigate the effects of decellularised extracellular matrix material(dECM)extract on macrophage survival,migration,phagocytosis,pro-inflammatory factor expression and ROS production.Methods:CCK-8 method was used to detect whether the extract of dECM material had cytotoxicity on macrophages;effects of dECM material extracts on macrophage recruit-ment and chemotaxis were examined by Transwell migration assay;effects of dECM material extract on macrophage phagocytosis were detected by pHrodo staining;effects of dECM material extract on expression of pro-inflammatory genes and pro-inflammatory specific functional molecules were detected by RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining;detection of the effect of dECM material extracts on macrophage ROS production by the DCFH-DA fluorescent probe approach.Results:Compared with DMEM complete medium,①CCK-8 assay showed that dECM material extract had no toxic effect on macrophages,and could promote the formation of macrophage colonies;②pHrodo staining assay showed that dECM material extract did not affect phagocytosis of macrophages;③Transwell migra-tion assay showed that dECM material extract did not promote macrophage migration;④RT-qPCR results showed that dECM material extracts were able to down-regulate gene expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and specific functional molecules;⑤Flow cytome-try results showed that dECM material extract could reduce the production of ROS by macrophages.dECM material extract had excel-lent biocompatibility for macrophages.Conclusion:dECM material extract is non-toxic to macrophages and is able to reduce macro-phage pro-inflammatory gene expression and ROS production.

To investigate the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Yunnan Province, explore its risk factors, and provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). This is a large cross-sectional study, in all, 1 524 DM patients in 16 communities and villages of Yunnan Province who were registered in health service centers were included in this study from August to November 2019. All patients completed a uniform questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, biochemical measurements, and auxiliary examinations. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of DR. The prevalence rates of DR, mild non-proliferative DR (mild-NPDR), and referable DR (RDR) were 16.0% (244/1 524), 4.5% (69/1 524), and 11.5% (175/1 524), respectively. Glycated hemoglobin A 1c (HbA 1c)≥7.0% was the risk factor of mild-NPDR ( OR=1.872, 95% CI 1.055-3.323) and RDR ( OR=4.821, 95% CI 2.917-7.969). Blood pressure≥130/80 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) was the risk factor of mild-NPDR ( OR=1.933, 95% CI 1.112-3.358) and RDR ( OR=1.505, 95% CI 1.063-2.130). In Yunnan Province, 16.0% DM patients had accompanying DR, wherein about 71.7% of them required an ophthalmology referral, and the high incidence of RDR in DM patients was associated with poor control of blood glucose and blood pressure.

Objective To explore the role of TMAO from gut microbiota in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),we detected the serum level of TMAO and its precursor metabolites in NAFLD,as well as the expression level of Eubacterium rectum,Bacteroidetes multiforme,Lactobacillus and bifidobacterium in the intestinal flora.Methods We collected 118 subjects and divided into NAFLD group(86 cases)and healthy control group(32 cases)randomly.We also detected the serum level of TMAO and its precursor metabolites in subjects by high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection(LC-MS),and the expression of target bacterial DNA was detected by qRT-PCR.Results Serum TMAO,TMA and choline levels were significantly increased in NAFLD(P<0.05),and liver fat content was positively correlated with TMAO(P<0.05).The expression level of Lactobacillus and Eubacterium rectum in NAFLD group were increased(P<0.05);the expression level of Bifidobacterium and Bacteroides multiform were decreased(P<0.05).The serum TMAO level was positively correlated with Eubacterium rectum(r=0.280,P<0.05),and negatively correlated with Bifidobacterium(r=-0.332,P<0.05).Conclusion The level of TMAO in serum shows a positive correlation with NAFLD.The structure of intestinal flora in individuals with NAFLD is altered and linked to TMAO.This suggests that the intestinal flora may have a significant impact on the development of NAFLD through TMAO.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of rhIFN-γ on human chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K562,and the impaction on the expression of CD123.Methods MTT method was used to test cell relative viability with rhIFN-γ at different concentrations.The expression of CD123 on K562 ceils was detected by flow cytometry.Results The relative inhibition of K562 cells proliferation was hampered when the cells were treated with rhIFN-γ for 72 h at the concentration of 5 x 10P ～ 108 U/L,respectively.However,rhIFN-γ at 2 x 105 U/L was benefit to K562 cells proliferation.After treatment with rhIFN-γ at 0,2 x 105 U/L and 107 U/L,the percentages of CD123 expression on K562 cells were (4.10 ± 1.46) ％,(7.2 ± 2.50) ％ as well as (21.6 ± 1.17) ％,respectively.Compared with the control group,107 U/L rhIFN-γ significantly increased the expression of CD123 on K562 cells (P＜0.05).Conclusion The effect of rhIFN-γ on the growth of K562 cells has two aspects (inhibition or proliferation),and it can increase the expression of CD 123.

Objective To study the effects of medicated serum with total saponins from Rhizoma Dioscreae Nipponicae (RDN) on VEGF mRNA expression and AP-1 activity in rat synovial cell strain RSC-364 induced by IL-17 and TNF-α. To investigate the mechanism about total saponin from RDN inhibition of angiogenesis. Methods Medicated serum of total saponins from RDN and tripterygium (positive control) were prepared. Rat synovial cells RSC-364 were divided into four groups: the blank control,IL-17+TNF-α model,tripterygium medicated serum,and total saponins medicated serum groups. After one hour of incubation,all groups except for the blank control were incubated with both IL-17(10 μg·L-1 ) and TNF-α(10 μg·L-1 ) for 24 hours. VEGF mRNA expression in RSC-364 was detected by PrimeScriptTM real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) detection kit,and the AP-1 DNA-binding activity was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results Compared with the control blank group,both of the VEGF mRNA expression and AP-1 activity in rat synovial cell strain RSC-364 induced by IL-17 and TNF-α increased remarkably (P<0. 05,P<0.01). The VEGF mRNA expression and AP-1 activity in tripterygium medicated serum group and total saponins medicated serum group were remarkably lower than those of the model control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two medicated serum groups. Conclusion Serum medicated with total saponins from RDN can remarkably decrease VEGF mRNA expression and AP-1 activity,indicating that the total saponins from RDN could influence VEGF secretion by inhibiting the AP-1 signal transduction pathway,VEGF is the key factor of angiogenesis,thereby to restrain angiogenesis.
