Objective To study the influence of laser diffraction ultrasound parameters on the determination of particle size and particle size distribution of budesonide suspension for inhalation,and explore the rationality of ultrasound parameter settings of the laser diffraction method.Methods The Mastersizer 3000 was set to measure the particle size and particle size distribution of budesonide suspension for inhalation from 6 companies at different ultrasonic times,and the FlowCam was used to test the samples simultaneously.Results The ultrasound parameters have a significant impact on the particle size and particle size distribution of budesonide suspension for inhalation in some companies,and the FlowCam test results show that particles in some samples exhibit aggregation,which can be dispersed by ultrasound and affect the results.Conclusion It is necessary to optimize the ultrasound parameters of laser diffraction to determine the particle size and particle size distribution of suspension for inhalation,and verify the rationality of the ultrasound parameter settings through microscopic techniques.

Objective To compare and analyze the application value of brain black blood technology three-dimensional BrainVIEW(3D-BrainVIEW)and conventional three-dimensional turbo field echo T1 weighted imaging(3D-TFE T1WI)in brain metastases of lung cancer.Methods A total of 60 patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer were selected.All patients underwent brain enhanced MRI using 3D-BrainVIEW and 3D-TFE T1WI.The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of the two groups were compared and analyzed,respectively.The diagnostic efficacy(including number,size,and location)of the two groups of images in detecting brain metastases was evaluated by two experienced radiologists via double-blind method.Results The diagnostic consistency between the two radiologists was excellent[intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)=0.998,P<0.001].There were significant differences in SNR,CNR,and the number and location of brain metastases between 3D-BrainVIEW sequence and 3D-TFE T1WI sequence(P<0.05),and 3D-BrainVIEW sequence was significantly superior to 3D-TFE T1WI sequence.In addition,the number of brain metastases detected by 3D-Brain VIEW sequence was significantly higher than that detected by 3D-TFE T1WI sequence in lesions with minimum diameter(Dmin)<5 mm(P<0.001).There was no difference in the number of lesions detected by the two sequences in lesions with Dmin>5 mm(P>0.05).Conclusion The SNR and CNR of 3D-Brain VIEW enhanced scan images are significantly higher than those of 3D-TFE T1WI,which has higher detection efficiency for lung cancer brain metastases,and can effectively reduce misdiagnosis caused by microvascular enhance-ment,which has high clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the effects of human glycolipid transfer protein(GLTP)on proliferation,migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer(PC)cells,and to elucidate their mechanisms.Methods:The difference in the expression levels of GLTP proteins between PC tissue and normal pancreas tissue was analyzed by University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer Data Analysis Platform(UALCAN)Database,as well as the difference in the expression levels of GLTP protein between PC tissue and normal pancreas tissue of the PC patients with different clinicopathological characteristics.The PANC-1 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into control group(transfected with pFLAG-CMV4 plasmid)and GLTP-overexpression(GLTP-OE)group(transfected with pFLAG-GLTP plasmid).The stably GLTP transfected cells were established using the antibiotic screening method.Knock-down experiments were performed using non-specific siRNA transfected PANC-1 cells as control group and si-GLTP transfected PANC-1 cells as si-GLTP group.Western blotting method was used to detect the expression of GLTP protein in the cells in various groups,cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)method was used to detect the proliferation activities of PANC-1 cells,clone formation assay was used to detect the number of clone formation,and Transwell chamber assay were used to detect the numbers of migration and invasion cells in various groups.Transcriptomics sequencing analyses were conducted to assess the possible mechanism of GLTP in the PANC-1 cells.Western blotting method was employed to detect the expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K),phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K),protein kinase B(Akt),and phosphorylated Akt(p-Akt)proteins in the PANC-1 cells in various groups;Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)was used to assess the expression levels of amphiregulin(AREG)and kinase insertion domain receptor(KDR)mRNA in the cells in various groups.The mice were randomly divided into control group(injected with pFLAG-GMV4 transfected PANC-1 cells)and experimental group(injected with pFLAG-GLTP stably transfected PANC-1 cells),and the subcutaneously transplanted tumor models were prepared;the volumes and weights of the transplanted tumors of the mice in two groups were measured.Results:UALCAN database analysis showed that the expression level of GLTP protein in PC tissue was lower than that in normal pancreas tissue(P＜0.01),and there were statistically significant differences in the GLTP protein expression between PC tissue and normal pancreas tissue of the PC patients with different cancer stages(P＜0.05),tumor grades(P＜0.05),ages(P＜0.001),and genders(P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the proliferation activity(P＜0.01)and the number of clone formation(P＜0.001)of the cells in GLTP-OE group were decreased,while the numbers of migration cells(P＜0.001)and invasion cells(P＜0.01)were decreased.In the knock-down experiment,compared with control group,the proliferation activity(P＜0.01)and the number of clone formation(P＜0.05)of the cells in GLTP-OE group were increased,while the numbers of migration cells(P＜0.001)and invasion cells(P＜0.001)were increased.Compared with control group,the tumor weight and volume of the mice in experimental group were decreased(P＜0.01),following the injection of tumor cells for a period of four weeks.In the over-expression experiment,compared with control group,the expression levels of p-PI3K(P＜0.01),p-Akt-S473(P＜0.01),and p-Akt-T308(P＜0.05)proteins in the cells in GLTP-OE group were decreased;the expression levels of AREG(P＜0.01)and KDR(P＜0.01)mRNA were decreased.In the knock-down experiment,compared with control group,the expression levels of p-PI3K(P＜0.01),p-Akt-S473(P＜0.01),and p-Akt-T308(P＜0.01)in the cells in si-GLPT group were increased,and the expression levels of AREG(P＜0.01)and KDR(P＜0.05)mRNA were increased.Conclusion:Low expression levels of GLTP in PC tissue are present.The over-expression of GLTP can inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of PANC-1 cells,as well as the growth of subcutaneously transplanted tumors in the nude mice;its possible mechanism may be related to decreasing the activity of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of Compound Mufurong Nasal Ointment in interfering with allergic rhinitis in young rats based on the Th1/Th2 cytokines and c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway.Methods:Totally 60 young SD male rats were divided into normal group, model group, experimental group, Western medicine group, and combination group according to random number table method, with 12 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, allergic rhinitis rat models were prepared by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin and nasal instillation of ovalbumin sensitization in all other groups of rats. After successful modeling, the normal group and the model group were given 0.9% sodium chloride injection 50 μl nasal drip, and the experimental group, the Western medicine group and the combination group were given compound Mufurong Nasal Ointment, fluticasone propionate nasal spray, compound Mufurong Nasal Ointment and fluticasone propionate nasal spray respectively. HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of nasal mucosal tissue; ELISA method was used to detect the levels of total IgE, interferon - γ (IFN - γ), IL-1 β, and IL-4 in the serum and nasal lavage fluid of rats in each group; Western blot was used to detect the expressions of JNK and p-JNK proteins in nasal tissues of rats in each group; Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of p-JNK and p-c-Jun proteins in nasal mucosal tissue.Results:Compared with model group, the levels of IgE, IL-1β and IL-4 in serum and nasal lavage solution of experimental group, western medicine group and combination group decreased ( P<0.05), IFN-γ level increased ( P<0.05); the expressions of JNK and p-JNK protein decreased ( P<0.05), and the expressions of p-JNK and p-c-Jun decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compound Mufurong Nasal Ointment may regulate Th1/Th2 cytokines through the JNK signaling pathway, inhibit Th2 over-expression, thereby reducing IgE, IL-1 β, IL-4 levels in serum and nasal lavage fluid, up-regulating IFN - γ levels, and intervening in the occurrence of allergic rhinitis.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of simplified geriatric assessment (sGA) in elderly Chinese patients diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) .Methods:It retrospectively analyzed the relationships of sGA with the clinical characteristics, outcome, and prognosis of 219 patients aged ≥60 years who were newly diagnosed with DLBCL at six hospitals in Jiangsu province between January 2018 and December 2022.Results:The median age of 219 patients was 68 years (60-87 years). According to the sGA system criteria, 101 (46.1%), 103 (47.0%), and 15 (6.8%) elderly patients with DLBCL were categorized as fit, unfit, and frail, respectively.
