【Objective】 To investigate the effect of isoliquiritigenin on inflammatory response of vascular endothelial cells and whether the regulatory effect of isoliquiritigenin on inflammation is mediated by histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). 【Methods】 Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vitro and treated with LPS, different concentrations of isoliquiritigenin and HDAC3 specific inhibitor, respectively. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of inflammatory cytokines and HDAC3. Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into vehicle group and isoliquiritigenin treatment group. The vascular inflammation model of C57BL/6J mice was established by ligation of the left carotid arteries. The mRNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines and HDAC3 in the carotid arteries of mice were detected by Real-time PCR. A molecular docking study was performed to investigate the interaction between isoliquiritigenin and HDAC3. 【Results】 Compared with the vehicle group, isoliquiritigenin reduced the mRNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines NLRP3, IL-1β, IL-18, MCP-1 and ICAM-1 and decreased the expression of HDAC3 mRNA and protein in HUVECs stimulated with LPS. In addition, isoliquiritigenin also decreased the mRNA expressions of NLRP3, IL-1β and HDAC3 in carotid arteries of ligated C57BL/6J mice. The docking of isoliquiritigenin in the active site of HDAC3 showed that isoliquiritigenin might act through HDAC3. Furthermore, HDAC3 specific inhibitor RGFP966 further promoted the inhibitory effect of isoliquiritigenin on the expression of inflammatory cytokines in vascular endothelial cells. 【Conclusion】 These results suggest that isoliquiritigenin suppresses the inflammatory response of vascular endothelial cells via HDAC3.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for complications of the retromandibular approach in patients with parotid gland posterior and lower pole tumors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 140 patients with parotid posterior lower pole tumors admitted to the Xingtai Third Hospital from October 2019 to October 2021. They were divided into two groups based on whether complications occurred: the occurrence group and the non occurrence group. General data of the two groups of patients were collected, including age, gender, course of disease, previous surgical history, number of tumors, tumor length, resection range, facial nerve dissociation, tumor site resection frequency, and fascia preservation; Single factor and logistic multivariate analysis were conducted to determine the risk factors for complications of the posterior retromandibular approach in patients with parotid gland posterior and lower pole tumors.Results:A total of 140 patients with parotid gland posterior lower pole tumors underwent retromandibular approach treatment, with complications occurring in 38 cases (27.14%), including 7 cases of temporary facial paralysis, 10 cases of facial depression, 11 cases of Frey syndrome, 2 cases of fistula, and 8 cases of sensory abnormalities of the greater auricular nerve. Through logistic multivariate analysis, it was found that the number of tumors ≥ 2 ( OR=2.856), the resection range (total resection) ( OR=2.477), the number of surgeries ≥3 ( OR=5.637), facial nerve dissociation ( OR=3.526), and lack of fascia preservation ( OR=2.551) were all risk factors for postoperative complications in patients with parotid posterior pole tumors (all P<0.05). Conclusions:In clinical practice, relevant prevention and treatment measures should be formulated for these high-risk factors to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes (ICG-R15) and modified Scheuer score in liver tissues of patients with hepatitis B e antigen-positive/negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and further explore the indocyanine green clearance test (ICGCT) applied value in judging the progress of CHB-related liver disease.Methods:407 HBeAg (+) / HBeAg (-) CHB inpatients with normal or slightly elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) [< 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)] and modified Scheuer score were collected, and divided into mild liver disease group (M group, 131 cases, modified Scheuer score < G2S2) and progressive liver disease group (A group, 276 cases, modified Scheuer score≥G2 and / or S2). Furthermore, the groups were sub-divided into HBeAg (+) - M group, HBeAg (-) - M group, HBeAg (+) - A group and HBeAg (-) - A group. The correlation between ICG-R15 and modified Scheuer score was analyzed retrospectively. The data were analyzed by SPSS 24.0 software.Results:Basic clinical characteristics: Among the 407 CHB cases with normal or mildly elevated serum ALT, 171 were HBeAg(+) CHB and 236 were HBeAg(-) CHB. The baseline mean serum HBV DNA was higher in HBeAg(+) CHB patients [(6.06 ± 1.95) log10IU/ml] than HBeAg(-) CHB patients [(3.60±1.37)log10IU/ml ( P = 0.000)]. Included patients ICG-R15 detection characteristics: (1) The baseline mean value of ICG-R15 was not statistically significant between the two groups of HBeAg(+) CHB and HBeAg(-) CHB, and was basically within the normal range (< 10%); (2) Comparison of ICG-R15 baseline mean value among the subgroups showed that the patients in the HBeAg(+)-A group/HBeAg(-)-A group were higher than the HBeAg(+)-M group/HBeAg(-)-M group patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.013/ P = 0.000). Included patients’ correlation analysis between ICG-R15 and modified Scheuer score: (1) ICG-R15 and modified Scheuer score had shown weak positive correlation with inflammatory activity grade (g) in HBeAg (+) / HBeAg (-) CHB ( r = 0.237, P = 0.002); r = 0.244, P = 0.000); (2) There was a weak positive correlation between ICG-R15 and fibrosis stage (s) in HBeAg (+) / HBeAg (-) CHB ( r = 0. 254, P = 0; r = 0.225, P = 0.001). Included patients ICG-R15 predictive value for the severity of liver histological progression: when the cut-off value of ICG-R15 was 5.1%, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve from M group to A group was 0.601 ( P = 0.001) for predicting HBeAg (+) / HBeAg (-) CHB patients. Conclusion:ICG-R15 is positively correlated with the modified Scheuer score of liver tissue in HBeAg (+)/HBeAg (-) CHB patients with normal or slightly elevated ALT. In addition, when the cut-off value of ICG-R15 was 10%, it could not accurately reflect the effective hepatocyte reserve function of HBeAg (+) / HBeAg (-) CHB patients with normal or slightly elevated ALT. Importantly, when the cut-off value of ICG-R15 is 4.0% ~ 5.0%, it may have predictive value for liver disease progression to modified Scheuer score ≥ G2 and / or ≥S2 in HBeAg (+) / HBeAg (-) CHB patients with normal or slightly elevated ALT.

Transport monitoring is an important link in the transport process of radioactive materials, involving the whole process, that is, before departure, during transportation and after arrival. To do well in transport monitoring, radiation monitoring organizations need to actively participate in the work, and also need to do a good job in the supervision of radioactive materials transport monitoring. Beijing is one of the radioactive materials distribution centers in China, the monitoring workload is large, the number of monitoring reports is large, the number of packages by air transportation is relatively large, and the transportation and monitoring for medical use is dominant. Through the introduction of radioactive materials transportation monitoring work, and analysis of 2006—2020 radioactive materials transportation monitoring situation, this paper discusses the problems that need to be paid attention to in the monitoring work and the ways to deal with them, so as to provide ideas for radiation monitoring organizations to carry out monitoring work and manage the transport of radioactive materials well.

Objective To explore the relationship between hemoglobin (Hb) level during the first trimester of pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A total of 1 276 participants, who underwent scheduled prenatal examination and normal singleton delivery at the Fifth People′s Hospital of Shanghai and Hospital of Intergrated Chinese and Western Medicine in Minhang District, from January 2016 to May 2018 were included. There were 99 cases of GDM (GDM group) and 1 177 cases of normal (control group) pregnant women.Based on the serum Hb level during the first trimester of pregnancy, participants were divided into three groups, 236 cases of low Hb level group (Hb<110 g/L), 868 cases of normal Hb level group (110 g/L≤Hb<130 g/L), and 172 cases of high Hb level group (Hb≥130 g/L). Maternal clinical data were collected, including Hb level during the first trimester of pregnancy, three-point blood glucose (BG) of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and fasting insulin during the second trimester of pregnancy. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and homeostasis model assessment of pancreatic β cell function index (HOMA-β) were used to evaluate insulin resistance and pancreatic β cell function. Results (1) Hb level during the first trimester of pregnancy in GDM group was significantly higher than that in control group [(123±10),(119±11) g/L, P<0.05]. There were no significant difference in gravidity, parity, index of liver and renal function (all P>0.05). (2) Pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), 1-hour BG and 2-hour BG of OGTT were significantly increased in the high Hb level group during the first trimester of pregnancy, which were (23±4) kg/m2, (7.3±2.0) mmol/L, and (6.5±1.4) mmol/L (P<0.05), respectively. The pre-pregnancy BMI, 1-hour BG and 2-hour BG of the normal or low Hb level group were (22±3) kg/m2, (6.7±1.6) mmol/L, (6.1± 1.2) mmol/L; (22±3) kg/m2, (6.5±1.5) mmol/L, (5.9±1.1) mmol/L, respectively. There were no statistically significant difference in levels of fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and HOMA-β within 3 groups (all P>0.05). (3) In the high Hb level group, prevalence of pregnancy overweight or obesity and GDM were the highest, which were 37.2%(64/172) and 15.1%(26/172), respectively; the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (4) The serum Hb level in the first trimester was positively related with pre-pregnancy BMI (r=0.130, P<0.05), 1-hour BG (r=0.129, P<0.05), 2-hour BG (r=0.134, P<0.05), fasting insulin (r=0.096, P<0.05), and HOMA-IR (r=0.101, P<0.05).Logistic regression indicated that Hb≥130 g/L during the first trimester of pregnancy was an independent risk factor for GDM ( OR=2.799, 95% CI :1.186-6.604; P<0.05). Conclusion The high level of Hb (Hb≥130 g/L) during the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with GDM.
