AIM:To investigate the effects of adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs)with overexpression or si-lencing of long noncoding RNA(lncRNA)SNHG8 on the viability,migration,angiogenesis,and the expression of vasoac-tive factors in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs).METHODS:Identification of ADSCs derived from morbidly obese patients(O-ADSCs)was conducted using flow cytometry and induction of lipogenesis and osteogenesis.The expression of lncRNA SNHG8 in healthy human ADSCs(H-ADSCs)and O-ADSCs was detected by RT-qPCR.Tran-swell method was used to establish the indirect co-culture system of ADSCs and HUVECs for 48 h,and the cells were di-vided into O-ADSCs+HUVECs group,H-ADSCs+HUVECs group,and HUVECs alone group.The mRNA and protein ex-pression levels of angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ),endothelin-1(ET-1)and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)in HUVECs were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The lncRNA SNHG8 overexpression and silencing lentiviruses were con-structed and used to infect O-ADSCs.The indirect co-cultured ADSCs and HUVECs were divided into O-ADSCs-OE-SNHG8+ HUVECs group,O-ADSCs-OE-NC+HUVECs group,O-ADSCs-sh-SNHG8+HUVECs group,and O-ADSCs-sh-NC+HUVECs group.After co-culture for 48 h,the viability,migration and tubule formation of HUVECs were detected by CCK-8,scratch and angiogenesis assays,respectively.The mRNA and protein expression levels of Ang Ⅱ,ET-1 and eNOS in HU-VECs were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot,respectively.The nitrate reductase method was used to detect the con-tent of NO in HUVECs.RESULTS:(1)The cultured cells were identified as ADSCs.(2)Compared with H-ADSCs,ln-cRNA SNHG8 expression was significantly up-regulated in O-ADSCs(P<0.01).(3)Compared with H-ADSCs+HUVECs group and HUVECs group,the mRNA and protein expression levels of Ang Ⅱ and ET-1 in HUVECs in O-ADSCs+HU-VECs group were up-regulated(P<0.01).(4)Overexpression of lncRNA SNHG8 in O-ADSCs enhanced the viability,mi-gration and tube formation ability of HUVECs,up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of Ang Ⅱ and ET-1,down-regulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of eNOS,and decreased the content of NO in HUVECs(P<0.05).However,silencing of lncRNA SNHG8 in O-ADSCs exerted opposite results(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:(1)The O-ADSCs can promote endothelial cell viability,migration and tubule formation through paracrine effects.(2)The O-ADSCs with overexpression of lncRNA SNHG8 promote the imbalance of diastolic and contractile factors secreted by endo-thelial cells,and induce the dysfunction of vascular endothelial cells.

【Objective】 To analyze the effect of extensively hydrolyzed formula(eHF) in the treatment of feeding intolerance in preterm infants and the effect on hospital infection, in order to provide reference for the clinical treatment of feeding intolerance in preterm infants. 【Methods】 A total of 208 cases of preterm infants with feeding intolerance diagnosed and treated in Shandong Heze Municipal Hospital from April 2017 to February 2020 were selected into the clinical trial for eligibility assessment, then were randomly assigned into study group(n=100) and control group(n=100) after screening and exclusion. Children in the control group were fed with standard preterm formula, while children in the study group were fed with eHF. Feeding tolerance indicators, including daily milk intake, time to meconium evacuation, time to full gastrointestinal nutrition, total gastric residual counts(GRV1) in the 7-d period after resumption of breastfeeding, ratio of all-day gastric residual counts/all-day estimated milk intake after resumption of breastfeeding(GRV2) were compared between the two groups, and growth indicators(body weight growth rate, head dimension growth rate), complication incidence [necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC), pathological jaundice, positive fecal occult blood or blood in stool] and incidence of hospital-acquired infections. 【Results】 The daily milk intake(t=5.037) of the study group was higher than that of the control group, and the time of foetal excretion(t=9.217), the time to reach full gastrointestinal nutrition(t=15.833), GRV1(t=6.737), GRV2(t=9.956) were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05). The rate of weight gain(t=2.454) and head dimension growth(t=5.469) in the study group was significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05). The incidence of the three complications of NEC, pathological jaundice and positive fecal occult blood or blood in stool(χ²=4.310) and the incidence of hospital infections(χ²=4.688) were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group(P<0.05). 【Conclusions】 Compared with the standard formula milk for preterm infants, eHF can significantly improve the feeding intolerance of preterm infants, promote growth and development, and reduce the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections. Therefore, eHF can be widely used in clinic for preterm infants with feeding intolerance.

Objective:To validate the feasibility of the gamma analysis method in the study of prescription dose conversion between logistic nanodosimetry model (LNDM) and microdosimetric kinetic model (MKM) basing on the Chinese self-developed model LNDM by applying clinical experiences of National Institute of Radiological Science (NIRS).Methods:Physical dose distributions derived from the MKM- and LNDM-based carbon ion treatment plans were compared via the method of gamma analysis under the open-source treatment planning platform matRad. In this way, the prescribed dose conversion factor between the MKM- and LNDM-based treatment plans was obtained. Using water phantoms, the influence of geometric shape, size, depth of target volume (TV), prescribed dose and field setting on the conversion factor was investigated comprehensively. Moreover, preliminary verification of the acquired conversion factor was conducted on the C-shape model and a case of liver cancer patient.Results:The conversion factor depended on the field setting rather than the TV shape. Under the condition of single field, the conversion factor was positively correlated with the size and depth of TV, and the prescribed dose. Moreover, the conversion factor was successfully verified using the C-shape model and the patient with liver cancer, where the gamma passing rates (2%/2 mm) of the physical dose distribution generated by the MKM and LNDM treatment plans were 92.79% and 91.19%, respectively.Conclusions:The conversion factors (f=D LNDM/D MKM) obtained in this study might provide guidance for the prescribed dose setting during the carbon ion treatment planning based on the LNDM. Besides, the gamma analysis method could be used for the study of the prescribed dose conversion between different models.

Post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD),as a mental disorder disease,can seriously damage the physical and mental health and social functioning of patients.Physical therapy is increasingly being used in research on the treatment of PTSD due to its ability to directly target specific brain regions and improve the core symptoms of PTSD.This review categorizes on physical therapy for PTSD into two categories:non-invasive physical therapy and invasive physical therapy.Non-invasive physical therapy methods included electroconvulsive therapy,transcranial direct current stimulation,transcranial magnetic stimulation,and the Flexyx neurotherapy system.Non-invasive physical therapy had the advantages of safety,convenience,and simple operation.However,their stimulation accuracy was limited.Invasive physical therapy methods included deep brain stimulation and stellate ganglion block.Invasive physical therapy had the advantages of precise stimulation,fewer adverse reactions.However,there were surgical risks,high operational difficulty,and high treatment costs.In addition,potential physical therapy methods included transcranial alternating current stimulation,magnetic seizure therapy,and vagus nerve stimulation,which were currently in the theoretical research stage.This study discussed the mechanism of action,therapeutic parameters,clinical efficacy,adverse effects and the latest forms of technology of the above physical therapy methods,so as to provide reference for the treatment of PTSD.

Sarcopenia is becoming one of the challenges that is associated with worse quality of life and death.Accurate evaluation of skeletal muscle quantity and quality is the most important for the screening and diagnosing sarcopenia.Compared with other imaging evaluation methods, ultrasound examination is a portable, no-ionizing radiation and inexpensive technique, and especially has a high repeatability.After a comprehensive overview of the imaging tests assessing skeletal muscle, this review summarized ultrasound examination requirements for assessing skeletal muscle, measurement parameters, and future perspectives.

Prosthetic loosening and periprosthetic inflammation, as serious complications after joint replacement surgery, often require the secondary surgery for repair, which is easy to adversely affect the physical/mental health and economic status of patients.Studies have shown that the functional phenotype expressed by macrophages by different stimuli, namely macrophage polarization state, prolonged M1 polarization can lead to the continuation of long-term inflammation, while timely and effective M2 macrophage phenotype will lead to enhanced osteogenesis and tissue remodeling cytokine secretion and subsequent osseointegration, which play a crucial role in the development and outcome of prosthetic loosening and periprosthetic inflammation.The local micro-environment of extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important factor in the activation, migration, proliferation and fusion of macrophages. Researchers have deeply understood it mainly through the crosstalk between surface properties of biomaterials and macrophages. As an effector cell, macro-phages can perform complex spatiotemporal cellular functional responses by sensing the physical and chemical environment (surface topography, wettability, chemical composition, biological proteins) represented by surface properties of biomaterials.This paper summarizes the recent findings on macrophage polarization and material surface properties.

Anti-thyroid drug (ATD), radioactive iodine (RAI) and thyroidectomy are treatment options for Graves disease (GD). Treatment strategies for Graves ophthalmopathy (GO) patients include thyroid function control, oral or intravenous corticosteroids, orbital radiotherapy or orbital decompression surgery. However, current treatments for GD and GO are also less ideal because they target the signs and symptoms rather than the pathogenic mechanisms. The development of treatment strategies that targeting the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) or insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) alone or in combination may yield effective and better tolerated treatments for GD and GO. This paper reviews the progress and limitations of the 2 methods.

We report a case of a newborn baby who suffered from hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn (HDFN) caused by anti-Di a. The baby presented with worsening jaundice started at three hours after birth and was transferred to Dongguan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital. The newborn's hemoglobin (Hb) was 82 and 76 g/L at five and nine hours after birth, and the total bilirubin (TBIL) was 243.2 and 309.8 μmol/L, respectively. Blood samples of the newborn and the parents were collected for HDFN immunohematology test twelve hours after birth. They showed that the newborn and the father's blood type was A and RhDCCee, while the mother was A and RhDCcee. Direct antiglobulin test (DAT) indicateda strong positive for the newborn and negative for the parents. The reaction of the reagent to red blood cells for antibody screening with the patient's plasma, red cells eluate, and the mother's plasma were all negative, but were positive with the father's red blood cells. The newborn was recovered after treating with phototherapy, intravenous immunoglobulins and urgent blood exchange (the exchanged blood was the same ABO and RhD blood type and cross-matched). The newborn's plasma and red cells eluate were collected before blood exchange, and the mother's plasma were used to assess the red blood cells reaction, and IgG anti-Di a was identified in each sample. Di a blood typing was positive for the newborn and the father, and negative for the mother. Therefore, the newborn was diagnosed as HDFN caused by anti-Di a.
