Gamma glutamyltransferase 1 (GGT1) is involved in regulating processes such as redox, cell proliferation, tumor metastasis, and drug resistance, and is abnormally expressed in various tumors such as prostate cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. This article summarizes the expression and role of GGT1 in various diseases, providing new ideas for further exploration of treatment strategies for GGT1 related diseases.

Objective:To explore the correlations of brain network functional connectivity (FC) alterations with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathological biomarkers in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods:A total of 39 patients with cognitive impairment, admitted to Department of Neurology, Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University from January 2020 to December 2022 were recruited; 23 patients were with AD and 16 with non-AD. Clinical data were compared between the 2 groups. Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data were collected, and FC differences between brain networks and FC differences within brain networks were compared by independent component analysis. Correlations of FC differences between brain networks and FC differences within brain networks with concentrations of β-amyloid protein 1-42 (Aβ 1-42) and Tau protein in CSF were analyzed. Results:Compared with the non-AD group, AD group had significantly lower Aβ 1-42 in CSF ( P<0.05). Compared with those in the non-AD group, FC alterations between the left frontoparietal network (lFPN) and anterior default mode network (aDMN) and between the visual network (VN) and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), as well as FC alterations in lFPN, were significantly increased in AD group ( P<0.05). Compared with those in the non-AD group, FC alterations between lFPN and cerebellar network (CEN), and FC alterations in aDMN, sensorimotor network (SMN) and VN were significantly decreased in AD group ( P<0.05). In AD group, FC in SMN was positively correlated with total Tau and phosphorylated-Tau181 in CSF ( P<0.05); FC between VN and PCC was positively correlated with total Tau in CSF ( P<0.05). CSF Aβ 1-42 was positively correlated with FC alterations in aDMN and VN, but negatively correlated with FC in FPN ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In AD patients, characteristic changes in FC within and between multiple brain networks are noted, which are related to changes of Tau protein and Aβ 1-42 in CSF.

Objective:To compare the short-term efficacy between proximal femoral bionic nails (PFBN) and 3G Gamma nails in the fixation intertrochanteric femoral fractures in the elderly.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 78 elderly patients with intertrochanteric femoral fracture who had been admitted to Department of Trauma Surgery, The Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University from October 2021 to December 2022. There were 35 males and 43 females with an age of (76.0±7.9) years. By Evans classification: 6 cases of type Ⅰ, 21 cases of type Ⅱ, 24 cases of type Ⅲ, 23 cases of type Ⅳ, and 4 cases of type Ⅴ. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to their internal fixation methods: a PFBN group of 35 patients fixed by PFBN and a Gamma group of 43 cases fixed with 3D Gamma nails. The time from injury to operation, hospital stay, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, weight-bearing time, fracture healing time, and Harris hip score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and incidence of complications at 6 months after operation were compared between the 2 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (14.0±4.0) months. There were no significant differences between the PFBN and Gamma groups in operation time [(58.9±8.2) min versus (58.1±6.8) min], intraoperative blood loss [(138.0±24.9) mL versus(126.8±25.7) mL], hospital stay [(10.9±2.9) d versus (10.3±4.0) d],fracture healing time [(5.0±1.3) months versus (5.1±1.3) months], or good and excellent rate by the Harris hip score [82.9% (29/35) versus 76.7% (33/43)], VAS score [0(0, 1) points versus 1(0, 1) points], or incidence of complications at 6 months after operation [2.9% (1/35) versus 4.7% (2/43)] (all P>0.05). However, the complete weight-bearing time for the PFBN group was (5.3±1.2) weeks, significantly earlier than that for the Gamma group [(6.9±1.4) weeks] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the fixation of intertrochanteric femoral fractures in the elderly patients, both PFBN and 3D Gamma nails can achieve satisfactory short-term efficacy, but PFBN is more beneficial to the functional recovery of the hip joint because it leads to earlier complete weight-bearing time than 3D Gamma nails.

Objective:To investigate the effects of ceftriaxone(CTX) on nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4) pathway and ferroptosis in early brain injury in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).Methods:Forty-eight clean grade male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham group), SAH group, SAH+ CTX group and SAH+ CTX+ Nrf2 inhibitor group (SAH+ CTX+ ML385 group) according to the random number table with 12 rats in each group.Seven days before modeling, rats in SAH+ CTX+ ML385 group were injected intraperitoneally with ML385 (30 mg · kg -1) once a day for consecutive 7 days.And 5 days before modeling, rats in SAH+ CTX group and SAH+ CTX+ ML385 group were treated with CTX(200 mg · kg -1) by intraperitoneal injection once a day for five consecutive days.Rats in Sham group and SAH group were intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of 0.9% sodium chloride solution.After 24 hours of modeling, the neurological function score and brain tissue water content of rats in each group were measured.HE staining was used to observe the morphology of neurons in CA1 and CA3 regions of hippocampus.Prussian blue staining was used to observe the iron deposition in cerebral cortex.Spectrophotometer was used to determine the iron content, malonic dialdehyde(MDA) content, glutathione(GSH) content and GPX4 activity in cerebral cortex.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of Nrf2 and GPX4 proteins in cerebral cortex.SPSS 23.0 was used for statistical analysis.One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean of multiple groups of samples, and Dunnett- t test was used for further pairwise comparison between groups. Results:There was a statistically significant difference in the neurological function scores of rats in the four groups 24 hours after SAH ( F=48.40, P<0.001). The neurological function score of rats in the SAH group 24 hours after SAH was significantly lower than those in Sham group and SAH+ CTX group (both P<0.05). The brain water content of rats in the four groups 24 h after SAH was statistically significant ( F=49.61, P<0.001).

There was statistically significant differences in the number of neuronal necrosis in CA1 and CA3 regions of hippocampus in the four groups 24 hours after SAH ( F=17.44, 246.50, both P<0.001). The numbers of neuronal necrosis in CA1 and CA3 regions of hippocampus in SAH group were significantly higher than those in Sham group and SAH+ CTX group, and the numbers of neuronal necrosis in CA1 and CA3 regions of hippocampus in SAH+ CTX+ ML385 group were significantly higher than those in SAH+ CTX group (all P<0.05). Twenty-four hours after SAH, the amount of iron deposited in the cerebral cortex of rats in the four groups was statistically significant ( F=2 363.0, P<0.001). The iron deposition in the cerebral cortex of rats in the SAH group was significantly higher than those in Sham group and SAH+ CTX group (both P<0.05). There were significant differences in iron content, MDA content, GSH content and GPX4 activity in the cerebral cortex of the four groups 24 h after SAH( F=2 380.0, 1 322.0, 789.1, 815.5, all P<0.001). The content of iron and MDA in the cerebral cortex of rats in SAH group were significantly higher than those in Sham group, while the content of GSH and the activity of GPX4 were significantly lower than those in Sham group (all P<0.05). The content of iron and MDA in the cerebral cortex of rats in SAH+ CTX group were lower than those in SAH group, and the content of GSH and the activity of GPX4 were higher than those in SAH group (all P<0.05). At 24 h after SAH, the expression levels of Nrf2 and GPX4 protein in the cerebral cortex of the four groups were statistically significant ( F=888.7, 1 556.0, both P<0.001). The protein expression levels of Nrf2 (0.382±0.014) and GPX4 (0.329±0.019) in the cerebral cortex in SAH group were lower than those in Sham group ((0.746±0.009), (0.953±0.009)) (both P<0.05). The expression levels of Nrf2 (0.631±0.006) and GPX4 (0.833±0.008) protein in the cerebral cortex in the SAH+ CTX group were significantly higher than those in the SAH group (both P<0.05). The expression levels of Nrf2 (0.427±0.009) and GPX4 (0.525±0.011) protein in the cerebral cortex in SAH+ CTX+ ML385 group were significantly lower than those in SAH+ CTX group (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Ceftriaxone may inhibit ferroptosis during EBI in SAH rats by regulating Nrf2/GPX4 signal axis.

Objective:To evaluate the proper blood collection time and calculation formula by measuring the iohexol plasma clearance as a representative of glomerular filtration rate at the same time of routine enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination.Methods:The prospective study method was applied, and 9 subjects with normal renal function, who admitted in Civil Aviation General Hospital from September 2018 to June 2019, were included. A single bolus of a standard dose (5 ml) (iodine concentration: 350 mgI/ml) was injected. The concentration of iohexol was measured from heparin plasma at fasting state of the subject and at nine different times after the injection, respectively. More than 24 hours after the injection of the standard dose, an enhanced CT-level dose (50 ml) of iohexol was injected to the subject and the concentration of iohexol was measured at similar time points as the standard dose. Using a multi-point method of a standard dose as the standard, the clearance rate was calculated by three kinds of formulas including Groth and Aasted formula, Jacobsson formula and Fleming formula with the single-point method to assess iohexol plasma clearance at 0.5 to 8.0 hours post injection of enhanced CT-level dose. The correlation consistency and accuracy of the multi-point method and the single-point method, as well as the dual-point method and the single-point method were compared, and the proper blood collection time and calculation formula of the single-point method at regular enhanced CT-level dose were evaluated. The correlation between the multi-point method and the single-point method, as well as the dual-point method and the single-point method were assessed using Pearson correlation coefficient; the consistency between the multi-point method and the single-point method, as well as the dual-point method and the single-point method were assessed by bias using mean±standard deviation ( SD) and 95% confidence interval ( CI) of mean difference and so on. We assessed the concordance of GFR using GFR±5% ( P5),±10% ( P10) and 1±30% ( P30) intervals. Results:Compared with the multi-point method, the mean deviation of iohexol plasma clearance obtained by the three single-point methods increased gradually from 5 hours after the injection of iohexol ( P<0.05). Compared with the multi-point method, only 3 h results, which was calculated by the Groth and Aasted formula, reached a P value greater than 0.05, a correlation coefficient of 0.938, a mean deviation of (-5.2±8.8) ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, and the concordances were 100% corresponding to P30,77.8% corresponding to P10, and 66.7% corresponding to P5; the 2, 3 and 4 hours results, which was calculated by the Jacobsson formula, reached P values greater than 0.05, when the blood collection time was 3 hours, the correlation coefficient was 0.938, and the mean deviation was the smallest, which was (1.5±6.2) ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, and the concordances were 100% corresponding to P30, 88.9% corresponding to P10, and 66.7% corresponding to P5; the 2 and 3 hours results, which was calculated by the Fleming formula, reached P values greater than 0.05, when the blood collection time was 2 h, the correlation coefficient was 0.956, and the mean deviation was the smallest, which was (-4.5±8.8) ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, and the concordances were 100% corresponding to P30, 77.8% corresponding to P10, and 55.6% corresponding to P5,Compared with the dual-point method, when Groth or Aasted formula was used, the mean deviation was the smallest at 3 hours, which was (-5.3±5.7) ml·min -1·1.73 m -2; when Jacobsson formula was used, the mean deviation was the smallest at 2 hours, which was (1.6±1.6) ml·min -1·1.73 m -2; when Fleming formula was used, and the mean deviation was the smallest at 2 hours, which was (-4.6±4.0) ml·min -1·1.73 m -2. Conclusion:At a regular enhanced CT-level dose, one blood collection can accurately measure the glomerular filtration rate, the proper time for blood collection can be 3 hours after iohexol injection, and the appropriate calculation formula can be Jacobsson formula.

There was no significant difference in the postoperative complications between the two groups ( χ2=0.706, P>0.05). Patients with complications in the two groups were improved after symptomatic and supportive treatment. There was no perioperative death in the postoperative 30 days of the two groups. (3) Follow-up: 183 patients received follow-up. Patients of the CSPO group and ISR group were followed up for (41±27)months and (37±19)months, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=-1.104, P>0.05). There were 2 cases with local recurrence and 9 cases with distal metastasis of the CSPO group, respectively, versus 3 cases and 4 cases of the ISR group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=1.277, 0.170, P>0.05). The 3-year disease-free survival rate and 3-year total survival rate were 84.0% and 99.0% for the CSPO group, versus 88.6% and 92.8% for the ISR group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.218, 0.002, P>0.05). The stomal closure rate was 92.16%(94/102) and 96.97%(64/66) for 102 patients of CSPO group and 66 patients of ISR group up to postoperative 12 months,respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=1.658, P>0.05). Of the 8 cases without stomal closure in the CSPO group, 2 cases refused due to advanced age, 4 cases subjectively refused, and 2 cases were irreducible due to scar caused by radiotherapy. Two cases in the ISR group had no stomal closure including 1 case of postoperative liver metastasis and 1 case of subjective refusal. There were 92 and 61 patients followed up to 12 months after stomal closure, of which 75 cases and 38 cases completed questionnaires of satisfaction with the anal function. The satisfaction score with the anal function was 6.8±2.8 and 5.4±3.0 for CSPO group and ISR group, respectively, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( t=-2.542, P<0.05). Fifty-four cases in the CSPO group and 21 cases in the ISR group had satisfaction score with the anal function >5, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=3.165, P>0.05). (4) Influencing factors for prognosis of patients with low rectal cancer: results of COX stepwise regression analysis showed that gender and pT staging were independent influencing factors for disease-free survival rate of patients with low rectal cancer ( hazard ratio=2.883, 1.963, 95% confidence interval as 1.090 to 7.622, 1.129 to 3.413, P<0.05). Gender and pT staging were independent influencing factors for total survival rate of patients with low rectal cancer ( hazard ratio=10.963,3.187, 95% confidence interval as 1.292 to 93.063, 1.240 to 8.188, P<0.05). (5) Influencing factors for satisfaction with the anal function of patients with low rectal cancer: results of univariate analysis showed that surgical method and tumor differentiation degree were related factors for satisfaction with the anal function of patients with low rectal cancer (partial regression coefficient=1.464, -1.580, 95% confidence interval as 0.323 to 2.605, -2.950 to -0.209, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that surgical method, tumor differentiation degree and preoperative radiotherapy were independent influencing factors for satisfaction with the anal function of patients with low rectal cancer (partial regression coefficient=1.637, -1.456, -1.668, 95% confidence interval as 0.485 to 2.788, -2.796 to -0.116, -2.888 to -0.447, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with ISR, CSPO can safely preserve the anus in the treatment of low rectal cancer, without increasing the incidence of postoperative complications, which can also guarantee the oncological safety and improve the postoperative anal function.

The status of health monitoring is very different from urban to rural areas.

Objective:To establish a method for iohexolquantification based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the concentration of blood iohexolafterlow dose and contrast dose injection.Methods:Weperformed the method establishment and evaluation in this study. A HPLC-UV system (high performance liquid chromatography plus ultraviolet detector) was used to establish the method. The linearity, imprecision, recovery rate, limit of detection, lower limit of measuring interval and carryover of the method were evaluated. The stability of iohexol under different storage conditions, the differences of iohexolbetween serum and plasma concentrations, and the drug′s interference with the method were evaluated preliminarily. The single sample t test was used for the stability test of iohexolin samples, and the Wilcoxon symbol rank sum test was used for the comparison of iohexol concentrations between serum and plasma.Results:The linearity of iohexol ranging from 5 to 250 μg/ml ( R2=0.999 9) and from 250 to 4 000 μg/ml ( R2=0.999 8); when the concentration of iohexol was 20-3 000 μg/ml, the intra-and inter-assay coefficient of variation were 1.63% to 3.31% and 2.10% to 4.09%, respectively. The recovery rate was 94.17% to 106.13%; the limit of detection was 1 μg/ml and the lower limit of measuring interval was 5 μg/ml; it shows no carryover at the concentration of iohexol 4 000 μg/ml; after 48 hours at room temperature storage, the relative deviation of the concentration was -5.55% to +5.58%, after repeated freeze-thaw cycles 6 times at -80 ℃, the relative deviation of the concentration was -1.28% to+6.68%; there was no statistic difference between the measurement results between serum and plasma; valsartan and other drugs did not interfere with this methodsignificantly. Conclusion:Awide-range HPLC method for iohexolquantification has been established, which can stably and accurately detect the blood concentration of iohexol at low and contrast doses.

Objective:This study aims to analyze the prognosis of patients who underwent a simultaneous operations for colorectal cancer and liver metastases, and to establish a prognostic scoring system for these patients.Methods:From January 2010 to March 2019, the clinicopathological data of patients with colorectal cancer and liver metastases simultaneously operated at Shanghai Changhai Hospital were collected. The clinicopathological prognostic factors on tumor recurrence and survival outcomes on follow-up were analyzed. Single and multiple factors Cox regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors which affected the prognosis of patients. Using the risk factors of poor prognosis on Cox analysis, 1 point was given to each risk factor. Patients were then divided into different groups according to the different total scores. The median overall survival and disease-free survival of each group were analyzed.Results:Of 234 patients included in this study, there were 126 males and 108 females. The average age was (57.4±10.8) years. The median survival was 44.85 months. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of the whole group were 87.3%, 55.2%, and 22.9%, respectively. Primary tumor in right colon, preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen ≥200 ng/ml, multiple liver metastases, and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma/mucinous adenocarcinoma were independent risk factors of poor prognosis. After 1 point was given to each of the above 4 items, patients were then divided into the low-risk (0-1) and high-risk (2-4) groups. The median survivals of patients in the low-risk group ( n=174) and high-risk group ( n=60) were 53 months and 29 months, respectively. The corresponding median disease-free survivals were 21.34 months and 8.48 months, respectively. The differences between the 2 groups were significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The results of this study preliminary established a predictive scoring system for patients with simultaneous colorectal cancer and liver which can play a role in selecting treatment options for these patients.
