Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ozone injection therapy for lumbar disc hemiation(LDH).Methods A computerized retrieval of academic papers concerning the randomized controlled trial(RCT)on ozone injection therapy for LDH from the databases of Embase,PubMed,Cochrane library and Web of science was conducted.The retrieval time period was from the establishment of the database to February 2023.The literature retrieval,screening,and data extraction were independently performed by two researchers.Cochrane bias risk assessment tool was used to assess the quality of the included literature.Stata 17.0 software was used to make meta-analysis.Results A total of 9 RCTs including 702 patients were finally included in this study.The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with radiofrequency thermocoagulation,percutaneous rotation and other treatments for LDH,the combination use of ozone injection could signifiicantly improve the effective rate based on Macnab efficacy evaluation criteria(RR=1.097,95％CI:1.038～1.159,P=0.001)and the excellent rate(RR=1.185～95％CI:1.074～1.309,P=0.001),and decrease the visual analog scale(VAS)pain score(WMD=-0.810～95％CI:-1.205～-0.414,P=0.000),and the differences in the above indexes were statistically significant.Conclusion Compared with the simple use of radiofrequency thermocoagulation,percutaneous rotation,and other treatment for LDH,the combination use of ozone injection therapy can significantly improve the effective rate and excellent rate based on Macnab efficacy evaluation criteria,decrease VAS score,with a high clinical safety.Limited by the quantity and quality of the original studies included in this study,the above conclusions need to be further verified by multi-center,large-sample and high-quality studies.

The latest epidemiological data suggests that the situation of adult diabetes in China is severe, and metabolic diseases have become significant chronic illnesses that have a serious impact on public health and social development. After more than six years of practice, the National Metabolic Management Center(MMC) has developed distinctive approaches to manage metabolic patients and has achieved a series of positive outcomes, continuously advancing the standardized diagnosis and treatment model. In order to further improve the efficiency, based on the first edition, the second edition guideline was composed by incorporating experience of the past six years in conjunction with the latest international and domestic guidelines.

To address the increasing need for detecting and validating protein biomarkers in clinical specimens, mass spectrometry (MS)-based targeted proteomic techniques, including the selected reaction monitoring (SRM), parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), and massively parallel data-independent acquisition (DIA), have been developed. For optimal performance, they require the fragment ion spectra of targeted peptides as prior knowledge. In this report, we describe a MS pipe-line and spectral resource to support targeted proteomics studies for human tissue samples. To build the spectral resource, we integrated common open-source MS computational tools to assemble a freely accessible computational workflow based on Docker. We then applied the workflow to gen-erate DPHL, a comprehensive DIA pan-human library, from 1096 data-dependent acquisition (DDA) MS raw files for 16 types of cancer samples. This extensive spectral resource was then applied to a proteomic study of 17 prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Thereafter, PRM validation was applied to a larger study of 57 PCa patients and the differential expression of three proteins in prostate tumor was validated. As a second application, the DPHL spectral resource was applied to a study consisting of plasma samples from 19 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients and 18 healthy control subjects. Differentially expressed proteins between DLBCL patients and healthy control subjects were detected by DIA-MS and confirmed by PRM. These data demonstrate that the DPHL supports DIA and PRM MS pipelines for robust protein biomarker discovery. DPHL is freely accessible at https://www.iprox.org/page/project.html?id=IPX0001400000.

Objective: To investigate the value of fibrinogen to albumin ratio (FAR) at admission on predicting spontaneous recanalization of infarct-related artery (IRA) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: Clinical data from 255 acute STEMI patients ((61.1±11.2) years old, 189 males) who underwent emergency coronary angiography within 12 hours in our hospital from December 2015 to April 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The acute STEMI patients were divided into non-spontaneous recanalization group (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 0-1, 203 cases) and spontaneous recanalization group (TIMI flow grade 2-3, 52 cases). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate related factors of IRA spontaneous recanalization. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of FAR in predicting spontaneous coronary recanalization. Results: There was no significant difference in age,gender, hypertension, diabetes, smoking,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,heart rate, duration of chest pain, type of infarction, infarct-related artery, door-to-balloon time, and drug used before admission between non-spontaneous recanalization group and spontaneous recanalization group (all P>0.05). The FAR and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were significantly lower in the spontaneous recanalization group than in the non-spontaneous recanalization group (8.20±1.85 vs. 11.02±2.75, P<0.001; (6.87±3.36) g/L vs. (8.51±3.72) g/L, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that FAR (OR=0.492, 95%CI 0.354-0.686, P<0.001), serum uric acid (OR=0.994, 95%CI 0.989-0.999, P=0.018) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (OR=0.774, 95%CI 0.614-0.975, P=0.030) were independent negative correlation with spontaneous recanalization of infarct-related artery in patients with acute STEMI. The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of FAR predicting spontaneous recanalization of infarct-related artery in patients with acute STEMI was 0.807 (95%CI 0.630-0.758, P<0.001), and the diagnostic threshold was 9.26, the sensitivity was 76.9%, the specificity was 75.9%. Conclusion The level of admission FAR has certain predictive value for spontaneous recanalization of infarct-related arteries in patients with acute STEMI.

Objective: To observe the effects of miR-204 on the proliferation and invasion of retinoblastoma (RB) cells and to explore the potential regulatory mechanism. Methods: The expression level of miR-204 in RB cell lines (Y79, SO-RB50, and HXO-Rb44) as well as in normal human retinal pigment epithelial cell line hTERT RPE-1 was detected using qRT-PCR. The Y79 cells were divided into two groups (negative control group and miR-204 group) by respectively transfecting Y79 cells with NC-mimics and miR-204 mimics using liposome transfection method. The effects of miR-204 on Y79 cell proliferation was detected with CCK-8 assay; while the effect of miR-204 on migration and invasion of Y79cellsweredeterminedbycellscratchassayandTranswellassay,respectively.Besides, thepotentialtargetgeneofmiR-204waspredictedbybioinformatics;and the influence of miR-204 on the expression of high mobility group AT-hook 2 gene (HMGA2) at both mRNA and protein levels was detected using qRT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results: miR-204 expression in RB cell lines Y79, SO-RB50 and HXO-Rb44 was remarkably lower than that in normal human retinal pigment epithelial cell line hTERT RPE-1 (P<0.01). miR-204 expression in Y79 cells was markedly up-regulated after transfection with miR-204 mimics (P<0.01) along with significantly reduced cell proliferation, migration and invasion capacities (all P<0.01), and mRNA and protein expressions of HMGA2 were also outstandingly reduced (P<0.01). Conclusion: miR-204 is lowly expressed in RB cell lines; in addition, miR-204 over-expression can suppress RB cell proliferation, migration and invasion, the mechanism of which might be related to down-regulation of the expression of HMGA2.

Background:Hydrotalcite has been used in the treatment of gastric ulcer,but its mechanism is not clear. Aims:To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of hydrotalcite on experimental gastric ulcer in rats. Methods:Experimental acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer model was established in rats. Model rats were randomly assigned into control group,low and high dose hydrotalcite groups,and 0. 9% NaCl solution,880 mg·kg - 1 ·d - 1 ,1 230 mg·kg - 1 ·d - 1 hydrotalcite were intragastrically administrated,respectively. After 14 days,macroscopic examination was performed;and HE staining, CD31 staining and VG staining were used to evaluate the histological maturity,AB-PAS staining,level of hexosamine, immunohistochemical staining,serum levels of epidermal growth factor( EGF),prostaglandin E2( PGE2 )were used to evaluate the functional maturity. Results:Compared with control group,ulcer index(UI)was significantly decreased in high dose hydrotalcite group(P < 0. 05). Thickness of restored mucosa was significantly increased(P < 0. 05),number of cystically dilated gland was significantly decreased(P < 0. 01),microvessel density(MVD),collagen fiber,secretion of mucus,level of hexosamine,expressions of EGF,EGR receptor(EGFR)and PGE2 ,serum levels of EGF and PGE2 were significantly increased in low and high hydrotalcite groups( P < 0. 05,P < 0. 01). Conclusions:Hydrotalcite could obviously improve the histological and functional maturity of regenerative mucosa,as well as the quality of ulcer healing. The mechanism might be related to the neutralization of gastric acid,enhancement of mucus-HCO3 - barrier and up-regulation of expressions of EGF and PGE2 .

Background Myopia is one of the main blinding diseases worldwide.At present,a lot of studies on ocular structure focus on the changes of corneal curvature(CC),central corneal thickness (CCT),anterior chamber depth (ACD),ocular axial length (AL) and choroid and retina,but the research of anterior chamber angle section structure form and ciliary body shape is lack.Objective This study was to measure and analyze the changes of the anterior chamber angle and related tissue structure in myopic eyes.Methods One hundred and forty-nine eyes of 149 subjects were included from May 2008 to May 2010 in Eighth Hospital of Qingdao City with the ages of 18-40years old under the informed consent.The subjects were assigned to the emmetropia group (30 eyes) ([0.02±0.18] D),low myopia group(46 eyes) ([-1.64±0.69] D),moderate myopia group (35 eyes) ([-4.56±0.66] D) and high myopia group (38 eyes) ([-7.04 ± 1.02] D).Conventional indexes including intraocular pressure (IOP),CCT,CC,AL and ACD were measured,and the indexes including chamber angel open distance (AOD),iris thickness (IT1,IT2,IT3),the position of ciliary body such as A-angel,B-angel,trabecular ciliary process distance (TCPD),irisciliary process distance (ICPD) and ciliary body thickness (CBT1,CBT2,CBT3) were measured by ultrasound biomicroscope(UBM).Results The IOP,CC and CCT values showed slight change in different groups without remarkable difference among them (all at P＞0.05).As the increase of myopic degree,AL was extended and ACD was deepened,showing significant differences among the groups (both at P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in IT1,IT2 and IT3 among the four groups (all at P＞0.05).However,the measuring values of angle opening degree (TIA and AOD500),ciliary position (A-angle,B-angle,TCPD,ICPD) and CBT (CBT1,CBT2,CBT3) elevated with the increase of myopic degree (all at P＜0.05).Positive correlations were found between AOD500 and ACD,A-angle,CBT1,CBT2,AL,negative correlations was found between AOD500 and myopic degree (r =0.573,0.513,0.325,0.398,0.542,-0.435,all at P＜0.01);Positive correlations were found between TIA and ACD,A-angle,CBT1,CBT2,AL,negative correlations was found between AOD500 and myopic degree (r =0.573,0.464,0.276,0.410,0.539,-0.435,all at P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Within certain limits,as the increase of myopic degree,ACD deepens,the anterior chamber angle widens,ciliary process thickens and ciliary body backward shifts.
