ObjectiveTo investigate vitamin D level in children with cholestatic liver disease, and to provide a theoretical basis for vitamin D supplementation therapy in children with this disease. MethodsA total of 116 children with cholestatic liver disease who attended Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing Children’s Hospital, Capital Medical University, for the first time from January 2022 to January 2024 were enrolled and divided into groups for comparison based on sex, age, vitamin D supplementation dose, course of the disease, and etiology. The data on the serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) and related biochemical parameters were collected to assess the correlation between vitamin D level and biochemical parameters. The chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups, and the Spearman rank correlation test was used for correlation analysis. ResultsAmong the 116 children, 76 (65.5%) had vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. The children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 65.7% (46/70) among boys and 65.2% (30/46) among girls, with no significant difference between boys and girls (χ2=0.003, P=0.956). The children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 83.3% (25/30) among the children who had never received vitamin D supplementation, 58.7% (27/46) among the children with a daily supplementation dose of 500 IU, 64.3% (18/28) among the children with a daily supplementation dose of 700 IU, and 50.0% (6/12) among the children with a daily supplementation dose of>700 IU, and there was no significant difference between these groups (χ2=6.460, P=0.091). Comparison between the groups with different etiologies showed that the children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 57.7% (15/26) in the infectious disease group, 66.7% (10/15) in the inherited metabolic disease group, 66.7% (6/9) in the drug-induced liver injury group, 100.0% (8/8) in the group with abnormal structure of the biliary system, and 63.8% (37/58) in the group with unknown etiology, and there was no significant difference between these groups (χ2=5.304, P=0.252). Comparison between the groups with different courses of the disease showed that the children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 78.4% (29/37) in the<1 month group, 54.3% (25/46) in the 1 — 3 months group, 53.3% (8/15) in the 3 — 6 months group, and 77.8% (14/18) in the>6 months group, with no significant difference between these groups (χ2=7.432, P=0.059). Comparison between different age groups showed that compared with the infant group, the children group had a significantly higher proportion of children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency (χ2=9.504, P=0.018). The correlation analysis showed that serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase had no significant correlation with 25-OH-D (P>0.05); serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (r=-0.286, P=0.002), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) (r=-0.248, P=0.007), total bilirubin (TBil) (r=-0.353, P<0.001), direct bilirubin (DBil) (r=-0.299, P=0.001), and total bile acid (r=-0.236, P=0.011) were negatively correlated with 25-OH-D, while serum calcium (r=0.263, P=0.004) and phosphorus (r=0.385, P<0.001) were positively correlated with 25-OH-D. ConclusionMost children with cholestatic liver disease have vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, and the increase in serum ALP, GGT, TBil, DBil or total bile acid and the reduction in calcium or phosphorus may suggest vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and mechanism of Zexie tang (ZXT) on reducing lipid accumulation through network pharmacology, and compare the difference of traditional decoction versus formula granules. METHODS The active components and targets of ZXT were identified using TCMSP and SwissTargetPrediction databases. GeneCards, OMIM, DisGeNET and TTD databases were used to analyze the related targets of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); protein-protein interaction network model was constructed by String database;“ ZXT-NAFLD target-pathway” network diagram was constructed by using CytoScape software; target enrichment analysis was performed by using Metascape platform. Fat accumulation model of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells was established to observe the effects of traditional decoction and formula granules of ZXT on lipid accumulation of cells. RESULTS Alisol B, alisol C, 1-monolinolein and alisol B monoacetate were the key active components of ZXT in the treatment of NAFLD. The core targets included MDM2, MAPK1, PIK3CB, PRKCQ and MAPK14, etc. The core signaling pathways included endocrine resistance, insulin resistance and Th17 cell differentiation. Compared with model group, except for the Zexie formula granules group and Baizhu formula granules group, the absorbance values in all other administration groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01); the absorbance value of Baizhu traditional decoction group was significantly higher than that of ZXT traditional decoction group (P<0.01); the absorbance values of Zexie formula granule group and Baizhu formula granule group were significantly higher than that of ZXT formula granule group (P<0.01); the absorbance value of Zexie formula granule group was significantly higher than that of Zexie traditional decoction group (P<0.01); the absorbance value of Baizhu formula granule group was significantly higher than that of Baizhu traditional decoction group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS ZXT reduces lipid accumulation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells through multiple components, multiple target and multiple pathways, and its traditional decoction and formula granules exhibit slightly different lipid-lowering effects.

Apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) is a key transporter responsible for intestinal reabsorption of bile acid and plays an important role in maintaining bile acid and cholesterol homeostasis, and its expression is regulated by various factors including transcription factors, nuclear receptors, and intestinal microflora. The abnormal expression and function of ASBT can lead to disorders in the metabolism of bile acid and cholesterol, causing a variety of hepatobiliary diseases. At present, ASBT has attracted wide attention as a therapeutic target. This article elaborates on the biological characteristics and expression regulation mechanism of ASBT and reviews the role of ASBT in hepatobiliary diseases, in order to provide a new direction for the treatment of related diseases.

Background Cooking oil fumes are closely related to immune response, and adipose tissue also plays an important role in immune regulation. At present, the biological effect and mechanism of inflammation of adipose tissue induced by oil fume exposure are not clear yet. Objective To investigate the inflammatory effect of different exposure duration of cooking fumes on adipose tissue in mice and explore the role of Nod-like receptor pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3)/cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 1 (Caspase 1)/interleukin (IL)-1β signaling pathway. Methods Forty 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 3-day control group (CON3 group), 7-day control group (CON7 group), 3-day oil fume exposure group (COF3 group), and 7-day oil fume exposure group (COF7 group), with 10 mice in each group. The mice were exposed to oil fumes in a cooking oil fume formation and exposure equipment (COFFEE) for 20 min, followed by a 10-min pause, 1 h a day for consecutive 3 d or 7 d. General condition of mice was observed and body weight was measured every day. After exposure, blood was sampled from the eyeball. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-27, and IL-1β were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The adipose tissue of mice was collected and observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The percentages of CD4+ and CD8+T cells in adipose tissue were detected by flow cytometry. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in adipose tissue. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in adipose. Results Compared with the corresponding control group, serum IL-6, IL-27, and IL-1β contents in the COF3 group and the COF7 group were significantly increased (P<0.05) except IL-6 in the COF3 group, and the levels in the COF7 group were significantly higher than those in the COF3 group (P<0.05). Vacuolar lipid droplets in adipocytes decreased, cytoplasm shrank, and inflammatory cells infiltrated in the COF7 group after HE staining. The flow cytometry results showed that the proportions of CD4+ and CD8+T cells in adipocytes of the COF3 group and the COF7 group were increased compared to the corresponding control group, with a significant increase in the COF7 group (P<0.05), and the CD4+/CD8+T ratio also significantly increased progressively in the two groups (P<0.05). The results of RT-qPCR showed that compared with the corresponding control group, the mRNA expression levels of NF-κB, NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in adipose tissue of mice in the COF3 group and the COF7 group were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of mice in each exposure group gradually increased over time. The Western blot results showed that compared with the corresponding control group, the protein expressions of NLRP3 and Caspase 1 in the COF3 group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the expression of IL-1β protein also increased but without statistical significance. The protein expressions of NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in the COF7 group were significantly higher than those in the CON7 group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Acute exposure to cooking oil fumes can induce significant inflammatory response in adipose tissue, and the effect gradually increases with the extension of exposure time. The mechanism of action may be related to the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND:The in vitro construction of intestinal smooth muscle layer,as an important component of the intestinal wall,has attracted much attention in the bionic construction of tissue-engineered intestinal canal. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of cyclic mechanical stretching on the growth activity of intestinal smooth muscle cells and the expression of functional genes within collagen strips. METHODS:The collagen band culture system of intestinal smooth muscle cells was constructed using a self-designed collagen strip stretching culture device with self-made rat tail collagen as a scaffold and primary rat intestinal smooth muscle cells as seed cells.EthD-1/Calcein-AM cell activity staining,magenta staining,cytoskeleton-Ki67 immunofluorescence staining were used to observe the growth activity and proliferation of the cells,and quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of desmin,α-sma,and vimentin functional genes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The collagen band culture system of intestinal smooth muscle cells was successfully constructed,and intestinal smooth muscle cells in the band had good cell activity.The number of Ki67 positive cells increased and desmin,α-sma and vimentin were significantly overexpressed under cyclic stretching and dynamic culture conditions(P<0.001).To conclude,mechanical stimulation is beneficial to maintain the growth phenotype of smooth muscle cells and promote their functional differentiation during three-dimensional culture in vitro.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and distribution of monoclonal gammopathy in clinical patients.Methods:A total of 936 171 patients (508 449 males and 427 722 females) who received capillary zone electrophoresis in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from January 2012 to December 2021 were selected, from which 14 945 patients with abnormal bands were screened as the study subjects, including 10 173 males and 4 772 females and the age 21-102 (65±13) years old. According to the age, patients were divided into 8 groups: 21-30 years old (168 cases), 31-40 years old (405 cases), 41-50 years old (1 326 cases), 51-60 years old (3 068 cases), 61-70 years old (4 985 cases), 71-80 years old (3 288 cases), 81-90 years old (1 519 cases), and≥91 years old (186 cases). The diagnostic results of the 14 945 patients with abnormal bands were collected and were divided into tumor group (5 196 cases) and non-tumor disease group (9 749 cases) according to the presence of tumor. The distribution of abnormal bands in different gender, age, and disease groups were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 14 945 patients, 4 988 cases underwent immunofixation electrophoresis, excluding 336 negative cases and 412 cases of double clonal bands reaction, and 4 240 patients with monoclonal immunoglobulin (M protein) reaction were selected as the study subjects, including 2 794 males and 1 446 females aged 21-102 (67±12) years old. They were divided into 8 groups according to the age: 21-30 years old (18 cases), 31-40 years old (91 cases), 41-50 years old (364 cases), 51-60 years old (862 cases), 61-70 years old (1 455 cases), 71-80 years old (904 cases), 81-90 years old (486 cases), and≥91 years old (60 cases). The diagnostic results and immunoglobin subtypes (IgA-κ, IgA-λ, IgG-κ, IgG-λ, IgM-κ, IgM-λ, κ, λ) of patients were collected, and the distribution of monoclonal gammopathy in different gender, age and disease groups were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among 936 171 patients, 14 945 cases showed abnormal bands in electropherograms with a detection rate of 1.60%; the detection rates of abnormal bands in males and females were 2.00% (10 173/508 449) and 1.12% (4 772/427 722), respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). There was a significant difference in the detection rate of abnormal bands among different age groups ( P<0.01); among them, the highest detection rate of abnormal band in group of ≥91 years old was 5.98%, and the ratio of male to female was 1.67∶1. Among the 14 945 cases of abnormal bands, patients aged 51-60, 61-70 and 71-80 accounted for 20.53% (3 068 cases), 33.36% (4 985 cases) and 22.00% (3 288 cases), respectively, and the differences among the age groups were statistically significant (χ 2=115.82, P<0.01). In the tumor group, the top 3 tumors with abnormal bands were plasmacytoma with 1 123 cases, lymphoma with 289 cases, and leukemia with 49 cases. The detection rate of abnormal bands in electropherograms of plasmacytoma was 89.92% (1 123/1 249), which was higher than that in lymphoma and leukemia [6.73% (289/4 296) and 6.40% (49/766), respectively, P<0.01]. Among 4 240 patients with positive M protein, the proportion of 51-60, 61-70 and 71-80 years old patients were 20.33% (862/4 240), 34.32% (1 455/4 240) and 21.32% (904/4 240), respectively, and the differences among age groups were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The results of M protein types showed that the proportion of IgG-κ type was the highest in both genders, with 32.28% (902/2 794) in males and 34.30% (496/1 446) in females. In the 21-30, 31-40, and 41-50 age groups, the proportion of IgG-λ was the highest, which were 38.89% (7/18), 36.26% (33/91) and 34.07% (124/364) in these groups respectively. However, the proportions of IgG-κ were the highest in either of the 51-60, 61-70, 71-80, 81-90 and ≥91 years old groups, which were 33.87% (292/862), 34.16% (497/1 455), 31.53% (285/904), 34.57% (168/486), 28.33% (17/60), respectively, and the differences among all age groups and gender groups had statistical significance ( P<0.01). Among patients with positive M protein in the tumor group, plasmacytoma accounted for 14.22% (603/4 240), followed by lymphoma 6.30% (267/4 240); among non-tumor diseases, M proteinemia accounted for the highest proportion (7.24%, 307/4 240), followed by pulmonary infection (5.47%, 232/4 240). Conclusions:The detection rate of abnormal bands in capillary zone electrophoresis may increase with age, and is higher in males than in females in the same age group; different malignant tumor diseases can also show abnormal bands in capillary zone electrophoresis, but they are still mainly hematological tumors. Among the positive results of M protein, 61-70 years old group accounts for the highest proportion; the most common type of monoclonal gammopathy is IgG type; in the age group of 21-50 years, the proportion of IgG-λ type is the highest; in the group of >50 years old, the proportion of IgG-κ type is the highest; in the diagnosis of positive monoclonal gammopathy, the top 3 diseases are all hematological diseases, including plasmacytoma, monoclonal gammopathies and lymphoma.

[Objective]Depression is a common mental illness with a profound impact on physical health.Depression has been associated with a higher risk of bacterial infection;however,whether this relationship is causal and how depression affects infection remains unclear.Therefore,we aimed to investigate the effects of depressive phenotype in infected mice by constructing a chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)model.[Methods]Mice were induced with CUMS for 4 weeks.The depressive phenotype was evaluated using behavioral tests.Subsequently,the mice were intraperitoneally injected with Klebsiella pneumoniae to establish bacterial infection.Serum and abdominal tissues were collected 48 h after infection.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the tissues,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure the levels of inflammatory factors.In addition,the fecal samples collected before infection were analyzed for 16S rDNA gene of gut microbiota,and the expression levels of NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway in colon tissues of uninfected mice were detected.[Results]Behavioral tests showed that compared with the control mice,CUMS mice had significantly lower body weight(P<0.0001,t=5.426),lower sucrose preference rate(P<0.001,t=4.937),increased swimming stationary time(P<0.001,t=16.37),and decreased time spent in the central area of the open field(P<0.01,t=3.575).Survival analysis showed that compared with the control mice,the survival rate of CUMS mice significantly decreased after infection(P<0.05).Additionally,histochemical staining showed that tissue damage in the liver(P<0.05,t=4.025),kidney(P<0.05,t=2.828),and mesentery(P<0.01,t=5.367)significantly increased.Furthermore,ELISA results showed that the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6(P<0.01,t=3.365),IL-1β(P<0.01,t=4.061),TNF-α(P<0.01,t=4.460)and LPS(P<0.0001,t=27.24)were elevated.The difference was statistically significant.According to 16S rDNA sequencing,CUMS-induced changes in the intestinal bacterial community structure of mice,making them significantly different from the control mice.Compared with the control mice,the expression levels of NF-κB(P<0.01,t=6.825)and NLRP3(P<0.001,t=9.561)were upregulated in CUMS mice.[Conclusion]The CUMS model was successfully constructed and CUMS mice developed more severe bacterial infection.Gut microbiota was dysregulated and the expression of NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway was up-regulated in CUMS mice,which was related to the susceptibility to bacterial infection.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of atorvastatin combined with indobufen in the treatment of elderly patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) complicated with large atheromatous ischemic stroke (LAA-IS) during convalescence.Methods:The clinical data of 102 elderly patients with DKD complicated with LAA-IS during convalescence from September 2018 to April 2022 in Baoding Second Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 51 patients were treated with atorvastatin combined with indobufen (observation group), 51 patients were treated with atorvastatin combined with aspirin (control group), and both groups were treated continuously for 6 months. The prethrombotic state indexes, neurological function and quality of daily life, carotid artery ultrasound indexes, renal fibrosis indexes before treatment and after treatment were compared between two group. The prethrombotic state indexes included arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) induction platelet aggregation rate, fibrinogen (FIB), protein C; the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to evaluate the neurological function, and the modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to evaluate the quality of daily life; carotid artery ultrasound indexes included carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and maximum plaque area; the renal fibrosis indexes included transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β 1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), hyaluronic acid and platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). The adverse reactions were recorded. Results:There were no statistical differences in the all indexes before treatment between two groups ( P>0.05). In two groups, compared before treatment, the AA induction platelet aggregation rate, ADP induction platelet aggregation rate, FIB, NIHSS score, IMT and maximum plaque area after treatment were significantly lower, the protein C and MBI score were significantly higher, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); but there were no statistical differences after treatment between two groups ( P>0.05). The TGF-β 1, MMP-9, hyaluronic acid and PDGF-BB after treatment in two groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and the indexes in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (39.46 ± 6.89) μg/L vs. (45.04 ± 8.20) μg/L, (278.46 ± 49.39) μg/L vs. (327.30 ± 57.28) μg/L, (102.37 ± 20.62) μg/L vs. (116.84 ± 24.97) μg/L vs. (25.26 ± 4.45) μg/L vs. (28.13 ± 5.08) μg/L, with statistically significant differences( P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: 7.84% (4/51) vs. 23.53% (12/51), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with atorvastatin combined with aspirin, atorvastatin combined with indobufen in elderly patients with DKD complicated with LAA-IS during convalescence has the same effect in improving the related indicators of prethrombotic state, reducing neurological function deficit, improving the ability of daily living, and reversing carotid atherosclerosis. However, atorvastatin combined with indobufen can further protect renal function with higher safety.

Objective:To explore the latent classes of health behavior and explore the predictive factors among stroke patients.Methods:A total of 1 250 participants were recruited using cluster random sampling in September 2022. The general information, the modified Rankin scale(mRS), stroke prevention knowledge questionnaire(SPKQ), health behavior scale for stroke patients (HBS-SP), and short form-health belief model scale (SF-HBMS) were administered in the cross-sectional survey. Mplus 8.3 software was used to conduct a latent class analysis (LCA) on the health behavior of stroke patients, and SPSS 27.0 software was used to carry out multinomial Logistic regression to analyze the predictive factors of different latent classes of health behavior of stroke patients.Results:The health behavior of stroke patients obtained three latent classes: low health behaviors-lack of health responsibility group (66.9%, n=794), moderate health behaviors-poor compliance group (11.9%, n=141), and good health behaviors-insufficient exercise group (21.2%, n=251). Compared with good health behaviors-insufficient exercise group, stroke patients with shorter duration education time ( B=-0.589, OR=0.555, P=0.036), hemorrhagic stroke ( B=0.082, OR=1.086, P<0.001), fewer comorbidities ( B=-0.022, OR=0.978, P=0.026), higher mRS score ( B=-0.046, OR=1.047, P=0.004), lower SPKQ score ( B=-0.055, OR=0.947, P=0.016), and lower SF-HBMS score ( B=-0.085, OR=0.919, P<0.001) were more likely to be included in moderate health behaviors-poor compliance group. However, stroke patients with shorter duration education time ( B=-0.026, OR=0.974, P=0.003), rural areas dwelling ( B=0.800, OR=2.225, P=0.004), fewer comorbidities ( B=-0.056, OR=0.945, P<0.001), lower SPKQ score ( B=-0.101, OR=0.904, P<0.001), and lower SF-HBMS score ( B=-0.071, OR=0.931, P<0.001) were more likely to be included in low health behaviors-lack of health responsibility group. Conclusion:The health behavior of stroke patients has three latent classes. A targeted intervention should be carried out according to the characteristics of different classes to improve their health behavior levels.
