Objective To use superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles(SPIONs)to label chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)T cells targeting carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),and perform magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)to real time trace CEA CAR-T cells in vivo.Methods Appropriate amount of ferumoxytol,heparin sodium and protamine sulfate were mixed at high(ferumoxytol 100 μg/mL,heparin sodium 4 IU/mL,protamine sulfate 120 μg/mL),medium(ferumoxytol 50 μg/mL,heparin sodium 2 IU/mL,protamine sulfate 60 μg/mL),and low(ferumoxytol 25 μg/mL,heparin sodium 1 IU/mL,protamine sulfate 30 μg/mL)concentrations to form a SPIONs complex ferumoxytol/heparin/protamine(FHP),and then co-incubated with CEA CAR-T cells for cell labeling.The biocompatibility of FHP was detected by CCK-8 assay,EdU assay and flow cytometry.The uptake of FHP was detected by Prussian blue staining,and SPIONs content in the cells was quantitatively detected by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS).Flow cytometry was used to detect the lytic effect of FHP-labeled CEA CAR-T cells on tumor cells,and MRI was employed to scan FHP-labeled CEA CAR-T cells.Results FHP at high,medium,and low concentrations had no significant effect on the activity of CEA CAR-T cells,with cell activity above 100％determined by CCK-8 assay.DNA proliferation was above 94.3％in EdU assays.Prussian blue staining showed that CEA CAR-T cells could take FHP up,with the uptake increased with the increment of FHP concentration.ICP-MS showed that the intracellular Fe content was 440.23±189.36 ng/mL.Tumor cell killing experiment showed that FHP-labeled CEA CAR-T cells had excellent killing capability against tumor cells.MRI scans indicated that T2WI signals of FHP-labeled CEA CAR-T cells were significantly reduced with increasing FHP concentration(P＜0.01).Conclusion SPIONs complex FHP shows good biocompatibility and can effectively label CEA CAR-T cells.SPIONs complex FHP can be used as a magnetic marker for CEA CAR-T cells and a feasible MRI tracer for clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in young patients with hyperhomocysteinemia.Methods:A total of 260 patients younger than 45 years old who received treatment at the Department of Emergency, Seventh Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were included in this study. Among these patients, 126 patients with serum homocysteine levels ≥ 15.0 μmol/L were included in the hyperhomocysteinemia group, and 134 patients with serum homocysteine levels < 15.0 μmol/L were included in the control group. Height, body weight, body mass index, blood pressure, homocysteine, fasting blood glucose, blood uric acid, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide were determined in each group. Changes in risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were compared between the hyperhomocysteinemia and control groups.Results:There were significant differences in body mass index [(26.42 ± 3.54) kg/m 2vs. (22.14 ± 3.22) kg/m 2, t = 10.21, P = 0.016], blood uric acid [(308.71 ± 78.44) μmol/L vs. (285.05 ± 92.09) μmol/L, t = 2.22, P = 0.027], the incidence of coronary heart disease (73/126 vs. 61/134, χ2 = 4.00, P = 0.045) and the incidence of stroke (19/126 vs. 6/134, χ2 = 8.39, P = 0.004) between the hyperhomocysteinemia and control groups. There were no significant differences in fasting blood glucose, blood lipid level, N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide, and the incidences of diabetes mellitus and hypertension between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:The related risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases increase in young patients with hyperhomocysteinemia. The incidences of coronary heart disease and stroke are very high, and therefore timely intervention should be carried out.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum adiponectin (APN) and inflammatory markers, nutritional status and severe acute exacerbation in late stage in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods:One hundred and sixty-three male patients with AECOPD from July 2017 to April 2019 in Wusong Hospital of Baoshan District, Shanghai City were selected. The patients were divided into low APN group (serum APN ≤ 102.38 μg/L, 97 cases) and high APN group (serum APN>102.38 μg/L, 66 cases). The interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), hemoglobin, albumin, prealbumin, body mass index (BMI) and number of severe acute exacerbation in 1 year′ follow-up were compared between 2 groups, and the correlation between APN and inflammatory markers, nutritional status and number of severe acute exacerbation were analyzed.Results:The BMI, hemoglobin, prealbumin and albumin in low APN group were significantly higher than those in high APN group: (23.20 ± 3.26) kg/m 2 vs. (20.77 ± 3.78) kg/m 2, (133.23 ± 17.13) g/L vs. (125.68 ± 20.83) g/L, (185.36 ± 57.60) g/L vs. (148.83 ± 64.79) g/L, (37.09 ± 4.06) g/L vs. (33.77 ± 5.86) g/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or<0.05); there were no statistical differences in total protein, IL-6, IL-8, CRP and ESR between 2 groups ( P>0.05). APN showed negative correlation with BMI, hemoglobin, albumin and prealbumin ( r = -0.42, -0.28, -0.33 and -0.31; P<0.01); there was no correlation with IL-6, IL-8, ESR and CRP ( P>0.05). The rate of 4 times of severe acute exacerbation in 1 year′ follow-up in low APN group was significantly lower than that in high APN group: 8.25% (8/97) vs. 22.73% (15/66), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 6.79, P<0.05). Conclusions:The AECOPD patients with low APN have better nutritional status and less exacerbation. Serum APN can be used as a predictive index of severe acute exacerbation in AECOPD patients

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of inverse ratio ventilation (IRV) combined with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in infants undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with single lung ventilation (OLV) for lung cystadenomas. METHODS: A total of 66 infants undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with OLV for lung cystadenomas in our hospital from February, 2018 to February, 2019 were randomized into conventional ventilation groups (group N, =33) and inverse ventilation group (group R, =33). Hemodynamics and respiratory parameters of the infants were recorded and arterial blood gas analysis was performed at 15 min after two lung ventilation (TLV) (T), OLV30 min (T), OLV60 min (T), and 15 min after recovery of TLV (T). Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected before and after surgery to detect the expression level of advanced glycation end product receptor (RAGE). RESULTS: Sixty-three infants were finally included in this study. At T and T, Cdyn, PaO and OI in group R were significantly higher ( < 0.05) and Ppeak, PaCO and PA-aO were significantly lower than those in group N ( < 0.05). There was no significant difference in HR or MAP between the two groups at T and T ( > 0.05). The level of RAGE significantly increased after the surgery in both groups ( < 0.05), and was significantly lower in R group than in N group ( < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In infants undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with OLV for pulmonary cystadenoma, appropriate IRV combined with PEEP does not affect hemodynamic stability and can increases pulmonary compliance, reduce the peak pressure, and improve oxygenation to provide pulmonary protection.

[Abstract] Objective: To explore the regulatory effect of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG5 on invasion and migration of hypoxia-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Methods: A total of 20 pairs of cancer and para-cancerous tissue specimens resected from HCC patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2017 to June 2018, and human HCC cell lines (HepG2, MHCC-97L, MHCC-97H , Huh7) as well as immortalized human liver LO2 cells were collected for this study. Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the binding sites between hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and SNHG5. pCMVHIF-1α and shRNA-SNHG5 (sh-SNHG5) plasmids were transfected into HCC cells, respectively. qPCR was used to detect the expres‐ sion level of SNHG5 in HCC tissues and hypoxia-induced HCC cells. Western botting was used to detect the expression level of HIF-1α protein in HCC cells, and Transwell chamber method was used to detect the migration and invasion ability of HCC cells after SNHG5 si‐ lence under normoxia and hypoxia condition. Results: Compared with para-cancerous tissues and immortalized human liver LO2 cells, the expression of SNHG5 was significantly up-regulated in HCC tissues and cell lines (all P<0.01). Hypoxia promoted the expression level of SNHG5 in HCC cells, and its mechanism might be related to the combination of hypoxia-activated HIF-1α and SNHG5 promoter to promote its transcription. Hypoxia promoted the invasion and migration ability of HepG2 and MHCC-97L cells (all P< 0.01), but knockdown of SNHG5 significantly inhibited the invasion and migration ability of HepG2 and MHCC-97L cells under hy‐ poxic conditions (all P<0.01). Conclusion: SNHG5 is highly expressed in HCC tissues and cell lines and plays an important role in the invasion and migration of HCC cells induced by hypoxia.

Objective? To explore the effects of health management platform on self-management in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods? Totally 72 CKD patients discharged from the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University between January and March 2018 were selected using convenient sampling and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table. Patients in the control group received conventional health management, while patients in the observation group received health management through the online health management platform for 6 months. The CKD Self-Management Scale was used to compare the difference in self-management ability between the two groups before and after the intervention. During the follow-up, 3 patients were excluded from the observation group and 6 from the control group. Totally 32 patients were included into the observation group and 31 into the control group. Results? The observation group's self-management ability totaled (96.22±7.39), while that of the control group totaled (86.10±8.74) 3 months after the intervention; The observation group's self-management ability totaled (102.16±6.80), while that of the control group totaled (92.03±6.45) 6 months after the intervention. Repeated measurement variance analysis showed that there was statistically significant difference in self-management ability between the two groups (FTime=226.374; FGroups=10.931; Fmutual=14.318; P＜0.01). Conclusions? The health management platform can improve the self-management ability of CKD patients, which may be an effective pathway for CKD self-management.

Objective The protective effect of oleanolic acid on acute cholestatic liver injury in rats. Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n= 10 per group): sham group, bile duct ligated (BDL) group, and bile duct ligated with oleanolic acid (BDL+OA ) group. After 7 days, liver samples in all rats were collected. Expressions of bile acids pump and nuclear receptors at mRNA and protein levels were detected by RT- qPCR and Western blotting. Results At mRNA level, the expression of Mrp4 and Oatp1 expression in the BDL and BDL+OA groups were increased as compared with that in the sham group. The expression of Mrp4 increased 1.8 times in the BDL group and increased 2.3 times in the BDL+OA group (P<0.05), but the expression of Oatp1 was not statistically significant; AhR was increased 1.7-fold in the BDL group and 2.8 times in the BDL+OA group, Nrf2 was increased 1.5-fold in the BDL group and 2.1 times in the BDL+OA group with statistically significant difference. At the protein level, in the BDL group, Mrp4 expression increased 1.3 times, Oatp1 expression increased 1.5 times, AhR expression increased 1.3 times, Nrf2 expression increased 1.4 fold; in the BDL+OA group, Mrp4 expression increased 1.8 fold, AhR expression increased 1.9 fold, with statistical significance between the two groups. Oatp1 expression increased 1.4-fold in the BDL+OA group as compared with the BDL group showing no statistical significance. Conclusions Oleanolic acid stimulates the hepatic expression of bile acids pump Mrp4 associated with the activation of nuclear receptors AhR and Nrf2 in acute bile ductligated rats.
