Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of anti-mesangial cell-proliferation-peptide 2(AMPP2)on mesangial cell proliferation induced by transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1).Methods Mesangial cells were cultured in vitro and treated with TGF-β1(10 μg/L)and AMPP2(10 ng/L).According to different intervention factors,mesangial cells were divided into four groups:the control group,the AMPP2 group,the TGF-β1 group and the TGF-β1+AMPP2 group.The proliferation activity of mesangial cells was detected by CCK-8.The relative protein expression of cyclin dependent kinase 4(CDK-4),cyclin dependent kinase 6(CDK-6),proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),collagen-Ⅰ(COL-Ⅰ)and fibronectin(FN)were examined by Western blot assay.The relative mRNA expression of α-SMA,COL-Ⅰ and FN were detected by qPCR.Results Compared with the control group,proliferation activity of mesangial cells was significantly increased in the TGF-β1 group(P＜0.05).The proliferation activity of mesangial cells was markedly decreased in the TGF-β1+AMPP2 group compared with that of the TGF-β1 group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,protein levels of CDK-4,CDK-6,PCNA,α-SMA,COL-Ⅰand FN in cells were significantly increased in the TGF-β1 group(P＜0.05),as well as the mRNA levels of α-SMA,COL-Ⅰand FN(P＜0.05).In the TGF-β1+AMPP2 group,the protein and mRNA levels of α-SMA,COL-Ⅰand FN and the protein levels of CDK-4,CDK-6 and PCNA were markedly decreased compared with those of the TGF-β1 group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,levels of p-SMAD3/SMAD3 was remarkably upregulated in the TGF-β1 group(P＜0.05),while levels of p-SMAD3/SMAD3 was remarkably downregulated in the TGF-β1+AMPP2 group compared with those of the TGF-β1 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion AMPP2 may inhibit mesangial cell proliferation by regulating TGF-β1/SMAD3 pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of tRF-1:30-Gln-CTG-4(tRF-1:30)on the expression of inflammatory factors in high glucose(HG)-induced renal tubular epithelial cells(RTECs).Methods RTECs were divided into the control group,the HG group,the HG+tRF-1:30 mimic group,the HG+tRF-1:30 negative control(NC)group,the HG+si-IKZF2 group and the HG+si-NC group.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used to detect the expression levels of tRF-1:30,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)and IKAROS family zinc finger protein 2(IKZF2).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and MCP-1.Protein expression of IKZF2 was detected by Western blot assay.Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between tRF-1:30 and IKZF2.Results The expression levels of inflammatory factors were elevated in HG-induced RTECs,and the expression level of tRF-1:30 was decreased(P＜0.05).Overexpression of tRF-1:30 significantly decreased expression levels of inflammatory factors in HG-induced RTECs(P＜0.05),and the expression level of IKZF2 was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Further knockdown of IKZF2 can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors,and the expression level of IKZF2 was down-regulated after overexpression of tRF-1:30.Double luciferase reporting experiment further verified the possible targeting relationship between tRF-1:30 and IKZF2.Conclusion Overexpression of tRF-1:30 inhibits the expression of inflammatory factors in HG-induced RTECs by target binding and negatively regulating the expression of IKZF2.

OB JECTIVE To explore the construction of system of pharmacoeconomic evaluation fo r Chinese patent medicine in preventing and treating major chronic diseases. METHODS The problems in pharmacoeconomic evaluation of Chinese patent medicine for preventing and treating major chronic diseases were analyzed. Based on the problem ，the pharmacoeconomic theory ， tools and methods that can be used to systematically evaluate the prevention and treatment of major chronic diseases by Chinese patent medicine were explored to build the relevant pharmacoeconomic evaluation system. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Traditional Chinese medicine shows the advantages in the prevention and treatment of major chronic diseases. This unique advantage needed to be explored ，reflected and proved in the pharmacoeconomic evaluation. The pharmacoeconomic evaluation of Chinese patent medicine had made some progress in recent years. However ，there were still deficiencies of theory and methodology in the pharmacoeconomic evaluation for the advantages of Chinese patent medicine in preventing and treating major chronic diseases. It was difficult to truly and comprehensively reflect the value of Chinese patent medicine by simply applying the economic evaluation indicators and technologies of chemical medicine. It is necessary to focus on the unique pharmacoeconomic attributes of Chinese patent medicine ，excavate the economic value indicators of Chinese patent medicine for “preventive treatment of disease ” and playing the self-regulation role of human body ，comprehensively consider the pharmacoeconomic particularity of Chinese patent medicine in respects of research design ，research angle ，target population ，intervention measures and control selection ，research time limit and evaluation method ，etc. Through the use of system modeling ，real-world research and the establishment of Chinese medicinal quality of life scale that reflects the characteristics of TCM ，the economic value of Chinese patent medicine in the prevention and treatmen t of major chronic diseases is reflected comprehensively，so as to reflect the advantage of Chinese patent medicine in preventing and treating major chronic diseases.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of microwave ablation (MWA) and surgical resection in the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma(SHCC).Methods:Sixty five SHCC patients with intact clinical data, treated in the Center of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Peking University People's Hospital between Feb 2005 and Aug 2012, were enrolled in this study. Among them, 30 patients were treated by MWA, and the other 35 by hepatectomy. Follow-up was conducted from Mar 2013 to Feb 2021. The differences in long-term survival, intraoperative blood loss, operative time, postoperative complications, performance status (PS), and postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups.Results:The survival probability at 1, 3, 5 and 10 years was 93.2%, 82.5%, 55.6% and 41.2%, respectively, in the MWA group, and 97.1%, 82.6%, 67.2% and 48.3%, in the resection group ( P=0.347). The MWA group had less perioperative complications, less blood loss, shorter operation time, better PS score and better hospital stay than the surgical resection group (all P<0.001).There was no statistically significant difference in the survival rate between BCLC stage 0~A1 and A2~A4 patients( P=0.773, 0.536). Conclusions:Microwave ablation in the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma can achieve similar results as hepatectomy with less traumatic,better postoperative PS score and shorter postoperative hospital stay.

Objective:To explore the effect of different intensity electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback pelvic floor muscle training on postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in vaginal delivery patients.Methods:Seven hundred and twenty patients with PFD after vaginal delivery from January 2017 to April 2019 in Jinshan Branch of Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital were selected. The patients were divided into control group (358 cases) and observation group (362 cases) by random digits table method. The control group was treated with conventional electric stimulation combined with biofeedback pelvic floor muscle training, and the observation group was treated with enhanced electric stimulation combined with biofeedback pelvic floor muscle training. The electrophysiological indexes of pelvic floor, incidence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence function questionnaire (PISQ-12) score and the 6 measurement points of quantitative stage of pelvic organ prolapse (POP-Q) staging method after treatment were compared between 2 groups. The 6 measuring points were 3 cm from central line of anterior wall of vagina to edge of the hymen (Aa point), furthest point in the upper part of anterior wall of vagina between top of vagina or anterior vault to Aa point (Ba point), 3 cm point from central line of vaginal posterior wall to hymen (Ap point), farthest point of posterior vaginal vault or upper part of posterior vaginal wall from top of vagina to Ap point (Bp point), farthest point of the top of vagina after cervix or hysterectomy (C point) and position of posterior fornix in presence of cervix (D point).Results:The fatigue degree of class Ⅰ muscle fibers, fatigue degree of class Ⅱ muscle fibers, average electromyography value of pre rest, average electromyography value of slow muscle, average electromyography value of post rest, maximum electromyography value of fast muscle and dynamic vaginal pressure in observation group were significantly better than those in control group: (- 2.51 ± 0.22)% vs. (- 3.29 ± 0.37)%, (- 2.89 ± 0.27)% vs. (- 3.18 ± 0.32)%, (3.41 ± 0.39) μV vs. (2.91 ± 0.28) μV, (30.12 ± 0.22) μV vs. (28.29 ± 0.37) μV, (3.14 ± 0.55) μV vs. (2.51 ± 0.30) μV, (39.89 ± 0.27) μV vs. (38.18 ± 0.32) μV and (76.92 ± 28.18) cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa) vs. (69.10 ± 30.66) cmH 2O, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The incidence of SUI and PISQ-12 score in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: 14.36% (52/362) vs. 27.09% (97/358) and (28.49 ± 3.61) scores vs. (37.62 ± 3.83) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The Aa, Ba, Ap and C points in observation group were significantly improved than those in control group: (- 2.69 ± 0.21) cm vs. (- 2.38 ± 0.13) cm, (- 2.30 ± 0.52) cm vs. (- 2.21 ± 0.33) cm, (- 2.91 ± 0.35) cm vs. (- 2.85 ± 0.24) cm and (- 5.33 ± 065) cm vs. (- 5.20 ± 056) cm, and there were statistical differences ( t=2.365, 2.469, 2.691 and 2.889; P<0.05); there were no statistical differences in Bp and D points between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:After vaginal delivery, the patients with PFD who use strong electric stimulation combined with biofeedback pelvic floor muscle training can significantly improve the pelvic floor electrophysiological index and POP-Q staging, reduce the incidence of SUI, and improve the quality of sexual life.

Objective: To analyze the heritability of diabetes among the Chinese twin adults. Methods: A total of 10 253 same-sex twin pairs aged 25 years and older, were selected from the Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR) program. Heritability of diabetes was calculated by using the structural equation model. Results: After adjusted for age and gender, the overall heritability rates of diabetes were 0.41 (0.15-0.75), 0.83 (0.72-0.91) and 0.34 (0.04-0.73) in the <45 and ≥45 years twin pairs, respectively. After adjusted for age, rates of heritability appeared as 0.37 (0.05-0.78) and 0.88 (0.79-0.94) in men and women, respectively. Conclusions Diabetes is affected by both genetic and environmental factors. The genetic effect of diabetes seemed stronger on female than that on male twins but was dying down along with ageing.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and risk factors of death in patients with acute mushroom poisonings. Methods The clinical data of 210 patients with acute mushroom poisoning admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from July 2013 to December 2016 and received follow-up for at least 6 months were retrospectively analyzed. The data included gender, age, hospitalization time, toadstool features, incubation period, clinical performance, laboratory indicators, and prognosis. According to the prognosis, the patients were divided into survival group and non-survival group, the clinical characteristics and organ or system involvement of the two groups were analyzed, and the risk factors of death in patients with acute mushroom poisoning were explored by univariate and Logistic regression analysis. Results All 210 patients were enrolled in the final analysis, with 172 patients (81.9%) in survival group, and 38 (18.1%) in non-survival group. Patients with an incubation period of 6-24 hours had the highest mortality [15.2% (32/210)]. Most toadstools were in white, red or yellow, with an intake of 20-500 g. More than 85% of patients had gastrointestinal reactions, and liver damage was the most common [58.1% (122/210)] in all patients. The patients with heart and nervous system damage had higher mortality [61.4% (27/44) and 61.3% (19/31)], and the more organs or systems involved, the higher the mortality was. Univariate analysis showed that incubation period ≥ 6 hours, white blood cell (WBC) ≥12×109/L, alanine aminotransferase (ALT)≥200 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥ 200 U/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≥ 500 U/L, prothrombin time (PT) ≥ 20 s, activated partial thrombin time (APTT) ≥ 40 s, prothrombin activity (PTA) ≤ 60%, Na+≤ 135 mmol/L, MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) ≥ 5 μg/L and myoglobin (Mb) ≥ 100 μg/L were the risk factors of death in patients with acute mushroom poisoning. Multiple factors Logistic regression analysis showed that APTT ≥ 40 s had the greatest lethal risk and could increase the risk of death by 5.35 times [odds ratio (OR) = 6.35, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.24-32.44], indicating that APTT was an independent risk factor of death in patients with acute mushroom poisoning. Conclusions The mortality of acute mushroom poisoning was high, and liver was the mainly involved organ. The incubation period, WBC, ALT, AST,LDH, PT, APTT, PTA, Na+, CK-MB and Mb could be early indicators to evaluate the prognosis in patients with acute mushroom poisoning, and patients with APTT ≥ 40 s had the greatest lethal risk.

Objective To introduce a new method for preparation of bioactive β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) by rapid stem cell screen-and-enrich-and-combine circulating system (SECCS) and evaluate its efficacy in the treatment of fresh fractures and bone defects.Methods Twenty-two patients with fresh fracture and bone defects were treated with SECCS from July 2013 to April 2016.They were 16 males and 6 females with an average age of 52.2 years (from 27 to 81 years).There were 15 tibial plateau fractures and 7 calcaneal fractures.The average size of bone defects was 12.5 mL.Bioactive β-TCP was prepared by SECCS intraoperatively and implanted back immediately into the bone defects.Radiographic examination,Lysholm knee scoring and Maryland foot scoring were used for assessment of curative efficacy.Results The 22 patients were followed up for an average of 25.7 months (from 12 to 46 months).By SECCS,the enrichment efficiency of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) reached up to 82.4％ and the cell viability was not affected.The tibial plateau fractures were re-transplanted with 13,381.3 BMSCs on average and healed after an average of 8.9 weeks (from 6 to 15 weeks).The Lysholm knee scores at one year postoperatively averaged 93.6 points (from 84 to 100 points),yielding 10 excellent cases,4 good cases and one fair case.The calcaneal fractures were implanted back with 16,677.7 BMSCs on average and healed after an average of 9.4 weeks (from 8 to 13 weeks).The average Maryland foot score at one year after operation was 93.6 points (from 85 to 98 points),yielding 6 excellent cases and one good case.Conclusion Bioactive materials prepared by SECCS are good bone grafts for fresh fractures and bone defects.

Objective To investigate the roles of human leukocyte antigen-G ( HLA-G) in mye-loid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) proliferation and M1/M2 macrophage differentiation in C57BL/6-NCI-H446-G tumor-bearing mice for better understanding the mechanisms of HLA-G involved in tumor immune evasion. Methods NCI-H446 ( human small cell lung cancer cells) and NCI-H446-G ( NCI-H446 cells ex-pressing HLA-G) cells were labeled with CFSE at a final concentration of 1μmol/L. CFSE fluorescence lev-els were measured by flow cytometry at different time points. Mouse tumor models were established by subcu-taneous injection of C57BL/6 mice with NCI-H446 and NCI-H446-G cells, respectively. PBS was used to set up negative control group. The mice in each group were sacrificed to collect tissue samples on 5 d, 10 d, 15 d and 20 d after injection. The percentages of splenic CD11b+Gr1+MDSCs, F4/80+CD80+M1 and F4/80+CD206+M2 macrophages were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results Steady expression of HLA-G in NCI-H446-G cells was confirmed by Western blot and flow cytometry. HLA-G enhanced the proliferation of NCI-H446 cells. Tumor size increased dramatically in tumor-bearing mice in the first five days and then de-creased over time. The tumor-bearing mice in the NCI-H446-G group had larger tumor than those in the NCI-H446 group in every time point (P<0. 05) and required longer time to fully reject the tumor. Compared with the PBS and NCI-H446 groups, the percentage of splenic MDSCs in tumor-bearing mice was significantly in-creased in the NCI-H446-G group (P<0. 05). Moreover, the ratio of M1/M2 in NCI-H446-G tumor-bearing mice was much lower than that in the other two groups (P<0. 05). Conclusion This study indicated that HLA-G could increase the percentage of MDSCs and decrease the ratio of M1/M2, which might illustrate the role of HLA-G in tumor immune evasion and its potential clinical significance in cancer immunotherapy.
