BACKGROUND:Stem cell transplantation is a new way to prevent and cure intervertebral disc degeneration.However,whether the transplanted stem cells can survive,proliferate,differentiate,and restore the function of nucleus pulposus cells after transplantation,is the key and difficult point to overcome. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of Bushenhuoxue decoction on survival,proliferation,and nucleus pulposus-like differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells. METHODS:A Transwell chamber was used to construct a co-culture model of human adipose-derived stem cells and human degenerative nucleus pulposus cells.The experiment was divided into control group,model group,drug-containing serum group,and drug-free serum group.Except for the control group,the co-culture system of other groups was treated with 50 μmol/L tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours.The drug-containing serum group and drug-free serum group were treated with DMEM low-glucose complete culture medium containing drug-containing serum of Bushenhuoxue decoction or drug-free serum with 20％volume fraction for 48 hours.The sublayer adipose-derived stem cells were taken.Toluidine blue staining was used to detect proteoglycan synthesis levels.Real-time PCR method was used to detect mRNA expression of type Ⅱ collagen,proteoglycan and SRY-box transcription factor 9.The protein expression of SOX9 was detected by western blot assay.Lactate dehydrogenase assay was used to detect cytotoxicity.Flow cytometry was used to detect reactive oxygen species,and β-galactosidase staining was used to detect cell senescence. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the control group,the proportion of necrotic cells in the model group increased;toluidine blue staining became lighter,and the expression levels of type Ⅱ collagen,proteoglycan,SOX9 mRNA and SOX9 protein decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the drug-containing serum of Bushenhuoxue decoction could significantly reduce cell injury and promote the expression of type Ⅱ collagen,proteoglycan,SOX9 mRNA,and SOX9 protein(P<0.05),but the improvement in the drug-free serum group was not significant(P>0.05).(2)Compared with the control group,the contents of cytotoxicity,reactive oxygen species,and cell senescence in the model group were significantly increased.Compared with the model group,the microenvironment of the coculture system was significantly improved by drug-containing serum of Bushenhuoxue decoction(P<0.05),while drug-free serum had no significant effect on the microenvironment of the co-culture system(P>0.05).(3)The results show that Bushenhuoxue decoction can promote the survival,proliferation,and nucleus pulposus-like differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells.

Objective:To construct a machine-learning model for predicting the progression of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) based on clinical and CT features, and to evaluate its predictive performance in internal/external testing cohorts.Methods:Baseline clinical and radiological data of 200 PCLs in 177 patients undergoing abdominal thin slice enhanced CT examination at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2014 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected. PCLs were divided into progressive and non-progressive groups according to whether the signs indicated for surgery by the guidelines of the European study group on PCLs were present during three-year follow-up. 200 PCLs were randomly divided into training (150 PCLs) and internal testing cohorts (50 PCLs) at the ratio of 1∶3. 15 PCLs in 14 patients at Jinling Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Nanjing University from October 2011 to May 2020 were enrolled as external testing cohort. The clinical and CT radiological features were recorded. Multiple feature selection methods and machine-learning models were implemented and combined to identify the optimal machine-learning model based on the 10-fold cross-validation method. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was drawn and area under curve (AUC) was calculated. The model with the highest AUC was determined as the optimal model. The optimal model's predictive performance was evaluated on testing cohort by calculating AUC, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Permutation importance was used to assess the importance of optimal model features. Calibration curves of the optimal model were established to evaluate the model's clinical applicability by Hosmer-Lemeshow test.Results:In training and internal testing cohorts, the progressive and non-progressive groups were significantly different on history of pancreatitis, lesions size, main pancreatic duct diameter and dilation, thick cyst wall, presence of septation and thick septation (all P value <0.05) In internal testing cohort, the two groups were significantly different on gender, lesion calcification and pancreatic atrophy (all P value <0.05). In external testing cohort, the two groups were significantly different on lesions size and pancreatic duct dilation (both P<0.05). The support vector machine (SVM) model based on five features selected by F test (lesion size, thick cyst wall, history of pancreatitis, main pancreatic duct diameter and dilation) achieved the highest AUC of 0.899 during cross-validation. SVM model for predicting the progression of PCLs demonstrated an AUC of 0.909, sensitivity of 82.4%, specificity of 72.7%, and accuracy of 76.0% in the internal testing cohort, and 0.944, 100%, 77.8%, and 86.7% in the external testing cohort. Calibration curved showed that the predicted probability by the model was comparable to the real progression of PCLs. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test affirmed the model's consistency with actual PCLs progression in testing cohorts. Conclusions:The SVM model based on clinical and CT features can help doctors predict the PCLs progression within three-year follow-up, thus achieving efficient patient management and rational allocation of medical resource.

Objective:To investigate whether murine peroxidase reductase-5(mPRDX5)has anti-tumor activity in mice,so as to further confirm the anti-tumor activity and mechanism of recombinant peroxidase reductase-5.Methods:High purity mPRDX5 was obtained by heterologous expression and purification in vitro.Pancreatic cancer Pan02 cells were inoculated subcutaneously on the left axillary back of mice to establish a tumor bearing mouse model.Mice were randomly divided into PBS(solvent control)group,GEM(gemcitabine)50.0 mg/kg group and mPRDX5 10.0 mg/kg group,with 10 mice in each group,and the tumor related indexes were detected in mice.Results:Compared with PBS group,weight of tumor-bearing mice in GEM group was decreased obviously,while weight of mPRDX5 group was increased to a certain extent.Tumor growth was good in PBS group,according to tumor volume,com-pared with PBS group,tumor growth inhibition rates in D7 were 87.07%in GEM group and 52.82%in mPRDX5 10.0 mg/kg group,re-spectively;according to tumor weight,compared with PBS group,GEM group and mPRDX5 10.0 mg/kg group had tumor growth inhibi-tion rates of 95.39%and 48.33%in D7,respectively.Polarization state of macrophages in tumor tissues of mice in PBS group and mPRDX5 group was analyzed,and it was found that compared with PBS group,M1 macrophages expressing CD86 in tumor tissues of mice in mPRDX5 group were significantly increased,while M2 macrophages expressing CD206 were significantly decreased.Conclu-sion:mPRDX5 has significant anti-pancreatic cancer activity in mice,and the activity is exerted by promoting M1-type polarization of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of butylphthalide combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy on post-stroke cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 90 patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment who were hospitalized within 72 hours of onset in Suining County People's Hospital from December 2019 to November 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group ( n = 45/group). The control group was given conventional treatment and the observation group was given butylphthalide combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to conventional treatment. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, Montreal Cognitive Assessment score, and Activities of Daily Living score were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results:Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, Montreal Cognitive Assessment score, and Activities of Daily Living score between the two groups (all P > 0.05). At 14 days and 1 month after surgery, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores in the observation group were (4.02 ± 2.18) points and (3.21 ± 2.03) points, which were significantly lower than (5.21 ± 2.24) points and (4.62 ± 2.68) points in the control group ( t =2.55, 2.81, both P < 0.05). At 1 and 3 months after treatment, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score in the observation group were (19.79 ± 5.67) points and (23.69 ± 2.67) points, which were significantly higher than (16.88 ± 5.12) points and (19.74 ± 2.29) points in the control group ( t = 2.56, 7.53, both P < 0.05). At 1 and 3 months after treatment, Activities of Daily Living scores in the observation group were (54.85 ± 5.69) points and (74.38 ± 4.98) points, which were significantly higher than (46.78 ± 6.24) points and (63.21 ± 5.24) points in the control group ( t = 6.41, 9.76, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Butylphthalide combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of post-stroke cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke can alleviate neurologic deficits, and improve cognitive function and the ability of daily life.

Objective:To compare the laboratory diagnostic methods of Mycoplasma pneumonia(MP) and evaluate its clinical value.Methods:A prospective study.Throat swabs and double sera of children with MP infection were collected from December 2016 to January 2017 in Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University; throat swab samples of healthy children aged 3 to 5 in Chaoyang District, Beijing were collected from March to May 2017.Passive agglutination (PA) was used to detect the double serum.Taking the 4-fold increase or decrease of the specific antibody titer of the double serum as the gold standard, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn, and the laboratory methods for detecting MP infection were compared and evaluated.Results:(1)A total of 93 children with MP infection were clinically diagnosed, including 42 males (45.2%) and 51 females (54.8%), with an average age of 5.5 years.Sixty cases (64.5%) of MP infection were diagnosed.There were 349 healthy children, 198 males and 151 females, with an average age of 4.3 years.The positive rate of throat swab culture was 0.6% (2 cases), and the positive rate of fluorescent quantitative PCR(qPCR) was 18.9% (66 cases). (2) The culture specificity was the highest (100.0%) and the sensitivity was the lowest (65.0%). PA and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to detect a single serum in the acute phase, the sensitivity was 71.7% and 86.5% respectively.ROC curve suggested that the current clinical diagnostic threshold MP specific antibody IgM ≥ 1∶160 was not the best diagnostic threshold.Molecular biological diagnostic methods were the most sensitive, RNA simultaneous and testing (SAT) was 85.0% and qPCR was 93.0%; while the specificity was low, 75.7% (SAT) and 63.6% (qPCR), respectively.(3) At the same time, MP nucleic acid (SAT, PCR) of throat swabs and a single serum (ELISA, PA) of children in acute phase were detected, the sensitivity was increased to 95.0%-100.0%, and the specificity was 63.6%-75.7%.Conclusions:Molecular biology is highly sensitive in diagnosing MP infection.It has asymptomatic infection or is carried after infection.Whether it needs treatment needs to be combined with clinical practice, when MP detection is positive.The detection of a single serum in the acute phase with a course of about 1 week has high sensitivity and is of reference value for the diagnosis of MP infection, but the diagnosis needs to be combined with clinical practice.The sensitivity and accuracy of detecting MP infection by single serological test combined with SAT in acute phase are higher than that by single application.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of hand-feet-mouth disease (HFMD).Methods:The clinical and pathogenic data of 1 976 cases with HFMD hospitalized in Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu from August 2018 to September 2019 were retrospective analyzed.Results:Among the 1 976 cases of HFMD, 1 094 cases (55.36%) were one to two years old, and 803 cases (40.64%) lived in the main urban area. The majority were scattered patients (1 344 cases, 68.02%). There were 1 348(72.7%) of 1 854 cases mainly infected by Coxsackie virus 6 (CV-A6). The main distribution of rashes in children infected by CV-A6 were palm/soles, trunks, limbs, oral ulcer and perioral areal, lips and hip. The types of rash were maculopapule, vesicle, and bulla. Fever (1 543 cases, 78.09%) was the main concomitant symptom. Acute tonsillitis (811 cases, 41.04%), myocardial injury (767 cases, 38.82%), and herpetic angina (658 cases, 33.30%) were the most common complications. The incidence of onychomadesis were nine (7.03%) among the 128 patients during follow-up.Conclusions:CV-A6 is the main pathogen of the HFMD prevalence. Children less than two years old are susceptible and the main symptoms of HFMD are rash and fever.
