Objective:To explore the clinical value of syndecan-1 (SDC1), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) assessment in the early diagnosis and course monitoring of patients with type 2 diabetic kidney disease (DKD).Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 232 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to the Department of Endocrinology of Kailuan General Hospital from December 2020 to December 2021 were included. The general biochemical indexes, SDC1 and ADMA were detected. According to urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), patients were divided into simple diabetes group (50 cases) and DKD group (182 cases). According to the risk of progression of DKD, the DKD group was further divided into low-progression diabetic nephropathy (LDKD) subgroup (90 cases), medium-progression diabetic nephropathy(MDKD)subgroup (55 cases), and high-progression diabetic nephropathy(HDKD) subgroup (37 cases). Forty healthy people undergoing physical examination during the same period in our hospital were selected as the healthy control group. According to the quartile value of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminase/urinary creatinine (NAG/Ucr), the DKD group was divided into Q1- Q4 subgroups, with 45, 45, 46 and 46 cases, respectively. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between SDC1, ADMA and glomerular and renal tubule injury indexes in DKD patients. Multifactor ordered Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the progression risk of DKD and renal tubular injury. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of SDC1 and ADMA for DKD. Results:The levels of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride (TG), serum creatinine (Scr), uric acid (UA), NAG/Ucr, SDC1 and ADMA in DKD group were higher than those in SDM group and healthy control group (all P<0.05). The levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA 1c) in DKD group were higher than those in healthy control group, and the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was lower than that in healthy control group (all P<0.05). The SDC1 level in HDKD subgroup was higher than that in SDM group and LDKD subgroup, and the ADMA level was higher than that in SDM group and lower than that in LDKD subgroup (all P<0.05). SDC1 level in MDKD subgroup was higher than that in SDM group and LDKD subgroup, ADMA level was higher than that in SDM group, but lower than that in LDKD subgroup (all P<0.05).The levels of SDC1 and ADMA in LDKD subgroup were higher than those in SDM group (all P<0.05). The levels of TC, AporB, HbA 1c, Scr, UACR and SDC1 in NAG/Ucr Q4 subgroup were higher than those in Q1 subgroup, the levels of Scr, UACR and SDC1 were higher than those in Q2 subgroup, and the levels of HbA 1c, Scr, UACR and SDC1 in Q3 subgroup were higher than those in Q1 subgroup (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that SDC1 was positively correlated with UACR, NAG/Ucr ( r=0.757, 0.566, all P<0.05),and was negatively correlated with eGFR ( r=-0.337, P<0.05). ADMA was positively correlated with UACR, NAG/Ucr ( r=0.197, 0.142, all P<0.05). Multifactor ordered Logistic regression analysis showed that SDC1, NAG/Ucr and Scr were the independent influencing factors of progression risk in DKD patients ( OR=2.043, 1.067, 1.047, 0.660, 1.394, all P<0.05), while SDC1, HbA 1c and ACR were the independent influencing factors of renal tubule injury in DKD patients ( OR=1.177, 1.193, 1.002,all P<0.05). ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of SDC1 for DKD diagnosis was 0.979, the sensitivity was 92.31%, and the specificity was 92.22%, while the AUC of ADMA for DKD diagnosis was 0.745, the sensitivity was 81.32%, and the specificity was 60.00%. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of the combined diagnosis of DKD were 0.981, 90.66% and 95.66%. Conclusions:SDC1 is an independent risk factor of DKD progression and tubular injury in DKD patients, which can be used to diagnose early DKD and monitor the progression of DKD. ADMA is suitable for early screening of DKD.

Rotator cuff injury often leads to shoulder pain and dysfunction. For the injured rotator cuff tendon without continuous interruption, conservative treatment is often used. However, the shoulder is used frequent in daily life, which makes that the rotator cuff injury generally shows gradual aggravation and eventually progresses to complete tear due to poor blood supply of the rotator cuff tendon tissue and weak repair ability. In order to reverse the pathophysiological changes after rotator cuff injury and promote the repair of injured rotator cuff tendon, a series of conservative treatments for rotator cuff injury have been explored. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is one of the representative treatments, but its molecular biological mechanism in promoting rotator cuff repair is still unclear. Therefore, the authors review the progress of ESWT for rotator cuff injury from aspects of the molecular biological mechanism and clinical application status, so as to provide a reference for future researches and clinical application of ESWT.

The spatiotemporal distribution of growth factors in bone tissue-engineered repair and reconstruction is critical. Growth factors can be used in bone tissue engineering through different encapsulation methods. Different encapsulation methods make growth factors have different release kinetics. At present, the common physical entrapment, easily degradable carrier and simple spatial structure usually result in poor sustained release of growth factors by burst release. The optimization of release methods of growth factors enables their release at different times and spaces in a biomimetric manner, which is conducive to improving the effect of tissue repair and avoiding the adverse effects of excessive factors. Starting from the necessity of spatiotemporal sustained release of growth factors, the authors summarize growth factors can attain spatiotemporal sustained release by being directly immobilized on the surface of the carrier, encapsulated in the carrier, encapsulated in the microparticles and encapsulated in the carrier by the microparticles and review the spatiotemporal sustained release of growth factors in different encapsulation methods, so as to provide a reference for optimizing spatiotemporal release of growth factor in bone tissue engineering.
5.Research progress on biomarkers of coal workers′ pneumoconiosis
China Occupational Medicine 2022;49(2):228-233
Coal workers' pneumoconiosis(CWP)is one of the most common occupational diseases. The pathogenesis of CWP
remains unclear and effective therapeutic drug is not exist. Therefore,looking for CWP-related biomarkers have become a focus
of research. In recent years,intensive studies have been carried out on the pathogenesis of CWP,such as inflammatory
response,alveolar epithelial cell injury,extracellular matrix remodeling,epigenetics,oxidative stress and immune dysfunction.
It has been found that some biomarkers were related to CWP,such as high mobility group protein 1,nucleotide-binding
oligomerization domain-like receptor family protein 3,surfactant protein,mucoprotein 5B,osteopontin,aminin,DNA
methylation,microRNA,long noncoding RNA,cytochrome b-245-alpha polypeptide and cluster of differentiation,and others.
These biomarkers are helpful for early screening,monitoring efficacy and pathogenesis research of CWP. However,it is
necessary to further explore biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity and conduct prospective clinical value evaluation to
better guide the prevention and treatment of CWP .

Objective:To explore the correlation between the expression of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family 6 (SLAMF6) on peripheral blood CD8 +T cells and perforin and granzyme B and the clinical significance in patients with newly diagnosed severe aplastic anemia(SAA). Methods:The indicators of blood routine and bone marrow and peripheral blood samples of 32 newly diagnosed SAA patients admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2016 to June 2019 were collected for retrospective analysis. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B on samples CD8 +T cell before therapy and 6 months after therapy (11 cases received transplantation, 21 cases received immunosuppressive therapy [IST]). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to determine the association between clinical indicators and laboratory test results. The expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B was also detected in 10 healthy people (normal group) and 13 myelodysplastic syndromes/paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (MDS/PNH) patients (MDS/PNH group). Results:(1) At diagnosis: the expression of SLAMF6 was significantly lower in the SAA group than that in the normal group and the MDS/PNH group ([56.40±6.37]% vs [84.34±5.81]% and [82.24±4.98]% (both P<0.001]). The expression of perforin was significantly higher in the SAA group (32.73±8.46) than that in the normal control group (23.75%±5.10%), and the MDS/PNH group (26.12%±5.53%) (both P<0.05). The expression of granzyme B was also significantly higher in the SAA group (36.23%±7.94%) than that in the normal control group (21.67%±5.05%) and the MDS/PNH group (21.79%±5.10%) (both P<0.001). The expression of SLAMF6 was positively correlated with the hemoglobin ( r=0.804), and reticulocyte absolute values ( r=0.656) in peripheral blood, percentage of granulocytes ( r=0.643) and erythrocytes ( r=0.622) in bone marrow of SAA patients (all P<0.05). Expression of SLAMF6 was negatively correlated with perforin ( r=-0.792) and granzyme B ( r=-0.908) on CD8 +T cells in patients with SAA (both P<0.001). (2) After treatment: the expression of SLAMF6 in peripheral blood CD8 +T cells of 30 surviving patients was higher than pre-treatment ([79.19±12.69]% vs [56.40±6.37]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than pre-treatment level (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 11 transplanted patients was higher than before transplantation ([86.54±3.75]% vs [56.40±7.35]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than before transplantation (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 12 IST-respond patients was higher than that before treatment, while the perforin and granzyme B levels were lower than pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The post-treatment expressions of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B were similar as before treatment levels in 7 IST-unrespond patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion:SLAMF6 is significantly down-regulated on CD8 +T cells in newly diagnosed SAA, negatively correlated with the effective factors of CD8 +T cells, which might participate in the immune regulatory of CD8 +T cells as a negative regulatory factor in patients with SAA. The SLAMF6 is significantly up-regulated after hematopoietic recovery, while there is no significant change in treatment-unrespond patients, which could thus serve as an useful diagnostic and therapeutic index of patients with SAA.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of flow diversion combined with coil embolization in treatment of intracranial aneurysms.Methods:The clinical data of 110 patients with intracranial aneurysms treated by flow diversion in our hospital from April 2015 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. In these patients, 48 were treated by flow diversion combined with coil embolization and 62 were treated by flow diversion alone; the efficacy and safety of patients from the two groups were compared.Results:Blood flow diversion was successfully implanted into all 110 patients, with technical success rate of 100%. Immediate complete occlusion rate in the flow diversion combined with coil embolization group (16.7%) was significantly higher than that in the flow diversion group (1.6%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative complications between flow diversion combined with coil embolization group and flow diversion group (4.17% vs. 4.84%, P>0.05). During the mean follow-up of 6.72±3.80 months, modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores of patients in the flow diversion combined with coil embolization group were all 0; one patient had mRS score of 1, one patients had mRS scores of 2, and 60 patients had mRS score of 0 in patients from the flow diversion group; no significant difference was noted between the two groups ( P>0.05). Patients in the flow diversion combined with coil embolization group had significantly higher rate of complete aneurysm occlusion than those in the flow diversion group (88.3% vs. 66.1%, P<0.05). Conclusions:Flow diversion is an effective and safe strategy in treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Flow diversion combined with coil embolization can effectively promote early healing of aneurysms in selective patients.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the changes of serum levels and significance of surfactant protein( SP) A and SP-D in patients with stage Ⅰ coal workers' pneumoconiosis( CWP). METHODS: A random sampling method was used to select 88 cases of stage Ⅰ CWP patients as the CWP group,50 cases of healthy underground miners with similar dust exposure history as the dust exposure group and 38 cases of ground workers without dust exposure history as the control group. The serum levels of SP-A and SP-D in 3 groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS: The levels of serum SP-A and SP-D in the CWP group and the dust exposure group were higher than that of the control group( P <0. 05). The serum level of SP-D in the CWP group was higher than that of the dust exposure group( P < 0. 01). The serum level of SP-D in the smoking CWP subgroup was lower than that of the non-smoking CWP subgroup( P < 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The abnormal serum levels of SP-A and SP-D were related to the development of stage Ⅰ CWP. Smoking might affect the serum level of SP-D in stage Ⅰ CWP patients.
