OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effects of silymarin (SM) on glioma in vivo and in vitro and its potential mechanism. METHODS Human glioma cell line U87 cells were randomly divided into control group, SM low- concentration, SM medium-concentration and SM high-concentration groups (50, 100, 200 μg/mL), protein kinase B (Akt) activator group (SC79 20 μmol/L), high-concentration of SM combined with Akt activator group (SM 200 μg/mL+SC79 20 μmol/L). After drug treatment (except for the control group), optical density (OD) value, clone formation rate, apoptotic rate, the expressions of proliferation/apoptosis-related proteins [proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl- 2-associated X protein (Bax), caspase-3], the phosphorylation levels of Akt/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway related proteins [Akt, p38 MAPK, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2)] were detected in each group. The xenograft tumor model in nude mice was established by injecting U87 cells subcutaneously via the right armpit, and then divided into control group, SM low-dose, SM medium-dose and SM high-dose groups (25, 50, 100 mg/kg), Akt activator group (SC79 40 mg/kg), high-dose of SM combined with Akt activator group (SM 100 mg/kg+SC79 40 mg/kg), with 5 mice in each group. After drug intervention (except for the control group of nude mice), the tumor mass was weighed and the tumor volume was calculated. RESULTS Compared with control group, the OD values, clone formation rates, protein expressions of PCNA and Bcl- 2, phosphorylation levels of Akt, p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 in SM groups, tumor mass and volume in nude mice of SM groups were all decreased significantly, while the apoptosis rates, protein expressions of Bax and caspase-3 were increased significantly, in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05);the trend of changes in the above indicators in the Akt activator group was opposite (P< 0.05), and Akt activator could significantly attenuate the inhibitory effect of high-concentration/high-dose SM on glioma in vivo and in vitro (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS SM may promote the apoptosis of U87 cells, and inhibit its proliferation, clone formation and tumor growth in xenograft nude mice by inhibiting Akt/MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective:
To understand changes and health equity of low vision in children and adolescents in Chongqing, and to provide reference for student myopia prevention and control.
Methods:
Using longitudinal studies, all school students in grades 1 to grade 12 in Chongqing were examined for visual acuity during 2018 to 2021, and the prevalence as well as changes of low vision were analyzed. In 2021, stratified random sampling was used to evaluate the health equity of uncorrected visual acuity and diopter(spherical equivalent, SE).
Results:
The prevalence of low vision for children and adolescents in Chongqing from 2018 to 2021 was 54.12%, 58.17%, 60.03% and 58.20% respectively. Low vision showed an increasing trend in the first three years and decreased by 1.83% in 2021 as compared with 2020( χ 2 trend =13 870.45, P <0.01). The difference in the detection rate of poor vision among students in different grades was statistically significant( χ 2=17 396.36, 2 093.95, 771.87, P <0.01). From 2018 to 2021, the detection rate of low vision in girls was higher than that of boys( P <0.01). The Gini coefficient was 0.054 57 for uncorrected visual acuity in urban area, higher than in rural areas (0.035 94). Meanwhile, the Gini coefficient of urban and rural SE was 0.065 82, higher than the country (0.049 30). The results showed that myopia in children and adolescents was more uneven in urban areas.
Conclusion
The adjustment of myopia prevention and control strategies in the late stage of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic is related to the reduction of the detection rate of poor vision in children and adolescents in Chongqing. Low vision varied by grade and gender, suggesting tailored myopia prevention and control strategy. The detection rate of poor vision in cities is more uneven than in rural areas, and different myopia prevention and control measures need to be implemented according to regional characteristics.

Objective:To summarize the relationship between the clinicopathological features and prognosis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) after renal transplantation.Methods:A total of 34 patients with IgAN after renal transplantation confirmed by renal biopsy were enrolled. And another 34 patients with primary IgAN confirmed by initial renal biopsy were adopted as controls. Clinical and pathological features of two groups were compared to explore the relationship between clinicopathological features and prognosis of allograft IgAN.Results:As compared with primary IgAN group, renal function in allograft IgAN group included serum creatinine [(158.5±75.9) vs (84.8±26.8) umol/L], urea nitrogen [(9.7±6.1) vs (5.2±1.4) mmol/L], uric acid [(406.7±87.8) vs (359.0±92.6) umol/L], estimated glomerular filtration rate {(57.4±25.4) vs (91.2±28.6) [ml/(min·1.73m 2)]}. All were statistically significantly higher ( P<0.05) while other parameters showed no differences. Pathologically, the proportion of T1 type (50.0% vs 17.6%) of renal tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis was significantly higher in allograft IgAN group than control group ( P<0.05). Furthermore, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed between various pathological parameters and prognosis in allograft IgAN patients. It indicated that the degree of mesangial hyperplasia of patients with transplanted IgAN had a significantly negative impact on the prognosis. Conclusions:The clinicopathological features of patients with allograft IgAN show no difference from those of patients with primary IgAN. And among patients with allograft IgAN, those with severe mesangial hyperplasia often have a worse prognosis.

Objective:To study the effects of enoxaparin on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) and the exosomes derived from BMSCs.Methods:After the BMSCs from 4-week old male SD rats were cultured, their surface antigen and multilineage differentiation potentials were identified. Subsequently, the BMSCs were incubated with osteogenic differentiation medium containing 10 IU/mL enoxaparin for 14 days. After the exosomes derived from BMSCs (BMSC-Exos) were extracted by the kit method, their structure was observed by transmission electron microscopy and their surface antigen CD63 detected by Western blot. Alizarin red staining was used to analyze the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Osteogenic proteins including OCN and BMP-2 in BMSCs and exosomes were detected.Results:The spindle-shaped BMSCs isolated and cultured showed a uniform spiral pattern. They expressed highly the surface markers CD29 and CD44 but lowly CD34 and CD45, indicating that the majority of the cells were BMSCs. BMSC-Exos, in an oval shape with a diameter of about 30 to 80 nm, expressed CD63. Alizarin red staining showed that the number of mineralized nodules in the enoxaparin treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Western blot analysis indicated that enoxaparin inhibited the expression of osteocalcin (OCN) and BMP-2 in BMSCs. ELISA results showed that the protein levels of OCN(48.81 ng/mL ± 8.23 ng/mL) and BMP-2 (311.45 pg/mL ± 27.59 pg/mL) in the BMSCs treated with enoxaparin were significantly lower than those of OCN (80.43 ng/mL ± 10.74 ng/mL) and BMP-2 (399.23 pg/mL ± 32.25 pg/mL) in the control BMSCs ( P<0.05). The contents of OCN (1.45 ng/mL±0.15 ng/mL) and BMP-2 (18.47 pg/mL ± 0.54 pg/mL) in the exosomes from BMSCs treated with enoxaparin were significantly higher than those of OCN (1.00 ng/mL ± 0.12 ng/mL) and BMP-2 (9.07 ng/mL ± 0.36 pg/mL) in the exosomes from control BMSCs ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Enoxaparin may inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The mechanism of this might be related to its direct inhibition against the expression of OCN and BMP-2 in BMSCs and its indirect reduction of OCN and BMP-2 in BMSCs through the exhaust of the above proteins in the form of exosomes.

To dynamically investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteremia pathogens isolated from different regions in China in 2011, 2013 and 2016. Non-repetitive isolates from nosocomial bloodstream infections were retrospectively collected and detected for antimicrobial susceptibility tests (AST) by agar dilution or microbroth dilution methods. Whonet 5.6 was used to analyze the AST data. Among 2 248 isolates, 1 657 (73.7%) were Gram-negative bacilli and 591 (26.3%) were Gram-positive cocci. The top five bacteremia pathogens were as follows, Escherichia coli (32.6%, 733/2 248), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.5%, 327/2 248), Staphylococcus aureus (10.0%, 225/2 248), Acinetobacter baumannii (8.7%, 196/2 248) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6.2%, 140/2 248). Colistin (96.5%, 1 525/1 581, excluding innate resistant organisms), tigecycline (95.6%, 1 375/1 438, excluding innate resistant organisms), ceftazidine/clavulanate acid (89.2%, 1 112 /1 246), amikacin (86.4%, 1 382/1 599) and meropenem (85.7%, 1 376/1 605) showed relatively high susceptibility against Gram-negative bacilli. While tigecycline, teicoplanin and daptomycin (the susceptibility rates were 100.0%), vancomycin and linezolid (the susceptibility rates were 99.7%) demonstrated high susceptibility against Gram-positive cocci. The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing Enterobacteriaceae were 50.6% (206/407), 49.8% (136/273) and 38.9% (167/429) in 2011, 2013 and 2016 respectively; carbapenem-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae were 2.2% (9/408), 4.0% (16/402) and 3.9% (17/439) in 2011, 2013 and 2016 respectively; The prevalence of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii (MDRA) was 76.4% (55/72) in 2011, 82.7% (43/52) in 2013 and 87.5% (63/72) in 2016, respectively. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRP) was 9.8% (5/51) in 2011, 20.0% (7/35) in 2013 and 13.0% (7/54) in 2016, respectively. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was 51.9% (41/79) in 2011, 29.7% (19/64) in 2013 and 31.7% (26/82) in 2016, respectively. The prevalence of high level gentamicin resistance (HLGR) of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis were 43.2% (48/111) and 40.9% (27/66), respectively. The predominant organism of carbapenem-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae was K. pneumoniae with its proportion of 57.1% (24/42). Among 30 tigecycline-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae, K. pneumoniae was the most popular organism with 76.7% (23/30). Among 39 colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, E. coli, Enterobacter cloacae and K. pneumoniae were constituted with the percent of 43.6 (17/39), 35.9 (14/39) and 15.4 (6/39), respectively. The Gram-negative bacilli (E. coli and K. pneumoniae were the major organisms) were the major pathogens of nosocomial bacteremia, to which tigecycline, colistin and carbapenems kept with highly in vitro susceptibility. Whereas, among the Gram-positive cocci, S. aureus was the top 1 isolated organism, followed by E. faecium, to which tigecycline, daptomycin, linezolid, vancomycin and teicoplanin kept with highly in vitro susceptibility. Isolation of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, tigecycline-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae, linezolid- or vancomycin-non-susceptible Gram-positive cocci suggests more attention should be paid to these resistant organisms and dynamic surveillance was essential.
