Objective: To observe the effects of tendon-regulating and stretching manipulation plus JIN's three-needle therapy for the shoulder on pain and shoulder joint function in subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Methods: Eighty patients with SIS were recruited and divided into a control group and a treatment group by the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was given JIN's three-needle therapy for the shoulder, and the treatment group received additional tendon-regulating and stretching manipulation. The visual analog scale (VAS) score and constant-Murley score (CMS) were observed before and after the intervention, and the total effective rate was also observed. Results: The total effective rate was 92.5% in the treatment group versus 70.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAS score and CMS changed notably after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the improvements were markedly greater in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Tendon-regulating and stretching manipulation plus JIN's three-needle therapy for the shoulder can facilitate the relief of pain and the improvement of shoulder joint function in SIS patients.

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is a major cause of liver injury. Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-1 (NEDD4-1) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous liver diseases; however, its role in APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) is unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the role of NEDD4-1 in the pathogenesis of AILI. We found that NEDD4-1 was dramatically downregulated in response to APAP treatment in mouse livers and isolated mouse hepatocytes. Hepatocyte-specific NEDD4-1 knockout exacerbated APAP-induced mitochondrial damage and the resultant hepatocyte necrosis and liver injury, while hepatocyte-specific NEDD4-1 overexpression mitigated these pathological events both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, hepatocyte NEDD4-1 deficiency led to marked accumulation of voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) and increased VDAC1 oligomerization. Furthermore, VDAC1 knockdown alleviated AILI and weakened the exacerbation of AILI caused by hepatocyte NEDD4-1 deficiency. Mechanistically, NEDD4-1 was found to interact with the PPTY motif of VDAC1 through its WW domain and regulate K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation of VDAC1. Our present study indicates that NEDD4-1 is a suppressor of AILI and functions by regulating the degradation of VDAC1.

Objective:To explore the clinical application and long-term safety of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) in the treatment of rheumatic diseases.Methods:A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2017 and August 2018 in a random sample of eleven medical institutions of rheumatology and immunology in China. Patients who took HCQ for more than 3 months were enrolled into this study. The cumulative dose and long-term side effects of HCQ were recorded. The changes of laboratory indexes before and after treatment with HCQ were analyzed. Categorical variables were presented with counts and proportions, and evaluated by Chi-square test. Continuous parametric data were presented as Mean±standard deviation, and evaluated by Student's t test or Mann-Whitney U test. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 886 patients with rheumatic diseases were enrolled into this study, including 505 cases with systemic lupus erythematosus (57.0%), 210 cases with rheumatoid arthritis (23.7%), 80 cases with Sj?gren's syndrome (9.0%), 57 cases with undifferentiated connective tissue disease (6.4%), 12 cases of systemic vasculitis (1.4%), 10 cases of mixed connective tissue disease (1.1%), 7 cases of myositis (0.8%) and 5 cases with systemic sclerosis (0.6%). The most common long-term side effects of HCQ was skin or mucous lesions (12.4%) and vision problems (8.0%). Other adverse reactions included problems of digestive system (3.0%), nervous system (2.1%), musculoskeletal system (1.1%) and cardiovascular system (0.9%). 140 cases (15.8%) had stopped taking HCQ during the treatment. More than half of them decided to stop taking medicine by themselves. Fifty-four patients (6.1%) stopped using HCQ due to side effects while 24 of them took it again, and another 12 patients (1.4%) stopped the drug due to remission of illness. Patients were divided into three groups according to the cumulative dose of HCQ: less than 500 g, 500-1 000 g and more than 1 000 g respectively. There was significant difference in the incidence of long-term side effects among the three groups ( χ2=6.382, P=0.041). The last group (more than 1 000 g) suffered the highest incidence of long-term adverse reactions (37.1%). No severe adverse drug reactions were observed in this study. Conclusion:Hydroxychloroquine is widely used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases. The incidence of long-term side effects is 20.4%, is 6.1% lead to drug withdrawal, which are especially related to the cumulative doses. It should be adjusted properly according to the clinical application.

Objective:To explore the peripheral blood levels changes of soluble glycosylation end product receptor (sRAGE), endotoxin and Toll-like receptor (TLR) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated with peritoneal cavity infection, and clarify the relationship between indexes and pathogenetic condition.Methods:The clinical data of 105 patients with SAP in Shanghai Pudong New Area People′s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 28 cases had peritoneal cavity infection (infection group), and 77 cases had peritoneal cavity infection symptoms but undiagnosed (non-infection group). The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) at admission was recorded. When patients had the suspected symptoms and signs of peritoneal cavity infection, the serum levels of sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR4 and TLR9 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The correlation between serum levels of sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR-4, TLR-9 and APACHE Ⅱ was analyzed by Pearson analysis; the risk factors of peritoneal cavity infection in SAP patients were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the diagnostic efficacy of serum sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR-4 and TLR-9 in peritoneal cavity infection were evaluated in patients with SAP; the Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn, and the comparison used log-rank test.Results:The serum sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR-4 and TLR-9 in infection group were significantly higher than those in non-infection group: (822.16 ± 104.51) ng/L vs. (728.09 ± 96.47) ng/L, (62.59 ± 20.11) ng/L vs. (41.62 ± 13.64) ng/L, (45.17 ± 8.54) μg/L vs. (37.34 ± 6.22) μg/L, (26.35 ± 6.73) μg/L vs. (20.02 ± 5.49) μg/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Pearson correlation analysis result showed that the serum sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR-4 and TLR-9 were positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ in patients with SAP ( r = 0.632, 0.556, 0.521 and 0.631; P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that the combined organ function damage, shock, hypoxemia and serum sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR-4 and TLR-9 were independent risk factors of peritoneal cavity infection in patients with SAP ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve for the serum sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR-4 and TLR-9 combined diagnosis of peritoneal cavity infection in patients with SAP was the largest, which was 0.910 (95% CI 0.838 to 0.957, P<0.01), with a sensitivity of 82.14% and a specificity of 87.01%. According to the ROC curve cut-off value of serum sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR-4 and TLR-9 (764.58 ng/L, 58.01 ng/L, 40.24 μg/L and 22.61 μg/L), the 28 patients with SAP complicated with peritoneal cavity infection were divided into high levels patients (21, 14, 23 and 22 cases) and low levels patients (7, 14, 5 and 6 cases); Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the 28-day survival rates in patients with high levels of sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR-4 and TLR-9 were significantly lower than those in patients with low levels (61.90% vs. 71.43%, 50.00% vs. 78.57%, 60.87% vs. 80.00% and 59.09% vs. 83.33%), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The serum sRAGE, endotoxin, TLR-4 and TLR-9 have a high combined diagnostic value in SAP complicated with peritoneal cavity infection, and they are all related to the severity of the disease and have a significant impact on survival.
