Objective To explore the dynamic changes and mechanisms of neurological and cognitive functions in mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Totally 60 12⁃month⁃old Balb/ c mice were divided into control group (10 in group) and TBI group (50 in group). TBT model mice were divided into 5 subgroups according to the time of model construction, including model 1 day, model 1 day, model 3 day, model 7 day, model 14 days and model 28 days group with 10 in each group. At the 29th day of the experiment, neurological scores and step down tests were carried out. After the test, the mice were sacrificed for brains which were detected by immunohistochemistry staining, inflammatory cytokine tests and Western blotting. Results Compared with the control group, the neurological scores of mice in TBI group increased, and then decreased after the 7th day when the scores reached the peak. However, the latency of step down errors was lower than control group, and the number of step down errors was higher than control group which had no changes. Compared with the control group, the expression of lonized calcium⁃binding adapter molecule 1(IBA1), chemokine C⁃X3⁃C⁃motif ligand1 (CX3CL1), C⁃X3⁃C chemokine receptor 1(CX3CR1), NOD⁃like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), and phosphorylation nuclear factor(p⁃NF)⁃κB in TBI group increased and reached to the peak at the 7th day, and then started to decrease. At the same time, the levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin⁃6(IL⁃6) and tumor necrosis factor⁃α(TNF⁃α) first increased to the peak, and then began to decrease. However, compared with the control group, the expression of amyloid β(Aβ) protein and p⁃Tau protein in the model group continued to increase at all time. Conclusion The TBI model caused continuous activation of microglia along with inflammatory response, which first increased and then decreased, resultsing in neurological scores changes. In addition, the inflammatory response may act as a promoter of Aβ protein deposition and Tau protein phosphorylation, leading to cognitive impairment in mice.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and radiographic effectiveness of a calcium silicate-based bioactive ceramic iRoot BP Plus? pulpotomy of immature permanent teeth with complicated crown fracture and to evaluate the factors influencing its long-term success rate.Methods:The digital medical records of patients under 13 years old who had undergone iRoot BP Plus? pulpotomy in the Department of Oral Emergency or the First Clinical Division,Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from March 2017 to September 2022 due to complicated crown fracture of anterior teeth,and had taken at least one post-operation apical radiograph were reviewed.The clinical and radiographic information at the initial examination and follow-up period were obtained,including crown color,mobility,percussion,cold test(partial pulpotomy teeth),dental restoration,fistula,swelling or inflammation of the gingival tissue,the formation of apical foramen,pathologic radiolucency and calcification of pulp chamber or root canal obliteration.Data were tested by Fisher exact test and a multiple comparison.Results:In the study,64 patients including 37 males(57.8％)and 27 females(42.2％)with a mean age of 9.1 years were finally enrolled.The total number of permanent teeth that received pulpotomy was 75,and the average follow-up time was 19.3 months.The success rate was 93.1％with the time interval between dental injury and treatment in 24 h,while the success rate dropped to 88.2％with the time intervals beyond 24 h.The time intervals did not significantly affect the pulp survival rate(P=0.61)after pulpotomy(partial or co-ronal).The success rate 6 months after pulpotomy was 96.0％,and one-year success rate was 94.7％.A total of 23 cases were reviewed for more than 2 years after pulpotomy,and 6 cases failed.The mobility had no significant effect on the success rate(P=0.28).Pulp chamber calcification and pulp canal obli-teration were not observed in all the post-operative radiographs.Conclusion:The one year clinical and radiographic success rates obtained in this study indicate that iRoot BP Plus? is an appropriate pulp cap-ping material option for pulpotomy treatment of complicated crown fracture in immature permanent teeth without displacement injuries.This technique has broad promotional value.

Objective To detect the changes of mitophagy level in rats with endplate cartilage degeneration induced by spinal instability,and explore the role of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in endplate cartilage and intervertebral disc degeneration.Methods The rat spinal instability model was established by surgically removing the superspinal and interspinal ligaments of L2 to L5,and cleaning the bilateral articular processes of the L2 to L5.Eighteen SD rats were divided into the normal group,the degenerative group,and the carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone(CCCP)group,with 6 rats in each group.The rats in the normal group had no special treatment,the rats in the degenerative group constructed a rat spinal instability model,and the rats in the CCCP group were injected with 5 μL of CCCP(10 μmol/L)in the intervertebral disc after the construction of spinal instability model.The changes of histomorphology in the endplate cartilage and intervertebral disc were abserved by HE staining,and the change of extracellular matrix of endplate cartilage was observed by safranin O-fast green staining.RT-PCR detected the mRNA expression of type Ⅱ collagen(COL-2A),aggrecan(ACAN),PINK1 and Parkin in each group.The changes of the protein expression levels of COL-2A,ACAN,PINK1,Parkin and mitochondrial membrane proteins of Tomm20 and Timm23 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus of rats in the degenerative group was significantly destroyed and the secretion of extracellular matrix of endplate chondrocytes decreased;while the structure of intervertebral discs for rats in the CCCP group was more intact,and the secretion of extracellular matrix of endplate chondrocytes was significantly increased compared with that in the degenerative group.Compared with the normal group,the expression of COL-2A and ACAN in endplate cartilage tissues of rats in the degenerative group were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05),the expression of mitochon-drial autophagy-related genes of PINK1 and Parkin were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the expression of mitochondrial membrane proteins of Tomm20 and Timm23 were increased(P<0.05).Compared with the degenerative group,the expression of COL-2A,ACAN,PINKI and Parkin in the endplate cartilage tissue of rats in the CCCP group were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05),and the protein levels of Tomm20 and Timm23 were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05).Conclusion Rat spinal instability leads to a decrease level of mitophagy mediated by PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway in endplate cartilage,thereby inducing endplate cartilage and intervertebral disc degeneration,and the activation of mitophagy can significantly reduce endplate cartilage and intervertebral disc degeneration.

Objective The results of ASTRUM-007 reveal the clinical benefits of PD-L1-positive esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)patients.This study aims to analyze the economics of first-line treatment of PD-L1-positive ESCC with brucella combined with chemotherapy from the perspective of China's health system.Methods A three-state partitioned survival model(PSM)including progression-free survival(PFS),disease progression(PD),and death(D)was established to evaluate the economy of serplulimab combined with chemotherapy,the first-line treatment for PD-L1 positive advanced ESCC,compared with the placebo combination chemotherapy.The cycle period was two weeks,the horizon of the simulation was a lifetime,and the annual discount rate was set to 5%.The main outcome parameters are total cost,quality-adjusted life year(QALY),and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER).One-way sensitivity analysis(OWSA),probability sensitivity analysis(PSA),and scenario analysis were used to evaluate the impact of the change of important parameters in the model on ICER.Results The basic results showed that the incremental effect and incremental cost of the serplulimab combined with chemotherapy compared with the placebo combination chemotherapy were 1.281 QALYs and 266 573.26 yuan,respectively,and the ICER was 208 166.24 yuan/QALY.OWSA showed that the price of serplulimab was the most sensitive parameter to ICER;PSA showed that when the WTP threshold was three times China's per capita GDP in 2022,Serplulimab combined with chemotherapy was significantly more economical than the placebo combination chemotherapy;scenario analysis revealed that according to the ASTRUM-007 study in the Central Asian group and the charitable drug donation program of serplulimab:in patients with PD-L1 1≤CPS<10,ICER was 205 056.83 yuan/QALY;with 218 022.59/QALY in patients with PD-L1 CPS≥10,and the mean value of ICER was lower than three times of China's per capita GDP.The ICER of all patients was 59 046.65 yuan/QALY,with 68 294.42 yuan/QALY of patients with PD-L1 1≤CPS<10,44 744.02 yuan/QALY of patients with PD-L1 CPS≥10.The ICER value was lower than China's per capita GDP.Conclusion Serplulimab combined with chemotherapy is more economical than placebo combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of PD-L1-positive ESCC patients.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of the treatment of Neer Ⅱ b distal clavicular fracture with locking plate under arthroscopy.Methods Between June 2018 and September 2022,the medical records of 15 patients with Neer Ⅱ b distal clavicular fracture treated with locking plate under arthroscope were retrospectively analyzed,including 9 males and 6 females,aged from 25 to 57 years old with an average of(42.50±7.75)years old,5 left shoulder,10 right shoul-der,and duration of the disease ranged from 4 to 7 days with an average of(5.16±0.98)d.Visual analog score(VAS),Con-stant-Murley shoulder joint score scale and Neer standard score were used before operation,1 month after operation and the last follow-up.Results All patients successfully completed the treatment of Neer Ⅱ b distal clavicular fracture with locking plate under arthroscopy,with the operation time ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 h with an average of(0.55±0.24)h.All patients were healed at stage Ⅰ.The follow-up time ranged from 6 to 15 months with an average of(9.2±2.8)months.The preoperative VAS score was 7.23±0.67,the Constant-Murley shoulder joint score was(19.57±0.91),and the Neer standard score was(11.27±1.12);The VAS score was(1.56±0.81),the Constant-Murley shoulder joint score was(52.62±1.54),and the Neer standard score was(61.98±2.99)in the first month after operation;At the last follow-up,the VAS was(0.42±0.54),the Constant-Murley shoulder joint score was(91.24±1.97),and the Neer standard score was(93.24±3.38).The difference between VAS,Con-stant-Murley shoulder joint score and Neer standard score was statistically significant at one month postoperative and preoper-ative(P＜0.05),and the difference between the last follow-up visit and one month postoperative was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The treatment of Neer Ⅱ b distal clavicular fracture with locking plate under arthroscope can restore the function of shoulder joint,with definite curative effect and feasibility.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia(T-ALL)in children and explore the prognostic risk factors.Methods:The clinical data of 127 newly diagnosed children with T-ALL admitted to five hospitals in Fujian province from April 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed,and compared with children with newly diagnosed acute precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL)in the same period.Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival(OS)and event-free survival(EFS),and COX proportional hazard regression model was used to evaluate the prognostic factors.Among 116 children with T-ALL who received standard treatment,78 cases received the Chinese Childhood Leukemia Collaborative Group(CCLG)-ALL 2008 protocol(CCLG-ALL 2008 group),and 38 cases received the China Childhood Cancer Collaborative Group(CCCG)-ALL 2015 protocol(CCCG-ALL 2015 group).The efficacy and serious adverse event(SAE)incidence of the two groups were compared.Results:Proportion of male,age ≥ 10 years old,white blood cell count(WBC)≥ 50 × 109/L,central nervous system leukemia,minimal residual disease(MRD)≥ 1％during induction therapy,and MRD ≥ 0.01％at the end of induction in T-ALL children were significantly higher than those in B-ALL children(P＜0.05).The expected 10-year EFS and OS of T-ALL were 59.7％and 66.0％,respectively,which were significantly lower than those of B-ALL(P＜0.001).COX analysis showed that WBC ≥ 100 x 109/L at initial diagnosis and failure to achieve complete remission(CR)after induction were independent risk factors for poor prognosis.Compared with CCLG-ALL 2008 group,CCCG-ALL 2015 group had lower incidence of infection-related SAE(15.8％vs 34.6％,P=0.042),but higher EFS and OS(73.9％vs 57.2％,PEFS=0.090;86.5％vs 62.3％,PoS=0.023).Conclusions:The prognosis of children with T-ALL is worse than children with B-ALL.WBC ≥ 100 × 109/L at initial diagnosis and non-CR after induction(especially mediastinal mass has not disappeared)are the risk factors for poor prognosis.CCCG-ALL 2015 regimen may reduce infection-related SAE and improve efficacy.

Objective:To study the reversal effect of NVP-BEZ235 on doxorubicin resistance in Burkitt lymphoma RAJI cell line.Methods:The doxorubicin-resistant cell line was induced by treating RAJI cells with a concentration gradient of doxorubicin.The levels of Pgp,p-AKT,and p-mTOR in cells were detected by Western blot.Cell viability was detected by MTT assay.IC50 was computed by SPSS.Results:The doxorubicin-resistant Burkitt lymphoma cell line,RAJI/DOX,was established successfully.The expression of Pgp and the phosphorylation levels of AKT and mTOR in RAJI/DOX cell line were both higher than those in RAJI cell line.NVP-BEZ235 downregulated the phosphorylation levels of AKT and mTOR in RAJI/DOX cell line.NVP-BEZ235 inhibited the proliferation of RAJI/DOX cell line,and the effect was obvious when it was cooperated with doxorubicin.Conclusion:The constitutive activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway of RAJI/DOX cell line was more serious than RAJI cell line.NVP-BEZ235 reversed doxorubicin resistance of RAJI/DOX cell line by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway.

Objective:To investigate the expression level of small nucleolar RNA(snoRNA)SNORA63 in bone marrow of patients with acute leukemia(AL)and its significance in the clinical diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of AL patients.Methods:Bone marrow samples of 53 newly diagnosed AL patients and 29 healthy subjects in the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from March 2018 to December 2021 were collected.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the relative expression level of SNORA63 in bone marrow mononuclear cells of the two groups.The median expression level of SNORA63 in AL patients was used as the boundary value to divide the patients into SNORA63 high and low expression groups,and the relationship between the expression level of SNORA63 and the clinical characteristics,clinical indicators and prognosis of AL patients was analyzed and discussed.Results:The relative expression level of SNORA63 in AL patients was significantly lower than that in healthy control group[0.3018(0.0244-1.2792)vs 1.0882(0.2797-1.9889)](P＜0.01).The expression level of SNORA63 in AL patients without remission after initial treatment was significantly lower than that in healthy controls and the patients who received complete remission(CR)(P＜0.01),while there was no statistical difference in the expression level of SNORA63 between AML and ALL groups(P＞0.05).The abnormal low expression of SNORA63 was closely related to fever,hemorrage,poor prognosis,efficacy,platelets(PLT),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),albumin(ALB),and molecular biological abnormalities of AL patients(P＜0.05),but not significantly correlated with sex,age,AL subtype,pallor,fatigue,extramedullary infiltration,white blood cell count(WBC),hemoglobin(HGB),C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),fibrinogen(FIB)or chromosome karyotype(P＞0.05).Meanwhile,overall survival(OS)and event-free survival(EFS)of AL patients in SNORA63 high-expression group were significantly higher than those in SNORA63 low-expression group(P＜0.05).Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that SNORA63,molecular biological abnormalities,fever,PLT and LDH were the factors influencing OS and EFS in AL patients(P＜0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that fever,molecular biological abnormalities and LDH were independent factors associated with OS and EFS in AL patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion:SNORA63 is significantly down-expressed in AL patients,which is a molecular marker of great clinical value for disease monitoring and prognosis evaluation in AL patients.

Objective:To analyze the related factors of treatment failure in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)in real-world.Methods:The clinical data of 1414 newly diagnosed children with ALL admitted to five hospital in Fujian province from April 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Treatment failure was defined as relapse,non-relapse death,and secondary tumor.Results:Following-up for median time 49.7 (0.1-136. 9)months,there were 269 cases (19.0％)treatment failure,including 140 cases (52.0％)relapse,and 129 cases (48.0％)non-relapse death.Cox univariate and multivariate analysis showed that white WBC≥50 ×109/L at newly diagnosis,acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL),BCR-ABL1,KMT2A-rearrangement and poor early treatment response were independent risk factor for treatment failure (all HR>1.000,P<0.05).The 5-year OS of 140 relapsed ALL patients was only 23.8％,with a significantly worse prognosis for very early relapse (relapse time within 18 months of diagnosis).Among 129 patients died from non-relapse death,71 cases (26.4％)were died from treatment-related complications,56 cases (20.8％)died from treatment abandonment,and 2 cases (0.7％)died from disease progression.Among them,treatment-related death were significantly correlated with chemotherapy intensity,while treatment abandonment were mainly related to economic factors.Conclusion:The treatment failure of children with ALL in our province is still relatively high,with relapse being the main cause of treatment failure,while treatment related death and treatment abandonment caused by economic factors are the main causes of non-relapse related death.

Objective:To explore the difference of inflammatory factor imbalance between adolescent and adult patients with depression.Methods:A total of 30 adolescent and 30 adult patients with depression, and 30 adolescent and 30 adult healthy controls were included from January 2022 to August 2023. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-17 (IL-17), transforming growth factor-beta1(TGF-β1), interleukin-10(IL-10) and Maresin-1(MaR1) level were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. 24-item Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-24) was used to assess the severity of depression in all depressed patients. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for t-test, covariance analysis, Spearman analysis and multivariate binary logistic regression, and the predictive value of selected inflammatory factors in depression was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve. Results:(1)In adolescent group, the levels of IL-6 ((64.000±38.632) pg/mL), IL-17((239.132±49.757) pg/mL), and TGF-β1((737.267±328.447)pg/mL) in patients with depression were higher than those in control group((32.396±16.330)pg/mL, (214.954±42.326)pg/mL, (454.542±297.194)pg/mL, all P<0.05), while the level of MaR1((21 381.301±3 946.011)pg/mL) was significantly lower than that in control group((30 130.138±10 278.999)pg/mL)( P<0.001). The level of IL-17 was positively correlated with the total score of HAMD-24 ( r=0.429) and the course of disease ( r=0.571), the level of IL-10 was negatively correlated with body weight factor score ( r=-0.384), and the levels of TGF-β1 was negatively correlated with anxiety/somatization factor score ( r=-0.449)(all P<0.05) in adolescent patients with depression.MaR1( B=0.000 1, OR=0.999 8, AUC=0.794, P<0.05) was an independent risk factor for adolescents depression.(2)In adult depression group, the levels of IL-6, IL-17, IL-10, TGF-β1 and MaR1 were higher than those in adult control group(all P<0.05). The level of TGF-β1 in adult depression group was negatively correlated with the total score of HAMD-24 ( r=-0.427), the score of anxiety/somatization factor ( r=-0.368), the score of blocking factor ( r=-0.405), and the score of hopelessness factor ( r=-0.398).The level of MaR1 was positively correlated with the age of onset of disease ( r=0.425)(all P<0.05) in adult patients with depression.MaR1( B=0.000 4, OR=1.000 3, AUC=0.874, P<0.001) and IL-6( B=0.040, OR=1.040 7, AUC=0.779, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for adult depression.The AUC of IL-6 combined with MaR1 was 0.938. Conclusion:There are differences in the underlying mechanism of immune imbalance between adolescent and adult patients with depression.MaR1 may be a diagnostic biomarker for depression in adolescents and adults.
