Objective:To discuss the damage effect of vesicular stomatitis virus(VSV)on the vascular endothelial(VE)barrier,and to clarify its mechanism.Methods:The canine kidney cells were used to amplify VSV.The half tissue culture infective dose(TCID50)of VSV was determined using mouse brain endothelial tumor bEnd.3 cells,and subsequent experiment was conducted using 300 times the TCID50.The bEnd.3 cells were divided into infection 0 h group,infection 4 h group,infection 8 h group,and infection 12 h group for VE barrier damage experiments due to VSV infection.The bEnd.3 cells were also divided into control group,infection group,and correction group for experiments to inhibit the VSV replication and restore the VE barrier.The bEnd.3 cells were inoculated into Transwell chambers to construct an in vitro VE barrier model.Cell voltage resistance meter was used to detect the transepithelial resistance(TER)in various groups after the bEnd.3 cells were infected with VSV at different time points;fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran leakage assay was used to detect the permeability coefficients of the cells in various groups;immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the localization changes of VE-cadherin,β-catenin,and phosphorylated β-catenin(p-β-catenin)in cytoskeleton and adherens junctions(AJs)of the bEnd.3 cells after VSV infection;real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the expression levels of Wnt and β-catenin mRNA in the cells in various groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of Wnt,β-catenin,and p-β-catenin proteins in the cells in various groups.Results:The TCID50 of VSV was 10-4.5·100 μL-1.TheTranswell chamber experiment results showed that compared with infection 0 h group,the TERs in the cells in the other groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the permeability coefficients were significantly increased(P＜0.05).The immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with control group,the cytoskeleton of the bEnd.3 cells in infection group was disordered,the cell gaps was increased,the linear index of AJs was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and β-catenin and p-β-catenin translocated from the cell membrane to the perinuclear area.The RT-qPCR results showed that compared with infection 0 h group,the expression levels of Wnt mRNA in the cells in the other groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while the expression levels of β-catenin mRNA showed no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).The Western blotting results showed that compared with infection 0 h group,the expression levels of Wnt protein in the cells in the other groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),the expression levels of β-catenin showed no statistically significant differences(P＞0.05),and the expression levels of p-β-catenin were significantly increased(P＜0.05).After inhibiting the VSV replication and correcting the low density lipoprotein receptor(LDLR)abnormalities,the Transwell chamber experiment results showed that compared with infection group,the TER in the cells in correction group was significantly increased(P＜0.05),and the permeability coefficient was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with infection group,the gaps in the cells in correction group were reduced,and the perinuclear aggregation of β-catenin and p-β-catenin in the cells was restrained.The RT-qPCR results showed that compared with infection group,the expression level of Wnt mRNA in the cells in correction group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).The Western blotting results showed that compared with infection group,the expression level of Wnt protein in the cells in correction group was significantly increased(P＜0.05),the expression level of β-catenin showed no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05),and the expression level of p-P-catenin was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:VSV infection can cause the LDLR inactivation,reduce the expression level of Wnt protein,increase the phosphorylation level of β-catenin and cause its internalization,disrupt the stability of AJs,and ultimately lead to VE barrier damage.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations, imaging features and prognosis of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome with spinal cord involvement (PRES-SCI).Methods:The clinical data of 1 patient with PRES-SCI admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in November 2021 were analyzed, and the data of 38 patients with PRES-SCI reported in domestic and foreign databases and this patient were collected for pooled analysis.Results:The main clinical manifestations of 39 PRES-SCI patients (including this patient) included headache (79.5%, 31/39), visual disturbance (79.5%, 31/39), vomiting (46.2%, 18/39), disturbance of consciousness (38.5%, 15/39), limb weakness (28.2%, 11/39) and seizure (23.1%, 9/39). There were up to 97.4% (38/39) of patients who had significantly elevated blood pressure. The imaging feature was long-segment spinal cord lesion involving central gray matter. Approximately 89.7% (35/39) of the spinal cord lesions originated from the junction of the medulla oblongata and the cervical spinal cord. The median number of abnormal spinal cord segments corresponding to the vertebral body was 9 (the shortest was 4 and the longest was the entire spinal cord). Thirty-eight patients had brain lesions, and the most frequently involved sites were medulla oblongata (82.1%, 32/39), occipital lobe (46.2%, 18/39), pons (43.6%, 17/39), parietal lobe (41.0%, 16/39), and cerebellum (38.5%, 15/39). Among 38 patients completing the follow-up, 31 patients (81.6%) were clinically recovered.Conclusions:Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome could involve the spinal cord. For patients with long-segment spinal cord lesions and significantly increased blood pressure or other risk factors, PRES-SCI should be considered. Timely identification and treatment could make most patients recovery.

Objective:Utilizing multi-criterion optimization (MCO) technology to improve plan design quality based on knowledge-based planning (KBP) model.Methods:Fifty-five patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) who had completed radiotherapy were selected, and fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) technology was used in each case. Among them, 40 cases were randomly selected as training set 1. Then, IMRT plans in training set 1 were preprocessed by MCO technology to construct a new training set 2. With the initial training set 1 and the processed training set 2 as training samples, the traditional KBP model and the MCO-KBP model refined by MCO technology were trained, respectively. Among the remaining 15 cases, 5 cases were randomly selected as the validation set, and the remaining 10 cases were used as the test set. After verification, the test set was used to statistically analyze the plan quality of the initial manual plan and the automatic plan generated by the traditional KBP model and the MCO-KBP model.Results:The target dose (D 95%) of plans generated by the traditional KBP model and the MCO-KBP model met the clinical requirements. Conformity index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI) were almost the same ( P>0.05), and the doses of organ at risk (OAR) of the automatic plans generated by the MCO-KBP model were lower than those of the traditional KBP model. For example, compared with the traditional KBP model, the average D max of the brainstem in the automatic plans generated by the MCO-KBP model was lower by 2.13 Gy, the average D mean of the left parotid gland was lower by 1.39 Gy, the average D mean of the right parotid gland was lower by 1.59 Gy, and the average D max of the left optic nerve was lower by 1.42 Gy, the average D max of the right optic nerve was lower by 1.16 Gy, and the average D max of the pituitary gland was lower by 1.88 Gy. All of the above-mentioned dosimetry indexes were statistically significant. Conclusion:Compared with the traditional KBP model, the IMRT plans designed by the refined MCO-KBP model have obvious advantages in the protection of OAR, which proves the feasibility of utilizing MCO technology to improve the plan design quality of the KBP model.

Objective:To analyze the significance of HBV DNA below the lower detection limit of HBV RNA levels after long-term nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) antiviral therapy in patients with hepatitis B virus cirrhosis.Methods:97 cases with hepatitis B virus cirrhosis treated with NAs antiviral therapy for at least 3 years between May 2018 to July 2019 were selected. High-sensitivity HBV DNA (<20 IU/ml), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT), HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV RNA at least twice every 6 months were detected. According to Child-Pugh classification, HBeAg, HBsAg level, and HBV RNA level intergroup comparison was performed. Rank sum test, χ2 test and linear regression analysis were performed on the data. Results:Compared with the HBV RNA level of child-Pugh class A patients, the HBV RNA level of Child-Pugh class B+C patients were significantly higher [4.1 (0,4.9) log 10 copies/ml and 2.0 (0,3.5) log 10 copies/ml], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=2.370, P<0.05). According to different HBeAg levels, they were divided into HBeAg positive and negative group, and the quantitative comparison of HBV RNA levels between the two groups were 2.0 (0, 4.5) log 10 copies/ml and 1.0 (1.0, 2.0) log 10 copies/ml, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=3.233, P<0.05). According to different HBsAg levels, they were divided into three groups: HBsAg≤100 IU/ml, 100

Objective To investigate HBV RNA level in patients with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma after long-term antiviral therapy and its clinical significance. Methods A total of 60 patients with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma who were admitted to Tianjin Second People's Hospital from June 2019 to August 2020 were enrolled in this study. These patients received antiviral therapy with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) for at least two years, and high-sensitivity HBV DNA detection showed a HBV RNA level of < 20 IU/mL at least twice at an interval of 3 months. Liver function, HBV serum markers, and HBV RNA level were measured for all patients. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison between two groups; a Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for HBV RNA. Results Among the 60 patients with HBV-related hepatocellualr carcinoma who received long-term antiviral treatment, 9 (15%) tested positive for HBV RNA. According to the level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), the patients were divided into AFP positive group and AFP negative group, and there was no significant difference in HBV RNA level between the two groups [0(0-3.57) vs 0(0-2.00), Z =-1.474, P =0.141). According to Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage, they were divided into BCLC stage A group and BCLC stage B+C+D group, and there was no significant difference in HBV RNA level between the two groups [0(0-2.0) vs 0(0-2.0), Z =-0.607, P =0.544]. According to HBeAg level, the patients were divided into HBeAg positive group and HBeAg negative group, and there was a significant difference in HBV RNA level between the two groups [2.99(0-4.80) vs 0(0-0.50), Z =-3.400, P =0.001]. According to the titer of HBsAg, they were divided into HBsAg≤100 IU/mL group, 100 IU/mL < HBsAg < 1500 IU/mL group, and HBsAg ≥1500 IU/mL group, and there was a significant difference in HBV RNA level between the three groups [0(0-0.0) vs 0(0-0.20) vs 2.00(0.0-4.54), H =-7.899, P =0.019]. A Pearson correlation analysis was performed for age, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, alpha-fetoprotein, HBsAg, and HBeAg, and the results showed that HBsAg level was correlated with HBV RNA quantification ( r =0.292, P < 0.05). Conclusion In patients with HBV-related hepatocellualr carcinoma receiving long-term antiviral therapy with NAs, HBV RNA can still be detected after HBV DNA is lower than the lower limit of detection. HBsAg titer may be correlated with serum HBV RNA level.

Microplastics refer to plastic fibers, particles, or films with a particle size less than 5 mm, and microplastics pollution has become one of the major global environmental problems. Microplastics can be exposed to the human body through ingestion, inhalation and skin contact, affecting maternal and fetal health through mechanisms such as cytotoxicity and signal transduction, energy homeostasis and metabolic disorders, immune dysfunction, and as carriers of microorganisms or toxic chemicals. The purpose of this paper is to review the physical and chemical properties of microplastics, human exposure pathways, maternal-fetal effects, and its mechanisms.

Objective? To explore the status quo of plaque removal in adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontics in a ClassⅢ stomatology hospital in Shanghai, and to provide a reference for formulating precise oral health education measures and improving patients' health self-management ability. Methods? Totally 220 patients undergoing fixed orthodontics in a ClassⅢ stomatology hospital in Shanghai between September and November 2018 were selected by convenient sampling. The plaque disclosing agent was used to stain the plaque. A 5-degree method was used to collect and record the patients' orthodontic plaque index which was calculated according to the plaque area on the dental face. Statistical analysis was employed to analyze the differences in the plaque index between different locations, quadrants, tooth positions, teeth in different shapes and different areas on the dental or lip face in patients with different characteristics. Results? The orthodontic plaque index of the 220 patients undergoing fixed orthodontics was (1.58±0.66), ranging 0.31-3.33. There were statistically significant difference in the plaque index between different locations, quadrants, tooth positions, teeth in differents shapes and different areas on the dental or lip face (F=99.432, 6.552, 3.862, 25.887; P＜0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the plaque index between patients with different gender, age or time of orthodontics (F/t=5.681, 3.159, 2.947; P＜0.05). Compared with the teeth in the other 3 shapes, grinded teeth showed the highest plaque index. The plaque removal effect of mandibular teeth was better than that of maxillary teeth. The plaque removal of lateral incisors and areas under the arch wire on both right and left orthodontic brackets as well as the mesial and distal areas of the gingiva was not satisfactory. Conclusions? The plaque removal in adolescent patients undergoing fixed orthodontics is not satisfactory. Targeted health education should be provided based on the collected orthodontic plaque index.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the complex clinical syndrome attributed to multiple causes and risk factors, which is characterized by an abrupt loss of renal function. Metabonomics, recently advances in the field of omics, is the nontargeted measurement of all of the low-molecularweight compounds that appear in a particular cell, tissue, organ or biofluid in a living organism. Compared to genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics,metabonomics has its unique advantages, including fewer metabolites than genes, transcripts and proteins, the most accurate predictors of the signature of the actual processes, easy access to biofluids. Thus, metabonomics makes it possible to find new biomarkers for AKI on early diagnosis, identifying new metabolic pathways, finding new targets for drug therapy and individual medical treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of early non-liquid diet for patients with mild acute pancreatitis by using Meta-analysis. Methods The randomized controlled trials(RCT) on early non-liquid diet intake for patients with mild acute pancreatitis were collected by computer searching the database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Periodical Database,CBM,Elsevier Scien Direct, cochrane library and PubMed from inception to February 2017, and analyzed by RevMan 5.2 software. Results Five RCTs were included in the study.The Results of Meta-analysis revealed that both the length of hospitalization after eating [MD=-1.48,95%CI-2.50~-0.47, P=0.004] and the total length of hospitalization[MD=-1.99,95%CI-(0.99-2.99),P=0.0001]in liquid diet group were less than that of non-liquid diet group,and the differences were statistically significant.There was no significant difference in the rate of the pain recurrence[RR=1.21,95%CI 0.77-1.91,P=0.40]and the rate of the elimination of oral feeding[RR=1.02,95%CI 0.45-2.30,P=0.96]because of pain,nausea or vomiting after refeeding,although all that rate in non-liquid diet was not lower than that of liquid diet group. Conclusions compared with liquid diet,early non-liquid diet intake for mild acute pancreatitis can shorten their hospitalization time, and it cannot be concluded that the non-liquid diet will increase the pain recurrence rate, and most patients have a better tolerance to non-liquid diet,and non-liquid diet can promote rehabilitation.
