Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP) in a radiation-induced lung injury model. Methods Thirty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided by body weight into control group (no intervention) and model group (single chest X-ray irradiation with a dose of 20 Gy to build a radiation-induced lung injury model). The mice were dissected five weeks after irradiation. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of the lung tissue and the deposition of collagen fibers. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of the inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the lung tissue. qRT-PCR was used to measure the expression of CIRBP mRNA in the lung tissue. The expression of CIRBP protein in the lung tissue was determined by the immunofluorescence assay and Western blot. Results Compared with the control group, the model group showed significant pulmonary vascular congestion, significant inflammatory cell infiltration, significant thickening of some alveolar septa, significantly increased IL-6 expression [(129.41 ± 5.58) vs (187.22 ± 34.77), t = 3.179, P < 0.05], significantly increased TNF-α expression [(137.52 ± 23.53) vs (187.02 ± 19.16), t = 5.069, P < 0.05], significantly increased CIRBP mRNA expression [(1 ± 0.08) vs (1.97 ± 0.39), t = 3.45, P < 0.05], and significantly increased CIRBP protein expression [(9.32 ± 1.26) vs (14.76 ± 1.61), t = 3.751, P < 0.05], by the immunofluorescence assay; [(1.13 ± 0.17) vs (1.49 ± 0.14), t = 2.819, P < 0.05], by Western blot). Conclusion The expression of CIRBP is significantly increased in the radiation-induced lung injury model, which may be an important pro-inflammatory factor in radiation-induced lung injury.

Objective:To summarize the midterm to long-term outcomes and experiences of endovascular treatment (ET) of spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (SISMAD).Methods:The clinical data of 31 SISMAD patients from Jan 2011 to Dec 2019 treated with ET was retrospectively analyzed.Results:Successful ET was achieved in 29 patients with a technical success rate of 93.5%. A total of 36 self-expandable bare stents were planted in 28 patients and plain old balloon angioplastry (POBA) was performed in 1 patient. Abdominal pain disappeared within 24 hours in 89.3% of the patients after stenting. The rate of perioperative complication was 3.2%. There was no SMA dissection rupture bleeding, nor perioperative death occurred. The mean follow-up time was 53.5 (range, 6 to 110) months. There was no dissecting aneurysm formation, no SMA rupture and bleeding, and no stent rupture during the follow-up. The post ET 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year free from reintervention rate were 100%, 100%, and 91.7%, respectively.Conclusions:ET for SISMAD is safe and effective with satisfactory perioperative and midterm to long-term outcomes.

Objective:To evaluate the imaging features of CT scan in patients with COVID-19.Methods:Clinical data of 56 patients with COVID-19 from January 17 to 19, 2020 admitted to Wenzhou Central Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical manifestations, lung imaging characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with different severity were analyzed with SAS software.Results:Fever (92.8%, 52/56), dry cough (75.0%, 42/56) and asthenia (58.9%, 33/56) were the first symptoms in most of the patients; some patients also had shortness of breath (25.0%, 14/56) and pharyngeal pain (10.7%, 6/56). Chest high-resolution CT scan showed that in 42 moderate patients, ground glass-like high-density shadows in the lung were observed in 30 cases (71.4%) ; localized plaque consolidation shadows and bronchial inflation signs were observed in 10 cases (23.8%). In 12 severe patients, 11 had high-density patches involving multiple lung lobes (≥3). In 2 critically ill patients the patches and stripes involving the entire lung were observed; and cord-like high-density shadow, local consolidation and fibrosis were also shown.Conclusion:The multiple ground-glass changes outside the lungs are early imaging manifestations of COVID-19 patients. The increase in pulmonary lobe consolidation and fibrosis may indicate the disease progression, and the degree of lung consolidation and fibrosis is closely related to the disease severity.

Objective To investigate the effects and the mechanism of sorafenib on hepatocellular car-cinoma growth and vasculogenic mimicry (VM)in mice.Methods A subcutaneous implantation mouse model of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)HepG2 cells were established.Mice inoculated with HepG2 cells were randomly divided into the treatment group (sorafenib 30 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 )and the control group by using of paired comparison method.Growth of established tumor xenografts was monitored at least twice weekly by vernier caliper measurements.VMwas assessed by immunohistochemical assay and periodic acid schiff reaction (PAS)histochemical double-staining.The expressions of HIF-1 α,VEGFA,VEGFR-1 and MMP-2 in tumor tissues were also assessed by immunohistochemical assay,Western blotting and real-time quantitative PCR. Results The tumor volume in the sorafenib group was obviously decreased compared with the control group (809.69 mm3 ±208.71 mm3 vs 1 678.00 mm3 ±31 3.29 mm3 ),with a statistically significant difference (t =6.1 03,P =0.030).Haematoxylin and eosin (HE)staining showed that tumor tissues treated with sorafenib were characterized by obvious necrosis,but there were not the same cases in the control group.Sorafenib group significantly reduced the number of tumor functional vessel in HepG2 xenografts compared with the control group,as assessed by tumor vasculature uptake of DiOC7 (4.77 ±0.1 5 vs 8.44 ±0.68,t =9.1 92,P =0.01 3).The number of VMwas significantly decreased by sorafenib (1 .04 ±0.46 vs 2.66 ±0.42,t =4.51 0, P =0.041 ).Relative to controls,CD31 -positive vessels decreased after treatments (3.42 ±0.1 0 vs 1 .26 ± 0.1 4),with a statistically significant difference (t =21 .580,P =0.002).Compared with the control group, the protein levels of HIF-1 α(0.65 ±0.03 vs 1 .00 ±0.00),VEGFA (0.51 ±0.02 vs 1 .00 ±0.00), VEGFR-1 (0.45 ±0.04 vs 1 .00 ±0.00)and MMP-2 (0.69 ±0.02 vs 1 .00 ±0.00)were significantly decreased in the sorafenib group (t =1 9.650,P =0.003;t =40.493,P =0.000;t =23.429,P =0.002;t =26.071 ,P =0.002).Compared with the control group,the mRNA levels of HIF-1 α(0.78 ±0.05 vs 1 .00 ±0.00),VEGFA (0.52 ±0.05 vs 1 .00 ±0.00),VEGFR-1 (0.45 ±0.02 vs 1 .00 ±0.00)and MMP-2 (0.71 ±0.02 vs 1 .00 ±0.00)were also significantly decreased in sorafenib group (t =6.840,P =0.021 ;t =27.71 0,P =0.001 ;t =62.740,P =0.000;t =23.850,P =0.002).Conclusion Sorafenib can inhibit the tumor growth and VMchannels formation,which may be related with the HIF-1 αand VEGFA /VEGFR-1 signa-ling pathway.
