Objective To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of tRF-1:30-Gln-CTG-4(tRF-1:30)on the expression of inflammatory factors in high glucose(HG)-induced renal tubular epithelial cells(RTECs).Methods RTECs were divided into the control group,the HG group,the HG+tRF-1:30 mimic group,the HG+tRF-1:30 negative control(NC)group,the HG+si-IKZF2 group and the HG+si-NC group.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used to detect the expression levels of tRF-1:30,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)and IKAROS family zinc finger protein 2(IKZF2).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and MCP-1.Protein expression of IKZF2 was detected by Western blot assay.Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between tRF-1:30 and IKZF2.Results The expression levels of inflammatory factors were elevated in HG-induced RTECs,and the expression level of tRF-1:30 was decreased(P<0.05).Overexpression of tRF-1:30 significantly decreased expression levels of inflammatory factors in HG-induced RTECs(P<0.05),and the expression level of IKZF2 was significantly increased(P<0.05).Further knockdown of IKZF2 can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors,and the expression level of IKZF2 was down-regulated after overexpression of tRF-1:30.Double luciferase reporting experiment further verified the possible targeting relationship between tRF-1:30 and IKZF2.Conclusion Overexpression of tRF-1:30 inhibits the expression of inflammatory factors in HG-induced RTECs by target binding and negatively regulating the expression of IKZF2.

【Objective】 To explore the composition of culturable bacteria in platelets through bacterial culturomics and verify the results of culturomics and metagenomics to improve the detection rate of bacteria in platelets. 【Methods】 Platelet samples from 6 healthy people were collected. Eight kinds of culture media were placed in aerobic conditions and 12 kinds of culture media were placed in anaerobic conditions for large-scale culture and isolation of bacteria in platelets. The isolated single colony was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The bacterial abundance of healthy human platelet microbiome was analyzed by metagenomic sequencing, and the cultivable bacterial species in platelets was confirmed based on metagenomic and culturomics results. 【Results】 A total of 90 strains of bacteria belonging to 3 phylums, 5 classes, 5 orders, 7 families, 9 genus and 23 species were isolated from 6 platelet samples by culturomics. Among them, the strains with more monoclonal clones at the species level were Brevundimonas aurantiaca (16.7%), Bacillus sp. Y1 (15.6%), Cutibacterium acnes (14.4%) and Brevibacillus brevis (13.3%). The platelet samples sequenced by mNGS showed that the abundance values of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria were high. The bacteria detected by both culturomics and metagenomic sequencing methods were as follows: Firmicutes: Bacillus sp. Y1, B. thuringiensis, B. cereus, B. mobilis, B. velezensis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Brevibacillus brevis; Actinobacteria: Cutibacterium acnes; Proteobacteria: Escherichia coli and Delftia tsuruhatensis. 【Conclusion】 The mutual validation of culturomics and metagenomics has identified some bacteria, proving that bacteria exist in platelets.

Objective:To investigate the performance of a predictive model based on fat suppression (FS)-T2WI sequence combined with machine learning in the differential diagnosis of brucellar spondylitis (BS) and tuberculous spondylitis (TS).Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 74 patients with BS and 81 patients with TS diagnosed clinically or pathologically in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2017 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and all patients underwent spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination before treatment. Patients were randomly divided into a training group ( n = 123) and a testing group ( n = 32) in an 8 ∶ 2 allocation ratio, and radiomics feature extraction and dimensionality reduction analysis were performed on FS-T2WI sequence images. Four machine learning algorithms, including K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF) and logistic regression (LR), were used to construct a radiomics model, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the differential diagnostic performance of each model for BS and TS. Results:A total of 1 409 radiomics features were extracted, and 7 related features were screened and included for identification of BS and TS, among which the Maximum2DDiameterColumn feature value showed a strong correlation, and there was a statistically significant difference between BS and TS patients ( P < 0.001). In the testing group, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) value of the SVM model for identifying BS and TS was 0.886, with a sensitivity of 0.53, a specificity of 0.88, and a diagnostic accuracy of 0.81; in the training group, the AUC value of the SVM model for identifying BS and TS was 0.811, the sensitivity was 0.68, the specificity was 0.72, and the diagnostic accuracy of the model was 0.78. Conclusion:The prediction model based on FS-T2WI sequence combined with machine learning can be used to identify BS and TS, and the diagnostic performance of SVM model is prominent and stable.

Pulmonary endothelial barrier dysfunction is a hallmark of clinical pulmonary edema and contributes to the development of acute lung injury (ALI). Here we reported that ruscogenin (RUS), an effective steroidal sapogenin of Radix Ophiopogon japonicus, attenuated lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced pulmonary endothelial barrier disruption through mediating non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC IIA)‒Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) interactions. By in vivo and in vitro experiments, we observed that RUS administration significantly ameliorated LPS-triggered pulmonary endothelial barrier dysfunction and ALI. Moreover, we identified that RUS directly targeted NMMHC IIA on its N-terminal and head domain by serial affinity chromatography, molecular docking, biolayer interferometry, and microscale thermophoresis analyses. Downregulation of endothelial NMMHC IIA expression in vivo and in vitro abolished the protective effect of RUS. It was also observed that NMMHC IIA was dissociated from TLR4 and then activating TLR4 downstream Src/vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) signaling in pulmonary vascular endothelial cells after LPS treatment, which could be restored by RUS. Collectively, these findings provide pharmacological evidence showing that RUS attenuates LPS-induced pulmonary endothelial barrier dysfunction by inhibiting TLR4/Src/VE-cadherin pathway through targeting NMMHC IIA and mediating NMMHC IIA‒TLR4 interactions.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of precision thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) in the limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) patients by network meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TRT regimes in the LS-SCLC were electronically searched from PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI and Wanfang Data from inception to September 1 st, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Statistical analysis was performed by Stata 17 and R 4.1.1 software. Results:A total of 6 RCTs involving 1730 patients with six radiation regimens including hyperfractionated radiotherapy (HFRT): HFRT 45(45 Gy/30 F) and HFRT 60(60 Gy/40 F); conventional fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT): CFRT 70(70 Gy/35 F) and CFRT 66(66 Gy/33 F); moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy (MHFRT): MHFRT 65(65 Gy/26 F) and MHFRT 42(42 Gy/15 F) were included. The network meta-analysis showed that: in terms of improving progression-free survival and overall survival, there was no statistically significant difference among the six radiotherapy regimens. The probabilistic ranking results were: MHFRT 65> HFRT 60>CFRT 66>CFRT 70>MHFRT 42>HFRT 45, and HFRT 60>MHFRT 65>CFRT 66>CFRT 70>HFRT 45>MHFRT 42, respectively. The HFRT 60 regimen was superior to other regimens in reducing the incidence of grade ≥3 pneumonia, and there was no difference between the regimens in causing grade ≥3 radiation esophagitis, and the results of ranking probability were: HFRT 60> MHFRT 42>CFRT 66>CFRT 70>HFRT 45>MHFRT 65, and HFRT 60>CFRT 70>CFRT 66>HFRT 45>MHFRT 42>MHFRT 65, respectively. Conclusions:HFRT 60 radiotherapy regimen may be more effective and safer in the treatment of LS-SCLC patients as a priority choice for LS-SCLC TRT. Limited by the number and quality of included studies, the above conclusions need to be verified by more high-quality studies.

Objectives:To explore the value of blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) MRI in evaluating the changes of placental oxygenation during maternal hyperoxia.Methods:From October 2017 to March 2020, 22 singleton pregnant women with normal placenta showed by ultrasound were prospectively included in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Pregnant women wore oxygen mask before examination, and then underwent BOLD MRI examination for 10 min. The pregnant women inhaled air in the first 3 min and continuously inhaled oxygen with purity greater than 90% in the next 7 min (flow rate 12 L/min). The average value of BOLD signal of the whole placenta, fetal side of placenta, maternal side of placenta and maternal kidney were measured and calculated in the first 3 min as before oxygen and the last 3 min of the end of oxygen inhalation as after oxygen. The ΔBOLD was calculated which was the change value of BOLD signal before and after oxygen inhalation. The BOLD values of placenta and maternal kidney before and after oxygen inhalation were compared by using paired t-test. The ΔBOLD of the whole placenta, the fetal side of the placenta and the maternal side of the placenta were compared by using one-way ANOVA, and the LSD method was used for pairwise comparison between groups. Results:There were significant differences in BOLD values of the whole placenta, fetal side of placenta and maternal side of placenta before and after oxygen inhalation ( t=-4.62, P<0.001; t=-4.73, P<0.001; t=-3.57, P=0.002). There was no significant difference in BOLD value of maternal kidney before and after oxygen inhalation ( t=0.35, P=0.740). The ΔBOLD values of the whole placenta, fetal side of placenta and maternal side of placenta were (12.8±2.2)%, (15.1±2.7)% and (6.4±1.3)% respectively. The overall difference was statistically significant ( F=4.49, P=0.015). The results of pairwise comparison showed that there was no significant difference in ΔBOLD between the whole placenta and the fetal side of the placenta ( P=0.450). There were significant differences in ΔBOLD between whole placenta and maternal side of placenta ( P=0.037) and between fetal side and maternal side of placenta ( P=0.005). Conclusion:Under the condition of maternal hyperoxia, the BOLD signal of placenta increased significantly, and the change of fetal side of placenta was more obvious than that of maternal side. BOLD-MRI has the potential of semi-quantitative and real-time evaluation of placental oxygenation.

【Objective】 To investigate the expression level of B7-H6 in peripheral blood and bone marrow of patient with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and to analyze its association with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. 【Methods】 A total of 120 CML patients from January 2010 to May 2013 were selected as study subjects. The expression of B7-H6 mRNA in CML peripheral blood and bone marrow pre- and 3-, 6-, 12-month-posttreatment was detected by quantitative real time PCR, and its correlation between prognosis and clinicopathological factors was analyzed. 【Results】 The expression level of B7-H6 mRNA in the PB, BMMCs of CML patients was lower than that of the normal population (P<0.05). B7-H6 mRNA in PB at 3-, 6-, 12-month-posttreatment increased as compared with that of pre-treatment (P < 0.05). As treatment time prolonged, the expression level of B7-H6 mRNA increased gradually (P < 0.05). B7-H6 levels in BM samples from CML with BCR-ABL1/ABL≤0.1%, CCR were significantly higher than that in patients with BCR-ABL1/ABL>0.1%(P<0.0001) or without CCR (P<0.001). The expression level of B7-H6 in BMMCs was negatively correlated with the BCR-ABL1/ABL level (r=–0.260, P<0.05). Signifiant difference in PFS was observed between patients with high expression level of B7-H6 (not reached, HR: 0.06, 95% CI =0.03-0.37) and low expression level (81 months, HR: 15.58, 95% CI =2.68-30.23) in BM (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The low expression of the B7-H6 gene in CML is correlated with BCR-ABL1 copy number and responsiveness to treatment, and monitoring of B7-H6 expression may be used to evaluate CML prognosis, progression and treatment efficacy.
