Objective: This study aims to explore the association between oral lichen planus (OLP) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and its anti-thyroid antibodies to provide clinical evidence for thyroid disease screening in patients with OLP. Methods: This study was approved by the institutional ethics committee. A total of 125 clinically and histopathologically confirmed patients with OLP were enrolled as the case group, and they were matched with 125 non-OLP controls based on sex and age. Demographic data (gender, age, lesion type, and disease duration) were collected from both groups. Serum levels of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) were measured to analyze their associations with sex, age, lesion type, and disease duration in patients with OLP. Result: The prevalence of HT in patients with OLP was 31.20%, significantly higher than that in the control group (9.60%) (χ2=18.504, P<0.001). The prevalence of HT in female patients with OLP (39.13%) was significantly higher than that in male patients (9.09%)（χ2=10.93，P<0.001）. The positivity rate of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) in patients with OLP (17.6%) was significantly higher than in the control group (4.0%) (χ2=10.989, P<0.001). The TPOAb positivity rate was significantly higher in female patients (22.83%) than in male patients (3.03%) (χ2=5.210, P=0.014). There was no statistically significant difference in the positivity rate of TgAb between patients with OLP (7.2%) and the control group (3.2%) (P>0.05). Patients with erosive lesions had a significantly higher TPOAb positivity rate (25.0%, 17/68) compared to those with non-erosive lesions (8.77%, 5/57), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.831, P=0.028). Logistic regression analysis revealed that female patients with OLP had an 8.935-fold higher risk of being TPOAb positive compared to males (OR=8.935, 95%CI: 1.134-70.388, P=0.038). Patients with erosive OLP lesions had a 3.199-fold higher risk of TPOAb positivity compared to those with non-erosive lesions (OR=3.199, 95%CI: 1.064-9.618, P=0.038). Conclusion The prevalence of HT is higher in patients with OLP, with higher positivity rates of anti-thyroid antibodies observed in female patients and those with erosive OLP lesions. This suggests that thyroid disease screening should be incorporated into the clinical management of patients with OLP, especially for women and patients who present with erosive lesions.

AIM: To investigate the relationship between vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) injury, organelle stress response and autophagic cell death (autophagy) and ferroptosis induced by the chemical hypoxia inducer cobalt chloride (CoCl2) through the bioinformatics analysis and in vitro cell experimentation. METHODS: The dataset GSE119226 of VSMC treated with cobalt chloride was acquired from the gene expression database (GEO). The R language was used to investigate the relationship between CoCl2 treatment and organelle stress response (Golgi stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress) and two forms of cell death (ferroptosis and autophagic cell death). With primary cultured rat VSMC (rVSMC) and CoCl2-induced anoxia model, the changes in cell viability were detected by CCK-8 method, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured using DCFH-DA method. The expression levels of HIF-1α (a key molecule in hypoxia), Golgi stress markers GM130 and p115, endoplasmic reticulum stress markers GRP78 and CHOP, autophagy markers LC3-II / LC3-I and Beclin1, and ferroptosis markers GPx4 and xCT were detected by Western blot. The effect of inducing or inhibiting organelle stress and cell death on the CoCl2-induced cell damage was also observed. RESULTS: Differentially expressed genes analysis of GSE119226 dataset showed that CoCl2 treatment of VSMCs had significant effects on organelle function and stress response, autophagy and ferroptosis-related genes, in which endoplasmic reticulum stress, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, regulation of Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport, autophagy / autophagic cell death, and ferroptosis pathways were remarkably enriched. The results of in vitro experiment showed that compared with normal rVSMC, cell viability was significantly decreased after CoCl2 treatment, as well as HIF-1α protein expression and ROS levels in rVSMCs were increased. In rVSMC treated with Co-Cl2, the expression levels of Golgi structural proteins GM130 and p115 (reflecting the occurrence of Golgi stress) were decreased, while the markers GRP78 and CHOP (reflecting the occurrence of endoplasmic reticulum stress) were increased. At the same time, CoCl2 treatment also reduced the expression of autophagy markers LC3-II/LC3-I and Beclin1 (indicating the decrease levels of autophagy), while the expression of ferroptosis markers GPx4 and xCT were decreased (indicating the occurrence of ferroptosis). Compared with CoCl2 treatment group, induced Golgi stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, or ferroptosis could further reduce cell viability, while inhibition of these processes could improve cell viability. On the other hand, increasing the level of autophagy can improve the cell viability. CONCLUSION: Hypoxia induced by cobalt chloride can lead to VSMC injury. Golgi stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, ferroptosis, and the reduction of autophagy level play an important role in it. Inhibition of organelle stress response and ferroptosis, or increase of autophagy level can improve VSMC injury caused by cobalt chloride.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of hyodeoxycholic acid （HDCA） in the progression of metabolic associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD）， and to provide a new theoretical basis for further clarifying the pathogenesis of MAFLD. MethodsL02 hepatocytes were used as experimental cells， and palmitic acid was used to induce steatosis in L02 cells. The farnesoid X receptor （FXR） siRNA interference chain technique was used to construct a hepatocyte cell line with low FXR expression. CCK8 assay was used to observe the effect of HDCA on L02 steatosis hepatocytes at different concentrations （0， 100， 200， 300， and 400 μmol/L） and time points （12， 24， 36， and 48 hours）. The method of qRT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of FXR， proliferating cell nuclear antigen （PCNA）， Cyclin D1， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）， and protein kinase-B （AKT）， and Western blot was used to measure the protein expression levels of FXR， Cyclin D1， PCNA， PI3K， phosphorylated PI3K （p-PI3K）， AKT， and phosphorylated （p-AKT）. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data with homogeneity of variance between multiple groups， and the Tukey HSD test was used for further comparison between two groups； the Welch analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data with heterogeneity of variance between multiple groups， and the Games-Howell test was used for further comparison between two groups. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsCCK8 assay showed a significant reduction in the viability of L02 cells and steatosis hepatocytes treated by 300 μmol/L HDCA （P<0.05）， and qRT-PCR showed a significant increase in the mRNA expression level of FXR and significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels of PCNA， Cyclin D1， PI3K， and AKT （all P<0.05）. Western blot showed a significant increase in the protein expression level of FRX （P<0.05）， and after interference of FXR expression in L02 cells， there were significant increases in the protein expression levels of PCNA， PI3K， p-PI3K， AKT， and p-AKT （all P<0.05）. ConclusionHDCA inhibits the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by upregulating FXR expression， thereby inducing a reduction in the viability of steatosis hepatocytes.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics, imaging, myopathology and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 related autoimmune myopathy.Methods:The clinical features, serum creatine kinase (CK), myositis antibodies, muscle magnetic resonance imaging, myopathology and therapy of 5 patients with COVID-19 related autoimmune myopathy diagnosed in Peking University First Hospital from December 2022 to April 2023 were collected. The effects of the therapy after a short term follow up were analyzed.Results:Among the 5 patients, there were 3 males and 2 females, with onset age of 42-86 years. All patients presented with proximal muscle weakness in the recovery term of COVID-19. Myalgia was noted in 3 cases, dysphagia in 1, skin damage in 2, interstitial lung disease in 1. The serum CK of the 5 patients was 1 663-16 000 IU/L, 1 patient had anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase autoantibodies and 1 patient had anti-signal recognition particle autoantibodies. The electromyography showed myogenic lesions in all patients. Muscle magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse muscle edema in all patients, myofascial edema in 3 and subcutaneous-tissue edema in 3. The muscle biopsies in 4 patients revealed necrotic myopathy,with high P62 expression in muscle fibers. The electromicroscopy of 2 patients revealed vacuolated mitochondria and intranuclear tubulofilamentous inclusions in muscle fibers. Four patients were treated with glucocorticoids, of whom 2 patients combined with intravenous immunoglobulin, tacrolimus or cyclophosphamide. One case had close monitoring without drug therapy. They showed significant improvement, but the CK was still abnormal in 4 patients.Conclusions:COVID-19 leads to immune mediated myopathy. The manifestation of patients is characterized by proximal predominant weakness and high creatine kinase level. Muscle magnetic resonance imaging shows diffuse muscle edema. The muscle biopsies reveal necrotic myopathy. The effectiveness of immunosuppression needs to be further studied.

Background and objective Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate and the heaviest disease burden in China.In recent years,lung cancer has shown a high incidence trend,seriously affecting the health of the population.In this paper,we analyze the characteristics of lung cancer incidence in 2019 and the trend of incidence rate from 2010-2019 in the tumor registration area of Gansu province,in order to provide a reference basis for the development of lung cancer prevention and control strategies in Gansu province.Methods By analyzing the cases of lung cancer incidence in the tumor registration area of Gansu province in 2019,we calculated the incidence rate,medium incidence rate,world in-cidence rate and other related indexes;we used Joinpoint to calculate the annual percentage change(APC)for trend analysis.Results In 2019,a total of 3757 new cases of lung cancer were reported in Gansu province,accounting for 14.96%of all new malignant tumors.The incidence rate,medium incidence rate and world incidence rate and world rate of lung cancer were 40.52/105,25.78/105,25.86/105;and the cumulative rate of 0-74 years old,and the truncation rate of 35-64 years old were 3.23%,40.03/105,respectively.The incidence of lung cancer rises with age,and is high in the age group of 40 years and above,and the incidence peaks in the male and female populations in the group of 75 years and above,and the group of 80 years and above,respectively.The crude incidence rate of lung cancer in the tumor registration area of Gansu province from 2010-2019 showed an overall increasing trend,and the rate of increase was relatively fast,with an APC 5.39%(P<0.05);Separately,accord-ing to gender,urban and rural areas,the incidence of lung cancer in all populations showed an increasing trend,and the APC of male,female,urban and rural populations were 4.98%,6.39%,6.26%,and 4.64%,respectively(all P<0.05).According to the trend analysis of lung cancer incidence rate by age group,only lung cancer incidence in the age group of 65 years and above increased at an annual average rate of 4.15%(P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence rate of lung cancer in the tumor registration area of Gansu province from 2010 to 2019 shows a rising trend year by year,and there are differences in the incidence of lung cancer in people of different genders,regions and age groups,so comprehensive prevention and control work should be carried out for the key populations of lung cancer incidence.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum Irisin,long pentraxin 3(PTX3),human metas-tasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1(MALAT1)levels and the severity of diabetic retinopathy(DR)and the value of combined diagnosis.Methods Eighty-five patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)combined with DR at Cangzhou Central Hospital from April 2022 to April 2023 were selected as the DR group,85 patients with T2DM alone were selected as the non-DR group,and 85 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group during the same period.Pa-tients in the DR group were further divided into the proliferative DR(PDR)group(38 patients)and the non-PDR group(47 patients)based on whether DR was in the proliferative phase.Clinical data of patients in the DR group were collected,including gender,diastolic pressure,age,systolic pressure,disease course,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),body mass in-dex,hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c),smoking history,triglyceride(TG),drinking history,peak systolic velocity(PSV),peak end-diastolic velocity(PEDV),resistance index(RI),fasting insulin(FINS),family history of diabetes,total cholesterol(TC),and homa-insulin resistance(HOMA-IR).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum levels of Irisin and PTX3 in each group of patients,and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the ser-um level of MALAT1.The correlations between serum levels of Irisin,PTX3 and MALAT1 and the severity of DR were ana-lyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient.The influencing factors of the DR severity were identified using the Logistic regression.The value of serum Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 levels in diagnosing DR alone was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The value of regimens containing and not containing serum Irisin,PTX3,and MAL-AT1 levels in diagnosing DR was analyzed using the ROC curve,net reclassification index(NRI),and integrated discrimina-tion improvement(IDI)index.Results The serum levels of Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 were compared among the three groups of patients,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.001).The disease course of patients in the PDR group was longer than that in the non-PDR group,the PSV,PEDV and serum Irisin level were lower than those in the non-PDR group,while the RI,FPG,HbA1c,TG,FINS,HOMA-IR,and serum PTX3 and MALAT1 levels were higher than those in the non-PDR group(all P＜0.05).The serum Irisin level in DR patients was negatively correlated with the severity of DR(r=-0.512,P＜0.001),while the PTX3 and MALAT1 levels were positively correlated with the severity of DR(r=0.497,0.573,both P＜0.05).The Logistic regression analysis showed that the disease course,FPG,HbA1c,TG,FINS,HOMA-IR,PSV,PEDV,RI,and serum levels of Irisin,PTX3 and MALAT1 were influencing factors for the DR progression(allP＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 levels in diagnosing DR was 0.743,0.811,and 0.773,respectively.Compared with conventional diagnostic protocols,the AUC of the new diagnostic protocol containing serum levels of Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 significantly increased(Z=2.708,P=0.007),and the NRI and IDI were 0.039(95％CI:0.022-0.069)and 0.026(95％CI:0.014-0.047),respectively(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum Irisin level in DR patients decreases,while the serum PTX3 and MALAT1 levels increase,which are closely related to the severity of DR.Diagnostic plans containing serum Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 indicators have high diagnostic value.

Objective:To evaluate the risk factors for the complexity and surgical prognosis in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).Methods:A historical cohort study of the CONCEPT trial, including 97 patients (97 eyes) who were diagnosed with PDR and requiring three-channel 23-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) from June 2017 to January 2018 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.All patients received preoperative intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg conbercpet.Based on the PDR complexity score, patients were divided into >3 group or ≤3 group, and the systematic risk factors were compared between the two groups.The influence of sex, age, hypertension, renal insufficiency, duration of diabetes mellitus, and hemoglobin A1c level on the PDR complexity score was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Based on age, patients were divided into <45 years group, 45-<60 years group, and ≥60 years group, and the differences in mean operative time, incidence of intraoperative hemorrhage, surgically induced lacrimation and silicone oil filling, and incidence of hemorrhage on color fundus photos and macular edema by optical coherence tomography at postoperative months 1 and 6 were analyzed among different age groups.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (No.2017-SR-283).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:The age of patients with PDR complexity score >3 was 46.5(36.0, 51.8) years, which was less than 54.0(45.5, 61.5) years for PDR complexity score ≤3, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=1.835, P=0.002).Among the factors predicting PDR complexity score >3, logistic regression analysis indicated that only age was statistically significant ( P=0.005).For each 1-year increase in age, the risk of PDR complexity score >3 would increase by 7.4%( OR: 0.929, 95% CI: 0.883-0.977).Among the systemic factors, there were significant differences in age, history of diabetes, proportion of patients with hypertension and renal insufficiency among the three age groups (all at P<0.05).Among the ocular factors, there were significant differences in the proportion of patients with history of retinal laser treatment, fibrovascular membrane and complexity score >3 among the three groups (all at P<0.05).The proportion of patients with fibrovascular membrane and complexity score >3 in the <45 years group was significantly higher than that in the 45-<60 and ≥60 years groups (all at P<0.05).There were significant differences in the proportion of patients with intraoperative bleeding and silicone oil filling in the three age groups (all at P<0.017).The proportion of intraoperative bleeding and silicone oil filling in <45 years group was significantly higher than that in 45-<60 and ≥60 years groups (all at P<0.05).The macular edema on postoperative month 1 in the <45 years old group was significantly higher than that in the 45-<60 and ≥60 years groups (both at P<0.05). Conclusions:Among systemic factors, age has a significant impact on the increased PDR complexity and contributes to the poor prognosis of patients.There is a higher percentage of intraoperative complications and early postoperative macular edema in patients in the younger age group compared to the older age group.

Objective:To analyze the results of prenatal diagnosis and outcome of pregnancy for women with a high risk for fetal aneuploidies.Methods:A total of 747 cases of prenatal diagnosis by amniocentesis due to high risks by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) were selected from January 2015 to March 2022 in the Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School. The amniotic fluid samples were subjected to chromosomal karyotyping and/or chromosomal microarray analysis. All cases were followed up by searching the birth information or telephone calls, and the results were recorded. 2 test or F test were used for comparing the difference between the groups.Results:Among the 747 pregnant women with a high risk by NIPT, 387 were true positives, and the overall positive predictive value (PPV) was 51.81%. The PPVs for trisomy 21 (T21), trisomy 18 (T18), trisomy 13 (T13) and sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCA) were 80.24% (199/248), 60% (48/80), 14% (7/50) and 38.97% (106/272), respectively. The PPV for T21 was significantly higher than T18 and T13 ( χ2= 85.216, P<0.0001). The PPV for other chromosomal aneuploidies and copy number variations (CNVs) were 11.11% (5/45) and 40.74% (22/52), respectively. The PPV for increased X chromosomes was significantly higher than X chromosome decreases (64.29% vs. 22.22%, χ2= 5.530, P<0.05). The overall PPV for elder women (≥ 35 years old) was significantly higher than younger women (69.35% vs. 42.39%, χ2= 49.440, P<0.0001). For T21 and T18, the PPV of Z ≥ 10 group was significantly higher than that for 3 ≤ Z < 5 group or 5 ≤ Z < 10 group ( P<0.05). Among 52 cases with a high risk for CNVs, the PPV for the ≤ 5 Mb group was significantly higher than the 5 Mb < CNVs < 10 Mb or > 10 Mb groups (60% vs. 30%和60% vs. 23.53%, P<0.05). Among the 387 true positive cases, 322 had opted for induced labor, 53 had delivered with no abnormal growth and development, and 12 were lost during the follow-up. Conclusion:The PPVs for common chromosomal aneuploidies are related to the age and Z value of the pregnant women, which were higher in the elder group and higher Z value group. In addition, the PPV is associated with high risk types. The PPV for T21 was higher than T18 and T13, and that for 45, X was lower than 47, XXX, 47, XYY or 47, XXY syndrome. NIPT therefore has relatively high PPVs for the identification of chromosomal CNVs.

BackgroundSleep disorder can adversely affect human physical and mental health， with important implications for socioeconomic development. And higher vocational college students are subject to various pressures and stimuli exerted by academic studies， job seeking and family socioeconomic status， which may contribute to the onset insomnia symptom or sleep disorder. ObjectiveTo discuss the sleep status and influencing factors among higher vocational college students， and to provide references for improving their sleep status. MethodsIn January and February， 2022， a stratified random sampling method was utilized to enroll 3 300 students from five higher vocational colleges in Wenjiang district of Chengdu city. All the participants were assessed using Insomnia Severity Index （ISI）， Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9） and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 （GAD-7）. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to test the correlation of ISI with PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores， and the Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors of insomnia symptom in higher vocational college students. ResultInsomnia symptom was detected in 81.90% （2 497 / 3 300） of higher vocational college students. The detection rate of insomnia symptom among vocational college students yielded statistical difference in terms of gender， family socioeconomic status， being an only child or having siblings， degree of psychological pressure exerted by academic studies or job seeking， amount of hours spent on Internet per day， frequency of physical exercise， and the presence or absence of anxiety symptom and depression symptom （χ²=21.032， 22.172， 8.983， 75.939， 36.781， 32.350， 54.512， 86.561， P<0.01 or 0.05）. Among higher vocational college students， ISI score was positively correlated with GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores （r=0.620， 0.714， P<0.01）， and GAD-7 score was positively correlated with PHQ-9 score （r=0.824， P<0.01）. Gender， family socioeconomic status， degree of psychological pressure exerted by academic studies or job seeking， amount of hours spent on Internet per day， frequency of physical exercise， and the presence or absence of anxiety symptom and depression symptom were effective factors in predicting the insomnia symptom in higher vocational college students （P<0.01 or 0.05）. ConclusionFemale gender， average and below average family socioeconomic status， moderate-to-severe degree of psychological pressure exerted by academic studies or job seeking， spending 2~5 h， 5~7 h or >7 h on Internet per day， inadequate physical exercise and presence of depressive symptom are the risk factors for insomnia symptom in higher vocational college students.［Funded by Sichuan Provincial Primary Health Development Research Center in 2022， North Sichuan Medical College （number， SWFZ22-C-89）］

A total of 286 GPRs (65.9%) thought that they were able to independently complete some procedures such as abdominal puncture, lumbar puncture, chest puncture, and bone puncture, and the proportion of GPRs who were able to complete the above procedures increased with the training time (49.3%(73/148), 70.2%(92/131), and 78.1%(121/155) in 2020, 2019, and 2018 batches, respectively, χ2=29.39, P<0.001); 372 respondents (85.7%) thought that they were able to independently receive patients with common diseases and make preliminary diagnosis and treatment, while there was no significant difference in the proportion of GPRs enrolled in 2020, 2019, and 2018 ( χ2=3.35, P=0.188); 425 GPRs (97.9%) expressed that the base arranged rotation according to the training syllabus; 390 GPRs (89.9%) thought that the proportion of knowledge and skill assessment in the final examination was appropriate. The survey showed that 70 GPRs (16.1%) thought that the number of cases and types of diseases in the teaching base fully met the requirements of the training program, 144 GPRs (33.2%) thought that mostly met the requirements, 197 GPRs (45.4%) thought that basically met the requirements, 22 GPRs (5.1%) thought that most of them did not meet the requirements, and 1 GPR (0.2%) thought that completely did not meet the requirements. Most of the respondents (368 (84.8%)) reported that they received guidance from clinical instructors for medical record writing; 174 (40.1%) and 172 (39.6%) GPRs were very satisfied or satisfied with general practice teachers and teaching base instructors; 207 GPRs (47.7%) were satisfied with accommodation (or subsidies), while 38 GPRs (8.3%) were very dissatisfied; 203 GPRs (46.8%) were satisfied with basic salary and benefit, while 35 GPRs (8.1%) were very dissatisfied. For general practice as the career, 88 GPRs (20.3%) liked it very much, 255 GPRs (58.8%) liked it, 67 GPRs (15.4%) did not like it very much, and 24 GPRs (5.5%) disliked it. For the prospects of general practice, 108 GPRs (24.9%) considered it very optimistic, 219 GPRs (50.5%) considered it relatively optimistic, 92 GPRs (21.2%) considered it not very optimistic, and 15 GPRs (3.5%) considered it very pessimistic. Regarding employment intentions, 174 GPRs (40.1%) intended to choose municipal hospitals, 170 GPRs (39.2%) to choose county level hospitals, only 9 GPRs (2.1%) to choose village clinics. Conclusions:The survey indicates that for GPRs the most dissatisfied aspects are the salary and benefit, as well as the living conditions during their training; after completing the contract, most GPRs hope to work in hospitals at county and above levels.
