Objective:To explore the therapeutic efficacy and factors influencing the sequential combination of nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) with pegylated interferon alpha (Peg-IFN-α) in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods:144 CHB cases with NAs treatment for more than 1 year, HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) quantification < 3 000 IU/ml, treated with a sequential combination of Peg-IFN-α treatment for 48 to 96 weeks, and followed up were selected from the Fifth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital between May 2018 and May 2020. Intention-to-treat analysis was used to measure the HBsAg clearance rate at 96 weeks. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compute the cumulative HBsAg clearance rate at 96 weeks. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the factors influencing HBsAg clearance at 48 weeks of sequential combination therapy. Univariate and multifactorial COX proportional hazard models were used to analyze the factors influencing HBsAg clearance following 96 weeks of prolonged PEG-IFN-α treatment. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the predictive value of factors influencing HBsAg clearance. A Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the measurement data between groups. The count data was compared using the χ2 test between groups. Results:41 (28.47%) cases achieved HBsAg clearance at 48 weeks of sequential combination therapy. The HBsAg clearance rate at 96 weeks was 40.28% (58/144) by intention-to-treat analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method computed that the cumulative HBsAg clearance rate at 96 weeks was 68.90%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HBsAg quantification at baseline ( OR = 0.090, 95% CI: 0.034-0.240, P < 0.001) and a 24-week drop in HBsAg level ( OR = 7.788, 95% CI: 3.408-17.798, P < 0.001) were independent predictors of HBsAg clearance in CHB patients treated sequentially in combination with NAs and Peg-IFN-α for 48 weeks. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the baseline HBsAg quantification [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), 0.911, 95% CI: 0.852-0.952)] and 24-week drop in HBsAg level (AUC = 0.881, 95% CI: 0.814-0.930) had equally good predictive value for 48-week HBsAg clearance, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two ( Z = 0.638, P = 0.523). The value of the combination of baseline HBsAg quantification and 24-week drop in HBsAg level (AUC = 0.981, 95% CI: 0.941-0.997) was superior to that of single baseline HBsAg quantification ( Z = 3.017, P = 0.003) and 24-week drop in HBsAg level ( Z = 3.214, P = 0.001) in predicting HBsAg clearance rate at 48 weeks. Multivariate COX proportional hazards model analysis showed that HBsAg quantification at 48 weeks ( HR = 0.364, 95% CI: 0.176-0.752, P = 0.006) was an independent predictor of HBsAg clearance with a prolonged course to 96 weeks of Peg-IFN-α treatment. Conclusion:The HBsAg clearance rate can be accurately predicted with baseline HBsAg quantification combined with a 24-week drop in HBsAg level in patients with CHB who are treated with a sequential combination of NAs and Peg-IFN-α therapy for 48 weeks. Prolonging the course of Peg-IFN-α treatment can enhance the HBsAg clearance rate's capability. An independent predictor of HBsAg clearance is HBsAg quantification at 48 weeks of sequential combination therapy with a prolonged course of 96 weeks of Peg-IFN-α treatment.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint of Zhuang medicine Jinmu granules and carry out chemometric analysis , and determine the contents of three components . METHODS High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was adopted. Using rutin as the reference ,HPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of Jinmu granules were drawn and similarity evaluation was performed by Similarity Evaluation of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2012 edition);the common peak was determined by comparing with mixed control ;SPSS 21.0 software was used for cluster analysis ,and SIMCA 14.1 software was used for principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis. The differential components affecting the quality of Jinmu granules were screened by taking the variable importance in projection (VIP)value >1 as the standard ;the HPLC method was used to determine the contents of astilbin ,polydatin and berberine hydrochloride in Jinmu granules. RESULTS There were 22 common peaks in 10 batches of Jinmu granules ,and the similarities were 0.962-0.997;five common peaks were identified ,namely gallic acid (peak 2),polydatin(peak 9),rutin(peak 11),astilbin(peak 13)and kaempferol (peak 20). The results of cluster analysis showed that 10 batches of Jinmu granules could be clustered into 3 categories:S1 and S 3-S4 were grouped into one category ;S5-S6 and S 9 were grouped into one category ;S2,S7-S8 and S 10 were grouped into one category. The results of principal component analysis showed that the parameter of model interpretation was 0.951 and that of prediction ability was 0.723. The classification results were basically consistent with cluster analysis. The classifica tion results of orthogonal partial least squares- com discriminant analysis were also ba sically consistent with clus- ter analysis. The common peaks with VIP value >1 in the order were peak 7>peak 11(rutin)>peak 17>peak 13(astilbin)> peak 3>peak 8>peak 6>peak 16 respectively. The linear ranges of astilbin ,polydatin and berberine hydrochloride were 0.012 6- 1.225 0,0.010 8-1.052 5 and 0.020 0-1.562 5 mg/mL,respectively(all R 2=0.999 9). RSDs of precision ,stability(24 h)and repeatability tests were all less than 3%. The average recoveries were 99.48%(RSD=2.67%,n=9),98.57%(RSD=1.77%,n= 9)and 100.84%(RSD=2.49%,n=9). The contents were 1.221 0-7.011 6,2.251 1-4.462 9,1.252 4-3.328 7 mg/g,respectively. CONCLUSIONS Established fingerprint and the method of content determination are accurate ,stable and simple. Combined with chemometric analysis ,it can be used for the quality control and evaluation of Zhuang medicine Jinmu granules.

Objective:To investigate the effect of a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) combined with sirolimus on proliferation and apoptosis of the human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cell line Colo-16, and to explore underlying mechanisms.Methods:Cultured Colo-16 cells were divided into 5 groups: normal cell group receiving conventional culture and treatment with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) , negative control group transfected with a shRNA-NC-expressing plasmid and treated with PBS, sirolimus group receiving conventional culture and sirolimus treatment, EGFR shRNA group transfected with an EGFR shRNA-expressing plasmid and treated with PBS, and combined group transfected with an EGFR shRNA-expressing plasmid and treated with sirolimus. Methyl thiazol tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to evaluate cellular proliferative activity in the above groups from 24 to 96 hours, and flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis after 48-hour treatment. Semiquantitative RT-PCR was conducted to determine the mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and Bax, and Western blot analysis to determine the expression of apoptosis-related proteins cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, Bcl-2, Bax, cell proliferation-related proteins phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) , phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) , phosphorylated 70-kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p-P70S6k) , and cyclin D1. Comparisons among groups were carried out by using one-way analysis of variance, and multiple comparisons between 2 groups by using Student-Newman-Keuls q test. Results:MTT assay showed that the proliferative activity of Colo-16 cells was significantly lower in the sirolimus group, EGFR shRNA group and combined group during 24 - 96 hours than in the normal cell group (all P < 0.05) , and higher in the combined group than in the sirolimus group and EGFR shRNA group at 24-96 hours (all P < 0.001) , and there was no significant difference in the cellular proliferative activity at any time points between the normal cell group and negative control group (all P > 0.05) . Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the sirolimus group, EGFR shRNA group and combined group (9.52% ± 0.25%, 12.65% ± 0.23%, 19.81% ± 0.31%, respectively) than in the normal cell group (3.33% ± 0.18%, q = 60.07, 78.08, 122.81, respectively, all P < 0.001) and negative control group (3.42% ± 0.19%, q = 59.90, 77.91, 122.64, respectively, all P < 0.001) , and was highest in the combined group. As RT-PCR and Western blot analysis revealed, the sirolimus group, EGFR shRNA group and combined group showed significantly decreased mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and protein expression of cyclin D1, p-AKT, p-mTOR, p-P70S6K and Bcl-2, but significantly increased mRNA expression of Bax and protein expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 and Bax compared with the normal cell group (all P < 0.05) . Compared with the sirolimus group and EGFR shRNA group, the combined group showed significantly decreased mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and protein expression of cyclin D1, p-AKT, p-mTOR, p-P70S6K and Bcl-2 (all P < 0.05) , but significantly increased mRNA expression of Bax and protein expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 and Bax (all P < 0.01) . Conclusion:EGFR shRNA and sirolimus exerted a synergistic effect in inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis of Colo-16 cells, which may be related to the inhibition of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) /AKT/mTOR pathway.

In order to reveal the mechanism of silicon (Si) fertilizer in improving nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) nutrient availability in paddy soil, we designed a series of soil culture experiments by combining application of varying Si fertilizer concentrations with fixed N and P fertilizer concentrations. Following the recommendations of fertilizer manufacturers and local farmers, we applied Si in concentrations of 0, 5.2, 10.4, 15.6, and 20.8 μg/kg. At each concentration of added Si, the availability of soil N and P nutrients, soil microbial activity, numbers of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and P-decomposing bacteria which means that the organic P is decomposed into inorganic nutrients which can be absorbed and utilized by plants, and urease and phosphatase activity first increased, and then decreased, as Si was added to the soil. These indicators reached their highest levels with a Si application rate of 15.6 μg/kg, showing values respectively 19.78%, 105.09%, 8.34%, 73.12%, 130.36%, 28.12%, and 20.15% higher than those of the controls. Appropriate Si application (10.4 to 15.6 µg/kg) could significantly increase the richness of the soil microbial community involved in cycling of N and P nutrients in the soil. When the Si application rate was 15.6 μg/kg, parameters for characterizing microbial abundance such as sequence numbers, operational taxonomic unit (OTU) number, and correlation indices of microbial community richness such as Chao1 index, the adaptive coherence estimator (ACE) index, Shannon index, and Simpson index all reached maximum values, with amounts increased by 14.46%, 10.01%, 23.80%, 30.54%, 0.18%, and 2.64%, respectively, compared with the control group. There is also a good correlation between N and P mineralization and addition of Si fertilizer. The correlation coefficients between the ratio of available P/total P (AP/TP) and the number of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, AP/TP and acid phosphatase activity (AcPA), AP/TP and the Shannon index, the ratio of available N/total amount of N (AN/TN) and the number of ammoniated bacteria, and AN/TN and AcPA were 0.9290, 0.9508, 0.9202, 0.9140, and 0.9366, respectively. In summary, these results revealed that enhancement of soil microbial community structure diversity and soil microbial activity by appropriate application of Si is the key ecological mechanism by which application of Si fertilizer improves N and P nutrient availability.

Objective To evaluate the influence of dynamic fixation (rotating and sliding pedicle screws) on stability of the atlantoaxial joint. Methods A series of in vitro biomechanical tests were performed using six fresh adult cervical spines (occipital bone-C4 segment) to simulate different conditions in surgery, including the intact state, the injury state, rigid fixation, rotating pedicle screw fixation, sliding pedicle screw fixation. The repeated measurement design was employed, and under intact, injury and different fixation states, the pure moment of 1.5 N·m in flexion-extension, left-right lateral bending, left-right axial rotation directions were applied using the spinal testing machine. The movement of atlantoaxial spine was measured consecutively by three-dimensional (3D) measurement system in order to analyze the range of motion (ROM) and neutral zone (NZ) of atlantoaxial joints. Results Under injury state, ROM of atlantoaxial joints was significantly larger than that under intact state during flexion, extension, lateral bending and rotation, leading to the instability of atlantoaxial joints. ROM of fixation segments was significantly reduced during flexion, extension, lateral bending and rotation after rigid and dynamic fixation. Compared with rigid fixation, dynamic fixation showed a significant ROM increase during lateral bending. NZs of fixation segments after dynamic fixation were significantly reduced. There were no significant ROM differences between rigid fixation and dynamic fixation. Conclusions The stability of atlantoaxial joints by dynamic fixation during flexion, extension and rotation was comparable to that by rigid fixation, but weaker during lateral bending. Dynamic screw fixation can maintain the relative stability of atlantoaxial joints.
