- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and analyze the risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation (HT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The clinical data of 220 patients with CMB within the first 4.5 h after the onset of acute ischemic stroke treated in our hospital from September 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Then, these patients were evenly assigned into two groups based on whether the intravenous thrombolysis with rt-PA was adopted or not. Next, the neurological deficit was scored using the National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) before and after treatment, the modified Rankin scale (mRs) score of patients was recorded at 90 d after treatment, and the incidence rate and death rate of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) after treatment were recorded and evaluated. Additionally, the univariate and logistic regression analyses were employed for the risk factors for HT in patients after thrombolysis. RESULTS: The NIHSS score declined to (7.08±3.75) points and (7.83±4.22) points at 24 h after treatment and (3.67±3.63) points and (4.92±3.87) points at 7 d after treatment, respectively, in Thrombolysis group and Control group, which were significantly lower than those before treatment (p<0.05). The NIHSS score displayed no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 24 h after treatment (p=0.165), whereas it was markedly lower in Thrombolysis group than that in Control group at 7 d after treatment (p=0.015). At 90 d after treatment, there were 98 (89.1%) and 79 (71.8%) cases of good prognosis in Thrombolysis group and Control group, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (p=0.002). Besides, the number of patients with SICH and aSICH was 3 and 2 (2.7% vs. 1.8%, p=0.651) and 9 and 4 (8.2% vs. 3.6%, p=0.152) in Thrombolysis group and Control group, respectively, and the number of deaths was 7 and 5 (6.4% vs. 4.5%, p=0.553) in the two groups, showing no statistically significant difference. The results of univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the time from stroke onset to thrombolysis, baseline NIHSS score, and history of atrial fibrillation were independent risk factors affecting the HT of patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis [odds ratio (OR) =1.330, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) =1.079-1.851, p=0.019; OR=1.592, 95% CI=1.025-2.767, p=0.010; OR=2.428, 95% CI=1.814-3.643, p=0.016]. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with those undergoing no intravenous thrombolysis with rt-PA, patients with acute ischemic stroke and CMB who received intravenous thrombolysis with rt-PA exhibit significantly improved shortterm neurological function recovery and longterm prognosis, but the incidence and mortality rates of ICH have no statistically significant differences. Moreover, the time from stroke onset to thrombolysis, baseline NIHSS score, and history of atrial fibrillation are independent risk factors affecting the HT of patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The correlations of murine double minute 2 ( MDM2) T309 G and esophageal cancer were elucidated because the association between MDM2 expression states and clinicopathological parameters of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma ( ESCC) is controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis on studies screened from Pub Med, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Databases that were published before October 2014. All studies describing the association between MDM2 and ESCC were traced. Meta-analysis was performed using the STATA software ( Stata Corp., College Station, TX, USA). A total of 9 studies with 707 cases and 324 controls were included. MDM2 expression was higher in ESCC than in normal esophageal epithelium (odds ratio [ OR] 10.38, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 6.42-16.78, P < 0.001). High MDM2 expression was associated with early primary tumor stage ( T1/ T2 vs. T3/ T4, OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.38-0.92, P = 0.018) and increased risk of regional lymph node metastasis ( N0 vs. N1, OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.03-2.67, P = 0.039). However, no relationship was observed between MDM2 expression and the risk of distant metastasis ( OR = 2.09, 95% CI 1.00-4.36, P = 0.050), and MDM2 was not significantly correlated with TP53 expression ( OR 1.22, 95% CI 0.53-2.77, P = 0.643). Our analysis suggests that MDM2 acts as a potent marker of early primary tumor stage but higher risk of regional lymph node metastasis in ESCC. However, because of the limited number of studies included, the result should be further clarified by well-designed prospective studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the differences in reading efficiency and visual fatigue between the use of augmented reality (AR) glasses and laptops. Methods: A prospective self-controlled study was conducted. Healthy students from Capital Medical University who frequently engaged in long-term near work and used laptops and other digital display devices were recruited as subjects at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University between November 1 and November 15, 2023. LogMAR visual acuity, visual functions (accommodation, convergence, and fusion), and visual fatigue scores (Likert visual fatigue scale) of the participants were assessed. The order of using the laptop and AR glasses for each participant was determined by a coin toss. Reading efficiency (reading speed and error rate multiplied by the detection rate of incorrect numbers) with different devices for 10 minutes at the same time on different dates and visual fatigue scores after watching a 20-minute video were measured. Statistical analyses were performed using paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Results: A total of 20 eligible subjects were included, comprising 7 males and 13 females, with a mean age of (25.45±2.27) years. There was no significant change in binocular visual acuity before and after using AR glasses and laptops (both P >0.05). The reading speed and reading efficiency of using AR glasses [(34.03±9.25) and (29.19±7.62) digits/min, respectively] were significantly lower than those of using laptops [(39.43±10.36) and (35.67±9.87) digits/min, respectively] ( t =4.36, P <0.001), while the difference in error detection rate was not statistically significant ( t =1.29, P =0.213). There was no statistically significant difference in visual fatigue scores before watching videos with the two devices ( Z =-0.71, P =0.480). However, the visual fatigue score after watching videos with AR glasses [(20.55±5.04) points] was significantly higher than that with laptops [16.50 (13.00, 19.75) points] ( Z =-2.85, P =0.004). The visual fatigue scores after watching videos with both devices were significantly higher than before ( P <0.05), with a more significant increase observed with AR glasses [(6.05±3.50) points] ( Z =-3.41, P <0.001). Conclusion: Compared with using laptops, the reading speed and efficiency were lower, and the visual fatigue was more pronounced with the use of AR glasses at the current technical level. Further optimization and improvement of AR glasses are warranted.

- Abstract
Objective: To access the effects of evodiamine on carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) -induced liver fibrosis mice and study the mechanism based on modulating gut microbiota. Methods: From August 2019, 30 SPF male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal, model and evodiamine groups. Mice in control group received intraperitoneal injection of olive oil (2 ml/kg, twice per week) for 6 weeks. Mice in model and evodiamine groups received intraperitoneal injection of 20% CCl(4) (2 ml/kg, twice per week) for 6 weeks to induce liver fibrosis mice. Then, mice in evodiamine group received orally of evodiamine (18 mg/kg) for 4 weeks. The levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , aspartate aminotransferase (AST) , albumin (ALB) and total protein (TP) were detected. The pathological changes of liver tissue were observed. The effects of evodiamine on the abundance and diversity of intestinal microflora in liver fibrosis mice were determined. The mRNA and protein expression levels of inflammatory factors[interleukin-6 (IL-6) , interleukin-1β (IL-1β) , and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) ] in liver tissue were measured. Results: Compared with the normal group, the body weight, serum ALB and TP levels of the model group were decreased, the liver index, ALT and AST levels were increased, and the intestinal flora Shannon and Simpson indexes were decreased ( P <0.01) . Compared with the normal group, the abundance of Lactobacillus , Akkermansia and Bacteroides in the feces of the model group decreased, while the abundance of Enterococcus and Lachnoclostridium increased ( P <0.01) . Compared with the normal group, the mRNA and protein expressions levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in the liver tissue of the model group were significantly increased ( P <0.01) . Compared with the model group, evodiamine could reduce liver index and serum ALT and AST levels, increase ALB and TP levels ( P <0.05) , improve inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis degree in liver tissue, and up regulate intestinal flora Shannon and Simpson indexes in liver fibrosis mice ( P <0.05) . Compared with the model group, evodiamine could increase the abundance of Lactobacillus , Akkermansia , Bacteroides , and reduce the abundance of Enterococcus and Lachnoclostridiun ( P <0.05) . Compared with the model group, evodiamine could reduce the mRNA and protein levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in liver tissue of liver fibrosis mice ( P <0.05) . Conclusion: Evodiamine can ameliorate CCl(4)-induced liver fibrosis through modulating gut microbiota and inhibiting the inflammatory response in liver.

- Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effect of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine on brucellosis and its influence on humoral immune indexes. Methods: In October 2019, 169 cases of brucellosis hospitalized in Tianjin Second People's Hospital were selected as the research objects, and divided into two groups according to the random number method, 84 cases in the integrated treatment group and 85 cases in the western medicine treatment group. The western medicine treatment group was given antibiotics and other routine western medicine support treatment. The integrated treatment group was given traditional Chinese medicine for treatment based on syndrome differentiation, on the basis of western medicine treatment group, and 6 weeks was a course of treatment. The clinical efficacy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores were compared between the two groups of patients after treatment, and the changes in humoral immune indexes, biochemical, and liver and kidney functions of the patients before and after treatment were analyzed. Results: The total effective rate was 100.00% (84/84) in the integrated treatment group and 97.65% (83/85) in the western medicine treatment group. The difference was not statistically significant ( P >0.05) . The difference was not statistically significant ( P >0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in TCM syndrome scores between the two groups before treatment ( P >0.05) , and the TCM syndrome scores after treatment were lower than before treatment ( P <0.05) . Among them, the TCM syndrome scores of the integrated treatment group were lower than those of the western medicine treatment group ( P <0.05) . There was no significant difference in IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C4, miRNA-155, C-reactive protein (CRP) , erythrocyte sedimention rate (ESR) , alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) between the two groups before treatment ( P >0.05) . After treatment, IgG, IgA, IgM, miRNA-155, CRP, ESR, ALT and AST were all lower than before treatment, and C3 and C4 complement levels were higher than before treatment ( P <0.05) . Among them, IgG, IgA, IgM, miRNA-155, CRP, ESR, ALT and AST in the integrative treatment group were all lower than the western medicine treatment group, while the C3 and C4 complement levels were higher than the western medicine treatment group ( P <0.05) . Conclusion: The treatment of brucellosis with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine can significantly improve the TCM syndrome score and reduce the levels of CRP and ESR. The mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of the patient's humoral immunological indicators.

- Abstract
Background: The aim of our study was to compare the post-operative health-related quality of life in patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; within the Milan criteria) after liver resection or liver transplantation., Methods: From August 2000 to December 2010, 207 patients were diagnosed with early HCC within the Milan criteria. We divided these patients into 2 groups according to their curative schedule: the liver transplantation group (n = 95) and the liver resection group (n = 110). We compared the baseline characteristics of these 2 groups of patients, after which we focused on comparing the post-operative health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and psychological outcome in these 2 groups., Results: The demographics of the patients in the 2 groups were similar, and there were no significant differences except for higher family income in the transplantation group (P = .002).With long-term follow-up, there were no significant differences in the 8 domains of the HRQOL and the 9 domains of the psychological outcome measure between the 2 groups. Both the transplantation and resection groups exhibited good outcomes in both HRQOL and psychological outcome measures., Conclusions: Several years after operation, early-stage HCC patients who underwent liver transplantation or resection had similar long-term HRQOL and psychological outcomes., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Background: Liver transplantation has been the first choice for most early- or intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases. However, postoperative anti-HCC therapies remain controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Huaier aqueous extract (Jinke), when used as an adjuvant postoperative anti-HCC therapy., Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical and follow-up data of HCC patients who underwent liver transplantation at our center. We divided them into 2 groups: a control liver transplantation group and a Huaier treatment group. The baseline characteristics, tumor characteristics, intraoperative data, postoperative recovery, long-term overall survival rate, and tumor-free survival rate were compared between the 2 groups., Results: Fifty-three patients were included in our study, including 28 patients who underwent postoperative Huaier therapy and 25 patients who underwent liver transplantation without postoperative Huaier therapy. The baseline and tumor characteristics were similar between the 2 groups. None of the patients in the Huaier group experienced any severe adverse events. The long-term predictive overall survival was similar between the 2 groups (P = .202). However, the Huaier group had a higher predictive tumor-free survival rate than the control group (P = .029). And the 10- and 30-month predictive tumor recurrence rates were 17.9% and 35.7% in the Huaier group, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (60% and 64%; P < .05)., Conclusions: HCC patients may benefit from Huaier therapy after liver transplantation, but a longer follow-up time and larger cohort study may be necessary to be sure., (Copyright © 2015.

- Abstract
Vasonatrin peptide (VNP) is an active cardiovascular factor and a novel synthetic natriuretic peptide with unknown natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR) binding properties. We set out to design binding models of NPRA/VNP and NPRB/VNP, and then assessed their recognition and binding affinities using molecular dynamics. Molecular dynamics analysis indicated decreases in the values of Van der Waals, electrostatic energy and potential energy of NPRB/VNP compared to NPRA/VNP. There was a 25% increase in H-bond formation between VNP and NPRB. The cGMP stimulated by VNP in NPRB-transfected HEK-293 cells was 11-fold higher than that of NPRA. We therefore demonstrated that VNP binds with both NPRA and NPRB, but with a preference for NPRB., (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Background and Objective: Although there are many reports on donor safety, there are few concerning aborted donations. We sought to analyze the "no go" donor hepatectomies in our liver transplantation center over 10 years' experience., Methods: Among 290 living donors brought to the operating room for liver graft harvest from March 2002 to April 2012, we examined the reasons to abandon the procedure, comparing their data with those of successful donors., Results: The donor operation was aborted in 5 cases various for reasons. The main reason for the abandonment of the operation process was poor liver quality: in single cases there was: poor liver quality due to a massive cirrhotic nodule observed by laparoscopy; serious steatosis of the liver, indicated by an intraoperative biopsy; and an unsuitable biliary anatomy, including 4 branches with 2 small ones. In another case, a biliary duct variation in the intraoperative cholangiogram showed a narrow crotch of the left and right ducts. In the 5th case, the donor would have been left with only a small remaining left lobe (<30%) if the right lobe had been harvested. All 5 donors proceeded to accept a right lobe hepatectomy. Comparison with the 285 successful donors showed no significant differences in preoperative demographic data. All 5 donors recovered without complication and were in good condition over long-term follow-up., Conclusions: A low rate of "no go" donor hepatectomy can be achieved. There was no short- or long-term harm to the living donor owing to abandonment of the procedure., (Crown Copyright © 2013. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
ADAM15 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase 15), a transmembrane protein containing seven domains, interacts with some integrins via its disintegrin domain and overexpresses in many solid tumors. In this study, the effect of the recombinant human disintegrin domain (rhddADAM15) on the proliferation and migration of Bel-7402 cells was evaluated in vitro and in vivo in zebrafish xenografts. rhddADAM15 (4 μM) severely inhibited the proliferation and migration of Bel-7402 cells, inducing a partial G2/S arrest and morphological nucleus changes of apoptosis. Moreover, the activity of caspases 8, 9 and 3 in Bel-7402 cells was increased. In addition, the zebrafish was used as a model for apoptosis-induction and tumor-xenograft. rhddADAM15 (1 pM) inhibited the growth and metastasis of Bel-7402 cell xenografts in zebrafish and a lower concentration (0.1 pM) induced severe apoptosis in the somatic cells of zebrafish. In conclusion, our data identified rhddADAM15 as a potent inhibitor of tumor growth and metastasis, making it a promising tool for use in anticancer treatment., (Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Background: Hyperbilirubinemia in living liver donor is very common, but the causes are still unclear., Aims: We sought to clarify the risk factors and predictors of nonobstructive hyperbilirubinemia among living donors., Methods: We divided 210 consecutive right liver lobe donors into two groups according to the peak total bilirubin postoperatively. We collected data on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative biochemical measurements retrospectively, performing multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusting for potential confounders of the risk of hyperbilirubinemia., Results: There were significant differences between the two groups in donor age, body mass index, operative time, blood loss, macrovescicular steatosis, allogeneic blood transfusion rate, intensive care unit stay, hospital stay and Clavien score after donation (P < .05). Age, graft/donor weight, operative time, and blood loss were significantly associated with the risk of hyperbilirubinemia upon logistic regression analysis., Conclusion: Hyperbilirubinemia, one type of hepatic dysfunction after a living donor procedure, was associated with multiple independent risk factors., (Crown Copyright © 2013.

- Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the adult kidney, and its incidence has been steadily rising. RCC consists of several subtypes, each of which has its own clinical features, and cytogenetic and molecular characteristics. Recognizing histologic patterns of RCC is important not only for correct diagnosis, but also for providing insight into the biological behavior of the tumor and subsequent appropriate medical care for the patient. Pigments other than hemosiderin has been observed in RCC, but none of them have been proved to be melanin. Melanotic tumors, either primary or metastatic, are rare in the kidney. We present an unusual case of melanin-pigmented clear cell RCC with melanocytic differentiation, an unusual variant that may lead to errors in diagnosis and treatment.

- Abstract
Cutaneous microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a rare and poorly understood tumor that predominantly occurs in the head and neck. MAC usually affects people in their fourth and fifth decades. Some patients have had a history of radiation. We present a case of MAC occurring in the left antecubital fossa of an 18-year-old white woman with an unusual immunodeficiency syndrome. The patient also developed a squamous cell carcinoma, a cutaneous T-cell malignancy, and a perigastric leiomyoma. A congenital infection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) persisted throughout her life. The association of HSV infection with MAC and squamous cell carcinoma and that of peripheral T-cell lymphoma with Epstein-Barr virus is discussed in relation to her immunodeficiency.

- Abstract
Objective: To develop an instrument used in measurement of physiological parameters in laboratories or field. Method A: computer was used to process data in the telemetry system. The frequency-time division modulation technique was adopted. The low frequency signals were directly connected to the computer serial port after demodulation, and measurement control was achieved by single-chip computer. Temperature measurement results were obtained by conversion table., Result: It is capable of telemeter and processing ECG, wind speed and temperature signals in real-time. Good results were gained in high temperature condition and -17 degrees C environment., Conclusion: The instrument has many advantages, such as high accuracy, good processing ability, reliability, long operation distance, small volume and easy operation.

- Abstract
This study investigated the effect of acetic acid extracted proteins of bone and cementum on periodontal ligament fibroblasts. Alveolar bone and cementum obtained from clinically healthy subjects were subjected to 0.5 M acetic acid extraction, dialysis and lyophilization. Effects of both extracts on cell attachment and stimulation of DNA synthesis were studied in fibroblast-like cells cultured from human periodontal ligament tissue. A wide spectrum of proteins, such as 11-14, 17, 19, 22, 24, 27, 30, 34-44, 47 and 55 kDa, were detected in 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of both extracts. A few tissue-specific bands (19, 22, 47 kDa in cementum extract; 34-44, 55 kDa in bone extract) were noted. These extracts were found to promote cell attachment and stimulate DNA synthesis of periodontal fibroblasts. Cementum extract appeared to have a higher activity in stimulating DNA synthesis than bone extract, while promotion of cell attachment was similar with both extracts. Addition of serum evoked a synergistic effect on the promotion of DNA synthesis of both extracts. These preliminary observations suggest that acetic acid extracts from bone and cementum contain distinct components capable of modulating cellular activities of periodontal fibroblasts.

- Abstract
Many protein kinases are self-regulated by an intrasteric mechanism where part of the enzyme's structure directly inhibits the active site. This inhibitory structure is called a pseudosubstrate and specific regulators are required to remove it from the active site to allow substrates access. Removal of the pseudosubstrate sequence from members of the myosin light-chain kinase subfamily, including twitchin kinase, activates them but it is not known whether the pseudosubstrate sequence binds to the active site. Native twitchin is a 753K protein (6,839 residues) located in muscle A-bands of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and because of its size has not been easy to study. We have determined the crystal structure, refined to 2.8 A resolution, of a recombinant fragment (residues 5,890 to 6,262) of twitchin kinase that contains the catalytic core and a 60 residue carboxy-terminal tail. The C-terminal tail extends through the active site, wedged between the small and large lobes of the structure and making extensive contacts with the catalytic core which accounts for autoinhibition and provides direct support for the intrasteric mechanism of protein kinase regulation.

- Abstract
An auto-inhibited fragment of twitchin kinase (residues 5890 to 6262) has been crystallized by vapor diffusion techniques using polyethylene glycol 4000 as the precipitant at pH 7.25 to 7.5 at 4 degrees C. We have found that MgSO4 and glycerol were essential for large crystal growth. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit cell dimensions of a = 144.1 A, b = 168.3 A and c = 60.6 A. They are suitable for X-ray analysis and diffract to a resolution of at least 2.8 A.
