Objective To evaluate the mechanical properties of supraspinatus tendons in hemodialysis patients with high frame rate sound touch elastography(HiFR STE).Methods Forty-six patients who routinely underwent hemodialysis at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College,as well as twenty three fit volunteers,were selected for the study.Patients on hemodialysis were divided into two groups based on their median dialysis duration(74.5 months):the shorter dialysis duration group and the prolonged dialysis duration group[49.00(14.00,69.00)vs 91.00(78.00,122.00)].Two-dimensional ultrasound and HiFR STE imaging were performed using a Mindray Resona R9 Pro ultrasound diagnostic instrument and an L15-3Wu line array probe.The supraspinatus tendon thickness and the mean of Young's modulus(Emean)were measured and compared between hemodialysis patients with varying durations of dialysis and healthy controls.Additionally,the sonographic characteristics of the shoulder joint were observed,including bone destruction,synovial hypertrophy,and joint effusion.Results The differences in supraspinatus tendon thickness and Emean values among healthy control group,shorter dialysis age group and longer dialysis age group were statistically significant(P<0.001),with the supraspinatus tendon thickness(5.73±0.70)mm,(6.57±0.93)mm and(6.80±0.84)mm,respectively.The result of two-by-two comparisons showed that the supraspinatus tendons thickness were thicker in both groups of hemodialysis patients with differing dialysis durations than in controls(P<0.05).HiFR STE results showed that their Emean values was(61.27±21.64)kPa、(42.56±25.30)kPa and(31.13±17.40)kPa,respectively.The result of two-by-two comparisons showed that the Emean value of supraspinatus tendons was significantly lower in dialysis patients than in controls,and the incidence of bone erosion and synovial thickening were statistically significant among the three groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Supraspinatus tendons in hemodialysis patients thickened and showed decreased mechanical properties.Quantitative evaluation of supraspinatus tendon elasticity in hemodialysis patients based on the Emean measured by the HiFR STE can provide objective evidence for clinical screening of potential group of rotator cuff tears.
Objective To elucidate the impact of prenatal stress(PS)on evoked expression of c-Fos in select emotion-related brain areas.Methods An experimental model of maternal exposure to chronic restraint stress in rats was employed as PS model.Subsequently,we assessed c-Fos and NeuN staining by immunofluorescence staining method in various brain regions of PS offspring rats,including the medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC),basolateral amygdala(BLA),ventral hippocampus(VH),and ventrolateral periaqueductal gray(vlPAG).Results Our findings revealed a significant decrease in the density and proportion of c-Fos positive neurons in the mPFC and BLA regions of PS-exposed offspring compared to control offspring.The density of c-Fos positive neurons in the VH region reduced in PS-exposed offspring,while no change was observed in the vlPAG region.Conclusion Our results indicated that PS induced a decreased density of stress-sensitive neurons in mPFC,BLA and VH brain regions,suggesting a potential underlying mechanism for the observed behavioral changes.
Objective To study the effect of combination of high fat diet(HFD)induced obesity and low dose persistent organic pollutants 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(TCDD)on liver lipid metabolism.Methods By 2×2 factorial design,the effects of combination of HFD and low dose TCDD(10 ng·kg-1·d-1)on liver lipid metabolism in obesity-prone(OP)10-week-old female rats were studied.The four groups of experimental animals were:the group treated with no TCDD in chow diet(Cont+TCDD 0),the group treated with low dose TCDD in chow diet(Cont+TCDD 10),and the group high fat diet without TCDD(HFD+TCDD 0)and high fat diet group treated with low dose TCDD(HFD+TCDD 10).Lipid deposition in liver was observed by oil red O staining.The activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)in liver were determined by enzyme method.mRNA expression of genes related to lipid metabolism in liver was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).Results The body weight of rats in Cont+TCDD 0 group,Cont+ TCDD 10 group,HFD+TCDD 0 group and HFD+TCDD 10 group were(301.29±18.47)g,(312.16±20.45)g,(358.20±27.11)g and(373.83±26.50)g,respectively(F=7.43,P<0.01),liver oil red O positive area ratios were(1.26±0.16)%,(1.66±0.50)%,(9.06±1.54)%,(32.56±2.66)%(F=11.32,P<0.01),liver SOD activity were(1.54±0.06)U/mg,(1.41±0.15)U/mg,(1.25±0.08)U/mg and(0.76±0.11)U/mg(F=4.31,P<0.05),respectively.Liver GSH-PX activity were Liver GSH-PX activity were(1 511.00±69.30)U/mg,(1 409.00±60.81)U/mg,(1 232.00±65.05)U/mg and(965.00±83.44)U/mg(F=3.91,P<0.05).The interaction analysis of the above indexes suggested that the combination of high fat diet and low dose TCDD resulted in synergistic increases in the body weight(F=6.33,P<0.05)and liver fat accumulation(F=12.51,P<0.01)of obese-prone female SD rats,and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD in liver(F=4.15,P<0.05)and GSH-PX enzyme activity(F=3.97,P<0.05)were decreased synergistically.Analysis on mRNA expression levels of 12 genes related to lipid metabolism in liver showed that high fat diet combined with low dose TCDD increased adipose lipase(Atgl)(F=3.69,P<0.05),mRNA expression of cluster of differentiation 36(CD36)(F=5.58,P<0.01),inhibited the mRNA expression of hormone sensitive lipase(Hsl)(F=4.01,P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in the expression of other 9 genes(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of high fat diet and low dose TCDD can synergistically increase the abnormal liver lipid metabolism in female obesity-prone female SD rats.
Objective To study the effects of new bone allogeneic repair on physiological and biochemical indexes of the tested animals.Methods Male New Zealand rabbits were used to construct the animal model of bone injury,and 60 rabbits were randomly divided into experimental group,control group and blank control group.At the outer edge of proximal femur,the bone defect with a depth of about 1 mm was prepared by precision grinding mechanism with a diameter of 4 mm ball head.In the experimental group and control group,the left femoral defect was filled with cortical bone particles,and the right femoral defect was filled with cancellous bone fragments.Animals in the blank group underwent the same operation as described above without any material filling.Blood samples were collected at 1,4,8 and 12 weeks after operation,and blood routine and blood biochemical examination were performed.Results One week after surgery,the weight of animals in both groups decreased slightly,and one week later,most of the experimental animals showed an increasing trend.However,there was no significant difference in body weight change among all groups in each experimental period(P>0.05).The results of blood routine test showed that the implant had no adverse effect on the blood system and hematopoietic function of the animals.The results of biochemical examination suggest that the implantation of the test product may have some effects on the biochemical reaction and metabolism of the recipient animal,but this is still a adaptive reaction of the body and does not cause pathological effects.Conclusion This type of allograft bone has no adverse effects on the body weight,blood routine and biochemical indexes of the tested animals,and is a safe implant repair material.
Objective To investigate the effects of lysine-specific demethylase 1(Lsd1)in the development and activation of regulatory T cells(Treg).Methods Thymi,spleens,and lymph nodes were isolated from control and T cell-specific Lsd1 conditional knockout(Lsd1fl/flLck-Cre)mice.The numbers and proportions of Tregs and the ratio changes of eTreg/cTreg were measured by flow cytometry.Results Compared with the control mice,the thymus indices and numbers of thymic CD4+ T cells decreased in the Lsd1 knockout mice,but the numbers and proportions of thymic Treg increased.In the spleen and lymph nodes,the proportions of Treg increased,so did the eTreg/cTreg ratio.Conclusion Conditional knockout of Lsd1 in T cells promotes the development of Tregs in the thymus and the activation of Tregs in the spleen and lymph nodes.
Circulating tumor DNA(ctDNA)is a type of circulating free DNA(cfDNA),which is released into the blood by apoptotic or necrotic tumor cells,or directly secreted by tumors.ctDNA carries tumor-specific genetic and epigenetic characteristics,including gene mutations,chromosome rearrangements,copy number variations,and methylation changes.ctDNA liquid biopsy technique has the advantages of easy operation,high repeatability and minimal invasion.ctDNA can be used to screen and diagnose early stage of digestive system tumor,guide treatment,monitor therapeutic effect,analyze postoperative residual lesions and prevent disease recurrence.This article discusses the biological characteristics,detection methods,and application of ctDNA in digestive system neoplasms.
