Objective:To explore the new mechanism of liver fibrosis through D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide (D-GalN/LPS)-induced necroptosis as an entry point to inhibit lethal injury.Methods:The carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced mouse model of liver fibrosis was established. At 6 weeks of fibrosis, the mice were challenged with a lethal dose of D-GalN/LPS, and the normal mice treated with the same treatment were used as the control. The experiment was divided into four groups: control group (Control), acute injury group (D-GalN/LPS), liver fibrosis group (Fib), and liver fibrosis + acute challenge group (Fib + D-GalN/LPS). Quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence were used to analyze the expression of necroptosis key signal molecules RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL and/or P-MLKL in each group. Normal mice were treated with inhibitors targeting key signaling molecules of necroptosis, and then given an acute challenge. The inhibitory effect of D-GalN/LPS-induced-necroptosis on acute liver injury was evaluated according to the changes in transaminase levels and liver histology. Liver fibrosis spontaneous ablation model was established, and then acute challenge was given. Necroptosis key signal molecules expression was analyzed in liver tissue of mice in each group and compared by immunohistochemistry. The differences between groups were compared with t-test or analysis of variance.Results:Quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence assays result showed that D-GalN/LPS-induced significant upregulation of RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL and/or P-MLKL. Necroptosis key signal molecules inhibition had significantly reduced D-GalN/LPS-induced liver injury, as manifested by markedly reduced serum ALT and AST levels with improvement in liver histology. Necroptosis signaling molecules expression was significantly inhibited in fibrotic livers even under acute challenge conditions. Additionally, liver fibrosis with gradual attenuation of fibrotic ablation had inhibited D-GalN/LPS-induced necroptosis.Conclusion:Liver fibrosis may protect mice from acute lethal challenge injury by inhibiting D-GalN/LPS-induced necroptosis.

Objective:To provide a clinical evidence-based medicine by comparing the efficacy of all-inside versus inside-out suture techniques in arthroscopic meniscal injury repair surgery.Methods:Five English and Chinese databases were searched for controlled studies about arthroscopic meniscus all-inside versus inside-out suture, including PubMed, Web of Science, Excerpt Medica Database(EMBASE), China Knowledge Network Infrastructure, and Wanfang. The search was conducted from the establishment of the database to May 2020, and the results were limited to English and Chinese literature. According to the defined criteria, patients who first underwent arthroscopic meniscus suture and had no underlying disease or other joint disease were screened for inclusion. After data extraction, five indicators were pooled including excellent healed rate, complications, operative time, Lyshlom score, and Tegner score. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Cochrane System Evaluation Manual and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). The analysis of dichotomous and continuous variables was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.Results:Ten studies with a total of 631 patients (340 in the all-inside suture group and 291 in the inside-out suture group) were included. There was no statistically significant difference in rate of meniscal excellent healed. The result of all-inside suture was similar to inside-out suture [the randomized control trial (RCT) group: the risk ratio (RR)=1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.79, 1.31), P=0.88; non-RCT group: RR=1.00, 95% CI (0.92, 1.09), P=0.99]. The all-inside suture technique did not reduce the postoperative complication rate, and there was no statistically significant difference between the all-inside suture method and the inside-out suture method [RCT group: RR=0.65, 95% CI (0.22, 1.92), P=0.43; non-RCT group: RR=0.50, 95% CI (0.25, 1.97), P=0.05]. The mean operative time of patients in the all-inside suture group was shorter than the Inside-out suture group, with a statistically significant difference of 16 min in RCT group and 46 min in non-RCT group [RCT group: mean difference (MD)=-16.31, 95% CI (-30.56, -2.07), P=0.02; non-RCT group: MD=-46.60, 95% CI (-60.79, -32.41), P<0.001]. The effect of all-inside and inside-out suture on the knee function of patients was similar, and there were no statistically significant difference in both group for postoperative Lyshlom score [RCT group: MD=6.24, 95% CI (-11.39, 23.86), P=0.49; non-RCT group: MD=1.15, 95% CI (-0.40, 2.69), P=0.15] and Tegner score [MD=0.00 95% CI (-0.20, 0.21), P=0.97].Conclusions:Compared with the inside-out suture technique, the arthroscopic all-inside suture has no advantage in terms of meniscal excellent healed rate, complication rate or knee function. However, all-inside suture can shorten the mean operation time. The clinician should be thoughtful in choosing the all-inside suture as the procedure is more costly and the outcomes are comparable to inside-out suture.

Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system with high morbidity and mortality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are abundant non-coding RNAs, which contribute to tumor progression by competing with other endogenous RNAs such as microRNA (miRNA). MiRNA are a class of small non-coding RNAs, which interrupt the translation of target mRNAs. CircPCMTD1 (hsa-circ-0001801) is a newly discovered circRNA that was found to be significantly upregulated in glioma. However, its function is unclear. In this study, circPCMTD1 upregulation promoted the cell viability, migration and invasion dramatically, while the inhibition of circPCMTD1 led to a significant reduction of tumor growth in vivo. MiRNAs microarray analyses on circPCMTD1 silencing models in U251 and U118MG cells were performed, and the results suggested that circPCMTD1 knockdown could upregulate the expression of miR-224-5p and downregulate the expression of mTOR, one of miR-224-5p targets, in both cell lines. According to the prediction from circular RNA interactome and Targetscan, there was a complementary sequence in circPCMTD1 for miR-224-5p. Dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that circPCMTD1 were targets of miR-224-5p. RIP assay was also performed to further confirm their directly interaction. Overexpression of miR-224-5p inhibited the viability and proliferation, migration, and invasion of U251 and U118MG glioma cells. In conclusion, circPCMTD1 could contribute to the promotion of glioma progression, and it may serve as the sponge of miR-224-5p to exert its function.

BACKGROUND Acute liver injury in the setting of hepatic fibrosis is an intriguing and still unsettled issue. We previously have demonstrated the protective effects conferred by M2-like macrophages in the fibrotic liver. In the present work, we further decipher the cellular mechanisms governing this hepatoprotection. MATERIAL AND METHODS Macrophages were isolated from control mice (M0 macrophages), then polarized into M1 or M2 phenotype using IFN-γ or IL-4, respectively. Conditioned media (CM) from M0, M1, and M2 macrophages were harvested and applied to M1 macrophages. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by immunostaining and real-time PCR. Similarly, human monocyte-derived macrophages were isolated and polarized, then M0, M1, and M2 CM were applied to HL-7702 or HepG2 cells followed by apoptosis induction. Cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. RESULTS For the mouse conditioned medium experiment, stronger expression of cleaved caspase 3 and higher Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA ratio were found in M1 macrophages pretreated with M2 CM compared to those in M1 macrophages pretreated with M0 or M1 CM. Similarly, exposure of HL-7702 and HepG2 cells to either M0 or M1 CM had no significant effect on cell apoptosis. Nevertheless, the frequency of hepatocyte apoptosis was substantially reduced in HL-7702 (from 32.23±2.99 to 15.37±0.69 for Annexin V+/PI+ staining, p<0.01) and HepG2 cells (from 36.1±7.26 to 15.2±1.2 for Annexin V+/PI+ staining, p<0.01) with M2 CM pretreatment. CONCLUSIONS M2-like macrophages exert their hepatoprotective effect by promoting M1-like macrophage apoptosis but protecting against hepatocyte apoptosis.

Potassium voltage-gated channel interacting protein 3 (KChIP3), also termed downstream regulatory element antagonist modulator (DREAM) and calsenilin, is a multifunctional protein belonging to the neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) family. Recent studies revealed the expression of KChIP3 in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, suggesting the potential role of KChIP3 in peripheral sensory processing. Herein, we show that KChIP3 colocalizes with transient receptor potential ion channel V1 (TRPV1), a critical molecule involved in peripheral sensitization during inflammatory pain. Furthermore, the N-terminal 31-50 fragment of KChIP3 is capable of binding both the intracellular N and C termini of TRPV1, which substantially decreases the surface localization of TRPV1 and the subsequent Ca2+ influx through the channel. Importantly, intrathecal administration of the transmembrane peptide transactivator of transcription (TAT)-31-50 remarkably reduces Ca2+ influx via TRPV1 in DRG neurons and alleviates thermal hyperalgesia and gait alterations in a complete Freund's adjuvant-induced inflammatory pain model in male rats. Moreover, intraplantar injection of TAT-31-50 attenuated the capsaicin-evoked spontaneous pain behavior and thermal hyperalgesia, which further strengthened the regulatory role of TAT-31-50 on TRPV1 channel. In addition, TAT-31-50 could also alleviate inflammatory thermal hyperalgesia in kcnip3−/− rats generated in our study, suggesting that the analgesic effect mediated by TAT-31-50 is independent of endogenous KChIP3. Our study reveals a novel peripheral mechanism for the analgesic function of KChIP3 and provides a potential analgesic agent, TAT-31-50, for the treatment of inflammatory pain. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Inflammatory pain arising from inflamed or injured tissues significantly compromises the quality of life in patients. This study aims to elucidate the role of peripheral potassium channel interacting protein 3 (KChIP3) in inflammatory pain. Direct interaction of the KChIP3 N-terminal 31-50 fragment with transient receptor potential ion channel V1 (TRPV1) was demonstrated. The KChIP3–TRPV1 interaction reduces the surface localization of TRPV1 and thus alleviates heat hyperalgesia and gait alterations induced by peripheral inflammation. Furthermore, the transmembrane transactivator of transcription (TAT)-31-50 peptide showed analgesic effects on inflammatory hyperalgesia independently of endogenous KChIP3. This work reveals a novel mechanism of peripheral KChIP3 in inflammatory hyperalgesia that is distinct from its classical role as a transcriptional repressor in pain modulation.
Objective To study the antiviral regimen among outpatients with chronic hepatitis B in general hospital.Methods Outpatients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B between January 2014 and January 2016 were included.All of them needed antiviral therapy.Retrospective study was done to their antiviral agents with cross-section analysis.Results A total of 83.9% outpatients with chronic hepatitis B were accepting antiviral therapy and most of them used nucleos(t)ide analogs.There were 78.0% of them chosed single or combined nucleos (t) ide analogs,16.4% chosed interferon α plus nucleos(t) ide analogs,5.6% chosed single interferon α.The most frequently used nucleos(t) ide analogs were Entecavir and then adefovir dipivoxil.Conclusion Nucleos (t)ide analogs were frequently used in outpatients with chronic hepatitis B and Entecavir ranked first place.Interferon α should be enhanced.
Objective: To identify the clinical features of mononucleosis caused by co-infection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in adult patients. Methods: A total of 103 inpatients with mononucleosis in Peking University Third Hospital from May 2013 to May 2016 were collected as the study subjects.The patients were divided into three groups according to the responsible pathogens: 33 patients infected with EBV and CMV, 53 infected with EBV alone and 17 infected with CMV alone.Furthermore, a case-control study was employed to retrospectively compare the clinical characteristics and prognosis with χ(2,) t or rank tests. Results: The incidences of sore throat, pharynx congestion, tonsil enlargement, tonsil membrane, lymphadenectasis in co-infected patients were statistically lower than those in EBV-infected patients(χ(2)=19.202-25.492, all P<0.05), and were equivalent to those in CMV-infected patients(χ(2)=0.078-4.381, all P>0.05). The levels of alkaline phosphatase, glutamyl transferase, lactic dehydrogenase, white blood cell count and atypical lymphocyte in co-infected patients were statistically lower than those in EBV-infected patients(t/U=3.471-104.629, all P<0.05), and were similar to those in CMV-infected patients(t/U=0.447-24.330, all P>0.05). The levels of alanine aminotransferase and total bilirubin in co-infected patients were equivalent to those in the other two groups(U=1.695, 6.371, both P>0.05). The duration of fever in co-infected patients[(18±9) d] was between EBV alone [(15±7) d] and CMV alone [(21±7) d]infected patients. Conclusions: Co-infection of EBV and CMV is not uncommon.The clinic manifestation of co-infection is more like CMV infection. Liver injury and duration of fever shows no aggravation.

Methods A total of 79 patients with IDA were enrolled,and 79 subjects with normal blood routine test results and ferritin were enrolled as control group. Fasting blood glucose,glycated serum protein,ferritin,HbA1c and HbA2 were determined. Using 2 plans,the influence of IDA on HbA1c determination was evaluated.(1)The influence of IDA on the results of HbA1c determination was evaluated.(2)HbA2 was determined by capillary electrophoresis,and the differences of hemoglobin(Hb),mean corpuscular volume(MCV),mean corpuscular hemoglobin(MCH),ferritin,HbA1c and HbA2 before and after treatment were compared. The HbA2 results in control and IDA groups by capillary electrophoresis were analyzed. The cut-off values of HbA2 by capillary electrophoresis for IDA were assessed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve. Results Fasting blood glucose and glycated serum protein showed no statistical significance between control and IDA groups(P>0.05). Ferritin and HbA1c showed statistical significance between control and IDA groups(P<0.05). In IDA group,Hb, MCV,MCH,ferritin,HbA1c and HbA2 had statistical significance between before and after treatment(P<0.01). When the cut-off value of HbA2 by capillary electrophoresis for IDA screen was 2.25%,the sensitivity was 93.4%,and the specificity was 92.1%. Conclusions IDA has certain effect on HbA1c determination. Capillary electrophoresis can determine HbA1c and HbA2 simultaneously,which can be used into IDA screen.
