朝鲜淫羊藿酸性多糖的理化特性及对HepG2细胞脂质堆积的改善作用＊

目的 对比研究朝鲜淫羊藿酸性多糖酯化还原前后的理化特性，并探讨其改善油酸诱导的肝癌HepG2细胞脂质堆积活性的差异。方法 采用高效凝胶渗透色谱法测定朝鲜淫羊藿酸性多糖（EFPA）的均一性和分子量，高效液相色谱法测定EFPA和酯化还原后朝鲜淫羊藿酸性多糖（EFPA-R）的单糖组成；采用油酸（OA）处理HepG2细胞诱导建立脂质蓄积模型，不同浓度EFPA与EFPA-R（10、30、100、300 μg·mL^-1）分别和OA共同作用于细胞24 h，采用CCK-8试剂盒测定细胞存活率，油红O染色观察细胞内脂滴蓄积情况，并采用试剂盒测定细胞内总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）含量。结果 EFPA为成分均一的多糖组分，分子量为125.8 kDa，由甘露糖、葡萄糖、半乳糖、葡萄糖醛酸和阿拉伯糖组成，摩尔比为1.7∶7.4∶1.4∶1.8∶1.0，葡萄糖占比最大，EFPA-R由甘露糖、葡萄糖、半乳糖和阿拉伯糖组成，摩尔比为0.8∶10.6∶2.1∶1.0；在10-300 μg·mL^-1范围内，EFPA和EFPA-R对HepG2细胞的抑制作用较弱，作为给药浓度；与空白组相比，模型组细胞中TC、TG含量显著升高（P < 0.01），细胞内红色脂滴显著增多，与模型组相比，EFPA可显著降低细胞中TC、TG含量（P < 0.01），明显减少细胞内红色脂滴（P < 0.05或P < 0.01），EFPA-R干预后细胞则无明显变化。结论 EFPA可明显改善HepG2细胞脂质堆积情况，且呈现剂量依赖性，而半乳糖醛酸（GalA）的存在可能是其抑制HepG2细胞脂质蓄积的关键因素。     

Confounded association between proton pump inhibitor use and risk of biliary tract cancer: Result from three cohorts

Recent epidemiological studies suggested that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use was associated with an increased risk of biliary tract cancer (BTC), however, confounders were not adequately controlled. Our study aimed to evaluate PPI use and subsequent risk of BTC and its subtypes in three well-established cohorts. We conducted a pooled analysis of the subjects free of cancers in UK Biobank (n = 463 643), Nurses' Health Study (NHS, n = 80 235) and NHS II (n = 95 869). Propensity score weighted Cox models were used to estimate marginal HRs of PPIs use on BTC risk, accounting for potential confounders. We documented 284 BTC cases in UK Biobank (median follow-up: 7.6 years), and 91 cases in NHS and NHS II cohorts (median follow-up: 15.8 years). In UK biobank, PPI users had a 96% higher risk of BTC compared to nonusers in crude model (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.44-2.66), but the effect was attenuated to null after adjusting for potential confounders (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.60-1.49). PPI use was not associated with risk of BTC in the pooled analysis of three cohorts (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.60-1.43). We also observed no associations between PPI use with risk of intrahepatic (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.49-2.04), extrahepatic bile duct (HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.52-2.27) and gallbladder cancers (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.26-1.66) in UK Biobank. In summary, regular use of PPIs was not associated with the risk of BTC and its subtypes.     

嘌呤能受体X1与肺腺癌预后及免疫细胞浸润的相关性研究

目的：探索嘌呤能受体X1(purinergic receptor，P2RX1)与肺腺癌(LUAD)患者预后及免疫细胞浸润的相关性。方法：利用生物信息学技术分析非小细胞肺癌中P2RX1的表达及其甲基化与患者预后的关系，对P2RX1共表达基因进行富集分析并筛选核心基因。利用TIMER 2.0数据库、R软件等分析P2RX1与免疫细胞、免疫检查点、免疫基质评分等的相关性。结果：P2RX1在LUAD中表达下调，低表达P2RX1的患者预后较差(P<0.05)，且P2RX1与肿瘤纯度、分期等临床病理因素有关(P<0.05)。P2RX1的表达与肺鳞癌患者预后无明显相关。Cg06475633等P2RX1 CpG位点甲基化与患者预后相关。P2RX1共表达基因主要富集于免疫细胞活化、分化等通路和生物学进程，核心基因主要包括BTK、IKZF1等。P2RX1的表达与B细胞浸润、免疫/基质评分、PD-1、CTLA-4等多个免疫检查点显著相关(P<0.05)。结论：P2RX1有望成为LUAD诊断和免疫治疗的新靶点。     

3-硝基-1,2,4-三唑-5-酮的毒理学特性

3-硝基-1,2,4-三唑-5-酮（NTO）是一种不敏感含能材料，因其爆轰速度和压力与六氢-1,3,5-三硝基-1,3,5-三嗪（RDX）相似，合成和运输安全，已逐渐成为传统含能材料的替代品。近年来，随着国内外对含能材料毒性研究的不断深入，已证实NTO对生物体及生态系统具有多种毒性效应，主要表现为对哺乳动物的睾丸毒性。本文从生物代谢、生物毒性及生态毒性三个方面对NTO毒性进行系统概述，展望今后NTO毒性的研究方向，以期为NTO的职业健康风险评估提供可靠的毒理学基础。     

m6A-RNA甲基化在非小细胞肺癌中的研究进展

N6-甲基腺嘌呤（N6-methyladenosine，m6A）是最常见的一种RNA表观遗传修饰。近年来，越来越多证据显示，m6A-RNA甲基化在非小细胞肺癌（non-small cell lung cancer，NSCLC）发生发展中起关键作用，其甲基化相关因子可作为促癌因子或抑癌因子调控NSCLC细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭、凋亡及细胞周期，可能是NSCLC治疗新靶点。本文就m6A-RNA甲基化在NSCLC中的研究进展作一综述。     

Stability and change in family psychosocial risk over 6 months in pediatric cancer and its association with medical and psychosocial healthcare utilization

Purpose: Family psychosocial risk in pediatric oncology can be assessed using the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT), a brief parent report screener based on the Pediatric Psychosocial Preventative Health Model (PPPHM; universal, targeted, and clinical). However, little is known about risk over the course of treatment and its association with medical and psychosocial healthcare utilization. Methods: Primary caregivers of children with cancer participated in this prospective multisite investigation, completing the PAT at diagnosis (T1; n = 396) and 6 months later (T2; n = 304). Healthcare utilization data were extracted from electronic health records. Results: The distribution of PPPHM risk levels at T1 and T2 was highly consistent for the samples. Two‐thirds of families remained at the same level of risk, 18% decreased and 16% increased risk level. Risk was not related to sociodemographic or treatment variables. The PAT risk score correlated with psychosocial contacts over the 6‐month period. Conclusions: Although the majority of families reported universal (low) risk on the PAT and were stable in their risk level over 6 months, reassessing risk is helpful in identifying those families who report higher level of risk during treatment than at diagnosis. PAT scores were related to psychosocial services that are provided to most but not all families and could be tailored more specifically to match risk and delivery of evidence‐based care.
