腹腔镜经腹腹膜前疝修补术与开放式腹膜前疝修补术治疗股疝的疗效比较

目的比较腹腔镜经腹腹膜前疝修补术（TAPP）与开放式腹膜前疝修补术治疗股疝的手术结果和对生活质量的影响。 方法回顾性分析2014年1月至2019年12月新疆医科大学第一附属医院收治的58例股疝患者的临床资料，根据手术方式不同分为TAPP组和开放式腹膜前疝修补术组（开放组），TAPP组31例，开放组27例。比较两组手术指标，采用卡罗来纳舒适量表（CCS）评估并比较两组患者术前及术后1、6、12和24个月的生活质量。 结果TAPP组在手术时间、术中出血量、术后住院天数及术后并发症发生率等方面和开放组相比差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）；TAPP组在术后24 h疼痛视觉模拟评分及术后镇痛药使用率方面明显优于开放组（P<0.05）；TAPP组术后离床时间及术后首次进食时间长于开放组（P<0.05）；2组患者术后随访24个月，均无复发病例。两种术式均能有效改善患者术前的疼痛、运动受限及总体生活质量（P<0.05）；TAPP组患者术后1个月疼痛及总体生活质量优于开放组（P<0.05）。 结论TAPP与开放式腹膜前疝修补术均可有效治疗股疝。TAPP可作为无全身麻醉禁忌股疝患者的首选治疗方法。股疝的治疗应依据患者的自身情况和手术医师的技术掌握程度制定个体化治疗方案。     

外周血单个核细胞内人类免疫缺陷病毒DNA和RNA定量对病毒转录活性的区分

目的基于人类免疫缺陷病毒Ⅰ型(HIV-1)感染者外周血单个核细胞(PBMCs)中HIV-1总DNA和RNA定量检测结果对感染细胞内病毒的转录活性进行区分。方法采集2017年10月至2018年12月于哈尔滨医科大学附属第四医院感染科就诊的HIV-1感染者血液样本,分离PBMCs细胞,采用PCR荧光探针法对PBMCs细胞内HIV-1总DNA和RNA进行定量检测,并计算两者比值(Ratio)。根据Ratio值筛选出HIV-1转录活跃组样本和相对非活跃组样本,另外选择健康人PBMCs样本作为对照组。对3组样本进行基因转录组表达谱检测以及人口特征差异性检验,并对基因表达谱检测结果进行主成分分析以验证对3组样本病毒转录活性区分的准确性。结果从60例感染HIV-1患者的PBMCs样本中筛选出HIV-1转录活跃组样本(10例)和相对非活跃组样本(11例),另外选择6例健康人PBMCs样本作为对照组。其中转录活跃组样本Ratio值为165.2~738.93,平均为(339.27±189.68);相对非活跃组Ratio值为4.67~42.39,平均为(17.65±11.78)。转录活跃组和相对非活跃组样本间的CD4+T细胞计数(P=0.049)和Ratio值(P<0.001)差异均具有统计学意义;3组样本年龄(P=0.989)和性别(P=0.650)分布差异无统计学意义。对3组样本的PBMCs基因表达谱主成分分析结果显示:对照组与HIV-1感染者(包括转录活跃组和相对非活跃组)间区分明显。转录活跃组和相对非活跃组间有部分样本重合,同时结果也显示当HIV-1感染者的CD4+T淋巴细胞计数与健康人无显著差异时,其细胞内的基因表达与健康人接近。结论基于HIV-1总DNA和RNA定量检测结果及两者间比值可以较好地区分PBMCs内病毒转录活性。HIV-1感染细胞内部病毒的不同转录激活状况可导致其基因表达谱的异质性。     

The effect of caffeine abstinence on sleep among habitual caffeine users with poor sleep

Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive substance in the world and is known to disrupt healthy sleep. However, very few studies have directly tested the effect of caffeine abstinence on sleep, and these have yielded inconsistent findings. The purpose of the present study was to examine changes in sleep following caffeine abstinence and examine the extent to which characteristics of habitual caffeine use moderated this change. Participants included 66 healthy, young adults with habitual caffeine use and poor sleep. During the 2‐week baseline, sleep was assessed using wrist actigraphy and daily caffeine use was assessed with bedtime diaries. Eligible participants then completed 1 week of caffeine abstinence, during which sleep was measured with wrist actigraphy. Multilevel models found no significant differences between either mean levels or growth trajectories of total sleep time or sleep efficiency between baseline and caffeine abstinence. Mean levels of sleep onset latency also did not differ between baseline and caffeine abstinence. A small but significant quadratic effect was observed, such that sleep onset latency decreased during the first few days of caffeine abstinence, then increased to levels above baseline. Characteristics of caffeine use did not moderate changes in sleep between baseline and caffeine abstinence. These data suggest that abstaining from caffeine may not result in long‐term sleep improvement for habitual caffeine users, which contradicts the common sleep health recommendation. The present findings encourage more rigorous investigation of the effectiveness of caffeine restriction on sleep.     

Association of job stress,CLOCK gene polymorphism and their interaction with poor sleep quality

Job stress and the Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput (CLOCK) gene could affect circadian rhythm and sleep quality. The main aim of our present study was to investigate the association of job stress, CLOCK gene polymorphism and their interaction with sleep quality in a non‐clinical Chinese Han population, which has not been reported to date. Using a cross‐sectional design, 450 subjects were recruited in Beijing. Sleep quality was measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and job stress was measured with the Work Stress Scale. CLOCK gene rs11932595 polymorphism was genotyped in 297 blood samples. Correlation analysis showed a close but different association of high job stress with the PSQI and its components. Analysis of variance showed significant main effects of the CLOCK gene rs11932595 polymorphism. G‐allele carriers had a higher score in the PSQI, sleep duration, sleep latency and sleep disturbances. Further interaction analyses showed an ordinal interaction on sleep duration, and a disordinal interaction on daytime dysfunction. Specifically, G‐allele carriers had poorer sleep duration than AA homozygotes when in high job stress, while the two subgroups displayed similar sleep duration when in low job stress, conforming to the diathesis–stress model. In comparison to G‐allele carriers, AA homozygotes experienced less daytime dysfunction when in low job stress whereas more daytime dysfunction when in high job stress, fitting with the differential susceptibility model. As genetic links have been revealed, our investigation might be conducive for elucidating aetiological factors for sleep quality and targets for implementing interventions to attain good sleep quality.     

LY3214996 relieves acquired resistance to sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Background: Sorafenib, an oral multi-kinase inhibitor of rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma; vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2/3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, c-Kit, and Flt-3 signaling, is approved for treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the benefit of sorafenib is often diminished because of acquired resistance through the reactivation of ERK signaling in sorafenib-resistant HCC cells. In this work, we investigated whether adding LY3214996, a selective ERK1/2 inhibitor, to sorafenib would increase the anti-tumor effectiveness of sorafenib to HCC cells.Methods: The Huh7 cell line was used as a cell model for treatment with sorafenib, LY3214996, and their combination. Phosphorylation of the key kinases in the Ras/Raf/MAPK and PI3K/Akt pathways, protein expression of the cell cycle, and apoptosis migration were assessed with western blot. MTT and colony-formation assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation. Wound-healing assay was used to assess cell migration. Cell cycle and apoptosis analyses were conducted with flow cytometry.Results: LY3214996 decreased phosphorylation of the Ras/Raf/MAPK and PI3K/Akt pathways, including p-c-Raf, p-P90RSK, p-S6K and p-eIF4EBP1 activated by sorafenib, despite increased p-ERK1/2 levels. LY3214996 increased the anti-proliferation, anti-migration, cell-cycle progression, and pro-apoptotic effects of sorafenib on Huh7^R cells.Conclusions: Reactivation of ERK1/2 appears to be a molecular mechanism of acquired resistance of HCC to sorafenib. LY3214996 combined with sorafenib enhanced the anti-tumor effects of sorafenib in HCC. These findings form a theoretical basis for trial of LY3214996 combined with sorafenib as second-line treatment of sorafenib-resistant in advanced HCC.     

基于CT图像的评分模型预测食管鳞癌喉返神经旁淋巴结转移风险

目的:基于原发肿瘤及淋巴结CT特征建立评分模型预测食管鳞癌患者喉返神经旁淋巴结(RLN-LN)转移风险。方法:回顾性收集2014年1月至2019年12月于北京大学肿瘤医院行食管癌根治术并清扫RLN-LN的92例食管鳞癌患者。根据术后淋巴结病理结果分为RLN-LN转移组(n=37)和非转移组(n=55)。评估术前CT图像,记录食管癌患者年龄、性别、分化程度、肿瘤位置、肿瘤大小(肿瘤长度、肿瘤厚度、厚度/长度)、RLN-LN大小(淋巴结短径、长径、短径/多平面重建(MPR)最长径]。采用多元logistic回归筛选独立预测因子并建立评分模型,采用ROC曲线评估评分模型及独立预测因子诊断RLN-LN转移的效能,采用Z检验比较曲线下面积(AUC)的差异。应用Hosmer-Lemeshow检验和校准曲线评估模型拟合度。结果:肿瘤位置、肿瘤长度、RLN-LN短径、短径/MPR最长径是RLN-LN转移的独立预测因子,其诊断RLN-LN转移的AUC分别为0.586、0.705、0.831、0.777。基于以上4个CT特征建立评分模型,评分模型诊断RLN-LN转移的AUC为0.903(95%CI 0.846~0.959),优于各单一CT特征(Z=5.812,P<0.001;Z=2.161,P=0.030;Z=2.929,P=0.003;Z=4.052,P<0.001)。拟合优度Hosmer-Lemeshow检验结果显示P=0.555,校准曲线提示评分模型预测RLN-LN转移风险与实际转移风险之间具有良好的一致性。结论:基于CT图像的评分模型有助于食管鳞癌RLN-LN转移状态危险分层。
