不同制法下瘀血汤对CCl4诱导大鼠肝纤维化的影响

目的:探讨蜜丸酒煎下瘀血汤与饮片酒煎下瘀血汤抗肝纤维化作用是否存在异同。方法:40只Wistar大鼠随机分为正常组、模型组、蜜丸酒煎下瘀血汤组、饮片酒煎下瘀血汤组、扶正化瘀方组。以50%CCl_4皮下注射9周制备肝纤维化模型。第7周首日开始,正常组与模型组给予0.3%羧甲基纤维素钠灌胃,其余3组分别给予蜜丸酒煎下瘀血汤(0.58 g·kg~(-1)),饮片酒煎下瘀血汤(0.43 g·kg~(-1)),扶正化瘀方(2 g·kg~(-1))灌胃,第9周结束后收集肝组织和血清样本。分别采用苏木素-伊红(HE)染色观察各组大鼠肝组织病理学,天狼猩红染色观察纤维化程度,碱水解法测定肝组织羟脯氨酸含量情况,全自动分析法检测大鼠血清肝功能,实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(Real-time PCR)检测肝组织α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)和Ⅰ型胶原(COL-I)mRNA的表达情况,蛋白免疫印迹法(Western blot)和免疫组化测定肝组织α-SMA蛋白的表达,酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)测定炎症因子与氧化指标。结果:与正常组比较,模型组大鼠肝肝纤维化程度较严重,肝组织天狼猩红阳性染色面积比、羟脯氨酸含量,α-SMA和COL-I蛋白及mRNA表达显著增加(P0.01),大鼠血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(AST),天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT),总胆红素(TBil),肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α),白细胞介素(IL)-1β,IL-17A及丙二醛(MDA)的水平显著增加(P0.01),超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)的水平显著降低(P0.01);与模型组比较,蜜丸酒煎下瘀血汤与饮片酒煎下瘀血汤可明显减轻肝纤维化程度,肝组织天狼猩红阳性染色面积比、羟脯氨酸含量,α-SMA和COL-I蛋白及mRNA表达,大鼠血清AST,ALT,TBil,TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-17A,MDA的水平明显降低(P0.05,P0.01),SOD及GSH-Px水平明显增加(P0.05,P0.01)。其中蜜丸酒煎下瘀血汤组肝组织病理变化的改善显著优于饮片酒煎下瘀血汤,且肝组织在天狼猩红阳性染色面积比、羟脯氨酸含量、肝组织COL-I mRNA以及α-SMA mRNA和蛋白的表达降低也较饮片酒煎下瘀血汤明显(P0.05,P0.01)。血清肝功能、炎症因子及氧化相关指标2种制法下瘀血汤组间差异无统计学意义,但蜜丸酒煎下瘀血汤改善趋势更为明显。结论:蜜丸酒煎下瘀血汤与饮片酒煎下瘀血汤均具有较好的抗肝纤维化作用,其中以蜜丸酒煎下瘀血汤作用更为显著,提示制蜜丸一定程度上能够增加下瘀血汤抗肝纤维化作用。     

A Randomized Phase II Study of Perioperative Chemotherapy Plus Bevacizumab Versus Postoperative Chemotherapy Plus Bevacizumab in Patients With Upfront Resectable Hepatic Colorectal Metastases

IntroductionWhether patients with resectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) gain a survival benefit from perioperative chemotherapy remains controversial. The benefit of including bevacizumab in chemotherapy also remains unclear.Material and MethodsSeventy-six patients with CRLM were randomly assigned to either 6 cycles of FOLFOX (folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin)/FOLFIRI (folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, and irinotecan) with bevacizumab before and after surgery or 12 cycles after surgery. Progression-free survival (PFS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test.ResultsThe median PFS of all patients was 37.4 months at 5.4 years follow-up, and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The PFS between the perioperative group and the postoperative group did not reveal a statistical difference (P = .280). The OS was significantly better in the perioperative group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.60; 95% confidence interval [CI],) 0.35-1.02; P = .049). In subgroup patients with carcinoembryonic antigens (CEA) ≥ 5 ng/mL or those with over 2 liver metastases, perioperative group had longer OS than postoperative group (CEA: HR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.25-0.93; P = .030; number of liver metastases: HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.30-0.99; P = .049). The largest liver metastases size, disease-free interval, and sidedness did not affect PFS or OS. There was no difference between the 2 groups in postoperative complications with bevacizumab or adverse events during chemotherapy.ConclusionsIn patients with resectable CRLMs, perioperative chemotherapy had no effect on PFS, but improved OS. Patients with high CEA levels or over 2 liver metastases may benefit from perioperative chemotherapy.     

膝痹宁对膝骨关节炎模型大鼠滑膜纤维化的影响

目的观察膝痹宁对膝骨关节炎(KOA)模型大鼠滑膜纤维化的影响。方法大鼠分为空白组、KOA组、膝痹宁组;KOA组、膝痹宁组造模。分别在膝痹宁灌胃治疗的第1、14、28、42、56天测量各组大鼠的膝关节横径;第56天处死大鼠提取滑膜组织,解剖学观察滑膜组织形态;天狼星红染色评估滑膜组织胶原沉积情况;WB和PCR检测纤维化标记物生长转化因子-β(TGF-β)、Ⅰ型胶原α1链(COL1α1)、金属蛋白酶抑制剂1(TIMP1)的蛋白和基因表达。结果膝痹宁用药14天,28天时,膝关节横径变化并不显著,但膝痹宁用药42天,56天时,膝关节横径则较KOA模型明显减小,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);用药56天后对大鼠进行膝关节解剖学观察,KOA大鼠滑膜组织较正常大鼠有一定程度的增厚、充血、欠规则;而上述表现在膝痹宁大鼠有所减轻;天狼星红染色显示膝痹宁用药大鼠滑膜组织胶原沉积较少;纤维化标记指标物TGF-β、COL1α1、TIMP1的基因和蛋白表达在膝痹宁组均较KOA组降低,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论膝痹宁对能有效减轻KOA滑膜纤维化,以“温经活血”立法的中药复方对组织纤维化具有良性干预效应。     

Estudio de una cohorte de paciente con fibrosis quística y Scedosporium spp.

IntroductionIn recent years an increase in the prevalence of colonization and infection by Scedosporium spp. in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) has been observed. In this article, we study the frequency of isolation of Scedosporium spp. in an adult CF Unit, analyzing characteristics of the patients and predisposing factors.MethodsA retrospective observational study was conducted in 87 adult CF patients in whom the presence of positive culture for Scedosporium spp. was tested for a 5-year period (January 2012-July 2017). We recorded the following clinical variables: age, sex, body mass index, genotype, presence of pancreatic insufficiency, bacterial colonization, lung function, other complications, exacerbations and treatment, and the modified Bhalla score from the last high-resolution computed tomography. Results were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics Version 22.0 software.ResultsScedosporium spp. was isolated in 25.3% of patients. In the bivariate analysis, these patients showed a higher rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, worse score in the Bhalla classification (highlighting the following items: bronchiectasis, mucus plugs and bronchial generations), a slight decrease in the lung diffusion capacity and more frequently received inhaled antibiotics. In the logistic regression multivariate analysis, only the bronchial generations item was significant.ConclusionScedosporium spp. must be considered an emerging opportunistic pathogen in patients with CF whose clinical involvement, risk factors or need for treatment is unknown.     

实时超声弹性成像在诊断慢性乙肝肝纤维化程度中的应用价值

【摘要】 目的 探讨实时超声弹性成像在诊断慢性乙肝肝纤维化程度中的应用价值。方法 以2016年1月～2019年1月我院收治的慢性乙型肝炎（CHB）患者146例为研究对象。分别行肝脏穿刺检查及实时组织弹性成像（RTE）检查，然后进行病理分期，并记录相应的应变均值（MEAN）、标准偏差（SD）、蓝色区域面积比（%AREA）、复杂度（COMP）、峰度（KURT）、偏度（SKEW）、对比度（CONT）、均等性（ENT）、杂乱度（IDM）、一致性（ASM）、相关性（CORR），并计算得出肝纤维化指数（LFI）值。结果 与S0、S1、S2期比较，S4期MEAN显著降低（P＜0.05）；与S0、S1、S2、S3期比较，S4期%AREA、COMP显著升高（P＜0.05）；与S0、S1、S2期比较，S4期SKEW、LFI显著升高（P＜0.05）；与S0期比较，S3期LFI显著升高（P＜0.05）。Spearman相关分析结果示，MEAN、ENT与肝纤维化分期呈负相关（P＜0.05）。SD、%AREA、COMP、SKEW、IDM、ASM、LFI与肝纤维化分期呈正相关（P＜0.05）。RTE参数MEAN、%AREA、COMP、SKEW、IDM、LFI诊断肝纤维化程度的ROC曲线下面积均在0.7~0.9。当MEAN、%AREA、COMP、SKEW、IDM、LFI 6个参数的截断值分别取10029、3014、2752、042、012、281时，诊断肝纤维化程度的准确性和特异性均在70%以上。〖HT5"H〗结论〖HTK〗〓实时组织弹性成像与慢性乙型肝炎肝纤维化分期具有较高的相关性，其中与肝纤维化指数的相关系数最大，其在慢性乙型肝炎肝纤维化的诊断和评估中具有重要应用价值。
