异牡荆素对非小细胞性肺癌细胞自我更新和凋亡的影响

目的研究异牡荆素(ISO)对非小细胞性肺癌(NSCLC)细胞的影响和潜在的机制。方法将A549和H1650细胞分别分为空白组、低剂量实验组(4μmol·L^-1 ISO)和高剂量实验组(16μmol·L^-1 ISO)。用噻唑蓝法检测NSCLC细胞活性,用肿瘤球形成实验检测NSCLC细胞的细胞球形成率,用Western blot法检测NSCLC细胞凋亡、自我更新、无翅型MMTV整合位点家族/β-连环蛋白(Wnt/β-catenin)信号通路相关蛋白的表达水平。结果与空白组比较,低、高剂量实验组中A549和H1650细胞在24,48和72 h的细胞活性均显著降低。低、高剂量实验组和空白组中A549细胞的细胞球形成率分别为(4.18±0.45)%,(2.01±0.67)%和(6.02±0.57)%,切割的半胱氨酸蛋白酶-3相对表达量分别为0.24±0.08,1.25±0.13和0.06±0.07,SRY相关高迁移率族盒蛋白-2相对表达量分别为0.49±0.04,0.25±0.03和1.00±0.09,Kruppel样因子4相对表达量分别为0.68±0.04,0.44±0.03和1.01±0.06,Wnt1相对表达量分别为0.63±0.06,0.28±0.04和1.00±0.06,β-catenin相对表达量分别为0.41±0.05,0.22±0.03和1.01±0.09;与空白组比较,低、高剂量实验组中A549细胞的上述指标的差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05,P<0.01)。上述3组中H1650细胞的上述指标也呈现一致的现象。结论ISO可能通过抑制Wnt/β-catenin信号通路来抑制NSCLC细胞活性和自我更新,并促进其凋亡。     

Assessing the Effects of Geniculate Artery Embolization in a Nonsurgical Animal Model of Osteoarthritis

PurposeTo create a nonsurgical animal model of osteoarthritis (OA) to evaluate the effects of embolotherapy during geniculate artery embolization (GAE).Materials and MethodsFluoroscopy-guided injections of 700 mg of sodium monoiodoacetate were performed into the left stifle in 6 rams. Kinematic data were collected before and after induction. At 10 weeks after induction, Subjects 1 and 4–6 underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) and Subjects 1, 3, and 4–6 underwent angiography with angiographic scoring to identify regions with greatest disease severity for superselective embolization (75–250-μm microspheres). Target vessel size was measured. At 24 weeks after angiography, DCE-MR imaging, angiography, and euthanasia were performed, and bilateral stifles were harvested. Medial/lateral tibial and femoral condylar, patellar, and synovial samples were cut, preserved, decalcified, and scored using the Osteoarthritis Research Society International criteria. The stifle and synovium Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score and Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study score were determined. The volume transfer constant (K_trans) and extracellular volume fraction (v_e) were calculated from DCE-MR imaging along the lateral synovial regions of interest.ResultsThe mean gross and microscopic pathological scores were elevated at 38 and 61, respectively. Mean synovitis score was elevated at 9.2. Mean pre-embolization and postembolization angiographic scores were 5 and 3.8, respectively. Mean superior, transverse, and inferior geniculate artery diameters were 3.1 mm ± 1.21, 2.0 mm ± 0.50, and 1.6 mm ± 0.41 mm, respectively. Mean pre-embolization and postembolization cartilage and synovitis scores were elevated at 35.13 and 73.3 and 5.5 and 9.2, respectively. The K_trans/v_e values of Subjects 4, 5, and 6 were elevated at 0.049/0.38, 0.074/0.53, and 0.065/0.51, respectively. Altered gait of the hind limb was observed in all subjects after induction, with reduced joint mobility. No skin necrosis or osteonecrosis was observed.ConclusionsA nonsurgical ovine animal knee OA model was created, which allowed the collection of angiographic, histopathological, MR imaging, and kinematic data to study the effects of GAE.

瘀热型慢性前列腺炎与心理性因素及性功能的相关性

目的分析瘀热型慢性前列腺炎(CP)临床症状与心理性因素及性功能的相关性。方法收集2020年6月至2021年6月在南京市江宁中医院泌尿外科门诊诊治的91例瘀热型CP患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析,使用美国国立卫生研究院慢性前列腺炎症状指数评分表(NIH-CPSI)、中医证候量表、7项广泛性焦虑障碍量表(GAD-7)、抑郁症筛查量表(PHQ-9)、疼痛灾难化量表(PCS)、国际勃起功能评分表(IIEF-5)和早泄诊断量表(PEDT)对患者进行评估,对量表评定结果进行Pearson相关性分析和多元线性回归分析。结果(1)症状量表:NIH-CPSI总分与中医量表总分、GAD-7总分呈正相关,中医证候量表总分与CPSI、GAD-7、PHQ-9、PCS、PEDT总分呈正相关(P<0.05);CPSI总分随中医量表总分递增而升高,中医证候量表总分随CPSI疼痛症状、PHQ-9总分递增而升高(P<0.05)。(2)情绪量表:GAD-7总分与CPSI、中医证候量表总分、排尿症状、PHQ总分、PEDT总分呈正相关,PHQ-9总分与中医证候量表总分、疼痛及排尿症状、PCS总分、PEDT总分呈正相关,PCS总分与中医证候量表总分及疼痛症状分值呈正相关(P<0.05);GAD-7总分随PHQ-9总分递增而升高;PHQ-9总分随中医证候量表排尿症状、GAD-7、PCS分值递增而升高;PCS总分随中医证候量表疼痛症状、PHQ-9分值递增而升高(P<0.05)。(3)性功能量表:IIEF-5总分与中医证候量表疼痛分值呈负相关,PEDT总分与中医证候量表总分及疼痛症状、GAD-7、PHQ-9分值呈正相关(P<0.05);IIEF-5总分随中医证候量表疼痛症状分值递减而升高(P<0.05)。结论瘀热型CP患者表现为以疼痛为主,伴随排尿异常、情绪异常、认知障碍和性功能障碍的系列症状,同时使用中医证候量表及CPSI评估能较好的反映其病情的严重程度。
