不同致敏变应原所致变应性鼻炎患者164例生活质量调查

目的:比较中国北方地区树木花粉、杂草花粉以及尘螨引起的变应性鼻炎(AR)患者的生活质量水平,伴随哮喘情况,探讨AR患者的生活质量与变应原血清特异性IgE的关系。方法:选取164例AR伴或不伴哮喘的成人患者,完成病史采集及变应原检查,并填写标准化鼻结膜炎生存质量调查问卷(RQLQ)。结果:中国北方地区AR患者中,树木花粉组及杂草花粉组的RQLQ总评分、日常活动评分、鼻部症状及眼部症状评分均显著高于尘螨组,生活质量更差。树木花粉组的哮喘比例明显低于尘螨组,而杂草花粉组的哮喘比例则与尘螨组无明显差异,且显著高于树木花粉组。尘螨及蒿属花粉过敏所致的AR患者的RQLQ评分与其变应原特异性IgE水平之间无明显相关性。结论:AR患者的生活质量评分受到变应原具体类型的影响,中国北方地区花粉过敏者发病时的生活质量比尘螨过敏者更差,但生活质量受损程度可能不受变应原特异性IgE水平的影响。不同花粉过敏所致鼻炎合并哮喘的比例不同,杂草花粉可能比树木花粉更容易诱发哮喘。

Comparison of the effects of perineural or intravenous dexamethasone on thoracic paravertebral block in Ivor‐Lewis esophagectomy: A double‐blind randomized trial

Efforts to prolong thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) analgesia include local anesthetic adjuvants, such as dexamethasone (Dex). Previous studies showed that both perineural (PN) and intravenous (i.v.) routes could prolong analgesia. As PN Dex is an off‐label use, anesthesiologists should be fully informed of the clinical differences, if any, on block duration. This study was designed to evaluate the two administration routes of Dex for duration of analgesia in TPVB. Ninety‐five patients scheduled for Ivor‐Lewis esophagectomy were randomized to receive TPVB (0.5% ropivacaine 15 ml), PN or i.v. Dex 8 mg. The primary end point was the duration of analgesia. The secondary end points included pain scores, analgesic consumption, adverse effects rate, and incidence of chronic pain at 3 months postoperatively. The PN‐Dex group showed better analgesic effects than the i.v.‐Dex group (p < 0.05). Similarly, the visual analogue scale scores in patients at 2, 4, 8, and 12 h postoperatively were lower in the PN‐Dex group than the i.v.‐Dex group (p < 0.05). The analgesic consumption in both the PN‐Dex and i.v.‐Dex groups was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05). Regarding the incidence of chronic pain, regardless of route, Dex decreased the incidence of chronic postsurgical pain and neuropathic pain at 3 months after surgery (p < 0.05), but there were no clinical differences between the i.v.‐Dex and PN‐Dex groups. Perineural dexamethasone improved the magnitude and duration of analgesia compared to that of the i.v.‐Dex group in TPVB in Ivor‐Lewis esophagectomy. However, there were no clinically significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of chronic pain.

Study Highlights WHAT IS THE CURRENT KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPIC? Both perineural (PN) and intravenous (i.v.) dexamethasone (Dex) could prolong the duration of a nerve block, but the superiority of either route is still inconclusive. WHAT QUESTION DID THIS STUDY ADDRESS? The study investigated the effects of the two routes of Dex added to ropivacaine on analgesic effects of thoracic paravertebral block in patients undergoing Ivor‐Lewis esophagectomy. WHAT DOES THIS STUDY ADD TO OUR KNOWLEDGE? These results extend the knowledge of the superior analgesic effect of Dex for the management of perioperative pain in the setting of Ivor‐Lewis Esophagectomy. HOW MIGHT THIS CHANGE CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY OR TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE? Because PN Dex is an off‐label use, our study conformed the safety of Dex as PN adjuvants and extended its application field in clinical work.

RING finger and WD repeat domain 3 regulates proliferation and metastasis through the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathways in hepatocellular carcinoma

BACKGROUNDHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exhibits high invasiveness and mortality rates, and the molecular mechanisms of HCC have gained increasing research interest. The abnormal DNA damage response has long been recognized as one of the important factors for tumor occurrence and development. Recent studies have shown the potential of the protein RING finger and WD repeat domain 3 (RFWD3) that positively regulates p53 stability in response to DNA damage as a therapeutic target in cancers. AIMTo investigate the relationship between HCC and RFWD3 in vitro and in vivo and explored the underlying molecular signalling transduction pathways. METHODS RFWD3 gene expression was analyzed in HCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Lentivirus was used to stably knockdown RFWD3 expression in HCC cell lines. After verifying the silencing efficiency, Celigo/cell cycle/apoptosis and MTT assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation and apoptosis. Subsequently, cell migration and invasion were assessed by wound healing and transwell assays. In addition, transduced cells were implanted subcutaneously and injected into the tail vein of nude mice to observe tumor growth and metastasis. Next, we used lentiviral-mediated rescue of RFWD3 shRNA to verify the phenotype. Finally, the microarray, ingenuity pathway analysis, and western blot analysis were used to analyze the regulatory network underlying HCC. RESULTSCompared with adjacent tissues, RFWD3 expression levels were significantly higher in clinical HCC tissues and correlated with tumor size and TNM stage (P < 0.05), which indicated a poor prognosis state. RFWD3 silencing in BEL-7404 and HCC-LM3 cells increased apoptosis, decreased growth, and inhibited the migration in shRNAi cells compared with those in shCtrl cells (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the in vitro results were supported by the findings of the in vivo experiments with the reduction of tumor cell invasion and migration. Moreover, the rescue of RFWD3 shRNAi resulted in the resumption of invasion and metastasis in HCC cell lines. Finally, gene expression profiling and subsequent experimental verification revealed that RFWD3 might influence the proliferation and metastasis of HCC via the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.CONCLUSIONWe provide evidence for the expression and function of RFWD3 in HCC. RFWD3 affects the prognosis, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of HCC by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.     

Construction of developmentally inspired periosteum-like tissue for bone regeneration

The periosteum, a highly vascularized thin tissue, has excellent osteogenic and bone regenerative abilities. The generation of periosteum-mimicking tissue has become a novel strategy for bone defect repair and regeneration, especially in critical-sized bone defects caused by trauma and bone tumor resection. Here, we utilized a bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2)-loaded scaffold to create periosteum-like tissue(PT) in vivo, mimicking the mesenchymal condensation during native long bone developmen...

??OBJECTIVE To establish a capillary zone electrophoresis(CZE)-based method for charge heterogeneity analysis of IgG2 monoclonal antibody. METHODS The concentrations of TETA and EACA, pH of separation buffer and temperature of capillary were optimized, to obtain a method which can efficiently separate the charge variants of IgG2 mabs. The reproducibility and repeatability of the optimized CZE method were validated and a battery of mabs were evaluated. RESULTS The separation effect was significantly influenced by TETA/EACA concentration, pH and separation temperature. Through a series of optimization, a CZE method which showed good resolution and precision(RSD of area percentage was below 3.0% was established and the method parameters were as below: 400 mmol??L^-1 EACA/0.05% TETA, pH 6.2, separation under 30 kV voltage at 35 ??. This method was also suitable for IgG1 and IgG4 mabscharge heterogeneity analysis. Based on the specific electrophorogram and migration time, it could also be used as an identification method for monoclonal antibodies. CONCLUSION The optimized CZE method can efficiently separate the charge variants of IgG2 mabs and shows good precision and specificity, which can be used to analyze the charge heterogeneity and identification of monoclonal antibodies.
