腹腔巨噬细胞核因子转位在小鼠内毒素诱导葡萄膜炎发病中的作用

目的观察野生型C3H/HeN小鼠和Toll样受体4(TLR4)基因缺陷型C3H/HeJ小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞在脂多糖(LPS)刺激下激活状态的差异,从体外途径探讨TLR4传导信号在前葡萄膜炎发病中的可能作用机制。设计实验研究。研究对象健康成年C3H/HeN和C3H/HeJ小鼠。方法常规提取两种小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞体外培养,按处理因素不同随机分六组:C3H/HeN小鼠LPS组、正常对照组、抗TLR4单克隆抗体加LPS组、抗TLR4单克隆抗体组;C3H/HeJ小鼠LPS组、正常对照组。各组在不同处理后1h、3h、6h、12h、24h五个时间点通过免疫荧光组织化学染色进行观察。主要指标TLR4传导途径中关键分子TLR4、髓样分化因子88(MyD88)、核因子-κB(NF-κB)免疫荧光强度及表达位置差异。结果所有组TLR4均表达于细胞膜,MyD88表达于细胞质和细胞核。C3H/HeN小鼠LPS组和C3H/HeJ小鼠LPS组TLR4荧光强度比较,差异有统计学意义;余各组TLR4荧光强度两两比较,差异无统计学意义。C3H/HeN小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞LPS组随LPS刺激时间的延长,各观察时间点MyD88荧光强度逐渐减弱,总体差异有统计学意义;余各组各时间点MyD88荧光强度无明显变化。C3H/HeN小鼠正常对照组、抗TLR4单克隆抗体组,C3H/HeJ小鼠正常对照组腹腔巨噬细胞各时间点NF-κB均表达于胞质,C3H/HeN小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞LPS刺激1h后NF-κB表达于胞核,3h依旧表达于胞核,此后无法检测到NF-κB的表达。C3H/HeN小鼠抗TLR4单克隆抗体加LPS组、C3H/HeJ小鼠LPS组巨噬细胞经LPS刺激1h后NF-κB转移至胞膜,直至24h一直表达于胞膜。结论腹腔巨噬细胞TLR4传导途径中核因子的转位可能与前葡萄膜炎的发病有关,特异性阻断该途径或许为前葡萄膜炎的治疗提供新思路。     

细胞外基质金属蛋白酶诱导因子在绒毛和胎盘组织中的表达

目的 探讨细胞外基质金属蛋白酶诱导因子(EMMPRIN)在绒毛及胎盘组织中的表达以及表达部位。方法 分别取36例妊娠6～9周妇女的早孕绒毛组织、7例因病理指征行中期引产妇女的胎盘组织和11例足月妊娠妇女的胎盘组织,免疫组化方法检测绒毛组织和胎盘组织中EMMPRIN的表达部位变化特点。结果 (1)表达部位：EMMPRIN在早孕绒毛组织、中期和足月妊娠的胎盘组织中均有高度表达。在早孕绒毛组织中的表达部位主要集中在绒毛内细胞滋养细胞、合体滋养细胞及细胞滋养层柱细胞;在中期和足月妊娠的胎盘组织中,主要表达于底蜕膜的绒毛外细胞滋养细胞。(2)表达特点：在早孕绒毛组织中细胞滋养细胞、合体滋养细胞和细胞滋养层柱细胞的。EMMPRIN阳性率随妊娠进展逐渐下降。在妊娠中期的胎盘组织中,细胞滋养细胞、合体滋养细胞和细胞滋养层柱细胞的EMMPRIN阳性率分别为5／7、3／7、5／7;在足月妊娠的胎盘组织中,细胞滋养细胞、合体滋养细胞和细胞滋养层柱细胞的EMMPRIN阳性率分别为73％、18％和82％。在中期和足月妊娠的底蜕膜中的EMMPRIN阳性率较弱,且趋于稳定。而早期妊娠阶段,侵入到底蜕膜的绒毛外细胞滋养细胞中。EMMPRIN阳性表达则随孕周进展逐渐增强。结论 EMMPRIN在妊娠早期与胚胎植入有关,在妊娠的中晚期则可能参与妊娠维持。     

尿皮素对体外培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞一氧化氮及一氧化氮合酶的影响

目的:通过检测尿皮素(UCN)对人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)一氧化氮(NO)生成及一氧化氮合酶(NOS)表达的影响,探讨UCN调节胎儿-胎盘血管张力的分子机制。方法:在离体培养的HUVEC中加入不同浓度的UCN(0、0.1、1、10nmol/L)、10nmol/L促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素(CRH)及向以上各组UCN/CRH同时加α-helical-CRH进行体外培养,用硝酸还原酶法检测细胞上清液中NO的水平,蛋白印迹法检测内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)和诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)蛋白表达水平的变化。结果:在与UCN共同培养4~8h后,HUVEC细胞上清液中NO水平呈时间和剂量依赖性变化,随着培养时间的延长,UCN浓度增加,NO水平逐渐升高;UCN组HUVEC iNOS表达水平比对照组明显升高(P<0.05),且呈浓度依赖性升高。而各组eNOS表达水平与对照组比较无明显变化(P>0.05)。UCN/CRH α-helical-CRH组HUVEC上清液中NO水平和HU-VEC iNOS表达水平与对照组比较无明显变化,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),与相同浓度UCN/CRH组比较NO水平和iNOS蛋白表达水平明显降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:UCN可促HUVEC合成及释放NO,NO生成增多与UCN通过促进肾上腺皮质激素释放激素2β受体(CRH-R2β)正相调节iNOS蛋白表达有关,这可能是UCN调节胎儿-胎盘血管张力的分子机制之一。

Prior statin and short‐term outcomes of primary intracerebral hemorrhage: From a large‐scale nationwide longitudinal registry

IntroductionThe relationship between statins and intracerebral hemorrhage outcomes is unclear.AimWe aimed to compare the in‐hospital mortality and evacuation of intracranial hematoma rates in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage between prior statin users and nonusers.ResultsThe final study population included 66,263 patients. Multivariable logistics analyses showed that prior statin use was not associated with in‐hospital mortality for primary intracerebral hemorrhage (adjusted odd ratio 0.78, 95% CI 0.61–1.01), but reduced the proportion of patients undergoing evacuation of intracranial hematoma (adjusted odd ratio 0.70, 95% CI 0.61–0.82). Propensity score matching analyses yielded similar results.ConclusionPrior statin use was not associated with in‐hospital mortality but did reduce evacuation of intracranial hematoma rates.     

Melatonin inhibits EMT and PD‐L1 expression through the ERK1/2/FOSL1 pathway and regulates anti‐tumor immunity in HNSCC

Melatonin is an endogenous hormone with various biological functions and possesses anti‐tumor properties in multiple malignancies. Immune evasion is one of the most important hallmarks of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and is closely related to tumor progression. However, as an immune modulator under physiological conditions, the roles of melatonin in tumor immunity in HNSCC remains unclear. In this study, we found that the endogenous melatonin levels in patients with HNSCC were lower than those in patients with benign tumors in head and neck. Importantly, lower melatonin levels were related to lymph node metastasis among patients with HNSCC. Moreover, melatonin significantly suppressed programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) expression and inhibited epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of HNSCC through the ERK1/2/FOSL1 pathway in vitro and in vivo. In SCC7/C3H syngeneic mouse models, anti‐programmed death‐1 (PD‐1) antibody combined with melatonin significantly inhibited tumor growth and modulated anti‐tumor immunity by increasing CD8⁺ T cell infiltration and decreasing the regulatory T cell (Treg) proportion in the tumor microenvironment. Taken together, melatonin inhibited EMT and downregulated PD‐L1 expression in HNSCC through the ERK1/2/FOSL1 pathway and exerted synergistic effects with anti‐PD‐1 antibody in vivo, which could provide promising strategies for HNSCC treatment.     

Transperineal pelvic drainage combined with lateral position to promote perineal wound healing after abdominoperineal resection: A prospective cohort trial

Background:For the rectal cancer <5 cm from anal margin, extralevator abdominoperineal resection (eAPR) has been accepted widely by surgeons. However, the rate of perineal infection following up eAPR is approximately 70%. We did the study with the aim of evaluating the effect and safety of transperineal pelvic drainage combined with lateral position (TPDLP) on perineal wound in patients undergoing eAPR.Methods:Patients were randomly assigned to N-TPDLP group (standard arm) or TPDLP group (intervention arm). In the standard arm, surgery was completed after abdominal drainage tube was placed in pelvic. Comparatively, an additional transperineal wound drainage tube was applied in the experimental arm. Postoperatively, patients of both 2 groups were informed not to sit to reduce perineal compression until the perineal wound healed. But lateral position was demanded in the intervention arm. The primary endpoint was the rate of uncomplicated perineal wound healing defined as a Southampton wound score of <2 at 30 days postoperatively. Patients were followed for 6 months.Results:In total, 60 patients were randomly assigned to standard arm (n = 31) and intervention arm (n = 29). The mean perineal wound healing time was 34.2 (standard deviation [SD] 10.9) days in TPDLP arm, which significantly differ from 56.4 (SD 34.1) in N-TPDLP arm (P = .001). At 30 days postoperatively, 3 (10%) of 29 patients undergoing TPDLP were classified into grade 4 according to Southampton wound score, however, 16 (52%) of 31 patients were classified into grade 4 in control arm, and significantly difference was observed between randomization groups (P = .001). What''s more, perineal wound pain was assessed at 30 days postoperatively, and it is discovered that the pain degree of patients in control arm was significantly more severe than the interventive arm (P = .015).Conclusion:In the present study, we found that TPDLP generated a favorable prognosis for perineal wounds with acceptable side-effects.     

胃肠道间质瘤CD117 CD34和Ki-67的表达与临床病理因素的相关性

目的:探讨胃肠道间质瘤(gastrointestinal stromal tumor,GIST)CD117、CD34和Ki-67的表达率和表达强度及其与临床病理相关因素和危险度的关系.方法:应用免疫组化S-P法检测57例GISTs的CD117、CD34和Ki-67的表达情况,并分析上述免疫组化指标在表达率方面与临床病理相关因素(性别、年龄、发生部位)的关系.并对这些病例进行危险度分级,进一步探讨上述免疫组化指标在表达程度方面与危险度之间的关系.结果:CD117和CD34的阳性表达率分别为84.2%、71.9%.CD34阳性表达率在不同性别、年龄组之间没有显著性差异,但在肠道外GISTs阳性表达率高于肠道(P<0.05).CD117的阳性表达强度和Ki-67增殖指数在不同的危险度之间存在显著性差异(P<0.05).且CD117阳性表达强度、Ki-67增殖指数和危险度的分级呈正相关.结论:CD117和CD34在GIST中均呈高表达率,但肠道GIST诊断时,CD117的阳性表达更准确、可靠.CD117表达强度和Ki-67增殖指数和危险度的分级呈正相关,可能是判断GIST危险度的可靠指标之一.
