替米沙坦诱导大鼠肝细胞自噬促进肝脏胆固醇代谢的机制研究

目的探讨替米沙坦诱导大鼠肝细胞自噬对肝脏胆固醇代谢的影响及作用机制。方法将肝脏原代细胞分为正常对照组(Con)、替米沙坦1μmol/L组(Tel 1组)、替米沙坦3μmol/L组(Tel 3组)、替米沙坦10μmol/L组(Tel 10组)、替米沙坦10μmol/L联合PPARγ抑制剂GW 9662组(Tel+G组)。Tel 1、Tel 3、Tel 10组分别按1、3、10μmol/L浓度加入替米沙坦,Tel+G组加入10μmol/L替米沙坦及PPARγ抑制剂GW9662,培养24 h。检测肝细胞胆固醇浓度,Western blot法检测微管相关蛋白轻链3(LC3)、自噬蛋白区域(Beclin-1)、腺苷酸活化蛋白激酶(AMPK)、雷帕霉素靶分子(mTOR)表达水平。结果 Tel 3、Tel 10组胆固醇水平低于Con、Tel 1组(P<0.05)。Tel 1、Tel 3、Tel 10组LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ比值、Beclin-1蛋白水平依次升高(P<0.05)。与Con、Tel 1组比较,Tel 3、Tel 10组p-AMPK/AMPK蛋白比值升高(P<0.05),p-mTOR/mTOR蛋白比值降低(P<0.05)。与Tel 10组比较,Tel+G组胆固醇水平、p-mTOR/mTOR蛋白比值升高(P<0.05),LC3II/I比值、p-AMPK/AMPK蛋白水平降低(P<0.05)。结论替米沙坦可通过诱导大鼠肝细胞自噬影响肝脏细胞胆固醇代谢,其机制可能与激活AMPK/mTOR途径和上调PPARγ有关。     

miR-206与心血管疾病研究进展

微小RNA(microRNA,miRNA)是一大类短链非编码RNA,可以直接结合靶基因的3′非翻译区,进而影响基因表达,在心血管疾病中发挥关键作用。其中,microRNA-206(miR-206)是心脏发育和生理活动的关键调控因子,不仅可以作为诊断的标志分子,也可作为疾病治疗的定向作用点。本文综述了miR-206调节心肌细胞、内皮细胞、平滑肌细胞、自主神经细胞等细胞的基本功能,以及miR-206在冠状动脉疾病、心肌梗死、心力衰竭、心律失常、肺动脉高压等疾病发生发展中的具体作用和机制。     

131I致分化型甲状腺癌患者唾液腺辐射损伤及其防治的研究进展

131I治疗分化型甲状腺癌（DTC）的技术成熟、效果显著,是DTC患者术后综合治疗的主要方法之一,目前已被广泛应用于临床。但其造成的唾液腺辐射损伤（口干、腮腺肿痛、味觉改变等）会对DTC患者的生活质量造成一定影响。近年来,各种唾液腺辐射损伤防护剂层出不穷,但其确切疗效较为局限,且治疗方案尚未规范统一。笔者就DTC患者术后行131I治疗对唾液腺的辐射损伤及其防治的研究进展进行综述。     

糖尿病合并非酒精性脂肪性肝病的治疗进展

随着生活水平的提高和生活方式的改变,糖尿病合并非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)的发病率不断升高.虽有多种方法治疗糖尿病合并NAFLD,如生活方式的改变、增加胰岛素敏感性、抗氧化、调节血脂紊乱以及对一些风险因素的防治等,但由于其病因和发病机制尚未完全明了,仍缺乏更为有效的治疗方法.本文就近年来对糖尿病合并NAFLD的治疗进展作一综述.     

前列腺癌CK5^+CK8^+细胞的分选及其分子生物学特性

目的在人前列腺癌细胞系中分选CK5^+CK8^+细胞,了解其分子生物学特性。方法流式细胞术在人前列腺癌细胞系PC3和LNCaP中分选CK5^+CK8^+细胞,用实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和蛋白质印迹法方法检测LNCaP细胞分选的CK5^+CK8^+细胞CK5、CK8、雄激素受体(AR)和前列腺特异抗原(PSA)的表达,细胞迁移实验检测CK5^+CK8^+细胞迁移能力,琼脂糖凝胶克隆形成实验检测CK5^+CK8^+细胞成瘤能力。采用t检验进行统计学分析。结果采用流式细胞术可以在PC3中分选出(21.3±4.6)%的CK5^+CK8^+细胞,在LNCaP中分选出(1.2±0.4)%的CK5^+CK8^+细胞。与非CK5^+CK8^+细胞相比,LNCaP中分选的CK5^+CK8^+细胞CK5 mRNA表达差异有统计学意义(t=10.435,P<0.001),CK8 mRNA表达差异无统计学意义(t=1.974,P=0.121),AR和PSA mRNA表达差异有统计学意义(t=4.317,3.232;P=0.016,0.037)。蛋白质印迹法检测得到类似结果。细胞培养7 d后,CK5^+CK8^+细胞和非CK5^+CK8^+细胞均可以在Transwell小室迁移生长,迁移细胞数分别为(60±7)个和(32±5)个,2者比较差异有统计学意义(t=6.031,P=0.004)。细胞培养14 d后,CK5^+CK8^+细胞和非CK5^+CK8^+细胞均可以在软琼脂糖凝胶中克隆性生长,阳性克隆数分别为(71±5)个和(27±3)个,差异有统计学意义(t=13.009,P<0.001)。结论人前列腺癌细胞系LNCaP和PC3都可以分选出CK5^+CK8^+细胞,LNCaP中CK5^+CK8^+细胞AR和PSA均有一定程度表达,迁移和成瘤能力增强。     

Mental Health Multimorbidity among Caregivers of Older Adults During the COVID-19 Epidemic

ObjectiveTo investigate mental health status and associated factors among caregivers of older adults during the COVID-19 epidemic in China.MethodsFrom March 1 to 31, 2020, 916 caregivers of older adults participated in an online cross-sectional survey on the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. The seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) was administered to measure anxiety symptoms, the two-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2) was used to assess depressive symptoms, and a self-developed questionnaire was used to assess sleep quality and duration. Six questions about COVID-19-related experiences were used to assess community-level infection contact and the level of exposure to media information. The prevalence rates of anxiety, depression and sleep problems were computed. The Wald χ² were applied to compare the differences between subgroups. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate factors associated with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and multimorbidity.ResultsThe prevalence rates of anxiety, depression, and sleep problems were 46.8%, 29.8%, and 10.8%, respectively. Approximately 263 participants (28.7%) presented with two or more mental health problems. Being female (OR, 2.254; 95% CI, 1.510–3.363), having community-level COVID-19 contact (OR, 1.856; 95% CI, 1.189–2.898), and having a mental disorder (OR, 3.610; 95% CI, 1.644–7.930) were associated with increased risk of multimorbidity among caregivers. Caregivers who preferred positive information (OR, 0.652; 95% CI, 0.472–0.899) had reduced risk of multimorbidity.ConclusionAnxiety and depression were common among caregivers of older adults during the COVID-19 epidemic. Being female and having community-level COVID-19 contact were independent risk factors for experiencing multiple mental health problems. Preexisting mental disorders increased the risk of multimorbidity among caregivers, while enhanced access to positive media information decreased the risk of multimorbidity.     

磁共振成像评估舌鳞状细胞癌浸润深度的准确性分析

目的以光镜下病理切片为参照,分析磁共振成像(magnetic resonance imaging,MRI)测量的舌鳞状细胞癌浸润深度的准确性,为临床提供参考。方法选取2018年1月至2020年9月就诊于山西医科大学第一医院口腔科和中南大学湘雅口腔医院的73例舌鳞状细胞癌患者,术前均行MRI评估舌鳞状细胞癌浸润深度,术中冰冻病理切片再次测量舌鳞状细胞癌浸润深度。结果T1加权成像测量的舌鳞状细胞癌浸润深度较病理结果平均高估1.11 mm(95%CI=0.51~1.70,t=3.72,P<0.001),相关系数r为0.95;T2加权像平均高估2.17 mm(95%CI=1.32~3.02,t=5.10,P<0.001),相关系数r为0.92。Bland?Altman图显示T1、T2加权像与病理测量的浸润深度一致性佳。结论MRI测量的舌鳞状细胞癌浸润深度较为准确,与病理测量结果相比有平均1~2 mm的高估,其中T1加权像优于T2加权像。
