CO2点阵激光早期控制唇裂二期整复术后瘢痕的疗效观察

目的观察比较CO₂点阵激光早期控制唇裂术后二期整复术术区瘢痕的临床疗效。方法治疗组为43例接受唇裂术后鼻唇畸形二期整复术的患者，早期采用CO₂点阵激光治疗，对照组为70例曾接受一期唇裂手术的患者，对两组6个月后的瘢痕恢复情况进行比较；分析术后距离激光开始治疗时间的长短，性别两因素对激光治疗瘢痕疗效的差异。结果1）治疗组的疗效优于对照组（P<0.000 1），治疗组中显效和有效所组成的总有效率达90.7%；2）男女疗效差异无统计学意义（P=0.487），手术后1年内的患者，手术后距离开始瘢痕治疗的时间<3个月与≥3个月之间，疗效无明显统计学差异（P=0.055）。结论CO₂点阵激光在唇裂二期整复术术后瘢痕的治疗中具有较为确切的疗效。且与患者的性别无明显相关性。手术后1年内的患者，术后距离开始瘢痕治疗的时间<3个月和≥3个月疗效无差异，因此在唇裂二期手术后的1年内早期对瘢痕进行干预可获得良好的效果。     

Treatment strategies for hypertension in patients with type 1 diabetes

ABSTRACT

Introduction

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic, autoimmune disease that is characterized by total absence of insulin production. Hypertension is a common comorbidity in T1DM with complex pathophysiology, while it is also a well-recognized risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), as well as other microvascular diabetic complications.

Pharmacotherapeutic strategies for critical asthma syndrome: a look at the state of the art

ABSTRACT

Introduction

‘Critical Asthma Syndrome’ (CAS) is an umbrella term proposed to include several forms of asthma, responsible for acute and life-threatening exacerbations. CAS requires urgent and adequate supportive and pharmacological treatments to prevent serious outcomes.     

体外转染Cyclin A2基因对原代大鼠心肌细胞增殖的影响

目的探讨体外转染细胞周期素A2(Cyclin A2)基因对原代大鼠心肌细胞增殖的影响,为心脏再生提供细胞学依据。方法 SD乳鼠12只,分离、培养、鉴定原代乳鼠心肌细胞并分为3组,实验组:转染带有强化绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)和Cyclin A2基因的重组腺病毒(Ad-Cyclin A2-GFP);空病毒组:转染不含目的基因带有GFP的重组腺病毒(Ad-Null-GFP);阴性对照组:未做转染处理,仅加入等量的培养基。利用GFP示踪技术,评估原代心肌细胞转染效率;转染后的细胞继续体外培养3~5d,利用免疫荧光技术分别检测Cyclin A2、磷酸化组蛋白H3(H3P)、心肌肌钙蛋白-T(c Tn T)。结果 1.荧光GFP示踪表明原代心肌细胞的转染效率高达(97±0.74)%;2.免疫荧光标记显示,空病毒组和对照组结果相似;心肌细胞特异性标记蛋白c Tn T分布于细胞质,原代心肌细胞纯度高达(95±0.62)%;心肌细胞Cyclin A2主要在胞核内聚集,少数分布于细胞质。H3P为核蛋白在细胞核内分布。3.转染Cyclin A2后,实验组H3P阳性率明显高于空病毒组和对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05);实验组可见大量多核细胞,以双核为主,伴少量3核细胞。结论腺病毒作为转染载体对原代心肌细胞有很好的侵染效率;Cyclin A2超表达促进原代心肌细胞形成双核。     

低密度脂蛋白在2型糖尿病骨质疏松中的作用研究进展

2型糖尿病及骨质疏松已成为我国最主要的慢性代谢性疾病。2型糖尿病常伴有血脂紊乱，常表现为低密度脂蛋白升高，而越来越多的研究表明血脂通过不同的方式影响骨代谢，其机制可能是通过抑制骨髓间充质干细胞成骨分化，通过RANK/RNAKL/OPG信号通路及炎症反应调节破骨细胞等方式调节骨代谢。     

m6A去甲基化酶ALKBH5与弱精症的相关性研究

目的探究N⁶-甲基腺嘌呤(m⁶A)去甲基化酶ALKBH5与弱精症的相关性。方法收集精液标本30份,包括弱精症患者与健康者精液标本各15份,密度梯度离心纯化精子,使用液相色谱与质谱联用(LC-MS/MS)检测精子RNA的m⁶A水平,使用实时荧光定量PCR法检测ALKBH5相对表达水平。结果弱精症患者m⁶A水平明显高于健康者,ALKBH5相对表达水平低于健康者,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。精子活动度参数相关性分析结果显示,ALKBH5相对表达水平与前向运动精子数和非前向运动精子数呈正相关(r=0.512、0.377,P<0.05),与不动精子数呈负相关(r=-0.497,P<0.05);m⁶A与前向运动精子数和非前向运动精子数呈负相关(r=-0.442、-0.425,P<0.05),与不动精子数呈正相关(r=0.528,P<0.05)。结论在弱精症患者中,m⁶A及其去甲基化酶ALKBH5与精子活动度具有相关性。     

Dissecting the biological heterogeneity of HER2-positive breast cancer

HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC) is a heterogenous and multifaceted disease, with interesting therapeutic implications. First, all intrinsic molecular subtypes can be identified in HER2+ tumors, with the HER2-enriched being the most frequent. Such subtypes do not differ much from their counterparts in HER2-negative disease, apart for the high expression of genes in/near the HER2 amplicon on chromosome 17. Intrinsic subtyping, along with the quantification of ERBB2 mRNA levels, is associated with higher rates of pathologic complete response across neoadjuvant trials of dual HER2 blockade and might help select patients for de-escalation and escalation treatment strategies. Secondly, HER2+ tumors have a broad range of DNA alterations. ERBB2 mutations and alterations in the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway are among the most frequent and might predict benefit from potent pan-HER, PI3K and mTOR inhibitors. Moreover, HER2+ tumors are usually infiltrated by lymphocytes. These tumor infiltrating-lymphocytes (TILs) predict response to neoadjuvant anti-HER2-based treatment and exert a prognostic role. PD-L1, detected in ∼42 % of HER2+ BC, might also be useful to define patients responding to novel anti-PD1/PD-L1 immunotherapies. New multiparametric clinicopathologic and genomic tools accounting for this complexity, such as HER2DX, are under development to define more tailored treatment approaches. Finally, HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) such as trastuzumab deruxtecan might be active in tumors with low expression of HER2. Overall, there is a need to molecularly characterize and develop novel targeted therapies for HER2+ disease.
