Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the effects of miR-125a-3p inhibitors on the atherosclerotic plaque formation, M1/M2 macrophages, MMP-9 and VEGF.  Methods  Fifteen healthy adult male Japanese big-eared rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups with 5 rabbits in each group. Those in the control group were fed with the normal diet,, those in the atherosclerosis model group were injected with bovine serum albumin and fed with the high cholesterol diet, and those in the miR-125a-3p inhibitor intervention group were injected with miR-125a-3p to interfere with lentivirus vector. The plaque area was determined by image analysis after oil red O staining, MMP-9 and VEGF were determined by immunohistochemistry, and M1 marker CD11c and M2 marker CD206 in plaque tissues were detected by immunofluorescence.   Results  Compared with the atherosclerosis group, the percentage of plaque area in miR-125a-3p inhibitor group decreased significantly (P < 0.0001). Compared with the control group, the levels of MMP-9 (P < 0.001), VEGF (P < 0.01) and CD11c (P < 0.001) increased significantly, and the level of cd206 decreased significantly in the atherosclerosis group (P < 0.001); Compared with the atherosclerosis group, the levels of MMP-9 (P < 0.01), VEGF (P < 0.01) and CD11c (P < 0.001) decreased, and the level of cd206 increased in miR-125a-3p inhibitor intervention group (P < 0.001).  Conclusion  Inhibition of miR-125a-3p can reduce the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, balance M1/M2 macrophages, and reduce the expression of MMP-9 and VEGF in plaque tissues.miR-125a-3p may be a new target for the treatment of unstable plaques.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the effects of dose-response and time-dependent of endotoxin on the proliferation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUC-MSCs).  Methods  The hUC-MSCs were cultured in stem cell culture medium containing different concentrations of endotoxin(0.098, 0.195, 0.390, 0.780, 1.5600, 3.12, 6.250, 12.500, 25.000 and 50.000 EU/mL). CCK-8 proliferation assay was used to detect the cell proliferation at 24, 48 and 72 hours. The low concentration(0.098 EU/mL), medium concentration(1.56 EU/mL)and high concentration(25 EU/mL) of LPS were determined to promote the proliferation of hUC-MSCs, and the action time was selected for 72 hours. The effect of LPS on the proliferation of hUC-MSCs was further determined by flow cytometry.   Results  After 24, 48 hours of the treatment, it was mainly manifested by inhibiting the proliferation of hUC-MSCs. After 72 hours of the treatment, it showed a trend of promoting cell proliferation, and the promotion effect was most significant in the low concentration area, and the promotion effect was relatively weakened when the concentration increased. Further flow cytometry results suggested that the proportion of G0/G1 phase decreased, S phase and G2/M phase increased in LPS group of low concentration.  Conclusion  The dose-response and time-dependent of endotoxin have different effects on the proliferation of hUC-MSCs , and the appropriate concentration and duration of action of endotoxin are beneficial to the proliferation of hUC-MSCs.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the significance of PD-L1, BRAFV600E, CD68 protein expressions and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in the diagnosis of malignant melanoma.   Methods  High-throughput tissue microarray technology and immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expressions of PD-L1, BRAFV600E and CD68 in 60 primary malignant melanoma tissues. The relationship between PD-L1, BRAFV600E, CD68 expressions, TIL and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients was analyzed.   Results   (1) There was a statistically significant difference between CD68 expression in malignant melanoma tissue and tumor T stage (P = 0.018), but no statistical difference between tumor size, tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis and ulceration (P > 0.05). (2) There was no significant difference between PD-L1, BRAFV600E, TIL and tumor T stage, tumor size, tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis and ulceration (P > 0.05). (3) The mutation rate of BRAFV600E in cutaneous melanoma was about 36.67% (22/60). The mutation rate of BRAFV600E in cutaneous acral melanoma was about 68.18%. (15/22). The mutation rate of BRAFV600E in mucosal melanoma was about 23.33% (14/60). (4) Cox regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis was the prognostic factor of malignant melanoma patients.   Conclusion   (1) The expression of CD68 protein may play a role in determining the prognosis of patients. (2) BRAFV600E immunohistochemical detection is recommended for melanoma in the skin. (3) The presence of lymph node metastasis in patients can be used as a reference index for the prognosis of malignant melanoma.

Abstract:
  Objective  To provide the guidance for the management of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by analyzing the similarities and differences between them.   Methods   The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) was used to assess the prevalence and severity of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia in 71 patients with AD and 31 patients with MCI from Yunnan Province compared with 70 normal controls.   Results  The incidence and severity of depression, anxiety, and irritability were not significantly different between the AD and MCI groups (P > 0.05), whereas they were higher in the MCI group than in the normal control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of apathy between AD and MCI groups (P > 0.05), and the severity of apathy was higher in the AD group than that in the MCI group (P < 0.05). However, the incidence and severity of apathy in the MCI group were higher than those in normal controls (P < 0.05). The NPI total score and the incidence or severity of the remaining symptoms were higher in the AD group than in the MCI group (P < 0.05), whereas there were no significant differences in the incidence or severity between the MCI group and normal controls (P > 0.05).   Conclusion  The overall BPSD of AD patients is more severe than that of MCI patients, while the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and irritability are not different between AD and MCI patients. MCI is at the transition stage of cognitive changes between normal aging and AD, and MCI patients with these symptoms need to be paid attention to and intervened early.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the relationships of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and serum amyloid A (SAA) with the premature rupture of membranes.   Methods   Thirty cases of premature rupture of fetal membranes, 30 cases of full-term premature rupture of fetal membranes and 30 cases of full-term pregnancies were chosen as controls. The levels of MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9 and SAA in the peripheral blood of the three groups of pregnant women were measured by ELISA. The placental tissues of the three groups of pregnant women were examined pathologically to determine the presence of histological chorioamnionitis.   Results   (1) The levels of MMP-1 and SAA of PPROM and PROM groups were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). After the comparison, MMP-1 and SAA of the PPROM group were significantly more than those of the PROM group (P < 0.05). However, the content of MMP-3 in PPROM group was significantly higher than that in PROM group and the control group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the concentration between PROM group and the control group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the concentration of MMP-9 among the three groups (P > 0.05). (2) 70% (21/30) in the PROM group, 33.3% (10/30) in the PROM group and 33.3% (10/30) in the control group. The histological positivity rate of placenta in the PPROM group was elevated compaired with that in the PROM and control groups, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 10.841, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the PROM and control groups (P > 0.05).   Conclusion   Serum MMP-1, MMP-3 and SAA are closely associated with the premature rupture of membranes complicated by early chorioamnionitis.

Abstract(3219) HTML PDF(21)
Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the correlation factors of late-onset breast-feeding jaundice (LBMJ), and provide the reference for the study of LBMJ etiology.   Methods  102 full-term breast-fed infants aged 0-6 months from the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were selected as the participants of this study and according to their defecation frequency they were divided respectively into defecation frequency increased group or group A, i.e. defecation > 3 times / D ( n = 37), decreased defecation frequency group or group B, i.e. one defecation in more than 4 days (n = 34) and the normal group or group C, i.e. defecating once within 3 days or 3 times a day (n = 31). All the infants with jaundice were LBMJ and the correlation between LBMJ and defecation frequency, age and feeding frequency was analyzed.   Results  1. There was a statistical difference between the age of exclusively breast-fed infants and their different defecation frequency (Hc =7.8007, P = 0.0202). There was no significant difference between the change of defecation frequency and the absence of LBMJ (χ2 = 5.8649, P = 0.0533), but the incidence of LBMJ increased with the increase of defecation frequency (χ2 =5.7593, P = 0.0164). 2. LBMJ was positively correlated with the defecation frequency and feeding frequency in infants, and the above factors were negatively correlated with the age of infants.   Conclusion  The younger the infants aged from 0 to 6 months, the more frequent the breastfeeding, the more frequent the defecation and the higher the incidence of LBMJ. In addition, the enhancement of bilirubin enterohepatic circulation pathway in LBMJ has little correlation with the increased defecation frequency in infants.

Abstract:
  Objective   To analyze and study the genotyping and drug resistance mutation sites of hepatitis B patients with low viral load in Kunming, so as to determine the difficulty of clinical antiviral treatment for low viral load hepatitis B patients and formulate individualized antiviral precision medicine programs.   Methods   A total of 1452 chronic hepatitis B patients with low viral load (HBV DNA < 2.0×10 3 IU/mL) were selected for hepatitis B typing and drug resistance gene loci detection.   Results   The proportion of HBeAg-negative patients in the low-load hepatitis B population in Kunming was higher (59.5%), and the proportion of male patients (70.6%) was higher than that of female patients. The age distribution was mainly 30-60 years old (72.7%). Genotyping The C genotype accounted for the highest proportion (61.8%). Among the 1 452 low-load hepatitis B patients in Kunming area, a total of 37 patients were detected with drug-resistant mutation sites. The drug resistance rates of lamivudine and emtricitabine were consistent (1.6%), and the drug resistance rate of telbivudine was the same 1.2%, adefovir resistance rate was 0.9%, entecavir resistance rate was 0.2%, and tenofovir resistance mutation sites were not detected. In addition to drug resistance mutation sites, 112 other mutation sites were also detected, among which S256G, S213T, N/H238T/D, Q215H had the highest detection rate, and the mutation site with the lowest detection rate was A194T.   Conclusion   The hepatitis B genotype in Kunming is mainly C type, which indicates that the distribution of HBV genotype in this area has independent characteristics. The resistance rate of entecavir in patients with hepatitis B with low viral load in Kunming area was the lowest, and TDF resistance was not found, but their sensitivity to tenofovir dipivoxil decreased. There is still some controversy whether the detected other mutation sites are related to drug resistance, but the detection rate also has a certain proportion.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the association between neonatal Hyperthyrotropinemia (HT) and perinatal risk factors.   Methods  A case-control study was conducted among 109 newborns with HT (case group) and 127 newborns without HT (control group) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from Jan. 2016 to Dec. 2020. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the perinatal risk factors to neonatal HT.   Results  Univariate analysis indicated that the incidence of advanced maternal age and preterm delivery in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced maternal age (OR = 2.320, 95%CI: 1.099~4.897)and preterm delivery (OR = 2.960, 95%CI: 1.354~6.473) increased the risk of neonatal HT.   Conclusion  Advanced maternal age and preterm delivery were the independent perinatal risk factors for neonatal HT. Efforts should be made to provide high quality pregnancy care, decrease the perinatal risk factors of neonatal HT, and to reduce the incidence of neonatal HT.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the correlation of early serum uric acid fluctuations in patients after the bariatric surgery.   Methods  From January 2021 to June 2022, 80 patients with the metabolic syndrome who were admitted to Yan'an Hospital of Kunming and completed the follow-up one month after the surgery were selected as the objective of this research experiment.And according to the serum uric acid index one month after the surgery, they were divided into group A with the increase of serum uric acid after the operation and group B with the decrease of serum uric acid after the operation. The BMI value and the changes of various biochemical indexes were compared between the two groups before and after the bariatric surgery.   Results  Surgery method, postoperative protein intake, aerobic exercise and water intake were not the reasons for the fluctuation of serum uric acid in patients after weight loss(P > 0.05), and the changes in liver function also could not explain the changes in patients 1 month after weight loss(P > 0.05). The changes of blood sugar and triglyceride were the main reasons for the fluctuation of postoperative blood uric acid(P < 0.05). The greater the decrease in triglycerides after the surgery, the less likely the increase in uric acid will occur.In addition, the increase of blood uric acid at 1 month after operation was greater than the decrease of blood uric acid after the operation, and the change of blood uric acid was correlated with the change of serum creatinine and monocyte/high-density lipoprotein(MHR)(P < 0.05). The correlation coefficients were 0.204 and 0.511 respectively.respectively.   Conclusion  The changes of triglyceride and blood sugar in the early postoperative period are the reasons for the increase or decrease of blood uric acid in patients with weight loss after the surgery, and the changes of blood uric acid are mainly affected by creatinine and monocyte/high density.

Abstract:
  Purpose  To investigate whether a virtual reality game can reduce the chronic nonspecific low back pain and help patients recover.   Methods  In this randomized controlled trial, the patients with the chronic nonspecific low back pain were taken as the experimental group (n = 40) and underwent a period of exercise in an immersive virtual reality game, while those performed the same exercises without VR games were taken as the control group (n = 40) so as to investigate whether VR distraction had a hypoalgesia effect during and immediately after the exercises, and whether it reduced the time spent thinking of pain during the exercises. Thereafter, we further explored whether pain-related fear, pain catastrophizing and baseline pain intensity moderated the effects of VR distraction.   Results  The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the pain intensity among the patients of the experimental group was the main effect, and time and pain intensity had an interactive effect. The time to think about pain during the exercise was significantly less than that of the control group (Experimental group M = 32.26, SD = 12.32; Control group M = 51.21, SD = 17.18; t80 = 5.80, P < 0.0001), both had an analgesic effect during the exercise (Cohen’s d = 0.86) and after the exercise (Cohen’s d = 0.46). The results of analysis of variance showed that fear of pain, catastrophic pain, and initial pain intensity all have the main effects, but there was no interaction on thinking time (all p values > 0.05), and it was believed that it did not affect the distracting analgesic effect of virtual reality.   Conclusion  Virtual reality is effective in distracting attention and inducing pain reduction and it indicates that immersive virtual reality games can be used to relieve the pain of patients with chronic non-specific low back pain during the exercise and help them recover their health.

Abstract(4112) HTML PDF(36)
Abstract:
  Objective   To analyze PLA2G1B gene expression, prognosis, immunologic features and potential therapeutic effects in patients with lung adenocarcinoma, based on the data-mining of public databases.   Methods  Data from TCGA and GEO database of LUAD were collected, including gene expression matrix and clinical data. The overall survival (OS) rate was compared between these two groups of PLA2G1B high expressed and low expressed. CIBERSORT algorithm was introduced to calculate totally 22 immune cells infiltration level and their difference was also compared between PLA2G1B high and low groups. Finally, pRRophetic was used to find some drugs that were probably sensitive to the worse OS groups.   Results  PLA2G1B was down regulated in LUAD samples and the lower expression of PLA2G1B led to a worse OS in LUAD, this result was validated in two independent GEO cohorts. After adjusting three main clinical elements, PLA2G1B was proved to be an independent prognosis biomarker (P < 0.05). For the worse OS group, we also found its immune infiltration level was lower than the better OS group, especially for B cell memory, T cell CD4+ memory resting, Monocyte, Myeloid dendritic cell and Mast activated cells. For the worse OS group, we found they might be more sensitive to several chemo drugs including Cisplatin, Docetaxel, Etoposide, Gemcitabine, Paclitaxeland Vinorelbine.   Conclusion  PLAG21B is an independent prognosis biomarker in LUAD and the ones low expressed showed worse OS and lower immune infiltration level.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the clinical effect of multimodality microsurgery on recurrent gliomas, and to explore the diagnosis and treatment of recurrent gliomas.  Methods  Data of 28 patients with recurrent GLIOMAS who underwent reoperation from September 2017 to December 2020 in the Department of Neurosurgery of a tertiary grade A hospital in Kunming were collected and analyzed retrospectively, After the reoperation, the Karnofsky neurological function score (KPS) was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy, and the imaging data was used to evaluate the degree of tumor resection, the postoperative comparison of pathological changes of recurrent glioma, postoperative adjuvant treatment, follow-up patient survival time and other overall effects. Graphpad Prism (V8.4.2.679) software was used to analyze the data and graph. The difference in KPS scores before and after the operation was tested in pairs.   Results  28 patients were treated with reoperations to varying degrees. Postoperative imaging confirmed that 21 cases of tumors were totally resected, 5 cases were subtotal resected, and 2 cases had tumor biopsy. Postoperative complications occurred in 22 patients. The clinical symptoms before discharge were improved in 24 cases compared with that before the operation, with an improvement rate of 85.7%. The mean KPS score was 66.07 ± 7.37 before the operation and 72.14 ± 11.00 one month after the operation.The differences were statistically significant. Postoperative pathology showed the progression of Malignancy in 8 cases. The mean survival time of 28 patients were (7.98 ± 6.42) months and the longest survival time were 24 months.  Conclusion  The combined application of multi-modality and multi-technique microsurgery is a relatively minimally invasive and effective treatment for recurrent glioma. The surgical effect is good, and it can be used as an option for surgical resection of recurrent glioma.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the influence and relationship of prepregnancy weight and pregnancy weight gain on pregnancy complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes, and to provide the evidence for the pregnancy health care, reducing pregnancy complications and improving maternal and infant outcomes.   Methods  According to the retrospective study method, 603 singleton live pregnancies who were hospitalized and delivered in People’s Hospital of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), hypertension and other diseases and fetal macrosomia during January 2020 to January 2022 were collected. According to the prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) criteria, they were divided into the low weight group (n = 31), normal weight group (n = 365), super weight group (n = 146), obesity group (n = 61), underweight gain group (n = 163), normal weight gain group (n = 230) and excessive weight gain group (n = 210): The pregnancy complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as cesarean section rate, shoulder dystocia, birth rate of macrosomia, low birth weight infants, and admission rate to NICU were compared and analyzed.  Results  Prepregnancy maternal obesity was the influencing factor of preeclampsia. The incidence of preeclampsia, cesarean section, preterm delivery, low birth weight and NICU transfer increased with the increase of BMI before the pregnancy, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, preeclampsia and cesarean section increased with the increase of GWG, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).   Conclusion  High BMI before the pregnancy and excessive weight gain during the pregnancy can increase the incidence of pregnancy complications and lead to the increase in the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. We should further strengthen the management and education of pregnant women’s weight during the pregnancy, and carry out whole-process intervention on weight during the pregnancy.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on thyroid function, autoimmune antibody and serum 25 (OH) D levels in female patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) in the reproductive age.   Methods   94 childbearing age females with AT and admitted to the department of endocrinology of our hospital from January 2019 to August 2021 were enrolled as subjects. According to random number table method, they were randomly assigned to two groups, the control group (n = 47) and the study group (n = 47), and the parallel control were conducted. All the subjects received the instruction of life style and diet style, the study group received the oral Thyroid hormone and Vitamin D therapy, while the control group only received the oral Thyroid hormone therapy. Thereafter, serum Thyroid hormone levels (FT3, TSH and FT4), thyroid autoantibodies (TRAb, TPO-Ab) and 25 (OH) D were measured and compared between the two groups at different stages.   Results  (1)Thyroid function: Compared with the situation before the treatment, serum FT3, TSH and FT4 were improved to varying degrees in 2 groups after 6 months of treatment (P < 0.01), the serum TSH content in the study group was apparently higher than that in the control group [(2.34±0.33) μIU/mL VS (2.19±0.36) μIU/mL], and the results were statistically significant (P < 0.05). (2) Thyroid autoimmune antibody: After 6 months of treatment, serum TRAb and TPO-Ab levels in the study group were evidently better, compared to the control group [(0.56±0.38) U/L VS (4.35±1.71) U/L; (35.71±8.85) U/mL VS (77.41±19.91) U/mL] (P < 0.01), lower than TRAb and TPO-Ab levels before treatment and 3 months after the treatment (P < 0.01). (3) Serum 25 (OH)D level: Compared with the situation before the treatment, the serum 25 (OH)D level of the study group increased significantly after 6 months of treatment (P < 0.05), evidently better than that in the control group [(61.91±8.73) ng/mL VS (10.79±3.16) ng/mL] (P < 0.05).   Conclusion  Vitamin D supplementation can significantly improve serum 25 (OH) D level and autoimmune antibody titer in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis in the short term (6 months), but the effect on Thyroid hormone levels is not obvious and it can be used as an adjunctive treatment for autoimmune thyroiditis patientswith low vitamin D level.

Abstract:
S-nitrosylation modification is a selective and reversible post-translational modification of protein by high concentration of nitric oxide (NO), which is related to a variety of cellular processes and tissue homeostasis. Most digestive system tumors interact with the development of inflammation. The body induces a great deal of NO in an inflammatory state and NO can modify the substrate protein S-nitrosylation. At present, it has been found that the expression of S-nitrosylation of proteins in a variety of cancer tissues is abnormal. Relevant studies at home and abroad show that the relationship between S-nitrosylation and tumor occurrence and development has become a current research focus. By briefly describing the mechanism of protein S-nitrosylation imbalance in the occurrence and development of different digestive system tumors and treatments,this review concludes that S-nitrosylation imbalance in different digestive system tumors can promote or inhibit the development of tumors through the S-nitrosylation of different proteins and aims to tap the therapeutic potential of S-nitrosylation level in digestive system tumors.

Abstract(2716) HTML PDF(32)
Abstract:
Placenta plays an important role in the process of glucose transfer from maternal to fetus. The normal structure and function of the placenta guarantee the fetus to take up glucose effectively from maternal side over the gestation. Glucose transplacental transfer mainly depends on the glucose transporters (GLUTs). And the placenta and other factors such as placental glucose metabolic activity could also affect the glucose transplacental transfer. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a main complication of pregnancy. Fetal adverse outcomes from GDM patients may be caused by the abnormality of glucose transport in the placenta. This review aims to discuss the glucose transplacental transfer on the normal placenta and summarize some changes and molecular mechanism that have been reported about glucose transplacental transfer in the GDM.
