Methods A total of 40 patients with anemia in maintenance hemodialysis treated between December 2008 and June 2010 were randomly divided into Shengxuening piece group and capsule polysaccharide-iron complex group; the patients were observed for 8 weeks. Hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation (TSAT) and other indicators were detected before treatment four and eight weeks after the treatment. While patients were used recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) according to 100-120 U/(kg·week), twice subcutaneous injection. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference between the two groups. Hb, Hct, SF and TSAT increased significantly after treatment in both of the groups and specially in the Shengxuening piece group. After the treatment, the difference in the adverse reaction between the two groups was not significant. Conclusions Both oral iron can effectively correct the hemodialysis patients with iron deficiency and anemia. However, Shengxuening has more significant role and may reduce the use of erythropoietin in patients with hemodialysis.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the expression level of histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) tissues, to analyze its correlations with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of LUSC patients, and to explore the effect it exerts on the proliferation of LUSC cells.MethodsThe expression level of HDAC9 was detected by immunohistochemistry staining (IHC), and its correlations with clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed by χ2 test. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model were employed to analyze independent predictors for overall survival (OS) of LUSC patients. CRISPR/dCas9 activation system was used to activate the transcription of HDAC9 gene in LUSC cell line EBC-1. CCK8 cell proliferation assay and colony formation test were performed to investigate the effect that transcriptional activation of HDAC9 exerts on the proliferation of LUSC cells.ResultsOf the 129 LUSC patients, 39 (30.2%) were in the HDAC9 low expression group and 90 (69.8%) were in the HDAC9 high expression group. The OS of the patients with HDAC9 high expression was shorter than that of patients with HDAC9 low expression (P=0.032). The expression level of HDAC9 was associated with tumor grade (P=0.035), primary tumor size (P=0.041), and lymph node metastasis (P=0.013). The expression level of HDAC9 (P=0.023), tumor grade (P=0.003), primary tumor size (P=0.003), and lymph node metastasis (P=0.002) were independent predictors for OS of LUSC patients. Transcriptional activation of HDAC9 promoted colony formation of LUSC cells and cell proliferating curves showed that LUSC cells with HDAC9 transcriptional activation proliferated faster than non-targeting cells (F=52.7, P=0.002).ConclusionLUSC patients with HDAC9 high expression have poorer prognosis than HDAC9 low expression ones. The expression level of HDAC9 is associated with tumor grade, primary tumor size, and lymph node metastasis, and is identified as an independent predictor for prognosis of LUSC. Transcriptional activation of HDAC9 promotes cell proliferation in LUSC. These results suggest that HDAC9 may serve as a promising biomarker for prognosis in LUSC.

Objective To evaluate the prognosis of different node status on the basis of the eighth TNM classification for lung cancer. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 1 851 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent radical resection between January 2005 and December 2014. There were 1 078 males and 773 females at age of 16–86 (59.7±9.7) years. Survival probability was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and significance was assessed by the log-rank test. Results This cohort study was consisted of 1 209 patients with N0, 305 with N1 and 337 with N2. N0 patients were divided into a N0a group and a N0b group according to whether the 13 and 14 level of lymph nodes were examined. The survival rate of the N0a group was significantly higher than that of the N0b group, and the 5-year survival rate was 88.9% and 81.3% (P<0.001), respectively. According to the number of lymph node metastasis stations, N1 was divided into a N1a (single) group and a N1b (multiple) group. And no significant difference was observed between the two groups in survival rate (P=0.562). Based on the presence of lymph nodes of 10–12 level, N1 was divided into a negative group and a positive group. And the negative group was found with significantly higher survival rate than the positive group (5-year survival rate of 78.4% vs. 64.3%, P=0.007). The N2 patients were divided into a single station metastasis group (a N2a1 group), a single station with N1 positive group (a N2a2 group) and a multiple station group (a N2b group), and the percentage was accounted for 22.0% (74/337), 37.7% (127/337) and 40.3% (136/337), respectively. There was a statistical difference in 5-year survival rate (62.2% vs. 56.5% vs. 37.3%) among the three groups (P=0.001). Conclusion Subgroup analysis of N staging in NSCLC patients shows significant survival differences which may be more consistent with multidisciplinary therapy under precise staging patterns.
Objective To investigate whether postoperative therapy can bring survival benefits to patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with TP regimen. Methods We retrospectively reviewed clinical data of 115 patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with TP regimen and underwent esophagectomy in our hospital from January 2007 through December 2016. Patients were divided into two groups including a non-receiving treatment group (54 patients with 47 males and 7 females) and a receiving treatment group (61 patients with 52 males and 9 females). There were 31 patients with postoperative chemotherapy, 14 with postoperative radiotherapy, and 16 with postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the receiving treatment group. Results In the non-receiving treatment group, the 5-year median disease free survival (DFS) rate was 54.7%, and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 55.3%. In the receiving treatment group, the median DFS was 46.0 months (95% CI 22.9–69.1), the 5-year DFS rate was 42.3%; and the median OS was 68.0 months (95% CI 33.0–103.0), the 5-year OS rate was 51.3%. Furthermore, there was no statistical difference between the two groups with regards to DFS (P=0.641) or OS (P=0.757) using Kaplan-Meier method. Besides, in each subgroup, the results of Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed postoperative treatment did not improve survival (P>0.05, respectively). Conclusion Postoperative treatment does not bring survival benefits to patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with TP regimen.
Objective To explore the effect of chloral hydrate on sleep Electroencephalogram (EEG) in children. Methods A total of 250 children under the age of 5 underwent EEG examination in West China Second University Hospital from Nov.8, 2019 to Sep.1,2021 were enrolled and divided into medication group or non-medication group according to whether they took chloral hydrate before the examination. Among them, 167 patients, the average age of whom was (30.78±17.43) months, were in the medication group, with a male to female ratio of 113:54. 83 cases were in the unmedicated group, the ratio of male to female was 60:23, and the average age was (33.12±17.10) months. There were no statistical difference in age and gender between the two groups. Quantitative EEG method was used to compare and analyze the percentages of the power of various EEG waveforms in the two groups. Results The proportion of EEG beta waves in the medication group was (2.76±4.03)%, and the proportion of EEG beta waves in the non-medication group was (1.59±1.21)%. There was a significant difference between the two groups. The proportion of sleep EEG beta waves in the medication group is higher. Conclusions Chloral hydrate may cause the increase of β fast waves in sleep EEG, which may affect the interpretation of EEG and the diagnosis of diseases.
Objective To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) - derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) on lung tissue injury in mice with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods A total of 24 specific pathogen free grade male C57BL/6 mice and primary mouse lung microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) were selected. The mice were divided into sham group, SAP group, and BMSC group, with 8 mice in each group. The mouse primary PMVECs were divided into model group [sodium taurocholate (NaTC) group], BMSC-EV group, and control group. Extraction and characterization of healthy mouse BMSCs and their derived extracellular vesicles (BMSC-EVs) were conducted. A mouse model of SAP was established, and BMSC-EVs were injected into SAP mice by tail vein or intervened in PMVECs in vitro, to observe the pathological damage of pancreatic and lung tissues, the changes of serum amylase, lipase, and inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6)], the expression of inflammatory factors of lung tissues and PMVECs, and the endothelial cell barrier related proteins [E-cadherin, ZO-1, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)], and tight junctions between PMVECs to explore the effects of BMSC-EVs on pancreatic and lung tissues in SAP mice and PMVECs in vitro. Results BMSCs had the potential for osteogenic, chondrogenic, and lipogenic differentiation, and the EVs derived from them had a typical cup-shaped structure with a diameter of 60-100 nm. BMSC-EVs expressed the extracellular vesicle-positive proteins TSG101 and CD63 and did not express the negative protein Calnexin. Compared with the mice in the sham group, the SAP mice underwent significant pathological damage to the pancreas (P<0.05), and their serum amylase, lipase, inflammatory factor IL-6, and TNF-α levels were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05); whereas, BMSC-EVs markedly ameliorated the pancreatic tissue damage in the SAP mice (P<0.05), down-regulated the levels of peripheral serum amylase, lipase, IL-6 and TNF-α (P<0.05), and up-regulated the level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 (P<0.05). In addition to this, the SAP mice showed significant lung histopathological damage (P<0.05), higher neutrophils and macrophages infiltration (P<0.05), higher levels of the inflammatory factors TGF-β and IL-6 (P<0.05), as well as reduced barrier protein E-cadherin, ZO-1 expression and elevated expression of ICAM-1 (P<0.05). BMSC-EVs significantly ameliorated lung histopathological injury, inflammatory cells infiltration, inflammatory factor levels, and expression of barrier proteins, and suppressed ICAM-1 expression (P<0.05). In the in vitro PMVECs experiments, it was found that intercellular tight junctions were broken in the NaTC group, and the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), the protein expression of E-cadherin and ZO-1 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), and the expression of ICAM-1 was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). BMSC-EVs significantly improved intercellular tight junctions in the NaTC group and inhibited the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 (P<0.05), up-regulated the expression of the barrier proteins E-cadherin and ZO-1, and down-regulated the expression of ICAM-1 (P<0.05). Conclusion BMSC-derived EVs ameliorate lung tissue injury in SAP mice by restoring the lung endothelial cell barrier and inhibiting inflammatory cell infiltration.
Objective To observe and describe anatomical types of the pulmonary arteries to keep safety of lung resection. Methods Between November 25, 2005 and January 22, 2013, 194 patients who underwent right upper lobectomy/sleeve lobectomy or combined lung resection including right upper lobectomy were included in Peking University Cancer Hospital. There were 128 males with a median age of 59 (37-86) years and 66 females with a median age of 60 (42-77) years. We separated the pulmonary arteries and recorded the number and positions of them. Some patients were recorded photographically. Results There were 10 types of right upper lobe pulmonary artery branches in this study. Type 1: 1 apicoanterior segmental artery, 1 ascending segmental artery, 96 patients (49.5%); Type 2: 1 apicoanterior segmental artery, 2 ascending segmental arteries, 48 patients (24.7%); Type 3: 2 apicoanterior segmental arteries, 1 ascending segmental artery, 28 patients (14.4%); Type 4: 2 apicoanterior segmental arteries, 2 ascending segmental arteries, 9 patients (4.6%); Type 5: 1 apicoanterior segmental artery only, 6 patients (3.1%); Type 6: 1 apicoanterior segmental artery, 3 ascending segmental arteries, 3 patients (1.5%); Type 7: 4 apicoanterior segmental arteries, 1 ascending segmental artery, 1 patient (0.5%); Type 8: 3 apicoanterior segmental arteries, 1 ascending segmental artery, 1 patient (0.5%); Type 9: 2 apicoanterior segmental arteries, 1 patient (0.5%); Type 10: 3 apicoanterior segmental arteries, 2 ascending segmental arteries, 1 patient (0.5%). Conclusion The types of pulmonary artery branches are predictable in some way. It would be helpful to reduce the risk of pulmonary artery injury and improve the operation safety by following the rules. Variations of pulmonary artery should be noticed to avoid the major bleeding due to the pulmonary artery injury.
