    Abstract: It has been reported that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have capacity to migrate to the damaged liver and contribute to fibrogenesis in chronic liver diseases. 15-Deoxy-Δ 12,14 -prostaglandin J 2 (15d-PGJ 2 ), an endogenous ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR γ ), is considered a new inhibitor of cell migration. However, the actions of 15d-PGJ 2 on BMSC migration remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of 15d-PGJ 2 on the migration of BMSCs using a mouse model of chronic liver fibrosis and primary mouse BMSCs. Our results demonstrated that in vivo , 15d-PGJ 2 administration inhibited the homing of BMSCs to injured liver by flow cytometric analysis and, in vitro , 15d-PGJ 2 suppressed primary BMSC migration in a dose-dependent manner determined by Boyden chamber assay. Furthermore, the repressive effect of 15d-PGJ 2 was blocked by reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitor, but not PPAR γ antagonist, and action of 15d-PGJ 2 was not reproduced by PPAR γ synthetic ligands. In addition, 15d-PGJ 2 triggered a significant ROS production and cytoskeletal remodeling in BMSCs. In conclusion, our results suggest that 15d-PGJ 2 plays a crucial role in homing of BMSCs to the injured liver dependent on ROS production, independently of PPAR γ , which may represent a new strategy in the treatment of liver fibrosis.

    Abstract: Ovarian metastasis of gastric cancer indicates that the disease has reached the late stage and the opportunity for radical surgery is restricted. However, the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer ovarian metastasis (GCOM) remain to be illustrated. Here, we retrieved the information of 780 GCOM cases from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEERs) database and analyzed their clinicopathological characteristics as well as their survival. According to our data, most GCOM patients showed poor pathological differentiation, advanced T and N stages. The prognostic factors include patients’ age, tumor size, surgical resection, and chemotherapy treatment. Of note, the marriage status was also identified as an independent prognostic factor. Besides the identification of prognostic factors, we established nomograms to help predict the overall survival and cancer-specific survival of GCOM, respectively.

    Abstract: Myocardial fibrosis is a critical factor in the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Linggui Qihua decoction (LGQHD) is an experienced formula, which has been proven to be effective on HFpEF in clinical and in experiments. Objective. This study aimed to observe the effect of LGQHD on HFpEF and its underlying mechanism. Methods. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were induced with high-glucose and high-fat to establish HFpEF models and were treated with LGQHD for 8 weeks. The heart structure was detected by echocardiography, and the histopathological changes of the myocardium were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson staining. Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein expression of the target gene in rat myocardium. Results. In this study, LGQHD improved cardiac morphology and atrial fibrosis in HfpEF rats, decreased tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) mRNA expression, up-regulated matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) mRNA expression, and inhibited the expression of angiotensin II (Ang II), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), Smad2/3 mRNA, and protein in myocardial tissue of HFpEF rats. Conclusion. LGQHD can suppress atrial fibrosis in HFpEF by modulating the TGF-β1/Smad2/3 pathway.

    Abstract: Objective . To report the experience of a percutaneous technique for retrieving fractured peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) segments migrating into the heart or the pulmonary artery. Method . From April 2013 to July 2015, we performed percutaneous retrieval of fractured PICC segments migrating into the heart or the pulmonary artery in five cancer patients who had undergone chemotherapy via PICC. The fractures were diagnosed with chest plain radiography. The patients included three cases of breast cancer, one case of rectal cancer, and one case of lower limb Ewing’s tumor. The fractures were retained in the vessels of the patients for 1 to 3 days. All the fractures were retrieved by using a novel two-step technique in the digital subtraction angiography (DSA) suite. This two-step technique involves inserting a pigtail catheter to the heart or the pulmonary artery to grasp the fractured catheter fragment and bring it to the lower segment of the inferior vena cava, followed by grasping and removing the catheter fragment with a retrieval loop system of the vena cava filter retrieval set. Result . The fractured PICC segments were removed successfully in all five patients via unilateral (four patients) or bilateral (one patient) femoral vein access. No complications occurred during the interventional procedure. Conclusion . Percutaneous retrieval can be a safe, convenient, and minimally invasive method for the removal of fractured PICC segments. The technique reported in this paper will be applicable for the retrieval of fractured PICC segments and other catheter fragments migrating into the heart or the pulmonary artery.

    Abstract: Objective. To investigate that HOTTIP suppressed PTEN gene expression and was involved in IM resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia through recruitment of EZH2 protein. Methods. Seventy-one cases of bone marrow monocytes diagnosed with CML in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2018 to 2021 were selected. These patients were diagnosed with CML by bone marrow morphology, immunology, molecular biology, and cytogenetics, of which 36 were sensitive to IM and 35 were resistant to IM. We selected K562 and IR-K562 cells preserved in the laboratory as our subjects to study the expression levels of HOTTIP in the bone marrow cells of IM CML-resistant patients and IM-resistant cells. Results. In this study, we found that HOTTIP was highly expressed in the bone marrow and cell lines of CML patients resistant to Imatinib mesylate (IM). In in vitro experiments, lentiviral knockdown of HOTTIP inhibited CML cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis, and knockdown of HOTTIP also increased sensitivity to IM. Mechanistically, highly expressed HOTTIP is involved in the biological process of IM resistance by recruiting Zeste homologous protein 2 enhancer (EZH2) to inhibit the expression of phosphatase and Tensin homologous protein (PTEN) genes. Conclusions. We confirmed that HOTTIP and EZH2 are highly expressed in IM-resistant patients and IM-resistant CML cell lines. In CML cell lines, HOTTIP is involved in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of CML cells and resistance to IM.

    Abstract: Objective. Hypoxia presents a salient feature investigated in most solid tumors that holds key roles in cancer progression, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Here, we aimed to construct a hypoxia-derived gene signature for identifying the high-risk GBM patients to guide adjuvant therapy and precision nursing based on signs of hypoxia. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed the transcriptome profiling and clinicopathological characteristics of GBM from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) cohorts. A series of bioinformatic and machine learning methods were comprehensively applied for establishing a hypoxia-derived gene signature in prediction of overall survival, disease-free survival, disease-specific survival, and progression-free survival. The predictive efficacy of this model was assessed with receiver operator characteristic (ROC) and uni- and multivariate cox regression analysis. The associations of this signature with tumor microenvironment and immunotherapeutic response predictors were evaluated across GBM. RT-qPCR and western blotting were presented for validating the expression of ALDH3B1 and CTSZ in human glioma cell lines (U251, SHG-44, and U87) and normal glial cell line HEB. Results. Among hallmarks of cancer, hypoxia acted as a prominent risk factor of GBM prognosis. A hypoxia-derived gene signature displayed efficient ability in predicting clinical outcomes. High risk score indicated undesirable prognosis, recurrence, and progression of GBM. Moreover, this risk score displayed positive correlations to immunity and stromal activation. Combining immunotherapeutic response predictors, high-risk patients more benefited from immunotherapy. ALDH3B1 and CTSZ expression had prominent upregulation in glioma cells than normal glial cells. Conclusion. Collectively, this hypoxia-derived gene signature could become a reliable biomarker for predicting prognosis and therapeutic response and providing theoretical support for hypoxia treatment and precision nursing of GBM patients.

    Abstract: Comparative analysis whether considering the lateral inertia or not, aiming at the longitudinal vibration of the drill string in drilling progress, is proposed. In the light of the actual condition, the mechanical model of the drill string about vibration is established on the basis of the theoretical analysis. Longitudinal vibration equation of the drill string is derived from the Rayleigh-Love model and one-dimensional viscoelastic model. According to the Laplace transform method and the relationships among parameters of the model, the solutions to complex impedance at the bottom of the drill string are obtained, and then the comparison results are analyzed, which is the lateral inertia effect on longitudinal vibration characteristics. The researches show that the smaller the length of the drill string, the greater the cross-sectional area of the drill string, the greater the damping coefficient of bottom hole on the bottom of the drill string, and the more evident the effect on the dynamic stiffness of the drill string with lateral inertia effect. The Poisson ratio of the drill string only has some effects on it taking account of the lateral inertia effect, and the influence is relatively small compared with the former three conditions.

    Abstract: Whether oil emplacement and diagenetic sequences provoke, deteriorate, or have no effect on pore network evolution, as implied by recent tests and theoretical analysis, are critical factors in forecasting hydrocarbon exploration and development potentials. Therefore, a systematic investigation on the effect of oil emplacement of tight sandstones is conducted to study the importance of this behavior on the pore evolution path. This study evaluated the role played by oil emplacement and diagenesis in the pore network evolution of Upper Triassic tight sandstones in the Ordos Basin. To help provide a comprehensive understanding, we have used a multidisciplinary method including physical properties, casting thin section, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, fluorometric, and inclusion analysis. The results demonstrate that the sandstones could be divided into four groups based on new criteria: calcareous sandstone, high soft component sandstone, low soft component sandstone with continual oil emplacement, and low soft component sandstone with intermittent oil emplacement. The physical properties of those types of sandstones were gradually reduced. Quartz cement captured hydrocarbon, carbonate captured hydrocarbon, free hydrocarbon, and adsorbed hydrocarbon were the four main kinds of hydrocarbons. The maturity of those sandstones was decreased progressively, indicating that the formation time of those hydrocarbons was favorable to maturity. Four stages of oil emplacement happened, and large-scale emplacement mainly occurred in the late Jurassic and early Craterous. The evidence demonstrated that tight sandstones’ high porosity could be attributed to positive diagenetic contributions with a complex interplay of chemical compaction, early formed clays, and large-scale oil emplacement. This work would provide new sights for a better understanding of the tight oil accumulation modes, and the findings could be applied in the hydrocarbon exploration and development field.
