    Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the third most common malignant tumor in the worldwide. Radiotherapy is the common therapeutic treatment for CRC, but radiation resistance is often encountered. ChIP-seq of Histone H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac) has revealed enhancers that play an important role in CRC. This study examined the relationship between an active CRC enhancer and claudin-1 (CLDN1), and its effect on CRC radiation resistance. Methods The target CRC genes of active enhancers were obtained from public H3K27ac ChIP-seq, and the genes highly expressed in radio-resistant CRC were screened and intersected with enhancer-driven genes. The clinical roles of CLDN1 in radiation resistance were examined using the t-test, standard mean deviation (SMD), summary receiver operating characteristic curve and Kaplan-Meier curves. The co-expressed genes of CLDN1 were calculated using Pearson Correlation analysis, and Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) analyses were used to examine the molecular mechanisms of CLDN1. Results Total 13 703 CRC genes were regulated by enhancers using 58 H3K27ac ChIP-seq. Claudin-1 (CLDN1) was enhancer-driven and notably up-regulated in CRC tissues compared to non-CRC controls, with a SMD of 3.45 (95 CI % = .56-4.35). CLDN1 expression was increased in radiation-resistant CRC with a SMD of .42 (95% CI = .16-.68) and an area under the curve of .74 (95% CI = .70-.77). The cell cycle and immune macrophage levels were the most significant pathways associated with CLDN1. Conclusion CLDN1 as an enhancer-regulated gene that can boost radiation resistance in patients with CRC.

    Abstract: Thrombosis and inflammation are crucial elements in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Hematological parameters elucidate information involving the inflammatory and blood coagulation processes. Objectives: The current study explored the association of hematological parameters with EOCAD to identify specific risk factors. Design: A single-center retrospective case–control study was conducted with 1693 coronary artery disease patients and 1693 controls. Methods: Hematological parameters were examined through an automated analyzer. Results: The basophil percentage was significantly reduced in EOCAD (0.43 ± 0.26, p  〈  0.001) and MI (0.33 ± 0.24, p  〈  0.001) groups compared with controls (0.54 ± 0.28). The eosinophil percentage was also significantly lower in EOCAD (2.21 ± 1.71, p  〈  0.001) and MI (1.71 ± 2.44, p  〈  0.001) groups compared with controls (2.41 ± 1.75). The lymphocyte percentage in patients of EOCAD and MI and controls was 31.65 ± 7.93, 25.48 ± 9.43, and 34.82 ± 7.28, respectively. A significant difference was observed among the groups ( p  〈  0.001). Except for the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), other red blood cell (RBC) parameters significantly differed between EOCAD patients and controls. The red blood cell distribution width (RDW), hematocrit (HCT), RBC count, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and hemoglobin level were associated with EOCAD prevalence after adjusting for baseline differences. Platelet volume distribution width (PDW) also correlated with EOCAD prevalence (OR adjust  = 1.087, 95% CI: 1.044–1.131). Conclusions: Hematological parameters are closely associated with EOCAD. Moreover, leukocyte parameters correlated with the presence and severity of the disease. In addition, erythrocyte parameters were associated with the disease presence but not with the disease severity. Among the platelet parameters, only PDW was related to the disease presence.

    Abstract: Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be used effectively to transfer drugs and biomolecules to target lesions. Meanwhile, BMSCs have been reported to be beneficial in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we employ gain- and loss-of-function experiments to determine how BMSCs-derived EVs alleviate RA in vitro and in vivo. Methods: We isolated EVs from BMSCs and characterized them by transmission electron microscopy and western blot analysis. The regulatory relationship between miR-21 and TET1 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and validated by dual luciferase assay. Next, we utilized bisulfite sequencing PCR to decipher how TET1 promoted KLF4 transcription. Then, we established an RA mouse model and determined the role of miR-21 in RA progression. Functional assays were used to validate the role the miR-21-TET1-KLF4 regulatory axis in controlling mouse fibroblast-like synoviocytes (mFLS) cell proliferation and inflammatory cytokines secretion in vitro. Results: RT-qPCR results revealed that miR-21 was highly expressed in BMSCs-derived EVs, and confirmed that BMSCs-derived EVs transferred miR-21 into mFLS cells. Bioinformatic analysis predicted that TET1 was the directly downstream target of miR-21, which was further validated by dual luciferase assay. TET1 promoted KLF4 promoter methylation to increase its expression. Collectively, BMSCs-derived EVs relieved RA by delivering miR-21, while the exosomal miR-21 alleviated RA through targeting the TET1/KLF4 regulatory axis. Conclusion: miR-21 from BMSCs-derived EVs suppresses KLF4 to relive RA by targeting TET1.

    Abstract: Adenosine deaminase (ADA) regulates purine metabolism through the conversion of adenosine to uric acid (UA). Adenosine and UA are closely associated with cardiovascular events, but the correlation between serum ADA activity and coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been defined. Methods: We performed a hospital-based retrospective case-control study that included a total of 5212 patients with CAD and 4717 sex- and age-matched controls. The serum activity of ADA was determined by peroxidase assays in an automatic biochemistry analyzer. Results: Serum ADA activity in the CAD group (10.08 ± 3.57 U/l) was significantly lower than that of the control group (11.71 ± 4.20 U/l, p 〈 0.001). After adjusting for conventional factors, serum ADA activity negatively correlated with the presence of CAD (odds ratio = 0.852, 95% confidence interval: 0.839–0.865, p  〈  0.001). Among the patients with CAD, serum ADA activity was lowest in patients with myocardial infarction (MI; 9.77 ± 3.80 U/l). Diabetes mellitus and hypertension increased the serum ADA activity in CAD patients. Conclusions: Serum ADA activity is significantly attenuated in patients with CAD, particularly in MI. We propose a mechanism by which the body maintains adenosine levels to protect the cardiovascular system in the event of CAD.

    Abstract: Fatty acids (FAs) play crucial roles in modulating and preventing diseases in humans, including early-onset coronary artery disease (EOCAD). In this study, we aimed to provide a profile of FAs in the serum of EOCAD patients and identify potential EOCAD-associated FAs. Methods: In the first stage, we analyzed the FAs profiles in pooled samples of patients with EOCAD using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In the second stage, the serum levels of the candidate FAs were validated in EOCAD patients. Results: A total of 128 EOCAD patients and 64 controls were included in the study. Forty-nine serum FAs were quantified in pooled samples; three ω-3 FAs were identified to be associated with EOCAD. Moreover, results from the validation stage indicated that serum levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were significantly lower in EOCAD patients (55.43 ± 33.86 µg/ml) and myocardial infarction (MI) patients (47.49 ± 28.44 μg/ml) than those in the controls (70.65 ± 43.56 µg/ml). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that elevated serum DHA level was an independent protective factor for EOCAD [odds ratio (OR) = 0.8917, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.879–0.957] and MI (OR = 0.835, 95% CI: 0.799–0.862). Decreased serum levels of docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) were observed in the early-onset MI group. Conclusion: The study provided the serum FAs profile of EOCAD and confirmed that the decrease in serum levels of DHA, DPA, and EPA was associated with EOCAD. These findings might contribute to understanding the cardiovascular effects of FAs, particularly the protective effects of ω-3 polyunsaturated FAs.

    Abstract: Refractory ascites is uncommon in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) but it usually makes the patient physically and psychologically handicapped. Two uremic ADPKD patients in our hospital developed refractory ascites after 1 year on hemodialysis. The refractory ascites was due to portal hypertension, which was caused primarily by portal outflow obstruction due to the numerous enlarged cysts in the liver and secondarily by increased portal inflow. We attempted continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) to treat the 2 patients and obtained satisfactory results. Not only was the refractory ascites well controlled, but also the portal hypertension disappeared. Based on our experience, we think CAPD could serve as a very effective therapy to treat the refractory ascites of portal hypertension due to polycystic liver in uremic ADPKD patients.

    Abstract: Radiation-induced lung injuries (RILI) is one of the serious complications of radiotherapy posed by the damage of alveolar cells and inflammation over-reaction. We aimed to investigate the potential protective effects of doxepin on RILI (20 Gy total dose at 3 Gy/min of X-ray irradiation), as well as its underlying mechanism. For animal experiments, such parameters as Immunohistochemistry and hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining, WBC (white blood cell), CRP (C-reactive protein), Western blot, and q-PCR were detected. The results indicated that both survival status and weight increase of irradiated rats treated by doxepin (3 mg/kg/day, rat) were higher than those of treated with irradiation alone (Dosing started the day before irradiation). Further, histological examinations showed doxepin could tenuate the radiation injury, as indicated as alveolar inflammatory exudation and there was only mild interstitial inflammation infiltration. Western blotting and q-PCR showed that expression of NF-κβ in X group were higher than that in XMD group. For the first time, we reported doxepin functioned as a radioprotectant candidate, which provide a promising application of doxepin for protecting radiotherapy injuries.

    Abstract: Strong noxious stimuli cause plastic changes in spinal nociceptive neurons. Intracellular signal transduction pathways from cellular membrane to nucleus, which may further regulate gene expression by critical transcription factors, convey peripheral stimulation. Cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) is a well-characterized stimulus-induced transcription factor whose activation requires phosphorylation of the Serine-133 residue. Phospho-CREB can further induce gene transcription and strengthen synaptic transmission by the activation of the protein kinase cascades. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which CREB phosphorylation is regulated by protein kinases during nociception. This study was designed to use Western blot analysis to investigate the role of mitogen-activated protein (MAP)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK 1/2), PKA and PKC in regulating the phosphorylation of CREB in the spinal cord of rats following intraplantar capsaicin injection. Results: We found that capsaicin injection significantly increased the phosphorylation level of CREB in the ipsilateral side of the spinal cord. Pharmacological manipulation of MEK 1/2, PKA and PKC with their inhibitors (U0126, H89 and NPC 15473, respectively) significantly blocked this increment of CREB phosphorylation. However, the expression of CREB itself showed no change in any group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the activation of intracellular MAP kinase, PKA and PKC cascades may contribute to the regulation of phospho-CREB in central nociceptive neurons following peripheral painful stimuli.

    Abstract: The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of different surgical methods on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, determine the risk factors of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) by logistic regression, and investigate these risk factors through different surgical methods. A total of 70 patients undergoing selective abdominal surgery were selected into this study. The age of these patients ranged within 32 to 85 years. The cognitive function of these patients was assessed by the mini-mental state examination at one day before the operation, and at the first and seventh day after the operation. The temperature of the tympanic membrane, P ET CO 2 values, visual analogue scale scores, educational level, and operation time were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze related factors of POCD. The incidence rate of perioperative hypothermia in groups O and L were 31.2 and 10.5 per cent, respectively; and the difference was statistically significant (P 〈 0.05). The difference in visual analogue scale scores at the first and seventh day after the operation between these two groups were statistically significant (P 〈 0.01). The incidence of POCD in group O was significantly higher than that in group L at the first and seventh day after the operation (P 〈 0.05). According to logistic regression results, it was found that age, perioperative hypothermia, and postoperative pain were risk factors of POCD. The difference in POCD for the patients undergoing abdominal surgery through different surgical methods was statistically significant, and this was closely correlated to perioperative hypothermia and postoperative pain.

    Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have proved to act as crucial biomarkers in tumors. Novel biomarkers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) need to be investigated badly. To identify the differentially expressed lncRNAs between NSCLC tissue and adjacent tissue, microarray analysis was performed. lncRNA SLC16A1-AS1 was significantly less expressed in NSCLC tissue than that in adjacent tissue. Gain-of-function experiments was performed to determine the biological functions of SLC16A1-AS. In situhybridization and survival analysis were applied in lung cancer tissue samples to determine the prognostic role of SLC16A1-AS1. It was showed that SLC16A1-AS1 was remarkably downregulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Functionally, SLC16A1-AS1 overexpression could inhibit the viability and proliferation of lung cancer cell, block the cell cycle and promote cell apoptosis in vitro which may result from reduced phosphorylation of rat sarcoma (RAS)/ proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase (RAF)/ mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/ extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) pathway caused by elevated expression of SLC16A1-AS1. Clinical sample analysis showed that SLC16A1-AS1 had a favorable impact on the overall survival and progression-free survival of patients with NSCLC. Our results suggested that SLC16A1-AS1 may act as a potential biomarker for patients with NSCLC.
