    Objective

    To observe the effect of Sijunzi granules on STC-1 cell (small intestine endocrine cell line) apoptosis induced by palmitic acid and the possible mechanisms implicated.

    Methods

    SD rats were given Sijunzi granules (5.25 g/kg, 10.5 g/kg) intragastrically for 7 days to prepare Sijunzi granules-containing serum. Following pre-incubation with Sijunzi granules-containing serum for 24 h, STC-1 cells were exposed to palmitic acid (0.4 mmol/L) for 72 h. Cell viability was detected by CCK8 assay and cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry.The levels of caspase-3 and caspase-9 activity were measured colorimetrically using commercially available kits and the protein contents of p-PERK, CHOP, Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot analysis.

    Results

    Pre-incubation with Sijunzi granules-containing serum resulted in a significant alleviation of STC-1 cell injury and apoptosis induced by palmitic acid (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The levels of p-PERK, CHOP and Bax protein and the activities of caspase-3 and caspase-9 were markedly down-regulated in cells treated with Sijunzi granules-containing serum (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), while the level of Bcl-2 protein was up-regulated evidently (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).

    Conclusion

    Sijunzi granules can ameliorate palmitic acid induced injury and apoptosis in STC-1 cells, which may be derived from suppression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related signaling pathway.

    Objective

    To study the protective effect of paeoniflorin (PF) on the proliferation of SH-SY5Y (LPS)-induced neuroma cells (SH-SY5Y) and its mechanism.

    Methods

    Lipopolysaccharide induced cell injury model was prepared. The morphological changes of SH-SY5Y cells were observed by microscope. Cell viability of SH-SY5Y cells was determined by CCK-8. The expressions of NLRP3, Bax and Bcl2 in each group of cells were analyzed by blot (Western).

    Results

    Paeoniflorin had different protective effect on injury of SH-SY5Y cells; the expressions of NLRP3 and Bax in the LSP group increased significantly; different doses of LPS could decrease the expressions of NLRP3 and Bax and increase the expression of Bc12.

    Conclusion

    Paeoniflorin has protective effects on LPS induced SH-SY5Y cell injury, which may be related to the reduction of inflammation related protein expression.

    Objective

    To study the pathomechanism of osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures after percutaneous kyphoplasty.

    Methods

    Living adult sheep were purchased (4 male and female in each,40~50 kg in weight, all sacrificed on the same day), an anterioposterior and lateral X-ray was taken to rule out congenital malformation, tumor/fracture, etc., and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (dexa) was used to determine the bone density of each specimen. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt decalcified in vitro was used to simulate vertebral osteoporosis, short-term manufacturing model of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, and the muscle and soft tissue on both sides of the vertebrae specimen connected to the thoracic spine specimen were removed and ribs. T3~T9, and T10~L4 were the two groups, and preparation of 16 specimens of the experiments was made. In each group of a vertebral compression fractures (T6 or L1), line PKP was used to restore the height of vertebral compression fractures. The artificial spinal vertebrae of the specimen were fixed at both ends. The test system (Mini Bionix) and spinal multi-channel test system were used for flexion/extension, axial load, rotation movement, as well as fatigue test of the specimens to obtain static and dynamic test data for statistical analysis. The recurrence of vertebral fractures and the relationship with strengthened vertebrae were observed.

    Results

    The vertebrae fracture incidence, cancellous bone maximum von Mises stress and the maximum von Mises stress of cortical bone vertebrae of T10~L4 group were higher significantly than those in T3~T9 groups, which were statistically significant (P < 0.05); In order to remain upright, vertical ridge strength of T10~L4 group was obviously higher than that of T3~T9 group, which was statistically significant (P < 0.05); The difference in intervertebral disc pressure, the maximum von Mises stress and endplate between T10~L4 group and T3~T9 groups was significant (P < 0.05).

    Conclusion

    The thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture is more likely in T10~L4 than that in T3~T9, and the recurrence of vertebral fracture is associated with the ability to withstand stress, which can guide the clinical prevention and treatment.

    Objective

    To analyze the prognostic factors in male breast cancer patientsand to develop a reliable Nomogram based on molecular subtypes to predict male breast cancer, thus helping clinical diagnosis and treatment.

    Methods

    Based on data from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database, breast cancer patients between 2010 and 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The factors affecting the overall survival rate of male breast cancer were screened and modeled by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. The Nomogram prediction model was performed by R software. Using the C-index, calibration curves were used to evaluate the consistency and predictive ability of the Nomogram prediction model.

    Results

    3 029 patients with breast cancer were included. Molecular subtypes Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2 overexpressing and triple negative breast cancer accounted for 84.9%, 12.1%, 0.9% and 2.1%. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age (P < 0.001), marital status (P = 0.001), histologic grade(P < 0.001), type of surgery (P < 0.001), tumor invasion and spread (P = 0.026), T staging (P < 0.001), molecular subtype (P < 0.001), tumor size (P = 0.001), and bone metastasis (P = 0.024) were independent prognostic factors for the overall survival. A Nomogram predictive model was established based on the significant clinicopathological parameters obtained by multivariate Cox regression to evaluate the competitive risk affecting overall survival and to quantify survival differences. The internal verification results of the Nomogram prediction model show that the C-index was 7.477 (95% CI: 0.722 ~ 0.772), and the correction curves of 3 years and 5 years show that the line diagram had good prediction ability.

    Conclusion

    Nomogram model has good prediction ability and can be used as a tool for prognosis monitoring of male breast cancer patients.

    Methods

    A total of 208 breast cancer patients who received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with anthracycline containing chemotherapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2017 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into epirubicin group (53 cases), THP group (72 cases) and LD group (83 cases), the changes of myocardial enzymes (LDH, α-HBDH, CK, CK-MB, AST) and echocardiography in the three groups before and after chemotherapy were compared and analyzed.

    Results

    Compared with before chemotherapy, the five items of myocardial enzymes in all groups were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The five items of myocardial enzymes in LD group were lower than those in EPI group and THP group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in myocardial enzyme indexes between EPI group and THP group (P > 0.05). The ratio of left atrial systolic filling peak (E/A) in EPI group and THP group was lower than that before chemotherapy. The E/A ratio in LD group was significantly lower than that in LD group (P < 0.05).

    Conclusion

    Doxorubicin liposomes have better cardiac safety than epirubicin and pirarubicin, and there is a similar risk of cardiac injury between epirubicin and pirarubicin.

Increased physical activity was negatively associated with value disorders, motivational disorders, and total depression scores (β =-0.235 ~ -0.172). Control of alcohol consumption was positively correlated with comprehensive blood pressure grading and diastolic blood pressure grading (β = 0.297, β = 0.300), while control of diet was negatively correlated (β =-0.154, β =-0.190). There was a negative correlation between smoking control and comprehensive bp grading (β =-0.286). Comprehensive grading of blood pressure was an obstacle to diet control (OR = 0.664). Value barrier is an obstacle to increasing physical activity (OR = 0.870). Motivation disorder was a contributing factor to alcohol and tobacco control (OR = 1.217, OR = 1.227).

    Conclusion

    Blood pressure control behavior, depression and blood pressure have mutual influence. In order to improve the blood pressure management of hypertension patients, it is necessary to relieve their bad emotions and promote the implementation of control behavior.

    Metformin is a first line drug of therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recently more and more evidence indicates that metformin use has been found to be connected with a reduced incidence of cancer and cancer-related mortality in patients with or without diabetes. Moreover, studies indicate that metformin can also be used as a therapeutic agent in patients with leukemia, lymphomas and multiple myeloma. In this article, we review current treatments on the anticancer activities of metformin and the underlying mechanisms in blood cancers.
