    The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is a highly conserved pathway that regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, stem cell self-renewal, tissue homeostasis, and wound healing. Dysregulation of the Wnt pathway is involved in almost all stages of tumorigenesis in various cancers.Abnormal activation of Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction contributes to immune rejection and inhibits T cell-mediated antitumor immune responses through direct or indirect effects on immune cells. In this review, we summarize the processes by which Wnt/β-catenin signaling influences tumor progression and immune surveillance, as well as strategies for targeting this signaling pathway at different levels for cancer therapy.

    Sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a nervous system complication caused by systemic inflammatory reaction of sepsis, which is an important reason for the high mortality and poor long-term recovery of patients with sepsis. Clinically, it is divided into acute phase and chronic phase. The main clinical manifestations in the acute phase are changes in the level of consciousness, including attention deficit, delirium, lethargy and coma. In the chronic phase, cognitive dysfunction and even dementia occur. The clinical diagnosis of SAE lacks a unified clinical standard. Researchers should strive to better understand the pathophysiological mechanism of sepsis and explore possible effective intervention and treatment measures. This article reviews the pathophysiological mechanism, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of SAE.

    ObjectiveTo explore the effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the lipid metabolism of fatty liver cell model induced in vitro, and to provide theoretical support for further expanding the application of rhGH in clinical practice.MethodsPalmitic acid (PA) was combined to induce lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells, and a fatty liver cell model was constructed. The cell model was treated with different concentrations of rhGH, and CCK8 assay was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of PA and rhGH on the survival of HepG2 cells. The lipid accumulation level in HepG2 cells was evaluated by oil red O staining, the expression levels of genes and proteins related to lipid metabolism in HepG2 cell lines were evaluated by RT-qPCR and Western blot, and the mechanism of action of rhGH was preliminarily explored.ResultsIn this study, 0.2 mmol/L PA successfully induced a fatty liver cell model, which showed significant accumulation of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm. After being stimulated by rhGH, the accumulation of intracellular lipid droplets decreased with the increase of rhGH concentration, and the rhGH concentration of 40 ng/mL achieved a significant lipid-lowering effect. The results of RT-qPCR and Western blot showed that the expression of genes and proteins related to lipid synthesis in cells were significantly down-regulated after rhGH treatment, while the expressions of genes and proteins related to lipolysis had no significant changes.ConclusionrhGH can alleviate the lipid deposition in HepG2 cells induced by PA by inhibiting the de novo fatty acid synthesis pathway.

    Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the fastest increase in morbidity and mortality and the greatest threat to human life worldwide. Patients diagnosed with lung cancer usually receive a variety of treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy; However, the five-year survival rate for lung cancer remains low, especially when the cancer has reached an advanced stage or distant metastasis has occurred. Therefore, more effective and novel technologies must be developed to solve this problem. Inducer application of immunogenic cell death (ICD) has been proved to enhance immunity in patients receiving various types of therapy. The term ICD refers to a type of cell death that triggers an immune response to dead cell antigens, especially antigens derived from cancer cells. It was originally proposed about the effects of anti-cancer chemotherapy with traditional cytotoxic drugs. The purpose of this study is to review and discuss the role and mechanism of ICD as a promising combination immunotherapy for lung cancer.

    Abstract144 HTML5 PDF(pc)(840KB)( 105 Save

    ObjectiveTo compare the predictive value of qpitt score and ECFC in the prognosis and death of patients with secondary bloodstream infection caused by urinary tract infection.MethodsThe medical record data of patients aged ≥ 18 years with secondary bloodstream infection caused by urinary tract infection treated in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were collected retrospectively. ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of qPitt score and ECFC for poor prognosis and death.ResultsA total of 266 patients, 116 males and 150 females, aged from 27 to 91 years, with an average age of (63.92 ± 14.52) years, were included. The pathogens of blood culture accounted for 77.44% of Gram-negative bacteria, 19.55% of Gram-positive bacteria and 3.01% of fungi. ECFC had good predictive value for death and poor prognosis (the areas under ROC curve were 0.964 and 0.772, respectively,P< 0.001). The value of qpitt score in predicting death and poor prognosis was ordinary (the areas under ROC curve were 0.890 and 0.648, respectively,P< 0.001). The results of consistency test showed that ECFC ≥ 2 had good predictive value for poor prognosis and death (Kappa values were 0.503 and 0.580, respectively). For patients with qpitt ≥ 2 and ECFC ≥ 2, the mortality of carbapenem antibiotics used at 72-96 hours after admission was significantly reduced (χ2= 6.769,P= 0.014).ConclusionFor patients with secondary bloodstream infection caused by urinary tract infection, ECFC is better than qPitt score in predicting death and adverse prognosis. ECFC ≥ 2 as a critical value has some guiding significance in predicting death.

    Journal of ShanDong First Medical University&ShanDong Academy of Medical Sciences 2024, 45 (6): 321-325. DOI:10.3969/j.issn.2097-0005.2024.06.001
    Abstract128 HTML77 PDF(pc)(477KB)( 80 Save

    ObjectiveTo study the relationship between physiologic ability and surgical stress score (E-PASS) and perioperative complications of radical hepatectomy in patients with primary liver cancer.Methods124 primary hepatocellular carcinoma patients admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study subjects, all of whom underwent radical hepatectomy in our hospital. The perioperative complications of these patients were statistically analyzed, and then they were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of complications, namely the occurrence group (n= 29) and the non-occurrence group (n= 95). The clinical data and disease-related characteristics of the two groups of patients were compared and E-PASS evaluation was conducted. The multifactorial Logistic regression equation was taken to analyze the relationship between perioperative complications of radical hepatectomy and various indictors, and then ROC curve graphs were drawn to predict the value of E-PASS in evaluating perioperative complications of radical hepatectomy in patients with primary liver cancer.ResultsA total of 124 patients were included in this paper who underwent radical hepatectomy, and 29 patients (23.39%) had perioperative complications, including 2 cases of liver failure (1.61%), 6 cases of pleural effusion (4.84%), 4 cases of abdominal abscess (3.23%), 8 cases of postoperative hemorrhage (6.45%), and 9 cases of abdominal cavity infection (7.26%). In addition, patients with no complications were 95 cases (76.61%). The difference between the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group was significant in terms of age, intraoperative bleeding, preoperative total bilirubin, and preoperative albumin (P< 0.05). The preoperative risk score (PRS), surgical stress score (SSS), and composite risk score (CRS) scores were all higher in the occurrence group than those in the non-occurrence group (P< 0.05). After multifactorial logistic regression analysis, it was found that PRS, SSS, and CRS would all have a significant positive influence relationship on perioperative complications of radical hepatectomy in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (P< 0.05). Meanwhile, by drawing ROC curves, it was found that E-PASS has certain value in predicting perioperative complications of radical liver resection with AUCs of 0.617, 0.614, and 0.601 respectively.ConclusionThe perioperative complications of primary hepatocellular carcinoma patients after radical hepatectomy are high, which need to be paid attention to. And the value of predicting perioperative complications by E-PASS is higher, which is worth being popularized in clinic use.

    Abstract125 HTML12 PDF(pc)(1625KB)( 63 Save

    ObjectiveTo identify a novel regulatory dendritic cell (DC) subsets in the lung at steady state.MethodsThe gene expression characteristics of each subset of lung DCs were analyzed by single-cell RNA sequence (scRNA-seq) and bioinformatics analysis techniques; the phenotypic profile of novel regulatory DC subsets in the lung were further analyzed by flow cytometry; in addition, the functional characteristics of novel regulatory DC subsets in the lung were explored in combination with in vitro cell co-culture system and flow cytometry.ResultsSingle cell data showed that there was a population of DC subsets transcriptionally distinct from cDC1, cDC2 and pDCs in lung tissues under steady-state. As this DC subset highly expressed mature DC signature genes, such as Ccr7 and Cd80 as well as negative regulatory genes, such as Cd274, we named them regulatory DCs(DCreg). Flow analysis data further confirmed the existence of DCreg in lung tissues, which highly expressed costimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86; in vitro cell co-culture experiments showed that functionally lung DCreg could promote Treg production.ConclusionPreliminary discovery shows a novel lung regulatory DC subset in the lung that is independent and distinct from cDC1, cDC2, and pDC, and can promote Treg production in vitro.

    Xinru ZHANG, Zhe MA, Shuaiya XU, Chenxi BA, Meng SUN
    Journal of Shandong First Medical Unversity & Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences 2023, 44 (12): 900-903. DOI:10.3969/j.issn.2097-0005.2023.12.004
    Abstract117 HTML6 PDF(pc)(882KB)( 26 Save

    ObjectiveTo assess the effect of transverse and longitudinal sections on shear wave elastography (SWE) measurements of thyroid nodule stiffness.MethodsA total of 67 patients (79 nodules) who underwent thyroid ultrasound examination in our hospital from February 2022 to November 2022 and underwent SWE examination for all nodules were included in this study. All patients had pathological results obtained through either fine-needle aspiration or surgical biopsy, which allowed the nodules to be classified as benign or malignant. The study aimed to compare the maximum elastic modulus (Emax) and mean elastic modulus (Emean) between benign and malignant nodules in both transverse and longitudinal shear wave elastography. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to assess the diagnostic performance of SWE in different directions for distinguishing benign and malignant thyroid nodules. The Cronbach reliability coefficient and Bland-Altman plot were used to analyze the reliability and consistency of SWE in both transverse and longitudinal directions for diagnosing thyroid nodules.ResultsThe transverse and longitudinal elastic modulus values of malignant thyroid nodules were higher than those of benign nodules. The differences in Emax and Emean values in transverse and longitudinal sections were not statistically significant for benign nodules, but they were statistically significant for malignant nodules. The ROC analysis showed that the AUC values for Emax and Emean in longitudinal shear wave elastography were 0.955 and 0.939, respectively, while the AUC values for Emax and Emean in transverse shear wave elastography were 0.942 and 0.930, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the diagnostic performance (AUC) between these two measurements. Cronbach's reliability analysis of Emax and Emean for SWE in cross-sectional and longitudinal sections of 79 thyroid nodules showed a good correlation (reliability coefficient values of 0.941, 0.943). The Bland-Altman plots visually showed that the values of the elastic modulus in the transverse and longitudinal sections had almost no deviation over a wide range, indicating a good level of agreement in the data.ConclusionThe section orientation (transverse and longitudinal sections) shows good agreement and reliability for SWE measurements of maximum and mean modulus values of thyroid nodules. The similar performance of the two imaging orientations provides examination flexibility for imaging patients with anatomical or physiological limitations.

    Abstract115 HTML5 PDF(pc)(498KB)( 98 Save

    ObjectiveTo explore the effect of physical activity and SARS-CoV-2 infection on parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.MethodsPatients undergoing thyroid surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2019 to March 2023 were selected. The patients' physical activity levels were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the metabolic equivalent of task (MET) values were calculated. Among them, 27 patients were infected with novel coronavirus (COVID-19 group) and 197 patients were negative for novel coronavirus (non-COVID-19 group). The preoperative PTH levels and postoperative day 1 PTH levels of the patients were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation to evaluate the relationship between physical activity, SARS-CoV-2 infection, and PTH levels in thyroid surgery patients.ResultsThere were significant differences in preoperative PTH levels, postoperative PTH levels, and postoperative minus preoperative PTH values between the COVID-19 group and non-COVID-19 group (P< 0.05). The correlation coefficients between physical activity MET values and preoperative PTH levels, postoperative PTH levels, and postoperative minus preoperative PTH values were not statistically significant (P> 0.05).ConclusionNovel coronavirus infection can lead to a decrease in preoperative and postoperative PTH levels in surgical patients, while physical activity has no significant impact on PTH levels in thyroid surgery patients with novel coronavirus infection.

    Abstract112 HTML12 PDF(pc)(483KB)( 38 Save

    Gastric cancer is the most common gastric malignant tumor, and the incidence is getting higher in our country. Most patients are diagnosed with gastric cancer when it is in the advanced stage with poor treatment effect and high mortality. The therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients with early gastric cancer are better than those with advanced gastric cancer, so early diagnosis and treatment become the key to the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. At present, the gold standard for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer is biopsy, which is invasive, painful to patients, expensive and easy to miss, so it is not suitable as a screening method. Detection of serum markers, a non-invasive method, provides a new strategy for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. This article reviews the progress of serum markers in the detection of early gastric cancer.

    Abstract110 HTML5 PDF(pc)(612KB)( 17 Save

    ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for different degree of white matter lesions (WML) and analyze the correlation between WML and cognitive functions.MethodsClinical data and blood indicators of WML patients admitted to the Neurology Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from February 2022 to February 2023 were selected, and brain magnetic resonance imaging was performed on them. At the same time, Neuropsychological assessments such as the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA), minimal mental state examination Scale (MMSE), activities of daily living scale(ADL), Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) were completed. According to the Fazekas scoring scale, patients were divided into no WML group, mild WML group, moderate WML group, and severe WML group. The clinical data, blood indicators, MoCA related cognitive domain scores, MoCA total score, MMSE score, ADL score, HAMA score, HAMD score of the four groups were compared, the risk factors for different degrees of WML patients were analyzed. To analyze the correlation between different degrees of WML and cognitive impairment. According to the location of WML, related data was divided into normal control group, lateral ventricle peripheral white matter lesion (PVL) group and deep brain white matter lesion (DWML) group.ResultsThere were significant differences among the four groups in age, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, smoking history, and hyperhomocysteinemia (P<0.05). By ordinal logistic regression analysis, age, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperhomocysteinemia were the risk factors for different degrees of WML patients (P<0.05). Comparison of cognitive impairment in patients with different degrees of WML: There was no significant difference in cognitive function between the mild WML group and the non WML group. The differences in MoCA total score, visual space and executive function, and attention score between the moderate to severe WML group and the non WML group were statistically significant (P<0.001). Comparison of cognitive impairment among WML patients in different regions: The total MoCA score of the DWML group was significantly lower than that of the PVL group, and the directional ability and delayed recall function of the DWML group were significantly reduced (P<0.05). The predictive value of WML for cognitive impairment: Based on the MoCA to evaluate patients’ cognitive functions, the ROC curve analysis using Fazekas scores to predict cognitive impairment in patients indicates that moderate WML have a certain predictive value for the occurrence of cognitive impairment.ConclusionAge, hypertension, diabetes and hyperhomocysteinemia are the risk factors for different degrees of WML patients. The severity and location of WML are correlated with cognitive impairment, which has predictive value for the occurrence and development of cognitive impairment.

    Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death that is different from apoptosis, autophagy, and cell necrosis, driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Its main features are intracellular accumulation of free iron, accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid peroxidative damage of iron-dependent membrane structures. In recent years, studies have shown that ferroptosis has an important impact on malignant tumors such as liver cancer, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, ovarian cancer, and thyroid cancer. However, there are relatively few studies on gastric cancer. This article summarizes in detail the occurrence and regulation mechanism of ferroptosis, and expounds the research status and treatment prospect of ferroptosis in the treatment of gastric cancer.

    ObjectiveTo screen elderly people aged 60 and above in rural areas of Anhui Province for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and sarcopenia, to understand the prevalence and influencing factors of comorbidity of MCI and sarcopenia among rural elderly people, and to provide a basis for formulating strategies for joint prevention and management of the two.MethodsConvenient sampling was used to select 2 ~ 3 natural villages from rural areas of Huoshan County and Linquan County in Anhui Province, and eligible subjects were invited to conduct research in the selected areas. Binary logistic regression was used to score the influencing factors of the comorbidity. Data analysis and plotting were completed using SPSS and Stata software.ResultsAge, gender, depression, ADL score, and BMI were the influencing factors of comorbidity of MCI and sarcopenia. Compared to men, women had a higher risk of comorbidity of MCI and sarcopenia (OR= 2.702, 95%CI: 1.436 - 5.083). For age increase of each year, the risk of comorbidity of MCI and sarcopenia significantly increased (OR= 1.073, 95%CI: 1.029 - 1.119). Subjects with depressive symptoms had a higher risk of comorbidity of MCI and possible sarcopenia (OR= 2.764, 95%CI= 1.653 - 4.623), and those with a higher BMI index had a higher risk of comorbidity (OR= 1.080, 95%CI= 1.018 - 1.146). However, the higher the ADL score of the study subjects was, the lower the risk of comorbidity was (OR= 0.871, 95%CI: 0.837 - 0.907).ConclusionThe prevalence of comorbidity of MCI and sarcopenia among elderly people in some rural areas of Anhui Province is relatively high; women and the elderly are important risk factors for comorbidity of MCI and sarcopenia in rural areas; the presence of depressive symptoms and high BMI may increase the risk of comorbidity of MCI and sarcopenia in the elderly, which is a controllable risk based on the nature of the risk factors; higher daily activity ability is associated with lower risk of comorbidity of MCI and sarcopenia.

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a systemic inflammatory disease that is currently the main cause of death worldwide. The main feature of COPD is chronic inflammation of the airways and lung parenchyma, accompanied by incomplete reversible and progressive airflow restriction. Numerous studies have confirmed that cytokines and various inflammatory markers play a crucial role in the acute and frequent exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, such as cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8), interleukin-10(IL-10), and tumor necrosis factor (TFN-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) levels. Deep understanding of the role of the aforementioned inflammatory markers in COPD can provide new ideas for its treatment and prevention.

    ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between attitudes toward own aging and depression in elderly people and the moderating role of family resilience.MethodsThe Simplified Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire, the Family Hardiness Index, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used to conduct a questionnaire survey of 386 community-dwelling elderly people in Shandong Province.ResultsNegative attitudes toward own aging significantly and positively predicted total depression scores; Control moderated the relationship between attitudes toward own aging and depression (β= -0.166,P< 0.001), and the effect of attitudes toward own aging on depression was more pronounced in older adults with low control scores (β= 0.862,P< 0.001) than with high control scores (β= 0.372,P< 0.001). Challenge moderated between self-aging attitudes and depression (β= 0.101,P= 0.028). The effect of self-aging attitudes on depression in older adults was more significant when challenge scores were at high levels (β=0.652,P=0.000) than the effect when challenge scores were at low levels (β= 0.327,P= 0.009).ConclusionThe attitude of elder people toward own aging can influence their levels of depression, which are moderated by levels of control and challenge in family resilience.

    ObjectiveTo understand the detection of metabolic syndrome in the population of a tertiary hospital and analyze its epidemiological characteristics, so as to provide a basis for guiding the prevention and treatment work in this region.MethodsA total of 8,381 adults who participated in medical check-ups in a tertiary hospital in 2022 were selected as the study subjects, and data on age, gender, height, weight, fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure and other medical check-ups were collected to compare the detection rate of metabolic syndrome and its components in the different genders and age groups of medical check-ups.ResultsThe detection rate of metabolic syndrome in the study population was 13.47%, including 18.18% in men and 6.73% in women, which was higher in men than in women (P< 0.005), and it also showed an increasing trend with age. The detection rates of the four components of metabolic syndrome were 34.51% (obesity), 33.06% (dyslipidemia), 26.27% (hypertension), and 17.79% (hyperglycaemia), with dyslipidemia and obesity being more commonly detected than hypertension and hyperglycaemia.ConclusionThe detection rate of metabolic syndrome in the adult health check-up population of a tertiary hospital in Anhui Province should not be underestimated, and intervention efforts should be strengthened in high-risk groups and healthy lifestyles should be promoted with a view to reducing the occurrence of metabolic syndrome.
