    Abstract Introduction: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, there are no currently available drugs for ALD. Wangshi Baochi Pill (WBP) is a is a national confidential formulary of China, commonly used in clinical pediatrics to treat dyspepsia. In this study, we measured the therapeutic effect of WBP on ALD. Methods: The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) mouse model was used in our study. Experiments were performed to determine whether the hepatoprotective effect of WBP was associated with gut microbiota using a mixture of antibiotics (ABx). Gut flora was detected via full-length 16S rRNA sequencing on the Pacbio Sequel platform. Q-PCR and western blot were used to test lipid metabolism related genes. Results: WBP significantly reduced AST and ALT levels and alleviated liver damage. It also elevated hepatic alcohol-metabolizing enzymes (alcohol dehydrogenase and cytochrome P4502E1) activity. WBP down-regulated the FASN, CPT1-α, and CD36 and up-regulated PPAR-α. Moreover, we found WBP could alleviate ethanol-induced intestinal injury and inflammation. Our results suggest WBP was effective in attenuating hepatic steatosis and injury via intestinal flora, likely by elevating probiotics (B. pseudolongum PV8–2) and decreasing harmful bacteria. Discussions: Our study first suggested the therapeutic effect of WBP on ALD and provides a new approach for the treatment of ALD.

    Abstract The 5-year mortality rates associated with decompensated liver cirrhosis (DLC) can reach 50%, which suggests that this condition poses a serious health risk. In previous studies conducted by our group, autologous bone marrow nucleated cells (ABMNCs) were used to treat HIV-positive patients with DLC through the right omental vein; however, trauma and poor compliance were encountered. In the present study, the percutaneous liver approach to inject ABMNCs under the guidance of B-ultrasound was employed for the treatment of DLC. A total of 108 patients with DLC were retrospectively divided into the routine drug treatment group (control group; 30 cases), the right omental vein infusion of ABMNCs group (observation group 1; 38 cases) and the B-ultrasound-guided liver injection of ABMNCs group (observation group 2; 40 cases). After treatment, the liver synthesis (prothrombin time, albumin and ascites) and secretion functions (total bilirubin) in observation groups 1 and 2 were significantly improved compared with those of the control group (P<0.01) and the bone marrow function was also significantly improved compared with that of the control group (P<0.01). While, the bone marrow function (white blood cell, platelet, and hemoglobin) in observation group 1 was significantly improved compared with that of observation group 2 at the end of treatment (P<0.01). After a 1-year follow-up, the case fatality rate was 2.5% (1/40) in observation group 2, which was significantly lower than the 20% fatality rate (6/30) recorded in the control group (P<0.05). The injection of ABMNCs into the liver under the guidance of B-ultrasound was significantly better than conventional drug therapy in treating DLC. This approach has obvious advantages such as no hospitalization, minimal trauma, rapid recovery and good compliance, all of which make it worthy of application in primary hospitals.

    Abstract Cellular senescence is characterized by a tumor-suppressive program as well as a pro-inflammatory secretome. Neutrophils constitute significant compositions of malignancies and play key roles in tumor development. However, the role of senescent neutrophils in cancer progression is presently unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that neutrophils display enhanced senescence in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The senescent neutrophils produce increased number of exosomes, which confer drug resistance to tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, senescent neutrophils-derived exosomal piRNA-17560 enhances the expression of fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) in breast cancer cells. The upregulation of FTO further strengthens ZEB1 transcripts stability and expression by decreasing N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation, leading to chemoresistance and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tumor cells. Clinically, the level of exosomal piR-17560 correlates with poor chemotherapy response in patients with breast cancer. In addition, YTHDF2 is essential for the posttranscriptional regulation of ZEB1 by piRNA-17560/FTO signaling. Senescent neutrophils secret exosomal piR-17560 in a STAT3-dependent manner. Altogether, this study suggests that senescent neutrophils-derived exosomal piR-17560 confers chemoresistance to tumor cells and senescent neutrophils may serve as a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer.

    Abstract We study the spin polarization generated by the hydrodynamic gradients. In addition to the widely studied thermal vorticity effects, we identify an undiscovered contribution from the fluid shear. This shear-induced polarization (SIP) can be viewed as the fluid analog of strain-induced polarization observed in elastic and nematic materials. We obtain the explicit expression for SIP using the quantum kinetic equation and linear response theory. Based on a realistic hydrodynamic model, we compute the differential spin polarization along both the beam direction z[over ^] and the out-plane direction y[over ^] in noncentral heavy-ion collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200  GeV, including both SIP and thermal vorticity effects. We find that SIP contribution always shows the same azimuthal angle dependence as experimental data and competes with thermal vorticity effects. In the scenario that Λ inherits and memorizes the spin polarization of a strange quark, SIP wins the competition, and the resulting azimuthal angle dependent spin polarization P_{y} and P_{z} agree qualitatively with the experimental data.

    Abstract Objective. To explore the clinical manifestations, imaging features, and gene mutation characteristics of 6 children with cystic fibrosis (CF) so as to improve the understanding and diagnosis awareness of CF in children and reduce the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Methods. The clinical manifestations, imaging, and gene mutation data of six children with CF were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results. Among the 6 cases of CF, there were 4 males and 2 females. Among the 6 children with CF, 5 cases presented with recurrent respiratory tract infection. Etiology suggested 3 cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 2 cases of Staphylococcus aureus. 3 cases had pancreatic exocrine dysfunction, manifested as diarrhea and aliphatic diarrhea, of which 1 case had high lipase in blood examination, and pancreatic ultrasound showed rough and enhanced pancreatic echo, considering pancreatic cystic fibrosis. 2 cases of CF combined with pseudo-Bartter syndrome (PBS); 1 case involved only the biliary tract and started with cholestasis without other systemic involvement. In 2 cases of sweat test, sweat chloride ions were all >60 mmol/L. 3 cases underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and a large number of sticky secretions were visible under the bronchoscopy. CT of the chest revealed thickening of the bronchial wall (3 cases), bronchiectasis (1 case), atelectasis (1 case), and thin bronchial lumen (2 cases). 1 patient was found to have small airway lesions and mosaic perfusion during follow-up. All 6 children with CF underwent genetic testing. A total of 12 CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutations were found, of which 4 mutations were not reported in the literature. Conclusion. CF is a disease caused by CFTR mutation. The incidence of this disease in China is low, and the clinical manifestations have great differences. The main symptoms are respiratory symptoms. Some children have gastrointestinal symptoms and/or PBS, and some children only show a single systemic lesion.

    Abstract Objective. To investigate the related risk factors for bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) in children with mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) bronchiolitis. Method. The clinical data of 227 children with MP bronchiolitis who were admitted to the II Department of Respiratory of Children’s Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the sequelae of BO, they were divided into 32 cases in the BO group and 195 cases in the non-BO group. The univariate analysis was performed on the clinical and laboratory parameters of the two groups, and the multifactor logistic regression was performed further to determine the independent risk factors for the occurrence of BO in MP bronchiolitis, and then, the cut-off value with the maximum diagnostic value of indicators was found through the ROC curve analysis. Results. The results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for the occurrence of BO in MP bronchioles were longer duration of moist rales (OR=1.203, P=0.003), higher levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (OR=1.005, P=0.036), hypoxemia (OR=7.442, P=0.035), and pleural effusion (OR=4.437, P=0.004). The area under the ROC curve was 78.2%, 72.0%, 68.2%, and 71.0%, respectively (P<0.001). The cut-off value of duration of moist rales and levels of serum LDH are 7.5 d and 330 U/L, respectively. Conclusion. Children with MP bronchiolitis with high serum LDH level (≥330 U/L), combined with hypoxemia, pleural effusion, and lung wet rale duration (≥7.5 d), may be more prone to BO, in which lung wet rale duration prediction value is the largest. Among them, duration of pulmonary moist rales has the highest predictive value.
