    Objective  To investigate the correlation between visceral fat area (VFA) and abdominal aortic calcification in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Methods  Via cross-sectional survey,MHD patients in Beijing Luhe Hospital,Capital Medical University from April 2019 to May 2020 with complete data were selected and subjected to body composition analysis,excluding malnourished patients. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the degree of calcium by Abdominal Aortic Calcification Score (AACs),and the clinical characteristics and VFA level were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of abdominal aortic calcification (AAC),and the predictive value of VFA level to abdominal aortic calcification was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.  Results  A total of 152 patients with MHD were included in this study and divided into non-AAC group (n=32),mild AAC group (n=45),moderate AAC group (n=54) and severe AAC group (n=21). There were statistically significant differences in serum phosphorus,intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH),high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),VFA and whether diabetes mellitus was combined among 4 groups (P < 0.05). Univariate correlation showed that AACs score of non-malnourished MHD patients was significantly positively correlated with diabetes,serum phosphorus,iPTH,and VFA level (r=0.188,0.238,0.223,0.392,P < 0.05),was negatively correlated with HDL-C level (r=-0.228,P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that VFA and serum phosphorus were independent risk factors for AAC in MHD patients. ROC curve showed that the area under curve (AUC) of VFA in non-malnourished MHD patients for predicting AAC was 0.725 (P < 0.05),which had high predictive value. Conclusion  For non-malnourished MHD patients,elevated VFA is associated with the severity of AAC and is an independent risk factor for AAC,which may be a biological indicator for predicting the occurrence of AAC.

    Kang Yanhong, Gu Aiqin, Zhang Ying, Huang Shuai
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2024, 45 (2): 312-321.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2024.02.020
    Abstract176)      PDF(pc) (6236KB)(152)       Save
    Objective  To analyze differentially expressed proteins in cardiomyocytes after chromatin assembly factor 1 subunit B (CHAF1B) gene knockdown and predict the regulatory network, so as to provide reference for finding the potential therapeutic targets which can promote myocardial cell repair. Methods  Cell transfection and Western blotting methods were used to screen effective small interfering RNA (siRNA). Effective siRNA was used to knock down CHAF1B in human cardiac AC16 cells and then cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 method. The total protein was extracted, quantified, reduced, alkylated and then cleaved into peptides by trypsin. The peptides were identified by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method. Differentially expressed proteins were identified by searching UniProt protein resource. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment, and protein-protein interaction networks (PPI) analysis were conducted. Results  The survival of cardiomyocytes was significantly inhibited after CHAF1B gene knockdown by effective siRNA; the identification results of label-free protein quantitative mass spectrometry showed that there were 69 differentially expressed proteins, of which 50 proteins were significantly up-regulated (fold change≥2,P<0.05) and 19 were significantly down regulated (fold change≤0.5,P<0.05). GO analysis showed that these proteins mainly participated in biological processes such as macromolecular composite subunit matrix, cell component biogenesis and assembly, mainly distributed in the cytoplasm, vesicles and other regions, and played molecular functions such as protein binding. KEGG pathway enrichment and PPI analysis showed that the differentially expressed proteins participated in 10 signaling pathways such as proteasome, aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis, endocytosis, pyrimidine metabolism, and amino acid biosynthesis, etc. The significantly up-regulated proteins such as proteasome subunit alpha type-2 and beta type-7 as well as 26S proteasome regulatory subunit 6B and 10B participated in the proteasome pathway; seryl-tRNA synthetase, glycine-tRNA synthetase, glutamine-tRNA synthetase and lysine-tRNA synthetase mediated aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis. The significantly down regulated proteins, including actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 3 and heat shock 70 000 protein 1-like, participated in endocytosis; ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase large subunit mediated pyrimidine metabolism. The real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction results confirmed that after transfection with CHAF1B siRNA, the mRNA levels of the gene ARPC3, which synthesized the skeletal related protein 2/3 complex subunit 3, and the key gene QARS1 for aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis, were significantly reduced in cardiomyocytes. Conclusion  CHAF1B is a key protein for the survival of cardiomyocytes and participates in the regulation of various biological processes in cardiomyocytes. Referring to its regulatory network can help identify intervention steps that promote myocardial cell repair.

    Guo Jinxin, Jia Anna, Zhan Shijia, Zhang Yao, Zhang Xuan, Guo Yongli, Chang Yan
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2025, 46 (2): 296-305.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2025.02.016
    Abstract121)      PDF(pc) (9341KB)(145)       Save
    Objective  To elucidate the functional role and underlying mechanisms of the ribosome biogenesis factor BMS1 in neuroblastoma (NB) cellular proliferation. Methods  We utilized the R2 genomics analysis and visualization platform to analyze the correlation between BMS1 expression levels and clinical characteristics of NB children. The BMS1 mRNA level in three human neuroblastoma cells SK-N-BE(2), BE(2)-C, IMR-32 and two normal cells hTERT RPE-1, IMR-90 was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Two distinct small interfering RNA (siRNA) sequences were used to target BMS1 mRNA in NB cells SK-N-BE(2) and BE(2)-C, with normal cells hTERT RPE-1 serving as controls. We used RT-qPCR to quantify the mRNA levels of BMS1 and two key neuroblastoma-associated molecules (MYCN and p53). After transfection with siRNA, cellular proliferation was detected by various experimental approaches: crystal violet staining, real-time cell analysis (RTCA), colony-forming unit assay and immunofluorescence. Results  By analyzing two independent neuroblastoma clinical cohorts (GSE85047/NRC-283 and Westermann-144 datasets), it was found that the BMS1 mRNA level in MYCN-amplified NB was significantly higher than that in MYCN-non-amplified NB (P<0.05). Furthermore, the overall survival rate of NB children in the BMS1 high-expression group was decreased (P<0.05). Consistent with these clinical observations, the BMS1 mRNA level in NB cells SK-N-BE(2), BE(2)-C and IMR-32 was significantly higher than that in normal cells hTERT RPE-1, IMR-90 (P<0.05).  The targeted transient knockdown of BMS1 in NB cell lines SK-N-BE(2) and BE(2)-C resulted in decreased intracellular MYCN mRNA expression levels (P<0.05), significantly reduced cell proliferation capacity and colony-forming ability (P<0.05). Immunofluorescence revealed that the expression of Ki-67, a proliferation marker, was decreased (P<0.05). At the molecular level, RT-qPCR showed that  the p53 mRNA level was significantly elevated in the BMS1-knockdown groups (siBMS1-1# and siBMS1-2#) compared with the control group (P<0.05). However, transient knockdown of BMS1 had no significant impact on the proliferative capacity of normal cells hTERT RPE-1. Conclusion  BMS1 expression was up-regulated in MYCN-amplified NB and negatively correlated with the prognosis of the NB children. Mechanistically, interfering with BMS1 expression may transcriptionally activate p53 in NB cells, thereby inhibiting their proliferative ability, while having minimal impact on normal cells growth kinetics. These findings suggest that BMS1 serves as an important proliferation driver in NB and is expected to be a promising therapeutic target for NB children, particularly MYCN-amplified pediatric patients.

    Journal of Capital Medical University    2025, 46 (2): 252-262.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2025.02.011
    Abstract555)      PDF(pc) (5147KB)(139)       Save
    Objective  To explore the correlation between chronic diseases and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in middle-aged and older Chinese man.Methods  Data from the 2013 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were used, including 4 509 male participants aged 45 years and older. Chronic diseases and BPH diagnoses were obtained through a questionnaire survey. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for BPH. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to explore the nonlinear relationship between variables and BPH prevalence, while stratified analyses were conducted to assess the differential impact of chronic diseases on BPH prevalence in different subgroups.Results  Compared to patients without BPH, those with BPH had a significantly higher prevalence of comorbid chronic diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, chronic heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, chronic digestive diseases, arthritis or rheumatism, depression, and memory-related disorders. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis indicated that factors such as the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10) scores (OR = 1.043, 95% CI: 1.022-1.063, P < 0.001), chronic respiratory disease (OR = 1.518, 95% CI: 1.143-1.998, P = 0.003), chronic heart disease (OR = 1.515, 95% CI: 1.143-1.998, P = 0.003),  chronic kidney disease (OR = 2.384, 95% CI: 1.799-3.137, P < 0.001), and chronic digestive disease (OR=1.427, 95%CI:1.129-1.796,P=0.003) were independently associated with the occurrence of BPH. RCS analysis demonstrated no non-linear association between age, BMI, and CESD-10 scores and BPH. Stratified analysis revealed that the influence of these chronic conditions on BPH remained constantly stable across different subgroups.Conclusion  BPH is commonly comorbid with various chronic diseases. Future treatment strategies for BPH should consider the shared pathological mechanisms between BPH and these chronic conditions, with a focus on integrated interventions targeting common pathways.

    To summarize the clinical features and genetic characteristics of children with very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) caused by mutations in the interleukin 10 receptor A gene (IL10RA). Methods  Retrospective analysis was conducted on the children with chronic diarrhea hospitalized in the  Department of Gastroenterology Beijing Children's Hospital,Capital Medical University,from March 2007 to May 2019,who were diagnosed as very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Among them,15 cases were diagnosed because of IL-10RA gene mutation,and 15 cases with VEO-IBD caused by non IL-10RA mutations in the control group. Clinical characteristics and gene reports were statistically analyzed. Results  Children with VEO-IBD caused by IL-10RA gene mutations,11 cases of Crohn's disease (CD) and 4 cases of ulcerative colitis (UC). The clinical symptoms  were mainly chronic diarrhea (15/15 cases,100.0%) and hematochezia (15/15 cases,100.0%),Extraintestinal manifestations were oral mucosal ulcers (6/15 cases,40.0%),skin erythema (5/15 cases,33.3%),and perianal manifestations were recto-perineal fistula in 5 cases (5/15,33.3%),4 cases of anal fistula (4/15,26.7%), 3 cases of anal fissure (3/15,20.0%),1 case of coexistence of recto-perineal fistula and skin tag (1/15,6.7%), and systemic manifestations of IL-10RA mutation group, malnutrition 13 cases (13/15 cases, 86.7%) perianal diseae 13 cases (13/15 cases, 86.7%). The control group had malnutrition 6 cases (6/15 cases, 40.0%) and perianal disease 5 cases (5/15  cases,33.3%).Compared with the IL-10RA mutation group,  the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Among 15 children with IL-10RA mutations,a total of 9 mutation sites were detected,with c.301c>T (p.R101W) and c.537G>A (P.T179T) being the most common mutation sites. The IL-10RA mutation led to an increase in inflammatory factors,leading to intestinal inflammatory response. Both prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time were significantly prolonged.Conclusion  Children with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease caused by IL-10RA gene mutations have an earlier age of onset. In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms,extraintestinal manifestations and perianal lesions are more common. The most common lesions under colonoscopy are multiple ulcers in the colon,followed by inflammatory polyps. The most prevalent mutation sites were c.301c>T (p.R101W) and c. 537G>A (P.T179T). The IL-10RA mutation led to an increase in inflammatory factors,leading to intestinal inflammatory response.

    Abstract1300)      PDF(pc) (1777KB)(107)       Save
    Objective  To introduce the concepts and principles of the win ratio method and to analyze it in the context of a case study of a clinical trial in cerebrovascular disease. Methods  Based on the study of clopidogrel with aspirin in high risk patients with acute non disabling cerebrovascular events 2, and key prognostic factors, the outcome events were defined sequentially as ① time to death within 90 d, ② time to recurrence of ischemic stroke within 90 d, ③ time to moderate-to-severe hemorrhage within 90 d. Using clopidogrel combined with aspirin as the reference group, the winning ratio (Rw) of ticagrelor combined with aspirin was analyzed by the win ratio method, and the 95% confidence interval (CI) of Rw was estimated by the Bootstrap method and compared with the hazard ratio (HR) calculated by the competing risk model. Results  When only fatal events were considered, the win ratio method suggested that the ticagrelor group was significantly better than the clopidogrel group, Rw=2.00 (95%CI:1.52-2.47), and after stepwise inclusion of  ischemic stroke and moderate-to-severe hemorrhage recurrence, the win ratio method yielded a value of 1.29(95% CI:1.25-1.57), and the HR value from Fine and Gray competing risk regression was 0.78 (95% CI:0.65-0.95), both of which indicated that the efficacy of the ticagrelor group was superior to that of the clopidogrel group. Conclusion  The win ratio method can be used to analyze clinical trials with composite endpoints after prioritizing multiple outcome variables, showing the advantages of win ratio and its promising application in cerebrovascular disease research.

    Objective  To explore the association between cumulative exposure indicators of serum uric acid to serum creatinine ratio (SUA/Scr) and incident carotid plaque. Methods  This study included 9 228 individuals who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from the Beijing Health Management Cohort. The cumulative exposure, cumulative exposure burden and high exposure time of SUA/Scr were calculated based on the values of SUA/Scr in three physical examinations in 2010 to 2011 (visit 1), 2012 to 2013 (visit 2), and 2014 to 2015 (visit 3). Carotid plaque was diagnosed by carotid ultrasound, and the follow-up was until December 31, 2021. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between SUA/Scr cumulative exposure indicators and carotid plaque occurrence, and sensitivity analysis was performed by excluding the participants with the usage of antihypertensive drugs, or glucose-lowering drugs, or lipid-lowering drugs. Results  The mean age of the study population was (48.89±10.22) years, and 5 846(63.35%) participants were males. The participants were divided into four groups according to the quartiles of SUA/Scr cumulative exposure, namely Q1-Q4 groups. After adjusting for covariates in models, compared with Q1 group, the ORs (95%CIs) of incident carotid plaque in Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups were 1.221 (95%CI:1.066-1.400), 1.255(95%CI: 1.095-1.439) and 1.478 (95%CI:1.287-1.697). Cumulative exposure burden greater than 0 (OR=1.223,95%CI:1.109-1.349) and high exposure time of 6 years (OR=1.332,95%CI:1.171-1.515) were both associated with increased risk of carotid plaque occurrence. Sensitivity analysis excluded participants with the usage of any antihypertensive drugs, glucose-lowering drugs, or lipid-lowering drugs. The results were similar to those in main analysis. Conclusion Cumulative exposure, cumulative exposure burden and high exposure time of SUA/Scr were associated with increased risk of incident carotid plaque. In the primary prevention of carotid plaque, we should focus not only on SUA/Scr value at a single point time, but also on long-term monitoring of SUA/Scr values.

    Objective  To construct a bispecific antibody targeting epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) and OX40 and evaluate the function for tumor-specific T cell activation. Methods  The gene of anti-OX40/anti-EGFR bispecific antibody was cloned into eukaryotic expression vector, and then the constructed vector were transfected to 293F cells for the bispecific antibody purification. The binding activity of anti-OX40/anti-EGFR bispecific antibody with the cells expressing target proteins  were detected by flow cytometry. To identify the activation of T cells mediated by anti-OX40/anti-EGFR bispecific antibody, the activation of NF-κB signal activation was evaluated by Jurkat-OX40-NF-κB-GFP reporter cells and the activation of primary T cells was detected by interleukin-2(IL-2) and interferon-γ(IFN-γ) secretion of peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC). Results  Anti-OX40/anti-EGFR bispecific antibody was successfully constructed and purified, and its binding ability to HEK293 cells expressing OX40 and EGFR was verified. Jurkat-OX40-NF-κB-GFP reporter cells were activated by the bispecific antibody with the crosslinking of A549 cells. Further, the anti-OX40/anti-EGFR bispecific antibody promoted the secretion of IL-2 and IFN-γ of PBMC. Conclusion  Anti-OX40/anti-EGFR bispecific antibody was successfully constructed which could specifically recognize OX40 and EGFR and activate tumor specific T cells.

    Objective  To establish the fingerprints of the standard decoction of radix Paeoniae Alba, and to identify the active ingredients of radix Paeoniae Alba, in order to provide theoretical basis for the quality control and clinical application of radix Paeoniae Alba. Methods  Ten batches of radix Paeoniae Alba were collected and the standard decoction of radix Paeoniae Alba was prepared; the fingerprints of the standard decoction of radix Paeoniae Alba were established by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), and the fingerprints were analyzed by the 2012 version of the Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System for Traditional Chinese Medicine; and the common peaks were identified by comparing with the control product, and by checking the mass spectral data with the literature. Results  The fingerprints of 10 batches of standard decoction of radix Paeoniae Alba were identified with 22 common peaks, and the peaks were well separated, with the similarity of each sample>0.9. Five common peaks were recognized, which were catechin, albiflora, paeoniflorin,  pyrethrin II, and benzoylpaeoniflorin, respectively. Conclusion  The established fingerprint method has good precision, reproducibility and stability, and can provide a basis for the quality evaluation of radix Paeoniae Alba.
