Abstract
Refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a significant complication resulting from allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown promise for treating refractory cGVHD, but the favorable effects of MSCs therapy in cGVHD are complex and not fully understood. In this prospective clinical study, 20 of 23 cGVHD patients had a complete response or partial response in a 12-month follow-up study. The most marked improvements in cGVHD symptoms were observed in the skin, oral mucosa and liver. Clinical improvement was accompanied by a significantly increased number of interleukin (IL)-10-producing CD5+ B cells. Importantly, CD5+ B cells from cGVHD patients showed increased IL-10 expression after MSCs treatment, which was associated with reduced inflammatory cytokine production by T cells. Mechanistically, MSCs could promote the survival and proliferation of CD5+ regulatory B cells (Bregs), and indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase partially participates in the MSC-mediated effects on Breg cells. Thus, CD5+ Breg cells may have an important role in the process of MSC-induced amelioration of refractory cGVHD and may provide new clues to reveal novel mechanisms of action for MSCs.

[PMID: 24628621 DOI: 10.1111/dme.12432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2013] [Revised: 11/24/2013] [Accepted: 03/09/2014] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
AIM To determine the relationship between HbA1c and mean blood glucose concentrations by using HbA1c -mean blood glucose formulae for people on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. METHODS A total of 305 people on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, including 13 people with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, 161 people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and 131 people without diabetes, from a single peritoneal dialysis centre at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, were enrolled between January 2006 and June 2011. Serum HbA1c concentration was measured quarterly and other laboratory variables, including blood glucose, were measured every month. The formulae were established using regression analysis and adjusted for other factors. The estimated blood glucose level calculated using our formulae was compared with that using previous formulae namely the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial and A1c -Derived Average Glucose formulae for people not on dialysis and the Hoshino formula for people on haemodialysis. RESULTS The HbA1c -mean blood glucose formulae obtained by linear regression analysis were: 1) mBGmmol/l = 0.107 × HbA1c (mmol/mol) + 1.764 [adjusted R(2) (Radj2) = 0.494]; 2) mBGmmol/l = 0.101 × HbA1c (mmol/mol) - 0.001 × Cr (μmol/l) + 2.850 (Radj2 = 0.507); 3) mBGmmol/l = 0.102 × HbA1c (mmol/mol) - 0.095 × Alb (g/l) + 5.394 (Radj2 = 0.521); and 4) mBGmmol/l = 0.099 × HbA1c (mmol/mol) - 0.001 × Cr (μmol/l)-0.084 × Alb (g/l) + 5.754 (Radj2 = 0.526), where mBG is mean blood glucose, Cr is serum creatinine and Alb is serum albumin. These new formulae performed as well as or better than previous formulae. CONCLUSIONS The relationship between HbA1c and mean blood glucose for people on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis differs from that for people not on dialysis or for those on haemodialysis. Clinicians and patients can determine glycaemic control targets by applying our formulae.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the effects of exposure to compressed air on tunnel workers' health and to investigate the prevalence of dysbaric osteonecrosis (DON) in caisson workers. METHODS 128 tunnel workers were divided into the exposed group (n = 58) and the control group (n = 70), and their shoulders, hips and knees were examined with X-ray, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS 1) 34.5% of the exposed group were diagnosed with DON based on the national diagnostic criteria of decompression sickness. 2) The incidental difference of skeletal cystic changes between the exposed group and the control group was highly statistically significant (p < 0.01). 3) CT and MRI examination could detect early onset of DON lesions, and the cystic changes shown in CT and abnormal signals in MRI were diagnostic indicators in cases. CONCLUSION Cystic changes in CT and abnormal signals in MRI are key imaging findings of early DON.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal agents and duration of primary antifungal prophylaxis in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remain a matter of discussion. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare the efficacy and safety of long-term and short-term administration of itraconazole (ITCZ) for primary antifungal prophylaxis in allo-HSCT recipients. METHODS This multicenter, randomized, open-label pilot study was performed in 4 transplant centers in China. Recipients of allo-HSCT without a history of invasive fungal disease (IFD) were randomly assigned to the long-term or the short-term arm. Randomization was carried out by a center computer system. Intravenous ITCZ was given to the patients in both study arms with a loading dose of 400 mg/day for 2 days followed by 200 mg/day until day +14 or when the white blood cell count was >1.0 × 10(9) /L, and then switched to oral ITCZ solution; prophylaxis was continued until day +30 post transplantation in the short-term arm or until day +90 in the long-term arm. The trough serum concentrations of ITCZ also were measured. The primary study endpoint was the incidence of IFD (proven, probable, and possible) within day +90 post transplantation. RESULTS A total of 128 recipients were enrolled in this study; 59 of them were randomized to the long-term arm and 62 were randomized to the short-term arm, forming the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) set. The incidence of IFD within day +90, the primary endpoint, was not significantly different between the 2 arms for the mITT set (6.78% in the long-term arm vs. 6.45% in the short-term arm, P = 0.94), or for the per-protocol set (6.90% in the long-term arm vs. 6.67% in the short-term arm, P = 0.96). From day +30 to day +90, the incidence of IFD was 0% and 6.45%, respectively, in the patients with long-term and short-term prophylaxis for the mITT set (P = 0.11). The mean trough serum concentrations of ITCZ was maintained at >500 ng/mL throughout administration. The incidences of withdrawal because of drug-related adverse events in patients with long-term and short-term prophylaxis were 6.78% and 0%, respectively (P = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Long-term and short-term administration of ITCZ both seemed effective in preventing IFD in recipients of allo-HSCT. Further study with large sample size should be performed to evaluate this result. ITCZ shows the same pharmacokinetics in recipients of allo-HSCT as in non-recipients.

DNA methylation of leptin and adiponectin promoters in children is reduced by the combined presence of obesity and insulin resistance. Int J Obes (Lond) 2014; 38:1457-65.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epigenetic alterations have been suggested to be associated with obesity and related metabolic disorders. Here we examined the correlation between obesity and insulin resistance with the methylation frequency of the leptin (LEP) and adiponectin (ADIPOQ) promoters in obese adolescents with the aim to identify epigenetic markers that might be used as tools to predict and follow up the physiological alterations associated with the development of the metabolic syndrome. SUBJECTS One hundred and six adolescents were recruited and classified according to body mass index and homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance index. The circulating concentrations of leptin, adiponectin and of several metabolic markers of obesity and insulin resistance were determined by standard methods. The methylation frequency of the LEP and ADIPOQ promoters was determined by methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR) in DNA obtained from peripheral blood samples. RESULTS Obese adolescents without insulin resistance showed higher and lower circulating levels of, respectively, leptin and adiponectin along with increased plasmatic concentrations of insulin and triglycerides. They also exhibited the same methylation frequency than lean subjects of the CpG sites located at -51 and -31 nt relative to the transcription start site of the LEP gene. However, the methylation frequency of these nucleotides dropped markedly in obese adolescents with insulin resistance. We found the same inverse relationship between the combined presence of obesity and insulin resistance and the methylation frequency of the CpG site located at -283 nt relative to the start site of the ADIPOQ promoter. CONCLUSIONS These observations sustain the hypothesis that epigenetic modifications might underpin the development of obesity and related metabolic disorders. They also validate the use of blood leukocytes and MS-PCR as a reliable and affordable methodology for the identification of epigenetic modifications that could be used as molecular markers to predict and follow up the physiological changes associated with obesity and insulin resistance.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine if zona pellucida (ZP) opening before cryopreservation or after thawing would effect cryosurvivability and hatching rate of vitrified blastocysts produced by IVF. The IVF blastocysts were derived from oocytes obtained from abattoir ovaries; 15–20 μm ZP opening by a XYClone® system (Hamilton Thorne Biosciences, Beverly, MA, USA), using a pulse strength of 90% and pulse length of 800 μs, was adopted for assisted hatching. The hatching rates of fresh blastocysts of various ages with or without ZP opening were observed within 24 h. Furthermore, 20% ethylene glycol (EG) + 20% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + 0.5 M sucrose was adopted as vitrificaiton medium in the following experiments, and the expanded blastocysts harvested on Days 6, 7, 8, and 9 were respectively divided into three groups: Group 1: the blastocysts were vitrified after 15 to 20 μm ZP opening opposite to the inner cell mass, and the blastocoels were also blotted in order to outflow the blastocoelic fluid before vitrification; Group 2: the 15 to 20 μm ZP cutting by laser was performed immediately after thawing; Group 3: as control, the blastocysts were vitrified and thawed without any other treatment. The thawed blastocysts in different groups were cultured for 72 h to observe the survival and hatching rates. The results showed that 1) the hatching rate of fresh Day 9 blastocysts that underwent ZP cutting was higher than that of fresh counterpart (77.8% v. 50.0%, 28/36 v. 20/40, P < 0.05); 2) after vitrification, the ZP of blastocysts was averagely thickened for 2.8 μm; and 3) the cryosurvival and hatching rates of Days 6 to 8 blastocysts in three groups were not different from each other, whereas as for Day 9 blastocysts, the cryosurvival rate of vitrified blastocysts in Group 1 was significantly higher than Group 3 (75.0% v. 53.8%, 30/40 v. 28/52, P < 0.05), and the hatching rate of vitrified blastocysts in Group 2 was significantly higher than Group 3 (80.0% v. 42.9%, 16/20 v. 12/28, P < 0.05). In conclusion, laser-assisted hatching can promote the hatching rate of fresh and vitrified blastocysts derived from Day 9. Furthermore, ZP opening and blastocoel breaking before vitrification can also improve the cryosurvival rate of Day 9 blastocysts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin have been recommended to decrease glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients whose blood glucose control are unsatisfactory by using oral hypoglycemic drugs. AIM To systematically estimate the therapeutic effect and security of insulin glargine and insulin detemir for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched the Cochrane library, PubMed, EMBASE, etc databases. Quality evaluation of all randomized control tests (RCT) enrolled was conducted according to Cochrane manual, and meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan5.0 software. RESULTS Both insulin glargine and insulin detemir can effectively control T2DM patient's blood glucose. CONCLUSIONS Insulin detemir has evident superiority on reducing body weight than insulin glargine. As the doses are concerned, daily insulin dose of insulin detemir is higher than insulin glargine.

Abstract
In this study, a synchronous fluorescence detection method for ferulic acid (FA) is proposed based on a redox reaction between FA and Ce(IV) sulfate in dilute sulfuric acid medium at room temperature. It was found that FA could reduce Ce(IV) to Ce(III) in acidic medium, and sodium tripolyphosphate could further enhance the intrinsic fluorescence of the Ce(III) produced. The enhanced extent of synchronous fluorescence intensity was in proportion to the concentration of FA over the range 3.0 × 10(-8) to 1.0 × 10(-5) mol/L. The corresponding limit of determination (S/N = 3) was 1.3 × 10(-8) mol/L. The proposed method was applied to the determination of sodium ferulate for injection sample with satisfactory results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We hypothesize that intervertebral disc (IVD) cells from distinct region respond differently to oxygen environment, and that IVD cells from patients with disc degeneration can benefit from hypoxia condition. Therefore, we aimed to determine the transcriptional response and extracellular matrix (ECM) production of nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF) cells to different oxygen tension. METHOD Human NP and AF from degenerated IVD were seeded in 3D scaffolds and subjected to varying oxygen tension (2% and 20%) for 3 weeks. Changes in ECM were evaluated using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, histological and immunohistological analyses. RESULTS Hypoxia significantly enhances NP cells phenotype, which resulted in greater production of sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and collagen type II within the constructs and the cells expressed higher levels of genes encoding NP ECM. A significantly stronger fluorescent signal for hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) as also found in the NP cells under the hypoxic than normoxic condition. However, there was little effect of hypoxia on the AF cells. CONCLUSIONS The NP and AF cells respond differently to hypoxia condition on the 3D scaffold, and hypoxia could enhance NP phenotype. When used in concert with appropriate scaffold material, human NP cells from degenerated disc could be regenerated for tissue engineering application.

Abstract
Although a commonly applied measure across the United States and Europe for alleviating the negative impacts of urbanization on the hydrological cycle, low impact development (LID) has not been widely used in highly urbanized areas, especially in rapidly urbanizing cities in developing countries like China. In this paper, given five LID practices including Bio-Retention, Infiltration Trench, Porous Pavement, Rain Barrels, and Green Swale, an analysis on LID for highly urbanized areas' waterlogging control is demonstrated using the example of Caohejing in Shanghai, China. Design storm events and storm water management models are employed to simulate the total waterlogging volume reduction, peak flow rate reduction and runoff coefficient reduction of different scenarios. Cost-effectiveness is calculated for the five practices. The aftermath shows that LID practices can have significant effects on storm water management in a highly urbanized area, and the comparative results reveal that Rain Barrels and Infiltration Trench are the two most suitable cost-effective measures for the study area.

Abstract
The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål; BPH) is one of the most serious rice pests worldwide. Growing resistant varieties is the most effective way to manage this insect, and wild rice species are a valuable source of resistance genes for developing resistant cultivars. BPH27 derived from an accession of Guangxi wild rice, Oryza rufipogon Griff. (Accession no. 2183, hereafter named GX2183), was primarily mapped to a 17-cM region on the long arm of the chromosome four. In this study, fine mapping of BPH27 was conducted using two BC(1)F(2) populations derived from introgression lines of GX2183. Insect resistance was evaluated in the BC(1)F(2) populations with 6,010 individual offsprings, and 346 resistance extremes were obtained and employed for fine mapping of BPH27. High-resolution linkage analysis defined the BPH27 locus to an 86.3-kb region in Nipponbare. Regarding the sequence information of rice cultivars, Nipponbare and 93-11, all predicted open reading frames (ORFs) in the fine-mapping region have been annotated as 11 types of proteins, and three ORFs encode disease-related proteins. Moreover, the average BPH numbers showed significant differences in 96-120 h after release in comparisons between the preliminary near-isogenic lines (pre-NILs, lines harboring resistance genes) and BaiR54. BPH growth and development were inhibited and survival rates were lower in the pre-NIL plants compared with the recurrent parent BaiR54. The pre-NIL exhibited 50.7% reductions in population growth rates (PGR) compared to BaiR54. The new development in fine mapping of BPH27 will facilitate the efforts to clone this important resistant gene and to use it in BPH-resistance rice breeding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene polymorphism (-1082A/G) has been shown to be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but findings are not consistent across studies. The aim of our meta-analysis was to assess the association between the -1082A/G polymorphism in the IL-10 gene and SLE. METHODS We searched all publications on the association between the IL-10 (-1082A/G) polymorphism and SLE in PubMed, Elsevier Science Direct, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang (Chinese). Meta-analysis was conducted using software Stata version 10.1. Meta-odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) based on fixed-/random-effects models depended on Cochran's Q-statistic and I(2) values. RESULTS A total of 17 studies with 2396 cases and 3653 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis was performed for genotypes GG versus AA, GG + AG versus AA, GG versus AG + AA, and G allele versus A allele. Significant differences were found in genotype distribution between SLE and normal controls in whole-population GG versus AA (OR = 1.428, 95% CI = 1.006-2.208). Similar results were detected in the dominant genetics effect of the G allele (OR = 1.202, 95% CI = 1.030-1.403). No significant association was found in allele distribution in whole-population G versus A (OR = 1.125, 95% CI = 0.998-1.269). In subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significant association was found when GG + AG versus AA was performed in a European population (OR = 1.240, 95% CI = 1.022-1.503) and GG versus AG + AA was performed in an Asian population (OR = 3.596, 95% CI = 1.389-9.311). Significant association was found between genotype distribution in Asians (OR = 4.491, 95% CI = 1.552-13.000). Publication year was detected as the source of heterogeneity. In the stratified analysis by publication year, the pooled OR was 1.049 (95% CI = 0.940-1.171; P (heterogeneity) = 0.431; I(2) ( )= 0.4%) in subgroup 1 (publication years 1999-2004). No significant association was found between the IL-10 (-1082 G) allele and SLE in subgroup 1 (Z = 0.85, p = 0.431). In subgroup 2 (publication years 2005-2011), the pooled OR was 1.327 (95% CI = 1.125-1.565; P (heterogeneity) = 0.143; I(2) ( )= 35.8%). Significant association was found between the IL-10 (-1082 G) allele and SLE (Z = 3.36, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis demonstrates the association between the IL-10 (-1082A/G) polymorphism and SLE. However, further studies are needed for a definitive conclusion.

Abstract
Pulmonary sparganosis mansoni is uncommon in general clinical practice, but prevalent in endemic foci. Pulmonary sparganosis mansoni shares some clinical and radiologic similarities that mimic other common pulmonary pathogens. Delayed diagnosis of pulmonary sparganosis mansoni can pose a significant hazard to the patient. Indeed, a history of ingesting uncooked stone cracks in endemic areas is strongly suggestive of the possibility of pulmonary sparganosis mansoni. We report a case of a 43-year-old male peasant infested with pulmonary sparganosis mansoni who had been misdiagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Excessive secretion of glucagon partially contributes to the development of diabetic hyperglycaemia. However, complete blocking of glucagon action will lead to adverse effects, since glucagon exerts certain beneficial effects via its receptor in many organs. We aimed to study the effects of a 'decoy receptor' for circulating glucagon on modulating beta cell function and glucose homeostasis in mice by over-producing the glucagon receptor (GCGR) in skeletal muscles. METHODS We generated transgenic mice in which the expression of Gcgr is driven by the muscle specific creatine kinase (Mck) promoter, and assessed the effects of glucagon on the modulation of glucose homeostasis under conditions of extremes of glucose influx or efflux. RESULTS Mck/Gcgr mice showed increased circulating levels of glucagon and insulin, resulting in an unchanged ratio of glucagon-to-insulin. The levels of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (F1,6P2ase) were significantly decreased, whereas the phosphorylation level of pancreatic cAMP-response-element-binding-protein (CREB) was significantly increased in these transgenic mice. Under basal conditions, the mice displayed normal blood glucose levels and unchanged glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity when compared with their age-matched wild-type (WT) littermates. However, following multiple low-dose streptozotocin injections, Mck/Gcgr mice exhibited a delay in the onset of hyperglycaemia compared with the WT controls. This was associated with preserved beta cell mass and beta cell secretory capacity in response to glucose challenge. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION We suggest that mild and chronic hyperglucagonaemia, through a strategy involving neutralising peripheral glucagon action, provides beneficial effects on beta cell function and glucose homeostasis. Mck/Gcgr mice thus represent a novel mouse model for studying the physiological effects of glucagon.
