[PMID: 38388236 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.02.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 02/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been no data on the immunogenicity and safety of the 4th booster dose of the sIPV immunization in 18-24 months old children in post-marketing studies of large cohort providing with robust results. METHOD In a phase Ⅳ randomized, double-blinded clinical trial, 1200 participants aged 2 months were immunized with three consecutive doses of sIPV at 2, 3, and 4 months old to complete primary immunization. Out of the 1200 participants, 1129 received the 4th dose of sIPV as booster immunization. Immunogenicity was evaluated in 1100 participants. RESULTS Seropositive rates of the anti-poliovirus type 1, 2, and 3 neutralizing antibodies were 99.9 %, 98.0 %, 98.2 %, respectively, with GMTs of 557.0, 146.1, 362.0 one year after primary vaccination. After booster vaccination between 18 and 24 months old, the seropositive rates for 3 types all reached 100.0 %, with GMTs of 8343.6, 5039.6, 5492.0, respectively. Particularly for the anti-poliovirus type 2 antibody, the GMT was 230.4 after primary immunization, maintained to 146.1 one year after primary immunization, and increased to as high as 5039.6 after booster vaccination. The GMT ratios between each batch groups after booster immunization were between 0.67 and 1.50, meeting the immunological equivalence criteria. The incidence rate of adverse reaction was 23.0 %, which was comparable to those in the phase Ⅲ trial but had a lower incidence. Furthermore, no SUSAR was reported in this study. INTERPRETATION In conclusion, as the anti-poliovirus antibodies gradually waned one year post sIPV primary vaccination, especially the type 2 antibody waned to a very low level, suggesting the importance of the booster immunization for children at the age of 18-24 months old. The booster shot can greatly enhance the antibody level and protect children from the potential risk of infection with WPV and VDPV by supplementing the anti-poliovirus type 2 immunity gap in the current real world.

Quantitative Analysis of the Instant and Persistent Inhibition Effects of Maternal Poliovirus Antibodies on the Immune Response in a Phase IV Trial of a Sabin Strain-Based Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine. Vaccines (Basel) 2024; 12:217. [PMID: 38400200 PMCID: PMC10892800 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines12020217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 02/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND An inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine made from Sabin strains (sIPVs) has widely been used in China since 2015. However, the quantitative data on the instant and persistent inhibition effects of maternal poliovirus antibodies on the immune response to sIPV priming and booster vaccination have not been available yet. OBJECTIVE In this study, we aim to explore and quantify the instant and persistent inhibition effect of maternal poliovirus antibodies on the immune response elicited by sIPV primary and booster vaccination. METHODS The immunogenicity data consisting of the days 0 and 30 after the prime and booster vaccination of the sIPV in a phase IV trial were pooled for a quantitative analysis of the inhibition effect of maternal poliovirus antibody. The geometric mean ratio (GMR) was calculated using linear regression models, representing that every 2-fold higher maternal poliovirus antibody titer may result in a (1-GMR) lower postimmunization antibody titer. RESULTS The GMRs for poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 were 0.79 (0.77-0.82), 0.85 (0.81-0.89), and 0.87 (0.83-0.91) at 30 days after the priming series, 0.86 (0.83-0.89), 0.81 (0.76-0.85), and 0.86 (0.80-0.93) at one year after the priming series, and 0.96 (0.94-0.99), 0.89 (0.86-0.93), and 0.98 (0.93-1.03) at 30 days after the booster dose. The inhibition effect continued to exist until the booster dose 1 year later, and such a persistent inhibition effect was almost attenuated for poliovirus types 1 and 3, and partly reduced for type 2 at 30 days after the booster dose. CONCLUSION A wider interval between the four sIPV doses might be a consideration for reducing the effect of maternal antibodies and subsequently eliciting and maintaining higher antibody levels to protect against poliovirus transmission and infection at the final stage of polio eradication in the global world. This study's clinical trial registry number is NCT04224519.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Over 70% of NPC patients were local advanced NPC (LANPC). The 5-year local recurrence-free survival rate is only 70% in T3-4 patients. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) was recommended for LANPC patients. Low-dose fractionated radiotherapy (LDFRT), which is <100cGy, induces enhanced cell killing by the hyper-radiation sensitivity phenomenon and potentiates effects of chemotherapy. The synergy of LDFRT and NACT has not been used in the clinical practice and few studies focused on it. A single arm study found the ORR of primary site was improved to 90% for head and neck squamous carcinoma patients treated with LDFRT and NACT. Our previous study found the ORR of lymph nodes was higher in LDFRT group for high-risk LANPC patients. However, another study showed there was no significant difference between LDFRT and control group for LANPC patients. So, we aimed to investigate the potential efficacy of this novel neoadjuvant therapy for T3-4 NPC patients. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 60 pathological confirmed T3-4 (UICC/AJCC8th) NPC patients were prospectively enrolled in our study. They were randomly assigned to two groups. For the LDFRT group, the patients received 3 cycles of NACT (docetaxel 75mg/m2 D1, cisplatin 80mg/m2 D1) with LDFRT, and followed with CCRT. LDFRT was delivered as 50cGy per fraction twice a day to primary site on D1,2 for each cycle of NACT. The patients in the control group only received NACT and followed with CCRT. All the patients underwent IGRT. RECIST criteria and CTCAE 5.0 was used to evaluate the ORR and toxicity at post-NACT and the completion of CCRT. RESULTS From February 2022 to December 2022, 60 T3-4 NPC patients were included, and 30 patients for each group. For the primary site, the median volume reduction rate and the ORR after NACT was significantly improved in LDFRT group (69.27% vs 40.10%, p<0.001;93.33% vs 73.33%, p = 0.038). For the median volume reduction rate of primary site and lymph node, it was also obviously improved in LDFRT group (86.59% vs 55.43%, p<0.001). Though there was a tendency of ORR improvement in LDFRT group, but no significant difference (96.67% vs 83.33%, p = 0.195). After the completion of CCRT, the median volume reduction rate of primary site had an increased tendency in LDFRT group (96.16% vs 88.3%, p = 0.065), but the ORR had no statistical significance (LDFRT group: CR 45.8%, PR 54.2%; control group: CR 37.5%, PR 62.5%). For the toxicity, the incidence of grade 3-4 adverse events had no difference between two groups (p = 0.786). No grade 5 adverse events occurred. CONCLUSION LDFRT combined with NACT could obviously improve the median volume reduction rate and ORR of primary tumor for T3-4 NPC patients, and the toxicity was similar and tolerable. This novel treatment could be a promising strategy to improve treatment response and needed to be confirmed further.

Abstract
Aims To test the effect of Hsa-miR-183-3p on cell aging and disc degeneration in lumbar intervertebral disc. Methods This study combined clinical research with basic cell experiment, analyzing clinical data from patients with lumbar disc degeneration and traumatic lumbar spine fracture, as well as the differences in baseline data. The degree of lumbar disc injury in patients of different ages was also compared. Differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted via GEO database, and qPCR confirmation was determined by collecting cartilage endplates from two groups. ACAN, Col2A1, p16, p21, and p53 were detected by immunofluorescence, Western blot and qPCR in human nucleus pulposus cells. Changes of cell senescence were detected. The binding of Hsa-miR-183-3p to ataxia-telangiectasia mutated protein was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter assay. Results Degenerative discs showed elevated expression of hsa-miR-183-3p, which may be upregulated by TNF-α via NF-κB signaling pathway and target ataxia-telangiectasia mutated protein regulation. Conclusion Degeneration of the intervertebral disc can be accelerated by TNF-α. Additionally, Hsa-miR-183-3p passed NF-κB signaling pathway is blocked via up-regulation of TNF-α to reduce inflammation via targeting ataxia-telangiectasia mutated protein. As a result, this negative feedback mechanism may assist in maintaining a low degenerative load and preserving chronic disc degeneration.

Immunogenicity and safety of the inactivated enterovirus 71 vaccine administered concomitantly with the measles-rubella vaccine in infants aged 8 months in China: A noninferiority randomized controlled trial. Vaccine 2022; 40:4709-4715. [PMID: 35753838 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.06.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of simultaneous administration of the enterovirus 71 (EV71) vaccine with the measles and rubella (MR) combined vaccine. METHODS In this phase 4, randomized, open-label and noninferiority study, a total of 680 infants aged 8 months were enrolled and assigned to the simultaneous administration group (infants received the first dose of EV71 vaccine and MR vaccine on Day 0, and the second dose of EV71 vaccine on Day 28), or the separate administration groups (EV71 group: infants received two doses of EV71 vaccine on Day 0 and Day 28, respectively; MR group: infants received MR vaccine on Day 0). Blood sample was obtained on Day 0 and Day 56 to measure antibody responses to each of the antigens in terms of antibody titer or concentration, respectively. Local and systemic adverse reactions (ARs) and other adverse events (AEs) following each dose were monitored and compared among groups. RESULTS After vaccination, simultaneous administration group showed similar seroconversion rates of antibody against EV71(97.9%), measles (97.4%), and rubella (94.3%) compared to EV71 group (99.6% for anti-EV71) or MR group (98.4% for anti-measles and 98.9% for anti-rubella, respectively). Noninferiority was demonstrated for all antibodies as the lower limits of two-sided 97.5% confidence intervals (CIs) of the difference in seroconversion rates between simultaneous administration group and separate administration groups were above the predefined margin of -10%. Additionally, the adverse reaction rates were comparable among groups (54.4% in the simultaneous group versus 43.9% in the MR group versus 52.6% in the EV71 group). CONCLUSION Antibody responses induced by simultaneous administration of EV71 vaccine with MR vaccine were robust and noninferior to those by single administration alone. Like the previous findings by single administration alone, simultaneous administration demonstrated comparable reactogenicity and safety profiles.

Abstract
In this study, we investigate harnessing fibrocartilage stem cell (FCSC) capacities by regulating tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) signaling for cartilage repair in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). Stem cell specifics for FCSCs were characterized in the presence of TNF-α. Etanercept as a TNF-α inhibitor and BAY 11-7082 as an Nf-κB inhibitor were used to study TNF-α regulation of FCSCs. Lineage tracing was performed in Gli1-CreERT+;Tmfl/fl mice when etanercept (1 mg/kg, every 3 d) or isometric vehicle was subcutaneously injected to trace specific changes in FCSCs. Surgically induced TMJOA Sprague-Dawley rats were generated with BAY 11-7082 (5 mg/kg, every 3 d) or vehicle subcutaneous injection to investigate the functional role of TNF-α/Nf-κB in TMJOA. Anterior disc displacement (ADD) rabbits were used to analyze the therapeutic effect of etanercept as a TMJOA intra-articular treatment with etanercept (0.02 mg in 100 μL, every 2 wk) or isometric vehicle. In vitro, TNF-α inhibited proliferation of FCSCs and increased FCSC apoptosis. TNF-α activation interfered with osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of FCSCs, while etanercept could partially recover FCSC specificity from TNF-α. FCSC lineage tracing in Gli1-CreERT+;Tmfl/fl mice showed that the chondrogenic capacity of Gli1+ cell lineage was markedly suppressed in osteoarthritis cartilage, the phenotype of which could be significantly rescued by etanercept. Specifically blocking the Nf-κB pathway could significantly weaken the regulatory effect of TNF-α on FCSC specificity in vitro and in TMJOA rats in vivo. Finally, intra-articular etanercept treatment efficiently rescued TMJ cartilage degeneration and growth retardation in ADD rabbits. Inhibition of TNF-α signaling reduced Nf-κB transcripts and recovered FCSC specificities. In vivo, etanercept treatment effectively rescued the osteoarthritis phenotype in TMJOA mice and ADD rabbits. These data suggest a novel therapeutic mechanism whereby TNF-α/Nf-κB inhibition promotes FCSC chondrogenic capacity for cartilage transformation in TMJOA.

Abstract
D- red blood cells (RBCs), always in short supply, and Rh immune globulin (RhIG) are not needed for patient care if D+ RBCs can safely be transfused. According to a recent work group recommendation, patients with the RHD*weak D type 4.0 allele can be considered D+. We report an African American woman who presented for delivery at the end of the third trimester, at which time anti-U and a serologic weak D phenotype were recognized, requiring U-, D- RBC units. We obtained 3 U- RBC units, including 1 D- unit. Later, the RHD*weak D type 4.0 allele was determined by RHD genotyping, only 6 days before delivery. The patient had an uneventful vaginal delivery of a D+ baby. No transfusion was needed for mother or baby. In this case, a pregnant woman with the RHD*weak D type 4.0 allele can safely be managed as D+, relaxing the unnecessary D- restriction for the limited U- RBC supply. The procured U-, D- RBC unit was frozen with 14 days of shelf-life remaining. To conserve D- RBC units, not limited to U-, for patients with a definite need, we recommend molecular analysis of a serologic weak D phenotype before a transfusion becomes imminent. The best time to resolve a serologic weak D phenotype with RHD genotyping is early in a pregnancy. Immunohematology 2021;37:1-4 .

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical application value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT imaging combined with detection of serum tumor molecular markers (carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA 125) and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4)) in the diagnosis of recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical data about 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging and serum CA125 and HE4 of 69 ovarian cancer patients after the first cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical application value of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging combined with detection of CA125 and HE4 in the diagnosis of recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer was evaluated. RESULTS The 18F-FDG PET/CT images of recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer showed hypermetabolism. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, predictive positive value, and predictive negative value of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging for the diagnosis of recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer were 90.74%, 86.67%, 89.86%, 96.08%, and 72.22%, respectively; those of CA125 for the diagnosis of them were 77.78%, 86.67%, 79.71%, 95.45% and 52.00%, respectively, and those of HE4 for the diagnosis of them were 70.37%, 93.33%, 76.84%, 97.44%, and 48.39% respectively. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of 18F-FDG PET/CT combined with detection of serum CA125 and HE4 for the diagnosis were 100.00% and 100.00%, respectively, significantly higher than those of separate 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging, detection of serum CA125, and detection of serum HE4 (c2 = 5.243, 13.500, 18.783, p = 0.022, 0.000, 0.000; c2 = 4.000, 8.525, 9.864, p = 0.046, 0.004, 0.002), and the accuracy of the combination use of them was 95.65%, also significantly higher than that of separate CA125 and HE4 (c2 = 8.118, 10.315, p = 0.004, 0.001, both p < 0.01). Furthermore, the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging for recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer focuses was significantly positively correlated with serum CA125 and HE4 levels (r = 0.596, p = 0.000; r = 0.431, p = 0.002), and the serum CA125 level was also significantly positively correlated with serum HE4 level in patients with recurrent or metastasized ovarian cancer (r = 0.198, p = 0.043,). CONCLUSIONS 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging combined with detection of serum CA125 and HE4 can significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency to recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer and is conducive to the early diagnosis of the recurrence and metastasis, which provides a basis for further clinical intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The quality of paediatric clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for the management of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is unclear. We aimed to comprehensively assess the quality of these CPGs and identify areas requiring improvement.DESIGN: CPGs were systematically searched and identified before being appraised by independent reviewers using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) and Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in HealThcare (RIGHT) tools. Inter-rater reliability was assessed using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC).RESULTS: Twenty-five CPGs were evaluated. All CPG agreements among four reviewers were good (ICC 0.753-0.939). The mean CPG score was 50.5% (23.5-78.4%), and seven CPGs were recommended for use. The mean scores of three domains were low: 38% for stakeholder involvement (5.6-93.1%), 38.4% for rigour of development (1-97.4%) and 36.3% for applicability (12.5-64.6%). The mean reporting rate of Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in HealThcare fields was 41.8%, and the evidence field had the highest reporting rate (63.1%), while the review and quality assurance field had the lowest rate (15.4%) for CPGs that include methods.CONCLUSION: The methodological and reporting quality of the CPGs was variable and poor, respectively. More effort is needed in stakeholder involvement, rigour of development, applicability domains and reporting to produce higher-quality CPGs.

Abstract
Background This study examined the safety and immunogenicity of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Method In a phase I randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial involving 192 healthy adults 18–59 years old, two injections of three doses (50 EU, 100 EU, 150 EU) of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine or placebo were administered intramuscularly at a 2- or 4-week interval. The safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine were evaluated. Results Vaccination was completed in 191 subjects. Forty-four adverse reactions occurred within 28 days, most commonly mild pain and redness at the injection site or slight fatigue. At days 14 and 28, the seroconversion rates were 87.5% and 79.2% (50 EU), 100% and 95.8% (100 EU), and 95.8% and 87.5% (150 EU), respectively, with geometric mean titers (GMTs) of 18.1 and 10.6, 54.5 and 15.4, and 37.1 and 18.5, respectively, for the schedules with 2-week and 4-week intervals. Seroconversion was associated with synchronous upregulation of antibodies against the S protein, N protein and virion and a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response. No cytokines and immune cells related to immunopathology were observed. Transcriptome analysis revealed the genetic diversity of immune responses induced by the vaccine. Interpretation In a population aged 18–59 years in this trial, this inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was safe and immunogenic. Trial registration: CTR20200943 and NCT04412538.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the expression and biological functions of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-548b-3p in breast cancer (BC), and to investigate its potential molecular mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression level of miR-548b-3p in BC tissues and cells was detected by quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Subsequently, the impacts of miR-548b-3p on the proliferation, apoptosis, and cycle, as well as migration and invasion of BC cells, were explored using colony formation assay and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, flow cytometry, and transwell assay, respectively. The possible downstream target genes of miR-548b-3p were predicted via bioinformatics and verified through qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Furthermore, Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to confirm whether miR-548b-3p could directly bind to murine double minute 2 (MDM2). RESULTS QRT-PCR results showed that miR-548b-3p expression was significantly downregulated in 37 out of 43 BC tissues. Subsequent in-vitro experiments indicated that the overexpression of miR-548b-3p significantly inhibited the proliferation and metastasis, whereas promoted the apoptosis of BC cells. Bioinformatics predicted that MDM2 was the downstream target gene of miR-548b-3p. After overexpression of miR-548b-3p, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting results revealed that the expression of MDM2 was remarkably downregulated. Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay further confirmed that miR-548b-3p could directly bind to MDM2. CONCLUSIONS MiR-548b-3p expression was significantly downregulated in BC. In addition, lowly expressed miR-548b-3p repressed the proliferation and metastasis of BC cells through targeted regulation of MDM2.

Immunogenicity and safety of the inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine made from Sabin strains in a phase IV clinical trial for the vaccination of a large population. Vaccine 2021; 39:1463-1471. [PMID: 33487470 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.01.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2020] [Revised: 01/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
As a recently launched novel vaccine used as one of the vaccines for the final eradication of polios worldwide, complete data on the consistency and immunogenicity characteristics of the inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine made from the Sabin strain (sIPV) and its safety in large-scale populations are required to support the future use of this vaccine worldwide. A phase IV clinical trial was conducted to perform an immunogenicity evaluation of lot-to-lot consistency of three commercial batches of sIPV in 1200 infants and to investigate the vaccine's safety on a large-scale in 20,019 infants for active monitoring and 29,683 infants for passive monitoring through the Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI) reporting system in China. In the immunogenicity evaluation, the average seroconversion rates for type I, type II and type III of the three groups were 99.83%, 98.93% and 99.44%, respectively. No differences in the seroconversion rate and the GMT ratios were noted in the pair-to-pair comparisons. In the large-scale safety evaluation, most adverse reactions occurred 0-30 days after the first doses, and the common local and systemic reactions were similar to those in the phase III clinical trial, with low incidence in both activated and passive monitoring. In conclusion, sIPV exhibits good lot-to-lot consistency and safety in large-scale populations; thus, it is qualified to serve as one of the vaccines for use in eradicating all wild and vaccine-derived polioviruses worldwide in the near future. Clinic Trial Registration. NCT04224519 and NCT04220515.

Evaluation of color Doppler ultrasound combined with plasma miR-21 and miR-27a in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Clin Transl Oncol 2020; 23:709-717. [PMID: 33206330 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-020-02501-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical value of color Doppler ultrasound combined with plasma miR-21 and miR-27a in the diagnosis of breast cancer (BC). METHODS 129 patients with BC and 50 patients with benign breast lesions were selected. They were scanned by color Doppler ultrasound on the breast. The relative expression of miR-21 and miR-27a in plasma was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The clinical value of color Doppler ultrasound combined with plasma miR-21 and miR-27a in the diagnosis of BC was analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Two-dimensional ultrasound images of BC showed irregular shape, unclear boundary, burr-like edge, uneven internal echo, weakened rear echo, microcalcification, aspect ratio > 1 and axillary lymph node metastasis. The grade of blood flow signal was improved, mainly in grade II and above, which was statistically different from that of benign control group (P < 0.001). The relative expression of plasma miR-21 and miR-27a in breast cancer group was significantly higher than that in benign control group (P < 0.001). The relative expressions of plasma miR-21 and miR-27a in breast cancer group were significantly correlated with histological grade, clinical stage, lymph node metastasis and postoperation. The relative expression levels of miR-21 and miR-27a in plasma of patients with low histological grade (grade III), high clinical stage (stage III, IV) and lymph node metastasis before operation were significantly higher than those in patients with high histological grade (grade I, II), low clinical stage (stage I, II) and no lymph node metastasis after operation (P < 0.01). The sensitivity, accuracy and negative predictive value of ultrasound combined with plasma miR-21 and miR-27a in the diagnosis of BC were significantly higher than those of each single examination. CONCLUSIONS Color Doppler ultrasound combined with plasma miR-21 and miR-27a can significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency of BC, which is beneficial to early diagnosis and early clinical intervention.

Abstract
AIMS Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is now the leading cause of death from infectious disease, thus rapid diagnostic and screening techniques for TB are urgently needed. METHODS AND RESULTS Here, a detection of MTB using multiple cross displacement amplification coupling with nanoparticles-based lateral flow device (MCDA-LFD) was developed and validated, targeting the specific sdaA gene. The whole detection procedure, including rapid genomic DNA extraction (15 min), amplification (30 min) and result reporting (2 min), was completed within 50 min. No cross-reaction with non-mycobacteria and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) strains was observed. The sensitivity of sdaA-MCDA-LFD, Xpert MTB/RIF assay and culture results was 81·6, 48·3 and 37·9%, respectively, in TB patients. Among positive culture samples, the sensitivity of sdaA-MCDA-LFD and Xpert MTB/RIF assay was 93·9% (31/33) and 81·8% (27/33), respectively. Among culture-negative samples, the sensitivity of sdaA-MCDA-LFD and Xpert MTB/RIF assay was 74·1% (40/54) and 27·8% (15/54), respectively. The specificity of sdaA-MCDA-LFD and Xpert MTB/RIF was 95·4% (62/65) and 100% (65/65) in clinical samples from non-TB patients. CONCLUSION The sdaA-MCDA-LFD assay was a rapid, simple, specific and sensitive TB diagnostic test. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The sdaA-MCDA-LFD assay holds promise for application as a useful point-of-care test to detect MTB, and will play an important role in controlling and preventing TB.

Abstract
To investigate whether the TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 genes contribute to variations in vaccine-induced immune responses after immunization with the inactivated Japanese encephalitis vaccine (IJEV), a total of 369 individuals who received the IJEV were enrolled. Based on Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) neutralization antibodies (NAbs), the individuals were divided into seropositive (SP) and seronegative (SN) groups. Then, 17 SNPs in the TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 genes were genotyped using the TaqMan method. Although there was no association of the TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 genes with JEV seropositivity triggered by JEV vaccination when all the individuals in the SP and SN groups were compared, differences were observed in a subgroup analysis. In the male group, rs2243291 in the IL-4 gene showed a difference between the JEV SP and SN groups with the overdominant model (P = .045), and the C/G genotypes conferred more JEV seropositivity (OR = 1.87; 95% CI: 1.01-3.49); the CT genotype of rs3093726 in the TNF-α gene showed higher JEV NAbs geometric mean titer (GMT) than the TT genotype (P = .018, CT: 1.677 ± 0.144 vs TT: 1.271 ± 0.039). Furthermore, the rs1800629 genotype in the TNF-α gene and the rs1800896 genotype in the IL-10 gene exhibited a trend of association with JEV seropositivity in the female group, but the difference was not significant. The present study suggested that the polymorphisms in the cytokine genes could be associated with sex-specific JEV NAbs seroconversion. However, more samples should be studied, and further functional verification should be performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to identify the residence of human fibrocartilage stem cells (hFCSCs), characterize their stem cell properties and investigate the functional mechanisms which regulate fibrocartilage stem cells (FCSCs) toward chondrogenic differentiation during cartilage homeostasis and repairing. METHODS Cytological characteristics of hFCSCs and human orofacial mesenchymal stem cells (hOFMSCs) were analyzed. Chondrogenic potential of hFCSCs was compared with hOFMSCs both in vitro and in vivo. Regulatory role of SOX9 during FCSCs chondrogenesis was studied by shRNA interference in vitro, and by GFP+ FCSCs treatment in rat condylar cartilage defect model. SOX9 expression was also examined in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) patients' cartilage surface. RESULTS hFCSCs exhibited typical mesenchymal stem cell characteristics, with significantly stronger chondrogenic capability compared to hOFMSCs. Moreover, hFCSCs showed remarkably increased expression of SOX9. During cartilage pellet culture, there was stronger SOX9 expression in hFCSCs than hOFMSCs. SOX9 shRNA interference downregulated chondrogenic capability of hFCSCs in vitro, as well as disrupting migration and chondrogenic differentiation of GFP+ FCSCs toward mature chondrocytes in rat condylar cartilage defect. Of note, SOX9 expression was also found suppressed in the condylar superficial zone of TMJOA patients. CONCLUSION We found the existence of FCSCs in human TMJ cartilage, and characterized their distinct stem cell features. SOX9 is essential for hFCSCs chondrogenic differentiation, and a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory role of SOX9 in hFCSCs would be important for exploring potential intervention strategy of condylar cartilage degradation during TMJ disorders.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA) is a complicated condition that affects not only the condyle, but also the maxillofacial complex. Thus, it is often challenging to find a standardized treatment strategy for TMJA. This study was performed to analyse our experience with 95 TMJA patients over a 4-year period and develop a new classification system ('CDA'). The CDA classification system divides TMJA patients into eight different groups according to the preservability of the condyle (C), severity of the dentofacial bone deformity (D), and skeletal age (A). The 95 patients (129 ankylosed joints) were treated using different strategies based on this CDA classification. Treatment options included preserving or reconstructing the condylar head, surgical correction of jaw deformities, and close follow-up of mandibular growth. After treatment, all 129 ankylosed joints were completely released and the average maximum inter-incisal opening (MIO) increased from 3.6 ± 3.2 mm to 32.8 ± 5.4 mm, with no recurrence of ankylosis found during follow-up. In conclusion, this new CDA classification can effectively guide treatment strategies for TMJA patients. Using particular strategies for patients based on specific CDA classifications could provide optimal management to the benefit of TMJA patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expressions, biological effects and potential mechanism of miR-424 in glioma. METHODS AND METHODS A total of 54 glioma tissues and 12 normal brain tissues were collected. Human glioma cells (A172, SHG-44, T98, LN18, and LN229) and normal human astrocytes (NHAs) were cultured. Cell invasion and migration capacities were detected by transwell assay. KIF23 was predicted and confirmed as a direct target of miR-424 by TargetScan prediction and Dual-luciferase reporter assay. Six-week-old female nude mice were used for Xenograft tumor formation assay. RESULTS Results of this study demonstrated a significant decrease of miR-424 expressions both in glioma cells and tissues. Moreover, the declined miR-424 expressions were observed to be correlated with the poor OS and worse clinicopathological parameters of glioma patients. Functional assays indicated that miR-424 restoration could inhibit the glioma cell epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis, as well as the tumor growth rate and tumor size of glioma mice. Additionally, kinesin family member 23 (KIF23) expressions were found to be significantly enhanced in glioma specimens, and KIF23 was considered to be a functional target for miR-424 in glioma. CONCLUSIONS MiR-424, considered as a tumor-suppressor, inhibited cell metastasis and EMT by targeting KIF23 in glioma, which may provide a novel insight into tumorigenesis and the basis for the development of miRNA-targeting therapies against glioma.

Abstract
Background Mumps vaccine immunizations have reduced the incidence of this disease. With the variation of mumps circulating strain, novel vaccine strains are always important. Methods A 2-center parallel, randomized, double-blind noninferiority trial was performed to compare an F-genotype attenuated mumps vaccine (SP strain) to the A-genotype vaccine (S-79, Jeryl-Lynn strain) in 1080 healthy children aged 8-24 months in Hubei, China. Results Participants were randomly assigned to receive a high or low dose of the SP or S79 vaccine and then assessed clinically at 30 minutes and 1-28 days postinoculation. No differences in local or systemic reactivity were observed. A similar incidence of severe adverse events associated with the vaccine was observed in the high-dose group and the positive control group. Based on throat swab collections, no viral shedding was present at the 4th and 10th days in any group. Neutralizing and hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody assays with the F- or A-genotype strains showed similar trends in geometric mean titers in the high-dose SP and S79 groups. Increased cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses were observed in all groups. Conclusions The F-genotype attenuated mumps vaccine is safe, offers immunogenicity against a homologous virus, and is noninferior to the A-genotype vaccine in 8- to 24-month-old children.

MicroRNA-19b alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory injury in human intestinal cells by up-regulation of Runx3. EUROPEAN REVIEW FOR MEDICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL SCIENCES 2019; 22:5284-5294.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an unexplained inflammatory disease in bowel. Some studies reported that microRNA-19b (miR-19b) was closely related to cell inflammatory response. We aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of miR-19b on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human intestinal cell inflammatory injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Caco2 cells were treated with 10 ng/ml LPS to induce inflammatory injury. The expression of miR-19b and runt-related transcription factor 3 (Runx3) was changed in Caco2 cells by cell transfection. Then, the viability, apoptosis and pro-inflammatory factors expressions of transfected cells were assessed using trypan blue exclusion assay, flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively, after LPS treatment. At last, the expressions of key factors involved in nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase 3 (PI3K/AKT) pathways were evaluated using Western blotting. RESULTS LPS significantly induced Caco2 cell inflammatory injury, down-regulated miR-19b expression and activated NF-κB and PI3K/AKT pathways. Suppression of miR-19b enhanced the LPS-induced Caco2 cell inflammatory injury, as well as NF-κB and PI3K/AKT pathways activation. Overexpression of miR-19b had opposite effects. In addition, miR-19b regulated the expression of Runx3 in Caco2 cells. Overexpression of Runx3 reversed the miR-19b knockdown-induced Caco2 cell viability inhibition, apoptosis enhancement, inflammatory factors expressions and NF-κB and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways activation. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that miR-19b alleviated LPS-induced Caco2 cell inflammatory injury via up-regulation of Runx3 and deactivation of NF-κB and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways.

Changes in the position of the condyle after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy in patients with mandibular retrusion and protrusion: a new condyle: fossa matching concept. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2019; 57:1086-1091.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the condylar positional changes after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) in patients with mandibular retrusion and those with mandibular prognathism. We also studied the correlation between the degree of matching of the condyle and fossa, and condylar displacement. Thirty patients with mandibular retrusion (n=11) or mandibular prognathism (n=19) who underwent BSSRO were included. The condylar position was assessed from spiral computed tomographic (CT) scans taken preoperatively, during the first postoperative week, and at least 6 months postoperatively. All data were measured by MIMICS 17.0 and analyzed by Student's t test and Pearson's correlation analysis. The size of the condyles of patients with mandibular retrusion was significantly less than those of patients with mandibular prognathism (491.5 (172.8) compared with 823.2 (212.0) mm3). The size of the glenoid fossa in those with mandibular retrusion (599.6 (110.4) mm3) and those with prognathism (597.6 (151.6) mm3) did not seem to differ. Postoperatively the condyles moved outwards, backwards, and downwards in both groups of patients. Correlation analysis between the condyle:fossa volume ratio and the condylar positional changes showed that a large condyle:fossa volume ratio correlated with the smaller positional changes in the condyle. The condylar position changed immediately after mandibular advancement and setback, and persisted in the long term. Larger condyles tended to have fewer positional changes.

Abstract
Aims: To discover possible relationships between CXCL12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its risk factors. Methods: The present sib-pair study was conducted in a rural community of Beijing, China. SNPs rs2297630, rs1746048, and rs1801157 located within or nearby the CXCL12 gene were genotyped using the allele-specific polymerase chain reaction method. Haseman-Elston regression was used to investigate linkages between these SNPs and T2DM. A generalized estimating equation logistic regression model was used to discover associations between the SNPs, T2DM, and its risk factors. Results: A total of 3171 participants were recruited, comprising 2277 sib pairs. After Bonferroni correction (α = 0.016), rs2297630 was found to be significantly linked to (p = 0.003) and associated with T2DM (AA vs. GG/GA: OR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.31-3.88, p = 0.003). There were interactions between rs2297630 and dyslipidemia (p < 0.001) and between rs1746048 and hypertension (p = 0.011). Compared to dyslipidemia-free subjects with rs2297630 GG/GA genotypes, dyslipidemia patients with rs2297630 AA had a higher risk of T2DM (OR = 4.15, 95% CI: 2.24-7.67, p < 0.001). Compared to hypertension-free subjects with rs1746048 CC genotypes, hypertension-free subjects with rs1746048 CT/TT had a decreased risk of T2DM (OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.60-0.99, p = 0.045). Conclusions: A novel linkage and association was found between rs2297630 and T2DM. Moreover, novel interactions were found between rs2297630 and dyslipidemia as well as rs1746048 and hypertension. These findings will help identify individuals at higher risk of developing T2DM.

Abstract
Prevailing theories link prefrontal cortex (PFC) maturation to the development of declarative memory. However, the precise spatiotemporal correlates of memory formation in the developing brain are not known. We provide rare intracranial evidence that the spatiotemporal propagation of frontal activity supports memory formation in children. Seventeen subjects (6.2 to 19.4 years) studied visual scenes in preparation for a recognition memory test while undergoing direct cortical monitoring. Earlier PFC activity predicted greater accuracy, and subsecond deviations in activity flow between subregions predicted memory formation. Activity flow between inferior and precentral sites was refined during adolescence, partially explaining gains in memory. In contrast, middle frontal activity predicted memory independent of age. These findings show with subsecond temporal precision that the developing PFC links scene perception and memory formation and underscore the role of the PFC in supporting memory development.

Abstract
Fludioxonil is used in seedborne disease management of various fungal pathogens, including Fusarium asiaticum, the predominant causal agent of Fusarium head blight in China. In this study, we screened resistant strains from a large number of F. asiaticum strains collected from 2012 to 2016 and found that 4 of 1,000 field strains were highly resistant to fludioxonil. The 50% effective concentration values of the resistant strains and induced mutants ranged from 80 to >400 μg/ml. Compared with field-sensitive strains, all field-collected and laboratory-induced resistant strains exhibited fitness defects in traits including mycelial growth, conidial production, pathogenicity, and sensitivity to osmotic conditions. In the presence of fludioxonil, significantly higher glycerol accumulation was found in sensitive strains but not in resistant individuals. The fludioxonil-resistant strains produced lower amounts of glycerol in liquid culture and lower amounts of trichothecene mycotoxins in rice culture and inoculated wheat spikelets than the fludioxonil-sensitive strains. Sequence analyses of the key genes of the two-component histidine kinase signaling pathway showed various amino acid substitutions in the Os1, Os4, and Os5 genes between field-sensitive and resistant strains or mutants. The results of this study suggest a potential risk of fludioxonil resistance development and a possible influence of resistance mutations on fitness parameters and toxin production in F. asiaticum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was conducted to describe present and changing trends in surgical modalities and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in female breast cancer patients in China from 2006 to 2015. METHODS Data of 44 299 female breast cancer patients from 15 tertiary hospitals in Beijing were extracted from hospitalization summary reports. Surgeries were categorized into five modalities: breast-conserving surgery (BCS), simple mastectomy (SM), modified radical mastectomy (MRM), radical mastectomy (RM), and extensive radical mastectomy (ERM). RESULTS In total, 38 471 (86.84%) breast cancer patients underwent surgery: 22.64% BCS, 8.22% SM, 63.97% MRM, 4.24% RM, and 0.93% ERM. Older patients (> 60) underwent surgery more frequently than younger patients (< 60). The proportion of patients who underwent BCS was highest in the age ≥ 80 (39.24%) and < 40 (28.69%) subgroups and in patients with papillary carcinoma (35.48%), and lowest in the age 60- subgroup (18.17%) and in patients with Paget's disease (19.05%). SM was most frequently performed in patients with Paget's disease (29.00%), and MRM for ductal (64.99%), and lobular (63.78%) carcinomas. During the study period, the proportion of patients who underwent MRM dropped by 29.04%, SM and BCS increased from 15.78% and 30.83%, respectively, and NACT increased in all subgroups, particularly in patients with lymph node involvement (26.72%). CONCLUSIONS Surgical modalities varied significantly by age and histologic group. The use of BCS and SM increased dramatically, while MRM declined significantly. The proportion of patients treated with NACT has increased significantly, especially in patients with lymph node involvement.

Abstract
AIM To identify combined positron-emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics as a surrogate biomarker of intratumour disease risk for molecular subtype ccA and ccB in patients with primary clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS PET/MRI data were analysed retrospectively from eight patients. One hundred and sixty-eight radiomics features for each tumour sampling based on the regionally sampled tumours with 23 specimens were extracted. Sparse partial least squares discriminant analysis (SPLS-DA) was applied to feature screening on high-throughput radiomics features and project the selected features to low-dimensional intrinsic latent components as radiomics signatures. In addition, multilevel omics datasets were leveraged to explore the complementing information and elevate the discriminative ability. RESULTS The correct classification rate (CCR) for molecular subtype classification by SPLS-DA using only radiomics features was 86.96% with permutation test p=7×10-4. When multi-omics datasets including mRNA, microvascular density, and clinical parameters from each specimen were combined with radiomics features to refine the model of SPLS-DA, the best CCR was 95.65% with permutation test, p<10-4; however, even in the case of generating the classification based on transcription features, which is the reference standard, there is roughly 10% classification ambiguity. Thus, this classification level (86.96-95.65%) of the proposed method represents the discriminating level that is consistent with reality. CONCLUSION Featured with high accuracy, an integrated multi-omics model of PET/MRI-based radiomics could be the first non-invasive investigation for disease risk stratification and guidance of treatment in patients with primary ccRCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Adherence to oral anticoagulants is crucial for the prevention of ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation patients; however, evidence of oral-anticoagulant adherence from developing countries is still lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the current situation and predictors of oral-anticoagulant adherence in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients in China. METHODS Records of NVAF patients were obtained from a regional claims database. Both initiation and adherence to oral anticoagulants were calculated from linked records. Factors of oral-anticoagulant initiation were identified using Cox regression. RESULTS Among 33,463 NVAF patients, only 13.9% initialized warfarin treatment after the indexed hospital visit. Stratified by CHA2DS2-VASc scores, 20.9% of patients in the low-risk group were on warfarin, followed by 15.3% and 10.7% from the middle and high-risk groups, respectively. Among patients who initialized warfarin, only 40.4% filled the first repeat prescription within 3 months. Concurrent statin use, hypertension and heart failure were associated with higher warfarin initiation rate. Factors such as age above 75, female sex, manufacture workers, discharge from the primary-care center, antiplatelet use, and diabetes, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke were associated with lower rate of warfarin initiation. Additionally, initiating warfarin treatment reduced risk of ischemic stroke in middle and high-risk patients. CONCLUSION Oral anticoagulation was significantly under-used in NVAF patients in China. Age, sex, concurrent drug usage, and disease history were associated factors. Improving warfarin adherence was promising to reduce ischemic stroke risk of NVAF patients.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a poor 5-year survival rate of 5%. Biomarkers for the early detection of pancreatic cancer are urgently needed. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) is elevated in the tissues and plasma of patients with PDAC. However, no studies systemically report prognostic significance of plasma TGF-β1 levels in PDAC. In the present study, we assessed the prognostic significance of serum TGF-β levels in patients with PDAC. TGF-β levels were determined in serum from 146 PDAC patients, and 58 patients with benign pancreatic conditions. Regression models were used to correlate TGF-β levels to gender, age, stage, class, and metastasis. Survival analyses were performed using multivariate Cox models. Serum levels of TGF-β1 distinguished PDAC from benign pancreatic conditions (P<0.001) and healthy control subjects (P<0.001). Serum levels of TGF-β also distinguished tumor stage (P=0.002) and lymph node metastasis (P=0.001). High serum levels of TGF-β1 were significantly correlated with reduced patient survival. Multivariate analysis revealed that TGF-β1, lymph node metastasis and tumor stage were independent factors for PDAC survival. Our results indicate that serum TGF-β1 may be used as a potential prognostic marker for PDAC.

Abstract
Although a variety of factors underlying diapause have been identified in arthropods and other organisms, the molecular mechanisms regulating diapause are still largely unknown. Here, to better understand this process, we examined diapause-associated genes in the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, by comparing the transcriptomes and proteomes of early diapausing and reproductive adult females. Amongst genes underlying diapause revealed by the transcriptomic and proteomic data sets, we described the noticeable change in Ca2+ -associated genes, including 65 Ca2+ -binding protein genes and 23 Ca2+ transporter genes, indicating that Ca2+ signalling has a substantial role in diapause regulation. Other interesting changes in diapause included up-regulation of (1) glutamate receptors that may be involved in synaptic plasticity changes, (2) genes involved in cytoskeletal reorganization including genes encoding each of the components of thick and thin filaments, tubulin and members of integrin signalling and (3) genes involved in anaerobic energy metabolism, which reflects a shift to anaerobic energy metabolism in early diapausing mites.

Abstract
Recent research efforts about iron oxide nanoparticles has focused on the development of iron oxide-based T1 contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), such as ultrasmall iron oxide nanospheres (USNPs <4 nm) and ultrathin nanowires (NW, diameter <4 nm). In this paper, we report the cellular uptake behaviors of these two types of ultrasmall scale nanostructures on HepG2 cells. Both these two nanostructures were functionalized with tannic acid and their physical and chemical properties were carefully analyzed before cellular tests. Both USNPs and NWs exhibited strong paramagnetic signals, a property suitable for T1 MRI contrast agents. The distinct shapes also caused much difference in their cellular uptake behaviors. Specifically, the uptake of USNPs was five times higher than that of NWs after 72 hours incubation. The shape-dependent cellular uptake can potentially lead to different blood circulation times, and subsequently different applications of these two types of ultrasmall nanostructures.

Abstract
UNLABELLED ESSENTIALS: It is unclear whether interleukin-10 (IL-10) could affect clopidogrel metabolism and response. The bioactivation of and response to clopidogrel were determined between mice with or without IL-10. Maximum clopidogrel active metabolite levels were the major driver of platelet response to clopidogrel. IL-10 did not modulate maximum levels of clopidogrel active metabolite and its antiplatelet effects. SUMMARY BACKGROUND Elevated plasma interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels were observed in patients who responded less to clopidogrel (a prodrug that is required for further metabolic bioactivation in the liver). However, no data are currently available suggesting whether there is such an association. OBJECTIVE To systematically explore possible differences in the formation of and response to clopidogrel active metabolite (CAM) in mice with or without IL-10 gene expression. METHODS A single oral dose of clopidogrel (10 mg kg(-1)) was given to IL-10 knockout (KO) mice and wild-type (WT) control mice, respectively, and pharmacokinetic parameters of clopidogrel and CAM were calculated. Moreover, adenosine diphosphate-induced whole-blood platelet aggregation was measured in mice receiving 0, 5, 10, or 20 mg kg(-1) of clopidogrel, respectively. RESULTS Compared with IL-10 KO mice, WT mice had significantly lower area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of CAM as a result of a shorter mean elimination half-life but had significantly higher AUC of clopidogrel due to slower systemic clearance and smaller volume of distribution. Although AUC of CAM was significantly lower in WT mice than in KO mice, antiplatelet effects of clopidogrel did not differ significantly between the two mouse groups, as their maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax ) of CAM were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS IL-10 expression level affects AUC rather than Cmax of CAM, but the Cmax of CAM is the major driver of antiplatelet effects of clopidogrel in mice.
