To explore the correlation of plasma N-acetyl-neuraminic acid level with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score and clinical outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
We consecutively enrolled 708 consecutive patients (401 male and 307 female, mean age 63.6±10.6 years) undergoing coronary angiography in our hospital between October, 2018 and July, 2019, including 597 patients with ACS and 111 without ACS (control group). The patients with ACS group were divided into high (
=104), moderate (
=425) and low (
=68) risk groups according to their TIMI risk scores. All the participants were examined for plasma Neu5Ac level using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and underwent coronary angiography with their Gensini scores calculated. The patients with ACS were followed up after discharge for a mean of 15 months for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (Mace). Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors of Mace in these lysis showed that plasma Neu5Ac level and a history of previous stroke were independent risk factors for the occurrence of Mace.
Plasma Neu5Ac level can provide assistance in the diagnosis and risk stratification of ACS and is an independent risk factor for prognosis of ACS patients.

To investigate the mechanism by which epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) induces
gene demethylation and promotes the apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemia KG-1 and THP-1 cell lines.
KG-1 and THP-1 cells treated with 25, 50, 75, 100 or 150 μg/mL EGCG for 48 h were examined for
gene methylation using MSP and for cell proliferation using MTT assay. The changes in cell cycle and apoptosis of the two cell lines after treatment with EGCG for 48 h were detected using flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expressions of DNMT1, CHD5, p19
, p53 and p21
in the cells were detected using RT-quantitative PCR and Western blot.
EGCG dose-dependently reversed hypermethylation of
gene and reduced the cell viability in both KG-1 and THP-1 cells (
< 0.05). EGCG treatment caused obvious cell cycle arrest in G1 phase, significantly increased cell apoptosis, downregulated the expression of DNMT1 and upregulated the expressions of CHD5, p19
, p53 and p21
in KG-1 and THP-1 cells (
< 0.05).
EGCG reduces hypermethylation of
gene in KG-1 and THP-1 cells by downregulating DNMT1 to restore its expression, which results in upregulated expressions of p19
, p53 and p21
and induces cell apoptosis.

To investigate the changes in diversity, relative abundance and distribution of intestinal flora in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps (CRSwNP) using high-throughput sequencing technology identify the intestinal flora significantly related to pathogenesis and progression of CRSwNP.
Ten patients with CRSwNP hospitalized in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were selected as the case group with 10 healthy volunteers recruited in the same period as the control group. Fecal genomic DNA extraction kit was used to extract the DNA in the fecal samples, and the DNA fragment length was measured and quantified. The V3 and V4 highly variable regions of the 16S rDNA gene of prokaryotes were amplified followed by library construction, Illumina MiSeq sequencing, sequence alignment and species identification analysis. The relative abundance, diversity and distribution characteristics of the intestinal flora were analyzed, and the relevant metabolic pathways were predicted.
Compared with the control group, the patients with CRSwNP had significant changes in the overall structure of the intestinal flora, highlighted by increased abundance of Saccharopolyspora and decreased contents of
,
,
and
. Among the metabolic pathways predicted to be associated with CRSwNP, 9 showed significant changes in patients with CRSwNP as compared with the control group (
< 0.05).
Patients with CRSwNP have significant changes in the structural characteristics of intestinal flora related with multiple metabolic pathways, and these changes may play an important role in the development of chronic rhinosinusitis.

Autologous blood acupoint injection has practiced for treatment of various diseases, but its therapeutic mechanism remains unknown. Selleck CW069 This study aimed to explore the histological changes in the acupoint area after blood injection.
Blood samples (0.1 mL) collected from donator mice was injected in the recipient mice at the acupoint of left Zusanli (ST- 36). At 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after the injection (3 mice at each time point), peripheral blood and muscular tissue were collected from the injection site for blood cell classification and histological study with HE staining.
White blood cells and lymphocytes tended to increase but platelets tended to decrease at the acupoint after blood injection, but these changes were not statistically significant. Within 24 h after blood injection, acute inflammation occurred at the acupoint, and the injected blood components were infiltrated by neutrophils; a small number of monocytes were observed at the injection site, where red blood cells gradually disappeared.
