It is a chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract with unknown cause. Exosomes are small vesicles in various body fluids. They have diameters of 40-120 nm, and one of their functions is long-distance transfer of various sub- stances. In this study, we investigated the contents of salivary exosomes in patients with IBD and in healthy controls to explore a new biomarker in patients with IBD. In this study, whole saliva was obtained from patients with IBD (ulcerative colitis (UC), n = 37; Crohn's disease (CD), n = 11) and apparently healthy individuals (HC, n = 10). Salivary exosomes were extracted from samples, and the proteins within the exosomes were iden- tified by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC- MS/MS). The results showed that more than 2000 proteins were detected in salivary exosomes from patients with IBD. Through gene ontology analysis, we found that proteasome subunit alpha type 7 (PSMA7) showed especially marked differences between patients with IBD and the healthy controls, in that its expression level was much higher in the CD and UC groups. This exosomal protein is related to proteasome activity and inflamma- tory responses. So we conclude that in this research,salivary exosomal PSMA7 was present at high levels in salivary exosomes from subjects with IBD. It can be a very promising biomarker to release the patients from the pain of colonoscopy.展开更多

Pioneering work from another group has demonstrated the dependency of cell differentiation on the chirality of nano-coated substrates, but the effect of the chiral surface of nanoparticles on stem cell fates has not been investigated. In this study, the influence of molecular chiral poly(acryloyl-L(D)-valine) (L(D)- PAV)-anchored gold nanoparticles (L(D)-PAV-AuNPs) on the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) was investigated. Though osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was not affected by D-PAV-AuNPs, it was significantly promoted by L-PAV-AuNPs in terms of calcium deposition, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and expression of collagen type I and osteocalcin (OCN) at both mRNA and protein levels. L-PAV-AuNPs could activate the P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, and may exert mechanical stress on MSCs because of high amounts of internalization. These results provide new insights on surface chirality at the nanoscale as a direct regulator to guide the differentiation of MSCs, and the use of these nanomaterials for strategic regenerative medicine.展开更多

The relationship between CD4 cell count and HIV-related opportunistic infections and tumors has been well characterized;however, it is unclear whether CD4 cell count is associated with HCV-related hepatic events.Methods: This observational cohort study enrolled HCV/HIV-coinfected patients from the National Free Antiretroviral Treatment Program of China from 2004 to 2019 in Guangzhou. The primary outcome was a composite of hepatic events, including cirrhosis complications, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver-related mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed.Results: Among the 793 patients, 43 developed hepatic events during a median follow-up of 6.7 years, including 35 cirrhosis complications, 13 HCC cases, and 14 cases of liver-related mortality. The 5-year and 10-year cumulative incidences of hepatic events were 4.2% and 9.3%, respectively. Patients who developed hepatic events had a less satisfactory increase in CD4 cell count, lower peak CD4 (354.5 cells/μLvs. 560.0 cells/μL,P < 0.001), and lower percentage of peak CD4 > 500 cells/μL (30.2%vs. 60.7%,P < 0.001) after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) than those who did not. The cumulative incidences of hepatic events were higher in patients with lower peak CD4 levels with adjusted odds ratios of 3.96 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.51-10.40), 2.25 (95% CI: 0.87-5.86), and 0.98 (95% CI: 0.35-2.74) for patients with peak CD4 at <200 cells/μL, 200-350 cells/μL, and 351 to 500 cells/μL, respectively, relative to those with peak CD4 > 500 cells/μL. Peak CD4 was negatively associated with the risk of hepatic events in a dose-response manner (P-value for trend = 0.004).Conclusion: Persistently low CD4 cell counts after ART are independently associated with a high risk of hepatic events in HCV/HIV-coinfected patients, highlighting the important role of immune reconstitution in improving liver outcomes.展开更多
