Methods: The diabetic nephropathy rat model was constructed with high-glucose-high-fat diet in combination with STZ, and was randomly divided into normal saline group and liraglutide group. The rats in liraglutide group were given sc 200 μg/kg of liraglutide, and the rats in normal saline group were given sc 20 mg/kg of normal saline twice a day for 4 weeks. The normal control group was not treated with any treatment. The biochemical indexes such as rat body weight, 24-hour urine total protein quantification (UTP), fasting blood glucose (FPG), triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) were measured. HE staining, Masson staining and PAS staining were used to observe the pathologically morphological changes in renal tissues. Western-blot was used to detect the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome-related protein in renal tissues. Elisa was used to measure the serum levels of interleukin-18 (IL-18) and IL-1β. SPSS 26.0 statistical software and Graph Prism 9.0 software were used for analysis and mapping. The t-test was used for the comparison of measurement data between two groups, one-way ANOVA was used for the comparison among multiple groups, and Tukey’s test was used for the comparison in the same group. Results: Compared with the normal saline group, FBG, UTP, BUN, Scr, TC and TG in the liraglutide group were significantly decreased (p < .01), the glomerular basement membrane was slightly thickened, with the tubular lumen slightly dilated and the lesion damage alleviated; the expression levels of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 inflammasome-related proteins were decreased (p < .01), and the levels of IL-18 and IL-1β were decreased (p < .01).Conclusion: Liraglutide can inhibit the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome mediated by oxidative stress in renal tissues through ROS-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, thereby inhibiting the inflammation, and finally playing an anti-diabetic nephropathy renal injury role.","PeriodicalId":504730,"journal":{"name":"Discussion of Clinical Cases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141640179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He was hospitalized in our department for 9 days and given NCPAP positive pressure ventilation to give oxygen and anti-infection symptomatic treatment. The dyspnea of the child was not significantly alleviated, and the heart murmurs became increasingly obvious. The child was transferred to the neonatology Department of the Seventh Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital for further treatment on 9 days after birth. After admission, piperacillin and tazobactam were treated with anti-infection, high-frequency oscillation mode of invasive ventilator, limited fluid volume and other symptomatic treatments. Fiberbronchoscopy showed atelectasis of right lung and tracheomalacia of left lung. Echocardiography showed partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, atrial septal defect (secondary foramina), inferior vena cava dilatation, pulmonary hypertension, initial coronary artery dilatation, and patent ductus arteriosus. CT 3D imaging of pulmonary veins showed: Congenital heart disease: partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (subcardial), consideration of \"machete syndrome,\" atrial septal defect, consideration of pulmonary hypertension, right pulmonary artery stenosis, right lower lung receiving abdominal aorta blood supply, right lung tissue dysplasia, and widening of inferior vena cava pulmonary veins. Therefore, the comprehensive diagnosis was \"machete syndrome.\" Considering the high surgical risk of the child, conservative symptomatic treatment was recommended, and the family requested discharge after 22 days of treatment. The patient died at home at 3 months follow-up after discharge.Conclusions: Machete syndrome is a rare congenital property of abnormal partial or complete pulmonary venous drainage from the right or left lung to the inferior vena cava. With an incidence of approximately 2 in 100,000 live births, the syndrome is commonly associated with right lung dysplasia, pulmonary sequestration, persistent left superior vena cava, and right tilt of the heart. In this case, the child had these syndromes after birth, since the primary hospital did not recognize the disease, the child was clearly diagnosed in the higher hospital. Children with machete syndrome can be treated with surgery in the early neonatal period, but the indication of surgical treatment is still controversial, and the need for surgery is evaluated according to the severity of the patient's symptoms and pulmonary circulation blood flow.","PeriodicalId":504730,"journal":{"name":"Discussion of Clinical Cases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139605256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The expressions of AEG-1, NKD-1 and β-catenin were detected by immunohistochemical SP method and qRT-PCR. The relationship between positive expression and clinical features and survival time of patients was analyzed, and the correlation between the three was analyzed.Results: The positive expression rates of AEG-1 and β-catenin in gastric cancer were 74% (37/50), 60% (30/50), respectively, which was significantly higher than that of paracancer tissue (18% [9/50] and 26% [13/50]). The positive expression rate of NKD1 in gastric cancer tissues was 20% (10/50), which was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues [88% (44/50)]; and the differences were statistically significant (p < . 05). AEG-1 mRNA expression level (1.0148±0.0019) and β-catenin mRNA expression level (1.0000±0.0005) in gastric cancer tissues were significantly higher than that of AEG-1 mRNA expression level (1.0002±0.0036) and β-catenin expression level in adjacent tissues mRMA expression level (0.9984±0.0012), and the differences were statistically significant (p < .05). The expression level of NKD1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissues (1.0008±0.0073) was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues (1.0291±0.0041), and the differences were statistically significant (p < .05). The positive expression of AEG-1, NKD1 and β-catenin in gastric cancer tissues was not related to age, sex or tumor size (p > .05), but was related to differentiation degree, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (p < .05). In gastric cancer, there was a positive correlation between AEG-1 and β-catenin protein expression (r = .678, p < .001), and a negative correlation between AEG-1 and NKD1 protein expression (r = -.323, p = .012). β-catenin expression was negatively correlated with NKD1 expression (r = -.347, p = .007). The survival time of patients with positive expression of AEG-1 and β-catenin was significantly shortened compared with those with negative expression (p < .05), while the survival time of patients with positive expression of NKD1 was longer than that of patients with negative expression of NKD1 (p < .05).Conclusion: The abnormal expression of AEG-1, NKD-1 and β-catenin is closely related with the occurrence, development, invasion, metastasis and prognosis of  gastric cancer, which provide a therapeutic target and may become markers for prognosis evaluation.","PeriodicalId":504730,"journal":{"name":"Discussion of Clinical Cases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139452595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different surgical methods have different prognostic effects on patients.
