A prospective and consecutive study assessing short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of Chinese domestically manufactured 3D printing trabecular titanium acetabular cup for primary total hip arthroplasty: evaluation of 236 cases.

Purpose: We prospectively evaluate the short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of the only Chinese domestically produced trabecular titanium acetabular cup(3D ACT™ cup) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), aiming to provide evidence-based support for its clinical application. Methods: A total of 236 patients, who underwent primary THA using 3D ACT™ cup in the Department of Joint Surgery at our hospital between January 2017 and June 2019, were included in this study. General patient data, imaging information, functional scores, and complications were collected to evaluate the early clinical efficacy. Results: All patients were followed up for 33-52 months, with an average of (42.2 ± 9.2) months. At the last follow-up, the preoperative HHS score increased significantly from 43.7 ± 6.8 to 85.6 ± 9.3 points (P < 0.01). Similarly, the preoperative WOMAC scores showed significant improvement from 59.2 ± 5.8 to 13.1 ± 3.5 points (P < 0.01). 92.3% of the patients expressed satisfaction or high satisfaction with the clinical outcome. Furthermore, 87.7% of the acetabular cups were positioned within the Lewinnek safe zone, achieving successful reconstruction of the acetabular rotation center. The cup survival rate at the last follow-up was 100%. Conclusions: The utilization of the only Chinese domestically manufactured 3D printing trabecular titanium acetabular cup in primary THA demonstrated favorable short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes. The acetabular cup exhibits excellent initial stability, high survival rate, and favorable osseointegration, leading to a significant enhancement in pain relief and functional improvement. In the future, larger sample sizes and multicenter prospective randomized controlled trials will be required to validate the long-term safety and effectiveness of this 3D ACT™ cup.

CircJag1 promotes apoptosis of ethylene thiourea-exposed anorectal malformations through sponging miR-137-3p by regulating Sox9 and suppressing Wnt/ß-catenin pathway during the hindgut development of rat embryos.

Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are common birth defects involving congenital structural anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract. As an important component of non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs (circRNAs) widely participate in the digestive system development; however, the specific molecular mechanism of their involvement in ARM occurrence remains obscure. Herein, we generated rat models of ARMs induced by ethylene thiourea. A novel circRNA (circJag1) was screened and identified by RNA-Seq, which is remarkably upregulated in hindgut tissues of ARM rat embryos. In vivo experiments, colocation analysis via fluorescence in situ hybridization, and immunofluorescence further demonstrated that the disordered circJag1/miR-137-3p/Sox9 expression caused a spatiotemporal imbalance in the urorectal septum (URS) of ARMs. In vitro, functional assays confirmed that circJag1 upregulation resulted in the degradation of nuclear ß-catenin, C-myc, and Cyclin D1 in rat intestinal epithelial cells, as well as the promotion of apoptosis and suppression of cell proliferation. Mechanistically, dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay indicated that circJag1 acted as a miR-137-3p sponge, thereby inhibiting its repressive effect on its target Sox9. Further experiments showed that a loss of Sox9 abolished the circJag1-mediated increase in apoptosis. In conclusion, aberrantly high circJag1 expression promotes epithelial apoptosis by suppressing the canonical Wnt/ß-catenin pathway via the miR-137-3p/Sox9 axis, which leads to fusion failure of the URS and cloacal membrane, and eventually contributed to ARMs. Our achievements might boost the comprehension of ARM pathogenesis and could provide a novel candidate target for the development of therapies for ARMs to complement surgical treatment.

miR-141-3p affects ß-catenin signaling and apoptosis by targeting Ubtd2 in rats with anorectal malformations.

Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are the most common gastrointestinal malformations. miR-141-3p was obtained from whole-transcriptome sequencing, and Ub domain-containing protein 2 (Ubtd2) was predicted as the target gene. An ARM rat model was induced using ethylenethiourea. Fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence were used to detect the spatiotemporal expression of miR-141-3p and Ubtd2, respectively. A dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed their targeting relationship, and cell proliferation and apoptosis were investigated after transfection in the intestinal epithelium (IEC-6). Additionally, western blotting and co-immunoprecipitation were used to examine the protein levels and the endogenous binding relationship. miR-141-3p was downregulated in the ARM group, whereas Ubtd2 increased and colocalized with TUNEL-positive cells. After miR-141-3p inhibition, protein expression of USP5 and ß-catenin was affected via Ubtd2, and USP5 could bind to both Ubtd2 and ß-catenin. Flow cytometry analysis and caspase 3/7 staining demonstrated that downregulated miR-141-3p promoted cell apoptosis through Ubtd2. In summary, targeting Ubtd2 decreased in miR-141-3p and promoted apoptosis of intestinal epithelium and regulated ß-catenin expression. This may cause aberrant apoptosis during hindgut development and mediate the imbalance of ß-catenin signaling in the cloaca, further affecting the occurrence of ARMs.

Analysis of Differential Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Partially Cystic Thyroid Nodules Based on Ultrasound Characterization With a TIRADS Grade-4a or Higher Nodules.

Partially cystic thyroid nodules (PCTNs) are a kind of thyroid nodule with both solid and cystic components, and are usually misdiagnosed as benign nodules. The objective of this study was to determine the ultrasound (US) characterizations with a TIRADS Grade-4a or higher partially cystic thyroid nodules (PCTNs) which are associated with being malignant or benign. In this study, 133 PCTNs with a TIRADS Grade-4a or higher were enrolled; 83 were malignant and 50 were benign. TI-RADS classification can detect malignant PCTNs, and its sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy are 39.8%, 96.0%, 94.3%, 49.0%, and 60.9%, respectively. Univariate analyses revealed that nodule shape, margin, and structure were related to PCTNs' being benign and malignant, among which nodules taller-than-wide, with an irregular shape, non-smooth margin, eccentric sharp angle, or edge sharp angle were significantly associated with malignancy while ovoid to round nodules, smooth margins, multiple separation, and eccentric obtuse angle structures were significantly associated with a benign nature. For the solid part of PCTNs, its free margin, echo, and calcification are related to benign and malignant PCTNs. Among them, the free margin of the solid part is non-smooth, hypoechoic, and microcalcification, which are related to malignant PCTNs, while the free margin of the solid part is smooth, isoechoic, macrocalcification, non-calcification and are related to benign PCTNs. Calcification of solid part and free margin are important factors for predicting malignant PCTNs. In addition, nodules' composition, blood flow signal, and other factors had nothing to do with PCTNs' being benign or malignant. In the multivariate Logistic regression analysis, solid part calcification (OR: 17.28; 95%CI: 5.14~58.08) and free margin (OR: 3.18; 95%CI: 1.01~10.00) were revealed to be the strongest independent predictors for malignancy (P<0.05). Our study indicated that understanding the ultrasound characteristics of malignant PCTNs, to avoid misdiagnosed PCTNs patients, is important to make a precise diagnosis and prognosis of PCTNs.

[The role of submerged group ecological media box in repairing black and odorous water body]. / 潜水式生态介质箱对黑臭水体的修复效果.

As a conventional technology, the ecological floating bed has been widely used to repair waste water body. However, it can only repair the surface oxygen-enriched water, and has limited ability to repair the lower anoxic water. To meet the needs of the restoration of black and odorous water body, we designed a submersible ecological media box (submerged group) and compared it with traditional ecological floating bed (floating bed group). Water quality of black and odorous water before and after the restoration was examined, with the growth status of aquatic plants and the accumulation ability of N and P being investigated. The results showed that with the prolongation of repairing time, the removal rate of each pollutant increased gradually in both treatments. The removal ability of the submerged group for TN, NH4+-N, TP was better than that of the floating bed group, but its ability to remove CODMn was slightly inferior than that of the floating bed group. Plants (Vallisneria natans) in the submerged group grew better than that in the floating bed group (Acorus cala-mus), with similar patterns of the absorption and accumulation capacity and removal rate of TN and TP. In addition, the plasma membrane permeability and malondialdehyde content of V. natans were lower than that of A. calamus and the chlorophyll content of A. calamus was higher than that of V. natans, indicating that V. natans is more suitable for planting in black and odorous water bodies. Thus, the submersible ecological media box is a new in-situ integrated remediation device, which is more suitable to repair the black and odorous water.

Low level of Cyclin-D1 correlates with worse prognosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients.

Cyclin-D1 (CCND1) belongs to the highly conserved cyclin family whose members are characterized by abundant expression during the cell cycle. As an oncogene, high level of CCND1 was observed and related to poor prognosis and tumor recurrence in many cancers. In this study, we focused on the role of CCND1 in the clinical outcome of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Gene Expression Omnibus database, The Cancer Genome Atlas database, and immunohistochemical staining were used. The mRNA and protein levels of CCND1 were significantly enhanced in ccRCC tumor tissues. However, the low level of CCND1, but not high level of CCND1, was related to poor prognosis and tumor recurrence in ccRCC. Further analysis showed that CCND1 mRNA level decreased with increasing ccRCC tumor grades and the rate of recurrence in ccRCC patients. In a nomogram model, the CCND1 mRNA level was shown to help predict ccRCC patient recurrence. CCND1 is a strong determinant for prediction of recurrence. The patients with high CCND1 level appear to have a more favorable prognosis together with more frequent low-grade tumors and low rate of recurrence. This is the first study to investigate the prognostic roles of CCND1 in ccRCC and discovered that CCND1 had an unconventional positive impact on the clinical outcome of ccRCC patients.

Overexpression of KIF2A is Suppressed by miR-206 and Associated with Poor Prognosis in Ovarian Cancer.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic value of kinesin family member 2A (KIF2A) and the suppression effects of microRNA-206 (miR-206) on KIF2A in ovarian cancer. METHODS: Ovarian cancer tissues from patients and ovarian cancer cell lines (A2780 and SKOV3) were used in this study. miR-206 mimics and control were transiently transfected into cells. RT-qPCR was performed to detect KIF2A mRNA and miR-206 expression levels, Western blot was performed to detect KIF2A protein levels, Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay was used to examine the inhibition effects of miR-206 on KIF2A mRNA, immunohistochemical staining was used to examine the expression of KIF2A in tissue sections. CCK-8, transwell and Annexin-V-FITC/Propidium Iodide staining with flow cytometry were used to detect the cell proliferation, migration/invasion, and apoptosis respectively. RESULTS: Our study explored the expression profiles of KIF2A and miR-206 in the patients with ovarian cancer. We found that overexpression of KIF2A was associated with a poor prognosis in ovarian cancer. We also found that KIF2A mRNA contains two target sites for miR-206 binding and confirmed that miR-206 directly suppresses KIF2A; inhibits ovarian cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion; and induces apoptosis. CONCLUSION: The results suggest KIF2A could serve a valuable prognostic indicator in ovarian cancer and provide a rationale for treatment of ovarian cancer by targeting KIF2A via miR-206.

Down-regulated miR-148b increases resistance to CHOP in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells by rescuing Ezrin.

BACKGROUND: Aberrant microRNA (miRNAs) have recently been proposed as important regulators in acquiring resistance to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The purpose of this study was to establish the role of miR-148b in the development of CHOP resistance in DLBCL. METHODS: The expression patterns of miR-148b, HDAC6, and Ezrin were detected in CHOP-resistant clinical specimens and a DLBCL cell line. miR-148b, HDAC6, and Ezrin in DLBCL cells were manipulated by cell transfection to explore the functional correlation between them. Cell viability was determined using a CCK-8 assay. RESULTS: We found that miR-148b levels were markedly reduced and that the protein expressions of HDAC6 and Ezrin were increased in DLBCL CHOP-resistant clinical specimens and the cell line CRL2631/CHOP. Indeed, HDAC6 decreased the acetylation of histones H3 and H4 in the miR-148b promoter to inhibit miR-148b expression in DLBCL. Moreover, down-regulated miR-148b encouraged CHOP resistance in CRL2631 cells and miR-148b sensitized CRL2631 cells. We further revealed that Ezrin was negatively regulated by miR-148b and that the knockdown of Ezrin significantly attenuated CHOP resistance in CRL2631 cells induced by miR-148b silencing. MiR-148b also sensitized CRL2631/CHOP cell xenografts to CHOP in mice. CONCLUSION: Our data indicated that the high level of HDAC6 inhibited miR-148b via maintaining the low acetylation of histones H3 and H4 in the miR-148b promoter, thus rescuing Ezrin expression and promoting CHOP resistance in DLBCL.

Increased histone deacetylase 6 expression serves as a favorable prognostic factor for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate ectopic expression of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS: This study analyzed patients with DLBCL (n=132) and reactive lymph node hyperplasia (n=32) diagnosed in our hospital from December 2007 to May 2016. Correlation between HDAC6 expression and clinical pathologic features was analyzed by χ2 test. The significant differences between the 5-year overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS) and high HDAC6 expression as well as DLBCL clinic-pathological features including age, International Prognostic Index (IPI) score, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and germinal center B-cell-like were assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: HDAC6 high-expression percentage in DLBCL was significantly higher than that in the control group. The proportion of IPI score of 0-2, 5-year OS, and PFS in the high-expression group, which had lower percentage of patients with increased LDH and ß2-microglobulin, were significantly higher than those in the low-expression group. Moreover, HDAC6 mRNA expression in HDAC6 protein low expression was markedly lower than that in protein high expression. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that HDAC6 high expression was an independent prognostic factor for patients with DLBCL. CONCLUSION: HDAC6 high expression might be a prognostic factor for DLBCL.

ß-defensin 1 expression in HCV infected liver/liver cancer: an important role in protecting HCV progression and liver cancer development.

ß-defensin family plays a role in host defense against viral infection, however its role in HCV infection is still unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that ß-defensin 1 was significantly reduced in HCV-infected liver specimens. Treatment with interferon and ribavirin upregulated ß-defensin-1, but not other ß-defensin tested, with the extent and duration of upregulation associated with treatment response. We investigated ß-defensin family expression in liver cancer in publicly available datasets and found that among all the ß-defensins tested, only ß-defensin 1 was significantly downregulated, suggesting ß-defensin 1 plays a crucial role in liver cancer development. Further analysis identified E-cadherin as the top positive correlated gene, while hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate as the top negative correlated gene. Expression of two proteoglycans were also positively correlated with that of ß-defensin 1. We have also identified small molecules as potential therapeutic agents to reverse ß-defensin 1-associated gene signature. Furthermore, the downregulation of ß-defensin 1 and E-cadherin, and upregulation of hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate, were further confirmed in liver cancer and adjacent normal tissue collected from in-house Chinese liver cancer patients. Together, our results suggest ß-defensin 1 plays an important role in protecting HCV progression and liver cancer development.

Multivalent Histone and DNA Engagement by a PHD/BRD/PWWP Triple Reader Cassette Recruits ZMYND8 to K14ac-Rich Chromatin.

Elucidation of interactions involving DNA and histone post-translational-modifications (PTMs) is essential for providing insights into complex biological functions. Reader assemblies connected by flexible linkages facilitate avidity and increase affinity; however, little is known about the contribution to the recognition process of multiple PTMs because of rigidity in the absence of conformational flexibility. Here, we resolve the crystal structure of the triple reader module (PHD-BRD-PWWP) of ZMYND8, which forms a stable unit capable of simultaneously recognizing multiple histone PTMs while presenting a charged platform for association with DNA. Single domain disruptions destroy the functional network of interactions initiated by ZMYND8, impairing recruitment to sites of DNA damage. Our data establish a proof of principle that rigidity can be compensated by concomitant DNA and histone PTM interactions, maintaining multivalent engagement of transient chromatin states. Thus, our findings demonstrate an important role for rigid multivalent reader modules in nucleosome binding and chromatin function.

Promiscuous targeting of bromodomains by bromosporine identifies BET proteins as master regulators of primary transcription response in leukemia.

Bromodomains (BRDs) have emerged as compelling targets for cancer therapy. The development of selective and potent BET (bromo and extra-terminal) inhibitors and their significant activity in diverse tumor models have rapidly translated into clinical studies and have motivated drug development efforts targeting non-BET BRDs. However, the complex multidomain/subunit architecture of BRD protein complexes complicates predictions of the consequences of their pharmacological targeting. To address this issue, we developed a promiscuous BRD inhibitor [bromosporine (BSP)] that broadly targets BRDs (including BETs) with nanomolar affinity, creating a tool for the identification of cellular processes and diseases where BRDs have a regulatory function. As a proof of principle, we studied the effects of BSP on leukemic cell lines known to be sensitive to BET inhibition and found, as expected, strong antiproliferative activity. Comparison of the modulation of transcriptional profiles by BSP after a short exposure to the inhibitor resulted in a BET inhibitor signature but no significant additional changes in transcription that could account for inhibition of other BRDs. Thus, nonselective targeting of BRDs identified BETs, but not other BRDs, as master regulators of context-dependent primary transcription response.

Beating the odds: BETs in disease.

Bromodomains (BRDs) are evolutionarily conserved protein interaction modules that specifically recognise acetyl-lysine on histones and other proteins, facilitating roles in regulating gene transcription. BRD-containing proteins bound to chromatin loci such as enhancers are often deregulated in disease leading to aberrant expression of proinflammatory cytokines and growth-promoting genes. Recent developments targeting the bromo and extraterminal (BET) subset of BRD proteins demonstrated remarkable efficacy in murine models providing a compelling rationale for drug development and translation to the clinic. Here we summarise recent advances in our understanding of the roles of BETs in regulating gene transcription in normal and diseased tissue as well as the current status of their clinical translation.

Expression of zebrafish anterior gradient 2 in the semicircular canals and supporting cells of otic vesicle sensory patches is regulated by Sox10.

AGR2 is a member of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family, which is implicated in cancer cell growth and metastasis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. Despite the contributions of this protein to several biological processes, the regulatory mechanisms controlling expression of the AGR2 gene in different organs remain unclear. Zebrafish anterior gradient 2 (agr2) is expressed in several organs, including the otic vesicles that contain mucus-secreting cells. To elucidate the regulatory mechanisms controlling agr2 expression in otic vesicles, we generated a Tg(-6.0 k agr2:EGFP) transgenic fish line that expressed EGFP in a pattern recapitulating that of agr2. Double immunofluorescence studies were used to demonstrate that Agr2 and GFP colocalize in the semicircular canals and supporting cells of all sensory patches in the otic vesicles of Tg(-6.0 k agr2:EGFP) embryos. Transient/stable transgenic analyses coupled with 5'-end deletion revealed that a 100 bp sequence within the -2.6 to -2.5 kbp region upstream of agr2 directs EGFP expression specifically in the otic vesicles. Two HMG-binding motifs were detected in this region. Mutation of these motifs prevented EGFP expression. Furthermore, EGFP expression in the otic vesicles was prevented by knockdown of the sox10 gene. This corresponded with decreased agr2 expression in the otic vesicles of sox10 morphants during different developmental stages. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays were used to show that Sox10 binds to HMG-binding motifs located within the -2.6 to -2.5 kbp region upstream of agr2. These results demonstrate that agr2 expression in the otic vesicles of zebrafish embryos is regulated by Sox10.

Depleting components of the THO complex causes increased telomere length by reducing the expression of the telomere-associated protein Rif1p.

Telomere length is regulated mostly by proteins directly associated with telomeres. However, genome-wide analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants has revealed that deletion of Hpr1p, a component of the THO complex, also affects telomere length. The THO complex comprises four protein subunits, namely, Tho2p, Hpr1p, Mft1p, and Thp2p. These subunits interplay between transcription elongation and co-transcriptional assembly of export-competent mRNPs. Here we found that the deletion of tho2 or hpr1 caused telomere lengthening by ∼50-100 bps, whereas that of mft1 or thp2 did not affect telomere length. Since the THO complex functions in transcription elongation, we analyzed the expression of telomere-associated proteins in mutants depleted of complex components. We found that both the mRNA and protein levels of RIF1 were decreased in tho2 and hpr1 cells. RIF1 encodes a 1917-amino acid polypeptide that is involved in regulating telomere length and the formation of telomeric heterochromatin. Hpr1p and Tho2p appeared to affect telomeres through Rif1p, as increased Rif1p levels suppressed the telomere lengthening in tho2 and hpr1 cells. Moreover, yeast cells carrying rif1 tho2 or rif1 hpr1 double mutations showed telomere lengths and telomere silencing effects similar to those observed in the rif1 mutant. Thus, we conclude that mutations of components of the THO complex affect telomere functions by reducing the expression of a telomere-associated protein, Rif1p.

[Assay of three kinds of aluminum fractions (Al(a), Al(b) and Al(c)) in polynuclear aluminum solutions by Al-Ferron timed spectrophotometry and demarcation of their time limits].

Al-Ferron timed spectrophotometry assay is a basic method in the study on the formation of polynuclear hydroxyl aluminum species and their transformation laws in aqueous systems. In actual working process, this methodology has some dogmatism and arbitrariness in the time limits demarcation of the three kinds of aluminum fractions (Al(a), Al(b) and Al(c)) in polynuclear aluminum solutions, which makes this kind of classification rougher, and the experimental results non-reproducible. The reason for this difference is that the specific species within Al(a), Al(b) and Al(c) have different reaction mechanism and dynamics, and that specific species of Al(b) having different OH/Al ratios have different reaction rates with ferron. In this paper, the ExpAssoc distribution was applied to quantitatively fit the Al-Ferron reaction dynamics curve, and the extrapolation method was used to survey the 1 min measured value [Al(a)] of monomeric Al, which is hard to obtain in manual manipulation. The time demarcation between Al(b) and Al(c) should reach the point of the experimental data curve up to horizontal platform. The microwave-radiated technology was used to fast assay the total aluminum concentration [Al(T)]. With these methods, the contents of monomeric Al(a), polynuclear Al(b) and gel Al(c) can be conveniently and quantitatively measured. It offers a novel method for surmounting the arbitrariness in the measurement of the three kinds of aluminum fractions and the repetitive calculation of Al(a) and Al(b).
