RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system and is associated with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to explore the function of growth factor receptor-bound protein 10(GRB 10) in glioma. METHODS: The expression of GRB10 in glioma was determined based on the glioma transcriptome profile downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA), and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. RT-qPCR was performed to detect the expression of GRB10 in tissue samples obtained from 68 glioma patients. The patients were followed up via telephone or in-person outpatient visits to determine survival. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to evaluate the effect of GRB10 on the prognosis of glioma patients. Further, we constructed GRB10 knockdown cell lines were constructed to investigate the effect of GRB10 on glioma. The cell growth, colony formation, cell cycle assay, EdU assay, and tumor formation in xenograft were performed. RESULTS: The expression level of GRB10 was positively correlated to the histological grades of gliomas. In addition, Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that glioma patients with lower expression of GRB10 had more prolonged survival. The knockdown of GRB10 was shown to inhibit cell proliferation, colony formation, and tumor formation in the xenograft models. Cell cycle assay revealed that the knockdown of GRB10 can inhibit the cells entering the G2/M phase from the S phase. The analysis of GSEA suggests that the expression of GRB10 was positively correlated with the hypoxia and EMT signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS: Our data revealed that GRB10 regulated tumorigenesis in glioma and played a vital role in promoting the glioma progression, which indicated that GRB10 could be used as a potential prognostic marker.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) performed via femoral artery and radial artery approaches. METHODS: This retrospective study included 480 patients requiring cerebral vascular angiography at the First People's Hospital of Changde City from March 2020 to February 2022. Patients were divided into the femoral artery group (transfemoral approach, n=400) and the radial artery group (transradial approach, n=80) according to the surgical route. We compared perioperative metrics, success rates of selective angiography and puncture, and complication rates (including pseudoaneurysm, urinary retention, hematoma, vasospasm) between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze factors influencing the failure of angiography by each approach. RESULTS: The radial artery group exhibited shorter durations for puncture, hemostasis, exposure, operation, and postoperative recovery (all P<0.001). The success rate of selective angiography was higher in the radial artery group (93.75%) compared to the femoral artery group (85.25%) (χ2=4.168, P=0.041). No significant difference was found in puncture success rates between the groups (χ2=0.235, P=0.628). The overall complication rate was significantly lower in the radial artery group (2.50%) compared to the femoral artery group (9.25%) (χ2=4.069, P=0.044). Gender and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significant predictors of angiography failure in both approaches (both P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The transradial approach for DSA is safe and feasible, offering advantages in terms of operational time and complication rates, making it the preferred method in clinical settings.
