Objective: To explore the clinical value of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) and VITRO score (vWF:Ag/platelet count) in assessing disease progression in patients with HBV infection. Methods: Randomly collect relevant clinical data of 308 patients with HBV infection (including 154 cases of chronic hepatitis B, 66 cases of hepatitis B cirrhosis in compensatory period, 88 cases of hepatitis B cirrhosis in decompensated period) from December 1, 2018 to January 5, 2021 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. The vWF values are measured by a uniform optical method, and all data are included using a uniform standard. Analyze the difference and significance of plasma vWF level and VITRO score in chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis B cirrhosis in the compensatory phase and decompensated phase. Results: The plasma vWF level and VITRO score of the chronic hepatitis B group were (139.47±76.44) and (0.86±0.8), respectively, and the hepatitis B cirrhosis compensated group was (164.95±67.12 and 1.44±1.14), respectively. Hepatitis cirrhosis decompensated group were (317.48±103.32 and 6.81±4.98), respectively; plasma vWF level and VITRO score increased with the progression of HBV infection, and the difference was statistically significant (F=133.669,P=0.000F=137.598,P=0.000).The plasma vWF level and VITRO score in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis were (185.65±85.07 and 2.3±2.37) in the Child-Pugh A group, (304.74±105.81 and 6.37±5.19) in the B grade group, and (369.48±73.238.28±5.38) in the C grade group; plasma vWF level and VITRO score in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis increased with the increase of Child-Pugh grade, and the difference was statistically significant (F=60.236, P=0.000F=32.854, P=0.000). The area under the curve (AUC) of plasma vWF level and VITRO score for diagnosing the decompensated stage of hepatitis B cirrhosis were 0.897 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.855-0.940, P<0.01], 0.949 [95% CI: 0.916-0.982, P<0.01). When the vWF level and VITRO score were taken as cut-off values of 238.5% and 1.65, respectively, the sensitivity of diagnosing the decompensated stage of hepatitis B cirrhosis was 79.5% and 94.3%, the specificity was 92.3% and 87.7%, and the positive predictive value was 80.5% and 94.3%, the negative predictive value was 91.9% and 97.5%, and the diagnostic accuracy was 88.6% and 89.3%. Among the patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis, the level of vWF in the group with gastrointestinal bleeding (367.24±68.29)% was significantly higher than that in the group without gastrointestinal bleeding (286.15±109.69)%, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001) The VITRO score of the group with gastrointestinal bleeding (9.12±5.4) was significantly higher than that of the group without gastrointestinal bleeding (5.36±4.13), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The vWF level in the spontaneous peritonitis group was (341.73±87.92)% higher than that in the non-spontaneous peritonitis group (296.32±111.74)%, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in VITRO score between the two groups. significance. Conclusion: Plasma vWF level and VITRO score can evaluate the progression of liver disease and the degree of decompensation of liver cirrhosis in patients with HBV infection, and have a predictive effect on various complications after decompensation of liver cirrhosis, and have certain guiding significance for early intervention measures.

Aim To investigate the effect of sanguina-rine on regulating the pathway of cell apoptosis by in-ducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HepG2 cells. Methods MTT method was used to detect the cell viability of HepG2 cell after the treatment of san-guinarine. The changes of ROS were observed by indi-cator DCFH-DA and DHE staining. The apoptosis was detected by Hoechst 33342 and Annexin V/PI stai-ning;Rhodamine 123 staining was used to detect mito-chondrial membrane potential. Western blot was used to detect expressions of key cell-apoptotic protein. Re-sults The cell viability of HepG2 cells showed a de-creasing trend with the increasing concentration of san-guinarine. Sanguinarine could significantly increase cellular ROS,decrease mitochondrial membrane poten-tial in HepG2 cell, and promote apoptosis of HepG2 cells. The expression of Bax, cleaved-caspase-3 and cytoplasmic Cyt-C significantly increased after the treatment of sanguinarine, however, the expression of Bcl-2 was inhibited. Conclusion Sanguinarine could activate mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis mediated by cellular uncontrolled ROS and promote apoptosis of HepG2 cells.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression of BRCA1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues and evaluate its correlation with clinicopathological features as well as the prognosis of ESCC patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expression of BRCA1 was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 201 specimens of T3 stage ESCC tissues and corresponding adjacent normal tissues using tissue microarray. The correlation between BRCA1 expression and clinicopathological features of ESCC was determined by chi-square analysis. The cumulative survival rate was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive rate of BRCA1 expression in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues [88.6% (178/201) vs. 36.8% (74/201), P < 0.001]. There was a significant correlation between the expression of BRCA1 and lymph node metastasis. In the tumors with positive lymph nodes, strong positive expression of BRCA1 was found in 45.0% (49/109), while only 19.6% (18/92) in tumors without lymph node metastasis, showing a significant difference (P < 0.001). A close relationship was also found between the expression of BRCA1 and gross typing of tumors (P < 0.05). The expression of BRCA1 was not significantly correlated with gender, age, tumor location, differentiation, and tumor thrombus (P > 0.05). The results of Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that ESCC patients with a higher positive rate of BRCA1 expression have a poorer prognosis (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The expression of BRCA1 is related to the occurrence and development of esophageal carcinoma. BRCA1 protein may serve as a new potential biomarker in estimating the biological behavior of ESCC.</p>

OBJECTIVE@#To screen multidrug resistance (MDR) related proteins in human gastric cancer using proteomics technique.@*METHODS@#Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) was used to separate the total proteins of vincristine-resistant human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901/VCR and its counterpart SGC7901. PDQuest software was used to analyze 2-DE images, and the differential expression proteins between the 2 cell lines were identified by both MALDI-TOF-MS and ESI-Q-TOF. The differential expression level of sorcin, one of the identified proteins, was confirmed by western blot analysis. The effect of sorcin on the development of MDR of SGC7901/VCR was determined by antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) technique.@*RESULTS@#Sorcin as a high expression protein in SGC7901/VCR was identified and the suppression of sorcin expression by sorcin ASO could enhance the vincristine chemosensitivity in SGC7901/VCR.@*CONCLUSION@#Sorcin overexpression is related to MDR in human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901/VCR.

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the molecular mechanisms of colonic epithelial aging related proteins and aged colonic epithelial susceptibility to tumor.@*METHODS@#The proteins of normal human colonic epithelial tissue from young and old people were separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE), respectively. Then gels were stained by silver, scanned by imagescanner and analyzed with PDQuest software. The differentially expressed protein spots of colonic epithelium between the old and the young groups were identified by peptide mass fingerprint based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and database searching.@*RESULTS@#Well-resolved and reproducible 2DGE maps of normal human colonic epithelium from the young and the old were acquired. Nineteen more than 2 fold differentially expressed protein spots were identified representing 17 different proteins by MALDI-TOF-MS. The functions of these proteins involve in metabolism, energy generation, transportation, antioxidation, translation and protein folding.@*CONCLUSION@#Seventeen aging related proteins of human colonic epithelium identified indicate that injury of mitochondrial function and decline of antioxidant capability are important reasons for the aging of human colonic epithelium. These data provided useful clues for elucidating the mechanisms of colonic epithelial aging and aged colonic epithelial susceptibility to cancer.
