ABSTRACT
Molecular knowledge of human gastric corpus epithelium remains incomplete. Here, by integrated analyses using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and single-cell assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) techniques, we uncovered the spatially resolved expression landscape and gene-regulatory network of human gastric corpus epithelium. Specifically, we identified a stem/progenitor cell population in the isthmus of human gastric corpus, where EGF and WNT signaling pathways were activated. Meanwhile, LGR4, but not LGR5, was responsible for the activation of WNT signaling pathway. Importantly, FABP5 and NME1 were identified and validated as crucial for both normal gastric stem/progenitor cells and gastric cancer cells. Finally, we explored the epigenetic regulation of critical genes for gastric corpus epithelium at chromatin state level, and identified several important cell-type-specific transcription factors. In summary, our work provides novel insights to systematically understand the cellular diversity and homeostasis of human gastric corpus epithelium in vivo.

Objective To explore the difference of the expression level of FK506 Binding Protein 51 (FKBP51) in colorectal adenocarcinoma and normal colorectal tissues,and the correlation between FKBP51 expression level and clinicopathological characteristics,and to clarify whether FKBP51 is involved in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer.Methods By immunohistochemical staining [streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) method] and Western blotting methods tested 31 cases of colorectal cancer tumor tissues and normal colorectal tissues far from tumor 5 cm,and explored the expression level difference of FKBP51.Combined with clinical data of patients,results were analyzed by statistical method x2 test of four case table data.Results The high expression rate of FKBP51 in tumor tissues was 74.19% (23/31 cases),while the high expression rate of FKBP51 in normal tissue was 9.68% (3/31 cases).The difference was significant.The expression level of FKBP51 in patients with colorectal carcinoma had no obvious correlation with gender (P =0.771),age (P =0.474),tumor location (P =0.213),degree of differentiation (P =0.318),lymph node metastasis (P =0.124),distant metastasis (P =0.318) and clinical stage (P =0.171);and the tumor size (P =0.049),depth of invasion related (P =0.031),the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions The expression of FKBP51 in colorectal cancer was strong,while weak expression in normal colorectal tissues.With the increase of tumor infiltration and deepening,the expression of FKBP51 became stronger,which indicated that FKBP51 participated in the genesis and development of colorectal cancer,and it might become a new target for individual therapy of colorectal cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the acute stroke patients with lower respiratory tract of multi drug resistant bacteria(MDR) infection risk factors.Methods The clinical data of 170 patients with acute stroke were retrospectively analyzed from January 2013 to December 2015.The MDR infection was divided into MDR infection group and non-MDR infection group.example.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of MDR infection in patients with acute stroke.Results Univariate analysis: The relationship between COPD, coma, cerebral hemorrhage, cough, cough reflex, tracheal intubation, indwelling catheter, indwelling gastric tube, and combination of two or more antibiotics was more than 5 days and MDR infection(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis: COPD, coma, tracheal intubation, cerebral hemorrhage, two or more antibiotics prophylactic use is an independent risk factor for MDR infection.Conclusion The acute stroke patients with lower respiratory tract infection in patients with MDR factors and iatrogenic factors, combined with COPD, coma, tracheal intubation, cerebral hemorrhage, irrational use of antibiotics are independent risk factors for its occurrence.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between the expression levels of excision repair cross complementation group 1(ERCC1), breast cancer susceptibility gene 1(BRCA1), thymidylate synthase (TS) mRNA and clinicopathological features, prognosis in advanced colorectal cancer, and the correlation between the expression levels of ERCC1 and BRCA1. Methods The expression levels of ERCC1, BRCA1 and TS mRNA of postoperative paraffin embedded tissue were tested by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 49 advanced colorectal cancer cases. The results were analyzed by χ2 test of the correlation between the expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics. Patients were followed up by clinic or telephone. The prognosis was analyzed by small sample Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank time series analysis, and P0.05). The expression level of BRCA1 mRNA had no significant correlation with the above clinical and pathological features (P>0.05) except distant metastasis (P=0.030) and differentiation degree (P=0.002). The expression level of TS mRNA had no significant correlation with the above clinical and pathological features (P>0.05) except distant metastasis (P=0.003). The expression level of ERCC1 and BRCA1 mRNA obviously correlated (P=0.002). The 1 year overall survival rate was 95.92%(47/49);the 2 year overall survival rate was 83.67%(41/49);and the 3 year overall survival rate was 73.47%(36/49). Overall survival and progression-free survival time in ERCC1 mRNA low expression group (47.8, 41.0 months) was higher than that in ERCC1 mRNA low expression group (27.3, 20.0 months) respectively (P=0.001, P=0.001). Overall survival and progression-free survival time in BRCA1 mRNA low expression group (43.7, 42.7 months) was higher than that in BRCA1 mRNA high expression group (29.3, 25.1 months) respectively (P=0.009, 0.006). Overall survival time in TS mRNA low expression group (39.8 months) was higher than that in BRCA1 mRNA high expression group (25.2 months). Conclusions The expression level of ERCC1 mRNA is not correlated with its clinical and pathological characteristics, but with its biological characteristics. BRCA1 and TS levels are correlated with invasion and metastasis. Low levels of ERCC1 and BRCA1 expression have a better prognostic effect on platinum based first-line chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer, and they are correlated. Low level of TS also has longer disease-free survival. Three joint detection could be used as a prognostic factor for colorectal cancer chemotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expression of secondary lymphoid-tissue chemokine (SLC)、 CCR7 and its correlation with clinical pathology and lymphangiogenesis in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC). Methods The tissue specimens including PAC, the cancerous peripheral tissues, the normal pancreatic tissues and peripheral lymph nodes were obtained from 30 patients with PAC. The expressions of SLC and CCR7 in these tissues were assayed by immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). MIND marked by VEGFR-3 was detected by morphometric analysis, and the relationship between MLND and clinical pathology of PAC was analyzed. Results In all the specimens, the positive rates of SLC protein in PAC, the cancerous peripheral tissues, the normal pancreatic tissues and peripheral lymph nodes were respectively 16. 7%, 43. 3%, 76. 7% and 46. 6%. The positive rates of CCR7 protein in PAC, the cancerous peripheral tissues, the normal pancreatic tissues and peripheral lymph nodes were respectively 76. 7%, 66. 7%, 30. 0% and 70. 0%. The results of RT-PCR and fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR indicated that the expression levels of CCR7 mRNA in PAC tissues, the cancerous peripheral tissues and peripheral lymph nodes were higher than that in the normal pancreatic tissues ( P <0. 01 ). There was no significant correlation between the expression of SLC protein with MLVD of PAC ( P > 0. 05 ). There was 23 specimens that the CCR7 protein was positive, and among these specimens the MIND was higher than that in negative group of CCR7 protein (P = 0.004). Conclusions The expression of SLC was not related to lymphatic metastasis and TNM stages of PAC. The expression of CCR7 was significantly associated with lymphatic metastasis and TNM stages of PAC, and the high expression of CCR7 in PAC tissues was significantly associated with lymphangiogenesis of PAC.
