ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the differences in the expression of microRNA (miR)-216a and its target gene SerpinB5 at the tissue level, and the effects of miR-216a on the proliferation of different liver cancer cells by regulating the expression of SerpinB5.Methods:Through bioinformatics prediction and selection of miR-216a that regulated SerpinB5. the expressions in liver cancer and normal tissues were detected by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The miR-216a simulacrum and inhibitor, si-Serpinb5 and pcdna3.1-Serpinb5 to HepG2 and MHCC97H (97H) were transfected with liposomes, respectively. Real time PCR and Wester-Blot were used to detect the expression of miR-216a and SerpinB5 before and after transfection, and CCK8 was used to detect the influence of both on the proliferation of liver cancer cells.Results:The expression of miR-216a in human liver cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.01). The expression of SerpinB5 in human liver cancer tissues was lower than that adjacent tissues, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.01). In HepG2 and 97H, miR-216a inhibitor and SerpinB5 overexpression group showed down-regulated miR-216a expression, which was statistically different from the control group ( P < 0.01). The proliferation of miR-216a inhibitor and pcdna3.1-serpinb5 group was lower than the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P < 0.01). Conclusions:The high expression of SerpinB5 can inhibit the proliferation of liver cancer cells, suggesting that SerpinB5 may have an anti-oncogene effect. MiR-216a may negatively regulate the expression of SerpinB5 and affect the proliferation of HCC cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analysis the expression of thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) in patients with lung adenocarcinoma, and discuss the relationship between TTF-1 expression and prognosis of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 786 cases of lung adenocarcinoma who were admitted to Xi'an Chest Hospital from January 2012 to June 2016 were selected. The expression of TTF-1 was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between TTF-1 expression and patients ' clinicopathological features, treatment and survival were analyzed. Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the relationship between TTF-1 and prognosis of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Results Among 786 patients, 559 patients (71.12%) had positive TTF-1 expression, 227 patients (28.88%) had negative TTF-1 expression. The expression rates of TTF-1 in patients with well-differentiated, early stage, no lymph node metastasis, and no distant metastasis [77.26% (197/255), 78.89% (269/341), 78.95% (225/285), and 75.61%(372/492)] were higher than those in patients with poorly differentiated, late stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis 68.17% (362/531), 65.17% (290/445), 66.67% (334/501), 63.60% (187/294), the differenceswere statistically significant (χ 2 values were 6.917, 25.261, 13.339, and 12.911, all P < 0.05). The expressions of TTF-1 in primary lesions and metastatic lesions were consistent (κ = 0.894, P < 0.01). Among 385 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma who were unable to perform the operation, the proportion of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in TTF-1 positive expression patients (45.60%, 109/239) was significantly higher than that in TTF-1 negative expression patients (26.02%, 38/146), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 14.721, P < 0.01). The median progression free survival (PFS) time of TTF-1 positive expression patients was significantly longer than that of TTF -1 negative expression patients (6.00 months vs. 4.20 months, P < 0.01), whether EGFR was mutation or not, the median PFS time of TTF-1 positive expression patients was significantly longer than that of TTF-1 negative expression patients (P =0.003; P < 0.01). TTF-1 expression (HR = 0.793, 95% CI 0.639-0.984, P = 0.011) and EGFR gene status (HR =0.694, 95% CI 0.432-0.864, P = 0.004) were independent influencing factors affecting the PFS of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusions TTF-1 is widely expressed in lung adenocarcinoma and is associated with tumor differentiation, staging, lymph metastasis and distant metastasis. TTF-1 is a prognostic influencing factor in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma and can be used as a predictor of treatment for patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the role of the SerpinB5 and β-catenin in occurrence and development of the primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The expressions of SerpinB5 and β-catenin protein and mRNA in carcinoma tissues and paracancerous tissues of 60 patients with primary HCC were detected by immumohistochemistry and real-time quantitative reverse transcriptional polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods. Results The positive expression rate of SerpinB5 protein and SerpinB5 mRNA in carcinoma tissues were significantly lower than those in paracancerous tissues:25.0%(15/60) vs. 63.3%(38/60) and 1.12 ± 0.43 vs. 5.19 ± 0.39, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). The positive expression rate of β-catenin protein and β-catenin mRNA in carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than those that in paracancerous tissues: 65.0%(39/60) vs. 31.7%(19/60) and 4.23 ± 0.25 vs. 1.19 ± 0.17, and there was statistical difference (P<0.01). Decreased SerpinB5 expression was associated with higher serumα-fetoprotein level, larger tumor size, poor differentiation, advanced TNM stage, capsule invasion and tumor thrombosis (P < 0.01 or 0.05). Increased β-catenin expression was associated with poor differentiation, advanced TNM stage, capsule invasion and tumor thrombosis (P < 0.01 or < 0.05). The correlation analysis result showed that SerpinB5 had negative correlation withβ-catenin (carcinoma issues:r=-0.346, P=0.001;paracancerous tissues:r=-0.258, P = 0.024). Conclusions The abnormal expression of SerpinB5 and β-catenin may contribute to the progression and biologically malignant behavior of primary HCC, and SerpinB5 and β-catenin exists synergistic effect in the occurrence and development of primary HCC.

ABSTRACT
Surgical resection and liver transplantation are still the preferred treatments for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).For the patients with advanced HCC which are not suitable for surgical resection,traditional chemotherapy can not improve the prognosis.Molecular targeted therapy is a new method and tendency in the treatment of HCC.Multiple targets inhibitors,vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies for HCC are widely researched and applied.
ABSTRACT
The methyl group plays an important role in the rational drug design. Introducing methyl into small molecules has become an important strategy of lead compound optimization. The application of methyl in drug design is reviewed in this paper. Methyl can modulate the physicochemical, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic properties by ortho effect, inductive effect, and conformational effect. It also improves the metabolic stability as a soft metabolic point. In addition, introducing methyl into drug molecules can also be applied as a strategy in new uses of old drugs and generate me-too drugs.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study seasonal variation of blood pressure (BP) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and its association with meteorological elements. Methods In total, 1800 patients with essential hypertension were recruited by cluster sampling from three townships and towns in Qingzhou,Shandong province, 1155 men and 645 women, with an average age of 61.3 years (ranging from 29 to 85years). BP was measured for all of them in sitting position at 8:00 in the morning every seven to 14 days during July 2008 to June 2009. Local meteorological data were collected accordingly such as temperature,humidity and atmospheric pressure, and multivariate regression analysis was performed to show their association. Results In general, BP in patients with EH presented a decreasing trend during the first half year of observation, with the lowest in the summer ( May to August). From September to October, their BP began to increase gradually, and reached the peak in the winter ( November to February nest year). There was significant difference in systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) between various seasons (Pspring-summer = 0.002 and 0.000, Pwinter-spring = 0.001 and 0.000, Psummer-autumn = 0.045 and 0.000,Psummer-winter =0. 000 and 0. 000, Pautumn-winter =0. 000 and 0. 000, respectively), except for those between the spring and autumn. Both SBP and DBP reversely associated with outdoor air temperature and room temperature(beta= -0.08, t = -2.39, P <0.05 and beta = -0.24, t = -6.21, P <0.01,respectively), (beta = -0.08, t = -2.39, P <0.05 and beta = -0.24, t = -6.21, P <0.01,respectively). Conclusions BP in patients with EH reveals seasonal variation, with the lowest in the summer and the highest in the winter and evident fluctuation in the spring and autumn, especially in SBP,which associates with room temperature and their blood vessel elasticity.
