The total incidence, LTBI patients, and the incidence after preventive treatment for 5 years were followed up.@*Results@#A total of 34 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis from June 2017 to March 2018. A total of 1 357 individuals were screened for 6 concentrated contact screenings, with a confirmed tuberculosis rate of 2.43%, a tuberculosis skin test (TST) positive rate of 27.41%, and a strong TST positive rate of 7.39%. Among them, the confirmed tuberculosis rate and TST positive rate in the first case class were much higher than those in other classes, with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=286.30, 98.59, P <0.01). 88 cases of LTBI were found, with 31 cases receiving preventive treatment (35.23%), of which 28 completed preventive treatment (90.32%). After five years of follow-up, 73 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were diagnosed in 2016 by the school senior high school, with a incidence rate of 0.98/10 2 (person/person years). Fifteen of the 88 LTBI patients were diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, and the incidence rate was 3.33/10 2 (person/person years). The incidence rate of the preventive treatment group was 0.7/10 2 (person/person years)lower than that of the medical observation group 4.5/10 2 (person/person years), with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=4.31, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The classes with higher TST positive rate and strong positive rate have higher incidence rate. Improving the preventive treatment rate of LTBI patients can effectively reduce the incidence rate of tuberculosis.

Cocrystal separation technology is a technology that utilizes coformers to selectively form cocrystals with target compounds and separate them from mixed systems. Our study used puerarin (PUE), daidzein (DDZ), and genistein (GEN) as model drugs, which have similar structures and are the main isoflavones in Pueraria lobata root. The separation and purification processes in the modern traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) of these three components use conventional column chromatography, recrystallization, and other technologies, which have the issues of lengthy separation cycles, high solvent consumption, and inefficient preparation. Different with existing separation technology, our team used the early-found cocrystal separation method to design a step-by-step extraction and separation experiment of GEN-PUE-DDZ ternary mixture. Caffeine and L-proline were added to the mixed system in turn, GEN-caffeine cocrystal and PUE-proline cocrystal were prepared by suspension method. The cocrystals precipitated out of the solution. The purities of the GEN-caffeine cocrystal and the PUE-proline cocrystal could achieve 93% (the purity of GEN) and 99% (the purity of PUE). Besides, the purity of DDZ could also be increased by 6.76 times. This study proposed a simple operating, low cost and wide application range separation method different from the traditional separation method and realized the separation of structurally similar chemical components in TCM, laying a foundation for the application of cocrystal technology in the separation and refining of TCM.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Flemiphilippinin D on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rats and explore its mechanism. MethodForty rats were randomly divided into normal group, CIA group, methotrexate (MTX) group (1.35 mg·kg-1), low-dose Flemiphilippinin D group (1.5 mg·kg-1), and high-dose Flemiphilippinin D group (3.0 mg·kg-1), with eight rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the CIA model was induced by type Ⅱ collagen. Each group was given corresponding liquid medicine or normal saline, once a week in the MTX group, and once a day in the Flemiphilippinin D groups for a total of 28 days. The arthritis score and joint swelling degree of rats were experimentally recorded. Pathological changes in the ankle joint of rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were detected by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA), and the mRNA expression of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), and nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and the protein expressions of TLR2, MyD88, and NF-κB p65 were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group, the ankle joint of the CIA group was significantly swollen, and the clinical score of arthritis and the degree of joint swelling were significantly increased (P<0.01). The ankle joint tissue structure was significantly damaged, and the levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in serum were significantly increased (P<0.01). The mRNA levels and protein levels of TLR2, MyD88, and NF-κB p65 were significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the CIA group, arthritis clinical score and joint swelling of rats in each administration group were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the pathological changes in the ankle joint were significantly improved. The contents of serum IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The mRNA levels and protein levels of TLR2, MyD88, and NF-κB p65 in the ankle joint were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionTo a certain extent, Flemiphilippinin D can reduce the expression of inflammatory factors in rheumatoid arthritis rats and play a good therapeutic effect. It works perhaps by inhibiting the activation of the TLR2/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway and thus shows an anti-inflammatory effect.

Puerarin (PUE), as an isoflavone component, has a wide range of pharmacological activities, while its poorly aqueous solubility limits the development of solid oral dosage forms. In this study, PUE along with nicotinamide (NIC) were prepared into the coamorphous system by solvent-evaporation method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). In addition, its dissolution behavior and solubilization mechanism were also investigated. PUE-NIC coamorphous was a single homogeneous binary system, with a single glass transition temperature at 35.1 ℃. In comparison to crystalline PUE, during the dissolution process, coamorphous PUE-NIC not only exhibited the "liquid-liquid phase separation" (LLPS) phenomenon, but the formation of Ap type complexation (1∶1 and 1∶2) between PUE and NIC molecules was also verified, which significantly improved the solubility of PUE and prolonged the supersaturation time, and would benefit its absorption.

ObjectivecircRNAs play an important role in tumor development, but the relationship between circRNAs and hepatocellular carcinoma remains to be further explored. The present study aimed to bioinformatically analyze the target gene of microRNA-1. Another aim was to screen circRNAs that are associated with target genes and differentially expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, as well as provide theoretical basis for clinical screening of molecular markers and targeted therapies related to hepatocellular carcinoma.MethodsThe miRNA related database used for the prediction of microRNA-1 target genes, and the bioinformatic analysis of the target genes of microRNA-1 involved functional enrichment analysis and signal transduction pathway enrichment. Then, the circRNAs, which are related to the downstream target genes of microRNA-1, are screened through the circRNA database.ResultsThe number of microRNA-1 target genes was 230 in miRNA related database. Through GO analysis, it was found that the target genes of microRNA-1 had a strong tendency in regulation, and were mainly enriched in three aspects: biological function, biological process and cell localization.The target genes of microRNA-1 are involved in the function of proteins, regulation of biosynthesis, cofactor binding, enzyme regulation and other biological processes. Predicted target genes of miRNA-1 were significantly enriched in cancer signaling pathways, hepatitis B occurrence, endocytosis and splicing pathways. Further, 21 circRNAs related to the target gene of microRNA-1 were found in three circRNA databases, wherein hsa_circ_0004651 was highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 and its pavent gene was hnRNPD.ConclusionMicroRNA-1 influence the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma development through the regulation of protein and enzyme. Hsa_circ_0004651 may affect the development of hepatocellular carcinoma with microRNA-1 and its parental gene hnRNPD.

Purpose@#Four and a half LIM protein 1 (FHL1) is involved in breast cancer (BC) development, but the regulatory mechanism involved remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the role of FHL1 in BC development. @*Methods@#The expression of FHL1, miR-183-5p, and miR-96-5p in BC tissues was analyzed using StarBase analysis. FHL1 expression in BC tissues, a normal human breast epithelial cell line, and BC cell lines was detected using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationship between FHL1 and miR-183-5p/miR-96-5p was analyzed via Pearson's rank correlation, TargetScan, and a dual-luciferase reporter assay. BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with either FHL1 and miR-183-5p mimics, or siFHL1 and a miR-183-5p inhibitor, respectively. The viability, colony number, migration, invasion, and tube length of BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were examined using cell counting kit-8, colony formation, wound-healing, Transwell, and tube formation assays, respectively. The levels of FHL1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), p53, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin were quantified using western blotting and qRT-PCR. @*Results@#FHL1 expression was downregulated in BC tissues and cells, whereas miR-183-5p and miR-96-5p were upregulated in BC tissues (negative correlation with FHL1 expression).FHL1 overexpression inhibited the viability, colony number, migration, and invasion of BC cells and the expression of VEGF, N-cadherin, and vimentin, and increased the expression of FHL1, p53, and E-cadherin in BT549 cells. Furthermore, a miR-183-5p mimic reversed these effects of FHL1 overexpression, whereas FHL1 silencing caused opposite results to those observed in MDA-MB-231 cells; however, this was reversed by a miR-183-5p inhibitor. @*Conclusion@#Our study suggests that miR-183-5p promotes cell proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis by negatively regulating FHL1 in BC.

Objective To understand the prevalence of small for gestational age (SGA) in Zhuang population, and to analyze the potential factors of SGA. Methods A total of 3 839 live births in the Wuming District People’s Hospital and Wuming Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2016 to January 2018 were recruited. Random Forest, 2 test and Logistic regression model were used for statistical analyses. Results The incidence of SGA was 9.6% (368/3 839), and it was 6.9% (142/2 049) and 12.6% (226/1 790) for male and female infants respectively. Random Forest method showed that second-trimester intrauterine growth restriction’s importance score was the highest, but gestational week’s was the lowest. Also, seven important variables were selected by this method. Unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that parity <2, the height of mothers <1.55 m, insufficient gestational weight gain, second-trimester intrauterine growth restriction were risk factors for SGA, but pre-pregnancy BMI ≥18.5 kg/m2 and male infants were protective factors. Conclusions The incidence of SGA is slightly higher, among the Zhuang population in Guangxi. SGA is affected by many factors. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the status of intrauterine growth and adopt comprehensive measures to control and reduce the incidence of SGA.

Objective@#To observe continuous and intermittent application of lamivudine or entecavir resistance mutations in patients with chronic hepatitis B.@*Methods@#Data of patients with active stage of chronic hepatitis B over the past 6 years were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The incidence of drug resistance mutation and related factors between patients taking LAM or ETV continuously and intermittently were compared with those taking LAM or ETV. Data comparison was performed using χ2 test.@*Results@#Patients with HBV DNA≥105 copies / ml at the time of initial treatment had higher resistance mutation rates than those with HBV DNA < 105 copies / ml at either continuous or intermittent treatment, and patients with intermittent treatment had higher resistance mutation rates than those with continuous treatment. Simultaneously, the incidence of drug resistance mutation in LAM and ETV in the first, second and third years were significantly higher in intermittent treatment than that of continuous treatment (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the frequency of drug withdrawal and the rate of drug resistance mutation. There were no individual difference and drug difference between LAM and ETV.@*Conclusion@#In the treatment of chronic hepatitis B with oral nucleoside analogues, drug resistance may occur in either continuous or intermittent treatment. When comparing continuous with intermittent treatment, it suggests that intermittent is more likely to cause viral resistance mutation.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Sevoflurane preconditioning (SP) has been shown to invoke potent myocardial protection in animal studies and clinical trials. However, the mechanisms underlying SP are complex and not yet well understood. We investigated the hypothesis that the cardioprotection afforded by SP is mediated via the Wnt/glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β)/β-catenin signaling pathway.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two models were established: a Langendorff perfused rat heart model and the H9C2 cell hypoxia/reoxygenation model. Both rats and H9C2 cells were randomly divided into 6 groups as follows: S group, ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) group, DMSO group, IWP group, SP group, and SP + IWP group. Hemodynamic parameters, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in coronary effluent and cell culture supernatant, and the infarct size were measured to evaluate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injuries. To determine the activity of Wnt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway, the expressions of Wnt3a, phospho-GSK3β, and β-catenin were measured by Western blotting.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>SP improved cardiac function recovery, reduced infarct size (18 ± 2% in the SP group compared with 35 ± 4% in the I/R group; P < 0.05), decreased LDH activity in coronary effluent, and culture supernatant. IWP-2, an inhibitor of Wnt, abolished the cardioprotection by SP. In addition, Western blotting analysis demonstrated that the expressions of Wnt3a, phospho-GSK3β, and β-catenin significantly (P < 0.05) increased in the I/R group, compared with the S group; and compared to I/R group, SP significantly (P < 0.05) increased Wnt3a, phospho-GSK3β, and β-catenin expressions. Pretreatment with IWP-2 significantly (P < 0.05) abolished SP-induced Wnt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling activation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The results showed for thefirst time that cardioprotection afforded by SP may be mediated partly via the Wnt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway.</p>

Objective To investigate the expression of the preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME) gene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML),and to evaluate its applicability in monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD).Methods Bone marrow specimens were collected from 63 cases of de-novo AML,while 34 samples from 11 patients were tracked for 28 months.The level of PRAME mRNA was measured by real time RT-PCR.Results The PRAME gene expressed in 52.4 % (33/63) of de-novo patients,and the positive rate was highest in M3 than that in other subtypes of AML.The expression of PRAME became negative after treatment and increased in the following months before morphology relapse.Conclusion The PRAME gene is highly expressed in AML and could be a useful marker to monitor MRD.
