@#[摘 要] 目的:通过生物信息学分析以及细胞生物学实验研究角蛋白6A(KRT6A)对胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)诊断、预后判断、免疫微环境以及PDAC细胞PANC1增殖、凋亡等生物学行为的影响。方法:通过GEPIA平台整合TCGA(The Cancer Genome Atlas)数据库与GTEx(Genotype-Tissue)数据库中的数据,分析KTRT6A在PDAC组织中的表达情况,并通过CIBERSORT工具分析KRT6A表达与PDAC组织中免疫细胞浸润的关系,然后通过GSEA方法研究与KRT6A基因表达相关的肿瘤信号通路。选取长海医院病理科保存的60例PDAC组织与癌旁组织标本进行免疫组化分析,验证KRT6A在肿瘤组织中表达情况;通过干扰RNA敲减PANC1细胞中KRT6A的表达,采用CCK-8实验以及流式细胞术检测敲减KRT6A对细胞的增殖、凋亡的影响。结果:利用TCGA与GTEx数据库数据分析发现,KRT6A在人PDAC组织中呈高表达,且与患者较差的生存期存在关联(P=0.015)。利用CIBERSORT软件以及GSEA分析发现,KRT6A高表达的PDAC组织中M2型巨噬细胞浸润性升高(P=0.034),且与Wnt通路(NES:1.7359272,P<0.05)、磷酸戊糖途径(PPP)(NES:1.5613053,P<0.05)等信号通路上调有关联(P<0.05或P<0.01);免疫组化结果进一步验证了KRT6A在PDAC组织中呈高表达(P<0.001)。增殖和凋亡实验发现,干扰KRT6A能够显著抑制PANC1细胞的增殖(P<0.05)以及凋亡(P<0.001)。结论:KRT6A在人PDAC组织中呈高表达,敲减其表达能够抑制PANC1细胞的增殖和凋亡,具有作为PDAC诊断与预后判断新靶标的潜力。

Plastic products are widely used in various fields, and the discarded plastics in the environment can be degraded into microplastics (MPs) or even nanoplastics (NPs), which significantly increases the risk of organism exposure. MPs/NPs have been found in aquatic organisms, birds of prey, and even humans. The detection of plastic particles in biological samples is more complicated than that in environmental samples. Biological samples are mainly composed of various organic substances such as proteins and lipids, which makes the pretreatment process particularly critical. Effective detection and accurate quantification of MPs/NPs are crucial to health risk assessment. In this paper, the exposure levels and composition of MPs/NPs in different tissues and organs of the human body, aquatic organisms, and birds of prey were reviewed. The digestion of biological samples (acids, bases, enzymes, and hydrogen peroxide digestion protocols) and MPs/NPs identification methods (spectroscopy and chromatography) were compared and their advantages and disadvantages were assessed, providing a methodological basis for plastic exposure risk assessment and pollution control.

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of oral administration of Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) on inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut flora in rats with hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (HIRI). Methods: The rats from C. butyricum group were given C. butyricum for 5 days. Then, hepatic ischemia for 30 min and reperfusion for 6 h were performed in all the rats. After the animals were sacrificed, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in serum, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and gut microbiota composition in feces, and malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor-kappa Bp65 (NF-κBp65) and histological analysis in the liver were performed. Results: The rats given C. butyricum showed decreased ALT, AST, LPS, and MDA; improved GSH and histological damage; changes in SCFAs; declined TNF-α, IL-6, TLR4, and pNF-κBp65/NF-κBp65; and changes in the gut microbial composition, which decreased the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and increased the relative abundance (RA) of probiotics. Conclusions: C. butyricum supplementation protected against HIRI by regulating gut microbial composition, which contributed to the decreased LPS and attenuation of inflammation and oxidative stress. These indicate C. butyricum may be a potent clinical preoperative dietary supplement for HIRI.

Eglin C is a small heat-stabilized protein from leeches. It belongs to the potato chymotrypsin inhibitor family, and can inhibit elastase, subtilisin, cathepsin, α-lytic protease and chymotrypsin etc. However, purification of protease by eglin C has not been studied. In this paper, the cDNA sequences encoding eglin C and its mutants were chemically synthesized and cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pQE30. His

The high frequency subject headings were extracted from papers published in Journal of American Medi-cal Informatics Association from 2006 to 2015 to form a matrix of high frequency subject headings and their source papers. The co-occurrence of high frequency subject headings in a paper was clustered and analyzed, which showed that studies in Journal of American Medical Informatics Association from 2006 to 2015 were focused on the design and development of clinical software or platform, application of data mining in medical field, and clinical decision-making support system.

Objective To construct the molecular transmission networks of HIV-1 CRF01 AE strains circulating in China and to analyze their characteristics. Methods Sequences of the pol genes of Chinese CRF01 AE strains were downloaded from Los Alamos database and the related demographic informa-tion was checked. Transmission networks were created by four steps,including phylogenetic tree construc-tion,transmission cluster extraction,minimum genetic distance identification and network visualization. Chi-square test was performed to analyze the differences in the distribution of different populations in the networks and the differences in the distribution of subjects with different degrees among different sub-populations. De-scriptive analysis was used to investigate the transmission links between sub-populations and various regions. Results The 2 419 sequences constituted 250 separate networks including 847 nodes and 610 edges. The number of subjects covered by different networks ranged from 2 to 25. Subjects with degree ≥2 represented only 26. 4%(224 / 847)of network-individuals,but were connected with 66. 5%(563 / 847)of all network-individuals. There were 37. 6%(669 / 1 781)of men who have sex with men(MSM),28. 4%(102 / 359) of heterosexual men,16. 1%(10 / 62)of intravenous drug users(IDUs)and 30. 4%(66 / 217)of hetero-sexual women involved in the networks(χ2 =23. 774,P﹤0. 001). The percentage of subjects with degree ≥2 was high in MSM(10. 8% ,193 / 1 781)compared to that in heterosexual men(5. 6% ,20 / 359)(P =0. 002)and heterosexual women(4. 6% ,10 / 217)(P=0. 004). Of the 669 MSM in the networks,95. 5%(639 / 669)linked to other MSM and only 2. 4% (16 / 669)linked to heterosexual women. However, 15. 1%(10 / 66)of the heterosexual women in the networks linked to MSM. Of the heterosexual men in the networks,35. 3%(36 / 102)linked to heterosexual women,9. 8%(10 / 102)linked to MSM. Of the sub-jects in the networks,20. 9%(177 / 847)linked to other regions' individuals. Conclusion The super-spreaders played an important role in the molecular transmission networks of HIV-1 CRF01 AE strains even though they were in a minority. The transmission of HIV-1 CRF01 AE strains between sub-populations and various regions was complicated and active.
