Objective:Study on the correlation between the active components of Salviea Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma screened by high-throughput sequencing and the regulation of lncRNA-mRNA in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.Methods:A549 cells were cultured, and the IC 50 dose of cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA was confirmed according to the cell proliferation experiment. A549 cells were randomly divided into blank control group, cryptotanshinone group, and tanshinone IIA group using a random number table method. After 24 hours of intervention, the cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. High-throughput sequencing technique was used to detect the expressions of lncRNA and mRNA in A549 cells in intervention group and non-intervention group. By analyzing the expression profiles of differential genes related to cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA, the obtained differential genes were analyzed by GO and KEGG. Results:The cell cycle results showed that the proportion of G0/G1 phase cells in cryptotanshinone and Tanshinone ⅡA was increased ( P<0.01), the proportion of S phase cells was decreased ( P<0.01), and the proportion of G2/M phase cells in cryptotanshinone was decreased ( P<0.01). The results of high-throughput screening showed that cryptotanshinone could up-regulate 4 698 lncRNA, down-regulate 1 557 lncRNA, up-regulate 4 810 mRNA and down-regulate 5 644 mRNA. Tanshinone ⅡA could up-regulate 1 348 lncRNA, down-regulate 1 299 lncRNA, up-regulate 4646 mRNA and down-regulate 4 741 mRNA. The function and pathway enrichment analysis of differential lncRNA and mRNA showed that the differentially expressed genes of cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA were mainly related to cell cycle, autophagy, AMPK signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway and EGFR signaling pathway. GAS5 may be one of the targets for the inhibitory effects of cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA. Conclusion:Cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA have certain inhibitory effects on A549 cells, and there are differentially expressed genes of lncRNA-mRNA, which are closely related to cell cycle and signal pathway.

As an important concept in Chinese medicine theory, "qi sinking" is the inheritance and extension of the thought core of sinking of qi in whole body. This article explored the concept of sinking of pectoral qi, center qi, and kidney qi in the theory of qi sinking, and believed that sinking of pectoral qi, stagnation and sinking of center qi, deficiency and sinking of kidney qi were the core pathogenesis of postoperative injury in malignant tumours. Anchored to the method of reinforcing healthy qi and lifting the sunken, this article recommended to identify pattern and treat by guiding supplement and lifting the sunken. For lung gold impairment, heart yang depletion, and pectoral qi sinking, the treatment is to warm and supplement heart and lung, lift pectoral qi, and restore the respiratory function by modified Shengxian Decoction (升陷汤) plus Guizhi Decoction (桂枝汤); for spleen depletion and pathways blockage, liver failing to act freely, and center qi stagnation and sinking, the treatment is to warm and supplement center qi, raise yang and lift the sunken, and restore the digestive function by modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤); for source exhausted and essence deficiency, liver qi hiding, and kidney qi deficiency to inward invasion, the treatment is to nourish the kidney and astringe the liver, consolidate the original qi and lift qi, improve the pelvic floor dysfunction, and protect the kidney function by modified Liuwei Dihuang Pill (六味地黄丸) plus Shengma Chaihu Decoction (升麻柴胡汤). Modification need base on different disease patterns and stages, and new ideas for postoperative traditional Chinese medicine treatment and rehabilitation of malignant tumours were provided.

Objective:To explore the possible risks of re-fracture after bone healing in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia, who were treated with combined surgery.Methods:56 children (35 males and 21 females, with an average age of 38.0±9.2 months ranging from 18 to 66 months) with re-fracture after bone healing were retrospectively enrolled from January 2007 to August 2016, during which a total of 142 children with CPT underwent combined surgical treatment in the orthopedics department of Hunan Children's Hospital. Complete healing of the tibial pseudarthrosis, trauma after surgery, breakage of fibula, and the distal end of the tibial intramedullary rod located in the tibial medullary cavity or not were hypothesized as 4 risk factors. Univariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the correlation between these factors and re-fractures after tibial pseudarthrosis healing.Results:The average follow-up was 81.7±10.8 months ranging from 60 to 120 months with at least 5 years after bone healing. For complete or partial healing of the tibial pseudarthrosis after surgery, the number of re-fractures was 48 and 8, respectively; For with or without a history of trauma, the number of re-fractures was 50 and 6, respectively; for with an intact or broken fibula after surgery, the number of re-fractures was 7 and 49, respectively; For entry or no entry of the intramedullary rod into the tibial medullary cavity, the number of re-fractures was 44 and 12, respectively. The results of univariate logistic regression analysis showed that partial healing of the tibial pseudarthrosis after surgery [ OR=0.255, 95% CI (0.107, 0.605), P=0.002], history of trauma [ OR=36.458, 95% CI (13.332, 99.701), P<0.001], incomplete fibula [ OR=0.267, 95% CI (0.108, 0.661), P=0.004], and intramedullary rod insertion into the tibial medullary cavity [ OR=2.640, 95% CI (1.224, 5.695), P=0.013] were associated with re-fracture after bone healing. The number and proportion of cases with recurrent fractures occurring ≤1, 1-3, 3-6, ≥6 years after bone healing were 5 cases, 9% (5/56), 14 cases, 25% (14/56), 22 cases, 39% (22/56), 15 cases, and 27% (15/56), respectively, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=11.569, P=0.009). With the extension of follow-up time, the number of cases of re-fractures after bone healing increases, mostly occurring more than one year after bone healing. There were 44 cases (47%, 44/94) and 12 cases (25%, 12/48) of re fractures after bone healing in 94 cases of distal intramedullary rods in the tibial medullary cavity and 48 cases of cross ankle joint fixation, respectively. The difference in the incidence of re-fractures was statistically significant (χ 2=6.327, P=0.018). The incidence of intramedullary rod displacement in cases where the distal end of the intramedullary rod is located within the tibial medullary cavity was 100%. Conclusions:Factors of partial healing of the tibial pseudarthrosis, a history of trauma, incomplete status of the fibula after surgery, and intramedullary rod's entry into the tibia were risk factors for re-fracture after bone healing treated with combined surgery for CPT. After the healing of the tibial pseudarthrosis, it is not advisable to push the tibial intramedullary rod into the tibial medullary cavity, which can cause unstable fixation of the tibial intramedullary rod and result in displacement, and even affect the development of the tibial mechanical axis or the occurrence of re-fractures.
摘要
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown good efficacy in tumor treatment and have changed the landscape of tumor treatment. However, some patients treated with ICIs have not only failed to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, but also developed an atypical response pattern of abnormally accelerated tumor growth, namely hyperprogressive disease (HPD). The pathogenesis of HPD is still unclear and it is difficult to diagnose, which poses a challenge for clinical identification and treatment decisions. Exploring the underlying mechanism of HPD is important to improve the effect of immunotherapy. Based on the theory of "Yang deficiency and toxic knot", this paper discussed the mechanism of HPD in immunotherapy from the perspective of "spleen and kidney Yang deficiency and hefty toxic pathogens". It was concluded that the inactivation of p53 oncogene and immunosuppressive microenvironment were the manifestations of the deficiency of healthy qi in the body and declined yang in the spleen and kidney, serving as an important basis for the occurrence of HPD. Adverse reactions caused by ICIs belong to the category of "drug toxicity". The occurrence and development of murine double minute 2 (MDM2)/murine double minute 4 (MDM4) activation, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, and tumor inflammatory microenvironment are the manifestations of the hyperactivity of pathogenic Qi, conflict of cancer toxicity and drug toxicity, and being hefty by virtue of deficiency, which can promote the abnormal proliferation of tumor cells, and they are the core pathogenic elements of HPD and are closely related to disease prognosis. In terms of treatment, under the guidance of the theory of "five views on differentiation and treatment" (time-space view, core view, symptom view, precision view, and disease-before-onset view), which was summarized according to the clinical practice of this research team, this paper, taking the prevention and treatment of HPD as the entry point, formulated traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compounds to reinforce healthy Qi and warm Yang and realize the dynamic management of the whole spatiotemporal cycle, and removed toxins and resisted cancer to realize the all-round systemic intervention of the specimen. Additionally, targets were enriched in the macro-clinical manifestations and microscopic pathological changes of HPD to improve the targeting of drug selection and the precision of prevention and treatment, giving full play to the unique therapeutic advantages of TCM, and providing new ideas for the clinical application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of HPD.

Objective:To explore the risk factors associated with tibia fractures in children with congenital anterolateral bowing of the tibia (ALBT).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 87 children diagnosed with ALBT at the Children's Hospital of Hunan Province from January 2012 to January 2020. The collected data included age at initial diagnosis, affected limb side, whether there was a concomitant type I neurofibromatosis, whether there was a concomitant fibular pseudoarthrosis, whether there was concomitant ankle joint deformity, whether there was bone cystic change in the region of tibial bowing deformity, location of the apex of the bowing deformity, diameter of the tibial bowing deformity on the affected side, diameter on the healthy side in the same plane as the tibial bowing deformity, angle of lateral bending deformity of the tibia, angle of anterior bending deformity of the tibia, occurrence of tibia fracture, history of trauma before fracture, location of fracture, and age at the time of fracture. The follow-up endpoint was January 2023. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine the optimal cutoff values for the angles of lateral and anterior bending deformity of the tibia and the ratio of cross-sectional areas. The correlation between the above factors and tibial fractures in children was analyzed by single factor survival analysis, and the indicators with statistical significance were included in multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis to determine the risk factors for tibial fractures in children with ALBT.Results:Of the 87 children diagnosed with ALBT, the median age at initial diagnosis was 14.0 months (range, 1-93 months), with 42 males and 45 females, 44 left-sided and 43 right-sided cases. The median follow-up time for non-fracture cases was 42.0 months (range, 1-124 months). At the last follow-up, 43 children had experienced fractures, while 44 had not. The average time to fracture-free survival was 70.3 months, the median fracture-free survival time was 55.0 months, and the median survival time without fractures was 42.0 months. The ROC curve results indicated a cutoff value of 25.55° for the lateral bending angle of the tibia and 32.63° for the anterior bending angle of the tibia, with no statistically significant significance for the cross-sectional area ratio [AUC=0.54, 95% CI (0.42, 0.66), P=0.530]. Single-factor analysis of fracture-free survival suggested that there were statistically significant differences in the intergroup fracture-free survival rates of four factors: lateral bending angle of the tibia (χ 2=7.06, P=0.008), anterior bending angle of the tibia (χ 2=8.96, P=0.003), history of trauma (χ 2=18.26, P<0.001), and tibial bone cystic change (χ 2=4.30, P=0.038). The results of the multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that a lateral bending angle of the tibia≥25.55° ( HR=2.73, P=0.007), tibial bone cystic change ( HR=2.35, P=0.018), and history of trauma ( HR=2.65, P=0.004) were all positively correlated with fractures. Conclusion:The main risk factors for tibia fractures in children with ALBT include trauma, tibial bowing deformity with concomitant bone cystic change, and lateral bending angle of the tibia≥25.55°.
摘要
As one of the diseases with high incidence in China, cancer seriously endangers human health. The scientific research and clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the prevention and treatment of tumors during the Sixth Five-Year Plan period and the 13th Five-Year Plan period show that TCM has certain advantages in preventing and treating postoperative metastasis and recurrence, prolonging survival period, alleviating adverse reactions, and improving the quality of life of patients with advanced tumors. However, innovation of the TCM theoretical thinking and realization of the TCM full-cycle management are needed urgently, which limits the improvement of clinical efficacy. Malignant tumor is a truly representative of major difficult diseases. The simple mode of syndrome differentiation and treatment cannot meet the clinical needs, and thus the triple mode of disease, syndrome and symptom differentiation and treatment emerged, and has received widespread attention. However, since malignant tumors have their own characteristics of occurrence, development and evolvement, it is urgent to establish a new system of TCM differentiation and treatment for special diseases to adapt to the law of modern disease development. Therefore, on the basis of the triple mode, this paper innovatively proposed a new system of cancer prevention and treatment based on five views on differentiation and treatment in TCM, forming a new paradigm of whole-cycle, whole-chain and all-directional integrated Chinese and western medicine prevention and treatment of tumors. Specifically, time-space view: On the basis of the holistic concept and combined with the complex characteristics of different pathological types, lesion location, disease course and treatment stages of malignant tumors, the dynamic and systematic participation of TCM in the whole process of tumor treatment was brought into play from the time and space dimensions. Core view: The core pathogenesis was summarized based on the combination of disease and syndrome, and its key role in guiding differentiation and treatment of malignant tumors was emphasized. Additionally, the pathogenesis characteristics and evolvement rules of various cancer types in different stages were paid attention. Symptom view: The symptoms were ameliorated and the quality of life was improved. The current obvious contradictions of patients were solved to enhance the humanistic nature of treatment. Precision view: In combination of modern medical concepts, TCM constitutions and laboratory indicators, TCM advantages were enriched and emphasized for precise clinical positioning. Disease-before-onset view: As prevention is more important than treatment, precaution was focused on in each stage of tumors. The five views had different emphases and were interrelated, covering new understandings of the existing TCM prevention and treatment system of malignant tumors. In addition, new ideas and concepts have been introduced on the basis of the original TCM theory, which provided new strategies for the comprehensive prevention and treatment of tumors.

Objective:To investigate the effect of miRNA-296-5p (miR-296-5p) on the migration and invasion of hypoxia-induced pancreatic cancer cells and its related mechanisms.Methods:Human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1 was selected. Pancreatic cancer tissues from 55 pancreatic cancer patients who underwent the resection and adjacent carcinoma normal pancreatic tissues from 10 patients at Shanghai Fengxian District Central Hospital and Bengbu Medical College First Affiliated Hospital between January 2010 and December 2014 were collected. The expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and miR-296-5p in tissue microarray of pancreatic cancer and adjacent carcinoma normal pancreatic tissues were detected by using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. The relationship between miR-296-5p and HIF-1α as well as their correlation with clinicopathological characteristics of patients were analyzed. PANC-1 cells were divided into hypoxic group and normoxic group. Transwell assay was used to detect the cell migration and invasion ability of both groups. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to examine the expressions of HIF-1α and miR-296-5p under hypoxic environment of both groups. The expression of HIF-1α was interfered by transfecting small interfering RNA (siRNA). PANC-1 cells were divided into PANC-1 group (the empty control), PANC-1-NC group (the negative control) and PANC-1-siRNA group. The expression of miR-296-5p was measured. After co-transfecting miR-296-5p agonist and miR-296-5p inhibitor, the cells were divided into Agomir-miR-296-5p group (agonist group), Agomir-miR-296-5p-NC group (agonist negative control group), Antagomir-miR-296-5p group (inhibitor group) and Antagomir-miR-296-5p-NC group (inhibitor negative control group). Transwell assay was used to detect the cell migration and invasion ability of all groups. Luciferase reporter gene system was used to verify whether miR-296-5p promoter region had binding site of HIF-1α.Results:The high expression rate of HIF-1α in pancreatic cancer tissues was higher than that of adjacent carcinoma normal pancreatic tissues [81.8% (45/55) vs. 0 (0/10), P<0.01], and the high expression rate of miR-296-5p in pancreatic cancer tissues was lower than that of adjacent carcinoma normal pancreatic tissues [12.7% (7/55) vs. 90.0% (9/10), χ2 = 27.23, P<0.01]. The expression of HIF-1α was negatively correlated with that of miR-296-5p ( r = -0.53, P<0.01). The low expression of miR-296-5p was closely related with the tumor diameter, TNM staging, lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). The number of PANC-1 invasion cell was 15.3±2.1 in normoxic group and 24.7±1.5 in hypoxic group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 0.26, P = 0.003). The number of PANC-1 migration cell was 20.7±3.8 in hypoxic group and 32.7±1.2 in normoxic group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.25, P = 0.006). The relative expression level of HIF-1α mRNA in PANC-1 cell of hypoxic group was higher than that of normoxic group [(1.00±0.01) vs. (0.30±0.02)], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 56.45, P<0.01); the relative expression level of miR-296-5p in PANC-1 cell of hypoxic group was lower than that of normoxic group [(1.14±0.04) vs. (3.05±0.20)], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 16.05, P<0.01). The number of invasion cells in PANC-1 group, PANC-1-NC group and PANC-1-siRNA group was 24.7±1.5, 25.7±1.5, 12.0±1.7, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 68.13, P<0.01).The cell invasion ability in PANC-1-siRNA group was decreased compared with that in PANC-1 group ( t = 9.50, P = 0.001). The number of cell migration was 32.7±1.2, 37±1.0, 17.3±1.2, respectively in PANC-1 group, PANC-1-NC group and PANC-1-siRNA group, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 262.09, P<0.01). The cell migration ability in PANC-1-siRNA group was decreased compared with that in PANC-1 group ( t = 16.26, P<0.01). The cell invasion and migration ability in Antagomir-miR-296-5p group was increased compared with that in PANC-1 group (all P<0.05); the cell invasion and migration ability in Agomir-miR-296-5p group was decreased compared with that in PANC-1 group (all P<0.05). The results of luciferase activity detected by luciferase reporter gene system showed that miR-296-5p had the target binding to HIF-1α. Conclusions:HIF-1α plays a key role in the invasion and migration of hypoxia-induced pancreatic cancer cells through negatively reducing miR-296-5p.

Objective:To compare the genotypes and phenotypes between the monozygotic twins via whole genome sequencing to further clarify the autosomal dominant inherited neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) variants related to congenital pseudarthrosis (CP).Methods:According to the diagnostic criteria of congenital tibial pseudarthrosis and the clinical diagnostic criteria of NF1, two pairs of monozygotic twins with NF1 were included. Both were female and only one of each pair had congenital pseudarthrosis. The other did not have congenital pseudarthrosis. Whole genome sequencing was performed using the peripheral blood of the two pairs of monozygotic twins. Customized bioinformatics analysis was then performed to identify single nucleotide variants (SNVs), short insertion deletion variants (InDel), copy number variants (CNVs), and structural variants (SVs). Classified the variants according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and ClinGen criteria. The germline variants within the monozygotic twins were compared to identify the CP patients' unique variants. The shared pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variants between the unique variants in the CP patients from the twins were also analyzed. Further, the identified disease-causing variants were validated by Sanger sequencing in the family of the twins and their parents. Finally, the genotypes and phenotypes regarding the pathogenic variants of the NF1 gene among the twins were characterized. Results:Both the two monozygotic twins were identified pathogenic variants in the NF1 gene. One with c.3047_3048del (p.Cys1016SerfsTer4), and the other with c.4267A>G (p.Lys1423Glu). By Sanger sequencing validation in family quads, the two CP patients and their siblings harbored de novo heterozygous variants of the NF1 gene. In addition to the NF1 gene, no other genes were identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants uniquely in the CP patients compared with their twin sisters, as well as SVs and CNVs. In addition, by analyzing the rare and damaging variants in the two CP patients from the two twins, they had no overlapping genes against the SNVs, InDels, SVs, or CNVs. Conclusion:Whole genome sequencing revealed that both the two monozygotic twins with NF1 were detected pathogenic variants of gene NF1. No other pathogenic variants specific to the CP patients among the twins were identified. The two CP patients shared no other common genes from the detected likely pathogenic variants.

Objective:To identify and analyze different proteins expression in the periosteum of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) using tandem mass tags (TMT) proteomics.Methods:The samples were divided into three groups, namely CPT with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) group (NF1-CPT group), CPT without NF1 group (nonNF1-CPT group) and control group (patients with open tibial fracture). A fold change ≥1.5 or ≤0.66 and P-value <0.05 was regarded as the threshold to screen differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). Subsequently, bioinformatics resources such as online tools DAVID and STRING were used to conduct GO annotation, KEGG pathways enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network with DEPs. Results:A total of 347 proteins differentially expressed in NF1-CPT group, 212 of which were up-regulated and 135 down-regulated. We identified 467 DEPs in nonNF1-CPT group, including 281 up-regulated and 186 down-regulated. Among of them, NF1-CPT group and nonNF1-CPT group shared 231 DEPs, except for HLA-DRB1 which increased in NF1-CPT group but decreased in nonNF1-CPT group. The remaining 230 DEPs showed the same expression trend in the two positive groups, including 117 up-regulated and 113 down-regulated. In particular, a total of 116 proteins were altered only in NF1-CPT group, including 94 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated. However, there were 236 proteins altered only in nonNF1-CPT group, including 164 up-regulated and 72 down-regulated. The results indicated that the pathogenesis of NF1-CPT was similar as nonNF1-CPT largely with a few differences. Finally, compared with nonNF1-CPT, there were 47 proteins changed 1.5-fold and P-value <0.05 in NF1-CPT group. Conclusion:The proteins expression in the periosteum of CPT is different from that of normal tibia. The expression of periosteal protein is also different between NF1-CPT and nonNF1-CPT. The present study will deepen our understanding of the pathogenesis of CPT in the protein level.

After 48 hours of transfection, the relative expression of miR-373 was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), cell proliferation by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and cell invasion and migration by Transwell.@*Results@#The relative expression of miR-373 in SJSA-1 cells was significantly higher than that in hFOB-1.19 cells (P<0.05); compared with CK group and NC group, the relative expression of miR-373 in the miR-373 mimic group increased significantly (P<0.05), and the relative expression of miR-373 in the miR-373 inhibitor group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); optical density (OD) value of miR-373 mimic group at 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h were significantly higher than that of CK group and NC group (P<0.05), and OD value of miR-373 inhibitor group at 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h were significantly lower than that of CK group and NC group (P<0.05); the number of cell migration in the miR-373 mimic group was significantly higher than that in the CK group and NC group (P<0.05), and the number of cell migration in the miR-373 inhibitor group was significantly lower than that in CK group and NC group (P<0.05); the number of cell migration in the miR-373 mimic group was significantly higher than that in the CK group and NC group (P<0.05), and the number of cell migration in the miR-373 inhibitor group was significantly lower than that in CK group and NC group (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#The expression of miR-373 is up-regulated in osteosarcoma. Overexpression of miR-373 can promote the proliferation, invasion, and migration of osteosarcoma cells, while the low expression of miR-373 can inhibit the proliferation, invasion, and migration of osteosarcoma cells, which may be an important target for the diagnosis and treatment of osteosarcoma.

Background:CXCR4 is widely expressed in tumor cells and participates in tumor invasion and metastasis. RNA interference technology can effectively reduce or shut down the expression of genes and block tumor invasion and metastasis at different levels. Aims:To investigate the mRNA and protein expressions of CXCR4 and their relationship with clinicopathological features of gastric cancer,and to explore the effect of silencing CXCR4 by siRNA on biological behavior of gastric cancer. Methods:A total of 86 gastric cancer tissues and their adjacent normal mucosa were collected. mRNA and protein expressions of CXCR4 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively,and their relationship with clinicopathological features was analyzed. The CXCR4 RNA interference plasmid vector was constructed,and were transfected into gastric cancer cell line MKN45. Cell proliferation,migration and invasion,apoptosis were detected by MTT assay,Transwell assay and flow cytometry,respectively. Results:mRNA and protein expressions of CXCR4 in gastric cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in adjacent normal tissues (P <0.05),and CXCR4 expression was related to TNM staging,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Compared with negative control cells, cell proliferation in siRNA transfection group at 24,48,and 72 hours were significantly decreased (P <0.05 ),cell migration rate and cell invasion rate were significantly decreased (P <0.05),and cell apoptosis rate was significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusions:CXCR4 plays an important role in the development of gastric cancer. The silencing CXCR4 gene by siRNA can significantly inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of MKN45 cells,and increase apoptosis,thereby providing a new strategy for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Objective To systematically evaluate the role of laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).Methods A systematic literature search was conducted on Medline-Pubmed,Embase,Cochrane Library to find studies on laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy for LDLT.All extracted data were analyzed using the RevMan 5 software.Results Ten studies with a total of 1 059 participants were included in this analysis.Laparoscopic donor hepatecomy (LDH) was associated with significantly less intraoperative blood loss [SMD =-0.39,95% CI (-0.73,-0.05),P < 0.05],lower peak level of postoperative total bilirubin [SMD =-0.24,95% CI (-0.47,-0.01),P < 0.05]and longer operative time [SMD =0.50,95% CI (0.04,0.96),P <0.05] when compared with those operated with open surgery.On subgroup analyses,hospitalization stay decreased in patients who underwent LDLT with grafts obtained by complete living donor hepatectomy (LDH) and left lateral sectionectomy (both P < 0.05).LDH was comparable to open surgery in donor complication rates and in-hospital cost (P > 0.05).There were no differences on the harvested liver graft size,ischemic time,recipient postoperative liver function and complications between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions Laparoscopic hepatectomy in living donor is a safe procedure for graft-harvesting,which improved the clinical outcomes of the donor,liver graft and recipient in LDLT.It has also the advantages of reduced blood loss,low peak levels of postoperative total bilirubin and short hospitalization stay.

Objective To observe the protein degredation of empty puparium cases ofC. megacephala after weathering and to explore its practical significance on postmortem interval estimation in forensic science. MethodsThe standardized feeding was used inC. megacephala, and the empty puparium cases were collected and put into the forest. They were taken back 5 days, and 10 days later, respectively. The spectra were collected and preprocessed, and then the absorption peaks of amides were read, and curve fitting was performed in the average spectra of each group. The statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 19.0.Results Compared to control group, ifve days post weathering, the position of amideⅠabsorption peak showed blue shift, but the amideⅡabsorption peak showed no shift, moreover, none of the amide absorption peaks showed changes inpeak intensity. For the secondary structures, α-helix decreased and β-sheet increased slightly, however, β-turn did not change; Ten days post weathering, the positions of both amideⅠandⅡabsorption peaks showed blue shift, and an obviousshoulder peak appeared in amide I absorption peak. Meanwhile, both of amideⅠandⅡabsorption peaks showed decreased in peak intensity. Moreover, for the secondary structures, α-helix and β-sheet showed the same tendency as in the 5th day group, except for the β-turn increased dramaticlly.Conclusion The spectra of the empty puparium cases of C. megacephala showed that the absorption peaks of amideⅠandⅡpresented certain characteristic features within ten days post weathering, and estimate relative long-time postmortem interval.

Objective To detect the changes of microbial community functional diversity of corpses with different postmortem interval(PMI)and to evaluate forensic application value for estimating PMI. Methods The cultivation of microbial community from the anal swabs of aSusscrofaand a human corpse placed in field environment from 0 to 240 h after death was performed using the Biolog-Eco Mi-croplate and the variations of the absorbance values were also monitored. Combined with the technology of forensic pathology and flies succession, the metabolic characteristics and changes of microbial commu-nity on the decomposed corpse under natural environment were also observed.Results The diversity of microbial metabolism function was found to be negatively correlated with the number of maggots in the corpses. The freezing processing had the greatest impact on average well color development value at 0 h and the impact almost disappeared after 48 h. The diversity of microbial metabolism of the samples be-came relatively unstable after 192 h. The principal component analysis showed that 31 carbon sources could be consolidated for 5 principal components(accumulative contribution ratio >90%). The carbon source tsquare-analysis showed thatN-acetyl-D-glucosamine andL-serine were the dominant carbon sources for estimating the PMI(0=240 h)of theSusscrofaand human corpse.Conclusion The Biolog-Eco method can be used to reveal the metabolic differences of the carbon resources utilization of the microbial community on the corpses during 0-240 h after death, which could provide a new basis for estimating the PMI.
