ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the mechanism of leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor-1(LAIR-1)in regulation of the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF)mediated janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription(JAK/STAT)signaling pathway transduction and its influence on the function of Mo7e cell line,and to provide informa-tion for further studies on the role of LAIR-1 in hematopoietic cell differentiation.Methods Lentiviral vector of LAIR-1(LV-LAIR-1)was transferred into GM-CSF-dependent Mo7e cells to establish stable and high expression of LAVI-1 Mo7e-LAVI-1 cell line,and the LAIR-1 expression was measured by flow cytometry assay,Western blot,reverse transcription polymerase chain reac-tion(RT-PCR)and laser scanning confocal microscopy(LSCM).The influence of LAIR-1 on the function of Mo7e cells was detected by the CCK-8 kit,FITC Annexin V apoptosis kit and Transwell experiments.The effect of LAIR-1 on JAK/STAT signaling pathway was measured by Western blot.Results LV-LAIR-1 was highly expressed in Mo7e cells transfected by LV-LAIL-1.Compared with control group,LAIR-1 could significantly inhibit the proliferation of Mo7e cells(P<0.001),and promoted the migration of Mo7e cells,but has no significant effect on cell apoptosis.GM-CSF can upregulate the phosphorylation levels of JAK2,STAT1,STAT3 and STAT5,while the expression of LAIR-1 can significantly inhibit the phosphorylation levels of STAT1,STAT3 and STAT5 proteins.Conclusion LAIR-1 as an immune inhibitory receptor can inhabit GM-CSF-mediated JAK-STAT signaling pathway and may play a role in myeloid cell development.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (sRANKL), Omentin-1 levels and postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) .Methods:A total of 310 menopausal patients admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital from Jun. 2017 to Jul. 2021 were selected, including 165 patients with PMOP and 145 women with simple menopause as the control group. Serum sRANKL and Omentin-1 levels were detected by ELISA. Bone mineral density and bone metabolism indexes [N-terminal propeptide of typeⅠprecollagen (PINP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), β isomer of the C-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen (β-CTX) and osteocalcin (OC) ] were compared between the two groups. The correlation between serum sRANKL and Omentin-1 levels and bone mineral density and bone metabolism indexes in PMOP patients was analyzed by Pearson. The predictive value of sRANKL and Omentin-1 to PMOP was analyzed by ROC curve. Logistic regression analysis of the influence of multiple factors on PMOP.Results:Compared with the control group (15.62±4.41) (42.56±8.53), the serum sRANKL level (26.63±8.12) was increased and Omentin-1 level (32.32±5.52) was decreased in PMOP group ( t=14.55, P<0.001; t=12.69, P<0.001). The serum sRANKL in PMOP group was positively correlated with PINP, β-CTX and OC, while the serum Omentin-1 level was negatively correlated with the above indexes by Pearson analysis. ROC curve showed that serum sRANKL and Omentin-1 had important reference significance in predicting PMOP. Logistic regression suggested that increased sRANKL and decreased Omentin-1 were risk factors for PMOP. Conclusion:Serum sRANKL and Omentin-1 in patients with PMOP are correlated with bone mineral density and bone metabolism, and have potential as diagnostic targets of PMOP.

The serum sRAGE levels in patients with COPD[GOLD Ⅰ(0.46±0.40),GOLDⅡ (0.28±0.25),GOLD Ⅲ (0.29±0.25),GOLD Ⅳ (0.25±0.19)ng/ml] were significantly lower compared with non-smoking control group[(0.85±0.35)ng/ml], t=3.459, P=0.000 5; t=10.23, P<0.000 1; t=13.95, P<0.000 1; t=11.70, P<0.000 1. Serum S100A8/A9 levels were positively correlated with smoking amount and NEU% ( r=0.458 5, P<0.000 1; r=0.228 3, P=0.001 1), negatively correlated with FEV 1/FVC, the percentage of FEV 1 in the predicted value, and sRAGE( r=-0.190 6, P=0.006 4; r=-0.186 3, P=0.007 8; r=-0.201 7, P=0.003 9). sRAGE levels were negatively correlated with NEU% ( r=-0.155 9, P=0.026 4). In the ROC curve, the area under the curve of S100A8/A9, sRAGE and combined detection were 0.922[95 %CI(0.897-0.947)], 0.926[95 %CI(0.899-0.952)]and 0.966 [95 %CI(0.950-0.983)], respectively. Conclusion:S100A8/A9 and sRAGE are closely correlated with the degree of airflow constrains and the levels of serum inflammatory mediators, which are expected to be as potential biomarkers of COPD.

ABSTRACT

Human activity recognition is an important area of ubiquitous computing. Most current researches in activity recognition mainly focus on simple activities, e.g., sitting, running, walking, and standing. Compared with simple activities, complex activities are more complicated with high-level semantics, e.g., working, commuting, and having a meal. This paper presents a hierarchical model to recognize complex activities as mixtures of simple activities and multiple actions. We generate the components of complex activities using a clustering algorithm, represent and recognize complex activities by applying a topic model on these components. It is a data-driven method that can retain effective information for representing and recognizing complex activities. In addition, acceleration and physiological signals are fused in classifier level to ensure the overall performance of complex activity recognition. The results of experiments show that our method has ability to represent and recognize complex activities effectively.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level in women of childbearing age with normal menstrual cycles. Methods A total of 1 423 women with regular menstrual cycles were selected and divided into 5 groups according to their ages, i.e.≤25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40,≥41 years. Their serum levels of AMH were measured, and the relationship between AMH and age was analyzed. Results The serum AMH levels of 5 groups according to ages (≤25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, ≥41 years) were 3.62, 3.10, 2.27, 1.07, 0.45μg/L, respectively. The comparison of serum AMH levels in different age groups had significant difference (P<0.01). Serum AMH level declined with increasing age,and dropped significantly after 36. The serum AMH level and age showed a negative correlation with significant difference (r=-0.374, P<0.01). Quadratic regression of logAMH proximally reflected the relationship between AMH and age. Conclusion AMH determination for women of childbearing age could provide reference for the evaluation of ovarian function.

ABSTRACT

To generate a mWAP-hLF hybrid locus that the transcription of human lactoferrin (hLF) genomic sequence is directed by the up & down stream regulatory sequence of murine whey acidic protein (mWAP) gene locus, we describe here a successive three-step 'Gap-repair' method. First, a gap-repair vector based on pBR322 vector backbone by inserting six joint homologous arms was constructed. Then using 'Gap-repair 'method mediated by Red recombination system of lambda-prophage in Escherichia coli, in the first step, the 8 kb 3' flanking region of the mWAP gene was subcloned from the Bacterial artificial chromosome which harbors the mWAP gene locus(mWAP BAC) into the gap-repair vector; in the second step, the 29 kb hLF genomic sequence from the ATG code to the TAA code was subcloned from the hLF BAC; in the third step, the 12 kb 5' flanking region of the mWAP gene was subcloned from the mWAP BAC. Finally, all these three DNA fragments were automatically combined together without any gap in the gap-repair vector, and a 49 kb mWAP-hLF hybrid locus that the hLF genomic sequence was flanked by the 5' & 3' flanking region of mWAP gene locus was constructed. The result was confirmed by PCR, restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing. Our method provide a new way for the construction of large mammary-gland expression vector.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of laparoscopic operations in the treatment of ovarian endometriosis cysts. Methods We compared clinical data between 52 cases of laparoscopic operation for ovarian endometriosis cysts (Laparoscopy Group) and 75 cases of open operation for ovarian endometriosis cysts (Open Group) in the same period. Results The operation time was significantly shorter in the Laparoscopy Group (61 4?9 3) than in the Open Group (72 6?7 1) ( t =7 692, P =0 000). The time to first flatus was significantly earlier in the Laparoscopy Group (25 3?4 1 h) than in the Open Group (49 8?6 9 h) ( t =22 935, P =0 000). The postoperative pyrexia rate in the Laparoscopy Group (9/52) was significantly lower than that in the Open Group (31/75) ( ? 2 =8 216, P =0 004). There were no significant differences on the remission rate of dysmenorrhea between the Laparoscopy Group (26/37) and the Open Group (34/51) ( ? 2=0 128,P =0 818) and on the postoperative pregnancy rate between the Laparoscopy Group (5/22) and the Open Group (7/25) ( ? 2 =0 171, P =0 747). Conclusions Laparoscopic operation for ovarian endometriosis cysts is as effective as open operation, being an ideal alternative.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the value of laparoscopy in the treatment of intramural myoma.Methods Totally 120 cases of intramural myoma were randomly divided into laparoscopy(n=52)and open groups(n=68).Clinical data,including operation time,intraoperative blood loss,rates of postoperative pyrexia and postoperative complications,length of hospital stay and follow-up,were compared between the two groups.Results Compared to the open group,the laparoscopy group had significantly longer operation time (106.3?54.9)min vs(66.5?7.3)min,t=5.918,P=0.000],less blood loss 10-300 ml(median,50 ml)vs 20-200 ml(median,50 ml),Z=-1.998,P=0.046],lower rate of postoperative pyrexia 7.7%(4/52)vs 30.9%(21/68),?2=9.608,P=0.002],similar rate of postoperative complications 3.8%(2/52)vs 8.3%(3/36),?2=0.000,P=1.000],shorter hospital stay (7.5?1.4)d vs(10.4?1.2)d,t=-12.201,P=0.000],and similar length of follow-up (9.7?2.3)months vs(9.6?1.8)months,t=0.267,P=0.790] and rate of normal menses 94.4%(17/18)vs 90.5%(19/21),?2=0.000,P=1.000].Conclusions Laparoscopy is as effective as open surgery for intramural myoma.While the laparoscopy leads to better postoperative recovery than the open surgery.
