Objective:To investigate the functional mechanism of circular RNA signal-induced proliferation-associated gene 1(circSIPA1L1) on proliferation, migration and invasion of renal cell carcinoma cells, as well as to explore its mechanism.Methods:The study was completed between January 2019 and December 2019. Bioinformatics was used to analyze the expression of circular RNA(circRNA), circSIPA1L1 in renal cancer tissue and the information of circSIPA1L1. The expression of circSIPA1L1 mRNA, miR-22-3p in renal cancer tissues and renal cancer cells was detected by RT-qPCR. The circSIPA1L1 interference vector negative control (si-NC group), circSIPA1L1 interference vector (si-circSIPA1L1 group), si-circSIPA1L1+ miR-22-3p suppression vector plasmid negative control (anti-miR-NC group), si-circSIPA1L1 + miR-22-3p inhibition vector plasmid (anti-miR-22-3p group) were transfected into A498 and OSRC2 cells respectively. Dual luciferase reporter gene experiment was used to verify the targeting relationship. Clone formation experiment and Transwell chamber were used to detect cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The xenograft model was established by subcutaneous injection of A498/sh-circSIPA1L1 or A498/sh-NC (2×10 6 in 0.2 ml PBS/mice) on the right back of nude mice, and nude mice were divided into sh-circSIPA1L1 group and sh-NC group. Nude mice tumor formation experiments were used to detect tumor formation ability. Results:The expression of circSIPA1L1 mRNA in adjacent tissues and renal cancer tissues were (1.09±0.44) and (3.89±1.35) respectively. The expression of miR-22-3p were (1.02±0.30) and (0.44±0.19)respectively. The difference of the expression of circSIPA1L1 mRNA and miR-22-3p in kidney cancer tissue and adjacent tissues were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with normal kidney cell KiMA, the expression of circSIPA1L1 mRNA in renal cancer cells A498 and OSRC2 was increased, and the expression of miR-22-3p was decreased ( P<0.05). The cell clone number of A498 and OSRC2 in the si-circSIPA1L1 group (130.67±15.04, 99.00±14.80) was lower than that in the si-NC group (314.33±29.57, 234.67±21.50), the number of cell migration (108.33±17.01, 85.67±11.93) was lower than si-NC group (265.00±20.00, 210.33±18.58), cell invasion number (84.00±12.00, 66.00±10.15) was lower than si-NC group (210.33±18.58, 173.00±17.52), and the differences were all statistically significant ( P< 0.05). CircSIPA1L1 targets and negatively regulates miR-22-3p expression. The cell clone number of A498 and OSRC2 in the si-circSIPA1L1+ anti-miR-22-3p group (234.20±21.90, 185.06±20.72) was higher than that in the si-circSIPA1L1+ anti-miR-NC group (134.65±26.55, 106.14±16.38), the migration cell number (187.02±23.54, 117.86 ±15.09) was higher than that of the si-circSIPA1L1+ anti-miR-NC group (110.59±12.12, 91.70±14.83), and the number of cell invasion (168.23±11.69, 103.70±9.23) was higher than that of the si-circSIPA1L1+ anti-miR-NC group (90.46±11.53, 61.35±9.10). The differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05). The tumor volumes of nude mice in the sh-NC group and sh-circSIPA1L1 group on day 35 were (578.65±68.67) mm 3 and (242.56±42.35) mm 3 respectively, the tumor weights of nude mice were (0.68±0.06) g and (0.38±0.04) g respectively, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CircSIPA1L1 can promote the deterioration of renal cancer, promote the proliferation, migration, invasion of cancer cells and tumor growth. The mechanism of action is related to the direct targeting of miR-22-3p.

Objective To study the relationship between mental effort and personal time perspective during the process of individual changing bad habits.Methods 230 graduate students were collected to attend this longitudinal study of 21 days by experience sampling method.The data on mental effort and performance were obtained from the process of daily change of the bad behavior.Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) was applied to graduate students.The survey results were analyzed by hierarchical linear modeling (HLM).Results In 21 days,the mental effort of subjects showed very clear downward trend,the trend of the change was statistical significant (total score(5.63±2.62),t=-5.590,P＜0.01).Mental effort didn't have significant difference in five kinds of behavioral objectives (keeping early hours,exercising daily,dieting,reading daily,limiting screen time) (P＞0.05).The male obviously put more effort than the female during the study(t=2.743,P＜0.01).Both Present Hedonism and Futurism were inversely related to mental effort,which was statistical significant (t=-2.504,P＜0.05;t=2.39,P＜0.05).Both Present Fatalism and Futurism had the effects on the changing trend of the mental effort regulatory,which was statistical significant (t=-3.099,P＜0.01;t=-2.400,P＜0.05).Conclusion The mental effort of changing the behavior will gradually decline during the process of habit establishment.The mental effort of subjects who had present fatalism or futurism show a faster decline.

Objective To investigate the underlying neural mechanism of left hemiparalexia and left hemialexia in reading Chinese characters. Methods A patient with reading disorders caused by brain infarctions at the left ventralis medialis occipitotemporal lobe and the splenium of the corpus callosum was studied. A series of neuropsychological tests, such as reading Chinese characters presented in the central foveal field or in the left and right half of the foveal field, were conducted with the patient, and neuroimaging techniques including high spatial resolution 3D-MRI and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) were used to examine whether or not there were lesions of the neural pathway. Results The patient showed left hemiparalexia, which was characterized by making substitution or omission mistakes, mostly in the left parts of Chinese characters, and also left hemialexia(alexia for characters presented in left visual field). 3D-MRI demonstrated infarctions in the left ventral mesial occipitotemporal area and in the left side of the splenium of the corpus callosum. The left lateral mid-fusiform cortex, which has been identified as the visual word form area(VWFA), was almost intact. DTT indicated the major forceps fibers running through the splenium were all disconnected due to the infarction of the left splenium. Conclusion As a result of disruption of the splemium-major forceps pathway, visual character information in the left visual field which is initially projected to the right occipital cortex cannot be transferred from the right visual cortex to the left VWFA. This mechanism of left hemiparalexia and left hemialexia in reading Chinese characters is similar to that in reading English words.

BACKGROUND: Following renal transplantation, native renal pelvic or ureteral tumor occurs not only on one side, but also on both sides simultaneously or continuously.OBJECTIVE: To describe a new procedure in managing native renal pelvic or ureteral tumor, in which, retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was first done followed by transurethral resection of ureteral orifice, and finally the kidney and the complete ureter with a bladder cuff were taken out through a midline abdomen incision, and to validate its feasibility.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A technique modification experiment was performed at the Department of Urinary Surgery, Third Hospital, Peking University between July 2004 and March 2006.PARTICIPANTS: Eight patients (7 males and 1 female) with native renal pelvic or ureteral tumor who received laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection were included into this study. Of them, 4 cases had bilateral lesions. Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection was conducted 12 times totally.METHODS: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was first done in the lateral decubitus, followed by transurethral resection of the ureteral orifice with resectoscope in the lithotomy position, and finally, an incision was created in the lower midline abdomen to allow dissection of the distal ureter and bladder cuff and intact specimen extraction. Postoperatively, intravesical chemotherapy was routinely performed to prevent tumor recurrence. The patients were followed up at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery, and once a year thereafter.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Surgery time, blood loss volume, pathological report, tumor recurrence time, tumor-free survival time, and complications.RESULTS: The mean surgery time was 3.8 hours (range: 2.5-7 hours). The mean hemorrhage volume was 240 mL (range: 50-1 200 mL). Two cases needed blood transfusion, 600 and 1 000 mL, respectively. Transitional cell carcinoma grade Ⅲ was found in 3 cases, grade Ⅱ in 4 cases, and grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ in 4 cases. In addition, there was 1 case presenting with tumor breaking through the serous membrane of the ureter and 1 case suffering from poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The tumor recurred locally in one case 6 months after surgery, and the remaining cases all survived in a tumor-free state.CONCLUSION: After renal transplantation, laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection through a lower midline abdomen incision is feasible for treatment of native renal pelvic or ureteral tumor, with low tumor recurrence rate and satisfactory excision effects.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) genotyping with vaginal self-sampling in primary screening and combining cytology or viral load for HR-HPV positive as secondary screening strategies.Methods:The data referring to HR-HPV genotyping of self-collected sample with mass array matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), HR-HPV viral load of physician-collected sample with hybrid capture Ⅱ (HC-Ⅱ), liquid-based cytology and histology of 8 556 women were from Shenzhen cervical cancer screening trial Ⅱ (SHENCCAST-Ⅱ) conducted between April 2009 and April 2010. The data were reanalyzed to determine the sensitivity and specificity to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) of grade 2 or worse (CIN Ⅱ +), CIN of grade 3 or worse (CIN Ⅲ +) when HR-HPV genotyping combining with colposcopy as primary screening strategy based on varied HR-HPV subtype (strategy 1, including 5 sub-strategies: 1a: HPV 16/18 positive; 1b: HPV 16/18/58 positive; 1c: HPV 16/18/58/31/33 positive; 1d: HPV 16/18/58/31/33/52 positive; 1e: any HR-HPV positive). The data were also compared to determine the efficacy of cytology (strategy 2, including 5 sub-strategies: 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e) or HR-HPV viral load (strategy 3, including 4 sub-strategies: 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) of physician-collected sample as a triage with HR-HPV genotyping for self-sampling HR-HPV positives. Results:(1) The HR-HPV positive rate was 13.77% (1 178/8 556) in the self-collected samples of 8 556 pregnant women. Of them,the prevalences of HPV 16/18, HPV 16/18/58, HPV 16/18/58/31/33 and HPV 16/18/58/31/33/52 were 3.16% (270/8 556), 5.14% (440/8 556), 6.66% (570/8 556) and 9.81% (839/8 556), respectively. The HR-HPV viral load ≥10 relative light units/control (RLU/CO) was 8.87%(759/ 8 556), while cytological results ≥atypical squamous cell of undetermined signification (ASCUS) were 12.05% (1 031/8 556). (2) The strategy 1e had the highest sensitivities for CIN Ⅱ +, CIN Ⅲ + which were 92.70% and 94.33%,respectively,among 14 sub-strategies,while the lowest specificity and positive predictive value (PPV). Meanwhile,the required colposcopy referral rates were much higher than other 13 sub-strategies (13.77%). The other 4 sub-strategies of strategy 1 (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d), strategy 1a had the highest specificities for CIN Ⅱ + and CIN Ⅲ + (97.92%, 97.69%, respectively), while 1d had the highest sensitivities for CIN Ⅱ + and CIN Ⅲ + (88.41%, 92.20%, respectively). (3) Both strategies of referring self-sampling HPV 16/18 positives for immediate colposcopy followed by triage physician-collected sample cytology (≥ASCUS) or viral load (≥10 RLU/CO) for non-HPV 16/18 positives had significantly higher sensitivity and specificity for CIN Ⅱ, CIN Ⅲ +, as well as lower referral rates (strategy 2a and 3a). Additionally, based on these two secondary screening strategies, cumulatively using the other four HR-HPV (HPV 58, 31, 33 and 52) positives as triage for immediate colposcopy showed an enhanced sensitivity. Conclusions:Primary HR-HPV cervical cancer screening strategy based on self-sampling with triage of cytology (≥ASCUS) or viral load (≥10 RUL/CO) provides a good balance among sensitivity, specificity for CIN Ⅱ + and CIN Ⅲ + and the number of tests required, referral rates. The efficacy of HR-HPV genotyping combining cytology or viral load secondary screening strategies will have a spiral escalation when HPV 58, 31, 33, 52 are included.

Objective To study the changes of resting-state brain activity in knee osteoarthritis(KOA)patients with chronic pain.Methods The data of 21 KOA patients (KOA group) and 21 healthy controls (HC group) who underwent standard resting-state fMRI scan were analyzed with regional homogeneity (ReHo) method to observe the changes in the patients in contrast to the controls.Results Compared to HC group,patients of the KOA group showed ReHo changes in bilateral frontal lobe,bilateral parietal lobe,bilateral temporal lobe,bilateral cerebellum,limbic system and default-mode network.Conclusion Patients with chronic pain demonstrate abnormal neuron activities in the brain regions, and control loops not only related with pain but also related with emotive function disorder and cognitive impairment.

Objective To study the medication regularity of compound herbal formulae in treating patients with advanced non-small lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Compound herbal formulae published on journals for the treatment of NSCLC were searched and collected from CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang Data for database establishment. Frequency analysis, cluster analysis, and association rule analysis were used for data mining, and regularity of main Chinese medicinal herbs and herbal pairs (combinations) were investigated. Results There were 107 compound herbal formulae (involving 193 Chinese medicinal herbs and 1298 frequency) for NSCLC. 42 Chinese medicinal herbs were used for more than 9 times. Cluster analysis on the tastes and properties of the 42 Chinese medicinal herbs found that, among the four qi, cold showed the highest frequency (409);among the five tastes, sweet showed the highest frequency (627);among the meridians, lung meridian showed the highest frequency (546). Cluster analysis divided main Chinese medicinal herbs into 9 types, including yin-nourishing herbs, heat-clearing herbs, qi-tonifying herbs, blood-enriching herbs, blood circulation activating herbs, hemostasis herbs, phlegm-reducing herbs, qi-descending herbs, lung-astringing herbs. Associate rule analysis obtained 26 rules for Chinese medicinal herbal pairs, 18 rules for Chinese medicinal herbal combination, most of which were combinations for tonifying qi, nourishing yin, and clearing heat. Conclusion Chinese compound herbal formulae for the treatment of NSCLC mainly use Chinese medicinal herbs with properties of cold and mildness, with the tastes of sweet and bitter, with meridians of lung, spleen, and stomach, with the treatment of tonifying qi, nourishing yin, and detoxication.

OBJECTIVE To compare the difference of methods for active systemic anaphylactic reaction induced by breviscapine injection between ″Pharmacopoeia″ 2010 edition, an Attached ⅫG in Traditional Chinese Medicine lnjection Safety Test Application Guidelines ″ Anaphylactic Reaction Test″(thereafter referred to as the method of ″Pharmacopoeia″) and the Traditional Chinese Medicine, Natural Medicine lmmune Toxicity (Anaphylaxis, Anaphylactic Reaction of Light) Technology Guiding Principles in the 2005 Version (thereafter referred to as the method of ″Guiding Principle″) and provide reference for non-clinical safety evaluation of drugs. METHODS According to the methods of ″Pharmacopoeia″and ″Guiding Principle″, respectively, the effect of breviscapine injection on active systemic anaphylactic reaction of guinea pigs was investigated. The guinea pigs were divided into four groups, negative control group, positive control group, breviscapine injection 5 and 50 mg.kg-1 groups. ln the sensitization phase, the guinea pigs were ip administrered with breviscapine injection 0.5 mL each every other day for 3 times. The dose was 5 and 50 mg.kg-1 , respectively. For the method of ″Pharmacopoeia″, on the 14th and 21st days after the first sensitization, the guinea pigs were iv administrered with breviscapine injec-tion 1 mL. For the method of ″Guiding Principle″, the guinea pigs were provocated on the 12th day after the first sensitization. Each group was studied by observing the symptom of anaphylactic reaction and immune time. RESULTS For the method of ″Pharmacopoeia″, on the 14th day after the first sensitization, there was 1 guinea pig with sneezing and (or) the nose-scratching at different time in the 5 mg.kg-1 group. ln the 50 mg.kg-1 group, there was one or two cases of sneezing and (or) 1 case of nose-scratc-hing. The 5 and 50 mg.kg-1 dose groups conformed to the regulations. On the 21st day after the first sensitization, trembling occurred in the 5 mg.kg-1 group, with 1 or 2 guinea pigs sneezing and ( or) scratching the nose. There were 4 guinea pigs (4/ 4) with sneezing 1 and 3 times, cough once or twice, 1 scratching nose and urination at different time, and 1 guinea pigs (1/ 4) appeared 3 times consecutive sneezing and shivering in 50 mg.kg-1 group. The 5 mg.kg-1 group conformed to the regulations, while the 50 mg.kg-1 group did not. For the method of ″Guiding Principle″, the 5 mg.kg-1 group was weak positive or positive, with different degrees of symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction, including 3 guinea pigs scratched nasal symptoms. And the 50 mg.kg-1 group of anaphylactic symptoms including scratc-hing nose, sneezing, coughing and (or) urination, showed positive. CONCLUSION During the active systemic anaphylactic reaction of drugs non-clinical safety evaluation of drugs the advantage of either method should be brought into play. The method of ″ Pharmacopoeia″ may be used for preliminary screening of test samples. ln case pf suspected reactions, the method of ″Guiding Principle″ should be used for more detailed observations.

Objective Leucine-rich repeat transmembrane neuronal protein 2 (LRRTM2) localizes to excitatory glutamatergic synapses,and triggers the formation of excitatory synapses.This study aims to investigate the expression of LRRTM2 protein in the temporal lobe tissue of SD rats induced by lithiumpilocarpine,and explore its roles in epilepsy.Methods Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were induced by lithium-pilocarpine and randomly divided into 6h,24h,72h,7d,14d,30d and 60d subgroups.Eight SD rats were treated with normal saline instead of pilocarpine as controls. Expression of LRRTM2 protein was accessed by immunohistochemistry,immunofluorcscence and Western blot analysis. Results LRRTM2 protein mainly expressed in neurons of temporal lobe,gradually decreased in acute phase,and then up-regulated in latent and chronic periods.The immunohistochemistry A values in model rats from 6 h,24h,72h,7d,14d,30d and 60d subgroups were 0.286 ±0.012,0.227 ± 0.008,0.425 ± 0.015,0.509 ±0.019,0.579 ± 0.018,0.488 ± 0.018 and 0.566 ± 0.014,respectively,compared to 0.330 ±0.016 in control group ( t =3.965,11.987,9.131,14.121,20.452,12.929 and 22.786,all P＜0.05). Gray value ratios of LRRTM2/β-actin in different groups of model rats were 0.0354 ± 0.0043,0.0174 ± 0.0026,0.0685 ± 0.0064,0.0957 ± 0.0125,0.1044 ± 0.0103,0.0910 ± 0.0108,and 0.1012 ±0.0063,respectively,which were significant differences from control group (0.0471 ± 0.0033,t=4.354,14.191,5.989,7.541,10.565,7.730and15.316,allP＜0.05).Conclusions LRRTM2 protein gradually increases in the neurons of temporal lobe of SD rats treated by lithium-pilocarpine in silence and chronic phases,which indicates that it may play an important role in cpileptogenesis.
