Objective The present study is to investigate IL-24 gene(Ad5F35-hIL-24) effect on the topoisommeraseⅡα(topoⅡα) and Caspase-3 expression in glioma cell line U251. Methods After transfected the U251 glioma cells with the Ad5F35-hIL-24, the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) was used to analyse the inhibition rate of Ad5F35-hIL-24 on the cells. Hoechst 33258 fluorescent staining and flow cytometric assay were used to detect apoptosis. The immunohistochemistry assay was used to detect topoⅡα expression, and Western blotting was applied to detect the protein expression of topoⅡα and caspase-3. Transwell experiment was used to test the invasiveness of the cells. Results It was found that the Ad5F35-hIL-24 could inhibit U251 cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in a dose dependent manner compared with the control groups. It showed that Ad5F35-hIL-24 could inhibit topoⅡα expression reveled by immunohistochemistry and Westeren blotting, while it increased caspase-3 protein expression. The Transwell experiment showed that the Ad5F35-hIL-24 could reduce the invasiveness of the U251 glioma cells.Conclusion The exogenous IL-24 gene can inhibit the cell proliferation and induce apoptosis of U251 glioma cells. The topoⅡα and Caspase-3 are the important molecular targets of the IL-24 gene. These results may give support for the IL-24 gene usage in clinical treatment for glioma patients.

Objective:To evaluate the hemostatic effect of self-expanding polyurethane foam in an animal model of fatal hepatic trauma and hemorrhage.Methods:The fatal liver trauma hemorrhage model with swine was established. Then the damage-controlled resuscitation was performed. Thirty minutes after injury, the experimental animals were randomly divided into the gauze packing group (GP), foam packing group (FP) and blank control group (BC). The survival time, vital signs, the bleeding volume, coagulation function and other lab indicators were recorded for 48 h. Liver histopathological examination was performed after death or execution.Results:All the three groups had severe hemorrhagic shock after modeling. The 48-h survival rate of the FP group and the GP group was significantly higher than that of the BC group (6/6 vs 4/6 vs 0/6). The average survival time of the FP group was not statistically different from that of the GP group [48 h vs (44.58±5.53) h, P>0.05], and was significantly longer than that of the BC group [48 h vs (1.64±0.17) h, P<0.01]. The bleeding volume of the FP group was significantly less than the GP group and BC group [(19.2±7.3) g/kg vs (41.3±8.6) g/kg, (51.5±7.3) g/kg, both P<0.01]. Compared with the GP group and the BC group, the cardiac output of the FP group was significantly improved [(5.00±0.53) L/min vs (4.13±0.41) L/min, (2.38±0.48) L/min, both P<0.05]. The coagulation function, liver and kidney function and blood lactate level of the FP group and the GP group were better than those of the BC group; the intra-abdominal pressure of the FP group was significantly higher than that in the GP group [(18.83±3.25) cmH 2O vs (3.83±1.47) cmH 2O, P<0.05]. There was no abnormal increased in intra-abdominal pressure in the BC group. According to the histopathology examination, there was no obvious secondary damage in the FP group. Conclusions:The application of self-expanding polyurethane foam for intraperitoneal packing to stop bleeding can effectively reduce the amount of bleeding in the fatal liver trauma hemorrhage model, effectively maintain vital signs, and improve the short-term survival rate.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors associated with lesion residual after minimally invasive rotary mastectomy for breast masses and to construct a predictive model using columnar plots.Methods:Two hundred and twenty-eight patients with Breast lumps in Linyi People’s Hospital from Jun. 2018 to Jun. 2020 were selected as study subjects, all of whom underwent minimally invasive rotational resection, and the influencing factors of postoperative lesion residual were analyzed using univariate and multifactorial analysis, and a column line graph risk warning model was constructed and given for evaluation and validation.Results:228 patients were followed up for 6 months after surgery, 3 cases were lost, 225 cases completed postoperative follow-up, among which 185 cases (82.22%) had successfully resected lesions; 40 cases (17.78%) had residual lesions. Univariate, logistic regression analysis showed that tumor diameter ( t=15.52, P<0.001) , lesion morphology ( t=15.52, P<0.001) , lesion boundary ( χ2=7.71, P=0.006) , ultrasound guidance ( χ2=12.69, P<0.001) , and minimally invasive spinotomy system ( χ2=10.64, P=0.001) were the factors influencing lesion residual after minimally invasive spinotomy of breast masses. Based on the above factors to construct a column line graph model of lesion residual after minimally invasive rotational mastectomy for breast lumps, the area under the working characteristic curve (ROC) for model subjects was 0.974 (95% CI: 0.954-0.994) , indicating that the calibration curve basically matched the actual curve; external validation of the model showed that the area under the obtained ROC was 0.962 (95% CI: 0.933-0.991) , indicating that the model has a high degree of calibration. Conclusion:Tumor diameter, lesion morphology, lesion boundary, ultrasound guidance, and minimally invasive spinotomy system are the influencing factors of lesion residual after minimally invasive spinotomy for Breast lumps, and the column line graph model prediction of lesion residual occurring after surgery constructed based on the above factors has good confidence.

Objective:To observe the predictive value of serum LP-PLA2, PAPP-A and C-peptide for patients with diabetes (GDM) patients during pregnancy.Methods:From Jan.2018 to Jan. 2022, 400 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM group) and 400 healthy pregnant women who underwent prenatal examinations (control group) were enrolled. The serum prenatal lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) , pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) , C-peptide and neonatal blood glucose levels were compared between the two groups. The correlation of serum Lp-PLA2, PAPP-A and C-peptide with neonatal hypoglycemia in GDM patients was analyzed, and the value of area under receiver operating curve (ROC) for predicting neonatal hypoglycemia was analyzed.Results:The serum levels of Lp-PLA2, PAPP-A and C-peptide in the GDM group were higher than those in the control group (33.57±6.52 nmol/min/ml vs 23.45±4.38 nmol/min/ml, 26.72±4.79 ng/ml vs 23.57±3.08 ng/ml, 27.32±3.97 ng/mL vs 25.15±0.71 ng/mL) ( P<0.05) . The incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia in the GDM group was higher than that in the control group (16.0% vs 4.5%) ( P<0.05) .The serum levels of Lp-PLA2, PAPP-A and C-peptide in GDM patients with neonatal hypoglycemia were higher than those in neonatal normoglycemic patients (35.82±6.42 nmol/min/ml vs 32.29±6.03 nmol/min/ml, 27.72±4.21 ng/ml vs 25.35±3.98 ng/ml, 32.39±4.78 ng/mL vs 22.18±3.94 ng/mL) ( P<0.05) . Logistic regression analysis showed that high levels of serum Lp-PLA2, PAPP-A and C-peptide in the GDM group were independent risk factors for neonatal hypoglycemia. Serum Lp-PLA2, PAPP-A and C-peptide of GDM patients had certain predictive value for the occurrence of neonatal hypoglycemia, among which C-peptide had the greatest predictive value. Conclusion:High levels of serum Lp-PLA2, PAPP-A and C-peptide are independent risk factors for neonatal hypoglycemia in GDM patients, and have certain predictive value, which can provide a reference for clinical prediction of its occurrence.
