1.Role of Warburg effect in arsenic carcinogenesis: a recent advance
Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2017;36(1):70-73
The glucose metabolism pathways including glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in vivo.The metabolism of tumor cells depends on glycolysis,which enhances the adaptability of tumor cells to the microenvironment and promotes the proliferation of tumor cells,which is called Warburg effect.Arsenic is one of the chemical pollutants,which is widely distributed in natural environment.International agency for research on cancer (IARC) has made it clear that arsenic and its compounds are carcinogens.However,the mechanism of carcinogenesis induced by arsenic still remains obscure.Recently,researchers have found that Warburg effect plays an important role in the process of arsenic carcinogenesis.In this paper,we have reviewed the definition and function of glycolysis,its relationship with inflammation and tumorigenesis,and the role of Warburg effect in arsenic carcinogenesis.

Objective To prove the existence of dry eye in children and to learn the clinical characteristics of them. Design Prospective observational case series. Participants 38 cases(76 eyes) of suspected children of dry eye diagnosed by adult standard and 38 normal children subjects. Methods 38 suspected child patients were studied who were diagnosed clinically with dry eye by adult standard, and were followed up 6 months. The control group consisted of 38 normal children with no significant difference in age. Dry eye examinations including Schirmer test, break-up time(BUT) and fluorescein staining were performed on these two groups. Following items were recorded in 38 suspected children of dry eye, including symptoms and causations. Main Outcome Measures Symptoms, Schirmer test, BUT and fluorescein staining. Results In the 38 suspected patients, frequent blinking was the most common symptom in 21 cases(55.26%), followed by dryness (15 cases, 39.47%), redness (14 cases, 36.84%) and photosensitivity (14 cases, 36.84%). The Schirmer test and BUT were decreased remarkably in the suspected patients compared to those of normal subjects (P=0.0000). In both groups, right eyes were correlated with left eyes in both Schirmer test and BUT. Between these two groups, Schirmer test was nol correlated with BUT. In the suspected patients, the results of BUT and fluorescein staining were improved (P
4.Evaluation and management of soft tissue healing induced by closed fracture
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(11):-
The criterion of injury severity is an important part of evaluation,which can affect the treatment for closed fracture.The reaction in soft tissue healing process contains microvascular responses and inflammation.Take soft tissue with low immunity as a incision will lead to wound dehiscence and deep infection.Therefore,realization of injury severity lays a foundation for effective treating with closed fracture.Many treatment methods,such as splint fixation,cryotherapy,compression or delayed operation,can prevent soft tissue from a second injury,and promote self-repair ability prior to operation.The newly development surgical tech-nique can improve efficacy of therapy,meantime,decrease the incidence of complications.

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.
