Methods: Retrovirus expression cector pLXSN-bcl-2 was constructed and was transfected to ovarian cancer cell line cells OC3 using Lipofectin,with empty vector pLXSN as a control. bcl-2 expession of transfected cells was analyzed by FACS and Western blot and Adr-induced cytotoxicity was measured by MTT assay. Apoptosis was also detected by PI DNA staining and DNA Ladder analysis.Results:pLXSN/bcl-2 transfected cells OC3/bcl-2 overexpressed bcl-2 and were resistant to Adr-induced cytotoxicity.The ability against Adr-induced apoptosis was increased. Conclusion: bcl-2 may play an important role in the resistance to Adr-inducing apoptosis, thereby increasing resistance of OC3/bcl-2 cells to chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the serum amyloid A (SAA) and interleukin-18(IL-18)concentration in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its macrovascular complications, and study the relation between them. Methods ELISA was used to assay serum SAA and IL-18 levels in 65 T2DM patients (including 31 cases with macrovascular complications) and 30 healthy controls. Results Serum SAA and IL-18 levels [(3.09±0.96)mg/L, (98.8±36.4)ng/L]were significantly elevated in patients with T2DM as compared with those in control subjects [(1.06±0.45)mg/L, (58.9±15.6)ng/L](P<0.05). There was significant difference of SAA and IL-18 levels between T2DM patients with [(6.34±1.52) mg/L,(141.2±48.3)ng/L]and without macrovascukar complications [(2.65±0.39)mg/L, (80.2±20.1)ng/L](P < 0.05).Univariate linear regression analysis showed significant positive correlations between serum IL-18 with SAA (r =0.615, P<0.05), SAA, IL-18 and fasting blood glucose (FBG) had mutual positive correlations (r=0.312, 0.428, P< 0.05, respectively). Conclusions In patients with T2DM, serum SAA and IL-18 concentration is greater than in non-diabetic subjects. SAA and IL-18 play important roles in the initiation and development of T2DM. The study suggests that SAA and IL-18 might be an important independent risk factor.

Objective:To investigate the effects of cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) promoter methylation in ovarian cancer on gene transcription and protein expression levels, and the regulation mechanism of mirNA-148A on CADM1 methylation levels.Methods:A total of 86 patients with ovarian cancer who received surgical treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from Jun. 2018 to Jun. 2020 were selected as study subjects. The methylation level of CADM1 gene CpG island in ovarian cancer tissues and adjacent tissues was quantitatively detected. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA and mirNA-148a expressions of CADM1 gene. The CADM1 gene and DNMT1 protein levels were detected by Western blot. Human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells were treated with different concentrations of methyltransferase inhibitors (5-Azacytidine, 5-aza) , and CADM1 mRNA expression was detected 72 h later. Human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3 were transfected with mir-335-5p mimic, inhibitor and negative control respectively. Then mir-335-5p expression level and CADM1 gene methylation level were detected after transfection.Results:The methylation level of CADM1-1 island in ovarian cancer tissues was 2.89%±0.82%, significantly higher than that of paracancerous normal tissues 1.86%±0.68% ( t=4.936, P<0.001) , and that of CADM1-2 island in ovarian cancer tissues was 3.12%±0.93%, significantly higher than that of paracancerous normal tissues (2.27%±0.69%, t=5.114, P<0.001) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the methylation level of CADM1-1 island and CADM1-2 island in ovarian cancer tissues was significantly negatively correlated with the relative mRNA expression (r was -0.615 and -0.582, respectively, and both P<0.001) , and with the protein expression level of CADM1 (r was -0.521 and -0.612, respectively, and both P<0.001) . The relative expression level of mirNA-148a in ovarian cancer tissues was 1.53±0.42, significantly lower than that in paracancer tissues (2.59±0.73, t=6.113, P<0.001) . After treatment with different concentrations of 5-AZA, mRNA expression levels of CADM1 gene in SKOV3 cells were significantly higher in the low concentration group and the high concentration group than in the control group (both P<0.05) , and mRNA expression levels in the high concentration group were significantly higher than in the low concentration group ( P<0.05) . After mirNA-148A transfected SKOV3 cells, the relative expression levels of mirNA-148a in the mimic group were significantly increased, while those of inhibitor group were significantly decreased ( P<0.001) . The DNMT1 expression level and CADM1 gene methylation level of mimic group were significantly decreased, while those of inhibitor group were significantly increased (P<0.001) . Conclusion:In ovarian cancer, miRNA-148a can regulate the DNA methylation level of CADM1 gene by acting on the downstream target protein DNMT1, thus affecting the mRNA and protein expression levels of CDM1 gene and participating in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer.

Objective To review our single institutional 10-year experience in complex chest wall reconstruction and identify a working algorithm based on our retrospective analysis.Methods A retrospective analysis of 87 patients who underwent chest wallreconstruction in our department from January 2005 to December 2015.Fifty female patients and 37 male patients who underwent the above procedure were reviewed retrospectively.The median age of the patients is 52.3 years (24-75years).Histologic diagnosis including squamous-cell carcinoma (n =10),soft tissue sarcoma(n =22),chondrosarcomas(n =13) and metastasis from breast cancer(n =42).Type of skeletal defect including partial ribs/sternum defects in 19 cases,soft tissue defects alone in 33 cases,complicated composite chest wall defects involving multiple layers(soft tissue,ribs/sternum,and intrathoracic organs) in 35 cases.Sole methylmethacrylate/polypropylene mesh was used for small sized rib defects in 26cases.Methylmethacrylate/polypropylene mesh sandwich prostheses was used in 28 cases with extensive skeletal reconstruction after partial sternectomy and rib resection.The chest wall defects were repaired with pedicled internal mammary artery perforator flap(3 cases),pedicled deep superior epigastric artery perforator flap(4 cases),pedicled pectoralis major flap(8 cases),free anterolateral thigh perforator flap(9 cases),free deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap(17 cases),pedicled lateral thoracic flap(5 cases),pedicled latissimus dorsi flap(17 cases),pedicled rectus abdominis flap(15 cases),free deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap combined with pedicled rectus abdominis flap (4 cases),pedicled bipaddled latissimus dorsi flap(5 cases).11 cases with extensive full-thickness defects of the chest wall,the skeletal reconstruction was achieved with prosthetic sandwich and then covered with the omental flap,further free flaps were harvested for skin and soft tissue repairing.Results 1 case with pedicled rectus abdominis flap partial necrosis was noted,free anterolateral thigh flap was used for repairmen after further revision.1 case with edicled bipaddled latissimus dorsi flap,necrosis of the distal 1/4 part of one paddle was noted,healed with dressing therapy,no secondary skin grafting was required.Postoperative venous congestion occurred in 2 cases with deep inferior epigastric artery flap transplantation,in which both skin flaps exhibited venous crisis within 24 h after surgery.The reexploration procedures were successful in both cases and the flaps survived totally.All other flaps survived.The mean follow-up was 31 months,ranged from 9 to 72 months.No tumour extirpation was noted,functional and appearance results were satisfied.Conclusion According to the size and location of chest wall defect,different pedicled and free flaps should be chosen to achieve optimal outcome.Free flaps are efficient for large complex chest defects reconstruction.

Objective: To understand knowledge, attitude and behavior toward Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) among middle school students in Wuhan, in the phase of normalized control and prevention of COVID 19, so as to provide evidence for further health education. Methods: In January 2021, cluster random sampling method was used to select one middle school from Hongshan and Dongxihu District, as well as Donghu high tech zone, respectively. By using the "questionnaire star" platform, questionnaire QR code were sent to students through QQ or wechat by schools. A total of 4 531 middle school students were investigated. Results: Preventive knowledge and behavior rate was 71.5% (3 238) and 56.0% (2 537), respectively. Preventive behaviors towards COVD 19 was reported in 56.0% (2 537) of participants. Students with parents as health care workers reported higher preventive behaviors(P<0.05).Girls had a higher rate of possession of health knowledge for prevention and control than boys. Compared with "essentially no concern about the epidemic","students with less concern about the epidemic" and "those with similar concern as 2020" were more likely to have higher awareness of health knowledge for prevention and control. Compared with the first-year junior middle school students, high school students were less likely to have the rates of knowledge for prevention and control health [OR(95%CI）=1.24（1.09-1.43）,2.56(1.54-4.25),3.30(1.99-5.48),0.49(0.39-0.62),0.45(0.36-0.57),0.63(0.46-0.88)].In terms of health behavior rate, middle school students whose mothers are undergraduates, whose incomes were more than 8 001-15 000 and 15 000 yuan, "whose attention to epidemic situation has declined" , "whose attention is the same as that in 2020" , "who did not plan to study medicine before" , "who are determined to study medicine, and who plan to study medicine more firmly after epidemic situation " were more likely to have health behavior,[OR(95%CI)=1.29(1.04-1.60),1.39（1.07-1.82）,1.74(1.32-2.29),1.77(1.06-2.96),3.47(2.08-5.81)] ,The grade-2 high middle school students had lower probability of preventing and controlling health behaviors [OR(95%CI)=0.74(0.60-0.90)](P<0.05). Preventive knowledge and behaviors towards COVID 19 are mainly from school education, communication with parents and mobile learning. Conclusion Preventive knowledge and behaviors towards COVID 19 among Wuhan middle school students are needed to be improved and targeted health education should be implemented accordingly.
