Objective To investigate the expression of CD133 mRNA in tissues of gastric cancer,and explore its relationship with clinicopathological features. Methods The tissues of gastric cancer and normal tissues adjacent to gastric cancer were obtained from 31 patients.The expression of CD133 mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR,and its relationship with clinicopathological features such as sex,age,tumor diameter,infiltration depth,TNM staging,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 proliferation index was analysed. Results The relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA in tissues of gastric cancer and normal tissues adjacent to gastric cancer were 0.378 3±0.141 1 and 0.038 1 ±0.091 9,respectively(P=0.000).The relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA in tissues of gastric cancer with tumor diameter>5 cm were significantly higher than those with tumor diameter≤5 cm[(0.439 3±0.148 4)vs(0.334 3±0.121 2)](P=0.041),and those in tissues with lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis[(0.426 6±0.132 0)vs(0.239 5±0.030 9)](P=0.004).The rate of lymph node metastasis and the number of metastatic lymph nodes were positively related to relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA(r=0.466,P=0.008;r=0.464,P=0.009).The relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA in those with low expression of Ki-67 were significantly higher than those with high expression of Ki-67[(0.436 4±0.139 8)vs(0.316 4±0.117 4)](P=0.02),and expression of Ki-67 were negatively related to relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA(r=-0.461,P=0.009).Conclusion The expression of CD133 mRNA in tissues of gastric cancer was associated with the rate of lymph node metastasis,number of metastatic lymph nodes and expression of Ki-67,which reflect the status of lymph node metastasis and proliferation of gastric cancer.

Objective To detect the expression of c-met (hepatocyte growth factor receptor), e2f-1 (transcription factor) and Ki-67 in tissues of gastric cancer, explore the relationship among them, and investigate their correlationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. Methods The tissue samples of gastric cancer from 86 patients with radical resection were subjected to immunohistochemical staining, and the expression of c-met, e2f-1 and Ki-67 was detected. The relationship between the clinicopathological characteristics and the expression of c-met, e2f-1 and Ki-67, and that among the expression of c-met, e2f-1 and Ki-67 were explored by univariate and multivariate data analysis. And the relationship between prognosis and expression of c-met, e2f-1 and Ki-67 was analysed by Log rank test. Results c-met, e2f-1 and Ki-67 were widely expressed in tissues of gastric cancer. The higher expression of c-met was associated with higher expression of Ki-67, shorter survival time, upper tumor location, higher lymph node metastasis rate, higher N stage and TNM stage (P<0.05), and the lower expression of e2f-1 was associated with larger tumor diameter, higher TNM stage, deeper invasion, higher lymph node metastasis rate and higher N stage (P<0.05). The multivariate analysis revealed that depth of invasion, N stage, TNM stage and expression of Ki-67 were independent factors for positive expression of c-met, and age and survival time were independent factors for positive expression of e2f-1. Log rank test demonstrated that the factors related to survival included expression of c-met, e2f-1 and Ki-67, N stage, tumor diameter, tumor location, lymph node metastasis rate, depth of invasion and TNM stage. Conclusion c-met is an indicator for malignant behavior and poorer prognosis of gastric cancer. There is a higher expression of e2f-1 in early gastric cancer, while advanced gastric cancer may be associated with a lower expression of e2f-1.

Objective To investigate the independent factors influencing the efficacy of pre-hospital CPR effect. Method The data base with 1376 cases was set up with EpiData software by means of questionnaires and the information was provided by the survivals from cardiopulmonary arrest( CA)saved with cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR), and the data were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software to carry out binary logistic regression. Through single factor analysis, the factors with emerged statistical significance were chosen as variances. Results With regard to the restoration of spontaneous circulation(ROSC), the rescue did by the first witness was the protective factor(PF)( OR = 2.21, P = 0.001, 95.0% CI=1.356-3.602); the male was the risk factor(RF) contrasted with the female( OR = 0. 515, P =0. 006, 95.0%0 CI = 0.320 - 0. 26) ; ages between 20 and 29 years old had higher likelihood of ROSC than group ≥81 years old( OR = 3.241, P = 0.026, 95.0%CI = 1.146 -9.138); the length of CA time before CPR was RF(OR = 0.913, P = 0.000, 95.0%CI = 0.887-0.948);ventricular fibrillation(VF) was PF compared with asystole( OR = 5.092, P = 0.000, 95.0%CI=2.927 -8.861); electric shock was PF(OR = 3.384, P = 0.000, 95.0%CI = 2.033 - 5.635); epinephrine dosage 0 - 4 mg had higher likelihood of ROSC than > 5 nag dosage( OR = 3. 255, P = 0. 001, 95.0% CI = 1. 606 -6.597). In respect of probability about victims at the tittle reached hospital alive, ages of 2- 12 and 13 - 19 years old had higher rations than ≥81 years old( OR = 12.818, P = 0.029, 95.0% CI = 1.299 - 126.508)( OR = 10.505, P = 0.036, 95.0% CI = 1.161-95.058); the length of CA time before CPR was RF(OR =0.862, P = 0.000, 95.0%CI = 0.821-0.906); VF was PF compared with asystole(OR = 7.330, P =0.000, 95.0%CI = 3.962 - 13.560). Conclusions ECG change before CPR, rescue by the first witness,electric shock, the length of CA time before CPR, epinephrine dosage, gender and age were independent influencing factors of pre-hospital CPR for the emergency of ROSC. Age, the length of CA time before CPR and ECG before CPR were influencing factors of pre-hospital CPR for patients at the time transferred to hospital alive.

Objective:To compare the effects of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol on anesthesia and thromboelastography in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy.Methods:From September 2017 to December 2019, 120 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy in Chaoyang Central Hospital were prospectively selected and divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method, with 60 cases in each group.The two groups used the same drugs before induction and the same way of anesthesia induction. During the maintenance of anesthesia, remifentanil and propofol were injected intravenously in the control group, and dexmedetomidine was injected in the observation group on the basis of the control group. The indexes of thromboelastography, preoperative and postoperative cellular immune function, postoperative analgesic effect [Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)], Ramsay sedation score, and postoperative adverse reactions were compared between the two groups at different times.Results:The reaction time of coagulation factor (R) and fibrinogen (K) in the two groups decreased 3 hours after operation, and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05); The maximum thrombus amplitude (MA) of the two groups increased 3 hours after operation, and MA in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Compared with that before operation, the VAS scores and Ramsay sedation scores in the control group and the observation group at 24 h and 48 h after operation were significantly lower (all P<0.05), and the VAS scores and Ramsay sedation scores in the observation group at 24 h and 48 h after operation were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Compared with that before operation, the CD4 +, CD8 +, CD4 + /CD8 + in the control group and the observation group were improved at 6 h and 48 h after operation (all P<0.05), and the improvement in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group at 6 h and 48 h after operation (all P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the control group was 6.67%(4/60), which was slightly higher than that in the observation group of 5.00%(3/60), but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with propofol and remifentanil alone, combined application of dexmedetomidine can help patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer to achieve better analgesic effect, improve the blood coagulation state of patients, and play a better regulatory role on cellular immune function, which is worthy of further promotion in clinic.

8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) is a potent estrogen with high medicinal values. It also serves as an important precursor for many prenylated flavonoids. Microbial synthesis of 8-PN is mainly hindered by the low catalytic activity of prenyltransferases (PTS) and insufficient supply of precursors. In this work, a SfN8DT-1 from Sophora flavescens was used to improve the efficiency of (2S)-naringenin prenylation. The predicted structure of SfN8DT-1 showed that its main body is comprised of 9 α-helices and 8 loops, along with a long side chain formed by nearly 120 amino acids. SfN8DT-1 mutants with different side-chain truncated were tested in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A mutant expressing the truncated enzyme at K62 site, designated as SfND8T-1-t62, produced the highest 8-PN titer. Molecular docking of SfN8DT-1-t62 with (2S)-naringenin and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) showed that K185 was a potentially crucial residue. Alanine scanning within a range of 0.5 nm around these two substrates showed that the mutant K185A may decrease its affinity to substrates, which also indicated K185 was a potentially critical residue. Besides, the mutant K185W enhanced the affinity to ligands implied by the simulated saturation mutation, while the saturated mutation of K185 showed a great decrease in 8-PN production, indicating K185 is vital for the activity of SfN8DT-1. Subsequently, overexpressing the key genes of Mevalonate (MVA) pathway further improved the titer of 8-PN to 31.31 mg/L, which indicated that DMAPP supply is also a limiting factor for 8-PN synthesis. Finally, 44.92 mg/L of 8-PN was produced in a 5 L bioreactor after 120 h, which is the highest 8-PN titer reported to date.
