ObjectiveTo approach the regulatory mechanism of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) on the expression of E-selectin in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC).Methods Homeobox A9 (HOXA9) siRNA was transfected to HUVEC at logarithmic phase, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time qPCR) and Western Blot were used to determine the HOXA9 mRNA expression and protein expressions; a blank control group and a nonsilence negative control group were set. HUVEC stable transfected with pRNA-u6.1/Neo-HMGB1 shRNA plasmids (HUVEC with low-expression HMGB1) was obtained, and HOXA9 and E-selectin mRNA expressions were determined with real-time qPCR; a nonsilence transfection group served as the negative control. The HOXA9 siRNA was transfected to HUVEC with low-expression HMGB1 as co-transfection group, and the E-selectin expressions was determined with real-time qPCR; a HMGB1 shRNA group and a HOXA9 nonsilence group served as control.Results① HOXA9 mRNA (2-ΔΔCT) and protein expression (integralA value) in blank control group were 1.094±0.115 and 1.031±0.060. Compared with nonsilence transfection group, HOXA9 siRNA transfection group could significantly reduced mRNA and protein expression of HOXA9 [HOXA9 mRNA (2-ΔΔCT): 0.257±0.030 vs. 1.035±0.091,t = 14.010,P = 0.002; HOXA9 protein (integralA value): 0.278±0.042 vs. 0.975±0.014,t = 27.310, P = 0.002].② Compared with nonsilence transfection group, HMGB1 shRNA transfection could up-regulate HOXA9 mRNA expression in HUVEC (2-ΔΔCT: 2.519±0.278 vs. 0.856±0.063,t = 10.100,P = 0.001), also could down-regulate E-selectin mRNA expression (0.311±0.046 vs. 1.080±0.201,t = 7.415,P = 0.000).③ Compared with HOXA9 nonsilence group and HMGB1 shRNA group, HMGB1 shRNA and HOXA9 siRNA co-transfected HUVEC cells could significantly elevate E-selectin mRNA expression (2-ΔΔCT: 3.445±0.428 vs. 1.085±0.212, 1.004±0.104,t1 = 8.507, t2 = 9.603, bothP< 0.001).Conclusion HMGB1 may regulate E-selectin expression through the HOXA9 regulation in HUVEC.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase-12 (ADAM-12), and friend leukemia virus integration-1 (FLI-1) in small cell lung cancer tissue.Methods:Eighty-two patients with small cell lung cancer who received treatment in Haiyang People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were included in this study. All patients underwent radical surgical resection. Small cell lung cancer tissues and adjacent tissues more than 2 cm from the edge of cancer tissues were harvested. The positive expression rates of SSTR2, ADAM-12, and FLI-1 in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between SSTR2, ADAM-12, FLI-1, and clinical characteristics were analyzed. The 1-year survival rate of patients with small cell lung cancer was calculated.Results:The positive rates of SSTR2, ADAM-12, and FLI-1 in small cell lung cancer tissue were 79.27% (65/82), 76.83% (63/82), and 78.05% (64/82), respectively, which were significantly higher than 19.51% (16/82), 17.07% (14/82), 20.73% (17/82) in the adjacent tissue ( χ2 = 58.57, 58.78, 53.90, all P < 0.05). SSTR2, ADAM-12, and FLI-1 were positively associated with lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, tissue invasion, tumor size, and histological grade (all P < 0.05). After controlling for gender, age, and others, SSTR2, ADAM-12, and FLI-1 were associated with lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, tissue invasion, tumor size, and histological grade (all P < 0.05). All patients were followed up for 1 year. Six patients were lost to follow-up. The 1-year survival rate of 76 patients with small cell lung cancer was 67.11% (51/76). The survival rate of patients with positive SSTR2, ADAM-12, and FLI-1 expression were lower than that of patients with negative SSTR2, ADAM-12, and FLI-1 expression ( χ2 = 3.93, 6.43, 7.52, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:SSTR2, ADAM-12, and FLI-1 are highly expressed in small cell lung cancer tissue. Combined detection of SSTR2, ADAM-12, and FLI-1 is conducive to the prognosis and evaluation of small cell lung cancer in patients. This study is innovative and scientific.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of implant placement in the edentulous jaw using computer planning and fully-guided mucosa-supported surgical template by Simplant software. Methods: 63 implants were placed in 9 patients (11 fully edentulous jaws), 26 implants were placed in upper edentulous jaw and 37 implants in lower edentulous jaw. Preoperatively, first, a cone beam CT was required for patients with radiographic template and radiographic template respectively. Therefore, the data of CBCT was inputted in Simplant software by DICOM format, followed by virtual implant planning. Hereafter, a mucosa-supported surgical template was designed by dentist and made by Masterilise company to allow implant placement using the template as a guide. To investigate the accuracy of implant placement, a postoperative CBCT scan was obtained and matched to the preoperative scan. The accuracy of implant placement was validated three-dimensionally including divations of implant shoulder, apical point, axial angulation and depth. Results: The survival rate of 63 implamts for a 6 month to 10 year observation period was 100%. The mean divation of implant shoulder was 0.73 ± 0.53 mm, implant apical point was 1.15 ± 0.62 mm, implant depth was 0.95 ± 0.64 mm and implant axial angulationwas 4.10 ° ± 3.23°. Conclusion Divation between virtual and actual implant was existed and it should be considered preoperatively when virtual implant was planned to avoid injuring anatomic structure and keeping surgery safely. Correct manipulation during implant operation are helpful to decrease the divation of implant placement.

COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread throughout the world. China has achieved rapid containment of this highly infectious disease following the principles of early detection, early quarantine and early treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The inclusion of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the Chinese protocol is based on its successful historic experience in fighting against pestilence. Current findings have shown that the Chinese medicine can reduce the incidence of severe or critical events, improve clinical recovery and help alleviate symptoms such as cough or fever. To date there are over 133 ongoing registered clinical studies on TCM/integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The three Chinese patent medicines (/ (Forsythiae and Honeysuckle Flower Pestilence-Clearing Granules/Capsules), (Honeysuckle Flower Cold-Relieving Granules) and (Stasis-Resolving & Toxin-Removing) were officially approved by the National Medical Products Administration to list COVID-19 as an additional indication. The pharmacological studies have suggested that Chinese medicine is effective for COVID-19 probably through its host-directed regulation and certain antiviral effects.
