Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an advanced technology to study the transcriptome information at the single cell level. The application of this technology can attribute to analyze the heterogeneous map of cells in the process of disease development, and precisely identify the specific cell subsets that are responsive to pharmacological therapy. Currently, scRNA-seq technology has been widely applied in the field of drug research, including studies on therapeutic targets, drug-induced adverse reactions, drug resistance and vaccine. This work reviews the application of scRNA-seq technology in drug discovery, which offers a scientific basis for personalized and accurate medication therapy.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathologic features of desmoplastic fibroma of bone (DF).Methods The clinical and pathologic profiles of 7 cases were retrospectively analyzed.Results Desmoplastic fibroma of bone was a rare neoplasm of bone,which typically occurred in young children and adolescents.The tumor showed infiltrative and locally aggressive nature,the most common sites were long tubular bones and mandible.Microscopically,the tumor was composed of sparse fibroblasts in a rich background of collagen fibers.Immunohistochemically,the tumor cells were positive for vimentin and SMA.Conclusion Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare,locally aggressive fibroblasticlesion of bone.It can make an accurate diagnosis by integrating the clinical location with histopathological features.Trauma,hormone and horomosome aberration may be related with its pathogenesis.

Objective:To study the influence of Wnt5a gene silence on the proliferation,migration and invasion of lung squamous carcinoma cells.Methods:A recombinant plasmid pHI-siRNA~(Wnt5a-)was constructed and used to deliver small interference RNA (siRNA)targeting Wnt5a in SK-MES-1 cells;the transfected cells were screened to establish a stable transgenic cell line.MTT,cell cycle and Transwell assays were employed to evaluate the effect of Wnt5a gene silence on the proliferation,migration and invasion of lung squamous carcinoma cells.Results:Western blotting assay revealed that Wnt5a was lowly expressed in SK-MES-1~(Wnt5a-)(13.6%).The proliferation index(PI)of transgenic cell line was slightly lower than that of the control cell line([28.3?3.8]% vs[30.5?5.2]%). The migration and invasion capabilities of SK-MES-1~(Wnt5a-)cells were(47.3?9.2)% and(39.7?11.7)% of the control cells, respectively.Conclusion:Low Wnt5a expression can significantly inhibit the migration and invasion capabilities of SK-MES-1 cells, indicating that Wnt5a might be a potential target for gene therapy of lung squamous carcinoma.

This study was aimed to evaluate the feasibility of wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe community-acquired pneumonia, CAP) from the clinical curative effect, hospitalization days, medical expenses and other aspects. This study selected 198 wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP) inpatients from January, 2012 to December, 2012 with the conventional therapy in the Respiratory Department, Wuhan Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) & Western Medicine Hospital as the control group. And another 179 wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP) inpatients were selected from January, 2013 to December, 2013 with the TCM clinical pathway treatment in the Respiratory Department of the same hospital as the treatment group. Retrospective analysis was used to compare the clinical curative effects, hospitalization days, and medical cost differences. The results showed that TCM clinical pathway for wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP) can shorten the hospitalization days and reduce patients’ medical costs, and ensure the clinical curative effects. It was concluded that the standardized TCM clinical pathway had positive effect on wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP). Therefore, the formulation and implementation of TCM clinical pathway was of great significance in the treatment of wind-warm lung-heat disease (non-severe CAP).

Objective To investigate the effect of fatty acid binding protein 4(FABP4)DNA methylation on abnormal lipid metabolism in placental trophoblastic dyslipidemia. Methods Human placental trophoblast cell line(HTR-8)was treated with L-NAME of 100 μmol/L for 48 h. The lipid content in placental trophoblasts was detected by chemical enzyme-colorimetry. The FABP4 DNA methylation level in placenta trophoblasts was detected by nested-touch down methylation specific PCR (NT-MSP). the mRNA and protein expression of DNMT1 and FABP4 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western Blot,respectively,in trophoblast cells. Results The lipid content in trophoblasts significantly increased as compared with the control(P < 0.05). Expression of FABP4 mRNA and protein increased(P < 0.05),while FABP4 methylation level and expression of DNMT1 significantly decreased (P<0.05)after treatment with L-NAME. Conclusions FABP4 DNA methylation is involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism in placental trophoblastic cells of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.

Objective To evaluate the b value of diffusion-weighted(DW)MRI in distinguishing between benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods Three diffusion-weighted sequences were implemented with 500,1000 and 2000 s/mm~2 b values respectively on 95 breast lesions in 83 patients.All lesions were confirmed by pathology.The apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values and signal intensity (SI)were recorded and compared in different lesions(breast cancer,benign lesion,cyst and normal beast tissue)with the same b value and the same lesions with the different b values.Results(1)The mean ADC value and SI of breast cancer were 1.375?0.378 and 839.713?360.493 respectively with b= 500 s/mm~2,1.176?0.311 and 459.314?229.609 with b=1000 s/mm~2,0.824?0.198 and 243.825? 110.616 with b=2000 s/mm~2.The differences in the mean ADC value were significant between two type lesions(cancer and benign lesion,cancer and cyst,cancer and normal breast tissue)with b values of 500 s/mm~2 and 1000 s/mm~2.But the significant differenee was only seen between cancer and benign lesions when b value was 2000 s/mm~2.(2)The one-side upper limits of 95% confidence interval of mean ADCs were adopted as the point to separate the malignant from the benign lesions,the sensitivity was 70.92%, 70.73% and 69.77%,the specificity was 77.19%,75.70% and 54.76%,the accuracy was 77.12%, 74.32% and 62.35% respectively with b values of 500 s/mm~2,1000 s/mm~2 and 2000 s/mm~2.The areas under ROC eurves were Az_(500)=0.775?0.046(P0.05).Conclusion DWI MRI is useful for the differential diagnosis of breast lesions with b values of 500 s/mm~2 and 1000 s/mm~2.

Objective To evaluate the indications and intraoperative management of nephron-spar- ing surgery (NSS) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Methods A total of 53 patients (32 men and 21 women;age range,21 -76 years) with unilateral RCC and a normal contralateral kidney underwent NSS.The disease course ranged from 1 week to 13 months.The unilateral RCCs were detected by B-uhrasonography. Partial nephrectomy was performed on 38 cases of polar RCC and wedge nephrectomy was performed on 15 cases of central RCC.Both renal vein and artery were blocked for 10 - 15 min,and unclamped for 1 -2 min if necessary.The resections were finished within 7 -21 min (mean,12 min).No inosine and regional hypo- thermia were used during operation.Absorbable hemostatic gauze and terylene flake were used to suture renal wound surface.After operation all patients were treated with interferon hypodermic injection of 5 000 000 U every other day for 3 months.Results The diagnosis of RCC with negative cutting margin was confirmed by pathological examination in all patients.The greatest dimension of the renal cancers were＜4 cm except for one of 6 cm.The clinical stage was T_1N_0M_0 in all patients.During the follow-up of 6 -48 months,all pa- tients were alive without recurrence and had normal renal function.Conclusions NSS can be rapidly per- formed for T_1 stage renal cancer＜4 cm or single clearly localized cancer＞4 cm in diameter.The follow-up results are satisfactory.
