In order to screen the genes differentially expressed in two human prostate cancer cells with different metastasis potentials, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was done twice on human prostate cancer cell line with high potential of metastasis PC3M-1E8 and its synogenetic cell line PC3M-2B4 with low metastasis potential. In the first subtraction PC3M-2B4 was used as tester and PC3M-1E8 as driver and the forward subtractive library was constructed. In the second on the tester and driver were interchanged and the reverse subtractive library was constructed. The screened clones of both libraries were sequenced and Gene Bank homology search was performed. Some clones were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR. The results showed that two subtractive libraries containing 238 positive clones were constructed. Analysis of 16 sequenced clones randomly picked from two libraries showed that 4 differentially expressed gene fragments were identified as new EST with unknown functions. It was concluded that two subtractive libraries of human prostate cancer cell lines with different metastasis potentials were constructed successfully.

Objective:To evaluate the usefulness of fast FLAIR pulse sequence in the MRI of intraspinal canal disease.Methods:Forty-four patients with suspected intraspinal canal disease were imaged with fast FLAIR pulse sequence after routine T1 and T2 weighted imaging in a 0.5 T superconducting MR scaner.The parameters of FLAIR were TR/TI/TE=6000/1500～2000/90～120 ms.Results:There were 26 intraspinal extramedullary tumors,4 intramedullary tumors,11 myelitis,3 localized ischemic necrosis or malacia of spinal cord.The images of FLAIR pulse sequence clearly detected all lesions of the 44 cases.They were superior to routine T2 weighted images in demonstrating the extent of the lesions and their T2 signal character,expecially in inflammatory disease of spinal cord.Conclusion:FLARI is a very useful pulse sequence in the MRI of intraspinal canal disease,it may be use as an important supplement of routine T2 weighted sequence.

Objective To analyze the curative effect of teprenone capsule combined with quadruple therapy in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis.Methods From June 2013 to June 2017,one hundred and fifty patients with chronic atrophic gastritis admitted to the First Hospital of Ninghai County were retrospectively selected.According to different treatment schemes,they were divided into control group and observation group,with 75 patients in each group.The control group was treated with routine quadruple therapy, and the observation group was treated with teprenone capsule combined with quadruple therapy.The effective rate of the two groups was compared.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 97.33% ,which was higher than 85.33% of the control group,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ2 =3.197,P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor - alpha in the observation group were ( 7.04 ± 1.03 ) ng/L, ( 41.02 ± 1.72)ng/L,respectively,which in the control group were (10.81 ± 1.63)ng/L,(57.35 ± 2.95) ng/L,respectively, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t=6.028,7.281,all P <0.05).The gastric mucosa score and the gastrin concentration in the observation group were (1.13 ± 0.32)points,(8.97 ± 2.33)pmol/L, respectively,which in the control group were ( 1. 82 ± 0. 61 ) points, ( 5. 36 ± 1. 52 ) pmol/L, respectively, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t =5. 661, 6. 024, all P <0. 05 ). Conclusion Teprenone capsule combined with quadruple therapy can improve the clinical efficacy and reduce the degree of inflammation in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis,which is worthy of clinical application.

Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1 MMP/MMP 14) plays crucial roles in tumor cell growth, invasion, and angiogenesis. To clarify whether the endogenously expressed MT1-MMP in metastatic human ovarian carcinoma cell lines SKOV3 plays a critical role in tumor cell invasiveness, antisense MT1-MMP cloned in eukaryotic expression vector pMMP14as was transferred into SKOV3 cells. 48h after transfection, decreased expression of endogenous MT1-MMP protein was detected in pMMP14as transfected SKOV3 cells and the activation of pro MMP2was inhibited markedly. The mean percentage of invasive cells was (62. 50 ±5. 30) % in pMMP14as-transfected cells, which was obviously less than that (97.20±6.90) % in the control.Thus, antisense MT1 MMP effectively inhibited the endogenous MT1 MMP expression and the invasiveness in SKOV3 cells, suggesting that MT1-MMP may be a therapeutic target molecule for human invasive ovarian cancers.

Objective:To investigate the effects of breast milk to total milk intake ratio during hospitalization on the duration of antibiotic therapy in preterm infants less than 34 weeks of gestation.Methods:Clinical data of preterm infants ( n=1 792) less than 34 gestational weeks were retrospectively collected in 16 hospitals of Jiangsu Province Neonatal-Perinatal Cooperation Network from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021. The days of therapy (DOT) were used to evaluate the duration of antibiotic administration. The median DOT was 15.0 d (7.0-27.0 d). The patients were divided into four groups based on the quartiles of DOT: Q 1 (DOT≤7.0 d), Q 2 (7.0 d27.0 d) groups. According to the breast milk intake ratio (breast milk intake to total milk intake during hospitalization×100%), they were also divided into four groups: very-low-ratio breastfeeding group (breast milk intake ratio≤25%), low-ratio breastfeeding group (25%75%). Univariate analysis ( Chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test) was used to analyze the factors influencing DOT. Spearman correlation analysis and trend Chi-square test were used to explore the relationship between breast milk intake ratio and DOT. After using multiple imputations to address missing data, two models were constructed after adjusting for different factors, and multinomial logistic regression model was applied to evaluate the effects of the breast milk intake ratio on DOT. Finally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the stability of the models. Results:(1) Of the 1 792 preterm infants, there were 507 (28.3%) in the Q 1 group, 422 (23.5%) in the Q 2 group, 438 (24.4%) in the Q 3 group and 425 (23.7%) in the Q 4 group. (2) The median values of DOT in the very-low-ratio, low-ratio, medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding groups were 20.0 d (11.0-31.0 d), 20.0 d (11.0-32.0 d), 13.0 d (6.0-25.8 d) and 10.0 d (4.0-21.0 d), respectively. Compared with the very-low-ratio and low-ratio breastfeeding groups, the medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding groups had shorter DOT (all P<0.05). (3) After adjusting for factors with P<0.1 (prenatal glucocorticoid exposure, antimicrobial use within 24 h before delivery, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, Apgar score≤7 at 1 min, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, infectious pneumonia and early-onset neonatal sepsis) between the DOT quartile groups, it showed that medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding were protective factors in contrast to very-low-ratio breastfeeding in the Q 2, Q 3 and Q 4 groups as compared with the Q 1 group [Q 2 group: OR=0.50 (95% CI: 0.30-0.85) and OR=0.36 (95% CI: 0.26-0.51); Q 3 group: OR=0.31 (95% CI: 0.18-0.55) and OR=0.20 (95% CI: 0.14-0.29); Q 4 group: OR=0.22 (95% CI: 0.12-0.42) and OR=0.17 (95% CI: 0.12-0.26)]. Conclusion:Breast milk intake accounting for over 50% of total milk intake has a positive impact on reducing DOT in premature infants requiring antibiotics, which suggests that breastfeeding should be actively encouraged.
