Objective In order to investigate the ability of flow cytometer (FCM) to diagnose malignant tumor and evaluate prognosis of tumors in salivary glands, the DNA ploidy and cell cycle had been analysed and the association of these parameters with histologic grades, lymph node metastasis were studied. Methods The fresh tissues of benign tumor, mixed tumor and malignant tumor were detected by FCM. Results DNA aneuploid has not been detected in benign tumors; 44 cases of mixed tumor has been detected with DNA aneuploid nd with high SPF; it suggests that these cases have malignant trend; most of malignant tumor were detected with high aneuploid. DI was not correlated with lymph node metastases, but correlated with histologic grades (P

Objective: To investigate the trends in prevalence of depression symptoms among middle-aged and elderly residents at ages of 45 years and older in China from 2011 to 2018, so as to provide insights into depression prevention and control among middle-aged and elderly residents. Methods: Demographic features and evaluation data of depressive symptoms were collected from middle-aged and elderly residents at ages of 45 years and older recorded during four follow-ups in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), and the depressive symptoms were screened using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Following sampling weights, non-response weights, and post-stratification weighting, the detection of depressive symptoms was analyzed among the middle-aged and elderly residents with different demographics, and the trends in prevalence of depressive symptoms were identified using annual percent change (APC). Results: A total of 48 223 middle-aged and elderly residents were enrolled, including 12 624, 10 427, 12 144, and 13 028 residents in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2018, with mean ages of (58.8±9.4), (58.9±9.2), (59.0±9.2), and (61.1±9.2) years, respectively. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 34.5% (95%CI: 33.3%-35.8%), 29.6% (95%CI: 28.5%- 30.8%), 30.6% (95%CI: 29.4%-31.8%), and 35.0% (95%CI: 33.6%-36.4%) among middle-aged and elderly residents in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2018, respectively, with no remarkable changing trends seen (APC=0.4%, t=0.188, P=0.868). Higher detection was seen among residents at advanced ages, among women than among men, among rural residents than among urban residents, among residents with lower educational levels, among widowed and unmarried residents than among married residents, among unemployed residents than among employees, and among residents that had lower per capita personal consumption expenditures than mean expenditures than among residents that had higher per capita personal consumption expenditures than mean expenditures (all P<0.05). Conclusions There were no obvious trends in prevalence of depressive symptoms among middle-aged and elderly residents in China from 2011 to 2018, and individuals with advanced ages, women, urban residents and those with low educational and economic levels should be given a high priority for depression control.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of familial moyamoya disease in China. Methods The patients w ith familial moyamoya disease admitted to the department of Neurosurgery, the 307th Hospital of PLA from March 2009 to June 2012 w ere analyzed retrospectively. Results Of 1 108 patients w ith moyamoya disease admitted to the department of Neurosurgery, the 307th Hospital of PLA, 87 patients (7.8%) w ith familial moyamoya disease w ere identified. Familial moyamoya disease w as observed both in the Han nationality and the minority nationalities. The male to female ratio w as 1∶1.02. The age at first onset ranged from 8 months to 59 years. There w ere tw o peak ages -of-onset, 5-9 years and 30-34 years, respectively). The most common initial symptom w as cerebral ischemia (74 .7%). The first degree relatives w ere the most affected in patients w ith familial moyamoya disease (78/87, 89 .66%), in w hich the siblings accounted for most of the disease ( 38/78, 48.72%), and the proportions of mother-to-child inheritance (21/78, 26.92%) and father-to-child inheritance ( 19/78, 24.36%) w ere similar. Conclusions There are tw o peak ages-of-onset, cerebral ischemia is the most common initial symptom, the first degree relatives are the most affected in patients w ith familial moyamoya disease in China.

Objective To analyze the genetic changes in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and to find the key molecular aberrations underlying its pathogenesis. Methods A total of 37 cases of PTCL-NOS were investigated by 1Mb resolution array comparative genomic hybridisation (Array-CGH), in which 9 cases were further studied by using a Tile path array-CGH. DNA extraction, clonality analysis and histologic review were conducted to exclude 6 cases with polyploidy and without obvious genetic imbalances from this study. Results In general, there was a considerable overlap in the CGH profiles in many PTCL-NOS cases. The most recurrent regions of genomic gains were lp36.13-1p36.32, 7q22.1, 7q36.1-7q36.3, 7q32.1-7q32.3, 7q22.1-7q34,9p11 .2-9q12 and 9q33.3-9q34.3. The most recurrent regions of genomic losses were 1p12-1p21.1 and 13q14.11-13q14.3. Conclusion Genomic gains and losses are frequently identified in PTCL-NOS with array-CGH, in which patients with multiple chromosomal alterations (≥6regions) have poor prognosis. These genomic profiles are broadly important to reveal a distinct subgroup with genetic alterations and to find the key genomic imbalance of PTCL-NOS.

BACKGROUND: Studies have indicated that the abnormal expression of TACC3 is closely related to the occurrence and development of many kinds of tumors, and the expression of TACC3 is up-regulated in these tumors. Therefore, in vitro specific inhibition of TACC3 expression may become an important target for the treatment or intervention of tumor growth.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism by which TACC3 gene expression regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.METHODS: CD133+CD44+ oral squamous cell carcinoma cells were sorted from human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line Cal-27 by immunomagnetic beads. In experimental group, the shRNA sequence of TACC3 was designed and synthesized, which was then trasnfected into CD133+CD44+ oral cancer stem cells by LipofectamineTM 2000. Empty vector-trasnfected (negative control) and untransfected cells were used as callsed. Forty-eight hours after the transfection, effects of TACC3 gene silencing on proliferation and apoptosis in vitro in CD133+CD44+ oral squamous cell carcinoma were detected by MTT, clone formation test, and TUNEL assay. Western blot assay was used to detect the effect of TACC3 gene silencing on Ki67, Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression in CD133+CD44+ oral squamous cell carcinoma.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Cell proliferation. The proliferation rate and expression level of Ki67 were significantly lower in the experimental group than the negative control and untransfected groups (P < 0.05). (2) Clone formation. The clone formation ability in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the negative control and untransfected groups (P < 0.05). (3) Cell apoptosis. TACC3 gene silencing caused an obvious decrease in Bcl-2 protein expression and a significant increase in Bax protein expression. These findings further confirmed that specific interference of TACC3 gene expression could inhibit the proliferation of CD133+CD44+ cells and promote the apoptosis.
