This study investigated the expression and prognostic value of SHP-2 in cervical cancer caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Forty-five specimens from patients with cervical cancer (stage I-III), 32 specimens from patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) (I, II) and 20 normal cervical samples from patients with hysteromyoma were collected in Department of Pathology for comparison. The expression levels of SHP-2 and IFN-β proteins were detected by using immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression level of SHP-2 was detected by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). HPVs were detected by HPV GenoArray Test. The Spearman correlation was used to compare the expression level of SHP-2 in HPV infected cervical cancer vs non-HPV infected normal cervix. The level of SHP-2 protein expression in the cancer tissues (88.8%) was significantly higher than in CIN tissues (62.5%) and normal cervixes (45%) (P<0.05 and P<0.05, respectively). The SHP-2 mRNA levels in the cancer tissues were upregulated as compared with those in the normal cervixes (P<0.05). Twenty-one (46.7%) cervical cancers, 25 (78.1%) CINs and 17 (85%) normal cervixes showed IFN-β positive staining in cytoplasm. There was statistically significant difference in the expression rate of IFN-β between cervical cancer and normal cervix (χ (2)=8.378, P<0.05) as well as between cervical cancer and CIN (χ (2)=7.695, P<0.05). HPV16/18 infections could be found in normal cervixs (15%), CINs (68.7%) and cervical cancers (84.4%). There was a correlation between HPV infection and SHP-2 expression in cervical cancer (r (s)=0.653, P<0.05). SHP-2 may be a useful prognostic and diagnostic indicator for HPV infected cervical cancer. In cervical cancers, SHP-2 mRNA and protein overexpression was associated with IFN-β lower-expression.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of conventional 2940 nm Er∶YAG laser and pixel laser combination therapy.Methods From Jan.2010 to Jun.2013,32 cases of different types of superficial scars had been treated with this combination therapy.All patients were treated with the low-power 2940 nm Er∶YAG laser,and then immediately with pixel laser at higher power.The morphological changes of the scar before and after treatment,and adverse reaction were recorded.The satisfaction of patients was collected.Results Based on imaging data,significant efficacy was achieved in 14 cases (43.8％),effective in 12 cases (37.5％),relatively effective in 5 cases (15.6％) and ineffective in 1 case (3.1 ％).The total efficacy rate of combined therapy reached 95.3 ％.Very satisfaction to the treatment was 13 cases (40.6％),satisfaction in 10 cases (31.2％),relative satisfaction in 7 cases (21.9％) and no satisfaction in 2 cases (6.3％).The total satisfactory rate reached 93.8％.The only observed side effect was the erythema reaction at irradiated area.Conclusions The combined therapy of conventional 2940 nm Er∶YAG laser and pixel laser is an uncomplicated and safe way to treat superficial scars with little reverse reaction.

To explore the correlation between nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count and perinatal asphyxia in neonates.Full-term newborns born from May 2011 to November 2012 were recruited and divided into perinatal asphyxia (n =40) and normal (n =30) groups.Apgar score was recorded immediately at delivery.The umbilical arterial blood was also collected into anticoagulant-treated tube and NRBC was counted by Japan OlympusCX41 biological microscope.NRBC count for perinatal asphyxia group [(10.70 ± 2.61)/100 WBC] was significant higher than that for normal group [(2.67 ± 0.35)/100 WBC].A statistically significant negative correlation existed between NRBC and umbilical arterial blood pH,Apgar score at 1 min,BE value (r =-0.802,P ＜ 0.05 ; r =-0.639,P ＜ 0.05 ; r =-0.566,P ＜ 0.05).Associated with perinatal asphyxia in neonates,NRBC may be used as a simple index for assessing the severity of neonatal perinatal asphyxia.

ObjectivecircRNAs play an important role in tumor development, but the relationship between circRNAs and hepatocellular carcinoma remains to be further explored. The present study aimed to bioinformatically analyze the target gene of microRNA-1. Another aim was to screen circRNAs that are associated with target genes and differentially expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, as well as provide theoretical basis for clinical screening of molecular markers and targeted therapies related to hepatocellular carcinoma.MethodsThe miRNA related database used for the prediction of microRNA-1 target genes, and the bioinformatic analysis of the target genes of microRNA-1 involved functional enrichment analysis and signal transduction pathway enrichment. Then, the circRNAs, which are related to the downstream target genes of microRNA-1, are screened through the circRNA database.ResultsThe number of microRNA-1 target genes was 230 in miRNA related database. Through GO analysis, it was found that the target genes of microRNA-1 had a strong tendency in regulation, and were mainly enriched in three aspects: biological function, biological process and cell localization.The target genes of microRNA-1 are involved in the function of proteins, regulation of biosynthesis, cofactor binding, enzyme regulation and other biological processes. Predicted target genes of miRNA-1 were significantly enriched in cancer signaling pathways, hepatitis B occurrence, endocytosis and splicing pathways. Further, 21 circRNAs related to the target gene of microRNA-1 were found in three circRNA databases, wherein hsa_circ_0004651 was highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 and its pavent gene was hnRNPD.ConclusionMicroRNA-1 influence the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma development through the regulation of protein and enzyme. Hsa_circ_0004651 may affect the development of hepatocellular carcinoma with microRNA-1 and its parental gene hnRNPD.

Objective To study the predictive values of the general movements (GMs) assessment in writhing stage for motor development outcomes in infants with severe neonatal jaundice.Method From December of 2012 to December of 2017,infants with severe neonatal jaundice (serum bilirubin reaching the corresponding level of exchange transfusion according to the reference nomogram) in our hospital were enrolled in the study.Inclusion criteria included corrected gestational age of 37 to 48 weeks,serum bilirubin level below phototherapy intervention value after treatment and general and detailed assessment were carried out in writhing stage when the infant was stable.The patients were regularly followed-up until one-year-old to evaluate the predictive values.Result A total of 241 patients with severe neonatal jaundice were enrolled in the study,including 153 males (63.5％) and 88 females (36.5％),with gestational age between 35 and 42 weeks.The mean gestational age was (37.9± 1.8) weeks,the average birth weight was (3 057±480) g,and the mean serum bilirubin value was (458.9± 119.1) μmol/L.The general evaluation of the GMs was normal in 15 cases (6.2％),and abnormal in 226 cases (93.8％) with 217 cases (90.0％) were poor repertoire (PR) and 9 cases (3.7％) were cramped-synchronized (CS).The predictive values of abnormal GMs for abnormal motor development outcomes were as following:sensitivity 100％,specificity 7.6％,negative predictive value(NPV) 100％.The predictive values of CS for cerebral palsy were as following:sensitivity 22.2％,specificity 97.8％,NPV 94.0％.Detailed evaluation of 241 subjects showed that 13 items had statistically significant differences in the prediction of cerebral palsy (P＜0.05),and 18 items in the prediction of abnormal motor development (P＜0.05).Conclusion The CS pattern and detailed assessment of GMs in the writhing stage may be correlated with the outcomes of motor development in infants with severe neonatal jaundice until one-year-old.
