Objective To investigate the possibility of utilizing the mixed bacteria liquid and the Escherichia coli ( E.coli) liquid to establish the chronic salpingitis model of New Zealand rabbits, respectively.Methods Taken as the study object, the un-pregnant New Zealand rabbits (4~5 years old) were randomly divided into three groups: the normal group, the mixed bacteria experimental group and the E.coli experimental group.The trans-vaginal intrauterine intubation operation was performed for the injection of the mixed bacteria liquid and the E.coli liquid.Visual observation was to evaluate the gross pathological changes of the salpingitis and the pelvic cavity.HE staining and the light microscope were used to observe the micro-pathological changes of salpingitis.Results On the 15th day after modeling, increased pelvic effusion, dense peritoneal adhesion, interstitial hyperplasia and infiltration of lymphocytes were observed in both experimental groups. Conclusion Through the trans-vaginal intrauterine intubation operation, the chronic salpingitis model of New Zealand rabbits could be successfully established either by using the mixed bacteria liquid or by using the E.coli liquid.

Objective To analyze the expression of SPAG5 in gastric cancer tissues and its regulatory roles in gastric cancer cell growth.Methods TCGA analysis,immunohistochemistry,and immunofluorescence staining were used to analyze the expression patterns of SPAG5 and MKi67 in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues.In gastric cancer AGS and MGC803 cells,the effects of lentivirus-mediated SPAG5 knockdown on cell growth and apoptosis were evaluated using Celigo,MTT,clone formation assays and flow cytometry.Results Proteinatlas and TCGA database analysis suggested that SPAG5 was highly expressed in gastric cancer,and Kaplan-Meier analysis and GEPIA analysis showed high expressions of SPAG 5 in lung adenocarcinoma,breast cancer,hepatocellular carcinoma,pancreatic carcinoma,cervical cancer and bladder carcinoma.Immunohistochemistry revealed that SPAG5 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues(P<0.001),and immunofluorescence colocalization analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between SPAG5 and MKI67(R=0.393,P<0.001).RT-qPCR and Western blotting showed that SPAG5 was highly expressed in MKN74,BGC823,MGC803,SGC7901 and AGS cells.In AGS and MGC803 cells,SPAG5 knockdown significantly inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis.Conclusions The expressions of SPAG5 and MKi67 are correlated in gastric cancer tissues,and SPAG5 knockdown inhibits the proliferation of gastric cancer cells.SPAG5 is associated with the prognosis of gastric cancer patients and may serve as a promising biomarker for gastric cancer.
