Aim To investigate the effects of PLCε on the invasion and migration of human osteosarcoma cancer cells U2OS. Methods RNA interference ( RNAi) was used to inhibit PLCεexpression, and the proliferation of cancer cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. The migration of the cells was measured by scratch wound healing assay and migration chamber as-say. Gelatin zymography was performed to measure the MMP2 activities in U2OS cells. Results PLCε ex-pression was suppressed by siRNA. CCK-8 assay showed that PLCε had no effect on the proliferation of cancer cells. PLCε knockdown inhibited cell invasion and activities of MMP2 . Conclusion PLCε knock-down can inhibit the migration and invasion of human osteosarcoma cancer cells U2OS.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in assessing endoscopic re-sectability of early esophagogastric cancer. Methods Data of 65 consecutive cases suspected as having early esophagogastric cancer with EUS and confirmed by pathology after endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscop-ic submucosal dissection within 2 weeks were retrospectively analyzed. The invasion depth of the lesion de-tected by EUS was compared with that from pathology. Results The accuracy of EUS in diagnosis of depth of early cancer invasion was 93.8% (61/65), and the overall accuracy in assessment of endoscopic resectabili-ty was 89. 2%. Conclusion Endoscopic resectability of early esophagogastric cancer can be accurately eval-uated with EUS.

Objective To investigate whether pantoprazole (PPZ), a proton pump inhibitor,could reverse the transmember pH gradient by inhibiting vacuolar H+-ATPase so as to increase the sensitivity of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 to antitumor drugs and to evaluate the optimal time of drug administration, dosage of PPZ and the possible mechanism. Methods Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining were used to determine the expression and intracellular distribution of vacuolar H+-ATPase in human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 with or without PPZ pretreatment. 2', 7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein, acetoxymethyl ester (BCECF-AM) fluorescent probe was used to measure the intracellular pH value of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 which pretreated with different dose and time of PPI. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and annexin V-fluorescent isothiocyanate-propidium iodide double staining were performed to evaluate the cytotoxic effects and apoptosis of cells treated with antitumor drugs combined with PPZ. Adriamycin (ADR) was used as probe to estimate drug accumulation and retention with PPZ pretreatment. Results After 24 hours, the expression of vacuolar H+-ATPase in cells pretreated with PPZ of 10 μg/ml (1.19±0.03) or 100 μg/ml (0. 70±0.03) was significantly lower than that in blank control (1.53±0. 05), but this expression was increased by pretreatment with PPZ of 1 μg/ml (2.29 +0.06, P<0.05). The inhibitory effects of PPZ (10 μg/ml) on vacuolar H+-ATPase was observed at 6 hours (0.32±0.02)and 12 hours (0. 13±0.02). And it could alter the intracellular distribution of vacuolar H+-ATPase at 24-hours. The intracellular pH value in cells pretreated with PPZ of 10 μg/ml (7.44±0. 09 ) or 100 μg/ml (7.31 ± 0. 06) was significantly decreased in comparison with untreated cells (7.51±0.05, P< 0. 01). After administration of anti-tumor drugs, the viability in SGC7901 cells pretreated with PPZ for 24 hours (58.71%±1.18 %) was significantly lower than that in cells untreated with PPZ (74. 33% ± 1.77%, P<0.05), while thetotal and early apoptotic rates in former cells(80.81% ±1. 16% and 77.52 %±1.13 %, respectively) were significantly higher than those in later cells (26. 42%±1.19% and 23. 18% ±0.92%,respectively,P < 0. 01). And the ADR releasing index in cells treated with PPZ (20, 50 and 100 μg/ml) for 24 hours was obviously lower than that in the blank control (0. 164±0. 013, 0. 162±0.015, 0. 152±0. 012 vs 0. 277±0. 011, respectively, P<0. 01). Conclusion The sensitivity of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line to antitumor drugs may be increased by pretreatment with PPZ.

This study was aimed to prepare the spraying agent of prescriptions of Miao nationality herb and investigate the effect of Miao nationality herbs spray for serum SOD, MDA, and expression of Fas and Caspase-3 mRNA in lung tissues of silica-treated rats. The healthy SD rats were divided into 5 groups. Silica dust suspension was used in the model establishment of 4 groups. After the model was successfully established, 3 groups were randomly selected and given glucocorticoids atomization inhalation, Miao nationality herbs spray, Miao nationality herbs spray combined with intragastric administration of herbal medicine, respectively. After 40-day treatment, water-solubletetrazolium salt (WST-1) was used in the detection of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD). Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) was used in the detection of malondialdehyde (MDA). The mRNA expression variance of the Fas and Caspase-3 were detected by RT-PCR. The results showed that compared with the silica dust suspension group, the SOD activity of serum in the Miao nationality herbs spray group was significantly increased (P< 0.05). MDA content and the mRNA of Fas and Caspase-3 were significantly lower in the Miao nationality herbs spray group (P< 0.05). It was concluded that Miao nationality herbs spray group was able to increase the SOD activity of serum, decrease MDA content, and obviously decrease the expression of Fas and Caspase-3 of lung tissues among silica dust suspension rats.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) assisted by smart pluse technology (SPT) for the correction of high myopia.Methods:An observational case series study was conducted.Sixty high myopic patients (107 eyes) with spherical equivalent (SE)≥-6.0 D who received TransPRK assisted by SPT from January to December 2016 in Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were enrolled.Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the patients were examined and recorded in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR) units, and refraction was examined with a subjective refractometer.The healing of corneal epithelium and corneal haze was observed with a slit lamp.Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured with the non-contact tonometer.Safety index (SI) and efficacy index (EI) were analyzed.The follow-up time was 12 months.This study protocol adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (No.2019-197-k-177). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results:The mean epithelial healing time was (3.77±1.02) days.There were statistically significant differences in UCVA and BCVA between before and after surgery ( Z=380.812, 267.313; both at P<0.001). And the 7-day, 6-month, and 12-month postoperative BCVA were better than preoperative BCVA, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). Mean SI was 1.10±0.12, and mean EI was 1.05±0.17 at 12 months after surgery.There was no significant difference between the attempted SE before surgery (-8.02±1.36)D and the achieved SE at 12 months after surgery (-8.04±1.51)D ( P=0.523). SE in the predictive range within ±0.50 D accounted for 79% (85/107) and that within ±1.0 D accounted for 92% (98/107). The IOP was slightly increased in 3 eyes at 7 days and 7 eyes at 1 month after surgery, respectively, which returned to normal after the use of ophthalmic solution for lowing IOP.The incidence of haze severer than grade 1 was less than 1% (1 eye), and haze gradually disappeared after application of drugs. Conclusions:TransPRK assisted by SPT for high myopia shows good safety, effectiveness and predictability.It is an ideal corneal surface surgery to correct high myopia.

Lung cancer is the most common malignancy in the world and the leading cause of cancer death. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) refers to the NSCLC caused by mutation, amplification or overexpression of the HER2 gene, resulting in its dysfunction. HER2 is the most active receptor in the HER family and can combine with other members to form dimers, which can activate multiple signaling pathways and regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. In NSCLC, HER2 positivity is usually considered a poor prognostic marker. At present, the diagnosis and treatment of HER2-positive NSCLC are not mature. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), next generation sequencing (NGS) and other technologies are often used to detect the positive status of HER2 mutation, amplification or overexpression. In previous studies, antitumor drugs did not show ideal therapeutic effects in HER2-positive NSCLC. However, in recent years, related researches have shown that antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and new tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in targeted therapy show good antitumor activity against HER2 positive NSCLC. This article summarized the progress in diagnosis and treatment of HER2-positive NSCLC, so as to provide reference for subsequent researches.

Objective: To explore the expression of AGR2 gene in breast cancer as well as to predict its relevant biological functions and molecular signaling pathways with bioinformatics tool. Methods: The expression of AGR2 in breast cancer tissues and normal tissues was analyzed in Oncomine and GEPIA databases, and the expression of AGR2 in breast cancer cell lines was evaluated in CCLE database. Meanwhile, HPA database was used to analyze the expression of AGR2 protein in normal and breast cancer tissues. Besides, the gene expression microarray data download from CCLE database was analyzed by using R software to obtain genes co-expressed withAGR2. Functional annotation ofAGR2 co-expressed genes was performed by using GO Enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses. Results: Oncomine and GEPIA databases showed that AGR2 gene was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues, and CCLE database analysis showed that AGR2 was highly expressed in all breast cancer cell lines. Immunohistochemistry results from the HPA database showed that the expression of AGR2 protein was significantly higher in breast cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. A total of 946 genes co-expressed with AGR2 in breast cancer were screened out with the R software. With the GO function Enrichment analysis, the co-expressed genes were demonstrated to be mainly involved in biological functions, such as protein localization to cell periphery, protein localization to plasma membrane, cell junction assembly, cell-substrate adhesion, and cell junction organization etc. In addition, the KEGG analysis results showed that co-expressed genes were mainly involved in the progression of gastric cancer and breast cancer, and were associated with proteoglycans in cancer, as well as proline, leucine and isoleucine degradation pathways. Conclusions:AGR2 is highly expressed in breast cancer tissues, which may be a potential oncogenic gene and a new therapeutic target of breast cancer.

AIM: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of using the cross-positioning method for correcting low and moderate astigmatism during small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)surgery with Alpins vector analysis.METHODS: A total of 50 patients(81 eyes)with low and moderate astigmatism with the rule ≤1.50 D who underwent SMILE surgery at the laser myopia treatment center of Xi'an No.1 Hospital from May 2022 to November 2022 were included in the prospective randomized controlled study, and they were divided into two groups according to the random table, with 25 case(41 eyes)in cross-positioning group and 25 cases(40 eyes)in control group. In the cross-positioning group, the patients' head position was adjusted based on the cross intersection lines before the standard SMILE procedure, aligning the lateral canthi with the horizontal line and the midpoint of the eyebrows and the nose bridge with the vertical line. Postoperative visual acuity and refractive results at 3 mo were observed in both groups, and astigmatic changes were analyzed and evaluated using the Alpins vector analysis method.RESULTS: During the follow-up period, 6 cases(11 eyes)in the cross-positioning group were lost to follow-up, while in the control group, 8 cases(14 eyes)were lost to follow-up, with 19 cases(30 eyes)and 17 cases(26 eyes)finally included in the cross-positioning group and the control group, respectively. At 3 mo postoperatively, the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)of both groups' operated eyes was ≥1.0, and no serious complications occurred, with no significant differences in UCVA, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), spherical power, and spherical equivalent between the cross-positioning group and the control group(all P>0.05). The cylindrical power in the cross-positioning group was 0.00(0.00, 0.00)D, which was lower than -0.13(-0.50, 0.00)D in the control group(P=0.01). The vector analysis results showed that the difference vector(DV)in the cross-positioning group was lower than that in the control group [0.00(0.00, 0.00)vs 0.13(0.00, 0.50), P=0.01], and the index of success(IOS)was better than that of the control group [0.00(0.00, 0.00)vs 0.18(0.00, 0.77), P<0.01]. At 3 mo postoperatively, 26(87%)and 15(58%)eyes in the cross-positioning group and control groups achieved an angle of error(AE)within ±5°, respectively.CONCLUSION: The cross positioning method was used to calibrate the patients' head position during SMILE surgery, which reduced the axial position error and improved the accuracy of SMILE in correcting low and moderate astigmatism.
