Objective: To observe relation among sICAM-1 level in the sera of patients with chronic viral hepatic disease, viral replication and the clinical significance. Methods: The level changes of sICAM-1, IL-1,IL-8 and TNFa in the sera of patients with chronic hepatitis B(CH),chronic severe hepatitis B(CSH) and hepatocirrhosis (HC) were detected by ELISA. Results: The levels of sICAM-1,IL-1,IL-8 and TNFa in sera of the patients with chronic viral hepatic disease were significantly higher than those of healthy control group(P<0.01). The bilirubin level in the sera of patients with chronic viral hepatic disease of different clinical types positively correlated with sICAM-1 and cytokine activities. The sICAM-1 level in the sera of HBV-DNA or HBeAg positive patients was significantly higher than those of negative patients(P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion: The sICAM-1 level and activities of cytokine IL-1,IL-8 and TNFa as well as the bilirubin level in the sera of the patients can reflect the necrosis degree of hepatocytes, and the sICAM-1 level and activities of IL-1,IL-8 and TNFa were related to state of HBV carrier or the active degree of HBV in patients with hepatic disease.

Aim To explore new ways for developing anticancer drugs by the separation of pigment from Fu-sarium species JN158 ( Fusarium sp JN158 ) , the iden-tification of its structure, the screening of anticancer components and the study of its partial mechanism. Methods Pigment separation was done by HPLC, structural analysis by UV, IR, NMR, the screening of anticancer activity by MTT. Western blot was used to analyze the protein expression of CyclinD1, NF-κB, VEGF in tumor cells. Results The results showed that the pigment from Fusarium produced a total of six different peaks, of which peak Ⅵ was the anthocya-nins. Its molecular weight is about 382, molecular for-mula is C17 H18 O10 . According to investigation, this pig-ment was probably a new compound, which could in-hibit the proliferation of MCF-7 cells markedly ( IC50:0.011mmol·L-1 ,P<0.05;the control medicine ube-nimex IC50:10 mmol · L-1 ) in a concentration-de-pendent manner, and had no effect on human umbilical cord intravenous endotheliocyte ( HUVEC ) . The influ-ence on the gene expression of CyclinD1, NF-κB, VEGF in MCF-7 cells varied with the concentration of this compound. The Western blot results showed that VI pigment compound inhibited CyclinD1, NF-κB, VEGF gene expression (P<0.05 or 0. 01),compared with the control group. Conclusion The Ⅵ pigment compound from Fusarium sp JN158 could inhibit MCF-7 proliferation by inhibiting CyclinD1, NF-κB, VEGF gene expression. The compound may be a promising compound against breast cancer.

【Objective】 To investigate the risk factors of frailty syndrome in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and their impact on prognosis. 【Methods】 The elderly patients with ACS aged 65 and over, who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology and Geriatric Cardiology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from September 2020 to February 2021, were selected in the cross-sectional survey. The patients were divided into frailty syndrome and non-frailty syndrome groups via the Chinese revised version of Tilburg Frailty Scale. We collected the patients’ activities of daily living, nutrition, depression, sleep quality, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, and adverse events during hospitalization and within 30 days of discharge. We then performed LOG-BINOMIAL regression to analyze the risk factors of frailty syndrome. 【Results】 A total of 250 elderly ACS patients were enrolled, and 118 patients were diagnosed with frailty syndrome with 47.2% prevalence of frailty syndrome. There was a significant difference in the average score between the frailty syndrome group and the non-frailty syndrome group (11.06±2.53 vs. 5.77±1.54, P<0.01). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that age (PR=2.01 CI: 1.81-2.22, P<0.001), hypertension (PR=1.20 CI: 1.09-1.30, P<0.001), chronic kidney disease (PR=1.16 CI:1.04-1.29, P=0.012), and NT-proBNP (PR=1.20 CI: 1.07-1.35, P=0.004) were risk factors for frailty syndrome in elderly ACS patients. The incidence of arrhythmia and pulmonary infection during hospitalization and the rate of readmission within 30 days after discharge were significantly higher in the frailty syndrome group than those in the non-frailty syndrome group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 There is a higher incidence of frailty syndrome in elderly patients with ACS. Older age, hypertension, chronic kidney disease and high NT-proBNP can increase the risk of frailty syndrome. In clinical practice, attention should be paid to the above factors, and reasonable intervention should be provided in time.

The BCL6 (B-Cell Lymphoma 6) gene is a proto-oncogene that is often expressed in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs). BCL6 loss of function can kill DLBCL cells, demonstrating that BCL6 is necessary for the survival of DLBCL cells and could be a therapeutic target. In this study, we found that BCL6 protein levels were consistently upregulated in DLBCL tissues, whereas its mRNA levels varied randomly in tissues, suggesting that a post-transcriptional mechanism was involved in BCL6 regulation. We used bioinformatics analysis to search for miRNAs, which potentially target BCL6, and identified specific targeting sites for miR-10a in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of BCL6. We further identified an inverse correlation between miR-10a levels and BCL6 protein levels, but not mRNA levels, in DLBCL tumor tissue samples. By overexpressing or knocking down miR-10a in DLBCL cells, we experimentally validated that miR-10a directly recognizes the 3'-UTR of the BCL6 transcript and regulated BCL6 expression. Furthermore, we demonstrated that negatively regulating BCL6 by miR-10a suppressed the proliferation and promoted apoptosis of DLBCL cells.
