Objective: To evaluate the effect of synthesized small interfering RNA targeting to HIF-lα on the adhesion and invasion of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line (Tca8113). Methods; A double strand small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting HIF-1α (siRNAH1Fla) was transfected into cultured Tca8113 cells by lipofectamine2000. The expression of HIF-1α was investigated on mRNA level by real time-PCR and protein level by Western blot. The adhesion and invasion of Tca8113 cells to extracellular matrix (ECM) was also analyzed. Results: Exposure to hypoxia induced a prolonged elevation of HIF-lα protein and siRNAHIF.la reduced HIF-la synthesis as measured on mRNA level and protein level compared with the controls. No matter under normoxic or hy-poxic conditions, the adhesion potency of siRNAHIF-1α treated Tca8113 cells was markedly inhibited compared with controls(P<0.05 or P <0.01). So did the invasion potency (P<0.01). The adhesion and invasion potency of siRNAHIF.,a treated Tca8113 cells were inhibited more greatly under hypoxic condition than under normoxic condition ((36.4±2.7)% vs(26±2.35);(44.2±2.2)% vs (35±1.75), P<0.01)). Conclusion; siRNAH1F.lo can knockdown the expression of HIF-la and inhibit the cell adhesion and invasion to ECM in Tca8113 cells. HIF-la may play an established role in the regulation of Tca8113 cells invasion and metastasis. Interfering with HIF-1α pathways by siRNA strategy may provide a therapeutic target for human tongue squamous cell carcinomas.

With increasing age, more and more patients with posterior chamber intraocular lens (ICL) implantation are facing the threat of cataracts to their visual acuity.When examining the eyes of cataract patients after ICL surgery, attention should be paid to whether the density of corneal endothelial cells is greater than 2 000 cells/mm 2, the state of the anterior chamber angle, and whether there are fundus abnormalities such as retinal detachment and choroidal neovascularization.When conducting eye biometry measurement, attention should be paid to the measurement starting and ending lines of anterior chamber depth and lens thickness.If patients undergo ICL combined with corneal refractive surgery, they should be examined with two or more devices to obtain corneal refractive power according to the examination requirements after corneal laser vision correction.When selecting the type of intraocular lens, consideration should be given to the histological characteristics of high myopia.Compared to C- and L- loops, plate-haptic is relatively more stable in patients with high myopia accompanied by large capsules and larger diameters of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis.Kane, Barrett Universal Ⅱ, Olsen, Hill-RBF formulas for calculating the refractive power of intraocular lenses are more accurate in people with long axial length.It is recommended to perform ICL removal simultaneously with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, preferably with a surgical incision greater than 2.6 mm.Femtosecond laser assisted cataract extraction surgery, although superior to traditional phacoemulsification in reducing corneal endothelial cell loss, reducing corneal edema, and high-quality capsulorhexis, can cause incomplete capsulorhexis and fragmentation due to the cavitation bubbles, manual adjustment of location, and the impact of lower vault.It is recommended to use it with caution.Ophthalmologists should fully understand and pay attention to the characteristics and difficulties of cataract surgery after ICL surgery, communicate fully with patients, and make personalized surgery to achieve better visual outcomes.

Objective:To explore the influences of times of venous thromboembolism (VTE) drug prophylaxis in formation of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with severe craniocerebral injury after surgical treatment.Methods:Ninety patients with severe craniocerebral injury, admitted to our hospital from February 2021 to December 2021, were chosen in our study; they were divided into early group ( n=47, less than 48 h from the time of admission) and late group ( n=43, more than 48 h from the time of admission) according to the times of initiation for VTE drug prophylaxis (low molecular weight heparin calcium injection [LMWH] 100 IU/Kg was injected subcutaneously once a d). One week after injection, the DVT formation in the lower limbs, intracranial rebleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding and death were compared in the two groups. Results:The times of initiation for drug prophylaxis in the early group and late group were (28.91±4.50) h and (71.56±8.89) h. The DVT formation in the early group was significantly lower than that in the late group (12.8% vs. 34.9%, P<0.05). There was no difference in the incidence of intracranial rebleeding, mortality or gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Early initiation of VTE drug prophylaxis can significantly reduce the incidence of DVT in patients with severe craniocerebral injury after surgical treatment, enjoying high safety.

Journal of China Pharmaceutical University 2025;56(2):236-243
Aluminum adjuvants are widely used in the field of vaccines due to their ability to induce efficient and long-lasting immune responses and good safety profile. With the development of immunology, the requirements for adjuvants have gradually increased, and traditional aluminum adjuvants can no longer meet all the needs of application. The development of novel aluminum adjuvants has become a hot research topic in order to achieve good immunity-enhancing effects and induce specific types and strengths of immune responses. This review briefly introduces the mechanism of action and safety of aluminum adjuvants, with focus on the research progress of novel aluminum adjuvants in recent years, mainly including nano-aluminum adjuvants and composite aluminum adjuvants (aluminum adjuvants compounded with immunity-stimulating molecules or delivery carriers), and a prospect of their future research direction, aiming to provide some reference for the further development and clinical application of aluminum adjuvants.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between serum 25(OH)D and gestational diabetes mellitus in the second trimester (GDM), to analyze the interaction effect of key risk factors, so as to provide a basis for clinical personalized vitamin D supplementation. MethodsA total of 266 pregnant women who registered and took regular obstetric check-ups in Shanghai Pudong New Area Health Care Hospital for Women and Children from June to December 2022, were selected as the research subjects. According to the results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), the subjects were divided into the GDM group (131) and control group (135). The level of serum 25(OH)D at the time of OGTT were detected and other clinical indicators were followed up. ResultsThe age, systolic blood pressure in early pregnancy, pre-pregnancy BMI, FPG, OGTT 1-hour and 2-hour glucose, GHb, HOMA-IR, TG, AST, Cr, D-D, FDP and SF at 35 weeks’ gestation of the pregnant women were higher in the GDM group than that of the pregnant women in the normal group, while gestational weight gain and serum 25(OH)D level were significantly lower than that of the pregnant women in the normal group. Serum 25(OH)D was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR and WBS’s, but positively correlated with TG and ALT. Serum 25(OH)D was non-linearly correlated with the risk of GDM in an inverted J-shape, and there was an interaction effect of advanced age, pre-pregnancy obesity and vitamin D deficiency on the risk of GDM. ConclusionVitamin D is non-linearly associated with the risk of GDM. The risk of GDM is significantly reduced when serum 25(OH)D level ≥30 ng∙mL-1.
