Objective:To investigate the differentially expressed miRNAs in serum collected post operation and compared these miR-NAs with those collected pre-surgery among patients suffering from glioblastoma multiform (GBM) and undergoing regular clinical fol-low-up. These miRNAs may be potential biomarkers for the post-operative evaluation of patients with GBM. Methods:Forty-eight pa-tients with GBM and clinical pathological diagnosis were enrolled in this study. In the initial biomarker screening stage, total RNAs were extracted and subjected to Solexa sequencing to select miRNAs with significantly altered expression pre-and post-operation. Some of these differentially expressed miRNAs were chosen and verified through TaqMan probe-based qRT-PCR assay. A t-test was performed to determine the miRNAs that satisfied the two criteria, namely, fold change>2 and P<0.05. All of the patients were fol-lowed-up, and survival data were collected. The patients were then classified into two groups, namely, long-and short-survival groups, on the basis of the median of the miR-30e expression levels in the sera collected post-operation. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test (SPSS version 19.0, IBM) were employed to determine the possible relationships between miR-30e expression levels in the sera collected post-operation and patients' overall survival. Results: Solexa revealed 63 differentially expressed miRNAs. Four miRNAs, namely, miR-26b, miR-30e, miR-129-3p, and miR-206, were selected on the basis of previous and present findings. These miRNAs were then verified in the RT-qPCR phase. Among these miRNAs, only miR-30e was significantly upregulated post-operation. The serum miR-30e expression level post-operation was not significantly associated with the overall survival of the patients. A low miR-30e expression level corresponded to prolonged survival. Conclusion:miR-30e was upregulated in the sera collected post-operation from patients with GBM. This miRNA may be negatively related to the tumor load of these patients. The miR-30e expression level in the serum col-lected post-surgery serum was not significantly associated with overall survival. Therefore, miR-30e may serve as a novel potential non-invasive biomarker for the post-operative evaluation of patients with GBM.

ObjectiveTo explore the expression of monokine induced by interferon- γ(Mig) in serum and chemokine receptor 3(CXCR3)on lymphocytes of peripheral blood in children with bronchiolitis.MethodsIn this study, 55 patients with bronchiolitis in our hospital were randomly recuited, and were divided into two groups: atopic group and non-atopic group. Of the same age 26 healthy children had been enrolled randomly as control group. The level of CXCR3 expression (CD183) on lymphocytes of peripheral blood was detected by lfow cytometry in all children. The level of Mig in serum was assayed by ELISA.ResultsThe level of CD183 expression on the CD3+CD4+T lymphocytes in atopic group and non-atopic group(16.39±4.13%,14.39±3.74 %)were higher than that of control group(11.17±3.13%,P<0.05),CD183+CD4+/CD4+% in atopic group were higher than that in non-atopic group(P<0.05). The level of CD183 expression on CD3+CD8+T lymphocytes in atopic group and non-atopic group(67.18±10.57 %, 61.44±11.46 %)were higher than that of control group(51.19±5.42 %, P<0.05),CD183+CD8+/CD8+% in atopic group were signiifcantly higher than that in non-atopic group(P<0.05). The level of Mig in serum of children with bronchiolitis in atopic group and non-atopic group(99.67±35.77ng/L, 120.28±32.28ng/L)were signiifcantly higher than that in control group(63.90±15.82 ng/L,P<0.05). The level of Mig in non-atopic group was higher than that in atopic group, there was signiifcant difference(P<0.05).ConclusionsMig and CXCR3 are involved in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis, and CXCR3 may relate to allergic factors.

Objective: To explore the growth inhibition and apoptosis-inducing effects of apigenin in human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. Method: MTT and flowcytometry were used to detect the growth inhibition and cell cycle distribution in apigenin-treated SGC-7901 cells respectively. DAPI fluorescence staining and DNA ladder assay were applied to study the pro-apoptosis effects of apigenin. The expression of apoptosis relative proteins, caspase-3 and Bcl-2, were analyzed by using Western blotting. Results: Apigenin treatment significantly inhibited the growth of human gastric cancer cell SGC-7901 and markedly caused their apoptosis following activation of caspase-3 and downregulation of Bcl-2 protein expression. Conclusion: The activation of caspase-3 and downregulation of apoptosis relative protein Bcl-2 expression were the possible mechanism of apigenin induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in SGC-7901 cells.
