Objective To construct a lentivirus vector for RNA interference targeting myosin Va gene and to observe its effect on motility and migration of human pulmonary giant cell carcinoma PG cells. Methods Based on the efficient target sequence for myosin Va RNAi, two pairs of oligo DNA containing myosin Va RNAi target sequence or scramble sequence were synthesized and inserted into pSuper vector, followed by sequence analysis. The expressing cassette H1 promoter-shM5A/shCON from the recombinant pSuper plasmid was then transferred to the lentivirus vector plenti4, and the recombinant lentivirus was packaged. PG cells were transduced with the packaged lentivirus and the positive cells were screened by zeocin selection. RT-PCR was performed to determine the myosin Va RNAi efficiency in zeocin-resistant PG cells, and wounding assay and Boyden chamber assay were utilized to examine the capabilities of motility and migration in myosin Va RNAi PG cells. Results Restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed the successful construction of the lentivirus vector containing myosin Va RNAi target or scramble sequence. RT-PCR result showed that myosin Va mRNA levels were remarkably reduced in lentivirus-based myosin Va RNAi PG cells. The abilities of motility and migration were also significantly inhibited in lentivirus-based myosin Va RNAi PG cells, as demonstrated in wounding assay and Boyden chamber assay.Conclusion Myosin Va RNAi lentivirus vector was successfully constructed and efficiently repressed myosin Va expression in PG cells. Repression of myosin Va by RNAi led to the inhibition of PG cells motility and migration, indicating that there might exist correlation between the expression of myosin Va and cancer progression.

Objective Studies show that the abnormal ex-pressions of APC and survivin play important roles in the development and progression of colon cancer .Survivin shRNA and APC double gene co-expression lentiviral vector was constructed to observe whether it could be successfully expressed in HT-29 colon cancer cells and whether it could impact on colon cancer cell apoptosis . Methods We selected the best shRNA interference fragment from the construc-tion of three pairs of complementary shRNA fragments and connected it with the effective fragment of APC ( aa1020-1698 ) to construct a double gene co-expression lentiviral vector .HT-29 cells were divid-ed into experimental group , empty loading group and blank group .HT-29 cells were observed by fluorescence microscopy after infec-tion.Survivin and APC expression levels were observed by real time PCR and western blot .Apoptosis was detected by caspase-3 activi-ty assay. Results ①We successfully constructed three pairs of shRNA sequences and proved that they had no human gene homolo -gous to the rest.Real time PCR analysis showed that the best sequence was shRNA 3.②After the sequence alignment of constructed shRNA vectors, three pairs of shRNA sequences were completely the same with the first designed sequence .Green fluorescence was observed in HT-29 cells by fluorescence microscope .The survivin content in experiment group (31.71 ±1.49) was significantly de-creased compared with empty loading group (100 ±0) and blank group(95.12 ±2.15)(P<0.05).The expression level of APC mR-NA was significantly increased compared with empty loading group (0 ±0) and blank group(0.51 ±0.15)(P<0.05).③The relative ratio of apoptosis in experiment group (0.573 ±0.050) was significantly increased compared with empty loading group (0.390 ± 0.040) and blank group(0.407 ±0.030)(P<0.05). Conclusion We have successfully constructed survivin-shRNA-APC double gene co-expression lentiviral vector which can be successfully expressed in HT-29 colon cancer cells , providing references for subse-quent gene therapy by the use of the carrier .

Objective:To investigate the effect of 980 nm semiconductor laser preablation of urethra mucosa at the prostatic tip in small volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:The case data of 120 patients diagnosed with small volume BPH in the Yan′an University Affiliated Hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into improved group and conventional group according to different treatment methods, with 60 cases in each group. Patients in the improved group were treated with 980 nm semiconductor laser preablation of urethra mucosa at the prostatic tip, and patients in the conventional group were treated with 980 nm semiconductor laser vaporization of prostate. The sexual function of the patients was evaluated by the international erectile function index-5(IIEF-5) score, erectile hardness score (EHS) and retrograde ejaculation before surgery and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. International prostate symptom scale (IPSS), quality of life (QOL) score, the maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) and postvoid residual urine (PVR) were used to evaluate urinary control function. The incidence of urinary incontinence, bladder neck contracture and other complications were compared between the two groups. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between groups. The count data were expressed as cases and percentage, and Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Results:There was no significant difference in PVR, Qmax, IPSS score, QOL score, IIEF-5 score and EHS score between two groups ( P>0.05). In terms of PVR, Qmax, IPSS score, QOL score, IIEF-5 score and EHS score at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, all these parameters were significantly improved compared with the preoperative, the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P> 0.05). There was no significant difference in IIEF-5 score and EHS score between the two groups during postoperative follow-up and before and after operation ( P> 0.05). The incidence of retrograde ejaculation rate in the improved group was lower than that in the conventional group during the follow-up 1, 3, 6 months after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the follow-up 1, 3 months after surgery, the incidence of stress urinary incontinence in the improved group was lower than that in the conventional group, the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.05). At follow-up 6, 12 months after surgery, the rates of stress urinary incontinence were similar between the two groups, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P> 0.05). In the follow-up 12 months after surgery, there were 2 cases (3.33%) of bladder and neck contracture in the improved group, and 8 cases (13.33%) in the conventional group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The effect of 980 nm semiconductor laser preablation of urethra mucosa at the prostatic tip in small volume BPH patients is similar to that of conventional vaporization, and the operation time is short. At the same time, the proximal 1 cm tissue of the verticulae and the integrity of the bladder neck are preserved, and the internal and external sphincter of the urethra are protected, thus improving the immediate postoperative urinary control rate and the incidence of retrograde ejaculation in small volume BPH patients.
