AIM: To investigate the expression and effects of sialyl Lewis X (SLeX) on the invasion and migration of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells.METHODS: The expression of α1,3-fucosyltransferase VII (FUT7) in HepG2 cells and L-02 cells was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The SLeX expression in HepG2 cells and L-02 cells was determined by Western blot and immunocytochemical staining.The invasion and migration abilities of the treated cells were evaluated by Transwell assay.RESULTS: The expression of FUT7 and SLeX in the HepG2 cells, but not in the L-02 cells, was observed.The invasion rates of the HepG2 cells treated with SLeX monoclonal antibody at 0.05, 0.5 and 5 mg/L were significantly decreased as compared with control group (P<0.05).The migration ability of the HepG2 cells treated with SLeX monoclonal antibody at 0.05, 0.5 and 5 mg/L was also significantly reduced as compared with control group (P<0.05).The invasion rate and migratory cell number were significantly different between any 2 groups in the HepG2 cells treated with SLeX monoclonal antibody at 0.05, 0.5 and 5 mg/L (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: HepG2 cells express SLeX.SLeX is closely related to the migration and invasion abilities of the HepG2 cells.

Objective To investigate the correlation between pathologic features and contrast?enhanced ultrasound in patients with breast ductal papilloma. Methods From January 2014 to January 2016,80 patients with breast intraductal tumor treated in our hospital were selected,including 20 cases of breast ductal carcinoma (ductal carcinoma group) and 60 cases of benign tumor (benign group). Both groups received conventional ultrasound, ultrasonic angiography,and pathological feature analysis. Results Breast surrounding hyperecho,internal micro calcification,border edge burr and posterior echo attenuation were more frequently seen onconventional ultrasound in ductal carcinoma groupthan inbenign group(P<0.05). The average scores of contrast?enhanced ultrasound were significantly higher in ductal carcinoma group than in the control group(P<0.05). In the ductal carcinoma group, there were statistical significant differences betweenpatientswith different lymph node metastasis dukes staging ,and differentiation types (P < 0.05). Spearman rank correlation coefficient analysis showed that breast intraductal carcinoma lymph node metastasis and dukes staging,differentiation types were markedly correlated with pathological features and ultrasound imaging (r=0.341,0.368,and-0.289;P<0.05). Conclusions Conventional ultrasound and contrast?enhanced ultrasound have very good imaging featuresin the diagnosis of breast intraductal cancer ,and there is correlation between pathologic features and contrast?enhanced ultrasound in patients with breast ductal papilloma,which can provide values for early diagnosis of breast ductal carcinoma.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of the patients with hyperthyroidism complicated with acute cerebral infarction, and to evaluate the prognosis and safety of intravenous thrombolysis treatment in the patients with hyperthyrodism complicated with acute cerebral infarctron within time window for thrombolysis. Methods:The clinical materials of patients with acute cerebral infarction treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (rt-pA)were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into hyperthyroidism group (n=41) and non-hyperthyroidismin group (n=160) according to whether complicated with hyperthyroidism.The general imformation,the area of cerebral infarction and intracranial hemorrhage of the patients in two groups were analyzed.Results:The NHISS score of the patients in hyperthyroidism group was higher than that in non-hyperthyroidism group for the first time(P<0.05).The NHISS scores 7 d after treatment and the 90 d modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores had no statistical differences between two groups (P>0.05).The proportions of the different infarction sizes had significant differences between two groups (P<0.05).The patients with large area cerebral infarction in hyperthyroidism group accounted for 51.2%, and it accounted for 27.5% in non-hyperthyroidism group.The incidence of asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage of the patients in hyperthyroidism group was higher than that in non-hyperthyroidismin group (P< 0.05),but there was no statistical difference in the incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SHA) between two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion:The patients with acute cerebral infarction complicated with hyperthyroidism could benefit from intravenous thrombolysis, without the increasing of incidence of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and SHA.

Objective:To analyze the effect of montelukast combined with budesonide in the treatment of children with intermittent asthma, and the impact on airway remodeling and T helper type 1 (Th1)/T helper type 2 (Th1/Th2) related cytokines.Methods:A prospective study was conducted among 120 children with intermittent asthma admitted to Huanghua Municipal People′s Hospital from December 2021 to February 2023. The children were randomly divided into the control group (60 children treated with budesonide atomizationinhalation) and the observation group (60 children treated with montelukast on the basis of the treatment of control group). Clinical efficacy, airway remodeling indicators [total area of airway (Ao), outer diameter of airway (D) and wall area to total airway cross-sectional area (WA%)], pulmonary function [peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) and the maximum expiratory flow at 25% of vital capacity (MEF25%)], Th1/Th2 related cytokines, inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)], recurrence, and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group: 90.00% (54/60) vs. 75.00% (45/60) ( P<0.05). After treatment, Ao, D and WA% in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (17.58 ± 1.89) mm 2 vs. (19.22 ± 1.94) mm 2, (4.25 ± 0.48) mm vs. (4.48 ± 0.49) mm, (63.75 ± 6.49)% vs. (69.22 ± 7.14)% ( P<0.05).

Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of AKR1B10 inhibitor combined with sorafenib on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) xenograft growth. Methods: HepG2 xenograft model was established in nude mice. The mice were then randomly divided into four groups: control group, epalrestat monotherapy group, sorafenib monotherapy group and combination treatment group. Tumor volume, tumor weight, T/C ratio and the change in body weight of nude mice in each group were compared to evaluate the curative effect. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the expression of Ki-67 in tumor tissues to evaluate the proliferation status of tumor cells. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the differences between the groups. Student’s t-test was used to test means of two groups and chi-square test was used for multiple samples. Results: The differences of the grafted tumor volume before and after treatment between the control group, epalrestat group, sorafenib group and combined therapy group was 238.940 ± 39.813, 124.991 ± 84.670, -26.111 ± 11.518, and -54.072 ± 17.673(mm³), respectively, (F = 37.048, P < 0.001). The tumor mass were 0.273 ± 0.140, 0.158 ± 0.078, 0.079 ± 0.054, 0.045 ± 0.024 (g), (F = 16.594, P < 0.001); T/C ratio were 100%, 57.9%, 28.9%, 16.5%, and Ki-67 positive rate were 23.295 ± 6.218, 13.503 ± 3.392, 7.325 ± 2.257, 4.664 ± 1.189 (%), (χ² = 822.203, P < 0.001) . The tumor volume (t = -3.579, P = 0.002) and Ki-67 positive rate (t = -10.003, P < 0.001) in epalrestat monotherapy group were significantly lower than control group. The tumor volume (t = 2.056, P = 0.025), tumor mass (t = 2.101, P = 0.043), and Ki-67 positive rate (t = -2.850, P = 0.005) in combination treatment group were significantly lower than sorafenib monotherapy group. Compared with the control group, the body weight of nude mice in the treatment group decreased to a certain extent, but there was no statistically significant difference between epalrestat monotherapy group and control group (t = -1.599, P = 0.262), and combined therapy and sorafenib monotherapy group (t = -0.051, P = 0.96). Conclusion AKR1B10 inhibitor enhanced the inhibitory effect of sorafenib on hepatocellular carcinoma xenograft.
