AIM: To investigate the phenomenon that miR-let-7d regulates the proliferation and invasion abilities of the lung cancer cells through nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors γ (PPARγ).METHODS: The relation between PPARγ and microRNA was analyzed by bioinformatics.The plasmid reporter assay was used to verify that PPARγ was the target of miR-let-7d.The lung cancer cell line with low expression of PPARγ was selected from different lung cancer cell lines by Western blot.The regulatory role of miR-let-7d in the lung cancer cells was determined by dual luciferase labeling and Western blot.The effect of miR-let-7d on the proliferation ability of lung cancer cells was detected by colony formation assay, the effect of miR-let-7d on the invasive ability of lung cancer cells was detected by Transwell invasion assay.RESULTS: The results of bioinformatic analysis showed that miR-let-7d regulated the expression of PPARγ, and the 3'UTR of PPARγ contained 2 functional miR-let-7d binding sites, indicating that PPARγ is a direct target of miR-let-7d.miR-let-7d was able to directly regulate the expression of PPARγ at mRNA and protein levels.Transfection of miR-let-7d inhibitor promoted the proliferation and invasion abilities of lung cancer cells by increasing the expression of PPARγ.CONCLUSION: miR-let-7d increases the expression of tumor suppressor PPARγ to inhibit the proliferation and invasive abilities of lung cancer cells.

BACKGROUND: It has been confirmed that some casting alloy can inhibit the activity of human gingival fibroblasts in vitro, which can be used for inducing apoptosis of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). However, the mechanism of this effect is poorly understood.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Ni-Cr, Co-Cr, Au and pure Ti ceramic alloys on the expression of P70S6k by HGFs in vitro.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Grouping controlled experiments with the expression of P70s6k by HGFs in each group as observation objects. Experiments were performed at the Institute of Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, Technology Building of Liaoning Medical University from July to October 2009.MATERIALS: Ni-Cr, Co-Cr, Au and pure Ti ceramic alloys were processed by Shenzhen Mecodent Dental Laboratory Co., Ltd. The gingival from gingival neck of the first premolar (which goes to be extracted due to the need of orthodontic treatment) of teenager who was15 years old without any clinical disease was obtained, followed by the primary culture of HGFs. The fifth passage of cells in logarithmic phase were used to measure indexes.METHODS: Ni-Cr, Co-Cr, Au and pure Ti ceramic alloys were incubated in DMEM to prepare alloy leaching liquor, which were then added in HGF medium at 10% concentration. DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum was used in negative controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expression of P70S6k in each group was measured by Western Blotting following 72 hours of intervention with alloy leaching liquor.RESULTS: Western-blot results showed that there was no significant difference in the average gray value of P70S6k expression in Au, pure Ti ceramic alloys and control groups (P > 0.05). There was also no significant difference between Au ceramic alloys and pure Ti ceramic alloys groups or between Ni-Cr ceramic alloys and Co-Cr ceramic alloys groups. (P > 0.05), but Ni-Cr ceramic alloys group or Co-Cr ceramic alloys group showed significant difference compared with the Au, pure Ti ceramic alloys and control groups (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Au ceramic alloys and pure Ti ceramic alloys show that they have no obvious effect on the proliferation activity of HGFs. Ni-Cr and Co-Cr ceramic alloys showed an inhibitory effect on the proliferation activity of HGFs.

Objective To study the expression of leukemia-related protein 16 (LRP16) in human pituitary prolactin adenomas (PRL adenomas), and the relationship between LRP16 and estrogen receptorα (ERα).Methods From October 2009 to September 2014, thirty-one adult patients diagnosed and pathologically confirmed as pituitary prolactin (PRL) adenomas (observation group) and 22 pituitary non-PRL adenomas (control group) in the Chinese PLA General Hospital were verified by the pathological examination. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression levels of LRP16, PRL and ERα.Results Of the patients in observation group, those aged under 30 were predominantly females, while male patients were more common in those aged over 30. LRP16 positively existed in 26 cases (83.9%, 26/31), and ERα was positive in 28 cases (90.3%, 28/31), the both ratios were significantly higher than those in control group. ERα and LRP16 increased synchronously both in expressive content and intensity, showing a certain positive correlation between them.Conclusions Higher body mass index may be a high-risk factor badly affected the occurrence, development and prognosis in male patients with pituitary PRL; LRP16 may take part in the proliferation and formation of pituitary PRL adenomas through ERα.

Objective To explore the value of iDose4 iterative reconstruction for coronary CT angiography (CCTA).Methods Totally 124 coronary heart disease patients underwent iDose4 iterative reconstruction and filtered back projection (FBP) reconstruction,of whom,56 ones with BMI not less than 20 kg/m2 were put into No.1 iteration group using 135 kV tube voltage and 68 ones with BMI less than 20 kg/m2 were into No.2 iteration group using 110 kV tube voltage.FBP reconstruction was executed with 110 kV tube voltage.Comparison analyses were carried out on signal noise ratio (SNR),contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and image quality.Results There were significant differences between the values of SNR,radiation dose and image quality in No.1 iteration group and FBP group (P<0.05).Statistical differences were also found between the values of CNR and radiation dose in No.2 iteration group and FBP group,while there were no obvious differences between the values of SNR and image quality in the above two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Low-voltage iDose reconstruction gains advantages in radiation dose and image quality during 64-slice CCTA,and thus is worthy promoting clinically.
