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.

[Objective]To explore the change and its significance of the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) messenger RNA and bone morphogenic protein-2(BMP-2) of the local femoral head in the nontraumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head(NONFH).[Method]Sixteen samples of femoral heads of NONFH were collected as the experimental group and fresh 10 samples of femoral heads of femoral neck fracture as control group,overall examples were collected from total articular replacement arthroplasty.The samples were splitted in coronal plane and get one bone block from necrosis area and another one from healthy area,make them into microtome section after the process of immobility and decalcification.Their pathological change was observed by using optical microscope and electron microscope and detect the expression of BMP-2 and VEGFmRNA in femoral head through making use of immunohistochemistry and in-situ hybridization technique.[Result]The organization structure of experimental group was disorganized,cracked and the bone trabecula was rarefactive and non-intact and there was a great number of empty lacuna in bone trabecula.While there was the reverse situation in the control group.The intensity and area of positive expression of BMP-2 and VEGFmRNA in femoral head of the experimental group were lower than that of control group obviously.The result showed statistical significance(P

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 develop a tool capable of early and exactly predicting various outcomes in comatose survivors who restore spontaneous circulation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and validate its performance.Methods Variables that were both readily available and predictive of outcomes were identified by systematically reviewing published literature on resuscitation.A value was assigned to these variables.We used these variables in combination with APACHE Ⅱ/score to devise a multifactorial prediction score system,which we called PRCSs Prognostication Score (PRCSs-PS).Outcomes in 115 hospitalized comatose survivors after CPR were retrospectively reviewed using PRCSs-PS.Score of patients with different outcomes was compared.The area under the receiveroperating characteristic (ROC) curve was determined to evaluate performance of this tool to identify patients with a poor outcome (CPC4 and 5) and other outcomes (CPC1,2,and 3).Results There were differences of PRCSs-PS score among multiple groups with five different outcomes (CPC1-5)(F=65.91,P=0.000).Pairwise groups with different CPC were compared:no significant difference was noted between CPC 1 and CPC2 (12.41±6.49 vs 17.38±6.91,P=0.092),but difference between other pairwise CPC groups was statistically significant (CPC2 vs CPC3:17.38±6.91 vs 24.50±5.80,P=0.041,CPC3 vs CPC4:24.50±5.80 vs 32.29±5.24,P=0.006).The performance of PRCSs-PS to discriminate patients with a poor outcome from patients with other outcomes went as follows:it had 100% sensitivity,78.6% specificity,and 178.6 diagnostic index at the score cut-off22.5; it had 77.8% sensitivity,100% specificity and 176.4 diagnostic index at the score cut-off32.5.Score 23 and 33 were two key cut-offpoints.The area under the ROC curve was 0.968,showing excellent discrimination.Conclusions The final outcomes in post-resuscitation comatose survivors can be accurately predicted using PRCSs-PS Score.
