Aim To study the pharmacokinetics of po-lyethylene glycol conjugation on EILDVP peptide in mice by injection through tail vein.Methods KM mice,saturated thyroid gland with compound of NaI, were injected for 1 25 I labeled EILDVP-Tyr-NH2 ,EILD-VP-Cys (mPEG2000-MAL)-Tyr-NH2 and EILDVP-Cys (mPEG20000-MAL)-Tyr-NH2 peptides (1 25 I:5 mL · kg -1 volume 3.441 GBq·L -1 concentration)by tail intravenous,respectively.Blood samples at different time intervals were obtained,blood plasma was separa-ted,and the radioactivity of precipitation after trichloro-acetic acid (TCA)treatment was tested.According to standard curve equation, the plasma concentration curve and pharmocokinetic parameters were depicted by means of 3P97 pharmocokinetics software.Results Concentration range of 3.75 ~480 μg·L -1 of three 1 25 I labled peptides in plasma from mice had good line-ar relationship.Recovery of method was 88.92% ~
1 06.66%,and RSD <1 0%.The half-life time (T1 /2 ) of EILDVP-Tyr-NH2 peptide modified by mPEG2000 and mPEG20000 ,labled by 1 25 I was 0.43h and 1 .94h,re-spectively,which was 1 .54 times and 6.93 times that of prototype peptide (T1 /2 =0.28h),and the clear-ances (Cl)were 1 .23 times and 24.71 times,respec-tively.The apparent distribution volume (V)values of the three species were small,which might mainly dis-tributed in the plasma.Conclusions Suitable for mo-lecular mass mPEG modified the EILDVP peptides could extend to maintain time in vivo,which could play a positive role in improving efficacy.In the experimen-tal range,EILDVP peptide modified by larger molecu-lar mass of mPEG20000 has better effect.

Objective:To investigate the effects of methyltransferases like 3(METTL3)mediated m6A modification of double homology cassette A pseudogene8(DUXAP8)on the proliferation,migration and invasion of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma SACC-LM cells and its potential molecular mechanisms.Methods:Whole-transcriptome sequencing showed that DUXAP8 was highly ex-pressed in SACC than in para-cancerous tissues(P<0.05).The m6A modification sites on DUXAP8 were predicted using the SRAMP website,and the mRNA and protein expression of m6A-modified genes and the genes associated with the epithelial-mesen-chymal transition(EMT)was measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.METTL3 and DUXAP8 was knocked down or overexpressed in SACC-LM cells,and the proliferation,migration,and invasion of the cells were assessed by CCK-8,scratch and Transwell assays.The correlation between METTL3 and DUXAP8 was evaluated using MeRIP-qPCR.Results:The expression of DUXAP8 in SACC tumor was higher than that in para-cancerous tissues(P<0.05).Knockdown of DUXAP8 reduced proliferation,migration and invasion of SACC-LM cells,as well as the expression of EMT-related genes(P<0.05).Multiple m6A modification sites of high confidence were found on DUXAP8.METTL3 was highly expressed in tumor tissues,more than other related genes(P<0.05)and enzyme-encoding genes in SACC-LM cells(P<0.05).METTL3 was found to function as a methyltransferase to regulate the expression of DUX-AP8,and downregulation of METTL3 inhibited prolifera-tion,migration and invasion of SACC-LM cells and partially reversed the promotion of these activities induced by DUX-AP8 overexpression(P<0.05).Conclusion:METTL3-me-diated m6A modification upregulated DUXAP8 expression,which promotes the proliferation,migration and invasion of SACC cells.

【Objective】 To reduce the incidence of postoperative intestinal obstruction, we tried to improve surgical techniques by closing the cavity formed during radical cystectomy + ileal passage (Bricker) via laparoscopy to prevent the formation of abdominal hernia. 【Methods】 During Oct.2018 and Feb.2022, 41 patients were involved (conventional group). After standard laparoscopic radical cystectomy + pelvic lymphadenectomy, the ileum channel was established. The right medial retroperitoneum was sutured to cover the mesothelium and end of the ileum channel under open operation or endoscope. The space between the ureter and mesothelium of the ileum channel was sealed, and the end of the ileum channel and both ureters were externalized. During Feb.2022 and Dec.2022, 15 patients were involved (modified group). The right inner and outer lateral peritoneums below the ileal conduit were sutured to "bottom out" the gap between the ileal conduit and the right abdominal wall in addition to standard procedures. The recovery of intestinal function and incidence of bowel obstruction were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 In the conventional group, the intestinal function recovered within 2 to 6 days after surgery, with a median ventilation time of 3 days. Intestinal obstruction occurred in 3 patients, 2 of whom improved after conservative treatment while 1 underwent surgical exploration after ineffective conservative therapy. There were no significant differences in the time of discharge and ventilation between the two groups, but no intestinal obstruction occurred in the modified group. 【Conclusion】 Peritoneal externalization at the end of ileal passage can reduce the incidence of intra-abdominal hernia and postoperative intestinal obstruction, which is worthy of clinical application.
