Objective: Explore the function and regulatory mechanism of Annexin A1 (ANXA1) in bladder cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis and migration. Methods: From February 2018 to June 2019, we use T24 cells as the model and divide it into over-expression control group (ctrl), ANXA1 over-expression group (ANXA1), knockdown control group (shctrl), ANXA1 knockdown group 1 (shANXA1-1), ANXA1 knockdown group 2 (shANXA1-2) and ANXA1 knockdown group 3 (shANXA1-3). 24 hours after the culture, the cells were collected and the mRNA expression level of ANXA1 was detected by Real-Time quantitative PCR. The cell activity was detected by CCK-8; the cell apoptosis and cycle were detected by flow cytometry. The cell migration was detected by Transwell assay. Results: The Real-Time quantitative PCR showed that the expression of ANXA1 in the over expression group was significantly higher than that in the over expression control group (15 369.00±874.20 and 1.00±0.07, P<0.001). The expression of ANXA1 in the knockdown group 2 and 3 were significantly lower than that in the knockdown control group (0.51±0.04, 0.51±0.02 and 1.00±0.04, P<0.001). Compared with the over expression control group(1.61±0.01), the cell activity of the over expression group(2.04±0.02)was significantly increased (P<0.001), while the activity of the knockdown group 2 and 3 (1.40±0.002 and 1.31±0.003)were significantly decreased than the knockdown ctrl group (1.73±0.01)(P<0.001). The results of flow cytometry showed that the number of G₀/G₁ cells in the over-expression group was significantly lower than that in the over-expression control group (28.14±0.33 and 46.19±0.73, P<0.001), while that in the knockdown group 2 and 3 were significantly higher than that in the knockdown control group (58.670±0.49, 62.34±4.01 and 45.59± 0.19, P<0.001 and P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of apoptosis between the over-expression group and the over-expression control group (P>0.05), while the number of apoptosis in the knockdown group 2 and 3 were significantly higher than that in the knockdown control group (13.04%, 14.58% and 7.76%, P<0.001). Cell function analysis showed that the number of cells passing through the membrane of the over expression group was significantly higher than that of the over expression group (525.00±9.30 and 385.70±13.40, P<0.01), while that of the knockdown group 2 and 3 were significantly lower than that of the knockdown control group (214.70±6.40, 226.00±5.30 and 398.70±10.00, P<0.001). Conclusions Over-expression of ANXA1 significantly promoted the proliferation, cycle and migration of T24 cells and inhibited apoptosis. On the contrary, ANXA1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation, cycle and migration of T24 cells and promoted apoptosis.

Objective To compare the effect of using the fresh tumor lump and the recovered low temperature-storing VX2 tumor lump that have been frozen for different time to construct the rabbit HCC model.Methods Fish-like fresh VX2 tumor lumps were selected.After the peripheral necrotic tissue and muscle were removed,the tumor lumps were frozen at-80℃ for 3,5 and 7 months.Twenty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups.The rabbits in group A(control group)received fresh liver tumor lump implantation to construct in-situ VX2 rabbit HCC models.The rabbits in groups B,C and D(experimental groups)received implantation of the recovered low temperature-storing VX2 tumor lump which had been frozen at-80℃ for 3,5 and 7 months,respectively,to construct in-situ VX2 rabbit HCC models.Fourteen days after implantation,the modeling effect of tumor formation in each group was assessed.The proliferation,apoptosis of tumor cells and the angiogenesis were evaluated by immunofluorescence assay.Results The tumor formation rate of all group A,B,C and D was 100％.However,with the extension of cryopreservation time,the difference in tumor mass activity became larger after 5 months,and the necrotic area of liver tumor center became enlarged.Histological examination showed that there were no significant differences in the expressions of TUNEL,Ki67,HIF-α,VEGF and CD31 between group A and group B,while there were significant differences in the expressions of TUNEL,Ki67,HIF1-α,VEGF and CD31 between group A,B and group C,D.Conclusion The rabbit VX2 HCC model,which is constructed by implantation of recovered low temperature-storing VX2 tumor lump being frozen at-80℃ in vitro for a certain time,can be successfully established within 7 months.The difference in tumor mass activity between tumor lumps became larger after 5 months.But on the whole,the constructed rabbit VX2 HCC model can better preserve the tumor strain activity.This modeling technique can save manpower and material resources.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:269-274)

Objective To investigate the expression of Thymosinβ10(TMSB10)in gastric cancer and its molecular mechanism in promoting the progression of gastric cancer.Methods We collected pathological sections of 70 patients with gastric cancer in our hospital,detected expression of TMSB10 in gastric adenocarcinoma by immunohistochemistry,and analyzed its prognostic effect.In order to study the mechanism of action,the effects of TMSB10 on the proliferation and glycolysis of gastric cancer cells and its related mechanism were observed by trans-fection technique,CCK8 test,EDU assay,Transwell assay,scratch test,glycolysis assay and Western blot.Results Immunohistochemistry showed that TMSB10 was highly expressed in gastric cancer,while the expression level of TMSB10 was correlated with tumor size(P=0.032),TNM stage(P=0.002)and distant metastasis.In the mechanism study,we found that overexpression of TMSB10 promoted the proliferation,invasion,migration and glycolytic phenotype of gastric cancer cells through in vitro CCK-8 test,EDU assay,Transwel assay and glycolysis assay,and vice versa.Western blot results showed that overexpression of TMSB10 may regulate the occurrence of gastric cancer through up-regulation of the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.Conclusions TMSB10 promotes the proliferation,invasion,migration and glycolysis gastric cancer through the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.

Background It has been reported that orthokeratology has the effects of slowing down myopia progression and axial elongation.However,the affecting mechanism of orthokeratology wearing on ocular peripheral refraction is still not elucidated.Objective This study was to observe and compare the changes of ocular peripheral refraction and relative peripheral refraction (RPR) in low to moderate myopic eyes of children after wearing orthokeratology lens and spectacles for 6 months.Methods A randomized controlled clinical trial was carried out after approval of Ethic Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital and informed consent of guardians of the children.One hundred myopic children aged (ll.0±1.9) years were recruited in Beijing Tongren Hospital from June 2014 to January 2015,with the diopter of-0.50 to-6.00 D.The subjects were randomized into orthokeratology group and spectacles group by the process PLAN PROC of software SAS 9.1.3,50 for each group.The subjects in the orthokeratology group wore orthokeratology lens for 6 months and those in the spectacles group wore spectacles for the same period.An infrared open-field autorefractor was employed to measure the refraction at central 0°,temporal 15°,temporal 30°,nasal 15°and nasal 30° radial lines before and after wearing lens for the assessment and comparison of the changes of peripheral refraction and RPR.Results There was no significant difference in spherical equivalent between the orthokeratology group and the spectacles group before wearing lens ([-3.35±1.31] D versus [-3.01± 1.15] D,P =0.20).The peripheral refraction values in the orthokeratology group were (-2.28 ± 1.60),(-3.28±1.41),(-3.40±1.23),(-3.38±1.12) and (-2.09±1.29)D at nasal 15°and nasal30°,central,temporal 15° and temporal 30°radial lines before wearing lens,and reduced by (0.29±1.67),(0.85±1.66),(0.92±1.76) and (0.66±1.66) D at nasal 30°,nasal 15°,central and temporal 15° after wearing lens,respectively,with significant differences at nasal 15°,central and temporal 15°(all at P＜0.05).The peripheral refraction values in the spectacles group were (-1.88±1.30),(-2.66±1.18),(-2.89±1.27) and (-1.94±1.31)D at nasal 15°,nasal 30°,temporal 15 ° and temporal 30°,radial lines before wearing lens and increased by (-0.25±0.80),(-0.43 ±0.67),(-0.32±0.64) and (-0.22±0.75)D after wearing lens,respectively,with significant differences between before and after wearing lens (all at P＜0.05).The RPR shifted from hyperopia defocus to myopia defocus before and after wearing lens in temporal 15° and 30° radial lines in the orthokeratology group,and at various radial lines in the spectacles group,the RPR showed gradually worsening of hyperopia defocus.Conclusions Long-term wearing of orthokeratology results in a hyperopia shifting in myopic children by exposing the peripheral retina towards relative myopia defocus,whereas wearing spectacles leads to a relative hyperopia defocus on retina.Thus,orthokeratology may slow down the myopia progression.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics and etiology of clustered outbreaks of hand， foot， and mouth disease （HFMD） in Pudong New Area， Shanghai from 2017 to 2022， and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of HFMD in the area. MethodsThe data related to HFMD clustered outbreaks from 2017 to 2022 were obtained from the Pudong New Area HFMD outbreak database. Descriptive analysis was conducted to explore the outbreak scope， seasonal characteristics， distribution of occurrence settings， and etiological composition. ResultsFrom 2017 to 2022， Pudong New Area reported a total of 2 547 HFMD clusters， involving 8 884 cases， with an average of 3.49 cases per event. The majority of events （78.52%） had between 2 and 4 cases. The peak reporting periods for clustered HFMD from 2017 to 2019 and in 2021 were during the summer （May‒July） and autumn （September‒November）. The seasonal pattern was less distinct in 2020 and 2022， likely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of clustered outbreaks occurred in childcare facilities （44.64%）， followed by households/neighborhood committees （44.21%）， with schools accounting for a smaller proportion （12.39%）. The etiology revealed the coexistence of multiple enterovirus genotypes， with a positive detection rate of 60.46%， and CoxA6 being the dominant strain. ConclusionHFMD clustered outbreaks in Pudong New Area show fluctuating trends， with significant yearly differences in the number of incidents. The predominant seasons for outbreaks are summer and autumn， with CoxA6 identified as the dominant strain. The implementation of prevention and control measures for COVID-19 significantly reduced the occurrence of HFMD outbreaks. Continuous monitoring and focus on large-scale clustered outbreaks in key institutions are essential for the future.
