Objective:To establish an HPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of vinblastine in rat plasma. Methods:Aceto-nitrile was used to precipitate protein in the samples after the addition of internal standard, and then the concentration was analyzed by HPLC/MS/MS. All the separations were carried out on an Ultimate C18 column (150 mm × 2. 1 mm, 5. 0 μm). The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and 10 mmol·L-1 ammoniumacetate (containing 0. 1% formic acid) (49 ∶51) and was pumped at a flow rate of 0. 3 ml·min-1 under 40 °C. The detection was performed with multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) using electrospray ioniza-tion (ESI). The precursor/product ion transitions were monitored at m/z 811. 4→m/z 224. 2 (positive ion mode) for vinblastine and m/z 825. 4→m/z 807. 4(positive ion mode) for internal standard vincristine. Results:Good linearity of vinblastine was obtained with-in the range of 0. 457-950 ng·ml-1(r=0. 997 1). The lower limit of quantification was 0. 457 ng·ml-1. The extraction recoveries were within the range of 89. 15%-95. 28%. The precision of intra-and inter-day was not more than 7. 95%. T1/2 of vinblastine in rats was (5. 86 ± 2. 37) h, and AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-∞) was (68. 45 ± 14. 51) and (95. 03 ± 33. 09)μg·L-1 ·h, respectively. Conclu-sion:The method is fast, sensitive and accurate, which provides research basis for the development of vinblastine and transporters re-search in medicine. The concentration of vinblastine in rats is low, and the half-life is long.

The highest score was found for appreciation of life, the lowest was spiritual change. Meanwhile, posttraumatic growth was significantly correlated with perceived social support. The correlation coefficient was 0.730 (P<0.01). In the coping style, there was a positive correlation between positive coping style and post-traumatic growth. The correlation coefficient was 0.644, (P<0.01). While except personal relationship and mental change dimensions, there was a negative correlation between the post-traumatic growth with the negative coping style. The correlation coefficient was-0.155 (P<0.05). Conclusions Family of patients with digestive system cancer also experience posttraumatic growth when their loved ones are diagnosed with cancer, but the posttraumatic growth was at the lower level. Social support and positive coping are the positive factors of post traumatic growth, and negative coping is the negative influencing factor.

Objective To investigate the effect of Osthole on memory function of sleep deprivation(SD) mice. Methods Forty-eight male mice were randomly divided into 4 groups;normal control group(NC group ), large platform control group(TC group),sleep deprivation group(M group)and Osthole group(Ost group). The model of SD in mice was estabished by using improved multi platform method. The ability of learning and memory was tested by using Morris water maze test and pathological changes of hippocampal neurons in mice were observed by HE staining. The serum,hippcampus malondialdehyde(MDA)contents and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity, so as the hippocampus No content,were detected. Results Compared with NC group and TC group,the escape la-tency of M group increased significiantly and the number of crossing platform decreased significantly. There were in-creased levels hippocampus tissue,serum MDA level,hippocampal SOD activity and NO content. After supplemen-tation of Osthole,the escape latency significantly shortened in mice. The number of crossing platform was increased while the contents of MDA both in hippocampus and serum were decreased,and the SOD activity in hippocampus re-turned to normal. However,the level of NO in hippocampus was not decreased. Conclusion Osthole can protect the memory function of SD mice by reducing the the damage of hippocampal neurons through antioxidant stress.

Objective:To investigate the expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), clinicopathologic features, immunohistochemical expression and molecular characteristics in fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient renal cell carcinoma and to explore the potential application of immunotherapy in the patients.Methods:There were six patients with FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University between January 2020 and October 2022. The clinical data, histological morphology, immunophenotype, PD-L1 expression and next-generation sequencing results were tabulated and analyzed.Results:There were 6 patients, all male, age ranged from 37 to 72 years (mean 45.7 years). Four cases were high-grade (WHO/ISUP grade3-4) with 2 or more histologic patterns, including papillary (most common), glandular, tubular, vesicular, ethmoid, nest-like, cystic and solid structures. Two cases were low-grade which showed nest-like, glandular, or tubular arrangement with eosinophilic flocculent cytoplasm and small intracellular vacuoles. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed strong expression of 2SC in all 6 cases, negative expression of FH in 5 cases, and positive expression of GATA3 in 5 cases. In high-grade cases, the mean values of CD4 and CD8 positive T-lymphocytes in advanced tumor invasion were 180.3/mm 2 and 130.5/mm 2, respectively. PD-L1 combined positive scores (CPS) were 20, 50, 5 and 30, respectively. The Ki-67 proliferative index were 20%, 20%, 10% and 30%, respectively. In low-grade cases, the mean values of CD4 and CD8 positive T-lymphocytes were 123.0/mm 2 and 100.5/mm 2, respectively. The PD-L1 CPS score was 1, and the Ki-67 proliferation index was 3%. High-throughput sequencing showed FH gene somatic mutation in 3 cases, FH gene germline mutation in 2 cases, and FH gene mutation was not detected in one case. Conclusion:FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma is more commonly high-grade than low grade. FH and 2SC are immunohistochemical markers used in the diagnosis of FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma, and GATA3 positivity is supportive of the diagnosis. The tumor infiltration of high-grade FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma shows an increase in CD4 and CD8 positive T-lymphocytes, and high expression of PD-L1; thus, anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy can be used as a treatment option.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the differences in the expression profiles of circular RNA (circRNA) between luminal breast cancer cells and normal breast cells.

METHODSTotal RNA extracted from luminal breast cancer cells MCF7 and normal breast cells MCF10A was digested with Rnase R to remove linear RNAs and enrich circRNAs. The enriched circRNAs were amplified and transcribed into fluorescent cRNAs using a random priming method, and were hybridized onto the circRNA hybridization array. The circRNA expression profiles of MCF7 and MCF10A cells were analyzed using Agilent Feature Extraction software. Quantile normalization and subsequent data processing were performed, and volcano plot filtering and hierarchical clustering were utilized to analyze the circRNA expression patterns. The expressions of 3 circRNAs with significant log fold changes were validated using qPCR.

RESULTSThe hybridization array data revealed significant differences in the circRNA expression profiles between MCF7 and MCF10A cells. Compared with those of MCF10A cells, the 12910 circRNAs expressed in MCF7 cells showed 5964 up-regulated, 81 consistently regulated, and 6865 down-regulated circRNAs; 343 circRNAs showed a log fold change by more than 2 folds, among which 213 circRNAs were up-regulated and 130 were down-regulated. Nine circRNAs showed differential expressions by more than 2 folds, including 8 up-regulated ones, namely hsa_circRNA_061260 (6.02 folds), hsa_circRNA_103933 (5.96 folds), hsa_circRNA_005239 (5.84 folds), hsa_circRNA_100689 (5.69 folds), hsa_circRNA_004087 (5.60 folds), hsa_circRNA_104420 (5.25 folds), hsa_circRNA_104421 (5.13 folds) and hsa_circRNA_101222 (5.03 folds); only one circRNA was down-regulated, namely hsa_circRNA_104864 (5.09 folds). The expressions of hsa_circRNA_100689, hsa_circRNA_005239 and hsa_circRNA_104864 were further validated by qPCR, which yielded consistent results with the microarray data.

CONCLUSIONSThe circRNA expression profiles differ significantly between luminal breast cancer cells and normal breast cells. These differentially expressed circRNAs may serve as potential novel targets for the diagnosis of luminal breast cancer.
