Objective To explore the effects of adriamycin-loaded immuno-nanoparticles on multidrug resistance (MDR) of hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721/ADM. Methods The cytotoxicity of the adriamycin-loaded immuno-nanoparticles on the bepatoma cell line SMMC-7721/ADM in vitro and the tumor cell-binding ability of adriamycin-loaded immuno-nanoparticles were detected. Results The effect of the cytotoxicity of adriamycin-loaded immuno-nanoparticles on the hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721/ADM was significantly better than that of adriamycin-loaded nanoparticles. Adriamycin-loaded immuno-nanoparticles had the specific binding ability with the hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721/ADM. Conclusions Adriamycin-loaded immuno-nanoparticles can overcome the MDR of the tumor in vitro. The mechanism may be that immuno-nanoparticles could adhere to the tumor cell membrane, and the release of the loaded adriamycin creates a high local concentration in the extracellular medium. The increased concentration gradient improves the diffusion of adriamycin from the extracellular medium to the intracellular medium.

Objective:To study the frequencies of allele and genotype distribution of miR-146a C>G(rs2910164) and miR-149 T>C( rs2292832) gene, and to analyze the statistical differences between different racial and nationalities.Methods:The Polymerase Chain Reaction-Single Base Extension ( PCR-SBE) technique and DNA sequencing methods were used for the determination of the SNP in miR-146a C>G and miR-149 T>C gene,and compared with the European, African, Japanese and People in Beijing from the Human Genome Project (HapMap).Results:There were no statistical differences of allele and genotype distribution in miR-146a C>G,miR-149 T>C between female and male group (P>0.05).There were significant difference frequencies of allele and genotype distribution of miR-146a C>G and miR-149 T>C gene by compared with the European, African and People in Beijing( P<0.05).Conclusion:There were gene Polymorphisms of miR-146a C>G and miR-149 T>C in Guangxi populations, and there were significant differences by compared with other ethnic populations, which may play an important role in the human inherited disease research.

AIM:To study the relationship between expression of p53 protein and AgNORs count and histological grade in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.METHODS:Fifty-six patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and 25 normal pancreatic tissue were examined for mutant P53 protein by immunohistochemistry,silver binding nucleolar organizer regions(AgNORs)were counted in cancer cells,and histological grade was observed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.RESULTS:P53 protein positive expression was 50% in pancreatic adenocarcinoma,P53 protein expression was negative in all normal pancreatic tissue.There is a significant difference in P53 expression between normal pancreatic tissue and pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissue.The mean AgNORs count was 9.14?2.08 in group with P53 protein positive expression,and 5.99?1.84 in group with P53 protein negative expression group.The P53 expression was associated with AgNORs significantly.The P53 expression was significantly related with histological grade,and AgNORs count was also significantly related with histological grade.CONCLUSION:P53 may be closely related to carcinogenesis and development of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.P53 protein expression and AgNORs count might be a useful prognostic factor in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of SOX2 in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer and explore its association with the clinical features.

METHODSSOX2 expressions were examined using immunohistochemical method in 10 normal cervical tissue specimens, 36 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia specimens (including 10 cases of grade I, 12 of grade II, and 14 grade III) and 40 cervical cancer specimens (including 21 cases of stage I and 19 of stage II). The correlation between the immunohistochemical results and the clinical features of the patients was analyzed.

RESULTSSOX2 expression was negative in normal cervical tissues, and was positive in 41.6% of CIN specimens (10.0% in CIN I, 41.7% in CIN II, and 64.3% in CIN III) in 82.5% of cervical cancer specimens (78.2% in stage I and 88.2% in stage II). The patients with cervical cancer had a significantly higher positivity rate of SOX2 than normal control group (P<0.05). The positivity rate of SOX2 increased with the evolution of cervical disease. SOX2 protein expression was significantly correlated with the histological grade and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05), but not with the age or clinical stage of the patients (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSOX2 expression may serve as a useful indicator for evaluating metastasis and malignancy of cervical cancer.

Objective:To discuss the safety and effectiveness of del Nido cardioplegia solution in severe valvular surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 138 patients of severe valvular disease underwent valve replacement or valvuloplasty in Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital between July 2019 and December 2020 was performed. According to the different cardioplegic solution used, patients were separated in two groups: the del Nido cardioplegia group (D group, n=73) and the St. Thomas cardioplegia group (C group, n=65). The perioperative clinical results of the two groups were compared to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of del Nido cardioplegia in the operation of severe valvular disease. Results:Preoperative characteristics were similar between the two groups, including gender, age, body weight, ejection fraction, and myocardial markers ( P>0.05). No statistical differences were noted in cardiopulmonary bypass time, clamp time, mechanical ventilation time, vasoactive drug use time, ICU and hospital stay time, and ejection fraction before discharge ( P>0.05). However, the times of cardioplegia perfusion [(1.33±0.47)times vs (4.08±0.48)times] and the total perfusion time [(3.96±1.41)min vs (13.15±1.46)min] in group D were lower than those in group C, while the automatic rebound rate (90.41% vs 76.92%) was higher than that in group C ( P<0.05). Both groups successfully completed the operation. There were no serious complications of important organs such as low cardiac output, brain, liver and kidney during and after the operation. There were no deaths during hospitalization, and all patients were cured and discharged. Conclusions:There was no significant difference in myocardial protection between del Nido and St. Thomas cardioplegia solution in severe valvular surgery. The application of del Nido cardioplegia could reduce the frequency of perfusions and total perfusion time.
