Tumor microenvironment is the key factor that influences the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.Exosome is the particle by which cells can make communication in microenvironment.MicroRNA (miRNA)is widely involved in physiological processes,and plays an important role in the stability of tumor environment.MiRNAs in exosome play roles in tumor cell proliferation,extracellular matrix remodeling,and then promote the metastasis,invasion and angiogenesis of tumor.Thus,the expression of oncogenes can be blocked by regulating the exosome production and secretion.It may shed light on the development of a thera-peutic strategy for tumor treatment.

Objective To establish a sensitive real-time quantitative PCR assay with TaqMan probe for rapid detection of mcr-1 gene in clinical isolated strains. Methods According to the mcr-1 gene sequence, a pair of specific primers and a TaqMan probe were designed. Moreover, a recombinant plasmid with mcr-1 gene was constructed as the positive standard. TaqMan probe-based fluorescence quantitative PCR assay was used to detect the colistin resistance gene mcr-1. The sensitivity, repeatability and specificity of the assay were evaluated. Results There was a good linear relationship between the initial template amount and Ct value (R2>0. 999). The lower limit of detection was 10 copies/μL, which was 100 times more sensitive than the conventional PCR. Results of test for specificity showed that only the strains carrying the mcr-1 gene were positive, while the remaining strains were negative. Coefficients of variation of intra-and inter-group repeatability tests were less than 1%. Two out of 150 clinical isolated strains carried mcr-1 re-sistance gene and both of them were identified as Escherichia coli. Conclusion TaqMan probe-based fluo-rescence quantitative PCR for the detection of colistin resistance gene mcr-1 was established with strong spe-cificity, high sensitivity and good repeatability. It could be used for the specific detection of clinical drug-re-sistant strains positive for mcr-1 gene and provide reference for pharmacotherapy.

Objective:To compare the consistency and detection capability of seven 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection kits, and provide reference for detection method selection of clinical laboratory and diagnosis of new coronavirus pneumonia.Methods:Two batches of pharyngeal swab samples were collected from tenpatients with confirmed infection of 2019-nCoV and 10 suspected patients with negative 2019-nCoV test results during January 29 to February 5, 2020 in Shenzhen Luohu People′s Hospital. Seven kinds of kits were labeled as ato g and used for nucleic acid detection respectively to evaluate the consistency of the test results of the clinical samples. A 2019-nCoV positive specimen was selected and diluted to 5-concentration gradient plates (Level-1 to 5) with RNase-free water. The positive detection rate and intra-batch repeatability of different brands of kits were compared.Results:The negative and positive coincidence rates of twenty clinical samples tested by six kinds of kits were 100%, and the positive and negative coincidence rate was 8/10 and 10/10 for the other kit, respectively. The results of intra-batch repeatability showed the CVs of viral loads tested by these seven kits were all less than 5%. In the concentration range of Level-1 to 3, the detection capability for open reading frame (ORF)1ab gene of Kit b,d and f was lower than Kit a,c,e and g, and the detection capability of kit e and g was the highest (14/15). The detection capability for N gene of Kit a (15/15) was higher than the other 5 kits. The comprehensive analysis of the detection capability for ORF1ab and N gene showedthat Kit d had the lowest detection capability (ORF1ab:40%,N:53%), and there was no significant difference in the detection capability of Kit a, b, c, e, and f.Conclusions:There was no significant difference in the accuracy and repeatability of the seven kits for positive samples with high viral loads, and the detection performance was good; but some kits had poor detection capability for weak positive samples. It is suggested that the weak positive samples should be rechecked by at least two manufacturers′ kits to ensure the accuracy of the results.

Objective:
As solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and hemangiopericytoma (HPC) share the same molecular genetics features, the 2016 WHO classification of central nervous system (CNS) tumors had created the combined term SFT/HPC and assigns three grades. This study aims to investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and prognosis of CNS SFT/HPC.
Methods:
Seventy-one cases of CNS SFT and HPC were retrospectively reclassified and studied. Histopathological, immunohistochemical and imaging features were analyzed. The follow-up data were analyzed.
Results:
There were 37 male and 34 female patients. The median age was 48 years (range, 3-77 years). Twelve cases (17%) were WHO grade Ⅰ, 26 (37%) were WHO grade Ⅱ and 33 (46%) were WHO grade Ⅲ. Microscopically the tumor could show traditional SFT phenotype, HPC phenotype or mixed phenotype. Immunochemically, 97%(69/71) were positive for STAT6, with 96%(66/69)showing diffuse strong staining. Approximately 90% were diffusely positive for bcl-2, CD99 and vimentin. The expression rate of CD34 decreased with increasing tumor grade, and the mean expression rate was 78%. SSTR2a was variably expressed in 10% (7/71) of cases including one case showing strong cytoplasmic staining. A few cases expressed EMA, CD57 and S-100 focally. The Ki-67 index ranged from 1% to 50%. Thirty four patients were followed up for 8-130 months; 12 patients(35%)had recurrences, and two (6%) had liver metastases.
Conclusions
CNS SFT/HPC is relatively uncommon. There was significant morphological overlap or transition between different grades. STAT6 is a specific marker for the diagnosis of this tumor. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment. WHO grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ SFT/HPC show rates of local recurrence and systemic metastasis, with liver being the most common site of extracranial metastasis.
