Objective To analyze the expression of long non-coding RNA ( lncRNA) in renal clear cell carcinoma ( RCCC ) , the association of lncRNA with RCCC, as well as the role of lncRNA in the diagnosis and treatment of RCCC.Methods Forty fresh RCCC tissues and their normal adjacent tissues were collected from March 2012 to June 2013, and total RNA was extracted using Trizol reagents, purified and tested by denaturing agarose gel electrophmesis and NanoDrop 1000.Through Arraystar Human LncRNA Microarray, the different expression of lncRNA between RCCC and normal adjacent tissues was screened. RT-qPCR was used to verify the expression of lncRNA in 40 pair RCCC tissues and normal adjacent tissues. The receiver-operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve was adopted to verify the diagnostic efficiency of the selected lncRNA.Results LncRNA expression profile showed 1 787 lncRNA with expression alteration in two fold or above, up-regulated and down-regulated candidate lncRNAs were 941 and 846 respectively. Compared with the adjacent tissues, NR_034095 and NR_038974 were up-regulated in RCCC, and ENST00000571724 and ENST00000566575 were down-regulated, which were consistent with the microarray analysis.By the ROC curves of NR_034095, NR_038974, ENST00000571724 and ENST00000566575 to discriminate the RCCC from normal adjacent tissue, the area under curve was 0.928 ( 95%CI 0.873 -0.984), 0.759 (95%CI 0.647-0.871), 0.833 (95%CI 0.747-0.919) and 0.887 (95%CI 0.815-0.959 ) , respectively.Conclusions NR _ 034095, NR _ 038974, ENST00000571724 and ENST00000566575 are significantly differently expressed in RCCC.The different expressed lncRNA might be closely related to the process of RCCC, and may be used as a new candidate target for molecular diagnosis and gene therapy of RCCC.

Objective:To observe the influence of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 6 (NLRP6) on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and elucidate the related mechanism.Methods:Thirty C57BL/6 mice with body weight of (18.80±1.99) g, were divided randomly into 5 groups, with 6 mice in each group: the mice that experienced only exploratory laparotomy were Sham group; that only underwent an operation to establish a hepatic IRI model were IRI group; that were treated with tail intravenous injection of clodronate (Clo) liposomes before the establishment of hepatic IRI model were Clo group; that received tail intravenous injection of clodronate liposomes and transfusion of bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) before the operation were Clo+ BMDM group; that received preoperative tail intravenous injection of clodronate liposomes and transfusion of BMDM with NLRP6 knockdown were Clo+ NLRP6-knockdown group. Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis (RT-PCR) and Western blot were performed to analyze the expressions of pyroptosis related proteins and factors. Simulate a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model in vitro, and set up experimental groups: lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + adenosine triphosphate (ATP), LPS+ ATP+ NLRP6-knockdown, H/R, and H/R+ NLRP6-knockdown. The changes of expressions of pyroptosis related proteins and factors were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Expression of NF-κB in vivo and in vitro was measured.Results:Compared with those in Sham group, protein expressions of NLRP6, NLRP3, Caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), IL-1β and IL-18 were remarkably increased in IRI group, but the levels of these proteins were dramatically decreased in Clo group with the exhaustion of macrophages in comparison with in IRI group, which were significantly different statistically (all P<0.05). The levels of these proteins were enhanced again in Clo+ BMDM group with the reconstruction of macrophages in contrast to those in Clo group, while the enhancements were more obvious in Clo+ NLRP6-knockdown group comparing to those in Clo+ BMDM group, with significant differences (all P<0.05). In vitro, pyroptosis rate for LPS+ ATP group was (16.39±1.06)%, which was lower than (27.34±2.79)% for LPS+ ATP+ NLRP6-knockdown group, with a statistical significance ( P<0.05). Meanwhile, pyroptosis rate for H/R group was (20.59±5.66)%, also much more reduced than (37.76±2.00)% for H/R+ NLRP6-knockdown group ( P<0.05). Expressions of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, IL-18 and NF-κB p65 in LPS+ ATP+ NLRP6-knockdown group were more elevated than in LPS+ ATP group, and these indices were also more enhanced in H/R+ NLRP6-knockdown group than which in H/R group. Compared to the Sham group, expression of NF-κB p65 significantly increased in IRI group, which was reversed in Clo group, but enhanced again in Clo+ BMDM group and reached a peak in Clo+ NLRP6-knockdown group. Conclusions:Macrophage plays a critical role in immune response to hepatic IRI, wherein NLRP6 functions specifically. NLRP6 acts to suppress inflammation during hepatic IRI through regulating macrophage pyroptosis via inhibiting NF-κB.

Objective To understand the colonization status of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae in nasopharynx of healthy infants in Wuhan. Methods Six vaccination clinics were randomly selected, and the nasopharyngeal specimens of healthy infants were collected and cultured for Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenza. Results The carrying rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae in 998 healthy infants was 18.84% and 17.54%, respectively. The carrying rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae within 6 months of age was 15.79% and 14.39%, and the carrying rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae at 7-12 months old was 22.90% and 21.73%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (Sp: χ2=5.60 P=0.02; Hi:χ2=8.98 P=0.00); The carrying rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae in urban and suburban areas was 18.08% and 19.78%, respectively, and the Haemophilus influenzae carrying rate was 17.18% and 17.98%, respectively. The differences were not statistically significant (Sp:χ2=0.47 P=0.50; Hi:χ2=0.11 P=0.74). The correlation coefficient (r value) of the age of the month and the carrying rate of sp and hi was 0.98 and 0.96, respectively. Conclusion The age of healthy infants in Wuhan was highly linearly and positively correlated with the carrying rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenza.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for safe drug use in the clinic by mining the adverse drug event (ADE) signals of 4 kinds of biological agents for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS ADE data of infliximab, adalimumab, ustekinumab and vedolizumab were collected from the FDA adverse event reporting system between the first quarter in 2004 and the fourth quarter in 2022, and were mined by using reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) method. The system organ class (SOC) was used for the classification and statistics of drug ADE terminology. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 65 173, 247 894, 37 596 and 6 134 ADE reports were retrieved for the above 4 biologic agents, involving 1 664, 1 731, 588, 303 ADE signals and 27, 27, 24, 26 SOC, respectively. The largest number of ADE reported of infliximab were various musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases, and the signal intensity of disseminated tuberculosis was stronger. The largest number of ADE reported of adalimumab were systemic disease and various reactions at the administration site, and the signal intensity of papular at the injection site was stronger. The largest number of ADE reported of ustekinumab were various injuries, poisoning and operation complications, and the signal intensity of latent tuberculosis was slightly stronger. The largest number of ADE reported of vedolizumab were systemic diseases and various reactions at the administration site, and the signal intensity of shorter treatment response time was stronger. When clinically administering the four drugs, it is crucial to pay close attention to common ADEs and other ADE not mentioned in the drug label. For infliximab, clinicians should exercise caution due to the potential risk of synovitis and basal cell carcinoma; when prescribing adalimumab, caution should be exercised due to ADEs related to synovitis and hernia; for ustekinumab, the ADE associated with hepatobiliary diseases should be vigilant; for vedolizumab, clinicians should be vigilant for blood in the stool, increasing frequency of defecation. Except for ustekinumab, the other 3 biological agents also require attention for ADE associated with pregnancy.
