Purpose To investigate the expression of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) and Cyclin B1, p21WAF1in cervical carcinoma, and to determine the relationship between the expression of the three proteins and tumor clinicopathological features. Methods The expres-sion of Plk1, Cyclin B1 and p21WAF1 was detected in 102 cases of cervical carcinoma, 20 cases of (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, CIN) , and 20 cases of nomal cervical tissues by the technique of tissue chip and immunohistochemical staining of EliVision. Statistical analyses of the data were performed with SPSS 19. 0 software. Results The positive rates of Plk1 in cervical carcinoma and CIN were 70. 5%, 55. 0%, respectively, which were significantly higher than normal cervical tissues (10%) (P<0. 01);The positive rates of Cyclin B1 in cervical carcinoma and CIN were 52. 9% and 30. 0%, respectively, which were significantly higher than normal cervical tissues (10%)(P <0.01); The positive rates of p21WAF1 in cervical carcinoma and CIN were 23.5% and 10.0%, respectively, which were significantly higher than normal cervical tissues ( 0 ) ( P<0. 01 ) . There were no significant differences between cervical carcinoma and CIN in the positive rates of Plk1, Cyclin B1 and p21WAF1. The expression of Plk1 was associated with the depth of carci-noma invasion (P<0. 05), that of Cyclin B1 was associated with lymph node metastases and the depth of carcinoma invasion (P<0. 05)and that of p21WAF1 in cervical carcinoma was associated with histological grade (P<0. 05). In cervical carcinoma, the expres-sion of Plk1 was positively correlated with Cyclin B1 (rs =0. 297, P=0. 002) and negatively correlated with p21WAF1(rs = -0. 403, P<0. 001). Conclusion The expression of Plk1, Cyclin B1 and p21WAF1 is involved in the occurrence and development of cervical carcinoma, and the former two are also related with prognosis of cervical carcinoma. The combination of the three would provide a new target for clinical treatment.

Objective:To investigate the phenotype and function of the intestinal γδT lymphocytes in post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome mouse model. Methods:The mouse model for post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome was established by the infection with trichinella spiralis. The intestinal inflammation,abdominal withdrawal reflex( AWR) and colon transportation test were observed. 2 and 8 weeks later,the animals were sacrificed and the lymphocytes in the intestinal lymph nodes and spleen were collected,from which the γδT lymphocytes were isolated and purified by monoclonal antibody-immuno-microbeads method. The functions of the purified γδT lymphocytes were evaluated,including proliferation by 3 HTdR;CD69,CD62L molecule staining by flow cytometry. Furthermore,the con-centration of cytokine IL-17 and IFN-γ in the supernatant of the cultured γδT lymphocytes were detected by ELISA. Results: At 2nd weeks after infection,significant intestinal inflammation was observed,with increasingγδT lymphocytes,proliferating and activating with increasing production of IL-17. At 8th weeks after infection, the intestinal inflammation disappeared, whereas the number of γδT lymphocytes remained increasing,also with proliferating and activating with increasing production of IL-17. Meanwhile,the mice show higher AWR score and Bristol score. Conclusion: γδT lymphocytes could participate in the pathogenesis of PI-IBS via their proliferation,activation and production of IL-17.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the perioperative electrolyte imbalance in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS: Retrospective case analysis was used in this study. Patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January to April 2018 were selected through electronic medical records system. Blood gas analysis during surgery must be carried out in the enrolled patients. Patients with excessive fluid infusion, critical conditions or patients who had been enrolled in other clinical trials were excluded. A total of 999 patients were enrolled. The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative concentrations of serum sodium, potassium and calcium were collected by the last biochemical examination before surgery, arterial blood gas analysis within 1 h after anesthesia and another biochemical examination within 24 hours after surgery respectively. The type and incidence of electrolyte imbalance were then analyzed, and logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors. RESULTS: In the 999 patients, 683 cases were male (63.9%) and 361 cases were female(36.1%), with an average age of (56.9±14.6) years old. Fifty-eight patients (5.8%) underwent emergency surgery and 941 patients (94.2%) underwent elective surgery; Sixty-two patients were treated with laxatives at least 3 times and 115 patients were treated with enema at least 3 times before operation. The incidence of hypokalemia was 49.6%(496/999) intraoperatively and decreased to 15.2%(152/999) postoperatively. No hyperkalemia cases were found. The incidence of hypocalcemia was 53.8%(537/999) intraoperatively and increased to 79.7% (796/999) postoperatively. The incidence of hypokalemia in ileus patients was 33.3%(17/51) before surgery, which was higher than that in patients with colorectal cancer [12.3%(86/703)], patients with gastric cancer [7.8%(8/104)] and patients with other gastrointestinal diseases[10.6%(15/141)] (all P<0.05). Similarly, the preoperative and intraoperative incidence of hyponatremia in ileus patients were both 15.7%(8/51), which were higher than those in patients with colorectal cancer [3.0% (21/703) and 2.3% (16/703)] and patients with gastric cancer [2.9%(3/104) and 1.9%(2/104)]. The incidence of hypocalcemia in ileus patients was 31.4%(16/51) preoperatively, which were also higher than those in patients with colorectal cancer [7.4%(52/703)] and patients with gastric cancer [8.7%(9/104)] (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that ileus and emergency surgery were risk factors for patients with preoperative electrolyte imbalance; preoperative electrolyte imbalance was a risk factor for intraoperative electrolyte imbalance; intraoperative electrolyte imbalance was a risk factor for postoperative electrolyte imbalance; preoperative electrolyte imbalance was a risk factor for postoperative imbalance of sodium and potassium. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of electrolyte imbalance is high in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, especially hypocalcemia and hypokalemia. It is necessary to recognize the electrolyte abnormality timely and give active intervention and correction.

The biomolecular mechanisms that regulate tooth root development and odontoblast differentiation are poorly understood. We found that Atp6i deficient mice (Atp6i^-/-) arrested tooth root formation, indicated by truncated Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) progression. Furthermore, Atp6i deficiency significantly reduced the proliferation and differentiation of radicular odontogenic cells responsible for root formation. Atp6i^-/- mice had largely decreased expression of odontoblast differentiation marker gene expression profiles (Col1a1, Nfic, Dspp, and Osx) in the alveolar bone. Atp6i^-/- mice sample RNA-seq analysis results showed decreased expression levels of odontoblast markers. Additionally, there was a significant reduction in Smad2/3 activation, inhibiting transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling in Atp6i^-/- odontoblasts. Through treating pulp precursor cells with Atp6i^-/- or wild-type OC bone resorption-conditioned medium, we found the latter medium to promote odontoblast differentiation, as shown by increased odontoblast differentiation marker genes expression (Nfic, Dspp, Osx, and Runx2). This increased expression was significantly blocked by anti-TGF-β1 antibody neutralization, whereas odontoblast differentiation and Smad2/3 activation were significantly attenuated by Atp6i^-/- OC conditioned medium. Importantly, ectopic TGF-β1 partially rescued root development and root dentin deposition of Atp6i^-/- mice tooth germs were transplanted under mouse kidney capsules. Collectively, our novel data shows that the prevention of TGF-β1 release from the alveolar bone matrix due to OC dysfunction may lead to osteopetrosis-associated root formation via impaired radicular odontoblast differentiation. As such, this study uncovers TGF-β1 /Smad2/3 as a key signaling pathway regulating odontoblast differentiation and tooth root formation and may contribute to future therapeutic approaches to tooth root regeneration.
