Objective To investigate the effect of radial artery calcification (RAC) on survival of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and the patients in end?stage renal disease. Methods Adult ESRD patients undergoing AVF surgery between January 2013 and January 2016 at the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat?sen University were enrolled in this study. The clinical and biochemical data were collected. Segment of radial artery were obtained from the operation of AVF. RAC at the site of anastomotic were observed by alizarin red S and hematoxylin and eosin staining. According to RAC, the patients were divided into calcification group and non?calcification group. Kaplan?Meier analysis was performed to analyze the survival rates of the two groups, and Cox proportional hazards regression——model was used to estimate the risk factors of AVF dysfunction and all?cause mortality in ESRD patients. Results Among 180 cases of ESRD patients, 38 cases (21.1%) were developed RAC at the site of anastomotic in different degrees. Compared with the non?calcification groups, the calcification groups had a longer dialysis vintage, a higher proportion of diabetes and higher level of HbAlc (all P﹤0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that dialysis vintage>5 years and diabetics were two independent risk factors of RAC at the site of anastomotic. Kaplan?Meier survival analysis demonstrated that there were no statistical differences between two groups in AVF survival (χ2=0.009, P=0.926). Calcification group had higher all?cause mortality than non?calcification groups (χ2=9.809, P=0.002). Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that homocysteine was independent risk factor for AVF dysfunction (HR=1.027, 95%CI: 1.003-1.051, P=0.027). Age was independent risk factor for all?cause mortality (HR=1.078, 95%CI: 1.035-1.122, P=0.000). Conclusions Dialysis vintage>5 years and diabetes were two independent risk factors of RAC at the site of anastomotic in ESRD patients. RAC at the site of anastomotic had no effect on AVF survival, but increased all?cause mortality.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of endoscopic resection of gastric stromal tumors with a diameter of >2-4 cm.Methods:The clinical data of 307 patients, who underwent endoscopic or surgical resection and pathologically confirmed to be gastric stromal tumors with a diameter ≤4 cm in Fujian Provincial Hospital, Jinshan Branch of Fujian Provincial Hospital or Fujian Geriatric Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019, were collected. The propensity score matching (1∶1) was performed for the cases with the tumor size of >2-4 cm.Then the incidence of adverse events related to the operation and clinical outcomes were compared between 41 patients in the endoscopic group and 41 patients in the surgical group.Results:Compared with the surgical group, the median operation time in the endoscopic group was significantly shorter (58.0 min VS 108.0 min, Z=-4.789, P<0.001), and the median hospitalization cost was significantly lower (22.7 thousand yuan VS 42.0 thousand yuan, Z=-7.164, P<0.001). There were no significant differences in postoperative fasting time or postoperative hospitalization time between the two groups ( P>0.05). Complications occurred in 7 cases (17.1%) in the endoscopy group, including 5 cases of postoperative acute infection, 1 case of postoperative perforation, and 1 case of postoperative bleeding; all 9 cases (22.0%) in the surgical group developed postoperative acute infection. There was no significant difference in the overall incidence of complications between the two groups ( χ2=0.311, P=0.577). Tumors in both groups were completely removed with negative resection margins. The follow-up time of the endoscopy group was 34.3±15.6 months, and that of the surgical group was 42.2±20.2 months. No recurrence or distant metastasis was observed during the follow-up period in the two groups. Conclusion:Endoscopic resection of large gastric stromal tumor (range>2-4 cm) is safe and effective in the long term, which can be used as one of the methods for gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of microRNA-4298 (miR-4298) targeting inhibition of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PADI4) expression in U251 cells apoptosis induced by histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA).Methods:The experiment was divided into TSA group (0.2 μmol/L TSA) and contral group. CCK8 method was used to detect the effect of TSA on the proliferation of U251 cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis level of U251 cells after drug action. Reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting experiments were used to determine the changes of PADI4 gene and protein expression after miR-4298 interference. Luciferase assay was used to determine the effects of miR-4298 on targeted binding and luciferase activity in the 3′UTR region of PADI4. U251 cells were transfected with PADI4 to observe the rescue effect of miR-4298 on apoptosis. Each experiment was divided into 3 groups, NC group, miR-4298 mimic group, TSA+ miR-4298 mimic group and NC group, miR-4298 inhibitor group, TSA+ miR-4298 inhibitor group.Results:U251 cells were treated with 0.2 μmol/L TSA for 4 days, the Absorbancy ( A) values of the control group was 1.168±0.148, which was higher than those of the TSA group (0.737±0.007), with statistically significant difference ( t=4.948, P=0.008). Compared with the control group, after treatment with 0.2 μmol/L TSA for 48 h, U251 cells showed obvious apoptosis (27.62%±3.49% vs. 4.99%±0.13%, t=11.190, P<0.001). Compared with those before the drug treatment, the PADI4 gene expression (0.386±0.020 vs. 0.903±0.021) and protein expression (0.276±0.041 vs. 0.777±0.031) after TSA treatment for 48 h both were decreased, with statistically significant differences ( t=30.400, P<0.001; t=16.770, P<0.001). The expression of miR-4298 during the process of TSA-induced U251 cell apoptosis increased (2.573±0.289 vs. 1.003±0.136; t=8.487, P=0.001). There was a negative correlation between the miR-4298 expression and PADI4 expression ( r=-0.877, P=0.002). Luciferase experiment confirmed that miR-4298 has targeted binding and luciferase inhibitory effects on the 3′UTR region of wild-type PADI4. Compared with NC group (0.920±0.026), the relative expression levels of PADI4 gene of miR-4298 mimic group (0.413±0.049) and TSA+ miR-4298 mimic group (0.213±0.035) were decreased, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). The PADI4 protein expression level change was consistent with the gene change trend. Compared with NC group (3.78%±0.68%), the apoptosis levels of miR-4298 mimic group (7.96%±1.10%) and TSA+ miR-4298 mimic group (13.74%±1.26%) were increased, with statistically significant differences ( P=0.005; P<0.001). Compared with NC group (0.183±0.025), the PADI4 gene expression of miR-4298 inhibitor group (0.483±0.032) and TSA+ miR-4298 inhibitor group (0.386±0.025) were increased, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.001; P=0.015). The PADI4 protein expression level change was consistent with the gene change trend. Compared with NC group (4.96%±0.59%), the apoptosis levels of miR-4298 inhibitor group (23.83%±2.20%) and TSA+ miR-4298 inhibitor group (9.55%±1.49%) were increased, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). In the rescue experiment, the expression level of PADI4 in miR-4298 mimic group was significantly increased ( P<0.001), while the expression level of PADI4 in miR-4298 mimic+ PADI4 group was relatively reversed ( P=0.002). Conclusion:miR-4298 can participate in the process of U251 cell apoptosis by targeting the expression of PADI4 gene, and miR-4298 may be the target of targeted intervention therapy for glioma.

Objective:To evaluate the adjuvant role of the eCura scoring system in selecting appropriate treatment strategies after non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of early gastric cancer (EGC) patients.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 110 EGC patients who underwent non-curative ESD at Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2015 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the eCura score, patients were divided into three lymph node metastasis (LNM) risk groups: low-risk group (79 cases), middle-risk group (22 cases), and high-risk group (9 cases). The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to test the diagnostic efficacy of eCura scoring system in predicting LNM. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influence of risk stratification of eCura scoring system on LNM. Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate cancer survival rate, which was then compared with log-rank test.Results:Thirty-five patients underwent additional standard surgery after ESD, including 22 in the low-risk group, 8 in the middle-risk group, and 5 in the high-risk group. Among them, 5 cases had LNM, including 1 case in the low-risk group and the middle-risk group respectively and 3 cases in the high-risk group. The area under the ROC curve was 0.857 (95% CI: 0.697-0.952, P=0.001), and when the cut-off value of the eCura score was set at 3, the Yuden index reached the maximum value of 0.7, with the corresponding sensitivity and specificity of 80% and 90%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of LNM in the middle-risk group was about 3.00 times (95% CI: 0.17-54.57, P=0.458) as high as that in the low-risk group, and the probability of LNM in the high-risk group was about 31.50 times (95% CI: 2.14-463.14, P=0.012) of that in the low-risk group. The follow-up time was 12 to 58 months, and the median follow-up time was 40 months. There were 10 cases of recurrence, including 4 cases in the low-risk group, 3 cases in the middle-risk group and 3 cases in the high-risk group, of which 2 cases in the low-risk group were from those of additional standard surgery after ESD, and the remaining 8 cases were from those who did not receive additional standard surgery after ESD. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the survival rate of patients with additional surgery in the low-risk group was similar to that of patients without ( P=0.319), and the survival rate of patients with additional surgery in the middle-risk group was also similar to that of patients without ( P=0.296). The survival rate of patients with additional surgery in the high-risk group was significantly higher than that of those without ( P=0.013). Conclusion:The eCura scoring system can assist the selection of treatment strategies after non-curative resection of EGC, and can accurately predict the risk of subsequent LNM and recurrence. Close follow-up may be an acceptable option for patients with low risk of LNM, and additional standard surgical treatment may be more conducive to improving the prognosis in patients with high risk of LNM.

Moschus chrysogaster (sifanicus) viral hemorrhagic disease (McVHD) is an acute and highly lethal infectious disease caused by Moschus chrysogaster hemorrhagic disease virus (McHDV) whose genome sequence is highly homologous with rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus. To screen the protective antigen of McHDV and set the basis for study of McVHD vaccine, the antigen epitope of major structural protein VP60 of McHDV was analyzed, and the specific primers were designed to obtain three amplified DNA sequences encoding the main antigen epitope of VP60 from McHDV by using RT-PCR. Then the three DNA fragments were sequenced and cloned to prokaryotic expression vector with pET-28a(+) by using overlap extension PCR, and finally the prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-truncated-VP60 was constructed. Subsequently, the pET-truncated-VP60 was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and the recombinant proteins were expressed by IPTG induction. Finally, the expressed protein was purified and applied to immunize that without immunizing with RHD vaccine, then the antiserum titers were evaluated by the hemagglutination inhibition test, and the immune-protective efficacy of the recombinant proteins was observed and analyzed through animal challenge test. The results showed that the multi-epitope DNA fragments of VP60 of McHDV was successfully expressed in the form of inclusion bodies in E. coli, and the relative molecular weight of recombinant proteins is about 45 kDa. After immunized with the recombinant proteins, 100% of New Zealand white rabbits were resistant to attack of McHDV, which indicates efficient immune-protective efficacy of chosen epitope recombinant protein. The study laid a foundation for the development of the new subunit vaccines of McVHD.
