Objective:To observe the expression of microRNA (miRNA, miR) -7850 in renal cancer tissues, and to explore the effect of miR-7850 on the proliferation and migration of renal cancer cells and on the regulation of serine proteinase inhibitor B3 (SERPINB3) gene expression.Methods:Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-7850 in renal cancer tissues and renal cancer cell lines. The renal cell carcinoma cell line with the lowest expression of miR-7850 was selected, and the negative control sequence (miR-NC) and miR-7850 mimics were transfected into renal cell carcinoma cells by Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent, respectively, which were defined as miR-NC group and miR-7850 group. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-7850 in transfected renal cancer cells. The cell proliferation and migration ability after transfection were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method and transwell experiment. Bioinformatics prediction and dual luciferase reporter gene experiments were used to verify the target gene of miR-7850. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of target genes in renal cancer cells after transfection.Results:Compared with adjacent tissues (5.95±0.44), the expression of miR-7850 in kidney cancer tissues (1.19±0.33) was lower ( P<0.01). Compared with immortalized proximal renal tubular epithelial cells (1.01±0.07), the expression of miR-7850 was lower in renal cancer cell lines ( P<0.05), and the lowest in A498 cells (0.13±0.01) ( P<0.01). The expression of miR-7850 in the miR-7850 group (7.46±0.93) was significantly higher than that in the miR-NC group (1.01±0.08) ( P<0.01), indicating successful transfection. Compared with the miR-NC group, the cell proliferation ability of the miR-7850 group was significantly reduced ( P<0.05). The number of migrating cells in miR-NC group and miR-7850 group were (139.50±12.31) and (75.09±16.05) cells, respectively, and the cell migration ability in miR-7850 group decreased significantly ( P<0.01). Bioinformatics technology shows that the target gene of miR-7850 was SERPINB3. The dual luciferase reporter gene experiment confirmed that miR-7850 can target the SERPINB3 gene ( P<0.05). Compared with the miR-NC group, the expression of SERPINB3 in cells of miR-7850 group was significantly reduced ( P<0.05), as well as the CDK4, CyclinD, Snail and Vimentin. Conclusions:miR-7850 is lowly expressed in renal cancer tissues and cell lines. miR-7850 can inhibit the proliferation and migration of renal cancer A498 cells, which may be related to its inhibition of SERPINB3 gene expression.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the engraftment, transplant-related complications and survival after unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in patients with hematologic malignancies. Methods Fifty consecutive patients with hematological malignancies (median age, 19 years; median weight, 53 kg) were treated with UCBT in single center from April 2000 to August 2009. Thirty-nine patients were high-risk or refractory. Double UCB grafts were used for 26 patients, while single UCB graft for 24 patients. Myeloablative conditioning was given to 45 cases and non-myeloablative regimens to 5 cases. All patients were given a combination of cyclosporin A (CsA) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Results The median total nucleated cell (TNC) dose was 4.0 (range, 1.95-16.24)×10~7 TNC/ kginfused, and CD34~+ cell dose was 2.74(range, 0.67-29.28)×10~5/kginfused. Forty-two of 50 patients acquired engraftment with implantation rate being 86%. The median time to engraftment (absolute neutrophil count>500/mm~3 and platelets 20 000/L) was 19 and 34 days. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment by day 42 was 86.3%(95% confidence interval [CI] 0.769-0.957); the cumulative incidence of platelets engraftment by day 120 was 72.3% (95% CI 0.620-0.821). Twenty cases developed acute GVHD, and the incidence of acute GVHD of grades Ⅲ/Ⅳ by day 100 was 7.1%. The incidence of chronic GVHD within 2 years was 17.4%. During a median follow-up period of 22 months (range 4-116), Overall 6-month, 1-year and 2-year survival rate was 66.2%(95% CI 0.590-0.734), 57.4%(95% CI 0.496-0.652), 54.2%(95% CI 0.462-0.622), respectively. For the patients with non-advanced hemotologic malignancies, 6-month, 1-year and 2-year survival rate was 73.2% (95% CI 0.659-0.805), 66.1% (95% CI 0.579-0.743), and 62.2% (95% CI 0.542-0.682) respectively. Five cases relapsed. The cumulative incidence of relapse within 2 years was 16.2% (95% CI 0.099-0.225). Twenty-one cases died mainly due to infection. Conclusion UCBT could be safely and effectively used for adult patients with hematologic malignancies.

Objective To investigate the immunological effects of thymoglobulin (RATG) on human CD4+and CD8+cells for costimulatory molecule gene expression and the production ofimmune-regulatory cytokines. Methods CD4+and CI8+T cells were isolated and purified fromnormal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) followed by incubation with RATG at37℃. Cells and culture supematants were collected at 24, 48, and 72 h after incubation, and analyzedby real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for CTLA-4, CD154, forkhead box P3(Foxp3), OX40, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-10 and CD25 gene expression, and multiplex cytokine detectionassay for IFN-y, IL-2, IL-10, and IL-4 production. Untreated and rabbit isotype Ig-treated cells wereused as negative controls. Results RT-PCR demonstrated that RATG pre-treated CI+and CD8+cells upregulated the expression of CTLA-4, OX40, Foxp3, CD25, IFN-γ, IL-10 and IL-2 genes, anda dramatic increase of supernatant IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-2 and IL-4 was revealed 24 h after treatment asdetermined by multiplex cytokine detection assay when compared with negative controls. Theupre gulation of CTLA-4, Foxp3, OX40, IL-10 and CD25 was reduced, and a down-regulation ofCD154 and IL-2 gene expression was revealed 48 h after treatment. Cells, treated with RATG for 72h, demonstrated up-regulation of CTLA-4, Foxp3, OX40, IFN-y and CD25 gene expression, and theexpression of IL-2 and IL-10 genes was down-regulated. Additionally, supernatant IFN-γ, IL-2,IL-10 and IL-4 levels were decreased. Conclusion RATG stimulates CI4/CD8 T cells to up-regulatecostimulatory molecules and release immune regulation associated cytokines IF'N-γ, IL-2, IL-10in vitro. These results suggest that the unique effect of RATG on CD4+CD8+T cells may be animportant mechanism for its action in inducing immunoregulation, immunosuppression and transplanttolerance.

BACKGROUND:At present, there are many researches about repairing articular cartilage defects. In particular, the microfracture technique has been widely used. OBJECTIVE:To observe recovery of knee joint motor function and morphological changes in tissue repair during articular cartilage defects with different directions (coronal position and sagittal position). METHODS:Articular cartilage fracture models with 2 mm-thick medial femoral condyles of rabbit knee joint were established. According to incision directions, models were assigned to coronal and sagittal groups. At 5, 10 and 20 weeks after model induction, general observation was performed. Specimens were sliced into paraffin sections, and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining and col agen staining. Tissue repair at the articular cartilage defects was observed using optical microscope and immunohistochemical method. After model induction, range of motion of rabbit joints was regularly examined in the two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A white line was seen across the femoral condyles at defects in the two groups. Articular surface at defect repair was at the level of in situ cartilage, and reached a bone union. Knee joint treated by operation did not affect function. Under light microscope, partial reconstruction of subchondral bone was seen in the two groups, mainly fibrocartilage repair. The level of bony remodeling was lower than tidal line of adjacent in situ cartilage. Immunohistochemical method exhibited that type I col agen staining gradual y reduced at defects of specimens, but type II col agen staining gradual y increased. These results suggested that there was no significant difference in the recovery of motor function of knee joint and the repair of articular cartilage with different directions (coronal and sagittal position).

Objective To investigate the effects of three laparoscopic bariatric operations on relieving type 2 diabetes in morbid obese patients. Methods From 2005 to 2009, 15 morbid obese patients with type 2 diabetes received bariatric operations in Shengjing Hospital including lapband operation (7 cases) , sleeve gastrectomy (7 cases) and gastric bypass(4 cases). All patients were followed up for more than 1 year. Results All patients recovered without major complications. Body weight decreased and BMI was respectively (27. 6 ± 2. 0) kg/m2, ( 26. 9 ± 1. 4) kg/m2 and (27. 5 ± 3. 0) kg/m21 year after operation. The excess BMI loss in three groups were (76. 4% ± 6. 8% ) , (83. 7% ± 4. 6% ), (85. 7% ±9. 5% ) 1 year after operation. On the other side, the fasting glucose levels and glycohemoglobin in gastric bypass group were much lower than that in other two groups. Conclusion All these operations were effective in controling the weights and fasting glucose levels, while the gastric bypass method is better than other two methods in weight and serum glucose control. Sleeve gastrectomy was better in weight and glucose control than lap band operation.
