Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2015;(11):1570-1573,1574
Objective To investigate the effect of overexpression of miRNA-4465 on invasion and metastasis of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and its mechanism.Methods MiRNA-4465 minics was transfected into the MDA-MB-231 cells,and real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miRNA-4465.Transwell assay was used to investigate the migration and invasion capability of cells after being transfected.Bioinformatics analysis were performed to predict the potential targets of miRNA-4465,and finally,luciferase reporter plasmids assay and west-ern blot was used to confirm the potential target of miRNA-4465.Results Comparing with negative control group, the expression of miRNA-4465 in miRNA-4465 minics group was increased significantly.Transwell migration assay showed that migration capability of cells in miRNA-4465 minics group was decreased(P =0.001);transwell inva-sion assay showed that invasion capability of cells in miRNA-4465 minics group was decreased(P =0.010).Lucif-erase reporter plasmids assay showed that comparing with the negative control +psiCHECK2-EZH2 3’UTR(wild type),the fluorescence activity of miRNA-4465 minics +psiCHECK2-EZH2 3’UTR(wild type)was decreased by 66%(P =0.001).Moreover,comparing with the negative control group,the expression of EZH2 protein was de-creased after transfecting miRNA-4465 minics into MDA-MB-231 cells.Conclusion MiRNA-4465 can suppress the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells,which may be related to the regulation of EZH2.

Objective:To investigate the effect of cPLA 2(cytosolic PLA 2, 85-kD PLA 2) on the signaling pathways of IL-1?、IL-6 release in LPS induced Hela cells.Methods:①LPS stimulated Hela cells were exposed to the complex of cPLA 2 initiation site-directed antisense oligonucleotide and liposome in the indicated doses and time, and then,analyzed the changes of cPLA 2 both in mRNA and in protein by RT-PCR and Western blot.②At the same time, the supernatants were collected to detect the level of IL-1? and IL-6 under radioimmunoassay(RIA).Results:①The transfection led to a dose-dependent decrease in cPLA 2 protein, while the change of mRNA is not notable.②The levels of IL-1?、IL-6 in the transfected cells were reduced following the repression of cPLA 2 compared with that of LPS added only.Conclusion:cPLA 2 probably plays an important role in the signaling mechanisms on IL-1?、IL-6 release in LPS-induced Hela cell.

Objective To observe the level of serum IFN-2? in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS). Methods The level of serum IFN-2? in 66 patients with SARS were measured by RIA, and healthy subjects served as control. Results The results showed that level of serum IFN-2? in patients with SARS in active period were significantly higher than that in control, and level of serum IFN-2? in severe type of patients with SARS either rose or fell. Conclusions The change of serum IFN-2? level indicated that cellular immunity participated in immunoreaction to SARS virus. The change of IFN-2? level in severe type of patients with SARS reflected the difference of immunoreaction in the patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy objectively and systematically between endoscopic and microscopic surgery for transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma by a Meta-analysis.Methods A systematic literature search of Medline,the Cochrane Library,the Web of Science and the Google Scholar were performed to recruit studies between January,1990 and May,2015 that compared endoscopic and microscopic approaches in the treatment of pituitary adenomas.A Meta-analysis(R-3.1.3) was conducted to estimate the effect of different operative procedures.Results A total of 22 studies including 3 randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trails and 19 case-control studies met the inclusion criteria.Among 1421 patients studied,733 of them were treated with endoscopic and 688 were treated with microscopic surgery.The rate of gross tumor removal was higher in patients who underwent endoscopic surgery (71%) than those who underwent microscopic surgery (56%)(P < 0.05).The rate of remission of hypersecretion was also higher in patients who underwent endoscopic surgery(60%) than those who underwent microscopic surgery(54%),but the difference was not significantly(P > 0.05).Conclusion The present study indicates that the endoscopic transsphenoidal approach is more effective than microscopic surgery in the treatment of pituitary adenomas.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of endovascular embolism in treating aneurysms located at the bifurcation of middle cerebral artery. Methods During the period from Jan. 2009 to May 2013 at authors’ hospital, a total of 21 patients with intracranial aneurysms located at the bifurcation of middle cerebral artery were treated with interventional embolization. Of the 21 cases , steel coils were used in 7, stent-assistant embolization was adopted in 12, and dual-microcatheter technique was employed in 2. The results were analyzed. Results Postoperative angiography showed that complete embolization of the aneurysm was achieved in 14 patients, residual neck was detected in 2 patients and subtotal obliteration of the aneurysm was seen in 5 patients. Procedure-related complications occurred in 2 patients, including cerebral bleeding during operation (n = 1) and postoperative small area cerebral infarction. Seventeen patients were followed up for 6 months, and follow-up angiography showed that no recurrence of aneurysm was seen. Conclusion For un-ruptured, or ruptured with no big hematoma, intracranial aneurysms located at the bifurcation of middle cerebral artery, endovascular interventional embolization is the treatment of choice.

Objective:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of other infectious diarrhea (OID) in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2013 to 2023, so as to provide the basis for formulating of prevention and control measures for OID.
Methods:
Data of OID in Huzhou City from 2013 to 2023 were collected from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Epidemiological and etiological characteristics of OID cases were analyzed using a descriptive epidemiological method.
Results:
A total of 111 455 cases of OID were reported in Huzhou City from 2013 to 2023, with an average annual reported incidence of 331.82/105, showing a decreasing trend (P<0.05). The peak incidence of OID was reported from July to August and from November to February of the following year, primarily due to bacterial and viral pathogens, respectively. Changxing County had the highest reported incidence of OID (660.62/105), while Anji County had the lowest (188.92/105). Among the reported cases, 58 259 were male and 53 196 were female, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.10∶1. The highest incidence was observed in children aged under 1 year (4 545.70/105). The majority of cases were scattered children, with 36 933 cases (33.14%). There were 22 639 cases with clear pathogens, and rotavirus was the most common, with 16 953 cases (74.88%).
Conclusions
The overall incidence of OID in Huzhou City showed a decreasing trend from 2013 to 2023. OID peaked in summer and winter and was primarily observed in children aged 1 year below and scattered children. Rotavirus infection was the dominant etiology.

In the traditional P300 brain-computer interface (BCI) system, the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals can only provide limited information with a low signal-to-noise ratio. A BCI paradigm under visual stimulus was proposed in our study aiming to effectively activate the related brain areas and response signal while dealing with specific cognitive task (mental arithmetic task), so as to enhance the EEG signals. The result was compared with the traditional P300 counting task paradigm. Then the collected EEG data were preprocessed including extracting signal features with coherent averaging method, and analyzing the influences of different experimental paradigms on main components of event related potential (ERP). In the improved paradigm experiments the average increasing rate of P300 amplitude was 6. 83MV (73. 94%). The brain activity from 400ms was more active and lasted longer. Besides, unlike traditional counting task, mental arithmetic task appeared to have apparent activation at 650ms. The results showed that the improved paradigm could activate the related brain areas better and enhance the characteristics of signal. This provides a new system paradigm for BCI.
