Objective This study was aimed to determine the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-11 ( MMP-11 ) and MMP-12 in cervical cancer and the relationship between their expression with clinicopathological characteristics and the potential use as a prognostic and therapeutic agent.Methods Streptavidin-biotin-protein-linked peroxidase method(ie,SP) immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of MMP-11,MMP-12 in 20 cases of normal cervical tissue,36 cases of CIN tissue,g0 cases of cervical cancer.MMP-11 and 12 expression in cervical cancer and clinicopathological parameters of relevance were analyzed,and the relationship between MMP-1 1,-12 was studied in the development of cervical cancer for a preliminary study.Results The positive expression rate (82.50％,g1.25％ )of MMP-11 and-12 in cervical cancer was significantly higher than that of cervical dysplasia ( CIN ) specimens ( 69.44％,61.11％ ) and normal cervical tissues(5.00％,0),the difference was statistically significant ( P ＜0.05).(2)The expression of MMP-11 and-12 in cervical histological grade,clinical depth of stromal infiltration,with or without vascular invasion,with or without lymph stage,node metastasis was different.The difference was statistically significant ( P ＜0.05).(3)MMP-11 and-12 expression was significantly correlated.Conclusions The expression of MMP-11and-12 in cervical cancer tissues prompts that MMP-11 and-12 plays a central role in the course of invasion and metastasis of cervical carcinoma.MMP-11 and-12 joint detection may have a reference value in terms of the inchoate diagnosis of the cervical cancer,the evaluation and prognosis of tumor malignances degree.

Objective: To investigate the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis of flavonoids [diosmetin-7-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-D-glucopyranoside, DXG)] from Gallium verum on liver cancer cell HepG2 and to study its mechanisms. Methods: Cell growth was detected with Trypan blue staining. The proliferation inhibition rates of DXG on HepG2 were measured by MTT assay. The morphology changes of apoptotic cell were obserbed by AO-EB double staining. Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to detect the DNA fragmentation. The expression of apoptosis-related genes bax and bcl-2 was examined by RT-PCR. Results: DXG (50, 100, and 200 μg/mL) could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells by Trypan blue staining and MTT assay compared with the control group (P < 0.05). AO-EB double staining showed that DXG could induce the apoptosis and morphological change of HepG2 cells and the ratios of apoptosis were obviously high when the concentration of DXG increased. The laddering pattern was clearly presented in the cells treated with 100 and 200 μg/mL DXG for 48 h. RT-PCR showed that DXG could up-regulate the mRNA level of bax and down-regulate the mRNA levels of bcl-2 in HepG2 cells. Conclusion: DXG could obviously inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis in HepG2 cells. The mechanism is related to the modulation of the expression level of bax/bcl-2 mRNA.

Objective:To investigate the effect of CCN1 on the chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-FU .Methods:Colon cancer and adjacent tissues, colon cancer cells and normal colon epithelial cells, HCT-116 and HCT-116/5/FU cells were collected, and the SCD1 mRNA expression levels were detected by RT-qPCR; HCT-116 cells were cultured and transfected with pcDNA3.1 and CCN1 expression vectors, or infected with shNC and shCCN1 lentivirus, CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell sensitivity to 5-FU, Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to detect SCD1 mRNA expression, and oil red O staining was used to detect the lipid content. Western blot was used to detect the distribution of transcription factor FoxO1 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. The effect of CCN1 and FoxO1 on the transcriptional activity of SCD1 promoter was detected by luciferase assay.Results:Compared with control group, the expression of SCD1 was up-regulated in colon cancer tissues, cell lines and HCT-116/5-FU cells (all P<0.05); overexpression of CCN1 reduced the sensitivity to 5-FU, increased intracellular lipid deposition, and up-regulated the expression of SCD1 ( P<0.05); Knockdown of CCN1 increased the sensitivity to 5-FU, reduced intracellular lipid content and down-regulate the expression level of SCD1 ( P<0.05); CCN1 can promote FoxO1 nuclear distribution, activation or inhibition of FoxO1 activity can promote or up-regulate SCD1 expression level and promoter activity ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CCN1 may up-regulate the expression of SCD1 by activating FoxO1 activity and inhibit the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-FU.

Objective To identify the pathogen of an influenza epidemic situation and analyze the genetic characteristic of hemagglutinin( HA ) gene and neuraminidase(NA) gene of this pathogen. Methods Real-time RT-PCR was used to dectect nucleic acid of the pandemic( H1N1 ) 2009 virus from oropharyngeal swabs of initial influenza-like illness in epidemic. The viruses were was inoculated and isolated with embryonated eggs. And the HA gene and NA gene were sequenced to analyze their characteristic. Results The influenza epidemic situation was caused by the pandemic( H1N1 ) 2009 virus. The HA and NA sequences data showed that the virus had the high homology with reference virus, and the NA sequences had not the H274Y mutation. Conclusion In this study, the pandemic( H1N1 ) 2009 virus were similar with the vaccine-like virus and the isolated virus of China, and sensitive to oseltamivir.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the recent cluster outbreaks of imported malaria and explore the risks, challenges and countermeasures for dealing with such events during malaria post-elimination era of malaria, and to provide reference for effectively addressing the risks and consolidating the achievements of malaria elimination. Methods　The individual malaria case data from "The Information System for Infectious Disease Surveillance" and "The Information System For Parasitic Diseases Prevention And Control" were collected，and the diagnosis classification, infection source, time and space distribution of cases were analyzed. Results　From January 1 to August 11, 2022, a total of 429 malaria cases were reported nationwide, an 18.9% decrease compared to the same period last year (529 cases), all of which were imported cases. The overall weekly trend of the outbreak remained stable, but since Week 31 (July 25-31), there has been a significant increase in the number of cases, with a peak on August 5. From July 25 to August 11, 2022, a total of 162 malaria cases were reported nationwide, up 315.4% from 39 cases in the same period last year, accounting for 37.8% of the total cases up to August 11, 2022. The main source of imported infections was Guinea (95 cases, 58.6%), with most cases reported in Longgang District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province (30 cases), Shilin County, Kunming City, Yunnan Province (21 cases), Chaoyang District, Beijing (11 cases), and Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province (7 cases). Conclusions　Due to the concentration of returnees to China, several entry port cities simultaneously experienced cluster outbreaks of imported malaria, which brought immense pressure and challenges to local medical and health institutions. Health facilities at all levels need to maintain high vigilance and sensitivity, be well prepared, and avoid death and secondary transmission caused by imported cases.

Objective To evaluate the performance of Cys C results among two detection system.Methods The particle-enhanced immunonephrometic assay was used in Dade Behring BNII. Immunoturbic assay was used in Hitachi 7170 to evaluate the JING' YUAN reagents.We compared the precison,linearity,interference,correlation,and calibrators agreement with Dade Behring BNII.Results The total CV of the samples that contain 0.6-5.0 mg/L was less than 10%.The Dade Behring and JING'YUAN method showed good linearity.Haemoglobin(10 g/L),Bilirubin(300 mg/L), Vitamin C(5 g/L)in the tested sample had no significant interference in the assay(interference 0.05) between JING' YUAN and Dade Behring reagents.Values were slightly lower than that from the Dade Behring BNII method,the mean bias was-0.16.The bias range was 1.1%-23% between JING'YUAN and Dade Behring for one sample.Conclusions The precision,linearity and interference test were suitable for routine Cys C measurement on automated biochemistry analyzer,but results has bias.
