OBJECTIVETo construct a lentiviral expression vector of has-miR-338-3p and verify its target gene.

METHODSThe pre-miR-338-3p was synthesized and inserted into pLV-THM, and the recombinant plasmid pLV-THM-miR-338-3p was confirmed by restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequencing. 293T cells were co-transfected with the lentiviral vector pLV-THM-miR-338-3p, psPAX2 and pMD2.G, and the supernatant containing the lentivirus particles was harvested to determine the virus titer and used to infect SW-620 cells. Flow cytometry was employed for sorting the GFP-positive cells. The expression of miR-338-3p was determined using real-time RT-PCR and the expression of SMO protein was detected with Western blotting in the infected SW-620 cells. The invasiveness of the infected SW-620 cells was assessed using Transwell assay.

RESULTSRestriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing demonstrated successful construction of the lentiviral vector pLV-THM-miR-338-3p. SW-620 cells infected with pLV-THM-miR-338-3p showed a significantly increased expression of miR-338-3p, and the overexpression of miR-338-3p suppressed the expression of SMO protein and the invasiveness of the cells.

CONCLUSIONThe successful construction of the lentiviral vector pLV-THM-miR-338-3p and the establishment of a SW-620 cell line with miR-338-3p overexpression provide the basis for further study of the molecular function of miR-338-3p in colorectal carcinoma. MiR-338-3p can suppress SMO gene expression to inhibit the invasiveness of colorectal carcinoma cells.

Objective:To understand the clinical significance and mutation characteristics in the basic core promoters and pre-C region (BCP/PC) of different hepatitis B virus genotypes samples of infected children.Methods:A total of 294 children and 92 adults with CHB infection who were treated at four hospitals in Chongqing from 2011 to 2018 were collected. The BCP / PC region of HBV was amplified by PCR and sequenced directly to comparatively analyze the gene mutation conditions in this region. The two sample means were compared by the t-test, and the nonparametric data was compared by Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. χ2 test or Fisher's exact test was used to compare the data rates of the two groups.Results:Children and adult patients were dominated by genotype B; accounting for 76.9% and 71.7%, respectively, and genotype C accounted for 23.1% and 28.3%, respectively. In the children group, the mutation rates of ten nucleotide sites containing nt 1679, 1721, 1753, 1757, 1758, 1762, 1764, 1775, 1856 and 1858 of the genotype C samples was significantly higher than that of genotype B samples. The mutation rates of G1721a, C1856t and T1858c of genotype C samples were 30.9%, 16.2% and 30.9%, respectively, while the mutation rates of genotype B samples were 0.4%, 0, 0, P < 0.001, respectively. In the adult group, the only three sites containing nt 1679, 1758, and 1775 of the genotype C sample had a higher mutation rate than the genotype B samples. The combined mutations pattern were only detected in children with genotype C samples, but not in children and adult with genotype B samples. Further analysis showed that the age of G1721A/A1775G/T1858C containing combined mutation group was significantly lower than that of the non-mutation group [(4.58 ± 2.53) years vs. (6.53 ± 4.02) years, P = 0.012]. Serum HBV DNA titer was significantly higher in combined mutation group than that of the non-mutation group [(7.57 ± 2.03) log10 copies / ml vs. (6.61 ± 2.11) log10 copies / ml, P = 0.045]. Conclusion:The frequencies of mutations in the BCP/PC region of HBV-infected children in genotype C samples were significantly higher than that of genotype B samples. Genotype-related combined site mutations were only found in children with genotype C samples, and were also associated with younger patients and high HBV-DNA titers.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and cosmetic result of suprapubic single incision laparoscopic surgery(SSILS) in the treatment of rectosigmoid cancer.

METHODSClinicopathological data of 16 patients undergoing SSILS and 122 undergoing conventional laparoscopic surgery(CLS) for sigmoid colon and upper rectal cancer in the Nanfang Hospital from August 2011 to July 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were analyzed with propensity score matching at a ratio of 1 to 2 by logistic regression analysis. The matching covariates included age, gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) score, tumor location, tumor diameter, pathologic TNM stage, previous abdominal surgery. After matching, 48 patients (16 SSILS and 32 CLS) were enrolled in the study. The SSILS group comprised of 13 (81.3%) males with mean age of (56.4±13.4) years. The CLS group comprised of 23(71.9%) males with mean age of (55.6±13.7) years. Postoperative short-term parameters, oncologic efficacy and cosmetic result were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThe male gender ratio, age, body mass index, ASA score, tumor location, tumor diameter, tumor differentiation, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, previous abdominal surgery were comparable between the two groups. As compared to CLS group, less incision length [(4.8±1.5) cm vs. (6.8±1.2) cm, U=63.000, P=0.000], shorter time to ambulation [(2.6±1.0) days vs. (3.9±1.5) days, U=116.500, P=0.002], shorter hospital stay [(8.4±5.3) days vs.(9.2±3.1) days, U=139.000, P=0.010] and less postopertive pain(Visual Analogue Scale: 4.3±1.4 vs. 5.2±1.1 at day 3, t=2.457, P=0.018; 3.7±1.0 vs. 4.6±1.0 at day 4, t=2.700, P=0.010; 3.3±0.8 vs. 4.0±1.0 at day 5, t=2.466, P=0.017) were observed in SSILS group. The other short-term parameters(blood loss, operative time, insertion of additional port rate, time to flatus, defecation, time to liquid and soft diet, complication morbidity, number of lymph nodes harvested, proximal and distal resection margin) were not significantly different between 2 groups(all P>0.05). The median follow-up time was 41(22-49) months. There was no loco-regional recurrence in 2 groups. Distant metastasis was 18.8% (n=3, all liver metastasis) and 6.3% (n=2, one liver metastasis and one peritoneal metastasis) in SSILS and CLS groups (χ(2)=0.698, P=0.404) respectively. Three-year disease-free survival and 3-year overall survival were 81.3% vs 93.0%(χ(2)=1.355, P=0.244) and 100.0% vs 96.9%(χ(2)=0.500, P=0.480) in SSILS and CLS groups, respectively. Photograph questionnaire investigation showed that the cosmetic score was significantly higher in SSILS group than that in CLS group (8.9±1.1 vs. 7.6±1.1, U=100.500, P=0.000). Of 48 patients of 2 groups, 81.3%(39/48) case preferred SSILS.

CONCLUSIONIn experienced laparoscopic treatment centers, SSILS for rectosigmoid cancer is feasible and safe with quite good oncological efficacy and certain advantages, such as fast recovery, less pain and better cosmetic result.
