Objective To explore the correlation and role of E2F3 gene,miR-17-5p and miR-20a in the cell lines of transitional cell carcinoma of bladder. Methods The plasmids of pcDNA3.1-HA-E2F3 and pAAV-siRNA-E2F3 were used to overexpress and knockdown E2F3.The mimics of miR-17-5p,miR-20a and their anti-miRNA oligonucleotides were used to overexpress and screen miR-17-5p and miR-20a.The expression levels of E2F3 gene,miR-17-5p and miR-20a were detected by quantitative real-time PCR,and E2F3 protein were detected by Western blot. Results When E2F3 was overexpressed,the 2- △△Ct of miR-17-5p and miR-20a were 2.26 ± 0.30 and 4.04 ± 0.51,it was statistically significant to compared with control (P ＜ 0.05) ; when E2F3 was knockdown,the 2 △△Ct of miR-17-5p and miR-20a were 0.49 ± 0.02and 0.65 ± 0.04 (P ＜ 0.05) ; when miR-17-5p and miR-20a were overexpressed simultaneously,the level of E2F3 mRNA was significantly decreased,the average E2F3 protein gray scale was 55.31 ± 7.89,the control was 103.67 ± 13.61 (P ＜ 0.05 ) ; when miR-17-5p and miR-20a were knockdown simultaneously,the E2F3 mRNA was significantly increased,the E2F3 protein gray scale was 295.68 ± 19.25,the control was 103.67 ± 13.61 ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions miR-17-5p and miR-20a could be up-regulated by E2F3 gene,and the E2F3 gene could be down-regulated by miR-17-5p and miR-20a.The regulatory feedback loop of E2F3 gene,miR-17-5p and miR-20a exists in transitional cell carcinoma of bladder. The loop maybe plays a key role in the development of bladder cancer.

Objectiv e:To investigate the effect of different culture conditions on the differentiation of Treg and Th17 to lay a foundation for exploring the methods to reverse the immune tolerance induced by tumor microenvironment.Methods:The IL-6 gene was cloned and stablely transferred into the tumor cell line expressing TGF-β.The conditioned mediums ( CM) were prepared by collecting the culture supernatants of tumor cell lines with or without IL-6 expression and used in the in vitro culture of peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMC ) .The changes of Treg and Th17 in PBMC treated with different CM were detected with flow cytometry ( FCM) .Results:The expression of TGF-βin BEL-7402 was higher than that in HepG2.Thus the BEL-7402 was selected for preparation of cell line stablely transfected with IL -6 gene.ELISA detection confirmed the effective expression of IL -6 by the identified cell lines.It was showed that the Treg increased in PBMC treated with culture supernatants of tumor cells .However,the presence of IL-6 reversed the increase of Treg and promoted the differentiation of Th 17.Conclusion: The culture supernatants of tumor cells increases the proportion of Treg.However,the presence of IL-6 in this CM can reverse the increase of Treg and raise the proportion of Th 17.

Objective To study the sleep improvement function of DHA-PC.Methods The mice were randomly divid-ed into control, vehicle, DHA+Lecithin (60+200 mg/kg) and DHA-PC(50,100,200 mg/kg) groups.Ten mice were enrolled in each group .The mice of control were administered with normal food , the vehicle group was orally given normal saline at the dosage of 0.2 ml/10 g, while both DHA-PC and DHA+Lecithin were orally given corresponding drugs at the dosage of 0.2 ml/10 g.All the groups were treated for 30 days except control group .The direct sleep-inducing test, the test of lengthening sleep time induced by pentobarbital sodium , the test of pentobarbital sodium subthreshold-hypnosis and the test of barbital sodium sleep latency were conducted to observe the inductive effect of DHA -PC.Results Neither the effect on mice body mass nor directly-induced sleep was observed .DHA-PC (50,100, and 200 mg/kg) could prolong sleep time to (56.2 ±13.7),(57.9 ±25.4) and(64.1 ±18.4) min, respectively,compared to vehicle(32.9 ±10.8)min (P<0.05).DHA+Lecithin could not prolong sleep time (38.6 ±11.7)min compared to (32.9 ±10.8)min of vehicle.There was significant difference compared with DHA-PC at the dosage of 200 mg/kg (64.1 ±18.4)min (P<0.05).DHA-PC (200 mg/kg) enhanced pentobarbital sodium subthreshold-hypnosis (70%) compared to vehicle (10%) (P<0.05),so did DHA+Lecithin (60%) compared to vehicle (10%) (P<0.05).Both DHA-PC (200 mg/kg)[(22.9 ±4.1)min ] and DHA+Lecithin [(19.5 ±2.7) min ]could shorten sleep latency compared to vehicle (31.3 ±6.9) min(P<0.01), and the sleep latency of DHA +Lecithin (19.5 ±2.7) min was shorter than that of DHA-PC(50,100 mg/kg).Conclusion DHA-PC has some effect some sleep improvement in mice .

Objective To analyze the mechanism of interaction between cardiac and renal failure and observe the protective effects of Zhenwu decoction on cardio-renal syndrome rats. Methods The rats were divided into five groups: Sham group, MI (myocardial infarction) group, MI merger STNx group, MI intervention group, MI merger STNx intervention group. The first three groups were fed with saline (NS) for two weeks after surgery. The latter two groups of rats were fed with an equal volume of Zhenwu decoction. The cardiac function of rats in each group were evaluated , including the mass of heart , left ventricle and left kidney weights as a ratio of body weight, fractional shortening and left ventricular ejection fraction. And serum levels of indoxyl sulfate and serum creatinine were also achieved. Results MI merger STNx could further aggravate the heart function, kidney function and left ventricular remodeling in rats. Zhenwu decoction could obviously improve the heart function, kidney function and left ventricular remodeling in rats. Conclusions Based on the MI models, STNx can worsen heart function and kidney function. Zhenwu decoction can significantly improve heart function and kidney function.

Objective : To investigate the willingness to receive HIV testing in primary health service institutions (PHSIs) among young students in Wuhan City, so as to provide the evidence for improving the detection of HIV testing among young students. Methods: Fifteen PHSIs were sampled using a stratified random sampling method in 14 districts of Wuhan City, and school students at ages of 15 to 24 years were sampled from each district using a convenience sampling method. Participants' demographics, awareness of AIDS-related knowledge, HIV testing and willingness to receive HIV testing were collected using questionnaires, and factors affecting the willingness to receive HIV testing in PHSIs were identified among school students using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results : A total of 301 questionnaires were allocated, and 299 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 99.34%. The respondents included 143 men (47.83%) and 156 women (52.17%), and had a mean age of (19.36±2.40) years; there were 223 respondents with an educational level of diploma and above (74.58%). The awareness of AIDS-related knowledge was 71.57% among the respondents, and 144 respondents had received AIDS-related health education in PHSIs (48.16%). There were 34 respondents that had received HIV testing (11.37%) and 203 respondents that were willing to receive HIV testing in PHSIs (67.89%). The respondents that were unwilling to receive HIV testing in PHSIs were mainly attributed to considering to be unlikely to get HIV infections (82.29%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that school students who knew AIDS-related knowledge (OR=2.797, 95%CI: 1.583-4.941), knew free HIV counseling and testing services in PHSIs (OR=2.070, 95%CI: 1.123-3.814), and had received AIDS-related health education in PHSIs (OR=2.814, 95%CI: 1.573-5.032) were more willing to receive HIV testing in PHSIs. Conclusions There were 67.89% of school students that were willing to receive HIV testing in PHSIs in Wuhan City, and the willingness to receive HIV testing was correlated with the awareness of risk of HIV infections, and awareness and experience of AIDS control services in PHSIs.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of adjustable external fixation traction combined with arthroscopic microfracture in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 27 OLT patients who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital from May 2017 to March 2022. There were 16 males and 11 females, aged (32.4±7.2) years. Lesion site: 23 medial and 4 lateral cases; Hepple staging: 7 cases at stage Ⅰ, 15 cases at stage Ⅱ, and 5 cases at stage Ⅲ; disease duration: (10.6±3.3) months. All the patients were treated by adjustable external fixation traction combined with arthroscopic microfracture. Recorded were the patients' visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scores at 6 months and 12 months after surgery, levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor- α (TNF- α) at 1 month after surgery, lesion area at 12 months after surgery, and incidence of complications. Results:The follow-up time for this cohort was (16.2±6.7) months. The AOFAS score was (61.52±6.75) points before surgery, (84.15±5.56) points at 6 months after surgery and (95.67±4.30) points at 12 months after surgery. The VAS score was (5.88±1.02) points before surgery, (2.12±0.48) points at 6 months after surgery and (0.66±0.36) points at 12 months after surgery. The two-by-two comparisons between the 3 time points for the above items were statistically significant ( P<0.05). IL-1 was (32.37±6.64) pg/mL, IL-6 (34.04±7.12) pg/mL, and TNF- α (17.89±4.96) ng/L at 1 month after surgery in the 27 patients, all of which were significantly lower than their preoperative levels [(96.63±14.80) pg/mL, (102.33±20.42) pg/mL, and (54.48±9.33) ng/L] ( P<0.05). The lesion area was (28.66±6.52) mm 2 at 12 months after surgery, significantly smaller than the value before surgery [(128.52±11.32) mm 2] ( P<0.05). Infection at the adjustable external fixation needle track occurred in 1 patient and lower limb thrombosis in 2 patients. Conclusion:In the treatment of OLT, adjustable external fixation and traction combined with arthroscopic microfracture can achieve satisfactory results and improve symptoms for the patients.

Objective:To explore the pathogenic genes, clinical characteristics and treatment follow-up of children with congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS).Methods:Clinical data of 20 cases diagnosed with congenital LQTS and underwent gene testing from April 15, 2011 to April 15, 2021 in Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University were retrospectively collected and analyzed using independent sample t-test and Fisher′ s exact probability method. Results:LQTS-related gene mutations were detected in all the 20 cases, and pathogenic or suspected pathogenic mutations were identified in 18 cases (90.0%). Five LQTS mutation genes were discovered, including KCNQ1, KCNH2, SCN5A, CACNA1C and AKAP9.Eighteen cases (90.0%) had positive symptoms, and 13 cases (65.0%) had definite inducements.The inducement of symptoms in children with LQTS type 1(LQT1) was related to exercise, the causes of syncope in LQT1 and Jervell-Lange-Nielsen syndrome type 1 (JLNS1) with complex heterozygous mutations were exercise or emotional agitation; the causes of syncope in LQTS type 2 (LQT2) were unrelated to exercise; severe exercise in LQTS type 3 (LQT3) resulted in symptoms; and seizure in LQTS type 8 (LQT8) was non-induced.The corrected QT(QTc) interval of 20 cases was (553.1±66.6) ms, with a range of 460-707 ms, among which 17 cases showed QTc≥480 ms.The electrocardiogram(ECG) manifestations of children with various types of LQTS were different.There was no significant difference in QTc between different genders, or between children with syncope and those without syncope (all P>0.05). The follow-up time was (3.4±2.3) years, ranging from 0 to 8.3 years.Seventeen children received treatment[beta blockers and implantable cardiovertor-defibrillator(ICD)] and 3 cases did not.By the end of the follow-up, 1 child died, 19 cases survived, and 2 cases of the surviving children lost consciousness. Conclusions:There is a high consistency between genetic diagnosis and clinical diagnosis of congenital LQTS.The positive rate of gene detection is 90.0%.The clinical manifestations and ECG characteristics vary with genotypes.Beta blockers are protective.ICD therapy can prevent sudden cardiac death when oral medication does not respond.
