Objective To study the effects of AuNPs@PEG-AS1411 nanoparticles on radiosensitization of human uterine cervix cancer HeLa cells.Methods AuNPs were synthesized by citrate reduction method and then functioned with PEG and PEG-AS1411, respectively.CCK-8 assay and colon forming assay were used to detect the acute and chronic toxicity effects of AuNPs on HeLa cells, respectively.At the same time, clonogenic survival assay was applied to measure the cell survival rate of HeLa cells after exposure to AuNPs@PEG and AuNPs@PEG-AS1411 combined with X-ray radiation.The intracellular uptake of AuNPs@PEG and AuNPs@PEG-AS1411 in HeLa cells were detected by ICP-MS.Results The CCK-8 assay showed that AuNPs@PEG and AuNPs@PEG-AS1411 were not toxical on HeLa cells(P >0.05).But the clonogenic survival assay showed that AuNPs@PEG and AuNPs@PEG-AS1411 had toxicity on HeLa cells significantly after 10 d(t =4.38-11.60, P < 0.05).AuNPs functioned with AS1411 could increase the cellular uptake of AuNPs.AuNPs@PEG and AuNPs@PEG-AS1411 both had significant radiosensitive effect on HeLa cells (F =7.90,48.23, P < 0.05).The values of SERDo for AuNPs@PEG and AuNPs@PEG-AS1411 were 1.12 and 1.20, respectively, when the concentration of Au was 10 mg/L.Conclusions AuNPs@PEG and AuNPs@PEG-AS1411 could cause chronic toxicity on HeLa cells instead of acute effect.PEGylated AuNPs functioned with AS1411 could enhance the radiosensitivity of HeLa cells in vitro.

Objective To explore the difference of social support,self-esteem and marital quality between urban and rural areas and discuss the impact on each other.Methods Chinese marital quality questionnaire,selfesteem scale (SES) and social support rating scale were used to test 386 urban and rural married residents.Results ①The results of descriptive statistics showed that marriage quality,social support and self-esteem of urban and rural residents were (318.46±37.41),(42.44±5.84) and (30.65 ± 3.95) respectively.②There was no significant difference among social support,self-esteem and marital quality in different gender(t =0.41,-0.16,0.03,P> 0.05),but had significant difference between urban and rural areas(t=2.83,3.91,5.24,P<0.01).There were significant differences between social support and marital quality in different age structures(t=5.22,3.85,P<0.05).There were significant differences between social support and self-esteem in different educational level (t =3.48,4.16,P<0.01).③Social support,subjective support,objective support and marital quality had positive correlation (r=0.114~0.394,P<0.05).The degree and character compatibility,communication between couples,resolve conflicts are positively related to support (r=0.308~ 0.476,P<0.01).④Stepwise multiple regression analysis and structural equation modeling analysis showed that self-esteem played partial intermediary role between social support and marital quality(37.7%),which could explain 26.8% of marital quality.The social suptort and self-esteem could better predict marital quality.Conclusion The higher social support and self-esteem are,the higher marital quality is.Social support can directly affect the marital quality and indirectly affect marital quality through self-esteem.

Objective:To explore the expression of family with sequence similarity 83 member A (FAM83A) in colorectal cancer, and the effect of FAM83A knockdown on the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells and the related mechanism.Methods:The expression of FAM83A in the tissues of 102 patients with colorectal cancer and its adjacent tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. HCT116 cells were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group cells were transfected with FAM83A-siRNA plasmid, and the control group cells were transfected with MOCK-siRNA plasmid. The mRNA content of FAM83A in each group was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. The expressions of FAM83A, P13K, p-AKT and p-mTOR in each group were detected by Western blot. CCK8 assay and clonogenesis assay were used to detect cell proliferation.Results:The positive rate of FAM83A in colorectal cancer patients was 88.23% (90 cases /102 cases), and the expression rate of FAM83A in paracancer tissues was 10.78% (11 cases /102 cases). The expression rate of Fam83a in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancer tissues, with statistical significance ( P<0.001). After siRNA transfection, the mRNA expression levels of FAM83A in HCT116 cells of the experimental group and control group were 1.23±0.20 and 0.43±0.12, respectively, and the protein expression levels of FAM83A were 1.19±0.11 and 0.23±0.08, respectively. The expression levels of P13K were 1.21±0.17 and 0.28±0.09, the expression levels of p-AKT were 1.35±0.23 and 0.57±0.18, and the expression levels of p-mTOR were 1.48±0.20 and 1.05±0.14. The expression of P13K, p-Akt and p-mTOR was down-regulated (all P<0.05). The absorbance of HCT116 cells in the experimental group and the control group was 1.09±0.22 and 2.21±0.27, respectively. The cloning rate of HCT116 cells in the experimental group and the control group was 21.6%±2.4% and 62.7%±4.1%, respectively. The proliferation ability of HCT116 cells in the experimental group decreased significantly ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The expression of FAM83A is significantly increased in colorectal cancer tissues, which may be related to the malignant degree of colorectal cancer. FAM83A affects the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells through the P13K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze the correlation between anxiety symptoms and abnormal brain function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) under long-term chronic hypoxia. Methods Twenty-one patients with COPD complicated with anxiety were prospectively selected as COPD group, and 26 healthy individuals matched for gender and age were selected as control group. Both groups underwent high-resolution 3D-T1-weighted imaging (3D-T1WI), T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2-FLAIR), and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) sequence examination. DPARSF and SPM8 software were used to analyze the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) in the brain of the two groups. Results In the COPD group, the ALFF value in the left parahippocampal gyrus-cingulate gyrus increased, and the ALFF value in the right superior frontal gyrus decreased (
