Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between STAT1,STAT3 gene promoter CpG island methylation status and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer(CRC)and the prognostic factors of CRC patients. Methods The cohort study was conducted to biosamples and follow up 239 patients with primary colorectal cancer pathologically diagnosed in Cancer Hospital of Harbin Medical University(Tumor Hospital). The methylation status of STAT1,STAT3 gene promoter CpG island was analyzed by methylation specific high-resolution melting curve(MS-HRM). Results The survival rates of 239 patients with colorectal cancer at 1 year,3 years and 5 years were 94. 90% ,86. 00% and 67. 20% ,respectively. The methylation status of STAT1 and STAT3 genes was not associated with postoperative survival in colorectal cancer patients( STAT1:HR=0. 85,95% CI:0. 55 ~1. 30,P=0. 44;STAT3:HR=0. 75,95% CI:0. 36~1. 58,P=0. 45). Dukes stage(HR=1. 31,95% CI:1. 14~1. 51,P<0. 01)and intraoperative intestinal stapler use(HR=1. 98,95% CI:1. 25 ~3. 14,P<0. 01) were important factors affecting the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients. The risk of death in patients with stage D and Dukes was significantly higher than that in stages A and B (HR=1. 31,95% CI:1. 14~1. 51,P<0. 01). Intestinal anastomosis was used during operation. The patient′s prognosis was better than that of patients without an intestinal stapler. However,gender,age,tumor location,gross tumor type,histological classification and postoperative chemotherapy were not associated with the prognosis of colorectal cancer. Conclusion Dukes stage is an independent factor affecting the prognosis of colorectal cancer. The prognosis of patients with intestinal stapler is better than that of non-users. The methylation status of STAT1 and STAT3 in peripheral blood is not a biomarkers for the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA), patients′ awareness of HUA, and related factors among elderly in community.Methods:The health check-up data of 6 897 residents aged over 65 years in Gumei Community of Shanghai were collected from January 2019 to January 2020. There were 1 156 subject with increased serum uric acid levels (HUA group) and 5 741 with normal uric acid levels (non-HUA group). The differences of clinical indicators between HUA group and non-HUA group were analyzed and the risk factors of HUA was determined by multivariate logistic stepwise regression. A questionnaire survey on the knowledge of HUA and the adoption of relevant health behaviors was conducted among HUA patients.Results:The overall prevalence was 16.8% (1 156/6 897) in this population. The prevalence in males was significantly higher than that in females[26.4%(842/3 195) vs. 8.5%(314/3 702), P<0.001); and the prevalence in females increased with age (χ 2=7.56, P=0.023). Body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), serum creatinine, alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and albumin/urine creatinine ratio(UACR) in the HUA group were significantly higher than those in the non-HUA group, while estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) and high-density lipoprotein(HDL) were lower than those in the non-HUA group (all P<0.01). The prevalence of hypertension, decreased renal function, overweight or obesity, abdominal obesity, fatty liver and renal cyst in HUA group was significantly higher than that in non-HUA group (all P<0.01). High values of TG, low-density lipoprotein(LDL), WC, hypertension and fatty liver were risk factors for HUA( OR=1.14, 1.20, 1.03, 1.43, 2.19; P<0.01); while female gender, eGFR, HDL and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) were protective factors for HUA( OR=0.32, 0.94, 0.65, 0.78; P<0.01). The questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 090 HUA patients, and the results showed that 73.2% (798 cases) were aware of the disease after the health check-up results released; only 30.9% (337 cases) knew the diagnostic criteria of HUA, 21.1% (230 cases) knew that HUA needed life-long follow-up care, 56.3% (614 cases), 49.2% (536 cases) and 47.9% (522 cases) thought that HUA should eat less seafood, broth and soya bean products, 17.0%(185 cases) were atcohol drinker and the awareness rates of above questions in patients with gout were higher than those in patients without gout ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The study shows that the prevalence of HUA among the elderly in Gumei community of Shanghai is high, and the HUA related knowledge levels and health behavior performance are not ideal, especially for HUA patients without gout, therefore health education should be strengthened for elderly residents in the community.

LIN28 is an RNA binding protein with important roles in early embryo development, stem cell differentiation/reprogramming, tumorigenesis and metabolism. Previous studies have focused mainly on its role in the cytosol where it interacts with Let-7 microRNA precursors or mRNAs, and few have addressed LIN28's role within the nucleus. Here, we show that LIN28 displays dynamic temporal and spatial expression during murine embryo development. Maternal LIN28 expression drops upon exit from the 2-cell stage, and zygotic LIN28 protein is induced at the forming nucleolus during 4-cell to blastocyst stage development, to become dominantly expressed in the cytosol after implantation. In cultured pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), loss of LIN28 led to nucleolar stress and activation of a 2-cell/4-cell-like transcriptional program characterized by the expression of endogenous retrovirus genes. Mechanistically, LIN28 binds to small nucleolar RNAs and rRNA to maintain nucleolar integrity, and its loss leads to nucleolar phase separation defects, ribosomal stress and activation of P53 which in turn binds to and activates 2C transcription factor Dux. LIN28 also resides in a complex containing the nucleolar factor Nucleolin (NCL) and the transcriptional repressor TRIM28, and LIN28 loss leads to reduced occupancy of the NCL/TRIM28 complex on the Dux and rDNA loci, and thus de-repressed Dux and reduced rRNA expression. Lin28 knockout cells with nucleolar stress are more likely to assume a slowly cycling, translationally inert and anabolically inactive state, which is a part of previously unappreciated 2C-like transcriptional program. These findings elucidate novel roles for nucleolar LIN28 in PSCs, and a new mechanism linking 2C program and nucleolar functions in PSCs and early embryo development.
