Objective To study the clinical and histopathologic features of small renal carcinoma (diameter≤4 cm)and provide theoretical basis for evaluating the safety,efficacy and prognosis of nephron sparing surgery.Methods This retrospective study collected the pathological data of 490 patients with small renal cell carcinoma,who were treated in our hospital,from May 2000 to October 2014.We recorded and analyzed the tumor size,histological subtype,Fuhrman grading,pathological stage,the existence of mulifocality,vascular invasion,tumor psuedocapsule,hemorrhage or necrosis and distant metastasis.Results The median diameter of tumor was (3.2 ± 0.6) cm,ranged 0.6 to 4.0 cm.Of all the subjects,422 (86.1%) were clear cell carcinoma,32 (6.5%) were chromophobe cell carcinoma,23 (4.7%) were papillary carcinoma and 13 (2.7%) were other rare types.Among the 422 clear cell carcinoma cases,27 were Fuhrman grade Ⅰ,157 were Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade,210 were grade Ⅱ,21 were Ⅱ-Ⅲ grade,7 were grade Ⅲ and no one was grade Ⅳ.Multifocal tumors were found in 18 cases (3.7%) and tumor embolus of renal vein was found in 6 cases (1.2%).Intact psuedocapsule were found in 326 (66.5%) tumors with the thickness ranged from 0.2 to 1.0 mm.Tumor infiltration without the psuedocapsule penetration were found in 82 cases (16.7%),penetrated into the psuedocapsule were found in 11 cases (2.2%),infringement of perirenal fat were found in 9 cases (1.8%).Hemorrhage and necrosis were found in 240 cases (48.9%),synchronous lung metastases occurred in 3 patients (0.6%).Logistic regression analysis revealed that tumor invasion and pseudocapsule penetration were related to Fuhrman Ⅱ-Ⅲ,Ⅲ and tumor diameter (P =0.04).Moreover,tumor size was related with histological grade and renal capsule invasion (P =0.02).Nevertheless,there was no relationship among tumor size,renal vein embolus or mulifocality (P =0.35).Conclusions Although most small renal tumors are high differentiation and low grade,but rare cases are aggressive with infringement of perirenal fat or early distant metastasis,suggesting heterogeneity in its biological behavior.Most small renal tumors have obvious psuedocapsule.When the tumor size is greater than 3.0 cm and its Fuhrman classification was high,the psuedocapsule and perirenal fat are more likely to be infiltrated.Nephron sparing surgery should remove the tumor and its surface adipose tissue entirely.

Objective:To investigate the change of expression of miR-7 in activated CD4+ T cells in vitro, and preliminary explore its possible significance. Methods: CD4+CD62L+T cells was purified from splenocytes of FVB mice by magnetic cell sorting system (MACS). After stimulation with anti-CD3/CD28 antibody,the relative expression of miR-7 was examined by Real-time PCR, and the expression level of CD69 molecular was analyzed by FACS. Furthermore,the relative expression of miR-7 in CD4+T cells was detected at different time points during stimulation. With the treatment of ERK inhibitor PD98059,change of miR-7 expression was de-termined by Real-time PCR. Meanwhile, the proliferation of CD4+T cells was examined by CCK-8 assay and the expression level of CD69 and CD62L molecular were analyzed by FACS. Finally,the expression of cytokines IL-6,IL-10,and IFN-γ were determined by Real-time PCR. Results:Compared with control group,the relative expression of miR-7 was increased significantly after stimulation with anti-CD3/CD28 antibody,as well as expression level of CD69 molecular was augmented(P<0. 05). In contrasted with 0 h and 24 h,the expression of miR-7 was significantly increased after 48 h and 72 h during stimulation(P<0. 05). Furthermore,the relative expression of miR-7 was significantly declined in CD4+T cells in ERK inhibitor PD98059 treatment group. Finally, the expression level of CD69 molecular,as well as cytokines IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-γ, were also decreased significantly ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion: The relative expression of miR-7 was significantly increased in activated CD4+T cells,closely related to ERK pathway,which provided an important foundation for successive research work on exploring the functional role of miR-7 in the CD4+T cells.

Objective:To detect the effect of microRNA-7 ( miR-7 ) knockdown on pathology in murine acute lung injury ( ALI) model,and preliminarily explore its significance.Methods:Murine ALI model was performed by intraperitoneal injection of Li-popolysaccharide (LPS) (10 mg/kg) into miR-7KD mice and wild-type (wild type,WT) mice respectively.Then,the pathologic injury of lung tissue were observed by HE staining.And total cell count of bronchoalveolarlavage(BAL) was calculated.The relative expression of related cytokines in lung tissue was analyzed by Real-time PCR assay.Furthermore,the changes on proportion of innate immune cells (γδT cell and F4/80 macrophages cell) and adaptive immune cell ( CD4+T cell and CD8+T cell) were analyzed by FACS.Meanwhile, the expression of CD62L and CD69,as well as the absolute number,in CD4+T cell were also analyzed.Results: Compared with WT mice,pathological damage in lung tissues was significantly alleviated in miR-7KD mice.Real-time PCR analysis showed that the relative expression of IL-6 was obviously reduced (P<0.01),conversely,relative expression of IL-4 and TGF-βwere obviously increased (P<0.05).Furthermore,the total cell number in BAL also reduced significantly (P<0.05).Importantly,FACS analysis showed that the proportion and the absolute number of F4/80+Mφcells obviously reduced (P<0.05);however,the proportion of γδT cells increased (P<0.05).Moreover,the proportion and the absolute number of CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Finally, the proportion and the absolute number of CD62L+in CD4+T cells were upregulated vigorously,contrastly,the proportion and the absolute number of CD69+in CD4+T cells were notably up-regulated (P<0.05).Conclusion:miR-7 defeciency could significantly ameliorate the pathology of murine ALI,suggesting that it may play an important regulatory role in the development of ALI.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), a member of the Phlebovirus genus from the Bunyaviridae family endemic to China, is the causative agent of life-threatening severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), which features high fever and hemorrhage. Similar to other negative-sense RNA viruses, SFTSV encodes a nucleocapsid protein (NP) that is essential for viral replication. NP facilitates viral RNA encapsidation and is responsible for the formation of ribonucleoprotein complex. However, recent studies have indicated that NP from Phlebovirus members behaves in inhomogeneous oligomerization states. In the present study, we report the crystal structure of SFTSV NP at 2.8 Å resolution and demonstrate the mechanism by which it processes a ringshaped hexameric form to accomplish RNA encapsidation. Key residues essential for oligomerization are identified through mutational analysis and identified to have a significant impact on RNA binding, which suggests that correct formation of highly ordered oligomers is a critical step in RNA encapsidation. The findings of this work provide new insights into the discovery of new antiviral reagents for Phlebovirus infection.
