Objective To explore the effects of advanced glyeosylation end products (AGEs) on the binding of hepatic nuclear factors to the human insulin receptor (hlR) gene promoter. Methods The oligonueleotides with hlR gene promoter activity, 42 bp (spanning -1 441 to -1 400, US1) or 146 bp (spanning -638 to -493), were artificially synthesized, with point mutations at 5 key G residues in 42 bp US1 m5 oligonucleotides. US1 and rat hepatic nuclear extracts (HNE) were incubated with glucose 6-phosphate, prior to non-competition and competition gel retardation electrophoresis. Results Competition gel retardation electrophoresis showed that the binding capacity of 32p-labeled US1 probe to HNE could be signifficantly decreased with increased US1. US1-AGEs and US1m5 decreased the binding of probe to HNE as well, but only partly affected the electrophoretie bands [1,5,10 ng US1-AGEs: (41.08±2.86)%, (27.64±2.92)%, (15.35±1.81%) vs (52.05±1.79)%]; 5,10 ng US1m5: (5.20± 1.03)%, (1.81±0.21)% vs (52.05±1.79)%]. AGEs formed on HNE could increase the binding of HNE to probe, along with nonspecifie binding increasing. Conclusion The impact of AGEs on hlR gene expression seems to be related to the effects on cis-elements and trans-acting factors.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of synthetic interferon‐induced transmembrane protein 1(IFITM1) siRNA on the proliferation and migration of human ovarian cancer cell line CP 70 .Methods The siRNA targeted IFITM1 was transfected into CP70 cells by LipofectamineTM 2000 . Expressions of IFITM1 mRNA and protein were examined by qRT‐PCR and Western blot .Plate clone assay and Transwell chamber were used to observe the proliferation and migration of CP 70 cells .Results IFITM1 siRNA significantly inhibited the expression of IFITM1 in human ovarian cancer cell line CP70 at both mRNA and protein levels . The colony formation assay indicated that the clone number was 84 in IFITM1siRNA , which was much fewer than 181 in negative control group and 178 in mock transfection group .The colony‐forming efficiency (CFE) was 42% ,90 .5%and 89% ,respectively .Transwell chamber results showed that the number of migrated cells was 59 ,121 and 126 , respectively ;the siRNA transfection group differed significantly from the other two groups , indicating that downregulated IFITM1 expression greatly inhibited the proliferation and migration of CP 70 cells .Conclusion Knockdown of IFITM1 inhibited the proliferation and migration of CP70 cells .IFITM1 is a potential therapeutic target for human ovarian cancer .

Objective To study the clinical value of rapid prototyping oriented template for total hip replacement in patients with adult developmental dysplasia of the hip .Methods Totally 51 cases with adult developmental dysplasia of the hip who were admitted into our hos -pital from January 2014 to March 2015 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group .The observation group were treated by total hip arthroplasty assisted with rapid prototyping oriented template , while the control group were treated with traditional surgical method for total hip replacement.The curative effect, operation time, amount of bleeding, hospitalization time and satisfaction rate were compared between the two groups .Results The operation time , intraoperative blood loss and length of hospital stay of the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group , and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01).The Harris hip function score and satisfaction rate of the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group with statistically significant differ -ences (P<0.05).Conclusion Total hip arthroplasty assisted with rapid prototyping oriented template could shorten the operation time , re-duce the intraoperative blood loss , cut down the hospitalization time , quicken the hip joint function recovery , and improve the satisfaction rate of patients .

Background and purpose:miR-22 has been reported to be down-regulated in gastric cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer. However, its expression in glioma was still poorly known. This study aimed to explicit whether miR-22 suppresses cell proliferation by targeting MTDH, thus to reveal molecular mechanism that miR-22 functions as a tumor suppressor in glioma. Methods:Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was conducted for detecting the expression of miR-22 in gliomas and normal brain tissues. MTDH 3’UTR-luciferase vector was constructed and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to examine the effect of miR-22 on luciferase activity. U251 cells were transfected with miR-22 mimics, and MTDH siRNA as for postive control, then Western blot was performed to detect the expressions of MTDH protein. The proliferation ability of U251 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Results:miR-22 was down-regulated in glioma tissues. Glioma patients with relatively high expression of miR-22 showed lower mortality compared with low expression of miR-22 by using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. We demonstrated miR-22 could bind to the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of MTDH and inhibited the luciferase activity. Western blot showed that the expression of MTDH protein was inhibited by restored miR-22 or siR MTDH in U251 cells. Overexpression of miR-22 or siR MTDH inhibited the proliferation of U251 cells. Conclusion:miR-22 suppresses cell proliferation by targeting MTDH in glioma.
