Objective:The relative expression of miR-4698 in liver cancer tissues and cell lines was detected, and its effect on the proliferation and migration of liver cancer cells and its molecular mechanism were analyzed.Methods:Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the relative expression of miR-4698 in liver cancer tissues and liver cancer cell lines. Among the lowest-expressing hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines, miR-4698 mimic and control mimic were transfected with liposome transfection method, and named as experimental group and control group. qRT-PCR was used to detect transfection efficiency. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell migration experiments were used to detect the effects of overexpressing miR-4698 on the proliferation and migration ability of liver cancer cells. Bioinformatics and dual luciferase reporter gene experiments were used to predict and verify the binding of miR-4698 to target gene. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the relative expression of target gene at mRNA and protein levels, respectively.Results:Compared with the adjacent tissues, miR-4698 was significantly lower in the liver cancer ( P<0.01). Compared with normal hepatocytes, miR-4698 was significantly lower in hepatoma cell lines ( P<0.05), and the lowest in Huh7 cells ( P<0.01). After transfection, the expression of miR-4698 in Huh7 cells in experimental group was significantly increased compared with that in the control group ( P<0.01). Overexpression of the miR-4698 can inhibit the proliferation and migration of Huh7 cells ( P<0.05). Bioinformatics showed that the target gene of miR-4698 was polypeptide-n-acetylgalactosamine transferase 4 (GALNT4), and the double luciferase reporter gene confirmed that miR-4698 could bind to GALNT4 ( P<0.01). qRT-PCR showed that overexpression of miR-4698 could inhibit the expression of GALNT4 gene ( P<0.01). Western blot results showed that overexpression of miR-4698 decreased the protein expression of GALNT4, cyclin B and CDK1, and increased the protein expression of N-cadherin and ZEB-2. Conclusions:The expression of miR-4698 in liver cancer tissues and cell lines is significantly reduced. Overexpression of miR-4698 can inhibit the expression of GALNT4 gene and reduce the proliferation and migration ability of liver cancer Huh7 cells.

The definition of rehabilitation should reflect the connotation and extension of rehabilitation medicine system,moreover,special attention should be paid to the process of translation,applications and promotion due to its derivation from Latin.The fourth edition of rehabilitation medicine textbook which published by People's Medical Publishing House described the definition of rehabilitation inaccurately,although integrated the foreign authority definitions.The definition of ‘ re-learning’has been described by the textbook without considering logical sequence,which caused difficulty in explaining and comprehending between teachers and students in class.Besides,application of another term of rehabilitation medicine in the textbook is imprudence.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of senile primary central nervous system lymphoma.Methods The patients were divided into two groups,one group of the patients underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment following surgical resection,the other received a combined treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy only.The survival were analyzed with log-rank test.Results All of the lesions showed the iso-to slightly high density in the CT scan,and the boundary was unclear,surrounded by edema.Contrast enhancement was found in all of the patients.MRI showed iso-to low T1 and iso-to slightly high T2 signal intensity to the adjacent gray matter.The lesions were surrounded by the edema belt.Contrast enhancement such as rim enhancement or homogeneous enhancement was found in all.The pathological diagnosis was B cell lymphoma(n=32)and T cell lymphoma(n=4).In addition,all of the patients were excluded out of HIV infection and their immune function was normal.The median survival time of the group receiving surgery combination treatment and the group receiving just chemotherapy and radiotherapy were 19 months and 14 months,respectively.There was no significant statistics between the survival time of the two groups.Conclusion It is necessary to differentiate primary central nervous system lymphoma from glioma,metastatic tumor,meningoma,and so on.The surgical resection seems no help for those senile central nervous system lymphoma patients with multi-focus.The diagnosis should be suspected after MRI and obtained by stereotactic biopsy in order to avoid an unnecessary extend of surgery in primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL).

Aim To study the change of the expression of the gp80 and gp130 subunits of the IL- 6 receptor (IL- 6R)in the osteoporotic bone marrow, to explore the role of IL- 6 receptor system in the osteoporosis resulted from the loss of estrogen.Methods Twenty female 12- week old SD rats [weight (200± 20) g] were randomly divided into 2 groups: the osteoporosis model group (10 rats),the control group (10 rats).Respectively in the 0th ,12th week after ovariectomy to analyze the levels of gp80 and gp130.Results In the 0th,12th week after ovariectomy,the level of gp130 (pg/μ g total RNA): the control group's level had no significant change (80± 3 vs 82± 4,t=0.85,P >0.05), while the osteoporosis group's level became significant higher (80± 3 vs 290± 40,t=6.46,P< 0.01).In the 0th ,12th week after ovariectomy, the level of gp80(pg/μ g total RNA): the control group's level had no significant change (85.4± 2.7 vs 85.6± 2.8,t=0.35,P >0.05), while the osteoporosis group's level became significant higher (85.4± 2.7 vs 210± 40,t=6.32,P< 0.01).Conclusion There was a significant increase of the expressions of gp130 and gp80 in the bone marrow of osteoporotic rat.

Background and purpose:Although cisplatin-based chemotherapies are used as the first-line treatment for ovarian cancers, the majority of patients eventually progress with platinum-resistant disease. miR-483-5p is overexpressed in lung cancer. However, the research on miR-483-5p in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the expression of miR-483-5p in EOC and its effects on cisplatin resistance in EOC cells.Methods:This study analyzed the expression of the miR-483-5p by real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) in EOC tissues, normal ovarian tissues, and EOC cells. The role of miR-483-5p in EOC was evaluatedin vitro by lentivirus-mediated knockdown of miR-483-5p or overexpression of miR-483-5p in EOC cell lines. Drug sensitivity assay was carried out by CCK-8 kit.Results:miR-483-5p was upregulated in EOC tissues as compared with normal tissues (P<0.01). Furthermore, miR-483-5p expression in advanced stage (Ⅲ–Ⅳ) EOC was significantly higher than that in early stage (Ⅰ–Ⅱ) EOC (P<0.05). Interestingly, miR-483-5p expression was higher in cisplatin-resistant A2780/CP cells than other cells. Increased miR-483-5p expression caused EOC cell resistance to cisplatin and downregulated the expression of p21 and Bcl-2, whereas reduced miR-483-5p expression induced its sensitivity and upregulated the expression of p21 and Bcl-2.Conclusion:The results suggest that miR-483-5p is highly expressed in EOC and contributes to cisplatin resistance. Thus, miR-483-5p is a potential therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.

Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with postoperative respiratory failure (PRF) in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Methods In a prospective randomized joint study, 582 patients conforming to the criteria established by the four medical centers were enrolled for analysis. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to examine the relations between perioperative risk factors and PRF. PRF was defined as mechanical ventilation after operation lasting for more than 48h or reintubation and mechanical ventilation within 6h after extubation.Results Fifty-one patients developed PRF (8.8%) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that the type of surgery, ASA physical status classification, history of COPD and plasma albumin upper abdominal surgery and peripheral vascular surgery. The reason that neurosurgery topped the list was that most neurosurgical patients suffered from severe head injury and postoperative mechanical ventilation was prolonged because of coma. Our study showed that physical status was also a significant predictor of PRF. According to ASA classification, one class higher increased the risk by 6.325 time s. Conclusion Based on these predictors of PRF, in high risk elderly patients necessary measures can be taken to decrease the development of PRF.
