Objective To study the effect of human CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 7 (CNOT7) gene knockdown on the immune microenvironment of HepG2 cells and explore its significance. Methods We designed a cell transfection protocol and performed the experiment with three groups:CNOT7-targeted knockdown group, control group, and CNOT7 overexpression group. The transfection efficiency was assessed using inverted fluorescence microscopy, and the expression level of CNOT7, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 proteins was determined by Western blotting. The concentration of TGF-β1 secreted in the cell culture supernatant was measured by ELISA. The sensitivity of tumor cells to the killing function of natural killer (NK) cells was detected by flow cytometry. Results Compared with the control group, the expression level of TGF-β1 and NF-κB p65 proteins was significantly decreased in the CNOT7-targeted knockdown group, and the TGF-β1 concentration in the culture supernatant was also significantly reduced. However, in the CNOT7 overexpression group, the expression level of the two proteins and TGF-β1 concentration were significantly increased. NK cells were co-cultured with tumor cells, and the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells transfected with CNOT7-specific shRNA was significantly increased. However, in the CNOT7 overexpression group, the apoptosis rate was significantly decreased. Conclusion CNOT7 forms the immune microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Targeted knockdown of CNOT7 can reduce TGF-β1 secretion and enhance the killing function of NK cells toward HepG2 cells.

OBJECTIVETo explore the practicability of microskin grafting by spraying in burn management.
METHODSRazor thin autologous skin from pigs or burn patients was harvested and cut to pieces of 0.2 - 0.5 mm in size and suspended in normal saline. The suspension was put into a bottle with outlet and pumping device. The microskin suspended in the saline was sprayed to the burn wound and/or onto the alloskin sheets. The microskin distribution was detected by digital image analysis technique. In animal experiments, the burn wound development and pathomorphological changes after operation were observed. In burn patients who would receive microskin grafting, spraying method was used with the traditional flotation method as control. The treatment results and the operational procedures were compared between these two kinds of operation styles.
RESULTSThe microskin dispersion degree with spraying was much smaller than that with flotating method. In animal experiment with spraying method, the wound healing time was 23.2, 24.5 and 38.3 days in 3 groups, respectively, with the area ratio of donor to wound of 110, 120 and 150. In clinical study, The average operating time was 133.3 min with spraying method and 165.6 min with flotation method respectively (P < 0.05). The area ratio of donor to wound was 118.8 with spraying and 17.6 with flotation methods, respectively (P < 0.01). The one time wound coverage rate was 92.6% with spraying and 79.7% with flotation methods (P < 0.01). The wound healing time was 29.7 days with spraying and 37.3 days with flotating methods, respectively (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSpraying method of microskin grafting might be a good method in major burn treatment. The advantages with this method included well-distributed microskin, simpler handling, saving of donor skin, shortening of operating time and less time needed for the wound healing. It might be recommended for other wound covering materials.
