In recent years, tumor has become one of the major diseases that endanger human health. It is of great significance to explore the pathogenesis of tumors in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of tumors. microRNA (miRNA) is a class of small non-coding RNA, which is involved in post transcriptional processing, epigenetic inheritance, cell growth and individual development and other important life activities. miRNA, charactered by oncogenes and anti-oncogenes function, participates in the development, invasion and metastasis of tumors. Telomeres, located at the end of chromosomes, are closely related to the malignant transformation of cells and the aging of human. To understand the pathogenesis of tumors and to provide a novel direction for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of tumors, the role and the relationship of miRNA and telomere in tumors are reviewed in this paper.

To study the toxicity-decreasing and synergistic effect of intracellular and extracellular polysaccharides from Phellinus igniarius on S180 mice. The PIP and PIE were extracted from the products of liquid submerged fermentation of P. igniarius. Transplanting S180 mice tumor models were established so as to observe the changes in tumor inhibiting rate, indexes of the spleen and thymus, body weight, peripheral blood cells and IFN-gamma levels when CTX was used alone and when used in combination with the PIP and PIE from P. igniarius. The results indicate that the PIP and PIE from P. igniarius can increase the activity of body immunity, attenuate the toxicity of CTX as well, and improve the anti-tumor effects.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the impacts of RelA antisense oligonucleotides on proliferation in laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cell.
METHOD:
RelA antisense oligonucleotides was designed, which was transferred into laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cell. MTT was used to detect the growth-inhibiting ratio at different transferred timepoints. Hep-2 cell which was transferred 48 h was used to do colony assay, and expression of RelA was detected by Reverse Transcription PCR and Western blot.
RESULT:
MTT results showed that RelA antisense oligonucleotides could significantly suppress the proliferation of Hep-2 cell, and the suppression-ratio elevated with time. There were statistical difference compared with control groups. The number of cells colony was reduced in RelA antisense oligonucleotides group compared with control groups, which had statistic significance. RT-PCR and Western blot results demonstrated that RelA antisense oligonucleotides could significantly inhibit the expression of messenger RNA and protein in Hep-2 cell.
CONCLUSION
RelA antisense oligonucleotides can inhibit the expression of messenger RNA and protein, and induce the cell proliferation and increase the number of cells colony in Hep-2 cell.

Objective:To retrospectively assess the occurrence and risk factors in patients with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) after polytrauma.Methods:Totally 430 patients with polytrauma admitted to Tongji Hospital from April 2018 to October 2019 were enrolled as the observation group. According to the diagnostic criteria of AGI, all patients were divided into the AGI group (with AGI) or N-AGI group (without AGI). The patients with abdominal injury or previously suffered from gastrointestinal disease were excluded. The patient's clinical characteristics lab tests results, and the first ISS, APACHEⅡ, SOFA and GCS scores were collected. The differences between different groups were statistically analyzed. The independent risk factors of AGI were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:65.3% of patients with polytrauma were accompanied by AGI (281/430 cases).There were significant differences between the AGI group and N-AGI group in ISS, GCS, APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA score, PCT or IL-6 level, shock index and length of stay in ICU ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that shock, ISS≥16, APACHE Ⅱ≥16, SOFA≥5, GCS≤8 and IL-6>50 pg/mL were the early independent risk factors in patients with ACI after polytrauma. Conclusion:The incidence of AGI in patients after polytrauma is higher, which is related to ischemia, hypoxia, abnormal blood coagulation and stress in the early stage after trauma.

OBJECTIVE: To study the intervention effects of participatory training on the occupational health in polishing workers. METHODS: By the stratified random sampling method,930 front-line polishing workers were selected from 50 manufacturing enterprises in Guangzhou,467 workers in the intervention group and 463 workers in the control group. The intervention group adopted participatory training and the control group adopted the traditional training. We evaluated the changes of occupational health knowledge,attitude and practice( KAP) in workers of these two groups using the questionnaire table of occupational health KAP for polishing workers. Data of before intervention,immediately after intervention and 3 months after intervention were collected. RESULTS: The workers 'knowledge,attitude and practice scores at the time point of immediately after intervention were higher than those before intervention in the same group( P <0. 05). The workers' knowledge and practice scores of 3 months after intervention in intervention group were higher than those before intervention( P < 0. 05). The knowledge and practice scores of 3 months after intervention in the intervention group were higher than that in the control group( P < 0. 05). The evaluation scores on protection measure and warning signs of workers in the intervention group were lower than those in workers of control group 3 months after the intervention( P < 0. 05). Three months after the intervention,the workers in intervention group believed that the training was more effective than that in the control group in the following 6 aspects: improving the knowledge of occupational health,improving the ability of identifying risk factors, learning to use the personal protective equipment, helping other workmates,having confidence to make suggestions and introducing other workmates to participate in training( P < 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The participatory training is an effective intervention model in improving the workers ' awareness of occupational health KAP.

Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants have made COVID-19 convalescents susceptible to re-infection and have raised concern about the efficacy of inactivated vaccination in neutralization against emerging variants and antigen-specific B cell response. To this end, a study on a long-term cohort of 208 participants who have recovered from COVID-19 was conducted, and the participants were followed up at 3.3 (Visit 1), 9.2 (Visit 2), and 18.5 (Visit 3) months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. They were classified into three groups (no-vaccination (n = 54), one-dose (n = 62), and two-dose (n = 92) groups) on the basis of the administration of inactivated vaccination. The neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers against the wild-type virus continued to decrease in the no-vaccination group, but they rose significantly in the one-dose and two-dose groups, with the highest NAb titers being observed in the two-dose group at Visit 3. The NAb titers against the Delta variant for the no-vaccination, one-dose, and two-dose groups decreased by 3.3, 1.9, and 2.3 folds relative to the wild-type virus, respectively, and those against the Omicron variant decreased by 7.0, 4.0, and 3.8 folds, respectively. Similarly, the responses of SARS-CoV-2 RBD-specific B cells and memory B cells were boosted by the second vaccine dose. Results showed that the convalescents benefited from the administration of the inactivated vaccine (one or two doses), which enhanced neutralization against highly mutated SARS-CoV-2 variants and memory B cell responses. Two doses of inactivated vaccine among COVID-19 convalescents are therefore recommended for the prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccination guidelines and policies need to be updated.
