Objective:To explore the effect of microRNA (miRNA)-3126-5p on the proliferation and migration of colorectal cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of LIM and SH3 protein 1 ( LASP1). Methods:Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of miR-3126-5p in colorectal cancer cell lines (HT-29, HCT116, LoVo, SW480) and normal intestinal mucosal epithelial cells (HIEC). The cell line with the lowest expression level was selected as the experimental object. The experiment was divided into 2 groups: the negative control group (transfected with miR-NC) and the miR-3126-5p group (transfected with miR-3126-5p). Cells of each group were collected 48h after transfection. qRT-PCR method was used to detect the expression level of miR-3126-5p in each group. The MTS method and the scratch healing experiment were used to detect the proliferation level and migration ability of the cells in each group. The bioinformatics software microRNA.org and the dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment were used to predict and verify the target genes of miR-3126-5p, respectively. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of target genes in each group of cells. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), t test was used for comparison between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups. Results:Compared with normal intestinal mucosal epithelial cells (HIEC), the expression level of colorectal cancer cell line miR-3126-5p was significantly reduced ( P<0.05), and the cell line with the lowest expression level was HCT116 cells ( P<0.01). The expression of miR-3126-5p in HCT116 cells in the negative control group and miR-3126-5p group were (1.05±0.16) and (7.91±1.26) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.40, P<0.01). Compared with the negative control group, the proliferation ability of HCT116 cells in the miR-3126-5p group was significantly reduced ( t=4.52, P<0.05), and the migration ability was significantly reduced ( P<0.01). microRNA.org shows that miR-3126-5p has complementary binding sites with LIM and SH3 protein 1 ( LASP1) gene mRNA. miR-3126-5p can target LASP1 mRNA ( P<0.01). Compared with the negative control group, the expression of LASP1 gene in HCT116 cells of the miR-3126-5p group was significantly reduced ( t=4.56, P<0.01). Conclusion:The expression of miR-3126-5p in colorectal cancer cell lines is low, and miR-3126-5p can reduce the proliferation and migration ability of colorectal cancer HCT116 cells by inhibiting the expression of the target gene LASP1.

Objective:To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HAGLR on the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of microRNA (miRNA, miR)-93-5p.Methods:Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of HAGLR in gastric cancer cell lines (HS-746T, BGC823, SGC7901, MGC803) and normal gastric mucosal epithelial cells (GES-1). Selected the cell line with the lowest HAGLR expression and transfected with the negative control plasmid (negative control group) or HAGLR-high-expression plasmid (HAGLR group) respectively. The MTS method and the scratch healing test were used to detect the proliferation and migration ability of the cells after transfection. The bioinformatics software miRcode database was used to predict the target gene of HAGLR, and the dual luciferase reporter gene experiment was used to verify the binding of HAGLR to the target gene. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of the target gene. Western blot was used to detect the expression of Hippo signaling pathway. The software SPSS 21.0 was used to conduct statistical analysis. The t test was used for comparison between two groups, and the one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups. Results:Compared with GES-1 cells, the expression level of HAGLR in gastric cancer cell lines was lower (all P<0.05), and the cell line with the lowest HAGLR expression was SGC7901 cells ( P<0.01). The HAGLR expression in SGC7901 cells in the HAGLR group and the negative control group were 1.03±0.13 and 9.75±1.10, respectively. The expression level of HAGLR in the negative control group was significantly lower than that in the HAGLR group ( t=7.87, P<0.01). Compared with the negative control group, the absorbance of SGC7901 cells in the HAGLR group was significantly reduced ( P<0.05), and the scratch healing rate was significantly reduced ( P<0.01). The miRcode database showd that HAGLR and miR-93-5p have complementary binding sites. The dual luciferase reporter gene experiment showed that HAGLR can complement miR-93-5p ( P<0.01). Compared with the negative control group, the expression of miR-93-5p in SGC7901 cells in the HAGLR group was significantly reduced ( P<0.01), and the expression of Hippo signaling pathway protein was significantly reduced (all P<0.01). Conclusions:HAGLR is low expressed in gastric cancer cell lines. HAGLR inhibits the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer SGC7901 cells by negatively regulating miR-93-5p.

Objective To summarise the imaging features of rare mastitis and explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound, mammography and MRI for rare mastitis. Methods The record of 24 patients diagnosed as rare mastitis in our hospital from Jan. 2000 to Jun. 2009 was reviewed, including clinical manifestations, pathological results, imaging diagnosis and diagnostic accurate rate. Results Of the 24 patients, 14 patients were ductal ectasia with chronic mastitis, 3 granulomatous mastitis, 6 chronic abscess and 1 mammary tuberculosis. 13 patients underwent ultrasonic scan, 12 patients underwent mammography and 3 patients underwent MRI, with the diagnostic accurate rate 77%, 25% and 100% respectively. Conclusions There are no special imaging manifestations for most rare mastitis, however, some differential characteristics still exist. MRI has a higher accuracy compared to ultrasound and mammography. The combination of multiple imaging methods can improve diagnostic accuracy.

Objective To explore the influence of different blood gas strategies on cerebral protection and blood gas analysis during moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonar.Methods Patients under cardiac valve replacement with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) were performed in this study.The cerebral blood flow (CBF) and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) were monitored at 5 points:(1)Induction of anesthesia (T1),(2) after 10 min of the beginning of cardiopulmonary bypass (T2),(3) during the moderate hypothermic phase of CBP managed by the alpha-stat after calibrate blood gas 15 min (T3),(4) pH-stat followed,after calibrate blood gas 15 min (T4),and (5) 10 min after CBP (T5).pH and pCO2 in patients were recorded and analyzed at T3 and T4.Results The CBF of T2 and T3 was lower than that of T1,but the difference was not significant (t =2.841,2.711;P =0.062,0.080).The CBF of T4 and T5 was higher than that of T3,but the difference was not significant (t =1.793,2.135;P =0.119,0.066).The CBF of T5 resumed to before operation.The rSO2 of T2 and T3 was lower than that of T1,but the difference was not significant (t =1.821,2.032;P =0.132,0.267),the rSO2 ofT4 and T5 was higher than that ofT3,but the difference was not significant (t =1.879,2.021;P =0.312,0.075).The rSO2 of T5 resumed to before operation.However,the pH was much lower in pH-stat than alpha-stat (t =17.541,P =0.000) and the pCO2 was much higher than alpha-stat (t =13.914,P =0.000).Conclusions Both pH-stat and alpha-stat have cerebral protection effects.However,compared to pH-stat,alpha-stat could reduce the possibility of acidosis,and maintain the acid-base equilibrium.

The magnetic nanoparticle probe was prepared by specifically connecting the streptavidin-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles and the antibody of analyte via the strong streptavidin-biotin interaction. Based on the magnetic nanoparticle probes, the concentration of human chorionicgonadotropin (HCG) was detected and a new CL method for of hormone was further established. The performances of the magnetic nanoparticle probes were characterized by UV-Vis spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The experimental conditions that affected the chemiluminescence were optimized. The optimal concentrations of luminal and H_2O_2 were 2×10~(-4) mol/L and 8×10~(-4) mol/L, respectively, and optimal pH was 13. Under the optimized experiment conditions, a linear response of chemiluminescence intensity to HCG concentration was obtained with a correlation coefficients of 0.9924. The linear range was from 0.5 to 250 μg/L and wider than the conventional ELISA method (5-200 μg/L). The relative standard deviation was 3.8%. Correlation analysis showed that there was significant correlation between the method of magnetic nanoparticle probes and ELISA in 34 clinical samples. The proposed method with characters of sensitive, effective, fast response and wide detection range provided good application prospect in analysis of other ultra-micro protein.

A highly sensitive magnetic enzymE-linked chemiluminescent immunoassay method was developed for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin(HCG). The monoclonal antibody was covalently coupled on the surface of carboxylated magnetic beads to generate magnetic-biotargeting; Alkaline phosphatase(ALP) was utilized as a labeled reagent of another monoclonal antibody, whereas 3-(2-spimadamantane) 4-methoxy-4-(3-phosphoryloxy)phenyl-1,2-dioxetane(AMPPD) was utilized as the chemiluminescent substrate. Based on this concept, a highly sensitive chemiluminescent immunoassay method was established to test HCG. Then, several modifications were made to optimize the method, and the detection sensitivity and procedure were improved accordingly. The detection of the assay could be fulfilled within 60 min and the test result of HCG concentration was linear over the range of 0.15 150 IU/L with good relativity(r=0.960). The relative standard deviation(RSD) were below 5% and the sensitivity of this method was 0.15 IU/L. The proposed method with wide linear range, simple operation and fast detection showed good prospect in practical application on-site.
