Background and purpose:Senescent cancer-associated ifbroblasts (CAFs) in tumor microenvi-ronment are known to mediate the invasion and radio- or chemo-resistance of epithelial cancers. The inflammatory cytokine IL-6 derived from CAFs may promote the invasion and radio-resistance of epithelial cervical cancer. However, the detailed mechanism is not clear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of IL-6 on CAFs senescence, cervical cancer cell invasiveness and radio-resistance.Methods:CAFs from cervical cancer, normal ifbroblasts (NFs) from nor-mal cervical tissues, and cervical cancer cell lines including HeLa, Siha and ME180 were used in this study. Different treatments of cells with IL-6 and inhibitors of STAT3 and Notch were conducted to investigate the alterations of cellular senescence, STAT3/Notch signaling, cell invasiveness, and radiotherapy-induced apoptosis by using cell staining, immunolfuorescence, Western blot, and lfow cytometery.Results:This study found that the conditioned medium (CM) of CAFs or IL-6 could activate the STAT3 and Notch signaling to promote cellular senescence and cervical cancer cell invasiveness. Co-culture of cervical cancer cells HeLa or Siha along with CAFs also increased the invasiveness of can-cer cells, but further treatments of cells by addition of an IL-6 antibody or the inhibitors of STAT3 (S31-201) or Notch (DAPT) blocked the cancer cell invasion. Meanwhile, this study also found that STAT3 functions at the upstream of the Notch signaling to up-regulate Jagged-1, one of the key ligands of Notch in ifbroblasts or epithelial cancer cells through IL-6-mediated autocrine or paracrine pathways, which eventually confers the radio-resistance of cervical cancer cells/tissues.Conclusion:CAFs in tumor microenvironment could induce cervical cancer cell invasiveness and radio-re-sistance through IL-6/STAT3-mediated Notch activation, and that targeting of the STAT3/Notch signaling-associated molecules may improve the effcacy of radiotherapy for cervical cancer.

Methods This study retrospectively reviewed the relevant medical records of single birth primiparas undergoing prenatal ultrasonographic evaluation in Wuxi People′s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to December 2016 . The pregnant women were divided into preterm group and term group according to the pregnancy outcomes ( with or without preterm birth) . The ACA and cervical length of these pregnancies were measured in the second trimester ( between 22 -24 weeks gestation) with the transperineal ultrasound . Results A total of 1064 pregnant women were enrolled in the study ,with 84 cases in preterm group ( 78 .9% ,84/1064) and 980 cases in term group ( 92 .11% ,980/1064) . Age of women in the two groups had no statistics difference( P =0 .86) .

OBJECTIVE: To study the mechanism of tumor necrosis factor( TNF)-α and its receptor( TNFR) signal transduction pathways in regulating cell apoptosis of alveolar macrophage( AM) in coal workers' pneumoconiosis( CWP).METHODS: Twenty-four coal workers with pneumoconiosis at stage Ⅰ were selected as CWP group and four observation subjects exposed to coal were chosen as observation group by using simple random sampling method. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluids of whole-lung lavage of two groups were collected. AMs were separated and purified. Then they were divided into 6 groups: a control group,a superoxide dismutase( SOD) group,a TNF/TNFR group,an anti-TNF-α antibody group,a Caspase-8 suppression group and a nuclear factor-κB( NF-κB) suppression group. The AMs of 6 groups with corresponding treatment were cultivated. After 24 hours,the cells were harvested and proteins extracted. The relative expression of TNF-α,TNFR1,TNFR2,Caspase-8,Caspase-3,NF-κB P50 and NF-κB P65 protein was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: The protein relative expression of TNF-α,TNFR2,Caspase-8,Caspase-3,NF-κB P50 and NF-κB P65 in CWP group was significantly higher than those in the observation group( P < 0. 05). The protein relative expression of TNF-α,TNFR1,Caspase-8,Caspase-3 and NF-κB P50 in the TNF/TNFR group and the anti-TNF-αantibody group was lower than that of the control group( P < 0. 05). The above indexes in the anti-TNF-α antibody group were lower than that of the NF-κB suppression group( P < 0. 05). The protein relative expression of TNFR1,Caspase-8and Caspase-3 in the TNF/TNFR group was higher than that of the SOD group and the Caspase-8 suppression group( P <0. 05). The protein relative expression of TNFR1,Caspase-8 and NF-κB P50 in the TNF/TNFR group was lower than that of the NF-κB suppression group( P < 0. 05). Among the CWP patients,the relative expression of TNFR2 and NF-κB P65 in the TNF/TNFR group was lower than that of the control group( P < 0. 05),and higher than that of the SOD group( P <0. 05). CONCLUSION: AM apoptosis mediated by TNF-α/TNFR/NF-κB signal transduction pathway plays an important role in the occurrence and development of CWP. The TNF-α/TNFR/NF-κB signal transduction pathways inhibited or blocked at different stages can affect the expression of proteins related to AM apoptosis.

Objective:To explore clinical value of nucleic acid detection for hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening in hospitalized patients.Methods:This cross-sectional study collected and analyzed plasma samples from patients admitted to 10 domestic medical institutions from July 2021 to December 2021. Serological immunoassay and nucleic acid screening were used to simultaneously detect hepatitis B markers such as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb), hepatitis B e Antigen (HBeAg), hepatitis B e antibody (HBeAb), hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb),and HBV DNA. Statistical analysis was performed on the serology, nucleic acid test results and clinical information of the patients.Results:Of the 8 655 collected samples, HBsAg was positive in 216 (2.50%) samples,HBV DNA was positive in 238 (2.75%) samples ( P>0.05); 210 (2.43%) samples were positive for both HBsAg and HBV DNA, 28 (0.32%) were HBsAg negative and HBV DNA positive, 6 cases (0.07%) were HBsAg positive and HBV DNA negative. Conclusion:These results indicate that the HBV DNA testing is equally effective as hepatitis B virus serological detection for hepatitis B virus screening in hospitalized patients.
