Objective To explore the mechanism of the rat hyperplasia suppressor gene (rHSG) inhibited proliferation in C6 rat glioma cells. Methods C6 cells were cultured in vitro and transduced with the adenovirus vector which carried rHSG gene (Adv-rHSG-GFP). The transduction efficiency of adenovirus vector was measured by inverted microscope and flow cytometry in C6 cells. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the C6 cells cycle. Western blot was adopted to test the change of rHSG protein expression, the protein of cancer suppressor gene P53, cell cycle control protein of P21cip1, phosphorylation and non-phosphorylation retinoblastoma proteins (p-Rb, Rb). Results The adenovirus can insert the target gene into the genome of C6 target cell efficiently. The expression level of rHSG protein of Adv-rHSG-GFP group is obviously higher than that of PBS Group and Adv-GFP group. Meanwhile, the over-expressed C6 cells of rHSG that arrest in G0/G1 phase are largely increased (P < 0.01). Besides, there is a large increase in the protein expression of P53 and P21cip1 (P < 0.01), decrease in the expression of p-Rb (P < 0.01) and no significant change in the expression of Rb (P < 0.05). Conclusion rHSG might inhibit the proliferation of C6 rat glioma cells through P53-P21cip1 pathway.

Practical Oncology Journal 2019;33(4):300-304
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of microRNA-409-3p(miRNA-409-3p) expression on proliferation of cervical cancer Hela cells and chemotherapy sensitivity of cisplatin. Methods HeLa cells were divided into normal control,miRNA-409-3p mimic and RNA control groups. The mRNA expression of miRNA-409-3p was detected by RT-qPCR. The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay,and the expression of Fip200,LC3 and Caspase-3 was detected by Western blot. Results The relative expression level of microRNA-409-3p mRNA in cervical cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in normal cervical tissues and adjacent tissues(P<0. 05). After transfection of microRNA-409-3p mimic,the relative ex-pression level of microRNA-409-3p mRNA in the microNA-409-3p mimic group was significantly up-regulated compared with the normal control group(P<0. 05). The relative expression level of miRNA-409-3p mRNA in the RNA control group was not dif-ferent from that in the normal control group(P>0. 05). The proliferative rate of HeLa cells int the microRNA-409 mimic group was significantly lower than that in normal control and RNA control groups(P<0. 05). After cisplatin treatment,the proliferation of Hela cells was significantly inhibited in the miRNA-409-3p mimic group(P<0. 05);the expression of Fip200 protein and LC3II/LC3I ratio in the microRNA-409-3p mimic group were significantly lower than those in the normal control and RNA control groups(P<0. 05). Conclusion The low expression of microRNA-409-3p in cervical cancer tissue may be related to the occurrence and de-velopment of cervical cancer. Upregulation of microRNA-409-3p level can inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells and increase the sensitivity of HeLa cells to cisplatin.

Objective:
To investigate the relationship between health literacy and sports injuries among high school students with athletic specialization, so as to provide theoretical basis for the intervention of sports injury occurrence of sports special students.
Methods:
A total of 443 high school students with athletic specialization aged 16-18 years old from 21 urban and rural areas in Shangrao City, Ganzhou City and Nanchang City of Jiangxi Province were selected by convenient sampling method from March to April 2023, and the health literacy and sports injury incidence were investigated. The assessment of sports injury was based on the Monitoring Method of Child and Adolescent Injury, and the assessment of health literacy level was conducted using the Interactive Health Literacy Questionnaire of Chinese Adolescents. χ 2 test was used to compare the reported rate of sports injuries among the demographic and sports training groups and the correlation between health literacy and sports injuries. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to infer the correlation between the health literacy level of high school students with athletic specialization and the occurrence of sports injuries.
Results:
The prevalence of sports injury was 49.4% in high school students with athletic specialization. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of sports injury of high school students with athletic specialization with medium and low level of health literacy was significantly increased compared with high level (medium level: OR = 1.98,95% CI =1.12-3.51; low level: OR =2.08, 95% CI =1.18-3.68), high school students with athletic specialization in low level of health awareness of sports injury risk was higher than other dimensions of health literacy level (middle level: OR =2.77, 95% CI =1.48-5.19; low level: OR =2.01, 95% CI =1.04-3.88)( P <0.05). The results of stratified analysis showed that among male students with athletic specialization and students with track and field, students with moderate/low overall health literacy had a higher risk of sports injuries compared to high level students (male students: low level, OR =2.46, 95% CI =1.15-5.28; track and field: intermediate level, OR =2.17, 95% CI =1.06-4.43, low level, OR =2.09, 95% CI =1.02-4.30; P <0.05).
Conclusions
There is a correlation between the health literacy level of high school students with athletic specialization and the occurrence of sports injuries. Students health awareness should be improved to reduce the risk of sports injuries.

Objective:To investigate the changes of liver volume and liver function in patients with extensive hepatic vein occluded Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystem shunt (TIPS).Methods:The clinical data of 29 BCS patients from Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University during March 2016 to June 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The BCS was caused by extensive hepatic vein occlusion and patients were treated with TIPS. Pre- and postoperative abdominal CT/MRI images were collected and analyzed, and hepatic volume was measured with 3D-reconstruction. The liver volume and liver function during before and post the surgery were also collected and analyzed with preoperative value.Results:Patients including 8 males and 21 females, aged (33.3±6.3) years, were enrolled in this study. TIPS was successfully performed in all patients, with a technical success rate 100%. No serious complications related to TIPS occurred. Patients were followed up for 12-33 months (median, 16 months). Compared with preoperative [(2 124.6±420.9) cm 3] , the hepatic volume of time points after operation [1 week: (1 926.3±372.3) cm 3; 3 months: (1 480.6±183.1) cm 3; 6 months: (1 461.9±153.0) cm 3; 12 months: (1 469.3±148.5) cm 3] were all significantly reduced, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with preoperative values, the hepatic function indexes at each time point after operation were significantly improved ( P<0.05). The complete remission rate of ascites was 96.4% (27/28), 100.0% (28/28) and 100.0% (28/28) at 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. Conclusion:The extensive hepatic vein occlusive BCS patients were benefit from TIPS therapy. Six months after operation, the hepatic volume and the hepatic function returned to normal level.
