Objective To detect the expression of stem-cell related factors Nanog and CD44 in spheroid body-form?ing cells of gastric cancer cell line MKN-45. Methods The gastric cancer cell line MKN-45 was used to culture spheroid bodies in non-adherent condition in a serum-free medium supplemented with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibro?blast growth factor (bFGF). Using Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence staining and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR), the expression levels of stem cell-related genes Nanog and CD44 were studied. Results In this study, we observed that MKN45 cells formed spheroid bodies in non-adherent condition in a serum-free medium, and the levels of Nanog and CD44 mRNA expression in spheroid body-forming cells were 2.34 ± 0.22 and 1.18 ± 0.04,respectively, which were higher than those in parental cells (1.00±0.00 and 1.00±0.05). The levels of Nanog and CD44 protein expression in spheroid body-forming cells were 0.18±0.02 and 0.24±0.04, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in pa?rental cells (0.07±0.02 and 0.18±0.01, P<0.05). Nanog protein was positively stained within the perinuclear and cytoplasm of the spheroid body-forming cells, and CD44 was positively stained mainly in the membrane. Dual staining of Nanog/CD44 indicated that the embryonal protein Nanog was co-localized with CD44 in the spheroid body-forming cells. Conclusion Spheroid body-forming cells developed from human gastric cancer cell line MKN-45 in serum-free medium supplemented with EGF and bFGF show characteristics of cancer stem cell (CSC). The cells co-expressed of CD44 and Nanog maybe a phe?notype of gastric CSCs.

Objective To analyze the relationship between ferritin, carbohydrate antigen (CA)125, CA153, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin and progression and prognosis of Sj?gren's syndrome with inter-stitial pneumonitis (pSS-IP). Methods Five hundred and twenty-seven primary pSS patients from 2011 to 2017 were analyzed retro-spectively. According to the lung imaging and clinical features, they were divided into groups. The differences of ferritin, CA125, CA153, LDH and albumin (ALB) levels in each group were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of pSS complicated with interstitial pneumonitis. Results ① Among the 527 pSS patients, 206 (39.1％) were diagnosed with IP. Compared with 321 patients without interstitial pneumonitis (pSS-N-IP), ferritin, CA125, CA153 and LDH in pSS-IP were relatively higher [189(116, 380) ng/ml vs 138(75, 258) ng/ml, Z=-3.777, P<0.05;19(12, 36) U/ml vs 12(9, 19) U/ml, Z=-5.974, P<0.05;22(12, 34) U/ml vs 9(6, 14) U/ml, Z=-4.582, P<0.05;206(165, 258) U/L vs 161(139, 195) U/L, Z=-8.770, P<0.05], while albumin was lower [34(31, 37) g/L vs 36(34, 39) g/L, Z=5.210, P<0.05]. ② pSS-IP were divided into pSS-IP progression group (46 cases) and pSS-IP stable group (60 cases) according to their lung imaging characteristics. Compared with pSS-IP stabilization group, pSS-IP progression group had higher ferritin [254(129, 693) ng/ml vs 161(104, 259) ng/ml, Z=-2.437, P<0.05]. ③ Logistic regres-sion analysis showed that there was correlation between ferritin and the progress of pSS-IP (OR=1.002). Conclusion Ferritin, CA125, CA153, LDH, albumin are related to pSS-IP. Ferritin isrelated to the progress of pSS-IP, and is a risk factor for the progress of pSS-IP.

Objective:To evaluate the anesthetic efficacy of remiazolam combined with alfentanil in the patients undergoing painless gastroscopy.Methods:A total of 400 patients of both sexes, aged 20-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective painless gastroscopy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=200 each) using the computer-generated random numbers: remimazolam combined with alfentanil group (group RA) and propofol combined with alfentanil group (group PA).All subjects inhaled oxygen and were denitrogenated by deep inhalation.Alfentanil 7 μg/kg and remimazolam 0.2 mg/kg were intravenously injected in group RA, and alfentanil 7 μg/kg and propofol 1.5 mg/kg were intravenously injected in group PA.When body movement occurred during operation, remimazolam 2.5 mg was intravenously injected in group RA, propofol 0.5 mg/kg was intravenously injected in group PA, and anesthesia was defined as failure when there was still body movement after 3 times of additional injection within 15 min.The success of anesthesia, effective time of sedatives, time of gastroscopy, emergence time, perioperative adverse reactions, and satisfaction score of endoscopic surgeons-anesthesiologists-patients were assessed using visual analog scale score. Results:Compared with group PA, the incidence of hypotension (6.2%/14.0%), bradycardia (6.2%/19.0%), respiratory depression (3.1%/8.0%), injection pain (2.1%/30.0%), postoperative nausea (6.3%/25.0%), fatigue (7.8%/14.0%) was significantly decreased, and the incidence of hiccup (8.3%/1.0%) and patient′ s satisfaction score were increased in group RA ( P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in the success rate of sedation, effective time of sedatives, time of gastroscopic examination, emergence time, satisfaction scores of anesthesiologists-endoscopic surgeons, and incidence of postoperative vomiting, dizziness, and lethargy ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with conventional anesthesia for painless gastroscopy, remiazolam (0.2 mg/kg) combined with alfentanil (7 μg/kg) has a certain optimization effect in anesthesia for gastroscopy.

Objective:Based on the degradation of skeletal muscle protein MuRF mediated by pFoxO1 when insulin resistance occurs, this paper explores the content change of skeletal muscle protein and the effect of Jianpi Qinghua formula when insulin resistance occurs.Methods:C57 mice were fed with high-fat food and made as the model of obesity accompanied by insulin resistance. Then they were divided into model group, Jianpi Qinghua formula group and metformin group according to random number table method with 10 mice in each group. Jianpi Qinghua formula group was orally administered with water decoction 20.961 g/kg, and the metformin group was orally administered with metformin suspension 18.498 g/kg, once a day for 12 consecutive weeks. Intraperitoneal Glucose Tolerance Tests (IPGTT) was used after the model was established and intervened respectively. The relative protein content of pFoxO1, FoxO1, MuRF, MyoD and myosin were detected by Western blot method, and the localization of MyoD and myosin was detected by immuno-histochemistry.Results:Compared with the model group, the blood glucose of IPGTT at 0 min, 60 min and 120 min of both Jianpi Qinghua formula group and Metformin group decreased ( P<0.05). Compared with model group, the ratio of pFoxO1/FoxO1 protein expression level (0.27±0.07, 0.24±0.14 vs. 0.05±0.03) of both Jianpi Qinghua formula group and Metformin group increased ( P<0.05), and the relative expression of MuRF protein (1.22±0.42, 1.15±0.32 vs. 3.21±0.35) of both Jianpi Qinghua formula group and Metformin group decreased ( P<0.05). The relative protein expression of MyoD (1.42±0.45 vs. 0.40±0.11) and myosin (0.80±0.11 vs. 0.51±0.08) relative protein expression of Jianpi Qinghua formula group was significantly higher than that of model group ( P<0.05). Immunohistochemical staining showed that MyoD (5.06±1.72 vs.2.28±0.83) and myosin (60.28±7.47 vs. 39.77±3.34) of Jianpi Qinghua formula group significantly increased compared with model group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Jianpi Qinghua formula could effectively increase the content of skeletal muscle protein, enhancing the phosphorylation of FoxO1 in skeletal muscle and the inhibition of MuRF degradation pathway.
