Objective To explore the expression of zinc finger protein 217 (ZNF217) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its correlation with prognosis of patients. Methods A total of 120 NSCLC patients in Chongqing Three Gorges Central Hospital from January 2012 to October 2013 were selected. Immunohistochemical method was used to test the expression of ZNF217 in NSCLC tissues and paracancerous tissues. The correlation of ZNF217 expression with patient's clinicopathological features was analyzed. At the same time, the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model multiple factor analysis method were used to explore the factors affecting the prognosis of patients after NSCLC radical operations. Results ZNF217 mainly existed in cell nucleus of NSCLC. The positive expression rate of ZNF217 in the cancer tissues was higher than that in the paracancerous tissues [52.5％ (63/120) vs. 20.1％ (25/120), χ 2 = 25.909, P < 0.05]. The positive expression rate of ZNF217 increased with the increase of tumor T stage (χ 2 = 7.333, P = 0.026), N stage (χ 2 = 7.782, P = 0.020) and TNM stage (χ 2 = 11.557, P = 0.003). The overall survival (P = 0.007) and progression-free survival (P = 0.004) of patients with positive ZNF217 were poorer than those of patients with negative ZNF217. Cox multiple factor analysis showed that ZNF217 was an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of NSCLC. Conclusion ZNF217 is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of NSCLC, and it may be a potential target for accurate treatment of NSCLC.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of organophosphate-solubilizing bacteria and compound bacteria on the photosynthesis and physiological and biochemical characteristics of leaves of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis， and to provide a reference for selecting suitable bacterial fertilizers in artificial cultivation of this medicinal species. MethodPot experiment was carried out indoor and the following groups were designed： control （CK）， inoculation with Bacillus mycoides （S1）， inoculation with B. wiedmannii （S2）， inoculation with B. proteolyticus （S3）， inoculation with B. mycoides and B. wiedmannii （S4）， inoculation with B. mycoides and B. proteolyticus （S5）， inoculation with B. wiedmannii and B. proteolyticus （S6）， and inoculation with B. mycoides， B. wiedmannii and B. proteolyticus （S7）. Then， the growth and development， photosynthesis， and various physiological and biochemical indexes of the leaves of this species were observed. ResultCompared with CK， the treatment groups showed decrease in content of malondialdehyde in the leaves （P<0.05）， particularly S7 （content was only about 1/3 that of the CK）. The leaf area， photosynthetic parameters， photosynthetic pigment content， soluble sugar content， soluble protein content， and activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， peroxidase （POD）， and catalase （CAT） in leaves of the treatment groups were all improved. Among them， the leaf area， soluble sugar content， and soluble protein content were the highest in S7， which were 2.8， 2.1， and 2.2 times that of the CK， respectively. SOD activity peaked in S6 （2.9 times higher than that in the CK） and the highest activity of POD and CAT was detected in S5 （1.5 times and 2.1 times， respectively higher than that in the CK）. ConclusionInoculation with different organophosphate-solubilizing bacteria or compound bacteria can promote the growth and development of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis and improve its resistance to stresses. The combination of B. mycoides and B. proteolyticus and the combination of the three achieved the have the best effect. This study provides a reference for the selection of bacterial fertilizers for artificial cultivation of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis.
