Objective To study the effect of Bortezomib on proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycles and activation of NF-?B of non-small cell lung cancer cells (NSCLC) in vitro. Methods The inhibitory action of Bortezomib on cellular growth was determined by MTT. The effects of Bortezomib on cell cycle and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry. The influence of Bortezomib on the expressions of NF-?B, I?B and Bcl-2 were detected with Western blotting. Results The inhibitory effects of Bortezomib on the proliferation of NSCLC cells showed a time-and concentration-dependent manner. The growth of NSCLC cells was arrested at G2/M stage after treatment with Bortesomib at 25nmol/L for 48h. Basal expression of NF-?B was found to exist in all the 6 cell lines, with NF-?B expression in nucleus showing an inverse correlation with I?B expression in cytoplasm. Bortezomib threw no significant influence on the basal expression of NF-?B, but significantly blocked the TNF-?-induced nuclear translocation of NF-?B and down-regulated the expression of anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2 in a time-and concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion With NF-?B-dependent pathway, Bortezomib may inhibit the proliferation of NSCLC cells and induce apoptosis.

Objective To study the immune intervention effect and mechanism of blockage of macrophage-mediated PD1 /PD-L1 pathways with functional PD-L1(programmed cell death ligand-1,PD-L1)monoclonal antibody upon tuberculosis(TB)relapse in mice. Methods Female C57BL/6 mice were infected by tail vein injection of 106CFU M. tuberculosis H37Rv to obtain active TB infection. Two weeks postinfection, the mice in different groups were administered isoniazid(10 mg/kg)(group ISO)and isoniazid combined with PD-L1 monoclonal antibody(50 μg/each)(group ISO+PD-L1)respectively,continued for four weeks to obtain latent infection. The subsequent relapse was monitored. Among the treatment groups,the TB relapse was induced by TNF-α antibody(50 ug/each)for four weeks from the beginning of latent stage. At each scheduled time point, bacterial loads and pathological changes in the lung, spleen and liver were quantitatively analyzed,thereby,the in vivo intervention effect of PD-L1 monoclonal antibody on tuberculosis recurrence in mice was revealed. The in vitro experiment was further explored whether knock-down the expression of PD-L1 on the infected macrophages could accerlate the macrophage apoptosis. Results The bacterial burden reached 3-4 Lg(CFU/mL),and granuloma lesions were extensive in the lung, spleen and liver in the all infected groups, which appeared as active TB stage at 2nd week postinfection. After treated,the bacterial burden of the lung,spleen and liver was decreased, and the pathological lesions alleviated in the group ISO and group ISO+PD-L1, compared with the model control group, showing significant differences, but there was no significant difference between the two treatment groups. However, compared with the group ISO,the group ISO+PD-L1 had a significantly lower bacterial load and milder pathological lesions during the relapse period. Futhermore, knock-down the expression of PD-L1 on macrophages with anti-PD-L1 or PD-L1-siRNA promoted apoptosis in macrophages. Conclusions Blockade of the PD1/PD-L1 pathway by PD-L1 functional antibody can inhibit TB relapse in mice,and knock-down the expression of PD-L1 on macrophages or PD1/PD-L1 pathway with functional antibody can promote apoptosis in macrophages,which together indicate that PD-L1 blockage can effectively promote isoniazid treatment of TB and remarkably inhibit the recurrence of TB in mice.

The national outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought a severe challenge to the management of standardized residency training (SRT). To protect SRT residents from being infected by 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), to guarantee the training program well carried out, and to prevent psychological health problems are conundrums to the management of SRT. In this article, the specific countermeasures are introduced from the following aspects: perfecting the management system, implementing quarantine and life support, conducting epidemic prevention and control training, turning training patterns suitable to epidemic prevention, and maintaining the psychological health of the residents. And we expect to provide references for SRT management under the public health emergency in the future.

OBJECTIVES: Atrial fibrillation (AF) contributes to stroke development and progression. We aimed to quantify the mediating role of AF in the causal associations between a wide range of risk factors and stroke via a Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. METHODS: We assessed the associations of 108 traits with stroke and its subtypes in a 2-sample univariable MR approach, then conducted a bidirectional MR analysis between these 108 traits and AF to evaluate the presence and direction of their causal associations. Finally, to further investigate the extent to which AF mediated the effects of eligible traits on stroke, we applied multivariable and 2-step MR techniques in a mediation analysis where outcomes were restricted to stroke types causally affected by AF (any stroke [AS], any ischemic stroke [AIS], and cardioembolic stroke [CES]). RESULTS: Among 108 traits, 42 were putatively causal for at least 1 stroke type; of these 42 traits, 20 that had no bidirectional relationship with AF were retained. Finally, 33 associations of 15 eligible traits were examined in the mediation analysis. The mediation analyses for AS, AIS, and CES each included 11 eligible traits. After AF adjustment, the direct effects of all traits on CES were attenuated to null (all p>0.05), while the associations with AS and AIS persisted for most traits (AF-mediated proportion: from 6.6% [95% confidence interval, 2.7 to 0.6] to 52.0% [95% confidence interval, 39.8 to 64.3]). CONCLUSIONS The causal associations between all eligible traits and CES were largely mediated through AF, while most traits affected AS and AIS independently of AF.

OBJECTIVE: To detect the expression of miR-126 in different tissues and organs and the change of peripheral blood glucose in microRNA-126 knock down (miR-126 KD) mouse, and to explore the pathological significance. METHODS: Total RNAs were isolated from twelve kinds of tissues and organs in wild-type mouse (WT) and miR-126 KD mouse respectively. Th en, the expression level of miR-126 was detected by real-time PCR assay. Th e levels of peripheral blood glucose and body weight of miR-126 KD mice were measured. Th e pathologic changes of pancreas and lung tissue were observed by HE staining. RESULTS: Compared with the WT mice, the relative expression of miR-126 in spleen, liver, muscle and lung from the miR-126 KD mice were dramatically decreased respectively (P<0.05). The level of peripheral blood glucose in the miR-126 KD mouse increased significantly at seven week and sixteen week after the birth (P<0.05). HE staining showed that the pathological structure of pancreas and liver were abnormal. The body weight of miR-126 KD mice was increased obviously from thirteen week after birth (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Peripheral blood glucose levels in the miR-126 KD mouse were dramatically elevated, which might be related to the pathological changes in the structure of pancreas and liver. These results suggest that miR-126 may play an important role in the metabolism of blood glucose and the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
