Objective:To investigate the effect of long non-coding (lnc) RNA HCP5 on the radiation sensitivity of glioma cells and underlying mechanism.Methods:The glioma cells U251 and U87 were irradiated with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy rays as different doses.si-Con, si-HCP5, pcDNA, and pcDNA-HCP5 were transfected into cells U251 and U87, recorded as si-con group, si-HCP5 group, pcDNA group, and pcDNA-HCP5 group.si-Con and si-HCP5 were transfected into cells U251 and U87, and then irradiated with 4 Gy rays, respectively, recorded as IR+ si-con group and IR+ si-HCP5 group, the cells only irradiated with 4 Gy rays were recorded as IR group.After si-HCP5 with anti-miR-con and anti-miR-508-3p was co-transfected into cell U251 and U87, respectively, irradiated with 4 Gy rays, recorded as IR+ si-HCP5+ anti-miR-con group and IR+ si-HCP5+ anti-miR-508-3p group, respectively, the transfection was performed by liposome method.RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-508-3p and HCP5.Cell clone formation assay was used to detect the radiosensitivity of glioma cells.Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis, dual luciferase Reporter gene detection experiments detects fluorescence activity.Results:HCP5 was highly expressed in radiation-treated glioma cells, and miR-508-3p was lowly expressed.After silenced HCP5, U251 and U87 cells had enhanced radiosensitivity and apoptotic rate((16.67±1.68) vs (3.58±0.62), t=21.929, P<0.05; (12.32±1.08) vs (4.48±0.71), t=18.198, P<0.05) was increased, and γ-H2AX( (0.45±0.04) vs (0.23±0.05), t=10.307, P<0.05; (0.38±0.04) vs (0.24±0.03), t=8.400, P<0.05), Cleaved caspase-3((0.37±0.04) vs (0.16±0.03), t=12.600, P<0.05; (0.38±0.04) vs (0.22±0.03), t=9.600, P<0.05) expressions were increased.Compared with silencing HCP5 or radiation treatment alone, silencing HCP5 and radiation treatment of U251 cells simultaneously, the apoptosis rate ((25.34±1.54) vs (16.67±1.68), t=11.413, P<0.05; (25.34±1.54) vs (11.13±1.06), t=22.802, P<0.05) was significantly increased, and γ-H2AX((0.69±0.05) vs (0.45±0.04), t=11.245, P<0.05; (0.69±0.05) vs (0.31±0.04), t=17.804, P<0.05), Cleaved caspase-3 ((0.52±0.06/0.37±0.04, t=6.240, P<0.05) (0.52±0.06/0.34±0.04, t=7.488, P<0.05) expressions were increased.The expressions of p-PI3K ((0.21±0.02) vs (0.52±0.04), t=20.795, P<0.05; (0.26±0.23 ), ( 0.67±0.07), t=5.116, P<0.05), p- AKT ((0.22±0.03) vs (0.66±0.07), t=17.332, P<0.05; (0.23±0.04) vs (0.71±0.03), t=28.800, P<0.05) in U251 and U87 cells were decreased.HCP5 can target the regulation of miR-508-3p expression; interfering with miR-508-3p reversed the effects of silent HCP5 and radiation on the radiation sensitization and apoptosis of U251 and U87 cells.It reduced the expression levels of reducing γ-H2AX and Cleaved caspase-3, while increased the expression levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT. Conclusion:Silencing lncRNA HCP5 can enhance the radiation sensitivity of glioma cells and promote apoptosis.The mechanism may be related with the miR-508-3p and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which will provide new targets and new ideas for glioma treatment.

Objective:To investigate the relationship and diagnostic value of serum hepatitis B virus(HBV) RNA on liver significant inflammation in chronic hepatitis B (CHB)patients with normal or mildly elevated alanine transaminase (ALT) levels.Methods:A total of 211 treatment-naive CHB patients with ALT

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes of anterolateral thigh flap combined with great saphenous vein transplantations for the treatment of extensive elbow soft tissue defects accompanied by brachial artery embolism.Methods:A retrospective case series study was carried out to investigate the clinical data of 19 patients with extensive elbow soft tissue defects accompanied by brachial artery embolism admitted to Fuyang People's Hospital of Anhui Medical University from March 2017 to March 2020. There were 15 males and 4 females，aged 14-59 years［（37.6±14.1）years］. The areas of elbow soft tissue defects ranged from 7 cm×3 cm to 12 cm×5 cm. Before operation，angiography test was performed to confirm brachial artery embolism of the affected upper limb. The length of embolization ranged from 5 to 12 cm［（7.3±1.6）cm］. All patients were treated using the anterolateral thigh flap combined with great saphenous vein transplantation. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. Angiography test was re-examined one week after operation. The degree of flap swelling，elbow Broberg-Morrey functional score and scar contracture were evaluated at postoperative 3，6，and 12 months. Healing of donor site and postoperative complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-24 months［（18.1±3.0）months］. The operation duration was 3.5-6.4 hours［（4.9±0.8）hours］，with intraoperative blood loss of 200-600 ml［（338.7±101.6）ml］. The blood flow of repaired brachial artery was unobstructed in all patients one week after operation，with all flaps survived. The degree of flap swelling was（0.9±0.3）cm at postoperative 12 months，significantly reduced from that at postoperative 3 and 6 months［（1.2±0.3）cm，（1.1±0.3）cm］（ P<0.05）. The elbow Broberg-Morrey functional score was（87.8±4.8）points，significantly higher than those at postoperative 3 and 6 months［（71.4±7.0）points，（80.2±4.8）points］（ P<0.05）. The rating of elbow function score was excellent in 9 patients，good in 8 and fair in 2 at postoperative 12 months，with the excellent and good rate of 90%. The rate of scar contracture was 63%（12/19）at postoperative 12 months，significantly higher than that at postoperative 3［11%（2/19）］（ P<0.05），while not different from that at postoperative 6 months［42%（8/19）］（ P>0.05）. The donor site was healed in all patients，without complications related to blood vessels or flaps. Conclusions:For extensive elbow soft tissue defect accompanied by brachial artery embolism，the anterolateral thigh flap combined with great saphenous vein transplantations can successfully restore the blood supply of the distal site of the affected limb with a high survival rate of the flap and well recovered limb function，and hence is a feasible method for severe elbow trauma. However，due to various factors such as elbow joint immobilization during perioperative period，scar contracture is prone to occur in the area of the flap.

Objective    To analyze whether hypernatremia within 48 hours after cardiac surgery will increase the incidence of delirium which developed 48 hours later after surgery (late-onset delirium). Methods    We conducted a retrospective analysis of 3 365 patients, including 1 918 males and 1 447 females, aged 18-94 ( 60.53±11.50) years, who were admitted to the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery of Nanjing First Hospital and underwent cardiac surgery from May 2016 to May 2019. Results    A total of 155 patients developed late-onset delirium, accounting for 4.61%. The incidence of late-onset delirium in patients with hypernatremia was 9.77%, the incidence of late onset delirium in patients without hypernatremia was 3.45%, and the difference was statistically different (P<0.001). The odds ratio (OR) of hypernatremia was 3.028 (95% confidence interval: 2.155-4.224, P<0.001). The OR adjusted for other risk factors including elderly patients, previous history of cerebrovascular disease, operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, lactate, hemoglobin≥100 g/L, prolonged mechanical ventilation, left ventricular systolic function, use of epinephrine, use of norepinephrine was 1.524 (95% confidence interval: 1.031-2.231, P=0.032). Conclusion    Hypernatremia within 48 hours after cardiac surgery may increase the risk of delirium in later stages.

Objective: To investigate the effect of lncRNA GIHCG on the radiosensitivity of glioma cells and its mechanism. Methods: The expression levels of GIHCG and miR-146a-3p in human brain normal glial cells HEB and glioma cell lines U251, A172, SHG139 and U87 were quantitatively measured by qRT-PCR assay. U251 and SHG139 cells were used for subsequent experiment. After silencing the expression of GIHCG or overexpressing miR-146a-3p in U251 and SHG139 cells, cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, cell radiosensitivity was detected by colony formation assay and the expression levels of CDK1, CyclinD1, Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were measured by Western blot. The bioinformatics software predicted the presence of a binding site for GIHCG and miR-146a-3p. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and qRT-PCR assay were adopted to verify the targeting relationship between GIHCG and miR-146a-3p. Results: Compared with HEB cells, the expression of GIHCG was significantly up-regulated in glioma U87, U251, A172 and SHG139 cells (all P<0.05), whereas that of miR-146a-3p was remarkably down-regulated (P<0.05). Silencing GIHCG expression or overexpression of miR-146a-3p significantly decreased the U251 and SHG139 cell survival rate, survival fraction and the expression of CDK1, CyclinD1 and Bcl-2 proteins (all P<0.05), whereas considerably increased the apoptotic rate and expression of Bax protein (both P<0.05). GIHCG performed targeted negative regulation of miR-146a-3p expression in U251 and SHG139 cells and inhibition of miR-146a-3p expression reversed the effect of silencing GIHCG on proliferation, apoptosis and radiosensitivity of glioma cells. Conclusion Silencing GIHCG expression up-regulates the expression of miR-146a-3p, thereby enhancing the radiosensitivity of glioma cells.

Objective This study aimed to establish a pre-metastatic niche mouse model utilizing luciferase-labeled Lewis (Luc-Lewis) lung cancer cells and to assess the efficacy of this model employing both qualitative and quantitative methods. Methods C57BL/6 mice were categorized into two groups: a normal control group and a model group, each containing 15 individual mice. The pre-metastatic niche model was established via tail vein injection of Luc-Lewis lung cancer cells. Body mass were measured daily for all groups. Tumor fluorescence signals within the mice were detected using a high-throughput enzyme marker instrument. Lung tissue specimens were harvested to evaluate metastatic progression. HE staining was used to assess histopathological changes. Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of lysyl oxidase (LOX), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), versican (VCAN), and fibronectin (FN), which are the specific markers for the formation of the microenvironment of lung tissues before metastasis. Results Significant declines in body mass and observable lethargy were noted in the model group when compared to the control group. Distinct fluorescence signals were observed in the lung tissue of the model group, demonstrating a positive correlation with the duration of model establishment. By day 14, elevated mRNA and protein expression levels of LOX, MMP9, VCAN, and FN were significantly evident. In addition, histopathological evaluations revealed augmented interstitial thickness, alveolar atrophy and significant inflammatory cell infiltration within the lung tissues of the model group. By the 21st day, metastatic lesions manifested in the lung tissues of the model group, suggesting an approximate pre-metastatic niche maturation timeline of 14 days. Conclusion A pre-metastatic niche mouse model for Lewis lung cancer is successfully established.

Background and objective As computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer becomes more common in China, so too does detection of pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs). Although anumber of national or international guidelines about pulmonary GGNs have been published,most of these guidelines are produced by respiratory, oncology or radiology physicians, who might not fully understand the progress of modern minimal invasive thoracic surgery, and these current guidelines may overlook or underestimate the value of thoracic surgery in the management of pulmonary GGNs. In addition, the management for pre-invasive adenocarcinoma is still controversial. Based onthe available literature and experience from Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, we composed this consensus about diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary GGNs. For lesions which are considered as adenocarcinoma in situ, chest thin layer CT scan follow-up is recommended and resection can only be adopt in some specific cases and excision should not exceed single segment resection. For lesions which are considered as minimal invasive adenocarcinoma, limited pulmonary resection or lobectomy is recommended. For lesions which are considered as early stage invasive adenocarcinoma, pulmonary resection is recommend and optimal surgical methods depend on whether ground glass component exist, location, volume and number of the lesions and physical status of patients. Principle of management of multiple pulmonary nodules is that primary lesions should be handled with priority, with secondary lesions taking into account.

Objective    To compare the clinical effects of segmentectomy and lobectomy for ≤2 cm lung adenocarcinoma with micropapillary and solid subtype negative by intraoperative frozen sections. Methods    The patients with adenocarcinoma who received segmentectomy or lobectomy in multicenter from June 2020 to March 2021 were included. They were divided into two groups according to a random number table, including a segmentectomy group (n=119, 44 males and 75 females with an average age of 56.6±8.9 years) and a lobectomy group (n=115, 43 males and 72 females with an average of 56.2±9.5 years). The clinical data of the patients were analyzed. Results    There was no significant difference in the baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). No perioperative death was found. There was no statistical difference in the operation time (111.2±30.0 min vs. 107.3±34.3 min), blood loss (54.2±83.5 mL vs. 40.0±16.4 mL), drainage duration (2.8±0.6 d vs. 2.6±0.6 d), hospital stay time (3.9±2.3 d vs. 3.7±1.1 d) or pathology staging (P>0.05) between the two groups. The postoperative pulmonary function analysis revealed that the mean decreased values of forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second percent predicted in the segmentectomy group were significantly better than those in the lobectomy group (0.2±0.3 L vs. 0.4±0.3 L, P=0.005; 0.3%±8.1% vs. 2.9%±7.4%, P=0.041). Conclusion    Segmentectomy is effective in protecting lungs function, which is expected to improve life quality of patients.
