OBJECTIVE: To explore the expression and significance of second mitochondria derived activator of caspase (Smac), X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP)and cysteine containing aspartate specific protease 3 (caspase-3) in the growth, development and carcinogenesis of the nonnasal inverted papilloma (NIP). METHOD: Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Smac, XIAP, caspase-3 in 10 cases of nasal cavity mucosae (NM) and 45 cases of NIP, the group of NIP including 25 cases of NIP without dysplasia, 11 cases of NIP with dysplasia, and 9 cases of NIP with malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). RESULT: The intensity of the positive expression of Smac, Caspase-3 in NIP were lower than NM, the intensity of the positive expression decreased with the decreasing degree of histological differentiation. There was a significant difference between NIP without dysplasia and SCC. It was presented with a progressive tendency for the expression of XIAP in the group of NM and NIP. The lower degree of histological differentiation, the higher intensity of the positive expression. The expression between NIP without dysplasia and SCC had a significant difference. Smac negatively correlated with XIAP (r(s) = -0.323, P < 0.05), XIAP negatively correlated with caspase-3 (r(s) = -0.408, P < 0.01), Smac positively correlated with caspase 3 (r(s) = 0.424, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Smac, XIAP, caspase 3 might be associated with the growth and carcinogenesis of NIP.

Ras-associated domain family 1A (RASSF1A) genes are members of the RASSF family, which bind to Ras in a guanosine triphosphate(GTP)-dependent manner and then induce Ras-mediated apoptosis. The protein encoded by the RASSF1A gene is similar to the Ras effector protein, which can interact with DNA repair protein XPA, and can also inhibit the accumulation of cyclin D1, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest. The deletion or abnormal expression of RASSF1A gene is related to the pathogenesis of various malignant tumors, indicating that it has tumor suppressor function. RASSF1A gene methylation has been found in at least 37 tumors, and RASSF1A gene may be the most frequently described methylated gene in human cancers. In this paper, the abnormal methylation of RASSF1A gene in different malignant tumors was introduced, and the research progress of its related effects and mechanisms in malignant tumors of the respiratory system, digestive system, genitourinary system, and nervous system in recent years was reviewed, with a view to malignant tumors early diagnosis, individual molecular targeted therapy and prognostic evaluation provide important guidance.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of obesity in adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) and its association with the depressed severity.Methods:A total of 278 adolescents with MDD were recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Their demographic data were collected and 24-item Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-24) was used to evaluate their severity of depression. According to the body mass index (BMI) classification standard of adolescents in China, all subjects were classified into four groups(wasting group, normal BMI group, overweight group and obesity group). SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. The Kruskal-Wallis test and the Chi-square test were separately used for the comparison of the four groups.Spearman correlation was used to explore the relationship between BMI and HAMD-24 scores and severity.Results:Among 278 adolescents with MDD, the prevalence of body abnormality was 32.4% (90/278), among which wasting, overweight and obesity were 9.0% (25/278), 14.4% (40/278) and 9.0% (25/278) respectively. There were statistically differences in gender ( χ2=17.018, P<0.001), HAMD-24 scores ( H=9.427, P=0.024) and depressed severity( H=8.508, P=0.037) among the four groups. Multiple comparisons showed that there were only statistically differences between obesity group and normal BMI group, that was the prevalence of obesity in males was higher than that in females ( χ2=13.631, P<0.001), and the level in HAMD-24 scores ( Z=2.956, P=0.003) and depressed severity ( Z=2.832, P=0.005) was lower in obesity group than that in normal BMI group.Spearman correlation analysis showed that BMI was negatively correlated with HAMD-24 scores ( r=-0.162, P=0.007). Conclusion:There is gender difference in obesity rates among the adolescent patients with first-episode untreated MDD. And the obese patients are less depressed than those with normal BMI.

The pathogenesis theory of"spleen deficiency and stasis toxin"in gastric cancer holds that spleen is the source of generation and transformation of qi and blood,that spleen deficiency is the internal basis of disease and throughout the disease.Stasis toxin is based on spleen deficiency,which is the fundamental pathogenesis of gastric cancer.In the pathological process of gastric cancer,a variety of metabolic substances in tumor cells and tumor microenvironment,mainly glucose metabolic reprogramming,undergo metabolic changes to reconstruct the phenotype and function of tumor-related macrophages,which is consistent with the pathogenesis theory of"spleen deficiency and stasis toxin".Therefore,this article focused on the reprogramming of glucose metabolism in tumor microenvironment to drive the phenotypic remodeling of tumor-related macrophages,explored the scientific connotation of the pathogenesis theory of"spleen deficiency and stasis toxin"of gastric cancer,and provided references for the theoretical and clinical research on the treatment of gastric cancer by TCM.

Objective:To screen risk factors for carotid plaque vulnerability in patients with ischemic stroke and construct a risk prediction model.Methods:From November 2019 to January 2021, a total of 164 patients with ischemic stroke hospitalized in the Neurology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University were selected as the study subjects by convenience sampling method. Color doppler ultrasound was used to measure carotid plaques in patients with ischemic stroke to determine whether they were vulnerable plaques. The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire and the Type D Personality Scale. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of carotid plaque vulnerability in ischemic stroke patients, and based on this, a risk prediction model for carotid plaque vulnerability in ischemic stroke patients was constructed.Results:A total of 87 patients with ischemic stroke had vulnerable carotid plaques. The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.136, 95% CI: 1.052-1.226), total score of Type D Personality Scale ( OR=1.170, 95% CI: 1.043-1.312), smoking history ( OR=3.058, 95% CI: 1.054-8.875), homocysteine ( OR=1.400, 95% CI: 1.179-1.664), triglycerides ( OR=2.356, 95% CI: 1.534-3.619) were risk factors for carotid plaque vulnerability in stroke patients ( P<0.05). The results of risk prediction model based on risk factors show that, the area under the receiver operating characteristic of the subjects was 0.935, indicating good clinical predictive ability. Conclusions:Age, total score of Type D Personality Scale, smoking history, homocysteine and triglyceride are risk factors of carotid plaque vulnerability in stroke patients. The risk prediction model can early identify and screen high-risk factors for carotid plaque vulnerability in ischemic stroke patients, and is worthy of clinical promotion and practice.

Objective To investigate the relationship between disrupted corticospinal tract (CST) and motor recovery after stroke by using diffusion tensor tracking (DTT). Methods From March, 2012 to June, 2013, 15 chronic stroke patients with left subcortical lesions and 15 age- and sex- matched healthy subjects were performed diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) examination. The CST was tracked by DTT technique, and the damaged values of the CST caused by the stroke lesions were quantified using a CST template generated from healthy controls. Furthermore, the correlations of the damaged values of the CST with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) were performed. Results The range of the damaged values of CST in stroke patients was 0.00% to 29.6%. There were very strong negative correlation between the damaged values of the CST and FMA scores (the wrist, r = -0.660; hand, r = -0.813; wrist plus hand, r = -0.795, respectively, P < 0.01). It also showed strong negative correlation between the damaged values of the CST and FMA scores (upper limb, r = -0.614; upper limb plus lower limb, r = -0.563, respectively, P < 0.05). Whereas, there was no correlation between the damaged values of the CST and FMA scores of lower limb (r = -0.270, P = 0.331). In addition, the lesion volumes of stroke and FMA scores were not significantly correlated (P > 0.05). Conclusion The severity of motor deficit after stroke was closely related to the overlap of lesions with CST. The damaged values of the CST based on DTT may be used as a potential biomarker to assess motor impairments of upper limbs, especially hand and wrist in stroke patients.
