OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of penehyclidine on the level of cytokines in infants with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB).METHODS:A total of 60 children with congenital heart disease(CHD)were divided into three groups:Group P1(intramuscularly injected with penehyclidine before operation),Group P2(intramuscularly injected with penehyclidine before and after operation),and Group C(intramuscularly injected with atropine before operation).The levels of cytokine were determined at different time.Postoperative salivary secretion and X-ray of chest were observed.RESULTS:After CPB,the levels of the inflammatory cytokine in all the three groups were significantly higher,with those in Group P1 and P2 significantly lower than in Group C(P

Background and purpose: Long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 5 (lncRNA SNHG5) plays a cancer-promoting role in many cancers, however its effect on colorectal cancer (CRC) and its regulatory mechanism are not clear. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of lncRNA SNHG5/miR-26a-5p/metadherin (MTDH) signal axis promoting metastasis of CRC. Methods: The data of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was analyzed, the abnormal expression of lncRNA in CRC was explored and analyzed the survival. Samples of CRC, paracancerous tissues and complete clinical data of patients who underwent surgical resection from October 2020 to October 2021 were collected. The expression levels of SNHG5 and miR-26a-5p in lncRNA were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR), and the expression level of MTDH was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between the relative expression level of lncRNA SNHG5 in CRC and clinicopathological features and survival time was analyzed. The effects of lncRNA SNHG5 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), clone formation, scratching assays, transwell test and in vivo xenotransplantation. The relationship between CRC cell metastasis, the expression level of epithelial-mesenchymal transition related molecules and lncRNA SNHG5 expression level by Western blot and immunohistochemical detection were explored. The physical interaction between SNHG5 and miR-26a-5p, MTDH and miR-26a-5p was studied by RNA pull-down test, double luciferase reporter gene detection and RNA co-immunoprecipitation. The functional relationship among the three was verified by CCK-8, EdU and transwell experiments. The effect of SNHG5, miR-26a-5p and MTDH expression on migration and invasion related molecules was analyzed by Western blot. Results: The results of TCGA database analysis showed that lncRNA SNHG5 was significantly upregulated in CRC. The results of RTFQ-PCR and immunohistochemistry showed that the levels of lncRNA SNHG5 and MTDH in CRC tissues were significantly upregulated (P<0.05), the level of miR-26a-5p was decreased (P<0.05), and the level of MTDH in samples with high expression of SNHG5 was also increased. The expression of lncRNA SNHG5 in CRC tissues with serosa and extraserosal invasion, distant metastasis, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage Ⅲ was significantly higher compared with subserosal invasion, no distant metastasis and lymph node metastasis and TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ (P<0.05). The results of survival analysis showed that the high expression of lncRNA SNHG5 was significantly correlated with overall survival rate (P<0.05). Overexpression of lncRNA SNHG5 could enhance the proliferation, clone formation, migration and invasion of CRC cells, promote the growth and lung metastasis of transplanted tumor, increase the relative expression level of Ki-67 proliferation index and vimentin (P<0.05), and decrease the relative expression level of E-cadherin (P<0.05). However, the development of CRC cells was inhibited after inhibition of lncRNA SNHG5 expression. RNA pull-down test, double luciferase reporter gene detection and RNA co-immunoprecipitation confirmed the physical interaction between SNHG5 and miR-26a-5p, MTDH and miR-26a-5p. Upregulation of miR-26a-5p or downregulation of MTDH expression in lncRNA SNHG5 overexpressed cells partially reversed the effects of lncRNA SNHG5 on proliferation, migration, invasion and expression of related molecules in CRC cells. Conclusion: LncRNA SNHG5 is upregulated in CRC tissues and cells, and its high expression is related to tumor progression and poor survival. It can be used as a molecular sponge of miR-26a-5p to regulate the expression of MTDH to promote the proliferation and metastasis of SW620 cells.

Objective To investigate the value of the quantitative analysis of digital subtraction angiography(DSA)and dynamic contrast-enhanced CT in evaluating the efficacy of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)for liver cancer.Methods Fifty patients who were clinically diagnosed with primary liver cancer and treated with HAIC at least 3 times were enrolled in the study.Based on the enhanced CT scans taken within 1 week before the 1st and 3rd HAIC,patients were divided into good response group(CR+PR)and poor response group(SD+PD)according to the modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumor.The hemodynamic parameters[time to peak(TP),peak density(PV),and slope of the rising edge of the time-density curve(SU)]of liver cancer on DSA before treatment and after two HAIC,as well as the changes in the CT values of liver cancer in each phase of CT enhancement were compared,and then sensitivity analysis was conducted.Significant indicators were further analyzed with Logistic regression and ROC curve to assess their efficacies in evaluating HAIC response in liver cancer.Results The differences in pre-treatment CT values and DSA indicators between two groups were trivial(P>0.05).All patients successfully completed HAIC twice.The enhanced CT taken 1 week before the 3rd HAIC showed reductions in the arterial-and venous-phase CT values in good response group(P<0.05),while no significant difference was found in the delayed-phase CT value(P>0.05).At the 3rd HAIC,DSA angiography demonstrated significant reductions in PV and SU,and a significant prolongation of TP in good response group(P<0.05);while there were no significant differences in various indicators in poor response group.Regression analysis showed that arterial-phase CT values and DSA angiography SU were significantly correlated with therapeutic efficacy.ROC curve results indicated that arterial-phase CT values and SU were effective indicators for evaluating therapeutic efficacy.Conclusion The SU from DSA angiography and the CT values from dynamic contrast-enhanced CT which can objectively reflect the changes in blood supply of liver cancer after HAIC and are associated with HAIC efficacy can serve as radiological evidence for evaluating HAIC response.
