Objective:To explore whether microRNA-21-5p (miR-21-5p) has the effect of anti-apoptosis of human alveolar typeⅡ epithelial cells (ATⅡ).Methods:ATⅡ cells derived from the human were cultured in vitro and used for experiments when the cells were grown until the presence of lamellar bodies and microvilli were observed by light microscope. The cells were divided into blank control group (direct culture), hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) injury group (cultured with 0.5 mmol/L H 2O 2), and miR-21-5p overexpression group (using miR-21-5p with a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 100 lentiviral overexpression vector with 0.5 mmol/L H 2O 2) and miR-21-5p empty virus control group (miR-21-5p lentiviral blank vector was co-cultured with 0.5 mmol/L H 2O 2). In each group, cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) at 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours of cell culture; cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry at 24 hours of culture. Results:① Cell proliferation activity test results: with the extension of cell culture time, the cell proliferation activity of the blank control group gradually increased, while the cell proliferation activity gradually decreased after the addition of 0.5 mmol/L H 2O 2. However, the cells proliferation activity in the miR-21-5p overexpression group decreased more slowly than that in the H 2O 2 injury group and the miR-21-5p empty virus control group, and the cell proliferation activity at 48 hours was significantly higher than the H 2O 2 injury group and the miR-21-5pempty virus control group ( A value: 0.295±0.005 vs. 0.184±0.005, 0.169±0.002, both P < 0.05). It showed that both H 2O 2 and lentivirus accelerated cell damage, while miR-21-5p could reduce cell apoptosis. ② Apoptosis rate test results: compared with the blank control group, the apoptosis rate increased significantly after adding 0.5 mmol/L H 2O 2; while the apoptosis rate of the miR-21-5p overexpression group was lower than that of the H 2O 2 injury group and miR-21-5p empty virus control group [early apoptosis rate: (14.31±0.12)% vs. (24.50±0.12)%, (23.41±0.13)%; late apoptosis rate: (8.12±0.13)% vs. (9.71±0.11)%, (10.41±0.15)%; overall apoptosis rate: (22.33±0.12)% vs. (34.21±0.10)%, (33.82±0.14)%; all P < 0.05], which further proved that miR-21-5p had anti-apoptotic effects. Conclusion:miR-21-5p has an anti-apoptotic effect on human ATⅡ.

BACKGROUND:Articular process of joint is an important bony structure to maintain the spinal stability and normal physiological activities. Clinical study found that bilateral articular process asymmetry is also one of the causes of vertebral degeneration, but the existing research mainly focuses on the adult, and give priority to with cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra. OBJECTIVE:To explore the morphological and developmental characteristics of thoracic facet joints and bony structures of 10 to 12-year-old children and compare with data of adults. METHODS:A total of 30 normal cases aging from 10 to 12 years were admitted into this study. No cases experienced bone destruction, deformity, fractures, or tumors, and spine surgery was not involved in. DICOM 3.0 data of multi-slice spiral CT (0.625-1.25 mm), ranging from T1 to T12, were used for three-dimensional reconstruction, measurement and statistical analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Joint width overal trends in“V”. Joint surface height from T1 to T12 increased gradual y with the increase of the operation sequence. (2) The joint thickness from T1 to T12 showed a gradual y increasing trend with the increase of the job sequence;articular process under the joint thickness was gentle. In the left and right sides of the upper and lower joints, joint surface width, height, and thickness did not show significant difference in addition to the significant difference between the individual vertebral body. Joints spacing on the side and there was no significant difference between upper and lower, articular process spacing between sides showed an increasing trend with the increase of operation sequence;upper and lower joints spacing increased with the job sequence, and showed wide“U”shape. (3) These results confirmed that the application of three-dimensional reconstruction techniques can display shape and characteristics of each vertebral body clearly and intuitively and improve measurement accuracy. Width and height of facet joints in 10-12-year-old school children were overal smal er than those of adults. The distance between upper and lower facet joints changed a little. Distance between left and right facet joints increased from T1 to T12, which complies with the growth and development of children.

Objective - To optimize the extraction and quantification methods for the determination of S phenylmercapturic acid - Methods (SPMA) in urine with performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The urine was hydrolyzed with 50.0% sulfuric acid. The hydrolysate was purified by solid phase extraction column. Purified samples were separated by C18 chromatographic column and detected by tandem mass spectrometry. The isotope labeled SPMA was used as the internal Results - standard. The internal standard curve was used for quantification. The linear range of SPMA was 0.50 50.00 μg/L with the correlation coefficient of 0.999 8. The detection limit and the lower limit of quantification were 0.05 and 0.17 μg/L, - - - - respectively. The recovery rate was 97.0% 102.0%. The within run and between run relative standard deviation were 0.6% 1.0% - and 1.7% 6.5%, respectively. The mass concentration of urinary SPMA in the occupational benzene exposure group was - vs P higher than the non occupational benzene exposure group by this method (median: 2.81 0.28 μg/g creatinine, <0.05). Conclusion Compared to the national standard method, this optimized method of solid phase extraction and internal standard for quantification eliminates the matrix effect. This method is accurate and precise, and is suitable for the determination of SPMA acid in urine.
