Purpose To study the effect and mechanism of miR-199a-5p on the invasion of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Meth-ods miR-199a-5p mimic was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells. Influence of miR-199a-5p on the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cell was displayed by Transwell, the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition ( EMT) molecular markers ( E-cadherin, vimentin) regulated by miR-199a-5p was determined using immunofluorescence and Western blot. Western blot was employed to assess the levels of ERK5, pERK5, EGF and SP1 in MDA-MB-231 cells dealt with miR-199a-5p mimic and LNA-siRNA. Chromatin immunoprecipita-tion (CHIP) was applied for displaying the reaction of SP1 with ERK5 promoter. Results miR-199a-5p could inhibit the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells, decrease the expression of vimentin and enhance E-cadherin. Meanwhile, miR-199a-5p decreased the expression of ERK5 and pERK5, the levels of EGF and SP1 were also downregulated. On the contrary, the levels of EGF, SP1, ERK5 and pERK5 were enhanced by employing LNA-siRNA targeting miR-199a-5p. SP1 could bind with ERK5 promoter. Conclusions miR-199a-5p could reduce the expression of ERK5 and pERK5 through regulating EGF and SP1, which functioning the inhibitory effect on invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Antiphospholipid syndrome(APS) is a autoimmune system disorder caused by thrombosis and is usually accompanied with persistent positive. Antiphospholipid antibodies profiles(aPLs) is the key to diagnosing APS. The most frequently detectable aPLs in current clinical applications are anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), anti-β2 glycoprotein Ⅰantibodies (anti-β2 GPI), and lupus anticoagulant (LA).However, it is found that the current laboratory diagnostic standard for APS based on these three aPL have many defects. The standard can′t meet the clinical needs. In this article, the research and development of antiphospholipid antibody in recent years are summarized, and the clinical value of non-classified standard antibodies such as IgA antibody isotype and anti-domain 1 β2-glycoprotein I antibody are reviewed.

Purpose To investigate the expressions of PKCζ, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in breast cancer and the relationship with the inva-sion and metastasis of breast cancer. Methods The expression of PKCζ, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in 100 cases with breast cancer was as-sessed with immunohistochemistry PV 9000 method. PKCζ-siRNA was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cell lines, called siPKCζ/MDA-MB-231. While siRNA construct containing a scrambled sequence was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells to generate control cells, which were designated as Scr/MDA231 cells. Western blotting was used to measure the expression of PKCζ in transfected cells, and the Transwell invasion assay was used to detect the invasion ability in vitro. The content of MMP-2, MMP-9 were measured by ELISA. Results The expression rates of PKCζ, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in breast cancer tissues were 62.5%, 37.5% and 32.5%, and there were significant differences among them (P<0.05). The expression of PKCζwas much higher than those in the normal breast tissues nearby. The expression of PKC protein was assoiated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis (P<0.01), but was not correla-ted with other clinicopathologic parameters, such as age, tumor size, histological type, ER, PR, and so on (P>0.05). The expres-sion of PKCζ, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were lower in siPKCζ/ MDA-MB-231 group than those in scr/ MDA-MB-231 group, and the in vitro invasion ability was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions PKCζ can promote the invasion and metastasis of breast canc-er, and correlated with the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9(P<0.05).

Objective:To compare the real-world efficacy and safety profile of tenofovir amibufenamid (TMF) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) tablets in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods:This retrospective study included patients with chronic hepatitis B who received TMF and TAF antiviral treatment at the Infectious Disease Outpatient Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to December 2023. The primary and secondary outcome was to study the patient HBV DNA conversion rate (<20 IU/ml), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization rate, renal function, and lipid levels of patients at 48 weeks of treatment. The comparison of data between measurement data groups was differentiated using a t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. The inter-group comparison rate in count data was performed using the χ2 test or Fisher's exact probability. Results:A total of 440 cases were enrolled, including 220 in the TMF group (63 treatment-na?ve and 157 treatment-experienced) and 220 cases in the TAF group (61 treatment-na?ve and 159 treatment-experienced). In terms of efficacy, the HBV DNA seroconversion rates in the TMF group and TAF group were 90.5% and 85.2% ( P=0.372), respectively, while the ALT normalization rates were 92.1% and 88.5% ( P=0.505), respectively, at 48 weeks of treatment. The HBV DNA-negative conversion rate for the newly treated patients was 99.4% and 98.7%, respectively ( P=1.000), while the rates of ALT normalization were 94.9% and 92.3%, respectively ( P=0.863). In terms of safety profile, the serum creatinine level was lower in the TMF group than that in the TAF group at 48 weeks of treatment [TMF group 66.5 (56.3, 78.3) μmol/L, TAF group 70.6 (60.7, 77.8) μmol/L, Z=-2.282, P=0.022]. However, there was no statistically significant difference in other renal function and tubular function related indicators between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). The serum high-density lipoprotein levels were higher in the TMF group than those in the TAF group [TMF 1.4 (1.1, 1.6) mmol/L vs. TAF group 1.3 (1.1, 1.6) mmol/L, Z=-2.204, P=0.027] at 48 weeks of treatment. However, there was no statistically significant difference in other blood lipid indicators between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). Conclusion:There is no statistically significant difference in efficacy and safety profiles between TMF and TAF at 48 weeks in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B, and the overall safety profile is favorable.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of ropinirole in treating Parkinson’s Disease (PD) by meta-analysis of clinical randomized controlled studies. Methods The American national Library of medicine (Pubmed),Cochrane Library (Cochrane Library),Dutch medical literature database (Embase),CNKI (CNKI),wanfang knowledge service platform,and wiper journal network were searched by computer to search the relevant studies on the efficacy and safety of ropinello in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The scores of the unified Parkinson’s disease assessment scale part Ⅱ (UPDRS Ⅱ),part Ⅲ (UPDRS Ⅲ) and the incidence of adverse events in each group were extracted. Cochrane risk bias assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature,and RevMan5.3 software was used for Meta analysis. Results A total of 732 articles were found through computer database retrieval,and 12 RCT studies on the efficacy and safety of PD treatment with ropinero were finally included,including 1855 patients in the experimental group and 1486 patients in the control group. Results of meta-analysis showed that,compared with placebo group,the scores of UPDRS Ⅱ(MD -2.23,95%CI -2.82~-1.64,P<0.00001) and UPDRS Ⅲ(MD -4.93,95%CI -5.25~-4.61,P<0.00001) in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in the ropinelo group were more significantly reduced in terms of drug efficacy. In terms of the incidence of adverse reactions,the incidence of dyspraxia (RR 3.67,95%CI 2.57~5.24,P<0.00001),dizziness (RR 1.85,95%CI 1.50~2.28,P<0.00001),nausea (RR 2.17,95%CI 1.81~2.59,P<0.00001),vomiting (RR 2.73,95%CI 1.47~5.09,P=0.001) and sleepiness (RR 2.19,95%CI 1.39~3.44,Both P=0.0007) were higher than those in the placebo group,with statistically significant differences. The incidence rates of headache (RR 1.14,95%CI 0.79~1.65,P=0.49),insomnia (RR 1.06,95%CI 0.72~1.55,P=0.17),postural hypotension (RR 1.35,95%CI 0.81~2.22,P=0.25) and constipation (RR 1.03,95%CI 0.71~1.50,P=0.87) were all lower than those of the placebo group,with no statistically significant difference. Conclusion In this study,the method of meta-analysis showed that the improvement rate of daily living ability and motor function score of PD patients treated with ropinelol was significantly higher than that of patients receiving placebo. Ropinelol was well tolerated and safe,and most adverse reactions were related to peripheral dopaminergic activities.
