Objective To investigate the expression profile of miRNAs up-regualted in human extrahepatic and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma tissues and probe the effect on cell growth of four of these miRNAs in QBC939 cell line.Methods Up-regulated miRNAs in extrahepatic or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma tissues were analyzed by using miRNA-microarray,which was confirmed by using miRNA Real-Time PCR analysis.Based on these findings,four of these up-regulated miNRAs were chosen to perform function investigation.The specific miRNA inhibitors were transfected into QBC939 cells,respectively,and cell proliferation assay was performed by using MTT.Results 12 miRNAs were up-regulated both in two types of cholangiocarcinoma tissues,28 miRNAs and 21 miRNAs were up-regulated in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma,respectively.MiR-125b and miR-19a expression levels were increased about 3.7 and 3.6 fold,compared with the matched normal bile duct tissues (P<0.05).MiR-92a and miR-205 expression was upregulated about 4.S- and 3.5-fold,compared with the matched normal bile duct tissues (P<0.05).MiR-125b,miR19a,miR-21,and miR 378* were inhibited in QBC939 cells,which indicated a significant inhibitory effect on cell growth.The ratio of inhibition was 71%,72%,69%,and 76%(P<0.05)at 36 h,61%,63%,60%,and 59%(P<0.01) at 48 h,and 61%、56%、60% and 59%(P<0.05) at 60 h.Conclusion The miRNAs expression patterns in human extrahepatic and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma tissues are different and uo-regulated miRNAs act as oncomirs on cholangiocarcinoma cell growth.

Clinical data of 655 patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Luoyang Central Hospital during January 2017 to March 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 425 cases who first visited PCI-capable hospital (PCI hospital group) and 230 cases who were transferred to PCI-capable hospital (transfer group). Compared with PCI hospital group, STEMI patients in the transfer group had a shorter first diagnosis time [2.0 (0.8, 4.2)h vs. 2.5(1.2, 4.1)h, Z=3.66, P<0.01], longer time from first medical contact to the balloon through (FMC2B) [175 (113, 344) min vs. 75 (57, 112) min, Z=-8.92, P<0.01], longer total ischemic time [5.4 (3.5, 9.8) h vs. 3.9 (2.4, 6.0) h, Z=-5.43, P<0.01]. There was no significant difference in the time from PCI hospital entry to balloon passage (DTB) between the two groups [43(29, 103) min vs. 46 (61, 94) min, Z=-0.56, P=0.573]. The compliance rate of FMC2B time<120 min in the transfer group was only 25.9% (50/193). However, the different first-visit hospital had no significant effect on the risk of heart failure ( OR=0.54, 95 %CI:0.16-1.79, P=0.311) and risk of death ( OR=1.14, 95 %CI:0.20-6.36, P=0.885). The results suggest that STEMI patients referred to PCI hospitals have considerable time delay, and the rate of compliance with FMC2B time<120 min is low.
