Objective To explore the expression of annexin A10 (ANXA10) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and analyze its correlation with matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),thus to provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and assessment of HCC.Methods 88 HCC patients were selected,and they were all performed surgical treatment,HCC stage Ⅰ in 11 cases,stage Ⅱ 25 cases,stage Ⅲ 31 cases,stage ⅣV 21 cases.The expressions of ANXA10,MMP-9,VEGF of HCC cancer tissues,adjacent liver tissues and normal liver tissues were tested by immunohistochemical method.The correlation of ANXA10 with VEGF and MMP-9 was analyzed.Results The absorbance value of ANXA10 expression in the HCC cancer tissue was (0.074 ± 0.012),which was lower than that in the adjacent liver tissues [(0.091 ± 0.013)] and normal liver tissues[(0.131 ±0.025)],and ANXA10 expression of the adjacent liver tissue was lower than that of the normal liver tissues,the differences were statistically significant (t =8.96,9.44,8.71,all P < 0.05).The absorbance values of MMP-9 and VEGF expression in the HCC cancer tissue were (0.147 ± 0.017) and (0.127 ± 0.028),respectively,which were higher than those in the adjacent liver tissues [(0.096 ± 0.012),(0.091 ± 0.015)] and normal liver tissues [(0.075 ± 0.014),(0.077 ± 0.019)].The absorbance values of MMP-9 and VEGF of the adjacent liver tissues were higher than those of the normal liver tissues,the differences were statistically significant (t =8.05,9.30,8.11;8.28,9.51,8.02,all P < 0.05).The absorbance value of ANXA 10 expression in the HCC stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ cancer tissue was (0.056 ± 0.010),which was lower than that in the stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ cancer tissue [(0.082 ±0.016)],the difference was statistically significant (t =8.90,P < 0.05).The absorbance values of MMP-9 and VEGF expression in the stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ cancer tissue were (0.157 ± 0.022) and (0.169 ± 0.033),respectively,which were higher than those in the stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ cancer tissue [(0.114 ±0.015),(0.091 ±0.021)],the differences were statistically significant (t =9.13,9.72,all P < 0.05).ANXA10 was correlated with MMP-9 and VEGF (r =0.324,0.295,all P < 0.05).Conclusion ANXA10 presents lower expression in HCC cell,and the expression decreased with the increase of staging.It is negatively related with the MMP-9 and VEGF.ANXA10 expression missing or inactivation of malignant change may be one of the most important features in HCC.

Objective To compare the different expression of EBNA-1 in the normal human lymphocytes and in the EBV-induced lymphomas so as to provide the basis for studying the mechanism of the EB virus-induced lymphoma. Methods Animal model of EBV-induced lymphoma was constructed in SCID mice. EBNA-1 gene expression level was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. Results EBV-induced lymphomas in animal model were replicated. EBNA-1 gene was expressed both in normal human lymphoma cells and 3 EBV-induced lymphoma cells. In EBV-induced lymphoma cells , the expression was up-regulated 11 683 times than in normal lymphocytes. Western blot results showed that the expression of EBNA-1 protein in induced lymphoma cells increased significantly compared with that in normal lymphocytes. Conclusions EBNA-1 expression in EBV-induced lymphoma cells is up-regulated than in normal lymphocytes. EBNA-1 may play an important role in the development of EBV-induced lymphoma.

Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the strategies on COVID-19 outbreak control in Shenzhen, and to clarify the feasibility of these strategies in metropolitans that have high population density and strong mobility.Methods:The epidemic feature of COVID-19 was described by different phases and was used to observe the effectiveness of intervention. Hierarchical spot map was drawn to clarify the distribution and transmission risk of infection sources at different time points. The Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Asymptomatic-Recovered model was established to estimate case numbers without intervention and compare with the actual number of cases to determine the effect of intervention. The positive rate of the nucleic acid test was used to reflect the risk of human exposure. A survey on COVID-19 related knowledge, attitude and behaviors were used to estimate the abilities of personal protection and emergency response.Results:The epidemic of COVID-19 in Shenzhen experienced the rising, plateau and decline stage. The case number increased rapidly at the beginning, with short duration of peak period. Although the epidemic curve showed human-to-human transmission, the "trailing" was not obvious. From the spot map, during the intervention period, the source of infection was widely distributed. More cases and higher transmission risk were observed in areas with higher population density. After the effective intervention measures, both infection sources and the risk of transmission decreased. After compared with the estimated case numbers without intervention, actual number proved the COVID-19 control strategies were effective. The positive rate of nucleic acid test for high risk populations decreased and no new cases reported since February 16. Shenzhen citizens had high knowledge, attitude and behavior level, and high protection ability and emergency response.Conclusions:Although the response initiated by the health administration department played a key role at the early stage of the epidemic, it was not enough to contain the outbreak of COVID-19. The first-level emergency response initiated by provincial and municipal government was effective and ensured the start of work resumption after the Spring Festival. Metropolitans like Shenzhen can also achieve the goals of strategies and measures for containment and mitigation of COVID-19.
