Objective To analyze the expression profile of specific miRNA of gastric cancer tissues.Methods miRNA were isolated from five paired gastric cancer tissues and corresponding paracancerous normal tissues.To identify the profile of gastric cancer,miRNA hybridization and cluster analysis were processed by significance analysis of microarrays (SAM,version 2.1) and cluster software.The relative expression of hsa-miR-30c,hsa-miR-196a and hsa-miR-193b were validated by fluorescence Real-Time PCR using taqman probe.Further hsa-miR-30c taget gene was predictived by online software.Results Revealed by miRNA microarray detection,there were 16 miRNA with differential expression in gastric cancer tissues and para-cancerous normal tissues,among which HS_100,hsa-miR-27a,hsa-miR-214*,solexa-555-1991 and hsa-miR-196 were significantly up-regulated,and hsa-miR-502-3p,hsa-miR-29c*,hsa-miR-64,hsa-miR-193b,hsa-miR-551b,hsa-miR-30c,hsa-miR-582-5p,hsa-miR-625*,hsa-miR-660,hsa-miR-363 and hsa-miR-486-5p were down-regulation.The relative expression of hsa-miR-30c,hsa-miR-196a and hsa-miR-193b was in high concordance with microarray.Conclusion There is specific miRNA expression profile in gastric cancer tissues,among which differentially-expressed miRNAs may be involved in the regulation of gastric cancer progress and serve as new potential biomarkers.

AIM:To investigate whether the cigarette smoke extract (CSE) causes senescence of C2C12 myo-blasts and the relationship between senescence and histone deacetylase 2(HDAC2).METHODS: Murine C2C12 cells were induced to differentiate into myoblasts.The HDAC2 activator and inhibitor were used to investigate the effects of CSE in the myoblasts on cell senescence and the expression of HDAC2.The expression of HDAC2 at mRNA and protein levels was determined by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively, and the positive cell rate of β-galactosidase staining for cell senescence was also detected.RESULTS:The optimal concentration of CSE was 60 mL/L and the intervention time was 24 h.After the intervention of CSE, the positive cell rate ofβ-galactosidase staining was increased, accompanied with the reduction of HDAC2 expression at mRNA and protein levels.The expression of HDAC2 at mRNA and protein levels was increased by 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB), accompanied with the reduction of positive cell rate ofβ-galacto-sidase staining.Furthermore, when HDAC2 expression at mRNA and protein levels was reduced by HDAC2 inhibitor valp-roic acid, the positive cell rate of β-galactosidase staining was increased.CONCLUSION: CSE promotes the senescence by reducing the expression of HDAC2 in C2C12 myoblasts.

Objective To compare the effect of silica-extraction method and Silico membrane based method in DNA purification from bones and teeth.Methods DNA samples were purified respectively with the silica-extraction method and MinElute PCR Purification kit from 6 bones and 8 teeth,then tested STR types by GlobalFiler? kits. And evaluated the two methods with the success rate and the peak height. Results Both of the two purification methods can successfully obtain the STR markers of the 14 samples. And there was no statistical difference between the two methods in the average peak height from bones and teeth. Conclusion The Silico membrane based method which have more advantages in operation is an efficient method to purify DNA from bones and teeth, and there is no significant difference compared with the silica-extraction method. But the cost is higher. It can be selectively used in forensic practice.

Objective To explore the protective effect of miconazole on white matter damage (WMD) in neonatal rats. Methods Three-day-old neonatal SD rats were randomly divided into sham group, WMD model group, 10 mg/(kg·d) miconazole group and 40 mg/(kg·d) miconazole group with 15 rats each. Rats in WMD model group were subjected to the ligation of right carotid artery, and then kept in a chamber with 6% oxygen and 94% nitrogen for 80 min to establish the white matter damage model. The rats in miconazole group were intraperitoneally injected with different doses (10 and 40mg/kg) of miconazole, dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), for five consecutive days, and rats in WMD model group were injected with the same volume of DMSO. Myelin basic protein (MBP) of white matter was detected by immunofluorescence staining and western blot. Myelin sheaths of corpus callosum were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Weight changes of rats were compared among groups. Results Immunofluorescence staining and western blot showed that, after treatment with miconazole, the MBP expression level of corpus callosum was higher than in WMD model group (P<0.05). In WMD model group, the myelin sheath of corpus callosum had loose structure and a large number of small vacuoles with decreased thickness of myelin sheath. After treatment with miconazole, myelinolysis induced by anoxia and ischemia could be improved significantly. The increase in weight of rats in WMD model group was significantly less than that in sham group. And after miconazole treatment, the rate of weight gain of rats was increased. Conclusion Miconazole can significantly reduce the brain white matter damage induced by anoxia and ischemia through promoting myelination, and then improves the growth and development in rats.

Objective To investigate the role of autophagy in radiation-induced death response of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.Methods MTT method was used to detect cell viability of CNE-2 cells in different time after irradiation.Clonogenic survival assay was used to evaluate the effect of autophagy inhibitor (chloroquine phosphate) and autophagy inductor (rapamycin) on radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.Cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry.The expressions of LC3 and P62 were measured with Western blot.Cell ultrastructural analysis was performed under an electron microscope.Results Irradiation with 10 Gy induced a massive accumulation of autophagosomes accompanied with up-regulation of LC3-Ⅱ expression in CNE-2 cells.Compared with radiation alone,chloroquine phosphate (CDP) enhanced radiosensitivity significantly by decreasing cell viability (F =25.88,P ＜ 0.05),autophagic ratio (F =105.15,P ＜ 0.05),and LC3-Ⅱ protein level(F =231.68,P ＜0.05),while up-regulating the expression of P62 (F =117.52,P ＜ 0.05).Inhibition of autophagy increased radiation-induced apoptosis (F =143.72,P ＜ 0.05).Rapamycin (RAPA) also significantly decreased cell viability,but increased autophagic ratio and LC3-Ⅱ protein level while down-regulated the expression of P62.Induction of autophagy increased radiation-induced apoptosis(F =167.32,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Blockage of autophagy with CDP could enhance radiosensitivity in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells,suggesting that inhibition of autophagy could be used as an adjuvant treatment to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the effects on pregnancy outcome of freezing time from oocyte retrieval and thawing method for metaphase Ⅱ human oocytes vitrification. Methods From Mar 2007 to Mar 2009, the clinical outcome of 30 infertile women undergoing vitrified-thawing oocytes of in vitro fertilizationembryo transfer(IVF-ET) in the Reproductive Medical Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University was studied retrospectively, including 21 women with double fallopian tube obstruction and 9 women's husband azoospermia. All infertile women were divided into three groups, including 5 cases in group A (freezing between 4 and 5 hours from oocyte retrieval and conventional thawing method), 9 cases in group B (freezing within 2 hours from retrieval and conventional thawing method) and 16 cases in group C (freezing within 2 hours from retrieval and improved thawing method). The vitrified oocytes were preserved for 2 months to I year and thawed for Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and embryo transfer. The outcome of IVF and pregnancy were recorded. Results (1) The rates of oocyte survival was (65±33) % in group B and (72±23)% in group C and the rate of transfer cycle was 9/9 in group B and 16/16 in group C, which were all significantly higher than (16±17) % of oocyte survival and 1/5 of transfer cycle in group A (P = 0. 001,0. 021). However, the rate of oocyte survival and transfer cycle between group B and group C did not reach statistical difference (P > 0. 05). The rate of implantation and clinical pregnancy of (33±38) % and 9/16 in group C were significantly higher (4±11)% and 1/9 in group B (P =0. 033,0. 040).(2)The mean age of women in group C were (28.6±2.1) in oneself oocyte, (28.0±4.6) in donor oocyte and (28.1±3.4) in donor sperm. The rate of oocyte survival was (73±25) %, (88±10) % and (66±25) %. The rate of fertilization rate was (84. 6±0. 9) %, (79. 3±2. 0) % and (82. 8±15.0) %. The rate of implantation was (20. 0±44. 7) %, (33. 0±0. 1) % , (41.6±41.7) %. The rate of clinical pregnancy was 1/5 in oneself cycles,3/3 in donor oocyte cycles, 5/8 banked donor sperm cycles in group C. All above clinical parameters were not statistically different (P >0. 05). (3) In group A, one women underwent IVFET and no clinical pregnancy was observed. One women pregnancy was terminated at two months in group B.The clinical pregnancies rate of group C was 9/16, late abortion occurred in 1 woman, the other 8 women underwent term pregnancy, including 5 male infants and 4 female infants. All of infants showed normal Karyotype. Live-birth rates per warmed oocyte was 5.9% (8/135). The mean gestational weeks and birth weight of the infants were (39. 4±0. 9) weeks and (3574±569) g, respectively. Conclusions Embryo quality and clinical outcome of thawing cycles could be significantly improved when oocyte vitrification was performed within 2 hours from oocyte retrieval and improved thawing method.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate mutations of 41 STR loci. Methods 4546 bloodstain samples were typed from 1932 father–mother–child trios by using AGCU_21+1, AGCU_EX22 and GlobalFiler_ExpressTM amplification Kit. Calculate the mutation rates of STR loci. Results 154 mutations were identified at 32 of the 41 loci. The average mutation rate was 1.0×10-3per locus(95%CI: 0.8~1.1×10-3), and the mutations of SE33 was highest. 152(98.7%) mutation events were one-step mutation, 2(1.3%) events were two-steps. The mutation events occurred in 150 father–mother–child triplets. The mutations in 146(97.3%) triplets occurred at single locus, 8 mutations were observed at two loci in 4(2.7%) triplets simultaneously. 104 paternal and 22 maternal mutations could be determined under 79212 paternal and maternal allelictransfers. The ratio of paternal versus maternal mutations was 4.7:1, and 28 unassigned mutations were observed. Conclusion STR mutation are common in paternity testing, and we should pay more attention to it.

Objective To view and compare the clinical characteristics of renal tubular acidosis in adults and children.Methods Clinical data of patients with renal tubular acidosis diagnosed by Shandong Provincial Hospital affiliated to Shandong University from Jan 1991 to Sep 2017 were reviewed.The difference and consistency in clinical characteristics of renal tubular acidosis between adults and children were analyzed.Results Data from 206 adults and 60 children were analyzed.89.81％ cases in adults were secondary to other diseases,mainly primary Sjogren's syndrome.Most children patients (81.67％) were idiopathic,others largely originated from inherited metabolic diseases.The most common subtype of both was distal renal tubular acidosis.Proximal renal tubular acidosis was easier to be found in idiopathic renal tubular diseases of children.Chief complaints or starting symptoms were mainly composed of polydipsia with polyuria (41.4％) and fatigue (35.3％).Children were typical of growth retardation,rickets and digestive symptoms.The rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis was 41.4 percent.Routine therapy consisted of healing metabolic acidosis and electrolyte disorders,treating underlying diseases and preventing complications.The majority of patients (95.5％) improved after treatments.Conclusions Renal tubular acidosis possesses various underlying diseases,diverse clinical manifestation and high rate of misdiagnosis.Given the high incident of secondary types,investigation of underlying disease,especially autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome,is of great importance in adults.Most children patients suffer from primary renal tubular acidosis.Attention should be paid to them in order to reduce the rate of misdiagnosis and teratogenicity.

Objective:To investigate the current status of activation in patients with spinal cord injury and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 127 patients from Department of Spinal Surgery in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from October 2020 to August 2021 were selected as the research objects. The patients were investigated by General Data Questionnaire, Patient Activation Measure (PAM) , General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) , Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) , Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) . Multiple linear hierarchical regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors of activation in patients with spinal cord injury.Results:A total of 127 questionnaires were sent out, and 122 were effectively received, with the effective recovery of 96.1%. The score of activation in patients with spinal cord injury was (54.71±7.23) . Regression analysis showed that injury site, mental resilience and social support were the main influencing factors of activation ( P<0.05) , and the global regression model explained 50.0% of the variation in activation in patients with spinal cord injury. Conclusions:Patients with spinal cord injury generally have moderate levels of activation during hospitalization. The activation of patients with spinal cord injury is a positive psychosocial resource, and rehabilitation nurses should pay more attention to it, and improve the mental resilience and social support of patients, so as to further enhance the activation of patients.
