BACKGROUND:Currently, a large number of studies have confirmed that macrophage migration inhibitory factor plays an important role in a variety of biological activities, such as tumor development. In recent years, it also plays an important role in the inflammatory process, and has achieved a lot of results. However, it is unclear whether and how the macrophage migration inhibitory factor plays a role around the oral implant under oral environment.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of macrophage migration inhibitory factor on the inflammation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels growing around the titanium implant.
METHODS:First, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were seeded onto titanium cel culture disks to simulate the peri-implant environment in the mouth, and then, the cels were divided into four groups: control group, without any stimulation; lipopolysaccharide group, lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels; non-specific smal interfering RNA (siRNA)+lipopolysaccharide group, non-specific siRNA-transfected and lipopolysaccharide-induced cels; macrophage migration inhibitory factor siRNA+lipopolysaccharide group, cels under the stimulation of lipopolysaccharide were transfected with macrophage migration inhibitory factor.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Using flow cytometry, the cels expressing over 95% CD29 and CD90 as wel as less than 5% CD 45 were selected in the experiment. Cel counting kit-8 test showed that macrophage migration inhibitory factor siRNA+lipopolysaccharide had no influence on the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Lipopolysaccharide significantly stimulated the inflammatory reactions of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, which was 15-20 times of the control group (P < 0.01). However, compared with the lipopolysaccharide group, the levels of interleukin-1β, interluekin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α were increased significantly after transfection with macrophage migration inhibitory factor siRNA+lipopolysaccharide stimulation (P < 0.01). These findings indicate that lipopolysaccharide can promote inflammation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels around the oral implant, but macrophage migration inhibitory factor siRNA can, to some extent, inhibit the occurrence of inflammation.

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays an important role in the development of leukemia.COX-2 inhibitor plays a certain anti-leukemia role in the process.Many studies show that COX-2 inhibitor plays antileukemia role by inhibiting the proliferation of leukemia cell,promoting apoptosis,affecting cell cycle,inhibiting cell metastasis and reversing cell drug resistance and so on.Therefore,the researches about the anti-leukemia mechanisms of COX-2 inhibitor will provide a new target in clinical prevention and treatment of leukemia.

Objective To assess the benefit of intraoperatively placed nasointestinal feeding tubes for early postoperative enteral nutrition.Methods The retrospective study was carried out on 19 cases of in-fants with long gap esophageal atresia who underwent one-stage operation in Xinhua Hospital from January 2006 to December 2013.Patients were divided into two groups according to whether the transanastomotic na-sointestinal feeding tubes(TNFT)were placed.Demographics,associated anomalies,operative findings,com-plications,duration of enteral nutrition(EN),length of stay were analyzed.Results Thirty-seven patients had long gap esophageal atresia and nineteen underwent one-stage operation.Eight patients were identified as TNFT group while eleven patients were identified as nonfeeding tube(NFT)group.There was no significant differences between the two groups in gestational age,birth weight,associated anomalies,anastomotic leak, weight gain,ICU-free days and length of stay(P>0.05).But the ventilator-free days(23.5 d vs.19.3 d), first EN time(0.8 d vs.9.1 d)and total EN feeding time(15.9 d vs.21.4 d)between the two groups were significantly different(P<0.05 ).Conclusion Intraoperatively placed TNFT may lead to earlier EN feeding and shorter parenteral nutrition duration,but a larger prospective study would be required to prove the benefits and ensure the safety.

Objective To determine the relevant factors of under staging and under grading in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and to define important predictors of under staging in this population. Methods The clinical T stages and biopsy Gleason scores were compared with the pathological T stages and prostatectomy Gleason scores in 55 patients. Results Among the 55 cases,50 were preoperatively classified as clinical stages T 1～T 2,of whom 21(42%) were postoperatively classified as pathological stages T 3～T 4.Of the 26 cases who preoperatively had the Gleason scores of 2 to 6,11(42%) had postoperatively pathological grades of 7 to 10.Logistic regression analysis revealed that PSA( P =0.0159)at diagnosis and the percentage of positive biopsies of prostate ≥50%( P =0.0013) were significant predictors for preoperative clinical staging lower than postoperative pathological staging. Conclusions The results demonstrate that patients who were classified as clinical stages T 1～T 2 with PSA≥20 ng/ml and percentage of positive biopsies≥50% may have high possibility of under staging.

Objective:To explore the relationship between human papilloma virus (HPV)-DNA and cytomegalovirus (CMV)-DNA virus content and the risk factors of endometrial cancer (EC) and their prediction models.Methods:Fifty-eight patients with EC from January 2017 to June 2020 in Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University were selected as the observation group, and 58 patients with endometrial hyperplasia (EH) during the same period were selected as the control group according to the 1∶1 matching case control principle. The clinical data, HPV-DNA, CMV-DNA positive rate and virus content of the two groups were compared, and the independent variables with P<0.05 were included in the Logistic regression model through single factor analysis. The risk factors of EC were analyzed, and the correlation between HPV-DNA, CMV-DNA and EC risk factors were evaluated. Logistic regression model was evaluated using the likelihood ratio chi-square and goodness-of-fit test, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of the model to EC. Results:The proportion of patients with age ≥ 55 years old, body mass index (BMI)≥ 24 kg/m 2, a history of hypertension and diabetes, malignant tumor family history and hormone replacement therapy history in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: 72.41%(42/58) vs. 39.66%(23/58),70.69% (41/58) vs. 43.10%(25/58), 36.21%(21/58) vs. 10.34%(6/58), 31.03%(18/58) vs. 8.62%(5/58),29.31%(17/58) vs. 5.17%(3/58), 27.93%(17/58) vs. 8.62%(5/58), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The positive rates of HPV and CMV, the contents of HPV-DNA and CMV-DNA in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: 62.07%(36/58) vs. 29.31%(17/58),81.03%(47/58) vs. 41.38%(24/58), (471.16 ± 33.58) copies/ml vs. (240.08 ± 17.41) copies/ml, (256.19 ± 24.77) copies/ml vs. (132.27 ± 13.20) copies/ml, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Age ≥ 55 years, BMI ≥ 24 kg/m 2, history of hypertension and diabetes, family history of malignant tumors, history of hormone replacement therapy, HPV positive, CMV positive were risk factors for EC ( P<0.05). HPV-DNA virus content was positively correlated with the age of EC patients, family history of malignant tumors, and history of diabetes ( P<0.05), the viral content of CMV-DNA was positively correlated with age, family history of malignant tumors, and history of hypertension ( P<0.05). According to the ROC curve drawn by the predicted value and the true value of the Logistic regression model, the area under the curve was 0.930 (95% CI 0.885 - 0.976), when the predictive probability of individual nosocomial infection>0.528, the prediction sensitivity was 84.48%, and the specificity was 89.66%. Conclusions:The occurrence of EC is related to many factors, and the content of HPV-DNA and CMV-DNA viruses are the risk factors of its occurrence. The overall predictive value of a Logistic regression model constructed based on EC pathological characteristics and the virus content of HPV-DNA and CMV-DNA is high, and it has clinical application prospects.
