1.The advancement of microRNA regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cholangiocarcinoma
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2017;30(6):665-668
Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor which originates from bile duct epithelial cells, and its invasion and metastasis is an important factor affecting the prognosis of patients and the main causes of the high mortality.Epithelial-mesenchymal transition is a reversible biological process of transition from epithelial phenotype to stromal cell phenotype, which is closely related to tumor invasion and metastasis.The microRNA is an endogenous non-coding RNA with a sequence of 20~25 nucleotides, which participates in the occurrence and development of tumor, especially in the progress of tumor invasion and metastasis by complementary base pairing with the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the target gene at the post-transcriptional level.Herein, we present the mechanism of microRNA regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition and its effect on the invasion and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the frequency of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) in limbic encephalitis (LE) syndrome and compare its clinical features with viral encephalitis.Methods Patients diagnosed with LE syndrome who admitted to Huashan Hospital between December 2015 and June 2016 were enrolled and screened for autoantibodies associated with AE (anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, anti-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor, anti-gamma-amino-butyric acid B-receptor, anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 and anti-contactin-associated protein-like 2 antibodies) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum. Their clinical features and auxiliary examinations were also collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results Fifty-four patients were diagnosed with LE syndrome, including 35 males and 19 females. The age of these patients was (38.98±17.29) (15-75) years. Twenty patients (37.0%) were identified as AE, 17 patients (31.5%) as viral encephalitis. Other cases included three (5.5%) with neurosyphilis, one (1.9%) with glioma and 13 (24.1%) of unknown cause. Young patients(15-29 years old)and patients older than 45 years accounted for 46.0% (17/37) and 37.8% (14/37) of all AE and viral encephalitis cases respectively. Patients with AE had longer disease progression time than patients with viral encephalitis ((22.45±11.62) d vs (6.24±2.95) d, t=6.015, P<0.01).Emergency hospitalization of patients with AE was less frequent than that of patients with viral encephalitis (3/20 vs 12/17, P=0.001). Patients with AE were less common to present with fever at disease onset than patients with viral encephalitis (8/20 vs 15/17, P=0.006). Seizures as the first neurological symptom were less common in AE than in viral encephalitis (2/20 vs 8/17, P=0.023). White blood cell counts in CSF were less frequently elevated in AE than in viral encephalitis (7/17 vs 12/15, P=0.036). The differences of age, gender, disease severity as well as abnormal rates of brain MRI, electroencephalogram and CSF protein were not statistically significant between the two groups. Tumors were discovered in 6 (6/19) patients with AE. Conclusions The frequency of AE in LE syndrome is not low. It is worthwhile to screen for autoantibodies associated with AE in patients diagnosed with LE syndrome. AE and viral encephalitis have their own characteristics, which could offer help in differential diagnosis between them and application of effective treatment.
