Background and purpose:Drug resistance is a major cause of failure in lung cancer chemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of YAP on doxorubicin resistance in lung cancer and its underlying mechanism. Methods:Doxorubicin resistant lung cancer cell clones were established from parental sensitive cancer PC9 cell line via in vitroinduction, and the expression of YAP was analyzed. YAP was down-regulated via shRNA to different levels. MTS assay was employed to determine cell proliferation and drug sensitivity. Flow cytometry was used to determine cell cycle distribution, apoptosis and uptake of Rh-123. Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) assay were used to determine the expression of ABCB1, ABCC1, p53, Runx2, ITGB2 and ErbB4. The phosphory-lation of serine/threonine kinase (AKT) was determined as well.Results:Doxorubicin resistant PC9/Adr cell clone was obtained with over-expressed YAP. Expression of YAP in PC9/Adr cells was down-regulated to different levels via shR-NA. After YAP silencing, cell proliferation was reduced, while sensitivity to doxorubicin was increased. The cell cycle was significantly halted by G0/G1 phase. Doxorubicin induced-apoptotic rate and cellular uptake of Rh-123 were increased,with positive correlation to YAP silencing level. Western blot and QRT-PCR results showed that after YAP silencing, ABCB1, ABCC1, Runx2, ITGB2, and ErbB4 proteins were down-regulated, while the expression of p53 was up-regulated. Phosphorylation of AKT was inhibited as well.Conclusion:Over-expression of YAP is involved in doxorubicin resistance in PC9/Adr cell line. Silencing of YAP could restore doxorubicin sensitivity. The mechanism involves regulation of drug resistance-related genes and promotion of apoptosis.

ObjectiveTo study the relationship of the parental rearing behaviors between the psychological status and post-traumatic stress disorder in the injured deliberately.Methods 161 injured people were treated in five hospitals of the Urumqi and evaluated the self-reporting questionnaire-20 (SRQ20),7-items screening scale for PTSD( PTSD7 ),impact of event scale (IES) and symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) in the third and the fourth week injured,including 113 injured people aged at 14 ～50 years old completed the Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran (EMBU).Two months after the injury,113 injured people were interviewed,including 106 injured people diagnosed by Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-Ⅳ-TR Axis Ⅰ Disorders/Patients (SCID-I/P) and 7 injured people were lost.ResultsFather's preferences correlated with the total score of IES ( r =- 0.234,P ＜ 0.05 ) and avoid factor( r=-0.309,P＜ 0.01 ) positively,Mother's emotional warmth and understand correlated with the flashback factor of IES ( r =0.194,P ＜ 0.05 ) negatively.The injured people were divided into three groups by diagnosis:the illness-free group,the PTSD group,and other group.Parental preferences correlated with Mental symptoms negatively.Father's punish severely,interference too much,refuse or deny and Mother's interference too much,over protection and punish severely correlated mental symptoms positively.The six subscales of father's rearing behaviors and the five subscales of mother's rearing behaviors had no significant difference.ConclusionsParental preferences in childhood can internalizes inside support to protect the psychological trauma in future.Father's punish severely,interference too much,refuse or deny and mother's interference too much,over protection and punish severely can damage mental health and aggravate symptoms after traumatic event.But the influence of parental rearing behaviors is limited to decide whether the injured people suffering from PTSD or other mental disorders.

Objective To investigate the effect of different delivery methods on the levator ani muscle of the pelvic floor by transperineal three-dimensional ultrasound and TUI imaging. Methods 200 cases of pregnant women from August2014 to August 2016 in our hospital were divided into selective cesarean section group (n = 85) and vaginal delivery group (n= 115). The vaginal group, according to the intraoperative lateral segmentation, was further divided into vaginal lateral incision group (n = 65) and vaginal delivery without lateral incision group (n = 50). At the same time, select 80 cases of nulliparous women (volunteers) as control group, relevant indicators by three-dimensional imaging and TUI imaging technique. Results The vaginal delivery without lateral incision group, lateral incision group vaginal delivery and cesarean section group levator hiatus diameter, anteroposterior diameter, perimeter and area were significantly higher than the control group(P＜0.05), and vaginal delivery side cut was significantly higher than the other three groups (P＜0.05), vaginal delivery in two sub-group and cesarean section group of levator ani muscle thickness were significantly lower than the control group(P＜0.05), vaginal delivery in two sub groups were significantly lower than that in the cesarean section group (P＜0. 05); vaginal delivery group of levator ani muscle injury rate was significantly higher than that in the cesarean section group (P＜0. 05); There was no significant difference in the rate of levator ani muscle injury in vaginal delivery group (P＞0.05). Conclusion Compared with cesarean section, vaginal delivery is more obvious in changing the morphology and integrity of levator ani muscle, and vaginal delivery is more obvious than that of vaginal incision.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a parasitic nematode that needs to develop in different hosts in different larval stages. Freshwater snails, such as Pomacea canaliculata, are the intermediate host, and rats are the definitive host. Periodic shedding of the cuticle (moulting) is an important biological process for the survival and development of the parasite in the intermediate and definitive hosts. However, there are few studies on the cuticle alterations between different stages of this parasite. In this study, we observed the ultrastructural appearance and changes of the cuticle of the 2nd/3rd stage larvae (L2/L3) and the 3rd/4th stage larvae (L3/L4) using a scanning electron microscope. We also first divided L2/L3 into late L2 and early L3. The late L2 lacked alae, but possessed a pull-chain-like fissure. Irregular alignment of spherical particles on the cuticle were noted compared to the L3. Alae appeared in the early L3. The old cuticle turned into a thin film-like structure which adhered to the new cuticle, and spherical particles were seen regularly arranged on the surface of this structure. Regular rectangular cavities were found on the surface of L3/L4. The caudal structure of L3/L4 was much larger than that of L3, but caudal inflation, such as seen in L4, was not observed. These results are the first to reveal the ultrastructural changes of the cuticle of A. cantonensis before and after moulting of L2/L3 and L3/L4.
