Objective:To establish a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of 5 microRNA (miRNA) target genes differentially expressed in the plasma of coal-burning fluoride exposed population, and to screen genes and gene modules with important roles.Methods:Five miRNA (hsa-miRNA-3131, hsa-miRNA-4516, hsa-miRNA-6501-5p, hsa-miRNA-10b-5p, hsa-miRNA-4683) target genes differentially expressed in the plasma of coal-burning fluoride exposed population screened by our previous study were mapped to the STRING online database (https://string-db.org), and the PPI network was screened. The Cytoscape v3.6.0 software was used to visualize the PPI network, the topological attribute values degree and betweenness centrality were obtained by the NetworkAnalyzer plug-in, and the central node was filtered in the network (the node with the highest degree and the highest betweenness centrality). At the same time, the maximal clique centrality (MCC) analysis method in the CytoHubba plug-in was used to determine the important nodes in the PPI network. The cluster analysis was conducted by the MCODE plug-in, and the gene modules were screened in the PPI network. The protein names contained in the gene modules were submitted online to the KOBAS v3.0 database (http://kobas.cbi.pku.edu.cn/), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was performed on the gene modules selected by the MCODE plug-in.Results:The PPI network of target genes was consisted of 1 035 nodes and 4 346 edges. The degree (101) and betweenness centrality (0.010 723 89) of ubiquitin A-52 residue ribosomal protein fusion product 1 (UBA52) were the highest, which was the central node of the PPI network. According to MCC analysis, UBA52 was an important node in the PPI network. The top 5 gene modules were selected from the PPI network, and the highly enriched gene pathways in the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of the 5 gene modules included ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, spliceosome, endocytosis, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and vesicular transport.Conclusion:The PPI network of 5 miRNA target genes differentially expressed in the plasma of people exposed to coal-burning pollution of fluoride is successfully established, and the UBA52 gene and the 5 main pathways of gene modules are selected.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes of genetic damage in patients with arsenism caused by coal-burning in 9 years. To analyze the relationship between the changes of genetic damage and disease progression and provide a basis for condition monitoring.
METHODSOf 206 arsenism patients from the area with endemic arsenism in Guizhou province were tracking surveyed in February 1998 and divided into 4 groups, including suspicious, mild, moderate and severe poisoning group. Another 67 healthy residents from a neighbour township 12 km away where arsenic was not prevalent were surveyed. Over a 9-year follow-up, 131 arsenism patients and 45 controls with the complete biochemical indexes among them were selected as subjects in December 2006. Arsenic (As) concentration of urine and hair were detected by silver diethyldithiocarbamate spectrophotometry (Ag-DDC). Micronucleis (MN) and chromosome aberrations (CA) were analyzed by conventional methods. DNA single-strand breaks of peripheral blood were measured by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), and the tail lengths of comet were used to measure DNA damage.
RESULTSAmong the control, suspicious, mild, moderate and severe arsenic poisoning group, the As contents of urine and hair were respectively (34.16 ± 10.25), (52.35 ± 22.41), (62.26 ± 31.13), (71.43 ± 49.92), (78.45 ± 50.64) µg/L and (1.37 ± 0.56), (3.69 ± 1.78), (4.88 ± 3.49), (5.21 ± 3.10), (6.25 ± 4.04) µg/g in 2006, which were lower than that 9 years before (urine as contents were (36.07 ± 20.70), (73.65 ± 41.33) , (90.92 ± 82.14) , (126.55 ± 107.31) and (139.44 ± 90.90) µg/L, and hair As contents were (1.41 ± 1.18), (4.85 ± 4.20), (5.72 ± 4.07) , (6.43 ± 4.32) and (7.19 ± 4.68) µg/g, respectively, F value was 10.63, 7.72, 14.66, 11.00 respectively, all P values were < 0.05). Except for suspicious poisoning group, the differences of urine As contents in the other groups all showed significance (P < 0.05). The incidences of MN were (0.238 ± 0.130) %, (0.268 ± 0.192) %, (0.283 ± 0.157) % and (0.391 ± 0.233)%; the incidences of CA were (14.36 ± 5.44) %, (18.09 ± 6.49) %, (19.38 ± 5.63)% and (19.83 ± 5.84) %; the tail lengths of comet were (29.88 ± 13.81) , (29.84 ± 12.80) , (34.50 ± 9.88) and (41.58 ± 12.98) µm respectively in 2006 for all poisoning groups; which were higher than that 9 years before(the incidences of MN were (0.163 ± 0.051) %, (0.186 ± 0.117) %, (0.196 ± 0.104) % and (0.273 ± 0.142) %; the incidences of CA were (13.18 ± 5.17)%, (14.48 ± 6.61)%, (15.67 ± 8.49) % and (16.90 ± 8.38) %; the tail lengths of comet were (15.07 ± 12.93) , (19.57 ± 8.80) , (27.03 ± 10.77) and (34.71 ± 14.95) µm) , except for the incidences of MN and CA in suspicious poisoning group and of MN in mild poisoning group , the differences of the three indexes in the other groups were significant (P < 0.05) . The state of illness of arsenic poisoning patients aggravated 9 years later. With the increase of urine and hair As contents and the development of arsenism, the incidences of MN, CA and the tail lengths of comet of all poisoning groups increased. There were positive correlations among them (r values were respectively 0.212, 0.316, 0.232, 0.263, 0.321, 0.654 and 0.760) (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe exacerbation of genetic damage was related to constantly high arsenic loads. The accumulation of genetic damage and its irreversibility might be one of the important reasons of the development of arsenism and cancer.

Objective:To clarify the risk factors for post-operative central nervous system infection (PCNSI) to provide references for prevention and treatment of PCNSI.Methods:A total of 397 patients with neurosurgery diseases, admitted to and accepted 403 surgeries in our hospital from February 1 st, 2015 to December 30 th, 2015, were chosen in our study; their clinical data were collected. The incidence of PCNSI was analyzed. Risk factors for PCNSI were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The ajusted specific infection rate of PCNSI was calculated in 12 chief surgeons who performed≥8 operations during the study period to assess the influence of surgeons in PCNSI incidence. Results:The PCNSI incidence in these 397 patients was 9.2% (37/403). The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture positive rate was 29.7% (11/37), including 6 (54.6%) with positive gram staining. Univariate analysis showed that as compared with the non-infected group (366 surgeries), patients in the PCSNI group (37 surgeries) had significantly higher National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) scale, significantly higher proportion of patients with preoperative stay>6 d, significantly longer operative duration, and statistically higher proportion of involvement of scrub nurses with experience in fewer than 8 procedures ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed operative duration ( OR=1.389, 95%CI: 1.202-1.606, P=0.000) and involvement of scrub nurses with experience in fewer than 8 procedures ( OR=2.860, 95%CI: 1.276-6.412, P=0.011) were independent risk factors for PCNSI. After adjustment by NNIS scale, the ajusted specific infection rate of PCNSI in 12 chief surgeons was 20.0%, 23.0%, 17.3%, 18.2%, 13.4%, 12.5%, 6.3%, 8.0%, 5.2%, 4.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0%, respectively, enjoying obvious differences. Conclusion:Specialized infection control training should give to surgeons with high adjusted specific infection rate of PCNSI; this training, shortening operative duration, and training of neurosurgery specialist nurses will be important measures to reduce PCNSI incidence.
