Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA(miRNA)-375 on gastric cancer cell function and the possible mechanism.Methods miRNA-375 eukaryotic expression vector was stably transfected into human gastric cancer cell line HGC-27.A miRNA-375 highly expressed gastric cancer cell line PC3,1-375 was screened and established.Blank plasmid transfection group (PC3.1 group) and blank control group were also established.The cell proliferation ability and apoptosis rate in three groups were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method and flow cytometry.The protein expression of astrocyte elevated gene 1 (AEG-1) in three groups was determined by Western blotting.The nude mouse subcutaneous xenografts model was also established.After 30 days,the nude mice were executed and the xenografts were dissociated and measured.The expression ofAEG-1 in the tumors at protein level was tested by immunohistochemistry method.The statistical inference includes t-test and analysis of variance.Results After stable transfection and cell screening,compared with that of blank control group,the expression of miRNA-375 in PC3.1-375 group significantly increased (t=2.82,2.01,bothP＜0.05).The cell proliferation of PC3.1-375 group was significantly lower than that of PC3.1 group and blank control group and the difference reached a maximum in day 3 (t3d=3.56,2.79,both P＜0.05).But with the apoptosis rate of PC3.1-375 group,the opposite was true (t=2.05,2.96,both P＜0.05).The results of Western blot shows that the expression of AEG-1 at protein level of PC3.1-375 group decreased compared with that of blank control group and PC3.1 group.The xenografts growth rate,average weight and tumor volume of PC3.1-375 group were significantly lower than those of blank control group and PC3.1 group (t=3.78,2.26,both P＜0.05).By the end of experiment,the volume of nude mouse subcutaneous xenografts in blank control group ((3.12 ± 0.77) cm3) and PC3.1 group ((3.76 ± 0.65) cm3) was significant bigger than that inPC3.1-375 group (0.72±0.21) cm3,t=5.67,6.92,both P＜0.05).The average weight of xenografts in PC3.1-375 group ((0.85 ± 0.15)g) was obviously lower than that in PC3.1 group ((4.01±0.52) g) and blank control group ((3.86±0.56) g,t=4.56,5.01,both P＜0.05).The results of immunohistochemistry indicated that the expression of AEG-1 protein in xenografts in PC3.1-375 group was remarkably decreased compared with that in blank control group and PC3.1 group (F=35.000,P＜0.05).Conclusions miRNA-375 can effectively inhibit the cell proliferation of gastric cancer,promote cells apoptosis and it's a tumor suppression factor in gastric cancer.AEG-1 may be a target gene of miRNA-375.

Objective:To study whether the socio-ecological model based on “student-school-family”three-level strategy is effective in obesity prevention. Methods: A total of 3 175 students aged 7 to 18 from 16 schools (4 urban primary schools, 4 rural primary schools, 4 urban secondary schools and 4 rural secondary schools, of which 2 intervention schools were selected, respectively ) were recruited by strati-fied cluster sampling method. A three-month intervention using “student-school-family” socio-ecological model was conducted through health education and environment improvement. The intervention contents included knowledge on obesity, healthy diet and physical activities. Their anthropometric indexes were recorded. Results:The intervention prevented obesity(OR =1. 12, P <0. 05), and was effective in waist circumference (WC) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) (adjusted difference=0. 63, 0. 02, P<0. 05). WC and WHR were reduced in girls ( adjusted difference=0 . 52 &0 . 02 , P<0 . 05 ) , and obesity was prevented in girls ( OR=1 . 18 , P<0 . 05 ) . WC and WHR were reduced in boys ( adjusted difference=0 . 73 , 0 . 01 , P<0 . 05 ) . WHR were reduced in urban areas ( adjusted difference=0 . 01 , P<0 . 05 ) . WC and WHR were reduced ( adjusted difference=1 . 05 , 0 . 02 , P<0 . 05 ) and obesity was prevented (OR=1. 18, P<0. 05) in rural areas. WHR were reduced (adjusted difference=0. 01, P<0. 05) and obesity was prevented (OR =1. 21, P <0. 05) in primary schools. WHR were reduced in secondary schools (adjusted difference=0. 02, P<0. 05). The intervention effect was better in girls than in boys, in rural areas than in urban areas, and in primary schools than in secondary schools. The overweight and obesity prevalence went down after the intervention (χ2 =11 . 01 , P <0 . 01 ) . Conclusion:Intervention strategy is effective in central obesity indexes such as WC and WHR, and it can be used widely.

Objective To investigate the clinical typing and staging in diagnosis of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Methods Retrospective study was designed to analysis the principal clinical characteristic of SARS and the standard of clinical typing and staging was raised. Comparisons with X-ray in lung, change of lymphocyte subset, PaO_2, SaO_2,and prognosis of disease were performed.

Pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) combined with ribavirin (PR regimen) has been used in China for more than 10 years.With the development of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs),the therapeutic regimens for hepatitis C has become more and more diverse.In the regimen of DAAs combined with PR regimen,IFN helps to benefit the long-term prognosis of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC),and the addition of DAAs may improve therapeutic effect,shorten the course of treatment,and further improve the current status of treatment of CHC.This article introduces the advantages and disadvantages of PR regimen,DAAs combined with PR regimen,and oral regimen with DAAs,in order to investigate the therapeutic regimens suitable for different CHC patients and provide a reference for clinical practice.

von Willebrand factor (vWF) and factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) exist in a complex form in blood.After being activated,they mediated platelet adhesion and aggregation,and play an important role in the course of thrombosis.The levels in blood of both of them were affected by a variety of factors.vWF and FⅧ are closely associated with the risk,etiological type,severity and outcome of acute ischemic stroke.Studies on the corresponding antagonistic drugs have made a breakthrough,and these drugs may become more advantageous antithrombotic s.

Objective:To explore the intervention effects of high and low audio-motor stimulation mode on attention and memory of elderly with mild cognitive impairment in rural areas.Methods:From September 2019 to May 2020, 80 subjects with mild cognitive impairment meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to the drawing lots, with 40 participants in each group.The experimental group was given high and low audio-motor stimulation mode training, and the control group was given finger exercises training.Before and after the intervention, sustained and selective attention were assessed using number cancellation test(NCT), E-Prime paradigm based on Stroop effect design, and memory was assessed using the Rivermead behavioral memory test, version 2 (RBMT-Ⅱ). SPSS 17.0 software was used to perform data statistics. The independent sample t test, paired sample t test and Mann Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After intervention, the sustained attention index of the experimental group (0.86±0.48) was significantly higher than that of the control group (0.63±0.47, t=4.336, P<0.05). After intervention, the unanimous response time of the experimental group ((2 263.38±437.87) ms) and the reverse reaction time ((2 335.75±599.86) ms) were significantly lower than those of the control group ((2 703.95±506.34) ms, (2 667.43±585.38) ms) ( t=-4.068, -2.447, P<0.05). The consistent correct rate ((0.84±0.14)) and the reverse correct rate ((0.87±0.10))were significantly higher than those of the control group ((0.71±0.19), (0.73±0.15)) ( t= 3.571, 4.931, both P<0.05). RBMT-Ⅱ dimensions and total standard scores of the experimental group (19.00 (18.00, 20.00)) were higher than those of the control group (11.00 (10.00, 12.00))( Z=7.299, P<0.05). Conclusion:High and low audio-motor stimulation improves attention and memory in rural elderly with mild cognitive impairment.

Recently, there are many prominent problems about the quality ofIndigo Naturalis. To explore the underlying reasons, both ancient and modern herbal literatures were reviewed. Through the organization of recordings onIndigo Naturalis, the traditional process method required soaking and fermentation, stiring and depositing, foaming and shade drying. The currently usedIndigo Naturalis was mostly isolated and purified from crude deposit -“Cu-Dian.” The modern process technique ofIndigo Naturalis was gradually deviated from the traditional processing method. This paper also discussed the quality standards ofIndigo Naturalis. The author considered that the current standard on descriptions ofIndigo Naturalis characteristics was deviated from the traditional morphological features ofIndigo Naturalis, which should be further researched and verified. Therefore, this study provided certain references for the quality control and market supervision ofIndigo Naturalis.

Objective To investigate differences in Rab protein expressions in McCoy cells with acute versus persistent Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection.Methods Cultured McCoy cells were infected with different amounts (400,500,550 μl/well) of Ct strain D suspensions,then cultured with the medium containing 100 U/ml penicillin G (persistent Ct infection groups) or that without penicillin G (acute Ct infection groups).Ct-uninfected McCoy cells receiving no penicillin G treatment served as the blank control group,and those receiving penicillin G treatment as the penicillin group.Mter 48-hour culture,McCoy cells were lysed,proteins were collected,and total RNA was extracted from the cells.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to measure protein levels of Rab4A,Rab6A,Rab10,Rab11A and Rab14,and fluorescence-based quantitative PCR to quantify mRNA expressions of Rab4A and Rab14 (expressed as 2-ΔΔα).Results Protein levels of Rab4A,Rab6A,Rab10,Rab11A and Rab14 were all significantly lower in the acute than in the persistent Ct infection groups (all Z =3.621,P ＜ 0.001),and lower in the persistent and acute Ct infection groups than in the blank control group (all P ＜ 0.008 3),but insignificantly different between the blank control group and penicillin group (all P ＞ 0.05).In addition,the expressions of Rab4A and Rab14 mRNAs were consistent with those of their proteins in these groups.Conclusion The transcriptional and expression levels of Rab proteins are higher in McCoy cells persistently infected with Ct than in those acutely infected with Ct.

Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of FVIII(factor VIII,FVIII)and VWF (von Willebrand factor,VWF)elevation on the severity, prognosis and inpatient complications such as infections and neuroworsening in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods Ninety patients with acute ischemic stroke and 50 pa?tients without ischemic stroke were recruited from affiliated Shengjing hospital of China Medical University between De?cember 2014 and March 2015 . We tested FVIII and VWF levels of all the patients. Patients with acute ischemic stroke were divided into 4 groups:both FVIII and VWF within normal range(FVIII-/VWF-);elevated FVIII, but normal VWF (FVIII↑/VWF-); FVIII within normal range, but elevated VWF(FVIII-/VWF↑); and elevation of both FVIII and VWF(FVIII↑/VWF↑). Results The median of VWF was higher in the case group (1521.88 U/L) than in the control group (1281.77U/L)(P=0.023). Compared with patients with both FVIII and VWF within normal range, patients with ele? vation of both FVIII and VWF had more severe neurological dysfunction(NIHSS at admission>5)(OR=3.643,95%CI:1.258~10.549,P=0.017)and poorer prognosis(mRS>2 at the point of 3 months after stroke)(OR=7,95%CI:2.304~21.266,P=0.001), higher proportion of mRS>2 at discharge(OR=3.797,95%CI:1.346~10.713,P=0.012),and more in?patient complications such as infections(OR=3.913,95%CI:1.115~13.729,P=0.033)and neuroworsening(OR=5.538, 95%CI:1.099~27.908,P=0.038). After additional adjustment for various confounding factors, elevation of both FVIII and VWF was an independent predictor of poor prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke(OR=4.495,95%CI 1.012~19.957,P=0.048). Conclusions The elevation of FVIII and VWF is positively associated with the severity and prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke, which may serve as an independent predictor of poor prognosis.
