The in vitro release of self-made and original preparations were similar in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer containing 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate,pH 4.5 acetic acid sodi-um acetate buffer and water. CONCLUSIONS:Lamotrigine sustained-release tablets are successfully imitated,and the technology is more simple and feasible than original preparation.

Objective To investigate the role of LncRNA ROR in Ad36-induced browning of human adipose-derived stem cells(hADSC). Methods After hADSC was induced by cocktail and Ad36 for 2,4,6,and 8 days,Oil red O staining was performed for observing the adipogenic status. The mRNA expressions of LncRNA ROR, uncoupling protein 1(UCP1),and PRDM16 were detected by real-time PCR and the protein expressions of UCP1 and PRDM16 were detected by Western-blot. After LncRNA ROR was knocked down by siRNA, UCP1 and PRDM16 mRNA and protein expression levels in the process of Ad36-induced adipocyte differentiation were detected by real-time PCR and Western-blot. Results Oil red O staining showed that fat droplets in the cocktail-induced group were larger than those in the Ad36-induced group. Compared with the cocktail group,the mRNA expressions of LncRNA ROR, UCP1 and PRDM16, and the protein expressions of UCP1 and PRDM16 in Ad36 group were significantly increased(P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expressions of UCP1 and PRDM16 in LncRNA ROR knockdown group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05). Conclusion In the process of Ad36-induced hADSC differentiation,the up-regulation of LncRNA ROR may stimulate UCP1 and PRDM16 expression,and thus promote the browning of hADSC.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients in Tibet.Methods:A total of 239 patients with DR who received treatment in Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Hospital of Chengdu Office of People's Government of Tibet Autonomous Region from December 2017 to December 2018 were included in this study. They were divided into Han nationality and Zang nationality groups according to ethnicity. The condition of DR was evaluated with nonmydriatic ocular fundus photography according to the staging criteria of the severity of retinopathy.Results:The prevalence of DR in Tibet was 18.0％. The prevalence of DR in Tibetan and Han patients with diabetes was 17.5% and 19.2%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of DR between Tibetan and Han patients with diabetes ( χ2 = 0.10, P = 0.754). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk factors of developing DR in Tibet included diabetes duration ( OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.05-1.24, P < 0.05), insulin therapy ( OR = 2.74, 95% CI: 1.09-6.89, P < 0.05), fasting plasma glucose ( OR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.07-1.75, P < 0.05) and hypertension ( OR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.02-3.86, P < 0.05). Diabetes duration and fasting plasma glucose are independent risk factors of DR. However, although elevated glycated hemoglobin levels were high in Tibet, they could not be used to predict the risk for developing DR ( OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.82-1.25, P > 0.05). Conclusion:Hyperglycemia is an important risk factor of developing DR in Tibet. However, elevated glycated hemoglobin levels cannot be used to predict the risk of developing DR in Tibet. Findings from this study fill the gap in the research on DR prevalence and ethic difference of DR prevalence, providing scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of DR in high-altitude areas.

Objective: To analyze the biological effects of miRNA-155 in the cardiac myocyte apoptosis. Methods: The mouse-derived macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was treated by different concentration or different stage of oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and transfected by miR-155 mimic (M group), miR-155 mimics-NC (M-NC group), miR-155 inhibitor (I group) or miR-155 inhibitor-NC (I-NC group), respectively. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, cell apopotosis was measured by TUNEL and flow cytometry. Results: The ox-LDL induced cell viability of Raw264.7 cells decreased and the expression of miR-155 increased in dose and time dependent manner, after treatment with different concentration of ox-LDL (10, 20, 40, 80, 160 mg/L) or 80 mg/L of ox-LDL with different stage (6, 12, 24, 48, 72 h). The expression of miR-155 increased significantly. Raw264.7 cell viability decreased significantly, compared to that of the blank control. The difference between two groups had statistical significance (P<0.05). The cell viability in M group was significantly higher than that in M-NC group, in I group was significantly higher than that in I-NC group, and the difference between two groups was statistical significance (P<0.05). Compared to that in the M-NC group, the cell apoptosis rate in M group was significantly increased (P<0.05), compared to that in the I-NC group, the cell apoptosis rate in I group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions miR-155 can enhance the Raw264.7 cell apoptosis induced by ox-LDL.

Objective To investigate the expressions of RNA-binding protein human antigen R(HuR), fatty acid binding protein type 4(FABP4),fatty acid synthetase(FASN),and lipoprotein lipase(LPL)during the differentiation of human adipocytes, and to explore their possible roles. Methods Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were induced by adipogenic differentiation,and the adipogenesis of cells was observed by oil red O staining. The expressions of HuR,FABP4,FASN,and LPL mRNA and protein were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting. After HuR was silenced by siRNA, the change of adipogenesis for human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells was observed and the expressions of adipogenic genes were detected. Results The expressions of HuR,FABP4,FASN,and LPL mRNA and protein were significantly increased after human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were induced to differentiate into adipocytes(all P<0.01). After HuR expression was down-regulated by siRNA,the adipogenic level of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells was reduced,with decreased protein levels of FABP4,FASN,and LPL(all P<0.05),which were without changes for their mRNA levels. Conclusion HuR promotes the differentiation of human adipocytes mainly via regulating the changes of FABP4,FASN,and LPL protein levels.

Objective:To investigate the possible role of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) 00602 in promoting browning in adipocytes induced by adenovirus type 36 (Ad36).Methods:According to Ad36 infection, adipose tissue samples of obese patients were divided into Ad36-negative group and Ad36-infected group. Realtime fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the changes in the expression of LncRNA00602 mRNA in omental adipose tissue of the two groups, and analyze the differences between the two groups. The correlation between waist-to-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triacylglyceride and other indicators of the patients in the group with LncRNA00602 mRNA expression were analyzed. HE staining was used to detect the size of adipocytes in the omental adipose tissue of the Ad36 negative group and the Ad36 infection group. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and PR domain containing 16 (PRDM16) in omental adipose tissue of two groups of patients. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) were isolated and cultured, using Ad36 to induce differentiation, and divided into control group and LncRNA00602 knockdown group. On 0, 2, and 4 days after LncRNA00602 knockdown, fluoroboron dipyrrole (BODIPY) and mitochondrial red fluorescence (Mito-Tracker Red) were used to stain intracellular lipid droplets and mitochondria. At the same time, qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect changes in the expression of UCP1 and PRDM16.Results:The expression of LncRNA00602 gene in the Ad36 infection group was higher than that in the Ad36 negative group (all P<0.05). The expression of LncRNA00602 in the Ad36 negative group was not significantly different from the above clinical indicators, while the expression of LncRNA00602 was negatively correlated with serum fasting blood glucose and triacylglyceride ( r=-0.522, -0.486, P<0.05) in the Ad36 infection group; HE staining showed that the average adipocyte area of the Ad36 infection group was smaller than that of the Ad36 negative group. At the same time, UCP1 and PRDM16 gene expression were higher than the negative group (all P<0.05). At the cellular level, on the 2nd and 4th days after knockdown of LncRNA00602, the lipid droplet area of adipocytes in the LncRNA00602 knockdown group was larger than that of the control group, the number of mitochondria decreased compared with the control group, and difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 or P<0.01); Compared with the control group, there was significantly lower expression of the browning marker genes UCP1, PRDM16, and protein in the adipocytes in the LncRNA00602 knockdown group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:In Ad36-induced adipocyte differentiation, LncRNA00602 may positively regulate the expression of UCP1, PRDM16 and lipid droplet metabolism, and promote the browning of adipocytes.

Objective : To investigate the influence and molecular mechanism of hypoxia-inducing factor-1 α( HIF- 1 α) gene silencing combined with methyl selenenic acid (MSA) on cervical cancer cell proliferation，apoptosis and cell migration． Methods : HeLa cells were transfected with HIF-1 interference RNA and negative control RNA．Af- ter transfection for 48 h，cells were stimulated with MSA for 24 h，and cell proliferation was determined by CCK-8 assay and colony formation．Apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry combined with Annexin V-FITC / PI．The expression levels of HIF-1α , Bcl-2 ，and E-cadherin were detected by Western blot assay． Cell migration ability was determined by Transwell assay. RNA-seq analysis was used to investigate the differentially expressed genes and differential signaling pathways. Results : Compared with the control group，interfering with HIF-1α combined with MSA significantly inhibited cell proliferation (P ＜0．01) ．Flow cytometry results showed that the combined drug group significantly induced apoptosis．Transwell results showed that interfering with HIF-1α combined with MSA inhibited HeLa cell migration．Compared with the control group，interfering with HIF-1α combined with MSA down- regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulated the expression of E-cadherin. RNA-sequencing combined with signal pathway enrichment results showed that the expression of apoptotic signal pathway and downstream genes was inhibited． Conclusion HIF-1α gene silencing combined with MSA can synergically inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of cervical cancer cells，and its regulatory mechanism may be related to the expression of Bcl-2 family proteins and the inhibition of p53 signaling pathway.

Objective To compare and analyze the differences between customized models and commercial universal models in the segmentation of organs-at-risk in cervical cancer,and to investigate the feasibility of customized models.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 270 cervical cancer patients.Senior clinicians manually delineated organs-at-risk,including the bladder,rectum,small intestine,pelvic bone marrow,femoral heads,and kidneys.The cases were randomly selected to develop customized models,with 202 cases allocated to the training set,38 cases to the test set,and 30 cases to the validation set.The universal and customized models were used for segmentation on the test set,and the automatic segmentation results obtained by the two models were compared with manual segmentation results to assess the performance of the customized model.Results Both customized model and universal model had comparable DSC values to manual segmentation,demonstrating satisfactory delineation outcomes(DSC values ranging from 0.7 to 0.9).However,in terms of deviation of centroid and 95％Hausdorff distance,the customized model surpassed the universal model.Conclusion Compared with the universal model,the customized model offers superior accuracy in delineating the structures of organs-at-risk in cervical cancer.As the customized model is optimized based on specific datasets,it provides precise support for clinical decision-making and holds promising applications in the treatment of cervical cancer.
