Objective:To explore the inhibition of microRNA (miRNA, miR)-5590-3p on the expression of transforming growth factor beta typeⅡreceptor (TGFBR2) gene and its effect on the invasion and proliferation of gastric cancer cell line HS-746T.Methods:The gastric cancer cell line was cultured in vitro. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression of miR-5590-3p in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. The miR-NC and miR-5590-3p mimic were transfected into gastric cancer cell line HS-746T by lipofection, and named as miR-NC group and miR-5590-3p group, respectively. qRT-PCR was used to measure transfection effects. Transwell assay and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay were used to detect cell invasion and proliferation after transfection. The bioinformatics software predicts and the dual luciferase reporter gene system validates the target gene of miR-5590-3p. qRT-PCR and western blot were used to measure the expression of TGFBR2 and its downstream proteins in the transfected cells. Results:The expression of miR-5590-3p in gastric cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues ( P<0.01). The expression of miR-5590-3p in gastric cancer cell lines was significantly lower than that in normal gastric mucosal epithelial cells ( P<0.05), and lowest in HS-746T cells ( P<0.01). After transfection, the expression of miR-5590-3p in miR-5590-3p group (11.76±0.21) was significantly higher than that in miR-NC group (1.06±0.21), with statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). The number of invasive cells in miR-NC group and miR-5590-3p group were (101.20±15.47) and (26.53±6.53), respectively, and the invasion ability of miR-5590-3p group was significantly decreased ( P<0.01). Compared with the miR-NC group, the cell proliferation ability of the miR-5590-3p group was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Bioinformatics software showed that the target gene for miR-5590-3p is TGFBR2. The dual luciferase reporter gene system confirmed that miR-5590-3p can target the TGFBR2 gene ( P<0.01). Western blot results showed that compared with miR-NC group, the expression of TGFBR2 in HS-746T cells in miR-5590-3p group was significantly decreased ( P<0.01), the expression of ZEB-1 and ZEB-2, and the expression of CDK1 and cyclin B proteins were decreased as well. Conclusions:miR-5590-3p can inhibit the invasion and proliferation of gastric cancer cell HS-746T by targeting and regulating the expression of TGFBR2 gene.

Objective To investigate risk factors related to postoperative death of patients with rectosigmoid junction tumor perforation.Methods The clinical data of 76 cases with rectosigmoid junction tumor perforation confirmed by laparotomy from January 2000 to October 2015 were collected.Results Of the 76 cases,17 patients died postoperatively,the mortality rate was 22％,the single factor analysis showed that age(x2 =4.649,P =0.031),duration of abdominal pain(x2 =8.218,P =0.016),severe heart and lung diseases(x2 =11.996,P =0.007),circulatory and renal function(x2 =10.360,P =0.016),serum albumin(x2 =7.252,P =0.027),white blood cell count(x2 =7.633,P =0.022),Perforation diameter (x2 =9.770,P =0.008),Geroge grade of intraperitoneal contamination (x2 =10.086,P =0.006) were related to postoperative death (P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that complicating severe heart and lung diseases,preexisted circulatory and renal dysfunction,white blood cell count ＜ 4 × 109/L,size ＞ 3 cm,intraperitoneal contamination larger than one quadrant were independent risk factors for postoperative death.Conclusion Risk factors related to postoperative death of rectosigmoid junction tumor perforation were preoperative important organ dysfunction and intraperitoneal infection.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remifentanil on Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) mRNA expression during renal ischemia-reperfusion (Ⅰ/R) in rats.Methods Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=18 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),Ⅰ/R group and remifentanil group (group R).Renal Ⅰ/R injury was produced by clamping the bilateral renal arteries for 45 min followed by reperfusion in Ⅰ/R and R groups.Bilateral renal arteries were only exposed but not clamped in group S.Remifentanil 1.0 μg · kg-1 · min-1 was infused via the tail vein starting from 15 min before ischemia until 30 min of reperfusion in group R,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in S and Ⅰ/R groups.The animals were sacrificed at 15 min before ischemia and 6 and 24 h of reperfusion,and the renal specimens were obtained for examination of the pathological changes (with light microscope) and for determination of the contents of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) (by ELISA) and expression of TLR2 mRNA (by RT-PCR) and cell apoptosis (by double staining and flow eytometry).The apoptotic rate was calculated.Results Compared with group S,TLR2 mRNA expression was significantly up-regulated,and the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 and apoptotic rate were increased at 6 and 24 h of reperfusion in Ⅰ/R and R groups.Compared with group Ⅰ/R,TLR2 mRNA expression was significantly down-regulated,and the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 and apoptotic rate were decreased at 6 and 24 h of reperfusion in group R.The pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group R as compared with group Ⅰ/R.Conclusion The mechanism by which remifentanil reduces renal Ⅰ/R injury is related to down-regulation of TLR2 expression and decrease in TLR2 activity and inhibition of inflammatory responses in renal tissues and cell apoptosis in rats.

Objective To investigate the efficacies of different times and frequencies of acupoint application in preventing and treating child asthma of spleen-lung qi deficiency type. Method Sixty children with asthma of spleen-lung qi deficiency type were randomly allocated to dog days, dog days reinforcement, coldest days and coldest days reinforcement groups for treatment by acupoint application. The therapeutic effects were evaluated using the TCM symptom score as the observation indicator in the four groups after three months of treatment. Result The TCM symptom score decreased significantly in the four groups at the follow-up after three months of treatment (P<0.05). The main effect of treatment time was marked (F=17.04, P<0.05). The main effect of treatment frequency was marked (F=8.17, P<0.05). Conclusion Different times and frequencies of acupoint application both decrease the TCM symptom score in children with asthma. The therapeutic effect is better in dog days than in three nine-day period after the winter solstice. An increase in treatment frequency influences the therapeutic effect obviously. The therapeutic effect is best in the dog days reinforcement group.

Objective:To study the effects and mechanisms of acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid ( AKBA) in myocardial ischemic model induced by isoproterenol hydrochloride ( ISO) in rats. Methods:The SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group, model group, AKBA low dose group and AKBA high dose group. Myocardial injury model was induced by subcutaneous injection of ISO (100 mg·kg-1 ) . The change of ST segment in ECG was observed. Creatine kinase ( CK-MB) , cardiac troponin I ( cTnI) , lactate dehydro-genase( LDH) , malondialdehyde( MDA) and superoxide dismutase( SOD) in the blood were detected by ELISA. The change of histo-logical tissue was determined by HE staining, and cell apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL assay. Results: Serum CK-MB, cTnI and LDH were decreased significantly in AKBA high dose group when compared with those in the model group. Compared with that in the model group, MDA content was lowered and the SOD activity was increased in AKBA high dose group. Furthermore, AKBA high dose group improved the pathologic changes of myocardium. TUNEL assay revealed significant reduction of cardiomyocytes apoptosis in the hearts of the ischemic rats in AKBA high dose group. Conclusion:AKBA has excellent cardioprotective effect on myocardial ischemic induced by ISO and protection of myocardial cells from injury.
