Objective To detect the expression of EIF5A2 in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and to explore its relation with clinicopathological characters and prognosis of HCC patients. Methods The expression of EIF5A2 mRNA and protein in 12 pairs of fresh HCC and corresponding non-tumor tissues adjacent to the cancer was examined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The expression level of EIF5A2 in 284 pairs of HCC and adjacent non-tumor tissues was detected by IHC staining. Then we analyzed between EIF5A2 expression and clinical pathological parameters and prognosis of HCC patients. Results The relative expression levels of EIF5A2 mRNA and protein in fresh HCC tissues were significantly higher than those in the corresponding adjacent non-tumor tissues (t=5.305, P=0.0003; t=10.120, P < 0.001); EIF5A2 expression in 284 HCC tissues was significantly higher than that in the corresponding adjacent non-tumor tissues (z=-12.186, P < 0.001). The expression of EIF5A2 was significantly correlated with tumor size (χ²=13.079, P < 0.001), tumor multiplicity (χ²=4.589, P=0.032) and differentiation degree (χ²=4.844, P=0.028). The 3- and 5-year overall survival time and disease-free survival time of the patients with high expression of EIF5A2 were significantly shorter than those with low expression of EIF5A2 (P < 0.001). EIF5A2 was an independent prognostic factor affecting the 3- and 5-year overall survival time and disease-free survival time of HCC patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion The up-regulation of EIF5A2 expression may be related with the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma. The high expression of EIF5A2 is an independent influence factor for poor prognosis and EIF5A2 can be used as a potential molecular marker for predicting the prognosis of HCC patients.

Objective:Gastrointestinal heat retention syndrome (GHRS) is associated with lung-heat syndrome and is related to recurrent respiratory infection.Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) lung heat syndrome is common in children.The study will explore the effect of GHRS on the structure and function of gut microbiota in children with URTI lung-heat syndrome.Methods:Participants were divided into both groups using the self-developed URTI scale and the "GHRS Diagnostic Scale · Pediatric Part":GHRS-positive children (LS group) and GHRS-negative children (L group).General information,clinical symptoms,and stool were collected.We used 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing technology to determine the gene sequence of the V3-V4 region in feces and measure the gut microbiota of the both groups at the genus level.Results:A total of 23 children were included in the both groups.There were 12 cases in the LS group and 11 cases in the L group.There was no statistical difference between the both groups in age,gender,height,weight,and body mass index.The effective sequences shared by the both groups accounted for 85.66％ of the total.In the gut microbiota,there was no difference in the α diversity and the β diversity between the both groups.Compared with the L group,the LS group had a significant increase in the relative abundance of the Rurninococcus gnavus group,Prevotella-9,Staphylococcus,and Actinomyces(P ＜.05).The functions of the both groups of microbiota primarily concentrate on metabolism,genetic information processing,and environmental information processing.The relative abundance of signaling molecules and interactions in the LS group were higher than that in the L group (P ＜.05).The redun-dancy analysis (RDA) showed that the URTI score had the greatest impact on the distribution of microbiota.Conclusion:GHRS may affect the development of URTI lung-heat syndrome by changing the relative abundances of gut microbiota.

Objective:To investigate the effect of cyclin A1 on the invasion, metastasis, and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expressional condition of cyclin A1 in HCC and paraffin-embedded non-tumor adjacent tissues. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the survival analysis of patients with HCC. Western blot (WB) was used to detect the expression of cyclin A1 in HCCLM3 and QGY-7703 cells. Scratch wound healing assay, transwell migration, and invasion assay were used to detect the effect of cyclin A1 overexpression on cell migration and invasion ability. WB was used to detect changes in the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, MMP9, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) after overexpression of cyclin A1. Measurement data were compared using a t-test and analysis of variance. Count data was measured using χ2 test and the Log-rank method was performed for survival analysis. Results:Cyclin A1 expression rates were higher in the tissues of HCC patients with recurrent metastasis than in the tissues of patients without recurrent metastasis (60.42% vs. 46.81%, χ2 = 4.711, P < 0.05). The overall postoperative survival time (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were shorter in patients with high cyclin A1 expression than those with low cyclin A1 expression (45.9 months vs. 53.1 months; 42.9 months vs. 51.3 months, and P < 0.01). The postoperative OS and DFS were shorter in patients with high cyclin A1 expression and recurrent metastasis than those with low cyclin A1 expression without recurrent metastasis (31.7 months vs. 43.9 months; 18.0 months vs. 31.5 months, and P < 0.05). HCCLM3 and QGY-7703 cells were higher in the cyclin A1-pEX group than in the empty vector (vector) group (1.56 ± 0.06 vs. 0.18 ± 0.01, t = 18.75, P < 0.001; 1.31 ± 0.05 vs.0.37 ± 0.02, t = 15.17, P < 0.001). The migrated distances of HCCLM3 cells in the cyclin A1-pEX group and the vector group were (536.7 ± 14.5) μm and (327.3 ± 9.3) μm, t = 11.84, P < 0.05, respectively, while the migrated distances of QGY-7703 cells in the two groups were (916.7 ± 35.3) μm and (320.0 ± 20.8) μm, t = 13.54, P < 0.01. The migrated numbers of HCCLM3 cells in the cyclin A1-pEX group and vector group were (37.3 ± 2.4) and (7.0 ± 1.2), t = 12.67, P < 0.001, and the number of invasive cells was (73.7 ± 4.1) and (12.6 ± 1.5), t = 12.36, P < 0.001, respectively. The migrated numbers of QGY-7703 cells in the two groups were (153.3 ± 6.0) and (17.7 ± 3.7), t = 17.59, P < 0.001, and the number of invasive cells was (45.0 ± 2.9) and (9.3 ± 1.5), t = 10.66, P < 0.001, respectively. The expression levels of MMP2, MMP9, and VEGF in HCCLM3 and QGY-7703 cells were significantly higher in the cyclin A1-pEX group than those in the vector group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:Cyclin A1 plays an important role in HCC invasion and metastasis, but HCC patients with high cyclin A1 expression have a poor prognosis. Hence, cyclin A1 has high guiding significance for evaluating patient prognosis.

Starting from the importance of clinical teachers' teaching competency research, this study analyzes the educational goals of applied undergraduate medical colleges and universities for clinical teachers' teaching competence requirements; comparatively analyzes the competence characteristics of college teachers and Chinese clinicians; defines the teaching competency of clinical teachers. And 15 items of clinical teacher teaching competency characteristics of applied undergraduate medical colleges are obtained, and the current status of clinical teacher competence of the college is evaluated and analyzed by this model. The results show that the average scores of clinical teachers in the affiliated hospitals have met the requirements of the competency items, and the competencies are relatively good. Among them, the professional quality and professional competence evaluation items have higher scores, but the teaching research and reform and the scores of teaching design and implementation are relatively low, which shows that the teaching and research ability of clinicians is a short board of clinical teachers.
