Objective To analyze the characteristics of lymphocyte subsets and interleukin-2 re-ceptor (CD25) in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) in Zhoushan island. Methods Automated blood analyzer , automatic biochemical analyzer and flow cytometry were used to meas-ure hematological parameters , biochemical parameters and lymphocyte subsets in patients with SFTS before and after treatment .The dynamic changes and correlation analysis were statistically analyzed .Results The counts of white blood cells (WBCs), platelets, total T cells and CD4+T cells in patients with SFTS before treatment were significantly lower than those in healthy subjects .The counts of WBCs and platelets were sig-nificantly increased after ten days of treatment , and the level of CD25+cells was higher than that in control group, but the level of total T cells and CD 4+T cells were still lower than those in healthy subjects ( P<0.05).Patients died of SFTS had significantly lower counts of total T cells , CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells and CD25+cells than cured patients (P<0.05).The level of CD25+cells and B cells were positively correlated with WBC level (P<0.05).Platelet level was positively correlated with the percentage of CD 4+T cells (P<0.05).The level of alanine aminotransferase and creatine kinase were positively correlated with the number of CD3+T and CD8+T cells (P<0.05).Conclusion SFTS virus infection affected the percentage of body′s immune cells, especially the level of CD4+T cells.The imbalanced immune system was correlated with the counts of WBCs , platelets and various enzymes in serum and it might be one of the factors causing extensive damage of multiple organs and tissues .

AIM:To investigate the role of anti-miR-21 oligonucleotide ( AMO) in the anti-leukemic activity of decitabine (DCA) in vitro.METHODS:AMO and scramble oligonucleotide (SCR) were constructed and transfected into HL-60 cells.The miR-21 expression was analyzed by real-time PCR to identify the transfection efficiency .The cells were treated with DCA at gradient concentrations (0.5, 2.0 and 4.0 μmol/L) for 48 h.The mRNA expression of human period circadian protein 3 (hPer3) was detected by real-time PCR.The early apoptotic rates were determined by flow cy-tometry with Annexin V/PI staining.Mean fluorescence intensities ( MFI) of CD117 and CD11b were also measured by flow cytometry.RESULTS:The miR-21 relative expression level in AMO group was significantly lower than that in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).IC50 of DCA in AMO group was significantly lower than that in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).With the same concentration of DCA, the early apoptotic rate, the mRNA expression of hPer3 and the MFI of CD11b in AMO group were significantly higher than those in blank group and SCR group (P<0.01).The MFI of CD117 in AMO group were significantly lower than those in blank group and SCR group ( P<0.01 ) .CONCLUSION:Activation of hPer3 expression plays an important role in enhanced anti-leukemic activity of decitabine by AMO in vitro.

Objective To explore the effect of SIRT1 gene silencing on the radiosensitivity of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the protein expression of SIRT1 in DLBCL tissues.Western blot was used to measure the expression of SIRT1 in DLBCL cell lines (OCI-Ly3,SU-DHL-2,and SU-DHL-4) and the immortalized B cell line HMy2.CIR.After SU-DHL-4 cells were transfected with si-SIRT1 and si-NC using Lipofectamine 2000,the expression of SIRT1 was determined by Western blot.MTT assay and colony-forming assay were used to assess the cell growth and colony formation ability of SU-DHL-4 cells treated with radiation.The group t-test or univariate analysis of variance was used for comparison between groups.Results The expression rate of SIRT1 in DLBCL tissues was 72.6%(103/140),which was significantly higher than that in reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) tissues (26.5%,8/25)(P=0.001).The SIRT1 expression was significantly higher in DLBCL cells than in HMy2.CIR cells (P=0.020).After SIRT1 gene silencing by si-SIRT1,the expression of SIRT1 was significantly reduced in SU-DHL-4 cells (P=0.008).Besides,SIRT1 gene silencing significantly reduced the growth rate and colony formation ability of SU-DHL-4 cells treated with radiation (P=0.030).Conclusions SIRT1 gene silencing enhances the radiosensitivity of DLBCL cells,providing a novel target for the radiotherapy of DLBCL.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of circular RNA-vimentin (circ-VIM) in the proliferation and apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells.Methods From December 2016 to December 2017, at Department of General Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the clinical data of 100 patients who underwent radical resection of colorectal cancer and were confirmed by pathological examination after operation were collected.The tumor tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues (negative control) were also collected.The expression of circ-VIM in the colorectal cancer tissues was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).The proliferation of HCT-116 and HT29 colorectal cancer cells was detected by cell counting kit-8 assay.The ratio of apoptosis of HCT-116 and HT29 cells was measured by annexin Ⅴ/propidium iodide double staining assay.The mitochondrial membrane potential of HCT-116 and HT29 cells was examined by 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl-imidacarbocyanine iodide (JC-1) assay.The expression changes of protein kinase B and mammalian target of rapamycin were tested by Western blotting.The target miRNA of circ-VIM was predicted by miRDB software.T-test and chi-square test were performed for statistical analysis. Results The expression of circ-VIM in colorectal cancer tissues was 2.387 ±0.536, which was higher than that in corresponding paracancerous tissues (1.110 ±0.134), and the difference was statistically significant (t =23.096, P <0.01).And the expression levels of circ-VIM were significantly different in patients with different tumor size, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (all P <0.05).The proliferation of HCT-116 cells and HT29 cells in lenti-circ-VIM group was 0.737 ±0.023 and 0.835 ±0.025, respectively, which were both higher than those in control group (0.449 ±0.020 and 0.531 ±0.019), and the differences were statistically significant (t =20.706 and-15.374, both P <0.01).The proliferation of HCT-116 cells and HT29 cells in lenti-circ-VIM-shRNA group was 0.236 ±0.027 and 0.243 ±0.019, which were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t =24.557 and -23.197, both P <0.01).The ratio of apoptosis of HCT-116 cells and HT29 cells in lenti-circ-VIM-shRNA group was (18.00 ±1.82)％ and (20.80 ±0.61)％, which was higher than those in control group ((6.64 ±2.01)％ and (7.35 ±1.36)％), and the differences were statistically significant (t =8.826 and 17.454, both P <0.01).The fluorescence intensity ratio of JC-1 aggregate and JC-1 monomer of HCT-116 cells and HT29 cells in lenti-circ-VIM-shRNA group was 2.21 ±0.12 and 1.40 ±0.11, which was lower than those in control group (14.54 ±1.00 and 9.24 ±1.18), and the differences were statistically significant (t =-19.558 and-15.685, both P <0.01), which indicated mitochondrial membrane potential decreased.After treated with lenti-circ-VIM-shRNA, the expression of phosphorylated protein kinase B, phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin, B-cell lymphoma-2 and mitochondrial cytochrome C at protein level were all down-regulated, however the expression of cytoplasmic cytochrome C, B-cell lymphoma-2 associated X protein and cleaved caspase-3 at protein level were all up-regulated.When the expression of circ-VIM was up-regulated, the expression of miRNA-147b, miRNA-4447 and miRNA-3656 was down-regulated.When the expression of circ-VIM was down-regulated, the expression of miRNA-147b, miRNA-4447 and miRNA-3656 was up-regulated.Conclusion The expression of circ-VIM in colorectal cancer is abnormally increased, which is involved in the proliferation and apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells.

Objective: To explore the influence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on pubertal development of boys and girls and to provide a reference for the development of intervention measures. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select a total of 1 156 students in grades three and four in the boarding school system and public primary schools in Huangshan City and surrounding towns in September 2018, using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Pubertal Development Scale (PDS). For the baseline self-assessment survey, according to different dimensions, abuse children score no exposure groups. Children were divided into an exposure group and a high exposure level group, according to their childhood experiences. PDS self-report questionnaire was administered two years later, and an analysis of ACE type and severity of the continuous impact of youth development was conducted. Results: In the baseline survey, there were 53 girls (11.32%) and 51 boys (7.41%) who developed earlier. The rate of early development in girls was higher than that of boys, and the difference was statistically significant(χ 2=5.21, P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed gender differences in the effects of type and severity of ACEs and abuse on adolescent development at both baseline and follow-up. There were gender differences in the rate of early development between boys and girls at baseline and at follow-up between the exposure groups. Regression analysis showed that the higher the degree of emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse in girls, the higher the PDS score(B=0.22, 0.15, 0.08, P<0.05). In boys, the more severe the emotional abuse experienced, the higher the PDS score, and the more severe the physical abuse experienced, the lower the PDS score(B=0.20, 0.04, P<0.05). Conclusion Attention should be paid to the influence of ACEs and gender differences during youth development among male and female students, and more longterm studies should also be carried out.
