Purpose To investigate the expression of miR-200a and PTEN in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and their relationships with clinicopathologic features. Methods In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry ( EnVision method) for miR-200a and PTEN were performed in 87 CRCs and normal colorectal tissues distant from tumors. Relationship between expression of miR-200a and PTEN and clinicopathologic parameters of CRC was also analyzed. Results The in situ hybridization showed that the positive expression rate of the miR-200a in CRC was higher than those in normal colorectal mucosa (P<0. 01). The expression of miR-200a was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation (rs =0. 503, P<0. 01). The immunohistochemistry showed that the positive expression rate of the PTEN in CRC was lower than those in normal colorectal mucosa (P<0. 01). The expression of miR-200a was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation (rs = -0. 493, P<0. 01). Expression of miR-200a and PTEN was not correlated with age, sex, tumor size, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P>0. 05). The expression of miR-200a had a close negative correlation to that of PTEN in CRC (P<0. 01). Conclusions Overexpression of miR-200a might be associated with the occurrence and development by targeting PTEN, and they could be the indicators in the early diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of CRC.
10.Hypoglycemia crisis and hyperglycemia crisis
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2020;27(8):567-571
Hypoglycemia crisis and hyperglycemia crisis are the most common endocrine and metabolic emergencies in PICU.Hypoglycemic crisis is caused by low blood glucose level(<2.2 mmol/L) and/or rapid reduction in blood glucose, which leads to autonomic neurogenic symptoms and central nervous system injury, even causes permanent brain injury and death.Early identification and timely glucose infusion are the key to improving prognosis.Hyperglycemic crisis is caused by abnormally increased blood glucose levels(>11 mmol/L), including diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state.The treatment principle of diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state include rapid fluid resuscitation to restore blood volume, control blood glucose, correct electrolyte and acid-base balance disorders, discover and removal of incentives and prevent complications.Cerebral edema and osmotic demyelination syndrome are the most fatal complications of hyperglycemic crisis.Early identification and active treatment can reduce the mortality.
