Background and purpose:miRNA plays important roles in tumorigenesis. It has been reported that many kinds of serum miRNA serve as markers for tumor diagnosis and screening. This study aimed to detect the expression of serum miRNA-31 (miR-31) in colorectal cancer patients and to explore the effect of miR-31 on cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle distribution. Methods: The expressions of miR-31 in 40 cases of colorectal cancer serum and 35 cases of the healthy control were examined by real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR). The correlation between miR-31 expression and clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer (including age, gender, depth of inifltration, lymph node metastasis, clinical stage) were further analyzed. The miR-31 mimics, inhibitor and miR-control (negative control) were transfected into HCT116 cells. The effect of miR-31 on cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK-8 method. Flow cytometry was used to examine the change of cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Results:Relative expression of serum miR-31 was signiifcantly increased in cancer patients compared with healthy controls (P<0.01). Expression of serum miR-31 was higher in poorly differentiated carcinoma than that in well or moderately differentiated carcinoma (P<0.05). No correlation was found between serum miR-31 expression and other clinicopathological variables. CCK-8 assay showed that after transfection with miR-31 mimics, the cell proliferation was increased, compared with miR-31 inhibitor and negative control group. Meantime, the apoptotic cell number was signiifcantly decreased, particularly in late apoptosis. The cell number of G1 stage was remarkably increased in miR-31 inhibitor group, compared with miR-31mimics and negative control group. Conclusion:The expression of serum miR-31 is higher in colorectal cancer. miR-31 can promote cell proliferation and inhibit the apoptosis of HCT116 cells. It might be a potential biomarker for colorectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of blood lipid levels with bone mass and fracture risk in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 744 elderly patients with T2DM who were treated in Tangshan Second Hospital from November 2018 to May 2020 were divided into normal bone mass group, low bone mass group and osteoporosis group according to bone mass levels. The total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels in the three groups were compared, and the relationship between lipid indexes and bone mass was analyzed. The risk of fracture was calculated in the low bone mass group, and the relationship between lipid index and fracture risk was analyzed by linear regression. The blood lipid index between subjects with fracture and without fracture in osteoporosis group was compared, and the relationship between blood lipid index and fracture was analyzed by logistic regression.Results:There were significant differences in gender and age among the three groups (χ 2=38.80, F=4.94, P<0.05). The normal bone mass group had the smallest proportion of women and the youngest average age, while the osteoporosis group had the largest proportion of women and the average age. maximum. The LDL-C level in normal bone mass group was higher than those in the low bone mass group and the osteoporosis group, and LDL-C level in the low bone mass group was higher than that in the osteoporosis group ( F=3.38, P<0.05). In the low bone mass group, the risk of systemic fracture was 3.50% (2.40%, 4.10%) and hip fracture was 0.99% (0.80%, 1.20%). Linear regression showed that LDL-C and TG were positively correlated with the risk of systemic fractures in the low bone mass group (LDL-C: B=0.98, P=0.006;TG: B=0.23, P=0.024);TG was positively correlated with the risk of hip fracture in the low bone mass group ( B=0.16, P=0.002). In the osteoporosis group, the levels of HDL-C and LDL-C were lower in the patients with fractures than those without fractures ( t=3.24, P=0.001; t=2.98, P=0.003). Logistic regression analysis showed that higher HDL-C and LDL-C levels were protection factors for fracture risk in the osteoporosis group ( β=-2.73, P=0.009, OR=0.06, 95 %CI=0.04-0.10; β=-0.15, P=0.033, OR=0.83, 95 %CI=0.74-0.99). Conclusion:The relationship of serum lipid index with bone mass and fracture risk in hospitalized elderly T2DM patients is complicated, it is suggested to set individual blood lipid control targets according to the bone mass of patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of abnormally expressed PD-1 on CD 4+CD 2 8+/-T cells in peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE ) . Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected form 50 patients with primary SLE and 40 healthy subjects and used to isolated mononuclear cells. Expression of CD4+CD28-, CD4+CD28+, CD4+CD28+PD-1+and CD4+CD28-PD-1+T cells in peripheral blood samples of the two groups were detected by flow cytometry. Clinical data of SLE patients were collected. Based on SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI), SLE patients were classified into two groups: stable group (SLEDAI<10) and active group (SLEDAI≥10). Based on the condition of renal damage, they were also divided into two groups: lupus nephritis group and non-lupus ne-phritis group. Differences in T cell expression were compared among these groups. Statistical analysis was performed to analyze the relationships of different T cell subsets with laboratory and clinical parameters rela-ting to SLE and SLEDAI. Results The percentages of peripheral CD4+CD28-, CD4+CD28+PD-1+and CD4+CD28-PD-1+T cells of active group were higher than those of stable and healthy control groups ( P<0. 05). Moreover, patients with lupus nephritis had higher percentages of these T cell subsets than those without (P<0. 01). SLE patients who were positive for anti-dsDNA or anti-SmRNP antibody, or had de-creased complement C3, thrombocytopenia or decreased lymphocytes had higher percentages peripheral CD4+CD28-T cells than those in the corresponding negative group. SLE patients who were positive for anti-dsDNA or anti-SmRNP antibody, or had decreased complement C3, complement C4 or lymphocytes showed en-hanced expression of peripheral CD4+CD28+PD-1+T cells as compared with those in the corresponding nega-tive group. SLE patients positive for anti-dsDNA antibody, or with decreased complement C3 or lymphocytes or suffering from alopecia had higher percentages of peripheral CD4+CD28-PD-1+T cell than those in the cor-responding negative group. Differences between different groups were statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion Abnormal expression of CD4+CD28-T cells and PD-1 on CD4+CD28-and CD4+CD28+T cells in peripheral blood of patients with SLE has certain correlation with laboratory parameters and clinical indicators.

Objective:
To improve the understanding of high calcium risk in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) during the chemotherapy.
Methods:
The diagnosis and treatment of high calcium risk in one patient with DLBCL during the chemotherapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University was retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literatures were reviewed.
Results:
A 52-year-old man who was diagnosed with DLBCL (non-specific, non-germinal center source; stage Ⅳ group A; International prognosis index score 4 points, high-risk group) in June 2017. Two times R-CHOP chemotherapy was performed before diagnosis. This patient was admitted to the hospital for the third chemotherapy, and the disease assessment showed that the enlarged lymph nodes were not significantly smaller than before, and the tumor burden was still high. Therefore, the chemotherapy regimen was adjusted to R-GDP regimen. However, on the 8th day after the end of rituximab treatment, the patient had head pain, which might be related to the patient's poor sleep and primary invasion of the primary disease (blood calcium: 2.94 mmol/L). And then the ibuprofen and diuresis treatments were given, but the symptoms were still gradually worsening, and vomiting appeared on the 9th day, systemic fatigue with drowsiness and irritability appeared on the 12th day. Review blood calcium: 5.02 mmol/L. Adequate fluid hydration, diuretic, renal replacement treatments were given, and the level of blood calcium gradually returned to normal. Finally, the patient's symptoms were improved significantly, and he successfully completed R-GDP chemotherapy.
Conclusion
If a DLBCL patient has symptoms such as headache, lethargy, irritability or even coma during the chemotherapy, it is necessary to alert the possibility of hypercalcemia and to timely improve the relevant examination and make symptomatic treatment.
