Objective To investigate the correlation between sTREM-1 and inflammatory factors expression in critical patients and its effect on severity of disease and clinical prognosis .Methods sTREM-1 ,TNF-α,IL-6 ,IL-10 levels were checked in serum of 54 patients who admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) on the first day and only sTREM-1 was checked again on the third day .At the same time ,APACHEⅡand survival situation in 28 days were recorded .Results sTREM-1 level in critical patients was positive correlated with TNF-α,IL-6 and APACHEⅡ(P<0 .01) .There was positive correlation between APACHE Ⅱ and TNF-α,IL-6 ,but pearson correlation coefficient between sTREM-1 and APACHE Ⅱ was higher than TNF-α,IL-6 .Compared with the survivor group ,the concentrations of serum sTREM-1 was significantly higer in non-survivor group on the first day and the third day after entering ICU(P<0 .05) .Conclusion sTREM-1 level is positive correlated with inflammatory reaction and the severity of disease .It also has prognostic value for outcome in patients with critical illness .

Objective To investigate the role of intestinal fatty acid binding protein(I-FABP)in evaluating intestinal dysfunction of septic rats and the effect of glutamine on I-FABP expression.Methods Rats were divided into 3 groups,control group were only fed with Peptisorb,model group were fed with Peptisorb after intraperitoneal injection with E.coli endotoxin lipopolysaccharidegiven and glutamine group were added glutamine on basis of model group.The correlation between serum I-FABP level and intestinal mucosa damage index were analyzed and the concentrations of serum I-FABP in each group were observed and compared. Results The serum level of I-FABP in rats were correlated with the Chiu’s score of intestinal mucosa,mucosa thickness and villus length(P<0.05 ).Compared with control group,the concentration of serum I-FABP in model group and glutamine group were significantly increased(P<0.05),but which in glutamine group was lower than that in model group(P<0.05).Conclusions Serum I-FABP could be an non-invasive diagnosis index for evaluating acute intestinal dysfunction in septic rats.In addition,dietary glutamine supplementation may ameliorate sepsis-induced intestinal epithelial injury in rats.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the pathogenesis of gastric cancer through a bioinformatic approach to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer. METHODS: The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in gastric cancer and normal gastric mucosa in GSE79973 dataset were analyzed using GEO2R online tool. GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of the DEGs in DAVID database were performed. The protein interaction network was constructed using STRING database, and the key genes (Hub genes) were screened and their functional modules were analyzed using Cytoscape software. The GEPIA database was used to validate the Hub genes, and the Target Scan database was used to predict the microRNAs that regulate the target genes; OncomiR was used to analyze the expressions of the microRNAs in gastric cancer tissues and their relationship with the survival outcomes of the patients. RESULTS: A total of 181 DEGs were identified in gastric cancer, and 10 hub genes were screened by the protein- protein interaction network. Functional analysis showed that these DEGs were involved mainly in protein digestion and absorption, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction and platelet activation signal pathway. GEPIA database validation showed that COL1A1 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and was associated with a poor prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. MiR-129-5p was found to bind to the 3'UTR of COL1A1 mRNA, and compared with that in normal tissues, miR-129-5p expression was obviously down-regulated in gastric cancer tissues, and was correlated with the prognosis of the patients. CONCLUSIONS COL1A1 under regulation by MiR-129-5p is a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
