Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of inhibitor 4 of growth(ING4)delivered by adenovirus on human breast carcinoma cell MDA-MB-231.Methods MDA-MB-231 human breast carcinoma cells were irfected with Ad-ING4.The expression level of ING4 gene was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot;The growth inhibition,cell-cycle alteration,and apoptosis were detected by MTT,Flowcytometry and Hochest33258 staining.respectively.RT-PCR was used to detect the transcription of Bax,Bc1-2,Survivin genes;The expression level of Ang-1 gene was detected by ELISA;Ad-ING4 was given intratumorally in athymic nude mice beating MDA-MB.231 tumors.and then tumor growth was monitored;The expression of Bc1-2,Bax and Caspase-3 was analyzed by immumohistochemistry.Results ING4 was successfully transcribed and translated iU MDA-MB-231 cells:Ad-ING4 significantly inhibited the proliferation and induced G_2/M phase arrest to(24.86±1.24)% and cell apoptosis of MDAMB-231.Intratumoral injection of Ad-ING4 suppressed the tumor growth obviously with a inhibitory rate of 49%;Immumohistochemistry showed that the expression of Bax,Caspase-3 were up-regulated and the expression of Bc1-2.Survivin,CD34 were down-regulated by Ad-ING4.Conclusions Ad-ING4 can inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells and induce apoptosis in vitro and in vivo.

Objective To compare the clinical therapeutic effect of radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under combination of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy (RECTL) with traditional radical resection of esophageal carcinoma(TREC).Methods 80 patients receiving RECTL and 80 patients receiving TREC were chosen in our hospital.The general conditions during operation,pathologic data,postoperative complications and recurrence or metastasis rates were compared between two groups.Results Compared with TREC group,RECTL group had longer operation time 、less bleeding、less postoperative chest drainage liquid amount and less postoperative morphine administration (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).The postoperative hospital stays were not statistically different between the two groups(P >0.05).The length of resected esophagus specimen and tumor near end cutting edge length in RECTL group are longer than that in TREC group,but with the former no statistically different(P >0.05) and the latter statistically different(P < 0.05).There were no statistical differences about the number of dissected lymph nodes and the incidence of complications and local recurrence by cut plant between the two groups(P > 0.05).The incidence of postoperative reflux gastritis was 7.1% in RECTL group and 45 % in TREC group,with significantly statistical difference(P <0.01).The two groups had similar recurrence or metastasis rate(P > 0.05).Conclusion Radical resection of esophageal carcinoma under combination of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy,with small wound and early recovery,has the same effect as traditional operational resection of esophageal carcinoma.

Objective:To analyze the positive detection rate, main genotypes of β-thalassemia in western region of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (referred to as Guangxi).Methods:Retrospective analysis of 26 189 individuals who underwent gene testing for thalassemia at the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities from January 2013 to December 2019. Using the crossing breakpoint PCR (Gap-PCR) and reverse dot blot (RDB) techniques to detect Chinese common type of 7 kinds of α-thalassemia and 17 kinds of β-thalassemia genotypes, high-throughput sequencing(Sanger) was performed for suspected rare β-thalassemia. Gap-PCR was used for suspected deletion β-thalassemia types.Results:β-thalassemia was diagnosed in 4 495 (17.16%) of 26 189 samples. A total of 6 177 alleles of 20 types of β-thalassemia were detected, mainly CD17 (2 712 cases, 43.90%) and CD41-42 (2 240 cases, 36.26%), including 7 rare alleles: Gγ +( Aγδβ) 0, SEA-HPFH, Hb New York, Hb G-Taipei, Hb Hezhou, Hb G-Coushatta and IVS-Ⅱ-81. There were 3 903 case (86.83%) heterozygous, 273 case (6.07%) double heterozygous, and 319 case (7.10%) homozygous among 4 495 β-thalassaemia subjects. A total of 48 genotypes were detected. The two most common genotypes were CD17/β N (1 890 cases, 42.05%) and CD41-42/β N (1 212 cases, 26.96%), accounted for 69.01% (3 102/4 495). Seven rare genotypes were detected: Gγ +( Aγδβ) 0/β N in 3 cases, Hb New York/β N in 3 cases, Hb G-Taipei/β N in 2 cases, SEA-HPFH/β N, Hb Hezhou/β N, Hb G-Coushatta/β N and IVS-Ⅱ-81/β N in 1 case each. A total of 1 041 cases (3.97%, 1 041/26 189) of 116 types of αβ-thalassemia were detected, mainly -- SEA/αα composite CD17/β N (144 cases, 13.83%), followed by -α 3.7/αα composite CD17/β N (112 cases, 10.76%). Conclusions:Western region of Guangxi is a high prevalence area of β-thalassemia, CD17/β N and CD41-42/β N are the main genotypes. The variation spectrum of β-thalassemia is complex and diverse, with rich genotype.

Objective To observe the value of augmented reality(AR)navigation system for assisting CT-guided puncture of pulmonary nodules in dog models.Methods Five healthy dogs were selected,and 4 target lung rings were implanted in each dog to build pulmonary nodule models.Deferring to crossover design,CT-guided punctures were performed with or without AR navigation 2 and 4 weeks after successful modeling,respectively,while punctures with AR navigation were regarded as AR group and the others as conventional group,respectively.The time duration of puncturing,the times of CT scanning,of needle adjustment,and the deviation distance between needle pinpoint to the center of pulmonary nodule shown on three-dimensional reconstruction were compared between groups.Results The duration time of puncture in AR group and conventional group was(13.62±5.11)min and(20.16±4.76)min,respectively.In AR group,the times of CT scanning,of needle adjustment,and the deviation distance was 2.40±0.50,2.75±0.44 and(2.94±1.92)mm,respectively,while in conventional group was 3.10±0.64,3.70±0.57 and(4.90±3.38)mm,respectively.The introduction of AR navigation was helpful to shortening the duration of puncture,reducing times of CT scanning and needle adjustment,also decreasing positioning error of needle pinpoint(all P<0.05).In contrast,the variance of puncture sequences and dogs had no obvious effect on the results(both P>0.05).Conclusion AR navigation system could improve accuracy and efficiency in CT-guided puncture of pulmonary nodules in dog models.
