Objective To investigate the expression of six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate (STEAP) in prostate cancer and its relationship with prostate specific antigen (PSA).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of 65 consecutive patients verified for prostate canc-er by prostate biopsy or post-operational pathological examination.The clinical stage was classified ac-cording to TNM system and the pathological grade was classified according to Gleason score.STEAP expression in 65 prostate cancer samples (T1 9,T2 14,T3 17,T4 25;high differentiation 37,moder-ate differentiation 12 and low differentiation 16) was studied by using STEAP monoclonal antibody (Santa Cruz Biotech,USA) and SP immunohistochemical staining.Positive staining gray values were introduced to describe the intensity of STEAP expression.STEAP expression level was analyzed with respect to stage,grade,serum total PSA and free/total PSA (f/t PSA) ratio respectively.Results The serum total PSA concentration and f/t PSA ratio in all cases was (27.65±8.34) ng/ml and 0.15~0.04 respectively.STEAP was positively stained in 63 patients (T1 7,T2 14,T3 17,T4 25; high differentiation 37,moderate differentiation 11 and low differentiation 15).The mean STEAP-positive staining gray values in stage T1,T2,T3 and T4 of prostate cancer were 26.8%,45.6%,62.3% and 76.5%,respectively and in high,moderate and low differentiation group were 71.2%,52.8%,and 34.4% respectively.The positive staining gray values of STEAP expression was posi-tively correlated to the clinical stage of cancer and negatively correlated to the Gleason score and the ratio of f/t PSA (P<0.01,respectively).There was no significant relationship between STEAP ex-pression and serum total PSA concentration (P>0.05).Conclusion STEAP expression may act as one of new markers to the invasion degree and pathological grade of prostate cancer.

Objective To study the role and mechanism of orexin A in cell viability of Alzheimer's disease (AD) cell model PC12. Methods PC12 cells were treated with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μmol/L Aβ25-35 for 24 h, and then, cell viability was measured by MTT to confirm which concentration was the suitable one to establish the AD cell models. (1) AD cell models were treated with 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 2μmol/L orexin A for 24 h, and then, 30μmol/L Aβ25-35 was added for 24 h; MTT assay was used to determine the cell viability to conform the suitable concentration of orexin A. (2) Inverted phase contrast microscope was employed to observe the morphology changes of PC12 cells from the control group, 30 μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group, and 0.01 μmol/L orexin A+30 μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group. (3) The PC12 cells were given pretreatment of orexin A receptor inhibitor SB408124 for 2 h, and cell viability was detected. Results (1) Aβ25-35 at concentration 30μmol/L was the suitable one to establish the AD cell models;after being pretreated with different concentrations of orexin A, the cell viability showed significant differences (F=27.120, P=0.000), and 0.01μmol/L orexin A was the suitable concentration. (2) Some of the cells from the 30μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group had breaking-off of protuberance and damaged soma;cells from 0.01μmol/L orexin A+30μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group had breaking-off of protuberance, and the degree of damaged soma was eased as compared with that in the 30μmol/L Aβ25-35 treatment group. (3) If the cell viability of the control group was 100%, cell viability of orexin A receptor inhibitor group was 109.10%±0.36%, which was significantly decreased as compared with that in the 0.01 μmol/L orexin A pretreated group (117.24%±2.72%, P<0.05). Conclusion Orexin A can improve the cell viability via combination of its specific receptor; orexin A and its specific receptor may be new targets for prevention and cure of AD.

Middle-aged and elderly patients with femoral neck fracture often suffer from basic diseases. Conservative treatment will significantly increase the incidence of complications. At present, surgical treatment is mostly advocated. Internal fixation is one of the effective treatment methods for middle-aged and elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. It has the advantages of improving hip joint function, accelerating patient recovery, and improving patient quality of life. At present, there are many choices of internal fixation in the world, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no unified standard. Different surgical methods can be selected according to various factors such as fracture type, patient′s physical condition and surgical auxiliary technology. This article reviews the clinical progress of internal fixation for femoral neck fractures in middle-aged and elderly patients from four aspects: the characteristics of femoral neck fractures in middle-aged and elderly patients, common internal fixation methods, 3D printing guide plate auxiliary technology and artificial intelligence auxiliary technology.

OBJECTIVE: To study the mechanism of couplet medicine of Tripterygium hypoglaucum-Spatholobus suberectus in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: The RA targets were retrieved and obtained by therapeutic target database (TTD), DrugBank and DisGeNET databases, and the protein protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to screen its key targets. Using oral bioavailability(OB)≥30%, drug like(DL)≥0.18 and drug half-life (HL) ≥4 h as index, active components were obtained from couplet medicine of T. hypoglaucum-S. suberectus by using TCM systematic pharmacological analysis platform (TCMSP) and TCM integrated database (TCMID), and the targets were predicted. The active component-target network of couplet medicine of T. hypoglaucum-S. suberectus was constructed. Systems Dock Web Site online platform and Genomics platform were used to screen the active component and common targets of RA of couplet medicine of T. hypoglaucum-S. suberectus; KEGG signaling pathways of common targets were analyzed by using Cluego plug-in unit of Cytoscape 3.2.1 software. RESULTS: Totally 1 956 RA targets were retrieved, involving 11 key targets [such as IL-6, TNF, VEGFA]. The couplet medicine contained 30 active components (including luteolin, erythroxanthin, β-sitosterol and triptolide) and 229 targets. There were 37 common targets for couplet medicine of T. hypoglaucum-S. suberectus and RA (including MMP2, TNF, VEGFA). KEGG signaling way involved cell apoptosis, IL-17 signaling pathway, Th17 cell differentiation pathway and TNF signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS: The couplet medicine of T. hypoglaucum-S. suberectus may play a role in the treatment of RA by acting on cell apoptosis, IL-17 signaling pathway and other signaling pathways through MMP2, TNF, and VEGFA target. The results of this study can provide a reference for further study on the mechanism of the effects of couplet medicine of T. hypoglaucum-S. suberectus on RA.
