Objective : To investigate the mutation of VHL gene, an important tumor suppressor gene in primary sporadic human renal cell carcinoma (RCC),and analyse its relationships with pathological stage and grade of renal cell carcinoma. Methods: We analyzed 57 cases of primary sporadic Chinese renal clear carcinoma using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography(DHPLC).All positive cases in DHPLC analysis were further characterized by direct sequencing. Results: Somatic mutations were detected in 30 (53%) of 57 clear cell renal carcinomas including 13 deletions, 2 insertions, and 15 missense mutations. These mutations mainly occurred in the last one third region of exon 1, 2,and 3. Conclusion: VHL tumor suppressor gene is one of the major tumor suppressor genes in human renal cell carcinoma,and there are frequent mutations of VHL in primary sporadic Chinese renal clear cell carcinomas. The mutations of VHL gene were irrespective of the age and pathological grade and stage of patients.
2.Research progress on the community of full-cycle disease management of childhood with epilepsy
Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2023;29(20):2771-2775
Epilepsy is a common chronic disease of the nervous system, which has the characteristics of long course and easy recurrence. Childhood is a period of high incidence of epilepsy. The prognosis of children with epilepsy affects the outcome of the entire epileptic population. Therefore, long-term standardized treatment and nursing are very important to improve the health outcome of patients. This paper reviews the overview, treatment management and nursing management of the community (doctors, nurses, children and parents) of full-cycle disease management of childhood with epilepsy, so as to provide reference for the establishment for the community of full-cycle disease management of childhood with epilepsy.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between left behind experiences due to work migration of parents with depressive and anxiety symptoms among left behind middle school stutents, to provide a theoretical basis for the government to formulate intervention policies for mental health of left behind children.
Methods:
The stratified random cluster sampling method was used to investigate 2 160 children in Poyang and Guangfeng Counties of Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province from April to June, 2019. Finally, 776 left behind children aged 13 to 18 were selected. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate the depression and anxiety symptoms. Family characteristics and lifestyle behaviors of left behind children were investigated by questionnaire.
Results:
In terms of gender, the detection rates of both depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms were higher in girls than in boys. In terms of age, the detection rates of depressive symptoms (43.2%) and anxiety symptoms (39.9%) in left behind children in high school (16-18 years old) were higher than those in middle school (13-15 years old)( 27.3 % and 33.0%). The detection rate of depressive among left behind children significantly differet in sexual, gender ( χ 2= 10.48 , 21.08); the detection rate of anxiety symptoms among left behind children significantly different in sexual, maternal occupation, and paternal educational background ( χ 2=8.66, 5.30, 8.35) ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Parent child separation is associated with depressive symptoms in left behind middle school stutents. Mental health of children in middle school stutents is of great significance to the prevention of depression and anxiety symptoms in left behind children.

AIM:We investigated how AT 1-R stimulated by mechanical stresses induces cardiac fibrosis .METHODS:We produced in vivo cardiac pressure overload model in angiotensinogen knockout ( ATG-/-) mice and in vitro mechanically-stretched cell model in cultured neonatal cardiac cells of ATG-/-mice both lack the participation of Ang II .RESULTS: Pressure overload for 4 weeks in ATG-/-mice induced myocardial hypertrophy accompanied by the significant interstitial fibrosis , however , the TGF-β, a key regulatory factor of fibrosis, was not significantly increased in these ATG-/-mice.Meanwhile, the inhibitor for AT1-R significantly inhibited mechani-cal stress-induced cardiac fibrosis in these ATG-/-models whereas inhibition of TGF-βdid not.CONCLUSION:The results showed that mechanical stress-induced fibrotic responses through AT 1-R required the phosphorylation of Smad 2 but not the involvement of TGF-β.

Objective To investigate the effect and potential molecular mechanism of PTGS2 on the prognosis of colon cancer patients.Methods The transcriptomic and proteomic data of pan-cancer were collected from TCGA,HPA,UALCAN and other databases,and the expression pattern and prognostic value of PTGS2 were analyzed by combining the clinical data such as staging,histology,survival time and so on.Based on GSEA,the biological functions which were significantly activated in patients with high expression of PTGS2 were iden-tified and the colon cancer cell line SW480 was used as an example for in vitro validation.PTGS2 over-expressing cell strains were constructed,and the effect on cell proliferation was determined by CCK8 method.Different concen-trations of H2O2 were used to form gradient oxidative stress,and the changes in cell antioxidant capacity were detected.The regulatory mechanism was preliminarily verified by Western blot.Results The transcription and expression of PTGS2 were found to be significantly up-regulated in colon cancer patients(P<0.05),and the increased expression of PTGS2 was associated with an increased mortality risk(P<0.05).Data analysis and in vitro experiments showed that over-expression of PTGS2 may promote the proliferation of colon cancer cells by activating the mTOR pathway.The antioxidant effect of cells was regulated by up-regulating oxidative stress regulatory proteins SOD2 and NRF2.Conclusions PTGS2 is a potential risk factor for colon cancer and its over-expression promotes cell proliferation,enhances cell antioxidant effect and is associated with poor progno-sis of colon cancer patients.

Objective To examine the association of pre?pregnancy body mass and weight gain during pregnancy with macrosomia. Methods From January 2015 to December 2015, a total of 20 477 pregnant women were recruited by probabilistic proportional scale sampling with simple randomization in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces. Basic information of pregnant women, weight gain during pregnancy and weight of newborn were collected. A multiple logistic regression model was used to assess the association between the pre?pregnancy body mass and gestational weight gain indicators with macrosomia. Results 20 321 mother?infant were included in the final analysis. 20 321 pregnant women were (30.09 ± 4.10) years old and delivered at (39.20 ± 1.29) weeks, among which 12 341 (60.73%) cases were cesarean delivery. The birth weight of 20 321 infants were (3 292.26 ± 431.67) grams, and 970 (4.77%) were macrosomia. The multiple logistic regression model showed that after adjusting for the age of women, compared to the normal weight group in the pre?pregnancy, the overweight and obesity group elevated the risk of macrosomia, with OR (95%CI) about 1.99 (95%CI: 1.69-2.35) and 4.05 (95%CI: 3.05-5.39), respectively. After adjusting for the age, the pre?pregnancy BMI, delivery weeks, delivery mode and infant's gender, compared to the weight?gain appropriate group, higher weight gain rate in the mid?pregnancy and excessive total gestational weight gain elevated the risk of macrosomia, with OR (95%CI) about 1.99 (95%CI:1.66-2.39) and 1.80 (95%CI: 1.55-2.08), respectively. Conclusion The overweight before pregnancy, obesity before pregnancy, the rate of weight gain in the second trimester and the high total weight gain during pregnancy could increase the risk of macrosomia.
