Objective To construct the RNA interference eukaryotic expression vector targeting human centromere protein-I (CENP-I) and to observe its effect on the growth of human embryo kidney 293 cells (HEK 293). Methods The expression vectors of pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-1. pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-2 and pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-3 were constructed by gene recombination and then were transfected into the HEK293 cells by liposome. The expressions of CENP-I at the protein and mRNA levels were detected by Western blotting and fluorescence quality PCR (FQ-PCR). The effective vector and the best transfection time were selected. The growth and the cell cycle of the transfected cells were assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometry. Giemsa was used to stain the transfected cells to calculate the mitotic index. Results Sequence-specific siRNAs targeting CENP-I significantly down-regulated the expression of CENP-I in HEK293 cells. The recombinant plasmid of pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-3 was the effective vector. After transfecting for 72 h the best inhibited efficiency was achieved. In CENP-I-siRNA transfected cells,the rate of cell growth was decreased markedly. Cells at G 2/M phase and the mitotic index were increased conspicuous compared with the cells transfected with the blank vector or untransfected. Conclusion Down-regulation of CENP-I in HEK293 cells by sequence specific siRNA delays the cell growth and postpones the cell division.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of microRNA(miR)-451a,miR-3613-5p and miR-125b-5p in endometriosis(EMT).Methods A tatol of 35 patients with EMT in the Department of Gynecology,the Affiliated People's Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the case group from December 2021 to February 2023,30 healthy women of childbearing age were selected as the control group over the same period.The expression levels of miR-451a,miR-3613-5p and miR-125b-5p in the plasma of two groups were measured using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction,the diagnostic value of these miRNAs in EMT was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results ①The expression levels of miR-451a,miR-3613-5p and miR-125b-5p in case group were higher than those in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).②In case group,there was no significant difference in miRNA expression levels between mild-moderate patients(stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ)and severe patients(stage Ⅳ)(P>0.05).The expression levels of carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125)in plasma was significantly different(P<0.05).③The diagnostic efficacy of miRNA for EMT was evaluated through ROC analysis,with a sensitivity of 85.7%and specificity of 40.0%for miR-451a,a sensitivity of 60.0%and specificity of 90.0%for miR-3613-5p,and a sensitivity of 60.0%and specificity of 76.7%for miR-125b-5p.Combined with a sensitivity of 48.6%and specificity of 96.7%.Conclusion Compared to healthy women,the expression levels of miR-451a,miR-3613-5p and miR-125b-5p in plasma of EMT are increased,which are not affected by clinical stage,and are expected to be candidate markers for the non-invasive diagnosis of EMT,and are not affected by clinical staging,making them promising candidate biomarkers for non-invasive diagnosis of EMT.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and endoscopic detection rate of proximal serrated polyps and to screen the risk factors. Methods The data of 9010 colonoscopies performed by 22 endoscopists between September 2016 and September 2017 were reviewed. The adenoma detection rate (ADR) and proximal serrated polyp detection rate (PSDR) were calculated, and the correlation between ADR and PSDR was estimated by Pearson correlation coefficients. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze PSDR among endoscopists. Results For all subjects, the mean ADR was 30. 07% ( ranged from 20. 00% to 40. 78%) and mean PSDR was 4. 70% ( ranged from 1. 52% to 9. 28%) . PSDR of males was 1. 38 times of that of females ( OR=1. 38, 95%CI:1. 13-1. 69, P<0. 01) . For 3560 cases ( 39. 51%) of 50 years and older subjects, the mean ADR was 45. 01% ( 28. 99%-57. 78%) and mean PSDR was 6. 08%(2. 07%-10. 56%). PSDR was moderately correlated with ADR (r=0. 48, P=0. 02). PSDR of males was 1. 36 times of that of females (OR=1. 36, 95%CI: 1. 04-1. 80, P=0. 03). Endoscopist was a significant risk factor for detection of proximal serrated polyps ( P<0. 01) . Compared with endoscopist with the highest PSDR, odds ratio of other endoscopists ranged from 0. 16 (95%CI:0. 06-0. 40, P<0. 01) to 0. 83 (95%CI:0. 53-1. 32, P=0. 44) . Conclusion Proximal serrated polyps are more common in males, who are over 50 years old. The PSDR is highly variable and dependent on endoscopists. It is possible that a certain proportion of proximal serrated polyps are missed during colonoscopy.

BACKGROUND:Traditional scoliosis orthosis has some disadvantages,such as complex manufacturing process,long processing cycle,poor fit and so on.Three-dimensional printed scoliosis orthosis has the advantages of high manufacturing precision and personalization. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of three-dimensional printed scoliosis orthosis for scoliosis based on multi-criteria decision model. METHODS:Clinical data of 72 patients with scoliosis admitted to Chen Xinghai Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2019 to October 2022 were retrospectively collected and divided into two groups according to the treatment of orthosis.Study group(n=23)received three-dimensional printed scoliosis orthosis.Traditional group(n=49)received the traditional polypropylene spine brace treatment.The clinical efficacy and complications were compared between the two groups.A multi-criteria decision model for the treatment of scoliosis with three-dimensional printed scoliosis orthosis was established,and the stability of the benefit value,risk value and decision model of the two groups were evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the traditional group,there were significant differences in the top vertebral offset distance,Cobb angle,top vertebral rotation,Functional Movement Screen score,visual analog scale score and total effective rate in the study group at 6 months after surgery(P<0.05).(2)Among the benefit indexes,Cobb angle had the greatest impact on the condition of patients,while the risk indexes had the greatest impact on dyspnea.(3)The benefit values of the study group and the traditional group for scoliosis were 79 and 64,and the risk values were 74 and 57,respectively.The combined benefit and risk values found that the benefit-risk value of the study group was 16 higher than that of the traditional group.(4)In the range of 0-100%relative risk weight,the benefit-risk value of the study group was always higher than that of the traditional group,which proved that the multi-criteria decision-making model had good stability.(5)It is indicated that three-dimensional printed scoliosis orthosis can better restore the physiological curvature of scoliosis and improve the efficiency of treatment.
