Recently, small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) have transcended the genomic "noise" to emerge as pivotal molecular markers due to their essential roles in tumor progression. Substantial evidence indicates a strong association between snoRNAs and critical clinical features such as tumor pathology and drug resistance. Historically, snoRNA research has concentrated on two classical mechanisms: 2'-O-ribose methylation and pseudouridylation. This review specifically summarizes the novel regulatory mechanisms and functional patterns of snoRNAs in tumors, encompassing transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational regulation. We further discuss the synergistic effect between snoRNA host genes (SNHGs) and snoRNAs in tumor progression. More importantly, snoRNAs extensively contribute to the development of tumor cell resistance as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Accordingly, we provide a comprehensive review of the clinical diagnosis and treatment associated with snoRNAs and explore their significant potential as novel drug targets.

Objective To determine the effect of knocking down zebrafish faf1 gene by CRISPR/Cas9 editing technique.Methods gRNA was designed and prepared for the faf1 gene of zebrafish,and gRNA was mixed with Cas9 mRNA by microinjection into zebrafish single cell embryos.The mutant F0 generation zebrafish was screened out by enzyme digestion and gene sequencing.The mutant F0 was genetically outcrossed with the wild-type zebrafish to get the F1 heterozygous zebrafish,and the genotype of zebrafish was detected by microscopic observation.Results The faf1 gRNA and Cas9 mRNA were successfully prepared.The gRNA (gRNA6) located in the exon 6 of faf1 could shift the faf1 gene into frameshift mutations.The mutation type MU1 was screened out and the somatic cytochrome deposition delay was observed in this heterozygous zebrafish.At 4 d post fertilization (dpf),there were sarcomeric dysplasia and head shrinkage,increased hyoid angle and other craniofacial cartilage deformities.And the zebrafish died at 8 ～9 dpf.Conclusion CRISPR/Cas9 knocking out thefaf1 gene produces a new phenotype for zebrafish,with delayed pigment deposition and nodule-like change in tail muscle section.

Objective To investigate the teaching effect of the PCMC-type (problem-originated clinical medical curriculum) pathology experiment course and clinical pathological conference (CPC) by using microscope digital system.Methods 384 undergraduates of second grade in clinical medicine major and imaging diagnosis major were chosen for the teaching reform project,all of whom were divided into experimental group (192) and control group (192),randomly,and they were taught by PCMC pathological experiment teaching and the traditional pathological experiment teaching separately.After the curriculum,statistic analysis of test score was used to analyze the teaching effect.SPSS 13.0 software diagram method was used to perform Levene variance analysis and t test to the achievement of two groups of students and the students' ability of self evaluation was investigated through questionnaire.Results The average score of the students in the experimental group (86.16 ± 3.28) in the theory exam was significantly higher than that of control group (75.63 ± 2.24) (P=0.000).And the average score of the students in the experimental group in experiment (27.10 ± 0.61) was significantly higher than that in control group (19.87 ± 0.25) (P=0.000).The questionnaire showed that compared with control group,the comprehensive ability of the students in the experimental group was obviously enhanced.Conclusion The PCMC pathology teaching is beneficial to improving the students' ability of linking theory with practice and enhancing their ability to analyze and solve problems,and obviously stimulate their interest in learning.It is worth promoting.

Objective To study the changes of parameters of platelet (Pt), mean platelet volume( MPV ), platelet constrict volume ( PCT ), and platelet distribution width (PDW) in child idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) before and after anti-virus treatment. Methods Pt,MPV,PCT and PDW were determined in 110 cases with child ITP, including slight group ( 16 cases), medium group(38 cases ), serious group (30 cases) and more serious group (26 cases) before and after treatment with anti-virus as well as in 110 normal controls with XT-1800i auto blood cell analysis instrument. Results There were significant differences on MPV, PDW and PCT between the patients of slight group and medium group, and so on medium group and serious group, serious group and more serious group (P<0.01 ).There was significant difference on PCT between the patients of slight group and more serious group (P<0.01 ). Before treatment, in the patients the MPV, PDW were significantly higher and the Pt, PCT were significantly lower than those in the controls and after treatment (P<0.01 ). After treatment,the levels of Pt and PCT were lower in the patients than those in the controls (P<0.05), but , MPV, PDW were no difference. Conclusion Dynamic changes of parameter of platelet could reflect the progress of ITP and could guide clinical treatment.

Objective To study the clinical significance of vires infection and serum interleukin-2 (IL-2)Ievels in recurrent childhood idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods The cytomegalovirus(CMV),epstein-Barrvirus(EBV)-adenovirus(ADV),herpesvirus(HSV)antibodies ISM and IL-2 levels were determined in the serum of 4 childhood with recurrent childhood ITP as well as in 40 normal controls with ELISA and RIA.Re-sults The CMV-lgM positive cases were 18,EBV-IgM were 14-ADV-IgM were 5,HSV-lgM were 3.In the controls,those were 3,2,1,and 0 respectively(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The serum IL-2(0.35±0.12)μg/L levels were sig-nificantly lower than those in the controls[(0.61±0.17)μ/L,P<0.05].Conclusion DNA virus antibodies and IL-2 levels can reflect virus infection and immune condition of diseases in recurrent childhood ITP.It is impor-rant to comprehend the mechanism of recurrent childhood ITP for guiding clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the changes in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) of neonatal rat induced by aldosterone. Method CFs were isolated by trypsin digestion method. Proliferation of CF was assessed by MTT colorimetric assay. Nitric acid reductase method and spectrophotometry were used to determine the NO contents and NOS activity, respectively, at different time after CFs being treated with aldosterone. Result Aldosterone (1?10 -11 -1?10 -7 mol/L) could increase CFs proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. NO contents, NOS activity and iNOS mRNA were decreased in a dose-dependent manner after being treated with aldosterone in different concentrations (P
