Resistance to poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) presents a considerable obstacle in the treatment of ovarian cancer. F-box and tryptophan-aspartic (WD) repeat domain containing 11 (FBXW11) modulates the ubiquitination of growth-and invasion-related factors in lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and osteosarcoma. The function of FBXW11 in PARPi therapy is still ambiguous. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) showed that FBXW11 expression was raised in ovarian cancer cells that had been treated with PARPi. FBXW11 was abnormally expressed at low levels in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) tissues, and low levels of FBXW11 were associated with shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in HGSOC patients. Overexpressing FBXW11 made ovarian cancer more sensitive to PARPi, while knocking down FBXW11 made it less sensitive. The four-dimensional (4D) label-free quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that FBXW11 targeted S100 calcium binding protein A11 (S100A11) and promoted its degradation through ubiquitination. The increased degradation of S100A11 led to less efficient DNA damage repair, which in turn contributed to increased PARPi-induced DNA damage. The role of FBXW11 in promoting PARPi sensitivity was also confirmed in xenograft mouse models. In summary, our study confirms that FBXW11 promotes the susceptibility of ovarian cancer cells to PARPi via affecting S100A11-mediated DNA damage repair.

Objective To investigate the influences of psychological rehabilitation nursing on immune function in post stroke depression patients.Methods A total of 80 elderly patients with post stroke depression were recruited from the inpatients in geriatric neurology department at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital.All patients were divided into two groups:the control group received only conventional and auxiliary exercise therapy for 3 months; rehabilitation group received psychological rehabilitation nursing added to the above therapy for 3 months.Barthel indexes,Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) scores and immune function were detected at recruit and three months after treatment.Results There were no statistically significant differences in clinical data between the rehabilitation group and control group (all P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in Barthel indexes,Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) scores and immune function between rehabilitation group and control group before treatment (all P> 0.05).Compared with control group,the rehabilitation group showed that the Barthel Indexes were increased (P=0.000),Hamilton Depression Sale (HAMD) scores were decreased (P=0.000),the levels of T lymphocyte subpopulation (P< 0.05) and immunoglobulin (P< 0.01) were increased after three months treatment.Conclusions The combination treatment of psychological rehabilitation nursing,auxiliary exercise and drug are helpful to recover immune function and improve the quality of life in patients with post stroke depression.

Objective To determine the phylogenetic position of Schistosoma sinensium in the genus Schistosoma using mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase 1 (CO1) and NADH dehydrogenase 1(ND1) as molecular markers. Methods The genomic DNA of adult worms were extracted by the GNT\|K method. The target regions were amplified by PCR using specific primers. The PCR products were purified before ligation into the plasmid Zero\|Blunt. Recombinant plasmids were amplified in E.coli, extracted and purified using routine methods and then sequenced using M13 primers (F/R) on a Licor long\|read auto\|sequencer. Sequences of related schistosomes were retrieved from GenBank and aligned with our data in the sequence editor ESEE. Gene trees were constructed in PHYLIP and MEGA using both maximum parsimony and neighbor\|joining methods. For parsimony analysis, all characters were treated as unordered and with equal weights. At least \{3 000\} cycles of bootstrapping were carried out. For analysis in MEGA, all gap columns were deleted. The third position of codon was included. Results The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of CO1 and ND1 of S.sinensium were obtained. Conclusion The phylogenetic trees from these molecular data suggested that S.sinensium belongs to the Asian schistosome group, and the results coincided with the previous rDNA (ITS2 & LSU) analysis results.

Objective To classify the taxonomic status of O.cheni in relation to O.turkestanicum var. tuberculata from the mainland of China by comparing their nucleotide sequences of nuclear ribosomal partial large subunit gene (LSU). Methods The genomic DNA of adult worms were extracted by the GNT-K method. The target gene was amplified by PCR using specific primers. The PCR products were purified before ligation into the plasmid PCR-blunt (Invitrogen). Recombinant plasmids were amplified in E.coli , extracted and purified using routine methods and then sequenced using M13 primers (F/R) on a Licor long-read auto-sequencer. Sequences of O. turkestanicum was retrieved from GenBank and aligned with our data in BioEdit. Results The nucleotide sequences of LSU between O.turkestanicum var. tuberculata and O.cheni was 100% identical, and 99.99% identical between O.turkestanicum var. tuberculata and O.turkestanicum . Conclusion This study demonstrated high similarity in LSU nucleotide sequences, and the results do not support O.cheni as an independent species. O.cheni may be a synonym of O.turkestanicum var. tuberculata , and O.turkestanicum var. tuberculata is probably also a synonym of O.turkestanicum .

Objective To study the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase 1(CO1) gene of Oncomelania snails from Miao River area in Hubei Province.Methods Oncomelania snails were collected from Miao River area, including upstream and downstream. Genomic DNA was extracted from the tissue of the snail. PCR was used to amplify a fragment of the CO1 gene. Sequences of the CO1 fragment were determined directly from the purified PCR products by an automated sequencer. Sequences for each individual were assembled and edited using ESEE 3 0 s. A distance matrix was computed using program DNADIST of PHYLIP(3 57). Unrooted maximum likelihood trees were calculated from program FITCH.Results The amplified CO1 gene of the snail was a fragment of 638 bp in length. Sequence analysis showed that the accumulated variable sites were significant different between upstream and downstream populations, being 29 and 46, respectively. From the number of variable sites in the gene,snails in this area were roughly separated into two groups. Each of them was a mixture of both upstream and downstream snails.Same haplotypes were confirmed to be present among the collected sites along the river. From the distance matrix of sequence divergence, the population upstream vs downstream differed by 0 0221?0 0105.Conclusion There were more variation in downstream population than that in upstream.Gene flow was identified in these populations. The phylogenetic trees suggest the existence of two groups,but all of them belong to O h hupensis .
