[摘 要] 目的：探讨DNA甲基转移酶1（DNMT1）通过稳定zeste基因增强子同源物2（EZH2）促进结直肠癌（CRC）HCT8细胞增殖与迁移的机制。方法：利用生物信息学方法分析DNMT1在CRC组织中的表达水平。WB法检测DNMT1在CRC细胞HCT8、SW620和正常结肠上皮细胞NCM460中的表达。通过siRNA或慢病毒载体转染HCT8细胞，分为siNC组、siDNMT1组、Vector组、DNMT1-OE组、siTRAF6组、siEZH2组、siEZH2 + DNMT1-OE组。采用克隆形成实验、CCK-8法、Transwell实验和划痕愈合实验检测敲低或过表达DNMT1对HCT8细胞增殖与迁移的影响，WB和qPCR法检测EZH2蛋白和mRNA水平，免疫沉淀（IP）法检测EZH2泛素化水平，免疫荧光双染检测肿瘤坏死因子受体相关因子6（TRAF6）与EZH2的细胞内共定位情况，克隆形成和划痕愈合实验验证EZH2对DNMT1功能的逆转作用。收集2022—2025年间郑州大学附属洛阳中心医院手术切除的12例CRC患者的癌及癌旁组织标本，采用免疫组化法检测CRC组织中DNMT1、TRAF6和EZH2的表达水平。结果：DNMT1在CRC组织中表达显著高于癌旁组织（P < 0.01），且在CRC细胞中表达上调（P < 0.05）；DNMT1敲低显著抑制HCT8细胞增殖及迁移（均P < 0.01），过表达则相反（均P < 0.01）。DNMT1正向调控EZH2的蛋白水平（P < 0.01），而mRNA水平不变（P > 0.05）。MG132可恢复siDNMT1组的EZH2蛋白表达（P < 0.01），且siDNMT1组EZH2泛素化水平升高。DNMT1负向调控TRAF6的表达（P < 0.01），且TRAF6与EZH2在细胞质中共定位，IP证实两者直接结合。敲低TRAF6可减弱EZH2的泛素化水平，敲低EZH2可逆转DNMT1对HCT8细胞增殖、迁移的促进作用（均P < 0.01）。DNMT1和EZH2在CRC组织中呈高表达（P < 0.01），TRAF6在CRC组织中表达显著低于癌旁组织（P < 0.05）。结论：DNMT1通过抑制TRAF6稳定EZH2促进CRC细胞的增殖和迁移，DNMT1、TRAF6和EZH2可能是CRC治疗的潜在靶点。

Objective To analyze the relationship between the expression of ferroptosis markers in the tumor microenvironment(TME)and the prognosis of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods This prospective observational study included 100 HCC patients who received TACE treatment at Langfang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2019 to June 2021 as the study subjects.The levels of 8-isoprostaglandin F2α(8-iso-PGF2α),4-hydroxy-2-nonenal(4-HNE),8-hydroxy-2'deoxyguanosine(8-OH-dG)and hepcidin in plasma were evaluated by ELISA kit at baseline(1 day before TACE),1 day after TACE and 4～8 weeks.The changes of ferroptosis related markers during TACE treatment were compared.The difference between the level of 8-iso-PGF2α,4-HNE and the baseline 1 day after TACE treatment was recorded as △8-iso-PGF2α,△4-HNE.Results Compared with the baseline,the levels of 8-iso-PGF2α and 4-HNE increased significantly and the level of hepcidin decreased significantly one day after TACE treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(t=8.03,16.29,2.92,all P<0.05).Compared with 1 day after treatment,the levels of 8-iso-PGF2α,4-HNE decreased and the level of 8-OH-dG increased at 4～8 weeks after TACE treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(t=9.12,17.17,2.63,all P<0.05).Multivariate COX analysis showed that △8-iso-PGF2α,△4-HNE and 8-iso-PGF2α 1 day after TACE treatment were independent factors affecting the overall survival after TACE(Wald χ2=5.205,13.801,6.054,all P<0.05).The survival time of patients with △4-HNE>2.01 μg/ml was significantly longer than that of patients with △4-HNE≤2.01 μg/ml(Log-rank=5.718,P=0.017),and that of patients with△8-iso-PGF2α>1.75ng/ml was sig-nificantly longer than that of patients with△8-iso-PGF2≤1.75ng/ml(Log-rank=4.163,P=0.041).Conclusion The prognosis of HCC patients who are in a state of high ferroptosis(4-HNE and 8-iso-PGF2 increased)at 1 day after TACE treatment is better,which indicate that ferroptosis mediated HCC death induced by TACE treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effects of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1(FGFR1)on the resistance of colorectal cancer(CRC)cells to oxaliplatin(OXA).Methods:An OXA-resistant cell line(HCT8/OXA)was established by treating HCT8 CRC cells with low-dose OXA for a long period in vitro.The CCK-8 assay was used to compare the viability of the HCT8 and HCT8/OXA cells after OXA treatment and to exam-ine their resistance to the anticancer drug.Second-generation high-throughput sequencing technology was used to identify differentially ex-pressed genes between the parental and drug-resistant cells.The expression of FGFR1 in the HCT8 and HCT8/OXA cells was detected by Western blot assay.Colony formation and flow cytometric assays were used to determine cell proliferation and apoptosis,respectively.The expression of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway-related proteins was detected using Western blot assay.Results:Compared with the levels in the HCT8 cells,the FGFR1 levels were significantly increased in the HCT8/OXA cells(P<0.01).FGFR1 overexpression in the HCT8 cells increased their drug resistance(P<0.01)and proliferation(NC+OXA:236.67±6.24;FGFR1+OXA:568.33±6.24)and decreased their apoptotic rate after OXA treatment(NC+OXA:27.83±0.85;FGFR1+OXA:17.47±1.25).FGFR1 knockdown in the HCT8/OXA cells reduced their drug resistance(P<0.01)and proliferative ability(Si-NC+OXA:411±8.29;Si-FGFR1+OXA:233.33±20.55)and increased their apoptotic rate(Si-NC+OXA:2.85±0.17;Si-FGFR1+OXA:14.42±0.77).FGFR1 inhibited the activity of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and cell apoptosis and improved the proliferation and drug resistance of the CRC cells.By contrast,an activator of the PI3K/AKT pathway blocked the effects of FGFR1 on this sig-naling pathway and drug resistance in the CRC cells.Conclusions:FGFR1 can inhibit the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and thereby reduce the sensitivity of CRC cells to OXA.

Objective:To compare the ecchymosis of affected limb in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis using low molecular weight heparin sodium and enoxaparin sodium after total knee arthroplasty.Methods:A total of 160 patients (31 males and 129 females) who underwent unilateral knee replacement in Department of Orthopedics of Chengdu Second People's Hospital from Oct. 2020 to Dec. 2023 were included. According to the random number method, all patients were evenly divided into the low molecular weight heparin sodium group (16 males and 64 females) and the enoxaparin sodium group (15 males and 65 females). All patients were treated with low molecular weight heparin sodium or enoxaparin sodium to prevent deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs after surgery. The ecchymosis area on the affected limb was observed 7 days after surgery, and the incidence and difference in ecchymosis area between the two groups of patients were statistically analyzed. Simultaneously evaluate whether there are differences in hemoglobin, platelet, and coagulation related indicators between the two groups of patients before and after surgery.Results:There were no significant differences in hemoglobin, platelet, and coagulation parameters between the low molecular weight heparin sodium group and the enoxaparin sodium group before and after surgery ( t=1.13, -0.27, -0.47, 0.27, 0.34, -0.27, -0.89, -0.46, P=0.27, 0.34, 0.64, 0.83, 0.74, 0.97, 0.24, 0.65). The incidence of ecchymosis in patients with low molecular weight heparin sodium group and enoxaparin sodium group was 61.25% and 67.50%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference in the incidence of ecchymosis between the two groups ( P=0.41). The average size of ecchymosis in the two groups of patients was (40.40 ± 60.07) cm 2 and (37.41 ± 43.21) cm 2, respectively. And there was no statistically significant difference in ecchymosis area ( P=0.61) . Conclusion:Both patients had limbs’ecchymosis in the process of preventing deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs after total knee replacement. This indicates that the two anticoagulants had a certain effect on postoperative skin ecchymosis of total knee. And the incidence rate and area of ecchymosis of affected limbs were similar in the two groups.

Objective To establish a human luminal breast cancer stem cell(BCSC)model and investigate the inhibitory effects of astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ)on BCSC growth.Methods MCF-7 breast cancer cells were cultured in stem cell-specific medium to induce BCSC formation.The BCSCs were then divided into a blank control group and an AS-Ⅳ treatment group,both groups were given PBS or AS-Ⅳ treatment.Morphological changes were observed after intervention.The therapeutic efficacy of AS-Ⅳ was evaluated using 3D spheroid formation and cell viability assays.Transcriptomic profiling and gene expression analysis were performed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Results Compared with the MCF7 breast cancer cells,MCF7 breast cancer stem cell mammospheres exhibited accelerated growth(P＜0.01)and significantly increased expression of the stemness marker ALDH1A1(P＜0.01).Further comparison with the blank control group revealed that astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ)treatment significantly inhibited MCF7 breast cancer stem cell proliferation(P＜0.001)and slowed mammosphere growth(P＜0.01).Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that differentially expressed genes(DEGs)induced by stem cell modeling and AS-Ⅳ intervention were enriched in the cellular senescence signaling pathway.AS-Ⅳ intervention substantially increased the number of SA-β-gal-positive cells(P＜0.01).RT-PCR analysis confirmed that AS-Ⅳsignificantly upregulated mRNA expression of IL-1α(P＜0.01),P21(P＜0.001),and P53(P＜0.05)in MCF7 breast cancer stem cells.Conclusion Astragaloside Ⅳ suppresses the growth of human luminal breast cancer stem cells by inducing cellular senescence.

Objective To investigate the population composition,seasonal dynamics,and infestation levels of cockroaches in Lanzhou,China,and to provide information for the scientific development of cockroach control strategies.Methods Monitoring was conducted at three locations using the sticky trap method.Habitats included farm product markets,catering establishments,hotels,hospitals,and residential areas.Results From 2016 to 2023,the average cockroach density was 0.77 insects per board,with an average infestation rate of 10.84%.Blattella germanica was the dominant species.Seasonal density of cockroaches showed an approximately unimodal distribution,peaking in September.The highest average density and infestation rates were observed in farm product markets.Conclusions Cockroach density and infestation levels in Lanzhou remained relatively low.A comprehensive prevention and control strategy focusing on environmental management in key areas should be implemented according to the seasonal fluctuations.

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction(CIPO)is a rare intestinal motility disorder character-ized by nonspecific clinical manifestations that mimic mechanical intestinal obstruction but lack corroborative evidence of mechanical obstruction,leading to frequent underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis in clinical practice.Based on etiology,CIPO is classified into primary and secondary subtypes,with diagnosis relying on compre-hensive evaluation integrating clinical presentation,imaging findings,gastrointestinal motility testing,and his-topathological analysis.Owing to its complex pathogenesis and significant interindividual variability,CIPO cur-rently lacks standardized diagnostic criteria and effective therapeutic strategies.Its management typically requires multidisciplinary collaboration,emphasizing patient education alongside integrated interventions including nutritional support,pharmacotherapy,endoscopic procedures,and surgeries when indicated.Recent advancements in gastrointestinal motility assessment and molecular biology techniques have facilitated improve-ments in CIPO diagnosis and treatment.This review summarizes current clinical advances in CIPO management to provide practical references for clinicians.
