Objective To explore the effect of Linc00460 on the aerobic glycolysis of breast cancer (BC) cells through sponge adsorption of miR-320a. Methods The qRT-PCR method was used to detect Linc00460 and miR-320a expression levels in normal breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A and five BC cell lines. The effect of interfering Linc00460 on miR-320a expression was detected by qRT-PCR. The double luciferase reporter gene experiment was used to analyze the targeting relationship between miR-320a and Linc00460. In addition, the si-Linc00460 and miR-320a inhibitor were co-transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells, and the expression level of miR-320a in the cells was detected by qRT-PCR; cell proliferation ability was measured by the MTT method; glucose uptake rate was detected by 2-NBDG method; the content of lactic acid in the cell supernatant was detected by colorimetric method; the key enzymes of glycolysis was detected by the enzyme activity kit; and the expression levels of the key proteins in the glycolysis pathway were detected by Western blot. Results Linc00460 was highly expressed in five BC cell lines, while miR-320a was lowly expressed as compared with MCF-10A cells. The expression of miR-320a in MDA-MB-231 cells significantly increased after interfering with Linc00460. The double luciferase reporter gene experiment confirmed that miR-320a and Linc00460 could target binding. Interfering with the expression of Linc00460 could inhibit MDA-MB-231 cells proliferation (all P=0.000), reduce the rate of cellular glucose uptake and the content of lactic acid in the cell supernatant (all P=0.000), inhibit the activities of PFK, PK, and LDH enzymes (all P=0.000), and downregulate the protein expression levels of PFKM, GLUT1, and LDHA (all P=0.000). Meanwhile, inhibition of miR-320a could reverse the inhibitory effect of si-Linc00460 on the proliferation and glycolysis of MDA-MB-231 cells (all P=0.000 or 0.001). Conclusion Linc00460 might adsorb miR-320a, consequently leading to upregulation of PFKM expression, thereby promoting aerobic glycolysis in BC cells.

Objective:To provide a promising and optimal laboratory susceptibility-testing method for the clinical usage of antibiotic (polymyxin), four susceptibility-testing methods were performed and the broth microdilution (BMD) was chosen as the gold standard.Methods:A total number of eighty-eight nonduplicate clinical Enterobacteriaceae specimes were collected from January to December of 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University. Among the clinical specimens, of which six strains were positive for mcr-1. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of polymyxin of the clinical specimens were examined by the following methods: (1) broth microdilution, (2) colistin broth disk elution, (3) Vitek-2?, (4)BD PhoenixTM,(5)commercial broth microdilution. With BMD as reference, essential agreement (EA), categorical agreement(CA), very major error(VME) and major error (ME) of polymyxins for different methods were analyzed. The Kappa-consistency testing, paired Chi-square testing and the Spearman-rank correlation testing were used to analyze the consistency between the four antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods and the gold standard.Results:Taking broth microdilution as reference, the EA of colistin broth disk elution, Vitek-2?, BD PhoenixTM, commercial broth microdilution were 94.32% (83/88), 92.05% (81/88), 90.90% (80/88), and 96.59%(85/88), respectively. The CA of all the four methods were 100% (88/88). No VME and ME were recorded for four methods. Moreover, the consistency between four susceptibility testing methods and the gold standard is acceptable (Kappa values=1, P<0.001, McNemar test P=1 and r>0.5, P<0.05). Conclusions:In the present work, four susceptibility testing methods all met the standards recommended jointly by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, of which the performance of the commercial broth microdilution and CBDE fared relatively well. Thus, these four methods could be routinely used in clinical microbiology laboratory of our hospital for colistin and polymyxin B susceptibility testing.

Objective To investigate the effect of cyclic tensile stress (CTS) on the metabolism inand apoptosis of rat chondrocytes.Methods Primary rat chondrocytes were cultured on a Bioflex plate for one day and then stretched cyclically for 24 hours at a frequency of 0.5 Hz using a Flexcell-5000T apparatus.The cells were divided into 5 groups according to their stretching ratio:0％ (the control group),2％,6％,10％ and 14％.After the stretching,Col Ⅱ,Aggrecan,MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5 mRNA were measured using qPCRs,and the NO and PGE2 levels were measured using ELISA kits.Moreover,TUNEL staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI were used to analyze the apoptosis of chondrocytes.Results Compared with the control group,the average levels of Col Ⅱ and Aggrecan mRNAdecreasedin 10％ and 14％ groups [(0.738±0.11) and (0.58±0.13),(0.75±0.11) and (0.55±0.09)].In those groups,the MMP-13 [(2.47±0.47) and (2.88±0.36)] and ADAMTS-5 mRNA level [(2.39±0.33) and (2.75±0.49)],the NO [(6.96±0.96) and (8.28±0.82)] and PGE2 level [(6.83±0.66) and (7.15±0.71)] had increased significantly.In the 6％ group the average levels of Col Ⅱ(1.76±0.30) and Aggrecan mRNA (1.93±0.14)of 6％ group were significantly higher than the control group,but the NO level of the former (3.07±0.20) was significantly lower than the control group (3.89 ± 0.33).The apoptosis rate of chondrocytesin 2％ and 6％ groups were (0.065±0.013) and (0.063 ± 0.147),without significant differences to that of the control group (0.045 ± 0.008).However,compared with the control group,apoptosis in the 10％ and 14％ groups [(0.135 ±0.026) and (0.184±0.020)] increased significantly.Conclusion The effect of cyclic tensile stress on chondrocyte metabolism and apoptosis was magnitude-dependent.Ten percent and 14％ CTS can increase the catabolism and apoptosis of chondrocytes.Ten percent and 14％ strain can increase the catabolism and apoptosis of chondrocytes.Cyclic 6％ strain can increase the anabolism of chondrocytes,but 2％ strain has no impact on metabolism or apoptosis.

Background:Ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer(UcCRC)is the most serious complication of ulcerative colitis(UC). 5-Aminosalicylic acid(5-ASA)could reduce the risk of UC progressing to UcCRC. Aims:To investigate the effect of 5-ASA on cell proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle in human colon cancer cell line HT-29 for verifying the inhibitory effect of 5-ASA on UcCRC. Methods:HT-29 cells were treated with different concentrations(0,10,20,30, 40 mmol/ L)of 5-ASA. Cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay. Cell apoptosis was determined by TUNEL method. Cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. Expressions of cell mitotic regulators AuroraB and BubR1 were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results:Proliferation inhibition rates and apoptosis rates of HT-29 cells in 5-ASA 10,20,30,40 mmol/ L groups were increased with increase in concentration of 5-ASA(P ﹤ 0. 05). Proportions of cells in phase G0 / G1 in 5-ASA 30,40 mmol/ L groups were significantly lower than those in 5-ASA 0,10,20 mmol/ L groups (P ﹤ 0. 05);proportions of cells in phase S in 5-ASA 0,10,20,30 mmol/ L groups were significantly lower than that in 5-ASA 40 mmol/ L group(P ﹤ 0. 05);while proportions of cells in phase G2 / M in 5-ASA 30,40 mmol/ L groups were significantly higher than those in 5-ASA 0,10,20 mmol/ L groups(P ﹤ 0. 05). Mean optical density(MOD)values of AuroraB and BubR1 were decreased with increase in concentration of 5-ASA(P ﹤ 0. 05). Concentration of 5-ASA was positively correlated with proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate of HT-29 cells(P ﹤ 0. 05),but was negatively correlated with MOD values of AuroraB and BubR1( P ﹤ 0. 05). MOD values of AuroraB and BubR1 were negatively correlated with proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate of HT-29 cells as well as proportion of cells in phase G2/ M (P ﹤0. 05),but were positively correlated with proportion of cells in phase G0/ G1(P ﹤0. 05). MOD value of AuroraB was positively correlated with MOD value of BubR1(P ﹤ 0. 05). Conclusions:5-ASA can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in HT-29 cells,the mechanism may be related to inhibiting expressions of AuroraB and BubR1 and the resulted effect on cell cycle.

Objective To explore the shape change characteristics of Oncomelania hupensis snail shell after the snails being passively migrated into Shandong intake area of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Methods The snails raised on the Dushan island in Weishan Lake region were captured,and 115 the first filial generation snails and 107 the second filial generation ones were selected. The length and width of shells and apertures,and the labial ridge thickness of those snails were measured,the longitudinal rib number of snail spiral was counted,and 107 parental snails were chosen as controls. Results The labial ridge thickness of the filial generation snail was significantly reduced with the increase of algebras,and the labial ridge thickness among the 3 generations had a significant difference(P<0.01). Both the length of snail shell and the width of snail apertures were de-creased,while the width of snail shell,the length of snail apertures,the multiplication product of snail aperture’s length and width and the longitudinal rib number of snail spiral were all increased. Conclusion The body size of Oncomelania snails in Weishan Lake region becomes smaller,and their shells become thinner,which indicates that the environment of the lake region is not suitable for snail breeding,and the snails have natural decay tendency with the extension of time.

Objective To explore the relationship between therapeutic dosage of ultrasound ablation in treatment of uterine fibroids and imaging characteristics of bloody supply of uterine fibroids by color Doppler ultrasound imaging. Methods One hundred and forty-two patients with 168 fibroids were treated by ultrasound ablation. Before treatment, bloody supply of fibroids were classified into grade 0 -4 by ultrasonography. Three patients lost follow-up with contrast MRI exam within 1 month after treatment, so 165 fibroids were enrolled in this study. Bloody supplies were 9 fibroids in grade 0, 34 fibroids in grade 1, 35 fibroids in grade 2, 55 fibroids in grade 3 and 32 fibroids in grade 4. After 1 month treatment, the treated area without blood supply and ratio of ablation were measured by contrast MRI to evaluate the efficacy of thermal ablation and compare status of blood supple based different therapeutic dosage. According to International Reditherapy for Society ( SIR ) standard, adverse effect and score of pain were evaluated. Results ( 1) Ratio of ablation based; ratios of ablation were 79% in grade 0, 89% in grade 1, 92% in grade 2, 86% in grade 3, 71% in grade 4. It reached statistical difference when blood supply of grade 0 compared with those of grade 2 and 3 (P ＜ 0. 05 ) and blood supply of grade 4 compared with those of grade 1, 2, 3 ( P ＜ 0. 05). (2) Factor of energy efficiency:factor of energy efficiency were 13.19 J/mm3 in degree 0, 9. 54 J/mm3 in degree 1, 12. 91 J/mm3 in degree 2, 17. 83 J/mm3 in degree 3 and 28. 10 J/mm in degree 4. Factor of energy of ablation in degree 4 was significantly higher than those in degree 1, 2 and 3 blood supply (P ＜ 0. 05). It exhibit the positive relationship between blood supply and factor of energy of ablation ( r = 0. 354 ,P ＜ 0. 01). ( 3 ) Score of pain and adverse effect: nearly 85% ( 120/142 ) patients could tolerate this treatment very well. Those scores of pain were in range of 0 to 4. All patients did not extend their hospitalization and C to F of SIR standard was not recorded. Conclusion blood supply of myoma measured by ultrasound could predict dosage of ultrasound ablation, it could help select indicated well patients.
