Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of miR-155-5p targeting suppressor of cytokine signaling 1(SOCS1)in regulating the Janus kinase 2(JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcrip-tion 3(STAT3)signaling pathway in renal injury associated with lupus nephritis(LN).Methods Thirty female MRL-faslpr lupus model mice were randomly divided into five groups(n=6 per group):the model group,the antagomir NC group,the miR-155-5p antagomir group,the miR-155-5p antagomir+shRNA control group,and the miR-155-5p antagomir+SOCS1 shRNA group.The mice were treated with adeno-associated virus vectors carrying miR-155-5p antagomir,antagomir NC,SOCS1 shRNA,or shRNA control.Additionally,six age-matched C57BL/6 mice served as a control group and received an equivalent volume of saline.Serum blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and creatinine(Scr)levels,renal histopathological changes,and the expression levels of miR-155-5p,SOCS1,phosphorylated JAK2(p-JAK2),and phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)in renal tissues were evaluated.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group exhibited significantly elevated levels of BUN,Scr,miR-155-5p,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 proteins in the kidneys(P<0.01),while the expression level of SOCS1 was markedly reduced(P<0.01).Compared with both the model group and the antagomir NC group,the miR-155-5p antagomir group showed decreased levels of BUN,Scr,miR-155-5p,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 proteins(P<0.01),along with a significant increase in SOCS1 expression(P<0.01).Similarly,compared with the miR-155-5p antagomir group and the miR-155-5p antagomir+shRNA control group,the miR-155-5p antagomir+SOCS1 shRNA group demon-strated significantly higher levels of BUN,Scr,miR-155-5p,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 proteins(P<0.01),while SOCS1 expression was notably decreased(P<0.01).Renal pathology analysis revealed that,compared to the normal group,the model group exhibited glomerular atrophy,extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells in the renal tubulointerstitial region,and partial renal tubular necrosis.In contrast,the miR-155-5p antagomir group showed marked improvements in glomerular atrophy,tubular necrosis,and inflammatory cell infiltration compared with the model group and antagomir NC group.Furthermore,compared with the miR-155-5p antagomir group and the miR-155-5p antagomir+shRNA control group,the miR-155-5p antagomir+SOCS1 shRNA group exhibited more severe glomerular atrophy,tubular necrosis,and inflammatory cell infiltration.Conclusion MiR-155-5p exacerbates renal damage in MRL-faslpr lupus model mice by targeting SOCS1,potentially through the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the MRI features of renal oncocytoma(RO). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 26 patients by histologically confirmed with RO in Chinese PLA General Hospital from September 2006 to May 2017 and performed pre-operative MRI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.Lesions were divided into two groups based on the diameter:large group with large than 3 cm(16 cases,16 lesions)and small group with less than 3 cm(10 cases,11 lesions).Features of each lesion were analyzed, including location, pseudocapsules, lipids and other 11 indicators. Tumor imaging features were compared between two groups by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Of 27 RO lesions, 12 were located in the left kidney and 15 in the right kidney. Twenty five lesions appeared exophytic(92.6%,25/27),10 lesions showed exophytic angular interface(37.0%,10/27), 25 lesions showed pseudocapsule(92.6%,25/27),4 lesions appeared lipid(14.8%,4/27),2 lesions showed cystic degeneration or necrosis(7.4%,2/27),1 lesion showed hemorrhage(3.7%,1/27),13 lesions appeared fibrous scar(48.1%,13/27),19 lesions with moderate or intense enhancement in the corticomedullary phase (70.4%, 19/27), 9 lesions with wheel-spoke-like enhancement (33.3%, 9/27), and 2 lesions showed segmental enhancement inversion (7.4%, 2/27). Univariate logistic regression exhibited statistically significant correlation between exophytic angular interface with renal parenchyma,fibrous scar,moderate or intense enhancement in the corticomedullary phase,and wheel-spoke-like enhancement of the tumors both in small and large RO groups with OR value of 0.054, 9.898, 8.400 and 10.000, respectively. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, exophytic angular interface with renal parenchyma and intense enhancement in the corticomedullary phase were found to be high risk factors with OR value of 0.033 and 15.381,respectively.Conclusions The main manifestation of RO on MRI is that both kidneys can occur, with many exogenesis, pseudocapsules, but less lipids, cystic degeneration, necrosis, hemorrhage and segmental enhanced reversal;smaller lesions(diameter<3 cm)tend to conical interface,while larger lesions (diameter≥3 cm)may have fibrous scars,spoke-shaped enhancement,moderate and significantly enhanced cortical phase characteristics.

Objective To investigate the clinic-pathological characteristics and prognosis of 48 female cases with peritoneal pseudomyxoma(PMP).Methods The clinicopathologic features and follow-up data of 48 female patients with PMP diagnosed in the General Hospital of People's Liberation Army from Jan.1982 to Dec.2011 were retrospectively reviewed.The relationship between clinic-pathological characteristics and prognosis were analyzed using log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model.Results (1) Clinicopathologic features:the mean age of the 48 cases was 58.8 years (range from 24 to 79 years).Symptoms:abdominal distention and abdominal discomfort were the main symptoms.Imaging examinations showed nonspecific abdominal and pelvic lesions in most cases.Treatment:all the 48 patients underwentlaparotomy and cytoreductive surgery (CRS),in which 15 (31％) patients with completeness of the cancer resection (CCR)-1,24(50％) cases with CCR-2,and CCR-3 in 9(19％) cases.Six (12％) cases were treated by intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cisplatin,20 (42％) patients were treated with different options postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.Pathological types:the cases were histologically classified into 3 subcategories:disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM),peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA),and PMCA with intermediate or discordant features (PMCA-I/D),which were 22 (46％) cases,9 (19％) cases and 17 (35％) cases,respectively.Appendiceal tumors:44(92％) cases underwent appendectomy,in which 38 cases presented appendiceal tumors (including 20 cases of low-grade appendiceal mucinous adenoma and 18 cases of appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma),2 cases were diagnosed as appendicitis,4 cases with unknown pathologic diagnosis.And the other 4(8％) cases,who didn't undergo appendectomy at the first operation,presented peritoneal tumor recurrence and appendiceal mucinous tumors 1,11,32 and 85 months after surgery,respectively.Parenchymal organs involved:ovarian involving was happened in 34 (71％)patients including 15 cases with the right ovary involving,13 cases in both sides,and 6 cases involving the left side.The other parenchymal organs in 10(21％) cases.(2) Prognostic factors:11 patients died,31 survived and 6 cases were lost to follow-up.The mean survival time was 99 months(ranged from 1 to 312 months).The 3-year,5-year and 10-year survival rates were 73.3％,68.0％ and 46.6％,respectively.Univariate statistical analysis showed that age,pathological type and parenchymal involvement were significantly relationship with the survival time (all P ＜ 0.05).But the operation times,appendiceal tumor type,ovarian involvement,CCR,intraperitoneal HIPEC and post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy were not significantly correlate with survival time (all P ＞ 0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that age and pathologic type were independent prognostic factors (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions No specific clinical features presented in PMP.CRS with HIPEC should the recommended treatment.Both ovaries exploration and appendectomy should be carried out routinely in CRS.The 10-year overall survival of PMP is low.Age,pathological type and parenchymal organs involvement other than ovarian are correlated with the prognosis.And the pathological type and age are independent prognostic factors of PMP.

Objective:To explore gender difference of adolescent's sexology.Methods:Twenty-three studies about adolescent sexology from 1994 to 2005 were collected for meta analysis.Results:When facing first menstrual flow, more girls express fear than the counterpart situation of boys first facing spermatorrhea (effective value 0.49, 95% CI 0.45~0.53). Boys and girls had no difference as with school as the source of sex knowledge. Girls got sex knowledge more frequently from parents than boys, the later got more from media and books. Boys had more sex fantasy, stronger sex desire and actually more sex activities than girls (effective values were 4.47, 3.41, 1.59 relatively, with 95% CI were 4.06~5.13, 3.10~3.47, 1.37~1.86).Conclusion:There are obvious gender differences in adolescent sexology.
