Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of tuberculosis in Haikou from 2016 to 2020, and to provide theoretical support for the implementation of TB prevention and control measures in this region . Methods Collect data of active tuberculosis patients registered and managed in Haikou for 2016-2020 years, analyze the registration rate of tuberculosis in Haikou in 5 years. Comparison of tuberculosis registration rates among different gender, age groups, nationalities and occupation. Results In 2016-2020 years, 3 256 cases of tuberculosis were registered in Haikou. The average annual TB registration rate was 27.09/100 000, showing a gradual decrease. The incidence rate was the highest in 2016 (34.99/100 000) and the lowest in 2020 (17.99/100 000). The registration rate of tuberculosis in men was significantly higher than that of women (P<0.05). Compared with the registration rate of tuberculosis in different age groups, the incidence rate of the 0-14 year old group was the lowest, and the registration rate of people aged 60 or above was the highest, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). From 2016 to 2020, the highest tuberculosis registration rate among different ethnic groups was Han nationality (92.63%), followed by Li nationality (3.53%), Miao nationality (2.09%), Hui nationality (1.14%) and others (0.61%).The three highest occupation rates of tuberculosis were farmers, unemployed workers and workers, 55.80%, 14.74% and 8.88% respectively. Conclusion The registration rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in Haikou has a downward trend overall, and prevention and control work needs to focus on the male and the elderly in order to better prevent and control the epidemic of tuberculosis in this area.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the clinical performance of the intraoral digital impression (IDI) in the fixed prosthodontics. METHODS: Databases of Medline (Ovid), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and CNKI were searched for randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the use of IDI in fixed prosthodontics until May 2020. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. A Meta-analysis was conducted when available. RESULTS: Eleven RCTs involving 618 patients were included in this study. A total of 2 and 3 studies had low and high risks of bias, respectively, and other included studies had a medium risk of bias. Results illustrated that the IDI group could shorten the impression-taken time [SMD=-5.63, 95%CI (-11.25, -0.01), CONCLUSIONS Evidence indicated a good clinical performance of IDI for fixed prosthodontics. Notably, high-quality studies are expected to further support the conclusion.

Objective:To compare the function and action pathways of VEGFA, VEGFB and VEGFC in VEGF family of mouse eye.Methods:Using the BXD mouse gene data in Genenetwork database as template to compare and study the similarities and differences of VEGFA, VEGFB and VEGFC molecular pathways or potential functions in the whole genome expression spectrum of BXD recombinant mouse inbred line population, with multiple analytical methods and statistical strategies were used, such as gene expression level, target genes comparison, top genes comparison associated to target genes, expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL).Results:Matrix comparison showed strong positive correlation between two probes of VEGFC ( r=0.732, P<0.01), weak correlation between VEGFA 1420909 and VEGFC 1440739, VEGFA 1451959 and VEGFC 1451803, VEGFC 1419417959 and VEGFC 1439766, VEGFC 1451803 and VEGFC 1439766 ( P<0.05); there was no correlation between VEGFA 1420909 and four other genes except VEGFC 1440739, VEGFA 1451959 and VEGFC 1440739, VEGFB 1451803 and VEGFA 1420909/VEGFC 1419417/VEGFC 1440739 ( P >0.05). In the comparative analysis of the relevant Top 50 genes of each VEGF gene, most of the genes in BXD mouse were not significantly correlated with VEGFA, VEGFB and VEGFC except for the weak association of individual related genes. The results of eQTL analysis showed that each probe of VEGF gene was located on different chromosomes. Conclusions:The expression levels and positive and negative correlations of VEGFA, VEGFB and VEGFC were different in the VEGF family of mouse eye, suggesting that these genes may play their role through different pathways.

BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarction occurs due to insufficient (ischemia) blood supply to heart for long time; plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is a long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including heart disease; However, few studies have explored its role. The present study evaluated the effects of lncRNA PVT1 on hypoxic rat H9c2 cells. METHODS: Hypoxic injury was examined by measuring cell viability and apoptosis by using cell counting kit-8 activity and flow cytometry assays. Gene expressions after hypoxia were estimated by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction and the signaling pathway were explored by Western blot analysis. RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays were applied to examine the interactions among genes. Data were analyzed using t-test with one-way or two-way analysis of variance. RESULTS: The lncRNA PVT1 is up-regulated in hypoxia-stressed H9c2 cells and knockdown of PVT1 mitigates hypoxia-induced injury in H9c2 cells. PVT1 acts as a sponge for miR-135a-5p and knockdown of PVT1 attenuated the increased hypoxia-induced injury by up-regulating miR-135a-5p. Forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) was identified as a target of miR-135a-5p, and the expression was negatively regulated by miR-135a-5p. The exploration of the underlying mechanism demonstrated that knockdown of FOXO1 reversed PVT1/miR-135a-5p mediated hypoxia-induced injury in H9c2 cells. CONCLUSIONS PVT1 plays a crucial role in hypoxia-injured H9c2 cells through sponging miR-135a-5p and then positively regulating FOXO1.
