Objective:To investigate the expression and prognostic value of glycolytic metabolism related methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) in resectable primary liver cancer.Methods:The METTL3 mRNA expression data, clinicopathological data and prognostic information of 364 patients with primary liver cancer and 50 healthy normal liver tissues were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and gene set enrichment analysis was performed. Then the tissue samples of 239 patients with primary liver cancer who underwent radical hepatectomy in Chongqing Armed Police Corps Hospital from January 2016 to may 2019 were selected. Among them, 110 cases contained matched normal liver tissue adjacent to the cancer. The expression of METTL3 protein was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn, and log-rank test was used for comparison; Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the risk factors affecting the prognosis in patients with primary liver cancer.Results:TCGA database analysis result showed that the expression level of METTL3 mRNA in liver cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal liver tissue: 3.72 (3.19, 4.03) vs. 2.45 (2.11, 2.68), and there was statistical difference ( P = 0.007); Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the median overall survival time and disease-free survival time in patients with high expression of METTL3 mRNA were significantly shorter than those in patients with low expression of METTL3 mRNA (43.0 months vs. 72.0 months and 22.0 months vs. 38.0 months, HR = 1.7 and 1.4, P = 0.002 and 0.024). Gene set enrichment analysis result showed that METTL3 mRNA was related to impaired glucose metabolism. In the clinical sample study, the positive expression rate of METTL3 protein in liver cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal liver tissue adjacent to cancer: 54.55% (60/110) vs. 14.55% (16/110), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 38.92, P<0.01). Among 239 patients with primary liver cancer, 132 cases (55.23%) had positive expression of METTL3 protein in liver cancer tissue, and 107 cases had negative expression. Compared with METTL3 protein negative patients, METTL3 protein positive patients had higher body mass index; higher TNM stage, BCLC stage and tissue grade; more lesions; larger tumor sizes; more common satellite nodules; higher leukocyte count, platelet count and neutrophil count, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the median overall survival time and disease-free survival time in patients with METTL3 protein positive were significantly shorter than those in patients with METTL3 negative (18.0 months vs. 38.0 months and 13.0 months vs. 27.0 months, P<0.01). Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis result showed that METTL3 protein positive in liver cancer tissue was an independent risk factor affecting overall survival time and disease-free survival time ( HR = 1.840 and 2.096, 95% CI 1.298 to 2.608 and 1.469 to 2.991, P<0.01). Conclusions:METTL3 is involved in glycolytic metabolism of primary liver cancer, and can be used as a promising biomarker to evaluate the prognosis of patients with primary liver cancer.

Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3?kinase(PI3?K),mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)and Beclin?1 in the hippocampus of normal rats and intermittent hypoxia rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion ,so as to explore the role of PI3K/mTOR/autophagy pathway in global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury aggravated by intermittent hypoxia. Methods A total of 80 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(SO group,n=20),merely ischemia/reperfusion group(I/R group,n=20),intermittent hypoxia for 7?day ischemia/reperfusion group(IH7+I/R group,n=20),and intermittent hypoxia for 21?day ischemia/reperfusion group(IH21+I/R group,n=20). IH7+I/R group and IH21+I/R group were respectively given intermittent hypoxia for 7 days and 21 days before ischemia/reperfusion. The cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model was established by modified Pulsinelli four?vessel occlusion method. The morpholog?ical changes of nerve cells in hippocampal CA1 region were observed by HE staining and electron microscope. The protein expressions of PI3?K, mTOR and Beclin?1 of nerve cells in hippocampal CA1 region were detected by immunohistochemical staining and RT?PCR. The learning memory capacity of rats were assessed by the Morris water maze test. Results Compared with SO group,I/R group increased the never cells morphology damages,reduced the number of survival neurons,and declined the ability of learning and memory(P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed that the number of PI3?K immunoreactive cell,mTOR immunoreactive cell and Beclin?1 immunoreactive cell increased in I/R group compared with S0 group(P<0.05). RT?PCR showed that the expressions of PI3?K,mTOR and Beclin?1 increased in I/R group compared with S0 group(P<0.05). Compared with I/R group,intermittent hypoxia groups increased the never cells morphology damages,decreased the number of survival neu?rons,and declined the ability of learning and memory(P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed that the number of PI3?K immunoreactive cell, mTOR immunoreactive cell and Beclin?1 immunoreactive cell increased in IH7+I/R and IH21+I/R groups compared with I/R group(P<0.05). RT?PCR showed that the expressions of PI3?K,mTOR and Beclin?1 increased in IH7+I/R and IH21+I/R groups compared with I/R group(P<0.05),and the changes were more significant in IH21+I/R group(P<0.05). Conclusion Intermittent hypoxia can aggravate neurological injury after ischemia,which is related to PI3K/mTOR/autophagy pathway activation.

Objective To investigate the related factors of anxiety in patients undergoing liver puncture,so as to provide better clinical care and psychological intervention for patients to ensure the successful completion of liver puncture. Methods From January 2008 to January 2014,310 cases of patients from the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen with liver puncture were selected as the research object. The patients' general condition and self rating Anxiety Scale were investigated. Results The SAS score of the patients who would undergo liver puncture was(47.25±0.44)points,and the incidence of anxiety symptoms was 91.3%. The results of univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the effect of patients with anxiety before liver biopsy can explain the variation of the size of the corresponding factors:whether accompanied by family members, payment methods,awareness of the disease,ear of liver failure,the education level,and gender(β' =0.617, 0.352,0.114,0.102,0.082、0.043;P < 0.05). Conclusions Before the liver puncture,the patients show a state of anxiety. The main factors affecting the anxiety status are whether to have family members,to pay for the disease,to understand the disease,to worry about the failure of liver failure,the degree of education and gender medical staff should provide targeted nursing intervention for patients to alleviate anxiety and promote rehabilitation on the basis of the above factors and the relevant circumstances.
