Objective To explore the effect of scutellarin(SCU)through regulation of nuclear transcription factor kappa B(NF-κB)p65 signaling pathway on the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells line MGC803.Methods To select SCUs with concentrations of 100,250,and 500 nmol/L for subsequent experiments;MGC803 gastric cancer cells were separated into a control group,SCU-L group(100 nmol/L),SCU-M group(250 nmol/L),SCU-H group(500 nmol/L),SCU-H+PMA group(NF-κB activator,200 nmol/L PMA).Cell plate cloning experiments were applied to detect cell proliferation.Scratch healing experiment was used to detect the migration of MGC803 cells;Tran swell assay was used to detect the invasive ability of MGC803 cells;Enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the level of IFN-γ,IL-4,and IL-10 in the supernatant of MGC803 cells;Western blot detection of NF-κB p65 pathway related protein expression.Results SCU inhibited proliferation of MGC803 in a concentration dependent manner.SCU concentrations of 100,250,and 500 nmol/L were selected for subsequent experiments.Compared with the control group,the number of cell clones formed,scratch healing rate,number of invasive cells,IL-10 level and p-p65/p65 ratio all decreased in SCU-L group,SCU-M group,and SCU-H group,while IFN-γ and IL-4 increased(P<0.05).Compared with the SCU-H group,the number of cell clones,scratch healing rate,number of in-vasive cells,IL-10 level,and p-p65/p65 ratio obviously increased in the SCU-H+PMA group,while IFN-γ and IL-4 level significantly reduced(P<0.05).Conclusions SCU may inhibit the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cell line MGC803.

From birth to adulthood, we often align our behaviors, attitudes, and opinions with a majority, a phenomenon known as social conformity. A seminal framework has proposed that conformity behaviors are mainly driven by three fundamental motives: a desire to gain more information to be accurate, to obtain social approval from others, and to maintain a favorable self-concept. Despite extensive interest in neuroimaging investigation of social conformity, the relationship between brain systems and these fundamental motivations has yet to be established. Here, we reviewed brain imaging findings of social conformity with a componential framework, aiming to reveal the neuropsychological substrates underlying different conformity motivations. First, information-seeking engages the evaluation of social information, information integration, and modification of task-related activity, corresponding to brain networks implicated in reward, cognitive control, and tasks at hand. Second, social acceptance involves the anticipation of social acceptance or rejection and mental state attribution, mediated by networks of reward, punishment, and mentalizing. Third, self-enhancement entails the excessive representation of positive self-related information and suppression of negative self-related information, ingroup favoritism and/or outgroup derogation, and elaborated mentalizing processes to the ingroup, supported by brain systems of reward, punishment, and mentalizing. Therefore, recent brain imaging studies have provided important insights into the fundamental motivations of social conformity in terms of component processes and brain mechanisms.

Objective:To analyze the clinical value and predictive difference of serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) and serum autophagy-related protein p62 levels in the short-term prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).Methods:Clinical data of admitted cases to our hospital from October 2018 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Simultaneously, there were 32 cases with HBV-related ACLF in group A, 65 cases with hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis in group B and C (Child-Pugh Class A, 34 cases as B group, and Child-Pugh B/C class, 31 cases as group C), and another 30 healthy subjects served as the control group (group D). The serum GP73 and p62 levels of the four selected groups were measured. ACLF group patients were followed up for 3 months to analyze the prognosis of the patients. The serum GP73 and p62 levels of patients who died and survived during hospitalization were compared. The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance, independent sample t-test, and Pearson’s correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive value of GP73 and p62 levels in surviving patients.Results:GP73 levels in the four groups A, B, C and D were (284.30 ± 70.55) ng/ml, (125.33 ± 20.57) ng/ml, (159.82 ± 31.20) ng/ml, and (45.46 ± 10.22) ng/ml, respectively. The p62 levels were (1.30 ± 0.35) ng/ml, (2.88 ± 0.58) ng/ml, (2.02 ± 0.545) ng/ml, and (4.68 ± 1.03) ng/ml, respectively. GP73 detection value was significantly higher in group A than the other three groups ( P < 0.05). Group D had significantly lower value than the other three groups ( P < 0.05), and group C had significantly higher value than group B ( P < 0.05). The detection value of p62 in group A was significantly lower than the other three groups ( P < 0.05). Group D had significantly higher value than the other three groups ( P < 0.05), and group B had slightly higher value than group C, and the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). There was a negative correlation between GP73 and p62 ( r = -0.695, P < 0.001). Survived patients GP73 level in the ACLF group was significantly lower than dead patients [(212.17 ± 22.47) ng/ml and (340.08 ± 32.91) ng/ml, t = 12.493, P < 0.05], and p62 level was significantly higher than dead patients [(1.46 ± 0.28) ng/ml and (1.18 ± 0.35) ng/ml, t = 2.445, P < 0.05]. According to the ROC curve analysis results, the area under the curve (AUC) of GP73 was 0.865, the AUC of p62 was 0.750, and the combined AUC of the both was 0.968. Conclusion:Both GP73 and p62 have a certain predictive value for the short-term prognosis of HBV-related ACLF patients, but the combination of the two indicators has a higher predictive value.
