Objective To investigate the expression of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein D1 (SNRPD1) in the gastric cancer tissue and evaluate the predictive value of SNRPD1 expression level for the long-term prognosis of gastric cancer patients and the possible functioning mechanism of SNRPD1. Methods The UALCAN and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) were employed to analyze the expression level of SNRPD1 in pan-cancer and its relationship with the prognosis of gastric cancer.The clinical data of 109 patients who underwent radical surgery for gastric cancer from January 2014 to January 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Gastric cancer and paracancerous tissue samples were collected,and the expression of SNRPD1 was detected by immunohistochemical staining.Lentiviral transfection was employed to construct the BGC-823 gastric cancer cell models with stable high and low expression of SNRPD1,respectively.The CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay were employed to measure the proliferation of gastric cancer cells,and flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle.Western blotting was employed to determine the expression levels of proteins in the signaling pathway. Results The data from UALCAN and GEPIA showed that SNRPD1 was highly expressed in the tissue of malignant tumors including gastric cancer (P<0.001).The expression level of SNRPD1 in the gastric cancer tissue was higher than that in the paracancerous tissue (P<0.001).Moreover,the expression level of SNRPD1 was positively correlated with the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (P<0.001),carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (P<0.001),G stage (P=0.042),T stage (P=0.002),and N stage (P=0.027) in the patients with gastric cancer.The high expression of SNRPD1 had a predictive value for the long-term prognosis of gastric cancer (P<0.001),and it was an independent risk factor for the death of gastric cancer patients (P=0.003).The results of gene ontology and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and Genomes enrichment analyses showed that SNRPD1 was involved in the regulation of the cell cycle.The results of CCK-8 and colony formation assays showed that up-regulation of SNRPD1 promoted the proliferation of gastric cancer cells (P<0.001,P<0.001).The up-regulation of SNRPD1 up-regulated the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 6 and G₁/S-specific cyclin-D1 (P<0.001,P=0.002),whereas the interference in SNRPD1 led to opposite results (P=0.004,P<0.001).SNRPD1 accelerated the G₁/S phase transition of gastric cancer cells (P<0.001).The overexpression of SNRPD1 promoted the expression of phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and phosphorylated protein kinase B (Akt) in gastric cancer cells (P=0.043,P<0.001),whereas disruption of SNRPD1 inhibited their expression (both P<0.001).Insulin-like growth factor 1,an agonist of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,promoted the proliferation of gastric cancer cells with SNRPD1 disturbed (P=0.002). Conclusion High expression of SNRPD1 in the gastric cancer tissues is associated with poor prognosis,and it may promote tumor cell proliferation and regulate the cell cycle by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of afzelin(AFZ)in treating Crohn's disease-like colitis.Methods A mouse model of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis was established to assess the effect of AFZ on experimental colitis in vivo.A Caco-2 cell model of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α-induced inflammation was established to evaluate the effects of AFZ on the intestinal barrier function,intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis,and mitochondrial function in vitro.The animal and cell experiments were performed to validate the regulatory role of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/silent information regulater 1(SIRT1)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator(PGC)-1α pathway in the treatment of colitis with AFZ.Results AFZ reduced the disease activity index(P=0.003),weight loss(P<0.001),colon shortening(P<0.001),inflammation score(P=0.002),pro-inflammatory cytokine release(interleukin-6:P<0.001;TNF-α:P=0.010),and intestinal barrier permeability(fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran 4:P<0.001;intestinal-type fatty acid-binding protein:P=0.013).Meanwhile,AFZ increased the colonic transepithelial electric resistance(P=0.001),reduced bacterial translocation(P<0.001),and promoted the localization and up-regulated the expression of tight junction proteins [zonula occluden-1(P=0.005) and Claudin-1(P=0.024)].AFZ exerted a protective effect on the Caco-2 cells exposed to TNF-α in terms of intestinal epithelial cell permeability(P=0.017),transepithelial electric resistance(P=0.014),and tight junction protein[zonula occluden-1(P=0.014) and Claudin-1(P=0.006)] localization and expression.Furthermore,the cell and animal experiments confirmed that AFZ reduced the percentage of apoptosis(P<0.001,P=0.013)and the expression of cleaved-caspase 3(P=0.028,P=0.004)and Bax(P=0.004,P=0.020),and upregulated the Bcl2(P=0.020,P=0.006)level in intestinal epithelial cells.Additionally,AFZ increased the number of mitochondria,mitochondrial membrane potential,and copy number of mitochondrial DNA(P=0.007)in intestinal epithelial cells,while enhancing the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅰ(P=0.005)and complex Ⅳ(P=0.001).The activation of the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway was involved in the protective effects of AFZ on mitochondrial function and apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells.Conclusion AFZ alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells by activating the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway,thereby ameliorating intestinal barrier dysfunction and experimental colitis.

Microbial detection and control of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) decoction pieces are crucial for the quality control of TCM preparations. It is also a key area of research in the measurement technology and equipment development for TCM manufacturing. Guided by TCM manufacturing measurement methodologies, this study presented a design of a novel portable microbial detection device, using Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma decoction pieces as a demonstration. Immunomagnetic separation technology was employed for specific isolation and labeling of target microorganisms. Enzymatic signal amplification was utilized to convert weak biological signals into colorimetric signals, constructing an optical biosensor. A self-developed smartphone APP was further applied to analyze the colorimetric signals and quantify target concentrations. A portable and automated detection system based on Arduino microcontroller was developed to automatically perform target microbial separation/extraction, as well as mimetic enzyme labeling and catalytic reactions. The developed equipment specifically focuses on the rapid and quantitative microbial analysis of TCM active pharmaceutical ingredients, intermediates in TCM manufacturing, and final TCM products. Experimental results demonstrate that the equipment could detect Salmonella in samples within 2 h, with a detection limit as low as 5.1 × 10~3 CFU·mL~(-1). The equipment enables the rapid detection of microorganisms in TCM decoction pieces, providing a potential technical solution for on-site rapid screening of microbial contamination indicators in TCM. It has broad application prospects in measurement technology for TCM manufacturing and offers strong technical support for the modernization, industrialization, and intelligent development of TCM.

OBJECTIVE: By analyzing the differential miRNA in seminal plasma between individuals with normal and abnormal sperm DNA fragmentation index（DFI）, we aim to identify miRNA that may impact sperm DNA integrity and target genes, and attempt to analyze their potential mechanisms of action. METHODS: A total of 161 study subjects were collected and divided into normal control group, DFI-medium group and DFI-abnormal group based on the DFI detection values. Differential miRNA were identified through miRNA chip analysis. Through bioinformatics analysis and target gene prediction, miRNA related to DFI and specific target genes were identified. The relative expression levels of differential miRNA and target genes in each group were compared to explore the impact of their differential expression on DFI. RESULTS: Through miRNA chip analysis, a total of 11 differential miRNA were detected. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that miR-26a-5p may be associated with reduced sperm DNA integrity. And gene prediction indicated that PTEN was a specific target gene of miR-26a-5p. Compared to the normal control group, the relative expression levels of miR-26a-5p in both the DFI-medium group and the DFI-abnormal group showed a decrease, while the relative expression levels of PTEN showed an increase. The relative expression levels of miR-26a-5p in all groups were negatively correlated with DFI values, while the relative expression levels of PTEN showed a positive correlation with DFI values in the DFI-medium group and the DFI-abnormal group. The AUC of miR-26a-5p in the DFI-medium group was 0.740 (P<0.05), with a sensitivity of 73.6% and a specificity of 71.5%; the AUC of PTEN was 0.797 (P<0.05), with a sensitivity of 76.5% and a specificity of 78.4%. In the DFI-abnormal group, the AUC of miR-26a-5p was 0.848 (P<0.05), with a sensitivity of 81.3% and a specificity of 78.1%. While the AUC of PTEN was 0.763 (P<0.05), with a sensitivity of 77.2% and a specificity of 80.2%. CONCLUSION miR-26a-5p affects the integrity of sperm DNA by regulating the expression of PTEN negatively. The relative expression levels of seminal plasma miR-26a-5p and PTEN have good diagnostic value for sperm DNA integrity damage, which can help in the etiological diagnosis and prognosis analysis of abnormal DFI. This provides a diagnostic and treatment approach for the study and diagnosis of DFI abnormalities without clear etiology.
