Objective:To discuss the damage effect of vesicular stomatitis virus(VSV)on the vascular endothelial(VE)barrier,and to clarify its mechanism.Methods:The canine kidney cells were used to amplify VSV.The half tissue culture infective dose(TCID50)of VSV was determined using mouse brain endothelial tumor bEnd.3 cells,and subsequent experiment was conducted using 300 times the TCID50.The bEnd.3 cells were divided into infection 0 h group,infection 4 h group,infection 8 h group,and infection 12 h group for VE barrier damage experiments due to VSV infection.The bEnd.3 cells were also divided into control group,infection group,and correction group for experiments to inhibit the VSV replication and restore the VE barrier.The bEnd.3 cells were inoculated into Transwell chambers to construct an in vitro VE barrier model.Cell voltage resistance meter was used to detect the transepithelial resistance(TER)in various groups after the bEnd.3 cells were infected with VSV at different time points;fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran leakage assay was used to detect the permeability coefficients of the cells in various groups;immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the localization changes of VE-cadherin,β-catenin,and phosphorylated β-catenin(p-β-catenin)in cytoskeleton and adherens junctions(AJs)of the bEnd.3 cells after VSV infection;real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the expression levels of Wnt and β-catenin mRNA in the cells in various groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of Wnt,β-catenin,and p-β-catenin proteins in the cells in various groups.Results:The TCID50 of VSV was 10-4.5·100 μL-1.TheTranswell chamber experiment results showed that compared with infection 0 h group,the TERs in the cells in the other groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the permeability coefficients were significantly increased(P<0.05).The immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with control group,the cytoskeleton of the bEnd.3 cells in infection group was disordered,the cell gaps was increased,the linear index of AJs was significantly decreased(P<0.05),and β-catenin and p-β-catenin translocated from the cell membrane to the perinuclear area.The RT-qPCR results showed that compared with infection 0 h group,the expression levels of Wnt mRNA in the cells in the other groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while the expression levels of β-catenin mRNA showed no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).The Western blotting results showed that compared with infection 0 h group,the expression levels of Wnt protein in the cells in the other groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05),the expression levels of β-catenin showed no statistically significant differences(P>0.05),and the expression levels of p-β-catenin were significantly increased(P<0.05).After inhibiting the VSV replication and correcting the low density lipoprotein receptor(LDLR)abnormalities,the Transwell chamber experiment results showed that compared with infection group,the TER in the cells in correction group was significantly increased(P<0.05),and the permeability coefficient was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with infection group,the gaps in the cells in correction group were reduced,and the perinuclear aggregation of β-catenin and p-β-catenin in the cells was restrained.The RT-qPCR results showed that compared with infection group,the expression level of Wnt mRNA in the cells in correction group was significantly increased(P<0.05).The Western blotting results showed that compared with infection group,the expression level of Wnt protein in the cells in correction group was significantly increased(P<0.05),the expression level of β-catenin showed no statistically significant difference(P>0.05),and the expression level of p-P-catenin was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:VSV infection can cause the LDLR inactivation,reduce the expression level of Wnt protein,increase the phosphorylation level of β-catenin and cause its internalization,disrupt the stability of AJs,and ultimately lead to VE barrier damage.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopic versus open hepatectomy based on three-dimensional image reconstruction in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the central region of liver.Methods:Clinical data of 118 patients with HCC located in the central region of liver undergoing hepatectomy in the People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 85 males and 33 females, aged (57.5±8.9) years old. According to surgical approach, patients were divided into two groups: the open surgery group ( n=66) and laparoscopic surgery group ( n=52). All patients underwent three-dimensional image reconstruction preoperatively to determine the tumor location and its relationship with the hepatic vessels. The operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, and prognosis were compared between the groups. Results:Compared to open surgery, patients in laparoscopic group were younger [(55±9) years old vs. (59±8) years old], and experienced a longer operative time [212.5 (152.5, 262.3) min vs. 161.5 (135.8, 210.0) min] and a shorter postoperative hospital stay [11.0(9.0, 13.0) d vs. 13.0(11.0, 15.3) d] (all P<0.05). Postoperative pathology indicated that R0 resection was achieved in both groups. The incidence of postoperative complications were comparable between the two groups [34.6% (18/52) vs. 39.4% (26/66), χ2=0.28, P=0.594]. The 1-year and 3-year recurrence-free survivals were 69.7% and 53.0% in laparoscopic group, similar to those in open group (71.2% and 53.8%, respetctively, P=0.953). Conclusion:Laparoscopic hepatectomy based on three-dimensional image reconstruction is safe and feasible for HCC in central region in terms of clinical prognosis. Laparoscopic surgery is also associated with a shorter postoperative hospital stay.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease characterized by seizures, and is one of the most common nervous system diseases in clinic practice with the recurrent, transient, and refractory characteristics. Clinically, western medicine therapy is mainly adopted in the treatment of epilepsy, but it is not conducive to long-term use for patients on account of severe side effects, which can result in abnormalities in the digestive system, central nervous system, hematopoietic system, urinary system, and liver function to varying degrees. Syndrome differentiation is usually used for the treatment of epilepsy by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which can avoid the side effects of western medicine treatment on the basis of improving patients' syndromes. The literature on TCM in the treatment of epilepsy in China and abroad indicates that the syndrome differentiation in TCM is often based on phlegm, blood stasis, wind, and deficiency, and the treatment methods include acupuncture, acupoint catgut embedding, moxibustion, Chinese medicine monomer, drug pair, and compound decoction. The various treatments of TCM play an important role in the comprehensive treatment of epilepsy through multiple channels and links, such as reducing the degree and number of seizures. This paper comprehensively summarized the clinical experience of TCM in the treatment of epilepsy, systematically expounded various treatment methods and ideas of TCM in the treatment of epilepsy, and deeply discussed the mechanism of TCM in the treatment of epilepsy, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical formulation of a reasonable individualized treatment plan for epilepsy and diversified ideas for the more effective treatment of epilepsy by TCM.

Objective:To investigate the value of tumor budding in the clinicopathology and prognosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.Methods:The Cliniccal data of 105 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor patients underwent resection in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from Jan 2010 to Dec 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Tumor budding was calculated through hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and immunohistochemical stained slides. Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), the number of tumor budding ≥10 was defined as the high-grade budding group, and <10 as the low-grade budding group. Multiple analysis was performed to determine the relationship between tumor budding and clinicopathology as well as prognosis.Results:High-grade budding group was observed in 35 cases and low-grade group in 70. High-grade budding were more common in tumors with advanced T stage, high risk of lymphatic metastasis, preoperative liver metastasis, vascular invasion and postoperative recurrence (respectively χ 2=9.043, 4.286, 10.130, 12.090, 9.260, all P<0.05). Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that tumor budding ( P=0.018), tumor grade ( P=0.026), preoperative liver metastasis ( P=0.042), vascular invasion( P=0.048) was independent risk factors predicting poor prognosis. Conclusion:Tumor budding is highly correlated with clinicopathological parameters which reflect the aggressiveness of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, it is also an important prognostic factor.

Objective To investigate the expression and effect of miR-22-3p in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods The miR-22-3p expression level in seventy-six NSCLC tissues and para-cancer tissues was detected by qRT-PCR. The relationship between the expression of miR-22-3p and gender,age,tumor size,histolo-gy grade,pathological type and lymph node metastasis was analyzed. The function of miR-22-3p on the prolifera-tion of NSCLC cells was tested by growth curve assay. Target genes of miR-22-3p were predicted by online software Targetscan. Luciferase reporter assay and qRT-PCR was used to certificate the prediction. Results The expression of miR-22-3p was increased in NSCLC tissues than the para-cancer tissues and was correlated to lymph node metas-tasis. Overexpression of miR-22-3p could suppress the proliferation of A549 cells. Astrocyte-Elevated Gene-1(AEG-1) was predicted to be a target of miR-22-3p. MiR-22-3p was revealed to bind to AEG-13′UTR by luciferase report-er assay. Overexpression of miR-22-3p could inhibit the expression of AEG-1 in A549 cells. Suppression of miR-22-3p could increase AEG-1 expression. Conclusion MiR-22-3p could inhibit the proliferation of NSCLC by tar-geting AEG-1.
