Background::Bladder cancer, characterized by a high potential of tumor recurrence, has high lifelong monitoring and treatment costs. To date, tumor cells with intrinsic softness have been identified to function as cancer stem cells in several cancer types. Nonetheless, the existence of soft tumor cells in bladder tumors remains elusive. Thus, our study aimed to develop a microbarrier microfluidic chip to efficiently isolate deformable tumor cells from distinct types of bladder cancer cells.Methods::The stiffness of bladder cancer cells was determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The modified microfluidic chip was utilized to separate soft cells, and the 3D Matrigel culture system was to maintain the softness of tumor cells. Expression patterns of integrin β8 (ITGB8), protein kinase B (AKT), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were determined by Western blotting. Double immunostaining was conducted to examine the interaction between F-actin and tripartite motif containing 59 (TRIM59). The stem-cell-like characteristics of soft cells were explored by colony formation assay and in vivo studies upon xenografted tumor models. Results::Using our newly designed microfluidic approach, we identified a small fraction of soft tumor cells in bladder cancer cells. More importantly, the existence of soft tumor cells was confirmed in clinical human bladder cancer specimens, in which the number of soft tumor cells was associated with tumor relapse. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the biomechanical stimuli arising from 3D Matrigel activated the F-actin/ITGB8/TRIM59/AKT/mTOR/glycolysis pathways to enhance the softness and tumorigenic capacity of tumor cells. Simultaneously, we detected a remarkable up-regulation in ITGB8, TRIM59, and phospho-AKT in clinical bladder recurrent tumors compared with their non-recurrent counterparts.Conclusions::The ITGB8/TRIM59/AKT/mTOR/glycolysis axis plays a crucial role in modulating tumor softness and stemness. Meanwhile, the soft tumor cells become more sensitive to chemotherapy after stiffening, that offers new insights for hampering tumor progression and recurrence.

Objectives:To investigate the potential classification of quality of life in HIV-infected men who have sex with men (HIV-infected MSM) and to analyze possible influencing factors of different categories.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted among HIV-infected MSM who received antiretroviral treatment (ART) in an infectious disease hospital in Ji'nan, Shandong Province from October to December 2020. The quality of life scores in six domains were analyzed by latent profile analysis (LPA), and possible related factors of potential classification were explored by ordinal logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 584 HIV-infected MSM were included in this study. LPA divided their quality of life into three categories, named low score, medium score and high score groups, accounting for 34.4% (201/584), 49.8% (291/584), and 15.8% (92/584), respectively. Multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that age above 40 years (a OR=1.77, 95% CI:1.11-2.80), monthly average income of 3 000 Yuan and below (a OR=3.15, 95% CI:1.72-5.76), monthly average income of 3 001-5 000 Yuan (a OR=2.26, 95% CI:1.41-3.62), distance to the hospital to receive drugs farer than 40 kms (a OR=1.76, 95% CI:1.07-2.89), and adverse reactions after taking drugs (a OR=2.31, 95% CI:1.65-3.23) were factors associated with low level of quality of life. Conclusions:The qualities of life of HIV-infected MSM showed group heterogeneity and were at high levels. Attention should be focused on HIV-infected MSM who are at older age, with low income, and long distance to access the health facilities. The measures should be taken to reduce the adverse reactions of ART drugs and improve the quality of life.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the third most common malignancy with a high recurrence and metastasis rate in South China. Natural compounds extracted from traditional Chinese herbal medicines have been developed and utilized for the treatment of a variety of cancers with modest properties and slight side effects. Maackiain (MA) is a type of flavonoid that was first isolated from leguminous plants, and it has been reported to relieve various nervous system disorders and exert anti-allergic as well as anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we demonstrated that MA inhibited proliferation, arrested cell cycle and induced apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE1 and CNE2 cells in vitro and in vivo. The expression of the related proteins associated with these processes were consistent with the above effects. Moreover, transcriptome sequencing and subsequent Western blot experiments revealed that inhibition of the MAPK/Ras pathway may be responsible to the anti-tumor effect of MA on NPC cells. Therefore, the effects of MA and an activator of this pathway, tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), alone or combination, were investigated. The results showed TBHQ neutralized the inhibitory effects of MA. These data suggest that MA exerts its anti-tumor effect by inhibiting the MAPK/Ras signaling pathway and it has the potential to become a treatment for patients with NPC.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of circulating microRNA-1 (miR-1) in early coronary artery plaque rupture in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD).Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. Sixty-seven patients with SCAD admitted to the department of cardiology of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January to June in 2019 were enrolled. All patients had completed coronary angiography (CAG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) single stent implantation or only CAG was performed according to the CAG results. Blood samples were collected before (0 hour) and 3 hours after the procedure. The expression of plasma miR-1 was detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and electrocardiogram was used to detect cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels. The difference of miR-1 and cTnI levels in PCI or CAG patients before and after procedure were compared, and the value for early diagnosis of coronary artery plaque rupture in SCAD patients was evaluated. The diagnostic efficacy was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve).Results:There were 38 CAG patients and 29 PCI patients. There were no significant differences in gender, age, previous history (without hypertension history) and baseline data of cardiac function between the two groups. The expression of miR-1 after PCI was significantly higher than that before PCI [2 -ΔΔCt: 2.11 (1.56, 2.73) vs. 1.26 (1.07, 1.92), P < 0.01], and there was no significant difference in cTnI level before and after PCI [μg/L: 0.00 (0.00, 0.02) vs. 0.00 (0.00, 0.02), P > 0.05]. There were no significant differences in miR-1 and cTnI levels before and after procedure in the CAG group [miR-1 (2 -ΔΔCt): 1.09 (1.00, 1.40) vs. 1.21 (1.00, 1.71), cTnI (μg/L): 0.00 (0.00, 0.02) vs. 0.00 (0.00, 0.02), both P > 0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of miR-1 in the diagnosis of coronary plaque rupture were 0.794 (0.687-0.900), P < 0.01, the sensitivity was 82.8%, the specificity was 68.4%, and the optimal cut-off value was 1.51. The AUC and 95% CI of the difference of miR-1 before and after operation (ΔmiR-1) were 0.704 (0.567-0.842), P = 0.004, the sensitivity was 62.1%, the specificity was 84.2%, and the optimal cut-off value was 0.39. The efficancy of miR-1 and ΔmiR-1 after procedure to diagnose coronary plaque rupture in patients with SCAD was similar ( Z = 1.287, P = 0.198). However, baseline miR-1 might not predict whether patients with SCAD need PCI or not (AUC = 0.630, P > 0.05). Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that increased postoperative miR-1 expression was an independent risk factor for coronary plaque rupture in SCAD patients [odds ratios ( OR) = 2.887, 95% CI was 1.044-7.978, P = 0.041]. Conclusion:Circulating miR-1 might have the value for early diagnosis of coronary artery plaque rupture in SCAD patients.

OBJECTIVE：To study the inhibi tory effects of genistein on the growth of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma. CNE 1 cells and predict its potential target. METHODS ：CCK-8 method was used to test the effects of 0（blank control ），12.5，25，50， 100，150 µmol/L genistein on the proliferation of CNE 1 cells after treated for 24，48，72 h. Flow cytometry was carried out to detect the effects of 0（blank control ），15，30，60 µmol/L genistein on the cell cycle and ap optosis of CNE 1 cells after treated for 24 h. Scratch test was used to investigate the effects of 0（blank control ）， 10， 20， 30 µmol/L genistein on themigration ability of CNE 1 cells after treated for 24 h. High （No.18210156） throughput sequencing was conducted to discover the differential genes in CNE 1 cells after treated with 0（blankcontrol），30 µmol/L genistein for 24 h. RT-qPCR assay was adopted to verify the mRNA expression of related differential genes in above trials. RESULTS ： Compared with blank control，12.5，25，50，100，150 µmol/L genistein sho wed significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of CNE 1 cells（P＜ 0.01），in a concentration- time-effect manner ；15，30 µmol/L genistein could arrest CNE 1 cell cycle at G 0/G1 stage（P＜0.05 or P＜ 0.01）；30，60 µmol/L could arrest CNE 1 cell cycle at G 2/M stage and promoted cell apoptosis （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. 10，20，30 µmol/L genistein could significantly inhibit the migration ability of CNE 1 cells（padj＜0.01）. High throughput sequencing revealed a total of 2 271 differentialgenes（P＜0.05），1 154 of which were up-regulated while 1 117 of which were down-regulated ；8 potential target genes ，including p53，p21，STC2，FGF2，CDK6，CYCLIN D ，PI3K，AKT，were screened by cell experiment. After validated by RT-qPCR assay ，mRNA expression of p53，p21，STC2，FGF2，CDK6，CYCLIN D and AKT were significantly down-regulated（P＜0.05），which consistent with the sequencing results. CONCLUSIONS ：Genistein can effectively inhibit the growth of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE 1 cells，the mechanism of which may associated with inhibiting the expression of mutant gene p53，restoring the function of wild-type P 53 protein and inhibiting the activity of PI 3K/Akt pathway.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics of growth development and metabolic disorders in obese children and adolescents with insulin resistance (IR).Methods:Normal weight or obese children and adolescents who hospitalized at the Department of Children′s Health Care of Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from September 2015 to April 2018 were recruited.Children′s height, body weight and waist circumference were measured, and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and body mass index (BMI) were calculated.Puberty process was determined by Tanner stage.Blood glucose, blood lipid and insulin were measured in fasting state, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated based on fasting blood glucose and insulin levels.IR was considered when HOMA-IR was over 2.69.Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound.Results:(1) A total of 691 subjects were included, including 183 cases with the age of (9.73±2.38) years in the normal weight group/normal group, and 508 cases with the age of (10.24±2.05) years old in the obese group.The rate of IR was higher in obese group than that in normal group (55.71% vs. 10.38%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). (2)HOMA-IR was positively correlated with age ( r=0.256, P<0.001), BMI ( r=0.426, P<0.001), waist circumference ( r=0.454, P<0.001), and WHtR ( r=0.321, P<0.001). After the adjustment for age, sex, and puberty stage, HOMA-IR was also positively correlated with BMI ( r=0.418, P<0.001), waist circumference ( r=0.419, P<0.001) and WHtR ( r=0.375, P<0.001). (3) During puberty, HOMA-IR in both of obese group and normal group was increased, and HOMA-IR in obese group was more particularly serious compared to normal group[TannerⅠ: 2.60(1.49, 3.94) vs.1.28(0.80, 1.90); Tanner Ⅱ: 3.07(1.75, 5.17) vs.1.80(1.16, 2.96); Tanner Ⅲ: 4.33(2.80, 6.57) vs.2.47(1.41, 3.68); Tanner Ⅳ-Ⅴ: 3.49(1.04, 5.78) vs.1.91(0.54, 2.60)], and the differences were all statistically significant(all P<0.05). (4)Compared with the obese objects without IR, obese children and adolescents with IR had higher systolic blood pressure[112(104, 124) mmHg vs.109(98, 121) mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa], triglyceride level [1.27(0.95, 1.81) mmol/L vs.1.09(0.79, 1.61) mmol/L], fas-ting blood glucose level [4.80(4.46, 5.01) mmol/L vs.4.48(4.16, 4.76) mmol/L] and fasting insulin level [21.27(16.21, 28.56) mmol/L vs.7.62(4.43, 10.83) mmol/L], and the differences were all statistically significant(all P<0.05). IR was a risk factor for NAFLD in obese children( OR=1.536, 95% CI: 1.049-2.247, P<0.05). Conclusions:Serious and abdominal obesity in children and adolescents is a major risk factor for the development of IR.HOMA-IR of obese children and adolescents is particularly serious during puberty.The obese children with IR are more likely to have metabolic disorders in blood glucose, serum lipid and blood pressure, and have the risk of NAFLD development.

Objective:To examine the prospective association of pubertal timing and tempo with depressive symptoms in adolescents.Methods:Since 2013, 2 084 students in grade 1-3 were selected from two primary schools in Bengbu, Anhui Province were selected by using convenience sampling method to establish the adolescence pubertal development cohort. Followed up for 6 years, physical examination, secondary sexual development evaluation (testicular volume for boys and breast development for girls) and depressive symptoms were evaluated biennially. Non-linear growth model was used to estimate pubertal timing and tempo for boys and girls respectively. Depressive symptoms were interviewed by using the Short Mood & Feeling Questionnaire (SMFQ) at baseline and Mood & Feeling Questionnaire (MFQ) during follow-up for students in grade 1-2. Children Depression Inventory (CDI) was used for students in grade 3 at baseline and during follow-up. Depressive symptom scores were standardized by using the Z-score method. Multivariate linear regression model was used to analyze the predictive effects of modeling pubertal timing and tempo on depressive symptoms of adolescence boys and girls. Results:There were 1 909 students with complete questionnaire and puberty development information, including 1 052 boys (59.19%) and 857 girls (43.81%), with average age about (13.94±0.87) years and 91.60 percent follow-up rate. The average modeling pubertal timing of girls (11.25 years) was earlier than that of boys (12.70 years), and the average pubertal tempo of girls about 1.47 Tanner stage/year was faster than that of boys about 1.28 Tanner stage/year. After controlling for depressive symptoms, maternal education and adverse childhood experiences at baseline and age, body mass index (BMI) classification and sleep time during follow-up, this predictive effect of pubertal timing and tempo on depressive symptoms was only significant among girls. Compared with girls with on time pubertal timing, girls in the delay timing group had a lower level of depressive symptoms (β=-0.19, 95% CI:-0.34,-0.01). Compared with girls in average pubertal tempo group, the fast tempo group associated with an increasing risk of depressive symptoms (β =0.23, 95% CI: 0.05, 0.40), while the slow tempo group associated with an decreasing risk of depressive symptoms (β =-0.21, 95％ CI:-0.39,-0.03). Insignificant effects were found in puberty timing and tempo on depressive symptoms of boys ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Fast pubertal tempo increases the risk of development of depressive symptoms of adolescent girls. There is no predictive effect of pubertal timing and tempo on depression symptoms of adolescent boys.
