[摘 要] 目的：探讨透明质酸介导运动受体（HMMR）在食管鳞状细胞癌（ESCC）细胞恶性进展中的作用及其潜在的分子机制。方法：收集2018年1月至2020年12月期间在河北医科大学第四医院手术切除的8例ESCC组织及癌旁组织标本，以及ESCC细胞KYSE-30和KYSE-150。利用WB法和免疫组化（IHC）法检测HMMR在ESCC组织中的表达情况。采用RNA干扰技术，在KYSE-30和KYSE-150细胞中敲低HMMR表达，qPCR法和WB法检测敲低效果，通过CCK-8实验和Transwell实验分别检测敲低HMMR对ESCC细胞增殖和侵袭能力的影响。4-硝基喹啉1-氧化物（4NQO）诱导小鼠致癌建立ESCC模型，H-E染色观察食管的形态变化，IHC法分析HMMR、序列相似性家族83成员D（FAM83D）、上皮钙黏素（E-cadherin）和神经钙黏素（N-cadherin）在小鼠不同癌变程度组织中的表达情况。结果：人ESCC组织中HMMR表达水平显著高于癌旁组织（均P < 0.05）。敲低HMMR后，KYSE-30和KYSE-150细胞的增殖和侵袭能力均显著降低（P < 0.05或P < 0.01），同时降低了FAM83D的表达水平（均P < 0.01）。裸鼠成瘤实验中，4NQO组小鼠体质量均低于对照组（均P < 0.05）；IHC法染色结果显示，肿瘤组织中HMMR呈高表达（P < 0.05），其中在高级别上皮内瘤变（HGIN）组织中的表达显著高于低级别上皮内瘤变（LGIN）组织（P < 0.001）。HMMR与FAM83D、N-cadherin表达呈显著正相关（r = 0.724、0.870，均P < 0.001），与E-cadherin表达呈显著负相关（r = -0.714，P < 0.001）。结论：HMMR在ESCC组织中呈高表达，其可能通过上调FAM83D表达水平促进ESCC的进展。

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

BackgroundThe existing tools in China for assessing psychiatric nurses' knowledge， attitude and practice towards the use of protective restraint do not sufficiently consider the specialty in psychiatric practice， and the scale items are somewhat cumbersome to use， which together restrict their further promotion and application. Accordingly， there is an urgent need for developing a more scientific assessment tool. ObjectiveTo construct a scale for assessing psychiatric nurses' knowledge， attitude and practice towards the use of protective restraint and to verify its reliability and validity， so as to provide a generic tool for the assessment. MethodsBased on the theoretical framework of the knowledge-attitude-practice model， the preliminary scale was formed through systematic literature review， qualitative interview and Delphi method. From July to December 2021， a stratified sampling was utilized to select 729 psychiatric nurses from tertiary， secondary and primary （including unclassified medical institutions and grassroots hospitals） psychiatric hospitals in Guangdong Province. The formal scale was developed through item analysis， exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The validity of the scale was evaluated by content validity and structure validity， and the reliability was verified by procedures including Cronbach's α coefficient， test-retest reliability， and split-half reliability. ResultsA total of 12 items of three dimensions （knowledge， attitude， practice） were included in the scale for assessing psychiatric nurses' knowledge， attitude and practice towards the use of protective restraint. The scale-level content validity index （S-CVI） was 0.941， and the item-level content validity index （I-CVI） ranged from 0.812 to 1.000. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors， and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 62.948%. The confirmatory factor yielded adequate fit. Cronbach's α coefficient was found to be 0.887 for the scale， 0.819 for knowledge dimension， 0.842 for attitude dimension， and 0.831 for practice dimension. The split-half reliability and test-retest reliability for the scale were 0.712 and 0.922， respectively. ConclusionThe scale shows satisfactory reliability and validity， which can be used to assess psychiatric nurses' knowledge， attitude and practice towards the use of protective restraint. ［Funded by Guangdong Clinical Teaching Base Teaching Reform Research Project （number， 2021JD119）］

Objective:To evaluate the effects of high mobility group protein box 1 (HMGB1) on clinical prognosis of esophagus squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients treated with chemoradiotherapy and the radiosensitivity of xenograft in nude mice.Methods:A total of 90 endoscopic biopsy specimens were obtained from ESCC patients treated with chemoradiotherapy. The expression level of HMGB1 was determined by immunohistochemical staining. High expression level was defined when staining was observed on ≥50% of the tumor cells. All patients were divided into the high expression group ( n=48) and low expression group ( n=42), and their survival information was retrospectively analyzed. Cell transfection was performed with the plasmid carrying human HMGB1-shRNA to knockdown HMGB1 expression in ECA109 cells and xenograft mouse models were established. The tumor volume and mass were calculated after irradiation with a dose of 15 Gy. The cell apoptosis in xenograft tissues were detected. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate prognostic analysis was conducted by log-rank test. Intergroup comparison was performed by analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results:The expression level of HMGB1 was significantly associated with gross tumor volume, longest diameter of tumor, T staging and distant metastasis ( χ2=9.663, 5.625, 4.068, 7.146, all P<0.05). In the low expression group, the overall survival (OS) ( χ2=4.826, P=0.028), progression-free survival (PFS) ( χ2=4.390, P=0.036) were longer compared with that in the high expression group. Further analysis of HMGB1-high expression patients showed that the radiation dose and the combination of chemoradiotherapy did not significantly affect the OS or PFS of ESCC patients. We observed that knockdown of HMGB1 slowed the growth rate of xenograft, decreased the tumor volume and increased the apoptosis rate after irradiation. Conclusions:ESCC patients with high expression level of HMGB1 obtain poor prognosis after chemoradiotherapy, which can be enhanced by increasing the sensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. HMGB1 knockdown can effectively increase the radiosensitivity of xenograft in ESCC nude mice.

Objective:To examine the effect of FAM83D knockdown on proliferation, survival ability and invasion of human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after X-ray radiation, and explore the mechanism.Methods:The expression of FAM83D, E-cadherin and vimentin in tumor tissues was detected in 69 cases of esophageal squamous cell cancer by using immunohistochemical method. The siRNA based on the sequences of the FAM83D mRNA were synthesized to transfect into the cultured ECA109 cells as FAM83D shRNA group. The effect of silencing FAM83D gene was evaluated to determine the protein levels of FAM83D in the human oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma ECA109 and KYSE30 cells using western blotting. MTS, clone formation, and Transwell assay were employed to examine the proliferation, survival ability and invasion of ECA109 and KYSE30 cells in vitro, respectively. We used flow cytometry assay to analyze distribution of cell apoptosis in different groups. Western blotting was used to examine the expression of cell metastasis-related molecules and apoptosis-related protein. Results:The strong expression rates of FAM83D, E-cadherin, and vimentin were 55%(38/69), 36%(25/69) and 61%(42/69) in the tumor tissues, respectively. FAM83D protein expression was significantly and negatively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin ( r=-0.350, P<0.01), and positively with the expression of vimentin ( r=0.470, P<0.01). Western blotting results demonstrated that silencing FAM83D gene significantly reduced the FAM83D protein expression ( P<0.01). MTS data demonstrated that FAM83D knockdown after irradiation significantly inhibited the proliferation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma ECA109 and KYSE30 cells ( P<0.05). The data from the clone formation assay revealed that the radiosensitivity was increased after downragulation of FAM83D expression ( P<0.01). In addition, the invasive abilities of oesophageal carcinoma cells transfected with FAM83D shRNA after irradiation were significantly inhibited compared with those of the NC group ( P<0.01), followed by the downregulation of N-cadherin, vimentin, Snail, p-Akt and p-GSK-3β expression, and the upregulation of E-cadherin expression ( P<0.01). The apoptosis rate of tumor cells in FAM83D shRNA group after irradiation was markedly increased ( P<0.01), followed by a decrease of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 expression and an increase of Cleaved caspase-3 expression ( P<0.01). Conclusions:FAM83D expressions was found to be closely related to the invasion and development of ESCC. Furthermore, siRNA interference technology inhibited the expression of FAM83D gene in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells, reduced the proliferation, invasion of cells, induced cell apoptosis, and increased radiosensitivity, which may be associated with regulating the epithelial-mesenchymaltransition via Snail/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathways.

In April 2016, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) adjusted its polio vaccination strategy, converting trivalent oral polio vaccine (tOPV) into bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV), and withdrawing type 2 oral polio vaccine (OPV2) globally. However, after the withdrawal of OPV2, there were many outbreaks of type-2 circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV2) in Asia and Africa. In order to eradicate poliovirus completely, GPEI launched the research and development of the novel serotype 2 oral polio vaccine (nOPV2) in 2010 and considering whether it is necessary to reuse OPV. This paper summarizes the epidemiological situation of cVDPV2 before and after OPV2′s withdrawal, the related factors affecting the reuse of OPV and the related research progress of nOPV2.

Objective To evaluate the effect of RNF2 gene knockdown in ECA109 cells on the radiosensitivity to esophageal cancer cell xenograft in nude mice. Methods Thirty-six male BALB/c/nu nude mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: control group, control+ irradiation group, NC group, NC+irradiation group, RNF2 shRNA group and RNF2 shRNA+ irradiation group. The nude mouse models with transplanted tumors were established by subcutaneous inoculation of EAC109 cells and given with irradiation at a dose of 3 Gy for 5 times. The longest ( a) and shortest ( b) diameters of the transplanted tumor were measured every 2 to 3 day since the fourteenth day after inoculation. The time of tumor formation was recorded. The tumor volume was calculated according to the formula ( ab2/2 ) . The growth curve was delineated. Three nude mice were sacrificed in each group at 24 h after the initial irradiation. The expression of RNF2 at the mRNA and protein levels in transplanted tumor tissues was measured by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. The growth and tumor volume of the other nude mice in each group were observed. The cell apoptosis of transplanted tumor tissues was detected by TUNEL assay. The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax at the mRNA and protein levels in transplantated tumor tissues was quantitatively measured by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Results The tumor growth rate was the highest in the control and NC groups. The knockdown of RNF2 reduced the growth rate of xenografts and the tumor growth rate was the slowest in the RNF2 shRNA+ irradiation group ( P<0.05) . TUNEL assay revealed that the cell apoptosis rates in all groups were significantly increased after irradiation ( all P<0.05) . Before and after irradiation, the apoptosis rate in the RNF2 shRNA group was markedly higher than those in the control and NC groups ( both P<0.05) . Prior to irradiation, the expression levels of RNF2 mRNA and protein in the RNF2 shRNA group were significantly lower compared with those in the control and NC groups ( all P<0.05) , and the tendency became more significant after irradiation. Compared with the control and NC groups, the expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein were significantly down-regulated in the RNF2 shRNA group before and after irradiation ( all P<0.05) , whereas those of Bax mRNA and protein were considerably up-regulated ( all P<0.05 ) . Conclusions In vivo experiment demonstrates that RNF2 knockdown effectively increases the radiosensitivity of esophageal carcinoma EAC109 cells in nude mouse models with transplanted tumors, which is intimately associated with inducing the cell apoptosis.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of X-ray radiation on cell proliferation, migration, survival ability and cell cycle of human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after RNA interference-mediated down-regulation of HMGB1 gene expression. Methods: The expression of HMGB1 at mRNA and protein levels in the human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines ECA109 and KYSE30 was determined using RT-PCR and Western blot assays. MTS and Transwell assays were employed to examine the proliferation and migration of ECA109 and KYSE30 cell lines. The cellular survival ability in vitro was assessed by clone formation assay. The cell cycle after X-ray radiation in different groups was detected by flow cytometry. Results: The expression of HMGB1 at mRNA and protein levels in ECA109 and KYSE30 cells were markedly higher in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner in the radiation group than that in the control group (all P<0.05). MTS results demonstrated that the proliferation of ECA109 and KYSE30 cells was obviously lower at each time point after radiation than that in the group without radiation (all P<0.01). The expression of HMGB1 at mRNA and protein levels was significantly inhibited in the HMGB1 siRNA group than those in the control and NC groups (both P<0.01). The data from the clone formation assay revealed that the radiosensitivity was significantly increased after down-regulation of HMGB1 expression (P<0.01). Transwell migration assay revealed that the number of migrating cells at the fourth hour after X-ray irradiation in the HMGB1 siRNA group was significantly lower than those in the control and negative groups (both P<0.01). In the HMGB1 siRNA group, the percentage of cells at G₀/G₁ phase was obviously higher, whereas the percentage of S phase was significantly lower than those in the control and NC groups, and the trend was even more significant after X-ray radiation (all P<0.01). Conclusion Inhibition of HMGB1 expression by siRNA can suppress the proliferation and migration of ECA109 and KYSE30 cells and enhance the radiosensitivity by increasing the cell cycle arrest at G₀/G₁ stage after X-ray irradiation in vitro.
