Objective To investigate the role and biological mechanism of exosomal miRNA-141-3p in inducing the proliferation and invasion of prostate cancer(PCa)cells.Methods The expression level of miR-NA-141-3p in tumor tissues and adjacent tissues from 33 PCa patients,as well as in exosomes of human PCa cells VCap and normal prostate cells RWPE-2,was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR).The di-rect target of miRNA-141-3p was predicted through bioinformatic analysis and verified using a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay.miRNA-141-3p inhibitor plasmid(miRNA-141-3p inhibitor group)and negative control plasmid(negative control group)were transfected into human PCa cells VCap via lipofection.Cell prolifera-tion,migration,and invasion abilities in the miRNA-141-3p inhibitor group and negative control group were detected using MTT assay,wound healing assay,and Transwell assay,respectively.The mRNA expression levels of PHLPP2,E-Cadherin,and Vimentin were measured by qPCR,and the protein expression levels by Western blot,in VCap and RWPE-2 cells as well as in the miRNA-141-3p inhibitor group and negative control group.Results The expression level of exosomal miRNA-141-3p in tumor tissues was significantly higher than in adjacent tissues(P<0.05).Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that PHLPP2 is the direct target gene of miRNA-141-3p.The expression levels of exosomal PHLPP2,E-Cadherin mRNA and protein in VCap cells were lower than in RWPE-2 cells,while the expression levels of Vimentin mRNA and protein were high-er than in RWPE-2 cells,with statistically significant intergroup differences(P=0.012).In the miR-141-3p inhibitor group,exosomal miR-141-3p,Vimentin mRNA expression level,cell proliferation rate(MTS assay),migrating cell count(scratch assay),and transmembrane cell count(Transwell invasion assay)were signifi-cantly decreased compared to the negative control group,while PHLPP2 mRNA and E-Cadherin mRNA ex-pression levels were significantly increased,with statistically significant intergroup differences(P<0.05).Conclusion miR-141-3p promotes proliferation and migration of human PCa cells by targeting PHLPP2.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of behavioral problems and self-concept level in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)accompanying anxiety disorder.Methods:With stratified random sampling method,a sampling survey was made in 9495 children(aged 5~17 years)from 6 regions of Hunan province together.Using the two stage epidemiologic research method,three groups,including control group(214 cases),pure ADHD(219 cases)and ADHD accompanying anxiety disorder(111 cases)were determined as the subjects.All the subjects completed the Children's Self-Concept Scale(CSCS),and the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist(CBCL)was completed by their parents.Results:(1)Compared to the control group,the pure ADHD group scored higher in CBCL [e.g.,the total score:(30.35±24.32)vs.(16.97±14.86)],and scored lower in CSCS [e.g.,total score:(50.85±9.98)vs.(57.46±10.80),P<0.05].(2)Compared to the control group,children with ADHD accompanying anxiety disorder scored higher in CBCL [e.g.,total score:(41.66±28.07),P<0.01],and in CSCS except physical activities(Ps<0.05).(3)Compared to the pure ADHD group,ADHD accompanying anxiety disorder group scored higher in CBCL and lower in CSCS[behavior:(10.44±3.17)vs.(11.55±2.80);anxiety:(8.06±2.61)vs.(9.21±2.61),gregariousness:(7.42±2.22)vs.(8.16±1.89);total score:(47.25±9.93)vs.(50.85±9.98);Ps<0.05].Conclusion:ADHD children have more behavioral problems and lower level of self-concept than normal children,and children with ADHD accompanying anxiety disorder have more prominent presence of behavioral problems and lower self-concept rating than children with pure ADHD.

Objective To supply the foundation of Shuyuwan as drug curing on wounded stress disease, by exploring its immunity pharmacology. Methods The effect of the Shuyuwan upon the wounded stress mice IL-2 mRNA and IL-2R mRNA gene expression were detected by Q-RT-PCR. Results The Shuyuwan used in the wounded stress mice can improve IL-2 mRNA and IL-2R mRNA level significantly (P
