Objective To screen the differential expression profile of circ_RNA in OSCC and to elucidate the molecular mechanism of circ_PVT1 on OSCC carcinogenesis.Methods The transcripts of 3 cases of OSCC and normal tissues were sequenced by high-throughput sequencing using circ_RNA expression profile chip,and the differential gene expression profiles were screened,and GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed.The expression level of PVT1 in OSCC tissues,human normal oral mucosal cells and OSCC cells was detected by qRT-PCR.The effect of PVT1 on the biological behavior of SCC-25 and SCC-9 cells was evaluated by MTT exper-iment,Transwell experiment and flow cytometry.The effect of PVT1 on the expression of key proteins in the Wnt3a/β-catenin pathway was evaluated by Western blot.The relationship between the expression of PVT1 and clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis of patients was further studied.Results A total of 403 differentially expressed circ_RNAs were screened by the chip,and the differen-tially expressed genes were enriched in pathways related to cancer progression.PVT1 was highly expressed in OSCC tissues and cells.Silencing PVT1 expression could inhibit the activation of the Wnt3a/β-catenin pathway,thereby effectively inhibiting the proliferation,migration,invasion and cell cycle of SCC-25 and SCC-9 cells and promoting apoptosis.PVT1 expression was only associated with lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis in patients,and those with high expression had a shorter PFS.Conclusion PVT1 promotes the progression of OSCC by regulating the activation of Wnt3a/β-catenin pathway.The research results provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of OSCC.

OBJECTIVE To investigate of the regulatory effects of Budi Shenlian Recipe on gut microbiota and the phenotypic transition of tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)in colorectal cancer(CRC)mice.METHODS Forty male BALB/c mice were divided into blank control group,model group,positive control group,high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group,and low-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group(n=8).CRC-bearing models were established by subcutaneous injection of CT26 cells.Additionally,10 male BALB/c mice were divided into the Budi Shenlian Recipe fecal microbiota transplantation(BFMT)group and model fecal microbiota transplantation(MFMT)group(n=5).The gut microbiota of these mice was cleared using a mixed solution of quadruple antibiotics,followed by subcutaneous injection of CT26 cells to construct pseudo-germ-free CRC-bearing mice.Fecal samples from the model group and high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group were collected to prepare fecal microbiota solutions.The BFMT group received gavage with fecal microbiota solution from the high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group,while the MFMT group received gavage with fecal micro-biota solution from the model group.Tumor volume changes were observed and recorded.HE staining was used to assess pathological changes in tumor tissues.16S sequencing was performed to analyze changes in gut microbiota.Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining were used to evaluate the proportion of M1/M2 type TAMs in tumor tissues.ELISA was used to detect differences in TNF-α and IL-10 levels in tumor tissues.RESULTS Compared to the model group,the tumor volume of mice in the positive control group,high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group,and low-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group grew more slowly(P<0.01).HE staining showed necrotic areas in tumor tissues and reduced mitotic figures in the positive control and Budi Shenlian Recipe groups compared to the model group.16S rRNA sequencing showed no significant differences in Chao1 and ACE indices between the high-dose Budi Shenlian Recipe group and the model group.PCoA analysis indicated a distinct microbial community structure between the blank group and mod-el group,with the microbial structure of CRC mice in the Budi Shenlian Recipe group closer to that of the blank group.Compared to the blank group,the model group showed a significant decrease in the proportion of Muribaculaceae,Muribaculum,Alloprevotella,and Prevotellaceae_UCG-001,and a significant increase in Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group,Bacteroides,and Helicobacter.After admin-istering Budi Shenlian Recipe to CRC mice,the community structure of some mice partially reverted to the level of the blank group.Transcriptome sequencing revealed that the most significant biological process(BP)among upregulated genes was the negative regulation of macrophage migration,suggesting that Budi Shenlian Recipe can reduce macrophage migration.Moreover,compared to the model group,the proportion of TAMs cells in the tumor tissues of the Budi Shenlian Recipe group significantly decreased(P<0.001).Simultaneously,compared to the model group,the proportion of M1 type TAMs in the Budi Shenlian Recipe group significant-ly increased(P<0.000 1),while the proportion of M2 type TAMs significantly decreased(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence analysis showed the same trend as flow cytometry.The content of TNF-α in tumor tissues of the Budi Shenlian Recipe group significantly in-creased(P<0.001),and IL-10 content significantly decreased(P<0.001).Additionally,compared to the MFMT group,the tumor volume in the BFMT group grew more slowly(P<0.0001).HE staining showed increased necrotic areas,sparser cell arrangement,and reduced pathological mitosis in the BFMT group.Furthermore,compared to the MFMT group,the proportion of TAMs cells in the tumor tissues of the BFMT group significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared to the MFMT group,the proportion of M1 type TAMs cells in the BFMT group increased(P<0.000 1),while the proportion of M2 type TAMs cells decreased(P<0.01).Immunofluores-cence analysis further confirmed that Budi Shenlian Recipe fecal microbiota transplantation can reduce the proportion of TAMs in the tumor tissues of CRC mice and promote the conversion from M2 to M1 type,thereby reducing immune suppression in the tumor micro-environment.CONCLUSION Budi Shenlian Recipe can improve gut microbiota dysbiosis in CRC mice and exert anti-CRC effects by reducing tumor infiltration of TAMs and modulating the phenotypic transition of TAMs.There may be a certain correlation between these two effects.

RNA binding motif protein 8A(RBM8A)is an RNA binding protein,which is mainly in-volved in translation and cell cycle regulation.In addition,RBM8A is a core factor of the exon-junc-tion complex(EJC),which is highly expressed in cells,especially in cancer cells,and abnormally expressed in cytoplasm and nucleus.Studies have shown that RBM8A plays a key regulatory role in the replication process of some viruses,such as Flaviviridae viruses.Therefore,whether RBM8A is involved in the replication of pseudorabies virus(PRV)is unknown.Therefore,this study proved whether RBM8A is involved in the replication of PRV.In order to study the effect of RBM8A pro-tein on PRV replication,the eukaryotic expression plasmid pCAGGS-HA-RBM8A was designed and constructed to express RBM8A,and sh-RBM8A was simultaneously designed and constructed to overexpress and inhibit RBM8A.qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the effect of RBM8A on PRV replication.At the same time,PRV-GB standard plasmid was constructed to make PRV proliferation standard curve.After overexpression and inhibition of RBM8A,DNA was ex-tracted.Virus copy number was calculated by qRT-PCR to further detect the effect of RBM8A on PRV replication.The results showed that overexpression of RBM8A inhibited PRV replication and decreased the copy number of the virus,while overexpression of shRBM8A promoted PRV replication and increased the copy number of the virus.This study shows that RBM8A can inhibit PRV replication,which provides reference for the functional study of RBM8A and lays a founda-tion for the mechanism of anti-PRV replication.

Objective To compare the benefits and drawbacks of primary patch expansion versus pericardial tube right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection in patients diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD). Methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with PA/VSD who underwent primary right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection surgery at our center between 2010 and 2020. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the type of right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection: a pericardial tube group and a patch expansion group. Clinical data and imaging findings were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 51 patients were included in the study, comprising 31 males and 20 females, with a median age of 12.57 (4.57, 49.67) months. The pericardial tube group included 19 patients with a median age of 17.17 (7.33, 49.67) months, while the patch expansion group consisted of 32 patients with a median age of 8.58 (3.57, 52.72) months. In both groups, the diameter of pulmonary artery, McGoon index, and Nakata index significantly increased after treatment (P<0.001). However, the pericardial tube group exhibited a longer extracorporeal circulation time (P<0.001). The reoperation rate was notably high, with 74.51% of patients requiring further surgical intervention, including 26 (81.25%) patients in the patch expansion group and 12 (63.16%) patients in the pericardial tube group. No statistical differences were observed in long-term cure rates or mortality between the two groups (P>0.005). Conclusion In patients with PA/VSD, both patch expansion and pericardial tube right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection serve as effective initial palliative treatment strategies that promote pulmonary vessel development and provide a favorable foundation for subsequent radical operations. However, compared to the pericardial tube approach, the patch expansion technique is simpler to perform and preserves some intrinsic potential for pulmonary artery development, making it the preferred procedure.
