Objective To investigate the role and action mechanism of rosemarinic acid(RA)on the malignant behavior of colorectal cancer(CRC)SW480 cells.Methods We collected tumor tissues from patients with primary untreated CRC who underwent surgery in People's Hospital of Rugao from January 2019 to December 2020,as well as colon tissues from normal individuals.The expression of β-catenin was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting to analyze its relationship with the clinical stage,prognosis,and immune infiltration.CCK-8 was used to detect the effects of 10,15 and 20 μmol/L of RA on the proliferation of SW480 cells;flow cytometry detected apoptosis;Transwell and scratch assay detected changes in the invasion and migration ability of the cells,respectively.Western blotting detected the expressions of proteins related to apoptosis,epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT),and Wnt/β-catenin pathway.A mouse model of CRC transplant tumor was established,and the effect of RA on the growth of transplant tumor was investigated by gavage administration.The levels of inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA.Results The expression of β-catenin was low in normal colon tissues and significantly higher in CRC tissues.In the CRC patients with high expression of β-catenin,the number of patients with tumors larger than 5 cm was significantly higher than that in the low expression group,whereas the overall survival of the patients was significantly smaller than that in the low expression group(P＜0.05).Cell proliferation was significantly inhibited and decreased in a concentration-dependent manner in the RA group at all concentrations(P＜0.05).In animal experiments,the expression of apoptotic proteins Bax and Bad was significantly increased and the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly decreased in the RA-treated group compared with the control group(P＜0.05).It was also found that the invasive and migratory ability of SW480 cells was significantly inhibited(P＜0.05),the expression of E-cadherin protein was significantly increased,the expression of Snail,N-cadherin and Vimentin was significantly reduced(P＜0.05),the expression of Axin and GSK-3β was increased,and the expression of β-catenin was reduced(P＜0.05).Conclusion RA may inhibit the biological activity of SW480 by interfering with Wnt/β-catenin pathway-mediated EMT.

Objective:To investigate the application of modified Hanley surgery in abscess of anal tube space (AATS), and its influences on anal function, interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6.Methods:The clinical data of 96 patients with AATS from February 2020 to February 2022 in Shaoxing Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 48 patients were treated with incision-thread drawing procedure (ITDP group), and 48 patients were treated with modified Hanley group (modified Hanley group). The curative effect, anal function, inflammatory factor level, neovascularization factor level and wound healing status were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the recovery rate between modified Hanley group and ITDP group: 100.00% (48/48) vs. 95.83% (46/48), χ2 = 0.51, P>0.05. The poor rate of anal function 2 months after surgery in modified Hanley group was significantly lower than that in ITDP group: 0 vs. 12.50% (6/48), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), IL-8 and IL-6 24 h after surgery in modified Hanley group were significantly lower than those in ITDP group: (127.11 ± 13.96) ng/L vs. (160.59 ± 11.57) ng/L, (92.20 ± 11.62) ng/L vs. (124.33 ± 12.05) ng/L and (79.38 ± 12.47) ng/L vs. (100.07 ± 12.50) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The monocyte chemotactic protein-1 1 week after surgery in modified Hanley group was significantly lower than that in ITDP group: (92.85 ± 14.63) ng/L vs. (122.90 ± 15.59) ng/L, the vascular endothelial growth factor-A and transforming growth factor-β 1 were significantly higher than those in ITDP group: (188.06 ± 22.53) ng/L vs. (137.80 ± 19.52) ng/L and (1 897.6 ± 97.3) ng/L vs. (1 608.6 ± 98.1) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The pain score, edema score and neonatal granulation score 7, 14 and 21 d after surgery in modified Hanley were significantly lower than those in ITDP group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Conclusions:In the treatment of AATS, the modified Hanley surgery not only contributes to the thorough removal of the lesions, but also plays a positive role in protecting the anal function, reducing the level of inflammation, and promoting the recovery of endothelial function.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of small incision floating line drainage for the treatment of high perianal abscess.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 95 patients with high perianal abscess treated at the Medical Community General Hospital of Shaoxing Central Hospital from April 2019 to April 2021. Among them, 47 cases were treated with small incision floating line drainage (experimental group), and 48 cases were treated with conventional multi incision drainage (control group). The surgical time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative pain, urination status, anal function evaluation, wound healing status and the clinical efficacy of the patient after 2 months of treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The surgical time, intraoperative bleeding volume in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group: (18.70 ± 0.48) min vs. (38.10 ± 2.52) min, (32.35 ± 3.56) ml vs. (51.56 ± 6.24) ml, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The postoperative pain, urination status, anal function evaluation in the experimental group were better than those in the control group. In the experimental group, multiple incision drainage had a greater impact on patients and the wound healing cycle was longer. After treatment for 2 months, the total effective rate in the experimental group was better than that in the control group: 100.00%(47/47) vs. 91.67%(44/48), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 4.09, P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with high perianal abscess and treated with small incision floating line drainage has a shorter wound healing cycle, less pain, lower anal damage, and better clinical efficacy.

[Objective] To investigate the inhibitory effect of quercetin on cisplatin-resistant human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells SW480 and SW620 and its possible mechanism. [Methods] Cisplatin-resistant subtypes of SW480 and SW620 cells were first cultured and the effects of quercetin on cell proliferation and chemosensitivity were determined by MTT assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis and protein blotting was used to detect the expressions of relevant proteins. [Results] MTT assay showed that quercetin at the concentrations of 80 μmol/L and 160 μmol/L significantly inhibited the proliferation of SW480 and SW620 cells. Flow cytometry results showed that the apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the cisplatin combined with quercetin group than in the other three groups. Protein blotting showed that cleaved-caspase-3 and caspase-9 expressions were significantly increased in the cisplatin combined with quercetin group. The chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity assay showed that the elevated IC50 of drug-resistant cells was decreased significantly after quercetin administration (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The present study clarifies that quercetin can increase the sensitivity of human CRC cells to cisplatin. This effect may be related to its mechanism of action in affecting cell proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy.

Objective:To study the expression of methyltransferase-like protein 14 (METTL14) in epithelial ovarian cancer and its clinical significance, and to explore the effect of METTL14 expression on the proliferation, invasion and migration of ovarian cancer cells.Methods:Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect METTL14 expression in tumor tissue samples, and analyze the relationships among METTL14 expression, clinicopathological factors, and prognosis in ovarian cancer. Lentiviral vectors and small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used to up-regulate and down-regulate the METTL14 expression in ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and SKOV3, respectively. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was used to detect the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) content in ovarian cancer cells. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), wound healing assay, and transwell assay were used to examine the function of METTL14 expression in the cells.Results:(1) The IHC score of METTL14 protein was 6.2±3.7 in 20 samples of ovarian cancer tissues and 3.3±2.5 in 15 samples of normal ovarian tissues, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.64, P=0.012). Among the patients who suffered from ovarian cancer, there were 69 cases with high expression of METTL14 protein (IHC score≥6), accounting for 57.0% (69/121), and the cases with low expression of METTL14 protein (IHC score<6) accounting for 43.0% (52/121). Compared with the patients with low expression of METTL14, the patients with high expression of METTL14 had later stages, higher rates of lymph node metastasis, abdominal metastasis, and more ascite amount. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The overall survival rate was significantly lower in patients with high METTL14 expression than the low expression ( P=0.009). (2) LC-MS/MS data showed that the relative expression of m6A in A2780 and SKOV3 cells in the lentivirus (LV)-METTL14 group were 0.213±0.024 and 0.181±0.018, which were significantly higher than those in the LV-normal control (NC) group (0.109±0.022 and 0.128±0.020; all P<0.05). While the relative expression of m6A in A2780 and SKOV3 cells in the si-METTL14 group were 0.063±0.012 and 0.069±0.015, which were significantly lower than the expression in si-NC group of 0.108±0.014 and 0.121±0.014 (all P<0.05). CCK-8 assay showed that the absorbance values were significantly lower in the si-METTL14 group compared with the si-NC group at 36, 48, 60 hours (all P<0.05); while were significantly increased in the LV-METTL14 group compared with the LV-NC group at 48, 60 hours (all P<0.01). Scratch wound assays showed that the migration rate of the si-METTL14 group was lower than those of the si-NC group, while the LV-METTL14 group were higher than the LV-NC group by 24 hours, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). Cell migration and invasion were detected by transwell migration and invasion assays. After cultivated for 24 hours, the invasion cell number and the migration cell number in the si-METTL14 group were less than those in the si-NC group. While the invasion cell number and the migration cell number in the LV-METTL14 group were more than those in the LV-NC group, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). Conclusion:Patients with high METTL14 expression have a worse prognosis in ovarian cancer, which may increase the m6A modification of ovarian cancer cells and promote cells proliferation, invasion and migration.

Objective:To study the clinical features of children with pertussis and the risk factors of severe pertussis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed based on clinical data and laboratory examination results of hospitalized children with pertussis who admitted to the intensive care unit, respiratory department, and emergency general department at Hunan Children′s Hospital from January 2019 to March 2020.According to the age, the patients were divided into age ≤3 months group( n=58)and age >3 months group( n=64). According to sputum culture, 63 cases were divided into negative sputum culture group and 59 cases were positive sputum culture group.The patients were also divided into vaccinated group( n=19)and unvaccinated group( n=103). Severe disease was seen in 28 cases, and the other 94 cases had the modest disease.The clinical characteristics between two groups were compared, and the risk factors of severe pertussis pneumonia were analyzed. Results:The hospitalization days in age ≤3 months group was higher than that in age >3 months group.It was also found that shortness of breath, apnea, cyanosis after coughing, heart rate decline were more common in age ≤3 months group than those in age >3 months group( P<0.05). The incidences of respiratory failure and heart failure in positive sputum culture group were higher than those in negative sputum culture group.Clinical characteristics such as hospitalization days, hospitalization expenses, peak white blood cell count, peak lymphocyte count, and incidence of bacterial infection were higher in severe pertussis group than those in non-severe pertussis group( P<0.05). Four patients were treated with exchange blood transfusion, and one patient died.Logistic regression analysis revealed that fever, wheezing, cyanosis after coughing and white blood cell count>20×10 9/L were risk factors for severe pertussis.White blood cell count of 20×10 9/L and lymphocyte count of 14×10 9/L had the highest sensitivity and specificity in predicting severe pertussis(0.71, 0.78; 0.54, 0.79). Conclusion:The younger the children are, the more likely they have shortness of breath, apnea, cyanosis, heart rate falls, and the longer the hospital stay.Bacterial infection will aggravate pertussis.Patients with fever, wheezing, cyanosis after coughing, and white blood cell count>20×10 9/L are more likely to develop severe pertussis.The white blood cell count >20×10 9/L and the lymphocyte count >14×10 9/L are associated with severe pertussis.

Objective:To analyze the metabolic status of forest encephalitis patients, research the effect of forest encephalitis on lipid metabolism, and clarify the possible pathogenesis.Methods:Based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), lipidomics analysis was performed in 50 patients with tick-borne encephalitis and 39 healthy samples from Hulunbuir region. The patients′ serum samples were analyzed by utilizing the multivariate statistical analysis method such as principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA).Results:A total of 465 peaks were detected in the samples, and metabolites such as phospholipids and glycerides were identified. To identify the significant differential metabolites ( P<0.01, VIP>1, FC>2), a total of 26 biomarkers were screened, which phospholipids tend to be upregulated[log 2(Fold change)>0], such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE); while glycerides tend to be decreased[log 2(Fold change)<0], such as diacylglycerol (DAG) and triacylglycerol (TAG), and those metabolites were closely related to anti-inflammatory and other metabolic pathways. The AUC value of potential biomarkers obtained was 0.999, which could be used for diagnosis of disease group and healthy group. Conclusions:The study showed that phospholipid metabolism and glyceride metabolism pathways would have some change after human infected by virus, and the differential metabolites could be used as potential markers for the diagnosis of tick-borne encephalitis, which provide a theoretical basis for disease research.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in severe adenovirus pneumonia, and to evaluate the application value of ECMO in children with severe adenovirus pneumonia.Methods:Children diagnosed with severe adenovirus pneumonia and intervened with ECMO in the Hunan Children′s Hospital from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 were recruited in this study for analyzing.The gender, age, clinical manifestations, mechanical ventilation duration, ECMO duration, the length of hospital stay, complications and prognosis were collected and analyzed.Results:A total of 4 children were included in the study, involving 2 cases were successfully evacuated from ECMO.Finally, 3 children died, and 1 case survived.Three death cases had a longer than 18 days of duration from the onset to the start with ECMO.Their ventilator assist time before star-ting ECMO was 3-5 days, and ECMO intervention time was longer, with the maximum of 27.5 days.The survived case had an 11-day duration from the onset to the start with ECMO, and the ventilator assisted time and ECMO intervention time were 5 days, and less than 10 days, respectively.Conclusions:ECMO treatment for children with severe adenovirus pneumonia has a low success rate, but it is still the most important way to save children.Early application of ECMO can improve the prognosis of children with severe adenovirus pneumonia.

Objective:To summary the mixed infection as well as clinical characteristics and analyze the risk factors for mixed infection of severe adenovirus pneumonia(SAP) in children.Methods:The clinical data of 114 children with SAP were retrospectively analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the risk factors for mixed infection.Results:The incidence age was from 6 months to 2 years(62.5%). High fever(94.7%), cough(98.2%), dyspnea(86.8%) and lethargy(95.6%) were the main symptoms.Laboratory examination showed that children with SAP were prone to increased white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and CK-MB, as well as decreased proportion of CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD4 + /CD8 + and NK cells.The main complications intrapulmonary organ were respiratory failure(80.7%). The main complications extrapulmonary organ were circulatory complications (55.3%). SAP was easily combined with other pathogenic infections.Streptococcus pneumoniae(22.9%)was the most common bacterial pathogen.Respiratory syncytial virus(10.0%)were the most common virus, in addition, mycoplasma pneumoniae(17.1%) was also common.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the decreasing ratio of CD4 + /CD8 + and NK cells, congenital heart disease and congenital airway dysplasia were the independent risk factors for mixed infection of SAP in children( P<0.05). Conclusion:The SAP patients could easily suffer from mixed infection and high fatality rate.Immune dysregulation is the important risk factors for mixed infection of SAP in children.So immunoregulatory treatment is very important.
