Objective This study aimed to explore the effect of pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1(PTT-G1)on the invasion and proliferation of oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)cell lines under the action of miR-362-3p.Methods The bioinformatics online database was used to query the expression of PTTG1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC).The expression of PTTG1 in the Cal-27,HN-30,and HOK cell lines was detected by Western blot.A wound-healing assay was used to determine the effect of PTTG1 on the migration ability of the OSCC cells.The Transwell assay was used to examine the changes in cell-invasion ability.5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)cell-proliferation assay was used to detect changes in cell-proliferation ability.Bioinformatics approach predicted the upstream miRNA of PTTG1.The targeting relationship between miR-362-3p and PTTG1 was examined by the dual luciferase assay,and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to determine the expression of miRNA in OSCC tissues.Results The ENCORI database showed that PTTG1 expression was up-regulated in OSCC tissues.Western blot confirmed that PTTG1 expression was up-regulated in Cal-27 and HN-30 cells than HOK cells.PTTG1 knockout can inhibit the migration,invasion,and prolif-eration of Cal-27 and HN-30 cells(P<0.05).Bioinformatics prediction websites predicted that the upstream miRNA of PTTG1 was miR-362-3p,and PTTG1 can bind to miR-362-3p.Results of qRT-PCR showed that miR-362-3p expression was downregulated in OSCC tissues compared with normal tissue(P<0.05).Transwell and EdU experiments confirmed that miR-362-3p knockdown can promote the invasion and proliferation of Cal-27 and HN-30 after PTTG1 knockdown.Conclusion miR-362-3p can inhibit the invasion and proliferation of Cal-27 and HN-30 cells by targeting PTTG1.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical application of urine sediment score (USS) in early diagnosis, etiological differentiation, staging and prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI), and to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of independent USS and its combination with blood urea nitrogen(Bun) serum creatinine(sCr) and uric acid(UA) in AKI.Methods:From August 23 to September 28, 2023, 9 020 morning urine samples of hospitalized patients in the First Hospital of Jilin University were detected by Sysmex UF5000.A total of 3 226 ssamples with small and round cell (SRC) > 1/μl and/or CAST>1/μl were screened for microscopic examination, and 404 cases with positive renal tubular epithelial cells and/or cast were enrolled in this study. There were 218 males and 186 females, aged 59.5 (49.0, 71.0) years. The 404 cases were divided into the USS AKI group (345 cases) and the USS non-AKI group (59 cases) according to the USS results based on the microscopic findings. According to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, they were divided into KDIGO criteria AKI group (63 cases) and KDIGO criteria non-AKI group (341 cases), and the AKI group was divided into renal AKI group (33 cases) and non-renal AKI group (30 cases). According to the clinical diagnosis recorded in the medical records, they were divided into clinically diagnosed AKI group (29 cases) and clinically diagnosed non-AKI group (375 cases).The χ 2 test or Fisher exact test was used to compare USS in different AKI causes and stages. Logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratio of renal AKI and stage 3 AKI. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of USS, sCr, UA and Bun alone and in combination in the diagnosis of AKI, and the best cut-off value, sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of AKI were calculated. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:The USS was used to identify the etiology of KDIGO standard AKI group,and there were significant differences in USS between renal AKI group and non-renal AKI group (χ 2=11.070, P<0.001). Compared to USS=1, the odds ratio of renal AKI was 8.125 when USS≥2 (95% CI 2.208—29.901). There was a statistically significant difference in the comparison of USS between groups in each stage of the AKI staging study based on USS (χ 2=15.724, P<0.05). Compared to USS=1, the odds ratio of stage 3 AKI was 9.714 when USS≥2 (95% CI 1.145-82.390). The AUC of independent USS in the diagnosis of AKI was 0.687 (95% CI 0.618-0.757, P<0.001), the specificity was 65.7% and the sensitivity was 61.9%. The AUC of USS combined with Bun, sCr, UA in the diagnosis of AKI was 0.794 (95% CI 0.608-0.980, P<0.05), the specificity was 82.4%, and the sensitivity was 88.9%. Conclusions:There wasan increased likelihood of renal AKI or stage 3 AKI while USS≥2,and whose combination with Bun, sCr and UA will improve the diagnostic efficiency of AKI.

The biomimetic strategy of using the cell membrane-coated nanoparticles can retain the physical and chemical properties of the nanoparticles and show the biological characteristics of the source cell membrane, which can further enhance the role of the nanodrug in tumor treatment. A hybrid cell membrane is the fusion of two or more different types of cell membranes. A hybrid cell membrane can endow nanoparticles with multiple biofunctions derived from the source cells compared with a single cell membrane. Hybrid cell membranes provide a foundation to stimulate extensive research into multifunctional biomimetic nano-drug delivery system (NDDS), which is expected to broaden the application of biomimetic nanotechnology in drug delivery systems. In this review paper, the types of hybrid cell membrane used to construct nano-drug delivery systems, the preparation and characterization methods, and cancer treatment research progress in recent years were reviewed.

Ectopic pregnancy is a common gynecological acute abdomen disease. Once the pregnant tissue is ruptured, it will rapidly develop into hemorrhagic shock or even death. In recent years, blood transfusion from the body is widely used in the rescue of intra-abdominal hemorrhage of ectopic pregnancy, which can reduce the time of cross matching and blood collection, reduce the risk of allogeneic blood transfusion, and enable patients with hemorrhagic shock to receive timely and effective treatment. Hemolysis caused by autologous blood transfusion is rarely reported. Once hemolysis occurs, if it is not handled in time, severe cases can occur acute renal injury, hyperkalemia, or cardiac arrest or even sudden death. We retrospectively analyzed the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with hemolysis after autologous blood transfusion, suggesting that the adverse reactions of blood transfusion occur not only in allogeneic blood transfusion, but also in autologous blood transfusion. It should be handled reasonably in clinical work to reduce the occurrence of similar complications.

Objective:To analyze the differentally expressed long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) among mice of different ages and explore the mechanism of kidney aging.Methods:Male C57BL/6 mice aged 3-month-old ( n=5), 12-month-old ( n=5) and 24-month-old ( n=5) (each weighting about 25 g) were randomly selected. PAS staining, Masson staining and senescence associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining were used to detect the pathology and cell senescence of mice kidney. High throughput sequencing was performed to detect the differentially expressed lncRNA and their fragments per kilobase million. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to verify the differentially expressed lncRNA. Competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, which consisted of lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA was built. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis method were used to predict the biological function of differentially expressed lncRNA. Results:PAS staining and Masson staining showed the development of kidney fibrosis, and SA-β-gal staining positive region was increased significantly as age increased. There were 938 known lncRNA and 542 novel lncRNA differentially expressed among different ages' mouse kidney. Compared with 3-month-old mice, 33 lncRNA were up-regulated and 43 lncRNA were down-regulated in 12-month-old mice. Compared with 3-month-old mice, 130 lncRNA were up-regulated and 91 lncRNA were down-regulated in 24-month-old mice. Compared with 12-month-old mice, 36 lncRNA were up-regulated and 22 lncRNA were down-regulated in 24-month-old mice. The results of qRT-PCR about verified 10 lncRNAs with larger differential expression multiples and higer expression levels were consistent with the sequencing data. GO enrichment analysis showed that the target genes of lncRNA differentially expressed in the three groups were mostly located in the nucleus and cytoplasm, and might play a role by binding to proteins or participate in various protein phosphorylation, cell cycle, transcription, transcription regulation and other processes. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the target genes of lncRNA differentially expressed in the three group were significantly enriched in Rap1 signaling pathway, FOXO signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway, which were closely related to kidney aging.Conclusion:There are significant differences in expression of lncRNA among the kidney of different ages mice, which are involved in the occurrence of renal senescence.

The rapid development of point-of-care testing (POCT) in clinical laboratories has brought challenges to the unified management in the hospital. There are many problems, such as how to ensure the ability and qualification of POCT operators, how to improve the quality management awareness of human, machines, materials, methods and environment in the process of POCT in clinical laboratories, how to help the clinical laboratories in the hospital to carry out POCT comparison, and how to strengthen the information construction of POCT in the hospital. Thus, this article reviews the practice and experience of POCT management in our hospital on POCT quality assurance and the problems existing in POCT in clinical departments, proposes suggestions and solutions to strengthen the unified management of POCT in clinical laboratories and establish POCT quality management documents and to improve quality awareness. We hope to provide references for hospital administrators, medical departments, nursing departments, quality control departments and other functional departments on the quality management of POCT in the hospital, and find helpful answers to the puzzles of clinical laboratory in POCT, so as to make joint efforts to standardize the quality management of POCT in the hospital to ensure the accuracy of testing results.

Objective:To conduct periodic revalidation of the 15 items and 43 terms autoverification rules of blood analysis after 1 year of application, analyze the application suitability and make the rules improved.Methods:Track the results of 528 010 blood analysis samples of our hospital from August 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020, and analyze the pass rate and interception rate of autoverification; 600 specimens in total were selected randomly for microscope examination, including 300 specimens which touched autoverification rules (1 012 items of autoverification rules) and were intercepted by autoverification and 300 specimens which untouched autoverification rules and were released by autoverification. The abnormal characteristics and unacceptable Delta check of the specimens also need to be concerned at the same time.The false negative rate and false positive rate, true negative rate, true positive rate and pass correct rate of autoverification were verified and compared with the rate of the second phase verification when the autoverification rule was established. The false negative rate, false positive rate, true negative rate and true positive rate of the Delta check rule which 54 716 specimens touched were calculated and compared with the second phase verification rate when the autoverification rule was established.The results of microscopic examination were used as the gold standard for the calculation of the rates, and P<0.05 was considered as a significant difference. The false positive and true positive of 1 012 autoverification rules were analyzed item by item.The false positive and true positive of 108 specimens which touched blast cell autoverification rule were analyzed terms by terms. The mean TAT and median TAT of 528 010 specimens and 193 750 outpatient specimens were calculated respectively, and the report percentages of 528 010 samples that TAT<30, 30-60　and>60 min were calculated respectively. Analyze and evaluate the application suitability of autoverification rules to juge whether they meet the needs of doctors and laboratory. The design process and the rules and application process of autoverification were optimized and improved.Results:The autoverification pass rate was 63.06% (332 971/528 010), the interception rate was 36.94% (195 039/528 010). The false negative rate was 1.00% (1/600), the false positive rate was 12.67% (76/600), the true negative rate was 49% (294/600), the true positive rate was 37.33% (224/600), and the correct rate was 98% (294/300). The pass rate, true negative rate, true positive rate and correct rate of the periodic reverification group were higher than the second phase verification group, the false negative rate and false positive rate were lower than that the second phase verification group. The false negative rate and true positive rate of the Delta check of periodic verification group were lower than that the second phase verification group, the false positive rate and true negative rate were higher than the second phase verification group, there were significant differences in the comparition results. The mean TAT of 528 010 specimens was25 min, and the median TAT was 22 min. The mean TAT of 193 750 outpatient specimens was 23 min, and the median TAT was 20 min. The report percentages of 528 010 samples that TAT<30 min, 30 min-60 min and>60 min were 83.30% (439 819/528 010), 8.00% (42 250/528 010) and 8.70% (45 941/528 010), respectively.Conclusion:The results of periodic revalidation of autoverification after 1 years application show that the 15 items and 43 terms autoverification rules of blood analysis could meet requirements about the accuracy and efficiency of the laboratory, and have a good suitability for application.

Objective:To explore the association between maternal passive smoking during perinatal period and congenital heart disease (CHD) in their offspring.Methods:A case-control study was designed. Data being used was based on a case-control study of congenital heart disease collected in Shaanxi province from January 2014 to December 2016. Cases under this study were perinatal infants diagnosed as CHD from 28 weeks of gestation to 7 days after birth, and fetus less than 28 weeks of gestation but diagnosed as CHD by ultrasonography. The controls would include newborn infants without any birth defects, born at the same period of the cases. Logistic regression model with confounding factors adjusted was established to analyze the association between maternal passive smoking status during perinatal period and CHD in their offspring. Subgroup analysis was carried out to explore its stability.Results:A total of 2 259 subjects, consisting 695 cases and 1 564 controls were included in this study. Passive smokers accounted for 26.76 % in the case group while only 6.01 % in the control group. After adjusting for related confounding factors, the risk of CHD in the offspring of passive smokers was 3.32 times higher than that of the non-passive smokers ( OR=3.32, 95 %CI: 2.41-4.56), during the perinatal period. Results also showed that related risk accumulated with the increase of exposure frequency to passive smoking. For mothers who smoked passively for 1-3 days per week, the risk of CHD in their offspring was 2.75 times higher than that of those non-passive smokers ( OR=2.75, 95 %CI: 1.62-4.66). For mothers who smoked passively for more than 3 days per week, the risk was 3.62 times higher than the non-passive smokers ( OR=3.62, 95 %CI: 2.48-5.29). Data from the subgroup analysis showed that the association between maternal passive smoking during perinatal period and CHD in their offspring appeared stable. Conclusions:Maternal passive smoking during perinatal period seemed a risk factor for congenital heart disease related to their offspring. Pregnant women should avoid exposure to second-hand smoke as much as possible, so as to prevent the harm from passive smoking.

Objectives:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and levels of vitamin B 12 and folate as well as their relationship in women awaiting delivery, in Shaanxi province. Methods:Data were collected from healthy pregnant women who gave birth at six top hospitals in Shaanxi, from January 2014 to December 2016. Blood samples were taken prenatally to determine the levels of vitamin B 12 and folate. Quantile regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the levels of vitamin B 12 and folates in women awaiting delivery. Results:A total of 1 277 women awaiting delivery were included in this study. Among them, the median level of serum vitamin B 12 was 164.7 pg/ml, in women at late pregnancy, with the deficiency rate as 69.6%, while the median level of serum folate was 7.6 ng/ml, with the deficiency rate as 12.1%. 58.4% of these women presented simple vitamin B 12 deficiency and 0.9% with simple folate deficiency. Women living in rural areas showed lower levels of both vitamin B 12 and folate than the women from the urban areas. Both the levels of vitamin B 12 and folate increased with age but were significantly lower in women under the age of 25. Among those with or without folate deficiency, the average difference in the levels of vitamin B 12 was 37.62 pg/ml. Quantile regression models showed that the vitamin B 12 levels in women with folate deficiency were significantly lower than those without, despite the different levels of vitamin B 12. This difference appeared increasing along with the increase of the vitamin B 12 levels. Conclusions:Our data showed that both vitamin B 12 and folate were deficient in women awaiting delivery, in Shaanxi. We suggest that vitamin B 12 should also be added into the folic acid supplementation program, together with the reinforcement on health education program to improve the awareness of nutrient supplementation in rural and young women. Hopefully, these strategies could increase the levels of both vitamin B 12 and folate, in the province.

Objective: To explore the clinical implications and prognostic value of TP53 gene mutation and deletion in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) . Methods: 112-gene targeted sequencing and interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were used to detect TP53 mutation and deletion in 584 patients with newly diagnosed primary MDS who were admitted from October 2009 to December 2017. The association of TP53 mutation and deletion with several clinical features and their prognostic significance were analyzed. Results: Alterations in TP53 were found in 42 (7.2%) cases. Of these, 31 (5.3%) cases showed TP53 mutation only, 8 (1.4%) cases in TP53 deletion only, 3 (0.5%) cases harboring both mutation and deletion. A total of 37 mutations were detected in 34 patients, most of them (94.6%) were located in the DNA binding domain (exon5-8) , the remaining 2 were located in exon 10 and splice site respectively. Patients with TP53 alterations harbored significantly more mutations than whom without alterations (z=-2.418, P=0.016) . The median age of patients with TP53 alterations was higher than their counterparts[60 (21-78) years old vs 52 (14-83) years old, z=-2.188, P=0.029]. TP53 alterations correlated with complex karyotype and International prognostic scoring system intermediate-2/high significantly (P<0.001) . Median overall survival of patients with TP53 alterations was shorter than the others[13 (95%CI 7.57-18.43) months vs not reached, χ²=12.342, P<0.001], while the significance was lost during complex karyotype adjusted analysis in multivariable model. Conclusion TP53 mutation was more common than deletion in MDS patients. The majority of mutations were located in the DNA binding domain. TP53 alterations were strongly associated with complex karyotype and always coexisted with other gene mutations. TP53 alteration was no longer an independent prognostic factor when complex karyotype were occurred in MDS.
