ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of mitotically-associated long non-coding RNA (lncRNA MANCR) on the proliferation,migration, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric cancer (GC) cells by regulating the microRNA-50-5p (miR-150-5p)/non-metastatic melanoprotein B (GPNMB) axis. MethodsThe mRNA expressions of lncRNA MANCR,miR-150-5p, and GPNMB in 42 cases of GC tissue and adjacent tissue resected during surgery in the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from June 2022 to September 2023 were detected by Real-time PCR. Human gastric mucosal epithelial cells GES-1 and human GC cells BGC-823 were cultured in vitro, and their lncRNA MANCR expression was detected. BGC-823 cells were randomly separated into control group (routine culture),sh-NC group (with sh-NC transfected),sh-MANCR group (with sh-MANCR transfected),sh-MANCR + anti-NC group (with sh-MANCR and anti-NC both transfected),and sh-MANCR + anti-miR-150-5p group (with sh-MANCR and anti-miR-150-5p both transfected). The mRNA expressions of lncRNA MANCR,miR-150-5p, and GPNMB in the BGC-823 cells of all groups were analyzed. EdU staining was used to detect the proliferation of BGC-823 cells. Transwell assay was used to detect the migration and invasion of BGC-823 cells. The expressions of EMT-related proteins E-cadherin,N-cadherin,Vimentin, and GPNMB were detected by Western blot. The interactions between lncRNA MANCR and miR-150-5p and between miR-150-5p and GPNMB were analyzed by dual luciferase reporter assay. ResultsThe mRNA expressions of lncRNA MANCR and GPNMB in GC tissue were higher than those in adjacent tissue,and the expression of miR-150-5p was lower than that in adjacent tissue (P<0.05). Compared with that in GES-1,lncRNA MANCR expression in BGC-823 cells was increased (P<0.05). Compared with those in the sh-NC group and control group,the EdU-positive cell rate,migration number,invasion number,the mRNA expressions of lncRNA MANCR and GPNMB, and the expressions of protein,N-cadherin protein, and Vimentin protein in the BGC-823 cells in the sh-MANCR group were lower ,and the protein expressions of miR-150-5p and E-cadherin were higher (P<0.05). Compared with those in the sh-MANCR group and the sh-MANCR + anti-NC group,the protein expressions of miR-150-5p and E-cadherin in the sh-MANCR + anti-miR-150-5p group were decreased. The EdU-positive cell rate,migration number,invasion number,mRNA expressions of GPNMB, and expressions of protein,N-cadherin protein, and Vimentin protein were increased (P<0.05). lncRNA MANCR could target the negative regulation of miR-150-5p,and miR-150-5p could target the negative regulation of GPNMB. ConclusionKnockout of lncRNA MANCR can inhibit the proliferation,migration, and EMT of GC cells by regulating the miR-150-5p/GPNMB axis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of baseline red cell distribution width (RDW) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level after ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) treatment for one month in predicting the response to UDCA treatment in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the data of 127 patients with PBC who were diagnosed in Department of Hepatology, The Third People’s Hospital of Jiangsu University, from January 2015 to July 2022, with data collected at baseline, after one month of treatment, and after one year of follow-up. Based on the Paris-I criteria, the patients were divided into good response group and poor response group, and the two groups were analyzed in terms of clinical and laboratory features and their association with response to UDCA. The Logistic regression method was used to investigate the independent risk factors for response to UDCA treatment. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to determine the optimal cut-off values of related indicators; the patients were divided into two groups based on such values, and the two groups were compared in terms of baseline indicators and response. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsCompared with the good response group, the poor response group had significantly higher levels of total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase, ALP, RDW, and RDW-CV at baseline and a significantly higher level of ALP after one month of UDCA treatment (Z=-4.792, -3.697, -2.399, -4.102, -3.220, and -4.236, all P<0.05). Compared with the good response group, the poor response group had significantly lower levels of albumin, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, hematocrit, and body mass index at baseline (Z=-3.592, -3.603, -2.602, -3.829, -2.432, all P<0.05), as well as significantly lower levels of prealbumin, albumin/globulin ratio, apolipoprotein A, and free triiodothyronine at baseline (t=4.530, 3.402, 3.485, and 3.639, all P<0.001). Compared with the poor response group, the good response group had a significantly lower proportion of patients with liver cirrhosis, gallstones/cholecystitis, or anemia (χ2=20.815, 3.892, and 12.283, all P<0.05). Baseline RDW (odds ratio [OR]=1.157, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.028 — 1.301, P=0.015) and ALP level after one month of treatment (OR=1.012, 95%CI: 1.005 — 1.020, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for response to UDCA, with an AUC of 0.713 and 0.720, respectively. The patients with baseline RDW≥upper limit of normal (ULN) and ALP≥2.2×ULN after one month of UDCA treatment had a lower UDCA response rate (42.6% vs 8.2%, χ2=20.813, P<0.001). ConclusionPatients with baseline RDW≥ULN and ALP≥2.2×ULN after one month of UDCA treatment tend to have a low biochemical response rate to UDCA.

Objective:To explore the application effect of rotating skin flap in the repair of skin and soft tissue defects in the perineum.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 9 patients with perineal soft tissue defects treated in the Department of the First Affiliated Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University from January 2022 to March 2024. Among them, 8 cases were soft tissue defects after extensive resection of Paget′s disease in the perineum, and 1 case was soft tissue defects after treatment of severe urethral stricture. The defect area ranged from 4 cm×1.5 cm to 30 cm×35 cm, and all wounds were repaired with rotating skin flaps, For patients with excessive area, rotating skin flaps were used to cover important areas, combined with autologous skin and artificial skin to cover the remaining wounds. Patients with urethral stricture were treated with free oral mucosal reconstruction of the urethra combined with rotational skin flap coverage. The donor site was directly sutured or autologous skin was transplanted.Results:After surgery, the recipient skin flaps of 9 patients survived and the donor area healed. After a follow-up of 9-15 months, the skin flap survived well, with skin color approaching normal, and the donor site wound healed well. Eight patients with Paget′s disease did not show any recurrence, among which one patient with extensive wound expansion had good recovery of the perineal skin flap coverage area, and small-scale chronic ulcers appeared in the skin graft area. The skin flap of the patient with urethral stricture had recovered well, and the shape of the penis was good, without any urethral stricture, urinary fistula, sinus tract, etc.Conclusions:The rotational skin flap has a clear therapeutic effect on perineal soft tissue defects and is suitable for repairing perineal skin and soft tissue defects.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula (左归降糖解郁方, ZJJF) for diabetic rats with depression. MethodsSixty rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, wingless MMTV integration site family member 5a (Wnt5a) agonist group, ZJJF group, and ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group, with 12 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the rats were fed with high-fat chow, streptozotocin injection, and chronic mild unpredictable stress combination, to establish model of diabetes mellitus complicated with depression. After successful modelling, rats in the Wnt5a agonist group were given bilateral hippocampal stereotactic injections of Wnt5a agonist Foxy-5 with 5 μl each for 7 consecutive days; rats in ZJJF group were given 20.52 g/(kg·d) of ZJJF by gavage; rats in ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group were given the drug by gavage, and bilateral hippocampal stereotactic injections of Wnt5a inhibitors Box5, with the same dosage and injection method as above. The normal group and model group were given 10 ml/(kg·d) of normal saline by gavage. All groups were gavaged for 4 consecutive weeks. At the end of the intervention, the depression-like behaviour of rats was evaluated using the forced swimming experiment (immobility time) and the absent field experiment (number of activities); the blood glucose and insulin levels of rats were measured and the insulin resistance index was calculated; the dendritic morphology of dentate gyrus neurons in the hippocampus was observed using Golgi staining; the level of dentate gyrus neuron proliferation was measured using 5-bromodeoxyuracil nucleoside (Brdu) injection and immunofluorescence; RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Wnt5a, Ras homologue genomic member A (RhoA) and Rho homologue-associated coiled-coil protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) in the dentate gyrus. ResultsCompared with the normal group, rats in the model group had significantly higher blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance indices, longer immobility time, fewer activities, lower Brdu integral optical density values and Wnt5a, RhoA, ROCK1 protein and mRNA expression in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus (P<0.05 or P< 0.01); the dendritic branches of rat hippocampal dentate gyrus neurons could be seen to be significantly reduced or broken, and their length shortened. Compared with the model group, the blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance indices of rats in ZJJF group and the ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the immobility time of rats in the Wnt5a agonist group and ZJJF group was significantly shortened, the number of activities increased, the Brdu integral optical density values elevated, and the Wnt5a, RhoA, ROCK1 protein and mRNA expression elevated (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the number of dendritic branches of hippocampal dentate gyrus neurons significantly increased, the length lengthened, and the complexity of dendrites increased. Compared with the Wnt5a agonist group, rats in the ZJJF group showed significant decrease in blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance indices, prolongation of immobilisation time, reduction in the number of activities, and reduction in the Brdu integral optical density value; except for the Wnt5a mRNA in ZJJF group, Wnt5a, RhoA, ROCK1 protein and mRNA expression reduced in both ZJJF group and ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with ZJJF group, Wnt5a, RhoA, ROCK1 protein and mRNA expression were reduced in ZJJF plus Wnt5a inhibitor group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionZJJF can improve hyperglycemia and depressive-like behaviours in rat models of diabetes with depression, and its antidepressant effects may be related to the activation of hippocampal Wnt5a/RhoA signaling and promotion of dentate gyrus neuron dendritic growth.

ObjectiveTo explore and verify the key pathway of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription in the treatment of diabetes with depression by means of gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and short time-series expression miner (STEM). MethodSD rats were randomly divided into six groups, including a normal group, a model group, high, medium, and low dose groups of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription, and a positive drug group. The model of diabetes with depression was established by high-fat feeding, streptozotocin (STZ) injection, and chronic mild unpredictable stress. The high, medium, and low dose groups of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription were orally administered at 20.52, 10.26, and 5.13 g·kg-1 respectively. The positive drug group was orally administered 0.18 g·kg-1 metformin and 1.8 g·kg-1 fluoxetine. The rats in the normal group and model group were administered with an equal volume of distilled water. After 28 days, the animals were tested for depressive-like behaviors and cognitive function using the forced swimming test and Morris water maze. Fasting blood glucose was measured using blood glucose test strips. Cholesterol and triglyceride levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Three hippocampus samples were randomly selected from the normal group, the model group, the high dose group of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription for high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. Differential gene analysis, GSEA analysis, and STEM analysis were used to screen the key pathways and target genes of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription in the treatment of diabetes with depression. Key target genes were validated using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (Real-time PCR). The expression of the signal protein mediated by the target genes was detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the results in the normal group, the fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01). Moreover, the immobility time in the forced swimming test was significantly increased, while the time to climb the platform was significantly prolonged, and the search distance in the target quadrant was significantly reduced in the Morris water maze test (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the high dose of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription significantly reduced the levels of blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides in rats with diabetes with depression (P<0.05,P<0.01), reduced the immobility time in the forced swimming test, shortened the stage time in the Morris water maze test, and increased the search distance ratio in the target area (P<0.05,P<0.01). Transcriptome sequencing differential analysis showed that the normal group had 1 366 differentially expressed genes compared to the model group, while the model group had 1 149 differentially expressed genes compared to the high dose group of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription, with 581 intersecting genes. The GSEA results showed that there were 9 sets of differentially expressed genes between the normal group and the model group, and 43 sets of differentially expressed genes between the model group and the high dose group of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription, with 7 intersecting gene sets. STEM analysis showed that according to the analysis order of the normal group, model group, and high dose group of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription, two significantly different trend clustering groups were obtained. One key gene set for axonal guidance, as well as key target signal elements Sema3c, Sema7a, Robo3, Epha8, and Epha7, were identified through synthesizing the three analysis results. Real-time PCR validated that compared with the results in the normal group, the mRNA expression of Robo3, Sema7a, and Epha7 in the hippocampus of the model rats was significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the high dose of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription significantly increased the mRNA expression of Robo3, Sema7a, and Epha7 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Western blot results showed that compared with the results in the normal group, the Sema7a, ITGB1, and FAK protein expression in the hippocampus of the model group was significantly reduced (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the high dose of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription significantly increased the protein expression of Sema7a, ITGB1, and FAK in the hippocampus (P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionZuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription may treat diabetes with depression by regulating axonal guidance based on the Sema7a/ITGB1 signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of radiation-induced lymphocytopenia in the survival of patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma receiving radiation therapy. Methods The clinical data of 98 patients with unresectable primary hepatocellular carcinoma who received radiotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. The minimum absolute lymphocyte count (min ALC) was graded in accordance with CTCAE V4.0. The optimal threshold of min ALC for prognosis was calculated by using the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the correlation of min ALC with clinical characteristics and dosimetry parameters was analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was employed to analyze the survival of patients with different levels of min ALC. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional regression models were applied to analyze prognostic factors. Results The baseline and min ALC of 98 patients during radiotherapy were 1.52×109/L and 0.45×109/L, respectively(P<0.001). The optimal cut-off value of min ALC for the prediction of the one-year survival rate was 0.38×109/L. GTV, the mean dose of the liver and spleen, the V5 and V10 of the liver and spleen, and the V15 of the spleen were correlated with min ALC, and the V5 of the liver was an independent predictor of min ALC. The overall survival of patients with high min ALC was higher than that of patients with low min ALC. Independent prognostic factors were min ALC≤0.38×109/L (HR=0.515, P=0.024), min ALC≥grade 3 (HR=0.576, P=0.032), tumor thrombus in the portal/vena cava, Child-Pugh grade A, increase of ≥2 points in the Child-Pugh score after radiotherapy, and received more than two other therapies. Conclusion Min ALC≤0.38×109/L and min ALC≥grade 3 have independent prognostic value in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma receiving radiotherapy.
