In the past few decades, microbubbles were widely used as ultrasound contrast agents in the field of tumor imaging. With the development of research, ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction technology combined with drug-loaded microbubbles can achieve precise drug release and play a therapeutic role. As a micron-scale carrier, microbubbles are difficult to penetrate the endothelial cell space of tumors, and nano-scale drug delivery system—nanobubbles came into being. The structure of the two is similar, but the difference in size highlights the unique advantages of nanobubbles in drug delivery. Based on the classification principle of shell materials, this review summarized micro/nanobubbles used for ultrasound diagnosis or treatment and discussed the possible development directions, providing references for the subsequent development.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of mucin 1 (MUC1) on the proliferation and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its regulatory mechanism. MethodsThe 60 NPC and paired para-cancer normal tissues were collected from October 2020 to July 2021 in Quanzhou First Hospital. The expression of MUC1 was measured by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) in the patients with PNC. The 5-8F and HNE1 cells were transfected with siRNA control (si-control) or siRNA targeting MUC1 (si-MUC1). Cell proliferation was analyzed by cell counting kit-8 and colony formation assay, and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry analysis in the 5-8F and HNE1 cells. The qPCR and ELISA were executed to analyze the levels of TNF-α and IL-6. Western blot was performed to measure the expression of MUC1, NF-кB and apoptosis-related proteins (Bax and Bcl-2). ResultsThe expression of MUC1 was up-regulated in the NPC tissues, and NPC patients with the high MUC1 expression were inclined to EBV infection, growth and metastasis of NPC. Loss of MUC1 restrained malignant features, including the proliferation and apoptosis, downregulated the expression of p-IкB、p-P65 and Bcl-2 and upregulated the expression of Bax in the NPC cells. ConclusionDownregulation of MUC1 restrained biological characteristics of malignancy, including cell proliferation and apoptosis, by inactivating NF-κB signaling pathway in NPC.

ObjectiveInferring cancer driver genes, especially rare or sample-specific cancer driver genes, is crucial for precision oncology. Considering the high inter-tumor heterogeneity, a few recent methods attempt to reveal cancer driver genes at the individual level. However, most of these methods generally integrate multi-omics data into a single biomolecular network (e.g., gene regulatory network or protein-protein interaction network) to identify cancer driver genes, which results in missing important interactions highlighted in different networks. Thus, the development of a multiplex network method is imperative in order to integrate the interactions of different biomolecular networks and facilitate the identification of cancer driver genes. MethodsA multiplex network control method called Personalized cancer Driver Genes with Multiplex biomolecular Networks (PDGMN) was proposed. Firstly, the sample-specific multiplex network, which contains protein-protein interaction layer and gene-gene association layer, was constructed based on gene expression data. Subsequently, somatic mutation data was integrated to weight the nodes in the sample-specific multiplex network. Finally, a weighted minimum vertex cover set identification algorithm was designed to find the optimal set of driver nodes, facilitating the identification of personalized cancer driver genes. ResultsThe results derived from three TCGA cancer datasets indicate that PDGMN outperforms other existing methods in identifying personalized cancer driver genes, and it can effectively identify the rare driver genes in individual patients. Particularly, the experimental results indicate that PDGMN can capture the unique characteristics of different biomolecular networks to improve cancer driver gene identification. ConclusionPDGMN can effectively identify personalized cancer driver genes and broaden our understanding of cancer driver gene identification from a multiplex network perspective.

Intramedullary needle(IMN)has the advantages of high healing rate and low incidence of complications in treatment of tibial fracture,and has become one of the most commonly used fixation methods for the treatment of tibial fracture.However,due to the patient's own factors,fracture location and fracture type,infection and surgical treatment,bone nonunion after IMN still occurs in clinic.Bone nonunion leads to the increase of medical cost and prolonged the hospitalization time of patients,which causes great pain to patients,and also brings great challenges to the treatment of orthopedic surgeons.Therefore,this paper reviews the influencing factors of bone nonunion after IMN for tibial fracture,in order to provide reference for clinical treatment.

Infrared spectroscopy technology has many advantages such as high efficiency and non-destructiveness,and has an important research and application value in the field of petroleum pollutant classification and detection.In this study,a petroleum pollutant classification method by combing the discrete wavelet transform(DWT)algorithm and a one-dimensional convolutional neural network based on the Inception module(Inception-1D-CNN)was proposed.Firstly,the DWT algorithm was used to denoise the original infrared spectral data to eliminate the interference information caused by experimental environment,instrument error and manual operation.Then,the inception-1D-CNN model was used to obtain multi-scale infrared spectroscopy feature information,and then classify the petroleum pollutants.Experimental results showed that compared with preprocessing methods such as standard normal variable(SNV),adaptive iteratively reweighted penalized least squares(AirPLS),and Savitzky-Golay smoothing(S-G),the prediction accuracy of the DWT algorithm combined with the 1D-CNN model with a convolutional kernel size of 3×1 was 86.6%,which was 6.6%,6.6%and 3.3%higher,respectively.The prediction accuracy of DWT algorithm combined with 1D-CNN model with a convolutional kernel size of 5×1 was 93.3%,which was 10.0%,7.0%and 3.3%higher,respectively.The prediction accuracy of the DWT algorithm combined with the 1D-CNN model with a convolutional kernel size of 7×1 was 90.0%,which was 6.7%,10.0%and 3.4%higher,respectively.The prediction accuracy of the DWT algorithm combined with the inception-1D-CNN model was 100.0%,which was 10.0%,10.0%and 3.4%higher,respectively.Therefore,the DWT algorithm combined with the inception-1D-CNN model could accurately classify and predict petroleum pollutants,and provided a certain basis for the subsequent treatment of oil spills on the sea surface.
