Objective:To investigate the effect of single nucleotide variation of osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene on the occurrence of osteoporosis (OP) in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) .Methods:From Apr. 2018 to Apr. 2022, 276 pregnant women with GDM who underwent prenatal examination and gave birth in Linyi People’s Hospital were collected for analysis, general data were collected and bone mineral density was tested. According to the bone mineral density test results, they were divided into normal group and OP group. The OPG genotype was tested, and the general information, OPG genotype and allele frequency of the two groups were compared. The differences in bone mineral density among different genotypes of OPG were compared, and the genotypes affecting the risk of OP in GDM patients were analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference in the general data of the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). The allelic distribution of the rs3134069 and rs2073618 loci of the OPG gene in the two groups of patients conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law (all P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the frequency of the AC genotype at rs3134069 between the two groups ( χ2=7.75, P=0.005). Taking patients with the AA genotype as a reference, patients with the AC genotype had a lower risk of developing OP ( OR=0.15, 95% CI: 0.03-0.59). There was a statistically significant difference in the frequency of CC genotype at rs2073618 between the two groups ( χ2=11.30, P=0.001). Taking patients with GG genotype as a reference, patients with CC genotype had a higher risk of developing OP ( OR=7.42, 95% CI: 2.19-27.18). Comparing rs3134069 and rs2073618 loci, there was no significant difference in bone mineral density at each part of the three genotypes (all P>0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression model showed that the AC genotype of rs3134069 ( OR=0.18, 95% CI: 0.03-0.70, P=0.029) was a protective factor for the induction of OP, while GC genotype of rs2073618 ( OR=6.86, 95% CI: 1.57-27.15, P=0.007) were the risk factors for OP in GDM patients. Conclusion:The CC genotype of rs2073618 is significantly positively correlated with the susceptibility to OP in GDM patients.

[Abstract] Objective: To observe the effect of allogeneic platelets transfusion on the invasion and metastasis of human lung cancer A549 cells, and to preliminarily explore its mechanism of action. Methods: Eighty-nine patients with advanced lung cancer, who had received platelet transfusion in the Chemotherapy Department of Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University between January 2017
and December 2018, were enrolled in this study. The study cells were randomized into Ctrl group (A549 cells co-incubated with culture medium), Before group, and After group (A549 cells co-incubated with plasma Before and After platelet transfusion, respectively). The migration and invasion of A549 cells co-cultured with plasma before and after platelet transfection were detected by Scratch and
Transwell experiments. The expression of MMPs, TIMPs and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin, as well as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor 2 (VEGFR2) were detected by Western blotting (WB) method. Results: The scratch healing ability of A549 cells in After group was significantly higher than that of Ctrl group
and Before group [(73.67±2.60)% vs (58.33±2.33)%, (35.33±2.03) %; P<0.01, vs Ctrl group; P<0.05, vs Before group], and there was also a significant difference between Before group and Ctrl group (P<0.05). The results of cell migration experiment showed that the number of transmembrane cells in After group was significantly higher than that in Ctrl group and Before group [(69.67±7.84) vs (18±2.08) and (39.33±2.03), all P<0.01]. The cell invasion experiment showed that the number of transmembrane cells in After group was significantly higher than that in Ctrl group and Before group [(59.34±3.46) vs (18.34±1.56) and (37.58±2.79), all P<0.01]. When A549 cells were co-incubated with plasma before and after platelet transfusion for 48 h, it was found that the expressions of MMP9 and MMP2 were increased (P<0.05), while their inhibitors TIMP1 and TIMP2 were decreased (P<0.01); the expressions of EMT-related proteins N-cadherin and Vimentin were increased (P<0.05), but E-cadherin was decreased (P<0.01); the expressions of angiogenesis related proteins VEGF and VEGFR2 were increased (P<0.05). Conclusion: Alloplatelets transfusion can promote the invasion and metastasis of lung cancer A549 cells, which may be realized by regulation of the expressions of EMT, metallomatrix protease and vascular growth factor-related proteins.

OBJECTIVE: To study the inhibitory effect of dictamnine on the viability of mice spleen lymphocyte in vitro and explore its potential mechanism. METHODS: The primary spleen lymphocytes of mice were isolated and cultured. The cells were treated with 0 (blank control), 50, 100, 150 μmol/L dictamnine for 24 h. MTT assay was used to determine the cell viability; Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) assay was used to determine release rate of LDH. Early apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. Necrosis rate was detected by Hoechst 33342 and PI double staining; Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expressions of Caspase 3 and Cleaved-Caspase 3 in cells. Comet assay was used to detect DNA damage in cells (reflected in the proportion of DNA tail area). RESULTS: Compared with blank control, 100, 150 μmol/L dictamnine could significantly inhibit the viability of lymphocytes (P<0.01). 150 μmol/L dictamnine could significantly increase the release of LDH (P<0.05), and release rate reached 79.37%. 50, 100, 150 μmol/L dictamnine could improve the early apoptotic rate of lymphocyte, but there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). 150 μmol/L dictamnine could significantly increase the necrosis rate (P<0.05), and necrosis rate reached 78.64%. 50, 100, 150 μmol/L dictamnine could increase the protein expression of Caspase 3, but there was no statistical significance (P>0.05), while 50, 100 μmol/L dictamnine could improve the protein expression of Cleaved-Caspase 3 significantly (P<0.05). DNA damage was induced in a dose-dependent manner by dictamnine, in which 100 and 150 μmol/L dictamnine could significantly increase DNA tail area (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Dictamnine can inhibit spleen lymphocyte viability, and the mechanism may be related to inducing spleen lymphocyte necrosis and DNA damage.

BACKGROUND:The linkage and synergistic effect of adaptor proteins can effectively regulate signal transduction of T cel s, which can form a limit or amplification cascade to realize the complex immune function of T cel s. C-terminal Src kinase (Csk)-binding protein (Cbp) is an adaptor protein, which mainly exert the negative feedback regulation of Src kinase activity. This negative feedback effect depends on Y317 of Cbp, which may be involved in the SH2 domain of Csk. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of high expression of Cbp on ultrastructure and related biological function of Jurkat cel s. METHODS:The virus particles were constructed with expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) only and Cbp-EGFP fusion protein to transfect Jurkat cel s. There were untransfected group (Jurkat group), negative control group (transfected with expression of EGFP virus only), and Cbp group (transfected with Cbp-EGFP virus). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Confocal microscope showed that cel transfection efficiency was more than 95%and Cbp was located on the cel membrane. Optical microscope showed after transfection with Cbp-EGFP virus, more Jurkat cel s shrunk, with poor size uniformity. Apoptosis detection showed that after transfection with Cbp-EGFP virus, the number of apoptotic and necrotic cel s was greatly increased. Cbp mRNA expression was increased, Csk expression was decreased obviously and lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase expression was increased. So, in Jurkat cel s, the high expression of Cbp can decrease the uniformity of cel s and increase the necrosis cel s, thus inhibiting the signal transduction.

To study the effects of surfactants on wettability of excipients, the contact angles of six types of surfactants on the surface of two common excipients and mixture of three surfactants with excipients were measured using hypsometry method. The results demonstrated that contact angle of water on the surface of excipients was associated with hydrophilcity of excipients. Contact angle was lowered with increase in hydrophilic groups of excipient molecules. The sequence of contact angle from small to large was starch < sodium benzoate < polyvinylpyrrolidone < sodium carboxymethylcellulose < sodium alginate < chitosan < hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose
