Objective To explore the genome-wide distribution of histone H3K27ac in intestinal type gastric cancer,analyze remodeling features of enhancers and regulome and construct a prediction model for prognosis.Methods H3K27ac CUT&Tag sequencing and RNA sequencing were performed in intestinal type gastric cancer tissues from 15 patients and normal gastric mucosa tissues from 18 healthy volunteers.Bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify the differences in genome distribution of H3K27ac modifications.Based on the distribution characteristics of H3K27ac,the enhancer elements were identified and the remodeling characteristics of enhancer and related regulome were explored.The prediction model for prognosis based on enhancer related target genes was constructed by univariate Cox and multivariate Cox regression analyses.Results The histone H3K27ac modification was mainly distributed in the enhancer region and displayed no significant differences in the genomic distribution patterns between normal and cancer tissues.Compared with normal gastric mucosa,the level of enhancer H3K27ac modification was higher in intestinal type gastric cancer.A total of 8847 enhancers with increased activity in intestinal type gastric cancer were identified,accounting for 8.3%of all enhancers,which might promote malignant behaviors such as proliferation and adhesion of gastric cancer cells.A prognosis-predicting model established based on a panel of 6 genes that upregulated by the acquired enhancer in cancers,which was able to predict the overall survival of patients.Conclusion Enhancer remodeling is one of the significant epigenetic features of intestinal type gastric cancer.These enhancers may drive malignant growth and adhesion of cancer cells by upregulating the expression of MYC,E2F3 and other genes.A prognosis model based on enhancer target genes is constructed.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacies of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NAIC )and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC )for local advanced gastric adenocarcinoma and analyze the clinicopathological characteristics.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 243 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer admitted in Army Medical Center of PLA (Daping Hospital)and the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from January 2017 to July 2023. After balancing the confounding factors by inclusion and exclusion criteria and propensity score matching (PSM),the tumor pathological regression (TRG)rate and safety of the 2 neoadjuvant treatment regimens were analyzed,and the clinical pathological characteristics were analyzed to find clinical pathological characteristics related to efficacy.Results After using PSM to balance the baseline characteristics of the 2 groups of patients,53 subjects in each group were included in the analysis.In terms of TRG,the pathological complete response (pCR)rate in the NAIC group (13 patients,25％)was significantly higher than that in the NAC group (2 patients,3.8％,P<0.05 ).Similar results were observed in terms of major pathological response (MPR),with 23 patients (43％)in the NAIC group achieving MPR,while 9 patients (17％)in the NAC group achieved MPR (P<0.05 ).In terms of safety,the incidence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade in the NAIC group and the NAC group was comparable (96.2％ and 96.2％,respectively).In an exploratory subgroup analysis of tumor pathological regression,the patients with clinicopathological features such as age<65 years,male,stage Ⅲ～Ⅳ A of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)staging,histological type of adenocarcinoma,high-moderate differentiated,intestinal-type gastric cancer,stage T3～4 of clinical T-staging,and stage N2～3 of clinical N-staging were more likely to benefit from NAIC.Conclusion NAIC results in a higher rate of pathological regression and a comparable incidence of adverse events when compared with chemotherapy alone for patients with local advanced gastric adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the role and mechanism of metformin in algesia of rats with type 2 diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP).Methods:Eighty sprague-dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group ( n=15) and high-fat and high-glucose group ( n=65); normal diet and high-fat and high-sugar diet were given, respectively; before and 8 weeks after feeding, the body mass of rats and fasting blood glucose level were recorded, fasting insulin level was detected by ELISA, and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated. Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) 8 weeks after feeding (baseline values) were measured in the high-fat and high-glucose group; after 12 h of fasting, intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 35 mg/kg) was performed; 3 d after fasting, blood glucose was measured; 14 d after STZ injection, body mass was recorded and MWT and TWL were measured again: when MWT and TWL were ≤85% baseline values, it was defined that DNP model was successfully established ( n=45); and the left were into the diabetic painless group ( n=15). The rats with successful DNP were randomly divided into DNP group, DNP+vehicle group and DNP+metformin group ( n=15); 14 d after STZ injection, rats in the DNP+metformin group were given intraperitoneal injection of metformin (200 mg/kg) once daily for 14 consecutive d; DNP group did not accept any treatment, and rats in DNP+vehicle group were intraperitoneally injected with same amount of normal saline. MWT and TWL of all rats were measured 14 d after STZ injection, and 3, 7, 14 and 21 d after metformin injection. The expression levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were detected by ELISA 7, 14 and 21 d after metformin injection. The fluorescence intensity of ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule-1 (Iba-1) in the spinal cord was detected by immunofluorescence staining, and the expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear transcription factor (NF)-κB, phosphorylated (p)-NF-κB, adenylate activated protein kinase (AMPK), p-AMPK, and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ coactivator (PGC)-1α in the spinal cord were detected by Western blotting 21 d after metformin injection. Results:(1) After 8 weeks of feeding, the body mass of rats in the high-fat and high-glucose group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group ( P<0.05); and the body mass of rats in the high-fat and high-glucose group was statistically lower than that in the normal control group 14 d after STZ injection ( P<0.05). Three d after STZ injection, the blood glucose level in high-fat and high-glucose group was significantly higher than that in normal control group ( P<0.05). After 8 weeks of feeding, the insulin level of high-fat and high-glucose group was statistically higher than that of normal control group, and the ISI in the high-fat and high-glucose group was significantly decreased as compared with that in the normal control group ( P<0.05). (2) As compared with those in the normal control group and diabetic painless group, MWT and TWL of DNP group and DNP+vehicle group were significantly decreased at each time point ( P<0.05). Three, 7, 14 and 21 d after metformin injection, MWT and TWL in DNP+metformin group were significantly increased as compared with those in DNP group and DNP+vehicle group ( P<0.05). (3) Seven, 14, and 21 d after metformin injection, the levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in the spinal cord of rats in the DNP group and DNP+vehicle group were significantly increased as compared with those in the normal control group and diabetic painless group ( P<0.05); as compared with those in the DNP group and DNP+vehicle group, the levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in the spinal cord of DNP+metformin group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05). (4) As compared with normal control group and diabetic painless group, the fluorescence intensity of Iba-1 and number of Iba-1 positive cells in the spinal cord tissues of DNP group and DNP+vehicle group were significantly increased ( P<0.05); while the fluorescence intensity of Iba-1 and number of Iba-1 positive cells in spinal cord tissues of DNP+metformin group were significantly decreased as compared with those in the DNP group and DNP+ vehicle group ( P<0.05). (5) As compared with those in the normal control group and diabetic painless group, the TLR4 and p-NF-κB protein expressions and p-NF-κB/NF-κB values in the spinal cord tissues of DNP group and DNP+vehicle group were significantly increased ( P<0.05); while those in the spinal cord tissues of DNP+metformin group were significantly decreased as compared with those in the DNP group and DNP+vehicle group ( P<0.05). As compared with those in the normal control group and diabetic painless group, the PGC-1α protein expression and p-AMPK/AMPK values in the spinal cord tissues of DNP group and DNP+vehicle group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05); while those in the spinal cord tissues of DNP+metformin group were significantly increased as compared with those in the DNP group and DNP+vehicle group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Metformin, by activating AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway, may inhibit the TLR4/NF-κB expression, reduce the activation of microglia and the expressions of pro-inflammatory factors, and thus alleviate DNP.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of HIV-testing awareness of Myanmar people in Dehong, and provide references for early discovery of HIV infection among Myanmar people.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 Myanmar people in Dehong through convenient sampling method in a form of face-to-face questionnaire interview. HIV-testing awareness and influencing factors were described and analyzed with χ2 and logistic regression method . Results:A total of 393 participants were included in the study, in whom 241 (61.3%) were males, 256(65.1%) were Myanmar people, 233(59.3%) received 1-7 years of education in Myanmar, 348 do not speak Chinese (88.5%), 226(57.5%) were married, 378(96.2%) were non-solitary, 257(65.4%) were workers, the main purpose of etering into China in 273(69.5%) was working in China, 273(69.5%) had stayed in China for more than 2 years, 573(95.4%) had a clear plan on whether to stay in China for a long time in the future. In these Myanmar people, the rate of AIDS-related knowledge awareness was 75.6%; 165(42.0%) had sexual behavior in the last 6 months. 221(56.2%) knew that they had been tested for HIV. Ninety (22.9%) were more likely to actively seek HIV-testing after they had unprotected behaviors such as homosexual sex, injecting drug use, and sex without using condom. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of HIV-testing awareness included being women (compared with men, OR=2.155, 95% CI: 1.088-4.270), educational level of 8-10 years or more than 10 years (compared with education level 1-4 years, OR=5.207, 95% CI: 2.094-12.950; OR=19.780, 95% CI: 5.800-67.457), having sexual behavior in the last 6 months (compared with those who had not, OR=2.534, 95% CI: 1.343-4.779), having received AIDS-related education in the last 6 months (compared with those who had not, OR=2.462, 95% CI: 1.303-4.654), AIDS-related knowledge awareness (compared with those who had no awareness, OR=8.126, 95% CI: 2.936-22.491). Conclusions:Myanmar people have low awareness of HIV-testing in Dehong. Those who were women and high literacy levels, having received AIDS-related knowledge education in the past 6 months, and having AIDS-related knowledge have an active HIV-testing awareness, after they have high-risk behaviors. AIDS-related knowledge should be publicized to promote early discovery of high-risk behaviors.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of HIV testing behavior among foreigners in Guangzhou, and provide a reference for promoting HIV testing and intervention services in foreigners.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted from November 2019 to January 2020 among 230 eligible foreigners selected in Guangzhou through convenient sampling method in the form of one-to-one questionnaire interview, HIV testing behaviors and related influencing factors were described and analyzed with χ2 test and multivariate logistic regression model. Results:A total of 230 foreigners were included in the study, in whom 156 were males (67.8%), 217 were from Africa (94.3%), 138 (60.0%) were with education level of university and above, 169 (73.5%) were in business, 47 (20.4%) were students, 132 (57.4%) had cumulative residence >12 months in Guangzhou and 113 (49.1%) had health examination in China in the past 6 months. In these foreigners, the rate of AIDS-related knowledge awareness was 76.0%, the proportion of condom use in the last sex was 39.6%(89/225) and 47.8%(110/230) received HIV tests in the past 3 months. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed, the influencing factors of HIV testing behavior in the past 3 months included cumulative residence ≤12 months (compared with cumulative residence >12 months, OR=3.12, 95 %CI: 1.49-6.56), health examination in China in the past 6 months (compared to those who had not, OR=2.53, 95 %CI: 1.17-5.48), awareness of HIV testing and consulting service in Guangzhou (compared with those who had no awareness, OR=3.65, 95 %CI: 1.71-7.78). Conclusions:Some foreigners in Guangzhou had relatively low rates of HIV testing and condom use. Those who pay attention to their own health status and know well about HIV testing and consulting services are more likely to receive HIV testing, foreigners in Guangzhou should be encouraged to receive HIV testing. Their self-testing awareness should be improved.
