Objective To explore the regulatory relationship between CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta(CEBPB)and four-jointed box kinase 1(FJX1)in colon cancer and their effect on colon cancer(CC)malignant progression and angiogenesis.Methods Bioinformatics was used to analyze the expression of FJX1 and CEBPB in CC and the regulatory relationship between them.Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to verify the expression of FJX1 and CEBPB in CC cells,and chromatin immunoprecipitation(CHIP)and dual luciferase assay were used to verify the binding relationship between FJX1 and CEBPB.The effects of FJX1 and CEBPB on the viability,migration,invasion and angiogenesis of CC cells were detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8),scratch test,Transwell and angiogenesis test.Results This study revealed that FJX1 was highly expressed in CC.Inhibiting the expression of FJX1 could significantly inhibit the cell viability,migration,invasion and angiogenesis of CC cells.Subsequently,we found that CEBPB was an upstream regulatory gene of FJX1,and CEBPB was highly expressed in CC.CHIP and dual luciferase experiments showed that CEBPB could bind to FJX1.The results of cell experiments showed that the transcription factor CEBPB could promote the proliferation,migration,invasion and angiogenesis of CC cells by activating FJX1.Conclusion CEBPB/FJX1 axis played a cancer-promoting role in the progression of CC,suggesting that CEBPB and FJX1 may be potential therapeutic targets for CC.

Objective To investigate whether 3D-guided cone-shaped segmentectomy can achieve comparable long-term outcomes with lobectomy for deep early-stage lung cancer with diameter≤2 cm. Methods We retrospectively screened patients with deep early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with diameter≤2 cm who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2012 to 2018. All pulmonary segmentectomy was performed using 3D-guided cone-shaped segmentectomy with segment or subsegment as the resection unit. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed by Cox proportional hazard regression model. The patients who underwent segmentectomy and lobectomy were matched 1∶1 by propensity-score matching analysis. The oncological outcomes of two groups were compared. Results Our cohort was divided into a segmentectomy group (n=222) and a lobectomy group (n=127). The age, total nodule size, solid component size and proportion of pure solid nodule in the lobectomy group were significantly higher than those in the segmentectomy group. The median follow-up time was 49 months. Surgical margins were negative in all patients. The local recurrence rate of segmentectomy was 0.45%. The disease-free survival (DFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate of patients in the segmentectomy group were significantly better than those in the lobectomy group (5-year DFS rate: 98.64% vs. 89.77%, P<0.001; 5-year OS rate: 99.55% vs. 92.10%, P<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the differences between two groups were not significant [DFS rate: HR=0.52. 95%CI (0.11, 2.59), P=0.427; OS rate: HR=0.08. 95%CI (0.00, 3.24), P=0.179] after adjusting for other factors. After propensity score matching, 77 patients were preserved in both segmentectomy group and lobectomy group, with the mean nodule size of 1.44 cm and 1.49 cm and the mean consolidation tumor ratio (CTR) of 0.46 and 0.52, respectively. There was no statistical difference in DFS rate (P=0.640) or OS rate (P=0.310) between the two groups. Conclusion 3D-guided cone-shaped segmentectomy can be an acceptable treatment for low-grade malignant NSCLC deep in lung parenchyma with diameter≤2 cm, and its oncology effect is not inferior to lobectomy.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory role of miR-17-5p on B7-H3 and its immunomodulatory role in the develop-ment of colorectal cancer.Methods:Twenty-five pairs of human colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected,and the expression levels of miR-17-5p,B7-H3 and PD-L1 were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,protein immuno-blotting and immunohistochemical assays.Human colorectal cancer HCT-116 cells were divided into four groups:miR-NC group,miR-17-5p mimic group,si-NC group and si-B7-H3 group.The growth,invasive ability and apoptosis rate of HCT-116 cells were ana-lyzed by cell colony formation assay,Transwell assay and flow cytometry.The regulatory effect of miR-17-5p on B7-H3 was analyzed by luciferase reporter gene assay.The levels of IL-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,IFN-γ and TNF-α cytokines in the cell culture medium were analyzed by ELISA.Results:Compared with paracancerous tissues,miR-17-5p expression was decreased and B7-H3 expression was increased in colorectal cancer tissues.miR-17-5p mimic and si-B7-H3 were able to reduce the number of HCT-116 cell colony forma-tion and invasion,promote HCT-116 cell apoptosis,and decrease the levels of IL-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,IFN-γ and TNF-α cytokines in culture medium.In addition,miR-17-5p mimic and si B7-H3 were able to inhibit PD-L1 expression in HCT-116 cells.Conclusion:miR-17-5p can targeting inhibit B7-H3 expression,affect the immunomodulatory role in colorectal cancer development,and inhibit metastasis and promote apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells.

Objective    To explore the feasibility and clinical value of free-of-puncture positioning in three-dimension-guided anatomical segmentectomy for ground-glass nodule (GGN) compared with percutaneous positioning. Methods    Clinical data of 268 enrolled patients undergoing anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy from October 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively collected, including 75 males and 193 females with an average age of 56.55±12.10 years. The patients were divided into two groups, including a percutaneous positioning group (n=89) and a free-of-puncture positioning group (n=179). Perioperative data of the two groups were compared. Results    The average CT scan times of the percutaneous positioning group was 3.01±0.98 times, and the numerical rating scale (NRS) score of puncture pain was 3.98±1.61 points. Pulmonary compression pneumothorax (≥30%) occurred in 7 (7.87%) patients and intercostal vascular hemorrhage occurred in 8 (8.99%) patients after puncture. Lung nodules were successfully found and removed in both groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the location of nodules (P=0.466), operation time (151.83±39.23 min vs. 154.35±33.19 min, P=0.585), margin width (2.07±0.35 cm vs. 1.98±0.28 cm, P=0.750), or the number of excised subsegments (2.83±1.13 vs. 2.73±1.16, P=0.530). Conclusion    Anatomical segmentectomy with three-dimensional navigation avoids the adverse consequences of puncture, which has the same clinical efficacy and meets the requirements of oncology compared with percutaneous positioning. The free-of-puncture positioning method can be used for GGN located in the central region of pulmonary segment/subsegment or adjacent to   intersegment veins instead of percutaneous positioning.

With the development of the 3rd-generation high-throughput sequencing technology and tissue engineering, recent studies show that many long-chain non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have played an important role in osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). LncRNAs, which are involved in the regulation of mechanical regulation, further regulate bone-related cell functions and play a regulatory role at multiple levels, including transcription, post-transcriptional and epigenetic. LncRNAs may be involved in the osteogenic differentiation and bone remodeling of MSCs, the regulation of bone-related cell functions as a mechanical response molecule, as well as the pathological process of skeletal diseases.

Thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy is one of the important treatment methods for early lung cancer. Only the premise of surgical precision can make the radical resection of lesions and maximum reservation of healthy lung tissue be simultaneously guaranteed. As a representative of the precise lung operation, the “cone-shaped lung segmentectomy” focuses on the lesion, and combines the anatomical characteristic of the patient to design individualized operation scheme. The technological core consists of three parts, three dimensional-computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) surgery path planning, accurate definition of intersegmental demarcation and anatomic dissection of intersegmental borders along the demarcation. This paper aims to explore the technical process and quality control of the key techniques of thoracoscopic precise segmentectomy, so as to standardize the segmentectomy procedure under the principle of radical and minimally invasive therapy.

Objective : To investigate the effect of a laser-etched pure titanium surface on proliferation of the human osteosarcoma cell line MG63 and to provide a basis for study of implant surface modification. Methods: The pure titanium plate was cut into titanium pieces by a numerical control machine tool and divided into smooth surface and laser etching groups. The titanium surface of the laser etching group was etched with an Nd:YAG continuous wave laser using predetermined parameters, and the surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface micromorphology of each titanium sheet was evaluated. The relative element content of the titanium surface was measured by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The Ra value of each surface was determined using the Veeco roughness tester. MG63 cells were inoculated on 2 sets of titanium tablets. At 1, 3, and 6 h postinoculation, cell adhesion to the two groups of titanium sheets was observed under the microscope. At 24 h after inoculation, cellular F-actin was directly stained using immunofluorescence, and the morphology of the cytoskeleton was observed by laser confocal microscopy. Cell proliferation was examined at 1, 3, and 5 d using a MTS kit, and the data were analyzed with SAS 9.4. Results : The surface of the smooth surface group was smooth and flat, the element composition was pure titanium, and the roughness Ra was 179.23 nm. The surface of the laser-etched group formed a regular and uniform pore structure. The composition was mainly Ti, O, C, etc, and the surface roughness Ra was 14.11 μm. A large number of cells were uniformly distributed on the two titanium sheets in the observations at 1, 3, and 6 h. At 24 h postinoculation, MG63 cells were completely stretched on the two sets of titanium sheets and had extended a large number of pseudopods and microfilaments to cross-link with peripheral cells; moreover, the cell division phase was observed. The cell proliferation of the two groups at 1, 3, and 5 d showed a significant increase with time, indicating that no cytotoxicity occurred on the surfaces of the two groups. However, the cell proliferation in the laser-etched group was superior to that in the mechanical smooth surface group. Conclusion The surface morphology of titanium can be controlled by laser etching, which is conductive to increase the microstructure of implants without cytotoxicity and promoting osteoblast proliferation in the early stage.

This study aimed to elucidate the effect of tryptophan (Trp) on gut hormone secretion as well as the roles of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and its downstream signaling pathway in gut hormone secretion by assessing swine duodenal perfusion in vitro. Swine duodenum was perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer as a basal solution. Various concentrations (0, 10, and 20 mM) of Trp were applied to investigate its effect on gut hormone secretion. A CaSR antagonist was used to detect the involvement of CaSR and its signal molecules. The 20 mM Trp concentration promoted the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), elevated the mRNA level of CaSR, and upregulated the protein levels of CaSR, protein kinase C (PKC), and inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R). However, NPS 2143, an inhibitor of CaSR, attenuated the CCK and GIP release, reduced the mRNA level of CaSR, and decreased the protein levels of CaSR, PKC, and IP3R with 20 mM Trp perfusion. The results indicate that CCK and GIP secretion can be induced by Trp in swine duodenum in vitro, and the effect is mediated by CaSR and its downstream signal molecules PKC and IP3R.
