Objective To explore the mechanism of micro ribonucleic acid(miR)-3197 in diabetic retinopathy(DR)on the basis of the nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway.Methods A total of 47 DR patients admitted to Heng-shui People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were selected as the DR group,and 47 healthy individuals in the same period were collected as the control group.Their information in gender,age,fasting blood glucose(FBG),fast-ing insulin(FINS),triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC)and miR-3197 were compared.The correlation between miR-3197 in DR patients and laboratory data was analyzed,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of miR-3197 for DR diagnosis was drawn.The human retinal microvascular endothelial cells(hRMECs)were cultured in vitro and treated with 5.5 mmol·L-1 glucose[low glucose(NG)group]and 30 mmol·L-1 glucose[high glucose(HG)group],respectively.After transfecting with anti-miR-NC and anti-miR-3197,the cells were treated with 30 mmol·L-1 glucose(HG+anti-miR-NC group and HG+anti-miR-3197 group).Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the relative expression level of miR-3197,flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of hRMECs,enzyme-linked im-munosorbent assay was used for detecting tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a)and interleukin-6(IL-6),and Western blot was adopted to detect the expressions of aspartic protease 3 containing cysteine(cleaved caspase-3)protein,Bax protein and NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins[phospho-NF-KB p65(p-p65),p65,phospho-NF-KB inhibited protein(p-IκBα),and NF-κB inhibited protein(IκBα)].Results The levels of FBG,FINS,TC and TG in the DR group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.001).The relative expression level of miR-3197 in the peripheral blood of patients in the DR group(2.76±0.67)was higher than that of the control group(1.03±0.34),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The miR-3197 level of patients in the DR group was positively correlated with FBG,FINS,TC and TG levels(r=0.672,0.587,0.511 and 0.423;all P＜0.05).The ROC curve graph showed that the area under the curve was 0.919,with sensitivity and specificity of 85.11％and 89.36％,respectively.Compared with the NG group,the HG group showed a significant increase in cell apoptosis rate and the pro-tein expressions of cleaved caspase-3,Bax,TNF-a,IL-6,p-IκBa and p-p65(all P＜0.05);compared with the HG+anti-miR-NC group,the HG+anti-miR-3197 group showed a significant decrease in cell apoptosis rate and the protein expres-sions of cleaved caspase-3,Bax,TNF-a,IL-6,p-IκBa and p-p65(allP＜0.05).Conclusion The miR-3197 is highly ex-pressed in the peripheral blood of DR patients and high glucose-induced hRMECs.Down-regulation of miR-3197 can allevi-ate high glucose-induced hRMEC apoptosis and inflammatory injury,and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhi-bition of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the expression of circular ribonucleic acid carnitine palmitoyltrans-ferase 1A(circRNA CPT1A)in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR)and its mechanism of action on neuropathy.Methods To-tally 80 patients(102 eyes)with type 2 diabetes admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected,including 22 patients(28 eyes)with no DR(NDR group),38 patients(48 eyes)with non-proliferative DR(NPDR group),and 20 patients(26 eyes)with proliferative DR(PDR group).Optical coherence tomography angiography was used to measure the thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(pRNFL)and macular ganglion cell complex(GCC),the level of phosphatase and tensin homolog(PTEN)in peripheral blood was detected by Western blot,and the circRNA CPT1A level in peripheral blood was detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The levels of circRNA CPT1A and PTEN in peripheral blood,as well as the thickness of pRNFL and GCC,were compared among three groups,and Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between circRNA CPT1A and PTEN,pRNFL and GCC thickness.Results The circRNA CPT1A in the peripheral blood of the PDR group was higher than that in the NDR group and NPDR group;the PTEN in the peripheral blood of the PDR group was lower than that in the NDR group and NP-DR group(all P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the expression of circRNA CPT1A and PTEN be-tween NDPR group and NDR group(all P＞0.05).The Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression level of cir-cRNA CPT1A in peripheral blood was negatively correlated with PTEN(P＜0.05).With the increase in disease severity,the thickness of pRNFL and GCC showed a decreasing trend;the thickness of pRNFL and GCC in the whole,upper and lower parts of eyes in the NDR group were higher than those in the NPDR group(all P＜0.05),while those in the NPDR group were higher than the PDR group(all P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression level of cir-cRNA CPT1A in peripheral blood was negatively correlated with the thickness of pRNFL and GCC in the whole,upper and lower parts of the observed eyes(all P＜0.05).Conclusion With the increase in the severity of DR,circRNA CPT1A in the peripheral blood of DR patients shows an increasing trend and is negatively correlated with peripheral blood PTEN lev-el,as well as macular pRNFL and GCC thickness.The mechanism of action may be that circRNA CPT1A negatively regu-lates the expression of PTEN and thus participates in the occurrence and development of DR.

The medium-dose Yitangkang showed a similar effect as RAGE inhibitor， and the effect was equivalent to that of pioglitazone hydrochloride. ConclusionYitangkang can inhibit skeletal muscle cell apoptosis by inhibiting the AGE/RAGE signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics of hepatic echinococcus granulosus (HEG).Methods:Thirteen cases of HEG were collected from Linzhi People′s Hospital between January 2017 to October 2020, and their clinicopathologic features, ultrasound classi?cation, immunophenotype and histochemical data were analyzed, retrospectively and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:Thirteen patients (5 male patients, 8 female patients) were included in this cohort, and the mean age was 40 years. The most common clinical presentation was mild abdominal distention and pain (9/13). Based on WHO-IWGE ultrasound standardized classi?cation, these cases were classified into 5 types, including type CL (1 case), type CE1 (2 cases), type CE2 (4 cases), type CE3 (3 cases) and type CE4 (3 cases). Gross examination revealed a solitary cyst localized in the liver, varying from 2.7 to 13.5 cm in diameter, and most of them(10/13)were more than 10 cm. Histopathologically, these cysts possessed a thin inner germinal layer and outer adventitial layer, and a central cavity ?lled with a clear"hydatid"?uid. The germinal layer was continuous and generated brood capsules and protoscoleces. The laminated membranes were clearly demonstrated by elastic fiber and Gomori′s stains. Inside the"mother"cyst, there were a varying number of"daughter"vesicles of variable sizes. The inflammatory reaction around the cyst consisted of eosinophils, mononuclear cells immediately next to the cyst layer and sometimes formed granuloma and giant cells resembling the Langhan′s type giant cells. The lymphoid cells were positive for CD20 and CD3. The CD68 immunohistochemistry clearly demonstrated epithelioid cells of granuloma in two cases. Moreover, immunohistochemistry revealed plasma cells were locally positive for CD38, IgG and IgG4, but not meeting the criteria for IgG4 related lesion.Conclusions:Hepatic echinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic parasitic disease prevalent in pastoral areas such as Tibet. It is important to understand its clinical features, ultrasound characteristics and histological morphology.

In this article, the related literatures regarding the research and therapeutic progress of septic cardiomyopathy in traditional Chinese and western medicine in recent years were read and summarized.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of knocking down long chain non-coding RNA MALAT-1 gene on the biologicalbehaviors of human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma Hep-2 cells.

METHODSWith immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial(NPE) cell line NP-69 as the reference, MALAT1 expression in FaDu, Hep-2 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells weredetected using real-time PCR. Hep-2 cells were transfected with shmalat1 lentivirus and the expression of MALAT1 wasdetected. MTT assay, flow cytometry, Transwell assay and M Atrigel invasiveness test were used to evaluate the effect ofMALAT-1 knockdown on the proliferation, cell cycle, cell apoptosis, migration, and invasiveness of Hep-2 cells.

RESULTSCompared with NP-69 cells, Hep-2 cells, FaDu cells, and CNE-2Z cells all showed significantly increased MALAT-1expression. In Hep-2 cells, knockdown of MALAT-1 significantly inhibited the cell proliferation, increased the cell percentagein S phase ( < 0.01), decreased the cell percentage in G2/M phase ( < 0.01), and attenuated the migration and invasiveness of thecells.

CONCLUSIONSMALAT-1 is over-expressed in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and knocking down MALAT-1 gene cansignificantly suppress the proliferation, invasion and migration and promotes apoptosis of the cancer cells.

Objective To explore the clinical features and treatment of thyroid carcinoma in children. Method The clinical data of 19 children under 14 years old with thyroid carcinoma diagnosed and treated from January 2003 to January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Results In 19 cases (12 males and 7 females), there were 18 cases of papillocarcinoma and one case pf follicular carcinoma. Unilateral lobectomy plus isthmectomy was performed in 6 cases, subtotal thyroidectomy in 4 cases and total thyroidectomy in 9 cases. Unilateral cervical lymph node dissection was performed in 5 cases and bilateral in 11 cases. After the operation, multiple lesions were confirmed by pathology in 9 cases, thyroid capsular invasion in 14 cases, lymphatic metastasis in 15 cases and distant metastasis in 5 cases. All the patients were treated with TSH, and 10 cases were treated with 131I after operation. The median follow-up time was 63 months. There was no death in all cases, while local residual tumor recurrence was found in 2 cases and cervical lymph node metastasis in 2 cases and distant metastasis in one case. Conclusion Thyroid carcinoma in children is mostly well-differentiated, so the overall prognosis is better. However, children who have extracapsular invasion, multiple lesions in bilateral thyroid, cervical lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis are at high risks and should be treated with comprehensive therapy that includes total thyroidectomy.
