ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the utilization of Internet plus nursing service and its influencing factors.Methods:From October 2018 to January 2019, 247 patients registered on the Internet plus nursing service platform were randomly surveyed to understand the status quo of Internet plus nursing service. The influencing factors were analyzed based on the Anderson health service model.Results:Among the 247 patients who received Internet plus nursing, 74.5%(184 cases) were women. The average age was 37 years(20-81 years). The median number of times of nursing service received by the patients was 2 times. Infusion was the most accepted nursing service on the platform. Patients who are older, do not have basic medical insurance, the source of routine care is not a Class A tertiary hospital, and do not have chronic diseases used the Internet platform to receive nursing services more frequently.Conclusions:Internet plus nursing service has been initially recognized by patients. The predisposing factor affecting the tendency of individuals to continue using Internet plus nursing services is age, enabling factors are health insurance status and regular nursing sources, and the need factor is chronic disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the expression and clinic significance of long non-coding RNA ZEB1-AS1 in breast cancer. Methods A total of 130 patients with breast cancer in Baoji Central Hospital of Shaanxi Province from June 2007 to April 2015 were selected. Quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the expression level of ZEB1-AS1 in breast cancer tissues and corresponding normal tissues,and the rela-tionships between the expression level of ZEB1-AS1 and the clinic characteristics of the patients and their overall survival time were analyzed. siRNA was used to disturb the expression of ZEB1-AS1. CCK-8 assay, clone formation assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the proliferation,cloning ability and migration of breast cancer MCF-7 cells in control group,siRNA-1 group and siRNA-2 group. Results The expression level of ZEB1-AS1 in breast cancer tissues was higher than that in corresponding normal tissues[M(QR ):0. 0016 (0. 0051)vs. 0. 0009(0. 0015);Z = - 4. 426,P < 0. 001]. The higher expression of ZEB1-AS1 was correlated with lymphatic metastasis(χ2 = 9. 148,P = 0. 027),negative human epidermal growth factor recep-tor 2(χ2 = 5. 039,P = 0. 025),triple negative breast cancer(χ2 = 4. 597,P = 0. 032). The patients with the higher expression of ZEB1-AS1 had a shorter overall survival time compared with the patients with the lower expression of ZEB1-AS1(χ2 = 14. 340,P < 0. 001). CCK-8 assay showed that knock down of ZEB1-AS1 after 72 h,the absorbance values of the control group,siRNA-1 group and siRNA-2 group were 0. 605 ± 0. 049, 0. 488 ± 0. 054,0. 417 ± 0. 038 respectively,with a statistically significant different( F = 15. 936,P <0. 001),and the two siRNA groups were significantly inhibited in cell proliferation compared with the control group(both P < 0. 05). The colonies of the control group,siRNA-1 group and siRNA-2 group were 297. 5 ± 11. 4,192. 0 ± 12. 1,204. 8 ± 12. 8 respectively,with a statistically significant different(F = 112. 526,P <0. 001),and the two siRNA groups were significantly inhibited in the cell clone compared with the control group(both P < 0. 001). The migratory cells numbers of the control group,siRNA-1 group and siRNA-2 group were 184. 5 ± 8. 6,147. 5 ± 18. 6,57. 6 ± 7. 3 respectively,with a statistically significant different( F =12. 409,P = 0. 001),and the two siRNA groups were significantly inhibited in the cell migration(both P <0. 001). Conclusion ZEB1-AS1 is overexpressed in breast cancer,overexpression of ZEB1-AS1 induces a shorter overall survival in breast cancer patients,and knock down of ZEB1-AS1 can inhibit the proliferation, migration and colony formation ability of the breast cancer cell line.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a gastric cancer cell line with stable expression of metastasis-associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1) and detect the changes in tumor-related gene expression profiles for investigating the possible regulation mechanisms between MACC1 and the differentially expressed genes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The full-length MACC1 cDNA was amplified from human embryonic kidney 293FT cells and cloned into the pBaBb-puro vector. The recombinant pBaBb-puro-MACC1 expression vector, after identification with restriction enzyme digestion, was transfected into 293FT cells, and the expression of fluorescent reporter gene was observed. pBaBb-puro-MACC1 vector was transfected into human gastric cancer BGC-823 cell line to establish BGC-823/pBaBb-puro-MACC1 cell line stably expressing MACC1. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect MACC1 expression in both BGC-823/pBaBb-puro-MACC1 and control BGC-823 cells. High-throughout cDNA microarray was used to screen the effects of MACC1 on the gene expression profiles of gastric cancer cells.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The recombinant pBaBb-puro-MACC1 plasmid was successfully constructed and verified by PCR and sequencing. BGC-823/pBaBb-puro-MACC1 cells showed significantly increased MACC1 mRNA expression as compared with the control cells. The results of cDNA microarray identified 33 up-regulated and 24 down-regulated genes in the cells after MACC1 transfection involved were in various cellular functions.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The established BGC-823/pBaBb-puro-MACC1 gastric cancer cell line show some important molecular changes caused by MACC1.</p>
