ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the expression of long non－coding ＲNA SFTA1P in non small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) and its biological function in NSCLC cell lines． Methods Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction( qＲT－PCＲ) was used to detect the expression of SFTA1P in 18 pairs of NSCLC tissues and adjacent normal tissues． The expression of SFTA1P was detected by qＲT－PCＲ in five different NSCLC cell lines ( A549，SPCA1，H460，H1975 and H1299) and one normal lung epithelial cell line ( HBE) ． The overexpression vector of SFTA1P was designed and constructed． The overex- pressed cell line was constructed by transfection，the effects of overexpression of SFTA1P on proliferation， invasion and migration of NSCLC cells were detected by CCK－8 assay and transwell assay． Ｒesults The expression of SFTA1P in NSCLC tissues was lower than that of adjacent normal tissues ( t = 2. 158，P = 0. 043) ． SFTA1P expression was detected in 5 strains of NSCLC cell lines and normal lung epithelial cell line． The expression of SFTA1P was the lowest in A549 and H460 cell lines ( t = 5. 769，P = 0. 004; t = 5. 772，P= 0. 004) ，and the highest in H1299 and H1975 cell lines ( t = 22. 248，P＜0. 001; t = 11. 814，P ＜0. 001) ． SFTA1P overexpression cell models were successfully constructed using A549 and H460 cell lines( all P＜0．05) ． The overexpression of SFTA1P could inhibit proliferation，invasion and migration of H460 and A549 cells ( ( all P ＜ 0． 05) ． Conclusions SFTA1P can affect the biological functions of NSCLC cells by inhibiting the proliferation，migration and invasion． SFTA1P may play a role as a tumor suppressor gene in tumorigenesis and development．
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#Obstetric hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal death during cesarean delivery. The objective of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-operative cell salvage (IOCS) in cesarean section.@*METHODS@#We included a total of 361 patients diagnosed with central placenta previa who underwent cesarean section from May 2016 to December 2018. In this study, 196 patients received autologous transfusion using IOCS (IOCS group) and 165 patients accepted allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT group). Propensity score matched analysis was performed to balance differences in the baseline variables between the IOCS group and ABT group. Patients in the IOCS group were matched 1:1 to patients in the ABT group.@*RESULTS@#After propensity score matching, 137 pairs of cases between the two groups were successfully matched and no significant differences in baseline characteristics were found between the IOCS group and ABT group. Patients in the IOCS group were associated with significantly shorter length of hospital stay, compared with ABT group (8.9 ± 4.1 days vs. 10.3 ± 5.2 days, t = -2.506, P = 0.013). The postoperative length of hospital stay was 5.3 ± 1.4 days for patients in the IOCS group and 6.6 ± 3.6 days for those in the ABT group (t = -4.056, P < 0.001). The post-operative hemoglobin level in the IOCS group and ABT group was 101.3 ± 15.4 and 96.3 ± 16.6 g/L, respectively, which were significantly different (t = 2.615, P = 0.009). Allogeneic red blood cell transfusion was significantly lower at 0 unit (range: 0-11.5 units) in the IOCS group when compared with 2 units (range: 1-20 units) in the ABT group (P < 0.001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#This retrospective observational study using propensity score matched analysis suggested that IOCS was associated with shorter length of postoperative hospital stay and higher post-operative hemoglobin levels during cesarean delivery.
