ABSTRACT
Acute spinal cord injury（ASCI），commonly seen in spinal surgery，is usually caused by mechanical injury to the spine. ASCI can lead to secondary lung injury and even acute respiratory distress syndrome（ARDS），seriously endangering the life safety of patients. Damage-associated molecular pattern（DAMP）is a sort of endogenous substances released after injury，including intracellular proteins，extracellular matrix，secretory factors and nucleic acid-related products. DAMP released after ASCI activates downstream signaling pathways and participates in lung injuries. DAMP-related studies have revealed molecular mechanism of lung injury after ASCI，and explored the possible therapeutic targets of lung injury. In this study，the authors review the mechanism of action of DAMP in lung injury after ASCI and the role of different kinds of DAMP in lung injury，so as to provide new ideas for clinical treatment of lung injury after ASCI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of miR-107 on the function of human non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 and its possible target genes.Methods The experiment was divided into the liposome+miR-107 mimics overexpression group(OV-miR-107 group),liposome+miR-107 inhibiting mimics downregulation group(KD-miR-107 group)and liposome+ negative control mimics group(NC group).The cell transfections of siRNA were siRNA-1,siRNA-2 and siRNA-3 respectively.The cellular prolifer-ation capacity was detected by MTT assay.The cellular cycle was detected by flow cytometry.The dual luciferase reporter gene as-say was performed to detect the downstream target gene of miR-107.The real time quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blot were respectively employed to examine mRNA and protein expression levels of downstream target gene.Results miR-107 inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner(P<0.05).miR-107 arrested more A549 cells at the G0G1phase,and the proportions of S phase and G2M phase were decreased(P<0.05).miR-107 combinded with the 246 bp-253 bp of CCNE1 3′-untranslated region,and decreased mRNA and protein expression of CCNE1(P<0.05);after down-regulating CC-NE1 in A549 cells,siRNA-2 inhibited cellular proliferation(P<0.05)and blocked the cells to stay at G0G1phase(P<0.05).Con-clusion miR-107 inhibits the proliferation of human non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 and regulates the cellular cycle by tar-geting CCNE1.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical application and safety of CT-guided transthoracic cutting needle lung biopsy in diagnosing diffuse lung diseases. Methods By using automatic biopsy gun (14 & 16 gauge), CT-guided transthoracic cutting needle lung biopsy was performed in 29 cases with diffuse lung diseases. The samples obtained were sent for pathological and immunohistochemical examination. The sampling successful rate, the diagnostic accuracy and the occurrence of complications were analyzed. Results Technical success rate was 100%, and large size of sample enough for pathological and immunohistochemical examination was obtained in all 29 cases. Definite pathological diagnosis could be made in 25 cases, with the positive diagnostic rate of 82.8%. The main complications included pneumothorax and pulmonary hemorrhage. The symptoms in most cases were not severe and disappeared within one week after the treatment. Conclusion For the diagnosis of diffuse lung diseases, CT-guided transthoracic cutting needle lung biopsy is a safe, easy, effective and reliable method with high successful rate, high diagnostic value and fewer complications, in these respects this technique is superior to transbronchial lung biopsy, open lung biopsy and video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy. Therefore, this technique should be popularized in clinical practice.
