ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore and analyze the correlation between thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (Tg) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (papillary thyroid carcinoma, PTC) and to provide a more reasonable plan for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made of 142 PTC patients who underwent surgical resection from Jun. 2019 to Jun. 2022 in the Oncology Department of Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 115 patients were selected, including 25 males (21.74%), and 90 females (78.26%), and the average age was (43.48±9.74) years old. The medical records, pathology reports, and demographic characteristics and pathological characteristics were collected. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of TPO and Tg in PTC tissues, which were divided into positive and negative groups. Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients.Results:The negative rate of TPO was 95.45% (105 cases). Univariate analysis showed that the tumor diameter ( t=5.746), lymph node metastasis, and the proportion of PT1 patients were significantly different between the two groups ( P<0.05), the TPO negative group was significantly higher than the positive group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, and proportion of PT1 patients were independent factors (95% CI=2.367-5.365, 1.101-2.738, 1.103-2.589, P<0.05). The positive rate of Tg was 77.41% (89 cases). Univariate analysis showed the proportion of people with BMI ≥ 25 ( χ2=11.180), tumor diameter ( t=2.117), and intracapsular invasion ( χ2=8.354), extrathyroidal invasion, lymph node metastasis ( χ2=27.740), and proportion of PT1 patients were significantly different between the two groups ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis found BMI≥25, intracapsular invasion, extrathyroidal invasion, lymph node metastasis, proportion of PT1 patients were independent factors affecting Tg in patients with PTC (95% CI=3.845-11.735, 1.485-2.983,1.171-2.762,4.083-16.526,1.003-2.174, P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the expression of TPO and Tg in PTC ( r=-0.498, P<0.001) . Conclusion:TPO and Tg are highly correlated with tumor lymphatic metastasis, pathological grade, tumor diameter and tumor invasion range in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, and the expression of the two is negatively correlated, which can be used as effective indicators for evaluating the prognosis of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the correlation between urinary phthalate concentration and semen quality parameters.Methods:A total of 112 males with infertility in our hospital were set as infertility group. Another 65 healthy males who had given birth during the same period in our hospital were selected as control group. The semen samples obtained by urine and masturbation were collected in all the subjects. The semen quality parameters were detected by automatic color sperm quality detection system, and the concentrations of dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and Di 2-Ethyl Hexyl Phthalate (DEHP) in urine were measured by high performance liquid chromatography, and the correlation between concentrations of four phthalates and semen quality parameters was analyzed by spearman correlation coefficient.Results:The concentrations of DMP, DEP, DBP, DEHP and total phthalate in infertility group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P<0.05). The sperm density, sperm survival rate and ratios of a+ b level sperm and forward movement in infertility group were significantly lower than those in control group ( P<0.05), and the ratio of abnormal sperm was significantly higher than that in control group ( P<0.05). The concentrations of DMP, DEP, DBP and DEHP in urine were negatively correlated with sperm density, sperm survival rate and ratios of a+ b level sperm and forward movement ( P<0.05), and were positively correlated with abnormal sperm ratio ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The concentration of phthalate is high in urine of infertile males, and its concentration is negatively correlated with semen quality. Phthalate accumulation may be one of the important reasons for male infertility.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the distribution of single nucleotide polymorphism and haplotype of human leucocyte antigen G 3′untranslated region gene, which possibly could be predictive roles in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion patients.Methods:Case-control method was used in this study. 70 cases of pregnant women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion and 54 cases of prenatal examination women whose peripheral blood and serum were collected in Wenzhou Hospital of Chinese Traditional Medicine were recorded from June 2017 to July 2018. Blood gene DNA was extracted by centrifuge column and was amplified by polymerase chain reaction. Sanger sequencing method was used for genotyping. The genotypes frequency, linkage imbalance analysis and haplotypes construction of SNPs were analyzed by SHEsis online software and Phase software. Serum soluble HLA-G concentration was detected by ELISA.Results:There were eight SNPs, including 14bp ins/del,+3003C/T,+3010G/C,+3027A/C,+3035C/T,+3142C/G,+3187A/G and+3196C/G, were detected in both the URSA group and the control group. Results showed that the distribution differences of+3010G/C,+3142C/G and+3187A/G between the two groups were statistically significant (χ 2=8.514, P=0.004; χ 2=0.552, P=0.021; χ 2=8.183, P=0.005) .The C allele at the+3010G/C site and the G allele at the +3142C/G site might be risk factors for URSA ( OR=2.131, 95 %CI=1.278-3.552, χ 2=8.514, P=0.004; OR=1.813, 95 %CI=1.091-3.013, χ 2=0.552, P=0.021) ;the G allele at +3187A/G site might be a protective factor for URSA ( OR=0.476, 95 %CI=0.285-0.794, χ 2=8.183, P=0.005) .Haplotype analysis revealed that UTR-1 (DTGCCCGC) might be a protective factor for URSA ( OR=0.497, 95 %CI=0.295-0.837,χ 2=6.987, P=0.008), while UTR-3 (DTCCCGAC) might be a risk factor for URSA ( OR=1.732, 95 %CI=1.009-2.974, χ 2=3.998, P=0.045).The frequency of UTR-1/UTR-1 homozygous in URSA patients was lower than that in normal patients obviously( OR=0.381, 95 %CI=0.165-0.879, χ 2=5.292, P=0.024), which might be a protective factor for pregnancy. No association was found between serum soluble HLA-G and HLA-G 3′UTR gene haplotypes in URSA ( t=1.578, P=0.119) . Conclusions:HLA-G 3′UTR gene polymorphism and haplotypes are correlated with URSA. The study lays a foundation for future research and provides a basis for clinical individualized medicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate vitamin K3 (VK3) effect on apoptosis of human liver cancer cells and its mechanism. Methods The SMMC-7721 cells were cultured in the experiment. The inhibitory effects of VK3 on SMMC-7721 cells were tested by CCK-8. Morphological evaluation of apoptosis was performed by Hcechst33342 staining. The distribution of cell cycle and apoptosis, and the expression of Fas were assayed by flow cytometry. Fas mRNA expression were detected by RT-PCR. And the concentration of soluble Fas(sFasL) in the culture supernatant were measured by EIJSA. Results The inhibitory rates ofVK3 (at concentrations of 2,5,10,20,25 umol/L for 48 h) on SMMC-7721 growth were 33.8% ,50.1%,63.9% ,78.5% and 84.7%, respectively. Compared with the control group, the number of cells in the G0/G1 phase increased, while that of S phase decreased. The apoptotic cell rates were 18.75%, 25.80%,38.80% ,29.92% and 26.18% ,respectively. The apoptosis cells were strongly stained by Hcechst33342.On exposure to VK3 at the concentration of (2,5,10 umol/L) after 48 h, the mean fluorescence intensity ofFas on cell surface and the expression of fas mRNA and the concentration of FasL in the culture supematantin SMMC-7721 were increased, but they all decreased at the high concentration of VK3. Conclusion VK3can inhibit the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells and induce apoptosis via up-regulating expression of Fas and sFasL.
