ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the mechanism by which microRNA (miRNA) -1303 inhibits the proliferation and migration of renal cell carcinoma 786-O cells through targeted regulation of lysophosphatidic acid receptor 3 (LPAR3) expression.Methods:quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression of miR-1303 in renal cancer cell lines (A498, ACHN, 786-O, OS-RC-2) and normal renal tubular epithelial cells HK-2. The miR-1303 mimic and the negative control sequence were transfected into the renal cancer cells with the lowest expression of miR-1303, respectively, as the miR-1303 group and the negative control group. qRT-PCR detected the relative expression of miR-1303 in the two groups of cells. MTT method and Transwell migration experiment were used to detect cell proliferation and migration ability. RegRNA 2.0 predicted the target genes of miR-1303. The dual luciferase reporter gene detected the binding of miR-1303 to the target gene. qRT-PCR and Western blotting detected the relative expression of LPAR3. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), t-test was used for comparison between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups. Results:The expressions of miR-1303 in renal cancer cell lines A498, ACHN, 786-O, OS-RC-2 and normal renal tubular epithelial cells HK-2 were 0.51±0.04, 0.79±0.02, 0.21±0.04, 0.55±0.07 and 1.00±0.05, the expression of miR-1303 in renal cancer cell lines was lower than that in HK-2 ( P<0.05), and the relative expression in 786-O cells was the lowest ( F=29.50, P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the expression of miR-1303 in the experimental group was significantly increased [(1.00±0.01) vs (7.98±0.88), t=7.95, P<0.01]. The cell absorbance value of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The number of cell migration in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). miR-1303 can bind to LPAR3 mRNA in a complementary pair ( P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the expression of LPAR3 mRNA in the 786-O cells of the experimental group was significantly reduced [(1.00±0.01) vs (0.23±0.03), t=23.56, P<0.01]. Conclusion:miR-1303 may inhibit the proliferation and migration ability of renal cancer 786-O cells by down-regulating the expression of LPAR3.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To summarize the clinical manifestations and treatment of retinal artery occlusion and cerebral infarction caused by facial injection of hyaluronic acid.@*Methods@#Fifteen cases (15 eyes) with vision lose caused by facial cosmetic injection of hyaluronic acid visited Xi'an No.4 Hospital from December 2010 to January 2017. The clinical data were collected such as general medical history and treatment methods, and follow-up for 1 year.@*Results@#All patients were female, 22-41 years old, with average age of 33. All patients were injected with hyaluronic acid. For 8 patients the fillers were injected in the forehead, 3 patients were in the glabellar region, 3 patients were in the nasolabial fold, and 1 patient was in the temporal of left eye. All patients had vision lose after injection, the visiting time was 1 to 6 hours. 13 patients were central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). 1 patient was retinal branch artery occlusion (BRAO), 1 patient was ischemic optic neuropathy (ION), 13 patients manifested as no light perception (NLP), 1 patient was 0.6, 1 patient was CF/30 cm, and 14 patients with cerebral infarction, manifested as headache, dizziness. All patients were given emergency treatment, and 9 patients had treated with interventional thrombolysis therapy. After treatment 11 patients, visual acuity had no significant improvement, but 4 patients improved. Headache, dizziness symptoms disappeared, but cerebral infarction lesions still existed on MRI.@*Conclusions@#Human face is a rich blood supply; vision loss and cerebral infarction could occur after injection of hyaluronic acid. After urgent treatment visual acuity is not improved obviously, eventually leading to irreversible visual impairment or even loss.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of continuous care on acute leukemia (AL) children with PICC in remission induction stage after discharge from hospital. Methods 102 AL children with PICC during July 2014 and December 2016 were enrolled and then were randomly divided into study group (n=52) and control group (n=50): the control group was given routine discharge guidance, and the study group received continuous care, which contained synchronous health education to children and parents before discharge, home visits, patient management through WeChat platform and lectures and psychological support. The parental care ability and quality of life of children after 3 months were evaluated, and PICC complications were recorded during intubation. Result The self-care ability,negative emotions like anxiety and depression and quality of life in the study group were all significantly improved as compared with the control group and the time for intubation was shorter and the total rate of complications lower as well(P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous nursing can significantly improve the parental self-care ability of the AL children with PICC after discharge,reduce complications from intubation and improve their quality of life and help to improve parent's the negative emotions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of half-dose verteporfin and half-fluence photodynamic therapy in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods The medical records of 42 patients (42 eyes) with chronic CSC were retrospectively reviewed.According to the difference of drug dose and laser parameters in the course of PDT,the patients were divided into two groups:half-dose group and half-fluence group.Half-dose group:22 patients (22 eyes) received half-dose verteporfin(3 mg· m-2)and standard PDT(83 s,50 J · cm-2).Half-fluence group:20 patients (20 eyes) received full-dose verteporfin (6 mg · m-2) and half-fluence PDT (42 s,25 J · cm-2).Patients were followed up at 1 month,3 months,6 months after PDT.The outcome measures was the proportion of eyes with complete resolution of subretinal fluid(SRF),the changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness(CMT).Results At 6 months after PDT,22 eyes(100%) that received half-dose PDT showed complete resolution of SRF,19 eyes(95%)that received half-fulence PDT showed complete resolution of SRF.There was no statistical difference between two groups (P > 0.05).At 6 months after PDT,the mean BCVA improved 7.2 letters in half-dose group and 6.7 letters in half-fluence group.There was no statistical difference compared with the improvement of BCVA between two groups(P > 0.05).In half-dose group,mean baseline central retinal thickness was (351 ± 90) μm,which was decreased to (178 ±55) μm after 6 months,respectively (P < 0.05).In half-fluence group,mean baseline central retinal thickness was (322 ± 96) μm,which was decreased to (181 ± 47) μm after 6 months,respectively (P < 0.05).None of the patients developed retinal pigment epithelium atrophy and CNV.Conclusion Half-dose verteporfm PDT and half-fluence PDT are effective and safe in the treatment of chronic CSC.
