ABSTRACT

Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of p53 and PD-L1 in ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy specimens of breast cancer, and to analyze their application value.Methods:Ninety-eight patients who underwent ultrasound-guided coarse needle puncture biopsy and radical operation admitted to our hospital from Aug. 2021 to Sep. 2022 were selected as the study objects. The clinical data of patients were collected, the expression of p53 and PD-L1 in puncture biopsy specimens and radical surgical excision specimens were detected by immunohistochemical experiment, and the consistency was analyzed. Statistical test was used to analyze the relationship between the expression of p53 and PD-L1 and the pathological parameters of patients.Results:In 98 patients, the positive rate of p53 and PD-L1 in core needle biopsy specimens was 48.0% and 55.1%, respectively. The positive rate of p53 and PD-L1 in radical operative specimens was 62.2% and 61.2%, respectively. The concordance rates of p53 and PD-L1 were 63.6% ( κ=0.441, P<0.001) and 65.3% ( κ=0.505, P<0.001) between core needle biopsy specimens and radical operative specimens. Taking the results of radical operative specimens as the standard, the cases with positive expression of p53 and PD-L1 in core needle biopsy specimens were all positive in radical operative specimens, and the specificity was 100%. p53 was determined negative in 25 coarse needle biopsy specimens, however, p53 was positive in radical surgical specimens, and the false negative rate of coarse needle puncture was 49.0 %. PD-L1 was determined negative in 20 coarse needle biopsy specimens, but it was determined positive in radical operative specimens, and the false negative rate of coarse needle puncture was 41.7 %. There was no significant correlation between the consistency rate of p53 and PD-L1 expression and the number of puncture cores, the length of puncture cores, the length of invasive carcinoma and the proportion of invasive carcinoma (all P>0.05). The expressions of p53 and PD-L1 in core needle biopsy specimens were significantly correlated with tumor size, pTNM stage and Ki67 (all P<0.05), but not with age, BMI, family history, histological type or Nottingham histological grade (all P>0.05) . Conclusion:The concordance rates of p53 and PD-L1 expression between ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy specimens and radical resection specimens of breast cancer were 63.6% and 65.3%, respectively, and the specificity of positive detection results were both 100%, which has certain guiding significance for the clinical treatment of breast cancer.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the characteristics of exposure to micro- and nano-plastics (MPs) via food ingestion and inhalation among Chinese children including 6-7 years old school children in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Methods Articles published until March 2021 were searched on PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and Weipu databases. The exposure levels of MPs by food ingestion and inhalation pathways were estimated by referring to the Chinese children food consumption and breathing rates data. The characteristics of children’s exposure to MPs in China were compared with that in the United States. In addition, the consumption of bottled water, tap water and salt intake among children aged 6-7 years was determined in a cohort of children and adolescents in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. The characteristics of exposure to MPs through food intake and inhalation among them were investigated. Results A total of 5 786 samples from 38 studies were retrieved. Annual intake of MPs among Chinese children was estimated to range from 159 400 to 204 637 MPs from food ingestion, depending on age and sex. When inhalation exposure is also considered, the annual MPs intake increased to 164 635 to 213 032 MPs, which were larger than the values in American persons. Ingestion of MPs posed the largest health risk to male Chinese adults. With the questionnaire survey data, the estimated annual total exposure amount through food intake alone is 116 272‒120 334 MPs for 6 to 7 years old school children in Pudong New Area. With addition of inhalation exposure, the annual total exposure amount is 121 300‒125 983 MPs, which is lower than the average exposure level in the whole country. The discrepancy could be mainly due to the different drinking habits between the local children and others. Overall, tap drinking water, seafood,bottled water, and air represented four substantial vectors of daily MPs exposure in Chinese children. Conclusion Ingestion and inhalation of MPs pose higher health risk to Chinese children in comparison to American children. The level of exposure to MPs among 6 to 7 years old school children in Pudong New Area of Shanghai is lower than that in the same age group of children across the whole country. The attempt to lower the MPs levels in drinking water and seafood would represent the most effective means to help reduce the MPs exposure risk to Chinese children.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To explore the effects and molecular mechanisms of histone methylase G9a inhibitor BIX-01294 on apoptosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods    MTT assay and Colony-forming Units were adopted to determine the effects of BIX-01294 on the growth and proliferation of ESCC cell lines EC109 and KYSE150. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the apoptosis status of ESCC cells after the treatment of BIX-01294. The effects of BIX-01294 treatment on the expressions of G9a catalytic product H3K9me2, DNA double-strand break (DSB) markers, and apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blotting. Results    BIX-01294 inhibited the growth of EC109 and KYSE150 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05), and BIX-01294 with the inhibitory concentration 50%(IC50) significantly inhibited the formation of colony (P<0.05). After 24 hours treatment of BIX-01294 (IC50), the apoptosis rate of EC109 cells increased from 11.5%±2.1% to 42.5%±5.4%, and KYSE150 cells from 7.5%±0.9% to 49.2%±5.2%(P<0.05). The expression level of the G9a catalytic product, H3K9me2, significantly decreased (P<0.05); while the expression of the DSB marker γH2AX was dramatically enhanced (P<0.05). We also found that the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway was activated and the expression levels of cleaved caspase3 and cleaved PARP were significantly elevated (P<0.05). Conclusion    BIX-01294, the inhibitor of methyltransferase G9a, prompted apoptosis in ESCC cells by inducing DSB damage and activating mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

ABSTRACT

In order to unveil ubiquitin pathway genes (UPGs) that are essential for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell proliferation, we recently conducted a siRNA screening experiment to knockdown the expression of 696 UPGs found in the human genome in A549 and H1975 NSCLC cells. We found that silencing of one of the candidates, RFWD3 that encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase essential for the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links in response to DNA damage, led to dramatic inhibition of NSCLC cell proliferation with significant Z-scores. Knockdown of RFWD3 suppressed colony forming activity of NSCLC cells.We further evaluated the significance of RFWD3 in NSCLCs and found that this gene was more elevated in tumor samples than in paired normal lung tissues and was inversely associated with the clinical outcome of patients with NSCLC. Moreover, RFWD3 expression was significantly higher in smokers than in non-smokers. These results show for the first time that RFWD3 is required for NSCLC cell proliferation and may have an important role in lung carcinogenesis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a mouse model of psoriasis complicated by bone loss by long-term topical application of imiquimod. Methods Twelve 10-week-old Kunming mice were randomly and equally divided into 2 groups:experimental group topically treated with 50 mg/d imiquimod cream every day on the shaved back, and control group topically treated with equivalent vaseline ointment every day on the shaved back. Skin manifestations were observed on the mouse back every day. The mice were sacrificed 10 weeks later. Before the sacrifice, the degree of erythema, scaling and skin thickening was evaluated, psoriasis area severity index(PASI)was calculated, mouse weight was measured, and eyeball blood was obtained. After the sacrifice, skin lesions on the back were resected and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining, so as to evaluate histological changes. Then, the left tibia was obtained from the mice, immunohistochemical staining was performed to observe the expression and distribution of osteoprotegerin(OPG)and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-β ligand(RANKL)in bone tissues, and micro-computerized tomography was conducted to determine the bone mass of spongy bone, and the bone volume-to-total volume ratio, number, thickness, spacing and connectivity density of the trabecular bone in the proximal tibia. The left femur was also obtained from the mice, and subjected to three-point bending test for evaluating its biomechanical properties. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed to detect serum levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-αand interleukin(IL)-17. RNA was extracted from the right tibia, and real-time PCR was conducted to determine the mRNA expression of OPG and RANKL. Two-independent-sample t test was used to compare the above indices between two groups. Results Ten-week topical stimulation with imiquimod could lead to psoriasiform dermatitis on the mouse back, presenting as erythema, scales and skin thickening. The PASI score was significantly higher in the experimental group(9.167 ± 1.722)than in the control group(0, t=13.31, P<0.001). Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed thickened spinous layer, extended rete ridges, infiltration of inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis, spongiosis, vasodilatation and increased hair follicles in the experimental group. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the expression of OPG and RANKL was significantly higher in the experimental group(16021.33 ± 1954.61, 35433.33 ± 1197.95 respectively)than in the control group(3307.00 ± 1158.72, 13644.67 ± 4764.61, respectively;t=9.692, 7.682 respectively, both P < 0.01). Micro-computerized tomography showed that the bone volume-to-total volume ratio and thickness of trabecular bone in the proximal tibia were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group, but the spacing of trabecular bone was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.01 or<0.05). There were no significant differences in the elastic modulus and fracture energy of the femur between the experimental group and control group(both P>0.05). Moreover, no significant differences in the serum levels of TNF-αand IL-17 were observed between the two groups(both P>0.05). Real-time PCR revealed that the mRNA expression of OPG and RNAKL was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05,<0.01 respectively). Conclusions Long-term topical application of imiquimod can not only induce psoriasiform dermatitis in mice, but also lead to bone loss of spongy bone and micro-architectural deterioration in the proximal tibia. Thus, mouse models of psoriasis complicated by bone loss can be established by long-term imiquimod stimulation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics of pregnancy medication in obstetric patients of our hospital, and to provide reference for promoting rational drug use in obstetric department. METHODS: Using hospital information system, 30 prescriptions of women who produced in our hospital were randomly selected monthly from Jan. 2015 to 30th, 2017. The modes of production and pregnancy outcomes were recorded. The drugs used during pregnancy in our hospital were summarized. Statistical analysis was made on the number of cases, varieties and frequency of drug use in neonatal outcomes and different stages of pregnancy. The rationality of drug use in different stages of pregnancy was evaluated. RESULTS: Totally 1 076 valid prescriptions were collected, including 528, 343 and 205 cases aged 21-30, 31-34, 35 and above, 462 cases with cesarean and 614 patients with spontaneous labor, 1 041 cases with single fetus and 35 cases with twins, 1 089 neonates with APGAR score of 8-10,20 neonates with 4-7,and 2 neonates with 0-3, 96 neonates with low birth weight and 4 neonates with abnormal. The rate of drug use during pregnancy was as high as 96.65% (1 040/1 076). The utilization rate of drugs were 55.19% (574/1 040), 99.42% (1 034/  1 040) and 57.98% (603/1 040) in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy, involving 137 drugs. Classification of top 3 drugs in the list of frequency were drugs for digestive tract and metabolic diseases for Fuzheng agent (Chinese patent medicine) and for sex hormones and regulators of reproductive system in the first trimesters of pregnancy, and for digestive tract and metabolism, urinary and reproductive system and cardiovascular system in the second trimesters, for digestive tract and metabolism, blood and hematopoietic organs and systemic hormones except sex hormones and insulin in the third trimesters. There were unreasonable use of drugs in the first trimester and there were also abnormalities outcomes of birth, but the correlation between abnormalities and drugs used during pregnancy could not be determined in the study. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of drugs used during pregnancy was high, and the value of DDDs was highest in the second trimester; the types of drugs used in different periods basically accord with the epidemiological characteristics of pregnancy. However, there are some unreasonable medication problems and potential safety hazards in medication during pregnancy, which need to be further rectified. The correlation between adverse pregnancy outcomes and drugs used during pregnancy has not been determined, and needs to be studied with large sample data.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the expression of prostaglandin E2 receptor subtypes, E-prostanoid (EP) 1–4 receptors, in acquired cholesteatoma and its possible role in the pathologic process of this disorder. METHODS: Specimens of human acquired cholesteatoma were obtained from 29 patients and 19 skin biopsies of normal external auditory canal were as controls. The mRNA and protein expression of EP receptors was assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry and Western blot. RESULTS: In acquired cholesteatoma, EP1–EP4 receptors were mainly expressed on squamous epithelium and subepithelial infiltrated inflammatory cells. In external auditory canal skin, EP1–EP4 receptors were mainly expressed on squamous epithelium and glandular epithelium. The expression of EP4 receptor on mRNA and protein levels were significant lower in acquired cholesteatoma compared with controls. EP1–EP3 receptors had no significant difference between the experimental and control group. CONCLUSION: Low expression of EP4 may play a crucial role in the pathologic process of inflammation reaction and bone destruction in acquired cholesteatoma, but not EP1, EP2, or EP3 receptors.

Objective To establish a rat model of tympanosclerosis(TS) by myringotomy and inoculation of streptococcus pneummoniae, and to observe the morphological change in the tympanic membrane (TM) and middle ear mucous.Methods Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups (n=20/group) and then ten in each group were chosen to serve as the control and the other ten were set up for the TS model.Group A (myringotomy): myringotomy was performed on the bilateral TMs of all rats except the control group.Group B (bacterial inoculation): streptococcus pneumoniae was inoculated into the bilateral middle ear cavity of all rats except the control group.The condition of the TMs and the middle ears in the two groups were respectively examined at 2 weeks after myringotomy and at the five time points (1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, and 8 weeks) after bacterial inoculation.Then the rats were decapitated and the morphological changes were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.Results One rat in group B died two weeks after the inoculation.In the two experimental groups, the calcifications were observed in 70%of the TMs (14/20) in group A and in 33.33%of the TMs (6/18) at 8 weeks in group B.At the same time, the inflammatory infiltration and hyaline degeneration markedly appeared in the tympanic membrane and middle ear mucous membrane.In the two control groups, neither morphological changes nor calcifications occurred.Conclusion The current study indicated that the animal model of TS was successfully accomplished by myringotomy and inoculation of streptococcus pneummoniae, and their morphological changes were basically consistent.However, the method of myringotomy is easier to use and can obtain a higher modeling rate in a relatively short time.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of congenital ptosis on refractive power of the corneal surface.Methods Forty-five patients (90 eyes) with congenital ptosis in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were examined from October 2013 to June 2015.Corneal topographic analysis was performed in both the ptosis and the normal eyes.The comparison between the ptotic eye and the normal eye was done according to the topographic results.Results Among 90 eyes,55 were ptotic and 35 were normal.Amblyopia was detected in 21 ptotic eyes (38.2%).No correlation was found between amblyopia and the severity of ptosis (x 2=2.617,P>0.05).Ptotic eye showed an asymmetrical bow tie pattern (23 eyes) and an irregular pattern (32 eyes) on corneal photography and the maximum refractive power occurred at the inferior quadrant of the corneal horizontal axis.Difference value of the average refractive power of the cornea between lower side and upper side in ptotic eyes was higher than that of the normal eyes at 5mm and 7mm diameter areas (P<0.01) except for 3mm diameter area (P> 0.05).Conclusion Congenital ptosis may lead to the change of refractive power of the local corneal surface.Amblyopia has no correlation with the severity of ptosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the lung protective effect of sustained inflation(SI)and its mechanism for exogenous acute lung injury(ALI) animal models. Methods Exogenous acute lung injury animal models were replicated using intravenous injection of oleic acid. Immunohistochemis?try and double antibody sandwich ELISA were carried out to detect IL?10 and IL?6 protein levels in lung tissues and serum. Western blot was used to detect the expression level of SP?A in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF). The expression of ICAM?1 and SP?A mRNA in lung tis?sue was measured by reverse transcription PCR. The apoptosis of lung tissue cells was detected by flow cytometry. Results The maintenance of 20 s lung recruitment method of 35 cmH2O pressure could improve PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2,reduce PaCO2,and improve oxygenation and pulmonary com?pliance. The re?expansion effect of sustained inflation for exogenous acute lung injury was good. The IL?10 and IL?6 levels in lung tissue and serum for SI group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05). The SP?A expression level of lung tissue and BALF in SI group was significantly reduced compared with the control group(P<0.05). Flow cytometry analysis showed that the apoptosis rate of SI group was significant?ly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Sustained inflation played an important role in lung protection against exogenous ALI through inhibition of apoptosis,lightening of inflammatory response,reduction of pulmonary edema and SP?A degradation in lung tissue,as well as promotion of SP?A synthesis and secretion in pulmonary alveolus.
