ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the differential diagnostic value of abdominal diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) combined with serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP), des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin (DCP), and the ratio of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase to alanine transaminase (GTP/ALT) in the diagnosis of benign and malignant liver tumors.Methods:Ninety liver tumor patients admitted to the Chenzhou First People′s Hospital from February 2020 to May 2022 were selected, including 48 malignant tumors and 42 benign tumors, and were divided into malignant group and benign group. The imaging findings of routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and DWI examination were analyzed for two groups of patients. We compared the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, serum AFP, DCP levels, and GTP/ALT between two groups of patients. The diagnostic value of DWI, individual and combined detection of various serological indicators for malignant tumors was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:There were significant differences in MRI and DWI imaging manifestations between the malignant and benign groups of patients. The ADC values and ADC index of patients in the malignant group at different b values of 50, 400, and 800 s/mm 2 were lower than those in the benign group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The serum AFP, DCP, and GTP/ALT of patients in the malignant group were higher than those in the benign group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis results showed that the sensitivity and specificity of DWI combined with serum AFP, DCP, and GTP/ALT in diagnosing liver malignant tumors were higher than those of DWI alone and each serological indicator alone. Conclusions:The combination of DWI, serum AFP, DCP, and GTP/ALT has high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing liver malignant tumors, and has certain clinical value in distinguishing between benign and malignant liver tumors.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MTATP6P1 in melanoma and its effect on the proliferation, migration and invasion of melanoma cells by targeting miRNA-411-5p (miR-411-5p).Methods:A total of 461 samples of melanoma tissues and paracancerous tissues (>2 cm from the tumor margin) were collected from the tumor-associated lncRNA database (TANRIC database updated in July 2021), and the expression of MTATP6P1 was compared between the two groups. The bioinformatics software lncRNA Disease v2.0 was used to predict the possible binding site microRNA (miRNA) of MTATP6P1. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression level of MTATP6P1 in melanoma cells A-375, WM266-4, VMM5A, A2058 and normal human epidermal melanocytes PIG1; and the lowest relative expression level of cells in MTATP6P1 were divided into MTATP6P1 group (transfected with MTATP6P1 overexpression plasmid) and NC group (transfected with blank plasmid). The proliferation ability of A-375 cells was detected by using CCK-8 method; the migration ability of A-375 cells was detected by using scratch test; the invasion ability of A-375 cells was detected by using Transwell assay; the targeting relationship between MTATP6P1 and miR-411-5p was detected by using dual luciferase reporter gene assay; Western blot was used to detect the expression of ERK signaling pathway related proteins in cells.Results:The relative expression levels of MTATP6P1 in melanoma tissues and adjacent tissues were 9.82±0.58 and 11.56±0.16, respectively. The expression level of MTATP6P1 in melanoma tissues was lower than that in paracancerous tissues ( t = 9.56, P = 0.009). The relative expression levels of MTATP6P1 in normal human epidermal melanocyte PIG1 and melanoma cells A-375, WM266-4, VMM5A, and A2058 were 1.01±0.13, 0.12±0.02, 0.66±0.04, 0.39±0.07, 0.49±0.05; the relative expression level of MTATP6P1 in melanoma cells was lower than that in PIG1 cells (all P < 0.05), and then A-375 cells with the lowest relative expression level were taken to perform the subsequent experiments. The relative expression levels of MTATP6P1 in A-375 cells of MTATP6P1 group and NC group were 14.83±1.67 and 1.02±0.30, respectively ( t = 8.13, P < 0.001). After 16, 24, 32, and 40 h of culture, the proliferation ability of the cells in the MTATP6P1 group was lower than that in NC group (all P < 0.05). The scratch healing rates of A-375 cells in MTATP6P1 group and NC group were (26±7)% and (55±4)%, respectively; the scratch healing rate in MTATP6P1 group was lower than that in NC group ( t = 3.48, P = 0.009). The invasive number of A-375 cells in MTATP6P1 group and NC group were (32±12) and (116±17), respectively; the number of invasive cells in MTATP6P1 group was lower than that in NC group ( t = 4.11, P = 0.006). The results of dual luciferase reporter gene assay showed that there was a targeting relationship between MTATP6P1 and miR-411-5p. The relative expression level of miR-411-5p in A-375 cells of MTATP6P1 group and NC group was 1.04±0.16 and 5.37±0.68, respectively; the expression level of miR-411-5p in MTATP6P1 group was lower than that in NC group ( t = 6.20, P < 0.001). The expressions of ERK signaling pathway proteins p-Ras, p-Raf, p-MEK1, p-RSK, and AP-1 in A-375 cells of MTATP6P1 group were lower than those in NC group. Conclusions:MTATP6P1 inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of melanoma A-375 cells through targeting miR-411-5p.

ABSTRACT

Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a type of rare brain tumor located in posterior fossa. A patient with LDD located in the left cerebellum and vermis was admitted by the Department of Neurosurgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. MRI scan showed slightly heterogeneous enhancement at the region close to vermis. The patient underwent partial resection on August 11, 2016 without postoperative chemoradiotherapy. The progress free survival was 11 months and the overall survival was 17 months. What the case reveals is that the partial resection is not beneficial to these patients with LDD as the residual lesion probably recurs in a short term after operation. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of LDD are explored and summarized in combination with relevant literature.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:To control blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipids and inhibit the rennin-angiotensin system is the main idea focused on the treatment of diabetic nephropathy, but the curative effect is unsatisfactory. Hemodialysis and kidney transplantation are suitable for serious cases, however, which is restricted because of the limited source of kidneys and high cost. Regenerative medicine research based on stem cells brings a new hope for treatment of diabetic nephropathy. OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively analyze the mechanism underlying different sources of stem cells for treatment of diabetic nephropathy and the clinical implications. METHODS:Papers addressing stem cells for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy were retrieved by computer in CNKI database and PubMed database from January 2005 to August 2013 with the key words“embryonic stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, diabetic nephropathyin Chinese and English. Papers published recently or in journals with high impact factor were selected. A total of 60 papers were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Embryonic stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells have the potential to differentiate into renal histiocytes. A large numbers of experimental studies have shown that stem cells transplantation has a positive effect on recovery of injured kidney. Stem celltransplantation can provide a novel therapy for diabetic nephropathy.
