RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the expression of cyclophilin A (CyPA) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and explore the effect of downregulating the expression of CyPA gene on the proliferation and invasion of SCC-25 cells.@*METHODS@#A total of 77 cases of patients with OSCC were selected. The expression levels of CyPA proteins in OSCC and adjacent normal tissues were evaluated. SCC-25 cells were cultured and divided into the CyPA interference sequence group, negative control group, and blank group. The expression levels of CyPA mRNA and protein in cells were detected by using real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation was detected by using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium and plate colony formation assays. Cell invasion was detected by using Transwell assay.@*RESULTS@#The positive expression rate of CyPA protein in OSCC tissues was 76.62%, which was higher than that in adjacent tissues (@*CONCLUSIONS@#The CyPA protein is highly expressed in OSCC tissues, and the downregulation of CyPA gene expression in SCC-25 cells can reduce cell proliferation and inhibit cell invasion.

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum concentration of B vitamins B1,B6,B12) with the incidence of epilepsy.Methods We recruited 50 newly diagnosed patients with epilepsy (not receiving antiepileptic drugs) and 50 patients without epilepsy.Serum concentrations of B vitamins (B1,B6,and B12) in both groups were detected with a LK3000V vitamin detector.Results The concentrations of vitamin B1 and B12 in epileptic patients were (132.81 ±7.3l) nmol/L and (221.41 ±26.09) pg/ml,respectively,not significantly different from those in non-epileptic patients [(130.44 ± 5.12) nmol/L,P =0.095 ;(197.87 ± 19.36) pg/ml,P =0.077].The concentration of vitamin B6 in epileptic children was (44.61 ±2.49) μmol/L,significantly lower than that in non-epileptic children [(64.63 ± 5.71) μmol/L,P =0.031].Conclusion Though serum concentrations of vitamin B1 and B12 may not be associated with epilepsy,lower concentration of vitamin B6 in serum may increase the risk of epilepsy.
