Résumé
Neuroblastoma(NB)is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children.It is notable for highly heterogeneous and associated with tumor histologic classification and differentiation status, with ganglioneuroma representing fully mature and differentiated NB.Differentiation therapy reduces the adverse reactions caused by treatment without affecting normal cells and tissues by inducing the redifferentiation of NB cells, and has a good development prospect in the maintenance treatment of high-risk NB patients.Therefore, studying the key molecules and signaling pathways affecting NB differentiation is significant to further clarify the pathogenesis and improve the prognosis of neuroblastoma.This article reviews the important molecules related to NB cell differentiation, signaling pathways and the research progress of differentiation induction therapy.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and to construct a prediction model for infection. Methods:The clinical data of 204 patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae infection admitted in ICU of Jining First Hospital during January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients admitted during January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as model set ( n=150), and patients admitted during January to December 2022 were selected as validation set ( n=54). In model set, there were 59 cases infected with CRKP (CRKP group) and 91 cases infected with carbapenem-sensitive Klebsiella pneumonia (CSKP group). The risk factor of CRKP infection in ICU patients were analyzed with multivariate Logistic regression, based on which an infection prediction model was constructed. The predictive value of the model was evaluated by ROC, and verified in the validation group. Results:Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that empirical use of beta-lactam antibiotics( OR=6.985, 95 % CI 1.658-29.423, P=0.008), central vein catheterization( OR=7.486, 95 % CI 2.776-20.186, P<0.001)and tracheal intubation/incision( OR=10.695, 95 % CI 2.701-42.351, P=0.001)were risk factors for CRKP infection in ICU patients. The regression equation for predicting the risk of infection was -4.851+ empirical use of beta-lactam antibiotics×1.944+ central vein catheterization×2.013+ tracheal intubation/incision×2.370. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the model for predicting infection in the model group was 0.905, with sensitivity and specificity of 79.7% and 90.1%, respectively. The AUC of the model for predicting infection in validation group was 0.881, with sensitivity and specificity of 84.2% and 85.7%, respectively. Conclusion:The constructed infection prediction model in the study can effectively predict CRKP infection in ICU patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of interfering with E2F3 gene expression on the invasion and migration of prostate cancer cells and its mechanism. Methods The expression of E2F3 gene in human prostate cancer Du145 cells was knocked down by siRNA. The cells were divided into three groups: control group, Du145 NC group (siRNA-NC)and Du145-siRNA group(siRNA-E2F3). Cell migration and invasion were detected by Transwell invasion and wound healing assay. The expressions of E2F3, E-cadherin and MMP-9 proteins were detected by western blotting. Results After transfection, the expression of E2F3 protein in the Du145-siRNA group was significantly lower than the control group(P< 0.01). The number of invasive cells and wound healing rate of Du145 cells in the Du145-siRNA group were significantly lower than the control group(P < 0.01). Furthermore, the protein expression of E-cadherin was significantly increased(P< 0.01)while MMP-9 decreased(P< 0.01)in the Du145-siRNA group. Conclusions E2F3 silencing can inhibit the invasion and migration ability of prostate cancer Du145 cells, and this might be accomplished by regulating E-cadherin and MMP-9 protein.

Résumé
Spillage of cyst contents during surgical operation is the major cause of recurrence after hydatid cyst surgery. Instillation of a scolicidal agent into a hepatic hydatid cyst is the most commonly employed measure to prevent this complication. SB202190 is a pyridinyl imidazole derivative and is known to be a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK. In the present study, the scolicidal effect of SB202190 was investigated. Freshly isolated Echinococcus granulosus protoscolices were subjected to SB202190 treatment (10, 20, 40, and 80 microM), and the effects on parasite viability were monitored by trypan blue staining. Corresponding effects were visualized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Dose-dependent protoscolex death within a few days of SB202190 treatment was observed. Although the in vitro scolicidal effect of SB202190 was satisfactory, the in vivo efficacy of this drug and also possible side effects remain to be further investigated.
