RESUMO
Bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous disease, and dust mite is the main allergen that causes typeⅠallergic reaction.Allergic reactions and inflammation reactions caused by dust mite allergenic proteins and allergenic components play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of asthma.Furthermore, nitric oxide and its derivatives produced by inflammatory cytokines in airway epithelium play a key role in inducing asthma.This paper reviews the effects of dust mite allergenic proteins, allergenic components and exhaled nitric oxide on asthma in recent years.
RESUMO
Objective@#To compare the carcinogenic abilities of CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells and general laryngeal cancer stem cells and to identify the mechanism underlying the action of miRNAs.@*Methods@#Solid tumor-derived laryngeal carcinoma stem cells and Hep-2-derived laryngeal carcinoma stem cells were cultured, and CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells were sorted by flow cytometry. Boden chamber invasion assay, cell migration assay and tumor formation assay were then performed to compare the invasion, migration and tumorigenic abilities of CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells and general laryngeal cancer stem cells. And then, miRNAs isolated from two laryngeal cancer stem cells were detected and analysed with miRNA chip.@*Results@#(1)In Boyden chamber invasion assay, the cell invasion rate of CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells was obviously higher (80.2%±2.3% vs. 63.9%±3.2%, t=5.011, P=0.027); (2)CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells also had higher mobility in cell migration assay (82.9%±1.1% vs. 70.9%±0.6%, t=4.514, P=0.031); (3)In tumor formation assay, the tumor formation rate of CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells was also higher (80% vs. 50%). What′s more, we identified 15 miRNAs that were significantly upregulated in CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells and 3 miRNAs that were significantly downregulated in CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells, compared with normal laryngeal cancer stem cells.@*Conclusions@#CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells have stronger invasion, migration and tumorigenic abilities compared with normal laryngeal cancer stem cells, and the difference of miRNAs′ expression is one of the possible causes.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To invest igate the correlation between fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO) and lung function in artemisia argyi allergy patients. Whether the course of disease and rhinitis score are correlated with FeNO and lung function. METHODS A total of 88 patients with mugwort pollen allergy, who visited the hospital between August and September 2017 and August and September 2018, the results of their FeNO and Pulmonary ventilation function, were included in this study. RESULTS Compared with patients with a duration of 9 years or more, FeNO and FEV1％ of patients with a duration of 5 years were significantly different(P =0.004, P =0.032), and FeNO increased with the extension of the duration, while FEV1％ decreased gradually. FeNO was negatively correlated with FEF25％-75％pred and FEV1％, while there was no correlation with FEV1％pred. Rhinitis score was positively correlated with FeNO. There was no correlation with FEV1％pred, FEV1％, FEF25％-75％pred. CONCLUSION With the development of mugwort pollen allergy, the probability of airflow limitation is also increased. To some extent, FeNO can predict the changes of airway function early, and can be used as a monitoring indicator for asthma prediction.FeNO value can reflect the degree of inflammation of the body, and can be used in the auxiliary diagnosis of the severity of allergic rhinitis patients.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression and clinical significance of phosphated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) and p53 protein in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), and the relationship between the two genes.@*METHOD@#Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues, which came from 60 cases of LSCC and 32 samples of normal mucosa over 2.0 cm away from tumor margin in 32 patients with total or subtotal laryngectomy were detected for the expression of p-STAT3 and p53 protein by in SP immunohistochemistry. Micro-image analysis system was used to determine the optical density,and the result was analyzed statistically.@*RESULT@#There is over expression of p-STAT3 and p53 protein in LSCC. The expression of p-STAT3 and p53 protein in LSCC was associated with clinical stage and lymph nodal metastases (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the expression of p-STAT3 and P53 protein. The correlation coefficient (r) was 0.6558 (P < 0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#The expression of p-STAT3 and p53 protein may play an important role in the tumorigenesis,metastases and poor prognosis of LSCC. There was a positive correlation between the over expression of p-STAT3 and p53 protein in LSCC.
