RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the correlation between microRNA-497 (miR-497) expression and invasion and metastasis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:The expression of miR-497 in 93 CRC patients (CRC group), 30 colorectal adenoma polyps (colorectal adenomatous polyp group) and 30 healthy patients (normal control group)were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR); meanwhile, the content of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was detected by chemiluminescence; After 3 years follow-up, the expression of miR-497 was measured again; the correlation between the expression of miR-497 and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of CRC was analyzed.Results:The expression of miR-497 in CRC group was significantly lower than that at the end of postoperative treatment, adenomatous polyps group and normal control group ( P<0.01), and the content of CEA in CRC group was significantly higher than that at the end of postoperative treatment, adenomatous polyps group and normal control group ( P<0.01); At the end of postoperative treatment, the expression of serum miR-497 in CRC group was lower than that in normal control group ( P<0.05), and the content of serum CEA was higher than that in normal control group ( P<0.05). The diagnosis positive rate of serum miR497 expression in CRC group was significantly higher than that of serum CEA ( P<0.01), and they showed no correlation ( r=0.232, P>0.05). The pre-and post-operative serum miR-497 expression levels in the recurred and metastasis group were significantly lower than those in the no postoperative recurrence and metastasis group ( P<0.01). The preoperative expression of miR-497 was related to the differentiation degree of CRC, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and survival period ( P<0.01), but not with the age, sex, tumor size and location of the patients ( P>0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that tumor differentiation, TNM stage, preoperative miR-497 expression, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were all independent risk factors influencing prognosis of CRC patients ( P<0.05); The survival rate of 1, 2, 3 years in the miR-497 low expression group was lower than that in the miR-497 high expression group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The preoperative low serum miR-497 expression levels are closely relative with invasion and metastasis and poor prognosis of CRC, and can be a prognostic indicator of CRC. The reduced postoperative serum miR-497 expression levels may be a predictor of the postoperative recurrence and metastasis of CRC.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical effects of levosimmentan combined with freeze-dried recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in elderly patients with heart failure. Methods Eighty patients with heart failure diagnosed in our hospital from January 2015 to January 2018 were selected as subjects. According to the random number table prepared in Excel 2007,40 patients in the experimental group and the control group were given. For basic treatments such as diuresis,the experimental group was treated with levosimtan combined with lyophilized recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide,and the control group was treated with levosimtan and dobutamine. The left ventricle of the two groups before and after treatment was compared. End-diastolic period (LVEDD),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),cardiac index(CI),stroke volume(SV),serum cystatin C (Cys-C),amino terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP),mean arterial pressure(MAP), pulmonary capillary pressure(PCWP). Results Before treatment,the differences of LVEDD,LVEF,CI and SV levels between the experimental group and the control group were not statistically significant(P > 0.05). After treatment,the LVEDD of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P < 0.05).The LVEF,CI and SV values in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in serum Cys-C and NT-proBNP levels between the experimental group and the control group before treatment(P > 0.05). After treatment,the serum levels of Cys-C and NT-proB-NP in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P < 0.05). Before treatment,the difference of MAP and PCWP levels between the experimental group and the control group was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). After treatment,the MAP and PCWP levels in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was 10.00％ and the difference between the control group and the control group was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). Conclusions Levosimmentan combined with freeze-dried recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in patients with senile heart failure can significantly improve cardiac function,reduce Cys-C,NT-proBNP levels,and improve hemodynamic parameters.
