RESUMO

Objective@#To examine breakfast consumption among primary school students in grades 4 and 5 in Qinghai Province, China, and to provide evidence for nutrition education and intervention strategies.@*Methods@#We used a multistage stratified cluster random sampling method to select the participants. A total of 969 students were selected from 10 primary schools in four counties and districts of three cities, namely Haidong City, Hainan Prefecture and Haixi Prefecture in Qinghai Province. A self rated questionnaire was administered to investigate breakfast consumption.@*Results@#The proportion of students who consumed breakfast 5 to 7 times per week, 3 or 4 times per week, and 1 or 2 times per week were 82.0%, 9.7%, and 6.7%, respectively, while 1.5% never ate breakfast. In descending order, the breakfast food types consumed were cereals and tubers; milk, legumes and nuts; vegetables and fruits; fish and poultry; and meat and eggs (84.1%, 69.8%, 66.8%, and 37.7%, respectively). The proportion of vegetables and fruits in the breakfast of grade 5 students was higher than that of grade 4 students( χ 2=4.81, P = 0.03 ), the proportion of fish, poultry,meat and eggs in county urban areas was higher than that of students in rural( χ 2=6.94, P =0.03), while the proportion of vegetables and fruits in urban areas was lower than that of students in suburban areas( χ 2=53.33, P <0.01). The proportion of breakfast food containing fish,poultry,meat and eggs of boarding students was higher than that of non boarding students( χ 2=41.26, P <0.01), while the proportion of breakfast food containing vegetables and fruits, milk & legumens & nuts was lower than that of non-boarding students( χ 2=21.11, 4.41, P <0.01). A total of 44.8% of students had a poor quality breakfast, and only 16.3% had a good quality breakfast. Moreover, 47.5% of breakfasts were prepared by mothers, followed by the school canteen which prepared 29.9%. Except for students in different grades, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of breakfast preparers in other groups( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#In Qinghai Province,breakfast skipping is observed in some senior primary school students, and the quality of breakfast is poor. Diet and nutrition education should be provided for students, parents, and school canteen staff to improve the frequency and nutritional quality of children s breakfasts.

The research included 969 fourth and fifth grade students were selected from 10 primary schools in four counties and districts of three cities in Haidong City, Hainan Prefecture and Haixi Prefecture in Qinghai Province. The self report questionnaire method was used to investigate the current status regarding snack food consumption in this population.@*Results@#The proportion of students who consumed snack food at home, school and elsewhere were 98.2%, 88.5% and 75.4%, respectively. Male students reported a lower rate of snack consumption at school than female students ( χ 2=9.66). The fifth grade students reported a higher rate of snack consumption at home and other places than the fourth grade students ( χ 2=10.31, 6.77). The reported rate of snack consumption of students in the rural was higher than that in the county( χ 2=6.03,100.53, 24.77). The reported rate of snack consumption of boarding students at home was lower than that of non-boarding students ( χ 2=7.22), while the reported rate of snack consumption at school was higher than that of non-boarding students ( χ 2=9.04)( P <0.01). The most popular snacks consumed at home included fruits and vegetables, cereals and nuts (76.9%, 67.2%, 63.7%), while the most popular snacks consumed at school were fruits and vegetables, cereals and candies (45.1%, 36.9%, 24.4%). The most popular snacks consumed in other settings included ice cream, candies and beverages(54.7%, 51.6%, 42.9%). The top three reasons for snacking were that snacks were regarded as delicious, healthy/nutritious and clean (76.9%, 65.5% and 59.0%, respectively).@*Conclusion@#Snacking is popular among students, although many snacks are unhealthy. Therefore, there is a need to improve food environments and nutrition education, so as to help students to choose healthy beverages and adopt healthy eating behaviors.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To construct a eukaryotic expression vector of bromodomain-containing protein 7 (BRD7) with deletion of bromodomain (BRD7△brd) using the homologous recombination and reverse PCR amplification techniques.@*METHODS@#The linear DNA fragments of bromodomain-deleted mutation of BRD7 (pIRES2-EGFP- 3Flag/BRD7△brd) were amplified by one pair of reverse PCR primers using high-fidelity enzyme, and then these fragments were transformed into E.coli to obtain the eukaryotic expression vector expressing BRD7△brd protein based on homologous recombination and plasmid cyclization.@*RESULTS@#Bromodomain-deleted clones were identified by digestion with restrictive enzymes, and then the sequence and protein expression were further confirmed by sequencing and Western blot assays. The results suggest that pIRES2-EGFP-3Flag/BRD7△brd was successfully constructed.@*CONCLUSION@#We establish a simple and quick method to construct plasmids with pIRES2-EGFP- 3Flag/BRD7△brd using reverse PCR amplification and homologous recombination techniques. We also found that the concentration of template in PCR reaction system is one of the critical factors that affect the rate of homologous recombination. Of all, this improved technique could be widely used in the construction of gene mutations.

RESUMO

Next generation sequencing (NGS) has developed very rapidly in the last decade. Compared with Sanger sequencing, NGS has the advantages of high sensitivity and high throughput. Movement disorders are a common type of neurological disease. Although traditional linkage analysis has become a standard method to identify the pathogenic genes in diseases, it is getting difficult to find new pathogenic genes in rare Mendelian disorders, such as movement disorders, due to a lack of appropriate families with high penetrance or enough affected individuals. Thus, NGS is an ideal approach to identify the causal alleles for inherited disorders. NGS is used to identify genes in several diseases and new mutant sites in Mendelian movement disorders. This article reviewed the recent progress in NGS and the use of NGS in Mendelian movement disorders from genome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing. A perspective on how NGS could be employed in rare Mendelian disorders is also provided.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate several abnormal genes by the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in multiple myeloma (MM), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and reactive plasmacytosis (RP), and to increase the diagnosis and differential diagnosis levels for these common plasma diseases. 
@*METHODS@#The clinical manifestations, image and laboratory tests and the FISH detection were retrospectively analyzed in 61 cases of newly diagnosed MM, 20 cases of MGUS and 20 cases of RP from August, 2012 to February, 2015 in the Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. 
@*RESULTS@#Fifty cases among 61 MM patients showed genetic abnormality by FISH technology. The total positive rate was 81.9%. Among them, 19 cases (31.1%) had 1q21 amplification, 18 cases (29.5%) lacked D13S319, 10 cases (16.4%) missed RB1, 10 cases (16.4%) had IGH translocation and 7 cases (11.4%) lacked p53 gene. The positive rate for two or more genes abnormal was 19.8% in 12 cases. However, in 20 cases of MGUS patients, the positive detection rate was 25%, including 4 cases (20%) of 1q21 augmentation and 2 cases (10%) of IGH translocation. There were not two or more abnormal genes in one case. While in RP cases, only 1 case of patients had D13S319 abnormal gene, and the positive rate was only 5%. There was significant difference (P<0.05) among the 3 groups. 
@*CONCLUSION@#The positive detection rate is 81.9% in MM patients by FISH, which is significantly higher than that in patients with MGUS or RP. FISH technology can detect a variety of abnormal genes in MM. It is useful for the differential diagnosis and prognosis for MM, MGUS and RP.

RESUMO

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) is a type of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which are singular, non-catalytic and highly homologous. TLRs not only play significant roles in natural immunity, but also act as a bridge between innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Recent studies have revealed that TLRs play critical roles in the development of non-resolving inflammation-related cancer,including the formation of tumor microenvironment, invasion and metastasis, immune escape, etc. Further investigation into the mechanisms responsible for the function of TLRs will be of great value in tumor prevention, early diagnosis and therapy.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect of the oxidored nitro domain containing protein 1 (NOR1) gene knockdown on the biological behavior of HeLa cells in cervical carcinoma.@*METHODS@#The recombinant plasmids pSUPER-shNOR1-1, pSUPER-shNOR1-2 and pSUPERscramble, which targeted to NOR1 gene, were constructed by pSUPER.neo+GFP vector, transfected into HeLa cells respectively using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent, and followed by G418 selection. The expression level of NOR1 mRNA and protein were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to determine the growth curve of cell viability. The stable transfectants were treated with H₂O₂ and cell apoptosis was determined by Hoechst 33258 staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The expression levels of Bcl-2, cleaved caspase 9 and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) were measured by Western blot.@*RESULTS@#NOR1- knockdown HeLa cells were successfully constructed by transfection of pSUPER-shNOR1-1 or pSUPER-shNOR1-2 plasmids into HeLa cells. MTT assay showed that the silence of endogenous NOR1 in HeLa cells could lead to the increase in cell viability and proliferation, and the inhibition of H₂O₂-induced apoptosis compared with the negative control. Western blot showed that the expression level of active caspase 9 and cleaved PARP was inhibited in NOR1-knockdown cells when they were treated with H₂O₂ while the expression level of Bcl-2 protein increased.@*CONCLUSION@#Silence of endogenous NOR1 facilitates the cell viability and growth of HeLa cells, and attenuates HeLa cells apoptosis induced by H₂O₂, which might be mediated by up-regulation of Bcl-2 level and down-regulation of the cleaved caspase 9 cascade.

RESUMO

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of endogenous RNA molecules which exceed 200 nt in length, lack complete specific open reading frame, and completely lack or possessvery limited protein-coding capacity. Recent studies have revealed that lncRNAs participate in critical processes such as genomic imprinting, cell differentiation, and immune reaction, etc. lncRNAs regulate gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels by modulating chromatin remodeling and histone modifications, interfering the transcription, regulating patterns of alternative splicing, generating small RNAs, and modulating protein activation and localization. Through their numerous functions, lncRNAs play critical roles in the growth, development, senescence, death, and other important physiological and pathological processes. Further investigation into the regulation of gene expression mediated by lncRNAs will be of great value in the thorough understanding of pathogenies and provide new molecular markers and drug targets of diseases.

RESUMO

In recent years, cancer stem cells have become a hotspot for global researchers. Cancer stem cell theory deems that cells with self-renewal and differentiation potential play a key role in tumor resistance and relapse. These cells are named cancer stem cells. At present, the sorting methods include the side population cell sorting technique, screening techniques based on cell surface special markers, tumor sphere cultures, label retaining cell, ALDEFLUOR assays and so on. Side population cells are a small part of cells with the capacity of efflux DNA fluorescent dye Hoechst 33342 and present a low staining intensity in flow cytometry plot. Side population cells are rich in cancer stem cells, and its sorting method has been considered simple and effective in cancer stem cell research.

RESUMO

The link between nonresolving inflammation and cancer is well documented. On the one hand, epidemiologic evidence supports that approximately 25% of all human cancer worldwide is caused by nonresolving inflammation. On the other hand, inflammatory cells are found in the microenvironment of most, if not all, tumors. In the tumor micro-environment, inflammatory cells and molecules influence almost every aspect of cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in the initiation and progression of nonresolving inflammation-related cancer by regulating the key genes and related signaling pathways. Further investigation into the molecular mechanisms by which miRNAs carry out their functions will be of great value in the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of tumors.

RESUMO

Despite seminal studies in the 1920s by Warburg showing a characteristic metabolic pattern for tumors, cancer bioenergetics has otfen been relegated to the backwaters of cancer biology. Recent studies have shown that metabolism in the tumor tissue is far more complicated than we previously knew. Despite vigorous glycolysis, in fact, the tumor tissue still retains mitochondrial aerobic metabolism. Mitochondria is one of the main sites of the biosynthesis process of tumor cells. Recent studies revealed that abnormal fatty acid metabolism. Amino acid metabolism plays a key role in the tumorigenesis. The metabolic network in tumor cells was reprogrammed, leading to nutrition lfux reorganization and re-direction. Metabolism reprogramming in tumor cells facilitates the balance between the needs of energy supply and the synthesis of biological macromolecules. Targeting cell metabolism is not intended to interfere the energy supply of tumor cells but to affect the synthesis of metabolic rate, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of the tumor. hTe review focuses on the importance of metabolic reprogramming in tumor development and cancer therapy. We summarize what is currently known about metabolic reprogramming and establish a framework to understanding its contribution to the altered metabolism of cancer cells.

RESUMO

MiRNAs can function as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. The abnormal expression of miRNAs leads to tumor malignant phenotypes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, through which it is involved in the process of tumor initiation, progression and transcriptional regulation network. Therefore, it is important to clarify the mechanism of miRNA involved in the process of tumor initiation and progression. MiRNA regulation mechanism in tumor initiation and progression includes one-to-many and many-to-one regulation between TF-to-miRNA and miRNA-to-target gene, which increases the complexity of miRNA regulation, thus affecting the biological behavior of the tumor, The expression and activity of Drosha and Dicer in the process of miRNA affect the synthesis of mature miRNA and involve in the process of tumor initiation and progression;ceRNA may bind with miRNA by competing with miRNA targeting genes and affect biological function of miRNA as miRNA inhibitor. Therefore the abnormal expression and structure of ceRNA is an important molecular mechanism of tumor initiation and progression. This complicated regulation network comprised by multi-dimensional regulation model and specific regulation of tumor initiation and progression provides impetus to exploring the functional restoration of miRNA as a novel target for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the effect of DNA hypermethylation on NOR1 promoter activity and expression.@*METHODS@#NOR1 promoter plasmids were treated with SssI methyltransferase. The plasmids were modified by sodium bisulfite and purified. Sodium bisulfite-modified plasmids were subjected to PCR with primers designed to analyze the methylation status of 26 CpG sites in a 311-bp region of the NOR1 promoter. Cells were transfected by methylated or mock-methylated promoter plasmids. The promoter activities were assessed by the luciferase levels of cell lysates or by directly observing GFP expression under fluorescence microscope. HL60 cells were treated with different concentrations of 5-aza-dC. Total RNA was isolated from harvested cells. Real-time RT-PCR was used to measure the expression level of NOR1 mRNA.@*RESULTS@#Bisulfite sequencing confirmed that SssI methyltransferase treatment successfully resulted in intensive hypermethylation of the NOR1 promoter plasmids. The promoter activity of NOR1 promoter plasmids was totally blocked by SssI methyltransferase treatment. NOR1 expression levels in HL60 cells were restored by 5-aza-dC treatment.@*CONCLUSION@#NOR1 promoter plasmids are intensively hypermethylated by SssI methyltransferase treatment. The promoter activity of NOR1 promoter plasmids are totally blocked by SssI methyltransferase treatment. The 5-aza-dC treatment may restore the endogenous NOR1 mRNA level in HL60 cells.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the clinical characteristics of primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) and to improve its diagnosis and treatment.@*METHODS@#The clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatments and history of 50 PGL patients, who were hospitalized from September 2005 to September 2009, were reviewed and analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The main manifestation of PGL was epigastric pain with infrequent systemic symptoms, such as stomach ache, abdominal discomfort, vomit, black stool, loss of appetite, fever, feeble, and skinny. Pathological examination indicated that only 1 patient had T cell lymphoma while the rest 49 had B cell lymphoma. Fourteen had mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT), 35 had diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and 2 had both DLBCL and MALT (DLBCML). All the 50 patients received chemotherapy, and 12 underwent surgical treatment besides chemotherapy. Fourteen out of the 49 patients with B cell lymphoma received rituximab together with chemotherapy, and 35 received chemotherapy alone. The 2-year survival rate in the patients receiving rituximab together with chemotherapy was higher than that in the patients receiving chemotherapy alone (85.7% vs 77.1%, P< 0.05). The 2-year survival rate in patients of clinical stage I-II was higher than that in patients of clinical stage III-IV (90.9% vs 71.4%, P< 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The main clinical manifestation of PGL patients is non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms, among which abdominal pain is most common. The clinical examination mainly relies on pathological examinations, and the most common pathological type of primary gastric lymphoma is DLBCL. The main treatment is chemotherapy, and the prognosis is related to the clinical stage and the use of rituximab. After the treatment, the 2-year survival rate in the 50 patients reaches 80.0%.
