RESUMO
【Objective】 To explore the distribution of polymorphisms of miR-208 genes rs8022522 and rs12894524 locus in Guangxi healthy population and compare the differences in the polymorphism distribution in different population. 【Methods】 SNPscan technology was used to detect genotypes of rs8022522 and rs12894524 from 297 healthy people in Guangxi, and the results were compared with other populations from Human genome Haplotype Map(HapMap) data. 【Results】 Three genotypes, namely, AA (2.7%), AG (24.2%) and GG (73.1%), in rs8022522 were found, with the allele frequencies of A and G being 14.8% and 85.2%. The genotypes of rs12894524 locus were TT (1.3%), TG (13.5%) and GG (85.2%), and the frequency of T and G allele was 8.1% and 91.9%, respectively. rs8022522 and rs12894524 locus genotypes and allele frequencies were significantly different from HapMap-CEU, HapMap- YRI and HapMap-TSI (P<0.05). Compared with HapMap-JPT and HapMap-CHB, there was no significant difference in genotype or allele frequency between the two sites (P>0.05). As for the blood lipid level among the three genotypes in rs8022522, the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with GG genotype was significantly different from that in AG group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The polymorphisms of rs8022522 and rs12894524 of miR-208 gene in Guangxi population are different from those in other regions to varying degrees. The polymorphism of rs8022522 locus is related to the level of HDL-C.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the difference of lymphocyte subsets between elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis and non-elderly patients and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 124 patients with rheumatoid arthritis in Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January, 2017 to December, 2019 were enrolled.The patients were divided into elderly group(≥60 years old, 34 cases)and non-elderly group(<60 years old, 90 cases). Rheumatoid arthritis activity(DAS-28)scoring was performed for each patient.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)were extracted by Ficoll density centrifugation.Lymphocytes were labeled and detected by 18-color flowcytometry with more than 30 fluorescent antibodies.Results:DAS-28 scoring showed that the disease activity score of the elderly group(4.56±1.89)was higher than that of the non-elderly group(3.37±1.49)( t=3.633, P<0.001). Flow cytometry showed that MAIL%T(mucus-associated lymphoid tissue T cell subset)( Z=-2.798, P=0.005), Tn%CD8 T cells(initial CD8 T cells)( Z=-2.179, P=0.029), VD2% T(Vδ2+ T, γδT cell subtype)( Z=-2.806, P=0.005), PD1-CD28-%Th( Z=-2.050, P=0.040)and IGM+ D-%B( Z=-2.376, P=0.017)were lower in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group.While, CD45+ CD27+ %CD8 T cells( Z=-3.069, P=0.002), abT%T cell(αβT cells)( Z=-2.103, P=0.035), CD27-CD28+ %T cells( Z=-2.341, P=0.019), ASC%PBMC( Z=-2.341, P=0.019)and ASC%CD19+ ( Z=-2.000, P=0.046)subgroup expression were higher in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group. Conclusions:The disease activity of elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis is significantly higher than that of younger patients.The expressions of abT%T and CD4% abT in effector T cells of elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis are higher than those of younger patients, while the expression of VD2% T is lower.The expression level of CD45RA+ CD27+ %CD8 T with cytotoxic effect is higher; However, the expression level of Tn%CD8 T in naive cells is lower.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the impact of Cesarean section on newborn′s early suction. Methods A literature review was conducted to summarize the impact of Cesarean section on newborn′s early suction from aspects of sucking behavior, breastfeeding initiation, and breast sensitivity to sucking stimulus. Results Cesarean section has detrimental effect on nerves and muscles which are responsible for sucking behavior. It causes incompatible of sucking dynamics, delayed breastfeeding initiation, ineffective sucking stimulus, and finally, failed lactation and breastfeeding. Conclusions Cesarean section impairs newborn′s early suction.It suggests that our nursing staff should pay attention to related education and encourage the vaginal delivery.Additionally,supports on timely breastfeeding,correct latch-on and sucking gesture should be given to Cesarean newborns immediately after delivery to promote the successful breastfeeding.
RESUMO
Background and purpose:In recent years, many studies have showed that elemene liposome is widely used in the treatment of digestive tract tumors, malignant pleural effusion and ascites. This study combined in vitro and in vivoexperiments to observe the inhibitory effect of elemene liposome on the growth of human gastric cancer and the HGC-27 cell line.Methods:In order to screen the optimum concentration of elemene liposome, machine vision automatic live cell observation analysis system (Cell-IQ) was applied to detect the best inhibitory effect on human gastric cancer cell line HGC-27, and the lfow cytometry was applied to further detect the apoptosis of HGC-27 treated with elemene liposome. The model of human gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis in nude mice was established to investigate the intervention of elemene liposome and cisplatin (DDP) on peritoneal cancer index (PCI). CD31 marker of tumor microvessel density (MVD) and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in tumor tissues were investigated to explore the mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect on peritoneal metastasis of HGC-27 cells in nude mice.Results:Cell-IQ analysis showed that the inhibitory effect of elemene liposome on HGC-27 presented in a positive concentration-dependent manner, which could not be further enhanced when the concentration exceeded 100 μg/mL with the best reaction time between 4 and 19 hours. Flow cytometry showed that the early apoptosis rate was 45% in the elemene liposome group and only 0.019% in the control group. The early apoptosis rate was signiifcantly higher in treatment group than that in control group (P0.05).Conclusion:Elemene liposome can inhibit human gastric cancer cells at the optimal concentration of 100 μg/mL with the best reaction time between 4-19 hours. Elemene liposome has a clear preventive effect on peritoneal metastasis of human gastric cancer in nude mice. Induction of apoptosis in gastric cancer cells may be the main mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of elemene liposome on human gastric cancer cells.
