RESUMO
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of echinococcosis cases reported in the National Notifiable Disease Report System in Henan Province from 2010 to 2011, so as to provide insights into for echinococcosis control and surveillance. Methods The data pertaining to reported echinococcosis cases in Henan Province from 2010 to 2021 were retrieved from the National Notifiable Disease Report System, and a descriptive epidemiological analysis was performed using the software SPSS 22.0. Results A total of 150 echinococcosis cases were reported in Henan Province from 2010 to 2021, including 88 confirmed cases (58.67%) and 62 clinically diagnosed cases (41.33%), 77 cases reported by Henan Province (51.33%) and 73 cases reported by other provinces (48.67%). Echinococcosis cases were reported in each month, with 8 to 21 cases reported in each month, and the number of reported echinococcosis cases appeared no remarkable temporal changes. The echinococcosis cases were reported across 18 cities of Henan Province, with the highest number of cases reported in Zhoukou (17.33%) and Nanyang cities (17.33%) and the lowest number reported in Sanmenxia City (0.67%). The reported echinococcosis cases had a male to female ratio of 1.17:1, and the cases were found at each age group, with the the highest number of cases seen at ages of 20 to 59 years (73.33%). Farmer was the predominant occupation (63.33%), followed by housekeepers and the unemployed (12.67%). Of all reported echinococcosis cases, there were 25 local cases (16.67%) and 125 imported cases (83.33%), 144 cases reported by medical institutions (96.00%) and 6 cases reported by centers for disease control and prevention (4.00%). Conclusions Although imported echinococcosis cases were the predominant source of echinococcosis cases reported in the National Notifiable Disease Report System in Henan Province from 2010 to 2021, there were still sporadic local cases, and the emergence of local sources of infection cannot be excluded. Further expanded field surveys and surveillance of echinococcosis are required.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of microRNA-613 (miR-613)/Wee1 axis on the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells.Methods A total of 20 patients with radiosensitive colorectal cancer and 20 patients with radioresistance were selected from Yan'an Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University from November 2016 to May 2017.Human colorectal cancer cell lines LoVo and HCT116 were selected and the radioresistant cell lines LoVo/R and HCT116/R were established for subsequent experiments.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-613 and Wee1 in colorectal cancer tissues and cell lines.The radioresistant cells were transfected by miR-613 mimic,and non-transfected cells were used as control group.The effects of miR-613 overexpression on the proliferation,invasion and cell cycle of radiation resistance of colorectal cancer cells at different radiation doses were evaluated by CCK-8 assay,Transwell assay and Western blotting,respectively.Furthermore,dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify whether Wee1 was a target gene of miR-613.si-Wee1 was transfected into radioresistant cells of colorectal cancer,or co-transfected with si-Wee1 and miR-613 inhibitor,and non-transfected cells were used as control group.The effects of miR-613/Wee1 axis on cell proliferation,invasion and cell cycle were detected by CCK-8,Transwell and Western blotting at different radiation doses.Results The expression of miR-613 was downregulated in the radiation resistance group of patients (1.54 ± 0.25 vs.2.64 ± 0.45;t =3.140,P =0.009) and radiation resistance cell lines (LoVo/R vs.LoVo:1.03 ± 0.12 vs.3.05 ± 0.15;t =8.944,P =0.006;HCT116/R vs.HCT116:1.01 ±0.11 vs.2.85 ±0.16;t =8.050,P =0.008).Overexpression of miR-613 was significantly inhibited the proliferation (LoVo/R:t6 Gy =6.018,P =0.013;HCT116/R:t6Gy =5.634,P =0.015) and invasion (LoVo/R:45.00 ± 8.95 vs.180.15 ± 6.95,t6 Gy =11.93,P =0.003;HCT116/R:49.97 ±6.21 vs.170.20 ±7.03,t6 Gy =12.82,P =0.006) of LoVo/R and HCT116/R cells and decreased the expression levels of G2-M phase cell cycle correlated proteins (CDK1 and cyclin B).Moreover,dual-luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that Wee1 was a target of miR-613.Mechanistically,overexpression of miR-613 promoted the radiosensitivity of LoVo/R and HCT116/R cells through inhibiting cell proliferation (compared with si-Wee1 group,co-transfected with si-Wee1 and miR-613 inhibitor,and control group,LoVo/R:F8 Gy =40.742,P =0.007;HCT116/R:F8 Gy =28.958,P =0.011),invasion (LoVo/R:F8 Gy =55.413,P =0.004;HCT116/R:F8 Gy =65.634,P =0.003) and arresting cell at G2-M phase via downregulating Wee1.Conclusion miR-613/Wee1 axis plays a certain role in regulating the radiation resistance of colorectal cancer cells,overexpression of miR-613 may reverse the radiation resistance of colorectal cancer cells.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the genotype of M.tuberculosis in He'nan Province.Methods A total of 668 M.tuberculosis clinical strains collected in difference regions of He'nan Province during 2015 were genotyped by two standard methods,including classical 24-locus mycobacterium interspersed repetitive unit variable-number tandem-repeat (MIRU-VNTR) typing and spoligotyping.Results The 668 isolates were divided into 11 clusters and 35 patterns by spoligotyping.Among the 558 Beijing strains,546 were typical Beijing strains and the other 12 were atypical Beijing strains.Among the 110 non-Beijing strains,eight were new strains and the remaining 102 non-Beijing strains were divided into 10 families.There were 76 isolates belonging to T family,including 59 of T1 families,7 of T2 families,and 10 of T3 families.The 668 strains were divided into 550 gene patterns by standard 24-locus VNTR,including 508 un-clustered patterns and 160 clustered into 42 clusters.The largest cluster contained 21 strains,the other clusters contained 2-20 strains.Conclusion Beijing strain is still the most prevalent M.tuberculosis in He'nan Province.
