Effects of C10orf10 on growth and prognosis of glioma under hypoxia / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVES@#Glioma is the most common malignant tumor in the central nervous system, and the hypoxic microenvironment is prevalent in solid tumors. This study aims to investigate the up-regulation of genes under the condition of hypoxia and their roles in glioma growth, as well as their impact on glioma prognosis.@*METHODS@#The hypoxia-related dataset with glioma was screened in the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO), and the differentially expressed genes were analyzed between hypoxia and normoxia through bioinformatics, and chromosome 10 open reading frame 10 (C10orf10) was verified and screened in hypoxia-treated cells through real-time PCR and Western blotting. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) datasets were downloaded to analyze the mRNA expression of C10orf10 in different grades of glioma and its impact on prognosis. The glioma specimens and follow-up data of 68 gliomas who underwent surgical treatment in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from March 2017 to January 2021 were collected, and real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of C10orf10 in different grades of glioma, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the relationship between the expression C10orf10 and prognosis. The glioma cells, which could interfere the expression of C10orf10, were constructed, and the effect of C10orf10 on the proliferation of glioma cells was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assays.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the condition of normoxia, the expression levels of C10orf10 mRNA and protein were significantly up-regulated in glioma cells under hypoxia (P<0.001), and the mRNA expression level of C10orf10 in glioma tissues was up-regulated with the increase of WHO grade in glioma (P<0.001). Based on Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the higher the mRNA expression level of C10orf10 was, the shorter the survival time of the patient was (P<0.05). And the expression of C10orf10 mRNA was higher in recurrent gliomas than that in primary gliomas in the CGGA database (P<0.001). Knockdown of C10orf10 could significantly inhibit the growth of glioma cells both under hypoxia and normoxia (both P<0.001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The expression level of C10orf10 can promote the proliferation and prognosis of glioma, which is expected to become a prognostic marker and therapeutic target for glioma.

Curative effect of surgery on moyamoya disease: an analysis of 47 patients / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Objective:To evaluate the effect of surgery on 47 patients with moyamoya disease by retrospective analysis.Methods:A total of 47 patients with moyamoya disease were enrolled from August,2010 to According to the improved treatment in August,2013,all cases were divided into two groups:a pre-improved group and a post-improved group.According to different surgical methods,they were divided into two subgroups:an indirect revascularization subgroup and a combined revascularization subgroup.Results:The cerebral ischemia in 77.4％ of patients was relieved after the surgery.There was significant difference in outcomes of patients between the pre-improved group and the post-improved group (P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference between the pre-improved indirect revascularization subgroup and the pre-improved combined revascularization subgroup.There was also no significant difference between the post-improved indirect revascularization subgroup and the post-improved combined revascularization subgroups (P＞0.05).Conclusion:Surgical treatment can improve the outcomes of patients with moyamoya disease,but there is no significant difference in surgical effects between indirect and combined revascularization.

Therapeutic effect of atrovastatin combined irbesartan on cardiovascular remodeling in patients with hypertension / 心血管康复医学杂志

Objective:To analyze the therapeutic effect of atorvastatin combined irbesartan on arterial and ventricular remodeling in patients with essential hypertension (EH).Methods:A total of 114 EH patients of our hospital were selected.According to therapeutic protocol,they were divided into irbesartan group (n=72,only received irbesar-tan treatment)and combined treatment (n=42,received atorvastatin combined irbesartan therapy).After three-month treatment,carotid intima-media thickness (IMT),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd),inter-ventricular septal thickness (IVST),left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness (LVPWTd)and wall mo-tion score index (WMSI)were compared between two groups.Blood pressure and blood lipid levels were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with irbesartan group,there were significant reductions in IMT [(0.98± 0.13)mm vs.(0.81±0.08)mm],LVEDd [(55.2±3.9)mm vs.(43.3±2.8)mm],IVST [(14.9±2.6)mm vs. (11.5±1.8)mm]and WMSI [(1.67±0.22)vs.(1.39±0.16)],P <0.05 all;there were significant reductions in levels of blood pressure [(144±12)/ (94±8)mmHg vs.(136±16)/ (86±8)mmHg],total cholesterol [(5.87 ±0.96)mmol/L vs.(4.53±0.57)mmol/L]and low density lipoprotein cholesterol [(3.46±0.59)mmol/L vs. (2.68±0.42)mmol/L],P <0.05 all,and significant rise in level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol [(0.87± 0.13)mmol/L vs.(1.36±0.24)mmol/L,P <0.05]in combined treatment group.Conclusion:Atorvastatin com-bined irbesartan can significantly improve blood lipid,arterial and ventricular remodeling in EH patients.
