ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: As the most common and detrimental brain tumor with high invasiveness and poor prognosis, glioblastoma (GBM) has severely threatened people's health globally. Therefore, it is of great importance and necessary to identify the molecular mechanisms involved in tumorigenesis and development, thus contributing to potential therapeutic targets and strategies. METHODS: The level of circ_0001588 was detected in 68 pairs of GBM tissues and adjacent normal tissues and human glioma cell lines via a real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Then, the effect of circ_0001588 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells was evaluated. In addition, potential downstream targets of circ_0001588 were forecasted by circBANK and Starbase. Their interaction was confirmed by introducing luciferase reporter assays. Moreover, sh-circ_0001588 transfected U251 cells were used to form tumors in vivo. Finally, the functional mechanism of circ_0001588 was identified by qRT-PCR, western blotting, xenograft and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays. RESULTS: The expression of circ_0001588 is markedly up-regulated in GBM tissues and human gliomas cells. Additionally, increased expression of circ_0001588 is positively relevant with poor survival in GBM patients. The down-regulation of circ_0001588 distinctly inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of GBM in vitro, as well as tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, knockdown of circ_0001588 reduces the tumor volume and weight, enhances the relative IHC staining index of E-cadherin and decreases the relative IHC staining index of Ki-67, Yin Yang 1 (YY1) and vinmentin in vivo. Mechanistically, circ_0001588 locates in the cytoplasm, which is directly bound with miR-211-5p. Furthermore, circ_0001588 can positively regulate YY1 via sponging miR-211-5p. Moreover, circ_0001588 accelerates the proliferation, migration and invasion of GBM by modulating miR-211-5p/YY1 signaling. CONCLUSIONS: These results illustrate a new circ_0001588/miR-211-5p/YY1 regulatory signaling axis in GBM.

BACKGROUND: Data was mined with the help of an artificial intelligence system based on Python, data was collected, and a database was established using a Python crawler, and the relationship between the outcome of neurosurgery ICU patients and treatment using traditional Chinese medicine was ascertained through data management and statistical processing. METHOD: The source data cases (n = 2237) were selected. By following the experimental design, data (n = 739) were obtained through artificial intelligence processing, including n = 480 in the group with traditional Chinese medicine treatment and n = 259 in the group without traditional Chinese medicine treatment. An evaluation was carried out using characteristics of patents' ICU stays and summated rating scales. RESULTS: There were statistical differences in 5 evaluation items (P < 0.05), and other comparison items also showed data with results favoring the outcomes in the intervention group using traditional Chinese medicine. Discussion. Traditional Chinese medicine as an alternative medical protocol effectively alleviates the stress and treatment fatigue brought about by modern medicine. Artificial intelligence data mining is a favorable medium to quantify this. Python will play a greater role in future clinical research because of its own characteristics.
