ABSTRACT

This study was to investigate the effect of microribonucleic acid (mi-RNA) on the resistance of human multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) to osteosarcoma through the Trico-nasal finger syndrome 1 (TRPS1) pathway, as well as the effect of mi-RNA on biofilm formation. For this purpose, firstly, the expression of MDR1 and TRPS1 in osteosarcoma cells was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology. Moreover, the clinical paraffin sections of osteosarcoma cells were collected to explore the correlation between MDR1 and TRPS1. Then, both the MG-38 cells expressing and not expressing miR-138 were expanded. Afterward, a plasmid with a full-length clone of the TRPS1 antibody was applied to transfect the cells. Besides, Q-OCR was employed to detect the expression of TRPS1 and MDR1, and the expression of TRPS1 protein and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was detected by Western blot (WB). The MTT method was adopted to detect the changes in the median lethal dose of doxorubicin and cisplatin in cells from each group. The well plate was used to establish an in vitro bacterial infection biofilm model, and the above two transfected cells were added during the model establishment process. Moreover, the formation of biofilm in the two groups was observed. The result of the paraffin biopsy was 33% (25/75) of mi-RNA, the positive rate of TRPS1 was 18.6%, and the Pearson correlation coefficient of the two was 0.477. Under mi-RNA interference, the TRPS1 and MDR1 of the three system cells were sharply reduced, and the trend of changes between the two was the same. The tolerance of the mi-RNA interference group to doxorubicin, cisplatin, paclitaxel and 5-fluorouracil decreased steeply, and the median lethal dose dropped, while the non-mi-RNA interference group showed the opposite trend. In addition, the number of colonies in the interference group was less sharp than that of the control group and the non-mi-RNA interference group. The conclusion was that mi-RNA could control the expression of MDR1 through the TRPS1 pathway, thus affecting the multi-drug resistance of osteosarcoma and also influencing the formation of bacterial biofilms.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the reasons for ABO blood group forward typing and reverse typing incompatibility of the proband by serological and molecular biological tests, so as to clarify the blood group and genetic rules and determine the reasonable transfusion strategy. METHODS: On the basis of serological testing results, PCR-SSP method was utilized for the ABO exon sequencing in the peripheral blood of the proband and 5 family members, and blood group results were comprehensively analyzed. RESULTS: The serological results of ABO blood group of the proband were incompatibility, and the molecular biological test results showed that there was a c.700C>G mutation compared with B101, which was consistent with B(A)02 subtype, and the genotype was B(A)02/O02. The results of the elder brother was the same as the proband. The nephew of the proband also detected c.700C>G, genotype A102/B(A) 02. CONCLUSION: When the result of standard serological test for ABO blood group incompatibility occurs, using molecular biology detection technology to explore mutation is an effective method to confirm ABO subtype, and ensures the safety of clinical blood transfusion.

ABSTRACT

Long noncoding RNAs have been demonstrated to play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of spinal cord injury (SCI). In this study, we aimed to explore the roles and underlying mechanisms of lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) in SCI progression. SCI mice model was constructed and evaluated by the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan method. The SCI cell model was constructed by treating BV2 cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The levels of XIST and miR-219-5p were determined by the reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The concentrations of inflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Protein levels were measured via western blot assay. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated by cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. The relationship between XIST and miR-219-5p was analyzed by online tool starBase, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. As a result, the XIST level was enhanced and the miR-219-5p level was declined in the SCI mice model. XIST was also upregulated in LPS-induced BV2 cells. LPS treatment restrained BV2 cell viability and accelerated apoptosis and inflammatory response. XIST knockdown effectively weakened LPS-induced BV2 cell injury. miR-219-5p was identified as a target of XIST. Moreover, inhibition of miR-219-5p restored the impacts of XIST knockdown on cell viability, apoptosis, and inflammation in LPS-treated BV2 cells. In addition, LPS-induced XIST promoted the activation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway by sponging miR-219-5p. In conclusion, XIST silencing promoted microglial cell viability and repressed apoptosis and inflammation by sponging miR-219-5p, thus promoting the recovery of SCI.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Barbed suture is a novel type of suture introduced in different surgical specialties. Nevertheless, its effect in total knee replacement is still unclear in terms of wound complications and cost effectiveness. The purpose of the present work is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bidirectional barbed suture in reducing postoperative wound complications in the patients undergoing total knee replacement. METHODS: This prospective, randomized, and controlled study was performed from January 2017 to December 2018. It was authorized via institutional review committee of Yuebei People's Hospital (GDYB1002189). Hundred participants were divided randomly into 2 groups, namely, control group (n = 50) and the study group (n = 50), respectively. All operations were performed using the Miller-Galante prosthesis (Zimmer; Warsaw, IN). For study groups, the joint capsule (Stratafix1-0) and subcutaneous (Stratafix2-0) and intracutaneous (Stratafix3-0) tissues were sutured by a bidirectional barbed suture. At the end, extra 4 to 5 stitches were made to avoid detachment and incision rupture. For control group: the joint capsule was sutured by a traditional absorbable suture (Ethicon VICRYL* Plus 1-0), and the subcutaneous tissue was sutured by an absorbable suture (Ethicon VICRYL* Plus 2-0). The skin was sutured by staples. Incision length, suture time, operation time, postoperative length of hospital stay, and incision complications (such as effusion, infection, hematoma, and skin necrosis) were recorded. All data analyses are implemented through utilizing SPSS for Windows Version 20.0. RESULTS: The results will be shown in Table 1. CONCLUSION: This study can reach a reliable evidence for utilizing bidirectional barbed suture in wound closure in total knee replacement. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry5823).

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of cervical kinematic MRI (KMRI) in patients with cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation (CSCIWFD). METHODS: This was a single-institution case-only study. Patients with CSCIWFD were enrolled in our institution from February 2015 to July 2019. Cervical radiography and CT were performed first to exclude cervical tumors, and major fracture or dislocation. Then neutral static and kinematic (flexion and extension) MRI was performed for patients who met the inclusion criteria under the supervision of a spinal surgeon. Any adverse events during the KMRI examination were recorded. Patients received surgical or conservative treatment based on the imaging results and patients' own wishes. The American Spinal Injury Association impairment scale (AIS) grade and the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score were evaluated on admission, before KMRI examination, and after KMRI examination. For the surgical patients, AIS grade and JOA score were evaluated again 1 week after the operation. The JOA scores were compared among different time points using the paired t-test. RESULTS: A total of 16 patients (12 men and 4 women, mean age: 51.1 [30-73] years) with CSCIWFD were included in the present study. Clinical symptoms included facial trauma, neck pain, paraplegia, paresthesia, hyperalgesia, sensory loss or weakness below the injury level, and dyskinesia. On admission, AIS grades were B for 2 cases, C for 5, and D for 9. A total of 14 patients underwent neutral, flexion, and extension cervical MRI examination; 2 patients underwent neutral and flexion examination because they could not maintain the position for a prolonged duration. No patient experienced deterioration of neurological function after the examinations. The AIS grades and JOA scores evaluated post-examination were similar to those evaluated pre-examination (P > 0.05) and significantly higher than those on admission (P < 0.05). A total of 12 patients received surgical treatment, 11 of whom underwent anterior cervical discectomy and interbody fusion and 1 underwent posterior C3/4 fusion with lateral mass screws. The remaining 4 patients were offered conservative therapy. None of the patients experienced any complications during the perioperative period. The AIS grade did not change in most surgical patients, except that 1 patient changed from grade C to D 1 week after the operation. The JOA score 1 week after surgery was significantly higher than those on admission and around examination for the surgical patients (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Cervical KMRI is a safe and useful technique for diagnosis of CSCIWFD, which is superior to static cervical MRI for therapeutic decision-making in patients with CSCIWFD.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for treating osteosarcoma. METHODS: 102 osteosarcoma patients in our hospital were randomly assigned into the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and the surgery group. Patients in the chemotherapy group received neoadjuvant chemotherapy after pathological diagnosis. Surgery was performed 3 weeks after chemotherapy, followed by 4-6 cycles of postoperative chemotherapy. Osteosarcoma patients in the surgery group were operated once diagnosed and received no chemotherapy. Limb salvage or amputation surgery were performed according to the boundary of tumor resection. All patients were followed up for 24 months. The clinical efficacy, limb function, disease-free survival (DFS) and incidence of adverse events were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Limb salvage rate and disease control survival in the chemotherapy group were higher than those of the surgery group (p<0.05). After follow up for 24 months, the 2-year DFS in the chemotherapy group was remarkably prolonged compared to the surgery group (p<0.05). No significant differences in the incidence of adverse events were observed between both groups (p>0.05). Limb function was markedly improved in the chemotherapy group compared with that of the surgery group. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy for treating osteosarcoma remarkably improves the limb salvage rate, disease control rate and overall survival (OS), and constitutes an effective and safe option for osteosarcoma patients.

ABSTRACT

Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common types of primary sarcoma of bone in children and young adults, and the long-term prognosis for OS patients still remains dismal due to the lack of effective early diagnostic biomarkers. Identifying sensitive and specific biomarkers in carcinogenesis may improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this malignancy. The expression of miR-664 in osteosarcoma cell lines and osteosarcoma tissues was examined using real-time PCR. The effects of miR-664 on osteosarcoma cell migration and invasion were evaluated by cell invasion assays, migration assays, and three-dimension spheroid invasion assay. The effect of miR-664 on SOX7 was determined by luciferase assays and Western blot assay. The clinical association between miR-664 and SOX7 was analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot assay. Expression of miR-664 was found to be upregulated in OS cell lines and tissues. Overexpression of miR-664 was associated with increased migration and invasive abilities of OS cells in vitro, whereas downregulation of miR-664 appeared to inhibit their migration and invasive potential. Furthermore, using biological approaches, we showed that miR-664 directly targeted and suppressed expression of the tumor suppressor SOX7. Additionally, the expression of miR-664 was negatively correlated with SOX7 expression in OS clinical tissues. Our findings suggest that miR-664 functions as an oncogene miRNA and has an important role in promoting human OS cell invasion and migration by suppressing SOX7 expression. Consequently, miR-664 may have potential as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target of osteosarcoma.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of abdominal acupuncture on nerve root cervical spondylosis. METHODS: Three hundred cases were randomly assigned to a treatment group and a traction control group. The treatment group were treated with abdominal acupuncture at an acupoint prescription, i.e. Zhongwan (CV 12), Guanyuan (CV 4) and others were selected. The control group were treated with suspended traction by a cervical vertebral extraction belt at pillow-jaw sitting position. The short-term and long-term therapeutic effects were observed at the end of therapeutic course and 90 days after the end of treatment, respectively. RESULTS: The total short-term and the long-term therapeutic effects were 97.3% and 92.7% in the treatment group, and 82.0% and 82.0% in the control group, respectively, with significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Abdominal acupuncture has better short-term and long-term therapeutic effects with short therapeutic course.
