RESUMO
Although studies have demonstrated that stress exacerbates suicidal ideation, limited research has explored the moderating role of meaning in life in the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation. Therefore, this study investigates whether stress and meaning in life are crucial factors in suicidal ideation and whether meaning in life moderates the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation. We recruited 2,094 college students from seven universities in different regions of China. The results of hierarchical regression analyses show that suicidal ideation is positively correlated with stress but negatively with meaning in life, and that meaning in life moderates the relationship between suicidal ideation and personal hassle. These results indicate that intervention strategies that focus on meaning in life can be influential in mitigating suicidal ideation among college students.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the characteristics of early motor development in small for gestational age (SGA) infants at high risk of brain injury.Methods:This study retrospectively enrolled a total of 81 SGA infants and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants who were at high risk of brain injury and attended outpatient follow-up visits in Xi'an Children's Hospital from February to October 2022. Seventeen SGA infants (SGA group) and 24 AGA infants (AGA group) were assessed for motor development using the Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) at 2-5 weeks of corrected age (CA) and 20 SGA infants (SGA group) and 20 AGA infants (AGA group) were assessed at 14-17 weeks of CA. Independent samples t-test, rank-sum test, and Chi-square test were used to compare the demographic characteristics, high-risk factors of brain injury, and TIMP scores between the two groups. Results:At 2-5 weeks and 14-17 weeks of CA, the birth weights of SGA group were both less than those of AGA group [(1 817.1±440.3) vs. (2 630.0±560.9) g, t=-4.98; (1 752.0±434.4) vs. (2 226.3±699.8) g, t=-2.58; both P<0.05], but there were no significant differences in gestational age at birth or high-risk factors of brain injury between the two groups (all P>0.05). (1) At 2-5 weeks of CA: SGA group had lower total TIMP score [(71.6±13.7) vs. (80.5±11.5) scores, t=-2.26, P=0.029], elicited item score [61.0 scores (41.0-85.0 scores) vs. 69.1 scores (49.0-96.0 scores), Z=-2.15, P=0.037], sitting position score [8.8 scores (3.0-19.0 scores) vs. 11.2 scores (5.0-22.0 scores), Z=-2.07, P=0.038], and prone position score [(9.8±3.1) vs. (12.3±3.1) scores, t=-2.19, P=0.034] when compared with AGA group. (2) At 14-17 weeks of CA: The standing position score of the SGA group was lower than that of the AGA group [6.5 scores (4.0-11.0 scores) vs. 7.7 scores (2.0-11.0 scores), Z=-2.05, P=0.040], but no statistical difference was observed in the total TIMP score or the scores of sitting, supine, prone, turning, and lateral positions between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Early motor performance of SGA infants is inferior to AGA infants before five months of age, which is embodied in the poor head control at 2-5 weeks of CA that further affects the stability of standing posture in them at 14-17 weeks of CA.

RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the risk factors of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)infection in tumor patients. Methods:The clinical data of hospitalized tumor patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae(KP)infection admitted in Hangzhou Cancer Hospital during January 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into CRKP group( n=37)and carbapenem-sensitive Klebsiella pneumoniae(CSKP)group( n=142)according to drug sensitivity. The risk factors of CRKP infection were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression. Results:Univariate analysis showed that cardiovascular disease( χ2=4.554, P=0.033),carbapenem use ≥7 days( χ2=53.483, P<0.001)and hospital stay >7 days( χ2=3.871, P=0.049)were significantly associated with CRKP infection in tumor patients. Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that carbapenem therapy for ≥7 days( OR=18.280,95% CI 6.533-51.147, P<0.001)was an independent risk factor for CRKP infection in tumor patients. Conclusion:Tumor patients with long-term use of carbapenems are prone to CRKP infection.
RESUMO
Single-cell or low-input multi-omics techniques have revolutionized the study of pre-implantation embryo development.However,the single-cell or low-input proteomic research in this field is rela-tively underdeveloped because of the higher threshold of the starting material for mammalian embryo samples and the lack of hypersensitive proteome technology.In this study,a comprehensive solution of ultrasensitive proteome technology(CS-UPT)was developed for single-cell or low-input mouse oocyte/embryo samples.The deep coverage and high-throughput routes significantly reduced the starting material and were selected by investigators based on their demands.Using the deep coverage route,we provided the first large-scale snapshot of the very early stage of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition,including almost 5,500 protein groups from 20 mouse oocytes or zygotes for each sample.Moreover,significant protein regulatory networks centered on transcription factors and kinases between the MII oocyte and 1-cell embryo provided rich insights into minor zygotic genome activation.
RESUMO
Pulmonary hypertension(PH)is commonly seen in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)and is significantly associated with increased mortality.The pathophysiological basis of PH is pulmonary vascular dysplasia or remodeling, and airways hyperresponsiveness.At present, management of BPD-PH should be comprehensive supportive therapy and focus on targeted pharmacotherapies, including various pulmonary vasodilators with different vasoactive mechanisms, such as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists and prostaglandins analogs.However, although expert consensus recommends targeted pulmonary arterial hypertension therapy, high-quality clinical studies on the safety and efficacy of these drugs are few.Pulmonary vascular remodeling inhibitors and stem cell therapy have enormous potential to reduce pulmonary hypertension and further research and more data are needed.
RESUMO
Objective:To assess the characteristics and correlation of motor development in preterm infants of different gestational weeks by using the Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) method, and to develop better individualized early interventions based on TIMP test results.Methods:A prospective study involving 43 full-term healthy infants and 77 preterm followed up in 3201 Hospital from June 2019 to July 2021 was conducted.Preterm infants were divided into the early preterm group (39 cases) and late preterm group (38 cases) according to their gestational age at birth.TIMP assessment was performed at the gestational age of 40 weeks and the corrected age of 16 weeks after birth.Similarly, the full-term healthy infants were assessed by TIMP at the postnatal age of 16 weeks.The differences between groups were investigated using ANOVA or Mann- Whitney rank sum test.Correlations were analyzed by the Pearson correlation method. Results:There were no significant difference in TIMP scores between early and late preterm infants at the gestational age of 40 weeks [(65.74±6.52) scores vs.(66.96±8.51) scores] and the corrected age of 16 weeks [(101±10) scores vs.(104±8) scores] (all P>0.05). TIMP scores in the full-term healthy group at the corrected age of 16 weeks [(108±10) scores] differed significantly from those of early and late preterm infants ( P<0.05). Compared with full-term infants, early and late preterm infants had lower TIMP scores in observation, supine position, and supine turning (all P<0.05), but a higher TIMP score in standing position ( P<0.05). For both early and late preterm infants, TIMP scores at the gestational age of 40 weeks were significantly positively correlated with those at the corrected age of 16 weeks ( r=0.565, 0.302, all P<0.01). Conclusions:There were significant differences in motor development between preterm infants of different gestational ages and term infants, which had guiding significance for early intervention.English version TIMP could play a positive role in promoting individualized follow-up and early intervention of preterm infants in China.
RESUMO
Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of neonatal cerebral infarction and its risk factors, so as to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and early prevention of the disease.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the demographic data, clinical manifestations and brain imaging features of neonates with cerebral infarction ( n=45) admitted to the Department of Neonatal Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from June 2012 to July 2020. Ninety newborns without cerebrovascular disease matched for date of birth and gestational age were selected as the control. Two independent sample t-test, rank-sum test, Chi-square or corrected Chi-square test were used for univariate analysis and binary logistic regression were applied for analyzing the risk factors for neonatal cerebral infarction. Results:A total of 45 infants with clinically diagnosed neonatal cerebral infarction were enrolled, including eight small for gestational age and three macrosomia infants. The median age at disease onset was 1 d (1-2 d). There were 71% (32/45) presenting with convulsions as the first symptom, 4% (2/45) admitted with apnea and respiratory distress as the chief complaints, respectively,11% (5/45) having poor response and 9% (4/45) showing no obvious clinical manifestations. Cranial MRI and magnetic resonance angiography identified left hemisphere lesion in 25 cases (56%), right hemisphere lesion in 16 (36%) and both in four (9%). Thalamus and basal ganglia were involved in 11 cases. The lesions were supplied by middle cerebral artery [38% (17/45)], anterior cerebral artery ( n=1), posterior cerebral artery ( n=4), anterior and middle cerebral arteries ( n=4), middle and posterior cerebral arteries ( n=16), or anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries ( n=3). Univariate analysis showed that the proportions of small for gestational age [18% (8/45) vs 6% (5/90), χ 2=5.15], cesarean section after failure of trial of labor [18% (8/45) vs 1% (1/90), χ 2=10.85], meconium stained amniotic fluid [33% (15/45) vs 9% (8/90), χ 2=12.68], fetal distress [20% (9/45) vs 3% (3/90), χ 2=8.34] and neonatal asphyxia [16% (7/45) vs 2% (2/90), χ 2=6.56] were all higher in the infarcted infants than those in the control (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that small for gestational age ( OR=3.981, 95% CI: 1.075-14.742, P=0.039), cesarean section after failure of trial of labor ( OR=17.959, 95% CI: 2.032-158.698, P=0.009) and fetal distress ( OR=5.756, 95% CI: 1.129-29.331, P=0.035) were independent risk factors for neonatal cerebral infarction. Conclusions:Most neonates with cerebral infarction would have convulsions initially, while some are asymptomatic. Middle cerebral arteries are often involved in the lesion. The risk of this disease may be increased in small for gestational age infants, cesarean section after failure of trial of labor and fetal distressed cases.
RESUMO
Objective:A clinical prediction model was constructed based on the related factors affecting neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. The patients with EOS amditted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Xi′an Jiaotong University from April 2015 to April 2020 were enrolled. The demographic data and the clinical indicators within 8 hours after admission were collected. The death 7 days after admission was taken as the end event. The differences of various indexes between the survival group and the death group were compared. After univariate analysis of the indexes that may have an impact on the prognosis, binary logistic regression analysis was performed; The predictive model was established for the factors that may affect the prognosis; the predictive value of the relevant models was analyzed by recevier operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the model was verified by independent clinical medical records.Results:A total of 139 children were enrolled, and 41 died within 7 days, with a fatality rate of 29.50%. Compared with the survival group, the dead group had higher white blood cells (WBC), serum procalcitonin (PCT), lactic acid (Lac), creatinine (Scr), D-dimer and Paediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) score {WBC(×10 9/L): 24.15[4.36, 29.36] vs 21.21[19.14, 28.36], PCT: (67.32±40.36)ng/L vs (37.76±25.11)ng/L, Lac: (8.69±6.17)mmol/L vs (2.34±1.11)mmol/L, Scr: (239.99±68.46)μmol/L vs (65.31±34.34)μmol/L, D-dimer(mg/L): 5.21[2.06, 21.49] vs 0.34[0.26, 0.45], PRISM Ⅲ: (19.52±6.25)s vs (10.63±2.05)s, all P<0.05}, and lower fibrinogen (Fib), platelet count (PLT) and hemoglobin concentration (Hb) [Fib: (1.48±1.19)g/L vs (2.44±0.83)g/L, PLT: (154±58)×10 9/L vs (189±29)×10 9/L, Hb: (169±49)g/L vs (182±52)g/L, all P<0.05]. The incidence of placental/umbilical cord lesions, amniotic fluid pollution, asphyxia, premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, positive etiology and maternal infection in the death group were higher than those in the survival group, while the gestational age and weight were lower than those in the survival group (all P<0.05); Binary logistic regression analysis showed that Lac, PCT and premature rupture of membranes were independent risk factors for the prognosis of EOS [odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI): Lac was 1.23(1.00-2.05), PCT was 1.05(1.03-1.85), premature rupture of membranes was 2.59(1.89-3.32), all P<0.05]; ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.967; the predicted sensitivity was 88.70%; and the specificity was 78.20% respectively. Conclusions:PCT, Lac and premature rupture of membranes are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of EOS. The clinical prognosis prediction model constructed by combining PLT, gestational age and weight has good prediction efficiency.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of bladder urothelial carcinoma(BUC).Methods:A comparative analysis of 138 patients with bladder lesions (123 cases of BUC and 15 cases of other benign lesions) who were hospitalized in Union Hospital, Fujian Medical University from January 2019 to May 2021 were confirmed by pathology. All patients underwent two-dimensional ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, CEUS examination, the time intensity curve (TIC) of the region of interest(ROI) before operation was drawn, the ultrasound examination results with the pathological diagnosis results were compared and its diagnostic efficiency was analyzed.Results:Among the 138 cases of bladder lesions, 98 cases were single lesions and 40 cases were multiple lesions. In all single lesions, 95 cases were found by two-dimensional ultrasound and 3 cases were missed, while in all multiple lesions, 24 cases were found by two-dimensional ultrasound and 16 cases were missed, but all cases could be shown by CEUS. The sensitivity of CEUS to multiple bladder lesions was higher than that of two-dimensional ultrasound ( P<0.05). Besides, the differences between BUC and benign lesions in color blood flow distribution intensity and CEUS performance were significant (both P<0.05). Malignant lesions were mostly "less- to -rich" blood flow signals, and benign lesions were mainly "less- to- no" blood flow signals.In addition, in the CEUS examination, 83.7% (103/123) of BUC were high enhancement, and only 33.3% (5/15) of benign lesions were high enhancement. The diagnostic accuracy, specificity and negative predictive value of CEUS(89.9%, 46.7%, 53.8%) were higher than that of two-dimensional ultrasound(67.4%, 13.3%, 13.3%). The area under the curve, the rising slope and the peak intensity of BUC were all higher than those of benign lesions, and the differences were significant(all P<0.05), but none of them was independent risk factor for BUC ( P>0.05). Conclusions:CEUS can significantly improve the diagnostic sensitivity of bladder multiple lesions and help to improve the diagnostic accuracy of BUC, while the area under the curve, the rising slope and the peak intensity of TIC were not the independent risk factors for BUC.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the correlation between migraine and overall burden of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).Methods:Migraine patients who visited the headache clinic of Jiangyin People's Hospital from January 2021 to October 2021 were selected as the case group, and healthy people who had no previous primary headache of any type and matched age and sex in the same period were selected as the control group. Various CSVD phenotypes, including vasogenic lacuna, white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and enlarged perivascular space (EPVS) were detected by the multimodal MRI, and the overall burden score of CSVD was calculated. The detection rates of CSVD and its phenotypes and the overall burden of CSVD were compared between the case group and the control group. The subjects with CSVD were divided into mild group, moderate group and severe group according to the overall burden score of CSVD. The independent influencing factors of the overall burden of CSVD were identified by the ordinal multi-classification logistic regression model. Results:A total of 109 migraine patients and 100 healthy controls were enrolled. The detection rate of CSVD (65.13% vs. 46.00%; P=0.005) and the proportion of patients with severe CSVD overall burden (24.77% vs. 10.00%; P=0.005) in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group. In terms of specific CSVD phenotypes, the detection rates of WMHs (48.62% vs. 33.00%; P=0.022) and CMBs (35.80% vs. 19.00%; P=0.007) in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group, while there were no significant differences in vasogenic lacuna and moderate to severe EPVS. Univariate analysis showed that the overall burden of CSVD was significantly associated with age, migraine, hypertension, baseline diastolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and glycosylated hemoglobin (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that age (odds ratio [ OR] 3.731, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.051-1.217; P=0.001), migraine ( OR 2.812, 95% CI 1.045-5.124; P=0.012), hypertension ( OR 2.112, 95% CI 1.525-4.021; P=0.032), and LDL-C ( OR 2.512, 95% CI 1.541-4.312; P=0.023) were independently associated with the overall burden of CSVD. Conclusions:The detection rate of CSVD in migraine patients is higher than that in the general population, especially WMHs and CMBs. Migraine is independently associated with the overall burden of CSVD.

RESUMO
Objective:To explore the expression and clinical significance of IL-1β and IL-1β receptor antagonist(IL-1ra)in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn(PPHN)secondary to sepsis.Methods:The newborns with sepsis were enrolled in the Department of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU)of Xi′an Children′s Hospital from January 2018 to November 2020.The newborns with sepsis were divided into two groups: the newborns without PPHN( n=108)were the control group and the newborns with PPHN( n=44)were the experimental group.Clinical data, laboratory examination and bedside echocardiography of all the newborns were collected to analyze the differences between the two groups.The expression levels of IL-1β and IL-1ra in neonatal plasma of the two groups were detected by enzym-linked immunosorbination(ELISA), and their roles in neonatal sepsis with PPHN were further analyzed.The risk factors of neonatal sepsis with PPHN were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression, and the early prediction value of the risk factors for neonatal sepsis with PPHN were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve. Results:There were no significant differences in gestational age[(39.11±0.55)w vs(38.85±0.72)w], birth weight[(3.30±0.49)kg vs(3.24±0.55)kg]and proportions of males[60(55.6%)vs 30(68.2%)]between the two groups( P>0.05). The right ventricular diameter[(9.57±0.35)mm], pulmonary artery pressure[(51.36±5.91)mmHg]and the level of N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)[(25436.83±12343.18)ng/L)]significantly increased in the experimental group than those in the control group[(8.77±0.41)mm, (31.24±5.11)mmHg, (11267.09±4405.48)ng/L, respectively, P<0.05]. Before treatment, the expression levels of plasma IL-1β[(31.24±5.25)ng/L]and IL-1ra[(41.94±10.13)ng/L]in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group[(18.27±4.47)ng/L, (21.47±8.76)ng/L, respectively, P<0.05]. The expression levels of plasma IL-1β[(10.46±3.17)ng/L]and IL-1ra[(10.58±2.94)ng/L]in the experimental group after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment[(31.24±5.25)ng/L, (41.94±10.13)ng/L , respectively, P<0.05]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that IL-1β and NT-proBNP were the independent risk factors for neonatal sepsis with PPHN( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that IL-1β and NT-proBNP had the good predictive value for the occurrence of neonatal sepsis with PPHN( P<0.05). IL-1β combined with NT-proBNP has the better predictive value for neonatal sepsis with PPHN. Conclusion:IL-1β combined with NT-proBNP have the high predictive value for PPHN of the newborns secondary to sepsis.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of coronary angiography-based fractional flow reserve(caFFR)versus a wire-based fractional flow reserve(FFR)in elderly patients with stable ischemic heart disease.Methods:A total of 168 patients(186 vessels)who underwent a pressure wire(PW)-based FFR measurement from Jan.2015 to Dec.2019 in Beijing hospital were enrolled and analyzed retrospectively.Coronary angiography images and matched steady-state aortic pressure of patients were sent to the core laboratory for caFFR measurement under the blind method.All patients were divided into the non-elderly group(<65 years, n=93)and the elderly group(≥65 years, n=75). The diagnostic value of caFFR was evaluated by using the wire-based FFR cut-off value of ≤0.80 as the reference standard.The correlation and consistency of caFFR and wire-based FFR were analyzed, and compared between the non-elderly and elderly groups.Results:The caFFR had a good correlation and consistency with wire-based FFR in the elderly group( r=0.796, P<0.01). In non-aged versus elderly groups, diagnostic accuracy of caFFR was 91.9% versus 93.1%, diagnostic sensitivity of caFFR was 91.8% vs.93.2%, diagnostic specificity of caFFR was 92.3% vs.93.0%, all P>0.05.The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of caFFR had no significant difference between the non-elderly and elderly patients(0.964 vs.0.972, Z=0.00823, 95% CI: -0.037-0.052, P>0.05). Conclusions:The caFFR has a good diagnostic correlation and consistency with wire-based FFR in the elderly group, and caFFR's diagnostic performance in the elderly is similar to that in the non-elderly patients.

【Objective】 To investigate the complaints of blood quality in Changsha, in order to continuously improve blood quality management. 【Methods】 The Handling Forms of Blood Quality Complaints of our center during 2014~2019, and the blood units issued, corresponded to the occurrence period of complaints, were collected from the SHINOW 9.0 system, and the overall blood supply and complaints of blood quality, including various components, were classified and analyzed by SPSS19.0. 【Results】 1 865 466 bags of blood were delivered from 2014 to 2019 in Changsha, coming down 435 complaints with 435 bags of blood involved, and the total ratio of blood quality complaints rated at 0.23‰(435/1 865 466), of which red blood cell complaint accounted for 45.06%(196/435), with a rise from 30.23%(26/86) in 2014 to 49.49%(49/99) in 2019. Meanwhile, the cryoprecipitate complaint increased from 10.47%(9/86) to 20.20%(20/99). The complaints were mainly broken blood bags 29.89%(130/435), positive serological testing results(irregular antibody screening+ or direct anti globulin test+ ) 34.48%(150/435), floccule or precipitates 18.39%(80/435), clot 5.52%(24/435), lipemia 3.45%(15/435), and blood type variant(ABO subgroups and variants of RhD) 2.07%(9/435). The complaints were different in blood components, each with a particular tilt as follows: positive serological testing results in red blood cell [72.45%(142/186)], broken blood bags in plasma [83.74%(103/123)], floccule or precipitates in platelet [54.17%(13/24)] and cryoprecipitate [64.13%(59/92)] . 【Conclusion】 Broken blood bags of plasma, floccule or precipitates of cryoprecipitate, and positive serological testing results of red blood cell were the main complaints of blood quality in Changsha. Blood banks should strengthen quality control, handle quality complains cautiously and strengthen community with hospitals before transfusion to improve blood satisfaction in clinical, and save blood resources.
RESUMO
Objective:To observe the effects of microRNA-21 (miR-21) on cell invasion, migration and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells, and explore the potential molecular mechanism.Methods:Recombinant plasmids carrying miR-21 or small interfering RNA targeting miR-21 were constructed. Using blank plasmid as the control, the recombinant plasmids were transfected with human pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells by liposome method, respectively to establish blank group, miR-21 overexpression group (overexpression group) and miR-21 silence group (silence group) PANC1 cell lines. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis were detected by MTT method, flow cytometry, transwell chamber and wound scratch test, respectively. ELISA and Western blot were used to measure the protein expression of programmed cell death factor 4(PDCD4), gene of phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromsome ten (PTEN), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), survivin, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9.Results:After 24 h cell culture, the cell proliferation rate of blank group, overexpression group and silence group was (20.72±5.62)%, (28.46±6.12)% and (14.05±3.36 )%; cell apoptosis rate was (5.89±0.26)%, (4.62±0.19)% and (8.66±2.55)%; the number of transmembrane cells was (212.4±32.5), (508.8±50.7) and (50.9±10.6) per 200 times visual field; the area covered by migrated cells was (75.6±12.1), (118.8±20.2) and (48.8±9.5)mm 2 per 200 times visual field; the expression of PDCD4 was 0.85±0.22, 0.72±0.10 and 1.36±0.41; the expression of PTEN was 0.85±0.21, 0.28±0.09 and 1.36±0.45; the expression of VEGF was 0.79±0.24, 1.15±0.31 and 0.46±0.10; the expression of survivin was 1.02±0.33, 1.51±0.42 and 0.52±0.12; the expression of MMP-2 was 1.12±0.22, 1.86±0.52 and 0.56±0.18; the expression of MMP-9 was 1.06±0.15, 1.78±0.48 and 0.49±0.12. All the differences among the three groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Compared with blank group, the cell apoptosis rate, PDCD4 and PTEN expression were increased, while cell proliferation, invasion and migration, and the protein expression of VEGF, survivin, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were all decreased; the changes in silence group was totally contrary to those in overexpression group. All the differences among the three groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:miR-21 silencing can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of PANC1 cells and promote apoptosis, and the mechanism was possibly associated with the upregulation of PDCD4 and PTEN protein expression.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the genetic basis for a fetus with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).@*METHODS@#Fetal tissue and peripheral blood samples were respectively obtained from the abortus and the couple. Following extraction of genomic DNA, genetic testing was carried out.@*RESULTS@#The fetus was found to carry compound heterozygous variants of the PKHD1 gene, namely c.5336A>T (p.N1779I) and c.9455delA (p.N3152Tfs*10), which were respectively inherited from the husband and wife.@*CONCLUSION@#The c.5336A>T and c.9455delA variants of the PKHD1 gene probably account for the ARPKD in the fetus. Above results have enabled genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the couple.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of short-term rehabilitation therapy based on exercise on lung function in coal workers' with pneumoconiosis(CWP). METHODS: A total of 74 CWP patients were divided into control group(32) and treatment group(42) by random number table method. The control group received routine treatment only. The treatment group underwent 6 months of exercise-based rehabilitation treatment on the basis of routine treatment. The lung function was assessed in two groups to evaluate the treatment efficacy. RESULTS: Before rehabilitation treatment, the vital capacity(VC) and forced vital capacity(FVC) of patients in the treatment group were lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). But there was no significant difference in forced expiratory volume in first second(FEV_(1.0)) and FEV_(1.0)% between the two groups(P>0.05). After treatment, VC and FVC in the treatment group were higher than that before treatment in the same group(P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the four lung function indexes before and after treatment in the control group(P>0.05). The difference of VC and FVC before and after treatment in the treatment group was higher than those in the control group(P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference in FEV_(1.0 )and FEV_(1.0)% between the two groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Exercise-based short-term rehabilitation therapy can improve lung ventilation of CWP patients.
