Circ_SAR1A regulates the malignant behavior of lung cancer cells via the miR‐21‐5p/TXNIP axis

BackgroundLung cancer is one of the most common malignancies globally and a significant component of cancer‐related deaths. The lack of early diagnosis accounts for detecting approximately 75% of cancer patients at an intermediate to an advanced stage, with a low 5‐year survival rate. Therefore, a more comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms of lung cancer development is necessary to find reliable and effective therapeutic and diagnostic biomarkers.Methodscirc_SAR1A, miR‐21‐5p, and TXNIP in lung cancer tissues, animal xenografts, and cell lines were validated by qRT‐PCR and western blotting analyses. RNase R digestion and nuclear/cytoplasm fractionation experiments were utilized to determine the stability and localization of circ_SAR1A in lung cancer cells. The binding between miR‐21‐5p and circ_SAR1A or TXNIP was confirmed by luciferase reporter, RNA pull‐down, Spearman''s correlation, and rescue assays. CCK‐8, colony formation, flow cytometry, Transwell, and western blotting were utilized to illustrate the malignant behavior of lung cancer cells.Resultscirc_SAR1A and TXNIP were down‐regulated while miR‐21‐5p was up‐regulated in lung cancer samples and cells. circ_SAR1A was located predominantly in the cytoplasm; it inhibited lung cancer growth in vitro and in vivo by sponging to miR‐21‐5p. miR‐21‐5p silencing suppressed lung cancer malignancy by targeting TXNIP.Conclusionscirc_SAR1A is a critical negative regulator of lung carcinogenesis. circ_SAR1A/miR‐21‐5p/TXNIP attenuation inhibited lung cancer progression, presenting an ideal diagnostic and a potential therapeutic target.     

注射海洛因致破伤风的观察与护理

破伤风杆菌是一种厌氧芽孢杆菌,必须通过皮肤或粘膜伤口才能侵入人体,在缺氧环境下才能致病[1].但近年来由于毒品的危害日益严重,注射毒品时因消毒不严或使用不洁注射器而导致破伤风感染已非罕见.三年来我科共收治破伤风15例,其中因注射海洛因引起的占6例,现报告如下.     

A PCR-basedRapidNeutralizationAssay for GII.4 NorovirusInfection in HIEC6CellCulture

Because of limited viral replication and lack of cytopathic effect in cell culture,a new PCR-based rapid seroneutralization assay for detection of GII.4norovirus neutralized antibodies was developed with serum samples from acute-phase patients,convalescent-phase patients and healthy controls.According to this study,neutralizing antibodies were detected in 100% of     

快速循环型情感性精神病的随访

作者对1983年1月至1986年6月住我院诊断为躁狂抑郁症,并符合Dunner快速循环型情感性精神病(RCAD)的27例患者中,仅18例获得为期1年半至4年半的临床随访研究,结果表明,8例有躁郁发作,其中仅1例属快速循环型发作,10例无复发。抑郁发作者对锂盐或停用抗抑郁剂有效,而躁狂发作者对卡马西平反应良好。这些病例治疗反应的差异提示RCAD可能存在生物学的异源性。

Effect of statins use on the prevention of venous thromboembolism： a meta-analysis

ObjectiveTo estimate the effect of statins use on the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE).MethodsWe systematically searched MEDLINE (1980-June 2012), EMBASE (1980-June 2012), Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and ISI Web of Science, manually reviewed references, and contacted experts. Case-control studies and cohort studies that compared any dose of statin with no statin or placebo are included. Data extraction and study quality evaluation were independently conducted in duplicate.Results12 studies including four cohort studies and eight case-control studies were identified and eligible for meta-analysis. Upon meta-analysis, statin use was associated with a statistically significant reduction in the odds of developing VTE (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.86–0.96).ConclusionThis meta-analysis of current and available literature suggests that statins can reduce patient's risk of developing VTE. Due to the limitations of observational study, this conclusion should be considered with caution, and additionally, specifical well-designed trials are needed.     

Ultrasound can Modulate Neuronal Development: Impact on Neurite Growth and Cell Body Morphology

Neuronal development is known to be a dynamic process that can be modulated by presenting guidance cues to neuronal cells. We show that ultrasound, when applied at pulsed settings and with intensities slightly greater than clinical diagnosis levels, can potentially act as a repulsive cue for modulating neuronal growth dynamics. Using differentiated Neuro-2a cells as the model, we have examined in vitro how neuronal development can change during and after exposure to 1-MHz ultrasound for different acoustic settings. Neurite retraction and cell body shrinkage were found in neuronal cells over a 10-min exposure period with 1.168 W/cm² spatial-peak, time-averaged intensity (based on 0.84 MPa peak acoustic pressure, 100-cycle pulse duration, and 500-Hz pulse repetition frequency). These effects were found to result in instances of neuronal cell body displacement. The extent of the effects was dependent on acoustic intensity, with peak acoustic pressure being a more important contributing factor compared with pulse duration. The morphological changes were found to be non-destructive, in that post-exposure neurite outgrowth and neuritogenesis were respectively observed in neurite-bearing and neurite-less neuronal cells. Our results also showed that mechanotransduction might be involved in mediating ultrasound-neuron interactions, as the morphological changes were suppressed if stretch-activated ion channels were blocked or if calcium messenger ions were chelated. Overall, these findings suggest that ultrasound can potentially influence how neuronal cells develop through modifying their cytomechanical characteristics.     

抗击严重急性呼吸综合征的医生与护士心理状态的比较与分析

为分析抗击严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)的医生与护士的心理状态和差异,在SARS暴发的3个月中共收集了来自多家SARS定点医院的1532份医生和护士的心理健康问卷,应用时勘心理量表与Zung自评抑郁量表进行分析比较。发现无论处于一线还是二线,医生的一般心理健康得分要高于护士,自评抑郁量表得分低于护士,且护士的自评抑郁量表得分要高于常模组。逐步相关回归分析显示,抑郁量表得分同压力源,如“社会对医护人员的支持不够”,“治疗条件和生活环境不好”,“缺乏家庭亲人的支持和交流”等有关,同参加体育锻炼的程度,文化程度呈负相关。医生的心理状态和抑郁状态好于护士。提示应针对不同原因给予干预,同时应对于发现的相关因素予以改善。
