AKR7A3在肺腺癌中异常表达及临床意义

目的:探讨醛-酮还原酶家族7成员A3（AKR7A3）在肺腺癌中的异常表达及与临床病理特征的关系，并探究其临床意义。方法:采用生物信息学数据库分析、免疫组化、Western Blot、Real-time PCR等方法对肺腺癌组织及不同细胞中AKR7A3的表达进行检测与分析。结果:Oncomine数据库分析结果显示，在肺腺癌中，AKR7A3的表达普遍高于正常肺组织，分别为正常肺组织的1.811倍（P=0.022）、1.356倍（P<0.01）、1.413倍（P=0.002）。Kaplan-Meier Plotter数据库分析结果显示，AKR7A3高表达的患者较低表达的患者生存时间缩短，差异具有统计学意义（P=0.003 7）。免疫组化染色显示肺腺癌组织中AKR7A3的表达较癌旁增高，在与临床病理特征的相关性分析中，发现其与肿瘤分化程度（P<0.01）、淋巴结转移情况（P=0.029）以及TNM分期（P<0.01）相关，且会造成患者生存时间缩短（P=0.031）。Cox多因素分析表明AKR7A3可能是影响肺腺癌患者预后的独立危险因素(P=0.012)。Western Blot及Real-time PCR实验提示不同肺腺癌细胞中AKR7A3蛋白及mRNA表达普遍增高。结论:AKR7A3在肺腺癌中表达增高，对预后有不良影响，有促进肿瘤发生发展的作用。     

Design and synthesis of novel organometallic complexes using boronated phenylalanine derivatives as potential anticancer agents

Drug design and discovery studies are important because of the prevalence of diseases without available medical cures. New anticancer agents are particularly urgent because of the high mortality rate associated with cancer. A series of mononuclear gold (III) and platinum (II) complexes based on boronated phenylalanine (BPA) were designed and synthesized using 4,4’-dimethyl-2,2’-dipyridyl (L1) or 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dion (L2) ligands to obtain promising anticancer drug candidates. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, mass spectrometry, and elemental analyses were utilized for chemical characterizations. Cell viability, cancer cell colony formation, endothelial tube formation, and cytoskeleton staining assays were performed using A549 lung adenocarcinoma and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to investigate preliminary pharmacological activities. L1-based platinum (II) complex (BPA-L1-Pt) was the most promising complex, and has similar activity with the approved chemotherapy drug cis-platinum. Half maximal inhibitory concentration values for BPA-L1-Pt were 9.15 µM on A549s and 16.61 µM on HUVECs; the values for cis-platinum were 5.24 µM on A549s and 23.14 µM on HUVECs. Consequently, further synthesis studies should be performed to boost the cancer cell selectivity feature of BPA by varying metal and ligand types.     

膝关节前外侧韧带的研究进展

目的对膝关节前外侧韧带（anterolateral ligament，ALL）的研究进展进行综述，为临床诊治提供参考。方法广泛查阅近年来国内外有关 ALL 损伤诊断及治疗的文献，总结膝关节 ALL 解剖形态、生物力学以及 ALL 损伤机制、治疗现状。结果膝关节 ALL 具有限制胫骨内旋及前移作用，影响膝关节轴移。ALL 损伤后可结合患者体征和 MRI 检查诊断。膝关节 ALL 手术指征尚未统一，但多数学者倾向于对需进行前交叉韧带（anterior cruciate ligament，ACL）重建或翻修且伴有高度轴移试验阳性的患者进行 ALL 重建。目前 ALL 重建方式较多，但尚无最佳治疗术式。此外，由于缺乏高质量的术后长期随访研究，远期临床疗效仍不明确。结论ALL 在维持膝关节稳定性方面具有一定作用，但 ALL 重建技术及临床疗效仍待进一步研究。

奥沙利铂通过调控miRNA-7-5p/RAF-1促进胃癌SGC-7901细胞凋亡的研究

目的探讨奥沙利铂如何调控MAPK通路,抑制胃癌细胞的增殖。方法NCBI检索文献,利用TargetScan、StarBase和miRBase数据库,进行GO分析与KEGG通路富集,找到相关miRNAs,预测靶基因。应用Real-time PCR、MTT、Hoechst33258、流式细胞术、细胞划痕实验、Western blot等方法分析人胃癌SGC-7901细胞的增殖、细胞周期、侵袭及蛋白表达情况。结果胃癌细胞中miR-7-5p显著低表达,RAF1与miR-7-5p存在互靶关系。miR-7-5p mimics与奥沙利铂均可促进SGC-7901细胞的凋亡,提高G1期细胞百分率(P<0.05),降低侵袭、迁移速度。caspase3、caspase9蛋白表达升高,Bcl-2/Bax比值降低(P<0.05)。结论过表达miR-7-5p与奥沙利铂均可促进胃癌SGC-7901细胞的凋亡,提示奥沙利铂可能通过上调miRNA-7-5p促进SGC-7901细胞的凋亡,降低侵袭、迁移速度。     

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) level and MMP9 -1562C>T in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control studies

BackgroundThe peripheral level of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and polymorphism of MMP9 -1562C>T in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains controversial. Therefore, the aims of this systemic review and meta-analysis are to assess the MMP9 level in OSA patients and identify the relationship between MMP9 -1562C>T and OSA susceptibility.MethodsThis systematic review was performed following the PRISMA guideline. We searched for studies in major databases, identifying those indexed from inception to July 3, 2019 which related to MMP9 level, MMP9 -1562C>T and OSA. The pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of MMP9 levels were calculated. In addition, the relationship between MMP9 -1562C>T and OSA susceptibility was assessed by three genetic models. The heterogeneity analysis and calculation of the pooled odds ratio (OR) were also performed, followed by quality assessment using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS).ResultsIn sum, our review included 15 eligible studies regarding MMP9 level and three regarding MMP9 -1562C>T. The pooled results showed that peripheral level of MMP9 was increased in OSA patients (SMD = 1.37; 95% CI = 1.15–1.59). Furthermore, significant difference of MMP9 level can be found between severe and mild-to-moderate OSA patients (SMD = 28.17; 95% CI = 4.23–52.11) or between moderate-severe and mild OSA (SMD = 36.62; 95% CI = 12.19–61.04). However, no relationship was observed between MMP9 -1562C>T and OSA susceptibility in three genetic models (Homozygote model, OR = 1.37; 95% CI = 0.87–2.18); (Recessive model, OR = 1.42; 95% CI = 0.83–2.42); (Allele model, OR = 1.07; 95% CI = 0.96–1.18).ConclusionsThis systemic review and meta-analysis indicated that the level of MMP9 was increased in patients with OSA and this increase is relevant to OSA severity. Moreover, the relationship between MMP9 -1562 C>T and OSA susceptibility has currently not been proven by current merging values. Further analyses with larger sample size are required to verify these associations.
