Cancer Med 2020; 9:9499-9510. [PMID: 33089970 PMCID: PMC7774746 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.3544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2020] [Revised: 09/19/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Long noncoding RNA NUTM2A‐AS1 has been shown to be dysregulated in non‐small cell lung carcinoma. To date, it is unclear whether NUTM2A‐AS1 plays a role in gastric cancer progression. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the role of NUTM2A‐AS1 in gastric cancer. mRNA and protein levels were measured by RT‐qPCR and western blot methods. Invasion ability was examined by transwell assay. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Dual‐luciferase assay, RNA pull down, and RNA immunoprecipitation were used to confirm direct binding of between miR‐376a and NUTM2A‐AS1 or TET1. Xenografting tumor assay and TCGA analysis showed the contributory role of NUTM2A‐AS1 in vivo and human clinical setting. Our results suggested that NUTM2A‐AS1 promoted cell viability, invasion, and drug resistance of gastric cancer cells, which was largely rescued by miR‐376a. More interestingly, TET1 and HIF‐1A were negatively regulated by miR‐376a. TET1 could interact with HIF‐1A to modulate PD‐L1. Finally, we revealed that PD‐L1 was key to NUTM2A‐AS1‐ and miR‐376a‐mediated tumorigenesis and drug resistance. In summary, our conclusions facilitate us understand the underlying mechanism and develop novel treatment strategy for gastric cancer.

Int Endod J 2020; 54:241-254. [PMID: 32966618 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 09/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of miR-223 on NLRP3, subsequently regulating the production of the NLRP3/CASP1 inflammasome pathway-mediated proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 in human dental pulp fibroblasts (HDPFs). METHODOLOGY Human dental pulp tissue (HDPT) and HDPFs were obtained from impacted third molars. The miR-223 mimics and inhibitor or NLRP3 plasmid were used to upregulate or downregulate miR-223 or NLRP3 in HDPFs, respectively. Computational prediction via TargetScan 5.1 and a luciferase reporter assay was conducted to confirm target association. The mRNA and protein expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 was determined by qRT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The release of IL-1β and IL-18 was analysed by ELISA. The significance of the differences between the experimental and the control groups was determined using one-way analysis of variance; P < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. RESULTS A decrease in miR-223 and an increase in NLRP3 in HDPT occurred during the transformation of reversible pulpitis into irreversible pulpitis compared to that in healthy pulp tissue (P < 0.05). The computational prediction and luciferase reporter assay confirmed that NLRP3 was a direct target of miR-223 in HDPFs. The miR-223 inhibitor further promoted ATP plus LPS-induced NLRP3/CASP1 inflammasome pathway activation compared to the ATP plus LPS-induced group (P < 0.05). In contrast, the miR-223 mimic significantly inhibited the NLRP3/CASP1 inflammasome pathway activation induced by ATP plus LPS compared to the ATP plus LPS-induced group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION MiR-223 served as a negative regulator involved in the control of the production and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines mediated by the NLRP3/CASP1 inflammasome pathway by targeting NLRP3. These data provide insight into the potential regulatory effects of miRNAs on the NLRP3 inflammasome, thus opening up novel potential therapeutic avenues for future endodontic treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of 23 valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) inoculation against community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) among the elderly aged 60 years old and above in Shanghai. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted using a stratified random sampling from October 2013, in which 1 214 and 2 387 elderly people aged 60 and above were selected as the inoculation group and control group, respectively. And a unified questionnaire was used to investigate the basic information of the subjects in the inoculation group and the control group. From October 2013 to December 2018, the subjects were followed up at home or by telephone for a total of 20 times, mainly for whether they had CAP during the observation period. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to calculate RR and 95%CI of CAP incidence between inoculation group and control group for comparing. Results: There were 556 males (45.8%) in the inoculation group and 1 012 males (42.4%) in the control group. And the incidence density of CAP in the inoculation group was lower than that of the control group (0.848/100 person-years vs. 1.452/100 person-years), and the vaccine protection rate was 41.6%, with a statistically significant difference [RR (95%CI)= 0.584 (0.428-0.790), P<0.001]. After adjusting for age, RR (95%CI) was 0.699 (0.507-0.956), and the difference was still statistically significant (P=0.025).Further stratified analysis showed that the vaccine protective rates of PPV23 in the 60-69 year-old group, the 70-79 year-old group and the ≥80 year-old group were 36.7%, 21.6% and 26.0%, respectively, but only in the 60-69 year-old group showed statistical difference (RR=0.633, 95%CI=0.399-0.990, P=0.045). Conclusion: To a certain extent, the incidence of CAP can be reduced by inoculation of PPV23 in elderly population aged 60 and above in Shanghai, and it should be further recommended in elderly population of low age.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the project personnel's attitude towards the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination program for the elderly in Shanghai and its conversion to routine vaccination and to explore its influential factors, so as to provide reference for the further development of the program. Methods: In 2016, a one-to-one questionnaire survey was conducted among the people involved in the project in the 9 districts of Shanghai and the data of demographic characteristics, cognition of pneumococcal pneumonia and PPV23, evaluation of the project, support rate of the project and its conversion to routine vaccination of the project personnel were collected. Results: Among the 2005 respondents, 28.6% (574 persons) of them were male, 85.5% (1 714 persons) of them supported the free vaccination for the elderly, and 69.5% of them (1 394 persons) supported the routine vaccination. For the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination program, people under 55 years old, in Qingpu District, with poor cognition of pneumonia and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) or having lower evaluation of the project's scientificity or enforceability had lower support rate than others, and the OR (95%CI) were 0.38 (0.19-0.75), 0.21 (0.10-0.43), 0.16 (0.06-0.41) and 0.26 (0.10-0.69). People believing that the elderly were susceptible to pneumococcal pneumonia and PPV23 was safe and reliable, and those who were willing to vaccinate the elderly at home had higher support rate, and the OR (95%CI) were 2.30 (1.18-4.47), 2.84 (1.62-4.69) and 5.60 (3.74-8.38). For the program's conversion to routine vaccination, people under 35 years old, in Qingpu District, in the vaccination clinic, and those believing that the project was not scientific and difficult to implement had low support rate, and the OR (95%CI) were 0.56 (0.32-0.98), 0.48 (0.26-0.89), 0.26 (0.12-0.59), 0.58 (0.42-0.79) and 0.50 (0.30-0.81); people with technical secondary school or senior school, in Jiading, Putuo or Minhang District, believing that PPV23 was effective in the prevention of pneumococcal pneumonia in the elderly, and those who were willing to vaccinate the elderly with PPV23 had higher support rate, and the OR (95%CI) were 1.63 (1.11-2.39), 2.28 (1.71-3.03), 1.69 (1.25-2.28) and 4.10 (2.86-5.88). Conclusion: The support rate of pneumococcal vaccination project for the elderly in Shanghai needs to be improved, especially its conversion to the routine vaccination.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the predictive factors of poor prognosis in children with acute kidney injury (AKI) treated with renal replacement therapy (RRT). Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, the clinical data were collected from 134 pediatric patients (82 male, 52 female) with AKI treated with RRT in six tertiary hospitals from May 2015 to June 2018. According to the serum creatinine level at discharge, the patients were divided into the favorable outcome group and unfavorable outcome group. The data of sex, age, primary diseases, AKI stage, time from diagnosis of AKI to start of RRT (h) and whether to start RRT within 24 hours, urine volume and complications between the two groups were compared. Continuous variables were compared by t test and Mann-Whitney U test, and percentage or proportions were compared by Chi square test. The predictive factors of adverse prognosis were analyzed by using univariate and unconditional binary logistic regression analysis. Results: The average age of the 134 AKI patients was (6±4) years. There were 114 patients (85.0%) in the favorable outcome group and 20 patients (15.0%) in the unfavorable outcome group. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of sex (χ(2)=2.596, P=0.107), age (t=0.718, P=0.474), primary disease (χ(2)=2.076, P=0.722), AKI stage (χ(2)=0.004, P=0.998), time from diagnosis of AKI to start RRT (h) (P=0.745), whether to start RRT within 24 hours (χ(2)=0.016, P=0.899), urine volume (χ(2)=3.118, P=0.374), fluid overload (χ(2)=0.014, P=0.905), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (χ(2)=2.972, P=0.085), acidosis (χ(2)=3.204, P=0.073), hyperkalemia (χ(2)=2.829, P=0.093), the level of blood urea nitrogen (t=1.351, P=0.179) and serum creatinine (P=0.901) at the beginning of RRT. In the unfavorable outcome group, the proportion of patients with mechanical ventilation (45.0% (9/20) vs. 12.3% (14/114), χ(2)=12.811, P<0.01) and the incidence of extra organ injury (≥3) (30.0% (6/20) vs. 10.5% (12/114), χ(2)=6.365, P=0.041) were higher than those in the favorable outcome group. Logistic regression analysis showed that mechanical ventilation (OR=12.540, 95%CI: 3.376-46.577, P<0.01) and hyperkalemia (OR=4.611, 95%CI: 1.265-16.805, P=0.021) were the predictive factors of poor prognosis in patients with AKI treated with RRT. Conclusion: Mechanical ventilation and hyperkalemia may predict a poor prognosis in AKI patients treated with RRT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and aesthetic results when comparing two cosmetic approaches that were employed in parotidectomy according to the tumour location with the traditional Blair approach. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary Referral Centre. PATIENTS Seventy-six patients were included in the study. RESULTS The degree of satisfaction with the cosmetic incision approach was significantly higher than that with the traditional Blair approach. The incidence of transient facial paralysis and salivary fistula were not statistically significant when compared with those in the traditional incision in 6-month follow-up post-operatively. DISCUSSION Conventional parotidectomy using the traditional Blair incision (or its modification) usually leaves a visible scar in this region, which can have major adverse impacts on the social or psychological well-being of an individual. To achieve better aesthetic results, according to the location of the benign parotid tumour, two formal cosmetic approach incisions could be performed in parotidectomy, which was superior to the traditional Blair incision. The authors propose that these two cosmetic approaches for parotidectomy can be both technically feasible and safe.

Acetylation is an important, reversible posttranslational modification to a protein. In a previous study, we found that there were a large number of acetylated sites in various nutrient storage proteins of the silkworm haemolymph. In this study, we confirmed that acetylation can affect the stability of nutrient storage protein Bombyx mori apolipophorin-III (BmApoLp-III). First, the expression of BmApoLp-III could be upregulated when BmN cells were treated with the deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat (LBH589); similarly, the expression was downregulated when the cells were treated with the acetylase inhibitor C646. Furthermore, the increase in acetylation by LBH589 could inhibit the degradation and improve the accumulation of BmApoLp-III in BmN cells treated with cycloheximide and MG132 respectively. Moreover, we found that an increase in acetylation could decrease the ubiquitination of BmApoLp-III and vice versa; therefore, we predicted that acetylation could improve the stability of BmApoLp-III by competing for ubiquitination and inhibiting the protein degradation pathway mediated by ubiquitin. Additionally, BmApoLp-III had an antiapoptosis function that increased after LBH589 treatment, which might have been due to the improved protein stability after acetylation. These results have laid the foundation for further study on the mechanism of acetylation in regulating the storage and utilization of silkworm nutrition.

Abstract
Over the years, ad-hoc procedures were used for designing SNP arrays, but the procedures and strategies varied considerably case by case. Recently, a multiple-objective, local optimization (MOLO) algorithm was proposed to select SNPs for SNP arrays, which maximizes the adjusted SNP information (E score) under multiple constraints, e.g. on MAF, uniformness of SNP locations (U score), the inclusion of obligatory SNPs and the number and size of gaps. In the MOLO, each chromosome is split into equally spaced segments and local optima are selected as the SNPs having the highest adjusted E score within each segment, conditional on the presence of obligatory SNPs. The computation of the adjusted E score, however, is empirical, and it does not scale well between the uniformness of SNP locations and SNP informativeness. In addition, the MOLO objective function does not accommodate the selection of uniformly distributed SNPs. In the present study, we proposed a unified local function for optimally selecting SNPs, as an amendment to the MOLO algorithm. This new local function takes scalable weights between the uniformness and informativeness of SNPs, which allows the selection of SNPs under varied scenarios. The results showed that the weighting between the U and the E scores led to a higher imputation concordance rate than the U score or E score alone. The results from the evaluation of six commercial bovine SNP chips further confirmed this conclusion.

Abstract
Few studies focused on the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). This study was to evaluate the impact of HBV infection on the treatment outcome and survival of cHL patients. Clinical data of 352 cHL patients treated with ABVD regimen (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vincristine and dacarbazine) between January 2002 and January 2018 were retrospectively collected. According to HBV infection status, the patients were divided into three groups: with HBV infection [hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive], with past HBV infection [HBsAg-negative but anti-hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc)-positive], and without HBV infection (HBsAg-negative and anti-HBc-negative). The incidence of HBV infection and past HBV infection in cHL patients were 7.4% (26/352) and 16.5% (58/352), respectively. The median age of patients without HBV infection was lower than those in other two groups (p<0.001). The complete remission rates after first-line therapy were different among 3 groups (65.4% for the group with HBV infection, 87.9% for the group with past HBV infection, and 76.1% for the group without HBV infection, respectively, p=0.049). After a median follow-up of 34.6 months, the 3-year progression-free survival rates for the three groups were 69%, 74% and 80%, respectively (p=0.566) and the 3-year overall survival rates were 72%, 91% and 87%, respectively (p=0.096). No HBV reactivation was observed during chemotherapy among 3 groups, but 1 patient in the group with HBV infection experienced delayed HBV reactivation when prophylactic entecavir was discontinued 12 months after the last cycle of chemotherapy. HBV infection status did not affect the clinical outcome and prognosis of cHL patients, especially in the era of prophylactic antiviral therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA URHC on the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of colorectal cancer cells. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of lncRNA-URHC in tissues and cells was tested by Real-time quantitative PCR. The expression of lncRNA-URHC was down-regulated by RNA interference (siRNA). The Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was used to detect the interference efficiency. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, and transwell were used to detect the effect of lncRNA-URHC on the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of colorectal cancer cells. The effect of lncRNA-URHC on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers was detected by Western blot. RESULTS LncRNA-URHC expression was significantly increased in colorectal cancer cells compared with normal cells, and the expression of lncRNA-URHC in colorectal cancer cells was higher than that in the normal cell. After down-regulated the expression of lncRNA-URHC, the proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer cells were decreased, while cells apoptosis was promoted. Down-regulation of lncRNA-URHC could enhance the expression of E-cadherin and reduce the expression of N-cadherin, vimentin and snail. CONCLUSIONS Down-regulation of lncRNA-URHC can inhibit the progression of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The economic and clinical benefits of laparoscopic colorectal surgery are proven, yet may be underutilized in appropriate cases, especially in the elderly. Since the elderly constitute the greatest colorectal surgical volume, our goal was to identify trends in utilization and impact of laparoscopy in this cohort. METHODS A national review of elective inpatient colorectal resections from the Premier Inpatient Database between 2010 and 2015 was performed. Patients were included if elderly (≥ 65 years), then grouped into open or laparoscopic procedures. The main outcome measures were trends in utilization by approach and total costs for the episode of care, length of stay (LOS), readmission, and complications by approach in the elderly. Multivariable regression models controlled for differences across platforms, adjusting for patient demographic, comorbidities and hospital characteristics. RESULTS In 70,655 elderly patients evaluated, laparoscopic adoption remained lower than open throughout the study period. Rates increased until 2013, then declined, with increasing rates of open surgery. Laparoscopy was associated with significantly lower mean total costs ($4012 less/case), complications and readmissions (36% and 33% less, respectively), and shorter LOS (2.6 less days) than open cases (all p < 0.0001). When complications occurred, they were less severe and the readmission episodes were less costly with laparoscopy than open colorectal surgery. CONCLUSION The adoption of laparoscopy in the elderly has lagged behind open surgery and even declined in recent years despite being associated with improved clinical outcomes and reduced cost. With this tremendous value proposition to increase use of laparoscopic surgery in the elderly, further work needs to evaluate root causes of the disparity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Oxidative stress contributes to adverse atrial remodeling in diabetes mellitus. This can be prevented by the PPAR-γ agonist pioglitazone through its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Purpose
In this study, the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects were investigated.
Methods
Rabbits were randomly divided into control (C), diabetic (DM), and pioglitazone-treated DM (Pio) groups. Echocardiographic, hemodynamic, electrophysiological, intracellular Ca2+ properties were measured. Serum PPAR-γ levels, serum and tissue oxidative stress and inflammatory markers, mitochondrial morphology, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production rate, respiratory function, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) levels were measured. Protein expression of pro-fibrotic marker transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), and the mitochondrial proteins (PGC-1α, fission and fusion-related proteins) were measured.
Results
Compared with controls, the DM group demonstrated larger left atrial diameter and fibrosis area associated with a higher incidence of inducible AF. Lower serum PPAR-γ level was associated with lower PGC-1α, higher NF-κB and higher TGF-β1 expression. Mn-SOD protein was not different but lower mitochondrial fission- and fusion-related proteins were detected. Mitochondrial swelling, higher mitochondrial ROS, lower respiratory control rate, lower MMP and higher intracellular Ca2+ transients were observed. In the Pio group, reversal of structural remodeling and lower inducible AF incidence were associated with higher PPAR-γ and PGC-1α. NF-κB and TGF-β1 were lower and biogenesis, fission and fusion-related protein were higher. Mitochondrial structure and function, and intracellular Ca2+ transients were improved. In HL-1 cell line, transfected with PGC-1α siRNA blunted the effect of pioglitazone on Mn-SOD protein expression and MMP collapse in H2O2-treated cells.
Conclusion
Diabetes mellitus induces adverse atrial structural and electrophysiological remodeling, abnormal Ca2+ handling and mitochondrial damage and dysfunction. Pioglitazone prevented these abnormalities through the PPAR-γ/PGC-1α pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is known that there are insufficient prognostic factors for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It was reported that PD-L1 was a prognostic factor for NSCLC,and c-Myc regulated the expression of PD-L1. Herein, we investigated c-Myc and PD-L1 expression and their association with overall survival (OS) in NSCLC. METHODS Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens were obtained from 128 patients with surgically resected primary NSCLC. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression of PD-L1 and c-Myc in this study. Pearson's Chi squared test or Fisher's exact test was used to analyze the correlation of the expression of PD-L1 and c-Myc with clinicopathologic features. The relationship between OS and the expression of PD-L1 and c-Myc was evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model, respectively. RESULTS Positive expression of PD-L1 was detected in 59 patients (46.1%). Patients with negative expression of PD-L1 had remarkably longer OS than those with positive expression of PD-L1. The positive expression rate of c-Myc in NSCLC accounted for 58.6% (75/128) and its expression was significantly more frequent in males (p = 0.002) and patients with lymph node metastasis (p = 0.029). PD-L1 expression was positively correlated with c-Myc expression (r = 0.459, p < 0.001). The PD-L1 and c-Myc double-positive group had a worse prognosis than other subgroups (p < 0.05), and the PD-L1 and c-Myc double-negative group had a better OS than other subgroups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Conjoint analysis of the expression of PD-L1 and c-Myc was a better prognostic approach for NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug-coated balloons (DCB) for de novo large coronary vessels. Methods: One hundred and two patients were retrospectively enrolled in this study, there were 104 lesions with the reference lumen diameter of target vessel more than 2.8 mm and patients were treated with DCB in de novo lesions during May 2015 and July 2017 in our center. Coronary artery angiography and quantitative coronary angiography were performed in 82 (80.4%) patients at follow up period ((8.1±1.7) months post procedure). The endpoints were late lumen loss (LLL) at follow up,and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), target lesion revascularization (TLR) and stent or target lesion thrombosis at 12 months post procedure. Results: Ninety-eight lesions were treated with DCB only, 6 (5.9%) bailout drug-eluting stent (DES) were used because of severe coronary dissection, 2 patients (2.0%) received revascularization driven by acute ischemic events during hospitalization. Cutting balloons and NSE balloons were used in 65.4% (68/104) and 26.0% (27/104) lesions. The lesion length was (12.57±3.58) mm and the DCB length was (19.87±4.55) mm. The late lumen loss was (0.01±0.52) mm during angiographic follow up. The TLR rate and overall MACE rate was 3.9% (4/102) and 3.9% (4/102) and there was no death,MI and target lesion thrombosis at 12 months follow up. Conclusion: DCB treatment for de novo large coronary vessels is effective and safe.

Abstract
SNP arrays are widely used in genetic research and agricultural genomics applications, and the quality of SNP genotyping data is of paramount importance. In the present study, SNP genotyping concordance and discordance were evaluated for commercial bovine SNP arrays based on two types of quality assurance (QA) samples provided by Neogen GeneSeek. The genotyping discordance rates (GDRs) between chips were on average between 0.06% and 0.37% based on the QA type I data and between 0.05% and 0.15% based on the QA type II data. The average genotyping error rate (GER) pertaining to single SNP chips, based on the QA type II data, varied between 0.02% and 0.08% per SNP and between 0.01% and 0.06% per sample. These results indicate that genotyping concordance rate was high (i.e. from 99.63% to 99.99%). Nevertheless, mitochondrial and Y chromosome SNPs had considerably elevated GDRs and GERs compared to the SNPs on the 29 autosomes and X chromosome. The majority of genotyping errors resulted from single allotyping errors, which also included the opposite instances for allele 'dropout' (i.e. from AB to AA or BB). Simultaneous allotyping errors on both alleles (e.g. mistaking AA for BB or vice versa) were relatively rare. Finally, a list of SNPs with a GER greater than 1% is provided. Interpretation of association effects of these SNPs, for example in genome-wide association studies, needs to be taken with caution. The genotyping concordance information needs to be considered in the optimal design of future bovine SNP arrays.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: To date, there is no suitable serum marker for diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer. In our early research, a new tumor marker candidate of breast cancer whose molecular weight was 5.6 kDa was screened from serum using mass spectrometry technology. It was decoded to be a fragment of isoform alpha of lamina-associated polypeptide 2 (LAP2α). The survival analysis revealed that LAP2α was over-expressed in breast cancer patients and indicated poor prognosis.
Materials and Methods: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was utilized to evaluate LAP2α expression in paired primary breast tumor, metastasis of axillary lymph node and ipsilateral normal breast tissue of 29 breast cancer patients. An inhibition plasmid vector of LAP2α-small hairpin RNA (LAP2α-shRNA) was constructed and transfected into MCF-7 cells. The abilities of cell proliferation and metastasis were assessed both in vitro and in vivo. The association of LAP2α with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was determined by western blot.
Results: LAP2α expression of paired tissue descended in order of metastasis of axillary lymph node (21/29, 72.4%), primary breast tumor (11/29, 37.9%) and ipsilateral normal breast tissue (4/29, 13.8%) (P<0.05 in comparisons between each two groups). CCK-8 experiments on transfected and control cells showed that inhibition of LAP2α could not influence cell proliferation. Transwell and matrigel-transwell assays indicated that inhibition of LAP2α could significantly reduce cell migration and invasion abilities. In vivo experiments utilizing subcutaneous xenograft model and tail vein-injection mouse model revealed that the down-regulation of LAP2α might suppress tumorigenesis and metastasis of breast cancer. Western blot suggested that down regulation of LAP2α increased the E-cadherin expression level but repressed N-cadherin and vimentin expression levels.
Conclusions: A novel tumor marker candidate, LAP2α is related to metastasis of breast cancer both in clinical samples and tissue culture experiments. Inhibition of LAP2α could suppress aggressiveness and metastasis of breast cancer probably via EMT suppression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Preoperative axillary ultrasound (AUS) offers the potential to identify clinically axillary negative patients with axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis directly to axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) with avoid of unnecessary sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) except Z0011 candidates. Which biopsy should be preferred is pendent with lack of enough prospective studies. The purpose of our study was to compare the accuracy of ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core needle biopsy (CNB) for the designated ALN prospectively.
Methods:
Consecutive patients with histologically confirmed breast cancer from April, 2010 to December, 2014 were preliminary screened for our study. All the candidate patients were prospectively assessed by ipsilateral AUS before initial treatment regardless of clinical ALN status.Abnormal lymph nodes were characterized by round shape with uniform or eccentric thickening, focal bulging or irregularity of the cortex displacement, obliteration of the hilum; or total loss of recognizable lymph node architecture. If suspicious ALN was identified, both ultrasound-guided FNAC and CNB were performed for the same designated ALN.The diameter in longitudinal section, transverse section and maximum cortical thickness of the target node was recorded. When more than one abnormal lymph node was present, the most abnormal-appearing node was sampled. The target tissue for biopsy was hypoechoic thickened cortex. Patients with a positive FNAC/CNB underwent ALND, and those with a negative FNAC and CNB biopsy or without suspicious ALN by AUS underwent SLNB. The paired parameters of FNAC and CNB were compared using McNemar's exact test.
Results:
705 consecutive patients were screened and 558 patients (561 axillae) underwent AUS evaluation with confirmed ALN pathological results.145 patients (146 axillae) with both FNAC and CNB were finally enrolled. Final histopathological results showed that 83.6% (122/146) were node positive (5 micro-metastases were considered negative). Sensitivity of FNAC and CNB was 67.2% (82/122) and 91.8% (112/122). Overall accuracy of FNAC and CNB was 72.6% (106/146) and 93.2% (136/146). Negative predictive value (NPV) of FNAC and CNB was 37.5% (24/64) and 70.6% (24/34). There was significant difference in sensitivity, overall accuracy and NPV between FNAC and CNB (p<0.001). 80.6% (29/36) FNAC negative and CNB positive patients have ALN cortical thickness of 3.3-7.2 mm.
Conclusion:
CNB is more sensitive and accurate than FNAC to stage the axilla under ultrasound guidance in operable breast cancer patients, especially in patients with ALN cortical thickness of 3.3-7.2 mm.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to establish a predictive in vitro method for assessing the photoprotective properties of sunscreens using a reconstructed full-thickness skin model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A full-thickness skin model reconstructed with human fibroblasts and keratinocytes isolated from Chinese skin was exposed to daily UV radiation (DUVR). We examined the transcriptomic response, identifying genes for which expression was modulated by DUVR in a dose-dependent manner. We then validated the methodology for efficacy evaluation of different sunscreens formulas. RESULTS The reconstructed skin model was histologically consistent with human skin, and upon DUVR exposure, the constituent fibroblasts and keratinocytes exhibited transcriptomic alterations in pathways associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and extracellular matrix remodelling. When used to evaluate sunscreen protection on the model, the observed level of protection from UV-induced gene expression was consistent with the corresponding protection factors determined clinically and allowed for statistical ranking of sunscreen efficacy. CONCLUSIONS Within this study we show that quantification of gene modulation within the reconstructed skin model is a biologically relevant approach with sensitivity and predictability to evaluate photoprotection products.

Abstract
Objective To compare the therapeutic effects of ultrasound-guided and non-guided catheter-directed thrombolysis in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity. Methods From August 2015 to April 2016, 60 patients with lower extremity deep venous thrombosis were randomly divided into two groups ( n = 30 for each) to receive catheter-directed thrombolysis. Group A was treated under the ultrasound guidance, while Group B was treated without guidance. Results Catheter-directed thrombolysis was successfully performed by only one intubate in Group A but by 5.9 intubates in Group B. It took 15.4 ± 3.2 min in Group A, significantly less than that in Group B (30.8 ± 6.6 min, p < 0.05). The incidences of hematoma were also remarkably different between the two groups (3.33% vs. 26.67%, p = 0.026). No pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula was found in Group A, but there were two cases of pseudoaneurysm and two cases of arteriovenous fistula in Group B (both 6.67%, p = 0.492). The circumference differences of the affected limb between before and after thrombolysis were 49.47 ± 2.484 mm in Group A, significantly higher than that in Group B (28.40 ± 2.856 mm, p < 0.001). After treatment, the venous unobstructed improvement rates and deep vein patency rate were both better than those in Group B (77 + 2.603% vs. 57.23 + 1.828% and 80% vs. 46.67%, respectively; p < 0.001). There were only three cases of PTS in Group A (10%, 3/30), but there were 11 cases in Group B (36.67%, 11/30). Conclusion Ultrasound-guided catheter-directed thrombolysis has advantages, with improvement of venous patency and decrease of the incidence of PTS.

Abstract
1. During the long history of chicken domestication, eyelid colour, like skin colour and shank colour, has been one of the physical traits of Chinese indigenous chickens that influence consumer buying behaviour. In China, the Lindian chicken, which has coloured feathers, is renowned for the appetizing flavour of its meat and eggs, and its eyelid colours vary from deep (black) to light shades (light yellow). 2. To investigate genes involved in eyelid colour, the expression profiles of black and light-yellow eyelids of Lindian chickens were analysed with transcriptome sequencing. 3. A total of 13 466 genes were detected in the eyelids, among which 14 were differentially expressed. Among these differentially expressed genes (DEGs), three key genes, premelanosome protein (PMEL), dopachrome tautomerase (DCT), and tyrosinase (TYR), encoded proteins that positively regulate melanogenesis and melanin deposition. PMEL, DCT and TYR were expressed much more strongly in the black eyelids than in the light-yellow eyelids. A Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that tyrosine metabolism and melanogenesis genes were significantly enriched among these DEGs (corrected P < 0.05). 4. In conclusion, melanin may be one of the main factors involved in Lindian chicken eyelid colour. Furthermore, these results provide a valuable resource for the future study of the physical traits of Lindian chicken.

Abstract
Aim To investigate the efficacy and safety of dendritic cell (DC) vaccine combined with cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cell therapy in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Patients and methods PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched systematically for clinical trials of DC vaccine and CIK cell therapy combined with chemotherapy for CRC. The primary and secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), respectively. Pooled risk ratios were used to assess the treatment efficacy. Both random and fixed effects models were used for statistical analysis. The study population consisted of 871 CRC patients enrolled in four trials. Results OS and DFS were significantly improved in patients who received chemotherapy combined with DC vaccine and CIK cells, and no severe adverse events were shown. Conclusions The study demonstrated that the addition of DC vaccine and CIK cell therapy to chemotherapy is feasible and effective in patients with CRC.
