Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the role of microRNA (miRNA, miR)-193b-5p in the process of iodine-125 particle radiotherapy for gastric cancer.   Methods   Gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 was used as the research object and iodine-125 seed in vitro irradiation model was established, and the expression profile of miRNA was detected by small molecule RNA sequencing. The expression of miR-193b-5p was analyzed by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). MiR-193b-5p knockdown cell and control cell lines (knockdown group and control group) were established in gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 by hsa-miR-193b-5p inhibitor and NC inhibitor. Cell proliferation was analyzed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay in the two groups. Cell invasion was analyzed by Transwell.   Result   Compared with the expression level of miR-193b-5p in the non-irradiated group (0.173±0.045), the expression of miR-193b-5p in the iodine-125 irradiated group (0.853±0.180) was significantly increased (t = 6.371, P < 0.05). Compared with the expression of miR-193b-5p in the control group (12.219±2.464), the expression of miR-193b-5p in the knockdown group (1.264±0.311) was significantly decreased (t = -7.640, P < 0.05). Compared with the control group (0.424±0.246), the proliferation of knockdown group (0.574±0.382)was significantly increased (t = 3.927, P < 0.05). Compared with the control group (40±7), the number of cell invasion in the knockdown group (222+23) was significantly increased (t = -13.293, P < 0.05).   Conclusion   Iodine-125 seed suppresses the proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells by regulating the expression of miR-193b-5p in the process of radiotherapy for gastric cancer.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the effect of miR-181a on chemotherapy resistance of ovarian cancer and its regulatory mechanism.   Methods  Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-181a in A2780 and cisplatin resistant cell lines (A2780/DDP), and siltation/overexpression changed the expression of miR-181a in A2780 and A2780/DDP cells. MTT method was used to determine the sensitivity of cells to cisplatin before and after the transfection. Three MicroRNA target gene databases, TargetScan, miRDB and miRwalk, were used to predict the downstream targets of miR-181a, and the changes in protein expression of target genes were analyzed by Western blot.   Results  Compared with A2780 cells, the expression of miR-181a in A2780/DDP cells was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). After the transfection of A2780 cells with miR-181a inhibitor (interfering with Mir-181A expression), the sensitivity of A2780 cells to cisplatin decreased (P < 0.05), and after the transfection of A2780/DDP cells with miR-181a mimic (overexpressing miR-181a), The sensitivity of cells to cisplatin was increased (P < 0.05). It was predicted that PRKCD could be used as the downstream target gene of miR-181a by TargetScan, miRDB and miRwalk databases, and down-regulation of miR-181a expression could significantly enhance PRKCD protein expression (P < 0.05). On the contrary, up-regulation of miR-181a significantly inhibited PRKCD protein expression (P < 0.05).   Conclusion  miR-181a may inhibit cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer cell A2780 by regulating PRKCD.

Abstract:
  Objective   To explore the mechanism of PRP promoting EnMSCs proliferation, and to provide a theoretical basis for the expansion and clinical application of EnMSCs.   Methods   EnMSCs were randomly divided into the control group, 2%PRP group and 2%PRP + LY294002 group. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 method. Cell cycle was monitored by flow cytometry and protein expressions of p-PI3K, AKT, p-AKT, mTOR and p-mTOR were detected by Western Blot.   Results   (1) CCK-8 results: Compared with the control group, the proliferation level of EnMSCs in 2%PRP group was significantly higher (P < 0.05). Compared with the 2%PRP group, the proliferation level of EnMSCs in the 2%PRP+LY294002 group was significantly lower ( P < 0.05). (2) The results of cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry showed that the proportion of cells in G2/M phase in the 2% PRP group was significantly higher than that in the control group and 2% PRP+LY294002 group, and the proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase was significantly lower than that in the control group and 2% PRP+ LY294002 group. All of these had statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05). (3) The protein expressions of p-PI3K, AKT, p-AKT, mTOR and p-mTOR in EnMSCs in the 2%PRP group were significantly higher than those in the control group and the 2%PRP+LY294002 group, with statistical significance ( P < 0.05).   Conclusion   The proliferation of EnMSCs is regulated by the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. PRP activates this pathway by promoting the protein expression and phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR, thereby promoting the proliferation of EnMSCs.

Abstract:
  Objective   To analyze the distribution and characteristics of multi-drug-resistant bacteria isolated from the clinic in a children’ s hospital, providing the clinical evidence for the prevention and treatment of multi-drug-resistant bacteria in the hospital.   Methods   A retrospective analysis method was used to collect the data of the top five multi-drug-resistant bacteria of clinically isolated pathogens from inpatients in a children’ s hospital from January 2018 to December 2020, to understand the age, sex, and department distribution in children of multi-drug resistance bacteria, and analyze the drug resistance.   Results   1451 strains of multi-drug resistant bacteria were clinically isolated in three years, and the top five were ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli, MRSA, ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, CRAB, and CRKP. The detection rates of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli, MRSA, and ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae were not statistically different in each year (P = 0.163, P = 0.125, P = 0.174), and the detection rate of CRAB first increased and then decreased ( P < 0.001), the detection rate of CRKP was decreasing year by year (P = 0.001). The majority of children with multi-drug-resistant bacteria were boys (55.4%) and infants (43.6%). The department with the highest detection rate was neurosurgery, with 9.18%, followed by burn plastic surgery, with a detection rate of 4.32%; specimen types had the highest positive rate of secretion, which was 7.06%. The main type of specimens was sputum (52.3%). The drug sensitivity results showed that the resistance rates of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli to penicillins, cefazolin and ceftriaxone were greater than 99%. The resistance rate of MRSA to penicillins was 100%, and the resistance rates to vancomycin, linezolid, tigecycline were all 0.0%. The resistance rates of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae to penicillins, cefazolin and ceftriaxone were 100.0%. In 2018, the resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii to meropenem was 16.7%, and the resistance rates to the other 13 antibacterial drugs were all 100.0%. In 2019 and 2020, The resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to nitrofurantoin, cefazolin, ampicillin were 100.0%, and the resistance rates to other antibiotics were lower than those in 2018. The resistance rates of CRKP to penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenem antibiotics were above 90.0%.  Conclusion   In recent years, the situation of multi-drug resistant bacteria in children’ s hospitals has been severe. The management of the rational use of clinical antimicrobials should be strengthened to reduce the occurrence of drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the clinical characteristics and related prognostic factors of patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma.   Methods  88 patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma who were pathologically diagnosed and admitted to Yunnan Cancer Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were studied retrospectively. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the survival status of patients, the Log-rank test was used for univariate analysis, and the Cox proportional hazard regression model was used for multivariate analysis to screen out the relevant risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma.   Results  The age range of 88 patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma: 23-79 years old, with an average age of 54.83 years old, male to female ratio: 1.44∶1. Survival analysis showed that the median survival time of patients with and without metastasis of duodenal adenocarcinoma was 14 months and 19 months respectively, the prognosis of patients with metastasis was worse than those without metastasis (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the presence or absence of metastasis, primary tumor diameter, clinical stage, chemotherapy regimens, types of chemotherapy drugs, surgical methods, Hp infection, CEA, CA199, AST/ALT, NKC, PLT, LMR were related to the prognosis of duodenal adenocarcinoma patients (P < 0.05). Cox multivariate analysis suggested that metastasis, Hp (+), CA199 > 27 U/mL were the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma (P < 0.05), and radical surgery was the duodenal Beneficial factors for the prognosis of patients with adenocarcinoma (P < 0.05).   Conclusion  The prognosis of duodenal adenocarcinoma with metastasis is extremely poor, and early close monitoring is needed. Clinically, the prognosis of patients can be predicted by four indicators of metastasis, surgical method, Hp infection, and CA199.

Abstract:
  Objectives   To investigate the dosimetric differences between TOMO and Monaco planning systems in preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer and the comparison of Gamma pass rate, so as to provide a reference for the selection of clinical treatment.  Methods   A total of 20 patients with preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer admitted from December 2019 to January 2021 were selected, TOMO and Monaco planning were performed for these 20 patients respectively. The dose-volume histogram was used to evaluate the dose distribution of the target area and the radiation dose of the organs at risk. The differences between the two planning systems in the dosimetry of the planned target area and endangering organs were analyzed and compared, and the gamma pass rates of the two schemes were compared.  Results   Both TOMO and Monaco plans could meet the prescription dose requirement of target area. The HI and CI of PGTV target of Tomo plan were better than those of Monaco planning system, and the CI of PCTV target area was also superior to that of Monaco plan system (P < 0.001). In terms of organs at risk, compared with Monaco planning system, the mean values of Dmean, V50, V40, V30 of bladder, Dmean, V30, V20, V15 of bilateral femoral head, and pelvic V50 indicators in TOMO plan were lower (P < 0.05). The execution time of Tomo’ s planning machine was 4.3 times that of Monaco’ s, and the execution time of Tomo’ s planning machine was 1.31 times that of Monaco’ s (P < 0.05). The mean Gamma pass rate of Tomo plan was higher than that of Monaco plan (P < 0.05).  Conclusion   The TOMO plan system design for preoperative radiotherapy of rectal cancer patients can significantly improve the target uniformity and conformal degree, and can also reduce the dose of normal tissues. The plan Gamma has a higher pass rate, but the treatment time is longer. The treatment time of Monaco planning system is significantly shortened.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explor the clinical characteristics and detoxification rules of the patients with COVID-19 nucleic acid positive by analyzing their clinical manifestations of throat swabs and fecal, so as to provide the evidence for the clinical diagnosis and treatment.   Methods  The clinical symptoms, laboratory indexes, and the detoxification of throat swab and faecal in 59 patients with COVID-19 infection admitted to Kunming Third People’s Hospital from February 2020 to December were retrospectively analyzed.   Result  Fecal positive group: In 7 cases of latent infection, the first pharyngeal swab nucleic acid was positive to symptomatic for 3~8 days (median 4 days), 5 cases were continuously positive and 2 cases were repeatedly positive; The stool was positive 1~28 days after the pharyngeal swab was positive (median 6 days). 5 cases were asymptomatic, 2 cases were continuously positive and 2 cases were repeatedly positive; The stool was positive 4~21 days after the pharyngeal swab was positive (median 6 days). 21 symptomatic patients were positive for pharyngeal swab for 1~21 days (median 5 days), 8 cases were continuously positive for 4~20 days, and 10 cases were repeatedly positive for 8~26 days; The stool was positive 4~29 days after the pharyngeal swab was positive (median 15 days). Fecal negative group: In 6 cases of latent infection, pharyngeal swabs were positive to symptomatic for 4~10 days (median 5 days), 2 cases were continuously positive and 2 cases were repeatedly positive; In 4 asymptomatic patients, pharyngeal swabs were continuously positive in 1 case and repeatedly positive in 1 case; In 16 symptomatic patients, the pharyngeal swab was positive for 1~16 days (median 5.5 days), 3 cases were continuously positive and 10 cases were repeatedly positive. There was significant difference in the continuous positive time of the pharyngeal swab nucleic acid between the two groups (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the repeated positive time (P > 0.05); There was significant difference in CT findings between the two groups (P < 0.05); There was no significant difference in clinical manifestations, liver function, renal function, myocardial enzymes, blood routine, CRP and T lymphocytes between the two groups (P > 0.05).  Conclusion  There is no difference in symptoms and signs, organ function injury and inflammatory indexes between the two groups. The regularity of virus detoxification is not strong, but those who detoxify with pharyngeal swabs and feces last longer than those who detoxify only with pharyngeal swabs, and pneumonia is more common.

Abstract:
Bladder cancer is one of the most common urinary tumors with the high morbidity and recurrence rate. It is of great clinical value to develop a non-invasive detection technique with the high sensitivity and specificity in vitro for the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted by many cells and play a key role in intercellular communication by delivering intracellular signaling substances (such as proteins, nucleic acids, non-coding RNAs, etc.). More and more studies have shown that exosomes-derived long non-coding RNA plays an important regulatory role in the development and progression of bladder cancer and can effectively reflect the progression and prognosis of tumors, which is expected to become a new tumor marker. Therefore, this paper reviews the research progress of exosomes-derived long non-coding RNA in the development and diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Abstract:
The intestinal microbiota plays a vital role in regulating host immunity and energy metabolism, and is related to the occurrence of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. At present, various animal models and human studies have proved that Akkermansia muciniphila (Akkermansia muciniphila/A. muciniphila) levels are negatively correlated with the occurrence of metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, obese liver disease, and atherosclerosis. A. muciniphila has broad prospects in the treatment of metabolic disorders by increasing the thickness of the intestinal mucus layer, reducing systemic inflammation, improving glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, and is considered to be a new generation of therapeutic drugs. This article systematically reviews the basic mechanism of the interaction between A. muciniphila and metabolic diseases and hosts.
