  • Expression of long non-coding RNA GAS5 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and its clinical significance

    ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) mRNA and its clinical significance in hepatocellular carcinoma.MethodsThe expression of GAS5 mRNA in the hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and corresponding adjacent tissues were detected by real time-PCR. The relationship between the expression of GAS5 mRNA and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 software.ResultsThe expression of GAS5 mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues was significantly lower than that of the adjacent tissues (P<0.01). The expression of GAS5 mRNA was related to tumor size, tumor number, lymph node metastasis, clinical TNM stage, alpha fetoprotein level, and tumor differentiation (P<0.05). Cox hazard model results showed that low expression of GAS5 mRNA was associated with poor prognosis (P<0.05).ConclusionGAS5 mRNA is expected to be a diagnostic and prognostic marker for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

  • Research status of lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot

    Lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots are used to improve or restore the walking and movement ability of people with lower limb movement disorders. However, the required functions for patients differ based on various diseases. For example, patients with weak muscle strength require power assistance, patients with spinal cord injuries require motion compensation, patients with gait abnormalities require gait correction, and patients with strokes require neural rehabilitation. To design a more targeted lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot for different diseases, this article summarised and compared existing lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots according to their main functions and the characteristics and rehabilitation needs of various lower limb movement disorders. The correlations between the functions of existing devices and diseases were summarised to provide certain references for the development of new lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots.

    Objective To calculate the recovery rate and enrichment factor and to analyse the correlation by measuring the concentrations of platelets, leukocyte, and growth factors in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) so as to evaluate the feasibil ity and stabil ity of a set of PRP preparation. Methods The peripheral blood (40 mL) was collected from 30 volunteers accorded with the inclusion criteria, and then 4 mL PRP was prepared using the package produced by Shandong Weigao Group Medical Polymer Company Limited. Automatic hematology analyzer was used to count the concentrations of platelets and leukocyte in whole blood and PRP. The enrichment factor and recovery rate of platelets or leukocyte were calculated; the platelet and leukocyte concentrations of male and female volunteers were measured, respectively. The concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and vascular endothel ial growth factor (VEGF) were assayed by ELISA. Results The platelet concentrations of whole blood and PRP were (131.40 ± 29.44) × 109/L and (819.47 ± 136.32) × 109/L, respectively, showing significant difference (t=—27.020, P=0.000). The recovery rate of platelets was 60.85% ± 8.97%, and the enrichment factor was 6.40 ± 1.06. The leukocyte concentrations of whole blood and PRP were (5.57 ± 1.91) × 1012/L and (32.20 ± 10.42) × 1012/L, respectively, showing significant difference (t=—13.780, P=0.000). The recovery rate of leukocyte was 58.30% ± 19.24%, and the enrichment factor was 6.10 ± 1.93. The concentrations of platelets and leukocyte in PRP were positively correlated with the platelet concentration (r=0.652, P=0.000) and leukocyte concentration (r=0.460, P=0.011) in whole blood. The concentrations of platelet and leukocyte in PRP between male and female were not significantly different (P gt; 0.05). The concentrations of PDGF, TGF-β, and VEGF in PRP were (698.15 ± 64.48), (681.36 ± 65.90), and (1 071.55 ± 106.04) ng/ mL,which were (5.67 ± 1.18), (6.99 ± 0.61), and (5.74 ± 0.83) times higher than those in the whole blood, respectively. PDGF concentration (r=0.832, P=0.020), TGF-β concentration (r=0.835, P=0.019), and VEGF concentration (r=0.824, P=0.023) in PRP were positively correlated with platelet concentration of PRP. Conclusion PRP with high concentrations of platelets, white blood cells and growth factors can be prepared stably by this package.

  • Anatomic characteristics of left pulmonary lingual segment artery analyzed by CT three-dimensional reconstruction

    ObjectiveTo further understand the anatomical characteristics and rules of left upper lingual pulmonary artery.MethodsCT data of 120 patients (82 males, 38 females, median age of 65 years ranging 36-78 years) with pulmonary nodules from December 2018 to August 2020 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The anatomic characteristics of the lingual segment of the upper left lung were analyzed by three-dimensional reconstruction. ResultsMediastinal lingual artery appeared in 34 of the 120 patients, accounting for 28.4%. There were 26 patientsof mixed mediastinal/interlobar type, 8 patients of pure mediastinal lingual artery, and 92.3% (24/26) mixed mediastinal/interlobar type blood vessel contained A4b. Fifty-eight (58/120, 48.3%) patients had interlobar type A4+5 type, the rest were two-branches type. And 22 patients of A4 and A5 type accounted for the most two-branches type (22/28, 78.6%). The single-branch type was located at the distal end of A6 in 54 (54/58, 93.1%) patients, originated from the proximal end of A6 in 4 patients, and originated from the basilar artery in 6 patients. The two-branches type was at the distal end of A6 accounting for 50.0% (14/28).ConclusionMediastinal lingual artery is more common than expected, accounting for 28.4%, among which mixed lingual artery is more prevalent, usually located in the first pulmonary trunk, and mostly follows the principle of proximity to supply relevant lung tissues. The location of the interlobar branches in the pulmonary trunk can be at the distal or proximal end of A6, care should be taken to avoid damaging adjacent structures.

  • Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Interleukin-10 Gene with Asthma

    Objective To explore whether interleukin-10 ( IL-10 ) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms are associated with asthma. Methods The frequency of three single nucleotide polymorphisms ( rs1800896, rs3024492, and rs3024496) and haplotypes of IL-10 gene were analysed in 302 adult asthmatic subjects and 275 controls of Han Chinese in Guangzhou using MALDI-TOF-MS and MassARRAY-IPLEX. The genotype and allele frequencies were analyzed by Chi-square test in both groups.Logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age and sex was conducted. Odds ratio ( OR) and 95%confidence interval ( 95% CI) were calculated to analyze the associations between the susceptibility of asthma and genotypes. Results ①Three genotypes GG, GA, and AA of rs1800896 were found in Han Chinese inGuangzhou. The frequencies of GG, GA, and AA genotypes were 2. 12% , 39. 65% , and 58. 23% ,respectively. The relative risk of developing asthma in the carriers of GA was significantly higher than that in the carriers of AA ( OR=4. 827, P lt;0. 001) . ②Two genotypes AA and AT of rs3024492 were found in Han Chinese in Guangzhou. The frequencies of AA and AT genotypes were 1. 22% and 98. 78% , respectively.The rs3024492 polymorphism was not related to susceptibility in asthma. ③Two genotypes TT and CT of rs3024496 were found in Han Chinese in Guangzhou. The frequencies of TT and CT genotypes were 90. 59% and 9. 41% , respectively. The rs3024496 polymorphism was not related to susceptibility in asthma. Conclusion In IL-10 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs1800896 but not rs3024492 and rs3024496 isstatistically related with the development of asthma.
