摘要：
BACKGROUND: Adherence to follow-up is vital for the medical surveillance of the postoperative blood concentration, but relatively little research has examined it, and there is less study on relationships between adherence to follow-up and quality of life (QoL). We investigated the status of adherence to follow-up and QoL and associated factors among kidney transplantation recipients in China. METHODS: A cross-sectional study with the use of a Kidney Transplantation Recipient's Adherence to Follow-Up Questionnaire and a Quality of Life of Kidney Transplantation Recipients Questionnaire was conducted among 250 kidney transplantation recipients in Changsha, China, from January to March in 2015. RESULTS: The mean score for adherence to follow-up was 54.71 +/- 6.46. Time after transplantation was the only factor affecting adherence to follow-up scores (beta = -0.210; P < .05). The mean total score for QoL was 140.39 +/- 13.56; physical functioning, 23.72 +/- 3.33; psychologic functioning, 24.46 +/- 4.23; social functioning, 44.43 +/- 6.80; treatment, 24.81 +/- 2.97; and subjective satisfaction, 21.28 +/- 3.15. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that adherence to follow-up, economic level, job status, donor source, and original disease affected with QoL. CONCLUSIONS: Adherence to follow-up decreases with time after transplantation, and better compliance is associated with better QoL in all areas. Improvements in adherence to follow-up, income and reimbursement, psychologic guidance, and social support may increase QoL of kidney transplantat recipients.

摘要：
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) is one of the major pre-mRNA-binding proteins, that is involved in translational modifications. In our previous studies, we found that hnRNP K is associated with human gastric cancer. The protein levels of hnRNP K were detected in cell lines and tissue microarrays. The correlation between hnRNP K expression and patient survival rate was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. In addition, we also detected hnRNP K expression in preoperative and postoperative serum samples from patients with gastric cancer, and serum samples from healthy volunteers. We found that hnRNP K was overexpressed in the gastric cancer cell lines. The levels of hnRNP K were significantly elevated in the gastric cancer tissues compared with that noted in the tumor-adjacent gastric mucosal and normal gastric mucosal sampes, and hnRNP K expression was found to correlate with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis. However, the level of serum hnRNP K did not differ significantly between gastric cancer patients and healthy volunteers. We also found that patients whose tumors showed elevated expression of hnRNP K had poor survival. The present study suggests that hnRNP K is a promising tissue biomarker for diagnosing gastric cancer and is a prognostic indicator for patients with gastric cancer.

摘要：
We found that selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1) was progressively decreased in the human bronchial epithelial carcinogenic processes. Knockdown of SBP1 in immortalized human bronchial epithelial cell line 16HBE cells significantly increased the efficiency of B[a]P-induced cell transformation. However, the relationship between SBP1 expression and clinicopathological factors of patients has not been defined completely. The specific role of SBP1 in prognosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is still unknown. Tissue samples from 82 patients treated by pulmonary lobectomy for LSCC were used. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were used to detect the expressions of SBP1 protein. The relationships between the expression level of SBP1 and the clinicopathological features of patients were analyzed. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis and Kaplan–Meier method were used to perform survival analysis. Expressions of SBP1 proteins were significantly lower in LSCC tissues than that in the corresponding normal bronchial epithelium (NBE) tissues (P = 0.000). In LSCC, The expression levels of SBP1 had not correlated with patients’ age, gender, smoking state, primary tumor stages (T), TNM clinical stages, and distant metastasis (M) (P > 0.05). However, downregulation of SBP1 was significantly associated with higher lymph node metastasis and lower overall survival rate (P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis indicated low expressions of SBP1 can be an independent prognostic factor for poor overall survival in LSCC patients (P = 0.002). Downregulation of SBP1 may play a key role in the tumorigenic process of LSCC. SBP1 may be a novel potential prognostic factor of LSCC.
摘要：
Recent studies have suggested that miR-590 may play critical roles in cardiovascular disease. This study was designed to determine the effects of miR-590 on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) expression and development of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE(-/-)) mice and explore the potential mechanisms. En face analysis of the whole aorta revealed that miR-590 significantly decreased aortic atherosclerotic plaque size and lipid content in apoE (-/-) mice. Double immunofluorescence staining in cross-sections of the proximal aorta showed that miR-590 agomir reduced CD68 and LPL expression in macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions. MiR-590 agomir down-regulated LPL mRNA and protein expression as analyzed by RT-qPCR and western blotting analyses, respectively. Consistently, miR-590 decreased the expression of CD36 and scavenger receptor A1 (SRA1) mRNA and protein. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis confirmed that treatment with miR-590 agomir reduced lipid levels either in plasma orinabdominal cavity macrophages of apoE(-/-) mice. ELISA analysis showed that miR-590 agomir decreased plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). In contrast, treatment with miR-590 antagomir prevented or reversed these effects. Taken together, these results reveal a novel mechanism of miR-590 effects, and may provide new insights into the development of strategies for attenuating lipid accumulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion.
摘要：
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has a highly increased incidence rate (20/100,000) in Southern regions of China, while being rare in the rest of the world. NPC is a malignant type of cancer due to its high occurrence rate of metastasis; however, biomarkers for effective diagnosis and treatment are yet to be identified. Annexin A1 is a glucocorticoid-regulated member of a large superfamily of calcium and phospholipid-binding proteins and has been shown to have important roles in tumor development and progression, and was demonstrated to be a prognostic biomarker for head and neck cancer types. A previous study by our group showed that Annexin A1 was decreased in NPC tissue as compared with normal adjacent tissue. To investigate whether Annexin A1 is a potential biomarker for NPC, the present study assessed the effect of the Annexin A1 on the biological behavior (i.e., invasion and metastasis) of the highly metastatic NPC cell line 5-8F and the non-metastatic NPC cell line 6-10B. The expression levels of Annexin Al in the above two cell lines were determined by western blot analysis. Next, the recombinant plasmid pEGFP-C1-Annexin Al and the small interfering (si) RNA plasmid pRNAT-U6.1-Annexin Al were used and stably transfected into 5-8F and 6-10B cells, respectively. These established recombinant cell lines were then used to study the up- and downregulation of Annexin Al, respectively. The correlation of Annexin Al expression levels with the biological behavior of NPC cell lines was analyzed using a cell proliferation assay, flow cytometry, soft agar colony formation assay, as well as Transwell invasion and migration assays. The results demonstrated that upregulation of Annexin Al suppressed the proliferation, invasion and migration of NPC cells, while downregulation of Annexin Al promoted the proliferation, invasion and migration of NPC cells. These findings suggested that Annexin Al may be a potential biomarker for the development and prognosis of NPC, and its dysregulation may have an important role in its underlying pathogenesis.
摘要：
Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNA-590 (miR-590) has protective effects on cardiovascular diseases, but the mechanism is unknown. Interestingly, previous studies from our laboratory and others have shown that macrophage-derived lipoprotein lipase (LPL) might accelerate atherosclerosis by promoting lipid accumulation and inflammatory response. However, the regulation of LPL at the post-transcriptional level by microRNAs has not been fully understood. In this study, we explored whether miR-590 affects the expression of LPL and its potential subsequent effects on lipid accumulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in human THP-1 macrophages. Methods and results: Using bioinformatics analyses and dual-luciferase reporter assays, we found that miR-590 directly inhibited LPL protein and mRNA expression by targeting LPL 3'UTR. LPL Activity Assays showed that miR-590 reduced LPL activity in the culture media. Oil Red 0 staining and high-performance liquid chromatography assays showed that miR-590 had inhibitory effects on the lipid accumulation in human THP-1 macrophages. We also illustrated that miR-590 alleviated pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in human THP-1 macrophages as measured by ELISA. With the method of small interfering RNA, we found that LPL siRNA can inhibit the miR-590 inhibitor-induced increase in lipid accumulation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in oxLDL-treated human THP-1 macrophages. Conclusions: MiR-590 attenuates lipid accumulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion by targeting LPL gene in human THP-1 macrophages. Therefore, targeting miR-590 may offer a promising strategy to treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

摘要：
OBJECTIVE: To investigate awareness and knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among high school students and to provide a basis for health education on HPV infection for high school students in China. STUDY DESIGN: A ques- awareness of tionnaire on HPV awareness and knowledge was adminis- provide the tered to 900 high school students in Xiangtan City of Hunan Province in China by layer cluster sampling. A total of 848 anonymous valid questionnaires were received from volunteers who cornpleted the questionnaire correctly. RESULTS: Only 10.1% had heard of HPV, and of those only 18.6% knew that HPV could lead to cervical cancer. Single factor analysis indicated that home address, age, grade, academic achievement, sex history, gender, father's education level and mother's education level were impact factors for HPV knowledge of high school students. Multiple regression analysis showed 4 independent risk factors associated with HPV knowledge: academic achievement, sex history, gender, and mother's education level. The limited knowledge came primarily frorri television and radio broadcasts (59.3%), the Internet (57.0%), parents (25.6%), medical workers (20.9%), and teachers (18.6%). CONCLUSION: High school students lack HPV people's knowledge, which is affectand CC can ed by multiple factors. Targeted health education of for targeted all sorts must be provided. Both schools and families are responsible for reinforcing HPV education provided to high school students.
摘要：
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipid metabolism and responsible for catalyzing lipolysis of triglycerides in lipoproteins. LPL is produced mainly in adipose tissue, skeletal and heart muscle, as well as in macrophage and other tissues. After synthesized, it is secreted and translocated to the vascular lumen. LPL expression and activity are regulated by a variety of factors, such as transcription factors, interactive proteins and nutritional state through complicated mechanisms. LPL with different distributions may exert distinct functions and have diverse roles in human health and disease with close association with atherosclerosis. It may pose a pro-atherogenic or an anti-atherogenic effect depending on its locations. In this review, we will discuss its gene, protein, synthesis, transportation and biological functions, and then focus on its regulation and relationship with atherosclerosis and potential underlying mechanisms. The goal of this review is to provide basic information and novel insight for further studies and therapeutic targets. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
摘要：
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is critical in exporting cholesterol from macrophages and plays a protective role in the development of atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid, on ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux, and to further determine the underlying mechanism. BA promoted ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux, decreased cellular cholesterol and cholesterol ester content in LPS-treated macrophages. Furthermore, we found that BA promoted ABCA1 expression via down-regulation of miR-33s. The inhibition of LPS-induced NF-kappa B activation further decreased miR-33s expression and enhanced ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux when compared with BA only treatment. In addition, BA suppressed I kappa B phosphorylation, p65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, and the transcription of NF-kappa B-dependent related gene. Moreover, BA reduced atherosclerotic lesion size, miR-33s levels and NF-kappa B activation, and promoted ABCA1 expression in apoE(-/-) mice. Taken together, these results reveal a novel mechanism for the BA-mediated ABCA1 expression, which may provide new insights for developing strategies for modulating vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis.
摘要：
To discover novel lung adenocarcinoma (AdC) biomarkers, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-tagging combined with 2D-LC-MS/MS analysis was used to identify differentially expressed plasma membrane proteins in lung AdC and paired paraneoplastic normal lung tissues (PNLTs) adjacent to tumors. In this study, significant caveolin-1 downregulation and integrin β1 upregulation was observed in primary lung AdC vs. PNLT. As there has been no report on the association of integrin β1 with lung AdC, immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression of integrin β1 in an independent set of archival tissue specimens including 42 cases of PLNT, 46 cases of without lymph node metastasis primary AdC (non-LNM AdC) and 62 cases of LNM AdC; the correlation of their expression levels with clinicopathological characteristics and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Based on the data, upregulation of integrin β1 was significantly correlated with advanced clinical stage and lymph node metastasis. Integrin β1 overexpression was significantly associated with advanced clinical stage (P<0.05), lymph node metastasis (P<0.05), increased relapse rate (P<0.05) and decreased overall survival (P<0.05) in AdCs. Cox regression analysis indicated that integrin β1 overexpression is an independent prognostic factor. The data suggest that integrin β1 is a potential biomarker for LNM and prognosis of AdC and integrin β1 upregulation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AdC.
