    To observe the effects of simvastatin on oxidative stress,insulin like growth factor-1 ( IGF-1)
    and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) levels in patients with endometriosis ( EMS) after operation. Methods One
    hundred and eight EMS patients diagnosed and treated in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Yan'an People's Hospi￾tal from December 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects,and were divided into the control group and
    the research group by simple randomization,with 54 patients in each group. The control group was treated with laparoscopy
    combined with Goserellin acetate sustained-release implant,while the study group was treated with simvastatin on the basis of
    the control group for 6 months. The curative effects of the two groups were compared,including Kupperman score,subjective
    feeling score ( positive sign score,pelvic symptom score,total subjective feeling score) ,serum oxidative stress indicators
    [ROS,vitamin E,superoxide dismutase ( SOD) ],IGF-1,VEGF levels before and after treatment,as well as the incidence
    and recurrence rate of adverse reactions. Results The complete remission rate in the study group was higher than that in the
    control group ( 94.44% vs.79.63%,χ2 /P= 5.252 /0.022) . After 6 months of treatment,Kupperman score,positive sign score,
    pelvic symptom score and total subjective feeling score in the study group were lower than those in the control group ( t = 5.
    683,11.073,10.155,11.797,P<0.001) . The levels of serum ROS,IGF-1 and VEGF in the study group were lower than
    those in the control group,while the levels of serum VE and SOD were higher than those in the control group ( t /P= 4.009,7.
    010,4.236,5.168,5.286,P<0.001) . There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions and recurrence
    rate between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusion Simvastatin can reduce serum IGF-1 and VEGF levels and improve oxi-
    dative stress status in patients with EMS,with significant efficacy and high safety.

    Author:Xu Lin,Wang Ru,Zhang Zhongxia,Huang Sujing,Luo Shu keyword:Preeclampsia; MicroRNAs; Nomogram; Prediction model; Diagnosis
    To explore the application value of circulating microRNAs prediction model in the early diagnosis of preeclampsia. Methods 246 pregnant women ( gestational age ≥ 20 weeks) who underwent prenatal examination in
    the Obstetrics Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College from January 2019 to June 2021 and had
    pre-eclampsia risk factors were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into eclampsia group and non-eclampsia group
    according to whether they were diagnosed with pre-eclampsia during pregnancy. The content of circulating microRNAs,soluble
    vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 ( sFlt-1) ,placental growth factor ( PlGF) and uterine artery pulsation index ( UTPI) in pregnant women of the two groups were detected,and the clinical data of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relevant factors affecting the occurrence of preeclampsia,and nomograms were used
    to build a prediction model based on the content of circulating microRNAs and verify the feasibility. The predictive efficacy of
    the receiver operating characteristic curve ( ROC) analysis prediction model and sFlt-1/PlGF for preeclampsia. Results Preeclampsia occurred in 71 of 246 pregnant women. The family history of eclampsia,hypertension,kidney disease,proportion of
    24-hour urine protein ≥ 0.3 g and mean arterial pressure ( MAP) in the eclampsia group were higher than those in the non-eclampsia group,and PLT and Alb were lower than those in the non-eclampsia group [χ2

    To investigate the relationship between the levels of serum microRNA-499a-5p ( miR-499a5p) and matrix metalloproteinase 16 ( MMP-16) mRNA in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS) and the severity and prognosis of the disease. Methods One hundred and five children with ARDS admitted to the Department of Critical Medicine of Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the ARDS group. According to the oxygen index ( OI) ,they were divided into 39 mild subgroups,42 moderate subgroups,and 24 severe subgroups. According to the clinical outcome of 28 days in hospital,they were divided into 88 survival subgroups and 17 death subgroups. 47 healthy children were selected as the health control group. The serum miR-499a-5p and MMP-16 mRNA levels were detected by qPCR. Pearson /Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum miR-499a-5p and MMP-16 mRNA levels and blood gas analysis indicators in children with ARDS. The predictive value of serum miR-499a-5p and MMP16 mRNA levels on the death of children with ARDS was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic curve ( ROC) . Results The level of serum miR-499a-5p in ARDS group was lower than that in healthy control group,and the level of MMP-16 mRNA was higher than that in healthy control group ( t = 21.349,24.932,P<0.001) . The level of serum miR-499a-5p in mild subgroup,moderate subgroup and severe subgroup decreased in turn,and the level of MMP-16 mRNA increased in turn ( F= 215.087,99.676,P< 0.001) . Serum miR-499a-5p level in death subgroup was lower than that in survival subgroup,and MMP-16 mRNA level was higher than that in survival subgroup ( t = 4.074,3.907,P<0.001) . Pearson /Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between serum miR-499a-5p and MMP-16 mRNA level in children with ARDS ( r = -0.603,P<0.001) . Serum miR-499a-5p level in children with ARDS was negatively correlated with arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide and OI,positively correlated with arterial partial pressure of oxygen and saturation of blood oxygen ( r = -0.662,-0.782,0.509,0.535,P<0.001) ,and MMP-16 mRNA level was positively correlated with arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide and OI,negatively correlated with arterial partial pressure of oxygen and saturation of blood oxygen ( r = 0.642,0.752,-0.519,-0.587,P<0.001) . ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve predicted by serum miR499a-5p and MMP-16 mRNA levels alone and jointly was 0.793,0.781,0.888,respectively,and the area under the curve predicted by the combination of the two was greater than that predicted alone ( Z= 1.995,2.162,P= 0.046,0.031) . Conclusion The lower serum miR-499a-5p level and the higher MMP-16 mRNA level in children with ARDS are related to the aggravation of the disease and poor prognosis,which can be used as prognostic indicators for children with ARDS.

    To investigate the expression and clinical significance of glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored protein 1 ( GPAA1) and Endocan mRNA in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia ( ALL) . Methods Eighty-six children with ALL who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2018 to January 2021 were selected as the ALL group. They were divided into 70 non relapse subgroups and 16 relapse subgroups according to whether they recurred one year later. In addition,54 healthy children who were examined at the same time in the hospital were selected as the healthy control group. The expression of serum GPAA1 and Endocan mRNA was detected by qPCR method. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the expression of serum GPAA1 mRNA and Endocan mRNA in children with ALL,multifactor logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the recurrence of children with ALL,and the predictive value of serum GPAA1 and Endocan mRNA expression on the recurrence of children with ALL was analyzed by the subject's work characteristic curve ( ROC) . Results The expression of GPAA1 and Endocan mRNA in serum of ALL group was higher than that of healthy control group ( t = 13.375,17.485, P<0.001) . The expression levels of serum GPAA1 and Endocan mRNA in the recurrent subgroup were higher than those in thenon-recurrent subgroup ( t = 4. 069,3. 791,P< 0. 001) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of GPAA1 mRNA in serum was positively correlated with that of Endocan mRNA ( r = 0.564,P<0.001) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the immune phenotype T-ALL and WBC ≥ 50×109 /L,mixed lineage leukemia rearrangement,middle and high risk of risk classification,and high expression of serum GPAA1 and Endocan mRNA were independent risk factors for relapse in children with ALL [OR ( 95%CI) = 1.958 ( 1.612-4.748) ,1.465 ( 1.076-1.995) ,1.979 ( 1.094-3.581) ,2.854 ( 2.327-5.916) ,1.512 ( 1.054-2.170) ,2.133 ( 1.080-4.214) ]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve ( AUC) of serum GPAA1,Endocan mRNA expression and their combined prediction of relapse in children with ALL were 0. 786,0.784 and 0.866,respectively. The AUC of the combined prediction of relapse in children with ALL was greater than that of the single prediction ( Z= 2.574,2.919,P = 0.010,0.004) . Conclusion The up-regulated expression of serum GPAA1 and Endocan mRNA in children with ALL is an independent risk factor of relapse in ALL children,and can be used as a predictor of relapse in ALL children.​

    To investigate the effect of down-regulation of FK506-binding protein 11 ( FKBP11) on the proliferation,migration and invasion of renal cancer ( RCC) cells and its effect on the transforming growth factor-β1 ( TGF- β1 ) /Smad homolog 3 ( Smad3) pathway. Methods From March 2020 to March 2021,experiments were conducted in the Biological Laboratory of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University. The mRNA of FKBP11 in human normal renal tubular epithelial cell line ( HK-2) and RCC cell line ( A498,ACHN,CaKi-1,786-O) was determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR ( qRT-PCR) and western blotting ( Western-blot) methods and protein expression levels. The 786-O cells were divided into blank group ( not transfected) ,control group ( transfected with negative control siRNA) ,si-FKBP11 group ( transfected with si-FKBP11) and si-FKBP11 + LY364947 group ( transfected with si-FKBP11 and added TGF-β1 /Smad3 pathway inhibitor LY364947) ,the expression levels of FKBP11 mRNA and protein in cells of each group were detected by qRT PCR and Western blot,the proliferation activity of cells was detected by CCK-8 method and colony formation assay,the invasion and migration ability of cells were detected by Transwell chamber,and Western blot was detected proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA) ,E-cadherin ( E-cadherin) ,vimentin ( Vimentin) ,apoptosis inhibitory protein ( Twist) ,zinc finger transcription factor ( Snail) ,TGF-β1,Smad3 and phosphorylation in each group of cells Smad3 ( p-Smad3) protein expression levels. Results Compared with the normal renal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2,the mRNA and protein expression levels of FKBP11 in RCC cell lines A498,ACHN,CaKi-1,and 786-O were significantly up-regulated ( P<0.05) ,and the expression was the highest in 786-O cells. Compared with the control group,the expression levels of FKBP11 mRNA and protein,the ability of cell proliferation,the ability of cell invasion and migration,and the protein levels of PCNA,Vimentin,Twist,Snail, TGF-β1 and p Smad3 in the si-FKBP11 group were significantly decreased,and the protein level of E-cadherin was significantly decreased. Compared with the si-FKBP11 group,the si-FKBP11+LY364947 group had significantly lower cell proliferation ability,cell invasion and migration ability,PCNA,Vimentin,Twist,Snail,TGF-β1 and p-Smad3 protein levels,E-cadherin protein level was significantly increased ( P<0.05) ; however,there was no significant difference between the blank group and the control group in the changes of the above indicators ( P>0.05) . Conclusion Downregulation of FKBP11 can inhibit RCC cell proliferation,invasion and migration by inhibiting the activation of TGF-β1 /Smad3 pathway.​
