Abstract
Non-SMC (Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes) condensin I complex subunit H (NCAPH) has been shown to facilitate progression and predict adverse prognostic outcome in many cancer types. However, the function of NCAPH in gliomas is still unclear. Series of experiments were taken to uncover the function of NCAPH in glioma. The expression of NCAPH and potential mechanism regulating progression of glioma was verified by bioinformatics analysis. Lentiviral transfection was used for establishment of loss-of-function and gain-of-function cell lines. CCK-8 assay and Colony-formation assay were used to evaluate proliferation. Transwell assay and Cell wound healing assay were used to assess migration and invasion. Cell cycle and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. Protein and RNA were quantified by WB and RT-PCR, respectively. The nude mice model of glioma was used to evaluate the effect of NCAPH in vivo. The expression of NCAPH increased significantly in glioma tissues and correlated with WHO grade, IDH wild-type and non-1p/19q codeletion. Glioma patients with high expression of NCAPH had an undesirable prognosis. Functionally, upregulated NCAPH promotes the malignant hallmarks of glioma cells in vivo and in vitro. NCAPH correlated with DNA damage repair ability of glioma cells and facilitated the proliferation, invasion, and migration of glioma cells by promoting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This study identifies the important pro-tumor role of NCAPH in glioma and suggests that NCAPH is a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis could lead to chronic cognitive impairment by unclear molecular mechanisms. Transient receptor potential melastatin-2 (TRPM2) is essential against immunity-related activities and inflammation. Our study attempted to decipher the relationship between cognitive impairment caused by severe inflammation and TRPM2 expression levels. METHODS Severe inflammation was induced by intraperitoneally injecting C57/BL6 mice with a high dosage (5 mg kg-1) of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Fear conditioning and a Morris water maze test were performed to examine the cognitive abilities of the mice. Moreover, the signaling and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and TRPM2 were measured using Western blotting and Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining helped to determine the astrocyte apoptosis rate. RESULTS Severe inflammation can lead to long-term cognitive impairment in C57/BL6 mice. The interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) levels intra-hippocampus were significantly elevated until P14 post-LPS introduction. At both P7 and P14, there is an up-regulation of TRPM2 expression within hippocampus. Administration of recombinant IL-1β to astrocytes results in a significant up-regulation of TRPM2 expression. IL-1β or TRPM2 level knockdown helped counter the cognitive impairment caused by significant inflammation. CONCLUSIONS A continuous increase in IL-1β levels within the hippocampus can lead to cognitive impairment by enhancing TRPM2 levels caused by severe inflammation.

Abstract
Glioma is an intracranial tumor characterized by high mortality and recurrence rates. In the present study, the association of TRPM8 channel-associated factor 2 (TCAF2) in glioma was investigated using bioinformatics, showing significant relationships with age, WHO grade, IDH, and 1p/19q status, as well as being an independent predictor of prognosis. Immunohistochemistry of a glioma sample microarray showed markedly increased TCAF2 expression in glioblastoma relative to lower-grade glioma, with elevated expression predominating in the tumor center. Raised TCAF2 levels promote glioma cell migratory/invasion properties through the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-like (EMT-like) process, shown by Transwell and scratch assays and western blotting. It was further found that the effects of TCAF2 were mediated by the activation of STAT3. These results suggest that TCAF2 promotes glioma cell migration and invasion, rendering it a potential drug target in glioma therapy.

Abstract
Background Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death (PCD) that has been implicated in cancer progression, although the specific mechanism is not known. Here, we used the latest DepMap release CRISPR data to identify the essential ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in glioma and their role in patient outcomes. Methods RNA-seq and clinical information on glioma cases were obtained from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). FRGs were obtained from the FerrDb database. CRISPR-screened essential genes (CSEGs) in glioma cell lines were downloaded from the DepMap portal. A series of bioinformatic and machine learning approaches were combined to establish FRG signatures to predict overall survival (OS) in glioma patients. In addition, pathways analysis was used to identify the functional roles of FRGs. Somatic mutation, immune cell infiltration, and immune checkpoint gene expression were analyzed within the risk subgroups. Finally, compounds for reversing high-risk gene signatures were predicted using the GDSC and L1000 datasets. Results Seven FRGs (ISCU, NFS1, MTOR, EIF2S1, HSPA5, AURKA, RPL8) were included in the model and the model was found to have good prognostic value (p < 0.001) in both training and validation groups. The risk score was found to be an independent prognostic factor and the model had good efficacy. Subgroup analysis using clinical parameters demonstrated the general applicability of the model. The nomogram indicated that the model could effectively predict 12-, 36-, and 60-months OS and progression-free interval (PFI). The results showed the presence of more aggressive phenotypes (lower numbers of IDH mutations, higher numbers of EGFR and PTEN mutations, greater infiltration of immune suppressive cells, and higher expression of immune checkpoint inhibitors) in the high-risk group. The signaling pathways enriched closely related to the cell cycle and DNA damage repair. Drug predictions showed that patients with higher risk scores may benefit from treatment with RTK pathway inhibitors, including compounds that inhibit RTKs directly or indirectly by targeting downstream PI3K or MAPK pathways. Conclusion In summary, the proposed cancer essential FRG signature predicts survival and treatment response in glioma.

Abstract
BackgroundOsteoarthritis(OA) is a common comorbidity in the elderly, characterized by articular cartilage degeneration, hyperosteogeny and synovitis. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been shown to be involved in several human diseases, including OA. However, the effect of NUTM2A-AS1 on chondrocytes remains unknown.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of LncRNA NUTM2A-AS1 in OA pathological changes in vitro.MethodsChondrocyte cells were treated for 24 hours to mimic OA pathological conditions. The experimental center used chondrocytes with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) Intervention to simulate the pathological state of OA.The expression levels of LncRNA NUTM2A-AS1, miR-183-5p and TGFA mRNA were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), along with CCK-8 to determine cell viability. Inflammatory response was assessed by determining the release of pro-inflammatory factors such as TNF-α and IL-6 using ELISA kits. Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry assay. The binding relationship between miR-183-5p and LncRNA NUTM2A-AS1 or TGFA was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay.ResultsIL-1β induced chondrocytes to express LncRNA NUTM2A-AS1 and TGFA, and the miR-183-5p expression was decreased in IL-1β-treated cells. Low expression of LncRNA NUTM2A-AS1 or TGFA mitigated IL-1β-caused chondrocyte viability reduction and apoptosis promotion. miR-183-5p overexpression alleviated IL-1β-mediated chondrocyte apoptosis and inflammatory injury via decreasing TGFA expression. In addition, our work revealed that miR-183-5p is a target of LncRNA NUTM2A-AS1. Rescue experiments showed that TGFA overexpression could reverse the effects of low expression of LncRNA NUTM2A-AS1 on the pathological changes in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes.ConclusionLow expression of LncRNA NUTM2A-AS1 significantly mitigated the chondrocytes damage induced by IL-1β through regulating miR-183-5p/TGFA axis, which might be an important target to regulate the promotion of OA.References[1]Kong H, Sun ML, Zhang XA, Wang XQ.

Abstract
BackgroundIt was found that the expression of mir-29b was significantly up-regulated in PBMs, and we tried to clarify TNF- α The production of proinflammatory cytokines was increased by inducing the overexpression of mir-29b in CD14 +PBMs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and by using TNF-α that the expression of mir-29b was significantly urapy to reverse regulate mir-29b, and carry out relevant experiments to verify our scientific research hypothesis.ObjectivesBy observing patients with RA treated with TNF-α significantly urapy to reverse regulate mir-29b, and carry out relevant experimenperipheral blood mononuclear cells (CD14+PBMs) and releases pro-inflammatory cytokines.Methods(1) Cell experiment: PBM cells from RA patients were collected and extracted for CD14+ cell expression labeling. Different doses of TNF-α blood mononuclear c500 ng/ml) were used for intervention. Meanwhile, the expression of mir-29b was analyzed by rt-qpcr at the level of TNF-α100 ng/ml for different periods of time (0,6,12,24h). In addition, the supernatant of cell culture was collected and human cytokines IL-1α, IL-1β, TNFα, IL-6, IFN-α and IL-8 were measured using a V-plex human cytokine 30-plex kit. (2)Grouping experiment of clinical intervention: 21 patients with RA diagnosis and 15 healthy volunteers were divided into three groups. TNF-α inhibitor group: RA patients treated with TNF-α inhibitor were collected (n=15); IL-6 monoclonal antibody group: RA patients treated with tocilizumab (n=6); Control group: healthy volunteers (n=15) were used as normal controls. PBMc was extracted from TNF-α inhibitor group for 6 months, IL-6 monoclonal antibody group for 6 months, and control group, respectively, to observe the difference of Mir-29b expression in CD14+PBMs of the three groups.ResultsThe expression of miR-29b was dose-dependent and time-dependent with the incubation of TNF-α, and there was a significant difference (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the overexpression of miR-29b also led to an increase in the expression levels of a wide range of chemokines and proinflammatory cytokines (including IL-1α, IL-1β, TNFα, IL-6, IFN-α and IL-8) (P < 0.05). The expression of miR-29b in RA patients treated with TNF-α inhibitor was significantly reduced compared with that treated with Totuzumab (P<0.05).ConclusionTNF-α inflammatory factors can induce the overexpression of miR-29b in RA patients, and then producing a large number of proinflammatory cytokines, which can aggravate the inflammation mechanism of RA. In RA patients, TNF-α inhibitors may partially reduce the inflammatory response through the TNF-α/CD14+PBMs/ Mir-29b signaling pathway. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the expression of Mir-29b in TNF-α and CD14+PBMs in clinical practice, which may accurately indicate the state of immune disease in patients, and provide a basis for more accurate judgment of prognosis and the course of immunotherapy, as well as optimization of immunotherapy programs.References[1]Long L, Yu P, Liu Y, et al.

Abstract
Knowledge of lung ultrasound characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia might
be useful for early diagnosis and clinical monitoring of patients, and lung ultrasound can
help to control the spread of infection in healthcare settings. In this case report, a
36-year-old man with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection was
diagnosed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction testing of a nasopharyngeal
swab. The lung ultrasound findings for this patient were the interstitial-alveolar damage
showing bilateral, diffuse pleural line abnormalities, subpleural consolidations, white
lung areas and thick, irregular vertical artifacts. When the patient recovered from the
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, lung ultrasound images showed a
normal pleural line with A-lines regularly reverberating. Performing lung ultrasound at
the bedside minimizes the need to move the patient, thus reducing the risk of spreading
infection among healthcare staff. Lung ultrasound is useful for early diagnosis and
evaluation of the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia and for monitoring its
progress over the course of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and the following development of brain edema, is the most life-threatening secondary injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study is to investigate a potential role and mechanism of JWH133, a selected cannabinoid receptor type2 (CB2R) agonist, on protecting blood-brain barrier integrity after ICH. METHODS 192 adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into Sham; ICH + Vehicle; ICH + JWH 1.0 mg/kg, ICH + JWH 1.5 mg/kg and ICH + JWH 2.0 mg/kg; ICH + SR + JWH respectively. Animals were euthanized at 24 h following western blots and immunofluorescence staining, we also examined the effect of JWH133 on the brain water contents, neurobehavioral deficits and blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability, meanwhile reassessed the inflammatory cytokines concentrations around the hematoma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in each group. RESULTS JWH133 (1.5 mg/kg) administration ameliorated brain edema, neurological deficits and blood-brain barrier damage, as well as microglia activation. The expression of pro-inflammatory mediators interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and matrix metallopeptidase-2/9 (MMP2/9) were attenuated, but not monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Additionally, decreases in zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and claudin-5 expression were partially recovered by JWH133. Furthermore, JWH133 upregulated the expression level of MKP-1, which leads to the inhibition of MAPKs signaling pathway activation, especially for ERK and P38. However, these effects were reversed by pretreatment with a selective CB2R antagonist, SR144528. CONCLUSIONS CB2R agonist alleviated neuroinflammation and protected blood-brain barrier permeability in a rat ICH model. Further molecular mechanisms revealed which is probably mediated by enhancing the expression of MKP-1, then inhibited MAPKs signal transduction.

Abstract
The diagnostic value of a 10 kDa subunit of 150 kDa protein in cyst fluid (CF) of Taenia solium metacestodes was evaluated. Immunoblot analysis revealed that most sera from patients with neurocysticercosis recognized the 10 kDa subunit strongly (209/217 cases, 84.6%), while a few sera from individuals with other parasitic diseases including alveolar echinococcosis (AE, 2/20, 10%) and cystic echinococcosis (CE, 2/25, 8%) showed faint reactions. Sera of cases with other parasitic diseases, especially AE and CE, exhibited cross reactions against other bands in CF. Both differential immunoblot and immunoprecipitation analyses showed that the 10 kDa subunit was the most specific to cysticercosis and highly antigenic, whereas other components at 20-40, 64, 95 and 106 kDa in CF were cross-reactive. IgG subclass ELISA and immunoblot demonstrated that both IgG4 and IgG1 reactions were predominant in neurocysticercosis and recognized the 10 kDa.

Abstract
PURPOSE To design and manufacture the prosthesis of external type for patients with ocular large defects. METHODS Silicon and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were chosen the chief materials: The main procedures are: taking the impression, color mixture, making primitive form of the prosthesis, modification and fixation. RESULTS Fifty patients with large ocular defects took the prosthesis, the cosmetic results are satisfactory. All the patients give satisfactory comments on the 5 main indexes: color 90%, stereo-feeling 100%, peripheral difference 86%, fidelity 98% and fixation 86%. CONCLUSIONS To make ocular prosthesis, materials with good quality and complicated technology are needed. The prosthesis made by silicon combined with PMMA show good results. Among the procedures of making prosthesis, color mixture and fixation are the most important.
