Abstract
Endometrial carcinoma remains a public health concern with a growing incidence, particularly in younger women. Preserving fertility is a crucial consideration in the management of early-onset endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEEC), particularly in patients under 40 who maintain both reproductive desire and capacity. To illuminate the molecular characteristics of EEEC, we undertook a large-scale multi-omics study of 215 patients with endometrial carcinoma, including 81 with EEEC. We reveal an unexpected association between exposome-related mutational signature and EEEC, characterized by specific CTNNB1 and SIGLEC10 hotspot mutations and disruption of downstream pathways. Interestingly, SIGLEC10Q144K mutation in EEECs resulted in aberrant SIGLEC-10 protein expression and promoted progestin resistance by interacting with estrogen receptor alpha. We also identified potential protein biomarkers for progestin response in fertility-sparing treatment for EEEC. Collectively, our study establishes a proteogenomic resource of EEECs, uncovering the interactions between exposome and genomic susceptibilities that contribute to the development of primary prevention and early detection strategies for EEECs.

Abstract
Despite the high complete response rate of fertility-sparing treatment in early-stage endometrial cancer (EC), the low pregnancy rate is a clinical challenge. Whether endometrium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) can repair damaged endometrium after EC reversal remains unclear. This study explored the potential therapeutic effects of eMSCs with suitable scaffold materials on endometrial damage caused by EC. Here, appropriate engineering scaffold materials were compared to identify the most suitable materials to carry eMSCs. Then, safety and efficacy evaluations of eMSCs with a suitable hyaluronic acid hydrogel (eMSCs/HA-GEL) were investigated in in vivo experiments with subcutaneous xenotransplantation in Balb/C nude mice and a model of endometrial mechanical injury in rats. HA-GEL has minimal cytotoxicity to eMSCs compared to other materials. Then, in vitro experiments demonstrate that eMSCs/HA-GEL enhance the inhibitory effects of progestins on EC cell biological behaviors. eMSCs/HA-GEL significantly inhibit EC cell growth and have no potential safety hazards of spontaneous tumorigenesis in Balb/C nude mouse subcutaneous xenotransplantation assays. eMSCs/HA-GEL intrauterine transplantation effectively increases endometrial thickness and glandular number, improves endometrial blood supply, reduces fibrotic areas, and improves pregnancy rates in a rat endometrial mechanical injury model. GFP-eMSCs/HA-GEL intrauterine transplantation in rats shows more GFP-eMSCs in the endometrium than GFP-eMSCs transplantation alone, and no tumor formation or suspicious cell nodules are found in the liver, kidney, or lung tissues. Our results reveal the safety and efficacy of eMSCs/HA-GEL in animal models and provide preliminary evidence for the use of eMSCs/HA-GEL as a treatment for EC-related endometrial damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy is an attractive treatment option for various cancers. Whether MSCs can be used to treat well-differentiated endometrial cancer (EC) remains unclear. The aim of this study is to explore the potential therapeutic effects of MSCs on EC and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS The effects of adipose-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs), umbilical-cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs), and endometrium-derived MSCs (eMSCs) on the malignant behaviors of EC cells were explored via in vitro and in vivo experiments. Three EC models, including patient-derived EC organoid lines, EC cell lines, and EC xenograft model in female BALB/C nude mice, were used for this study. The effects of MSCs on EC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and the growth of xenograft tumors were evaluated. The potential mechanisms by which eMSCs inhibit EC cell proliferation and stemness were explored by regulating DKK1 expression in eMSCs or Wnt signaling in EC cells. RESULTS Our results showed that eMSCs had the highest inhibitory effect on EC cell viability, and EC xenograft tumor growth in mice compared to AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs. Conditioned medium (CM) obtained from eMSCs significantly suppressed the sphere-forming ability and stemness-related gene expression of EC cells. In comparison to AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs, eMSCs had the highest level of Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) secretion. Mechanistically, eMSCs inhibited Wnt/β-catenin signaling in EC cells via secretion of DKK1, and eMSCs suppressed EC cell viability and stemness through DKK1-Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Additionally, the combination of eMSCs and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) significantly inhibited the viability of EC organoids and EC cells compared with eMSCs or MPA alone. CONCLUSIONS The eMSCs, but not AD-MSCs or UC-MSCs, could suppress the malignant behaviors of EC both in vivo and in vitro via inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by secreting DKK1. The combination of eMSCs and MPA effectively inhibited EC growth, indicating that eMSCs may potentially be a new therapeutic strategy for young EC patients desiring for fertility preservation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the impact of molecular classification and PTEN, KRAS and PIK3CA gene mutation on the outcome of fertility-preserving treatment in the patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) and endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH). METHODS This is a single-center retrospective study. A total of 135 patients with EEC and EAH receiving fertility-preserving treatment and molecular classification were reviewed. The distribution of the four types of molecular classification was described. The impact of non-specific molecular profile (NSMP), mismatch repair-deficiency (MMRd), and PTEN, KRAS and PIK3CA gene mutation on the outcome of fertility-preserving treatment was analyzed. RESULTS Of the patients analyzed, 86.7% (117/136) were classified as having NSMP; 14 (10.4%), MMRd; 1 (0.7%), POLEmut EAH; and 3 (2.2%), p53abn EEC. The patients having NSMP and MMRd achieved similar 16-, 32-, and 48-week complete response rates. The patients harboring tier I and tier II PTEN mutations (PTENmut-Clin) achieved lower cumulative 32-week CR rates than those with PTEN-others (without PTENmut-Clin) (22/47, 46.8% vs. 50/74, 67.6%; p=0.023; odds ratio=0.422; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.199-0.896). Insulin-resistance (hazard ratio [HR]=0.435; 95% CI=0.269-0.702; p=0.001) and PTENmut-Clin (HR=0.535; 95% CI=0.324-0.885; p=0.015) were independent negative predictors for lower 32-week CR rates. CONCLUSION PTENmut-Clin is an independent risk factor for unfavorable fertility-preserving treatment outcomes in the patients with EEC and EAH. The patients with MMRd receiving fertility-preserving treatment achieved outcomes similar to those of the patients with NSMP. The molecular profiles might guide fertility-preserving treatment in the prognosis and clinical decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Progestins are used as fertility-sparing regimens for young patients with stage 1A endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH). CD163+ macrophages promote estrogen-dependent EEC development, but whether they induce progestin insensitivity remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the possible effects of CD163+ macrophages on progestin response in AEH/EEC patients. METHODS The number of infiltrating CD163+ macrophages in progestin-insensitive and -sensitive endometrial lesions was compared. The effects of CD163+ macrophages on progestin responses and progesterone receptor (PR) expression in EC cells were evaluated in vitro. ATAC-seq and RNA-seq were combined to identify molecular/biological changes induced by CD163+ macrophages in progestin-insensitive EC cells. RESULTS Increased CD163+ macrophage infiltration was significantly associated with progestin insensitivity and longer treatment durations in AEH/EEC patients. Additionally, the number of CD163+ macrophages was negatively correlated with PR expression in AEH/EEC tissues. Furthermore, the CD163+ macrophage-mediated microenvironment and secreted cytokines downregulated PR expression and impaired the response of EC cells to medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that CD163+ macrophages antagonized PR signaling by blocking or even reversing MPA-regulated differential gene expression. Based on RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analyses, extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling and ECM-related transcription factors, FOXF2, POU1F1, and RUNX1were identified to potentially be involved in CD163+ macrophage-induced progestin insensitivity in endometrial cancer patients. CONCLUSIONS We identified CD163+ macrophages as an important mediator of progestin desensitization and an unfavorable factor for the efficacy of fertility-preserving treatment in AEH/EEC patients.

Abstract
Progestin is one of the main hormone treatment regimens for early-stage estrogen receptor- and progesterone receptor (PR)-positive endometrial cancer (EC). However, the response rate of EC to progestins is unsatisfactory. Investigating the mechanisms related to progestin treatment could help improve treatment efficacy. Studies have demonstrated that normal endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) increase the inhibitory effect of progestin on EC cell proliferation via paracrine signaling, but the mechanisms involved remain unclear. In this study, we found that ESCs had different morphological features between progestin-sensitive and -insensitive EC tissues. ESCs presented typical decidualization changes in progestin-sensitive cases, while they remained slim in progestin-insensitive EC lesions, indicating no response. Furthermore, ESCs enhanced the inhibitory effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on EC cell proliferation by secreting neuron cell adhesion molecule (NrCAM). MPA treatment enhanced NrCAM secretion by ESCs. EC xenografts in BALB/C nude mice demonstrated that MPA combined with NrCAM had an increased tumor inhibitory effect compared with MPA or NrCAM alone. Mechanistically, MPA upregulated NrCAM expression in ESCs through PR. Specifically, NrCAM increased PR expression in EC cells through TET1-induced hydroxymethylation of the PRB gene promoter region. These findings indicate that NrCAM or NrCAM combined with progestins could be a new EC treatment.

Abstract
Background Pain management, as a key component of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), can effectively relieve perioperative pain and anxiety. However, there are few studies on the application of pain management based on ERAS in pediatric surgery patients. We aimed to examine the effect of ERAS‐based perioperative pain management in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Methods From March 2021 to July 2021, a randomized controlled single‐blind study was conducted on children with OSA and scheduled to undergo adenotonsillectomy. The children were randomly assigned to either control group (n = 60) or ERAS group (n = 60). Traditional analgesia measures were provided to children in the control group, whereas ERAS‐based optimized analgesia measures were provided to children in the ERAS group. The pain scores, anxiety scores and diet quality scores were compared between the two groups. Results The pain scores after surgery in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 6 h, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days after surgery. Furthermore, the diet quality scores in the ERAS group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 6 h, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days after surgery. The anxiety scores after surgery in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusions Perioperative pain management based on ERAS can significantly alleviate postoperative pain, improve quality of life, and promote the accelerated rehabilitation of children with OSA undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Level of evidence 1.

Abstract
Objective Morular metaplasia (MM) is a benign epithelial metaplasia that sometimes appears in atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC). However, the clinical implications of MM for fertility-preserving treatment in AEH and EEC patients are unclear. This study investigated the clinical features and impact of MM on the efficacy of fertility-preserving treatment. Methods We retrospectively studied 427 AEH and EEC patients who received fertility-preserving treatment. Clinical features, treatment efficacy, and onco-fertility results were compared between patients with and without MM. Results MM appeared in 147 of 427 (34.4%) patients. Among them, 49 (33.3%) had MM only before treatment (BEF group), 32 (21.8%) had sustained MM before and during treatment (SUS group), and 66 (44.9%) had MM only during treatment (DUR group). The BEF group had a higher 12-month CR rate (98.0% vs 85.7%, p = 0.017) and shorter therapeutic duration to achieve CR (4.0 vs 5.7 months, p = 0.013) than the non-MM group had. In comparison with the non-MM group, the SUS and DUR groups had a lower CR rate after 7 months of treatment (SUS vs non-MM, 37.5% vs 61.1%, p = 0.010; DUR vs non-MM 33.3% vs. 61.1%, p < 0.001), and a longer median therapeutic duration to achieve CR (SUS vs non-MM, 7.6 vs. 4.0 months, p = 0.037; DUR vs non-MM, 7.9 vs. 4.0 months, p < 0.001). Conclusion Appearance of MM only before treatment was positively correlated with outcome of fertility-preserving treatment, while sustained MM or appearance of MM only during treatment implied poorer outcome of fertility-preserving treatment in AEH and EEC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study examines the function of hypoxia-mediated down-regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) (mir-30c, mir-135a, and mir-27a) in the process of bladder cancer immune escape. METHODS Quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was carried out to determine gene expression levels of Drosha and Dicer under hypoxia treatment, while western blotting and flow cytometry were used to determine protein expression. Seven reported miRNAs were identified via qRT-PCR assay. Flow cytometry detection of CD3/CD4/CD8-positive expression and statistics. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detected cellular immune factors content. Cell apoptosis was checked via flow cytometry assay. Luciferase report assay and western blot assays were both used to verify the relationship between miRNAs and Casitas B-lineage lymphoma proto-oncogene b (Cbl-b). The animal model was established and Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays were separately used to verify the conclusions. RESULTS The CD3 + /CD4 + expression was increased in the hypoxia group, while CD3 + /CD8 + expression, the cellular immune factors content Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNFα) along with the cell apoptosis were suppressed. The protein expression of Cbl-b was found to be up-regulated in the hypoxia group. After constructing the overexpression/ knockdown of Cbl-b in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), Cbl-b has been found to promote tumor immune escape in bladder cancer. Furthermore, Cbl-b had been identified as the co-targets of mir-30c, mir-135a, and mir-27a and down-regulation of miRNA biogenesis promotes Cbl-b expression and deactivating T cells in vitro/in vivo. CONCLUSION Hypoxia-mediated down-regulation of miRNAs' biogenesis promotes tumor immune escape in bladder cancer, which could bring much more advance to the medical research on tumors.

Abstract
Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat is a well-known local cashmere goat breed in China. It is famous for excellent fleece quality and a significant advantage in cashmere yield compared to other cashmere goat breeds. In this study, a genome-wide association study was used to investigate fiber length, fiber diameter, and cashmere yield of 192 Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats using the Illumina GoatSNP52K Beadchip panel. We discovered that four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reached genome-wide significance levels. These SNPs were located in some genes, e.g. FGF12, SEMA3D, EVPL, and SOX5, possibly related to fleece traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat. Gene ontology enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were enriched in several biological pathways that were involved in hair follicle development in cashmere goats. In summary, the identified significant SNPs and genes provide useful information to explore genetic mechanisms underlying the variation in fleece traits and genomic selection of Chinese cashmere goat.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on fertility-sparing treatment in young patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) or endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC). Methods A total of 285 patients with EEC (n=76, FIGO stage IA, without myometrium invasion) or AEH (n=209) who received progestin-based fertility-sparing treatment were evaluated retrospectively. Among the 285 patients, 103 (36.1%), including 70 AEH cases and 33 EEC cases, were diagnosed with PCOS. General characteristics, cumulative 16- and 32-week complete response (CR) rate, pregnancy outcome and recurrence were compared between patients with or without PCOS. Results The cumulative 16-week CR rate was lower in the PCOS group than in the non-PCOS group (18.4% vs. 33.8%, p=0.006). Patients with PCOS took longer treatment duration to achieve CR (7.0 months vs. 5.4 months, p=0.006) and shorter time to relapse after CR (9.6 months vs. 17.6 months, p=0.040) compared with non-PCOS group. After adjusting for patient age, body mass index, PCOS, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index, and serum testosterone levels, we found that body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 (HR=0.583; 95% CI=0.365–0.932; p=0.024) and PCOS (HR=0.545; 95% CI=0.324–0.917; p=0.022) were significantly correlated with lower 16-week CR rate. Conclusion PCOS was associated with lower 16-week CR rate, longer treatment duration and shorter recurrence interval in patients with AEH or EEC receiving fertility-preserving treatment.

Abstract
Endometrial damage is an important cause of female reproductive problems, manifested as menstrual abnormalities, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and other complications. These conditions are collectively termed "Asherman syndrome" (AS) and are typically associated with recurrent induced pregnancy terminations, repeated diagnostic curettage and intrauterine infections. Cancer treatment also has unexpected detrimental side effects on endometrial function in survivors independently of ovarian effects. Endometrial stem cells act in the regeneration of the endometrium and in repair through direct differentiation or paracrine effects. Nonendometrial adult stem cells, such as bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, with autologous and allogenic applications, can also repair injured endometrial tissue in animal models of AS and in human studies. However, there remains a lack of research on the repair of the damaged endometrium after the reversal of tumors, especially endometrial cancers. Here, we review the biological mechanisms of endometrial regeneration, and research progress and challenges for adult stem cell therapy for damaged endometrium, and discuss the potential applications of their use for endometrial repair after cancer remission, especially in endometrial cancers. Successful application of such cells will improve reproductive parameters in patients with AS or cancer. Significance: The endometrium is the fertile ground for embryos, but damage to the endometrium will greatly impair female fertility. Adult stem cells combined with tissue engineering scaffold materials or not have made great progress in repairing the injured endometrium due to benign lesions. However, due to the lack of research on the repair of the damaged endometrium caused by malignant tumors or tumor therapies, the safety and effectiveness of such stem cell-based therapies need to be further explored. This review focuses on the molecular insights and clinical application potential of adult stem cells in endometrial regeneration and discusses the possible challenges or difficulties that need to be overcome in stem cell-based therapies for tumor survivors. The development of adult stem cell-related new programs will help repair damaged endometrium safely and effectively and meet fertility needs in tumor survivors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disease that arises as a consequence of mutations in the SLC12A3 gene, which codes for an Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC) in distal renal tubules. This study was designed to explore the mutations associated with GS in an effort to more fully understand the molecular mechanisms governing GS. METHODS We analyzed SLC12A3 mutations in a pedigree including a 42-year-old male with GS as well as four related family members over three generations using Sanger and next generation sequencing approaches. We additionally explored the functional ramifications of identified mutations using both Xenopus oocytes and the HEK293T cell line. RESULTS We found that the subject with GS exhibited characteristic symptoms including sporadic thirst, fatigue, excess urination, and substantial hypokalemia and hypocalciuria, although magnesium levels were normal. Other analyzed subjects in this pedigree had normal laboratory findings and did not exhibit clear signs of GS. Sequencing analyses revealed that the GS subject exhibited a homozygous missense mutation (c.2874C > G, p.N958K) in exon 24 of SLC12A3. Both parents of this GS subject, as well as his older brother and daughter all exhibited heterozygous mutations at this same site. Functional analyses in Xenopus oocytes indicated that this mutated SLC12A3 gene encodes a protein which fails to mediate normal sodium transport, and when this mutant gene was expressed in HEK293T cells, we observed significant increases in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress pathway activation. CONCLUSION The p.N958K mutation in exon 24 of SLC12A3 can trigger GS at least in part via enhancing ER stress responses.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The relation between type of ventilation used in the operating theatre and surgical site infection has drawn considerable attention. It has been reported that there is a possible relationship between the type of ventilation used in the operation theatre and surgical site infection. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate this relationship. METHODS Through a systematic literature search up to May 2020, 14 studies describing 590,121 operations, 328,183 were performed under laminar airflow ventilation and 2,611,938 were performed under conventional ventilation. Studies were identified that reported relationships between type of ventilation with its different categories and surgical site infection (10 studies were related to surgical site infection in total hip replacement, 7 in total knee arthroplasties and 3 in different abdominal and open vascular surgery). Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated comparing surgical site infection prevalence and type of theatre ventilation using the dichotomous method with a random or fixed-effect model. FINDINGS No significant difference was found between surgery performed under laminar airflow ventilation and conventional ventilation in total hip replacement (OR 1.23; 95% CI 0.97-1.56, p = 0.09), total knee arthroplasties (OR 1.14; 95% CI 0.62-2.09, p = 0.67) or different abdominal and open vascular surgery (OR 0.75; 95% CI 0.43-1.33, p = 0.33). The impact of the type of theatre ventilation may have no influence on surgical site infection as a tool for decreasing its occurrence. CONCLUSIONS Based on this meta-analysis, operating under laminar airflow or conventional ventilation may have no independent relationship with the risk of surgical site infection. This relationship forces us not to recommend the use of laminar airflow ventilation since it has a much higher cost compared with conventional ventilation.

Abstract
AIMS Suilysin is a critical pore-forming virulence factor of Streptococcus suis that has been demonstrated to substantially contribute to its pathogenicity. We have demonstrated that formononetin alleviates S. suis infection both in vivo and in vitro by targeting suilysin. However, the molecular mechanism of the effect is unclear. Our aim was to determine the molecular mechanism of the effect of formononetin on suilysin. METHODS AND RESULTS The mechanism of interaction between formononetin and suilysin was investigated by molecular modelling. The results indicated that formononetin was bound at the junction of domain two and domain four of suilysin. The binding free energy values indicated that the A415, Y412, E414, N413, T61, T62 and G416 residues are critical for this binding, this observation was confirmed by the changes in the flexibility of these residues and the distances between these residues and formononetin. The inhibitory effect of formononetin on the pore-forming activity of suilysin, binding constant and binding free energy were significantly decreased by site-specific mutagenesis of Y412 and N413. Finally, we analysed the spatial configuration of suilysin before and after formononetin binding, the results indicated that the binding changed the conformation of suilysin, especially the angle between domain two and domain four, resulting in the disruption of cholesterol binding to suilysin and in the loss of pore-forming activity. CONCLUSIONS Formononetin is located at the junction of domain two and domain four of suilysin, and Y412 and N413 play critical roles in the binding. Formononetin binding changes the angle between domain two and domain four of suilysin, resulting in the loss of the pore-inducing activity of suilysin. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This work will promote the application of formononetin to combat S. suis infections and may contribute to the development of new inhibitors or modification of existing inhibitors.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the clinical outcomes of megestrol acetate alone or plus metformin in young women with grade 2 stage IA endometrial carcinoma who ask for preserved fertility. METHODS Patients with stage IA grade 2 endometrial carcinoma who asked for fertility-sparing treatment in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University between 2015 and 2017 were enrolled and retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Four patients were included and treated with oral megestrol acetate (160 mg per day), while metformin (500 mg, thrice daily) was added for patients with metabolic syndrome. Regular hysteroscopic examination was performed every 3 months during the conservative treatment. Overall, 75% (3/4) of the patients had a complete response, one relapsed and achieved a complete response after changing the therapy plan, and one patient had an indication of myometrial invasion during fertility-sparing treatment and chose to remove uterus. CONCLUSIONS Fertility-sparing treatment for stage IA grade 2 endometrial carcinoma patients is worth exploration. Megestrol acetate with or without metformin combined with hysteroscopic lesion ablation may be an effective therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hand hygiene is a critical strategy for infection prevention in all healthcare settings. Automated electronic monitoring systems are expected to improve hand hygiene performance. AIM To investigate the impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) management system on hand hygiene compliance among medical staff in an emergency intensive care unit (EICU). METHODS This retrospective observational study was conducted between July 1st, 2017 and February 28th, 2018 in a 19-bed EICU. The changes in hand hygiene compliance among 54 members of medical staff and the incidence of hospital infections were compared, counted, and analysed before and after implementing the IoT management system in the EICU that was initiated on November 1st, 2017. FINDINGS After the application of the IoT management system, the hand hygiene compliance rates among the members of the medical staff before (29.5% (3347/11,338) vs 57.9% (4690/8094), P < 0.001) and after (59.9% (9915/16,556) vs 73.8% (17,194/23 286), P < 0.001) the contact with patients and surrounding environment significantly improved. However, hand hygiene compliance among three cleaning staff did not significantly improve after the application. Moreover, there was no significant difference in healthcare-acquired infection rates (2.535% (9/355) vs 2.047% (7/342), P = 0.667) nor in the detection rates of the four major multidrug-resistant bacteria in the EICU before and after the application of the IoT management system (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The IoT management system significantly improved hand hygiene compliance among medical staff, except cleaners, in the EICU of one provincial hospital; however, the rates of nosocomial infection did not significantly decrease. The quality of hand hygiene implementation needs to be improved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the role of microRNA-26b-5p in regulating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation to type II of alveolar epithelial cells (AECII) in the disease course of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). MATERIALS AND METHODS MSCs were first derived from rat bone marrow. In vitro induction of MSCs differentiation to AECII was conducted by SAGM. The mRNA levels of microRNA-26b-5p, Wnt5a, and AECII-related genes (Occludin, KGF, CK18, SpA, SpB, and SpC) during the process of cell differentiation were detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted for detecting levels of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-α (INF-α), and interleukin-1 (IL-1) in cell supernatant. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was then carried out to verify the regulatory effect of microRNA-26b-5p on Wnt5a. MicroRNA-26b-5p expression in serum samples of NRDS neonates and healthy neonates was detected by qRT-PCR as well. RESULTS MicroRNA-26b-5p was overexpressed in NRDS neonates than those of healthy neonates. Besides, microRNA-26b-5p was highly expressed in the process of MSCs differentiation to AECII. MicroRNA-26b-5p overexpression remarkably inhibited AECII differentiation and Wnt5a expression. Levels of TNF-α, INF-α, and IL-1 in cell supernatant during differentiation induction were elevated. The regulatory effects of microRNA-26b-5p on AECII differentiation, Wnt5a expression, and inflammatory response were reversed by Wnt5a overexpression. CONCLUSIONS MicroRNA-26b-5p inhibits MSCs differentiation to AECII via inhibiting Wnt5a expression through the Wnt pathway.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) are systemic autoimmune diseases characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and disease course. Alternative therapies such as therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), immunoadsorption are recommended to the patients who lack a good response to standard therapy [1].Objectives:Our observational study was to explored whether abnormalities in T-cells, B-cells and their subtypes were present in the patients who had TPE or immunoadsorption in patients with SLE and SS compared with healthy controls (HC).Methods:Demographic, clinical variables and autoantibodies were recorded. Flow cytometry was used to establish the frequencies of lineage subsets. Monoclonal antibodies against 21 surface markers such as CD3, CD4, CD8, were used to distinguish and evaluate T-cells’ and B-cells’ subpopulation. SLE acvity was measured using systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI). Comparisons between subgroups were undertaken using paired T-test, Mann-Whitney U test and ANOVA.Figure 1.Altered expression of CD4+ T-cell subsets in the patients with SLE and SS after treated with plasma exchange or immunoadsorptionResults:6 SS patients and 1 SLE patient underwent immune adsorption, while the other 5 SLE patients had plasma exchange all for three times. There was no significant difference among SLE, SS and HC in the proportion of T-cells and B-cells. The proportion of CD3-CD19+CD27+IgD+ B-cells were reduced in SLE, while CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127- T-cells were elevated in SS. The proportion of CD3+CD4+CD45RA+CCR7+T-cells were increased (p= 0.045), while CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127- T-cells were declined (p= 0.027) and CD3+CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+ T-cells went down after the therapies (p≤ 0.030). The proportion of CD3-CD19+IgD-IgM-CD27+CD38+ B-cells was also reduced after TPE or immunoadsorption (p= 0.032) with ANA titers and IgG decreasing dramatically. SLEDAI scores were reduced after the therapy in SLE patients.Conclusion:The T-cell and B-cell’s profiles were proved to have alteration after TPE or immunoadsorption which shed light on the complicated mechanisms of these relatively novel therapy in SLE and SS.References:[1]Bertsias GK, Tektonidou M, Amoura Z, et al.

Abstract
Background:Poorer work productivity due to pain and functional impairment is commonly seen in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, which may contribute to huge social economic burden. However, data about work outcomes and associated factors in Chinese AS patients were barely reported.Objectives:To assess work outcomes and identify factors associated with poor work productivity in patients with AS in China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in China. Adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years) fulfilled the 1984 New York modified criteria of AS were enrolled from rheumatology center from Jan 2017 to Aug 2017. All participants completed questionnaires about socio-demographic characteristics, disease characteristics, quality of life and the Work productivity and activity impairment questionnaire in AS (WPAI:SpA) to accesses the impact of chronic health conditions on job performance and productivity. Factors associated with work outcomes were evaluated.Results:A total of 91 patients with AS were included: 87.8% males, 78.02% employed, mean age and disease duration of 30 and 10 years respectively. The mean (SD) activity impairment of all patients was 48.57% (22.02%). For patients with employed work, mean (SD) absenteeism, presenteeism and work productivity loss were 10.22% (19.44%), 43.86% (22.48%) and 47.92% (25.81%) respectively. In multivariable analysis, activity impairment was associated with Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) (P<0.01) and Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) (P<0.01).

Abstract
Background:Studies into ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and its relationship with immune function are controversial, and the correlation between the efficacy of TNF-α inhibitor and changes in immune function is unclear.Objectives:We conducted a prospective study of T-cell and B-cell subset distribution and analyzed lymphocyte function in AS patients to further clarify changes to the immune system caused by AS and to explore resistance that could contribute to relapse after treatment.Methods:A total of 40 immune cells were tested with flow cytometry, and the results of 105 HC (healthy control) subjects, 177 active-stage AS patients, and 23 AS cases before and after 12 weeks of Anbainuo therapy were analyzed.Results:Compared with the HC group, the proportion of immune cells, such as naïve and central memory CD4+T cells, in AS increased (p<0.0001), but effector memory and terminally differentiated CD4+T cells were decreased (p<0.01 and 0.0001, respectively). Naïve, central memory, and effector memory CD8+T cells were increased (p<0.0001, 0.001, and 0.01, respectively), but terminally differentiated CD8+T cells were decreased (p<0.0001). Th1 cells (helper T cells-1), Tfh1 cells (follicular helper T cells-1), Tc1 cells (cytotoxic T cells-1), and Tregs (regulatory T cells) were lower (p<0.01, 0.05, 0.0001, and 0.001, respectively), but Th17 cells, Tfh17 cells, and Tc cells were higher (p<0.001, 0.0001 and 0.001, respectively). The proportions of total B cells and class-switched B cells were increased (p<0.05), but non-switched B cells, plasma cells, memory B cells, and immature Bregs (regulatory B cells) were lower (p<0.01, 0.0001, 0.0001, and 0.0001, respectively). After Anbainuo therapy, the percentage of Tregs and B10 cells (IL-10-producing regulatory B cells) had increased (p<0.01and 0.05, respectively), and the increase in Tregs was positively correlated with the decrease in CRP (C-reactive protein) (r= 0.489, p=0.018).Conclusion:We found that, in terms of both innate and acquired immunity, active-stage AS patients have an immunity imbalance involving multiple types of immune cells, including CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, Th cells, Tfh cells, Tc cells, Tregs, Bregs, and B cells. Anbainuo can not only help to inhibit disease activity and partial immune function imbalance in AS but can also increase the number of negative regulatory cells in inflammation.References:[1]Long, S., et al., High frequency of circulating follicular helper T cells is correlated with B cell subtypes in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
A randomized, double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled clinical study with pyridostigmine bromide (PYD) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients ranging from mild to moderate disease was conducted to evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety.
Methods
Six diagnosed male patients with averages of age 48 yr (38 - 57 yr), BMI 28 (26 - 33), AHI 19.2 (15 - 26.2), minimum oxygen saturation (Min SaO2) 81% (75 - 87%) were enrolled to the study. The study consisted one-night acclimatization period followed immediately by a 2-night double-blind treatment period when subjects received either a single dose of PYD (a cholinesterase inhibitor, 90 mg) or placebo before sleep. Subjects were required to maintain in a supine position, and monitored by a standard polysomnography all the time. Sleep questionnaires (The SMH Sleep Questionnaire and ESS) were taken daily immediately after sleep and at the evening to evaluate the sleep satisfaction and the day-time quality, respectively. Safety of the drug was monitored and evaluated.
Results
Reductions of AHI (28.1%, p < 0.01), apnea index (37.2%, p < 0.05), % of total apnea/hypopnea time (36.4%, p < 0.05) were observed in the treatment group compared with the placebo between 2-7 hours of sleep. Min SaO2 was increased, no change, or decreased by PYD in 3, 2, or 1 subject(s), respectively. PYD was generally well tolerated with minimum minor incidents. Subjects reported to have more satisfied sleep and more clear-headed in the treatment night, and more energy, more concentrated and less sleepy during the daytime following the treatment night.
Conclusion
This study demonstrated the initial effectiveness of the PYD treatment for OSA, indicating that it may provide a new treatment option if the efficacy can be maintained in a large-scale clinical trial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the expression of sodium/iodide transporter (NIS) and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) and iodine nutritional status in patients with thyroid carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS 146 cases of thyroid cancer in Shanghai Gongli Hospital, the Second Military Medical University between February and December 2014 were selected as thyroid cancer group, 120 cases of normal thyroid morphology examined by thyroid ultrasound at the same period were selected as normal group. General information and thyroid function of two groups were recorded and analyzed. H&E staining was used to perform histopathological study on both normal group and thyroid cancer group, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect NIS and TSHR protein expression and position. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for quantitative detection of NIS and TSHR mRNA in the two groups, and the relationship between iodine nutrition and NIS and TSHR expression in thyroid cancer patients was studied. The expression of NIS and TSHR in each group was detected by Western blotting, and the difference in NIS and TSHR expression was analyzed by SPSS 17.0 statistical software. RESULTS The difference of serum total triiodothyronine (TT3), total thyroxine (TT4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels between the normal group and the thyroid cancer group was statistically significant (p < 0.05). H&E staining showed that the histopathology of the thyroid cancer group was significantly different from that of the normal group. Immunohistochemistry showed the positive expression of NIS and TSHR in thyroid cancer group. The expression of NIS and TSHR mRNA and protein in thyroid cancer patients was significantly lower than that in normal group detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Analysis of variance showed that the difference of NIS and TSHR expression between the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These findings indicated that the expression of NIS and TSHR in thyroid cancer is closely related to iodine nutritional status, which has important research value.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the inhibitory effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in combination with cisplatin on the proliferation of human osteosarcoma cells in vitro. METHODS Three groups of human osteosarcoma U2OS cells were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with the following drugs: 20 µg/mL 5-FU, 50 µg/mL 5-FU and 50 µg/mL 5-FU in combination with 0.5 mg/L cisplatin. After culture at 24, 48 and 72 h, the inhibition of proliferation rate of U2OS cells was calculated by CCK-8 cell kit. Cell invasiveness was assessed by Transwell assay. Flow cytometry was used for monitoring the cell apoptosis. RESULTS 5-FU inhibited the growth of osteosarcoma cells, and the results of different concentrations of 5-FU were significantly different. The growth of U2OS cells decreased significantly within 24-72 h, and the concentration of 5-FU increased with time. The inhibition of the shift was more obvious, and the combined drug inhibition was significantly higher than the 20μg/ml 5-FU Group, 0.5mg/L Cisplatin Group and 50μg/ml 5-FU Group. After 72 h, the mean inhibitory rates of 20 μg/mL 5-FU, 50 μg/mL 5-FU, 50 μg/ml 5-FU in combination with 0.5 mg/L cisplatin, and 0.5 mg/L cisplatin were 12.54±1.26%, 22.17±0.59%, 32.54±1.25%, 20.84±0.83% respectively, and the difference was significant (p<0.05). Results of cell invasion assay showed that after culturing for 48 h, the mean number of cells penetrating the membrane was 22.84±5.27 in the culture group of 0.5 mg/L cisplatin, 30.57±5.68 in the culture group of 20 µg/mL 5-FU, 18.68±4.88 in the culture group of 50 µg/mL 5-FU, and 9.84±3.64 in the culture group of 50 µg/mL 5-FU in combination with 0.5 mg/L cisplatin, respectively, and 72.00±7.52 in the control group, showing statistical differences in each group (p<0.05). The apoptosis of the control group was significantly lower than that of the other groups (p<0.05). Apoptosis rate of the 20μg/mL 5-FU group was significantly lower than that of the 0.5mg/L cisplatin group, the 50μg/mL 5-FU group and the 50 μg/ml 5-FU group in combination with 0.5mg/L cisplatin (p<0.05). There was no difference in apoptosis between 0.5mg/L cisplatin and 50μg/mL 5-FU group (p>0.05). CONCLUSION 5-FU in combination with cisplatin exerts an inhibitory effect on the proliferation and invasion of human osteosarcoma cells in vitro, and can promote cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is mediated by multiple molecular mechanisms including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Curcumin, a phenolic compound, has cytoprotective properties, but its potential protective action against diabetic cardiomyopathy and the related molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated. In this study, we evaluated the effects of curcumin on cell viability and apoptosis in palmitic acid (PA)-treated H9C2 cardiomyocytes and investigated the signaling pathways involved. Treatment with PA reduced cell viability, induced apoptosis, enhanced apoptosis-related protein expression (Caspase 3 and BCL-2 associated X protein (BAX)), and activated ER stress marker protein expression (glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP)). Curcumin attenuated PA-induced reduction in cell viability and activation of apoptosis, Caspase 3 activity, BAX, CHOP, and GRP78 expression. 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) attenuated the PA-induced effects on cell viability and apoptosis, similar to curcumin. Both curcumin and 4-PBA also attenuated PA-induced increase in ER stress protein (CHOP and GRP78) expression. Curcumin also protected against cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and ER stress induced by thapsigargin. These findings indicate that PA triggers apoptosis in H9C2 cells via ER stress pathways and curcumin protects against this phenomenon.

Abstract
AIMS The underlying mechanisms of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) genetic variation associated with bone mineral density and osteoporosis remain uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the association of VDR and OPG gene polymorphism as well as gene-gene interaction and their haplotype combination with the risk of osteoporosis. METHODS Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism was carried out for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection. Generalized multifactor dimension reduction (GMDR) is used to identify the interaction. SHEsis software evaluated the haplotype and logistic regression was performed to assess the association between the SNPs within the VDR and OPG genes and osteoporosis. RESULTS The risk of osteoporosis in the VDR-rs2228570 polymorphism T-allele carriers was significantly higher than that in CC (CT/TT versus CC) individuals (adjusted odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 1.76 [1.33-2.22]). The risk of osteoporosis was also higher in the G-allele carrier of the OPG-rs3102735 polymorphism than in individuals with the AA genotype (AG/GG vs. AA) (adjusted OR [95% CI] = 1.65 [1.27-2.14]). However, after adjusting for sex, age, and waist circumference covariates, no significant association of VDR-rs17879735 and OPG-rs2073618 with the osteoporosis risk was revealed. The GMDR method identified that gene-gene interactions were significant, but not for gene/AO interaction. Haplotypes were analyzed with SHEsis software. We did not detect a high-risk haplotype combination associated with osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS Both VDR-rs2228570-T and OPG-rs3102735-G and their interactions are related to the increased risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare condition and the recognition of this condition is limited. Here we report five cases of uterine PEComa to add to the limited understanding of this rare condition. METHODS Five cases from Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University were diagnosed as uterine PEComas. We collected the patients' clinical and pathological data as well as their outcomes. RESULTS All the five cases were diagnosed post-operationally. Fertility-sparing surgery was done for the first case and had a mass resection only. She delivered a healthy boy through the cesarean section in November 2016 and neither recurrence nor metastasis was found for 71 months. Hysterectomy was done for the other four cases. Adjuvant chemotherapy was also given for case 2 and case 4. Case 2 had combined endometrial cancer, which could be associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). She was followed up for 22 months and neither recurrence nor metastasis was detected. Neither recurrence nor metastasis was found in case 3 for 33 months. However, the patient in case 4 died of multiple dissemination and multiple organs failures, 10 months after the second surgery. The patient in case 5 had the hysterectomy and left adnexal resection and in this case we had no data about her long-term outcomes. CONCLUSION It is still challenging to detect and diagnose uterine PEComa clinically and no consensus or guidelines have been established regarding the treatment of this condition. More case studies are needed to enlighten the underlying mechanism and help optimize the therapies for this condition.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) has recently become a major gynecological cancer and endometrial hyperplasia increases the risk for developing EC. Previous studies have reported that human high temperature requirement factor A3 (HtrA3), a member of ATP independent serine proteases family, is involved in endometrial carcinogenesis. However, the underlying mechanism of HtrA3 function is unclear in endometrial hyperplasia and cancer. In this study, we investigated that HtrA3 expression was reduced in endometrial hyperplasia as well as EC. The circulating levels of HtrA3 were also significantly reduced in both atypical hyperplasia and EC. Whether hypoxia is involved in the reduction of HtrA3 in EC was further investigated. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) scores of Glut1 and HtrA3 in type 1 and type 2 EC tissues showed the inverse correlation. And hypoxic condition reduced the expression of HtrA3. Furthermore, silencing HtrA3 promoted EC cell migration. Our study demonstrated the reduced levels of HtrA3 in endometrial hyperplasia including atypical hyperplasia which is a premalignant condition; and as the degree of hypoxia increases in EC, HtrA3 eventually loses its expression. Hypoxia is responsible for the reduction of HtrA3 which in turn promotes EC progression. These findings suggested that HtrA3 is an important adaptor in hypoxic regions that drives endometrial cancer development.

Abstract
Unopposed estrogen stimulation and insulin resistance are known to play important roles in endometrial cancer (EC), but the interaction between these two factors and how they contribute to endometrial lesions are not completely elucidated. To investigate the endometrial transcriptome profile and the associated molecular pathway alterations, we established an ovariectomized C57BL/6 mouse model treated with subcutaneous implantation of 17-β estradiol (E2) pellet and/or high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks to mimic sustained estrogen stimulation and insulin resistance. Histomorphologically, we found that both E2 and E2 + HFD groups showed markedly enlarged uterus and increased number of endometrial glands. The endometrium samples were collected for microarray assay. GO and KEGG analysis showed that genes regulated by E2 and/or HFD are mainly responsible for immune response, inflammatory response and metabolic pathways. Further IPA analysis demonstrated that the acute phase response signaling, NF-κB signaling, leukocyte extravasation signaling, PPAR signaling and LXR/RXR activation pathways are mainly involved in the pathways above. In addition, the genes modulated reciprocally by E2 and/or HFD were also analyzed, and their crosstalk mainly focuses on enhancing one another's activity. The combination analysis of microarray data and TCGA database provided potential diagnostic or therapeutic targets for EC. Further validation was performed in mice endometrium and human EC cell lines. In conclusion, this study unraveled the endometrial transcriptome profile alterations affected by E2 and/or HFD that may disturb endometrial homeostasis and contribute to the development of endometrial hyperplasia.

Abstract
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has successfully assisted couples with genetic diseases to conceive healthy babies during the past decades. However, biopsy of the blastomere has potential lesion to the embryos which commonly results in abortion. Thus, a noninvasive PGD is needed. In the past, the presence of genetic materials in maternal plasma or serum has triggered a great innovation of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis. Nevertheless, it is not clear whether embryonic DNA is also present in embryonic culture medium. Here, a rapid-boiling method has been used to harvest DNA from the medium or the discarded embryos, following Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was applied to detect the dissociative DNA by amplifying SRY gene (Y-chromosome). For the first time, the Y sequences were detected in the medium which were used to culture embryo for above 3 days. None of the positive signal was examined in Day 1 and Day 2 embryonic culture medium. Our findings suggest that the Y chromosome fragments from the embryo may release into its culture medium. If validated in a larger cohort, detection of SRY gene may prove to be a useful method to screen Y-linked genetic disease. More importantly, detecting the free DNA in the embryonic culture medium may represent a novel strategy for noninvasive PGD.

Abstract
Purpose Our objective was to evaluate the birth outcomes of FET from different developmental stage of embryo at freezing (Day 3, Day 5 and Day 6). Methods All vitrified-warmed day 3 (D3) and day 5/6 (D5, D6) embryo transfers during the time period from January 2013 until December 2015 were included in the study. The Birthweight, Low birthweight (LBW), sexual distinction, gestation and for singleton births and twins conceived by FET were compared retrospectively between three cryopreservation strategies utilizing either D3, D5 or D6 embryo freezing. All embryos were vitrified by Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), Ethylene glycol (EG) and Sucrose used as Cryoprotectants and using Cryoleaf as the receptacles. Results A total of 993 infants from 771 women. The length of embryos storage was 3-38 months, with a median of 8 months. For singleton, birthweight from D5 and D6 blastocysts transfers were significantly heavier than for D3 cleavage-stage embryos transfers (P =0.0065 P =0.0006). For twins, birthweight from D6 blastocysts transfers were significantly heavier than for D5 blastocysts transfers (P =0.0044), and children born after D3 were at a signigicantly increased risk of being born a LBW. Conclusions Birthweights from FET are influenced by developmental stage of embryos at freezing, which were lower for cleavage-stage embryos transfer than blastocysts transfer after FET in singletons. The birth rate of LBW infants was higher in the twins. The study was small so there may be other factors than cryopreservation which affected outcomes. A higher sample size or a multi-centre prospective randomized design could be used in future studies to corroborate the current findings.

Abstract
Although the role of PLCγ2 in apoptotic response has been reported, too little is known about whether PLCγ2 induces liver cell apoptosis during liver regeneration. Therefore, this study firstly packaged Ad-PLCγ2 recombinant adenovirus and primarily evaluated its effect on apoptosis of rat liver cell BRL-3A in vitro. Following ten days of co-transfection of pHBAd-MCMV-GFP-PLCγ2 and pHBAd-BHG into HEK293 cells, viral cytopathic effect (CPE) was apparent. Following three rounds of amplification, tissue culture infectious dose 50 (TCID50) assay showed that the titer value reached 1×1010 PFU/mL. After 24 h of transfection of recombinant adenovirus into BRL-3A cells, transfection efficiency of adenovirus into BRL-3A cells was above 90% when obsereved under fluorescent microscopy. qRT-PCR and Western blot assays showed mRNA and protein levels of PLCγ2 were significantly elevated in the transfected BRL-3A cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed that, compared with the control and Ad-GFP groups, cell apoptosis rate of Ad-PLCγ2 group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the cell cycle in Ad-PLCγ2 group was arrested at G1 phase which was manifested by a marked increase (P<0.01) in the percentage of G1 phase cells and a great decrease (P<0.01) in the percentage of S and G2/M phase cells. It was concluded from above results that recombinant adenovirus Ad-PLCγ2 was packaged successfully, and could promote cell apoptosis by arresting the transition from G1 to S phase of BRL-3A cells.
