OBJECTIVES Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is expressed on tumor cells (TC) and tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC). We conducted a retrospective study to investigate the relationship between PD-L1 expression on TC/IC and 18F-FDG uptake in patients with surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Total 362 NSCLC patients (297 adenocarcinoma and 65 squamous cell carcinoma) who underwent preoperative 18F-FDG-PET/CT imaging were analyzed retrospectively. Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed for PD-L1 expression on TC and IC in NSCLC specimens with 28-8 antibody. The cut-off value of 5% for defining PD-L1 positivity was determined according to previous trials. The association between PD-L1 expression and clinicopathological variables were analyzed, including age, gender, smoking status, tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, stage and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax). RESULTS PD-L1 positive expression was 50.8% (184/362) in NSCLC patients. Its positive expression on TC and IC were 24.3% (88/362) and 42.5% (154/362), respectively. SUVmax was significantly higher in patients with PD-L1 positive expression on TC or IC than that with negative. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that PD-L1 expression were correlated with SUVmax. The best cut-off value of SUVmax for PD-L1 expression on TC/IC was 8.5 [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.607, 95% CI 0.549-0.665, P = 0.001, sensitivity 50.5% and specificity 71.4%] determined by ROC curve. CONCLUSION High SUVmax is linked to PD-L1 expression on TC and IC in our patients with surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer. 18F-FDG-PET/CT imaging may be used to predict the PD-L1 expression on TC and IC in NSCLC patients.The human gut microbiome partakes in a bidirectional communication pathway with the central nervous system (CNS), named the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The microbiota-gut-brain axis is believed to modulate various central processes through the vagus nerve as well as production of microbial metabolites and immune mediators which trigger changes in neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, and behavior. Little is understood about the utilization of microbiome manipulation to treat disease. Though studies exploring the role of the microbiome in various disease processes have shown promise, mechanisms remain unclear and evidence-based treatments for most illnesses have not yet been developed. The animal studies reviewed here offer an excellent array of basic science research that continues to clarify mechanisms by which the microbiome may affect mental health. More evidence is needed, particularly as it relates to translating this work to human subjects. The studies presented in this paper largely demonstrate encouraging results in the treatment of depression. Limitations include small sample sizes and heterogeneous methodology. The exact mechanism by which the gut microbiota causes or alters neuropsychiatric disease states is not fully understood. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/heparan-sulfate.html In this review, we focus on recent studies investigating the relationship between gut microbiome dysbiosis and the pathogenesis of depression. This article is based on previously conducted studies and does not contain any studies with human participants or animals performed by any of the authors.INTRODUCTION Many Chinese patients who are uncontrolled by oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) receive short-term intensive insulin therapy (IIT) in hospital to rapidly relieve glucose-associated toxicity and to preserve/improve β-cell function. However, evidence for optimizing insulin algorithms for maintenance treatment after IIT is lacking. This study will compare the efficacy and safety of basal insulin-based treatment versus twice-daily premixed insulin in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients after short-term in-hospital IIT. METHODS This 26-week randomized, multicenter, positive-controlled, open-label, parallel-group study will enroll approximately 400 male and female patients aged 18-70 years with poorly-controlled T2DM (HbA1c > 7.5%) despite treatment with metformin plus at least one other OAD for 8 or more weeks. During a run-in period of 7-10 days, patients will be treated in-hospital with IIT comprising insulin glargine (Lantus®) once daily and insulin glulisine (Apidra®) three times daily; both regimens will be titrated daily to achieve the glycemic goal. Eligible patients will then be randomized in a 11 ratio to insulin glargine plus OADs or twice-daily premixed insulin (NovoLog® Mix 70/30) for 24 weeks, with metformin maintained throughout the study in both treatment groups. The primary endpoint is HbA1c change from baseline to week 24. Secondary endpoints include assessment of fasting plasma glucose, total daily insulin dose, hypoglycemia incidence, body weight change, adverse events, and patient satisfaction. DISCUSSION Given the current lack of clinical data, this study will provide evidence supporting safe and effective glycemic control using basal insulin glargine-based therapy plus OADs compared with twice-daily premixed insulin in Chinese patients with T2DM after short-term IIT. This will assist physicians by providing a wider choice of treatments. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT03359837 (registered on 2 December 2017).BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed pervasively in the genome and act to regulate chromatin remodeling and gene expression. Dysregulated lncRNA expression has been reported in many cancers, but the role of lncRNAs in esophageal cancer (EC) has so far remained poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to understand the effect of lncRNA LINC01234 on EC development through competitively binding to microRNA-193a-5p (miR-193a-5p). METHODS The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used for microarray-based EC expression profiling. Gain- and loss-of-function analyses were carried out in human EC-derived Eca-109 and EC9706 cells. Expression analyses of miR-193a-5p, LINC01234, CCNE1, caspase-3, p21, Bax, cyclinD1 and Bcl-2 were performed using RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Cell proliferation, colony formation and apoptosis analyses were carried out using MTT, Hoechst 33258 and flow cytometry assays. A xenograft EC model in nude mice was used to evaluate in vivo tumor growth and CCNE1 expression.
