目的 通过多种生物信息学方法分析MAML1在GC患者中的表达及与临床特征、预后和免疫治疗疗效的相关性。方法 利用TCGA数据库分析胃癌组织与正常胃黏膜组织中的MAML1表达水平;Kaplan-Meier在线工具对胃癌数据集GSE15459进行分析,阐明MAML1与患者临床特征及分期、治疗疗效的相关性;STRING软件预测与MAML1表达相关的基因,并用FUNRICH软件评估其富集的分子生物学功能和信号通路;TIMER和GEPIA数据库探索MAML1表达水平与肿瘤浸润免疫细胞及其相应基因标记集之间的关系。结果 MAML1在GC组织中的表达水平高于正常组织(P<0.001),且其表达水平与III期、有淋巴结转移、无远处转移的患者生存期相关(P<0.05),而与I、II和IV期、无淋巴结转移和有远处转移的患者生存期无相关性(P>0.05)。MAML1的相关作用基因主要分布在细胞核、参与转录调控,并且主要富集在雄激素受体、C-MYB转录因子和HIF-2α转录调控等相关的信号通路。MAML1表达水平与B细胞、CD4⁺ T细胞、巨噬细胞的表达水平存在正相关关系(P<0.05),但与肿瘤纯度、CD8⁺ T细胞、中性粒细胞、树突状细胞无相关性(P>0.05)。结论 MAML1有可能成为GC患者较差的临床预后标志物之一,其潜在分子机制可能与转录调控调节肿瘤微环境有关。

Objective To investigate the expression of MAML1 and its relationship with clinical characteristics, prognosis and the efficiency of immunotherapy in patients with GC. Methods MAML1 expression profile was observed by TCGA database. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was applied to evaluate the correlation between the expression of MAML1 and clinical characteristics, prognosis and treatment efficiency of patients in GSE15459 dataset. MAML1-associated genes were predicted by STRING and were enriched in GO and KEGG by FUNRICH software. The relationship between MAML1 expression and markers of tumor infiltrated cells were explored by TIMER and GEPIA database. Results MAML1 was abnormally upregulated in GC tissues compared to normal gastric tissues (P<0.001). MAML1 expression was significantly associated with the overall survival of patients in stage III, with lymph node metastasis and without distant metastasis (P<0.001). There was no significant difference between MAML1 expression and the overall survival of patients in stage I, II, IV, without lymph node metastasis and with distant metastasis (P>0.05). MAML1-assoicated genes were mainly located at the nucleus, mediating transcriptional regulation and mainly enriching in androgen receptor, C-MYB transcription factor and HIF-2α transcription regulation and other related signaling pathways. MAML1 expression was positively related with the expression of B cell, CD4⁺ T cell and macrophages (P<0.05), but without significant difference with tumor purity, CD8⁺ T cell, neutrophils and dendritic cells (P>0.05). Conclusions MAML1 could be used as a marker of clinical prognosis of patients with GC. The potential molecular mechanism might be associated with its function in transcriptional regulation and changes in tumor microenvironment.

目的 探讨广州地区老年住院患者营养状态与日常生活能力(ADL)的相关性。方法 选取2018年7月—2019年6月在广州市第一人民医院住院年龄≥60岁的老年人共275例,收集其一般资料信息,各项临床营养指标(BMI、血清白蛋白、血红蛋白、总胆固醇、甘油三酯)、并运用营养风险筛查2002(NRS2002)评估营养风险、采用Barthel指数评定量表评估日常生活能力;分析老年住院患者营养状态与ADL之间的相关性。结果 在本组研究中,根据NRS2002评分(营养风险:NRS2002≥3;无营养风险NRS2002＜3),营养风险发生率58.9%(162/275);无营养风险发生率41.1%(113/275)。老年住院患者的NRS2002评分与ADL评分呈负相关关系(r=-0.393,P＜0.05);ADL评分与BMI、血清白蛋白、总胆固醇、血红蛋白水平呈正相关关系(P＜0.05)。结论 广州地区老年住院患者NRS2002为日常生活能力的影响因素,通过降低NRS2002评分来减少营养风险可改善老年人的日常生活能力;老年人的营养风险发生率高,应当尽早进行营养干预。

Objective To investigate relationship between nutritional status and activities of daily living(ADL) in elderly inpatients in Guangzhou. Methods Total of 275 people older than 60 were included in this study from Guangzhou First People's Hospital from July 2018 to June 2019. Their nutritional markers(including BMI, plasma albumin, hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglyceride),the activities of daily living(ADL) were evaluated with Barthel index and the nutrition risk screening 2002(NRS2002)used to assess the nutritional risk status were collected to analyze the relationship between nutrition and ADL. Results In these subjects, based on the NRS2002 scores(nutritional risk that the NRS2002 scores were equal or greater than 3, and the non-nutritional risk that the NRS2002 scores were less than 3),58.9%(162/275) patients were having nutritional risk and 41.1%(113/275) were having non-nutritional risk. In elderly inpatients,NSR2002 were negatively associated with ADL(r=-0.393,P＜0.05). ADL was positively associated with BMI, plasma albumin and hemoglobin level(P<0.05). Conclusion In the old, the NRS2002 is an influencing marker of activities of daily living in Guangzhou. Reducing the nutritional risk by lowering the NRS2002 scores can improve ADL in the elderly. The incidence of nutritional risk is highly prevalent in elderly and early nutritional treatment will be needed.

Objective To investigate the vitamin D level of elder people in Guangzhou and the relationship in vitamin D, bone mineral density and parathyroid hormone. Methods To screening elderly patients in the geriatric department of Guangzhou First peoples Hospital from June to December 2016.Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D,parathyroid hormone,procollagen typeⅠN-terminal propeptide,β-crosslaps of C-telopeptide of typeⅠcollagen,bone mineral density were measured.Three groups were divided according to the serum 25(OH)D level,including deficiency group(≤20 ng/mL),insufficiency group(20-30 ng/mL) and sufficiency group(≥30 ng/mL). Results The mean age of the 426 subjects was 79.77±7.69 years old. The average level of 25(OH)D was 20.38±8.20 ng/mL. The proportion of vitamin D deficiency, insufficient and sufficient persons were 53% (226/426), 34.3% (146/426), and 12.7% (54/426). The level of 25 hydroxy vitamin D was decreased with age.Correlation analysis showed that 25 hydroxy vitamin D level was positive correlated with the femoral neck and total hip bone density(r=0.18,P＜0.001),was negatively correlated with parathyroid hormone(r=-2.05,P＜0.001). Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is highly prevalent in elderly men in Guangzhou.25 hydroxy vitamin D level was positive correlated with the femoral neck and total hip bone density, negatively correlated with parathyroid hormone.
