This article, based on the Appraisal System, investigates British journalists’ different attitudes toward China and Vietnam in British news reports about the Dover migrant tragedy in 2000 and the Essex migrant tragedy in 2019. By analyzing affect resources in a newly built corpus with the help of UAM Corpus Tool 3.3, this study finds that more negative affect resources are used to portray China than those depicting Vietnam. British journalists manipulated emotions to emphasize that China, whether in 2000 or 2019, was a backward and underdeveloped country where citizens tried all means to escape to Britain. However, when British journalists found that the victims were Vietnamese instead of Chinese, they shifted attention to the pitiful Vietnamese families of the victims and tended to arouse readers’ sympathy. The corpus findings highlight the ideological contradiction between Britain and China, reveal Britain’s distrust of China’s system, and suggest that the different comprehensive national powers of China and Vietnam have different impacts on Britain’s international status, verifying that news discourse is permeated by ideology, politics, and economy.

The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and robustness of the detection models based on bulk optical properties (BOP) with that based on conventional spectroscopy in kiwifruit quality evaluation. 81 kiwifruit were selected as experimental samples in this study. A single integrating sphere system was built to estimate the bulk absorption coefficient (μ a) and bulk reduced scattering coefficient (μ s ′) of samples and a self-designed online system was used to obtain transmission spectra. The relationship of μ a and μ s ′ with SSC and flesh firmness was analyzed, and detection models were established using partial least squares regression (PLSR). Competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) was also used to eliminate the variables in the original spectra that do not contribute to the improvement of the model performance. Results showed that μ a at 670 nm decreased with the increase of SSC, μ a at 720–900 nm and 950–1000 nm increased with the increase of SSC, and spectra of μ s ′ decreased with the decreasing firmness. CARS-PLSR models were developed, based on μ a , μ s ′ , μ a × μ s ′ , μ e f f , μ t ′ , and transmission spectra. The accuracy of the model based on BOP in predicting internal quality was better than that based on transmission spectra. The model based on μ a was the best for SSC (R p 2 = 0.97, RMSEP = 0.25%), and the model based on μ a × μ s ′ was the best for flesh firmness (R p 2 = 0.97, RMSEP = 0.02 N). 20 kiwifruit that differed from the experimental samples in planting orchard and harvest time were used to compare the robustness and portability of the models. Results showed that all SSC models and the firmness model based on μ a × μ s ′ had good robustness and portability. However, the model based on transmission spectra had a poor performance in predicting the firmness of samples from the external validation set. This study provides an effective reference for the prediction of firmness and SSC based on BOP and transmission spectra of kiwifruit. • BOP difference of kiwifruit with different internal quality attributes were compared. • BOP and online transmission spectra were compared in predicting internal quality. • The SSC model of kiwifruit based on μ a had the best robustness. • The model based on μ a × μ s ′ performed best in determining firmness. • Robustness of firmness prediction model based on transmission spectra was poor.

- Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer (AFPGC) accounts for 1.5%-7.1% of all gastric cancer cases. Compared with other types of gastric cancer, AFPGC is more aggressive and prone to liver and lymph node (LN) metastasis, with extremely poor prognosis. To improve understanding of AFPGC we reviewed a consecutive series of 82 AFPGC patients and investigated the prognostic factors. The incidence of AFPGC among our gastric cancer patients was 1.95%, and 29.27% of AFPGCs were diagnosed with metastasis at the time of presentation, mainly liver metastasis. The serum AFP level of patients with AFPGC was significantly associated with tumor differentiation. Histologically, these AFPGC patients were composed of 34.55% hapatiod type, 58.18% fetal gastrointestinal type, 9.09% yolk sac tumor-like type, and 14.55% mixed type. Patient gender, tumor differentiation, Lauren classification, and number of metastatic lymph nodes showed significant differences among these four subtypes. The overall survival time was 42.02 months and the 3-year cumulative survival rate was 53.13%. Age, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging classification (TNM stage), serum AFP level, and surgery were prognostic factors for overall survival; however, TNM stage was the only independent risk factor for prognosis of AFPGC. In short, AFPGC is a rare, unique, and heterogeneous entity, and its proper identification and treatment remain a challenge. More attention should be paid to AFPGC to improve patient care and the dismal prognosis.

- Abstract
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been implicated in cell invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), via increased β1-integrin expression and cell migration; however, the mechanism remains unclear. PGE2 exerts its effects via four subtypes of the E prostanoid receptor (EP receptor 1-4). The present study investigated the effect of EP1 receptor activation on β1-integrin expression and cell migration in HCC. Cell migration increased by 60% in cells treated with 17-PT-PGE2 (EP1 agonist), which was suppressed by pretreatment with a β1-integrin polyclonal antibody. PGE2 increased β1-integrin expression by approximately 2-fold. EP1 receptor transfection or treatment with 17-PT-PGE2 mimicked the effect of PGE2 treatment. EP1 siRNA blocked PGE2-mediated β1-integrin expression. 17-PT-PGE2 treatment induced PKC and NF-κB activation; PKC and NF-κB inhibitors suppressed 17-PT-PGE2-mediated β1-integrin expression. FoxC2, a β1-integrin transcription factor, was also upregulated by 17-PT-PGE2. NF-κB inhibitor suppressed 17-PT-PGE2-mediated FoxC2 upregulation. Immunohistochemistry showed p65, FoxC2, EP1 receptor and β1-integrin were all highly expressed in the HCC cases. This study suggested that PGE2 upregulates β1-integrin expression and cell migration in HCC cells by activating the PKC/NF-κB signaling pathway. Targeting PGE2/EP1/PKC/NF-κB/FoxC2/β1-integrin pathway may represent a new therapeutic strategy for the prevention and treatment of this cancer.

- Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major health problem worldwide. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), the predominant product of cyclooxygenase-2, has been implicated in hepatocarcinogenesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be further elucidated. c-myc, a cellular proto-oncogene, is activated or overexpressed in many types of human cancer, including HCC. The present study was designed to investigate the internal relationship and molecular mechanisms between PGE2 and c-Myc in HCC, and to define its role in HCC cell growth and invasion. Our results showed that PGE2 significantly upregulated c-Myc expression at both the mRNA and protein levels, and knockdown of c-Myc blocked PGE2-induced HCC cell growth and invasive ability in human HCC Huh-7 cells. The effect of PGE2 on c-Myc expression was mainly through the EP4 receptor, and EP4 receptor-mediated c-Myc protein upregulation largely depended on de novo biosynthesis of c-Myc mRNA and its protein. EP4 receptor signaling activated GS/AC and increased the intracellular cAMP level in Huh-7 cells. The adenylate cyclase (AC) activator forskolin mimicked the effects of the EP4 receptor agonist on c-Myc expression, while the AC inhibitor SQ22536 reduced EP4 receptor-mediated c-Myc upregulation. These data confirm the involvement of the GS/AC/cAMP pathway in EP4 receptor-mediated c-Myc upregulation. Moreover, the phosphorylation levels of CREB protein were markedly elevated by EP4 receptor signaling, and by using specific inhibitor and siRNA interference, we demonstrated that PKA/CREB was also involved in the EP4 receptor-mediated c-Myc upregulation. In summary, the present study revealed that PGE2 significantly upregulates c-Myc expression at both mRNA and protein levels through the EP4R/GS/AC/cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway, thus promoting cell growth and invasion in HCC cells. Targeting of the PGE2/EP4R/c-Myc pathway may be a new therapeutic strategy to prevent and cure human HCC.

- Abstract
The prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) E prostanoid (EP)1 receptor shown to be associated with lung cancer cell invasion. However, the mechanism of EP1 receptor-mediated cell migration remains to be elucidated. β1 integrin is an essential regulator of the tumorigenic properties of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells. To date, little is known regarding the association between the EP1 receptor and β1 integrin expression. The present study investigated the effect of EP1 receptor activation on β1 integrin expression and cell migration in NSCLC cells. A total of 34 patients with clinical diagnosis of NSCLC and 10 patients with benign disease were recruited for the present study. The expression levels of the EP1 receptor and β1 integrin expression were studied in resected lung tissue using immunohistochemistry. A statistical analysis was performed using Stata se12.0 software. The effects of PGE2, EP1 agonist 17-phenyl trinor-PGE2 (17-PT-PGE2) and the nuclear factor κ-B (NF-κB) inhibitor on β1 integrin expression were investigated on A549 cells. The expression of β1 integrin and the phosphorylation of NF-κB‑p65 Ser536 was investigated by western blot analysis. Cell migration was assessed by a transwell assay. The results demonstrated that β1 integrin and EP1 receptor expression exhibited a positive correlation of evident significance in the 44 samples. The in vitro migration assay revealed that cell migration was increased by 30% when the cells were treated with 5 µM 17-PT-PGE2 and that the pre-treatment of β1 integrin monoclonal antibody inhibited 17-PT-PGE2‑mediated cell migration completely. PGE2 and 17-PT-PGE2 treatment increased β1 integrin expression. RNA interference against the EP1 receptor blocked the PGE2-mediated β1 integrin expression in A549 cells. Treatment with 17-PT-PGE2 induced NF-κB activation, and the selective NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate inhibited 17-PT-PGE2-mediated β1 integrin expression. In conclusion, the present study indicated that the PGE2 EP1 receptor regulates β1 integrin expression and cell migration in NSCLC cells by activating the NF-κB signaling pathway. Targeting the PGE2/EP1/β1 integrin signaling pathway may aid in the development of new therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of this type of cancer.

- Abstract
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma cell invasion. Recently, it was reported that Y box-binding protein 1 (YB-1) is closely correlated with malignancy. This study was designed to examine the mechanisms by which PGE2 increases YB-1 expression and promotes HCC cell invasion. PGE2 greatly enhanced HCC cell invasion through upregulation of the YB-1 protein, and the EP1 receptor is mainly responsible for this regulation. Src and EGFR were both activated by PGE2, which in turn increased the phosphorylation levels of p44/42 MAPK. Src, EGFR and p44/42 MAPK were all involved in PGE2-induced YB-1 expression. Chemical inhibitors and RNAi analysis all confirmed the role of mTOR complex 1 in YB-1 expression induced by PGE2. Furthermore, YB-1 was able to regulate the expression of a series of EMT-associated genes, which indicated that YB-1 could have the potential to control the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process in HCC cells. These findings reveal that PGE2 upregulated YB-1 expression through the EP1/Src/EGFR/p44/42 MAPK/mTOR pathway, which greatly enhanced HCC cell invasion. This study for the first time describes the mechanisms through which PGE2 regulates YB-1 expression and promotes HCC cell invasion.
