Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of visfatin on the NG2 cell number in the brain of normal rats and rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods Transient focal cerebral I/R model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and a monofilament suture via intraluminal approach in rats. Thirty adult male Wistar-Kyoto rats were randomly divided into four groups, namely, a sham operation group (Sham), a cerebral I/R model group(MCAO), Sham+FK866(a specific inhibitor of visfatin) group, and cerebral I/R+FK866 group. Animals in the latter two groups were intragastrically given FK866 (1 mg/[kg·d]) for a consecutive of 14 days; Sham operation or MCAO was performed at the 7th day of FK866 treatment. The NG2 cells were observed by immunofluorescence staining in animal brains at the 7th day after surgery. Results There was no significant difference in NG2 cell numbers between the Sham group and Sham + FK866 group. Cerebral I/R model group had significantly less NG2 cells in the core region of infarction(P<0.01) and significantly more in the penumbra area (P<0.01) compared with the Sham group, with no significant change in the contralateral side. The NG2 cell numbers were not significantly different between the cerebral I/R model group and cerebral I/R + FK866 group in the above mentioned areas. Conclusion Inhibition of visfatin shows no noticeable effect on NG2 cell number in the brains of normal and cerebral I/R rats, indicating that the neuroprotective effect of visfatin is not associated with NG2 cells.

Abstract:Objective To analyze whether human-derived ICOSIg can bind specifically to ICOSL on mouse immature dendritic cells(DCs) and to explore its biological functions. Methods The binding of ICOSIg to immature DCs was observed by FCM. The cytotoxic effect of ICOSIg on DCs was examined by Annexin Ⅴ/PI, CFSE staining, and CCK-8 kit. thymine incorporation was used to analyze the blocking effect ICOSIg on mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). Results Human-derived soluble fusion protein ICOSIg could bind to ICOSL on mouse bone marrow-derived immature DCs and inhibited the MLR, but it neither induced early or late apoptosis of DCs nor affected their proliferation. Conclusion Human-derived ICOSIg constructed in this study has a potent biological function; it has no toxic effect against mouse immature DCs. It is demonstrated that human-derived ICOSIg can sepecifically bind to ICOSL on mouse immature DCs.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the differences in expressions of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer drug resistance protein (BCRP) and pulmonary resistance protein (LRP) between primary breast carcinoma and metastatic lymph nodes. Methods The expressions of P-gp, BCRP and LRP in breast cancer tissues, including 126 primary carcinoma and 66 metastasis lymph nodes, were determined immunohistochemically on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor sections. Results (1)The positive expression rates of P-gp, BCRP and LRP were 41.27%(52/126), 38.89%(49/126),and 65.87%(83/126) in primary breast carcinoma, and were 59.09% (39/66),63.64%(42/66),and 60.61%(40/66) in metastatic lymph nodes, respectively. The positive rates of P-gp and BCRP in the metastatic lymph nodes were significantly higher than those in primary cancer tissue(P<0.05); there was no significant difference in expression of LRP (P>0.05) .(2) There was a poor consistency in P-gp and BCRP expression between the primary and metastatic sites(P<0.01, Kappa value were 0.276 and 0.356); there was a consistency in LRP expression between the primary and metastatic sites(P>0.05).(3) The co-expression rate of two resistance proteins in primary breast carcinoma was 35.71%(45/126), of three resistance proteins was 15.08%(19/126), and of two or three resistance proteins was 50.79%(64/126), being significantly higher than that of a single protein 33.33% (42/126,P<0.05). The co-expression rate of two resistance proteins in metastasis lymph nodes was 53.03%(35/66), which was significantly higher than that of a single protein 27.27%(18/66,P<0.05). The co-expression rate of three resistance proteins was 16.67%(11/66), two or three resistance proteins was 69.70%(46/66), which was significantly higher than that of a single protein (P<0.01). Both the co-expression levels of two resistance proteins and two or three resistance proteins in metastatic lymph nodes were significantly higher than those in primary cancer (P<0.05) .(4)Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that patients with P-gp, BCRP and LRP expressed in the metastatic lymph nodes had a lower 5-year survival rate compared with patients whose primary breast cancer being positive for them. Conclusion The expression of P-gp and BCRP is different between the primary and metastatic breast cancer sites, and there is no significant difference in LRP expression. Coordination of multi-protein expression is a major feature of resistance. Metastasis lymph nodes may have a stronger resistance.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of phospholated-ERK1/2 on NF-κB p65 expression in the substania nigra(SN) of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced mouse model of Parkinson’s disease(PD) . Methods PD mouse model was induced by MPTP and the behavior of mouse was observed. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting analysis were used to observe the changes in expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), NF-κB p65 and p-ERK1/2 in the SN of midbrain. Meanwhile, the above changes were also observed after treatment with U0126, a specific inhibitor of ERK. Results 1 h after the third MPTP administration, there were much more p-ERK1/2 positive cells than NF-κB p65 positive cells in the SN. 24 h after the fifth injection of MPTP, NF-κB p65 positive cells were significantly increased and p-ERK1/2 positive cells were decreased, accompanied by marked loss of TH positive neurons. The above changes were greatly alleviated in animals treated with U0126. Conclusion ERK1/2 pathway may regulate NF-κB p65 activation in MPTP-induced mouse model of Parkinson’s disease, which leads to loss of dopamine neurons.

Abstract:Objective To explore the effects of 3'-hydroxygenistein on the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and to elucidate the related mechanism. Methods 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were cultured and treated with different dosages of 3'-hydroxygenistein. Cell proliferation was analyzed by counting cell numbers and MTT assay; DNA synthesis of 3T3-L1 was investigated by bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay; the degree of preadipocytes differentiation was evaluated by Oil red O staining; and the expressions of peroxisome proliferation activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBPα) were detected at mRNA and protein level by real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis, respectively. Results Pretreatment with 3'-hydroxygenistein (10-50 μmol/L) for 24, 48 and 72 h markedly promoted 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation in a dose-effect manner (P<0.05, P<0.01). It also significantly facilitated the DNA synthesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Similar to rosiglitazone (ROZ), 3'-hydroxygenistein (at 10 or 50 μmol/L) also resulted in more lipid droplets in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (P<0.05, P<0.01). Furthermore, 3'-hydroxygenistein greatly increased the mRNA and protein expression of PPARγ and C/EBPα in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (P<0.01). Conclusion 3'-hydroxygenistein can promote the proliferation and DNA synthesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes; it can also enhance the accumulation of lipid drops and increase the terminal differentiation of preadipocyts, which might be associated with its ability to increase the expression of PPARγ and C/EBPα.

Abstract:Objective To analyze the characteristics of surface electrocardiographic (ECG) and intracardiac electrophysiological mapping of atrial premature contractions (APC) and atrial fibrillation (AF) originated from the superior vena cava (SVC), so as to investigate the electrophysiological mechanism of AF with SVC origin. Methods The clinical data of 12 patients(mean age 55.3±12.2 years) with paroxysmal AF were retrospectively analyzed; the patients were electrophysiologically confirmed with AF of SVC origin and were hospitalized for radiofrequency ablation during Sept. 2006 to Aug. 2010. The P waves of APC from SVC in inferior leads and V1, morphology of AF, procedure time, ablation sites within SVC, complications and success rate were all analyzed. Results Compared with P wave of sinus rhythm (SR), the P amplitude of APC from SVC was significantly greater ( mV vs mV, P<0.05) in lead Ⅱ, and in lead V1 the ratio of biphasic morphology was significantly higher (91.6% vs 33.3%, P<0.05). The figures of fibrillation wave were similar to P waves of SR and APC in 8 patients (8/12,66.6%). Compared with the electrical isolation of left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV), SVC isolation needed a significantly shorter time ( min vs min, P<0.05)and a significantly less ablation site ( vs , P<0.05). Eight patients still presented persistent rapid firing within SVC after isolation; two patients suffered paroxysmal atrial flutter 1 month after procedure and were controlled by antiarrhythmia drugs. No patients had complications. Conclusion The APC and AF of SVC origin manifest specific ECG patterns, which helps to predict the target vena before ablation; the isolation of SVC needs a shorter time period and less ablation points, and with high success rate.

Abstract:Objective To search for method for treatment and prevention of urethrovesical anastomotic leakage (PUAL) following laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). Methods Eight (5.3%) of the 151 laparoscopic radical prostatectomies performed between Jan. 2006 and Jan. 2011 developed PUAL. Running urethrovesical anastomosis was used for 58 patients and traditional suture was used in 93 during LRP. The mean age of the 8 patients was 66 years (ranging 53 to 78 years), the mean preoperative total prostate specific antigen(T-PSA) was 34.3 ng/ml (ranging 1.1 to 165.0 ng/ml). The preoperative Gleason sum was <7 in 4 patients, 7 in 2, and > 7 in 2 patients. The mean preoperative Gleason score was 7 (ranging 5 to 9). Pathological stage was T1c in 5, T2a in 2, and T2c in 1 patient. The mean operation time was 202 min (ranging 60 to 360 min). Several treatments were used, including prolonged retropubic drainage, bladder catheter traction, drain position adjustment, reduction of fluid intake, delayed bladder catheter removal and enhancing nutrition for patients. Patients underwent reoperation using a laparoscopic approach after failure of the initial management. Results PUAL was not observed in LRP cases with running laparoscopic suture technique, which was significantly better than cases with traditional suture method (0 vs 8.6% ,P<0.05). Six patients were cured by conservative treatments, 2 patients required reintervention via a laparoscopic approach. The catheters of all patients were removed after a mean of 33 d (ranging 21-43 d). Urethral stricture was not found during a 39-month follow-up(ranging 22 to 60 months). Conclusion Urethrovesical anastomotic leakage can be effectively avoided by running urethrovesical anastomosis; conservative treatment and laparoscopic repair are effective managements to treat PUAL.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the values of the multi-planar reformation(MPR), volume rendering(VR) and maximum intensity projection(MIP) following multislice computed tomography (MSCT) examination in the diagnosis and therapy of impacted tooth. Methods Ten patients confirmed with impacted tooth by X-ray film were scanned with MSCT and the data were sent to the workstation for reconstruction of the MPR, VR, and MIP. Results MPR was able to demonstrate the relative bone intensity around the implanted tooth and exactly determine the distance of impacted tooth with the buccolingual bone wall or adjacent teeth. VR directly displayed the three-dimensional position of the impacted tooth and its relationship with the adjacent teeth. MIP displayed the anatomic structure of the impacted tooth and the bone density around it. Conclusion Combination of MPR, VR, and MIP can directly and accurately demonstrate the location of the impacted tooth and its anatomic relation with the adjacent teeth, providing reliable information for surgical and orthodontic treatment.

Abstract:Objective To study the effect of negative emotion evocation on the autonomic function activity of hearts in healthy subjects, and to initially discuss the mechanism by which negative emotion is involved in the development of coronary heart disease. Methods We selected 69 healthy university students as our subjects. A computer game was used to induce the stress among them; the skin code, heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) were collected and compared at different phases. Results The high frequency (HF) value was significantly decreased(F =10.773,P<0.01), the low frequency (LF) value was significantly increased(F =5.620,P<0.01), and LF/HF ratio was significantly increased(F =40.327,P<0.01) at both expecting phase and coping phase, which indicates significant changes of cardiac sympathovagal activity, including the relative excitation of sympathetic nerve, relative depression of the vagus nerve, and aggravated autonomic imbalance. Conclusion Exposure of healthy individual to acute emotional stress can induce autonomic variation similar to that of coronary heart disease, indicating that long-term negative emotional stress may be one of the risk factors for vagal dysfunction.

Abstract:Objective To observe the inflammatory infiltration and morphological changes of lung after treatment with unlinastatin in cholestatic rats, so as to study the protective effect of unlinastatin on the lung of cholestatic rats. Methods Rat obstructive jaundice models were established by bile duct ligation (n=48). Ulinastatin (UTI, 100 000 U/kg) was injected intraperitoneally after operation. The lung tissues were collected at day 1, 3, 7, and 14 after operation. The hepatic function and pulmonary pathology were observed after treatment; dry/wet ratio and water content were calculated. The parameters for alveolar capillary permeability, content of myeloperoxidase (MPO), and activity of malondialdehyde (MDA) were also assessed. Expression of TNF-α and IL-1β was examined by immunohistochemical method. Results The serum bilirubin,dry to wet ratio and water content of the lung tissues were not significantly different between UTI group and jaundice group(P>0.05). The levels of evans blue dyes (EBD), MPO, and the activity of MDA in UTI group were significantly lower than that in the jaundice group and UTI groups at the same time points (P<0.05). The pulmonary histology showed alleviated edema, less neutrophil infiltration and RBC in alveolar space in UTI group compared to jaundice group. The pulmonary expression of and IL-1β and TNF-α was significantly lower in UTI group than that in jaundice group on day 1 and day 14 (P<0.01). Conclusion Ulinastatin can inhibit pulmonary expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β and decrease MPO activity and MDA levels in bile duct-ligated rats, thus improving the permeability of the pulmonary capillary membrane in obstructive jaundice rats and decreasing the pulmonary inflammatory reactions.

Abstract:Objective To observe the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on B cell function and the related signal transduction pathways. Methods Freshly purified splenic B cells (CD19+ B) of mice were isolated by magnetic activated cell sorting. After stimulation with LPS, the culture supernatants were collected for immunoglobulin isotyping by cytometric bead array (CBA) technology. Flow cytometry was used to analyze costimulatory molecule expression and culture supernatants were also collected for measuring IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70 and TNF by CBA technology. PD98059 (ERK inhibitor), SP600125 (JNK inhibitor), SB203580 (p38 MAPK inhibitor) and PDTC (NF-κB inhibitor) were used to study the signal pathways for the induced secretion of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF in B cells. Results LPS induced IgG1 -κ and IgM-κ production, up-regulated the expression of CD40, CD80, CD86 and MHC class Ⅱ, and promoted IL-6, IL-10 and TNF secretion by B cells. Furthermore, JNK, p38 MAPK, and NF-κB pathways regulated the secretion of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF in B cells. Conclusion LPS can regulate B cell function by inducing Ig production, cytokine secretion, and expression of costimulatory molecules.

Abstract:Genetic susceptibility exists in intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD) diseases,which may be associated with gene polymorphisms.Recently,much progress has been made in the relationship between IDD susceptibility and gene single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP). The genes associated with IDD mainly include 3 types: genes associated with intervertebral disc stability (about structure and metabolism), genes associated with inflammation, and genes associated with pain signal channel. Studies of SNP in genes associated with IDD can help to identify its molecular mechanism, paving a way for individualized prevention and treatment of IDD.

Abstract:Breast tumors are the most common tumors of epithelial origin. Some tumors or tumor-like lesions of the breast may display a morphology similar to mesenchymal tumors predominated by spindle cells. However, such morphology is apt to be confused with others due to lack of the characteristic histopathology. This paper reviews some spindle cell lesions in the breast, in an attempt to provide theoretical evidences for the differentiation diagnosis of breast tumors and tumor-like lesions.

Abstract:目的 通过实时测定单态氧(singlet oxygen,1O2)评估635 nm和(或)670 nm激光照射下盐酸氨基乙酰丙酸(5-aminolevulinic acid,5-ALA)介导的光动力学治疗(photodynamic therapy, PDT)抗肿瘤效果。 方法 以5-ALA为光敏剂,在单波长(635 nm或670 nm)及联合波长(635 nm+670 nm)下进行激光照射,利用新型高灵敏的检测系统测定PpIX溶液、肿瘤细胞(9L神经胶质肉瘤细胞和HeLa细胞)及HeLa负瘤裸鼠中的1O2强度,H-E染色法检测肿瘤组织坏死深度。 结果 接受单一的635 nm或670 nm波长激光照射时,PpIX溶液1O2强度在两者中无明显区别。635 nm与670 nm激光联合照射下,9L细胞的1O2强度高于HeLa细胞;在两种细胞中670 nm激光诱发1O2强度均远远低于635 nm激光。在HeLa细胞裸鼠皮下移植瘤中,两种波长激光联合照射产生一定的肿瘤坏死深度,但低于635 nm单波长照射。 结论 在5-ALA介导的PDT中,670 nm波长激光显示了一定的PDT疗效。

Abstract:目的 总结1例累及右心的子宫静脉内平滑肌瘤病的临床诊治经验,并结合文献资料进行讨论,以利于提高对此罕见病的诊治水平。 方法 患者,女性,38岁,因"发热、下腹胀痛、胸闷1周"于2010年7月入院。患者G1P0,2002年因"子宫肌瘤"行"子宫肌瘤剥除术",2003年12月因"子宫肌瘤复发"行"子宫全切除术"。因强烈要求生育,拟行代孕,患者于2010年7月在美国接受注射促卵泡药物"丽申宝注射液",每日3支共计12 d(剂量不详),后因发热、腹胀、胸闷自感症状加重不能承受,即回国就诊。入院后行超声、CT、MRI等影像检查以明确诊断。 结果 检查提示:下腹部及盆腔巨大囊实性占位性病变,左肾积水、腹腔积液,右心房、下腔静脉、左肾静脉、双侧髂静脉瘤栓形成。予行胸腹联合手术,切除右心、下腔静脉等瘤栓,切除盆腔肿瘤,病理诊断为子宫静脉内平滑肌瘤病。 结论 子宫静脉内平滑肌瘤病属于少见病,累及心脏更罕见,近期发生增多可能与辅助生殖中性激素使用频次增加有关;影像学检查可辅助诊断,最终确诊依赖病理;手术切除是首选治疗方式,须切除彻底,防止复发。
