The purpose of this paper is to clarify the structure-activity relationship of anti-tumor activity of diosgenin derivatives in vitro. Study has found that diosgenin can inhibit the reproduction of tumor cells by inducing apoptosis and the main target spot of this effect is Bcl-2. Based on the characteristics of pharmacophoric points' of the three-dimensional pharmacophore for Bcl-2 inhibitors, we have docked lots of diosgenin derivatives with Bcl-2, then synthesized 31 compounds of them, finally assessed the anti-tumor activity of the diosgenin derivatives in vitro against A375, A549, HepG-2 and K562. Preliminary studies of SAR have indicated that the aliphatic esters, and aromatic esters of diosgenin without F ring have no anti-tumor activity in vitro. The triazole bromides of diosgenin all achieve fairly good anti-tumor activity in vitro, and those with larger hydrophobic group have the better activity. The stronger is the hydrogen bonding interaction and dipole-dipole interaction of the heterocyclic of diosgenin and diosgenin without F ring and the acid ester of diosgenin without F ring, the better is the activity of derivatives.

Objective To characterize the clinical factors which influence water suppression and auto-shimming line width for liver 3.0 T 1H-MRS.Methods Fifty-seven cases with liver 1H-MR spectroscopy(1H-MRS) were retrospectively studied, including chronic type B hepatitis (n=5), fatty liver (n=14), chronic type B hepatitis combining fatty liver (n=3) and normal situation (n=35).Independent t test was used to characterize the difference of general condition (height, weight, body mass index etc.) between different water suppression effect groups and between different shimming effect groups.Using Chi-square test to analyze whether water suppression rate and auto-shimming line width between fatty liver groups and non-fatty liver exist significance difference .Results By comparing WS ≥90% (n=47)group with WS < 90% (n=10) group, the former showed smaller average height[(164.7±8.0) and (170.5±3.7) cm respectively], weight[(61.8±10.4) and (73.4±5.4) kg respectively], BMI [(22.7±3.2) and (25.2±1.3)kg/m2 respectively]and LW[(17.7±3.7)and(24.6±6.3) Hz respectively]than the latter (t=-3.488,-3.415,-4.002 and-3.327, P < 0.05).By comparing LW 20 Hz (n=41) group with LW 20 Hz (n=16) group, the former showed better water suppression rate [(93.0±2.7)% and (86.1±8.5)% respectively]than the latter(t=3.213,P <0.05), whereas larger weight[(62.2±11.6) and (68.1±6.1)kg respectively]and BMI[(22.8±3.4) and (24.2±1.9)kg/m2 respectively](t=-2.516,-2.024,P <0.05).LW≤20 Hz in the fatty liver and non-fatty liver group was 7/17 and 34/40, respectively (X2=11.347, P < 0.05).WS < 90% in the fatty liver and non-fatty liver group was 10/17 and 0/44, respectively (X2=28.536, P < 0.05) .Conclusion Hepatic steatosis exerts an adverse effect in water suppression and shimming.

Objective To compare the clinical application of Da Vinci robot surgical system (RSS) with traditional open surgery (TOS).Methods From Feb 2015 to Jul 2016,48 cases of upper abdominal surgical disease patients were divided into RSS group (23 cases) and TOS group (25 patients) randomly.Results The anesthesia time [(194 ±16)min vs.(181 ±11)min,t=3.262,P=0.002] and operation time [(167 ± 14) min vs.(158 ± 14) min,t =2.292,P =0.027] were much longer in the RSS,while the blood loss during operation significantly less than the TOS [(128 ± 62) ml vs.(190 ± 86) ml,t =-2.886,P =0.006].The RSS has obvious advantages in 24 h-drainage [(69 ± 27) ml vs.(114 ± 54) ml.t =-3.680,P =0.001],time to out-of-bed activity [(27.7 ± 8.0) h vs.(35.7 ± 9.9) h,t =-3.067,P =0.004],BPS,postoperative exhausting time[(27.2 ±5.9)h vs.(32.8 ±8.3)h,t =-2.690,P =0.01] and length of hospital stay [(10.4 ± 1.8) d vs.(11.8 ± 1.9) d,t =-2.600,P =0.013].But the total hospital cost was higher in RSS [(117 000 ± 10 000) yuan vs.(77 000 ± 8 000) yuan,t =15.087,P =0.000)].Conclusions The RSS is a much minimally invasive surgery,reducing blood loss and postoperative pain,promoting rapid recovery,shortening hospital stay.

To investigate the effects of curcumin on mitochondrial dysfunction induced by high glucose(40 mmol/L glucose, 24 h)in L6 cells, curcumin(10, 20, 40 μmol/L)was administered for 24 h after high glucose culture. The effects of curcumin on the mitochondrial dysfunction were evaluated by mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species(ROS), ATP content and mtDNA copy number. The mRNA and protein expression of uncoupling protein 2(UCP2), PPARγ coactivator 1α(PGC-1α)and sirtuin-1(Sirt3)were also determined. As improvement of high glucose damage, curcumin significantly raised mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP content, and decreased ROS level. Curcumin significantly ameliorated the down regulation of UCP2 yet with little effect on mtDNA copy number and PGC-1α and Sirt3 expression. In conclusion, curcumin could significantly ameliorate mitochondrial dysfunction in L6 cells induced by high glucose, which involved the mechanism of multiple antioxidants.

Objective To investigate the expression of PD-1 on CD4 +and CD8 + T cells in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B(CHB)treated with telbivudine.Methods Fifty-six HBeAg-positive CHB patients admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during January 201 3 and June 201 4 were enrolled in this study.The expression of PD-1 on CD4 +and CD8 + T cells was detected with flow cytometry at baseline,24,48 and 72 wks after telbivudine treatment.The relationship of PD-1 expression with alanine aminotransferase (ALT)level,HBeAg seroconversion and HBV DNA loads was analyzed.t test and completely random variance analysis were used to analyze the data.Results The PD-1 expression on CD4 + and CD8 + T cells at baseline was higher in patients with low ALT levels compared to those with high ALT levels(t =1 2.20 and 9.69,both P <0.01 ),while higher levels of PD-1 expression was also observed in patients with high HBV DNA load (≥5 lgIU /mL)compared to those with low HBV DNA load (t =4.39 and 4.85,both P <0.01 ).PD-1 levels on CD4 + and CD8 + T cells presented a declining trend after telbivudine treatment(F =6.98 and 8.97,both P <0.01 ),PD-1 expression in patients with HBeAg seroconversion showed lower levels compared with baseline values (t =1 8.45 and 1 8.01 ,both P <0.01 ). Conclusion In HBeAg-positive CHB patients,the expression of PD-1 on CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes shows a decreasing trend during the treatment with telbivudine,indicating that antiviral therapy may alleviate the immunosuppression in these patients.

The potential antiviral and anti-inflammatory mechanism of Anti-601 Mixture, a traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation, was studied by network pharmacology and molecular docking. The chemical constituents and targets of astragali radix, phellodendri chinensis cortex, rhei radix et rhizome, isatidis radix and lonicerae japonicae flos in Anti-601 Mixture were searched by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). The genes corresponding to the target were searched through the UniProt database, and the drug-compound-target (gene) network was constructed by Cytoscape 3.7.2. Then the functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were conducted through Webgestalt to predict the mechanism. The network of drug-compound-target (gene) contained 5 drugs, 100 compounds and 207 targets. Functional enrichment analysis resulted in 717 GO items (P≤0.05), among which 240 were biological process (BP) items, 240 were cell composition (CC) items, and 237 were molecular function (MF) items. The 209 signaling pathways were obtained by enrichment screening of KEGG pathway (P≤0.05). Molecular docking showed that the active ingredients of Anti-601 Mixture, such as Stigmasterol, quercetin, luteolin, acacetin, β-sitosterol, kaempferol,had strong affinity with PTGS2 target. Active compounds in Anti-601 Mixture may regulate multiple signaling pathways including advanced glycation end products and its receptor (AGE-RAGE), IL-17, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) through target of prostaglandin-endoperoxidase synthase 2(PTGS2), thus playing an antiviral and anti-inflammatory role.

The effect of the anti-inflammatory flavonoid chrysin on osteogenesis was determined in preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells. Results demonstrated that chrysin could induce osteogenic differentiation in the absence of other osteogenic agents. Chrysin treatment promoted the expression of transcription factors (Runx2 and Osx) and bone formation marker genes (Col1A1, OCN, and OPN) as well as enhanced the formation of mineralized nodules. During osteogenic differentiation, chrysin preferentially activated ERK1/2, but not JNK nor the p38 MAPKs. Further experiments with inhibitors revealed the co-treatment of U0126, PD98059, or ICI182780 (a general ER antagonist) with chrysin effectively abrogated the chrysin-induced osteogenesis and ERK1/2 activation. Thus, the effect of chrysin on osteogenesis is ERK1/2-dependent and involves ER. Therefore, chrysin has the significant potential to enhance osteogenesis for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.
