BACKGROUND: Nowadays, fish collagen biomedical materials still exhibit obvious deficiency in thermal stability,in vivo degradation stability and in vivo material morphology stability. To expand the application of fish source collagen, it is urgent to improve the material performance by increasing the density and collagen molecule tightness of freshwater fish collagen sponge materials using technique methods.OBJECTIVE: To optimize the reconstitute process for nasopore preparation using fish scale collagen.METHODS: The optimal process for nasopore preparation through the reconstitution of fish scale collagen was ascertained by taking tilapia fish skin as a raw material to extract enzymatic soluble collagen at a temperature lower than the collagen denaturation temperature and recombinant rate of collagen fibers as index. Optimization of the conditions for nasopore preparation was carried out using single factor test and orthogonal test. The prepared nasopore was analyzed through infrared spectroscopy and microstructure analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimal conditions for nasopore preparation were determined through the single factor test and orthogonal test as follows: 20 ℃ for 10 hours at pH 7.4 using a mixture of 65 mmol/L NaCl and 1 g/L collagen, by which the reconstitute rate of collagen fibers was up to 68.6%. The prepared nasopore is characterized by a refined porous structure constituted by threadlike collagen fibers, and has complete three-dimensional spiral structure,which is a potential intracavitary hemostatic material with fine properties.

Objective:Hyperoxia is a necessary therapy in some neonatal diseases, and long-term therapeutic hyperoxia may induce severe damaging effects on intestinal epithelial cells.The aim of this study was to investigate whether hyperoxia could promote the expression of ASK1 and P38 in intestinal epithelial cells through ROS.Methods:The human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 cells were treated with different concentrations of H 2O 2(100 μmol/L, 200 μmol/L and 400 μmol/L)and 85% oxygen in vitro.The expression of ASK1 was detected by immunofluorescence, and the expression of P38 and p-P38 were detected by Western Blot and Real-time PCR. Results:With the increase of H 2O 2 concentration, the fluorescence intensity of ASK1 increased.The fluorescence intensity of ASK1 in the hyperoxia group was significantly stronger than that of the control group and the H 2O 2 groups.With the increase of H 2O 2 concentration(100 μmol/L、200 μmol/L、400 μmol/L), the expression of P38 protein(0.21±0.02, 0.28±0.13, 0.44±0.07)and p-P38 protein(0.09±0.02, 0.19±0.03, 0.37±0.07)gradually increased.The expression of P38 mRNA in 200 μmol/L and 400 μmol/L H 2O 2 groups(4.03±0.68、3.94±0.71)was significantly higher than that in 100 μmol/L H 2O 2 group(3.05±0.47)( P<0.01). The expressions of P38 protein, p-P38 protein and P38 mRNA in the hyperoxia group were significantly higher than those in the H 2O 2 group( P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the expressions of P38 protein, p-P38 protein and p38 mRNA in the hyperoxia group and H 2O 2 groups increased significantly( P<0.01). Conclusion:The expression of ASK1 and P38 in intestinal epithelial cells increased significantly under hyperoxia, which indicated that hyperoxia might activate ASK1 and thereby regulate the expression of downstream P38 through ROS, resulting in intestinal epithelial cells damage.

Objective To observe the effect of Jianpi Buxue Decoction on the protein expression of neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) and CD34 in C57BL/6 mice of lung cancer after chemotherapy, and to explore the improvement of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and myelosuppression treated with Jianpi Buxue Decoction. Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice were transplanted with Lewis lung cancer cells in the armpit of left anterior limb after being fed for 7 days, and then were randomly divided into lung cancer group, model group, and high-, middle- and low-dose Chinese medicine groups. Model group and Chinese medicine groups were injected intraperitoneally with cyclophosphamide (80 mg/kg) for one day. Lung cancer group and model group were given normal saline. Chinese medicine groups were administered with high-, middle- and low-dose of Jianpi Buxue Decoction (25, 12.6, 6.25 g/kg respectively) for 14 days. After the modeling, all of the mice were sacrificed, and then the brains and spleens were sampled. Western blotting method was used to detect the protein expression of NK1R and CD34. Results Compared with lung cancer group, the protein expression of cerebral NK1R and splenic CD34 in the model group was increased significantly ( P<0.01) . Compared with the model group, the protein expression of NK1R in mice brain tissues of high-, middle- and low- dose Jianpi Buxue Decoction groups was decreased significantly (P<0.01) , while the protein expression of CD34 in spleen tissues of middle-and low-dose Jiangpi Buxue Decoction groups was increased obviously ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Jianpi Buxue Decoction has an effect on down-regulating the protein expression of NK1R in brain tissues and on up-regulating the protein expression of CD34 in spleen tissues of C57BL/6 mice with lung cancer after chemotherapy, indicating that Jianpi Buxue Decoction probably can relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and can improve the myelosuppression after chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the treatment failure sites, risk factors, and survival rates of patients with persistent or recur-rent squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix within one year after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Methods:Clinical data of 30 patients with persistent or recurrent SCC of the cervix within one year after CCRT between June 2006 and June 2011 were ana-lyzed retrospectively. These data were compared with those of another 35 SCC cases without recurrence after complete remission. These 35 patients were treated homeochronously (from 2006 to 2011) and randomized in the control group. Results:Among the 30 pa-tients, 25 exhibited distant metastases;14 of these 25 patients were observed within six months after CCRT. Univariate analysis showed a higher incidence of pelvic or para-aortic lymphadenectasis and SCC-ag>10 ng/mL in the group with persistent or recurrent disease be-fore treatment (P<0.01). Multivariate analysis by logistic regression revealed that the pre-therapeutic pelvic or para-aortic lymph node enlargement and SCC-ag>10 ng/mL were found as the independent risk factors. Palliative chemotherapy ranked as the first method used to treat patients. The two-year survival rate was 21.7%, and the median survival time was 17 months. Conclusion:Patients with persistent or recurrent SCC of the cervix after CCRT possibly exhibited a high rate of distant metastasis with poor prognosis. The pre-therapeutic pelvic or para-aortic lymph node enlargement and SCC-ag>10 ng/mL were found as the independent risk factors of per-sistent or recurrent SCC within one year after CCRT.
