Objective To investigate the influence of arsenic trioxide (AS2 O3 )in the vasculogenic mimicry (VM ) of HepG2 cells, and to preliminary clarify the possible mechanism of inhibition of AS2 O3 on the VM. Methods Themean inhibitory concentration (IC50 )of AS2 O3 72 h after treatment of HepG2 cells was calculated by CCK-8 assay.The HepG2 cells were cultured on 3-D Matrigel and randomly divided into control group, 1/2 IC50 AS2 O3 group and IC50 AS2 O3 group.IPP software was used to calculate the number,length and area of VM,and the expression levels of VM-related proteins VE-cadherin and MMP-2, apoptotic-related protein caspase-3 and proliferation-related protein PCNA were detected by Western blotting method.Results The IC50 of AS2 O3 was 10μmol·L-1 72 h after treatment of HepG2 cells.The number,length and area of VM in 1/2 IC50 and IC50 AS2 O3 groups were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01);the number,length and area of VM in IC50 AS2 O3 group were also lower than those in 1/2 IC50 AS2 O3 group (P<0.05).Compared with control group,the expression levels of VE-cadherin and MMP-2 in 1/2 IC50 and IC50 AS2 O3 groups were decreased (P<0.05),and the expression levels of caspase-3 and PCNA had no significant change (P>0.05).Conclusion AS2 O3 can inhibit the forming of VM of HepG2 cells,which indicated that its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the expressions of VE-cadherin and MMP-2 .

Objective We evaluated the molecular epidemiology ofStenotrophomonas maltophilia strains in adult patients in Renji Hospital to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine for better control ofS.maltophilia infections.Methods Nonduplicate clinical isolates of S.maltophilia were collected from Renji Hospital from January 2014 to September 2014.We examined the clonality among the S.maltophilia isolates by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).Antimicrobial resistance pattern was investigated by Kirby-Bauer method and prevalence of toxin genes (Stmpr1,Stmpr2,stmr-1,Smlt3773locus) by PCR.We also studied the biofilm formation of S.maltophilia by semiquantitative biofilm formation test.Results A total of 78 nonduplicate S.maltophilia isolates were analyzed,of which 26 were isolated from surgical intensive care unit,and 53 strains were from male patients.All patients infected by S.maltophilia had received antibiotic therapy before the strains were isolated.At least three kinds of antibiotics were used in 62.8％ of the patients.MLST analysis indicated that 49 isolates were assigned novel STs(STnewl-STnew38),with new combinations of allelic profiles.The largest cluster of isolates was ST23 (6 strains).PFGE showed that there was weak genetic linkage between S.maltophilia strains.The 78 isolates were divided into 58 groups.About 2.6％ (2/78) and 10.3％ (8/78) of these strains were resistant to levofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,respectively.All the strains were susceptible to minocycline.The prevalence of virulence genes Stmprl,Stmpr2,snf-1 and Smlt3773 locus was 79.5％ (62/78),93.6％ (73/78),94.9％ (74/78) and 48.7％ (38/78),respectively.Biofilm formation test indicated that the mean ability of biofilm formation was 0.51±0.44 in terms of D492.There was no significant difference between males and females.Conclusions All patients with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection had a history of antibiotic use and male patients were susceptible population.Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates showed high prevalence of virulence genes.No clonal dissemination was found in the same department of hospital.

Objective To study the effect of transfection of livin antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (Livin ASODN) on Livin mRNA and Livin protein expression and proliferation of QBC939 cells.Methods Livin ASODN was transfected into cell line QBC939 by LipofectamineTM 2000. Fluorescence microscopy was used to observe the ASODN transfected cells and to calculate the rate of transfection.to measure Livin mRNA and Livin protein expression by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry and con-focal laser scanning microscopy after the transfection. Changes in cell proliferation were detected by MTT. Results The highest efficiency was at 24 hours after 500 nmol/L Livin ASODN transfection.The results of MTT showed that the inhibition of cell proliferation of QBC939 cells was most obvious at 60 hours after Livin ASODN transfection (P<0. 05). The level of Livin mRNA and Livin protein expression in the ASODN group was obviously lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05).Conclusion The transfection of Livin ASODN inhibited Livin gene and Livin protein expression, and obviously inhibited the proliferation and depressed the vitality of QBC939 cells.

Objective To observe the effect of continuous incision infusion different concentra-tion of ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia after radical mastectomy.Methods One hundred pa-tients under radical mastectomy,aged 40-70 years,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomly divided into four groups (n =25 each):0.2% (group R1),0.3% (group R2),0.4% (group R3)ropivacaine incision continued infiltration group and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (group PCIA)as control group.VAS pain scores,sedation Ramsay score and side effects were recorded at each time point in rest and turning over 90°,2 h (T1 ),4 h (T2 ),8 h (T3 ),12 h (T4 ),24 h (T5 ),48 h (T6 )after the operation.Results VAS scores in group R1 at T1-T6 in rest and turn over 90°were significantly high-er than that of group PCIA (P <0.05).There were no significant differences among the group PCIA, group R2 and group R3.Sedation score in PCIA group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups (P <0.05),and the adverse reactions,such as nausea and vomiting,in group PCIA (2 cases)were more serious than that in the other groups (0 cases ).There were no significant differences among the other groups.Conclusion Ropivacaine plays an effective role in infiltration an-algesia when its concentration reaches 0.3% subcutaneous after radical mastectomy.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of subarachnoid hemorrhagic moyamoya disease and the therapeutic effect of encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS). Methods The clinical and imaging data of 38 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhagic moyamoya disease admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery,the 307th Hospital of PLA from January 2002 to April 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Thirty-five patients underwent unilateral or bilateral EDAS (64-sides underwent EDAS,4 patients with aneurysms underwent endovascular embolization first),and 3 patients did not undergo any surgery. Results (1)Subarachnoid hemorrhagic moyamoya disease accounted for 10. 8%(38/353)of all the hemorrhagic moyamoya disease admitted in hospital over the same period,including 37 adults and 1 child. The male to female ratio was 1∶3. 22 (9/29),and the age of onset was 12 to 59 years. The mean age of patients was 39 ± 11 years. Four patients were combined with aneurysms. There were no significant differences in the distribution of Suzuki stage,anterior choroidal artery dilatation and posterior communicating artery dilatation in the remaining 34 patients without aneurysms between the bleeding sides and non-bleeding sides (P>0.05). (2 ) The patients were followed up for 13 -125 months (mean 51 ± 27 months ),two patients had rebleeding,one of them was intraventricular hemorrhage,the other was parenchymal hemorrhage. The postoperative modified Rankin score (mRS)was significantly lower in 35 patients whom were treated with EDAS. Compared with before surgery,there was significant difference (P<0. 05). The re-examination of positron emission tomography (PET)for 16 patients at 3 to 19 months after surgery showed that among the 23 surgically treated hemispheres,the cerebral metabolisms of 17 hemispheres were improved after surgery, and 6 did not have any change after surgery. The re-examination of whole brain digital subtraction angiography (DSA)at 5 to 30 months after surgery in 13 patients showed that revascularizations in 19 of 23 surgical hemispheres were effective. Conclusion Subarachnoid hemorrhagic moyamoya disease often occurs in adults,and women are more common. EDAS can achieve good revascularization effect and improve brain metabolism of patients,and thus relieve the symptoms of cerebral ischemia.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of soluble β-1, 3-D-glucan in G-test positive serum in inhibiting ROS-dependent killing of Candida albicans ( C.albicans ) mediated by neutrophil Dectin-1.Methods The expression and distribution of internalized Dectin-1 and triggered ROS in human neutrophils were detected by using confocal/two-photon laser scanning microscopy upon stimulation with C.albicans (MOI=10) which was pretreated with β-1, 3-D-glucanase (10 U/ml) or not.Abrogation test was used to analyze whether intracellular Dectin-1 was involved in C.albicans-triggered ROS production in human neutrophils.Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis was performed to detect the expression of intracel-lular Dectin-1 and ROS in neutrophils which were pretreated respectively with G-test positive serum at differ-ent dilutions for 60 min and then stimulated with C.albicans for another 60 min at 37℃.Results After stimulated with C.albicans (MOI=10) for 60 min, the expression of Dectin-1 in neutrophils was recruited to the spores of opsonophagocytized C.albicans, and partly co-localized with the triggered ROS production . However, the expression of intracellular Dectin-1 was not observed in neutrophils when stimulated with β-1, 3-D-glucanase pretreated C.albicans for 60 min at 37℃.Abrogation test further showed that C.albicans-trig-gered ROS production in neutrophils was partly and irreversibly inhibited by adding Dectin -1 blocking mAb of 5 μg/ml.In addition , both the triggered expression of intracellular Dectin-1 and ROS production in neu-trophils stimulated with C.albicans ( MOI=10 ) in the presence of G-test positive serum were significantly lower than those of neutrophils stimulated only with C.albicans (LSD-t test, P<0.01).Linear regression a-nalysis suggested that the triggered intracellular Dectin-1 and ROS production in neutrophils upon stimulation with C.albicans were both inhibited by soluble β-1, 3-D-glucan in a dose-dependent manner (Dectin-1,R2=0.702,P<0.01;ROS,R2=0.588,P<0.01 ).Conclusion Taken together, these results demonstrated that the soluble β-1, 3-D-glucan in G-test positive serum may play a role in inhibiting the ROS-dependent killing of C.albicans by interfering with internalized expression of neutrophil Dectin-1.
