Objective To explore the influence of tranexamic acid used in different modes in total hip arthroplasty (T HA ) blood loss by control experiment .Methods 60 patients accepted total hip arthroplasty from orthopaedics in our hospital were se‐lected between March 2010 to August 2013 ,among them femoral neck fracture were 47 cases and 13 cases were osteonecrosis .aged between 45‐82 years old ,and 62 in average .All gave unilateral total hip arthroplasty .All patients were divided into three groups ,A group(contradistinction group) ,B ,C group(experiment group) .each groups include 6 men and 14 women ,no revision surgery pa‐tients .For group A ,100 mL normal saline was dripped both in half on hour before surgery and 3 hours after surgery ;For group B , tranexamic acid diluted in 100 mL normal saline according to 10 mg/kg was dripped half on hour before surgery ,100 mL normal sa‐line was dripped 3 hour after surgery ;For group C ,tranexamic acid diluted in 100 mL normal saline according to 10 mg/kg was dripped both half on hour before surgery and 3 hour after surgery .Compute and record the visible blood cell loss and hidden blood loss ,the comparative analysis was conducted to discuss the effectiveness and safety of tranexamic acid used in the two methods .Re‐sults The visible blood cell loss in each group were (196 .20 ± 44 .45)mL ,(114 .84 ± 35 .21)mL and (104 .47 ± 30 .01)mL ;hidden blood loss in each group were:(614 .50 ± 98 .41)mL ,(425 .74 ± 70 .01)mL and (337 .12 ± 52 .23)mL .Conclusion In the unilateral total hip arthroplasty ,the use of tranexamic acid can significantly reduce a significant amount of visible and hidden blood loss .Com‐pared with tranexamic acid dripped just half one hour before surgery ,dripping tranexamic acid both half one hour before surgery and 3 hour after surgery reduced more hidden blood loss ,decreased transfusion requirement ,and this does not significantly increase the risk of deep venous thrombosis .

Background Oxidative stress is thought to be responsible to diabetes-complicated cataract.Our previous study demonstrated that as an iron chelator,deferiprone can protect lens from oxidative damage.Objective This further study aimed to investigate the role of deferiprone on the formation of diabetic-complicated cataract.Methods Forty 6-week-old Wistar rats were included in the study and randomized into 4 groups.Eight of them were used as the normal control group.Diabetes mellitus animal models were established in 22 rats by the carbonhydratediet and fat diet and the intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg streptozocin (STZ).The deferiprone of 50 mg and 100 mg were intragastrically given in 8 model rats respectively after 3 days once a day for 8 weeks.The opacification of lenses was examined under the slit lamp weekly after treatment.The animals were sacrificed and the lenses were obtained at the eighth week of deferiprone injection.The concentrations of water-soluble protein ( WSP),urine-soluble protein (USP) and alkali-soluble protein (ASP) in rat lens suspension were detected by Bradford method.The super oxide dimutese (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) were determined spectrometically using xanthine oxidase,thiobarbituric acid,dithio bis-nitrobenzoic acid.Results No evidently differences were found in the content of the WSP,USP and ASP among the these groups( F=1.73,0.18,0.09,P＞0.05).The contents of MDA in 50 mg deferiprone group and 100 mg deferiprone group were ( 1.05 ± 0.10 ) mmol/g and ( 1.05 ± 0.22 ) mmol/g respectively,showing a significant decline in comparison with diabetic model group (P＜0.05).The SOD and GSH contents in lens were (321.29±16.57) U/mg,(322.07±22.16) U/mg and (7.83±0.65 ) mg/g,(7.70±0.77 ) mg/g respectively in 50 mg deferiprone group and 100 mg deferiprone group and were considerably elevated in comparison with ( 298.70± 14.69 ) U/mg and ( 5.47 ± 1.01 ) mg/g of diabetic model groups ( P＜0.05 ).No significant differences were found in the indexes mentioned above between 50 mg and 100 mg deferiprone groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions Deferiprone can reduce oxidative stress and improve the energy metabolism of the lens in diabetic rats.

Early diagnosis of acute rejection is of significance for the protection of renal allograft function. Pathological puncture biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of acute rejection of renal allografts. Nevertheless, it may provoke multiple complications, such as bleeding, infection and renal parenchymal injury, which limit its widespread application. In recent years, the sensitivity of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute rejection has been constantly improved. Ultrasound-targeted microbubble technique has further enhanced the diagnostic specificity of contrast-enhanced ultrasound, making it possible to replace pathological puncture biopsy. Besides, in the field of acute rejection treatment, microbubble ultrasonic cavitation may promote local delivery of immunosuppressants by inducing sonoporation and exhibit anti-rejection effect. In this article, the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of acute rejection after kidney transplantation was reviewed, aiming to provide reference for widespread application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in kidney transplantation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the cell viabilities of vascular smooth muscle cells and vascular endothelial cells stimulated by cigarette smoke extract(CSE) .

METHODSThe CSE was prepared by smoke-bubbled phosphate buffered saline(PBS) generation.After culturing cells with different concentrations of CSE, we used the cell counting kit-8 to determine the cell viability.The expression levels of c-jun and cyclinD1 were analyzed through Western blot.The c-jun plasmid was transfected to detect the change of cyclinD1 expression.

RESULTSThe smooth muscle cell viability increased when the CSE concentration ranged 0.625%-10%, whereas the endothelial cells viability decreased when exposed to the CSE concentration. After exposure to CSE for 48 hours, there was no difference in c-jun expression between toxin group and PBS group;however, the expression of p-c-jun in the smooth muscle cells significantly increased in the toxin groups than in the PBS group(P<0.05) and the expression of p-c-jun in the vascular endothelial cells significantly decreased(P<0.05) . The level of cyclinD1 significantly increased after exposed to CSE, and its expression level also increased in respond to the c-jun overexpression.

CONCLUSIONCSE can enhance the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and decrease in the activity of endothelial cells proliferation, which may be explained by the phosphorylation of c-jun and the expression of cyclinD1.

OBJECTIVETo establish a nude mouse model of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) lymph node metastasis and screen the signature genes associated with the metastasis.

METHODSThe NPC 5-8F-EGFP cells were inoculated into nude mice, from which a 5-8F-LN cell line with lymph node metastasis potential was obtained. The lymphatic metastasis-related signature genes of breast cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were screened by data mining method.

RESULTSThe NPC cell lines 5-8F and 6-10B showed 307 differentially expressed genes by microarray analysis, from which 20 overlapping genes were identified, and 3 overexpressed genes were found with probable metastasis potential, namely the ADM, IRF1, and CAV1 genes. Quantitative RT-PCR validated the data mining results in the 5-8F-EGFP, 6-10B-EGFP, NP69, and 5-8F-LN cell lines. The 3 NPC cell lines 5-8F-EGFP, 6-10B-EGFP and 5-8F-LN showed significantly higher expressions of IRF1 than NP69 cells (P=0.008, 0.022, and 0.006, respectively. The expression level of CAV1 in 5-8F-EGFP cells was significantly higher than that in 6-10B-EGFP cells (P=0.014), but ADM expression showed no significant difference between the 4 cell lines.

CONCLUSIONSIRF1 may play an important role in the progression of NPC. The overexpression of CAV1 in 5-8F-EGFP cells can be associated with the high metastatic potential of the cells.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the immunological mechanism of allergic dermatitis induced by trichloroethylene (TCE).

METHODSThe guinea pig model of TCE-induced allergic dermatitis was established by Guinea pig Maximization Test. The effects of TCE and its metabolites on splenic lymphocytes of TCE-sensitized and non-sensitized guinea pig were detected by MTT assay.

RESULTSFor TCE-sensitized guinea pig, the survival rate of lymphocytes cultured with TCE (+S9) was significantly higher than that cultured with TCE (-S9) (83.0% +/- 3.4% vs 75.9% +/- 7.9%, P < 0.01), while, for normal animals, the survival rate of lymphocytes cultured with TCE (+S9) was significantly lower than that cultured with TCE (-S9) (63.4% +/- 8.4% vs 77.0% +/- 7.2%, P < 0.01). The survival rate of lymphocytes cultured with TCE (+S9) in TCE-sensitized animals was higher than that in normal animals (83.0% +/- 3.4% vs 63.4% +/- 8.4%, P < 0.05), but no statistically significant difference was found for TCE (-S9) (75.9% +/- 7.9% vs 77.0% +/- 7.2%, P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCytotoxicity of TCE to normal lymphocytes and proliferation of sensitized lymphocytes were enhanced by metabolic activation. The metabolites of TCE may act as effective immune hapten to stimulate the proliferation of hapten-specific lymphocytes in TCE-sensitized animals.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of galectin-3 on proliferation and apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells.

METHODSRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of galectin-3 in hepatic stellate cells. Short hairpin DNA targeting galectin-3 of rat was was ligated into the recombinant vector pGCsilencer U6/Neo/GFP/shRNA plasmid. Then the plasmid was transfected into rat hepatic stellate cells. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the interfering efficiency. Cell proliferation level was observed by CCK8 method at 24, 48 and 72 hours after transfection. Cell apoptosis was measured by Annexin V/PI-labeled flow cytometric analysis.

RESULTSExpression of galectin-3 in HSC was verified by both RT-PCR and Western blot. The recombinant vector was successfully constructed and verified, and was transfected into rat hepatic stellate cells. Western Blot and RT-PCR results demonstrated that the expression level of Galectin-3 was significantly down-regulated in galectin-3 shRNA transfected cells compared to control vector transferred cells. CCK8 assay indicated that proliferation of Galectin-3 knockdown cells was lower than that of control cells 48 and 72 hours post-transfection. Apoptotic cells in shRNA-interfering group were higher than those in control group both in early stage and advanced stage.

CONCLUSIONHepatic stellate cells can express galectin-3. Inhibition of galectin-3 using RNAi technique can suppress proliferation and induce apoptosis in HSC.
