Objective To examine the expression of potassium channel mRNA in myocardial tissue of mice with low selenium.Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups according to body weight(18-22 g),10 mice in each group,half male and half female.The low-selenium treatment groups were fed with low-selenium diet(selenium content was 0.004 mg/kg) for 4,12 and 24 weeks,respectively,and the control group was fed with normal diet(selenium content was 0.256 mg/kg).The mice were killed by cutting neck method,hearts were taken out and RNA was extracted by Trizol method.The expressions of potassium ion channel genes (KCNA4,KCND2,KCND3,KCNE1,KCNE2,KCNJ2,KCNJ12 and KCNQ1) at the mRNA level in heart were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction.Results In low-selenium 4 weeks group,the mRNA expressions of KCNA4 gene(25.3 ± 0.09) and KCND2 gene(4.85 ± 0.05) were higher than that of the control group (1.00 ± 0.00,1.00 ± 0.00,all P ＜ 0.05); in low-selenium 24 weeks group,the mRNA expression of KCNJ12 gene (22.7 ± 0.10) was higher than that of the control group(1.00 ± 0.00,P ＜ 0.05); the mRNA expressions of KCND3,KCNE1,KCNE2,KCNJ2,KCNQ1 genes were compared with the corresponding control groups,the differences were not statistically significant(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Low selenium can affect the mRNA expression of mouse cardiac potassium ion channel genes.

Objective To observe the influence of selenocysteine synthase(SEPSECS) on injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cell line EVC-304 induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Methods Transfection was conducted to transfect EVC-304 which was maintained in vitro. The cells were divided into four groups: control group, SEPSECS over-expression group, empty vector group and SEPSECS silenced expression group, then Real-time PCR and Western blotting were performed to detected SEPSECS mRNA and protein expression , respectively. Flow cytometry(FCM) was performed to detect cell cycle. Different concentrations of H2O2, which including 0, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1 000 μmol/L, were used to treat EVC-304 . Then malonaldehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD) secreted by the cells which were treated with H2O2 for 6 h, were checked by MDA or SOD kit. Results The SEPSECS mRNA expressions of control, SEPSECS silenced expression, empty vector and SEPSECS over-expression groups were 1.03 ± 0.24, 0.43 ± 0.11, 0.98 ± 0.27 and 1.61 ± 0.13, respectively. The protein expressions of control, SEPSECS silenced expression, empty vector and SEPSECS over-expression groups were 1.00 ± 0.26, 0.51 ± 0.10, 1.12 ± 0.38 and 1.51 ± 0.20, respectively. There was a significant difference between control and SEPSECS silenced expression groups (all P<0.05), at the same time , this phenomenon was also observed between empty vector and SEPSECS over-expression groups (all P<0.05). The level of MDA was increased along with the H2O2 concentration. Besides, cell cycle was also tested, however, significant difference was not observed(all P > 0.05). Meanwhile, MDA of SEPSECS silenced expression groups[(15.8 ± 0.5),(19.6 ± 1.5)μmol/L] were significantly higher than control groups[(12.4 ± 0.1),(17.1 ± 0.5)μmol/L, all P < 0.05], on the other hand, MDA of SEPSECS over-expression groups[(10.8 ± 0.4),(14.2 ± 1.1)μmol/L] were lower than empty vector groups [(12.7 ± 0.7),(16.2 ± 1.1)μmol/L, all P < 0.05], when the H2O2 concentration was 800 or 1 000μmol/L. The level of SOD was decreased along with the H2O2 concentration. SOD of SEPSECS silenced expression groups[(7.7 ± 0.4),(2.4 ± 0.3)μmol/L] were lower than control groups[(10.0 ± 1.0),(6.0 ± 0.6)μmol/L, all P < 0.05], on the contrary, SOD of SEPSECS over-expression groups[(11.3 ± 0.6),(12.7 ± 1.6)μmol/L] were higher than empty vector groups[(9.2 ± 0.6),(6.7 ± 0.2)μmol/L, all P < 0.05], when the H2O2 concentration was 800 or 1 000μmol/L. Conclusion Expression of SEPSECS has a significant protective role on damaged EVC-304 which was induced by H2O2.

The appendix has been reported to be a very rare leading point in intussusception with an incidence of 0.01% in surgical and postmortem specimens. In many cases it was developed by secondary conditions, such as polyps, carcinomas, or mucoceles. Some other cases had none of the initiating causes. Therefore, making an accurate diagnosis is important in providing the optimal treatment for the patient. Here, the author presents an appendiceal intussusception case of a 37-year-old male patient whose vermiform appendix had none of the initiating causes. The preoperative diagnosis was an appendiceal mucocele, but an appendiceal intussusception was detected after the operation. The patient was managed with a laparoscopic partial cecectomy and has been followed up.

Objective To compare different Nrf2 expressions in glioblastoma cell lines and glioma stem cells (GSCs) from xenografts and to study the concentration of Nrf2 in nuclear. Methods GSCs were analyzed by immunofluorescence and different expressions of Nrf2 in glioblastoma cell lines and GSCs from xenografts were detected with real-time RCR and Western. Results GSCs were successfully isolated from xenografts of U251 and U87 cell lines. The percentage of tumor stem cells in total cells was 1.24%, and that was 1.63% in xenografts. Immunofluorescence indicated that Nrf2 was overexpressed in GSCs as compared with that in glioblastoma cell lines. Conclusion Nrf2 may be a potential biomarker and rational therapeutic target for GSCs.

Results:The patients have been followed up for 2-13 years.According to Engel's classification,the achieved outcomes were seizure-free in 22(65 %) patients,apparently improved in 3(9 %) patients,improved in 3(9 %) patients,no effect in 2(6 %) patients,and lost of follow-up in 4(12 %) patients,respectively. Conclusion:Surgical treatment to pediatric intractable temporal epilepsy is safe and effective.The most common pathological causes for pediatric epilepsy are tumor and hippocampus sclerosis.Early surgery of pediatric temporal epilepsy could improve the life qualities of patients.

Objective To study the antitumor activity of Xerophilusin G on S180 cells,and Its mechanism.Methods Modified MTT assay was used to test the effect of Xerophilusin G on the proliferation of S180 tumor cell strain.The influences on tumor growth and immune organs of mice with transplanted sarcoma (S180) were observed.The cell cycle of S180 cell lines and mouse sarcoma (S180) was analyzed by flow cytometry.The lymphocyte proliferation activity of spleen stimulating was tested.The level of IL-2 in serum of mice with transplanted sarcoma (S180) was measured by ELISA.Results The IC50 of Xerophilusin G in S180 cell lines was 19.80 μg·mL-1,the LD50 in mouse for Xerophilusin G was 121.11 mg·kg-1 through intraperitoneal injection.The tumor inhibition rate of Xerophilusin G was 32.11％ and 41.60％,respectively at the doses of 3 and 6 mg · kg-1 (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control,the thymus,kidney and cardiac index were decreased.The cell proportion at G0/G1 phase of mouse sarcoma (S180) was increased.T and B cell proliferation activities in tumor-bearing mice were enhanced (P ＜ 0.05).As compared with control group,the serum level of IL-2 was decreased 90.9％ and 77.1％ in low-and medium-dose groups,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Xerophilusin G has remarkable effects in sarcoma (S180) bearing mice.The antitumor mechanism of Xerophilusin G might be related with G0/G1 phase arrest of mouse sarcoma (S180) cells and enhancing the activity of T and B cell but not related with increasing the secreting of IL-2.

Objective:To explore the classification and the choice of surgical approach for tentorial meningiomas. Methods: 56 patients with tentorial meningiomas operated on between 1992 and 2002 were retrospectively analysed. According to Gkalp , there were 28 cases with medial tumor,17 cases with lateral tumor,11 cases with falcotentorial tumor. The tumors developing mainly supratentorial were approached from modified pteronal, subtemporal, temporooccipital or occipital craniotomy. For tumors developing mainly in the posterior cranial fossa, suboccipital craniectomy or combined occipital- suboccipital craniectomy was performed. The tumors developing both supratentorial and infratentorial the subtemporal-presigmoidal craniotomy were approached . Results: Total removal was achieved in 53 cases and partial removal in 3 cases. Two cases died of severe postoperative complications. The mortality rate was 3.6%. Five had additional neurological deficits postoperatively. Recurrences occurred in 6 cases. Conclusion: Surgical approach for tentorial meningiomas must be individualized for each case. The operators must master well about microanatomy of the tentorium and its specifically regional structures and expertly use microsurgical techniques for obtaining successful surgery and good outcome.
