OBJECTIVE To investigate the cytotoxic activity of Arca subcrenata Lischke anticancer protein(ASAP)constituents on human myeloid leukemia K562 cells in vitro and analyze its anticancer mechanisms. METHODS ASAP was extracted by low temperature water and ammonium sulfate precipitation. Protein concentration of ASAP was detected by Bradford method. Morphological changes of cultured K562 cells treated with ASAP were observed under the inverted phase-contrast micro?scope. The cell and nucleus changes were analyzed by Giemsa staining. The cytotoxicity of ASAP on K562 cells was detected by MTT assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis and cell cycle of K562 cells treated with ASAP. The expression of apoptosis and cell cycle related proteins procaspase 3, caspase 3,P53 and programmed cell death 4(PDCD4)were analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS ASAP exhibited significant cytotoxic effect on K562 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The concentration-effect correlation coefficient of ASAP 50,100 and 200 mg · L-1 on K562 cells for 24, 48 and 72 h was 0.851,0.8977 and 0.8997,respectively. Under an optical microscope,K562 cells showed cytomorphosis,or nuclear fragmentation after treatment with ASAP 200 mg · L-1 for 48 h. Flow cytometry analysis and Giemsa staining assay indicated that apoptotic cells increased and G2/M phase cells accumulated significantly with the increase of ASAP concentration. After treatment with ASAP 200 mg · L-1 for 48 h,the early and late apoptosis cell rate increased to(32.8 ± 0.1)%and(31.2 ± 2.2)%vs control group(3.7 ± 1.1)% and (9.9 ± 0.8)%(P<0.01),respectively,and the G2/M phase cells increased to (55.2 ± 1.7)% vs (15.3 ± 0.8)% in control group(P<0.01). After treatment with ASAP 200 mg · L-1 for 0-40 h,the expression of apoptotic protein procaspase 3 was down-regulated and its active form caspase 3 was significantly up-regulated at 32 h,while PDCD4 and P53 protein expression was down-regulated significantly in 0-40 h. CONCLUSION Apoptosis and cell cycle arrest induced in G2/M phase may account for ASAP cytotoxic activity to K562 cells. K562 cell apoptosis induced by ASAP depends on caspase 3 signal pathway. Down-regulated expression of PDCD4 and P53 proteins may be related to K562 cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase by ASAP.

Objective To investigate the effects of TNF-?,IL-12,IL-15 and underglycosylation IgA_1 in mesangial deposition in the clinicopathological study of IgA nephropathy(IgAN).Methods Seventy-four patients with IgAN were enrolled in the study,with 10 patients randomly selected after remission,10 MCD and 10 healthy volunteers as control groups.The levels of TNF-? in serum and urine were examined by radioimmunoassay,and the levels of IL-12 and IL-15 were examined by ELISA.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of TNF-? in renal tissue,and the directed immunofluorescence was used to detect the underglycosylation of IgA_1(UGIgA_1)in mesangial deposition.Results The levels of TNF-?,IL-12 and IL-15 in serum of patients with IgAN were higher than those of MCD group,healthy control group and remission group.Compared with the negative group,33 patients with UGIgA_1 positive in renal tissues had lower levels of TNF-? in serum,longer course and less class of renal tissue injury.The positive areas of TNF-? in renal tissue and levels of TNF-? in serum were positively correlated with urinary protein(r=0.249,0.702,P=0.000).There was negative correlation between the levels of TNF-? in serum and Ccr(r=-0.231,P=0.048).The levels of IL-15 was positively correlated with the course of disease(r=0.266,P=0.022) and negatively with Scr(r=-0.320,P=0.005).Conclusions The TNF-?,IL-12 and IL-15 are all involved in the onset of proteinuria in IgAN patients,and IL-15 acts as a factor against renal injury.The patients with UGIgA_1 positive in mesangial have longer course and less pathological changes damaged than those of the UGIgA_1 negative patients.The TNF-? may serve as an important factor in the aggravation of IgAN.

The changes of serum malondialdehyde, myeloperoxidase, total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase activity, and glutathione peroxidase were observed in patients with Graves′ disease. The myeloperoxidase level increased in patients with Graves′ disease. The balance between oxidation and antioxidative defense was disrupted in patients with newly-onset Graves′ disease. Oxidative stress seems to be related to hyperthyroidism.

Objective:To study the effects of deoxyadenosine(dAdo) on methotrexate (MTX) induced suppression of inflammatory bone destruction.Methods:The culture system of whole bone marrow cells (WBMCs) was utilized to evaluate osteoclastogenesis.TRAP staining and μCT analysis were utilized to evaluate osteoclastogenesis and bone destruction in adjuvant arthritis rats.Results:In the bone marrow culture system,MTX-induced suppression of osteoclastogenesis was abrogated by the addition of dAdo.dAdo canceled MTX-induced suppression of osteoclastogenesis in the rats with arthritis,and significantly abolished the therapeutic effects of MTX on inflammatory bone destruction in the rats.Conclusion:The accumulation of dAdo may be one cause of the losing effectiveness of MTX in bone destruction.

Objective To observe the effect and mechanism of Huatan Tiaojing Fang,a Chinese medi-cine compound formulated by the principle of resolving phlegm and regulating menstruation,combined with Diane-35 on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)patients with phlegm-dampness obstruction pattern. Methods A total 60 patients were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group (each n =30).The patients of the control group took orally Diane-35,and those of the treatment group took orally Diane-35 with Huatan Tiaojing Fang for consecutive three months.Before and after treatment, TCMsymptom total score and individual symptoms integral,menstruation efficacy,serum sex hormone levels,ovarian volume and basal antral follicle count (AFC)were detected and analyzed.Results The total effective rates were equal,96.7% in the treatment group and of 90.0% in the control group (P >0.05).The individual symptoms integral of the treatment group was superior to those of the control group at the end of three months and three months of withdrawal (P <0.05).After treatment,despite there was no significant difference in serum estradiol (E2 ),testosterone (T),follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)and ovarian volume (P >0.05),the regulation of serum luterinizing hormone (LH)and LH/FSH,reduction of basal AFC of the treatment group were superior to those of the control group (P <0.05).Conclusion The clinical effectiveness of Huatan Tiaojing Fang combined with Diane-35 on treatment of PCOS with phlegm-dampness obstruction pattern has been proved,superior to the effective-ness of Diane-35.The potential mechanism is related to regulating serum LH and LH/FSH.

Objective To investigate the experience and effect of emergency endoscopic treatment for massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGB) of patients after liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 3 patients with massive UGB after liver transplantation receiving emergency endoscopic treatment in Digestive Endoscopy Center, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from May 2012 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients were male with the age of 44, 54 and 61 years old, and all had symptoms of haematemesis, massive melena and shock to various degrees. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the ethical committee approval was received. The patients were prepared by fasting, supplementing blood volume, psychologically nursing before operation. And the endoscopic instruments, medicine and emergency rescue items were prepared. The patients were kept the airway clear, doctors and nurses well cooperated and the vital signs were closely observed. Clear endoscopic field was kept during the operation and appropriate hemostasis were performed according to different situations. The patients were sent back to bed-
ward after they were stable after the operation and were handed over to the attending physician meticulously. Results For case 1, hemostatic clips were used to stop the active bleeding from contralateral bare vessels on the horn of duodenal bulb and a local injection of sclerosing agent was given. For case 2, the COOK ligator was used to ligate the esophageal varices rupture to stop the active bleeding, and tissue glue was injected at the bleeding spots of severe gastric fundus varices. The bleedings in case 1 and 2 were stopped successfully. For case 3, the stomach was filled with masses of blood clots and dark red blood and still couldn't be visible after being repeatedly washed and drainage. Thus the patient was urgently transferred to undergo embolization of the bleeding artery. This patient died of pulmonary infection, hemorrhagic shock and cardiac insufficiency after the operation. Conclusions Preoperative preparation should be well made during the emergency endoscopic hemostasis in patients with massive UGB after liver transplantation, and well cooperation of doctors and nurses, close observation on patients' condition, clear endoscopic field, appropriate hemostasis are necessary for improving the outcome.

ObjectiveTo investigate the change of mood and cognitive function of patients with liver cirrhosis before and after liver transplantation (LT).MethodsA total of 26 patients with liver cirrhosis before LT and 24 patients after LT admitted in the Third Afifliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from September 2012 to September 2013 were included in this prospective study. Moreover, 26 healthy controls were also included in normal control group. The informed consents of all participants were obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. The 26 patients before LT were assigned in preoperative group, among them, 23 were males and 3 were females with the average age of (50±9) years old. The 24 patients after LT were assigned in postoperative group, among them, 22 were males and 2 were females with the average age of (50±6) years old. Among the healthy controls, 23 were males and 3 were females with the average age of (49±9) years old. Clinical data of the three groups were collected respectively. The mood status and the cognitive function of the participants were assessed with Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Number Connection Test A (NCT-A) , Digit Symbol Test (DST). The results of multiple groups were compared with one-way analysis of variance and pairwise comparisons were conducted with LSD-t test.ResultsThe HAMD, HAMA scores, NCT-A results and DST scores of the preoperative group were (16.2±3.5), (17±5), (56±13) s and (36±11) and those of the postoperative group were (14.2±3.7), (16±3), (52±12) s and (42±7) and those of the normal control group were (7.3±2.4), (8±3), (38±8) s and (54±9). Compared with the normal control group, the HAMD, HAMA scores and NCT-A results of the preoperative group increased significantly (LSD-t=11.919, 8.596, 6.883;P<0.05) and the DST scores decreased significantly (LSD-t=-6.972,P<0.05). Compared with the normal control group, the HAMD, HAMA scores and NCT-A results of the postoperative group increased significantly (LSD-t=8.591, 9.942, 5.475;P<0.05) and the DST scores decreased significantly (LSD-t=-5.599,P<0.05). Compared with preoperative group, the HAMD scores of the postoperative group decreased significantly (LSD-t=-2.209,P<0.05) and the DST scores increased significantly (LSD-t=1.243,P<0.05).ConclusionsPatients with liver cirrhosis have obvious depression, anxiety and cognitive disorder before LT. A month after LT, depression and cognitive disorder improve obviously, but cannot recover to the normal level. The anxiety improvement is not obvious.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application value of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in biliary stricture following liver transplantation (LT).MethodsClinical data of 47 patients with biliary stricture following LT treated with ERCP in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2008 and January 2014 were retrospectively studied. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. Among the 47 patients, 41 were males and 6 were females with the age ranging from 24 to 62 years old and the median of 51 years old. Anastomotic stricture was observed in 31 cases and non-anastomotic stricture in 16 cases. ERCP was performed on patients to localize biliary stricture and then papillotomy was performed under the support of guide wire. The stricture was dilated progressively by dilating catheter or columnar balloon through the guide wire. Endoscopic nasobiliary drainage or plastic stent placement was chosen according to the ERCP results. The evaluation of curative effect was graded by cure, improvement, inefifcacy and restenosis.ResultsAll the 47 patients underwent ERCP successfully with totally 112 times. Nasobiliary drainage was performed 79 person-times, stent placement 33 person-times. Among the 31 patients with anastomtic stricture, 28 were cured and 3 were improved. Among the 16 patients with non-anastomtic stricture, 5 were cured, 3 were improved, and 8 were ineffective. The total cured rate of all the patients was 70% (33/47) and the effective rate was 83% (39/47). The incidence of complications was 9% (4/47), including 2 cases of mild pancreatitis, 1 case of hyperamylasemia and 1 case of biliary tract infection.ConclusionERCP is safe, effective and integrated in diagnosis and treatment for biliary stricture following LT, which is the ifrst choice for non-surgery treatment.
