Objective To investigate the protective effect of 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM) on radiation-induced injury in mouse hematopoietic system. Methods Thirty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group, 2 Gy irradiation group and 2 Gy irradiation+DIM group (n=10 for each group). Mice of control group received sham irradiation, and the other two groups accepted 2 Gy 137Cs γ-ray total body irradiation. Mice in 2 Gy irradiation +DIM group were intraperitoneally injected 75 mg/kg DIM 30 min before irradiation. Mice of other two groups were treated with reference solution. After 7 d and 15 d of 2 Gy irradiation, the peripheral blood samples were collected to count the number of bone marrow nuclear cells (BMNCs). The level of reactive oxygen species(ROS) was measured by DCFH-DA. The levels of colony forming units-granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) were also detected. Results The numbers of white blood cell (WBC), platelet count (PLT), BMNCs and CFU-GM were significantly decreased and the ROS level of bone marrow cells increased significantly in the irradiated group than those of control group (P<0.05). Compared to 2 Gy irradiation group, the numbers of WBC, PLT, BMNCs and CFU-GM were significantly increased in 2 Gy irradiation +DIM group, and the level of ROS was decreased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion DIM has a protective effect on hematopoietic cells following radiation-induced injury, which may be related with the decreased ROS level.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of indole-3-carbinol (I3C) on radiation-induced mouse bone marrow hematopoietic cell injury and the involved mechanisms. Methods (1) The bone marrow nuclear cells (BMNCs) from CD45.1 subtype of C57BL/6J mice were collected by a density gradient centrifugation method. The BMNCs were pretreated with a series doses of I3C (0 mol/L, 10-8 mol/L-10-3 mol/L) and then exposed with radiation of 137Csγ-ray (doses of irradiation were 0 Gy, 1 Gy and 4 Gy). After 18-hour culturing, the bioluminescence method was used to detect the cell viability. (2) These cells were divided into control group and 10-6 mol/L I3C group. Both groups were received the irradiation (0 Gy, 1 Gy and 4 Gy) and inoculated into the methylcellulose semi-solid culture medium to incubate 7 days, the colony forming unit-granulocyte monocytes (CFU-GM) were observed. (3) Twenty-four CD45.2 subtype mice used as the receptor were exposed with 8 Gy radiation. The CD45.1 BMNCs were divided into control group, 4 Gy irradiation group, 4 Gy irradiation and 10-6 mol/L I3C group. Donor cells were harvested from C57BL/6J (CD45.1) mice after they received various treatments, and were then mixed with competitive BMNCs from C57BL/6J (CD45.2) mice. The mixed cells were transplanted into recipient mice (8 mice/group). Flow cytometry was used to analyze the proportion of donor cells in peripheral blood of receptor. (4) The cells were divided into control group, 10-6 mol/L I3C group, 1 Gy irradiation group, 1 Gy irradiation with 10-6 mol/L I3C group. After 24-hour culturing, Western blot assay was used to detect the expression levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1). Results (1) I3C showed a significant cytotoxic effect on the BMNCs when its concentration was above 10-4 mol/L. 10-7-10-6 mol/L I3C could reduce the radiation injury of BMNCs under the same dose of irradiation. Therefore, 10-6 mol/L I3C was chosen for subsequent experiments. (2) The CFU-GM was significantly higher in 10-6 mol/L I3C group than that of control group (P<0.05). (3) Results of flow cytometry showed that the proportion of donor cells in receptor was significantly higher in 4 Gy irradiation group than that of control group, which decreased the engraftment capability of irradiated HSCs (P<0.05), although the engraftment capability of irradiated HSCs improved after 10-6 mol/L I3C treatment. (4) I3C significantly enhanced the increased protein expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 caused by radiation (P<0.05). Conclusion I3C has a protective effect on hematopoietic cells following radiation-induced injury, which may be related with activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway.

Purpose To explore the clinicopathologic characteristics, pathologic diagnosis and differential diagnosis of extraskeletal myxiod chondrosarcoma. Methods The clinical and pathological features were studied with HE and immunohistochemical staining in 5 cases of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, and the related literatures were also reviewed. Results Extraskeletal myxoid chondro-sarcoma was male predominance (4 males: 1 female), and the age ranged from 32 to 62 years with an average of 52 years. Four tumors occurred in thigh and another in chest. Histologically, the neophlasm were composed of round and oval cells. Immunohisto-chemically, the tumor cells were positive for vimentin in five cases, synaptophysin expressed in one case, S-100 showed focal positivity in two cases, but negative for CK, p63, EMA, CD34, SMA in all cases. Molecular genetics detection shows chromosome exchange be-tween number 9 and 22. Conclusion Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is a rare tumor which has no special characteristics in clinical and iconography, and its diagnosis mainly depends on the histopathologic features, immunohistochemistry and molecular genet-ics. Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma grows slowly, but have a high tendency for local recurrence and metastases.

Background When focusing on a target,the accommodative system exhibits small variations in power within a range,termed microfluctuations.Exploring the correlation between the characters of microfluctuations and the aberrations of the eyes through a critical period-teenager can deepen the understanding of the onset and development of myopia.Objective This study was to investigate the correlation between accommodative microfluctuations and wavefront aberrations of human eyes,and to explore the role of accommodative microfiuctuations in the development of myopia.Methods A cross-sectional study was designed and performed.Fifty-four teenagers aged from 12 to 15 years were enrolled in this study in Eye Hospital,Wenzhou Medical University from 2010 to 2011,including 19 emmetropic subjects,18 incipient myopic subjects and 17 progressive myopic subjects,who were chosen based on the refractive changes for the last two years.The accommodative response and microfluctuations were measured by WAM-5500 infrared autorefractor with RSVP at 25,33 and 50 cm respectively,each RSVP distance was tested for 5 minutes.The accommodative values were divided into low frequency component (LFC) (0-0.6 Hz),middle frequency component(MFC) (0.6-0.9 Hz) and high frequency component (HFC) (1.0-1.4 Hz) after Fourier spectrum analysis.The wavefront aberrations of the whole eye and corneal were recorded by i-Trace aberrometer and Humphrey corneal topography.The differences of accommodative response,microfluctuations and aberrations were evaluated and compared among the emmetropic group,incipient myopic group and progressive myopic group.The correlations of accommodation and aberrations were analyzed.This study followed Declaration of Helsinki,and informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results Under the 25 cm and 33 cm reading distance,the accommodative response values were (2.78 ± 0.35) D and (2.19 ± 0.27) D in the emmetropic group,which were significantly higher than (2.44±0.33) D and (1.89±0.35)D in the progressive myopic group (P=0.002,0.003).LFC,MFC and HFC were remarkably increased as the reading distance decreased (Fdistance =8.480,14.270,21.400;all at P <0.01).A significant difference was seen in LFC among different reading distances (Fgroup =4.115,P<0.05),and the LFCs in the progressive myopic group were considerably higher than those in the emmetropic group in the 25,33 and 50 cm reading distances (P=0.044,0.038,0.032).No significant differences were found in MFC and HFC among the three groups (Fgroup =0.859,0.682;both at P>0.05).Under the 25 cm and 33 cm reading distances,significant positive correlations were found between LFC and corneal coma,intraocular coma,whole ocular aberrations or intraocular higher order aberrations (all at P<0.05),however,no significant correlations were seen between MFC or HFC and wavefront aberrations (all at P>0.05).Conclusions In teenagers,the accommodative response of emmetropia is much stronger than that of progressive myopia,and the accommodative microfluctuation in emmetropia and incipient myopia is much less than that in progressive myopia.These shifts are possibly associated with the variability,and microfluctuations of accommodation is greater in progressive myopes than emmetropes.There are certain correlations between wavefront aberrations and accommodative microfluctuations.The refractive group differences in the accommodative microfluctuations may be related to differences in the wavefront between myopes and emmetropes.Under near reading distance,LFC is correlated with higher order aberrations.

Objective To identify predictors of prescription initiation and persistence of warfarin in non-valvular atrial fibrillation ( NVAF ) patients with high risk of stroke ( CHA2 DS2-VASc≥2 ) . Methods NVAF patients consulted in our hospital from Aug , 2011 to Apr, 2015 were enrolled.Patients who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation were excluded . Patients were divided into two groups (warfarin group and non-warfarin group).Logistic regression was used to estimate the predictors of initiation warfarin prescription.Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional hazards model was performed to determine rate of warfarin persistence and its associated factors .Results A total of 622 AF patients were enrolled and 490 patients with CHA2DS2-VASc≥2.Ten patients lost follow up and 480 patients were followed up with a mean follow-up period of ( 40.0 ±11.55 ) months.Of which 245 NVAF patients ( 51%) had a warfarin prescription.Patients with ischemic stroke ( OR 2.447 , 95%CI 1.435-4.171 , P=0.001 ) , heart failure ( OR 2.009 , 95%CI 1.084-3.724 , P=0.027 ) and persistent AF ( OR 2.231 , 95%CI 1.448-3.437 , P=0.0001 ) had a higher likelihood of warfarin prescription .Anemia ( OR 0.479 , 95%CI 0.238-0.964 , P=0.039), concommitant Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) use (OR 0.638, 95%CI 0.456-0.891, P=0.008 ) and longer distance to hospital ( OR 0.759 , 95%CI 0.610-0.945 , P=0.014 ) decreased the likelihood of warfarin prescription . One hundred and seventy-six ( 71.8%) warfarin users continued persistent therapy and the overall proportion of warfarin persistence was 78.3% for one year , 71.0% for 3 years.Seventy-six existing warfarin users continued the warfarin therapy (80%, 76/95),one hundred new users showed persistence to therapy ( 66.7%, 100/150 ) .Warfarin use before enrollment significantly increased warfarin persistence than new prescription ( P =0.008 ) .Variables associated with higher discontinuation were new prescription ( HR 1.786 , 95% CI 1.029-3.100 , P=0.039 ) , TCM use ( HR 1.687 , 95%CI 1.201-2.37 , P=0.003 ) and longer distance to hospital ( HR 1.446 , 95% CI 1.121-1.865, P=0.005).Conclusions In anticoagulation clinic, concommitant TCM use, distance to hospital and other factors were associated with warfarin initiation prescription and persistence .Identifying factors associated with warfarin treatment could help in developing adherence of patients .
