Objective To investigate the protection effect of dexmedetomidine against H2O2 injury in Human renal tubular epithelial cells(HK-2 cells). Methods HK-2 cells cultured in vitro were randomly divided into four groups(n = 24): control group, dexmedetomidine pretreatment group, H2O2 injury group, H2O2 injury +dexmedetomidine pretreatment group. Cell viabilities were measured by MTS assay, cell apoptosis were detected using flow cytometry, and expression of HIF-1α protein was quantified by western blot. HK-2 cells were divided into 8 groups by combining with three treatment factors such as PI3K inhibitor LY294002, dexmedetomidine and H2O2 injury. MTS assay was used to detect cell viability and western blot was used to quantify protein expression of HIF-1α,Bcl-2 and Bax after treatment in each group. Results Dexmedetomidine significantly increased the level of HIF-1α、 Bcl-2 in HK-2 cells after H2O2 injury, thus improved viabilities and reduced apotosis of cells. Moreover, effect on H2O2 injury cells of Dexmedetomidine was reversed by PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine could protect against H2O2 injury by up-regulating HIF-1α expression through activating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in HK-2 cells.

Purpose To investigate estrogen receptor ( ER ) , progesterone receptor ( PR ) expression in PTEN-deficient endometrial carcinoma and to analysis the relationship of PTEN, ER and PR protein expression with histological grade, pathological staging and muscle invasive. Methods Immunohistochemistry EnVision was used to detect the expression of PTEN, ER and PR protein in 100 ca-ses of endometrial carcinoma. Results The rate of PTEN-deficient endometrial carcinoma was 52. 0% (52/100). The expression rate of ER, PR protein on PTEN-deficient endometrial carcinoma was 15. 4% (8/52), 19. 2% (10/52), respectively. And the expression rate of ER, PR protein on PTEN over-expression endometrial carcinoma was 72. 7% (8/11), 63. 6% (7/11), respectively. The rate of PTEN, ER and PR expression types shown PTEN-ER-PR- was 42. 0% (42/100), which was higher than other types (P <0. 05). Different PTEN, ER and PR expression types were well correlated with histological grade and pathological staging (P<0. 05), but not with muscle invasive. Conclusion Combined detection of PTEN, ER and PR may have an important reference value for prog-nosis and treatment of endometrial carcinoma.

Objective:To compare and observe the changes in choroidal thickness between healthy pregnant women and healthy non-pregnant women.Methods:A prospective clinical study. From January 2019 to August 2019, healthy pregnant women (pregnant women group) and healthy non-pregnant women age-matched were enrolled during the same period (the normal group) in the obstetrics of Zhuji People's Hospital. All patients were enrolled with their right eyes. Frequency-domain OCT-enhanced depth imaging technology was used to measure the subfoveal macular and 1000 μm above, below, nasal, and temporal choroidal thickness and foveal retinal thickness (CMT). The choroidal thickness and CMT of the pregnant women group and the normal group were compared by t test, and the choroidal thickness and CMT of the normal group and the eyes of different gestational weeks were compared by one-way analysis of variance. Results:The pregnant women group and the normal group included 161 patients (161 eyes) and 40 patients (40 eyes). According to the different gestational weeks, the pregnant women were divided into the first trimester group, the second trimester group, and the third trimester group, with 47 patients (47 eyes), 66 patients (66 eyes), and 48 patients (48 eyes) respectively. There was no significant difference in age, axial length, intraocular pressure, and CMT between the different gestational week groups and the normal group ( F=1.433, 1.558, 0.416, 2.288; P>0.05). The subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) of the pregnant women group and normal group were 317.7±73.9 μm and 279.7±44.1 μm, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.113, P=0.002). Compared with the normal group, the choroid at the upper, lower, nasal, and temporal sides of the pregnant group 1000 μm from the fovea was thickened. The difference between the upper, nasal and temporal sides was statistically significant ( t=2.699, 3.474, 2.595; P<0.05). The SFCT of the eyes in the first trimester group, the middle group, and the late group were 305.8±72.3, 327.7±69.8, 315.8±80.5 μm, respectively. Compared with the normal group, the difference was statistically significant ( F=4.180, P=0.007). Pairwise comparison between the two groups, the second trimester group was significantly different from the normal group ( P=0.003). There was no significant difference among the first trimester group、the third trimester group and the other groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The choroidal thickness of pregnant women is thicker than normal, and the choroidal thickness in the second trimester reaches the maximum value; while the macular CMT during pregnancy has no significant change.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate improvement effect of external administration of water extract from Eriocarpous Glochidion on chronic dermatitis-eczema model mice, and to provide reference for developing new dermatological drug. METHODS:A total of 60 mice were randomly divided into blank group (distilled water), model group (distilled water), compound triamcinolone acetonide acetate group (positive control group, original liquid) , high-concentration, medium-concentration and low-concentration groups of water extract from Eriocarpous Glochidion(2.0,1.0,0.5 g/mL,calculated by crude drug),10 mice in each group. Except for blank group,other groups were given 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene to induce chronic dermatitis-eczema model. Since the third day of the experiment,two sides of right ears of the mice were given relevant medicine twice at 7:00 and 15:00,15 μL each time,for consecutive 12 d. In the tenth,thirteenth,sixteenth day of the experiment,the difference of thickness of right ears of the mice was calculated(the difference value before experiment),the times of scratching in ear of mice were recorded within 30 min. In sixteenth day of the experiment,ear swelling degree of mice was determined,and thymus index and spleen index in mice were calculated. Optical microscope was used to observe the pathological changes of ear tissues of mice. RESULTS:Compared with blank group,the difference of thickness of right ears,ear swelling degree,spleen index and scratching times were increased significantly in model group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The epidermis of the ear tissue was thickened,the cell proliferation was obvious,and cavernous edema was found in the epidermis. Compared with model group,other indexes in were decreased significantly,except that the difference value of thickness of right ears in sixteenth day of the experiment,scratching times in ninth and fifteenth day of the experiment were decreased slightly in low-concentration group of water extract from Eriocarpous Glochidion and the thymus index and spleen index in medium-concentration, low-concentration groups of water extract from Eriocarpous Glochidion (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The pathological changes of ear tissue were improved in administration groups to certain extent. CONCLUSIONS:External administration of water extract of Eriocarpous Glochidion has good improvement effect against chronic dermatitis-eczema in mice, which is worthy of further development and investigation.
