AIM:To determine the effect of microRNA-363(miR-363) on HepG2 cells.METHODS:Bioin-formatic analysis was conducted to identify if the Mcl-1 was regulated by miR-363.The expression of Mcl-1 and miR-363 was detected by real-time PCR in normal liver cell line LO2 and hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2, Huh7 and PLC. miR-363 was transfected into the HepG2 cells, and then the level of Mcl-1 was measured.The relative viability was evalua-ted by MTT assay after the HepG2 cells were transfected with miR-363, and the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining.RESULTS:Bioinformatic analysis identified that there was a putative target site in the Mcl-1 mRNA for miR-363.Transfection of miR-363 mimics suppressed Mcl-1 expression in the HepG2 cells.Transfection of miR-363 mimics inhibited the cell viability as well as inducing cell apoptosis in HepG2 cells.CONCLUSION: Over-ex-pression of miR-363 significantly inhibits the cell viability and induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells, and the mechanism may be related to the downregulation of Mcl-1 caused by miR-363 transfection.

Objective To determine the value of MRI for diagnosing the posterior meniscus root tear. Methods MR examinations of 30 patients with tear of the posterior meniscus root confirmed by knee arthroscopies were retrospectively reviewed. Of the 30 patients, 17 with posterior medial meniscus root tear (MMRT) and 13 with posterior lateral meniscus root tear (LMRT). The diagnostic sensitivity of MRI for the posterior meniscus root tear was analyzed. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the detection rate of MRI for MMRT with that for LMRT. Results All 17 cases with MMRT and 9 cases out of 13 with LMRT were correctly diagnosed by MRI and the diagnostic sensitivity of MRI for the posterior meniscus root tear was 86. 7% (26/30). The main MR appearance of the posterior meniscus root tear was distortion of the meniscal root, with its low signal replaced by abnormal high signal. The detection rate of MRI for MMRT (17/17)was significantly greater than that for LMRT (9/13) ( P =0. 026). The prevalence of MMRT associated with meniscus extrusion ( 15/17 ) was significantly greater than that of LM RT ( 6/13 ) ( P = 0. 020), but the prevalence of MMRT associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury (5/17) was significantly lower than that of LMRT (11/13) (P = 0. 004). Conclusion MRI is a relatively good method for detection of posterior meniscus root tears and associated injuries.

Objective To establish an animal model of preeclampsia by injecting ultra-low-dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to rats in early pregnancy,and to lay the foundation for further study on mechanisms of preeclampsia.Methods Twenty-four pregnant rats were divided into six groups according to the random number table and were injected with LPS 0.3,0.5,0.7,1.0,2.0 μg/kg or saline 2 ml respectively through tail veins on day 5 of pregnancy.The differences in blood pressure,urinary protein and pathological changes in placenta among groups were compared to confirm the suitable dose of LPS for establishing preeclamptic model.Then another 19 pregnant rats were injected with the chosen dose of LPS slowly through tail veins on day 5 of pregnancy; 15 of which were chosen as model group; the other four were chosen as postpartum group.Three non-pregnant rats were as non-pregnant group.Besides,another 15 pregnant rats were injected with saline as pregnant control group.Systolic blood pressure,urinary protein excretion,placental weight,fetal weight,serum white blood cell counts,blood platelet counts,plasma anti-thrombin-Ⅲ content,D-dimer content were examined and compared among groups with one way analysis of variance; histopathologic studies were also done on the placentas,kidneys and aortas of the rats.Results (1) Placental weight of LPS 0.3 μg/kg group increased compared with control group.One pregnant rats(1/4) in LPS 1.0 μg/kg group and LPS 2.0 μg/kg group died on day 16 of pregnancy as a result of vaginal bleeding.Systolic blood pressure of LPS 0.5 μg/kg group rose steadily,while no significant changes were found in other groups.Urinary protein increased in all LPS groups,while urinary protein of LPS 0.7 μg/kg group and LPS 1.0 μg/kg group peaked on day 12 of pregnancy and then decreased; urinary protein of LPS 0.5 μg/kg group increased most significantly,and fetus in LPS 0.5,0.7 and 2.0 μg/kg groups had lighter body weight.So LPS 0.5 μg/kg was chosen as the suitable dose to establish preeclamptic model.(2)Compared with pregnant control group,model group had higher systolic blood pressure [(124.89±1.79) mm Hg vs (119.02±1.80) mm Hg,LSD test,P=0.03] from day 6 of pregnancy,more urinary protein [(2.02±0.29) mg vs (1.11±0.18) mg,LSD test,P=0.00] from day 9 of pregnancy,more absorbed embryos [3.6％ (7/194) vs 0.0％ (0/200),Fisher exact test,P=0.01] at day 20 of pregnancy,higher incidence of placenta bleeding [4.1％ (8/194) vs 0.0％ (0/200),Fisher exact test,P=0.00] and fetal growth restriction [13.9％ (27/194) vs 6.0％ (12/200),X2=6.92,Fisher exacttest,P=0.01].Model group showed more inflammatory cells infiltration in the placenta,more glomerular mesangial cells,swelling and desquamated of renal tubular epithelial cells compared to control group.Blood pressure and urinary protein of the model group recovered to the baseline at the sixth day of postpartum,and no changes in blood pressure and urinary protein were found in non-pregnant rats.Conclusions Injection of LPS 0.5 μg/kg on day 5 of pregnancy through tail veins could induce the clinical symptoms of preeclampsia in rats,which might be an ideal model for further preeclampsia research.

Objective To investigate the effect of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAP) mediated human telomerase re-verse transcriptase (hTERT) RNA interference of A549 human lung cancer cells in vitro. Methods The nHAP were synthe-sized by the homogeneous precipitation method. The structure of the nanoparticles was observed under transmission electron mi-croscope. The nHAP were prepared using nltrasonication and Na_2CO_3 and modified with poly-L-lysine (PLL) at pH 7. 4. The transfection of pGenesil-hTERT into A549 was divided into four groups as follows: nHAP-PLL group mediated by hydroxyapatite nanoparticles modified with poly-L-lysine ( nHAP-PLL), liposome group mediated by Lipefectamine, nHAP group mediated by hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and control group. The growth ability of cells was assayed with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium meth-od. The expression level of hTERT protein was examined by Western blotting. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apeptosis ratio of A549 cells line. Results Under transmission electron microscope, the synthesized product presented needle-like and well dispersed particles with evenly distributed sizes of (15-20) nm × (60-80) nm. The proliferation of A549 cells of nHAP-PLL group, liposome group and nHAP group were obviously inhibited as compared with the control group (P < 0.05 ).The inhibition rate of nHAP-PLL group was more than the other groups. There was a significant difference inhibition rate be-tween the nHAP-PLL group compared with the liposome group and nHAP group (P <0.05 ). The level of hTERT protein hada similar varietal tendency with the result of proliferation of each group. Flow cytometry showed the apoptasis ratio of nHAP-PLL group, liposome group, nHAP group and control group was (28.1±1.4)%, (19.2±1.3)%, (10.9±1.2)% and (0.3±0.2 ) %, respectively. There was a significant difference in apoptosis ratio between the nHAP-PLL group, liposome group and nHAP group compared with control group( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion A549 human lung cancer cells overexpreas hTERT and this may be a target for inhibiting proliferation of A549. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles can induce apeptosis of ASA9 cells in vitro. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles modified with poly-L-lysine can effectively combine and protect DNA and mediate gene transfection to A549, it can mediate human telomerase reverse transcriptase RNA interference of A549 cells and inhibit the pro-liferation of ,4549 in vitro.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of gemcitabine arterial infusion chemotherapy with intravenous chemotherapy in the management of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine arterial infusion chemotherapy. Methods 43 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer were included in this study, of whom 21 patients received arterial infusion chemotherapy (Group A) and the other 22 were treated by intravenous chemotherapy (Group B), gemcitabine combined with 5-FU chemotherapy was administrated in both groups. The main outcomes were clinical benefit response (CBR), tumor response rate and toxicity. Results Compared with Group B, there was a significant improvement of CBR in group A (81% vs 50%, P =0.033) ; there was also significant improvement of pain control in group A (76.2% vs 45.5%, P =0.039). There was no significant difference in the tumor response rate between two groups (33.3% vs 22.7%, P =0.498). No significant increase of side effects was observed in both groups. Conclusions In the management of advanced pancreatic cancer, the arterial infusion method may be more favorable than intravenous approach in improving clinical benefits with mild toxicity and well tolerability.
