Pyroptosis is a new way of programmed cell death,a number of researches have found that it is associated with a variety of diseases.Inflammasome and caspase protein family play key roles in regulating pyroptosis.Intracellular pattern recognition receptor oligomers under external stimulus,then assemble with apop-totic speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain and caspase precursor into inflammatory com-plex body,thus activation of caspase can induce pyroptosis.While as the upstream regulation mechanism of pyroptosis,inflammasome might be double edged swordfor tumor growth.On the one hand,inflammasome can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells by inducing pyroptosis;on the other hand,the cumulative effect of the inflammsome can also form a suitable microenvironment for tumor cells and promote tumor growth.

Background:Disruption of intestinal epithelial tight junction and the followed barrier function play important roles in the pathogenesis of intestinal disorders. Curcumin could provide protection for the impaired barrier function. Aims:To investigate the protective effect of curcumin on ethanol-induced intestinal mucosal barrier disruption. Methods:Caco-2 cells were cultured to establish intestinal epithelial cell barrier model in vitro,and then were divided into control group, ethanol group and different concentrations of curcumin groups(5,20,80 μmol/ L curcumin). Trans-epithelial electrical resistance(TEER)and flux of sodium fluorescein for Caco-2 cell monolayers were measured to examine intestinal epithelial barrier function. Expression and localization of Occludin protein were measured by Western blotting and immunofluorescence,respectively. Cell structure was observed by transmission electron microscopy( TEM). Results:Compared with control group,TEER was significantly decreased and flux of sodium fluorescein was significantly increased (P < 0. 05),expression of Occludin protein was significantly decreased(P < 0. 05)in ethanol group. Immunofluorescence showed that Occludin protein expression was discontinuous and fluorescence intensity was low. TEM showed that brusher border was disorganized,and cell-cell junction was vague. When pretreated with curcumin,the above-mentioned indices were significantly improved,especially in 20 μmol/ L curcumin group( P < 0. 05). Conclusions:Curcumin protects ethanol-induced intestinal epithelial cell barrier disruption.

Objective To investigate the successful rate and the therapeutic effect of loosening posterior tubercle of cervical transverse process with CT-guided insertion or blind insertion of small needle knife for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Methods Ninety patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were divided into CT-guided insertion group and blind insertion group in the admission order using the random number table method, 45 cases in each group. CT-guided insertion group adopted the insertion of small needle knife following by the guide of CT, and the blind insertion group adopted the insertion of small needle knife following by cervical bony landmarks and muscles. After insertion, the position of the small needle knife in patients of the two groups was located by CT scan. If the needle knife did not arrive to the foci, it will be inserted again following by the guide of CT till successful insertion and location. The successful rate for the two times of insertion was calculated, and the pain scores were evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS). Results(1) The successful rate for the first insertion of CT-guided insertion group was 73.3％, and that of the blind insertion group was 47.8％, the difference being significant(P < 0.01). The successful rate for the second insertion of CT-guided insertion group was 92.2％, and that of the blind insertion group was 80.0％, the difference being significant (P<0.01). (2) After treatment for one week, pain VAS scores of the two group were decreased (P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the decrease in the CT-guided insertion group was more obvious than the blind insertion group (P < 0.05). Conclusion CT-guided insertion makes the small needle knife therapy be more accurate and safer, ensures much better therapeutic effect, and brings less pain in the patients.

Objective To investigate ventricular remodeling and glucose transporter 4(GLUT4) expression in rat with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) complicated with myocardial infarction (MI), as well as the effects of ramipril on ventricular remodeling and CLUT4 expression. Method Diabetic animal model (DM) was produced by cholesterol-diet and intraperitoneal injedtion of streptozotocin (STZ,30 mg/kg). The successful model was identified based on the blood gulcose value > 6.7 mmol/L. Left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated to produce the model of MI. 46 wistar rats were randomly(random number) divided into 5 groups: DM + MI + placebo group(placebo group, n = 9), DM + MI + ramipril group(ramipril group, n = 10), DM + sham-operation group (DM group, n = 10),non-DM group + MI (MI group, n = 9), and non-DM + sham-operation group (n = 8). After six weeks, echocardiographic studies was performed ; Left ventricular mass index (LVMI), myocardial infarct size and myocardial collagen volume fraction(CVF) of non-infarction area were also detected. GLUT4 mRNA in the myocardium away from infarction region was measured with real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR and the expression of GLUT4 protein was measured with western blot. Analysis of variance was used to compare the groups. P -values< 0.05 were considered to indicate statistically significant differences. Results Compared with Ml group and DM group,EF[(32 ±3)% vs. (65 ±4)%, P <0.01 and (32 ±3)% vs. (38 ±4)%, P <0.05 respectively] significantly decreased,while E/A ratio (P < 0.01), LVMI (P < 0.05) and CVF (P < 0.05) obviously increased in placebo group. The expression of GLUT4 mRNA and protein were similar between placebo group and DM group, however, much lower than those in MI group(P<0.01).In rampiril group, E/A ratio (P < 0.01), LVMI(3.1±0.2 vs.4.2±0.4, P <0.01) and CVF(P < 0.05) significantly decreased compared with placebo group, while EF[(45±3)% vs.(32±3)%, P <0.01] and the expression of GLUT4 mRNA and protein (P < 0.05) increased. Conclusions Rampiril could improve left ventricular hypertrophy and systolic/di-astolic dysfunction, increase the expression of GLUT4 mRNA and protein in diabetic rats complicated with MI.

Objective: To explore safety and effects of exercise rehabilitation in aged patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: A total of 83 aged CHF patients were randomly divided into exercise rehabilitation group (n=42, received exercise training based on usual care) and usual care group (n=41, received usual care). Period of treatment was eight weeks and patients were followed up for 12 months. New York heart association (NYHA) classification was used to represent cardiac function. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd) were determined by ultrasound cardiography, 6 min walking distance (6MWD) and oxygen metabolic equivalent (METs) also were determined , plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was examined. Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire (MLHFQ) was used to represent quality of life. Rehospitalization rate and mortality rate within 12 months were recorded in all patients. Results: On 8 th weeks after treatment, the LVEF, LVEDd and NYHA class of two groups all significantly improved（P＜0.05 all）,compared with usual care group, there were significant improvement in LVEF [（54.7±6.2）% vs. 65.4±8.7）%], LVEDd [（49.6±8.3）mm vs.（40.2±9.3）mm] and NYHA class [（2.7±0.8）classes vs.（1.9±0.9）classes], P<0.05 all; 6MWD [(122.7±9.2) m vs. (175.6±8.7) m] and METs [(5.8±1.8) vs. (8.4±2.4)] also significantly increased (P<0.01), and plasma level of BNP [(43.4±9.8) pg/ml vs. (31.7±8.9) pg/ml, P<0.05] significantly decreased in exercise rehabilitation group. No severe adverse events occurred in exercise rehabilitation group. After 12 months, compared with usual care group, there were significant increase in MLHFQ score [(45.6±8.2) scores vs. (68.9±7.9) scores], significant decrease in rehospitalization rate caused by heart failure (24.4% vs. 9.5%) , P<0.05 all in exercise rehabilitation group. Conclusion: Exercise rehabilitation is safe and effective in aged patients with chronic heart failure, which can significantly improve cardiac function, enhance exercise capacity and increase quality of life.
