Objective: To explore the eff ect of Fasudil on the invasion and metastatic abilities of human high metastatic liver cancer cells (HCCLM3) and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: HCCLM3 cells were incubated with 100 μmol/L Fasudil. Fluorescence staining forF-actin and Transwell assay were performed to observe the invasion ability of HCCLM3 cells. HCCLM3 cells were divided into 3 groups: a negative control group, a Fasudil group and a BTB/POZ domain containing 7 (BTBD7)-siRNA group. Western blot assay was performed to detect the expression levels of BTBD7, ras homolog family member C (RhoC) and Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2), matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP2) and MMP9. Zymogram analysis method was performed to detect the expression activities of MMP2 and MMP9. hTe BTBD7-siRNA group was served as a positive control. Results: In HCCLM3 cells treated with Fasudil, the invasion ability was significant decreased compared with the control group, concomitant with the down-regulated expression levels of BTBD7, RhoC and ROCK2 protein as well as the decreased activities of MMP2 and MMP9. Conclusion: Fasudil plays an important role in interfering BTBD7-ROCK2 signaling pathway and suppressing the invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the role of routine delayed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after thrombosis in the management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Methods Ninety-eight patients with STEMI who underwent routine delayed PCI after thrombosis and other 82 patients with STEMI who were given conservative strategy after thrombolysis were enrolled in this study and were investigated during their in-hospital period and 6-month follow-up regarding major adverse clinical events (MACE) and the cardiac structure and function by echocardiography. The patients were divided into the control group (conservative strategy after thrombolysis), therapy group 1 (routine delayed PCI after successful thrombolysis), and therapy group 2 (routine delayed PCI after unsuccessful thrombolysis). Results Compared with conservative strategy after thrombolysis, routine delayed PCI after thrombosis decreased in-hospital mortality (4.9% vs 0%, 0%), shortened average hospital stay (25.3 days vs 13.5 days, 15.1days), decreased the need for revascularization for target lesion (7.3% vs 0%, 0%) and lowered the incidence of thrombosis or infarction (7.3% vs 0%, 0%), and also produced lower mortality (13.4% vs 1.4%, 0%), prevented reinfarction (12.2% vs 4.2%, 4.5%) and stroke (2.4% vs 0%, 0%), decreased the need for revascularization for target lesion (28% vs 4.2%, 4.5%) and prevented further left ventricle remodling. Conclusion Routine delayed PCI after thrombosis may to prevent recurrent ischemia, reinfarction, and reocclusion, so as to improve immediate results and 6-month prognosis.

As a common disease in clinical, the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) focused on local intervertebral disc, such as surgery and other interventional therapy treatment, but postoperative complications and recurrence rate has been a difficult problem in the field of profession. With the development of spine biomechanics and anatomy, researches on lumbar herniation also increased. Researchers discovered that the incidence and prognosis of LDH were inseparable with local muscle and soft tissue. As the deep paraspinal muscles, multifidus muscle plays an important role to make lumbar stability. Its abnormal function could reduce the stable of lumbar spine, and the chronic lumbar disease could also lead to multifidus muscle atrophy.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and molecular mechanism of peroxisome proliferate-activated receptor α(PPARα) activation on acute myocardial damage induced by isoproterenol (Iso) in rats. Methods Thirty male Wistar rats, weighting 160~180 g, were randomly divided into control group, Iso group, fenafibrate(FF) group(each n=10) according to physique quantity. Acute myocardial injury caused by Iso abdomen cavity injection induced ischemia was established and the protective effects of peroxisome proliferate-activated receptor α activation were accessed by the level of ereatine kinase(CK), lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) in serum as well as the activities of myoperoxidase(MPO) in myocardium, and the protein expressions of PPABα in myocardium by Western blot. Results The level of serum CK in control group, lso group and FF group, was (62.41±9.47),(101.71±11.05),(75.64±11.73)kU/L, respectively(F= 34.34, P<0.01). Whereas the level of serum CK in Iso group and FF group was higher than that in control group(P<0.01 or<0.05), the level of serum CK in FF group was lower than that in Iso group(P<0.01). The levels of LDH in these three groups were (5912.20±204.44), (6365.78±137.10), (6089.76±169.60) U/L, respectively(F= 17.54, P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the levels of LDH in Iso and Fir groups were significantly increased(P<0.01 or<0.05). But the level of LDH in FIr group was decreased compared with that in Iso group(P<0.01). The activities of myocardial MPO in these three groups were (1.95±0.10),(3.89±0.17),(2.49±0.19)U/g, espectively(F=391.68,P< 0.01). The activities of myocardial MPO in Iso and FF groups were higher than that in the control group (all P< 0.01), while the activities of myocardial MPO in FIr group were lower than that in lso group(P<0.01). The protein expressions of PPARα in myocardium of these three groups were 251.57±10.95,191.97±10.74,215.08±9.61, respectively(F=82.69, P<0.01). Conclusion PPARα activation by its actor FF can exert protective effects on the acute myocardial ischemia injury induced by lso in rats through inhibiting the release of inflammatory cell factors.

BACKGROUND:Children usually wear school bags when walking, and overweight school bags do harm to the lower extremity and foot, thus affecting the child development. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of obesity on gait characteristics of children wearing school bags during walking. METHODS:Forty pupils were enrolled in accordance with body mass index and China school-age children and adolescents overweight, obesity screening body mass index classification standard, including 20 obese children (body mass index: (28.13±3.4) kg/m2) and 20 non-obese ones (body mass index: (17.44±1.57) kg/m2). The gait parameters of children wearing school bags during walking were measured using a 2-m Footscan Plantar Pressure Plate System from RSscan International. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the non-obese children, the peak pressures under the metatarsal heads II-V, midfoot and heel lateral were significantly higher in obese children wearing school bags during walking (P < 0.05). The time to peak pressures under the toes II-V, the metatarsal heads IV, V and midfoot was also significantly higher (P < 0.05). In addition, the arch index for the foot, and right foot axis angle were significantly larger in the obese children as compared with the non-obese children (P < 0.05). To conclude, obese children wearing school bags during walking have weaker walking stability with flatter foot pattern, the larger foot axis angle and dynamic plantar pressure distribution changes compared with non-obese children, which can result in foot damage.
