1.Progress of factors affecting the outcome of resuscitation in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(5):347-349
Cardiopulmonary arrest is one of the most critical situations,posing a serious threat to life.With the development of medical technology, the rate of return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest has been improved.However, many children suffer from multiple organ dysfunction because of the long hypoxia time from cardioplumonary arrest, so the rate of long-term survival is relatively low and the long-term outcome is still not satisfactory.Therefore, how to make cardiopulmonary resuscitation more effective is the focus of current research.This article reviews the related factors that affect the outcome of resuscitation, providing references for the treatment of cardiopulmonary arrest in children.
2.All trans retinoic acid-induced overexpression of Cx43 gene in RB cells and its inhibition on the growth of RB
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2014;32(10):910-915
Background One of the important machanisms of all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is to regulate the expression of connexin (Cx) gene.ATRA inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of retinoblastoma (RB) cells,which is related to Cx43.However,the control site of ATRA and its effect on RB tumor in vivo have not been identified.Objective This study was to investigate the effect of ATRA on Cx43 expression in RB cells and its approach mechanisms.Methods ATRA solution of 1 × 10 2 mol/L was prepared with ethanol and formulated into 1×10 5,1×10-6and 1 × 10 7 mol/L of solution with culture medium further.Human RB cell line (HXO-RB44) was cultured and treated with different concentrations of ATRA for 2,4 and 6 days,respectively.The expressions of Cx43 protein and mRNA in RB cells were detected by Western blot and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR),respectively.RB models were established by injecting HXO-RB44 cell suspension into anterior chamber in the right eyes of 15 athymic mice.Eleven successful models were divided into the blank control group,negative control group and 1 × 10-5 mol/L ATRA group,and 0.5% normal saline solution with athymic or 1 ×10-5 mol/L ATRA solution was injected into the anterior chamber in the negative control group and 1 × 10-5 mol/L ATRA group in the 3-day interval for 3 weeks.The model eyes were examined under the slit lamp microscope.The eyeballs were extracted at the end of the experiment for hematoxylin and eosin staining.Results Western blot assay showed that the absorbance values of Cx43 protein (ACx43/AGAPDH) were increased gradually as time lapse of ATRA treatment among the groups (Ftime =71.31,P =0.00; Fgroup =7.66,P =0.00).The expressions of Cx43 protein were significantly higher in the 1 × 10 5 mol/L ATRA group after 2 days,1 × 10-6 mol/L ATRA group after 4 days,1 × 10-7 mol/L ATRA group after 6 days than those in the blank control group at various time points (t =3.34,P<0.01 ;t =2.33,P<0.05;t =3.12,P< 0.01).RT-PCR showed that the absorbance values of Cx43 mRNA (ACx43mRXA/Aβ-actin) were significantly enhanced as the prolong of treatment time of ATRT among the groups (Ftime =90.90,P =0.00 ; Fgroup =6.86,P =0.00).The expressions of Cx43 mRNA were significantly higher in the 1 × 10-5 mol/L ATRA group after 2 days,1 × 10 6 mol/L ATRA group and 1 ×10-7 mol/L ATRA group after 4 days than those in the blank control group at various time points (t=3.57,P<0.01 ;t=6.31,P<0.01 ;t=2.22,P<0.05).RB models were successfully created in 11 eyes on the 6-9 days following the intrachamber injection of RB cell suspension.The RB cells were filled with chamber in the blank control group 20 days after injection,and RB only occupied half of the anterior chamber in the 1 × 10-5 mol/L ATRA group.Histopathological examination exhibited that the RB cells were seen in the anterior and posterior chamber as well as vitreous in the blank control group,however,the cells were only found in the anterior chamber in the 1 × 10 5 mol/L ATRA group.Conclusions ATRA can inhibit the growth of RB in vitro and in vivo by inducing the expression of Cx43 gene in transcription process.

Journal of Clinical Neurology 2017;30(2):120-123
Objective To construct and identify the shRNA plasmid vector targeting nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2),and to collect the strongest RNAi effect of Nrf2 shRNA sequence.Methods Nrf2 gene was targeted gene.Three shRNA sequences were designed by software and synthesized by chemical method: shRNA-1,shRNA-2 and shRNA-3.The double strand shRNA oligo was ligated to the vector.The construct was verified by sequencing analysis.BV2 cells were transfected with expressing shRNA plasmid vectors using Lipofectamine 2000.The expression of Nrf2 in the levels of mRNA was detected by real-time PCR,and Western Blot was adopted to abserve the expression of Nrf2 protein.Results Sequencing analysis suggested that the shRNA vectors targeting Nrf2 possessed correct nucleotide sequence and read frame.The result of Real-time PCR and Western Blot showed that the sequence of shRNAi-3 could more effectively knockdown the expression level of Nrf2 than the others.Conclusions The shRNA vectors targeting Nrf2 are successfully constructed and the shRNA can signidicantly inhibit the expression of Nrf2.These findings could provide an experimental basis for further study on Nrf2 signaling pathway in stroke field.

10.Left ventricular torsion and untwisting in patients with coronary artery disease by speckle tracking imaging
Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2010;19(5):369-373
Objective To evaluate left ventricular torsion and untwisting in patients with coronary artery disease by speckle tracking imaging. Methods Study population consisted of 48 patients, who were diagnosed coronary artery disease initially and received one of coronary arteriography, coronary artery spiral computerized tomography, radionuclide imaging, interventional therapy and bypass surgery. High frame rate (≥60 frame/s) two-dimensional dynamic images of the left ventricular apical long-axis views and parasternal short-axis views at basal and apical levels were recorded. Rotation was measured in the left ventricular short-axis views using 2D strain software. Left ventricular torsion was defined as relative rotation degree between the apical level and basal level. Patients were divided into three groups according to clinic final diagnosis [myocardial infarction ( MIN) group, n = 19; myocardial ischemia ( MIS) group, n =19; normal coronary artery (Contrast) group, n - 10]. Results In MIS group,peak rotation value and rotation value at aortic valve closure in basal level were smaller than those in apical level. Untwisting rate reduced in MIN group. There was linear correlation between left ventricular peak torsion and end-diastolic diameter. There was aslo linear correlation between left ventricular peak torsion and eject fraction. Left ventricular peak rotation at basal level was correlative to eject fraction. Left ventricular untwisting rate had linear correlation to eject fraction, and also had correlation to peak torsion. Conclusions In patients with myocardial ischemia, left ventricular rotation value at apical level is larger than that at basal level. Left ventricular diastolic function is injured severely in patients with myocardial infarction. Untwisting rate is a quantitative index to evaluate myocardial diastolic function.
