Objective To study the effect of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inhibition by small interference RNA (siRNA) on the apoptosis of DTC cells treated by 131 I.Methods DNA binding assay was performed at 24 h after 131I treatment (2 × 104 MBq/L) on KTC-1 cells.The cell survival assay was conducted at 48 h after 131 I treatment.Western blot was used to detect the changes of NF-κB p65 at 6 h after 131I treatment,and the changes of anti-apoptotic factors and apoptotic key factors at 24 h after 131 I treatment.The anti-apoptotic factors included in this study were X chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP),cellular inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (cIAP1) and B-cell lymphoma extra large (Bcl-xL),and the apoptotic key factors were caspase 3 and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP).A total of 4 groups were studied for the detection of p65 and anti-apoptotic factors by Western blot:no oligonucleotide transfection control group (A),no oligonucleotide transfection + 131I group (B),scrambled oligonucleotides transfection + 131I group (C) and p65 siRNA transfection + 131I group (D).Another 6 groups of studies were:oligonucleotide transfection control group (1),scrambled oligonucleotides transfection group (2),p65 siRNA transfection group (3),no oligonueleotide transfection + 131I group (4),scrambled oligonucleotides transfection +131I group (5) and p65 siRNA transfection + 131I group (6).One-way analysis of variance and q test were performed for statistical analysis.Results The results of DNA binding assays for the 6 groups (1,2,3,4,5,6) were (100.00 ± 11.65)％,(96.00 ± 17.98)％,(9.28 ±5.01)％,(322.72 ±50.81)％,(311.36 ±44.81)％ and (36.96 ± 15.66)％,respectively (F =137.74,P ＜0.01).NF-κB functions were strengthened with 131 I treatment (qgrouo 4∶1 =10.90,qroup 5∶2 =11.38,both P ＜ 0.01).However,NF-κB p65 siRNA transfection could inhibit NF-κB functions (qgroup1∶3 =18.25,qgroup4∶6 =13.71,both P ＜0.01).Cell survival rates of the 6 groups were (100.00 ± 11.65)％,(96.32 ± 9.44)％,(70.88 ±7.41)％,(64.16 ±9.50)％,(62.24 ±9.37)％ and (28.64 ±6.74)％ (F=52.76,P＜0.01).There were significant differences between groups 3 and 6,groups 4 and 6 (q =10.76 and 7.79,both P ＜ 0.01).Western blot results showed that the expression of NF-κB p65 in the 4 groups (A,B,C,D) were (56.60 ±7.37)％,(111.07 ± 13.31)％,(113.16± 15.04)％ and (12.46 ±2.74)％,respectively (F=60.17,P ＜ 0.01).The t65 levels increased with 131 I treatment (qgroup B∶A =6.20,qroup c∶ A =5.85,both P ＜0.01); while decreased significantly using NF-κB p65 siRNA transfection (qgroup B:D =-12.57; qgroupC∶D =11.41,both P ＜ 0.01).Western blot results showed that XIAP,cIAP1 and Bcl-xL in the 4 groups were (17.59±1.96)％,(16.45± 1.85)％ and (19.92 ±2.22)％; (98.37± 17.92)％,(109.81 ±19.16)％ and (95.59 ±22.20)％ ; (98.43 ±18.71)％,(98.86± 15.88)％ and (100.99 ±21.70)％ ;(7.00 ± 0.95) ％,(5.86 ± 0.35) ％ and (9.52 ± 0.90) ％,respectively (F =44.22,56.51 and 29.11,all P ＜ 0.01).131 I treatment induced higher expression of all the 3 genes (qgroup B∶ A =7.76,8.40 and 5.88,all P ＜0.01),while NF-κB p65 siRNA transfection,on the contrary,reduced the expression of all the 3 genes (qgroupB:D =8.82,9.40 and 6.71,all P ＜0.01).There were significant differences of p19,p17,p116 and p89 in the 6 groups(F =39.03,48.45,32.56,52.20,all P ＜ 0.01),especially among group 3,4 and 6 (q =3.18-9.98,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions 131I could activate NF-κB function and enhance the expressions of anti-apoptotic factors.NF-κB p65 siRNA transfection could effectively suppress this effect and therefore magnify 131I induced apoptosis in DTC cells.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of miR-497 on regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis by targeting Bcl-2 in liver cancer cells. Methods:We tested liver cancer tissue and para-carcinoma tissue and used RT-PCR or Western blot to detect the expression of miR-497and Bcl-2 protein. We also tested the liver cancer cel HepG2 transfected with miR-497 mimics and mimic control. The expressions of miR-497and Bcl-2 protein were detected by RT-PCR or Western blot. Cell proliferation activity was detected by the MTT method, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, and cel luciferase activity was detected by the dual-luciferase reporter gene experiment. Results:1) Compared with para-carcinoma tissue, the miR-497 expression of liver cancer tissue significantly decreased (P<0.05), whereas the Bcl-2 protein expression of liver cancer tissue significantly increased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with transfection mimic control, transfection miR-497 mimics could increase the miR-497 expression of liver cancer cel HepG2 (P<0.05) and decrease the Bcl-2 protein expression of liver cancer cel HepG2 (P<0.05). 3) Compared with transfection mimic control, co-transfection with miR-497 mimics and Bcl-2-WT could significantly decrease the luciferase activity of liver cancer cell HepG2 (P<0.05). 4) Compared with transfection mimic control, the proliferative activity of liver cancer cell HepG2 significantly decreased after transfection with miR-497 mimics (P<0.05). Compared with transfection miR-497 mimics, the proliferative activity of liver cancer cell HepG2 significantly increased after transfection with miR-497 mimics+Bcl-2 (P<0.05). 5) Compared with transfection mimic control, the total apoptosis rate of liver cancer cell HepG2 significantly increased after transfection with miR-497 mimics (P<0.05). Compared with transfection miR-497 mimics, the total apoptosis rate of liver cancer cell HepG2 significantly decreased after transfection with miR-497 mimics+Bcl-2 (P<0.05). Conclusion:In liver cancer cel s, miR-497 could target Bcl-2 to inhibit cel proliferation and enhance cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the value of using gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment in adenomyosis patients before adenomyomectomy. Methods From May 2012 to September 2015, 87 patients with adenomyosis who were non-effective to conservative therapy in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled in this study. According to the principle of randomized control, 41 patients were in the treatment group who were treated with GnRH-a 2-3 cycles before adenomyomectomy, while 46 patients in the control group. The control group paients were operated without any pretreatments. The blood loss, the number of penetrating into uterine cavity, duration of operation, duation of peritoneal drainage and the amount of drainage fluid, the difference of hemoglobin value before and after operation, total white blood cell count, duration of hospitalization, the maximum diameter of uterus and other indicators between the two groups were compared. Results In the treatment group, before and after treatment with GnRH-a, the uterus size, blood hemoglobinand CA125 value were statistically different (all P<0.05);between the treatment group of GnRH-a treated for 2 cycles and for 3 cycles, there were statistical differences of blood hemoglobin value [(108 ± 20) versus (118 ± 24) g/L], CA125 value [(26 ± 11) versus(19 ± 4) kU/L; all P<0.05]. There were statistical differences of blood loss in operation [(113 ± 32) versus (194 ± 42) ml], ratio of penetrating into uterine cavity [12%(5/41) versus 12%(8/46)], duration of operation[(79±23) versus (91±25) minutes], duration of peritoneal drainage after operation [(2.1±0.9) versus (3.0±1.2) days] and the amount of drainage fluid [(152±43) versus (232±32) ml], the difference of hemoglobin value before and after surgery [(-15.6±2.9) versus (-23.7±3.5) g/L], white blood cell count after 2-3 days of operation [(11.4±4.2)×109/L versus (13.5 ± 3.2) × 109/L], ratio of peri-operative blood transfusion [5% (2/41) versus 20% (9/46)] and duration of hospitalization [(11.2±1.9) versus (13.6±3.1) days] between the treatment group and the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion The pretreatment of using GnRH-a before adenomyomectomy in adenomyosis patients has benefits for implementation of surgery and reducing peri-operative and postoperative complications.

Prosthesis-patient mismatch occurs when the effective orifice area of the prothesis is too small according to the patient's body size after insertion, which may consequently result in consistent presence of eignificant residual transvalvular pressure gradients postoperativtly, hampeeing the prognoses of patients. Currency the indexed effective oeitice area measured by postoperative transthoracic echocardiography is considered the only appropriate parameter which can accurately desceibe the mismatch. Valves of various types can have very different indexed effective orifice areas, so the incidence of mismatch also vaeies. Recently, the mismatch following transcatheter aortic valve implantation is drawing increasing attention. The clinical implication of prosthesis-patient mismatch is still debated. Many factors, including the indices, standard and other mixing factors, together with the age, preoperative cardiac function and types of valve disease of patients can be related to the mismatch, the previous conclusions have been various. Prosthesis-patient mismatch may cause a greater influence to patients with left heart dysfunction and young patients. It can be largtly prevented by choosing prostheses of appropriate size or by enlarging the aortic root by operation if necessary; a final decision should be made according to the patients' condition. Severe mismatch and mismatch in patients with severe cardiac dysfunction should be avoided. In this paper we reviews the recent progress on prosthesis-patient mismatch.
