Ammonia toxicity has been generally accepted as one of the classic theories of the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Ammonia induces changes in neurological system energy metabolism, oxidative stress, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), GABA and Glutamatergic neurotransmission, intracellular signal transduction and Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) expression, astrocyte swelling is another important consequence of ammonia neurotoxicity. This article reviewed the role of these factors in the mechanism of HE and ammonia toxicity.

[ABSTRACT]AIM:ToinvestigatetheeffectofmiR-155-specificsiRNAaloneorincombinationwithcytosinear-abinoside (Ara-C) on the growth and apoptosis of Burkitt lymphoma Raji cells .METHODS: miR-155-specific siRNA and/or Ara-C were used to treat the cells .Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expres-sion of miR-155.The growth of the cells was analyzed by CKK-8 assay.The cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytome-try.RESULTS:The miR-155 expression level of the cells transfected with miR-155 siRNA was significantly lower than that in the 2 control groups .Ara-C or miR-155 siRNA alone inhibited the growth of Raji cells in a dose-depend manner . miR-155 siRNA combined with Ara-C produced more inhibition of cell proliferation (P<0.05).After treatment for 48 h, the apoptotic rate of Raji cells in miR-155 siRNA+Ara-C group [(38.4 ±1.4)%] was higher than that in Ara-C group [(16.5 ±0.3)%] and miR-155 siRNA group [(14.6 ±0.3)%], with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The expression of caspase-3 in Ara-C+miR-155 siRNA group was increased significantly as compared with Ara-C group and miR-155 siRNA group.CONCLUSION:miR-155-specific siRNA enhances the chemosensitivity of Raji cells to Ara-C by inducing apoptosis through the caspase-3 pathway .

Objective To explore the value of transthoracic echocardiography in diagnosis of univentricle and analyze the sonogram typing. Methods The results of 66 patients with univentricle were reviewed retrospectively,and analayzed their typing connected with the reports in the literature. Results There were 3 ultrasonic types in 66 cases:①Type A(single left ventricle) 19 cases,single ventricle with left ventricular shape,residual cavity in front of it. ②Type B(single right ventricle) 38 cases, single ventricle with right ventricular form,and residual cavity in the rear.③Type C (solitary single-ventricle) 9 cases,there was only one ventricle. Thirty-one of them were treated surgically, 5 cases without operation had MRI or cardiac catheterization examination and the remaining 26 patients were only observed by echocardiography,the positive rate of diagnosis in type was 100%, the results were compared with cardiac catheterization or MRI examination and the operation: 1 cases of mixed type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection was misdiagnosed as heart-type total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. But 1 case of descending aorta limitations narrow complicated patent ductus arteriosus(PDA), PDA was missed. The rest were completely correct diagnosis. Conclusions The transthoracic echocardiography can be used to evaluate types and all containing malformations of univentricle,and offers reliable information for operation.

Objective To investigate the association between Metabolic syndrome and colon cancer.Methods A literature search was performed through PubMed,Ovidsp,CNKI and Wangfang Data within the time limit of January 1 990 to May 2014.Ac-cording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the studies were screened and the data were extracted.Then Meta-analysis was per-formed using Stata Statistical Software version 12.0.Results A total of 8 studies(6 cohort studies and 2 case-control studies)met the inclusion criteria.Meta analysis showed that patients with Metabolic syndrome had a higher risk of colon cancer incidence com-pared with the control group without Metabolic syndrome(OR =1.43,95%CI :1.23 - 1.66,P <0.05 ).Stratified analysis showed Metabolic syndrome had a higher risk of colon cancer incidence in male(OR=1.50,95%CI :1.22-1.84,P <0.05),but in female, this association was not found(OR=1.39,95%CI :0.98- 1.96,P =0.07).In addition,Meta analysis showed that Metabolic syn-drome was not associated with an increased risk of colon cancer mortality(OR=1.22,95%CI :0.92-1.63,P =0.1 7).Conclusion This Meta analysis indicated a positive association between Metabolic syndrome and colon cancer incidence in male,but not in fe-male.Metabolic syndrome might not be associated with an increased risk of colon cancer mortality,yet it needs more prospective co-hort studies to confirm the conclusion.

Objective To investigate the effect of clotrimazole on apoptosis of hepatic cells after ischemia-reperfusion injury and its mechanism. Methods Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion rat model was established. Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into sham-operated group, model control group, low dose clotrimazole group and high dose clotrimazole group. Apoptosis in hepatic tissue was assessed by TUNEL method. Protein expression levels of CYP3A1,Bcl-2,Bax and PARP were measured by Western blotting. Results As compared with model control group, the apoptosis rate, tissue injury,activity of plasma enzymes and the Bax/Bcl-2 expression ratio were reduced in low and high dose clotrimazole groups. The apoptotic index in both clotrimazole-treated groups was lower than that of model control group with statistically significant difference. CYP3A1 expression was significantly induced by clotrimazole compared to the sham-operated group. Conclusion Clotrimazole may inhibit apoptosis of hepatic cells by up-regulating Bcl-2 and down-regulating Bax, thus produce a protective effect on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury and it is also related to the inhibition of PARP shear.

Objective To investigate the effect and its mechanism of diazoxide on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) of rats after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,I/R group,and diazoxide pretreatment groups of low,middle,large dose (5,10,20 mg/kg).The I/R models of rats were performed to undergo middle cerebral artery embolism by thread.BBB permeability was estimated by Evans blue (EB) dyeing,transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to observe the modification of interendothelial tight junction (TJ) of capillaries.The expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in every rat brain tissues was detected by immunity histochemistry technique.Results (1) Compared to sham operation group,the permeability extent of EB were significantly increased by I/R,which was distinctly attenuated in middle and large dose of diazoxide pretreatment rats,while no obvious changes were found between I/R and low dose groups.(2) TEM showed that TJ of the brain tissue opened after I/R injury and no significant opening of TJ was observed in middle and large dose of diazoxide preconditioning groups.(3) Compared to sham operation group,the expression of AQP4 in the brain tissue of the I/R group was apparently increased (P <0.01).Compared to I/R group,the expression of AQP4 was apparently increased in middle and large dose pretreatment groups (P < 0.01),and there were no obvious difference between low dose group and the I/R group.Conclusions Preconditioning of ischemia/reperfusion injury with diazoxide protects the blood-brain barrier,which may due to keep the TJ closed and decrease expression of AQP4 protein.
