AIM: To observe the effect of heat shock protein 70(HSP70) expression induced by glutamine on Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharides(LPS)-induced vascular hyporeactivity in rats.METHODS: Twenty four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into: the control group (n=8); LPS shock group (n=8); glutamine(Gln) treated group (Gln 0.75 g?kg-1 iv, n=8). 6 h after LPS shock, phenylephrine (PE, 0.5-2.5 ?g?kg-1 ) was applied intravenously to all groups and the percentage increase in mean arterial pressure(MAP) was detected, respectively. The concentration-response curves of aorta rings were obtained by cumulative addition of phenylephrine (PE), and PE Emax, EC50 were calculated. The blood concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), TNF-? and IL-6 were assayed in all groups 30 min and 360 min after LPS shock, respectively. The expressions of HSP70 from heart and aorta were also assayed after 6 h LPS shock.RESULTS: The MAP level induced by PE significantly decreased by 51.4% in LPS shock group compared with the control (P

?AlM:To compare the effect of iris location guided sub-bowman keratomileusis ( SBK ) and iris location guided thin - flap laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASlK ) for extremely high myopia treatment.
?METHODS:lris location guided SBK was performed in 64 eyes of 32 patients with extremely high myopia and 42 eyes of 84 patients were received iris location guided thin-flap LASlK. All the patients’ spherical refraction was-9. 00D ~ - 11. 00D and the age was 22 ~ 35 years. Uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA) , refraction, split-lamp examination, topography examination, central corneal stroma thickness, thickness of central corneal flap, thickness of peripheral corneal flap and complication was examined in these patients and follow-up was 6mo.
?RESULTS:At 6mo after surgery, 93. 8% of the patients received iris location guided SBK and 92. 9% received iris location guided thin-flap LASlK achieved a UCVA better than 20/20. There was no significant difference between two groups. Refraction between ±0. 5D was 89. 1% of SBK group and 84. 5% of LASlK group. There was no significant difference. Corneal rear surface height of SBK was 0. 046±0. 012μm and LASlK was 0. 056±0. 015μm. Thickness of corneal stroma after surgery was 328. 6±14. 7μm in SBK group, while it was 301. 2±21. 6μm in LASlK group and there was significant difference ( t =3. 127, P=0. 001). BUT was 11. 38±4. 02s and 17. 81±4. 89s in SBK and LASlK group respectively, with no statistical difference. There was no serious complication in two groups.?CONCLUTlON:Both iris location guided SBK and thin-flap LASlK are effective for extremely high myopia, but SBK is safer and more predictive than thin-flap LASlK.

OBJECTIVE:To study the correlation between RRM2 expression of cervical cancer cell line C33a and Siha and cell sensitivity to gemcitabine(Gem). METHODS:C33a and Siha were treated with 0.1-3.2 μmol/L and 0.5-512 μmol/L of gemcitabine respectively for 72 h;cell viability was measured by MTT assay to calculate the value of IC50. The expression of RRM2 was mea-sured by Western blot and RT-PCR. Siha cell was treated with gradient concentration and large dose of Gem to establish Siha/Gem drug-resistant cell line. RNA interference technology knockdown the expression of RRM2 in Siha/Gem cell,and IC50 of Gem to cell was determined before and after knockdown. RESULTS:The IC50 values of Gem to Siha and C33a were 16.8 μmol/L and 0.63μmol/L. Compared with C33a cells,the expression of RRM2 in Siha cell was higher. Compared with Siha cells,Siha/Gem drug-re-sistant cell(drug resistant index of 16.26)showed higher RRM2 expression. Siha/Gem drug-resistant cell knockdown RRM2,IC50 of Gem to it was decreased,and inverse drug resistant times was 4.24. CONCLUSIONS:There is an negative correlation between RRM2 expression and Gem sensitivity in cervical cancer cell lines. The knockdown of RRM2 in Siha/Gem increases the sensitivity to Gem.

BACKGROUND:Ghrelin is a newly discovered brain-gut peptide from the stomach of human and rats. As an endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), ghrelin can notably stimulate the release of growth hormone. Although GHSR is expressed in many peripheral tissues, little is known about the influence of ghrelin on bone metabolism and GHSR expression in bone tissue. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of ghrelin in bone metabolism.METHODS:The first author retrieved CNKI, WanFang, PubMed, and Springerlink databases with the keywords ofGhrelin, bone metabolismin Chinese and English, respectively. The studies regarding ghrelin and its involvement in bone metabolism were included, and repetitive ones were excluded. A total of 53 eligible literatures were selected through skimming abstracts. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Ghrelin is a peptide composed of 28 amino acids discovered in gastric endocrine cells and hypothalamic arcuate nucleus in mice and human, which makes a great effect on digestive, nervous, immune and endocrine systems, and also plays a role in hormone secretion, glucose metabolism, immunity, cell proliferation, and inflammation. Serum ghrelin makes a certain influence on bone growth and development, and promotes the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts, and inhibits its apoptosis. Additionally, ghrelin suppresses the early osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells by upregulating the expression of Runx2 protein, and attenuates adipogenic differentiation by downregulating PPARγ2 expression, thus inducing osteogenic differentiation. However, few studies have addressed the expression of GHSR in bone tissue.
