To study the expression of matrical metalloproteinases 2 and 9 (MMP 2 ,MMP 9 ) in human renal cell carcinoma(hRCC) and its relation to prognosis, 36 specimens of human renal cell carcinoma (hRCC) and 6 normal kidneys served as controls were assessed by immunohistochemistry (SP method). The results showed that the positive expression rates of MMP 2 , MMP 9 in hRCC were 44 4% and 52 8%,respectively. There was a significant difference in expression between various grades and stages of hRCC. The expected survival time was shorter in patients with higher expresson of MMP 2 and MMP 9 . Therefore, MMP 2 and MMP 9 are considered as important factors in invasive metastasis and prognosis of hRCC.

AIM: To evaluate effects of Pinaverium Bromide on different segments and layers of colonic smooth muscle in wrap restraint stress (WRS) rats and explore its possible therapeutic mechanism on different types of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). METHODS: Adult SD rats were randomly divided into model group (wrap restraint stress group) and control group. Colonic smooth muscle strips were made from different segments and layers in two groups. The spontaneous contraction activities of colonic longitudinal/circular muscle (LM/CM) strips of rats were observed with organ bath system before and after addition of series concentrations of pinaverium. RESULTS: Pinaverium Bromide caused concentration-dependent inhibition of colonic smooth muscle, the inhibitory effect of pinaverium in model group was significantly stronger than that in control group(proximal colon: 28.54±4.82 vs 7.48±1.65,21.75±1.00 vs 12.56±3.15; distal colon: 15.71±5.27 vs 3.89±1.16, 20.16±3.16 vs 7.56±1.96 )(P<0.05). Compared with that of distal colon, inhibitory effect of pinaverium was significantly higher of proximal colon (P<0.05). For the inhibition of pinaverium, there was no significant difference between LM and CM strips in the same intestinal segments (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Effects of Pinaverium Bromide on different colonic muscle layers and segments in WRS rats is probably related with its therapeutic mechanism on different types of IBS.

Objective To investigate the changes of calmodulin kinase Ⅱ (CaMK Ⅱ) and cAMP responsive element binding protein(CREB) expressing in primary cultured hippocampal neurons and its relationship with learning and memory deficit after 2000 μW/cm2 electromagnetic radiation.Methods Primary cultured hippocampal neurons in vitro were randomly divided into normal control group,sham-radiated group,and 1 h/d,2 h/d,3 h/dradiation groups.The neurons in the radiation groups were received microwave exposure of 2000 μW/cm2.The change of CaMK Ⅱ and CREB protein in hippocampal neurons of each group of rats were measured with western blot,and the expression of CaMK Ⅱ and CREB mRNA in hippocampus were determined by RT-PCR.Results Compared with control group((0.78 ± 0.07),(0.62 ± 0.12)),the expression of CaMK Ⅱ protein (1 h/d(0.59 ±0.05),2h/d(0.44 ±0.08),3h/d(0.18 ±0.04)) and its mRNA(1h/d(0.41 ±0.08),2h/d(0.34 ±0.04),3h/d(0.24 ±0.02)) was obviously decreased (P＜0.05).Compared with control group((0.69 ±0.10),(0.80 ±0.12)),the expression of CREB protein(1h/d(0.49 ±0.05),2h/d(0.4 ±0.04),3h/d(0.17 ±0.03))and its mRNA (1 h/d (0.68 ± 0.11),2h/d (0.53 ± 0.08),3h/d (0.30 ± 0.03)) was obviously decreased after radiation(P＜0.05).Conclusion Electromagnetic radiation of 2000 μW/cm2 exposure could weaken the learning and memory abilities of rats and the decreases in the expression of CaMK Ⅱ and CREB protein and their mRNA in hippocampus may be involved in the pathophysiological process of learning and memory deficit.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of S-1 capsules combined with recombinant human end-ostatin in the treatment of middle and advanced primary liver carcinoma. METHODS:Totally 94 patients with middle and advanced primary liver carcinoma in the First College of Clinical Medical Science of China Three Gorges university during Feb. 2012-Dec. 2014 were divided into combination group(48 cases)and control group(46 cases)according to random number table. Both groups were given S-1 capsules 40-60 mg orally within 30 min after breakfast and supper. Combination group additionally received Recom-binant human endostatin injection 150 mg added into 0.9%Sodium chloride injection 210 mL with portable micro pump for continu-ous pump of 120 h. A course involved 14 d treatment and 7 d interval. Short-term objective therapeutic efficacy,clinical benefit re-sponse (CBR) and ADR were evaluated after 2 courses. Disease progression time and average survival period were compared be-tween 2 groups. RESULTS:Objective response rate,disease control rate,disease progression time and average survival period of combination group were 14.6%,66.7%,(5.5 ± 1.3) months,(10.7 ± 3.8) months;those of control group were 8.7%,45.6%, (4.8±1.2)months,(8.9±3.3)months,with statistical significance between 2 groups(P<0.05). CBR rate of combination group (79.2%)was significantly higher than control group(52.2%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical sig-nificance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:S-1 combined with recombinant human end-ostatin show good therapeutic efficacy and tolerance for patients with middle and advanced primary liver carcinoma,and do not in-crease the incidence of ADR.

BACKGROUND:XH1 type self-ligating bracket is a novel appliance of straight wire appliance.Currently,the majority of clinically applied self-ligating brackets are imported,which has low friction,short course of treatment,simple and efficient clinical practice.However,its cost is also very high.Therefore,we designed and developed the bracket.OBJECTIVE:Through the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation of XH1-type self-ligating bracket grooves,to perform the energy spectrum analysis of bracket,compare with the other bracket,and test the static and dynamic friction of this bracket.METHODS:A total of 4 kinds of upper right canine brackets,XH1-type self-ligating brackets,2E1 brackets (Shanghai),TP Straight Wire Bracket (USA),and AO self-ligating bracket (USA) were used.Brackets and arch wire were combined,respectively and tested on the XF-1-type friction tester.The friction mv-ms change marked and saved by Fluke190-type oscilloscope was recorded.The compile software graphics Matlab2007 was used to smooth the graph to remove abnormal data.The maximum static friction and a corresponding voltage (mV) value dynamic friction were obtained,and converted into force values,followed by statistical analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Different brackets had different static and dynamic frictions.The static and dynamic friction TP-type bracket was higher than XHl-type bracket's.There was no difference between 2E1 and TP bracket,AO and XH1 bracket.This XH1-type self-ligating brackets is a self-developed product,with small static and dynamic friction,simple sterilization,and low cost,which allow widely clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of phosphotyrosine interaction domain containing 1 (PID1, NYGGF4) on promotion of IR and HCC, and explore its underlying mechanisms. METHODS Lentivirus were used to mediate the knockdown of PID1 in HFD induced IR mouse model as well as ob/ob mice. Intraperitoneal glucose and insulin tolerance were performed 4 weeks after lentivirus injection. Hydrodynamics-based transfection was applied to inducethe liver specific overexpression of PID1. Flow cytometry was exerted to detect the proportion and function of immune cells. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of downstream pathways of PID1.Immunoprecipitation was used to determine the receptor of PID1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was operated to measure the modification of H3K4me3 of PID1 promoter. RESULTS PID1 restriction improved insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and fatty liver. Conversely, hepatic knockdown of PID1 attenuated liver xenografted tumor growth. Moreover, PID1 liver- specific protooncogenes via hydrodynamics- based transfection established a primary hepatocellular carcinoma mouse model, induced an immunosuppressive environment, with the reduction of CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +T cells, retarded maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), pronounced differentiation of regulatory T cells (Tregs), and recruitment of MDSC. In addition, PID1 overexpression activated proliferation related genes, promoted anti- inflammatory genes, suppressed pro-inflammatory genes, induced glycolysis and lipid metabolism genes to facilitate tumorigenesis in liver. Importantly, PID1 exerted its tumor-promoting function through binding to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and activation of downstream MAPK pathway. As such, PID1 exist trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) modification and IR up-regulated the expression of PID1 by activation the H3K4me3 modification. CONCLUSION PID1 is a new gene that exerts both liver cancer-promoting and insulin resistance inducing function. IR accelerates liver cancer development and progression partially dependent on the activation of PID1.
