Aim To investigate the protective effect of isorhamnetin on H9 C2 myocardial cell line and its mechanisms. Methods The toxicity and optimal pro-tective concentration of isorhamnetin were determined by MTT assay. The experimental subjects were divided into four groups:group N ( normal ) , group M ( mod-el) , group M + ISO ( model + isorhamnetin ) , and group ISO ( isorhamnetin only ) . Group M +ISO and ISO were pre-incubated with isorhamnetin for 12 hours while other groups with plain DMEM. Group M and M+ ISO were treated with 300μmol · L-1 H2 O2 for 4 hours after pre-incubation. Mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization of H9 C2 was measured by fluo-rescence microscope. Apoptotic rate and ROS produc-tion of injured myocardial cell line were detected using
flow cytometry. The oxidative indictors were measured by spectrophotometry. The expressions of cytoplasmic cytochrome C, caspase-9, caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, Nrf2 and HO-1 were examined by Western blot. Result There was no difference in mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, apoptotic rate, ROS produc-tion, oxidative indictors production and expressions of cytoplasmic cytochrome C, caspase-9,caspase-3, Bcl-2 , Bax between groups ISO and N ( P>0. 05 ) . Apop-totic rate, ROS production, expressions of cytoplasmic cytochrome C, caspase-9, caspase-3, Bax, MDA pro-duction of group M+ISO were significantly lower than those of group M ( P < 0. 01 ) . And mitochondrial membrane potential, Bcl-2, CAT, SOD and GSH-Px of group M + ISO were increased compared to group M .
Nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and expression of HO-1 in myocardial cell line were increased with the prolonged isorhamnetin incubation time. Conclusion Isorham-netin could protect myocardial cell line against H2 O2-induced oxidative injury and apoptosis through the in-
terruption of mitochondrial dependent apoptotic path-way and activation of Nrf2/ARE pathway.

Objective To investigate the relationship and clinicopathologic significance between the expression of CD95,CD44V6 and metastasis of axillary lymph node in breast cancer.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of CD95 and CD44V6 in 101 cases of breast cancer, in which, 40 cases without metastasis in axillary lymph node were detected MCK expression by IHC. The results were analyzed statistically. Results 9 cases of breast cancer with lymph node micrometastasis were observed by IHC in 40 cases without metastasis in axillary lymph node by microscope. The expression of CD95, CD44V6 in lymph node metastasis group was similar as in lymph node micrometastasis group. There was significant difference of CD95 expression between those with lymph node metastasis and those without. The positive rate of CD95 and the high expression of CD44V6 in the cases that the tumor size was over 2 cm were significandy higher than in the cases that the tumor size was less than 2 cm (P<0.05). Conclusion Detection of the expression of CD95, CD44V6 in breast cancer may be helpful to predict the lymph node micrometastasis and provide more dependable evidence for judging prognosis and selecting treatment prescription clinically.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) in elderly patients. MethodsOne hundred and fifty-two elderly male CKD patients for experimental group and 158 elderly male for control group were recruited. Demographic data and vascular risk factors were recorded. White matter lesion (WML) was semi-quantitatively assessed by cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and lacunar infarction (LI) was also calculated. Results(1) The prevalenees of hypertentsion and diabetes mellitus were higher in elderly CKD patients than those in control group (30. 9% vs. 19.0%, 23.7%vs. 14.6%;both P~0. 05). (2) The percentages of grade 2 and grade 3 WMLs were higher in elderly CKD patients than those in control group (34.9% vs. 24.1%, 25.7% vs. 16.5%;both P<0.05). Prevalence of LI was higher in elderly CKD patients than that in control group (45.4% vs.25.3% ,X2= 13. 70, P<0. 05). The similar Resultswere also obtained except for control subjects with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. (3) The logistic regression analysis showed that age, hypertension and low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were closely associated with SVD in elderly CKD patients. ConclusionsHypertention and diabetes mellitus are risk factors for CKD in elderly patients. SVD is associated with CKD, and age, hypertension and low GFR may be risk factors for SVD in elderly CKD patients.

Objective To investigate the expressions of p16, cyclinD1 protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and its clinic significance. Methods The expressions of p16 and cyclinD1 protein in 55 esophageal carcinoma cases were detected by immunohistochemical technique. Results The positive expression of p16 protein in 55 patients was 49.1%(27/55). The loss of p16 protein was significantly related to lymph node metastasis (P <0.05), and the positive expression of p16 had the higher five-year survival rate.Conversely, the positive expression of cyclinD1 in 55 patients was 74.5 % (41/55), and had the lower five-year survival rate compared to the negative expression cases. Conclusion Loss of p16 protein in human ESCC is a frequent event and correlates significantly with the lymph node metastasis. The loss of p16 and the over expression of cyclinD 1 in esophageal carcinoma may serve as a risk prognosis factors.
