Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a leading cause responsible for the failure of drug development and for the withdrawal of commercial drug products.The high frequency of DILI is due in part to the physiology of the liver,since in many cases elimination of drug molecules from the body is dependent on hepatic clearance via either metabolism or biliary excretion.Many of the mechanistic details underlying DILI remain poorly defined in spite of extensive studies of the pathogenesis.In this regard,metabolomics may become a powerful tool for investigation of DILI,leading to better mechanistic understanding and biomarkers identification.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.The treatment of glaucomatous eyes is a long-term procedure.Laser treatment is becoming one of the three major methods to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) of glaucomatous patients.Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) mainly targets to the pigment cells on the trabecular meshwork and makes it easier for fluid to flow out of the front part of the eye,decreasing pressure in the eye.But,the actual mechanism of this surgery is below understood now.Compared with other laser therapy,SLT uses a lower-level laser to open the drainage angle of the eye,and therefore cause rare or slight complication,so it is thought to be a repeatable therapy to the patients who needs further treatment.The principle,clinical application,efficacy,safety and study progress about SLT for glaucomatous eyes are reviewed.

Objective:To establish the granulocyte-differentiation model of the HL60 cells which are treated with All-trans retinoic acid(ATRA),and to use the modified two-dimensional electrophoresis conditions to analyze the differences of protein expression between treated and untreated HL60 cells.Methods:HL60 cells were induced through treatment with All-trans retinoic acid(ATRA).For selection of the appropriate drug concentration and induction time,MTT and flow cytometry are used to detect the HL60cell proliferation and the expression of differentiation antigens CD11b respectively.Cellular chemical staining was used for the verification of the differentiation of the treated HL60 cells.The protein of HL60 cell lines could be separated by modified two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE).PDQuest software was used to analyze the different protein expression between treated and untreated HL60 cells.The protein was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption -time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF).Results:ATRA could inhibit HL60 cell proliferation,and with the increase in drug concentration,the effect of inhibiting was more significant.Treated with 2? M ATRA for five days,there were more than 90% of HL60 cells expressing antigenCD11b.Cellular chemical staining also showed that ATRA could induce HL60 cells to granulocyte cells.By the analysis of modified 2-DE and PDQuest software,25 protein spots was detected in untreated cells,while 15 protein spots was promoted Some of them were oncogene protein and suppressor gene protein,while some of others are involved in apoptosis.Conclusion:ATRA could induce HL60 cells to granulocyte cells in selected drug concentration and induction time.Using the modified two-dimensional electrophoresis conditions,different protein expression can be found from the traditional two-dimensional electrophoresis.

[Summary] MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of endogenous small molecule non‐coding RNAs ,which can inhibit target gene expression via blocking protein translation or inducing mRNA degradation.MicroRNA is also involved in some important physiological processes ,such as cell development , differentiation ,proliferation and apoptosis. Recently ,studies have shown that miRNA plays a role in the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). This article summarized the research progress of correlation between miRNAs and DR.

Objective To investigate the expressions of RTN4 and TG2 in papillary thyroid cancer tissues and their clinical pathological significance.Methods A total of 40 samples of papillary thyroid cancer tissues and 20 samples of para‐carcinoma tissues were collected from the Department of Pathology ,Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University ,China.The expression levels of RTN4 and TG2 were detected by means of immunohistochemical staining and their relationship with clinicopathological charac‐teristics of papillary thyroid carcinoma was analyzed.SPSS 13.0 soft package was used for one‐way analysis of variance and SNK test of the average absorbance and the average positive area rate (α=0.05).Bivariate correlation analysis of the positive area rate of the expressions of RTN4 and TG2 was conducted (α=0.05).Results ①The expression levels of RTN4 and TG2 were much higher in the papillary thyroid carcinoma tissues than those in the para‐carcinoma tissues (P<0.05). ② The expres‐sion levels of RTN4 and TG2 were significantly higher in lymph node metastasis group than those in the group without lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).The positive expression rates of RTN4 and TG2 were much higher in clinical stage Ⅰand Ⅱ groups than those in clinical stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ groups (P<0.05).They were significantly increased in low differentiation group than in high or moderate differentiation group (P< 0.05).The expressions of RTN4 and TG2 were not statistically associated with tumor size ,age and sex (P>0.05). ③The positive correlation was found between the expressions of RTN4 and TG2 in papilla‐ry thyroid carcinoma tissues (r=0.587 ,P<0.05).Conclusion ① The expressions of RTN4 and TG2 were up‐regulated in pa‐pillary thyroid carcinoma tissues ,which is related with over‐proliferation and increase of apoptosis resistance of cancer cells. ②RTN4 and TG2 play an important role in the proliferation and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. ③ RTN4 and TG2 may play a synergistic role in the development of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To explore the clinical application of two different fixation methods for nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in newborns. Methods One hundred and forty newborns who had NCPAP treatment were selected and divided into experimental group and control group with 70 cases in each group by random digits table method.The newborns in experimental group received self- made caps to fix the prong systems,while the newborns in control group received U shape towel. The incidence of nose, head of facial skin injury, frequency of detachment for nasal prongs and duration mechanical ventilation were compared between two groups. Results The frequency of detachment for nasal prongs per 24 h was (0.65±0.18) times in experimental group and (1.64±0.22) times in control group, and there was significant difference (t=28.68, P<0.01). The incidence of nose, head of facial skin injury were 8.6%(6/70), 2.9%(2/70) in experimental group and 27.1%(19/70), 14.3%(10/70) in control group,and there were significant differences ( χ2 =8.23, 5.83, P<0.01 or 0.05). There was no significant difference in duration mechanical ventilation between two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions Use of the self- made caps for NCPAP in newborns is associated with significant reduction in the incidence of nose, head of facial skin injury,and the frequency of detachment for nasal prongs.The fixation should be prompted in clinic.

Objective To explore specific risk factors in the early seizures after acute moderate and severe head injuries and understand incidence of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) under coma. Methods Eighty-six patients with acute moderate and severe head injuries were monitored with video-electroencephalogram (video-EEG) for one week. Results (1) Of all, 7 cases (8.14%) had clinical seizures and 6 (6.98%) NCSE. (2) In patients with severe head injuries especially intracranial hemorrhage, post-traumatic seizures especially NCSE were more likely to occur, with no significant difference in sex and age. Conclusions Severe and critical head injuries and intracranial hemorrhage are specific risk factors for early post-traumatic seizures, especially NCSE. After brain injury, EEG should be used to evaluate traumatic coma even if clinical seizure does not appear.

Objective To observe the effect of pre-intervention with electroacupuncture on oxidative stress (OS) and inflammatory reaction after hepatectomy under portal occlusion.Method Thirty patients going to receive hepatectomy under Pringle's portal occlusion were randomized into an electroacupuncture group and a sham electroacupuncture group, 15 cases each. Three days prior to the surgery, the patients started to receive corresponding acupuncture or sham electroacupuncture treatment by selecting bilateral Riyue (GB24), Qichong (ST30) and Yanglingquan (GB34), once a day. The anesthesia method was general (inhalational and intravenous) anesthesia. Central venous blood was drawn before the surgery, and respectively 6 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after the surgery to examine the OS-relatedparameters, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as the inflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and IL-10.Result Compared to the sham electroacupuncture group, the SOD activity significantly increased (241±11.4 U/mL,180±12.6 U/mL,P<0.05) and the MDA level significantly dropped in the electroacupuncture group at 6 h and 24 h after the surgery(11.0±0.8 mmol/L,10.0±0.9 mmol/L,P<0.05); there were no significant between-group differences in the rest indexes (P>0.05).Conclusion Pre-intervention with electroacupuncture can up-regulate the activity of SOD and down-regulate the level of MDA in patients after hepatic portal occlusion, and thus partially reduce OS, but it doesn't shownoticeable effecton inflammatory response.
