1.Progress in studying of damage of venous valves in deep vein thrombosis
International Journal of Surgery 2013;40(9):625-628
Venous valve plays an important role in regulating the venous flow,especially in preventing the blood backflow.It has heen observed that when deep vein thrombosis and dissolved,the valves in the lesions had been destroied or dysfunction.The mechanism of damage of vein valve has not been fully clarified,but as we know,it's common that the inflammatory reaction,due to many unfavorable factors,can cause thrombosis.On the other hand,deep vein thrombosis could bring out the inflammatory reaction as well.So the author will review the development of researching of the destruction of venous valves in recent years.
2.The expression and clinical significance of TAK1 in esophageal cancer
The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(19):3084-3086,3087
Objective To examine the expression of transforming growth factor β(TGF-β) activated kinase 1 (TAK1) in esophageal organization and the impact of TAK1 expression on clinicopathologic data. Methods Specimens from 80 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma managed in our hospital were included in this study. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of TAK1 in 80 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues and 80 cases of normal esophageal mucosal tissues. All the specimens were confirmed by pathology for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma or esophageal normal tissues. Results The positive expression rate of TAK1 in esophageal cancer organizations and normal esophageal mucosal tissues were 80% and 11.25%, respectively. The positive expression rate of TAK1 in esophageal cancer were significantly higher than those in normal esophageal mucosal tissue (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate of TAK1 in esophageal cancer organizations has nothing to do with the age, sex, tumor differentiation degree and size (P>0.05), but with lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P<0.05). Patients with positive TAK1 expression had significantly lower five-year survival rate than those with tumors having positive TAK1 expression Conclusion TAK1 played an important role in the pathology and development of squamous cell carcinoma , and could be an important therapeutic target in the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of malignant transformation in human bronchial epithelial cell line BEP2D exposed to α-particles.Methods The levels of intracellular ROS and malonaldehyde (MDA) in BEP2D,RH22 (passage 22 of α-particle-irradiated BEP2D cells) and BERP35T-1 cells (derived from nude mice bearing malignant transformed cells generated from the passage 35 of α-particle-irradiated BEP2D cells) were assayed with DCFH-DA and MDA kit,respectively.The expressions of 8-OH-dG and γ-H2AX in BEP2D,RH23 (passage 23 of α-particle-irradiated BEP2D cells)and BERP35T-1 cells were also measured with immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence staining.Results Compared to BEP2D cells,the levels of ROS ( t =4.30 and 3.94,P < 0.05 ) and MDA ( t =4.89 and 15.10,P <0.05) increased in RH22 and BERP35T-1 cells.The expressions of 8-OH-dG (t =3.80 and 2.92,P < 0.05 ) and γ-H2AX ( t =7.61 and 12.67,P < 0.05 ) in RH23 and BERP35T-1 cells were also higher than those in BEP2D cells.Conclusions Oxidative stress induces lipid peroxidation and DNA damage leading to genomic instability,which could contribute to cellular malignant transforming process in the human bronchial epithelial cell line BEP2D with α-particle exposure.

Objective To study the damage focused ultrasound inflicts on the membrane permeability of Ehrlich ascitic tumor (EAC) cells and the relationship between changes in membrane permeability and focused ultra-sound exposure time. Methods The relative survival rate of tumor cells was examined at various intensities and dif-ferent exposure times using focused 2.2 MHz ultrasound. The uhrastructure changes were evaluated with a scanning electron microscope after different exposures. Membrane permeability was investigated by incorporating fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran (FD5OO) , and membrane damage was evaluated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. Results Morphological observation showed there were numerous microvilli on the surface of un-exposed cells. When the cells had been irradiated with focused ultrasound for 30 s there was only a slight effect on the shape of the cells and the number of microvilli was slightly reduced. When the cells were exposed to ultrasound for 60 s, the surface of many cells became relatively smooth with no obvious microvilli, and several small craters were seen on the surfaces of cells where the cytoplasm seemed to have extruded through the membrane. The cell membrane was seri-ously damaged by sonoporation. The loading of FD500 in the unexposed cells was only 0.21%. When the cells had been sonicated with focused ultrasound for 30 s or 60 s, the loading of FD500 increased to 11.46% and 18.50% re-spectively. The released LDH activities in the 30 s group and 60 s group were 2.94±0.02 and 3.28±0.04 U/L, respectively. The activities of LDH increaased as the focused ultrasound exposure time was prolonged. Conclusion Focused ultrasound may damage the cell membrane permeability of EAC cells, and the damage increases as the expo-sure time is prolonged from 30 s to 60 s.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and the risk factors of dyslipidemia in residents aged 40 to 80 years in Guiyang. Methods A total of 10 022 adults (2 694 men and 7 328 women) aged 40 and over were selected from Yunyan community in Guiyang urban area for this population based cross-sectional study. Data were obtained by questionnaire survey, physical examination, fasting blood glucose, and lipid measurements. The association between influential factors and dyslipidemia was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results The standardized prevalence of dyslipidemia in residents aged 40 years and over in Guiyang was 46. 9%, with low high-densitylipoproteincholesterol(HDL-C)29.0%,hypertriglyceridemia19.3%,hightotalcholesterol(TC)9.3%, andhighlow-densitylipoproteincholesterol(LDL-C)4.3%. Logisticregressionanalysisindicatedthatage,gender, smoking, and alcohol abuse were the risk factors of high TC and high LDL-C. Abdominal obesity was a main risk factor for both hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C. Conclusion The prevalence of dyslipidemia of middle-aged and aged residents in urban districts of Guiyang was on the national average level. Hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C were the most common types. Age and abdominal obesity were important risk factors of dyslipidemia.

This paper summarized the nursing experience of one infant with right lower limb ischemia caused by amniotic band syndrome. The nursing key points included:careful observation of the infant condition,exposing the wound,raising the affected limb,wound disinfection,and removing necrotic tissues at the surface skin,applying topical drugs for promoting tissue growth and antibiotics,selecting appropriate dressing to provide suitable environment for tissue regeneration;debridement of inguinal skin,dressing change,assessing pain and providing corresponding care during debridement;infection prevention. After 29 days of treatment and careful nursing care,the skin damage was repaired on the right lower limb,swelling subsided,the necrotic tissues at right inguinal region were completely cleared,granulation tissue was formed,and the infant was discharged smoothly.

Objective To study the apoptosis-inducing effect of recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8 with soluble TRAIL gene on human colon cancer cell line HCT116. Method Recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8 with TRAIL gene was generated by triple plasmid transfection of HEK293 cells with phosphate calcium precipitation. After infected by recombinant virus, cell growth assay was carried out by counting alive cells after trypan blue exclusion. Alternations of cell morphology was examined by microscopy. Cell apoptosis was detected by DNA laddering. The protein expressions of apoptosis-3 and apoptosis-8 were detected by Western blotting. Result The growth rate of the AAV8-sTRAIL infected HCT116 cells was significantly inhibited. Recombinant virus induced apoptosis in colon tumor cells by triggering caspase cascade, but not in normal human hepatocytes. Conclusion AAV8-sTRAIL efficiently suppresses the growth of human colon cancer cell line HCT116 by inducing apoptosis, with no evident toxicity to normal cell.
