This study aimed at investigating the effects and mechanisms of 7-O-succinyl macrolactin A in inhibi-ting human lung cancer. After treatment of human lung cancer cell lines H460 with 7-O-succinyl macrolactin A, MTS assay was employed to determine cell proliferation;crystal violet staining was used to detect cell adhesion of H460;transwell chamber assay and wound healing assay were performed to evaluate cell invasion and migration;and flow cytometry assay was adopted to evaluate cell cycle. Western blotting and real-time PCR were also employed to determine the expression of β-catenin, c-Myc, Cyclin D1, vimentin, N-cadherin, CD44, integrin β1, Bcl-2 , Survivin and MMP-2/9. The phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR was determined as well. In vitro prolifera-tion of H460 was inhibited significantly by 7-O-succinyl macrolactin A. Cell adhesion, invasion and migration abilities were also attenuated. Western blot and real-time PCR showed that the expressions of β-catenin, c-Myc, cyclin D1, vimentin, N-cadherin, CD44, integrin β1, Bcl-2, Survivin and MMP-2/9 were down-regulated by 7-O-succinyl macrolactin A. It was also found that phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR was inhibited by 7-O-succinyl macrolactin A. 7-O-succinyl macrolactin A can inhibit the in vitro growth and invasion of human lung cancer cell lines H460.

Objective To determine the relation between enlarged perihepatic lymph node (PLN) and viraemia,and to find out whether there is a difference in PLN size between the healthy individuals and patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Methods Seventy-four patients with HCV infection and 283 healthy individuals were examined by two-dimensional ultrasound. The length and thickness of lymph node were measured. The lymph-node area index(LN area index) was calculated. The LN area index was evaluated by the ROC curve and compared with serum HCV core antigen (HCV-Ag) levels by correlation analysis. Results Detection rate, the length and thickness, LN area index of group with HCV infection were significantly different by compared with the normal control group ( P < 0. 001 ). The ROC curve showed that the LN area index as a diagnostic indicator had high sensitivity and specificity. The LN area index showed a significant correlation with HCV-Ag level (r = 0.436, P <0.05), but no significant differences were found between LN area index and HCV-Ag grade. Conclusions Perihepatic lymphadenopathy indicates viraemia,and LN area index of 100 mm2 is a reference index in estimating whether patients have HCV infection.

Compared the differences between the groups with neurological system disorders and the groups without. Results There were 22 patients of 26 survived after the surgery. Cardiac function of the survivors improved, and the quality of life improved significantly. 5 cases of the 22 survivors had symptoms of neurological system disorders. 3 patients showed lethargy, delirium, memory disorders, brain CT found no abnormal, symptoms recovered within 2 weeks. The fourth patient showed ataxia, unsteady gait, dance-like movements symmetry, in addition to the above symptoms, brain CT no abnormal showed,brain MRI showed bilateral abnormal signal in the midbrain, basal ganglia, symptoms improved and discharged after 8 weeks, the symptoms completely disappeared 6 months, and the abnormal signals in brain in MRI disappeared. The fifth patient with similar symptoms to the fourth, brain CT no abnormal found, be discharged 10 weeks after the operation, recovery is poor, living part of themselves. The postoperative neurological disorders occurred in the patients of Jamieson surgery type Ⅲ type, Ⅳ type of larger proportion, (P = 0.024), longer circulatory arrest surgery (P = 0.034). Conclusion The neurological disorders postoperative PTE often showed diffuse symmetric cerebral cortex and basal ganglia nerve dysfunction, brain MRI showed abnormal signal corresponding region, the majority of symptoms disappeared in 2 - 8 weeks, abnormal signal in brain MRI could disappeared after 6 months. Neurological dysfunction occurs in patients with more difficult surgical procedure, longer circulatory arrest, suggesting that with the surgery cerebral ischemia and hypoxia related.

Objective To evaluate the value of predicting functional improvement of viable myocardium after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty(PTCA) by strain rate imaging(SRI) combining with low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography(LDDSE).Methods PTCA was performed in 20 patients with old myocardial infarction and 72 segments of resting dyskinetic wall motion at baseline were observed.Peak systolic strain rate(SSR) and systolic peak velocity(Vs) were measured in abnormal walls at baseline and SRI combined with LDDSE one day before PTCA.Increment of SSR and Vs was defined during stress echocardiography(?SSR% and ?V_S%).The follow-up analysis was performed 6 weeks after PTCA.Results The dyskinetic motion of 48/72 segments was improved according to the follow-up echocardiography 6 weeks after PTCA while that of 24/72 segments was not.Considering ?SSR%≥(2.02%),?V_S%≥(8.5%) in 5 ?g?kg~(-1)?min~(-1) stress and ?SSR%≥(24.7%),?V_S%≥(28.5%) in 10 ?g?kg~(-1)?min~(-1)stress as cut-offs for motion improvement of the left ventricular dyskinetic segments,the sensitivities were(93.8%),(89.6%) and(95.8%),(91.7%),respectively.At baseline SSRs of two groups were significantly different while Vs did not have significant difference.Conclusions Combined with LDDSE,SRI can more accuratly predict the motion improvement of viable myocardium than tissue velocity imaging can.

Objective To explore the relationship among left ventricular(LV) peak systolic strain rate,the mitral annular motive amplitude(MAMA) and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) in essential hypertension patients with different left ventricular patterns.Methods According to level of LV mass index and relative wall thickness,40 patients with hypertension were divided into patterns of normal geometric LV(LVN) and remodeling LV(LVR),20 normal patients were on control group. The apical views were used to determine MAMA and peak systolic strain rate(SSR).MAMA was determined by anatomic M-mode(AMM) and strain rate imaging was applied for obtaining SSR of LV basal and middle segments.LVEF was determined by Simpson rule.The LV systolic function was evaluated by mean of MAMA,SSR and LVEF. Results In all subjects,mean SSR by strain rate imaging of LV wall correlated negatively with mean MAMA(r=(-0.91),P(0.05)).Conclusions Strain rate imaging provides a sensitive,simple and trust tool to assess globle LV function in patients with essential hypertension.

Objective To investigate serum uric acid (UA) levels and related clinical features in patients with high risk syndrome of neuromyelitis optica. Methods UA levels were measured in 51 patients with high risk syndrome of neuromyelitis optica including 34 with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) and 17 with optic neuritis (ON), 48 with neuromyelitis optica (NMO), 45 with other neurological diseases (OND) and 65 with healthy controls (HC). The disability severity was assessed by the expanded disability status scale (EDSS). Spinal lesions were viewed by MRI. Serum aquaporin-4(AQP4) antibody was tested in cell based immunofluorescence assay. Results Serum UA levels in LETM ( ( 189. 84 ±85. 65) μmol/L) and ON patients ( (222. 12 ±61.68) μmol/L) were significantly lower than that in OND ((315.90±71.36) μ mol/L) and HC ((291.05 ±76.64) μ mol/L) subjects (P＜0.01). No difference was found between LETM, ON and NMO groups. UA levels were significantly lower in females ( ( 158.24 ±55.92), (187.00±47.52), (198.21 ±62.62), (274.51 ±70.66)and (243.26±60.65) μmol/L)than in males ( ( 262. 09 ± 101.63 ), ( 262. 45 ± 62. 13 ), ( 298.90 ± 74. 14 ), ( 355.37 ± 50. 30 ) and (340. 34 ±58. 23) μmol/L) in all groups (t=3. 183, 2.578, 4.356, 4.365 and 6.579, all P＜0.05).UA levels in patients with high risk syndrome of NMO were not correlated with mono or relapse course,duration or status of serum AQP4 antibody. UA were negatively correlated with EDSS in patients with LETM (r= -0.714, P＜0.01). Conclusion Lower serum UA levels were found in patients with high risk syndrome of NMO and related to more severe symptoms in LETM group.
