Objective To observe the effect of silencing the expression of ADM using RNA interfering technique on the expression ofβ-catenin and terminal differentiation of osteosarcoma cells.Methods After the intervention of 0 h,48 h and 72 h by ADM siRNA,we observed the change of distribution ofβ-catenin in F5M2 using immunocytochemistry staining.The expression levels of total and phosphorylatedβ-catenin and GSK3βwere detected by Western blot after the intervention by ADM siRNA.The F5 M2 cells treated with ADM siRNA were subjected to HE staining,alkaline phosphatase (ALP)assay and immunocytochemistry staining to investigate the biological effects of ADM siRNA on the morphology and terminal differentiation of F5M2 cells.Results After the intervention of 0 h,48 h and 72 h by ADM siRNA,the distribution ofβ-catenin was transferred from the cytoplasm to the nucleus.ADM siRNA downregulated the expression level of P-β-catenin and upregulated P-GSK3βdetected by Western blot.HE staining revealed that the configuration of F5M2 had undergone restorational changes similar to those of normal cells after ADM siRNA treatment.ALP assay and immunocytochemistry staining showed that the expression of the earlier and later molecular biomarkers of terminal differentiation,including ALP and osteocalcin were strongly positive.Conclusion Silencing the expression of ADM can activateβ-catenin to transfer to the nucleus from the cytoplasm,and induce osteosarcoma cells to make terminal differentiation through activatingβ-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the impact of lung-protective mechanical ventilation (low tidal volume and optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and cerebral oxygen metabolism.Methods Forty patients with severe cerebral injury along with respiratory failure were randomly assigned into two groups:lung-protective ventilation group A and conventional ventilation group B.Group A was planned to prescribe tidal volume 6 ～ 8 mL/kg,initial FiO240％,PEEP gradually increasing from 2 cmH2O to matched with FiO2 elevation,but the FiO2 was kept at permissive lower level.Group B was formulated with tidal volume 8 ～ 12 mL/kg,PEEP stepwise increasing from 0 2 cmH2O to match with FiO2 elevation,but PEEP was kept at permissive lower pressure.The intracranial pressure (ICP),mean arterial pressure (MAP),CPP,arterial and jugular venous blood gas were monitored.Results PEEP (8.2±3.32 cmH2O),ICP (19.7 ±3.6 mmHg),PaCO2 (54±7.3 mmHg),jugular venous carbon dioxide partial pressure (PjV CO2,56.7 ± 9.6 mmHg) in group A were higher than those (5.7±2.3 cmH2O,16.9±3.8 mmHg,41 ±5.2 mmHg,49.8 ±6.9 mmHg) in group B (P＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).VT,FiO2 in the group A were lower than those in the group B.There were no differences in PaO2/FiO2,jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjVO2),MAP,and CPP between two groups.PaCO2 were significantly correlated with CPP (r =0.368,P =0.019) while there was no correlation with ICP,PaO2,SjVO2,PjVCO2 (all P ＞0.05).CPP (69.7 ± 12.3 mmHg) was higher in case of PaCO2 (46 ～60mmHg) than those (61.5 ±9.1 mmHg) in case of PaCO2 (35 ～45 mmHg).There was correlation between PEEP and ICP (r =0.436,P =0.005).When PEEP was divided into three groups:≤52 cmH2O,6 ～ 102 cmH2O and ＞ 102 cmH2O,ICPs were different one another among three groups.When PEEP ＞ 102 cmH2O,it had a distinguished negative correlation with CPP (r =-0.395,P =0.017),while PEEP ≤ 102 cmH2O,CPP presented decreasing tendency.SjVO2 correlated with PaO2 (r =0.403,P =0.014) and PjVCO2 (r =-0.502,P =0.001) respectively.There were no significant relationships between SjVO2 and CPP,ICP,MAP,PEEP,respectively.Conclusions Lung-protective mechanical ventilation was relatively safer in patients with severe cerebral injury compared with conventional mechanical ventilation.Mild PaCO2 elevation (46 ～ 60 mmHg) combined with higher PEEP (＜ 102 cmH2O) did not decrease CPP.There was no difference in SjVO2 between the two modes of mechanical ventilation,suggesting no changes in cerebral metabolism occurred.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) of childhood is the most common hemorrhagic disease which is characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia.Depending on individual patient characteristics,appropriate initial management for newly diagnosed ITP may be either watchful waiting or pharmacologic intervention.The main options for initial pharmacologic intervention include a single dose of intravenous immune globulin(IVIG) and/or a short course of glucocorticoids.For ITP children with severe or life-threatening bleeding,it is recommended that both platelet transfusions and the combination of pharmacotherapy.Approximately 20 percent of children who present with ITP will progress to chronic ITP(CITP).Children who develop CITP should have an additional evaluation to exclude other disorders.The pharmacologic options for CITP include Rituximab,and thrombopoietin (TPO)/TPO receptor agonist (Romiplostim or Eltrombopag).Combination therapy and novel immunological targeting drugs become more effective treatment options.Splenectomy is only suit for a small number of children with chronic refractory ITP patients who present significant and persistent hemorrhagic symptoms requiring repeated pharmacologic interventions.
