A 74-year-old man presented with yellowish red nodules and plaques on the trunk for more than one year.Physical examination showed more than 20 scattered,irregularly shaped,well-demarcated,yellowish red nodules and plaques measuring 0.5-15 cm in diameter on the trunk.The plaques on the right lower abdomen showed central ulceration and atrophy with scar formation.Plasma protein electrophoresis revealed that the levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and kappa light chain were 18.3 g/L and 20.70 g/L respectively.Histopathologically,large necrobiotic areas and granuloma were observed alternately in the dermis and subcutis.There were numerous Touton giant cells,foreign body giant cells and foamy histiocytes in the granuloma,and many cholesterol clefts were found in the center of necrobiotic areas with the formation of lymphoid follicles in some regions.Both eyes of the patient were involved to different degrees.He was diagnosed as necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with IgG kappa paraproteinemia and eve involvement.

AIM:To examine the effects of hypoxia on sodium-hydrogen exchange 1 (NHE1) expression, in-tracellular Ca2+concentration ( [ Ca2+] i ) and calpain activity, and to explore the effect of amiloride on adenosine triphos-phate-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) degradation and its calpain-related mechanism.METHODS:RAW264.7 cells were exposed to hypoxia for 0 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h.The cell viability was measured by MTT assay and the expres-sion of NHE1 at mRNA and protein levels was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.[ Ca2+] i was analyzed by flow cytometry.Calpain activity was assessed by the method of Suc-LLVY-aminoluciferin.Furthermore, the protein levels of ABCA1 in the RAW264.7 cells exposed to hypoxia for 24 h were determined after 6 h or 12 h treatment with NHE1 inhibi-tor amiloride in the presence of cycloheximide.ABCA1 protein levels and calpain activity were detected after 12 h incuba-tion with calpain inhibitor ALLN or intracellular calcium-chelating agent BAPTA.RESULTS: Hypoxia inhibited the cell viability in a time-dependent manner.Hypoxia up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of NHE1, and increased [ Ca2+] i and calpain activity.Hypoxia increased the degradation of ABCA1 and amiloride slowed down the ABCA1 degra-dation.ALLN or BAPTA increased ABCA1 protein level and decreased calpain activity.CONCLUSION:NHE1 inhibitor amiloride attenuates the calpain-mediated degradation of ABCA1, indicating that hypoxia-induced NHE1 might, at least in part, participate in the ABCA1 degradation.

Objective To compare the efficacy of the laryngeal mask airway Classic (CLMA), Streamlined Liner of Pharyngeal Airway (SLIPA) and laryngeal mask airway ProSeal (PLMA) in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Methods One hundred and twenty-three ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-64 yr undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery were randomly divided into 3 groups: CLMA group (group C, n =41 ), SLIPA group (group S, n =42) and PLMA group (group P, n =40). Laryngeal mask was inserted after induction of anesthesia with sufentanil 0.3 μg/kg, atracurium 0.5 mg/kg and propofol 2 mg/kg. Mll the patients were ventilated with intermittent positive-pressure ventilation. Anesthesia was maintained with contiunous infusion of propofol 6-8 mg· kg-1· h-1 and with supplementary administration of sufentsnil 0.1-0.2 μg/kg and atracurium 0.2 mg/kg as required. The degree of difficulty in inserting the laryngeal mask was evaluated. The rate of successful placement at first attempt, device placement time, recovery time and complications were recorded . Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and the number of patients with an airway sealing pressure less than PIP were recorded before pneumoperitoneum and when intra-abdominal pressure achieved 12 mm Hg. Results The placement was easier and the placement time and recovery time were significantly shorter in group S, and the placement time was significantly longer,the airway sealing pressure was significantly higher and the number of patients with an airway sealing pressure less than PIP was lower in group P than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05). The placement time and recovery time were significantly longer, the placement was harder, the airway sealing pressure was significantly higher, and the number of patients with an airway sealing pressure less than PIP was lower in group P than in group S ( P ＜ 0.05). PIP was significantiy higher when intra-abdominal pressure achieved 12 mm Hg than that before pneumoperitoneum in all the three groups ( P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and rate of successful placement at first attempt among the three groups ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion All the three airway devices can provide adequate ventilation during operation, with fewer complications. SLIPA placement is easiest. PLMA can assure good airway sealing and is most suitable for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Objective To explore the effects of Na+ H-exchanger 1(NHE1) knockdown on ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) protein expression levels and cholesterol efflux in the hypoxic RAW264.7 cells.Methods The RAW264.7 cells were infected with lentiviral vectors expressing shRNA specific for NHE1(siNHE1) or scramble RNA (siNC).The expression of NHE1 at mRNA or protein level was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting respectively in the infected cells after 24 h in a hypoxia condition.In the meantime,the methods of SNARF-1,Fluo-4 NW andSuc-LLVY-aminoluciferin were employed to determine NHE1 activity,intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and calpain activity,respectively.Furthermore,ABCA1 protein levels were detected by Western blotting in the 24 h hypoxic cells.In parallel,the intracellular cholesterol content and cholesterol efflux were analyzed by the methods of combined enzymatic HLPC and 3 H-cholesterol.Results The hypoxia condition versus the normoxia condition up-regulated NHE1 mRNA and protein expression level and activity by 2.48 folds,1.28 folds and 61.96％ (all P＜0.05),and increased[Ca2+]i and calpain activity by 4.51 folds and 2.41 folds(all P＜0.05).Whereas the NHE1 mRNA and protein expression and activity at the presence of hypoxia were inhibited by siNHE1 with the inhibition ratio of 84.95％,60.75％ and 66.44％,respectively (all P＜0.05)and[Ca2+]i and calpain activity were reduced by 59.23％ and 54.66％ (P＜0.05).Furthermore,the ABCA1 protein level was 61.67％ lower in the hypoxic cells than in the normoxic cells (P＜0.05),and siNHE1 was increased by 56.52％ after treatment of Hypoxia.Hypoxia elevated intracellular total cholesterol and cholesterol ester by 74.57 ％ and 101.81％ (all P＜0.05).Treatment with siNHE1 in the hypoxia condition can reduce total cholesterol and cholesterol ester by 34.24 ％ 及 49.66 ％ (all P＜0.05).Hypoxia reduced the cholesterol efflux by 34.79％(P＜0.05),which were partially reversed by siNHE1.Conclusions NHE1 might play an important role in hypoxia-induced ABCA1 protein attenuation and reverse cholesterol transport dysfunction through[Ca2+]i/calpain pathway.
