Objective Abstract:Objective To inquire into the reason that chronic diabetic foot ulcer(CDF) was difficult to be cured by clarifying their interaction between interin-1?(IL-1?) and fibroblast proliferation,the activity and protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2),matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)in fibroblasts from CDF.Method Fibroblast collected from the edge area of the diabetic foot ulcer was cultured for 4-6 generations,and added in with different concentration of IL-1? at the 24 hr,48 hr and 72 hr,then the effect of IL-1? on the activity and expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in fibroblasts were observed by methods of zymography and Western blott.Results There was a significant difference of IL-1? between CDF and acute diabetic lesions(ADL);IL-1? in 0.5 ng/ml-5 ng/ml could promote fibroblast proliferation obviously,but weakened gradually with increasing of the IL-1?,but no affection on fibroblast proliferation when IL-1? was in 50 ng/ml,and inhabited fibroblast proliferation over 50 ng/ml of IL-1?;IL-1? in 50 ng/ml increased the activity and protein expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in fibroblasts from CDF. Conclusion The reason that CDF was difficult to be cured were related to significant increase of IL-1?.The increase of IL-1? not only inhibits the fibroblast proliferation,but also promotes the activity and protein expression of MMP-2 & MMP-9,and it results in the increase of extracellular matrix degradation.

Objective: To further understand the role of folic acid supplements rivaling MTHFR gene silencing in pathogenesis of NCLP, RNA interference (RNAi) was applied to knock down MTHFR in mouse embryonic palatal mesenchymal (EPM) cells. Methods: MTHFR ShRNA expression vector were transfected into the primary cultured EPM cells. MTT was used to observe cell proliferation after MTHFR gene silencing. FCM was used to observe cell cycle after MTHFR gene silencing. Results: The results showed the cells proliferation had an inequality amelioration after using folic acid supplements in MEPM cells with MTHFR gene silencing. Using folic acid supplements rivaled the effect of MTHFR gene silencing had a dose-dependent manner. Using 20 μg/ml folic acid supplements could improve the cell proliferation to achieve normal level of cell proliferation. Conclusion: MTHFR gene is an important candidate gene of NCL/P. Using folic acid supplements could prevent teratogenic MTHFR gene silencing for embryonic palate development.

Objective To investigate the effect of vascular tortuosity and bending radius on the new type knitting stents (LVIS stent ) releasing on the cavernous sinus segment of internal carotid artery. Methods From December 2015 to January 2016,31 consecutive patients with wide-neckedaneurysm treated with LVIS stents and the proximal end of the stent released in the cavernous segment at the Department of Neurosurgery,Changhai Hospital,the Second Military Medical University were enrolled. According to whether the stents completely adhered to the walls or not after the first release,they were divided into two groups:a satisfactorily release group (n =23 )or an unsatisfactorily release group (n =8 ). The differences of vascular tortuosity and bending radius of the 2 groups were compared.Results Thevascular tortuosities of the satisfactorily release group and the unsatisfactorily release group were 118° ± 23° and 147° ± 19° respectively. There was significant difference (P=0. 028). The vascular bending radii were 3. 4 ± 0. 7 mm and 2. 8 ± 0. 7 mm respectively. There was significant difference (P=0. 042). The mean vascular tortuosity was larger and the mean vascular bending radius was smaller in the unsatisfactorily release group. Conclusions The greater the vascular tortuosity,the smaller the vascular bending radius may be connected with the unsatisfactorily release in the LVIS stent. The evaluation of vascular tortuosity is conductive to the guidance of the stent release technique before stent implantation.

OBJECTIVE:
To test cathepsin L as a biomarker of myocardial ischemia by examination of cathepsin L expression in plasma after myocardial ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion in rats.
METHODS:
The rat models were established and divided in acute myocardial ischemia model (myocardial ischemia 30 min, 1 h, 2 h groups), ischemia-reperfusion model (ischemia-reperfusion group), and isoflurane-pretreated ischemia-reperfusion model (isoflurane-pretreated group), respectively. Normal control group and sham-operated group were established as contrast. The contents of cathepsin L in plasma were examined by ELISA and myocardial infarction areas were measured after TTC staining.
RESULTS:
No statistical significant changes were found among the experimental groups compared with the normal control group and sham-operated group (P>0.05). The cathepsin L from the ischemia-reperfusion group increased to 2.37 times compared with the normal control group (P<0.05). The cathepsin L and myocardium infarction size of isoflurane-pretreated group decreased compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The cathepsin L in plasma is not a promising biomarker of acute myocardial ischemia. Isoflurane preconditioning can reduce the cathepsin L in plasma caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury.

AIM:To investigate the effects of 17-AAG on apoptosis and cell cycle of HCT-15 cells and to clar-ify the related mechanisms .METHODS: MTT method was employed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of 17-AAG with Aifferent time and different doses on the proliferation of HCT-15 cells.The cells were stained with Annexin V-FITC/propid-iumiodide and measured by flow cytometry .The expression of STAT3, cyclin D1, Cyt C, caspase 9 and caspase 3 at mR-NA and protein levels was determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting .RESULTS:Treatment with 17-AAG at concentra-tion of 1.25~20 mg/L for 24 h and 48 h significantly inhibited the activity of HCT-15 cells at both time-and concentra-tion-dependent manners .Treatment with 17-AAG at concentrations of 0.425, 0.85 and 1.7 mg/L for 48 h significantly in-duced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of HCT-15 cells.The exposure of 17-AAG at concentrations of 0.425, 0.85 and 1.7 mg/L for 48 h to the HCT-15 cells significantly down-regulated the expression of STAT 3 and cyclin D1 at mRNA and pro-tein levels, but up-regulated Cyt C, caspase 9 and caspase 3 mRNA and protein in a concentration-dependent manner . CONCLUSION:17-AAG inhibits the cell activity , induces apoptosis and G 1 arrest by down-regulating the expression of cyclin D1, and promoting the mitochondria apoptosis through STAT 3 pathway.

Background:Conventional treatment has limited efficacy in relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma.Since chimeric antigen receptor Tcell (CAR-T) technology has shown high safety and results in high remission rates,we investigated its efficacy and safety in B-cell lymphoma treatment and analyzed potential affecting factors to provide evidence for therapeutic strategies and applications.Methods:We searched databases including PubMed,Embase,and Cochrane up to July 2019.Meta-analysis 1 was conducted to study the efficacy of CAR-T cell for treating B-cell lymphoma,measuring the response rate and complete remission rate as outcomes.Sub-group analysis was performed for age,pathological type,target antigen,co-stimulatory molecule,and conditioning chemotherapy.Meta-analysis 2 was undertaken on the safety of the treatment with the incidence rate of toxicity (cytokine-releasing syndrome [CRS],neurotoxicity) as an outcome.Results:Seventeen studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis.It was found that CAR-T cells had good therapeutic effects in the following cases:B-cell lymphoma (patients ≥65 years old);diffuse large B-cell lymphoma pathological type;patients with treatment target antigen other than CD 19;patients treated with co-stimulatory molecules other than CD28,including 4-1BB+CD28 or 4-1BB;and patients treated with cyclophosphamide/fludarabine pre-treatment protocol conditioning chemotherapy.Although the CRS and neurotoxicity incidences were high,most were reversible with minimal risk of death.Conclusion:CAR-T cell treatment is safe for clinical annlication:however,toxicity effects should be monitored.
