AIM:To study whether cordycepin (Cordy) plays a role in myocardial protection by regulating the expression of microRNA-455 ( miR-455) and reducing apoptosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress in the ischemia -reperfusion (IR) rats.METHODS: SD rats (250 ~300 g) were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, the chests of the rats were only opened;IR group, the rats were given myocardial ischemia for 30 min, and then reperfusion for 120 min;IR+Cordy group:before IR, the rats were given Cordy (10 mg/kg) through femoral vein injection once a day for one week, and the last injection was given 30 min before ischemia.Automated biochemical analysis was used to detect rat serum activity of LDH and CK-MB.The myocardial endothelial cell ( EC) apoptotic rate was measured by TUNEL , and the ultrastructural changes of the myocardial EC were observed under transmission electron microscope .RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-455 and the mRNA levels of glucose-regulated protein 78 ( Grp78) and caspase-12 in the myo-cardium.RESULTS:Compared with control group, EC apoptosis in IR group was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with IR group , EC apoptosis in IR +Cordy group decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ) .Compared with control group, swelling of mitochondria , irregular membrane , loose wrinkles with vacuoles , disappeared matrix granules , irregular nuclear membrane , chromatin condensation , disappeared nucleoli and even small apoptosis body in the EC were found in IR group.Compared with IR group , the symptoms in IR +Cordy group were greatly improved .Compared with control group, the mRNA expression of Grp78 and caspase-12 as well as the miR-455 level in IR group was increased (P<0.05). Compared with IR group , the mRNA expression of Grp78 and caspase-12, as well as the miR-455 level in IR+Cordy group was decreased (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Cordycepin attenuates myocardial EC apoptosis , down-regulates the expres-sion of miR-455, and inhibits endoplasmic reticulum stress in the myocardium .

Objective To compare the PET response criteria in solid tumors (PERCIST) and response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) in the evaluation of therapeutic response in 49 non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients.Methods Forty-nine NSCLC patients who received chemotherapy but no surgery were studied.Therapeutic responses were evaluated using 18 F-FDG PET and CT according to the RECIST and PERCIST methods.The PET-CT scans were obtained before chemotherapy and about 2 or 6 weeks after completion of chemotherapy.Firstly the reduction rates of tumor diameter and reduction rates of tumor standardized uptake value were compared with paired t-test.Then the response was classed into 4 levels according to RECIST and PERCIST:PD and PMD =1,SD and SMD =2,PR and PMR =3,CR and CMR =4.Pearson and Chi-square test was used to compare the proportion of four levels in RECIST and PERCIST.Finally one target lesion and two target lesions were compared for RECIST therapeutic evaluation in 33 cases with two target lesions.Results The diameter was (3.52 ± 1.65) cm before the therapy and (2.39 ± 1.43)cm after the therapy.The standardized uptake value was 8.78 ±4.18 vs.5.06 ±3.62 before and after therapy for the first target lesions in 49 patients.The differences of reduction rates between tumor diameter and standardized uptake value were not significant because of selection bias (0.32 ± 0.27 vs.0.28 ±0.64,t =0.176,P ＞0.05).However,there was a significant difference when the reduction rate was compared only in 39 patients in which the standardized uptake values were reduced after therapy (0.39 ± 0.29 vs.0.52 ±0.28,t =-4.08,P ＜0.01).The results of classification were 1/13 for CR/CMR,25/16 for PR/PMR,22/15 for SD/SMD,1/5 for PD/PMD,and 33 cases had no consistent results from RECIST and PERCIST.There was a significant difference in response classification between RECIST and PERCIST (x2 =16.252,P ＜ 0.01).No significant difference was found between one target lesion and two target lesions for RECIST evaluation results in 33 cases (x2 =1.171,P ＞ 0.05),but results of response classification were changed in 5 cases.Conclusions PERCIST criteria may be more sensitive in NSCLC therapeutic evaluation comparing to RECIST criteria.There is a higher proportion with CMR and PMD in PERCIST,but its effect on the prognosis is not yet clear.The number of target lesions may affect the results of therapeutic evaluation with RECIST criteria.

Objective:To investigate the stress distribution surrounding an implant under different thickness of cancellous bone and cortical bone,and to analyze the influence of thickness ratio and total thickness of bone tissues on the reliability of an implant.Methods:By using the commercial finite element method software Abaqus, a simplified three-dimensional model of a jawbone consisting of a cancellous bone,a cortical bone,an implant,and a ceramic crown was constructed,and then the computation was performed.Under the condition that the system was loaded by lateral and normal stresses, the influence of thickness ratio and total thickness of cancellous bone and cortical bone in the stress distribution surrounding the implant was studied,where the thickness ratios were 3∶1, 2∶1, 1∶1, 1∶2, and 1∶3;the total thickness were 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 mm, respectively. Results:The maximum stresses on the cortical bone,the cancellous bone as well as the implant were all found to decrease with the increasing of the total thickness of cortical and cancellous bones,with a higher decreasing rate in the range between 0.5-2.0 mm and a lower decreasing rate between 2.0-4.0 mm. More importantly, the maximum value of stress in the cortical bone within the neck region of the implant was observed to increase dramatically via reducing the total thickness below 2 mm, while it was increased insignificantly when the total thickness was above 2.0 mm. Conclusion:The thickness ratio and the total thickness of cancellous bone and cortical bone have strong influence in the stress distribution surrounding the implant.In dental implantation surgery, the total thickness of cancellous bone and cortical bone should be at least 2 mm, and therefore 2 mm is an optimal value.
