BACKGROUND:In recent years, research on tendinopathy is becoming a hot topic in the sports medicine and rehabilitation, and the extracelular matrix plays a considerable role in the occurrence, development and healing of tendinopathy.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between tendinopathy and the extracelular matrix.
METHODS: CNKI, VIP, CBM, Wanfang, PubMed and Embase were retrieved for articles related to colagen, protein, glycoprotein and matrix remodeling published since 2000.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After tendinopathy, there are obvious changes in colagen, proteoglycans, glycoprotein and related enzymes; and these changes also affect the reconstruction and repair of tendinopathy. Currently, most of researches focus on the tendon rather than the bone-tendon junction. This means that there are no in-depth studies on the correlation between many important proteins and tendinopathy, and the effects of exercise intervention.

T was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP)in all the patients.Results The occurrence of CR in this population was 23.3%(70/300).There was CYP3A4 894C/T polymorphism in the study population.The frequencies of the three kinds of genotypes(CC,CT,TT)in CR group and non-CR(NCR)group were 45.7%,50.0%,4.3% and 63.5%,31.7%,4.8%,respectively.The frequency of TT genotype was significantly higher in NCR group than that in CR group(OR=2.06,95% CI:1.201-3.547,P=0.020).C allele carriers were more likely to develop clopidogrel resistance compared with that of T allele carriers(OR=1.59,95% CI:1.037-2.442,P=0.023).Conclusion CYP3A4 gene 894C/T polymorphism is associated with the risk of CR,and C allele carriers may be a possible genetic susceptibility factor for patients with CR.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of echocardiography combined with genetic testing in the fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma. Methods Thirty-three fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma cases diagnosed by fetal echocardiogram in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from Jan. 2011 to Oct. 2015 were enrolled in a retrospective analysis. The results of other examination and pregnancy outcomes of them were followed up, the genetic characteristics of cardiac rhabdomyoma were summarized on the basis of pathology and genetics examination results. Results The pregnancy outcomes:24 cases were terminated pregnancy, 4 cases were born and 5 cases were lost. The results of ultrasound, pathology and genetic examination were detailed in 8 cases. Pathological examination: the typical characteristics of cardiac rhabdomyoma were found in the 8 cases with cardiac rhabdomyoma. The tumor tissue was composed of irregular and swelling shape of cardiomyocytes, and the cytoplasm was vacuole like, which was characteristic of“spider like cells”through microscopic observation. The geneticdetection results: 7 cases had tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) gene mutation, TSC gene abnormalities were not detected in 1 case. Among the 7 cases with TSC gene mutations, 6 cases were with TSC2 gene mutation and the other 1 case was with TSC1 gene mutation. The family gene was investigated in the 5 cases, which including 3 cases of TSC gene mutation in mother passed on to the fetus (1 case with family of three generations of genetic) and 2 cases of spontaneous TSC gene mutation in the fetus. Conclusions Prenatal echocardiography combined with genetic detection have important clinical significance, which not only can clear if cardiac rhabdomyomas were associated with TSC, but also can clear the TSC gene mutation source. So as to further guide the perinatal management.

Objective By detecting the variation of long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) DNA methylation in preeclampsia-like mouse models generated by different ways, to explore the roles of multifactor and multiple pathways in preeclampsia pathogenesis on molecular basis. Methods Established preeclampsia-like mouse models in different ways and divided into groups as follows: (1) Nw-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME) group: wild-type pregnant mouse received subcutaneous injection of L-NAME;(2) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group:wild-type pregnant mouse received intraperitoneal injection of LPS; (3) apolipoprotein C-Ⅲ (ApoC3) group: ApoC3 transgenic pregnant mouse with dysregulated lipid metabolism received subcutaneous injection of L-NAME;(4)β2 glycoprotein I (β-2GPI) group:wild-type pregnant mouse received subcutaneous injection ofβ-2GPI. According to the first injection time (on day 3, 11, 16 respectively), the L-NAME, LPS and ApoC3 groups were further subdivided into:pre-implantation (PI) experimental stage, early gestation (EG) experimental stage, and late gestation (LG) experimental stage.β-2GPI group was only injected before implantation. LCHAD gene methylation levels in placental were detected in different experimental stage. Normal saline control groups were set within wild-type and ApoC3 transgenic pregnant mice simultaneously. Results (1) CG sites in LCHAD DNA:45 CG sites were detected in the range of 728 bp before LCHAD gene transcription start site, the 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 43 CG sites were complex sites which contained two or more CG sequences, others were single site which contained one CG sequence. The 3, 5, 6, 11, 13, 14, 18, 28 sites in L-NAME, LPS, ApoC3 and β-2GPI groups showed different high levels of methylation; the 16, 25, 31, 42, 44 sites showed different low levels of methylation; other 32 sites were unmethylated. (2) Comparison of LCHAD gene methylation between different groups:the methylation levels of LCAHD gene at 3, 11, 13, 14, 18 sites in L-NAME, LPS, ApoC3 andβ-2GPI groups were significantly higher than those in the normal saline control group (P<0.05); and the methylation levels of 42, 44 sites in these groups were significantly lower than those in the normal saline control group (P<0.05). (3) Methylation of LCHAD gene at the same site between different experimental stages: ① The 3, 11, 18 sites of EG experimental stage was significantly lower than PI and LG experimental stage in L-NAME group (P<0.05);the 3, 11, 18 sites of PI experimental stage was significantly lower than EG and LG experimental stage in LPS group (P<0.05);these sites of PI experimental stage was significantly higher than EG and LG experimental stages in ApoC3 group (P<0.05).②The methylation of site 5 in L-NAME and LPS groups were significantly higher than that of the normal saline control group (P<0.05), and the LG experimental stages were significantly higher than other stages, but in ApoC3 group , only PI and EG stages were significantly higher than the normal saline control group (P<0.05).③At site 6 in L-NAME group which showed high methylation level was significantly higher than the same site in other groups which showed low methylation level (P<0.05).④At 13, 14 sites, earlier preeclampsia onset caused a lower methylation level in L-NAME group, but PI experimental stage was significantly higher than EG and LG experimental stages in LPS group (P<0.05), EG experimental stage was significantly higher than PI and LG experimental stages in ApoC3 group (P<0.05). ⑤ At site 28, earlier preeclampsia onset caused a higher methylation level in L-NAME group, but PI experimental stage was significantly lower than EG and LG experimental stages in LPS group (P<0.05), EG experimental stage was significantly higher than PI and LG experimental stages in ApoC3 group (P<0.05).⑥The 16, 25, 31 sites in ApoC3 group were significantly higher than other groups (P<0.05). ⑦ At site 42 in β-2GPI group was unmethylated, but it in other groups showed low methylation level, the methylation level of site 42 inβ-2GPI group was significantly lower than that in other groups (P<0.05). Conclusions The methylation of 6 and 42 CG sites may be related to LCHAD gene expression in placenta of L-NAME and β-2GPI induced preeclampsia-like models respectively;LCHAD gene expression and DNA methylation may not have obviouscorrelation in LPS and ApoC3 induced preeclampsia-like models. Differences exist in LCHAD DNA methylation in preeclampsia-like models generated by different ways, revealed a molecular basis to expand our understanding of the multi-factorial pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Background and purpose:Studies have shown that DOC-2 could work as a potential tumor suppressor geue,and the role of DOC-2 in terms of the inhibition of cell growth and its mechanism remain unknown.Our paper is to investigate the effect and mechanism of DOC-2 expression on the tumorigenesis viability of ovarian cancer cell line HO-8910 from the aspects of clone efficiency,cell cycle and animal model test.Methods:Three cell lines were used including HO-8910,8910-P93(transfected with DOC-2 gene) and 8910-pcDNA3.1(transfected with the vector pcDNA3.1).Firstly,soft agar method was used to measure the clone efficiency.The cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometer.The tumorigenesis viability was compared by athymic mouse test.Results:After being transfected with DOC-2 gene,the clone efficiency of 8910-P93 was markedly reduced.There was no difference between the 8910-pcDNA3.1 and HO-8910.G1 and G2 arrest were observed for 8910-P93.The athymic mouse test showed that the neoplasm derived from 8910-P93 was much smaller than that in the controls.Conclusions:DOC-2 could iniibit the tumorigenesis viability of human ovarian cancer line HO-8910.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional biomolecule involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including regulation of blood vessel dilatation and function as a neurotransmitter. However, a large amount of NO is toxic to the host and causes several diseases such as cardiovascular system diseases, septic shock, and diabetes mellitus. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway was first identified as a cellular response pathway induced by the accumulation of unfolded proteins in ER to preserve ER functions. Later it was found that ER stress pathway is also activated by various cellular stresses to protect cells, but when stresses are severe, apoptosis is induced to remove damaged cells. It is reported that NO disturbs ER functions, then ER stress-mediated apoptosis pathway is activated. CHOP/GADD153, which belongs to C/EBP transcription factor family, is induced in this process and mediates apoptosis. ER stress pathway induced by NO is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases.

AIM:To compare the effect of 1,2-propanediol (PROH) and ethylene glycol (EG) on apoptosis and expressions of P53,Bcl-2 of follicles in human ovarian tissue,in order to offer experimental foundation for selecting the best cryoprotectant. METHODS:Biopsies of ovarian tissue obtained from 12 women were cryopreserved,and ovarian tissue slice from each woman was divided into three groups:fresh control group,ethylene glycol group and 1,2-propanediol group. The slow-freezing /rapid-thawing protocol was used to freeze and thaw the slice of ovarian cortex. Apoptosis of follicles in fresh and frozen-thawed ovarian cortical tissue was detected by TUNEL experiment,and expressions of P53 and Bcl-2 were detected by immuno-histochemistry. RESULTS:The percentages of apoptosis follicles were 14.58%,23.08%,30.43% in fresh control group,PROH group and EG group,respectively,and the percentage of apoptosis follicles in EG group was higher than that in fresh control group (P0.05). The percentages of P53 positive follicles were 13.48%,25.00% and 33.93%,respectively. There was significant difference between fresh control and EG group (P0.05). CONCLUSION:The results of this study indicate that 1.5 mol/L PROH is more suitable for cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue rather than 1.5 mol/L EG in slow-freezing /rapid-thawing protocol. The protocol of slow-freezing/ rapid-thawing may preserve oocytes well,but it is not ideal for cryopreservation of granulosa cells. Cryopreservation may influence on apoptosis of follicles in human ovarian tissue.
