Objective To investigate the mechanism of protective effects of 17-β estradiol on the experimental model of spinal cord injury (SCI) rats.Methods First,the primary astrocytes were cultured and identified.When the third generation astrocytes were cultured,they were induced by H202 whose concentrations were established by the method of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT).The cells were randomly divided into five groups:control group; the group of treatment with 400 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 hours; the group of treatment with 20 nmol/L estrogen for 2 hours prior to exposure to 400 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 hours; the group of treatment with 20 nmol/L estrogen for 26 hours and the group of treatment with dimethyl sulfoxide for 26 hours.The proteins which were extracted from these cells after treatments with H2O2 for 24 hours were detected by Western blotting.Results The absorbances of the astrocytes of treatments with H2O2 were reduced( q' =-11.45,P =0.001 ).But exposure to estrogen prior to exposure to H2O2 provided partial restoration of the absorbances (q' =7.025,P =0.0025 ).The absorbances of the astrocytes among different groups showed significant differences( F =69.69,P =0.0025 ).The results suggested that estrogen might increase the cell viability in astrocytes.Compared with the group of treatment cells with H2O2,treatment cells with 17-β estradiol prior to H2O2 exposure down-regulated the expressions of both phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 ( PTEN ) ( F =290.003,P =0.001 ) and caspase-3 ( F =46.158,P =0.023 ).And,17-β estradiol treatment of cells increased the levels of p-Akt ( F =49.173,P =0.033 ) and Bcl-2 ( F =115.916,P =0.001 ) when compared with the group of treatment astrocytes with H2O2.Conclusion These findings suggest that the attenuation of PTEN expression mediated by estrogen is associated with an increase in phosphorylation/activation of the Akt and the Bel-2 expressions.These results suggest that the protective effects of 17-β estradiol on the experimental model of SCI rats may depend on the estrogen protection to the astrocytes which may be mediated by decreasing the PTEN expression.

In order to study the effect of seed soaking with different aluminum solution on seed germination and seedling physiological characteristics of Platycondon grandiflorum, two P. grandiflorum varieties'seed (the white flower and the purple flower) were soaked in Al3+ solution with different concentrations (0, 10, 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg x L) for 24 h, then germinated in illumination incubator. Results showed that the aluminum toxicity on the trends of the germination rate, germination index and vigor index was positive associated with its concentration, and the Al tolerance of the purple was slightly greater than that of the white. There were some relationships between the physiological indices, which were the leakage rate of electrolyte, the malonaldehyde (MDA) content, the activities of peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) , the free praline(Pro) and the soluble sugar contents, with the concentrations of Al. It was suggested that there was Al tolerance difference between the two P. grandiflorum varieties: the purple flower was greater than the white.

Abstract Poly-l-lactide/beta-tricalcium phosphate (PLLA/betaTCP) composite was obtained by combining ground beta-TCP with PLLA, and absorbable rods were prepared by injection moulding. Degradations of the rods were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), mass loss, molecular weight and bending strength changes. At the beginning of in vivo degradation of the rods, the molecular weight of PLLA decreases sharply with the less mass losses of the rods. As in vivo degradation progress, the surfaces of the rods changed roughly, while micropores and fine groove were observed in the inner part of the rods. The bending strength of composite rods decreased from 151 MPa to 106 MPa after in vivo degradation of 12 weeks. Tissue test reveal that PLLA/beta-TCP composite has good tissue compatibility compared with PLLA.

To examine the effect of salidroside on the expression and activities of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in bone marrow (BM) of BM depressed anemic mice by immunohistochemistry and gelatin zymography respectively, and to explore its roles in hematopoietic regulation. Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 of bone marrow cells (BMCs) was found in each group. Compared with control group, the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was obviously increased in the model group, low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose salidroside. At day 4 after treatment of radiation and chemotherapy, the peak of the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was found in middle-dose salidroside . At day 8 after treatment of radiation and chemotherapy, the peak of the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was found in low-dose and middle-dose salidroside respectively. Gelatin zymography revealed that 66 kD proMMP-2, 62 kD MMP-2, 86 kD MMP-9 and 94 kD proMMP-9 were detected in control group, and the activity of MMP-9 was stronger among them. After treatment of radiation and chemotherapy, the activity of gelatinases of hemopoietic microenviroment (HM) was obviously decreased, but low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose salidroside could significantly increase the activities of proMMP-9 and MMP-9, attenuate the activity of proMMP-2. These results suggest that salidroside could promote the recovery of hematopoietic function of BM depressed anemic mice by increasing the expression and activity of MMPs, releasing the cytokines from ECM or cell membrane, repairing impaired microvessels of HM and promotion proliferation, migration and differentiation of HSCs.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological features of bladder urothelial carcinoma BUC in children and to share the experience of diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinicopathological data,diagnosis and treatment process of a rare 9-year-old boy with BUC treated in the Second People's Hospital of Kashgar were reported and the literature was reviewed.Results The main clinical symptom is hematuria.Both preoperative urinary ultrasound and CT urography(CTU)identified the tumor,which was then removed with transurethral holmium laser resection under general anesthesia.Postoperative pathology confirmed papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential(PUNLMP).Epirubicin hydrochloride instillation was administered,and no evidence of recurrence or progress was detected during the 3-month follow-up.Conclusion Bladder urothelial carcinoma in children is extremely rare.The most common symptom is hematuria,and there are no characteristic signs.Urinary ultrasound is the first choice for preoperative imaging,and transurethral resection of the carcinoma results in good recovery.There is no recommendable instillation,and patients need long-term postoperative follow-up.

Objective:To explore the sex-based heterogeneity in demographic and pathological trends of lung cancer during the past 30 years.Methods:Patients with primary lung cancer who received surgical treatment in the Department of thoracic surgery, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital Tongji University from 1989 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The differences between male and female patients in age, smoking history, pathological stage and type were compared. Mann- Kendall trend test was performed for trend analysis. Results:A total of 58 433 patients were included in this study, encompassing 30 729(52.6%) men and 27 , 704(47.4%) women. Compared with male patients, female patients were younger(56.0 years old vs. 59.7 years old), and had a higher proportion of non-smokers(98.3% vs. 52.3%), stage Ⅰ lung cancers(60.6% vs. 49.3%), and adenocarcinoma(93.7% vs. 56.1%, all P-values <0.001). Trend analyses revealed that the proportion of female patients increased year by year, and surpassed males in 2015, with the current ratio of male to female being 1∶1.5. After 2013, the age of onset in females was getting younger, and the average age decreased from 58.7 years old to 54.7 years old( P=0.02). The decrease in the proportion of smoking patients was mainly reflected by male patients(from 68.5% to 31.1%, P<0.01). Stage Ⅰ lung cancers in male and females outnumbered advanced stage in 2012 and 2010, respectively, with a much higher proportion in female patients. Among male patients, adenocarcinoma has replaced squamous cell carcinoma as the most common pathological type since 2012, while in female patients adenocarcinoma remained the most common pathological type of lung cancer, and its proportion continued to increase reaching over 98%. Conclusion:A dramatic change in gender distribution was noticed during the past 30 years. Female patients became the primary population in surgically-treated lung cancers, with a trend of getting younger. The proportion of smokers and squamous cell carcinoma decreased significantly in male patients, and adenocarcinoma has become the most common pathological type of lung cancer. The proportion of stage Ⅰ lung cancers was on a dramatic rise, with the popularization of CT screening for lung cancer.
