Objective To investigate the time-effect relationship and dose-effect relationship of the expression of adenovirus mediating Smad 7 gene regulated by irradiation via Egr-1 promoter in the lung of C57BL mice. Methods Recombinant adenovirus (AD.Egr-Smad 7) was made up through replication-defective adenovirus enclosed radio-inducible elements from the Egr-1 gene promoter and cDNA encoding Smad 7. Mice infected by intratracheal instillation with AD.Egr-Smad 7 were irradiated to their whole lungs after 24 hours. 324 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups, and the lungs were harvested at different time points following irradiation with single dose of 8?Gy to observe the time-effect relationship of Smad7 gene expression with different time intervals. 108 mice randomly divided into 3 groups were irradiated respectively by different single irradiation dose and the lungs were harvested 5 hours after radiation to evaluated the dose-effect relationship of Smad 7 gene expression with different radiation doses. The expression of exogenous Smad 7 was detected by Western blot analysis. Results The expression of adenovirus mediating Smad 7 gene regulated by Egr-1 promoter could be induced by radiation markedly as compared with the control groups(P

Objective Objective To study the effect of adenovirus mediating Smad 7 gene regulated by radiation via Egr-1 on the primary tumor and lung metastasis in C57BL mice implanted with Lewis lung cancer.Methods The radio-inducible elements from the Egr-1 gene promoter were inserted upstream to a cDNA encoding Smad7 and integrated into a replication-defective adenovirus to generate recombinant adenovirus(AD.Egr-Smad 7).270 mice implanted with Lewis lung cancer in the hind legs were used and the experiment was started when the transplanted tumor diameter reached 0.8 to 1.0cm.Then three investigations were undertaken,each demanding 90 mice implanted with Lewis lung cancer respectively.To each group,90 mice models were randomized into 3 groups: the normal control group;the NS control group;and the implanted AD.Egr-Smad 7 group.Every 6 mice in each group were irradiated by different single dose to study the following: 1.The maximal and minimal diameters of the tumor were recorded to observe the tumor growth tendency,the tumor growth delay and the mice survival time,2.The incidence of lung metastasis two weeks after the radiation was recorded.3.The incidence of lung metastasis when the tumor volume was four times as large as that at the beginning of radiation was recorded.Results The adenovirus mediating Smad 7 gene expression regulated by irradiation via Egr-1 in C57BL mice implanted with Lewis lung cancer was able to inhibit the progression of the primary tumor and prolong the survival of the mice significantly as compared with the control group(P0.05).Conclusions The gene expression of AD.Egr-Smad 7 regulated by radiation is not risky in promoting the local progression and distant metastasis of Lewis lung cancer in mice.On the other hand,the gene expression of AD.Egr-Smad 7 regulated by radiation could inhibit the progression of the primary tumor and prolong the survival time of the mice significantly.It is safe,to some extent,of using AD.Egr-Smad 7 to block the signal transduction of TGF-?locally as a novel strategy for gene therapy aiming at the prevention of radiation-induced lung

Objective:To explore the effect of extracorporeal shock wave combined with meloxicam tablets on joint function and serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and resistin levels in elderly patients with osteoarthritis.Methods:80 cases of elderly patients with osteoarthritis in Nanchong Central Hospital from May 2016 to March 2019 were selected as the research objects, and they were randomly divided into two groups, 40 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional oral medicine (meloxicam + potassium glucosamine sulfate tablets), and the observation group was given meloxicam tablets combined with extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The total effective rate, incidence of adverse reactions, and the scores of osteoarthritis symptoms (WOMCA), joint function (Lysholm), serum MMP-9 and resistin before and after 8 weeks' treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment, the WOMCA score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and Lysholm score was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05); the total effective rate of the observation group (95.00%) was higher than of the control group (77.50%) ( P<0.05); the serum resistin and MMP-9 levels of the observation group were lower than those of the control group after treatment ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the observation group (15.00%) and the control group (17.50%) ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Extracorporeal shock wave combined with meloxicam tablets in the treatment of elderly patients with osteoarthritis can significantly improve the clinical symptoms, promote the recovery of joint function, reduce the levels of serum resistin and MMP-9, and further improve the treatment effect with high safety.

Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 genes(GSTM1 and GSTT1),and eval-uate the oxidative damage in patients with non-small lung cancer(N-SCLC). Methods A total of 110 patients with N-SCLC and 100 healthy indi-viduals were recruited in this case-control study. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction(PCR)analysis was used to identify the genotypes. The activi-ty of malondialdehyde(MDA),nitric oxide(NO),and the total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)were detected by spectroscopic analysis using assay kits. Results The frequencies of the GSTM1,T1,and GSTM1/T1 null genotypes in the patient group were significantly higher than those in control group(OR1=2.071,P1=0.009;OR2=1.900,P2=0.024;OR3=3.258,P3=0.003). The activity of MDA and NO were obviously higher in the pa-tient group compared with the control group(P<0.001),and T-AOC was obviously lower in patient group than those in control group(P<0.001). The activity of MDA,and NO were higher but the T-AOC were lower in patients with GSTM1,T1 and GSTM1/T1 null genotypes than those in pa-tients with GSTM1,T1 and GSTM1/T1 present genotypes(P<0.001). Conclusion Our results suggest that oxidative damage may play a impor-tant role in patients with N-SCLC,and the N-SCLC patients with GSTM1and GSTT1deletion genotypes are more susceptible to oxidative damage.

Objective To investigate the relationship between triglyceride and serum polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods Totally 74 MS patients (MS group) and 62 healthy subjects (normal control group,NC group) were recruited from June 2011 to June 2012 in Shaoxing People's Hospital.Serum phospholipid fatty acid profiles were analyzed with capillary gas chromatography.Serum lipids were measured by enzymatic assay.Results The triglyceride concentration was significantly higher in MS group than that in NC group [(2.0 ±0.8) mmol/L vs.(1.3 ±0.5) mmol/L,P=0.000].The levels of n-3 PUFA,n-6 PUFA,and PUFA were significantly lower in MS group than those in NC group (9.8％ ±2.2％ vs.11.1％ ±2.4％,P=0.002; 35.4％ ±6.7％ vs.39.5％ ±7.8％,P=0.009; 45.2％ ±8.9％ vs.50.6％ ±10.1％,P =0.000).Triglyceride concentration was inversely correlated with n-3 PUFA and PUFA levels (r =-0.42,P =0.008 ; r =-0.23,P =0.013).Conclusions n-3 PUFA,n-6 PUFA,and PUFA decrease in MS patients.Triglyceride concentration is inversely correlated with PUFA.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-3PUFA) and insulin resistance(IR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods This trial involved 51 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with NAFLD (G4 group), 50 patients of type 2 diabetes alone(G3 group), 45 patients of NAFLD alone (G2 group) and 42 healthy control subjects (G1 group). Serum ω-3PUFA profile was analyzed with capillary gas chromatography. Insulin resistance was assessed by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR). ALT, AST, γ-glutamyltransferase(GGT) and serum lipids were measured. Results The levels of HOMA-IR were higher in G4 group than those in G3, G2 and G1 group(4. 90 ± 2. 54 vs 2. 38 ± 1.23, 2. 20 ± 1.15, 1.13± 0.42;P<0.05). The level of ALT, AST, GGT, TC, TG, LDL-C were higher in G4 group than those in G3, G2 and G1 group(P < 0. 05). The level of ω-3PUFA was signifieantly lower in G4 group than those in G3, G2 and G1 group(5.68 ±2.02 vs 7. 17 ±2. 38, 6.97±2.32, 10.08±2.76;P <0.05). ω-3PUFA cocentration was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR, TC, TG and LDL-C (r = -0.491, -0. 376, - 0. 462, - 0. 408, P < 0. 05). Conclusions Serum ω-3 PUFA is significantly decreased in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and NAFLD. Serum ω-3PUFA is negatively correlated with insulin resistance. ω-3PUEA plays a very important role in the development of diabetes mellitus and NAFLD.
