The Journal of Clinical Anesthesiology 2016;32(6):598-601
Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol (RES)on sevoflurane-induced nerve cell injury and its mechanism.Methods Fetal hippocampal tissues were taken from SD pregnant rats and primary nerve cells were isolated and cultured,then the cells were randomly divided into four groups:group control (group C),normal primary nerve cells;group 3% sevoflurane (group S),cells treated with 3% sevoflurane gas;group 3% sevoflurane+RES (group SR),cells treated with RES for 6 h,and then treated with 3% sevoflurane gas;group RES (group R),cells treated with RES.Flow cytometry assay was used to detect the apoptosis of nerve cell;CCK-8 Kit was used to detect cell proliferation;Western blot was used to detect the expression level of Caspase-3,Bax,Bcl-2 and Bace-1;ELISA method was used to detect the protein level of amyloid precursor protein (APP)andβ-amyloid peptide (Aβ).Results Compared with the group C,cell apoptosis was increased (P <0.05),cell proliferation was decreased (P <0.05),the expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bax were up-regulated (P <0.05),the expression level of Bcl-2 was down-regulated (P <0.05), and the protein levels of Bace-1,APP and Aβwere significantly decreased by 3% sevoflurane treat-ment (P <0.05),which were all significantly reversed by RES treatment.Compared with group S, cell apoptosis was decreased (P <0.05),cell proliferation was increased (P <0.05),the expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bax were down-regulated (P <0.05),the expression level of Bcl-2 was up-regulated (P <0.05),and the protein levels of Bace-1,APP and Aβwere increased in group SR (P <0.05).Conclusion Resveratrol alleviated sevoflurane-induced nerve cell injury in vitro by reducing cell apoptosis and promoting cell proliferation,which may be related with the reduction of Aβexpression and the reduced Aβ-induced neurotoxicity.
2.Clonidine inhibits inflammatory response in lung injury mice through cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2017;33(7):1283-1287
AIM: To explore the influence of clonidine on inflammatory response in lung injury mice and its possible mechanism.METHODS: Clonidine solution was intravenously injected into the mice with lung injury induced by LPS.The left upper lobe of the lung was collected to detect lung wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and total lung water content (TLW).The concentrations of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α were measured by ELISA.The expression of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) and high-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) at mRNA and protein levels was determined by RT-PCR and Western blot.After importing α7nAChR siRNA lentiviral vector or injecting exogenous HMGB1 protein, the inflammatory cytokines were detected.RESULTS: Clonidine attenuated lung injury and inhibited inflammatory reaction.Clonidine promoted the activation of cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway by promoting α7nAChR expression.Clonidine inhibited HMGB1 expression, which promoted the secretion of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α.HMGB1 was negatively regulated by α7nAChR.CONCLUSION: Clonidine functions as an anti-inflammatory reagent to the lung injury mice.The mechanism may be related to activating the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and inhibiting the expression of HMGB1.

Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2002;0(01):-
At the moment of its WTO accession, China also enters the stage of mass higher education. Mass higher education is an objective inevitability of the economic and social development. China's mass higher education lays a firm foundation for China to join the WTO and the WTO entry in turn brings considerable opportunities to it. It is expected that the WTO entry will promote the process of mass higher education of China.

Objective To compare the efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopy plus minithoracotomy(VAMT) and limited axillary thoracotomy(LAT) for the treatment of lung cancer.Methods 85 consecutive lung cancer patients were treated by either VAMT or LAT.The operative time,blood loss during operation,postoperative chest drainage time,and hospital stay time and postoperative complication were compared between the two groups.Results There was no death in two groups.The operative time and blood loss during operation were significant less in VAMT than inLAT(t =6.514,2.413,all P <0.05).But postoperative chest drainage time,and hospital stay time and postoperative complication were no significant difference between the two groups (t =0.490,0.338,all P > 0.05).Conclusion VAMT is a safe and less traumatic procedure in the treatment of lung cancer,which is worthy of promotion and application.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after cerebral infarction. Methods The clinical and neuroimaging data of 100 patients (gender,age-matched)with cerebral infarction and hemorrhagic transformation from January 2005 to January 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. The following factors were listed for single factor analysis: the history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus,admission blood pressure,blood sugar,infarction size,alcohol,smoking,atrial fibrillation,hypercholesterolemia, combined anticoagulant and antiplatelet aggregation therapy. All the above factors were analyzed by chi-square test or t test, and Logistic regression analysis was used to screen out the related risk factors of HT from the potentially related factors. Results Atrial fibrillation (OR =5.483,95%CI:fibrillation,extensive cerebral infarction,blood sugar,high blood pressure at the beginning of the disease,combined anticoagulant and antiplatelet aggregation therapy are the major risk factors of HT. At the same time, the occurrence of HT is the result of the joint effect of multiple factors and multiple mechanisms.

Purpose To investigate the correlation of the expression of Cyclin D1 and BRAF ( V600E) mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma ( PTC) and their clinical significance, and to analyze their role in the pathogenesis of PTC. Methods The expression of CK34βE12 and MC protein was detected by immunohistochemical EnVision method in 52 cases of PTC and 52 cases of thyroid benign lesions (25 cases of nodular goiters, 15 cases of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, 12 cases of follicular adenoma), and the mutation status of BRAF gene protein in above specimens were detected by polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing. Expression of Cyclin D1 and BRAF (V600E) mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma and their correlation clinicopathologic features were also analyzed. Results The positive rate of Cyclin D1 in 88 cases of PTC was 84. 6%,and the immunoreactivity score (4. 6 ± 2. 4), compared with thyroid be-nign lesions (1. 3 ± 1. 6), was statistically significant difference (t=8. 525, P<0. 01). Expression of Cyclin D1 was closely related with lymph node metastasis, capsular invasion, tumor stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ and BRAF (V600E) mutation (P<0. 05), but not related with age, gender, number and diameter of tumor nodules. In 52 cases of PTC BRAF gene mutation rate was 63. 5%, but in thyroid benign lesions mutation rate was 0, with significant difference (P<0. 01). The BRAF mutation is closely related with lymph node metastasis, capsular invasion and tumor stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ(P<0. 05), but not related with age, gender, number and diameter of tumor nodules. The expression of Cyclin D1 in BRAF (V600E) mutation group was stronger, the positive expression rate was significantly higher than that of wild group (100% vs 57. 9%), and expression of the mean score was higher than that of the wild group (5. 7 ± 1. 6 vs 4. 0 ± 2. 5);the comparison between the two groups showed statistical difference (t=2. 652, P<0. 05). Conclusions The expression of Cyclin D1 and BRAF (V600E) mutation are positively related, which are also closely related with the occurrence and development of PTC, and can be used as an index to predict the invasion and metastasis in PTC.

Objective To study the effect of zinc on lipid peroxidation, anti-oxidase and development of rats. Methods 64 SD rats weight was(109.7?10.4) g, 32 male, 32 female were randomly divided into 4 groups. Every group was fed on the fodder contained zinc of different content for 40 days to build animal model. The Zn, Cu, Fe and MDA contents, SOD and GSH-Px activity in tissue of rats were determined.
