Objective To investigate the protective effect of sodium tanshinone ⅡA sulfonate(STS) on adriamycin-induced H9c2 cell apoptosis. Methods H9c2 cells were divided into four groups: the control group, the ADR group, the STS group, and the AS(ADR+STS) group. MTT assay were used to detect cell proliferation and cell death. The cell cycle of H9c2 cells were determined by flow cytometry assay. Protein expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 was detected by Western blot assay. Results Compared with the control group, cell proliferation was significantly reduced , and the number of the cells was significantly increased in the G0/G1 phase in the ADR group(P < 0.01, P < 0.05). At the same time, the expression of Caspase-3 was dramatically enhanced and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was significantly reduced (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) in the ADR group. However, pretreatment of STS increased H9c2 cell proliferation, decreased the number of the arresting cells, inhibited the expression of Caspase-3, and improved the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax (P < 0.05, respectively). Conclusions STS can attenuate ADR-induced myocardial cell apoptosis.

Objective To compare the diagnostic values of 3D CT and 2D CT imaging for tibial plateau fractures. Methods A retrospective study was performed to evaluate 21 tibial plateau fractures. Four experienced orthopaedists were asked To make assessmem of fracture classifications and characteristics using 3D CT and 2D CT images.Agreement test Was performed to evaluate interobserver and intraobserver reliability for fracture classification and criteria validity for fracture characteristics(intraoperative findings were taken as the golden standard).Furthermore,MeNemar test was used to compare the agreement of 3D CT results and 2D CT results respectively with the golden standard for fracture characteristics.Results When 3D CT images were used.interobserver reliability and intraobserver reliability for fracture elassiftcation increased to"almost perfect agreement".The agreement of golden standard with 3D CT results for fracture characteristics Was significantly higher than that with 2D CT results. Condmiou Since 3D CT imaging can improve the reliability and accuracy of preoperative assessment oftibial plateau fractures,it is helpful and valuable for tibial plateau fractures.

Objective:Antimicrobial peptides ( AMPs ) are peptides generated in the biological defense system against exogenous pathogens ,which is all important constituent of the non-specific immune system.The immune system can react and sometimes play an important role in tumor control both in animal models and in humans.In this study,CecropinXJ were used in the BALB/c Eca109 cells-bearing mice model.To investigate whether CecropinXJ exert anti-tumor efficiency through regulating immune response when treated with tumor-bearing mice.Methods:The expression of cytokines and DC surface molecules were detected by immunohisto-chemistry and Flow cytometry.Results:The experiment of mice showed that CecropinXJ could significantly inhibit the proliferation of transplanted tumors in dose-dependent manner.There were significant difference between control group and 10mg/kg CecropinXJ group on the volume and weight of tumor ( P<0.05 ).CecropinXJ inhibited Eca 109 cells infiltrating growth in tumor tissue without affecting viscera,and the expressions of VEGF and bFGF proteins were higher than those in the control group .The expression of cytokines and DC surface molecules,the results that,compared with the control group,CecropinXJ could not significantly promote the expression of CD4,IL-4 and IFN-γ,while not involving the expression of surface molecules on DCs in spleen (P>0.05).In CecropinXJ treatment group,TNF-αlevel in serum was significantly higher than the control group ( P<0.01 ).Conclusion: CecropinXJ could significantly inhibit tumor growth in Eca109 cells-bearing mice,and might not be affected anti-tumor efficiency through regulating immune response.

Objective To estimate the influence of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the proliferative ability of and methylation levels of genomic DNA and proliferation-associated gene promoter in human HaCaT keratinocytes.Methods Some cultured HaCaT cells were treated with 1,25 (OH)2D3 of 10-6,10-7 and 10-8 mol/L for 24 hours,then,methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was carried out to evaluate the proliferative activity of cells,and a global DNA methylation quantification kit was used to determine the global DNA methylation level.Real-time PCR was conducted to quantify the mRNA expression of DNA methyl transferases (DNMTs) and methyl-DNA binding domain (MBD) proteins,and methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR) to evaluate the methylation status of promoter region in the programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP2) genes,in HaCaT cells after 24-hour treatment with 1,25 (OH)2D3 of 10-6 mol/L.The HaCaT cells receiving no treatment served as the control.Results Compared with the untreated HaCaT cells,those treated with 1,25(OH)2D3 of 10-6 mol/L showed significantly down-regulated proliferative activity (0.152 ± 0.027 vs.0.290 ± 0.017,P ＜ 0.01),global DNA methylation level (0.187 ± 0.071 vs.0.316 ± 0.049,P ＜ 0.05),DNMT3a and DNMT3b mRNA expression levels (P ＜ 0.01 or 0.05),but markedly upregulated mRNA expression levels of MECP2,MBD2,PDCD5 and TIMP2 (P ＜ 0.01 or 0.05).Moreover,the DNA methylation levels within the promoter region of PDCD5 and TIMP2 genes were significantly lower in HaCaT cells treated with 1,25 (OH)2D3 of 10-6 mol/L than in the control cells (0.38 ± 0.135 vs.0.72 ± 0.121,0.46 ± 0.172 vs.0.68 ± 0.133,both P＜ 0.05).Conclusions 1,25(OH)2D3 may down-regulate the global genomic DNA methylation level of,and modulate the expression of DNA methylationmodifying genes in,HaCaT cells.Furthermore,1,25 (OH)2D3 can decrease the promoter methylation levels but induce the overexpression of PDCD5 and TIMP2 genes,and decelerate the proliferation of HaCaT cells.
