Objective To evaluate the role of 5-hydroxy trptarine 2A receptor (5-HT2A) in the pathogenesis of biliary fibrosis after liver transplantation in rats.Method Rats were randomly divided into control group Ⅰ and control group Ⅱ[(supplied livers were preserved for 1 or 12 h),ketanserin group (recipients of control group Ⅱ were intraperitoneally injected with ketanserin 24 h postoperatively at the dosage of 5 mg · kg-1 · day-1),and sham group (rats were subjected to transverse laparotomy and closure without manipulation of the liver).During 4-week observation period,serum biliary enzymes,5-HT content in the liver,the expression of fibrosis-related genes,cholangiocytes proliferation and biliary fibrosis were evaluated.Result Compared with the sham group,the serum ALP,GGT,TBil and 5-HT contents in the liver homogenate were increased on the postoperative day 1 (POD1) and then restored to the normal level.There was slight proliferation of bile duct epithelial cells on POD3 in the control group Ⅰ,with fewer collagen fibers and α-sooth muscle actin (α-SMA)-positive myofibroblasts in the portal area.The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and procollagen α1-mRNA in graft livers was not significantly increased in the control group Ⅰ.To the contrast,the control group Ⅱ demonstrated high levels of serotonin in the liver homogenate and enhanced serum biliary enzymes.Active cholangiocytes proliferation was triggered on POD3 and remained higher than in the control group Ⅰ and the sham group.The control group Ⅱ showed a large number of α-SMA-positive myofibroblasts and collegan fibers at the postoperative week 4.In parallel,the major profibrogenic transcripts MMP2 and procollagen α1 were significantly increased at 2nd,and 4th week postoperation in the control group Ⅱ.Importantly,we also found that ketanserin relieved the signs of biliary fibrosis at 4th week postoperation in 5-HT2A group by the demonstration of reduced collagen fibers and a-SMA-positive myofibroblast in the portal area,as well as the decrease in the fibrosis-related gene expression.In addition to the lower cholangiocytes proliferation,serum levels of biliary enzymes including GGT,ALP and TBil in 5-HT2A group were significantly decreased at 4th week postoperation as compared with the control group Ⅱ.Conclusion Selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist,Ketanserin retards biliary fibrosis progression posttransplantation,suggesting that 5-HT2A receptor is a potential therapeutic target for ischemia-related biliary fibrosis after DCD liver transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the differences in efficacy, survival outcomes, and acute and late toxicities for patients with local/regional advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in combination with che-motherapy (CT) and by IMRT alone. Methods:A total of 72 newly diagnosed local/regional advanced NPC patients were randomly subjected to IMRT/RT+adjuvant CT (after radiotherapy, RT) (n=42) or IMRT+adjuvant CT (after RT) (n=30). The Kaplan-Meier meth-od was used to analyze the two-year local/regional control rates, distant metastasis-free survivals, and overall survivals. The acute and late radiation toxicities were evaluated based on the toxicity criteria of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and European Organiza-tion for Research and Treatment of Cancer. Results:A median follow up period of 13.5 months was included in the study. The one-year and two-year local/regional control rates, distant metastasis-free survivals, and overall survival in the IMRT group were 95.0%, 80.0%, and 95.0%, and 80%, 60.0%, and 75.0%, respectively. For the IMRT+CT group, such rates were 100%, 96.4%, and 96.4%, and 100%, 92.9%, and 92.9%, respectively. The two-year local/regional control rate and distant metastasis-free survivals in the IMRT+CT group were higher than those in the IMRT group (P<0.05). Most patients had grade 1 to grade 2 acute radiation toxicities and grade 0 to grade 1 late radiation toxicities (P>0.05). No patient showed a grade 4 acute or late toxicity. The blood and gastrointestinal toxicity rates were high in the IMRT+CT group (P<0.05). Conclusion:The IMRT+CT treatment has potential advantages over the IMRT in the treatment of local/regional advanced NPC patients in terms of local/regional control and overall survival. The blood and gastrointestinal toxicity rates in the IMRT+CT group were higher than in the IMRT group but still within a tolerable range.

Objective To test the inhabiting effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus on E.coli O157: H7 in intestinal colonization and explore its mechanism. Methods The suppressive effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus against E.coli O157:H7 adhering to Ht29 cells were carried out by competition , exclusion and replacement as-says. Furthermore, we evaluated the cytokine levels of IL-4, IL-12, and INF-γ in serum of mice. In addition, E.coli O157:H7 fecal shedding was monitored and the pathological changes of intestines were observed in mice. Results The competition, exclusion and replacement assays showed Lactobacillus acidophilus inhibited E.coli O157:H7 adhering to Ht29 cells. In vivo, the mice of treatment group were induced significantly higher level of IL-4, IL-12, and INF-γ, though prevention group induced IL-12 only. Fifteen days after E.coli O157:H7 infec-tion, there were 8 mice (80%) in prevention group and 5 mice (50%) in treatment group stopped shedding. Moreover, the pathological changes of intestines of both prevention group and treatment group appeared normal , but control groups showed seriously damaged in intestinal villus. Conclusion Lactobacillus acidophilus inhibits E.coli O157:H7 in intestinal colonization and the preventative effect was better than treatment effect. Thus , Lac-tobacillus acidophilus can be used for E.coli O157:H7 in prevention and treatment infection as probiotics.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of garlic oil combined with 5-FU induced apoptosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma cell line ACC-M. METHOD: Human salivary in adenoid cystic carcinoma cell line AC-M was cultured, divided into the experimental group (5-FU group, garlic oil group, garlic oil + 5-FU group) and the control group, to observe the growth activity of tumor cells by MTT methods; to analyse the changes of cell cycle and apoptosis rate by flow cytometry. RESULT: MTT experiments showed that 5-FU, garlic oil, garlic oil and 5-FU on ACC-M cells have inhibition in different concentration, with the increase of concentration and action time of the rise; Cell cycle analysis showed significant changes in flow cytometry. With the increase of concentration and the acting time, the G0/G1, phase of the cell ratio increased, S had no significant change, but G2/M phase cells decreased. Apoptosis rate display showed garlic oil combined with 5-FU induced apoptosis of ACC-M cells was significantly stronger than single group. CONCLUSION Garlic oil can effectively induce the apoptosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma cell line ACC-M. The effect of garlic oil combined with 5-FU on ACC-M cells was stronger than the garlic oil, 5-FU used alone.

Objective:To summarize the characteristics of neuralgia in Fabry disease and explore the effects of genders and alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) gene mutation types on neuralgia.Methods:Questionnaires and Brief Pain Inventory evaluations were conducted on the recruited patients diagnosed as Fabry disease in Department of Neurology, Peking University First Hospital from January 2001 to April 2020. The characteristics of the neuralgia were summarized, and the portrait of neuralgia between male and female patients, and the patient groups carrying truncated mutations and non-truncated mutations of GLA gene was compared.Results:A total of 93 patients with Fabry disease were enrolled. The incidence of neuralgia was 91.4% (85/93),and the average onset age of pain was 9 years. The average remission age was 20 years with the remission incidence of 22.8% (18/79). Pain attack on extremities [96.5%(82/85)] was the most common form. The neuralgia relieving rate of male patients [17.5%(11/63)] was lower than that of females (7/16, χ2=5.01, P=0.025).Brief Pain Inventory scores showed that the degree of most severe pain attack within 24 hours of male patients (4.16±3.20) was higher than that of females (2.07±2.02, t=3.03, P=0.004),and the impact of pain on daily life [male 4 (7) vs female 0 (4), Z=-2.33, P=0.020], walking ability [male 5 (8) vs female 0 (2), Z=-2.87, P=0.004], daily work [male 5 (8) vs female 0 (2), Z=-3.10, P=0.002], relationship [male 2 (6) vs female 0 (3), Z=-2.67, P=0.008] and interests [male 4 (8) vs female 0 (3), Z=-2.81, P=0.005] of male patients was also higher than female patients. The truncated mutation group [1 (2)] only showed higher score on the current pain level than the non-truncated mutation group [0(0), Z=-2.89, P=0.003]. Conclusions:The neuralgia in Chinese patients with Fabry disease showed high incidence and early onset. Male patients presented more severe pain than female which led to a greater impact on life, while the type of GLA gene mutation had less impact on neuralgia.
