Apoptosis inhibitors ( inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, IAPs) are a class of highly conserved apoptotic endogenous anti-cytokine family, primarily by inhibiting caspase activity and par-ticipation in regulation of nuclear factor NF-κB inhibition of ap-optosis. caspases cascade of protease activation is a central part of the apoptotic process, Bcl-2 family proteins and IAPs family proteins are the main controlling factors. In recent years, we found that abnormal expression of some IAPs members is closely associated with the tumor, a potential target for cancer therapy. Therefore, this paper reviews the major protein associated with IAPs family and anti-tumor research targeting IAPs.

Conclusions The superficial vein surgery of lower extremity can improve deep vein valve function in some extent.

BACKGROUND:YOUMET cervical dilating rod is made of absorbent polymer materials and has non-toxic side effects, which can avoid cross-infection in one-time use. OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical effects of YOUMET cervical dilating rod used for cervical orifice dilation before intrauterine device insertion and removal as wel as before artificial abortion operations. METHODS:Totaly 275 female subjects schedule for cervical dilation during intrauterine device insertion and removal operations, and suction abortion for pregnancy within 10 weeks were randomly divided into two groups: 137 were included in observation group in which YOUMET cervical dilating rods were applied and 138 were included in control group in which Gongshuning glue sticks were used. Their cervical softening and dilatation situation, analgesic effect, and combined reactions during operation were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Between the two groups, no statistical significance in general biological characteristics was found; Dilating effects in intrauterine device removing operations during child-bearing period and menopause were better in the observation group than the control group (P < 0.05). Rates of pain during insertion were higher in the observation group than the control group (P < 0.05). Rates of pain during indweling period for both groups were comparatively low, which showed no statistical significance. There was no record related to the application of cervical orifice dilating products in postoperative folow-up visit. Both products were safe with no cervical injury, slow heart rate and drop in blood pressure. YOUMET cervical dilating rod has trustworthy and safe dilating effects, which can remarkably aleviate pain.

Background Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a primary cause of blurred vision after extra-capsular cataract extraction (ECCE),and there is a higher incidence of PCO in the patients with diabetes mellitus.Echistatin (Ecs) can suppress the proliferation of lens epithelial cells (LECs) and thereby inhibit the formation of PCO.However,its mechanism and safe dose deserve to study.Objective The aim of this study was to observe the inhibitory effect of different concentrations of Ecs on LECs proliferation in the early stage of PCO in diabetic rabbits and explore the safe dose of Ecs.Methods Diabetic mellitus was induced by injection of 90 mg/kg alloxan via ear vein in 15 New Zealand white rabbis.ECCE was performed in the right eyes of the rabbits.The rabbits were randomized to the control group and 5.0,7.5,10.0 and 15.0 μg/ml Ecs group according to randomized number table method.Ecs of 0.2 ml in above doses was injected into the anterior chamber after ECCE in different concentrations of Ecs groups,and 0.2 ml distilled water was used in the same way in the only diabetic rabbits as the control group.Postopeartive response of ocular anterior segment was observed and PCO was graded under the slit lamp microscope.The corneal and retinal specimens were prepared 10 days after operation for the assay of preliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression in LECs by immunochemistry to evaluate the effective dose of Ecs.Regular histopathological examination was performed,and apoptosis of corneal endothelial cells and retinal cells was detected by TUNEL method to assess the safe concentration of Ecs.Results Different degrees of corneal edema and exudation in anterior chamber were seen in the eyes of different groups.The inflammatory response disappeared 3-5 days in the control group and 5.0 μg/ml Ecs group and 7 days in the ≥7.5 μg/ml Ecs groups.PCO was 1-2 grade in the control group and 5.0 μg/ml Ecs group and 0 grade in the ≥ 7.5 μg/ml Ecs groups.The difference in the positive expression level (absorbance,A) for PCNA in LECs was significantly different among the control group and various Ecs groups (F=18.006,P=0.001),and the positive expression level of PCNA in the ≥ 7.5 μg/ml Ecs groups was markedly reduced in comparison with that in the control group (P =0.010,0.001).Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed an normal morphology and order arrangement in corneal endothelial cells and intact structure in retinal internal limiting membrane in the groups.TUNEL assay revealed that the apoptosis values (mean A value) of corneal endothelial ceils and retinal cells in the ≤ 10.0 μg/ml Ecs groups were not significantly changed in comparison with the control group (all at P＞0.05),but the apoptosis values in the 15.0 μg/ml Ecs group were markedly higher than those in the control group (P=0.004,0.018).Conclusions Ecs can inhibit the early PCO in diabetic rabbits and show the optimal effect at the concentrations of 7.5 and 10.0 μg/ml without visible eytotoxicity to eye other tissues.Therefore,these two doses of Ees might be used for the study of long-term therapeutic effectiveness.

Background Phakic posterior chamber implantable contact lens (PPC-ICL) or phakic posterior chamber Toric implantable contact lens (PPC-TICL) implantation is an effective way for the correction of high myopia or high myopia with astigmia,but it often has residual myopic power.Excimer laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) can correct the residual myopia following PPC-ICL or PPC-TICL,but its effectiveness and safety deserve attention.Objective This study was to analyze the clinical effectiveness and safety of LASEK for residual myopia after PPC-ICL implantation for extreme high myopia.Methods A prospective cases-observational study was performed,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient before any surgery.Fourteen eyes of 9 patients with residual myopia following PPC-ICL or PPC-TICL for the eyes with spherical equivalent refraction of ≥-20.00 D were collected in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from July 2010 to March 2015,including PPCICL implantation in 8 eyes and PPC-TICL implantation in 6 eyes.LASEK were performed on the eyes to correct the residual myopic power.Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),haze,the distance of intraocular lens to lens,corneal thickness,corneal topography,corneal endothelial cell counting,intraocular pressure (IOP) and fundus were examined and compared before and after surgery.The effectiveness and safety of the surgery were evaluated.Results The operation was smooth and no complication was found after surgery in all of the eyes.The UCVA and BCVA were significantly different in the eyes among before surgery,6 months after PPC-ICL implantation and 12 months after LASEK (F =31.360,1.778;both at P＜0.05),and the UCVA after LASEK was higher than BCVA before LASEK.The refractive powers were (-22.27-±4.29),(-3.75±2.25) and (-0.42±0.63) D before surgery,6 months after PPC-ICL implantation and 12 months after LASEK,showing a significant difference among them (F=46.370,P＜0.05),and the refractive power was considerably lower after LASEK than that before surgery and after PPC-ICL implantation (both at P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in IOP or corneal endothelial cell counting in operated eyes among before surgery,6 months after PPC-ICL implantation and 12 months after LASEK (F=1.663,1.055;both at P＞0.05).The distance of intraocular lens to lens was (0.69±0.26)mm in the eyes after LASEK and (0.71 ±0.29)mm in the eyes after PPC-ICL implantation,with no significant difference between them (t =0.192,P＞0.05).Conclusions PPC-ICL or PPC-TICL implantation for the correction extreme high myopia often remains a certain degree of myopia,and LASEK for the correction of residual refractive power is safe and effective.

Postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) can lead to adverse clinical outcomes in patients, such as prolonged hospital stay, increased medical costs, and severe economic burden on patients and on society.In addition, it may also cause nosocomial cross-infection.Therefore, it has aroused the high attention of medical workers.The development of SSI is closely related to a variety of factors, including patient factors, such as blood glucose levels, smoking, systemic use of steroids, obesity and malnutrition, and perioperative related factors, such as long preoperative hospital stay, preoperative skin preparation and prophylactic use of antibiotics of patients, hand hygiene and asepsis principles of medical staff, operation-related factors, anesthetic management and operation related factors, operating room environment factors and postoperative factors.Through reading a large number of relevant literatures published in recent years and according to the work characteristics of anesthesiologists, the author summarized the influential factors and preventive measures for postoperative SSI for the reference of fellow doctors.

Objective To investigate the regulation and the mechanism of Melatonin in calcium overload of pancreatic acinar cell in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Methods Fifty-four Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were equally divided into three groups:sham-operation group (SO group),ANP group (created with retrograde cholangiopancreatography injection of sodium taurocholate) and MT group (ANP model made after intra-peritoneal injection MT for 30 mins).Rats were sacrificed at 1,4 and 8hours after operation and pancreas tissues were underwent pathological examination.The free calcium concentration of pancreas tissues was determined by fluorescence minitoring method; and the expression of CaMK Ⅱ in pancreas tissues at mRNA and protein level was tested by real-time PCR and Western Blot.Results Pancreatic pathological injury in ANP groups was progressively severe as time extended,which was obviously ameliorated in MT group compared with ANP group (the t value of compared pathological score at 1,4 and 8 hour was:-7.95,-9.72 and -7.69,all P=0.00).Compared at same time point,the free Ca2+ concentration of pancreas tissues in ANP group was significantly higher than that of SO group (the t value of 1,4 and 8 hour was 13.09,18.58 and 16.56,all P=0.00).It was a little bit higher in MT group compared with that of SO group,however was significantly lower than that of ANP group (the t value of 1,4 and 8 hour was -10.03,-11.75 and -11.02,all P =0.00).Compared with SO group,the expression of CaMK Ⅱ at mRNA and protein level significantly increased in ANP group; MT significantly inhibited its expression.Conclusions The expression of CaMK Ⅱ may be inhibited by MT interfere,and then lower the calcium overload in pancreatic acinar cell,which play a role in pancreas tissue protection.

This study is to investigate the effects of cisplatin combined with heparanase inhibitor OGT2115 on proliferation, invasion and migration of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 and to provide a new target for the treatment of metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. MTT assay was used to detect the cell viability of CNE-2 after exposure to different concentrations of DDP (2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 micromol x L(-1)), different concentrations of OGT2115 (0.4, 0.8, 1.6, 3.2 and 6.4 micromol x L(-1)), and DDP combined with OGT2115. Transwell assay was applied to analyze the effects of drugs on invasion and migration of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Wound healing assay was performed to detect cell migration and heparanase activity was analyzed by ELISA. MTT results showed that DDP can inhibit the proliferation of CNE-2 cells in a time and concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 24.03 micromol x L(-1) at 24 h (P < 0.05), low concentration of DDP has almost no inhibitory effect on cell invasion and migration. DDP combined with OGT2115 can significantly inhibit cell invasion and migration. Inhibition of heparanase can significantly enhance anti-invasion and anti-proliferation of DDP.
