Objective To investigate the effects of hyaluronan (HA) and CD44 on airway mucous hypersecretion,and explore the molecular mechanism of activation of epidermal growth factor(EGF)/epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) signal transduction pathway by signal factors. Methods BEAS-2 B airway epithelial cells were cultured in vitro,and were stimulated by neutrophil elastase(NE).Reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenger(DMTU),hyaluronidase(Hase),CD44 antibody and tissue kallikrein(TK)inhibitor(PI)were served as interventional factors,and control group(serum free culture),NE stimulation group(50 nmol/L NE),DMTU+NE group(20μmol/L DMTU+50 nmol/L NE),DMTU+Hase+NE group(20 μmol/L DMTU+10μg/mL Hase+50 nmol/L NE),CD44Ab+NE group(5 μg/mL CD44Ab+50 nmol/LNE)and PI+NE group(1 00μg/mL PI+50 nmol/L NE)were established.The expression of mucin(MUC)5AC mRNA was detected by RT-PCR,the expression of MUC5AC and EGF protein was determined by ELISA,and the expression of phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor(p-EGFR)protein was analysed by Western blotting. Results The expression of MUC5AC,EGF and p-EGFR protein and MUC5AC mRNA in NE stimulation group was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.01),the expression in DMTU+NE group was significantly lower than that in NE stimulation group(P<0.01),the expression in MTU+Hase+NE group was significantly higher than that in DMTU+NE group(P<0.05 for MUC5AC and p-EGFR protein and MUC5AC mRNA,and P<0.01 for EGF protein),the expression in CD44Ab+NE group and PI+NE group was significantly higher than that in NE stimulation group(P<0.05 for MUC5AC and p-EGFR protein and MUC5AC mRNA,and P<0.01 for EGF protein). Conclusion NE up-regulates the expression of MUC5AC gene via ROS/HA/CD44/TK/EGF/EGFR signal transduction pathway in airway epithelial cells.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the biosafety and biocompatibility of biomaterials. METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI, CBM and VIP as well as manual search were performed to collect articles about random cell control experiments and animal experiments of biological material biocompatibility published between 1990 and 2008. A total of 28 Chinese literatures were collected, and 7 were included mainly involving the cytotoxicity test methods and blood compatibility of the experimental medium, experimental grouping, experimental materials, methods of observation, experimental results, and experimental conclusion. In addition, biocompatibility of the biological material was analyzed to summarize the biocompatibility of the biological safety. RESULTS: Based on experiments of biosafety and biocompatibility of biomaterials, the cytotoxicity test and blood compatibility of various biomaterials, such as collagen, chitosan, magnetic nanoparticle, metal vascular stent, sulphurated siliastic medical grade silicon rubber, polyurethane, ceramic coatings by micro-arc oxidation, are essential for the biological safety. The experimental results have shown that the biomaterials have good biocompatibility. CONCLUSION: A variety of biological materials present good biocompatibility, including collagen, chitosan, magnetic nanoparticle, metal vascular stent, sulphurated siliastic medical grade silicon rubber, polyurethane, ceramic coatings by micro-arc oxidation, based on the evaluation criteria.

Objective To investigate neural correlates of directed forgetting. Methods ERP was recorded from 12 healthy postgraduates while they performed a directed forgetting task based on the item-cueing method. During the study phase, each word was followed by a cue indicated that it need to be remembered, to be forgotten or just to be viewed. During the test phase, subjects were asked to make an old/new recognition response. One-way ANOVA of repeated-measurement and paired comparisons were carried out for the cue factor. Results Both of the accuracy and reaction time of the TBR group were significantly superior to those of the other two groups. No significant behavioral effect was found between the TBF group and the TBV group. In the study phase, statistical parametric mapping of ERP suggested the cue effects were presented in the frontal poles ( 200～300 ms ) and the parietal regions (300～400 ms) ,the left fronto-parietal and the right occipital region (450～700 ms). The difference between the TBF and the TBV was significant in the left parietal area (500～525 ms) and has the significant trend in the right frontal area ( 350～600 ms). In the retrieval phase, the old/new effects of ERP occurred in the left fro-nto-temporal (300～450 ms) for the TBF cue. Conclusions The TBF cue and the TBV cue have the equivalent behavioral performance. During the study period, the activation of the right frontal lobe and the left parietal suggests the active inhibition evoked by the TBF cue. And the TBR cue can enhance the rehearsal function of left hemisphere and improve the memory performance of words. The retrieval of the items of TBF is based on more familiarity and less recollection.

As pattern recognition receptors of innate immunity,Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in the identification of pathogens,regulation of adaptive immunity and signal transduction.With more exploration of the mechanism of microbial keratitis and the acute or chronic rejection after penetrating keratoplasty,the induction and regulation of TLRs on the corneal immune response is increasingly concerned.Up to now,more and more studies of immune signal pathway of TLRs in mediating inflammatory response of bacterial keratitis,fungal keratitis,viral keratitis and graft rejection have been documented.To regulate the expression of TLRs is undoubtedly available for lightening and arresting the immuno-inflammatory response.Here,the current knowledge about TLRs,their signal transduction pathway and their regulation on corneal immunity are summarized,aiming to discuss their significant effects and the potential therapeutic targets.

The development of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies (anti-EGFR McAbs) marked a significant milestone in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treatment. The addition of anti-EGFR McAb can greatly improve quality of life of mCRC patients and mCRC prognosis and markedly increases the overall survival rate from 6 months to nearly 30 months. KRAS and NRAS mutations contribute to the primary resistance to anti-EGFR therapy and can serve as well-established predictive markers for pa-tient selection. Apart from the RAS family, other molecular alteration in EGFR signaling pathway may also compromise the efficacy of anti-EGFR treatment. In addition, patients who responded to anti-EGFR treatment eventually develop acquired drug resistance within 13 and 18 months. In this review, the mechanisms underlying the primary and secondary resistance to anti-EGFR therapy are summa-rized, and a possible strategy to circumvent drug resistance is proposed. We hope this review can provide compelling evidence, deeper insights, and reasonable guidance to facilitate the precise molecular targeted therapy of mCRC.

Objective To investigate and analyze the effect of two different doses of iopamidol enhancement on hepatic CT. Methods In Lishui people's hospital from January 2014 to August 201680 patients who accept hepatic enhancement scan were randomly divided into two groups, the study group and the control group, 40 cases in each group. The control group were received liver CT scan with iopamidol as contrast agent, the concentration was 300 g/L, the dosage was 1.5mL/kg, the concentration and dosage in the study group was respectively 300g/L and 1.2mL/kg. The enhancement effect after scanning in the two groups were observed and compared. Results The imaging quality in arterial phase and in portal phase in the study group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05); The adverse reactions in the study group were more than those in the control group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion In liver CT scanning process, iopamidol as the contrast agent, the enhancement effect of 1.5mL/kg of iopamidol is better than 1.2mL/kg of iopamidol, but the efficiency scanning effect is improved at will also increase allergies and other adverse reactions..

Objective To explore the recurrence-prevention effect of oral contraceptive and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena) after hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy.Methods One hundred and seventy-four patients who received hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy were enrolled in this research.The patients were informed and divided into three groups according to their selection:51 cases were given oral contraceptive since one month until 12 months after the surgery (oral contraceptive group); 60 cases were received Mirena since one month after the surgery (Mirena group) ; and 64 cases were received no treatment after the surgery (control group).The groups were followed up at 3,6,12 months after the surgery and compared the recurrence rate,menstruation,level of hemoglobin and complication rate.Results The recurrence rate in oral contraceptive group,Mirena group and control group was 3.9％(2/51),3.3％ (2/60) and 19.0％ (12/63),respectively.The recurrence rate in control group was higher than that in oral contraceptive group and Mirena group,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The proportion of low menstruation volume in control group was lower than that in oral contraceptive group and Mirena group,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The level of hemoglobin in control group was lower than that in oral contraceptive group and Mirena group [(124.55 ±9.33) g/L vs.(133.71 ± 11.03),(135.89 ±6.88) g/L],and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of complication in Mirena group [18.3％ (11/60)] was less than that in oral contraceptive group[35.3％(18/51)],and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Oral contraceptive and Mirena after hysteroscopy for endometrial polys significantly decrease the recurrence rate.The complication rate of Mirena is lower and it is a safe and effective way to treat and prevent the endometrial polyp.
