microRNAs (miRNAs)are endogenous non-coding RNAs,which play important roles in the regulation of gene terms.miRNAs affect almost every physiological process of the body,and many diseases are related to the disorders of miRNAs.Current studies show that the abnormal expressions of miRNAs are closely relate to the tumorigenesis,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of gastric cancer.So miRNAs can be used as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the role of Ezrin and its phosphorylation(p-Ezrin)in the modulation of rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell(PMVEC)injury induced by tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and the impact of Rac 1. Methods Cultured PMVECs of Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into time-dependent injury group induced by TNF-αand intervention group in which cells were pretreated with Rac 1 inhibitor (NSC 23766).①In the time-dependent injury group, Western Blot was used to detect the expression of Ezrin and p-Ezrin after 10μg/L TNF-αstimulation for 0,0.25,0.5,1,3,6,12,24 hours.②In the intervention group,after pre-treatment with 200μmol/L NSC 23766 for 0.5 h,PMVECs were treated with 10μg/L TNF-α,and the expression of p-Ezrin was detected by Western Blot after 3 hours. Besides these groups,there were control(1% fetal bovine serum simulation),single NSC 23766 or TNF-α simulation groups. Results ① Few Ezrin expression was found in PMVEC,and TNF-α could not affect Ezrin expression. p-Ezrin protein expression(p-Ezrin/Ezrin,gray scale) of PMVECs at 0 hour after TNF-αstimulation was 0.21±0.03,and elevated at 0.25 hour(0.53±0.19),peaked at 3 hours(1.68±0.30),then it was gradually lowered,but it remained at higher level at 24 hours(0.87±0.18)with significant difference(F=62.200,P=0.000). It demonstrated that TNF-αcould increase Ezrin phosphorylation in a time-dependent manner.②Compared with blank control group,in single NSC 23766 or TNF-αsimulation group, p-Ezrin expression was induced(TNF-αgroup:0.92±0.12 vs. 0.68±0.16,t=-2.864,P=0.020;NSC 23766 group:1.33±0.24 vs. 0.68±0.16,t=-5.429,P=0.000. When NSC 23766 was pre-treated with PMVECs,the expression of p-Ezrin was significantly increased compared with that in single TNF-αsimulation group(2.14±0.18 vs. 0.92±0.12,t=-14.670,P=0.000)with significant difference(F=73.810,P=0.000). Conclusion Ezrin proteins are phosphorylated by TNF-α. Rac 1 signaling pathway inhibition plays an important role in TNF-α-induced injury by up-regulation of p-Ezrin in PMVECs.

Objective To repair the experimental femoral head necrosis with the implantation of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) loaded with human bone morphogenetic protein-2(hBMP-2) gene transfected bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs). Methods Established the animal models of femoral head necrosis in 22 goats by the ligation of the lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries and delivery of liquid nitrogen into femoral head. 4 goats served as the control group without any treatment. 3 weeks after surgery, necrotic bone in the other 18 goats were removed and TCP loaded gene transfer cells were implanted into the femoral head with BMP-2 gene transfected BMSCs in right side and ?-gal gene transfected BMSCs in left side. BMP-2 concentrations in femoral head were tested by the ELISA at 1st, 2nd, 3rd week after implantation. Histological observation was done before and at 6th, 10th, 16th week after implantation. New bone volumes (NBV) were measured at 16th week after implantation by the histomorphometry method. X-ray was taken at 16th week after operation in untreated group and after treatment in BMP-2 group and ?-gal group. Results The concentration of BMP-2 in femoral head of BMP-2 group was higher than that of ?-gal group at different time point. Empty lacunae and fibrotic marrow were demonstrated before implantation. New bone was evident in the implantation field of BMP-2 group while fibrous tissues were evident in that of ?-gal group at 6th, 10th and 16th week after treatment. Histomorphology analysis indicated that the NBV in BMP-2 group was significantly higher than that in ?-gal group. Articular surface collapse were observed in the X-ray photograph of untreated group. Regular shape and normal density of femoral head in BMP-2 group compared with the irregular shape and low density of femoral head in ?-gal group could be demonstrated in the X-ray photograph 16 weeks after treatment. Conclusion Implantation of the TCP loaded with human BMP-2 gene transfected BMSCs could repair early-stage experimental femoral head necrosis.

This study examined the effect of resveratrol on the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and subsequent proliferation of human leukemia U937 cells, and explored the mechanisms involved. Human leukemia U937 cells were treated with resveratrol of different concentrations (12.5-200 micromol/L) for different time lengths (12-48 h). The proliferation of the U937 leukemic cells was determined by MTT assay. Apoptosis was observed by Annexin-V-FIFC/PI double staining and flow cytometry (FCM). Cells cycle was analyzed by PI staining and FCM. The content of VEGF was determined by ELISA. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were examined for vasoformation in vitro after exposures to resveratrol of various concentrations. The results showed that resveratrol inhibited the proliferation of U937 leukemia cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner. Resveratrol induced apoptosis and S-phase cell cycle arrest in human leukemic U937 cells. Resveratrol inhibited the secretion of VEGF in U937 cells. Resveratrol inhibited the vasoformation of human vein endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. It was concluded that resveratrol could down-regulate the secretion of VEGF, induce apoptosis and suppress the proliferation of U937 cells.

Objective:To investigate the infusion methods of postoperative enteral nutrition in patients with gastric cancer.Methods:86 patients with gastric cancer received radical operationin our hospital from January 2014 and December 2015 were enrolled for the study and randomly divided into continuous infusion group and periodic infusion group,each group with 43 cases.Patients in continuous infusion group were given postoperative continuous enteral nutrition for 24 h in one day,while cases in periodic infusion group were given postoperative continuous enteral nutrition for 15-17 h in one day.Results of enteral nutrition,physical indicators including upper arm skinfold,diameter of midpoint of upper arm and grip strength,nutritional indexes including total protein (TP),hemoglobin (Hb),albumin (AIb),prealbumin (PA) and transferrin(TF),immune indicators including immunoglobulin G(IgG),immunoglobulin M (IgM),immunoglobulin A (IgA),CD4+,CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+were compared between two groups before and after operation.Results:Intolerance of enteral nutrition occurred in 1 case(2.3％) of continuous infusion group and 3 cases(7.0％) of periodic infusiongroup,and there was no significant difference between them (P＞0.05).Time of transition to full enteral nutrition and taking off the tube to self-feeding incontinuous infusion group were significantly smaller than that in periodic infusion group (P＜0.05).There were no significant difference in baseline data,physical indicators,nutritional indexes and immune indicators between them before operation (P＞0.05).PA level at 5 d,10 d after operation in continuous infusion group were significantly higher than that in periodic infusion group (P＜0.05),and there were no significant difference in physical indicators,other nutritional indexes and immune indicators between them after operation(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Compared with periodic infusion,continuous infusion method could shorten the time of transition to full enteral nutrition and taking off the tube to self-feeding in patients after radical operation of gastric cancer,and had more significant effect of improvement of nutritional status,worthy of clinical popularization and application.
