Objective To observe the expression of acid-sensing ion channel la (ASICla) and to investigate the effect of intracellular Ca2 + concentration on focal cerebral ischemia in diabetic rats.Methods 108 male Wistar rats were divided into three groups:group A [rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)],group B [rats with MCAO and diabetes (DM + MCAO)],group C [rats with MCAO and diabetes treated with fasudil intervention (DM+ MCAO+ fasudil)] (n=36 each).Samples were obtained at the time points of 1,3,6 and 24 h after ischemia respectively (n=9).Models of MCAO and DM+MCAO were prepared.Rats in DM+MCAO+Fasudil group were treated with fasudil 1 mg/Kg by caudal vein injection after half an hour when DM+MCAO model successfully prepared.ASICla expressions were detected at different time points of ischemia in the 3 groups respectively.Ca2+ concentration in ischemia cortex cells were determined at different time points of ischemia in group B and C.Results ASICla expressions were gradually increased along with the ischemia time in group A and B (group A:0.71±0.10,0.80±0.11,0.86±0.08,0.93±0.09;groupB:0.86±0.11,1.05±0.51,2.42±0.08,2.78±0.04; all P< 0.05),and ASICla expressions at different time points were higher in group B than in group A (all P< 0.05).Ca2-concentration were gradually increased along with the ischemia time in group B (106.32± 18.6,137.84±14.32,151.94± 18.38,183.61±7.96,all P<0.05).Compared with group B,the levels of ASICla expression and calcium current were reduced in group C.Conclusions The activation of ASICla increases calcium ion flow internal pathway leading to intracellular calcium overload,which may be one of the reasons for the aggravation of focal cerebral ischemia in diabetes.

Objective To investigate the effect of breast milk and some other kinds of infant foods on the adhesion of EPEC to Hela cells and intestinal mucosa so as to understand the possible protective mechanism of breast-feeding in the intestine of infants. Methods The adhesion of EPEC to Hela cells and intestinal mucosa were examined by cell culture, bacterial adherence test, light and electron microscopy in the mediums that contain breast milk, cow's milk and formula milk or contain ecal filtrate of the infants fed by breast milk and formula milk respectively. Results Adhesive index for EPEC to Hela cells was significantly lower in the medium containing breast milk than in control and so did in the fecal medium containing breast fed infants than artificial feeding infants. Conclusion Breast milk may inhibit the adhesion of EPEC to infant intestine.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of parametrial status on FIGO stage IIIC1 cervical cancer.
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted from June 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018.Patients with stage IIIC1 cervical cancer were included and stratified into two groups based on the status of parametrial involvement. Patients with IIIA or IIIB were selected as control. The primary outcomes are overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
Results:
Of 586 patients included, 377 patients were stage IIIC1 (group A) and 209 patients were stage IIIA/IIIB (group B). Compared control, stage IIIC1 was not associated with worse 5-year OS or PFS. Of the stage IIIC1 patients, 58.1% without parametrial involvement (group A1) and 41.9% with parametrial involvement (group A2). Patients of group A1 showed a better prognosis than group A2 both in 5-year rates of OS (79.09% vs. 59.43%, p<0.001) and PFS (73.27% vs. 56.95%, p=0.0002). However, patients of group A1 showed a better prognosis than group B both in OS and PFS. Also, patients of group A2 showed a comparable prognosis to group B both in OS and PFS.
Conclusion
Reclassification of stage IIIC1 cervical cancer without parametrial into a new stage is more appropriate and improves discriminatory ability.

BACKGROUND:
Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is one of the main activators of heart failure. Currently, no drug can completely reverse or inhibit the development of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. To this end, we proposed a silicate ion therapy based on extract derived from calcium silicate (CS) bioceramics for the treatment of angiotensin II (Ang II) induced cardiac hypertrophy.
METHODS:
In this study, the Ang II induced cardiac hypertrophy mouse model was established, and the silicate ion extract was injected to mice intravenously. The cardiac function was evaluated by using a high-resolution Vevo 3100 small animal ultrasound imaging system. Wheat germ Agglutinin, Fluo4-AM staining and immunofluorescent staining was conducted to assess the cardiac hypertrophy, intracellular calcium and angiogenesis of heart tissue, respectively.
RESULTS:
The in vitro results showed that silicate ions could inhibit the cell size of cardiomyocytes, reduce cardiac hypertrophic gene expression, including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and b-myosin heavy chain (b-MHC), decrease the content of intracellular calcium induced by Ang II. In vivo experiments in mice confirmed that intravenous injection of silicate ions could remarkably inhibit the cardiac hypertrophy and promote the formation of capillaries, further alleviating Ang II-induced cardiac function disorder.
CONCLUSION
This study demonstrated that the released silicate ions from CS possessed potential value as a novel therapeutic strategy of pathological cardiac hypertrophy, which provided a new insight for clinical trials.
