Objective To investigate the effects of HMME mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) on apoptosis of murine hepatoma cell line MM45T-Li.MethodsThe photodynamic treatment on MM45T-Li cells was performed in vitro using HMME as photosensitizer and 630 nm laser as light source.The ceils were incubated with HMME of 2.5,5,10 and 20 μg/ml for 4 h respectively,and then irradiated with laser at different dosages.The dark toxicity of HMME and the activity of cells after PDT were evaluated by MTT assay.The effect of PDT on apoptosis were observed by Hoechst fluorescent staining analysis.ResultsMTT assay showed that there were no significant effects on cell growth in each concentration group of HMME when the cells were not exposed to light.The inhibition ratio of cells increased with laser dosage at HMME concentration of 10 and 20 μg/ml.Chromatin condensation,nuclear pyknosis and karyorrhexis were observed after PDT by Hoechst fluorescent staining analysis.The apoptosis rate increased in groups of 5.4 J/cm2 and 7.2 J/cm2 compared with that of control (P<0.05).Conclusion HMME mediated PDT can efficiently induce the apoptosis of MM45T-Li cells.

Objective:To establish an animal model of bone distraction in the irradiated dog mandible.Methods:1 0 Chinese dogs were used.8 dogs received a unilateral irradiation of 60 Co(Group R)in the mandible with a total dose of 22.8 Gy in four 5.7 Gy frac-tions (biologically equivalent to 50 Gy/25 fractions).The other 2 dogs without irradiation served as the controls(Group C).Bilateral corticotomy was made 3 months after completion of irradiation.After a 1 -week latency period,bone distraction was activated at a rate of 0.5 mm twice daily for 1 0 days,followed by a consolidation phase of 8 weeks.New bone was evaluated by radiographic,histological and single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)analysis.Results:One dog was excluded from the study due to anaesthetic death in group R.After 8 weeks of consolidation,no difference was found between the percent area of new bone of both groups.New bone was more mature and organized in Group C than that in Group R.SPECT analyses showed that there was active osteogenic activity in Group R.Conclusion:Distraction osteogenesis can be achieved in the irradiated dog mandible.

Objectve To investigate the association between insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Methods Polymorphism of ACE gene was analyzed by polymease chain reavtion (PCR) in 103 ADPKD patients and 16 ADPKD family constellations including 35 patients and 30 non-ill people. Clinical data were collected and age of onset, hepatocyst, hypertension, urinary tract infecton, urinary concretion, hematuria were used as the main parameters to analyze the association between ACE gene polymorphism and ADPKD. Results The age of onset in DD genotype was 7.2 years younger than that in DI genotype [(31.90±11.41) vs (39.10±10.08) years, P<0.05] and was 14.25 years younger than that in Ⅱ gene type [(31.90±11.41) vs(46.15±14.74) years, P<0.05]. The age of onset in I/D genotype was 7.05 years younger than that in Ⅱ genotype [(39.10±10.08) vs (46.15±14.74) years, P<0.05]. There were significance differences of main clinical symptoms (hypertension, hematuria and urinary tract infection) among three genotype groups. In 11 family constellations, ACE gene polymorphism presented genetic linkage, but without significant difference (P>0.05); the genotype distribution was not significantly different between ADPKD and non-ill people (P>0.05), as well as between man and woman (P>0.05); the DD genotype frequency was significantly higher in ADPKD patients with chronic renal failure (P<0.05). Conclusions The age of onset in DD gentype is the youngest among three groups. The incidence of hypertension and hematuria in DI genotype is the highest. The ACE gene polymorphism in ADPKD family constellation does not provide diagnosis information. The ACE gene I/D polymorphism may not contribute to ADPKD. The DD genotype of ACE may be a risk factor of renal failure in the ADPKD.

Objective To explore the predictive value of ventricle late potential (LP) for arrhythmic events in the patients with Brugada syndrome. Methods Totally 43 patients with Brugada syndrome were divided into symptom group (n=24) and asymptom group (n=19).Signalaveraged electrocardiography(SAECG) was performed to analyze characteristics of LP in all subjects.The occurrence of arrhythmic events was observed in all patients during the dynamic follow-up for (33.8±9.0) months.Results There were 22 cases (91.7%) and 7 cases (36.8%) with LP positive in patients with symptom and asymptom,respectively.The incidences of arrhythmic events were 72.4% in Brugada syndrome patients with positive LP and 14.3% in patients with negative LP,respectively.The relative risk (RR,95% CI) for LP prediction of the arrhythmic events was [5.1,(1.4~ 18.6)] (P =0.002). ConclusionsLP may be one of effective factors predicting arrhythmic events in the patients with Brugada syndrome.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic skin inflammation, and its etiology and pathogenesis have not been fully elucidated to date. In the previous study, rhIL23R-CHR/Fc fusion protein had been found to significantly relieve the symptoms of psoriasis mice and the pharmacological mechanism had been initially elucidated.In this study, we established a psoriasis cell model (Act-HaCaT) using TNF-α-activated human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCat).In our current study, the lncRNA that plays a key role in the regulation of Act-HaCaT function by the rhIL23R-CHR/Fc fusion protein was screened by transcriptome sequencing combined with qRT-PCR.The results showed that rhIL23R-CHR/Fc fusion protein significantly inhibited cell proliferation and inflammatory factor production in Act-HaCaT.lncRNA ENST00000522718 was obtained by screening, and knockdown of ENST00000522718 was found to significantly inhibit cell proliferation and inflammatory factor production.Our findings suggest that ENST00000522718 plays an important role in the pathological mechanism of psoriasis.

Objective:To investigate the application of system relaxation training on the posttraumatic stress disorder for the families of burned children, so as to provide a basis for the application of valid nursing in children families.Methods:A total of 80 cases of burned children in Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and corresponding 80 households were recruited and divided into the observation group and the control group with 40 cases each group. The patients and households from January 2019 to May 2019 in the control group received routine care, while the patients and households from February 2020 to June 2020 in the observation group received system relaxation training based on the routine care for four days. The posttraumatic stress disorder and uncertainty in illness of children families before and after intervention were evaluated by Posttraumatic stress Checklist-Civilian version(PLC-C) and Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Family Member form(MUIS-FM) and compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the scores of PLC-C and MUIS-FM before intervention in the households between the two groups( P>0.05). After intervention, the scores of re-experiencing symptoms, avoidance/numbing, increased arousal symptoms and total PTSD scores in the households were (8.40 ± 1.79), (14.35 ± 2.85), (8.25 ± 1.28), (31.10 ± 3.52) points in the observation group and (11.28 ± 2.37), (16.75 ± 2.09), (9.10 ± 1.93), (37.13 ± 4.40) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -6.76 - -2.32, all P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of ambiguity, deficit information and total MUIS-FM scores of the households were (37.08 ± 6.58), (20.15 ± 4.38), (84.38 ± 6.90) points in the observation group and (41.13 ± 6.54), (22.05 ± 3.32), (90.13 ± 7.85) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t =-2.76, -2.19, -3.48, all P<0.05). Conclusions:System relaxation training can alleviate posttraumatic stress disorder and reduce uncertainty in illness of the families of burned children.

Microglia are the immune cells in central neural system. Microglia play an important role in central neural system such as surrounding environment monitoring, apoptosis induction and mature synapse formation. Besides, as a pathological process, traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause the structure and function damage of central nervous system. While the activated microglia can change the TBI-induced pathological process and play an important role during the course of injury. Therefore, the authors review the important physiological function of microglia and its pathological role so as to provide references for clinical treatment.
