GlyoxalaseⅠthat presents in all human tissues detoxifies α-oxoaldehydes and prevents the formation of advanced glycation end products(AGEs).AGEs and their main precursor namely methylglyoxal(MG)produce cytotoxicity and have extensive relationship with diabetic complications.Therefore,to elevate glyoxalaseⅠactivity may be a new path to release such complications.

This article was aimed to study the factors associated with sleep quality of anger-out and anger-in population based on the frequent pattern-tree (FP-Tree) growing algorithm with data mining. The algorithm of structuring frequent model FP-tree and mining frequent itemsets were designed. The database information scanned was recorded by using FP-Tree growing algorithm through state-trees. The frequent itemsets met minimum support required was generated through reducing the search space of project sets and scanning database only one. The data mining of all factors associated with emotional diseases was actualized. The results showed that factors associated with sleep quality of anger-out and anger-in population were disturbance in respiration, cough or snoring, feeling cold, hot or nightmares. The total time for program analysis was 2 seconds. It was concluded that data mining algorithm based on FP-Tree frequent itemsets can effectively realize the useful information receiving from factors associated with emotional diseases.

Objective To evaluate the usage of renoportal anastomosis in the liver transplanta- tion.Method The successful experience about renoportal anastomosis for portal vein reconstruction in liver transplantation was reported,and related literature reviewed.Results Including our case,there have been 13 cases of liver transplantation using renoportal anastomosis for portal vein reconstruction. Among these patients,8 cases were complicated with diffuse portal vein thrombosis,and 10 cases had a splenorenal shunt(spontaneous shunt in 3 and surgical shunt in 7).Complications related to portal vein hypertension occurred in 3 cases(transient ascites in 2 cases and severe digestive bleeding in 1 case)after liver transplantation.There were 3 deaths which were not related to renoportal anastomo- sis.Conclusion Renoportal anastomosis is a safe and feasible technique in liver transplantation for the patients with diffuse portal vein thrombosis or with splenorenal shunt(spontaneous or surgical shunt).

Objective In order to explore the roles of TLR2 and TLR4 in the hepatocyte dam- age caused hy hepatitis B virus infection,and to find whether LPS can affect the damage of hepato- cytes pre-and pos-HBV infection,we detected the changes of TLR2 and TLR4 expressions in hu- man hepatocyte lines HepG2 cells and 2.2.15 cells.Methods HepG2 ceils are most similar to normal human hepatocytes and 2.2.15 ceils are HepG2 cells infected with HBV.We selected these two cell lines to study the differences of TLR2 and TLR4 expression between HepG2 cells before and after HBV infection.In this research,both HepG2 and 2.2.15 cells were stimulated with 0?g/ml, 1?g/ml,10?g/ml,100?g/ml,1 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml LPS.Then the expression of protein of TLR2 and TLR4 were examined by immuno-histochemistry(IHC).The cnRNA of HepG2 and 2.2.15 ceils stimulated with 0?g/ml and 10 mg/ml LPS were examined by reversal transcription-pol- ymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Thereafter,the apoptosis of HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells were examined by flow cytometry(FC),and the expressions of HBsAg and HBeAg of HepG2.2.15 cells tested with Abbott kits.Results IHC and RT-PCR analysis revealed that TLR2 and TLR4 expres- sions could he detected in both HepG2 and 2.2.15 cells.Moreover,without immune activation, TLR2 and TLR4 expressions were higher in the presence of higher concentrations of LPS.FC analy sis revealed that no apoptosis detected in HepG2 ceils stimulated with LPS in this research,but apop- tosis could be detected in 2.2.15 cells when treated with the same factors.Furthermore,the apoptosis ratios increased with the increase of LPS concentrations.When concentrations of LPS were 1?g/ml, 10?g/ml,100?g/ml,1 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml,the apoptosis ratios were 1.94%,3.03%,3.50%, 3.72%,5.30%,respectively.Abbott analysis revealed that expressions of HBsAg and HBeAg of 2.2.15 cells stimulated with LPS were lower than those not stimulated with LPS.Conclusion HBV can affect the expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 in HepG2 cell lines.LPS can lead 2.2.15 cells to apop- tosis but not HepG2 cells.Although LPS cannot damage normal hepatocytes,it might aggravate hep- atocytes damage when their microenvironment was changed by HBV infection.

Introduction:Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus thermal ablation has been widely used recently in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we aimed to compare results of the combination of TACE and percutaneous thermal ablation with those of hepatectomy in patients with HCC. Methods:The clinical data of 137 HCC patients who sequentially received TACE and computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous thermal ablation as an initial curative treatment (combination group) and 148 matched HCC patients who received hepatectomy (surgery group) between 2004 and 2011 were collected and analyzed. After TACE, multiphase contrast-enhanced CT was performed to identify the total number of tumors as well as lipiodol deposition in the liver. Survival was calculated by using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by using the log-rank test. The prognostic factors were assessed with multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Results:Of all 285 patients, 225 (79.0%) had cancerous lesions≤5 cm in diameter. In preoperative contrast-enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging, the number of tumors was 1–4 for each patient. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overal survival rates were 95, 74%, and 67%in the combination group and 88, 66, and 47%in the surgery group, respectively (P=0.004);the corresponding recurrence-free survival rates for the two groups were 92, 69, and 61%and 75, 58, and 44%, respectively (P=0.001). In the multivariate analysis, treatment al ocation was an independent prognostic factor for survival. Only 60 patients in the combination group had sufficient imaging data, and 135 new lesions with lipiodol deposition were diagnosed as malignancies in 22 of 60 patients, whereas 20 new lesions were found in 11 of 148 patients in the surgery group. Conclusion:The combination of TACE and CT-guided percutaneous thermal ablation for HCC improves survival of HCC patients compared with hepatectomy.

Studies have shown that women's menopause caused by permanent cessation of ovarian function is closely related to lipid metabolism disorders. Er-xian Decoction has been used in the clinical treatment for gynecological diseases and has a good effect on diseases related to reduced sex hormone function. In this study, metabolomics was performed on bilateral ovariectomized model rats within 12 weeks after modeling to mimic the physiological state of menopausal women in different menopausal stages and Er-xian Decoction dosed model rats. The results of liver oil red O staining sections showed lipid metabolic disorder of bilateral ovariectomized model rats and the regulating effects of Er-xian Decoction. 46 potential biomarkers (6 steroid hormones, 3 sphingolipids, 11 phospholipids and 26 glycerides) in plasma and 32 potential biomarkers (1 steroid hormones, 20 phospholipids and 11 glycerides) in liver were obtained based on lipidomics analysis. Then, we analyzed the differential metabolic pathways and construct the lipid metabolism network significantly regulated by Er-xian Decoction. The results provided valuable information for in-depth understanding of the gradual changes on lipid metabolism disorders under menopausal conditions and the characteristics and mechanisms of compound Er-xian Decoction's regulatory effects. The study complied with the procedures established by the Animal Experiment Ethics Committee of the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and passed the animal experiment ethics examine (No. 00000918).

Objective: To clone hGLP-1 cDNA in the pBS SK(+/-)vector and construct the expression vector of pGEX-4T-3/hGLP-1cDNA to express GST-hGLP-1 fusion protein. Methods: The hGLP-1 cDNA was constructed by 6 synthetic oligonucleotides fragments, followed by the procedure of annealing and ligation with oligonucleotides fragments. The hGLP-1 cDNA was cloned into the pBS SK(+/-) vector, and was selected by α-complementation. It was confirmed by DNA sequening, then inserted into the MCS of the fusion expression vector pGEX-4T-3. The recombinant vector was transformed into E. coli TG1. Results: The recombinant plasmid DNA was digested with restrictive endonuclease BamHⅠand XhoⅠ. The result demonstrated that the hGLP-1 cDNA was successfully inserted into the pGEX-4T-3 vector and fusion protein GST-hGLP-1 had been expressed in SDS-PAGE. Conclusion： Expression of GST-hGLP-1 fusion protein can provide foundation for obtaining a larger quantity of recombinant hGLP-1 for experimental and clinic studies.
