Objective To study the mechanism of multicellular drug resistance of pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line A549 mediated by cell-cell adhesion. Methods We compared the sensitivity of monolayer cells (MCs) to adriamycin (ADM) with that of multicellular spheroids (MCSs) which was employed as a three dimensional cell culture model. Transmission electron microscopy was applied to observe the cellular ultrastructure. Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Bax expression levels were detected by flow cytometry and indirect immunofluorescent staining. Results Compared with MCs, MCSs had more than two layers of cells, more extensive and compact cell adhesion, and inlay junctions were found within them. MCSs were more resistant to ADM. At the same time, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL expressions in MCSs were much higher. After treatment with ADM, expressions Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL increased markedly in MCSs. Conclusion MCSs could simulate the solid tumors in vivo and has multicellular drug resistance mediated by cell-cell adhesion. The possible mechanisms may be associated with the upregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL.

Objective To explore an optimal model of three dimensional in vitro cell culture for simulating solid tumors in vivo . Methods The model of three dimensional cell culture was constructed under the conditions of inhibiting the cell wall attachment and stirring the medium. Multicellular spheroids (MCS) were cultured using microcarriers (CutiSpher). Drug sensitivity of monolayer cells (MC) and MCS was tested by MTT staining and cytometry, respectively. Ultrastructures of the MC and MCS were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results Cells in three dimensional cell culture model without microcarriers were compacted into mass at 4 d while cells in MCS were found to attach to the microcarriers at 0.5 h. MCS had more than two layers of cells growing within it at 5 d. Compared with MC, MCS was more resistant to the anticancer drug, and had more plenty of organell and microvilli with more extensive and compact cell adhesion. Conclusion MCS has strong developmental properties and can simulate the cell cell interactions in vivo , especially cell adhesion, which may contribute to the drug resistance of MCS.

Objective To explore the association between waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and dyslipidemia in Chinese adults and to find out an optimal threshold of WHtR for predicting dyslipidemia.Methods A total of 221 270 adults from 4 health checkup centers nationwide were selected by using cluster random sampling method.Height,body weight,waist circumference (WC),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) were measured.Body mass index (BMI) and WHtR were then calculated.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC) was analyzed and optimal cutoffs were estimated by maximizing the sums of sensitivity and specificity.Results WHtR showed the largest AUCs in the participants with higher TC,TG and LDL-C,followed by increased WC and BMI.In male and female,the optimal thresholds of WHtR,WC and BMI for predicting dyslipidemia were 0.49-0.50 and 0.47-0.49,83-85and 73-76 cm,and 24-25 and 22-23 kg/m2,respectively.Conclusion WHtR may be superior to WC and BMI for predicting dyslipidemia,and an unisex cutoff of 0.5 should be recommended.

Objective To investigate the change of Na+ /dicarboxylate cotransporter (SDCT) 1 expression in renal tissues of rats with nephrolithiasis induced by ethylene glycol (EG) and the mechanism of potassium citrate prevention. Methods Male Wistar rats were divided into control, nephrolithiasis and potassium citrate treated groups. Calcium oxalate crystal deposition and histological changes in kidney were examined by anatomical and light microscope. The plasma and urinary biochemical parameters, such as citrate, oxalate etc., were analyzed by routine biochemical method. The expression of SDCT1 mRNA in kidneys was determined by Northern blot, and the change of SDCT1 protein abundance was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results On day 3, the animals in the nephrolithiasis group had a higher level of SDCT1 mRNA and protein abundance in kidneys, as well as a lower level of citrate in the urine when compared with the control group. However none of the rats in this group had obviously calcium oxalate crystal deposition in kidneys. On day 7 and 14, the expression of SDCT1 mRNA and protein abundance were shown further increase, when the urinary citrate concentration was decreased progressively, and 87. 5% to 100% of the rats in this group displayed a large quantity of calcium crystal deposition in the kidney. In the potassium citrate treated group, both the expression of SDCT1 mRNA and protein abundance were shown almost complete inhibited during the whole experiment time, meanwhile the urinary citrate level was significantly elevated with time; furthermore, the occurrence of the renal crystal deposition decreased to 37. 5% on day 14, and the pathologic changes such as tubular dilation and inflammatory cells infiltration were shown to be alleviated. Conclusions The upregulation of SDCT1 mRNA and protein abundance in kidney has a close relationship with hypocitraturia, which may play an important role in the development of nephroliathisis. The treatment with potassium citrate has a beneficial effect on the experimental nephrolithiasis rats through inhibiting the expression of SDCT1 in the renal tissue.

Objective: To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on oxidative stress and systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods: Totally 62 patients scheduled for mitral valve replacement surgery were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to DEX group with constant infusion of DEX (0.5 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 , n =31) and the control group with the same amount of 0.9% sodium chloride injection(n =31).A volume of 4 ml of jugular vein blood was respectively withdrawn before the induction of anesthesia (T0), at 10 min after aortic-off clamping(T1), the end of bypass(T2), 4h after bypass(T3),12h after bypass(T4) and 24h after bypass(T5).The serum C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8) and interleukin-10(IL-10) were determined.Results: The serum CRP in both groups increased remarkably at T1-T5 , while the serum CRP in DEX group was significantly lower than those in the control group at T3-T5.The serum TNF-α increased remarkably in control group at T2-T4, while the serum TNF-α increased remarkably in DEX group at T2-T3;the serum TNF-α in DEX group was significantly lower than those in the control group at T3-T4.The serum IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 in both groups were increased remarkably at T2-T5, T1-T5,T1-T3, respectively.The serum IL-6 and IL-8 in the DEX group were significantly lower than those in the control group at T2-T4 while the serum IL-10 in the DEX group was significantly higher than that in the control group at T1-T3.The serum WBC in both groups at T3-T5 were higher than those at T0, while the serum WBC in the control group was significantly higher than that in the DEX group at T3-T5.However, the differences between the two groups at mechanical ventilation time, ICU observation time, the incidence of postoperative SIRS after 24h, hospitalization days, and the adverse reactions were not statistically significant.Conclusion: DEX has notable protective effects on systemic inflammatory response syndrome during extracorporeal circulation.
