Objective To study the effect of Sirtuin1 (Sirt1) on the pathological process through its activity of deacetylation to improve the clinical outcome of acute sepsis. After searching data base, microRNA-211 (miR-211) was found to have action potentially targeting at Sirt1.The present study aimed to find the interaction between miR-211 and Sirt1 in the pathogenesis of hypoxic injury to cardiomyocytes in the presence of lipopolysaccharide ( LPS ) . Methods Primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes ( NRC ) isolated from neonatal SD rats and H9c2 ( cardiomyocytes after culture with 10% fetal serum of cattle and DMEM under 37 ℃ and 5% CO2 ) cell line were used in the experiments.The miR-211 expression was quantified by qRT-PCR after LPS exposure for 4 hours, and the changes in Sirt1 protein level were also detected in both NRC and H9c2 by western blot.At the same time, CCK-8 assay and TUNEL staining were also performed to measure cell proliferation and apoptosis activation when either treated with LPS alone or followed by exposure to hypoxia.Results Compared to the control group, the doses of 20μg/mL, 40μg/mL LPS treatment for 4 hours had no significant effects on H9c2 cell proliferation at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, but it could significantly induce the cell apoptosis of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and H9c2 cells after hypoxia, and the apoptosis rate increased all over 100% in both NRC and H9c2.At the same time, LPS treatment could significant up-regulate miR-211 expression which was closely associated with decrease in Sirt1 protein levels.Conclusions LPS enhanced cardiomyocytes injury after exposure to hypoxia which was closely associated with up-regulating miR-211 expression and in turn to suppress Sirt1 expression.

Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drpl) is a major protein for regulating mitochondrial fission.Its activity is associated with the post-translational modification,mainly including phosphorylation,ubiquitination,sumoylation,and S-nitrosylation.During the cerebral ischemia,Drpl is activated and translocates from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial outer membrane,mediates mitochondrial fission and eliminates damaged mitochondria.Drpl plays the important roles in the pathological processes of ischemic neuronal apoptosis,necrotic apoptosis,and mitophagy.Excessive mitochondria fission or accumulation of damaged mitochondria will aggravate neuronal injury.

Objective To improve the accuracy of diagnosis and differential diagnosis of nonossifying fibroma (NOF) by comparing with the image features of X-ray and CT and pathological characteristics,Methods The images of X-ray and CT of 28 patients underwent surgery and pathological confirmed NOF were studied retrospectively.Results NOF often occurred in the metaphysis of long bone or backbone with mild clinical symptoms.Eighteen lesions occurred in tibia,9 in femur and 1 in humerus.In 19 cortical cases,there was a single room or multiple rooms translucent zone in cortex or subcortex with dense surrounding.In 9 medullary cases,lesions as a single room or multiple rooms ranslucent zone with dense surrounding developed in the central area of the bone with thinning corex slightly bulg ed to periphery.Conclusion The images of NOF have some characteristic.X-ray and CT are very useful tools in diagnosis of NOF.Thin layer scanning and multiplanar reconstruction of multi-layers spiral CT can more clearly show the imaging features of NOF.

Objective To evaluate accurately the cardiac output, an early post-operative indicator for the cardiac function, after cardiac surgery in the neonates with congenital heart diseases and assess the risk factors for surgery, with an aim at exploring the early strategy for decressing the mortality. Methods From January 2007 to November 2007, forty-seven consec-utive neonates with complex congenital heart diseases underwent surgical correction at Shanghai Children's medical center.There were 38 boys and 9 girls with age from 3 days to 29 days [mean age (21.98 +8.15) days] and weight from 2.6 kg to 4.2 kg [ mean (3.49±0.51 ) kg]. 15 patients had delayed sternal clousure. The operations were performed with hypothermia, deep hypothermia low flow, or deep hypothermia circulatory arrest techniques. Cardiac index (CI) was derived from pulse contour analysis and calculated with the PiCCO plus system. Meanwhile, serum cardiac troponin I ( cTnl), mixed venous oxygen saturation ( SvO_2 ) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time were measured. Finally, the risk factors for surgical treatment in survivors and that associated with an increased mortality were analyzed. The association between post-operative cardiac output and the death after surgery was examined. Results Four neonates died after surgery, with a surgical mortality of 8.5%. CIvalue in the neonates [ (2.0±0.3 ) liters per minute per square meter of body surface was less than normal 2.5±0. 3. CI was associated inversely with CPB time but had a positive correlation with SvO_2. No significant difference association between CI and cTnI was observed. The value of cTnl was associated with the type of surgical procedures. Cases for which DHCA and low flow cerebral pefusion technique were used were free from neurological complications, ischemia in the lower extremities and oli-guria. The duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, urgent state of the operation and the abnormal coronary artery were associated with high mortality in the neonates after cardiac surgery. Conclusion The cardiac output of the neonates in whom cardiac pro-cedures were performed is adequate for the the oxygen supply required by the whole body though it is slightly lower than nomad after cardiac surgery. Higher mortality in the neonates during early postoperative period may be due to the complexity of the primary diseases, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, residual abnormalities and severe acidosis before operation. Various techniques for CPB and that for the myocardial protection are safe and can provide an appropriate operative field.

Objective To observe the effects of differentiation of mature islet cells of mice on marrowmesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs). To provide transplant source for islet cell transplantation in the treatment of diabetes. Methods The culture, isolation and passage of mMSCs was performed by using patch wall, cell shape was observed by confocal microscope, and flow cytometry analysis was used to determine their biological characteristics. The type Ⅳ collagenase was injected into common bile duct to digest the pancreas, and then gradient centrifugation was used to isolate islet cells. The transwell co-culture system was used for third generation of mMSCs and isolated islet cells, then inversion microscope was used to observe the cell growth and morphological changes, immunochemistry methods was applied to detect the expression of insulin in mMSCs, and insulin release test was performed to determine the secretion of insulin. The control group consisted of cultured mMSCs alone. Results The cells from mouse bone marrow were found to be in long spindle shape with large volume after 48 hours in culture. One week later the cells grew in the form of colony with serial subcultivation. The cell surface molecules including Sca-l, CD29, CD44, CD105 were positive with high level of expression;while the cell surface molecules including CD34, CD45 were negative, all of these results confirmed that the ceils were mMSCs. After 7 days of coculture with mice islet cells, part of mMSCs cells were positively stained by insulin immunohistochemisty, the insulin secretion was (16.83±0. 15)μIU/ml.Conclusions After cocultured with islet cells, mMSCs isolated from mouse bone marrow could differentiate into islet like cells. These cells may be used in the islet cells transplantation in the treatment of diabetes, which provided a solution to the problems of donor-shortage and immunologic rejection.
