This study was aimed to optimize the hydrolysis conditions of Coix prolamin, which occupied the highest content in total protein of it, and then evaluate the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of the corresponding hydrolysates. Pepsin was used to hydrolyze prolamin and OPA method was applied to determine the degree of hydrolysis. The optimum conditions of hydrolyzing prolamin were obtained by orthogonal design subse-quently. The ACE inhibitory activity of small molecular weight (less than 3 kD) peptides gained by ultrafiltration of the hydrolysates was assayed by RP-HPLC method. The result showed that the optimized hydrolysis conditions were substrate concentration of 1%, enzyme-to-substrate ratio of 1:5 and hydrolysis duration for 48 h. The hydrolysates exhibited an ACE inhibitory ratio of (83.40 ± 0.93)% at the concentration of 0.1 mg·mL-1. It was concluded that prolamin hydrolysates displayed a high ACE inhibitory activity in vitro, which provided guidance for further research of antihypertensive component and development of functional food from Coix.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of intra-abdominal exposure instruments in laparoendoscopic single-port nephrectomy(LESS-N).Method From February 2012 to July 2016,61 cases of LESS-N were performed in our center.There were 34 males and 27 females with a mean age of (60.3 ± 9.4) years old (ranging 36-72 years old).There were thirty-nine cases of renal tumors and twenty two cases of nonfunctioning kidney.The patients were divided into two groups.Group A included 39 cases that underwent conventional LESS-N (22 radical nephrectomy/17 simple nephrectomy).Group B included 22 cases that underwent intra-abdominal exposure instruments assisted LESS-N (17 radical nephrectomy/5 simple nephrectomy).The perioperative and postoperative data were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Results All the procedures of these two groups were completed successfully.In Group A,four patients were added one 5 cm additional trocar and two patients were converted to open surgery.No additional trocars or conversion to open surgery were needed in Group B.For LESS radical nephrectomy,there were no significant differences of mean tumor diameter (5.7cm vs.5.4 cm,P =0.65) between two groups.The average operative time was (95.1 ± 43.9) min in Group B which was lower than that in Group A (127.4 ± 61.9) min (P ＜ 0.01).The mean renal vascular processing time was declined from (25.4 ± 10.1)rmin in Group A to (18.8 ± 8.9)min in Group B (P ＜ 0.05).The mean estimated blood loss was (128.6 ± 51.1) ml in Group A and (98.7 ±-57.6) ml in Group B (P ＜ 0.05).No severe intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred in both group.Conclusions Intra-abdominal exposure instruments are feasible and effective for LESS-N.This system may shorten the operation time,reduce the amount of bleeding and improve surgical accuracy.

Objective:To investigate the effects of esketamine on the behavior of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD).Methods:Thirty-six adult male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups. The mouse craniocerebral trauma model was established by cortical impact injury method. The Sham group ( n=12) only opened the bone window without craniocerebral trauma. The TBI group( n=12) and the TBI+ ES group( n=12) were subjected to cortical trauma; Immediately after trauma, the TBI+ ES group was intraperitoneally injected with esmketamine (10 mg/kg, once every two hours, three times in total), and the TBI group and Sham group were intraperitoneally injected with equal volume 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The results of sugar water preference test, open field test on day 16 and elevated cross maze test on day 17 were collected to analyze PTSD like behavior changes, and Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability of rats in each group from day 18 to 23 after craniocerebral trauma. After the experiment, the rats were euthanized and the brain tissues were taken. The expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), synaptic protein PSD95 and synaptophysin (Syp) were analyzed by Western blot. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s). One way ANOVA was used for multi group comparison, SNK- q test was used for post pairwise comparison, and LSD method was used for repeated measurement data. Results:In the TBI group, the preference rate of sugar water, the number of moving grids, the number of standing upright, the residence time of open arm, the number of open arm entry, the escape latency and the number of crossing platform [(75.8±4.9)%, (30.9±4.1) grids, (12.4±2.6) times, (40.3±8.5) s, (6.8±2.3) times, (30.0±4.6) s and (7.0±2.5) times] were significantly lower than Sham group [(85.3±4.4)%, (40.5±5.4) grid, (17.3±2.7) times, (95.8±12.4) s, (15.3±3.1) times, (18.3±7.8) s, (15.7±2.6) times] ( P< 0.05); In TBI+ ES group, the sugar water preference rate, the number of moving grids, the number of upright times, the time of open arm stay, the number of open arm entry, the number of escape latency and the number of crossing platform position [(82.9±5.5)%, (35.5±5.5) grids, (15.1±2.4) times, (68.4±9.7) s, (12.1±3.2) times, (22.3±8.8) s and (12.5±4.1) times] were significantly higher than those in TBI group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of BDNF, PSD95 and Syp in TBI+ ES Group [0.43±0.08), (0.22±0.02), (0.31±0.04)] were higher than those in TBI group [0.19±0.02), (0.20±0.02), (0.24±0.01)], the difference was significant ( P<0.05), and they were lower than those in Sham group [0.89±0.11), (0.45±0.12), (0.57±0.15)], and the difference was significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Esticketamine significantly reduce PTSD-like behavior in TBI rats and play a neuroprotective role, which may be a potential medicinefor PTSD treatment.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of circular RNA containing pleckstrin homology do-main of Pleckstrin homology domain family M member 3(circRNA_PLEKHM3)in regulating epithelial-mesenchy-mal transition(EMT)behavior in cervical cancer cells through the miR-320 and KLF4.Methods The expression levels of circRNA_PLEKHM3 in cervical cancer cells Hela and CaSki were detected by real-time quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR).RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to determine the localization of circRNA_PLEKHM3 in human cervical cancer epithelial cells CaSki.Dual luciferase reporter gene experiments were conducted to inves-tigate the targeting relationship between circRNA_PLEKHM3 and miR-320,as well as the targeting relationship be-tween miR-320 and KLF4.CaSki cells were overexpressed with circRNA_PLEKHM3.Additionally,three groups were set up:overexpression of miR-320 on the basis of circRNA_PLEKHM3 overexpression,silencing of KLF4 on the basis of circRNA_PLEKHM3 overexpression,and silencing of KLF4 on the basis of miR-320 overexpression.qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression levels of miR-320 in CaSki.Western blot experiments were con-ducted to determine the expression of KLF4 and EMT markers including E-cadherin,N-cadherin,Vimentin,MMP-2,and MMP-9 in CaSki cells.Transwell assays were performed to measure cell migration and invasion.Results The expression of circRNA_PLEKHM3 decreased in Hela and CaSki cells(P<0.05),mainly localized in the cy-toplasm.The dual luciferase reporter gene experiment demonstrated a targeting relationship between miR-320 and circRNA_PLEKHM3,as well as between KLF4 and miR-320.Overexpression of circRNA_PLEKHM3 inhibited the protein expression of miR-320,N-cadherin,Vimentin,MMP-2,and MMP-9,up-regulated the protein expression of E-cadherin,and reduced cell migration and invasion(P<0.05).Overexpression of miR-320 or silencing of KLF4 on the basis of circRNA_PLEKHM3 overexpression both promoted the protein expression of miR-320,N-cad-herin,Vimentin,MMP-2,and MMP-9,down-regulated the protein expression of E-cadherin,and increased cell migration and invasion(P<0.05).However,silencing of KLF4 on the basis of miR-320 overexpression inhibited the protein expression of KLF4,N-cadherin,Vimentin,MMP-2,and MMP-9,up-regulated the protein expression of E-cadherin,and reduced cell migration and invasion(P<0.05).Conclusion Overexpression of circRNA_PLEKHM3 regulates EMT in cervical cancer cells through the miR-320/KLF4 axis.
