Programmed cell death(PCD)of human leukemic HL-60 cell and human poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma cell BGS-180 induced by efoposid(VP-16) was preliminarily observed comparatively in the same experimental condition through rate of cell death, DNA agarose gels electrophoresis and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(TdT) mediated biotin-11-dUTP nickend labeling(TUNEL).It was found that apoptosis is the main pattern of HL-60 cell death induced by low does VP-16 in a short time, and it can be suppressed when protein kinase C(PKC) is activated. The main pattern of BGS-180 cell death induced by VP-16 is necrosis, and PCK activation does not affect its necrosis rate. Extracellular Ca2+ reduction do not affect BGS-180 and HL-60 cell death rate. The mechanism of VP-16 action on BGS-180 and HL-60 cell is different, apoptosis is not the main pattern of cell BGS-180 death induced by VP-16.

Objective To retrospectively analyse the factors related to the risk of malignant change in relation with various colorectal polyps. Methods Data on a total of 820 patients (900 polyps), who had undergone polypectomy between 1997 and 2001 were collected. The relation between colorectal cancer and polyps characteristics was assessed by Logistic Regression and Chi square. Results The risk of malignant change was significantly related with the size of polyps, histology of polyps, grade of dysplasia, pathological changes of mucosa, sessile or pedunculated polyps. Conclusion High grade dysplasia, large size, adenoma, absence of a stalk, and ulcerous mucosa were confirmed as the major predictors. The likelihood of malignant degeneration of colorectal polyps seemed to be correlated with the number of the above mentioned risk factors present

Objective To analyze endoscopic histological characters and establish diagnostic standards of colorectal polyps with confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) examination and to explore the diagnostic value of the CLE in adenomatous polyps and non-adenomatous polyps. Methods From June to December in 2009, 90 patients were recruited in this study, which included 40 pathologically confirmed colorectal polyps patients (total 48 colon and rectal polyps) and 50 patients for prospective study (total 106 colon rectal polyps). At same time 10 spots of normal mucosa was taken for comparison. Firstly the CLE images of 48 pathologically confirmed colorectal polyps (22 adenomatous polyps and 26 non-adenomatous polyps) were analyzed, and the diagnosis criteria for distinguishing adenomatous polyps and non-adenomatous polyps was established with CLE. Then according to the criteria, 106 colorectal polyps underwent prospective diagnosis with CLE. Finally, the CLE diagnosis result was compared with pathologically result to evaluate the diagnosis efficiency of CLE. Results In the 48 colorectal polyps of 40 pathologically confirmed colorectal polyps patients, there were 22 adenomatous polyps and 26 non-adenomatous polyps. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CLE in adenomatous polyps diagnosis were 94. 0%, 92. 9%, and 93. 4%, respectively. The positive predictive value was 92.2% and the negative predictive value was 94.5%. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CLE in non-adenomatous polyps diagnosis were 92. 9%, 94.0%, and 93. 4%respectively, the positive predictive value was 94.5% and the negative predictive value was 92.2%.The coherence of CLE and histopathology in adenomatous polyps diagnosis was pretty good (Kappa=0. 893). Conclusion The accuracy of CLE in adenomatous polyps and non-adenomatous polyps differential diagnosis was high, and the coherence with histopathology diagnosis was good, which provided experience for further detection of early rectal precancerous.

Objective To construct the recombinant RIP3 over-expressed plasmids and transfect them in breast cancer MCF7 cells, and identify the expression and localization of fusion protein, as well as its effect on the death way of MCF7 cells. Methods The expression levels of RIP3 mRNA in four breast cancer cell lines and normal mammary epithelial cells were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The RIP 3 coding sequence was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and subcloned into mCherry vector to construct recombinant plasmids. The plasmids were transfected into MCF7 cells by lentivirus after DNA sequencing, then screened by basticidin (4 mg/L) for 1 week. The efficiencies of RIP3 expression were validated by Western blotting assay. The death way of mCherry-RIP3-MCF7 cells was observed under the treatment of TNF-αand Z-VAD-FMK. Results The lowest expression of RIP3 mRNA was found in MCF7 cells. The sequencing results validated the well recombinant plasmids. The expression of mCherry-RIP3 fusion pro-tein with a molecular weight of 85 ku was detected by Western blot assay. The mCherry-RIP3 expression enhanced the sensi-tivity of MCF7 cells to TNF-αand Z-VAD-FMK induced cell death. Conclusion The recombinant RIP3 over-expressed plasmids were successfully constructed, and the stable MCF7 cells with ectopic RIP3 transfection were obtained. The mCher-ry-RIP3 fusion protein was expressed in the cytoplasm and was conformed to mediate TNF-αinduced necroptosis.

Objective:To investigate ulinastatin (UTI) combined with Xingnaojing injection in the treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage (ACH) and its effect on the serum high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP),D-dimer (D-D) and neuron specific enolase(NSE) levels.Methods:110 cases of ACH patients admitted in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method.The control group was given UTI treatment,while the observation group was given UTI combined with Xingnaojing treatment.Then the brain edema absorption effect,NIHSS score,serum hs-CRP,D-D and NSE levels before and after the treatment of the two groups were recorded and compared;the safety ofmedicidstion of the two groups was evaluated.Results:At the 14th day after treatment,the total effective rate of cerebral hematoma absorption in the observation group was 89.1％,which was significantly higher than 67.3％ of the control group (P＜0.01).At the 14th day after treatment,the NIHSS scores of both groups were significantly lower than those before the treatment (P＜0.01);compared with that of the control group of the same time period,at the 14th day after treatment,the improvement effect of NIHSS score in the observation group was more significant (P＜0.01).Compared with those before the treatment,the serum hs-CRP,D-D and NSE levels of both groups at the 14th day after treatment were significantly decreased (P＜0.01);at the 14th day after treatment,the serum indicators of the observation group improved more significantly than those of the control group (P＜0.01).The incidence rate of adverse reaction in the observation group was 3.6％ compared with 5.5％ of the control group (P＞0.05).Conclusion:Ulinastatin combined with Xingnaojing Injection could rapidly relieve or eliminate hematoma in the treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage,control the inflammatory response,improve the blood coagulation system and fibrinolytic system,protect the nerve cells and reduce the neurological damagee.

AIM:To investigate the effect of microRNA-429 (miR-429) on the expression of occludin (Ocln) in intestinal epithelial cells ( IECs) and intestinal epithelial barrier function in diabetic mice.METHODS:Diabetes mel-litus mouse model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin.The expression of miR-429 in IECs of diabetic mice was inhibited by antagomiRNA-429 injected via tail vein.The expression of miR-429 and mRNA expression of Ocln were detected by real-time PCR.The protein expression of Ocln was determined by Western blotting and immunohistochem-istry.The urinary lactulose/mannitol ratio was measured by gas chromatography.The plasma LPS concentrations in the mice were measured by chromogenic end-point TAL kit.RESULTS:The results of real-time PCR confirmed that the ex-pression of miR-429 in IECs of diabetic mice was remarkably inhibited by tail-vein administration of antagomiRNA-429, and resumed to similar level of normal mice on the 6th day after the administration.After suppressing the level of miR-429, the expression of Ocln in IECs of diabetic mice increased significantly (P<0.05), while the urinary lactulose/mannitol ra-tio and the plasma LPS concentration decreased obviously ( P<0.05 ) .CONCLUSION:AntagomiRNA-429 effectively suppresses miR-429 expression in IECs of diabetic mice, and then enhances the expression of Ocln and partially resumes the intestinal epithelial barrier function.
