1.Progress in the study of liver ischemia reperfusion injury
International Journal of Surgery 2017;44(4):277-280
Liver ischemia reperfusion injury is a common pathophysiological process in hepatic surgery,which is the consequence of multiple mechanisms such as oxidative stress,inflammatory reaction,apoptosis,and autophagy and so on.However,the molecular mechanisms behind these processes have not been completely elucidated,the current treatment of liver I/R injury is merely supportive care,and thus new therapeutic strategies are needed.The recent studies indicate that the ischemic precondition and pharmacological precondition may protect the liver against hepatic ischemiareperfusion injury.It will be an important clinical significance of further studying its molecular mechanisms and protective strategies.

Objective To design a microarray of ~60mer oligonucleotide for detection and sub-typing of human papillomavirus (HPV). Methods The type-specific oligonucleotide probes of 4 different types of HPV (6, 11, 16, 18) were designed by using biological software Arraydesigner 2.0, which analyzed the whole genome sequences of HPV and selected optimal probes with high specificity, identical length and similar melting temperature (Tm). These probes were synthesized and printed onto the surface of glass slides in order to prepare a low-density microarray. HPV samples were labeled with fluorescence dyes Cy3 using a method of restriction display PCR (RD-PCR). HPV plasmid DNA was restricted with Sau3AⅠ to produce multiple fragments which were ligated to adaptors subsequently and used as PCR template. PCR labeling was performed with the fluorescently labeled universal primer (Cy3-UP) whose sequence is designed according to the adaptor of the RD-PCR approaches. The labeled samples were then hybridized with the oligonucleotide microarray. Results Both single and multiple HPV DNA samples could be detected with oligonucleotides microarray, and the corresponding HPV subtypes were recognized as well. And no signals were detected in all the negative and blank control spots. Conclusion 60mer oligonucleotide microarray designed by appropriate bioinformatics software can be applied to HPV detection and genotyping on gene level.

Objective To study the changes of gene and protein expressions of key components of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in myocardium of simulated weightless rats. Method Tail-suspended rats were adopted as animal model of simulated weightlessness. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to examine mRNA and protein expressions in rat myocardium, respectively. Result After 1 week tail-suspension,no obvious changes in angiotensinogen (AGT), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), 1a and 1b subtype of type 1 angiotensin Ⅱ receptor (AT 1aand AT 1b), key components of RAS in myocardium were observed. But after 4 weeks tail-suspension, the expressions of AGT mRNA and higher molecular weight band of AGT protein increased significantly (P

Objective To observe and compare the antiemetic effectiveness and adverse effects of magnetotherapy plus the 5 -hydroxytryptamine (5-HT3 ) receptor inhibitor granisetron hydrochloride with that of granisetron hydrochloride alone with chemotherapy patients. Methods Sixty-four patients were randomized to receive either granisetron hydrochloride alone ( control group: granisetron hydrochloride 3 mg intravenous infusion before chemotherapy, from the 1st day of chemotherapy until the day after the chemotherapy course was completed) or magnetotherapy plus granisetron hydrochloride ( treatment group: the same granisetron hydrochloride regimen plus rotatory magnetotherapy of 1 h/time every day after chemotherapy). The baseline characteristics of the two groups were similar. The patients' emesia was evaluated according to the WHO's criteria. The density of 5-HT, in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA). Results In terms of acute vomiting, there was no significant difference between the two groups, but in terms of tardive vomiting, the effectiveness in the treatment group was significantly better than in the control group. The densities of S-HT, in serum in the treatment and the control group were (225.32±57.29 ) ng/ml vs (213.00±53.29 ) ng/ml before chemotherapy and (273.88±5.42) ng/ml vs ( 313.17±76.36 ) ng/ml after chemotherapy, a significant difference. The rates of adverse events were 36.36% and 48.39% respectively in the treatment group and control group, a difference which was not significant. Conclusions Magnetotherapy plus granisetron hydrochloride is more effective than granisetron hydrochloride alone, and the two therapies have a synergistic effect. Adverse events didn't rise in the treatment group.

Objective To observe the effects of intrathecal injection(IT)of agonist and antagonist of cannabinoid receptor 1 on pain threshold in rat model of sciatic nerve ligation(SNL)induced neuropathic pain,and investigate the role and mechanism of CB1 in neuropathic pain. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:sham group( intrathecal normal saline,IT DMSO),SNL group(SNL+IT 30μL DMSO),AM841 group(SNL+IT 5μg AM841,dissolved in 30μL of DMSO)and AM281 group(SNL+IT 5μg AM281,dissolved in 30μL of DMSO). IT was given 3 days before surgery. Sham group only had sciatic nerve exposure but without ligation. SNL model in the other three groups were established by right sciatic nerve ligation. The thermal and mechanical thresholds were assessed by paw withdrawal latency(PWL)to radiant heat and von Frey filaments at 1,3,5,7,10 and 14 days as well as behavior after SNL. Spinal expressions of CB1 were assessed by West-ern blotting. Results Compared with the sham group,symptoms of rats in SNL group,such as heat hyperalgesia,mechanical allodynia and poste-rior paws prone to close together,were gradually appeared in the observation time points,with lower spinal proteins expression of CB1(P<0.05). AM841 group exhibited increased proteins expression of CB1 and inhibited SNL-induced heat hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia(P<0.05). AM281 group further decreased expression of CB1 and amplified the pain abnormality(P<0.05). Conclusion Spinal CB1 participates in the regulation of neuropathic pain,and exogenous cannabinoid CB1 agonists can alleviate the SNL-induced neuropathic pain.

Objective To observe the ability of inactivating human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in whole blood by visible light combination with methylene blue (MB) at different concentrations. Methods HIV-1 was used as the test virus. The contaminated blood was treated by MB, visible light (640 nm), combined with MB and visible light (640 nm). The test of MT4 cell infection was used to evaluate the virus inactivation efficacy. Results After being treated by MB at the concentrations of 5, 10, and 15 ?mol/L, and then irradiated respectively by visible light (40 000 Lux, 640 nm) for 30, 20, and 10 min, all the added indicated virus at the titer of 10 5.78 TCID 50 of HIV-1 could be inactivated absolutely. Conclusion Methylene blue photochemical method can inactivate HIV-1 in blood effectively.

Objective To discuss the CT features and pathologic basis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. Methods Total 19 cases were confirmed by ELISA and IHA of antibody of echinococcosis. A part of them were confirmed by pathalogy. Results The main features of the disease were irregular,obscure contour and heterogeneous density with mainly hypodense in the liver. Almost of all accompanied with calcification. The calcification was showed some certainly signification. No contrast enhancement was observed within the lesions after administration of intravenous contrast medium. There were three type of this disease based on CT features including map type, halo type and pseudocystic type. Conclusion CT scanning has value of not only for diagnosis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis but also useful to display each complications and metastasis.

Serum adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) was raised in metabolic syndrome (MS)patients (n= 121) as compared with age-matched healthy subjects [n = 120, (14.7±4.8 vs 6.8 ±3. 0) μg/L,P<0.001]. It reached higher level in MS subjects with visceral obesity [(15.7±4.2 vs 12.6±5.1) μg/L, P<0.001]. Serum A-FABP concentration was positively correlated with body mass index, waist circumference, waist-tohip ratio, fasting insulin, homeostasis assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), fasting glucose, triglycerides,total cholesterol,and mean arterial blood pressure, whereas negatively correlated with HDL-C (r =-0. 448, P< 0.001).
