Objective To investigate the role of opioid receptors in the protective effects of isoflurane-induced delayed preconditioning against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits. Methods Forty male New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2.0-2.5 kg were randomly assigned into 4 groups ( n = 10 each) : group I sham operation (S); group II I/R; group Ⅲ isoflurane + I/R (Iso) and group IV Iso + naloxone + I/R (Nal). Myocardial I/R was induced by 40 min occlusion of left anterior descending branch (LAD) of coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusion. In group Ⅲ (Iso) 2% isoflurane in 100% O2 was inhaled for 2 h and I/R was produced 24 h later. In group IV (Nal) naloxone 6 mg/kg was given iv 10 min before 2 h of 2% isoflurane inhalation and I/R was produced 24 h later. At the end of 120 min reperfusion, infarct size (IS) and area at risk (AAR) were determined by Evan's blue and TTC staining. Myocardial ultrastructure was examined by electron microscopy. The phosphorylated p38MAPK protein expression in myocardium was determined by Western blot. Results The IS was significantly smaller in group Iso ( Ⅲ ) ( 19.7% ± 2.8%) than in I/R group ( II ) (37.8% ±1.7%) (P<0.05). The phosphorylated p38MAPK protein expression in myocardium was significantly lower in group Iso than in group I/R. Microscopic examination showed less myocardial damage in Iso group than in group I/R. The protective effects of delayed preconditioning by isoflurane was prevented by naloxone pretreatment. ConclusionOpioid receptors may be involved in the protective effects of delayed preconditioning by isoflurane against myocardial I/R injury.

AIM:To investigate the effect of homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) on the viabi-lity, apoptosis and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in NRK-52E renal tubular epithelial cells induced by hypoxia and reox-ygenation (H/R). METHODS:HIPK2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was transfected into NRK-52E cells by Lipo-fectamineTM 2000, and normal control group (control group) and negative control group (HIPK2-NC group) were set up. After H/R, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, the apoptotic rate and Ca2+ fluorescence intensity were ana-lyzed by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of Ki67, cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bcl-2, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with control group, the protein expression of HIPK2 in the NRK-52E cells was significantly decreased after transfection with HIPK2 siRNA (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in H/R group were also significantly decreased, and the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with H/R group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in HIPK2-siRNA+H/R group were significantly increased, while the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence inten-sity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Inhibition of HIPK2 gene expression promotes H/R-induced growth of NRK-52E renal tubular epi-thelial cells, and reduces the apoptosis. The mechanism is related to down-regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Aim To investigate the inhibitory effects of gossypol on migration in gastric carcinoma cell lines and its mechanisms. Methods Gastric carcinoma cells were treated with gossypol at different concentra-tions. The effects of gossypol on cells proliferation were measured using the MTT assay. The migration of gas-tric carcinoma cells was detected by transwell assay. The activation of Akt/β-catenin pathway and the ex-pressions of pathway related proteins ( p-Akt,β-cate-nin, cyclin D1, MMP-2, E-cadherin and vimentin ) were detected by Western blot. Results Gossypol treatment could significantly inhibit the proliferation of gastric carcinoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. Transwell assay showed that the migration ability of
gastric carcinoma cells was significantly decreased. The inhibitory effect of gossypol on cells migration was more significant than the effect of gossypol on cells prolifera-tion. Compared with the control group, treatment with gossypol significantly suppressed the expressions of p-Akt,β-catenin, cyclin D1, MMP-2 and vimentin pro-tein, whereas the expression of E-cadherin was signifi-cantly up-regulated in gastric carcinoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion These results demonstrate that gossypol represses cell migration of gastric carcinoma cells through the down-regulation of the activity of Akt/β-catenin pathway.

BACKGROUND:There is a lack of evidence about the application of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESVTr) in frozen shoulder contracture syndrome.OBJECTIVE:To systematically assess the effectiveness of EST for frozen shoulder.METHODS:A computer-based online search of PubMed,ScienceDirect,The Cochrane Library,Embase,Web of knowledge,CNKI,WanFang and CqVip databases was performed for articles related to ESWT for frozen shoulder published before May 10,2016.Randomized controlled trials or randomized controlled crossover trials were screened.The Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software,and publication bias was assessed by Berg and Egger tests on Stata1 1.0 software.The continuous variables were expressed as standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI),and binary variables were expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% Cl.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Eleven trials were enrolled involving 816 participants.ESWT could effectively alleviate shoulder pain (P < 0.05,/2=54%).When excluded the trials of which control groups were medical interventions,the direction of the outcome did not change.ESVVT was beneficial for the participants in terms of range of motion except extension,the changes in shoulder flexion (P < 0.05,/2=28%),shoulder abduction (P < 0.000 01,/2=17%),shoulder internal rotation (P < 0.05,/2=0%),shoulder external rotation (P < 0.05,/2=43%).However,there is no evidence of the effectiveness of ESWT versus control (conventional therapy) for improving the range of shoulder extension.ESWT could increase the efficiency of treating frozen shoulder (P < 0.05,/2=0.0%) and efficacy of curing frozen shoulder (P < 0.05,/2=0.0%) compared with other interventions,and with no significant difference in the drop rate.These results indicate that ESWT can effectively alleviate the pain of frozen shoulder,expand the range of shoulder flexion,abduction,internal and external rotation,as well as improve the therapeutic efficiency and cure rate in the treatment of frozen shoulder.
