Objective To investigate the effects of exercises on expressions of retinol binding protein-4 (RBP4)in serum and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K)in skeletal muscles of insulin-resistant(IR)rats induced by diets.Methods A total of 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal control group fed with normal diet,IR and exercises groups with high sugar and high fat diet.After 8 weeks,the Wistar rats in exercises group took swimming training for 6 weeks and all groups kept their assigned diets.At the end of 14-week experiment,the body weight(BW)of rats were measured,the general behaviors of rats were observed and then sacrificed.Rats' blood were sampled for measuring the levels of glucose(FPC)and serum RBP4,insulin(FINS),HDL-C,LDL-C,TG,TC.The indexes of IR(HOMA-IR)were calculated.The levels of RBP4 in serum were measured with ELISA technique.The ratios of visceral fat content to BW were calculated too.Immunohistochemistry method was applied to detect the expression levels of PI3K in skeletal muscle.Results(1)The levels of RBP4,TC,TG,FPG in serum in exercises group were lower than those in IR group significantly;the visceral fat content,ratio of visceral fat content to BW,FINS,RBP4,LDL and HOMA-IR in serum increased significantly in IR group after 6 weeks feeding compared with normal control group and exercises group(P＜0.01);the levels of HDL in serum in IR group were lower than those in the other two groups.(2)The expression levels of PI3K in skeletal muscles in exercises group were significantly higher than that in IR group(P＜0.01).(3)In a multiple stepwise regression analysis,FINS,ratio of visceral fat content to BW,LDL and HOMA-IR were correlated with RBP4 positively;HDL and PI3K were correlated with RBP4 negatively.Conclusion Exercises could downregulate the level of RBP4 in serum and upregulate the level of PI3K in skeletal muscles of IR rats.This effect was important for improving the organism sensibility to insulin.

Translational medicine, characterized by multi-disciplinary cooperation, is a new research area focusing on patients. Although translational medicine is still in its early stages in China, it has attracted increasing attention. To apply translational medicine, it is essential to implement the principles and methods of systematic biology to break the inherent barriers between basic and clinical science. Moreover, it is important to update research ideas, strengthen the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and construct public library research resources and exchange platforms.

Fresh hepatocarcinoma tissue and spleen samples were taken from patients during surgery. B cells from spleen were purified and activated. The hepatocarcinoma vaccine was made by cell fusion between hepatic tumor cells and activated B cells. PEG was used as the fusion agent. The fusion cells were cultured and deactivated. MHC Ⅱ and B7 molecules on activated B cells were determined by flow cytometry. Fusion rate and recovery rate of cells after refrigeration were determined respectively at the same time. The results showed that MHC Ⅱ and B7 molecules on the activated B cells were enhanced comparing with B cell. The fusion rates of three cases were 66 84%, 74 43%, and 76 55%, respectively. The recovery rates of cells were 95% and 97% after DMSO and glycerol refrigeration, respectively. The results suggest that the hepatocarcinoma vaccine owns high fusion rate and recovery rate of cells after refrigeration. It's easy to make and store. So the hepatocarcinoma vaccine is suitable for clinical use.

Objective To observe the expression of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) in insulin resistant (IR) rats and the role of pioglitazone intervention. MethodsThirty-five male Wistar rats in SPF level were randomly divided into control fed with normal diet (n= 11 ) and IR model fed with high fat sucrose diet (HFSD) (n= 24). The IR rats were then randomly divided into two subgroups, namely IR fed with HFSD(n = 12) and pioglitazone intervention (n= 12) given a daily dose of 20 mg · kg 1 · d-1 pioglitazone and HFSD (IR +Pio group )for 8 weeks.All rats were killed after 16 weeks and the levels of serum TG, high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), fasting blood-glucose (FBG), fasting serum insulin (FIns) and insulin resistance index (HOME-1R) were measured.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and RT-PCR were employed to detect the level of serum RBP4 and the mRNA expression of RBP4 in the epididymis adipose tissues, respectively. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression of PI3K in skeletal muscles while UV spectrophotometer was employed to measure level of serum AOPP. The ratio of visceral fat weight of mesentery, epididymis and peritoneum in abdominal cavity to body weight (BW) was calculated. Results(1) the level of BW, TG, LDL-C, FINS and the ratio of visceral fat weight to BW were higher in IR group than in control group, but HDL-C decreased significantly. After the intervention of pioglitazone, the level of BW,TG, LDL-C, FINS, and the ratio of visceral fat weight to BW in IR+Pio group were lower and HDL-C increased significantly than those in IR group.(2) The level of RBP4 from serum and epididymis adipose and serum AOPP were higher in IR group than in control and lower significantly in IR+Pio group than in IR group (all P＜0.05). (3) The expression of PI3K in skeletal muscles were lower in IR group than in NC group, and increased after the invention of pioglitazone. (4) FIns, the ratio of visceral fat weight to BW and LDL-C were positively correlated with RBP4 while HDL-C and PI3K negatively correlated with RBP4. Conclusions(1) The increased RBP4 can lead to metabolic disturbances and oxidative stress in IR rats.(2) RBP4 may decrease the insulin sensibility by weakening insulin signal transduction. (3) Pioglitazone can ameliorate insulin resistance by decreasing the level of RBP4 and serum AOPP and increasing the level of PI3K in skeletal muscles of IR rats.

BACKGROUND:Valgus knee deformity is rare in the clinic. The therapeutic effects of artificial knee arthroplasty are worse than varus knee deformity. There is no unified opinion for replacement approach, soft tissue release method and procedure and prosthetic choice at present.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize case data and to observe clinical effects of total knee arthroplasty for valgus knee deformity.
METHODS:Clinical data of 37 cases of valgus knee deformity (42 knees) undergoing total knee arthroplasty, who were treated by the same group of physicians in the First Department of Orthopedics, Gansu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2010 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males (13 knees) and 26 females (29 knees), at the age from 56 to 78 years, with an average age of 63.7 years. The differences in range of motion, femorotibial angle and Hospital for Special Surgery knee score were compared before and after replacement. Clinical effects of total knee arthroplasty for valgus knee deformity were evaluated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The postoperative fol ow-up lasted from 6 to 36 months. Knee joint range of motion increased from preoperative 68.5° to an average of postoperative 108.5°. Femorotibial angle reduced from preoperative 16.82° to postoperative 5.62° on average. The average Hospital for Special Surgery knee score increased from preoperative 39 points to postoperative 88 points (P<0.05). These results suggested that the curative effect of total knee arthroplasty for valgus knee deformity is proved. Total knee arthroplasty is an effective way to improve deformity.
