Journal of China Medical University 2017;46(3):248-250
Objective To evaluate the significance of serum interleukin-17(IL-17)and matrix metalloproteinase-7(MMP-7)in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods A total of 52 patients with HCC(HCC group),32 patients with liver cirrhosis(LC group)and 36 healthy controls(control group)were enrolled for the study,and all samples were collected from The First Hospital of China Medical University. Serum levels of IL-17 and MMP-7 were determined using ELISA method. The diagnostic performance and their correlation was evaluated. Re-sults Serum levels of IL-17 and MMP-7 in HCC group were significantly higher than those in LC group(all P<0.001)and control group(all P<0.001). Both of them in LC group were higher than control group(all P<0.05). The area under ROC of serum IL-17 and MMP-7 were 0.901 (95%CI:0.847-0.954)and 0.845(95%CI:0.772-0.918). The sensitivity of serum IL-17 and MMP-7 in the diagnosis of HCC was 90.4%and 86.5%,respectively,and the specificity of the same markers was 77.9%and 76.5%,respectively. Combined detection of the two markers improved sensitivity to 98.7%and specificity to 94.8%. Serum IL-17 was positively correlated to MMP-7(r=0.513,P<0.01). Conclusion IL-17 and MMP-7 are involved in the progress of HCC,and serum IL-17 and MMP-7 may be useful markers in the diagnosis of HCC.

Objective:To investigate the effect of gegenqinlian on serum TNF-αlevel in rats with chronic periodontitis and athero-sclerotic.Methods:40 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group(N,n =10)and model group(D,n =30).After model establishment and identfication the rats in model group were divided into D1,D2,D3,D4 and D5 groups(n =5) and were administered with saline,metronidazole,atorvastatin,metronidazole combined with atorvastatin and gegenqinlian respec-tively for 4 weeks.Periodontal indexes(PD and AL)were measured,the maximum intima-media thickness of abdominal aorta(IMT) was pathologically examined,TNF-αlevel was detected by ELISA.Results:After treatment PD,AL and serum TNF-αlevels in D2,D3,D4 and D5 groups were significantly lower than those in D1 group(P <0.05),There was no difference of lipid and TNF-αlevels between D4 and D5 groups(P >0.05).Conclusion:Gegenqinlian can reduce serum level of TNF-αin rats,suggesting that the drug is effective in the treatment of periodontitis with atherosclerosis.
4.Directed forgetting effect to disease/death-related words in elder people
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2017;31(6):480-484
Objective:To explore the directed forgetting ability of elder people to disease/death-related words under the conditions of the neutral and negative emotion.Methods:Thirty-six elder people and thirty-seven young people were included in this study.The directed forgetting effects to disease/death-related words were compared by using item-method directed forgetting paradigm under the neutral and negative emotional conditions.Results:Under the neutral and negative emotion conditions,higher recognition of to-be-remembered (TBR) than to-be-forgotten (TBF) words in elder group and younger group (Ps < 0.05).The elder group showed the weaker effect of directed forgetting than younger group[neutral emotion:(0.4 ± 0.1) vs.(0.6 ± 0.1);negative emotion:(0.3 ± 0.1) vs.(0.7 ± 0.04),Ps < 0.05].Under the negative emotion condition,elder people showed stronger effect of directed forgetting for sensitive words compared with control words[(0.4 ± 0.1) vs.(0.1 ± 0.1),P < 0.001].Conclusion:The results suggest that the directed forgetting ability of elderly is weaker than that of young individuals,the ability of non-sensitive words than that with sensitive words,and the directed forgetting effect of elder people tonon-sensitive words in negative emotion is weaker than that in neutral emotion.

Objective To investigate the relation between the expression of HSP70 and p57kip2 in C, CT and Enneking surgical classifi-cation by detecting expression of HSP70 and p57kip2. Methods 30 cases of GCT were collected, including surgical operation specimens and 13 cases of osteochondroma were taken as control group. The expression of HSP70 and p57kip2 were detected, and the relation between the ex-pression of HSP70 and p57kip2 and Enneking surgical classification and prognosis of GCT were analyzed. Results With the increase of tumor Enneking surgical grades, the positive rate of HSP70 was increased and the negative rate of p57kip2 was decreased. Expression rates of HSP70 were 22. 2%, 88.9% ,100% in grades of 1~3 and expression rates of p57kip2 were 88. 9%, 88.9%, 33.3% in grades of 1~3. There was a negative correlation between HSPTo and p.57kip2 expression. Conclusions HSP70 and p57kip2 may play a role in the genesis, and develop-ment of giant cell tumor of bone, and it can be helpful for surgical classification and prognesis of GCT.

Objective To investigate the role of PI3K/Akt pathway in mitomycin(MMC) induced apoptosis of liver stem cells.Methods Rat liver stem ceils were stimulated with MMC,and the effect of MMC on the apoptosis rate of WB-F334 cells at different time points(6,12,24 h),as well as the effects of different concentrations of (0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1.0 mg/mL) MMC on the cytotoxicity of WB-F334 cells were evaluated;moreover,cells were treated with p38 MAPK inhibitor and PI3K/Akt inhibitor,and the roles of MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in MMC mediated apoptosis of WB-F334 cells were explored.Results The apoptosis rate of the MMC-treated WB-F334 increased with time(P<0.05).Compared with the un-treated control group,different concentrations of MMC had obvious cytotoxicity on liver stem cells,and the cytotoxicity increased with concentration.Western blotting results showed that Akt and MAPK in WB-F334 cells were significantly phosphorylated 15 min after MMC stimulation;the degree of phosphorylation decreased with time,and phosphorylation disappeared after 60 min,suggesting that the p38 MAPK,PI3K/Akt pathway can be activated by MMC;furthermore,when p38 MAPK inhibitor was added to MMC treated cells,the apoptosis rate of p38 MAPK inhibitor treated cells showed no significant difference compared to the un-treated cells(P>0.05),indicating that the MAPK pathway had no significant effect on MMC induced WP,-F334 cell death;however,when the PI3K/Akt inhibitor(API-2)was added,the apoptosis rate of API-2 treated cells was significantlv decreased compared to the un-treated cells(P<0.05),indicating that the PI3K/Akt pathway had a significant effect on MMC induced apoptosis of WB-F334 cells(P<0.05).Conclusion Stimulation of MMC can induce apoptosis of hepatic stem cells WB-F334 through the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for the treatment of central exudative chorioretinopathy. Methods Tweenty nine eyes with central exudative chorioretinopathy were treated with Iris 810 nm diode laser TTT. The laser beam size was 1.0, 2.0 or 3 0 mm with power settings between 80 300 mW and treatment time 60 sec. The follow up periods were wihzin 4 40 weeks. The therapeutic effect was accessed by visual acuity examination,dinect ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein or indocyanine green angiography. Results The visual acuity improved in 8 eyes (28%), remained no change in 19 eyes (65%) and decreased in 2 eyes (7%). Choroidal neovascularization were closed in 12 eyes in fundus angiography. The symptoms alleviated in 10 patients. Conclusion Transpupillary thermotherapy is a potential treatment for the central exudative chorioretinopathy.
