IL-17,as a pro-inflammatory cytokine,is one of the early initiation factors of the inflammato-ry response induced by T cells.It can induce and regulate multiple immune responses.Recent studies have re-vealed that myeloid neutrophils,macrophage,mast cell and other innate immune cells all can secrete large a-mount of early responding IL-17 in organs suffering ischemia/hypoxia,and in turn can activate,amplify and re-cruit neutrophils to the reperfusion-damaged tissue to release large amount of free radicals and lysozyme that cause IRI.Researchers have also provided evidence that appropriate administration of anti-IL-17 mono-antibody to neutralize IL-17 during early reperfusion stage would reduce the tissue damage.The purpose of this review is to summarize the research progress of the effects of IL-17 produced by innate immunocyte on organ reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate effects of neural retina on development of the structure of outer blood retinal barrier in embryogenesis. Methods The retinal neural epithelium (RNE) and pigment epithelium (RPE) layers of 150, 120 and 90 embryonic chicken eyes incubated for 7, 10, and 14 days were peeled off. RNE was used to prepare the culture medium with different conditions (7drcSF3, 10drcSF3, 14drcSF3). RPE cells of 7- and 14-incubated chicken embryos were cultured on laminin-coated transwell filter. The SF3, 7drcSF3, 10drcSF3, 14drcSF3 medium were used respectively in the apical chamber and SF2 was used in basolateral chamber. After the formation of monolayer, the transepithelial electrical resistance of the RPE was detected. After the fixation of RPE cells, the condition of the tight junction among the cells was observed by immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy. Results For the RPE cells of 7- and 14-day incubated embryonic eyes, the difference of TER in various medium of SF3/SF2, 7drcSF3/SF2, 10drcSF3/SF2, 14drcSF3/SF2 was statistically significant (P

40 cases of parotidectomy were reviewed.Anterograde approach(group A)and retrograde approach(group B)for facial nerve dissection were used in 1 7 and 23 cases respectively.1 patients in group A and 8 in group B presented symptoms of temporary facial nerve paralysis(P <0.05).The anterograde method is safer and quicker.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features of adenocarcinoma of the appendix.Methods The clinical data of 5 patients with adenocarcinoma of appendix hospitalized at our hospital from Sep 2005 to Dec 2010 were analyzed.Results Intraoperatively two cases were highly suspected of malignant tumor of the appendix,diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was confirmed by frozen pathology,and one stage right hemicolectomy was performed.One patient received simple appendectomy,but postoperative pathology showed adenocarcinoma of appendix and secondary right hemicolectomy was carried out two weeks later.One patient was preoperatively misdiagnosed as periappendiceal abscess and as a result fight hemicolectomy was performed because planned appendectomy was technically impossible.The postoperative pathology revealed adenocarcinoma of the appendix.In the last patient preoperative diagnosis was hypogastric space-occupying lesion with extensive intraabdominal metastasis.During exploration adenocarcinoma of the appendix with extensive metastasis was confirmed.Right hemicolectomy and carcinectomy was performed.Postoperatively all the 5 patients underwent regular chemotherapy.We followed them for 2 to 3 years and only the patient with intraabdominal metastasis at first laparotomy suffered from extensive recurrence 2 years after surgery.Conclusions The adenocarcinoma of appendix can be easily misdiagnosed as other diseases.Radiography,careful exploration during operation and frozen pathology help establish final diagnosis.Right hemicolectomy and postoperative chemotherapy are required in order to reduce tumor recurrence and prolong patients' survival.

Objective:To explore the effect of calcium release-activated calcium channel modulator 1 (ORAI1) on the migration and invasion of colon cancer cell line SW480 and its mechanism. Methods:The SW480 cells were infected with ORAI interference lentivirus. The expression of ORAI1 mRNA and protein was confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Transwell chamber, adhesion, angiogenesis, and vasculogenic mimicry experiments were conducted to detect the ability of cell invasion, migration, and angiogenesis and the intercellular adhesion of homogeneous and heterogeneous cells among each group. Confocal microscopy was employed to detect the difference of store-operated Ca2+entry (SOCE) in each group. Western blott was used to detect the expression of ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2, MMP-2, VEGF, and E-cadherin protein. Results:After the infection of SW480 with the ORAI1 interference lentivirus for 72 h, significant fluorescence expression was observed. Compared with the empty vector group and control group, the expression of ORAI1 was lower in the interference group (P<0.01). Invasion and migration ability decreased (P<0.01); the intercellular adhesion ability of homogeneous cells increased (P<0.05); the intercellular adhesion ability of heterogeneous cells decreased (P<0.05);the angiogenesi and vasculogenic mimicry were enhanced (P<0.01);the internal flow peak of SOCE was low (P<0.05); the expression of p-ERK1/2, MMP-2, and VEGF proteins decreased (P<0.01); and the expression of E-cadherin protein increased (P<0.01). Conclusion:ORAI1 may promote the migration and invasion of SW480. This mechanism may be associated with the increase of SOCE.

OBJECTIVE： To confirm the efficacy and safety of latanoprost in treating glaucoma.METHODS： In a double blind， randomized control clinical trial， we compared the efficacy and adverse drug reactions of once daily topically applied 0.005％ latanoprost with those of twice daily 0.5％ timolol for 12 weeks in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.RESULTS： The study included 46 patients（22 pts.randomized to latanoprost treatment， 24 pts.to timolol） ， 46 patients remained at the end of the study.Comparing with baseline diurnal intraocular pressure（IOP） ， the IOP reduction（mean±standard deviation） achieved with latanoprost（7.86±2.39） mmHg， （31.1％， P<0.001），and timolol（6.24±2.58）mmHg （24.9%，P<0.001），the difference between the two groups（1.62mmHg） being significant（P<0.01）. Two patients treated with latanoprost had foreign body sensation. No other ocular and systemic adverse reactions related to the two drugs were found. CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrated that 0.005% latanoprost applied once daily is well tolerated and more effective in reducing IOP than 0.5% timolol applied twice daily. Thus, latanoprost has the potential for becoming one of the ideal antiglaucoma drugs.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathogenical significance of phosphorylation type of c-jun N-terminal kinase(p-JNK)and muhidmg resistance protein P-glycopretein(P-gP),multidrug resistance proteinl(MRP1)and lung resistance protein(LRP)in gastric cancer. Methods The expression of p-JNK,P-gP,MRP1 and LRP was detected in a tissue microarray containing 168 spots of gastric cancer tissue and 27 spots of normal gastric tissue by immunohistochemistry.Results The positive expression rate of p-JNK,P-gp,MRP1 and LRP in gastric cancer wag 45.8%,51.8%,45.8%and 55.4%respectively,which Was significantly higher than that in normal gastric tissue(P＜0.05).The p-JNK expression correlated with depth of invasion(P＜0.01),histology grade(P＜0.05),vessel invasion (P＜0.01),lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis(P＜0.01).The expression of p-JNK,P-gp and MRP1 in a positive relationship(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significant impact on survival by p-JNK,P-gp and MRPl(P＜0.05). Conclusion The p-JNK expression in gastric cancer is correlated with malignant biological behavior and may be involved in the chemotherapeutic resistance by upregulating the expression of P-g[ and MRP1.

Objective To investigate the effect of microbubble-enhanced non-focused ultrasound on liver uhrastructure during the treatment of hepatic trauma.Methods The model of hepatic trauma was established in 18 healthy New Zealand rabbits.The subjects were divided into trauma group,ultrasound group and ultrasound-microbubble group according to the random number table,with 6 rabbits each.Thicker region of the left hepatic lobe was treated by custom-made non-focused ultrasound for 5 min.Peak intensity (PI) was used to evaluate the blood reperfusion of the target region after treatment.Liver specimens were performed transmission electron microscope examination immediately and 24 h after treatment to analyze ultrastructure changes.Results PI ratio in ultrasound-microbubble group (15.1 ± 2.6) was significantly lower than that in trauma group (23.1 ± 1.1) and ultrasound group (23.4 ± 1.3) (P ＜ 0.05).But the difference between trauma and ultrasound groups was insignificant (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with trauma and ultrasound groups immediately after treatment,hepatic cells in ultrasoundmicrobubble group had obvious edema,sinusoids thinned,organelles arranged in disorder,mitochondrial edema was present,endothelia cells of interlobular hepatic artery,interlobular vein and bile canaliculi in the portal area damaged,and microvilli of bile canaliculi disappeared.Hepatic cells showed morphology of apoptosis 24 h after treatment.Conclusion Microbubble-enhanced non-focused ultrasound can be used to make rapid hemostasis by decreasing the blood perfusion,but it causes certain damage to the ultrastructure of hepatic cells and may induce apoptosis in the radiation zone and neighboring cells.
