Objective To study the changes of mesenteric arterioles on the contractile response to norepinephrine in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension (PHT) caused by hepatitis B after treatment by high-dose vitamin C.Methods Eleven PHT patients and 6 non-PHT volunteer were those undergoing their respective surgeriesat in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2011.The PHT patients were randomly assigned to vitamin C treatment group and placebo treatment group.After admission and before induction of anesthesia,blood taken to mesure plasma concentration of malonaldehyde (MDA).Intraoperative portal pressure was measured.We took the third level intestinal mesentery vessels with their mesentery next to the jejunum and studied the contractile response to norepinephrine of the intestinal mesenteric arterioles.We also measured RhoA/ROCK pathway associated proteins' expression and activity changes by Western-blot method.Results The average value of the plasma MDA of PHT patients with cirrhosis was much higher than that of non-PHT patients.After treatment by vitamin C,the value decreased.The dose-response curve of isolated mesenteric arterioles to norepinephrine from PHT patients with cirrhosis shifted to the right,and the EC50 value was higher than that of non-PHT patients.But this phenomenon was reversed after the patients treated with vitamin C.The protein expression of RhoA in mesenteric arteries did not change significantly among the three groups.But the protein expression and activity of ROCK-1 was significantly reduced in PHT patients with cirrhosis.After treatment with vitamin C,the expression and activity of ROCK-1 in mesenteric arteries of cirrhosis was significantly increased.Conclusion The PHT patients with cirrhosis are in the situation of oxidative stress.The high-dose vitamin C treatment can reduce oxidative stress level and improve contractile hyporeactivity of mesenteric arterioles of PHT patients with cirrhosis to norepinephrine.The protein expression and activity increasement of ROCK in RhoA/ ROCK pathway is involved in thisphenomenon.

Objective To investigate whether radial augmentation index (AI) associates with cardiovascular risk as well as arterial stiffness.MethodsA total of 4985 subjects, 2417 men and 2568 women, aged 18-96 (50.9 ± 14.7)years,were recruited.AI was measured in the left radial artery using tonometry Colin HEM-9000AI.Carotid-femoral PWV (CFPWV) and carotid-radial PWV (CRPWV) were examined by automatic pulse wave velocity (PWV) measuring system.Framingham risk score and Chinese ischemic cardiovascular disease risk score were applied upon subjects without cardiovascular disease to calculate individual cardiovascular risk respectively.ResultsRadial AI (rAI) was significantly higher in women than in men[(83.18 ± 12.36)％ vs (71.93 ± 15.22)％, P ＜0.01].Simple correlation analysis showed rAI was significantly correlated to two cardiovascular risk scores or CFPWV and CRPWV.After adjusted for multi-factors, rAI was still significantly correlated to Framing, ham risk score or Chinese ischemic cardiovascular disease risk score (r = 0.17 and 0.12) in men respectively (P ＜ 0.05), while r were 0.09 and 0.08 in women respectively (P ＜ 0.05).In multivariate analysis, there was a significant association between CFPWV and rAI (r = 0.14 in men, r = 0.10 in women, P ＜ 0.01), whereas the relation ship between CRPWV and rAI was not found.The relationship between rAI and cardiovascular risk or PWV became weaker for those aged above 50 years.ConclusionAugmentation index might be a useful marker of cardiovascular risk and arterial stiffness, which could be more feasible for younger subjects as a tool for risk differentiation.

Objective To explore the microsurgical treatment strategy of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms.Methods From September 2009 to February 2013,thirty-three patients with ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms were treated with microsurgical clipping via modified pterion approach.The clinical and follow-up data were analyzed retrospectively.Results At 3 to 44 months period followed-up after microsurgical clipping of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms were obtained in 32 patients.According to Glasgow Outcome Score,the curative effects score were 5 in 28 cases,four in 2 cases,three in 1 case and death in 1 case.Conclusion Microsurgical clipping of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms via modified pterional approach was an effective method with sufficient exposure.It has less invasiveness to the brain tissue,reliable neck clipping and satisfactory results.Safety and effectiveness of this procedure are based on preoperative radiological evaluation of three-dimensional morphological specificity of aneurysms,identification of the parental arteries and its branches,as well as temporary proximal occlusion.

Objective To explore the role of hydrogen peroxide in mesenteric artery contraction of cirrhotic rats with portal hypertension,which was induced by bile duct ligation.Possible mechanism in RhoA/ROCK signal pathway was also part of the focus.Methods The bile duct ligation-induced cirrhotic rats and normal rats (control group) were treated equally with PEG-catalase(10 000 U/kg-1 · d-1,ip.) or by its vehicle for 8 days.Then the level of H2O2 in mesenteric arteries was detected.The contractile response to norepinephrine of arterioles was analyzed by vascular perfusion system.The protein expressions of the α1 adrenergic receptor,β-arrestin-2 and Rho kinase-1 (ROCK-1),and the activity of ROCK-1 were measured by western blot.In addition,the interaction of α1-adrenergic receptor with β-arrestin-2 was assessed by co-immunoprecipitation.Results Compared to normal rats,the dose-response curve of the mesenteric arterioles in response to norepinephrine shifted to the right,and the EC 50 increased in the rats with portal hypertension.PEG-catalase treatment can decrease the hydrogen peroxide level in arteries,thus significantly lowered EC50 and improved the reactivity to norepinephrine of the mesenteric arterioles in portal hypertension rats.No significant difference in the α1-adrenergic receptor amounts was observed among groups.There was remarkable decreases in the protein expressions of β-arrestin-2 and its interaction with the α1-adrenergic receptor in cirrhotic rats with PEG-catalase treatment.PEG-catalase also increased the amount and activity of ROCK-1 in cirrhotic rats.Conclusions The level of hydrogen peroxide increases in the mesenteric arteries in bile duct ligation-induced cirrhotic rats.And it enhances the β-arrestin-2 expression and its interaction with the α1-adrenergic receptor,which subsequently decreases the amount and activity of ROCK as well as the contractility of mesenteric arteries in response to vasoconstrictors.

Objective To evaluate the treatment outcome, prognostic factors, radiation dose, and toxicities in patients with early-stage primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of Waldeyer's ring (WR-DLBCL) treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).Methods This study included 80 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ primary WR-DLBCL who were admitted to our hospital from 2008 to 2015.Only 3 patients received radiotherapy alone, and the other patients received radiotherapy and chemotherapy.After chemotherapy, 24 patients achieved complete remission (CR), and 53 patients achieved partial remission (PR).IMRT was given to the primary lesion and cervical lymphatic drainage region.Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test.The Cox model was used for analysis of prognostic factors.The toxicities were scored using the RTOG criteria.Results The median follow-up was 64 months.The 5-year locoregional control (LRC), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 94%, 88%, and 84%, respectively.The dose-volume histogram showed that the maximum, mean, and minimum doses to primary gross tumor volume were 54.47 Gy, 52.27 Gy, and 38.83 Gy, respectively.Prognostic analysis showed that age>60 years and increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were influencing factors for OS (P=0.009 and 0.002), and that aged>60 years, IPI ≥2, and increased LDH were influencing factors for PFS (P=0.001, 0.035, and 0.007).Among all patients, 12, 53, and 8 experienced grade 1-3 radiation-induced acute oral mucositis, respectively, and 16 and 13 experienced grade 1 and 2 xerostomia as the late toxicity, respectively.Conclusions For patients with early-stage primary WR-DLBCL, IMRT results in satisfactory OS, PFS, and LRC and has tolerable early or late radiation-induced toxicities.

Objective: To investigate the expression of grainyhead like 2 (GRHL 2) gene in human colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and cells, and to explore the effects of GRHL 2 gene silence on the proliferation and cell cycle of CRC cells. Methods: The expression level of GRHL2 mRNA in CRC tissues and their para-cancerous normal tissues as well as CRC cells (HT29, SW480, SW1116, SW620, HCT116, Caco2 and LoVo cells) was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. After the recombinant lentivirus carrying GRHL2-shRNA was infected into HT29 and HCT116 cells, the cell proliferation was determined by CCK-8 method and cloning formation assay, the cell cycle distribution was detected by FCM, and the expressions of cell cycle-related proteins (cyclin A, cyclin D1, p21 and p27) were determined by Western blotting. Furthermore, the subcutaneous transplantation models of CRC HT29 and HCT116 cells were established in nude mice, then the effect of GRHL 2 gene silencing on the growth of colorectal cancer xenografts was observed. Results: The expression level of GRHL2 mRNA in CRC tissues was higher than that in paracancerous normal tissues (2.8 times, P < 0.001). GRHL2 mRNA was highly expressed in most CRC cells (HT29, SW480, HCT116, Caco2 and LoVo cells). The expression levels of GRHL2 mRNA and protein in HT29 and HCT116 cells were down-regulated after transfection of GRHL2-shRNA (both P < 0.001). Silencing GRHL 2 gene significantly suppressed cell proliferation (both P < 0.05), produced the cell cycle arrest in G1 phase (both P < 0.01), down-regulated the expressions of cyclin A and cyclin D1 (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and upregulated the expressions of p21 and p27 (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Meanwhile, GRHL 2 gene silencing significantly promoted the growth of colorectal cancer xenografts in nude mice. Conclusion: GRHL2 maybe promote the proliferation of CRC cells by regulating the expression of cell cycle-related proteins.
