Objective To investigate the proliferation and analyze the protein expression of the Hela cells by the regulation of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) that acts as the donor of nitric oxide.Methods Cell morphology and MTT assay were used to analyze cell proliferation.Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and computer-assisted image analysis find the spots of interests. Difference of protein expression between GTN-treating group and control group was detected.Results Hela cells treated with 40?g/ml GTN in culture medium underwent inhibition of the growth activity, which were not clustered and shriveled. Some atypia cells were observed.Density of the cells was obviously decreased(0.0825, P

Objective To determine whether mutation of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene is associated with hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN).Methods The venous blood was collected from 50 patients with HBV-GN and 60 patients with asymptomatic HBV carriers (control group).Serum HBV DNA was extracted to determine the serum titer of HBV-DNA and then polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the HBV X gene mutation.Results (1)There were not statistical significance between age and gender in HBV-GN group and control group (P ＞0.05).There were not statistical significance of serum replication level of HBV DNA in HBV-GN with X gene mutation and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Urine protein excretion in HBV-GN group with or without X gene mutation was found with statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).(2)Nucleotide mutations [84％ (42/50)] resulted in amino acid substitution in HBV-GN.Nucleotide mutations changed in transfunction control region of X gene,including position nt1653,nt1726,nt1727,nt1730,nt1753,nt1762 and nt1764.(3)Nucleotide mutations [8％(5/60)] resulted in amino acid substitution in control group.Nucleotide mutations changed in position nt1632 and nt1635,located in non-functional region.Conclusions HBV X gene mutations and the subsequent amino acid substitutions are found in HBV-GN.The urine protein excretion level increases in patients with X mutation,suggesting that these mutations may play an important role in the pathogenesis of HBV-GN.

HBx gene is a multifunctional regulator,which has extensive trans-activating effects,and can activate transcription factors,inhibit DNA repair and regulate cell proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis.In recent years,the role of HBx gene in pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus-associated glomemlonephritis (HBV-GN) has been extensively studied,and the results show that HBx can promote glomerular mesangial cell proliferation,and induce damage or apoptosis of podocytes and renal tubular epithelial cells.This paper reviews the research progress on biological characteristics of HBx and its role in pathogenesis of HBV-GN.

Background The effectiveness of medical tissue adhesive for the reparation of operative incision has been recognized,but its influence to ocular surface microenvironment is not quite clear.Objective This study was to appraise the safety and efficacy of α-cyanoacrylate,a medical issue adhesive,for the reparation of the conjunctival and skin laceration.Methods Twenty healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into suturing group and medical glue group.Routine ophthalmic examination,the level of tear secretion and breakup time of tear film (BUT) were tested before operation.The upper bulbar conjunctiva of each right eye was cut apart about 1.0 cm after surface anesthesia and the skin of back was incised about 2.5 cm length after local anesthesia.The conjunctival and skin lacerations were adhered with compound medical adhesive in the medical glue group,and continuous suture was done to repair the conjunctival laceration and interrupted suture to the skin laceration with 5-0 chorda serica chirurgicalis in the suture group.The routine ophthalmic examination,level of tear secretion,BUT and the states of wound healing were examined 1 day,2 days and 7 days postoperatively.Pathologic examination of the corresponding tissues was also carried out 1 week after the animals were sacrificed.The data were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 statistical software.This experiment followed the Administration of the Care and Use of Experimental Animals of Shanghai City.Results The conjunctival and skin lacerations healed well both in the suture group and the medical glue group.The levels of tear secretion 1 day and 2 days postoperatively in the medical glue group were (12.70±2.21)mm and (12.70±2.00)mm respectively,showing a significant lowness in comparison with (14.90±2.38)mm and (14.90±2.33)mm of the suture group (q =-4.02,P =0.03;q =-4.02,P =0.03).Compared with the baseline,the difference of the levels of tear secretion in the medical glue group was not statistically significant in various time points after operation (P=1.00,1.00,0.51).The BUT values at 2 days and 7 days postoperatively in the medical glue group were (4.50 ± 1.18) seconds and (4.10±0.88) seconds respectively,being significantly longer than (3.30 ± 1.06) seconds and (3.00±1.25) seconds in the suture group (q=4.37,P=0.02;q=4.19,P=0.03).Compared with the baseline,there was not statistically significant difference at each time point postoperatively in the medical glue group (P =0.28,0.59,0.21).However,BUT at each time point after operation in the suture group was significantly shorter than that of the baseline (P=0.01,0.01,0.00).Pathological examination showed that all the conjunctival and skin lacerations healed well.Trivial collagen hyperplasy was seen in the eyes of the suture group and infiltration of a few of inflammatory cells was found in the medical glue group.In the pathological result of the skin test,there was conspicuous scar and severe collagen hyperplasy in the suture group,but in the medical glue group,the skin structure was almost normal.Conclusions α-Cyanoacrylate is safe and effective for the repair of the conjunctival incision with little affection to ocular surface microenvironment.

Background and purpose:It is difficult to diagnose gastric cancer at an early stage,thus the resectable probability of gastric cancer is low.This study was to explore the efficacy of neoajuvant chemotherapy in terms of resectablity for the patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods:Eighty-six patients with advanced gastric cancer were randomly divided into routine surgical operation group and neoajuvant chemotherapy+surgical operation group.The patients were examined by CT before surgery.The patients in neoajuvant chemotherapy+surgical operation group received two cycles of neoajuvant chemotherapy,and then were evaluated by CT.Results:In routine surgical operation group,the overall resectability rate was 83.7%(36/43),and the curative resection rate was 46.5%(20/43), 16.3%(7/43)was done by exp.lap.In neoajuvant chemotherapy+surgical operation group,the overall resectability rate was 93.0%(40/43),and the curative resection rate was 69.8%(30/43),only 7.0%(3/43)was exp.lap.No mortality was observed.There were no significant difference between both groups in terms of toxicities.Conclusions:The overall resectability rate and the curative resection rate are increased in patients with advanced gastric cancer aider neoajuvant chemotherapy.

Objective To explore the CT findings of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the tracheobronchial tree and improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods The CT images, histopathological and clinical data in 24 patients with pathologically proved MEC of the tracheobroncbial tree were retrospectively analyzed. Results The clinical symptoms included cough, sputum, fever, wheezing, chest pain and hemoptysis. The patient was proved to be low-grade (n=19) and high-grade (n=5) MEC histopathologically. One lesion was located in trachea, 6 in main bronchus, 12 in lobar bronchus and 5 in segmental, subsegmental and distal bronchus. The tumor presented as no-invasive endotracheobronchial well-defined round-like nodule (n=13, locating in lobar and higher bronchus) and columnar sharp (n=3, locating in main bronchus), or intra-and-extraluminal well-defined round-like nodule or mass (n=6, locating in lobar and lower bronchus) and irregular mass with invasive pattern (n=2, high-grade type). The density of lesion was similar to the muscule and the calcification within lesion was showed in 4 patients on non-enhanced CT. The lesion had marked enhancement in 17 patients on enhanced CT. Obstructive changes were found in 20 patients. Conclusion MEC of the tracheobronchial tree is usually low-grade malignancy and locates in main and lobar bronchus with no-invasive well-defined airway mass, marked enhancement and calcification on CT.

Objective To study the mechanics of moderate and severe brain injury of pedestrians in road traffic accident by establishing the virtual model of impact occipital bone injury.Methods The clinical data were used to analyze comlnon mode and characteristics of moderate and severe brain injury of pedestrians.Then,the corresponding finite element model built by using Hypermesh software was used to to analyze the changes of intracranial pressures and compare with injury characteristics by using Ls-Dyna soft-ware. Results The conlmon injury mode of moderate and severe brain injury of pedestrians wag the con-tact impact of occiputal part,characterized by"eontrecoup injury",mainly including subdural hemorrhage,extradural hemorrhage and contusion in the opposite parts to the impact point.The simtdation resuhs showed that when the impact was at right occiputal bone.the peak value of condensing force decreased from the right occipital lobe.to the left frontal lobe,while the peak value of tension increased gradually and reached maximum at the surface of left frontal lobe. Conclusions Moderate and severe brain injury of pedestrian is commonly caused by impacting the occiputal bone in road traffic accident.The tension deformation in frontal or temporal lobes and the distribution of vessels in grey matter may be main biomeehanies leading to "contrecoup injury".

Objective To investigate the association of chromosome 8p copy number alteration (CNA) with postoperative survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and to screen for possible target genes in the survival-related CNA (s) in 8p.Methods 187 HCC patients were enrolled into the study,which included 66 patients whose follow-up data were available and the follow-up was 2.6 ～ 73.3 months.High-resolution Agilent 244K comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and Affymetrix U133 Plus2.0 expression arrays were used to screen for CNAs and gene expression differences in 8p.The associations between CNAs in 8p and survival were analyzed using the log-rank test,Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models.The gene expression levels between the groups were compared by the Mann-Whitney U test.Results Copy number loss on 8p12 (31/66,47％) was significantly associated with reduced survival rate,and HCC patients with 8p12 loss had a 4.1-fold (95％ CI =1.8 ～ 9.4,P ＜ 0.05) increased hazard ratio (HR) for death from HCC,as compared to those without the loss.The mRNA expression levels of the 3 genes in 8p12,including TMEM66,DCTN6,and MAK16,were significantly decreased in HCCs with gene loss than in HCCs without the loss (all P ＜ 0.05),and in non-tumorous liver tissues (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Loss of 8p12 is an independent prognostic marker of unfavorable survival for patients with HCC,and underexpression of genes TMEM66,DCTN6,and MAK16,owing to 8p12 loss,contributed to unfavorable prognosis.

Objective To analysis and summarize the diagnosis and treatment of acute humoral rejection after liver transplantation.Method The clinical data of 2 patients with humoral rejection after liver transplantation were analyzed.One patient with severe hepatitis B underwent ABO-incompatible liver transplantation and the donor blood type was AB and recipient blood type was A.Another patient with autoimmune liver disease was subjected to liver transplantation with the same blood type.Result Two patients were given tacrolimus,mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone immune suppression scheme.Anti-human lymphocyte immune globulin was used in case 1 for induction therapy.Both cases recovered well after liver transplantation in one week evaluated by the transplanted liver function,but liver function deteriorated from 7 days after transplantation.Titer of anti blood type B antibody was increased in case 1,and biopsy of transplantation liver confirmed acute humoral rejection.Plasma exchange,bortezomib plus intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) were used for therapy for acute humoral rejection,and acute humoral rejection in case 1 was reversed after treatment and graft function recovered gradually.However,the graft function was not improved after treatment in case 2,and liver graft biopsy showed no acute cellular rejection signs.Only few liver cells necrosis and cholangiole cholestasis were seen.The levels of HLA Ⅰ and Ⅱ class antibody were 3.4％ and 95.9％ respectively.We suspected acute humoral rejection in case 2.Plasma exchange,bortezomib plus IVIG were given,but liver graft function was not improved after treatment,and liver re-transplantation was done 2 months after first liver transplantation.Acute humoral rejection diagnosed pathologically.Conclusion We should alert the occurrence of acute humoral rejection in ABO-incompatible liver transplantation,and the patients with autoimmune liver disease due to the disorder of immune function after liver transplantation.Liver graft biopsy,and detection of the levels of panel reactive antibodies will help to diagnose the acute humoral rejection.The treatment should seize the opportunity and combine a variety of approaches.Liver re-transplantation is performed once the rejection can not be reversed
