Objective To investigate the primary target of injury resulting from cold preservation/reperfusion after liver transplantation in rats. Methods Male SD rats were divided into three groups randomly: sham group,UW 1-h group and UW 12-h group. Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed by using the technique described by Kamada with a modification. Survival rate of rats within 168 h postoperation was observed. Liver tissue specimens and blood samples were collected at 8 time points predetermined as 1,6,12,24,48,72,96 and 168 h postoperation. Six animals were used per time-point. The liver function was evaluated by serum ALT,AST and HA levels. Morphology was observed under light microscopy and TEM. Additionally,the incidence of apoptosis (AI) in hepatocytes and sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) were measured separately by TUNEL method.Results The survival rate at 168 h in UW 12-h group was 50 %,significantly lower than that in UW 1-h group (F= 6.39 ,P

Thermal Shift Assays was applied for high-throughput screening optimized buffer system used in the gel filtration chromatography for purification of recombinant TBEV serine protease. The optimization included kinds of salt and pH. It was optimized new buffer remarkably improved the quality of the purified TBEV serine protease by increasing its monomer from 75% to 99%. This result may improve future crystal studies of this protein.

APOBEC3 is a class of cytidine deaminase, which is considered as a new member of the innate immune system, and APOBEC3G belongs to this family. The research about APOBEC3G is a new direction of innate immune defense mechanism against virus. APOBEC3G has the restrictive activity on many viral replications, which deaminates dC to dU in the viral genome and then induces extensive hypermutation. APOBEC3G can also interrupt viral replication at several phases such as reverse transcription, replication, nucleocapsid and so on by non-deamination mechanisms. However, virus can encode viral proteins to counteract the restriction activity of APOBEC3G. Elucidation of the antagonistic interaction between APOBEC3G and the virus will be contributed to development of new antiviral drugs in the future.

To investigate the effects of different methods of treatment, including tonifying the kidney, activating blood and soothing the liver, on mice with autoimmune premature ovarian failure (POF).

BACKGROUND:Intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection is a popular postoperative analgesia method and can effectively control postoperative pain and relieve side effects after total hip arthroplasty.
OBJECTIVE:To compare and assess the effectiveness and safety of intraarticular analgesic injection or intravenous injection of parecoxib after total hip arthroplasty.
METHODS:A total of 60 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty were randomly assigned to:treatment group (intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection with morphine, bupivacaine, and compound betamethasone), and control group (intravenous injection of parecoxib). Al patients received tramadol hydrochloride at 24 hours after replacement. Analgesic consumption, visual analog scale at rest and during activity, range of motion, and postoperative complication of patients in each group were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection significantly reduced analgesic consumption. When comparing visual analog scale scores, rest pain scores were significantly less in the treatment group at 12, 24 and 48 hours after replacement than that in the control group (P<0.05). Scores on range of motion were significantly less in the treatment group at 24 and 36 hours than that in the control group (P<0.05). No significant differences in total complications were detectable between the treatment and control groups (P>0.05). Results suggested that intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection lessened analgesic consumption after replacement, relieved early pain after replacement, and contributed to early rehabilitation of patients. Moreover, no significant adverse reactions were visible.

·Diffusely infiltrating retinoblastoma is a rare histopatho-logic type of retinoblastoma, accounting for approximate-ly 1% to 2% of retinoblastoma cases. We report a case of diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma presenting as endo-phthalmitis and comment on the histopathologic findings.

Objective To evaluate the role of 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after radiotherapy. Methods A total of 27 NPC patients received 18FDG PET-CT 8-32 weeks after radiotherapy. All the patients were followed up for about 12 months after the examination. Metastasis and residual were evaluated by PET-CT. The correlation between SUV and prognosis was analyzed. Results Of these 27 patients, metastasis was found in 2 patients by PET-CT. Local persistence was diagnosed as for SUV≥2. 5 by PET-CT in 20 patients, among whom 18 were confirmed by biopsy and then received brachytherapy or conformal radiotherapy. One year local control and survival rates were 70% and 81%. Based on SUV, the patients were divided into group one for SUV between 2. 5 and 5(9 patients) or group two for SUV≥5 (11 patients). In group one and group two, the one year local control rate, survival rate and metastasis rate were 67% , 55% (P=0.670) , 64% ,89%(P=0.319), and 22% , 82% (P =0. 022) , respectively. Conclusions PET-CT is valuable for the identification of residual nasopharyngeal carcinoma. SUV of residual tumor is related to metastasis.

Objective To analyze the differences of hospitalization mortality of coronary stenting in patients with coronary heart disease between the elderly (≥65 years old ) and non elderly. Methods Totally 3252 patients who underwent coronary stenting in Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital were studied retrospectively. They were divided into elderly group (≥65 years old, n=1344) and non elderly group (

Objective To test the expression of serine/arginine rich splicing factor 1(SRSF1)and apoptosis inhibiting factor(Survivin) in prostate cancer,and study their correlation with the pathological features of prostate cancer,so as to put forward the new targets in the treatment of prostate cancer. Methods SRSF1 and Survivin protein was determined in 20 prostate tissue samples including prostate cancer(n=12)and benign prostat?ic hyperplasia(n=8)by immunohistochemical SP method. SRSF1 and Survivin was correlated to pathological features,and both the relevance was analyzed(no related reports at home and abroad). Results The positive expression rate of SRSF1 protein in prostate cancer tissue cells was 76.37± 5.06%,which was significantly higher than that of benign prostatic hyperplasia(11.30%±1.09%,P<0.05);the positive expression rate of Survivin protein in prostate cancer tissue cells was 86.93%±3.21%,which was significantly higher than that of benign prostatic hyperplasia(17.67%±1.99%, P<0.05);SRSF1 and Survivin protein expressed in prostate cancer organizations and were positively correlated to pathological Gleason grading, and there was significant correlation(P<0.05). Conclusion SRSF1 and Survivin protein were highly expressed in adenocarcinoma tissue,which were significantly increased than that of benign hyperplasia of prostate tissue. The positive expression SRSF1 and Survivin protein were positively cor?related to pathological Gleason grading.The expression of Survivin protein was elevated with the expression of SRSF1 protein in prostate cancer. These preliminary evidence indicated that SRSF1 may up?regulate the expression of Survivin,and thus promote the occurrence and development of prostate cancer.
