Objective:To investigate the relationship of hyperthyroidism and the level of leptin and the role of thyroid hormone in leptin secretion.Methods:FT3,FT4,TSH,serum leptin and body weight were measured in 30 female Graves' patients and 30 female controls;the percentage of body fat and leptin were calculated,the changes in various index after 6-month treatment with methimazole were observed,the relationship between thyroid hormone and leptin,percentage of leptin analyzed,and multiple regressive analysis was made on these factors.Results:The BMI,percentage of body fat and leptin level were lower than controls,however,percentage of leptin was higher than controls.The leptin level elevated insignificantly but percentage of leptin decreased significantly after 6 months treatment with methimazole.Percentage of leptin showed positive correlation with FT3,FT4 and BMI percentage of body fat.Conclusion:The percentage of leptin is higher in female thyroid hyperfunction patients than controls and thyroid hormone increases the secretion of leptin even on the condition of thyroid hyperfunction.

Objective:To explore the role of excessive iodide in inducing apoptosis in thyroid cells and its mechanism.Methods:Normal primary thyroid cells were cultured in NaI of different concentrations with or without IL-1? and methimazole.The morphological changes in thyroid cells were observed by light microscopy and apotosis rate was determined by flow cytometry techique.In the meantime Fas,FasL,p53 level were determined by histochemistry.Results:Thyroid cells treated with iodide excess underwent the morphological changes and apoptosis. There was a gradually increased apotosis rate and Fas/FasL protein expression accompanying increase in iodide concentrations.No changes in p53 protein expression was shown. IL-1? enhanced the effect of iodide cytotoxicity,whereas methimazole inhibited the role of iodide inducing apotosis.Conclusion:These data indicate that excess molecular iodide induces apoptosis in thyroid cell through Fas/FasL channel, but independent of p53.

Objective To prepare a specific anti-lactoferrin single chain variable fragment(ScFv).Methods Anti-lactoferrin clones were screened from a 'naive' phage antibody library against the immobilized lactoferrin antigen,then the clones were transformed to the E.coli HB2151 to give soluble expression of antibody fragments.The culture supernatant containing ScFv was purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography,and then determined with SDS-PAGE and ELISA.Results The results demonstrated that ScFvs were specific;they did not react with transferrin,lysozyme and bovine serum albumin in ELISA.The SDS-PAGE showed that the ScFvs had high purity through affinity chromatography and the molecular weight of them was about 32 kD.Conclusions The successful generation of the ScFvs against lactoferrin provides a basis for further study and clinical applications for dry eye and other ocular diseases.

Objective To evaluate the prognosis-related factors of colorectal cancer patients with positive PD-L1 expression in liver metastases after hepatectomy. Methods We reviewed retrospectively the clinical data of 68 colorectal cancer patients with positive PD-L1 expression in liver metastases receiving personalized comprehensive treatment which was mainly consisted of surgical resection. We observed the results and prognosis after surgical resection and analyzed related factors. Results Univariate analysis showed that no radiotherapy, N stage, RAS mutation status, T stage, dMMR, Duck stage, disease free interval from primary to metastases≤12 months and largest hepatic tumor diameter > 5 cm had obvious significance (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis regression revealed that without dMMR (P=0.012), Duck A stage (P=0.000), disease free interval from primary to metastases > 12 months (P=0.020) and largest hepatic tumor diameter < 5 cm (P=0.006) were independent protective factors for the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients with positive PD-L1 expression in liver metastases after surgical resection. Conclusion Personalized comprehensive treatment which is mainly consisted of surgical resection still has a good effect on colorectal cancer patients with positive PD-L1 expression in liver metastases after hepatectomy. Without dMMR, Duck A stage, disease free interval from primary to metastases > 12 months and largest hepatic tumor diameter ≤5cm are independent protective factors for patients' prognosis.

Objective To observe the expression of thioredoxin (Trx) and thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip) in the kidney of type 2 diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin and the effect of probucol treatment on thioredoxin system. Methods Thirty male SD rats were divided into control group( C, n = 10), diabetes group ( D, n =10), and probucol treated diabetic group ( P, n = 10). After eight weeks of probucol treatment, the expressions of Trx and Txnip in the kidney of three groups were measured by RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. Body weight,24 h microalbuminuria( ALB), fasting plasma glucose( FPG), fasting insulin( HNS), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), malondialdehyde ( MDA ), superoxide dismutase ( SOD ), and catalase (CAT) were determined. Results Compared with group C, Trx was markedly decreased in group P (0. 162 ±0. 008 vs 0. 239 ±0. 006, P＜0.05 ), while Txnip was significantly increased (0. 159±0.003 vs 0. 091 ±0.016, P＜0.05 ). Trx in group P was increased as compared with group D (0. 162 ±0. 008 vs 0. 108 ± 0. 013, P ＜ 0. 05 ), while Txnip was lowered (0. 159±0.003 vs 0. 236±0.009 ,P＜0.05 ). FPG, 24 h ALB, BUN, Cr,and MDA levels in group D were markedly increased as compared with group C (P＜0. 05), while the activity of SOD, CAT, and FINS levels were decreased apparently (P＜0.05). The above markers except for FPG in group P were ameliorated (P＜0. 05 ).Conclusions Probucol attenuated oxidative stress by means of partially restoring Trx function and reducing Txnip expression, and thus played a major role in renoprotection of type 2 diabetic nephropathy.

The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for 21 cases of liver neoplasms undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy from December 2007 to October 2012.Among 11 cases of borderline hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (1.0-9.0 cm),6 of them were of micro hepatocellular carcinoma (MHCC) with a diameter ≤2 cm.There were 10 cases of borderline hepatic benign tumor,including liver hemangioma (n =7),hepatic adenoma (n =1),liver lymphoma (n =1) and liver focal necrosis (n =1).According to Couinaud's liver segmentation method,neoplasm was located on segment Ⅲ (n =13),segment Ⅳ (n =6),segment Ⅴ (n =1) and segment Ⅵ (n =1).Laparoscopic hepatectomy was successful in all patients.There was neither conversion into open approach nor postoperative complications of bile leakage,air embolism or perioperative mortality,etc.The mean operative duration was (120 ± 30) minutes,average hemorrhagic volume (165-±79) ml and normal diet & ambulation at Day 1-2 post-operation.The average postoperative hospitalization stay was (16 ± 10)days and l-year survival rate 100％.The parameters of leucocyte,liver enzymes,albumin and bilirubin returned to normal at Week 1 post-operation.Once a reasonable surgical indication is selected,laparoscopic resection is both safe and effective for peripheral micro hepatocellular carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of piperazine ferulate combined with glutathione in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS:80 patients with diabetic nephropathy in our hospital were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 40 cases in each group. Both groups was given general treatment as blood glucose,blood lipid and blood pressure control. Control group was additionally given Reduced glutathione tablets 400 mg, tid,on the basis of general treatment. Observation group was additionally given Piperazine ferulate tablets 100 mg,tid,on the ba-sis of control group. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. The fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2 h postprandial plasma glucose(2 hPG),blood pressure,blood lipid,serum creatinine (Scr),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),24 h urinary total protein and albumin, urine β2 microglobulin(β2-MG)and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase(NAG)of 2 groups were detected before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR was observed. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in FPG,2 hPG,blood pres-sure,blood lipid,Scr,BUN,24 h urinary total protein and albumin,urine β2-MG and NAG between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,above indexes of 2 groups were improved significantly,and the observation group was better than the control group, with statistical significance(P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:In the treatment of diabetic ne-phropathy,piperazine ferulate combined with glutathione can improve blood glucose,blood pressure,blood lipid levels and renal function with good safety.
