Bariatric surgery is one of the most rapid,effective and sustained treatment options for obesity.In recent years,laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become increasingly popular due to simple manipulation,maintaining gastrointestinal structures,high safety and significant efficacy.Several published studies have reported an increased rate of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after the operation,or it can aggravate the preexisting symptoms.The mechanisn of GERD is very complex and controversial.

AIM:To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) in colorectal cancer ( CRC) cells, and to observe the effect of MEG 3 on the invasion and migration of CRC cells .METH-ODS:The levels of MEG3 in human normal colon cell NCM 460 and CRC cells SW48 and LoVo were detected by real-time PCR.MEG3 was over-expressed by plasmid transfection , and the effects of MEG 3 on the invasion and migration of SW 48 and LoVo cells were analyzed by Transwell assay and wound healing assay .The expression of matrix metalloproteinase ( MMP) family proteins was determined by Western blotting .RESULTS:The level of MEG3 was down-regulated in CRC cells compared with normal colon cell NCM 460.The invasion and migration of CRC cells were reduced after MEG 3 over-ex-pression.Transwell invasion and migration assays showed that the numbers of transmembrane SW 48 and LoVo cells were smaller in MEG3 over-expression group than control group (P<0.05).The cell spaces were broader after MEG3 over-ex-pression in the wound healing assay , indicating that MEG3 over-expression inhibited the mobility of CRC cells .Meanwhile, over-expression of MEG3 reduced the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9, and elevated the expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2).CONCLUSION:The expression of MEG3 is down-regulated in CRC cells.Over-expres-sion of MEG3 inhibits the invasion and migration of CRC cells .TIMP-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 might play an important role in this regulation .

Objective:To study the conditions of in vitro proliferation and differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells(MSC) for its application in transplantation.Methods:MSC were obtained by flushing the shaft with DMEM using a sterile syringe,dissociated by density gradient centrifuge,and cultured in the medium containing DMEM and 10% fatal bovine serum(FBS).Then we added neural growth factors into the medium and observed their influence on MSC proliferation,differentiation and survival by phase contrast microscopy.Immunocytochemistry was used to identify cell types.Results:MSC cultured in medium containing DMEM/ 10% FBS/ neural growth factors proliferated quickly.The neuron-like cells appeared at 7-9 d with the expression of neurone specific enolase(NSE) at(52?9.2)% and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) at(15?7)%,and could survive more than 7 days;In contrast,cells induced by ?-mercaptoethanol(BME) died gradually after 24 hours.Conclusion:MSC can not only proliferate and differentiate into neuron-like cells effectively in the medium containing neural growth factors but also survive longer.

BACKGROUND: At present, many scholars make improvements to the UW solution composition, aiming to further explore the principle of organ preservation, improve preservation techniques and to extend the preservation time limit; simplified composition of UW solution can further meet the clinical transport, storage and ease of use; suitable alternatives should be found to reduce the cost of UW solution to satisfy the needs of the market.OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effectiveness of self-prepared PV solution for preserving rat's liver at a lower temperature, and to compare the results with UW solution.METHODS: A total of 90 Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: UW group, PV group and normal saline (NS) group. Rats in each group were prepared for non-circulated isolated perfused rat liver models, and preserved for 0, 6,12, 18, and 24 hours respectively, with 6 animals in each subgroup. The changes of hepatic enzymology (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase) in corresponding time period, amount of metabolic production of oxyradicals from perfusion effluent liquid, and the bile secretion and changes in hepatic morphology under the microscope were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Amounts of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase and superoxide dismutase in perfusion effluent liquid were close between the PV group and UW group, and the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). After 6 hours of preservation, tumor necrosis factor a titre in the PV fluid group was greater than that in the UW group (P< 0.05); after 12 hours of preservation, amount of malonaldehyde in the UW group was evidently increased than that in the PV group (P < 0.05); after 18 hours of preservation, bile secretion in the PV group was lower than that in the UW group (P < 0.05); morphological changes of hepatic cells were similar in the two groups under the optical and electron microscope. The results demonstrated that PV solution and UW solution have a similar effect on protecting Wistar rat's liver function, and PV solution is superior to UW solution in antioxidation and scavenging oxygen free radicals.

Objective: To observe the morphological changes of enteric deep muscular plexuses interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC-DMP) in rats with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods: Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and MODS model group. The enteric ICC-DMP network was observed using c-kit immunohistochemical staining with whole-mount preparation technique and confocal laser scanning microscopy , and the ultraslructural features of ICC-DMP was evaluated using transmission electron microscope. Results: Compared with those in control group, the distributions and densities of intestine ICC-DMP in MODS group were significantly decreased (P < 0. 05) , the ICC-DMP network was disrupted and the ultrastructural features of ICC-DMP were severely damaged. Conclusion: The ICC-DMP network was severely damaged in rats with MODS, and the mechanism of gastrointestinal dysmotility in MODS may be related to the morphological changes of ICC-DMP.

Objective To research the angiographic manifestations of rabbit implanted VX_2 liver carcinoma.Methods 34 New Zealand big white rabbit were implanted VX_2 tumor pieces under orthophoria into liver left middle segment.Angiography of coeliac artery-hepatic artery catheterization via right femoral artery was performed at the third week after inoculation.Results The tumor blood vessel and tumor stain in 6 rabbit could be not showed clearly by digital cinematography mode but which could be showed in 28 rabbit by digital subtraction mode.The tumor angiographic signs included:dilating growth of tumor,the feeding arteria surrounding the tumor surface were resemblance to the clenched fist,embraced globosity and wreath in form;many slender vessels from feeding arteria appeared as small bud form,root form and filose form pushed forward to the center from the surface of tumor.The tumor vascular density in periphery was higher than that in center and formed circular or oval tumor stain which more denser at periphery than center.The tumor node stain was complete with definite margin when tumor size was large or equal to 1 cm in diameter,and the tumor stain appeared as clump with indefinit margin.Conclusion There are abundant vascularity for rabbit implanted liver VX_2 tumor,and more abundant at periphery part than center part, coeliac artery catheterization angiography can show the typical manifestations of tumor clearly.

Objective To research the angiographic anatomy of celiac artery in rabbit.Methods 36 New Zealand big white rabbitswere included in this study,the angiography of celiac artery and hepatic artery via right femoral artery was performed,and the branchand diameter of celiac artery system were analysed.Results 66.7% of the celiac arterial opening localized at the level of T_(12) vertebral body low edge,gastrohepatic arterial truncus could been divided into three types : type Ⅰ(47.22%),tree-like branch;type Ⅱ(38.88%),trifurcate branch and type Ⅲ(13.90%),dichotomy branch.The length of proper hepatic artery was from 22.70 to 33.00 mm(26.64 mm?2.28 mm),the inner diameter of proper hepatic artery,left hepatic artery and right hepatic arteria was 0.60~1.20 mm(0.90 mm?0.16 mm),0.60~1.10 mm(0.72 mm?0.09 mm) and 0.50~1.00 mm(0.67 mm?0.09 mm) respectively.The segmental artery of liver could be displaied clearly by proper hepatic artery angiography.Conclusion To realize the angiographic anatomy of rabbit celiac artery would provide a useful help for transhepatic arterial interventional treatment of the liver VX_2 tumor model of rabbit.

Histone deacetylase 1 ( sirtuin 1, SIRT1) is an important member of deacetylase family, and plays an important role in the process of malignant tumor and embryonic development. In this article it was found that overexpression of SIRT1 could accelerate the DNA synthesis in human pancreatic beta cell CRL-1837 and inhibit cell senescence. SIRT1 also could bind to p53 as detected by co-immunoprecipitation and could change the phosphorylation level of p53.
