Objective To observe the protective function of murine compact bone derived-mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) on bleomycin-induced lung injury.Methods MSCs were isolated from the mouse compact bone and then cultured.The immunophenotype and differentiation potential of MSCs were identified by flow cytometry and inductive culture.56 female C57BL/6 mice were assigned into eight groups(7 each): normal group,busulfan intraperitoneal administration group(BUS),bleomycin-induced lung injury group(BLM),bleomycin-induced lung injury and busulfan intraperitoneal administration group(BLM+BUS),BLM challenge and MSCs treatment group(BLM+MSCs),BLM challenge and busulfan and MSCs administration group(BLM+BUS+MSCs).According to infused cell number,BLM+MSCs and BLM+BUS+MSCs group were again respectively divided to two subgroups: BLM+MSCs 1 group(5?105 MSCs) and BLM+MSCs 2 group(2.5?105 MSCs),and BLM+ BUS+MSCs 1 group(5?105 MSCs) and BLM+BUS+MSCs 2 group(2.5?105 MSCs),respectively.The mice were sacrificed 14 days after MSCs infusion,and their lungs were removed for pathological analysis and quantification of hydroxyproline.Results Compact bone derived-MSCs were fibroblast-like cells,positive for Sca-1,CD44,CD29,and CD105,but expressed no CD34,CD45,CD11b and CD31.They could differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts in vitro.Compact bone derived-MSCs infused by tail vein were capable of protecting lung from injury.In BLM+MSCs group,2.5?105 MSCs infusion demonstrated more efficient protective activity than that of 5?105 MSCs;the lung injury was less severe in BLM+BUS+MSCs group than that in BLM +MSCs group.The content of hydroxyproline in lung tissue of normal,BUS,BLM,BLM+BUS,BLM+MSCs 1,BLM+MSCs 2,BLM+BUS+MSCs 1 and BLM+BUS+MSCs 2 group was 0.72?0.05,0.79?0.10,1.37?0.09,1.22?0.16,1.24?0.14,1.01?0.15,1.03?0.19 and 0.98?0.12?g/mg,respectively.The content of hydroxyproline increased in BLM and BLM+BUS group compared with that in normal group(P

AIM:To explore the regulatory effect of microRNA-3666 (miR-3666) on the expression of its tar-get gene phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) in leukemic cells.METHODS: miR-3666 expression levels in normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells and leukemic cells were determined by quantitative real-time PCR.miR-3666 targeting PTEN 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) was predicted by TargetScan software .3'UTR of PTEN was inserted in the dual luciferase reporter vector psiCHECK 2.The reporter activity was evaluated by the Dual-Lu-ciferase Reporter Assay System after the luciferase promoter vector and miRNA were co -transfected into HEK293T cell line. K562 cells were transfected with synthetic miR-3666 inhibitor ( anti-miR-3666) or a synthetic control miRNA ( anti-miR-C) .The expression of PTEN protein in the above transfected K 562 cells was determined by Western blotting .RESULTS:miR-3666 was up-regulated in the human leukemic cell lines and primary leukemic cells compared to normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells .The results of dual luciferase assays validated PTEN as a specific target gene of miR-3666.Inhi-bition of miR-3666 resulted in an up-regulation of PTEN protein expression in the K 562 cells.CONCLUSION:miR-3666 is over-expressed in leukemic cells .The abnormal over-expression of miR-3666 may play a key role in leukemia due to the down-regulation of PTEN .

Objective To compare the clinical data of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers and chronic hepatitis B so that to provide pathological evidence for management of chronic HBV carriers with different alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels.MethodsLiver biopsies were performed in totally of 292 cases of chronic HBV infection.The subjects were divided into HBV carrier group (G0-G1 and S0-S1) and hepatitis group (G＞ 1 and/or S＞ 1) according to the pathological diagnosis. The relationships between different age subgroups, different ALT level subgroups and pathological diagnosis were analyzed. Meanwhile,other clinical,biochemical,and iconographic indexes which were possibly related to the pathology diagnosis were compared. The multivariate analysis was done by Logistic regression equation (withdrawal method, maximum likelihood method) to definite the independent influencing factors of pathologically diagnosed with chronic HBV carrier.ResultsAmong the 292 patients,140 (47.9％) were pathologically diagnosed with chronic HBV carries and 152 (52.1％)were chronic hepatitis B. There were statistical differences between ≤35 years group and 36-40 years,＞40 years group (x2 =3.936 and 8.534,respectively; P =0.047 and 0.003,respectively). There were statistical difference among patients with ALT＜0.5×upper limit normal (ULN),(0.5-1.0) ×ULN,(1.1-1.5) ×ULN,(1.6-2.0) ×ULN and ＞2.0 × ULN (x2 =55.314,P＜0.01),while there was no significant difference between (1.1-1.5) × ULN and ＞2.0 × ULN (x2 =3.810,P=0.051). Multivariate analysis indicated that course of disease,alcohol consumption,ALT,HBV DNA level and the surface of liver (smooth or not smooth)detected by ultrasonography were independent influencing factors of pathological diagnosis of chronic HBV carriers (OR =0.995,0.224,0.516,1.308 and 0.270,respectively; P=0.005,0.007,0.000,0.025 and 0.001,respectively).ConclusionLiver biopsy is much meaningful in patients with age ＞35 years old and ALT (1-2)× ULN.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of "healthy eating plate" based dietary management on diabetic inpatients. Methods: The patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) admitted to Daishan First People's Hospital from November 2019 to November 2020 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group was given "healthy eating plate" based dietary management, while the control group was given routine dietary management. Demographic data and physical examination results were collected. Fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were detected at admission, discharge and 3 months after discharge, and compared between the two groups by covariance and generalized estimating equation. Results: here were 52 patients aged (55.83±9.67) years in the intervention group, with 29 (55.77%) males and 23 (44.23%) females. There were 53 patients aged (57.54±11.09) years in the control group, with 32 (60.38%) males and 21 (39.62%) females. There were no significant differences in FPG, HbA1c, TG and TC levels between two groups at discharge (P>0.05). The level of HbA1c in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 3 months after discharge (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in FPG, TG and TC levels (P>0.05). Conclusion The "healthy eating plate" based dietary management can better control the blood glucose of diabetic patients, and can help maintain the dietary treatment. It is worthy of promotion in diabetic patients.

Objective To study the effect and mechanisms of berberine (BBR) on the proliferation of papillary thyroid cancer K1 cells induced by high glucose.Methods K1 cells were cultured under 5.5 mmol/L or 25 mmol/L glucose condition with or without different concentration of BBR (0,10,40 and 80 μmol/L) for 24 hours.The proliferations of K1 cells in each condition were detected by MTT.Western blot was used to measure the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrt2),phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K),protein kinase B (Akt) and phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt).The distribution pattern of Nrf2 in K1 cells was determined using immunofluorescent staining.Results Compared with 5.5 mmol/L condition,the proliferation rate [(126.64 ± 5.41) ％ vs (87.31 ± 3.67) ％],expression levels of PI3K (0.425 ±0.019 vs 0.272 ±0.039),p-Akt/Akt (0.446 ±0.021 vs 0.168 ±0.035) and Nrf2 (0.597 ± 0.014 vs 0.308 ± 0.026),and Nrf2 distribution (93.0％ vs 23.1％) in nuclear of K 1 cells under 25 mmol/L condition were significantly elevated,respectively (all P ＜0.01).Addition of BBR in 25 mmol/L condition dose dependently (10,40,80 μmol/L) lowered the proliferation rate of K1 cells [(111.76 ± 4.10)％,(70.03 ±2.18)％,(32.41 ±3.76)％ vs (126.64 ±5.41)％,all P＜0.05],and suppressed the expression of PI3K,p-Akt/Akt,Nrf2,and Nrf2 nuclear distribution (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions BBR dose dependently inhibited the proliferation of high glucose-induced K1 cells.This effect was associated with the suppression on of PI3K/Akt signaling activation,Nrf2 expression and its nuclear translocation.
