AIM: To identify the changes in microRNA ( miRNA ) profile of human lens epithelium ( HLE) induced by H2 O2 and the role of miRNA in oxidative stress induced apoptosis.
METHODS: HLE cell line HLE - B3 was treated by 100μmol/L H2 O2 for 24h and the total RNA were isolated by Trizol reagent. miRNA profile was generated by miRCURYTM LNA microRNA Array. The target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted by bioinformatics software.
RESULTS:Twenty-eight miRNAs showed significantly differential expression after H2 O2 treatment, 18 miRNAs upregulated and 10 miRNAs downregulated. The differentially expressed miRNAs may involve in apoptosis of lens epithetium and development of cataract through targeting BCL2L2 and MIP.
CONCLUSION: H2 O2 can induce dramatically changes in miRNA profile of HLE, which may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and development of cataract.

Local low oxygen pressure caused by low air pressure in the altiplano results in many physiological and neuropsychological problems. For people moving from low-altitude regions to the altiplano, monitoring and improving indoor air quality, enriching its oxygen content are effective measures to ameliorate sleeping quality, psychosis, work efficiency and general health. Ergonomics has a brilliant prospect in enriching oxygen content of indoor air in the altiplano.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the methodology of percutaneous transluminal stenting for stenosis of internal carotid artery(ICA).Methods83 patients with ICA stenosis greater than 85% received antiplatelate therapy perioperatively, and underwent cerebral vascular angiography as well as cervical Doppler sonography. Four kinds of stents were used with or without predilation.ResultsThere were not procedure related morbidities. All procedures were successful based on angiography. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) restored to normal or significantly improved. Symptoms disappeared in 56 cases and ameliorated in 27 cases. Follow up by angiography and sonography at 3 to 24 months showed no distortion of stents and restenosis. ConclusionsPercutaneous transluminal stenting combined with perioperative medical therapy is a safe therapeutic method for stenosis of internal carotid artery.

Doctors ought to belong to a social stratum with fairly high incomes. The high input and long cycle that is essential to becoming a high-caliber doctor constitute the high costs of the medical profession; high technology, high responsibility and high sacrifices constitute the high risks of the medical profession; the contrast between the input of high intelligence, high academic degree, and high expertise and the output of low economic income tends to warp the minds of doctors. The inversion of the burden of proof in medical lawsuits has practically put doctors on the weak side. Their rights and interests as well as their practice circumstances have been disregarded. For the sake of the development of the health cause, it is imperative to respect the labor of doctors and to provide them with sound survival circumstances.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Danhong injection combined with metoprolol tartrate tablets on cardiac arrhythmia in climacteric women.Methods Retrospective a total of 115 patients with arrhythmia in The First People’s Hospital of Guiyang from May 2014 to May 2016 were divided into the western medicine treatment group and the traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group.Western medicine treatment group were treated by metoprolol tartrate tablets, the traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group were treated by Danhong injection combined with metoprolol tartrate tablets.The effect of two groups of patients after two months of treatment were observed,the heart rate variability,heart function index,sleep quality and the incidence of adverse reaction rate were compared between two groups of patients before and after treatment .Results After treatment,the effective rate of the traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group was 98.33%, higher than the western medicine treatment group (P<0.05);the levels of SDNN,SDANN,RMSSD and PNN50 (%) were significantly higher in the the traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group than those in the western medicine group (P<0.05);the levels of SV,LVPS and LVEF in the traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group were higher than that in the western medicine treatment group ( P <0.05 );the sleep quality of the traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group was significantly improved compared with the western medicine treatment group(P<0.05);the abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting,fatigue and cough incidence were no difference between the two groups.Conclusion Danhong injection combined with metoprolol tartrate tablets arrhythmia in menopausal women has a better therapeutic effect ,can obviously improve the patients with heart rate variability and cardiac function and adverse reactions occurred rate is low.

Objective:To explore the clinical application in urinary system stones of the inspection technologies intravenous pyelography (IVP),computer tomography urography (CTU) and magnetic resonance urography (MRU). Methods:We collected 100 cases of urinary system stones on which 80 were carried out to IVP,60 to CTU and 35 to MRU,25 patients were implemented all 3 examinations. CTU and MRU are reconstructed with multi-level reorganization (MPR),curved projection reproduction (CPR),volume reproduction (VR) and the maximum intensity projection (MIP). Results:Stones were found in 73 patients of the 80 people by IVP,the diagnosis rate is 91.3 %. Stones were found in all the 60 patients except 1 by CTU with images direct and accurate,the diagnosis rate was 98.1 %. By the MRU,stones were found in 20 of the 35 patients at a display rate of 57.1 %,with images displayed in a low stone location signal,filling defect and the hydrocele circs of renal pelvis and ureter. Conclusion:IVP is a simple method,easy-to-patient acceptance and has a high detection rate of stones; CTU has a good image quality and the detection rate is higher than the stone IVP. By combining with the original cross-sectional image,the rate of diagnosis is up to 98%; as a non-invasive and no contrast agent approach,MRU is also very important in the diagnosis of stones.

Objective To investigate whether unfolded protein response (UPR) plays a role in the pathogenesis of spondyloarthritis (SpA),and to assess UPR-related gene expression in SpA and other arthritis patients.Methods Eighteen patients with SpA,12 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 6 with osteoarthritis (OA) were recruited.Macrophages were isolated from synovial fluid samples by immunomagnetic separation.The expression of UPR-regulated genes,including binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP),glucose-regulated protein 94 (GRP94),C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP),growth arrested and DNA damage-inducible 34 (GADD34),X-box binding protein 1 (XBP-1) and endoplasmic reticulum DnaJ homolog 4 (ERdj4),was tested by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results Compared with macrophages in OA patients,the expression of BiP and GRP94 mRNA [(6.06 ± 2.08) × 10-2 vs (1.11 ±0.72) × 10-2 for BiP mRNA,11.80(7.30-38.40) × 10-3 vs 1.27(1.02-4.18) × 10-3 for GRP94 mRNA,both P values ＜0.01] was significantly increased in macrophages in SpA patients.XBP1 mRNA was up-regulated [(12.70 ± 5.20) × 10-3 vs (4.14 ± 2.56) × 10-3,p ＜ 0.01] in SpA group as well.UPR-regulated gene expression in SpA patients with HLA-B27 positive or HLA-B27 negative was similar.However,none of UPR-regulated genes showed different expression between the SpA group and RA group except for GADD34 mRNA [7.30 (5.56-15.40) × 10-3 vs 21.30 (12.20-27.60) × 10-3,P =0.009].Conclusions Our data suggest that UPR possibly participates in the pathogenesis of SpA,although the relationship between HLA-B27 and UPR still needs further investigation.

Objective To determine the involvement of DNA demethylation in tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)-induced matrix metalloproteinase 9 ( MMP9) expression in human epidermal keratinocytes. Methods Real-time RT-PCR, Western blot, and enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to determine the mRNA and protein levels of MMP9 after human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) cells were treated with 10 ng/ ml TNF-α or 2. 5 μmol/ L DAC/ 300 nmol/ L TSA. Bisulfite sequencing PCR ( BSP) and Methylation-sensitive high-resolution melt analysis ( Ms-HRM) were used to detect significantly differentially demethylated CpG sites in the human MMP9 promoter region in cells exposed to TNF-α. Different sites methylation constructs of promoter-luciferase reporter gene were made to detect the influences of site-specific DNA demethylation on transcription activity of MMP9 promoter. Results Compared with PBS-treated control, TNF-α significantly increased the expression of MMP9 in HaCaT cells for indicated culture duration ( P < 0. 05 ). Real time PCR, Western blot, and ELISA analysis demonstrated that the mRNA and protein levels of MMP9 were increased initially, followed by a decline with prolonged incubation time. After TNF-α treatment, varied degrees of DNA demethylation occurred at 10 CpG sites in the promoter of MMP9, and the changes at the -36 bp site were statistically significant (P<0. 05). The demethylation at the -36 bp site greatly increased the transcription activity of MMP9. Conclusion TNF-α promotes MMP9 expression in HaCaT cells through inducing -36 bp site DNA demethylation on the promoter of MMP9.
