In the previous study, a high-throughput screening method was established to find the antagonists of CD36. In the present study, a new compound named IMB-1680 was found using this method. The anti-atherosclerotic activities of IMB-1680 were then evaluated. Dose-dependent activities of IMB-1680 were detected by using Sf9 [hCD36] and CHO [hCD36] models. Fluorescence microscopic photography and flow cytometry were used to analyze uptake of mLDL. Foam cell test with RAW264.7 macrophages was used to examine lipid accumulation. The results showed that IMB-1680 inhibited CD36 activity with IC50 of 2.80 and 8.79 micromol x L(-1) in Sf9[hCD36] and CHO [hCD36] cells, respectively. Fluorescence microscopic photography and flow cytometry revealed that IMB-1680 could significantly reduce DiI-AcLDL uptake. Meanwhile, IMB-1680 also could reduce lipids accumulation in RAW264.7 macrophages. In all, the data indicated that IMB-1680 might be a potent effective anti-atherosclerotic leading compound.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of 1, 25-(OH)2D3 on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in type 2 diabetic rats.

METHODSType 2 diabetic mellitus (DM) model rats were established by intraperitoneally injecting with 30 mg/kg streptozotocin. After 8 weeks, 19 male rats were identified as diabetic with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) by ultrasound examination, and randomly assigned into three groups: untreated (DM-LVH, n=7), treated with insulin (DM-LVH+INS, n=6), and treated with 1, 25-(OH)2D3 (DM-LVH+VD, n=6). Healthy male rats were used as the controls group (n=6). The fasting blood glucose and the insulin level were determined weekly. The left ventricular mass index, myocardial collagen content, collagen volume fraction, and 1, 25-(OH)2D3-receptor level were determined by 4 weeks later.

RESULTSIn the DM-LVH model group, the insulin level was significantly decreased compared with the non-diabetic control group (P<0.05), whereas the blood glucose, left ventricular mass index, myocardial collagen content, collagen volume fraction, and 1, 25-(OH)2D3-receptor expression were significantly increased (all P<0.05). In the DM-LVH+INS and DM-LVH+VD groups, the insulin levels were significantly increased compared with the DM-LVH model group (P<0.05), whereas the other parameters were significantly decreased (all P<0.05).

CONCLUSION1, 25-(OH)2D3 could reverse LVH in diabetic rats and that the mechanism may involve stimulating insulin secretion and reducing blood glucose via direct up-regulation of 1, 25-(OH)2D3-receptor expression.

Objective · To explore influencing factors associated with the hydration status in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods · Eligible PD patients treated in Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from September 2016 to January 2017 were enrolled.Demographic data of patients were collected and biochemical indexes were measured.Their peritoneal transport characteristics and dialysis adequacy were evaluated.Hydration status index overhydration (OH) value was measured with bioimpedance spectroscopy.Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the independent factors associated with the OH.Results · A total of 147 PD patients with a median age of 58.52 years and a median PD duration of 43.03 months were enrolled.Of them,90 (61.2％) were male,21(14.3％) were accompanied by diabetes mellitus,and 107 (72.8％)were overhydrated (OH＞1.1L).Compared to those with normal hydration status (OH ≤ 1.1 L),the overhydrated patients had higher proportion of diabetes,BSA,Charlson comorbidity score,brain natriuretic peptide (BNP),4 h D/Pcr,and 24 h dialysate protein,and lower tKt/V,serum albumin than the normal hydrated patients (all P＜0.05).Multivariate linear regression showed that comorbid diabetes mellitus (P=0.000),higher 4h D/Pcr (P=0.000),and lower serum albumin level (P=0.001) were independent relevant factors for the increase of OH.Conclusion· Overhydration is common in PD patients.Comorbid diabetes mellitus,higher 4 h D/Pcr,and lower serum albumin are independent relevant factors for the hydration status in PD patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of exogenous wild type p53 (wtp53) gene on radiosensitivity of human lung adenoeareinoma cell line under hypoxia. Methods Human lung adenoeareinoma cell line A549 was transfected with adenovirus carrying recombinant exogenous wtp53. Four irradiation groups were studied : normal cell ( Group A), wtp53 transfeeted cell ( Group B ), normal cell under hypoxia (Group C) and wtp53 transfected cell under hypoxia( Group D). Ceils were irradiated with 9 MeV electron beams. Cellular survival fraction was analyzed. Multi-target single-hit model was used to plot the survival curve. D0,Dq ,oxygen enhancement ratio(OER) ,sensitizing enhancement ratio(SER) and other parameters were used to evaluate the effects of wtp53 gene on radiosensitivity of A549. The cell apoptotie rate of each group was examined by flow eytometry. Results OER was 1.75 and O. 81 before and after wtp53 transfeetion. SER was 1.77 in oxic circumstance and 3.84 under hypoxia. The cell apoptotie rate of Group A and B was lower than Group C and D(F=7.92 ,P=0.048) ,with Group A lower than B and Group C lower than D (F=82.50,P=0.001). But Group B and D were similar(t=2.04,P=0. 111). Conclusions Hypoxia can increase the radiation resistance of lung adenoeareinoma cell line .4,549. The wtp53 can promote apoptosis and improve tumor radiosensitivity,especially under hypoxia.

Objective To explore the effects of timing of enteral nutrition (EN) in the severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods The rabbit model of SAP was constructed,and 40 experimental rabbits were divided randomly into the experimental group (20 rabbits) and the control group(20 rabbits).(1) The parenteral nutrition (PN) was administered to rabbits in the experimental group,and then EN was administered after bowel sound restoration.(2) EN was administered to the rabbits in the control group at hour 12 after PN.The values of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 on post-modeling day 1,3 and 7 and intra-abdominal pressures at hour 1 before EN and on post-modeling day 1 and 3 were respectively examined.The experimental animals were sacrificed on post-modeling day 7 and 10.The expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) was detected by immunohistochemistry and bacteria from mesenteric lymph nodes were cultured.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as (x) ± s.The trend comparison between groups and pairwise comparison were analyzed using the repeated measures ANOVA and t test.Results The 40 rabbit models of SAP were constructed successfully.(1) The results of serum test showed that the values of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 in the experimental group on post-modeling day 1,3and 7 were (6.9 ±2.1)ng/L,(5.9 ± 1.8) ng/L,(5.3 ± 1.8) ng/L and (109 ± 17) ng/L,(96 ± 16) ng/L,(83 ± 17)ng/L and (89 ±20)ng/L,(78 ±21)ng/L,(70 ± 19)ng/L,respectively.The values of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 in the control group on post-modeling day 1,3 and 7 were (7.4 ± 1.5) ng/L,(7.1 ± 1.6) ng/L (6.8 ±1.7) ng/L and (101 ± 19) ng/L,(98 ± 18) ng/L,(93 ±20) ng/L and (91 ± 14) ng/L,(91 ± 16) ng/L,(83 ±19)ng/L,respectively.There were significant differences in the changing trends of TNF-α and IL-6 between the 2 groups (F =7.947,19.386,P ＜ 0.05),with no significant difference in the changing trend of IL-8 between the 2 groups (F =2.756,P ＞ 0.05).(2)The intra-abdominal pressures in the experimental group at hour 1 before EEN and on post-modeling day 1 and 3 were (3.5 ± 1.6) cmH2O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa),(4.3 ± 1.7) cmH2Oand (3.6 ± 1.8) cmH2O,which were significantly different from (4.9 ± 1.9) cmH2O,(5.7 ± 2.2) cmH2O and (4.5 ± 1.6)cmH2O in the control group (F =7.042,P ＜0.05).(3) The expression of NF-κB in the tissues of pancreas was localized mainly in the cell nucleus.The expression of NF-κB in the experimental group on postmodeling day 7 was 5.0 ± 2.7,which was significantly different from 7.0 ± 2.9 in the control group (t =2.236,P ＜ 0.05).(4) The amount of bacteria culture from mesenteric lymph nodes in the experimental group on postmodeling day 7 and 10 were (4.7 ±0.9) × 103 cfu/g and (4.1 ±0.7) × 103 cfu/g,which were significantly different from (5.5 ± 1.0) × 103 cfu/g and (4.6 ± 0.7) × 103 cfu/g in the control group (t =2.382,2.126,P ＜0.05).Conclusion The selective timing of EN can effectively improve the recovery of rabbits with SAP,and the efficacy of EN administering based on the recovery of bowel function may be better than immediate EN administering.

Objective To study the impact of antiviral therapy on patients with postoperative intrahepatic recurrence of hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,65 patients with HCC who were managed in our hospital from January 2004 to December 2011 for intrahepatic recurrence and had indications for antiviral treatment were included into this study.The patients were divided into two groups ; the antiviral and the control groups.Relevant data between these two groups such as cumulative survival after recurrence,Child-Pugh grade,HBV-DNA,HBeAg,AFP at the time of recurrence and 6 months later were studied.An analysis on multiple-factors was carried for survival after recurrence at 2 years.Results When compared with the control group,the antiviral group had better cumulative survival in all the cases and in the TACE cases (P ＜ 0.05 respectively).The cumulative survival in the RFA cases was not significantly different between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).A comparison was carried out in patients who received antiviral therapy which was combined with one or more other therapies (TACE,RFA,reoperation):(a) antiviral therapy only (8 patients) ; (b) combined with one therapy (22 patients) ; (c) combined with two therapies (10 patients) ; (d) combined with three therapies (2 patients).All P values of a:b,a:c,a:d,b:c,b:d were less than 0.05.The blood HBV-DNA of the two groups was significantly different at the time 6 months after recurrence (P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed the 2-year survival was significantly correlated with recurrent tumor size,primary tumor class,antiviral therapy or not after recurrence,presence of absence of cirrhosis.All P values were less than 0.05.Conclusions Antiviral therapy had remarkable clinical impact on HCC patients with postoperative intrahepatic recurrence and with indication for antiviral treatment.Patients had better prognosis if antiviral therapy was combined with one or more other therapies.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Shenmai injection on rats with acute edematous pancreatitis (AEP) and its mechanism.Methods The model of AEP in rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of caerulein every one hour for 7 times.One hour after last injection,intravenous Shenmai injection (5 ml · kg-1 · d-1) was given to rats in Shenmai injection treatment (SI) group,while same amount of normal saline was given to rats in control (AEP) group.One hour and 1,3,5,7 d after AEP induction,the blood was taken,and the method of double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of amylase,platelet activating factor (PAF),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).The rats were sacrificed at 7 and 14 d,and pancreatic tissue samples were harvested.RT-PCR and Western Blot were used to determine the expression of NF-κB mRNA and protein,and normal pancreatic tissue samples were used as control.The positive expression of CD31 in pancreatic tissue was determined by immunohistochemical method to calculate microvascular density (MVD).Results The serum levels of amylase and PAF in both groups were increased and gradually decreased 3 days later,while the decrement in SI group was greater than that of AEP group.At the 5th day after AEP induction,the serum levels of amylase in SI group and AEP group were (4569 ± 158),(5056 ± 198) U/L,and the serum levels of PAF were (25.30 ± 4.76),(36.06 ± 5.57)μg/L,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The serum levels of VEGF were increased 1 d after AEP induction,and the increase in SI group was greater than that of AEP group 3 d later,and the serum levels of VEGF were (139.78 ±24.30),(118.51 ±21.70)pg/ml at 5th day,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The expression levels of NF-κB mRNA and protein of pancreatic tissue in SI group were O.834 ±0.031 and 0.49±0.24,and MVD was 6.41 ± 1.14,while the corresponding values in AEP group were 1.000 ± 0.059,0.93 ± 0.45,3.62 ± 0.89,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions In the course of acute pancreatitis,Shenmai injection has the therapeutic effects of promoting new angiogenesis,improving the microcirculation,reducing the inflammatory cascade.
