Objective To study the effects and mechanisms of resveratrol (Resv) on the expression of adiponectin receptors ( AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 ) in rat mesangial cells (MCs) cultured in intermittent high glucose medium.Methods The MCs cultured in normal glucose ( 5.6 mmol/L) medium were transfected by the plasmid vector of the FoxO1 short hairpin RNAs ( FoxO1 shRNA ),and then cultured in intermittent high glucose medium (5.6mmol/L or 30 mmol/L,alternately every 8 hours ) and resveratrol ( Resv 20 μmol/L).The MCs cultured in normal glucose (5.6 mmol/L) medium served as normal glucose control group (NG),and the MCs exposed to iutermittent high glucose medium were divided into five groups:intermittent high glucose group (IHG),IHG+Resv group,IHG+FoxO1 shRNA group,IHG+ Resv + FoxO1 shRNA group,IHG + Negative control group ( shNC ),each group was cultured for 72 h.The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was assessed by Fluorescence microplate reader.The mRNA levels of Sirt1,Foxo1,AdipoR1,and AdipoR2 were assessed by RT-RCR.The protein levels of FoxO1,phosphorylation FoxO1 ( p-FoxO1 ),AdipoR1,and AdipoR2 were assessed by Western blotting.Results ( 1 )Compared with NG,intermittent high glucose significantly decreased the mRNA expression of Sirt1,but markedly increased the level of p-FoxO1.Furthermore,the mRNA and protein expression levels of AdipoR1 were obviously decreased while the level of ROS was enhanced in IHG ( all P<0.05 ).(2) Compared with IHG,the mRNA and protein expression levels of FoxO1 and AdipoR1 were inhibited,but the level of ROS was enhanced in group IHG+FoxO1 shRNA ( all P<0.05 ).( 3 ) Compared with IHG,after treating with Resv,the mRNA expression level of Sirtl was increased,whereas the level of p-FoxO1 was decreased.Moreover,the mRNA and protein levels of AdipoR1 was increased while the level of ROS was lowered in group IHG+Resv (all P<0.05 ).(4) Compared with group IHG+Resv,the mRNA and protein levels of FoxO1 and AdipoR1 were inhibited,but the level of ROS was increased in group IHG+Resv+FoxO1 shRNA (all P<O.05).(5) In addition,the mRNA and protein expression level of AdipoR2 showed no significant difference among these groups ( P>0.05 ).Conclusion ( 1 ) Resveratrol significantly increases the expression of AdipoR1 in MCs induced by intermittent high glucose.( 2 ) FoxO1 plays an important role in regulating the expression of AdipoR1 by resveratrol.

Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were treated with resveratrol for 12 weeks.Compared with group of diabetic rats without treatment,the levels of urine albumin,serum creatinine,and blood urea nitrogen were significantly decreased and pathological changes in kidney were improved in treatment group ( P<0.05 ).The mRNA expressions of FoxO1 and catalase were higher and FoxO1 phosphorylation level in diabetic rats treated with resveratrol was lower than that in diabetic rats without treatment (P<0.05),suggesting that resveratrol may protect the kidneys of diabetic rats via regulating expression of FoxO1.

Objective To investigate the effects of protein active composition of Scorpio on apoptosis of L1210 tumor cells for the purpose of establishing the quality evaluation method of biological effect of Scorpio. Methods L1210 cells were examined by trypan blue exclusion. The proliferation of cells was determined by improved MTT assay. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze cell apoptosis with propidium iodide (PI). Results When the concentration of protein active composition of Scorpio exceeded or equaled 37 mg/ml, the coefficient correlation of the growth inhibiting curve of L1210 cells was 0.9357, and IC50 was 175 mg/ml. The excellence time was 0 to 48 hours. When the concentration of protein active composition of Scorpio exceeded or equaled 9.25 mg/ml, the apoptosis ratio of L1210 cells was raised significantly.Conclusion The protein active composition of Scorpio might promote the apoptosis and restrain the proliferation of L1210 cells. The value of anti-tumor biological effect of the protein active composition of Scorpio was 9.25 ~ 175 mg/ml. This value may be one of the indexes for quality evaluation of biological effect of Scorpio.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and surgical treatment of malignant intracranial teratomas.
METHODSThirty-four patients with intracranial teratoma proved by histopathology were treated by operation. The growth pattern of this tumor, assessed by its clinical manifestations and neuroimaging together with surgical treatment and results were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTSOnly 6 lesions had been correctly suspected as teratoma before surgery. Total removal was achieved in 14 patients with a operative mortality of 32.4%. The survival of 23 patients with lesions showing aggressive growth was significantly different from those without (P < 0.05). Nineteen of these patients did not survive beyond the sixth month after surgery.
CONCLUSIONAccurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult in malignant intracranial teratoma, especially for patients with the tumor in the sella region. The invasive biological behavior of the tumor is proved to be the main cause of surgery being dwarfed. Protection of the hypothalamus and brainstem, relief of hydrocephalus are the crucial points in surgical treatment. Comprehensive histopathologic examination combined with serum and CSF tumor marker detection is necessary for correct diagnosis and treatment.

ObjectiveTo study the efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with tumor thrombus in the main trunk and/or first branch of portal vein,and to clarify prognostic factors affecting survival.Methods From 2005 to 2009,there were 358 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent surgical resection in our Department.In 55 patients (15 %),portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) was found intraoperatively or postoperatively during histopathological examinations to involve the first portal branch,main portal trunk,or contralateral portal branch.In this retrospective study,these 55 patients were divided into two groups:Group A,29 patients received postoperative TACE,and Group B,26 patients who did not receive TACE.The clinical data and survivals were compared between the two groups.Prognostic factors were indentified using univariate analysis,followed by multivariate regression analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the demographic clinical data between Group A and Group B.The overall 1-,2- and 3-year survivals for the 55 patients were 63.3 %,51.4 % and 43.5 %,respectively.The accumulative 1-,2- and 3-year survivals for group A were 71.4 %,60.1 % and 50.1 %,respectively.The corresponding figures for group B were 56.7%,21.7% and 10.4%,respectively.Multiple tumors,intrahepatic metastases,hepatic vein thrombus,and invasive type of tumor thrombus were found to be risk factors for short-term survival on univariate analysis,while the latter 3 factors were further found to be significant prognostic factors in the Cox proportional hazards model.Postoperative TACE was shown to be a significant factor in both univariate and multivariate analyses.ConclusionLiver resection was beneficial for some patients with portal vein tumor thrombus.Postoperative TACE further improved the prognosis and prolonged survivals in these patients.
