Objective To evaluate the changes in the expression of acetylated histone H3 (Ac-H3) and deacetylase silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in dorsal root ganglions in a rat model of negative phenotype neuropathic pain.Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =24 each):sham operation group (group S) and C-fiber dysfunction group (group CFD).The rats were anesthetized with 10％ chloral hydrate 3 ml/kg.C-fiber dysfunction was induced by exposing sciatic nerve to 8％ capsaicin for 30 min in group CFD.The thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) and mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) were measured before and on 1,3,7 and 14 days after CFD.Six rats were then sacrificed at each time and the lumbar segments (L5) of the dorsal root ganglions were removed for detection of SIRT1 mRNA expression (by RT-PCR) and Ac-H3 and SIRT1 protein expression (by Western blot).Results Compared with group S,TWL was significantly increased at 1,3,7 and 14 days after CFD,SIRT1 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated and Ac-H3 expression was down-regulated at 3,7 and 14 days after CFD (P ＜ 0.05),while no significant change was found in MWT at each time point in group CFD (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of negative phenotype neuropathic pain is related to up-regulation of deacetylase SIRT1 expression and decreased acetylation of histone H3 in rat dorsal root ganglions.

In the reform of medical microbiology education on medical students of 8-year-education pro-gram, we compared the traditional teaching methods with Problem Based Learning (PBL) method. Through our practice, we have found that the combination of traditional lecture-based learning and PBL seems to better match the students’ way of learning. The lack of basic knowledge of the students hindered their learn-ing effect during the bilateral discussion in the PBL education. We also found that the application of PBL in medical microbiology education is an iterative process and should be promoted step by step. The theoretical level and the innovative ideas of the teachers play a crucial role in the dynamic process of education reform.

Objective To evaluate HSP90 levels in the diagnosis and staging of gastrointestinal tumors.Method Patients with gastrointestinal tumors hospitalized from 2014 January to 2015 April were enrolled in this study.Serum level of HSP90 was detected.Results The serum HSP90 level of cancer group(112 ± 74)was significantly higher than the control groups,the area under the ROC curve of HSP90's was 0.875 and the cut-off point was 63.63 with sensitivity of 76.1％ and specificity of 92.6％.The HSP90 level in gastric cancer group(135 ±73)ng/ml was the highest,in colon cancer group was (105 ± 60) ng/ml and in rectum cancer group was(79 ± 42)ng/ml (all P ＜ 0.05).Serum HSP90 levels in moderate and low differentiated adenocarcinoma were higher than well differentiated adenocarcinoma group (P ＜ 0.05).Serum HSP90 level was higher in tumors with submucosa and serosa infiltration (P ＜ 0.05).Those with lymphatic metastasis tend to have a higher serum HSP90 level than those without.Conclusion Serum HSP90 level has a good predictive value on gastrointestinal tumor diagnosis,and it is correlated with tumor staging and infiltration status.

Objective To investigate the difference of tumor cell proliferation between the center and the edge tissues of human colon cancer and its relationship with the expression and methylation of p16 and p14 gene.Methods The expression of Ki67,P14 and P16 protein was assessed by immunohistochemistry,methylation status and mRNA expression of p16 and p14 gene in different area of colon cancer tissue were analyzed by methylation-specific PCR.RT-PCR and microdissection technique. Results There was significant difference in expressions of Ki67 between the center(100.0%) and the edge (30.1%) tissue in 42 cases of colon cancer(P

Objective To study the expression of Livin,a novel inhibitor of apoptosis protein(IAP)family member in children with acute lymphocytic leukemia(ALL).Methods Livin protein of 40 cases myeloid tissue of children with ALL and 20 cases that of non-leukemia children were assayed by streptomycin avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex staining immunohistochemical method in order to analyze the relationship between Livin protein expression and development of ALL.Results The positive rates of Livin protein expression was 40% in 40 cases ALL,but in control group,the positive rates of Livin protein expression was 5%.The difference of 2 groups was significant(P

Objective To study the expression of novel inhibitor of apoptosis protein(IAP) family member livin gene and its two isoforms(livin ? and livin ?) in brain tissue of children with gliomas.Methods Livin ? and Livin ? mRNA were detected by real time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) in brain tissue of 30 children with gliomas and 12 healthy children.Result The positive rate of Livin mRNA expression was 83.3%(25/30 cases)in 30 cases of children with gliomas,the positive rate of Livin mRNA was only 8.3%(1/12 case) in normal brain tissue,there was significant difference in 2 groups(P

Objective To study the correlation of multi-slice CT portography (MSCTP) and digestive endoscopy in the diagnosis and evaluation of esophageal and gastric varices (EGV) caused by cirrhosis.Methods A total of 92 patients with cirrhosis were enrolled in the prospective study.All the patients were examined by endoscopy and 64-slice spiral CT scan in 4 weeks.The types,grading of EGV were observed by endoscopy and MSCTP,and Kappa conformance test was applied with the endoscopic findings as gold standard.The sensitivity,specificity,consistency,and Youden index were evaluated for the diagnosis of sophageal and gastric varices by MSCTP.Results Sixty-five patients were diagnosed to have EGV by endoscopy and 27 were negative.The positive patients included 45 patients of GOV1,19 of GOV2 and 1 patient of IGV1.MSCTP diagnosed 67 cases of EGV and 25 patients of negative results.The positive patients included 46 of GOV1,18 of GOV2 and 3 of IGV1.Two patients of IGV1 varicose veins without positive findings on endoscopy were diagnosed by using MDCTP,which revealed isolated varicose veins under the gastric mucosa.There was high consistency between MSCTP and EGV in the diagnosis of EGV (Kappa =0.732,P ＜ 0.01).The sensitivity of MSCTP was 93.8％,specificity was 77.8％,consistency was 89.1％,and Youden index 71.6％.There was high consistency between MSCTP and EGV in the classification of EGV (Kappa values were 0.743 and 0.763,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions There is high consistency between MSCTP and digestive endoscopic in the diagnosis and classification of EGV in cirrhosis.MSCTP is superior to endoscopy in the detection of gastric varices.

Objective To study the efficacy and mechanism of compound Tripterygium hypoglaucum Hutch (THH) on photoallergic contact dermatitis in mice. Methods The photoallergic animal model of BALB/c mice was established by using photosensitizer chlorpromazine and UVA irradiation. The therepeutic efficacy was determined by measuring the thickness and the weight of the swelling ear and the number of infiltrated mononuclear cells in the ear tissue. Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the ICAM-1 expression on keratinocytes, fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells. The serum level of INF-? was measured by ELISA. The tested animals were divided into 3 groups: compound THH, THH alone and normal saline. Results The difference of the thickness of left ear before and after challenge, the differences of the thickness and the weight of ear tissue, the difference of the number of infiltrated mononuclear cells of left and right ear after challenge were significantly less in the compound THH group than those in the THH alone group (P

Objective To explore the expression of transforming growth factor ?1(TGF-?1)in the mucosa of guinea pigs with otitis media with effusion(OME)and the role of TGF-?1 in the development of OME.Methods 70 guinea pigs were randomly devided into 7 groups,each with 10 animals.OME was produced by injecting deactivated streptococcus pneumoniae into the typmpanic cavity of guinea pigs.The expression of TGF-?1 was examined by means of immunohistochemistry 6 h,1 d,3 d,7 d,14 d and 30 d after injection.Results TGF-?1 expression could be detected in the middle ear mucosa at 7 d after injection and reached maximum at 30 d.Conclusion TGF-?1 is expressed in the middle ear mucosa of the guinea pigs with OME induced by deactivated streptococcus pneumoniae,and this indicates that TGF-?1 may play a role in the chronic protraction of OME.
