ObjectiveTo evaluate partial inferior vena cava (IVC) interruption and filter placement in the prevention of pulmonary embolism caused by lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT).MethodsAmong 44 cases of LEDVT, 10 cases underwent partial IVC interruption, 34 cases received IVC filter placement.Results7 out of 10 cases undergoing IVC occlusion experienced post operative relief of non-fatal pulmonary embolism symptoms with no perioperative mortality or severe complications.On follow-up of 8 months, 3 cases experienced non-lethal pulmonary embolism. 24 out of 34 filter placement cases had postoperative relief of pulmonary embolism symptoms with no perioperative mortality. 2 cases suffered from inhospital pulmonary embolism with one death. 20 cases were followed up for an average of 10 months without recurrence of pulmonary embolism. Conclusion Both partial IVC interruption and filter placement are safe and effective surgical procedures for the prevention of recurrence of pulmonary embolism. The result of filter placement is more favourable.

Objective To study the protective function of resveratrol on radiation-induced small intestine injury and lethal effect in mice.Methods Mice were randomly divided into three groups:irradiation (IR) control,IR only,and IR + resveratrol.15 mice each group were irradiated on abdomen with 7.2 Gy γ-rays for cell lethal assay and 8 mice each group were irradiated with 6.5 Gy for small intestine injury assay.For the IR + resveratrol group,the mouse was given resveratrol by intragastric administration 24 h before irradiation and then was fed with resveratrol daily for 5 days.The control and IR alone groups were fed with placebo.After 30 days of IR,mouse survival rate was detected.For small intestine injury experiments,24 h after IR,the mice were terminated and the small intestines were treated with HE and immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with the irradiation group,resveratrol increased mouse survival by 33.3％,decreased apoptosis in intestinal crypt cells (t =17.35,P ＜ 0.05),and increased Ki67 expression (t =13.62,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Resveratrol could protect small intestine injury from ionizing irradiation.

Objective:To investigate the differences in related indices of ulcerative colitis (UC) respectively induced by free drinking and intragastric administration of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in mice to provide experimental reference for the optimization of UC model.Methods:Totally 30 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the normal control group,free drinking group and intragastric administration group with 10 ones in each.The mice drank water freely with free drinking or intragastric administration of 3% DSS solution at the dose of 4 g·kg-1·day-1 for 7 days to establish the UC model.The differences in disease activity index (DAI),histological damage sore and activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) among the groups were compared.Results:Two mice died during the experiment in the free drinking group,and DAI of survival mice was (8.8±1.6).There was no death of mice in intragastric administration group,and DAI was (9.0±0.8),and there was no significant difference in DAI between the groups (P>0.05),while the coefficient of variation in the free drinking group was higher than that in the intragastric administration group (18.7 vs 8.6).The colonic histological damage score of the free drinking group and the intragastric administration group was 24.8±4.2 and 27.0±2.8,respectively,which was typical inflammatory change with no significant difference (P>0.05),while the coefficient of variation of the free drinking group was higher than that of the intragastric administration group (16.9 vs 10.4).MPO of the normal control group,free drinking group and intragastric administration group was (0.41±0.03),(2.32±0.34) and (2.05±0.18) U·g-1,respectively.Compared with the normal control group,significant difference in MPO was shown in the free drinking group and the intragastric administration group (P<0.01),while there was no significant difference in MPO between the groups (P>0.05),and the coefficient of variation in the free drinking group was higher than that in the intragastric administration group (14.7 vs 8.8).Conclusion:Both free drinking and intragastric administration of DSS can successfully induce the UC model in mice.Compared with the free drinking group,the intragastric administration group has low mortality rate and low coefficient of variation.Therefore,intragastric administration has more advantages than free drinking in inducing the UC model in mice.

Background Previous study on critical period plasticity in local cortical circuits primarily was only to test the role of some proteins in visual cortex on visual development based on the existed neural signals expression system,but whole containing proteins analysis in cortical circuits is lack.To perform a whole containing proteins analysis has an important significance for critical period plasticity study.Objective This study was to investigate the influence of dark rearing on visual sense and proteomics in visual cortex for growing rat.Methods Two SD female rats were fed in two cages together with 12 newborn rats on the same day respectively,and half number of newborn rats were exchanged each other from first day after delivering and marked by eartipping.The newborn rats in a cage were bred in the dark environment for 40 days,and newborn rats in other cage were bred in the nature environment as controls.The blink response of rats to nearby object was examined and compared between the two groups of rats.Then three rats from two cages were sacrificed respectively and bilateral primary visual cortex tissue was isolated.Proteomics in rat primary visual cortex was detected by two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry and the result was checked from database.Then the survival rats in the dark environment returned to the nature environment for 10 days,and the blink response of rats to nearby object were compared with that of agematched rats in the natural environment.The use and care of experimental rats followed the instruction of Ethic Committee of Nankai University.Results The blink response of rats was (0.33 ± 0.35) times in the dark environment for 40-day group,and that in the natural environment for 40-day group was (6.42±0.68) times,with a significant difference between them (t =24.38,P＜0.01).After returned to natural environment for 10 days,the blink response times of rats were less than those of the natural environment group ([5.00±1.22] times vs.[6.11±0.59]times),but this change was not statistically significant (t =2.09,P＞0.05).Two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry assay revealed that 36 different proteins in visual cortex were found in the dark-feed rats compared with the natural environment rats,including 26 loss proteins and 10 extra proteins.Among the different proteins,Eps 15 homology domain-containing protein-3 (EHD3),tubulin alpha-1A chain and 2 ',3 '-cyclic-nucleotide 3 ' phosphordiesterase were the known proteins.Conclusions Dark rearing cause reversible visual loss in critical period plasticity newborn rat,and the change of proteomics in visual cortex is probably an affecting factor.

Objective:To observe the effects of lentivirus-mediated shRNA silencing of PRL-3 gene on the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung cancer A549 cells and regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling pathway.Methods:Lung cancer A549 cells were transfected with lentiviral interference vector carrying PRL-3 shRNA to build a stable PRL-3-silencing cell line. The cells were divided into blank control group, NC shRNA group (negative control group) and PRL-3 shRNA group (PRL-3 inhibiting RNAi lentivirus group). CCK-8 method, colony formation assay, Transwell and invasion chamber assay were performed to detect the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of A549 cells respectively. The expressions of E-cadherin and Snail mRNA were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.Results:The stable PRL-3-silencing cell line was successfully constructed. The knockdown efficiency of PRL-3 gene in the PRL-3 shRNA group reached 83.5%. CCK-8 method detected the proliferation ability of A549 cells, and the results showed the 24 h absorbance ( A) values of A549 cells in the blank control group, NC shRNA group and PRL-3 shRNA group were 0.296±0.008, 0.342±0.007 and 0.292±0.004, with a statistically significant diffe-rence ( F=106.300, P<0.001), and the PRL-3 shRNA group was significantly lower than the NC shRNA group ( P<0.001); at 48, 72, 96 h after transfection, the cell proliferation abilities of the PRL-3 shRNA group were also significantly inhibited. Colony formation assay showed that the numbers of colony formation in the blank control group, NC shRNA group and PRL-3 shRNA group were 166.7± 6.7, 158.0±6.1 and 119.7±1.5 ( F=67.290, P<0.001). The ability of colony formation of the PRL-3 shRNA group was significantly lower than that of the NC shRNA group ( P<0.001). The numbers of migrated cells in the blank control group, NC shRNA group and PRL-3 shRNA group were 100.0±1.9, 98.8±1.9 and 44.6±7.6 ( F=430.300, P<0.001). The migration ability of the PRL-3 shRNA group was significantly lower than that of the NC shRNA group ( P<0.001). The numbers of invaded cells in the three groups were 117.7±4.1, 113.1±6.6 and 55.6±8.4 ( F=247.200, P<0.001). The invasion ability of the PRL-3shRNA group was significantly lower than that of the NC shRNA group ( P<0.001). Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR detection results showed that after silencing the expression of PRL-3, the relative expression level of E-cadherin mRNA in A549 cells was significantly up-regulated, and the level of Snail mRNA was significantly down-regulated. Conclusion:PRL-3 silencing can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells effectively. PRL-3 may affect the invasion of lung cancer cells through the EMT pathway.
