Objective To explore the role of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1) during renal senescence by using human TIMP-1 transgenic mice.Methods Renal histological changes of wild type mice and transgenic mice at the age of 3,12,24 months were observed by periodic acid-schiff(PAS)staining of paraffin sections.The numbers of F4/80 positive cells were detected by immunofluoreseence.The protein expressions of TIMP-1,TIMP-2,matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-9,MMP-2,intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1),transforming growth factor?1(TGF-?1),collagenⅢand collagenⅣwere detected by Western blot.The activities of gelatinases and TIMP-1 were examined by gelatin zymography and reverse zymography respectively.Results Focal renal fibrosis was found in two genotypes with aging.At the age of 24 months,compared with wild type,in kidneys of transgenic type,the expressions and activities of gelatinases were dowregulated (MMP-2:2.08?0.20 vs.3.39?0.43;MMP-9:4.02?0.82 vs.6.72?1.40,all P<0.05);the expressions of collagenⅢ,collagenⅣ,ICAM-1,and TGF-?1 were upragulated(0.72+0.11 vs.0.57?0.09;0.84?0.13 vs.0.6?0.11,0.72?0.12 vs.0.53?0.07; 0.69?0.12 vs.0.45?0.09,all P<0.05),and the numbers of F4/80 positive cells were increased (18.8?4.4 vs.12.7?3.6,P<0.05)with the upregulated expression and activity of TIMP-1(1.10?0.18 vs.0.62?0.09;50.75?7.25 vs.20.64?3.50,P<0.05).Conclusions TIMP-1 could promote age-related renal fibrosis through enhancing inflammation reaction by ICAM-1 upregulation.

Objective To investigate the reliability of the Three-Column classification for fracture of tibial plateau and compared with the conventional Schatzker classification.Methods From December 2004 to March 2007,304 patients with tibial plateau fracture were treated in our department.The CT scans and 3D reconstruction were performed in all patients before operation.All the patients were classified by the Three-Column classification and then treated with open reduction and internal fixation via the corresponding approaches based on the Three-Column classification.To validate the Three-Column classification,four doctors classified 50 patients which were chosen randomly from 323 consecutive fracture cases.Schatzker classification was also classified at the same time.Inter-observer reliabilities of the Three-Column classification and the Schatzker classification were figured out respectively in the form of Kappa value.Results According to the Three-Column classification,there were 4 pure compression fractures (1.2%),181 one-column fractures(56.0%),108 two-column fractures(33.4%) and 30 three-column fractures (9.3%) in all 323 cases.In one-column fracture cases,the numbers of lateral,medial,and posterior column fractures were 114 (63.0%),53 (29.3%),and 14 (7.7%),respectively.Among two-column fracture cases,the lateral-medial column fractures (33.3%) were 36.While the number of medial-posterior column fractures and lateral-posterior column fractures were 34 (31.5%) and 38 (35.2%),respectively.There was a moderate inter-observer reliability when using Schatzker classification (Kappa=0.567; range,0.513-0.589).There was a substantial interobserver reliability when using the Three-Column classification (Kappa=0.766; range,0.706-0.890).Conclusion The Three-Column classification based on CT and 3D reconstruction is simple and more reliable for fracture of tibial plateau.It is suggested that the new classification system,the Three-Column classification,can be used and popularized in the orthopaedic surgery.

Objective To explore the difference of four calculating methods used to determine the obesity. Methods Two thousand four hundred and forty six (2446) men and three hundred and seventy nine (379) women were measured height and body mass, Standard body mass, BMI, body fat ratio and obesity index(OI) were calculated with formula. According to the BMI≥ 25 kg/m2 , BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 and BMI≥28 kg/m2, the obese adults were 1419,680 and 435 respectively;there were 649 adults that their body mass was over 20%standard body mass; there were 639 adults that their body fat ratio was over 25%(male)and 33%(female). Results For obesity determination, the adults who were 20%overweight and over standard body fat ratio were significantly different from those whose BMI were over 25 kg/m2 ( P<0. 05 ) ;Those who were 20%overweight and over standard body fat ratio were not significantly different from those whose BMI were over 27 kg/m2 ( P>0.05 ) ; Those who were 20%overweight and over standard body fat ratio were significantly different from those whose BMI were over 28 kg/m2 ( P<0. 05 ). Conclusion Determining obesity with BMI≥27 kg/m2 is feasible and rational.
8.Over-expression of caveolin-1 inhibits proliferation and invasion of pancreatic carcinoma cells in vitro.
Chinese Journal of Oncology 2009;31(10):732-737
OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of caveolin-1 on the biologic behavior of pancreatic carcinoma cell line panc1 cells in vitro.
METHODSEukaryotic expression vectors containing human caveolin-1 gene was stably transfected into panc1 cells with Lipofectamine2000. The clones stably overexpressing caveolin-1 were identified by real-time PCR and Western plotting. The cell growth activity was examined by MTT assay. Anchorage-independent growth was detected by colony formation assay in soft agar. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle and apoptosis. Cell invasion assay was used for evaluating cell invasion capacity. The relative phosphorylation level of EGFR, c-Raf, Mek, Erk, p38 and SAPK/JNK were detected by Western blotting.
RESULTSThree transfected cell clones overexpressing caveolin-1 were obtained. Comparing with the panc1 cells, the transfected cells exhibited a slower growth rate and formed fewer colonies in soft agar. The results of flow cytometry showed that over-expression of caveolin-1 resulted in the cell cycle arrest at G(0)/G(1) phase and increased the apoptotic cell fraction. Cell invasion assay showed that overexpression of caveolin-1 significantly inhibited the panc1 cell invasion. Western blotting results showed that overexpression of caveolin-1 reduced the phosphorylation of EGFR, c-Raf, Mek and Erk while did not affect the activity of p38 and SAPK/JNK.
CONCLUSIONOver-expression of caveolin-1 inhibits the growth and invasion of pancreatic carcinoma cells in vitro. These phenotypes may be correlated with the inhibition of EGFR-c-Raf-Mek-Erk signaling pathway.
