Aim To investigate Jaridonin′s selective killing of cancer cells and explore the related molecular mechanism. Methods After treatment by Jaridonin for 24 h, the effect of Jaridonin on the cell viability was examined using MTT assay. The effect of Jaridonin on cytomorphology and mitochondrial membrane poten-tial (Δψm) was observed by a fluorescence microsco-py. The apoptosis of cell lines treated with Jaridonin, as well as the level of reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) was analyzed by flow cytometry. Expression of the pro-teins related with mitochondria apoptosis pathways was detected by Western blot. Results Jaridonin caused strong antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on MGC-803 cells, but there were not remarkable effects on GES-1 cells. Furthermore, the expression of Bax was up-regulated, and the release of cytochrome c from mi-tochondria to cytosol was also promoted in MGC-803 cells treated by Jaridonin. The cleavage of caspase-3 in MGC-803 cells was also observed. Jaridonin increased persistently intracellular levels of ROS in MGC-803 cells, whereas the level of ROS in GES-1 rose in the first stage, and then decreased, and dropped to the basic level after 6 h. More interestingly, Jaridonin-in-duced ROS accumulation and the inhibition of MGC-803 cell proliferation were almost completely attenuated in the presence of GSH. Conclusions Jaridonin se-lectively kills cancer cells and induces apoptosis in MGC-803 through ROS-mediated mitochondrial dam-age.

Objective: To evaluate the fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation-Ⅱ (PFNAⅡ) for femoral intertrochanteric fractures involving the lateral wall. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of the 491 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture who had been treated from January 2013 to December 2017 at Department of Hip Surgery, Orthopedic Hospital, Affiliated Hospital to Panzhihua University. Of them, the lateral wall was involved in 104 (group A), 43 males and 61 females with an age of 72.3±2.1 years; their later wall fractures were classified as type Ⅰ (simple lateral wall fracture) in 45 cases, as type Ⅱ (fragmental lateral wall fracture) in 23 cases and as type Ⅲ (combined fracture of lateral wall and subtrochanter) in 36 cases. In the other 387 cases (group B), the lateral wall was not involved. They were 186 males and 201 females with an age of 74.7±1.5 years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of incision length, operating time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, postoperative weight-bearing time, Harris scores at the last follow-up and complications. Results: There were no significant differences between the 2 groups of patients in their preoperative general data, indicating they were compatible(P>0.05). All the 491 patients obtained an average follow-up of 25.5 months (from 12 to 50 months). The fracture healing time in group A (27.2±12.1 weeks) was significantly longer than in group B (13.1±2.2 weeks) and the rate of delayed union in the former (16.4%, 17/104) was significantly higher than that in the latter (2.3%, 9/387) (both P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in incision length (7.1±1.2 cm versus 6.5±2.2 cm), operating time (60.8±1.2 min versus 56.5±1.5 min), intraoperative blood loss (96.2±2.1 mL versus 92.1±2.4 mL), postoperative weight-baring time (2.5±2.1 d versus 2.1±2.9 d), the Harris scores at the last follow-up (83.3±2.3 versus 85.1±3.4) or incidence of other complications [5.8% (6/104) versus 4.7%(18/387)] (all P>0.05). Conclusion Femoral intertrochanteric fractures involving the lateral wall can be effectively treated by PFNA Ⅱ fixation, but they usually take longer time to get united than those without lateral wall fracture.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship of cathepsin L (CatL) with coronary heart disease (CHD), severity of coronary stenosis and risk factors of CHD. METHODS: A total of 137 CHD patients and 48 controls were included in the study, to determined the serum levels of CatL, high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP), fasting glucose (FBS), total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A1(Apo-A1) and apolipoprotein B. All the subjects were invited for a coronary angiography, using the sum of the Gensini scores to assess the severity of coronary artery stenosis. RESULTS: Serum CatL levels were significantly higher in CHD patients (5.63 +/= 0.12 microg/L) than non-CHD subjects (3.93 +/= 0.22 microg/L, P<0.01). CatL was an independent risk factor of CHD in Logistic regression analysis [Exp(B)=2.341, 95%CI 1.567 approximately 3.496, P<0.01]. Serum CatL levels were associated positively with the Gensini scores(r=0.228, P<0.01); In fact, CatL was an independent correlator of Gensini scores (P<0.05). CatL inversely associated with HDL-C (r=-0.228, P<0.01) and ApoA1(r=-0.187, P<0.05), and positively with FBS(r=0.161, P<0.05). CONCLUSION CatL is involved in the pathogenesis of CHD. Serum CatL levels could reflect the severity of coronary luminal narrowings. CatL might participate in glucose and lipid metabolic disorders.

Background: Gastric cancer is a common gastrointestinal malignant tumor. MiR-21 can regulate the expression of phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) protein and induce apoptosis of various tumor cells. Aims: To explore effect of miR-21 on proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of gastric cancer cells by targeting PTEN. Methods: SGC-7901 cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into miR-21 mimic group, miR-21 inhibitor group, negative control group and blank control group. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect mRNA and protein expressions of miR-21 and PTEN, respectively. The luciferase reporter gene assay was used to validate the targeted regulatory relationship between miR-21 and PTEN. Gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells were divided into blank control group, NC group, miR-21 group, PTEN group and miR-21+PTEN group. The proliferation activity was determined by CCK-8 assay, apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay, and invasion and migration ability of cells was detected by Transwell and scratch test, respectively. The expressions of Ki-67, PCNA, ratio of cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, PTEN, p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt proteins were detected by Western blotting. A tumorigenesis model of nude mice was established to detect the effect of overexpression of miR-21 on the volume and mass of transplanted tumor. Results: MiR-21 could negatively regulate expression of PTEN. Compared with NC group, cell proliferation, invasion and migration rates were significantly increased in miR-21 group (P<0.05), apoptosis rate was significantly decreased (P<0.05), expressions of Ki-67, PCNA, ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt proteins were significantly increased (P<0.05), expressions of PTEN and cleaved caspase-3 was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Cell proliferation, invasion and migration rates were significantly decreased in PTEN group (P<0.05), apoptosis rate was significantly increased (P<0.05), expressions of Ki-67, PCNA, ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt proteins were significantly decreased (P<0.05), expressions of PTEN and cleaved caspase-3 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with PTEN group, cell proliferation, invasion and migration rates were significantly increased in miR-21+PTEN group (P<0.05), apoptosis rate was significantly decreased (P<0.05), expressions of Ki-67, PCNA, ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt proteins were significantly increased (P<0.05), and expressions of PTEN and cleaved caspase-3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, overexpression of miR-21 significantly increased the volume and mass of transplanted tumor in nude mice (P<0.05). Conclusions: MiR-21 can negatively regulate PTEN expression, activate PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, promote proliferation, invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells, and inhibit cell apoptosis.

Accurate classification of the acetabular injuries and appropriate treatment plan are great challenges for orthopedic surgeons because of the irregular anatomical structure of the acetabulum and aggregation of important vessels and nerves around it. Letournel-Judet classification system has been widely applied to classify acetabular fractures. However, there are several limitations, including incomplete inclusion of fracture types, difficulty in understanding and insufficient guidance for surgical treatment, etc. Serious complications such as traumatic arthritis are common due to wrong classification and diagnosis and improper selection of surgical strategy, which brings a heavy burden to the society and families. Three-column classification, based on anatomic characteristics, has advantages of containing more fracture types and being easy to understand, etc. To solve the problems existing in the diagnosis and treatment process based on Letournel-Judet classification, achieve accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with acetabular fractures, and obtain satisfactory prognosis, the Orthopedic Trauma Emergency Center of Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University and the Trauma Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate the Expert consensus on the accurate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular fractures based on three-column classification ( version 2023) in terms of principles of evidence-based medicine. Based on the three-column classification, 15 recommendations were proposed, covering the diagnosis, treatment, complication prevention and management, etc, so as to provide reference for accurate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular fractures.
