OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of indometacin on apootosis and proliferation of cervical cancer Hela cell. METH-ODS:Hela cell was cultured in vitro as study object,and cultured with 0(blank control),200,400,600,800 and 1 000 μmol/L indometacin for 24,48 and 72 h. The inhibitory rate of indometacin to the proliferation of Hela cells was detected by MTT assay. After treated with 0(blank control),400,600 and 800 μmol/L indometacin for 24 h,the change of cellular morphology was ob-served by invert microscope;cell cycle phase and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESUITS:Indometacin of 600, 800,1 000μmol/L could inhibit the proliferation of Hela cell,which was positively correlated to drug concentration and time. Com-pared with blank control,indometacin could induce that Hela cell transformed from polygonous to round in appearance,and result-ed in cell apoptosis and necrosis;the proportion of cells at G0/G1 phase increased,while the proportion of cells at S phase reduced;the apoptotic rate of cells raised. CONCLUSIONS:Indometacin could inhibit the proliferation of Hela cell,block cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and induce apoptosis.

Objective To explore the risk factors affecting prognosis of invasive fungal infection .Methods The clinical data of 208 hospitalized patients diagnosed with invasive fungal infection in Sun Yat-sen memorial hospital from 2007 to 2011 were reviewed . The factors affecting prognosis were determined by univariate and logistic regression analysis .Results The fatality rate of adult inpa-tient with invasive fungal infection was 21%.The univariate analysis showed that difference of seven indicators was significant between the survive group and death group:advanced age (over 60 years old), hospitalization time,fasting plasma glucose level, hypoalbumin-emia, using more than two kinds of broad spectrum antibiotic for more than two weeks , kinds of invasive operations , and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome ( MODS) .Binary logistic regression showed that the difference of five indicators was significant between the two groups:advanced age (over 60 years old), hypoalbuminemia, using more than two kinds of broad spectrum antibiotic for more than two weeks, kinds of invasive operations , and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome .Conclusions The indicators such as advanced age (over 60 years old), hypoalbuminemia, the use of more than two kinds of broad spectrum antibiotic for more than two weeks , kinds of invasive operations , and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome might be independent risk factors of death in patients with invasive fungal infection.Early medical intervention should be made in clinical work , in order to reduce fatality rate of patients with invasive fungal in-fection.

Objective To observe the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the expressions of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), fibronectin(FN),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in rats with diabetic nephropathy(DN), and to elucidate the protective mechanism played by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Methods DN models were estabolished by injecting streptozotoein ( STZ ) into male SD rats, which were divided into TGF-β1 overexpression group, TGF-β1 overexpression plus vitamin D3 group, TGF-β1 low-expression group, TGF-β1 low-expression plus vitamin D3 group, TGF-β1 normal-expression group, and TGF-β1 normal-expression plus vitamin D3 group. After 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment for 37 days, renal function and blood biochemical parameters were evaluated. The morphology and fibrosis of kidney tissues were observed. The expressions of TGF-β1, FN, and VEGF in kidney cortex were measured by immunohistochemistry, realtime PCR, and Western blotting. Results The levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, creatinine,plasma glucose, HbA1C , and 24 h urinary protein were lower in vitamin D3treated groups than those in corresponding control groups(P<0. 05). The degree of renal fibrosis was raised with the increased level of TGF-β1. Vitamin D3 treatment decreased the fibrosis in diabetic kidney. There were significant differences in the mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 in three control groups(P<0. 05). With the increased levels of TGF-β1, the expressions of FN and VEGF were increased. The expressions of TGF-β1, FN, and VEGF were lowered by vitamin D3compared with the corresponding control groups(P<0. 05). Conclusion 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 may protect the renal tissure in diabetic rats via inhibiting the expressions of TGF-β1, FN, and VEGF in the kidney.

Cosmetics containing plant extracts may pose health risks to consumers due to inadequate control over the quality of plant raw materials,which may lead to residues of pesticides such as carbendazim in cosmetics. Developing rapid detection methods is of paramount importance for regulating product quality and safeguarding human health. A rapid on-site analytical method was developed for the screening of six kinds of pesticide residues in plant extract-based cosmetics using fan-shaped paper spray ionization with chromatographic enrichment functionality coupled with a miniature mass spectrometer. Cosmetic samples were directly loaded onto the fan-shaped paper substrate drop by drop,followed by chromatographic enrichment,paper spray ionization,and the miniature mass spectrometry analysis. The entire analysis time for a single run was less than 1 min. By loading samples in a dropwise manner,significantly improved chromatographic enrichment on the tip and 6 to 32-fold signal enhancement were achieved on the fan-shaped paper substrate compared to traditional triangle-shaped paper substrate. The limits of detection (LODs) and quantitation (LOQs) for the six kinds of pesticides were 0.02-0.05 mg/kg and 0.05-0.10 mg/kg,respectively. The recoveries were 82.6％-101.8％ with relative standard deviations of 8.3％-16.5％. The established method was convenient,sensitive,and suitable for rapid,on-site screening of pesticide residues in plant extract-based cosmetics.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a multi-dimensional peripheral quick contrast sensitivity function (pqCSF) measurement established based on Bayesian probability estimation algorithm.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Nineteen eyes of 12 healthy emmetropic subjects in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University from September 2017 to March 2018 were included, with an average age of (22.92±2.91) years.The average spherical power and cylindrical power were (-0.34±0.52)D and (-0.30±0.42)D, respectively, and the average uncorrected vision acuity was≥1.0.Based on the Bayesian probability algorithm, the peak contrast sensitivity γ max, the peak spatial frequency ? max, the bandwidth β and the low contrast intercept δ were used to quickly describe the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) curve of the full spatial frequency through multi-dimensional pqCSF method.The 16 peripheral visual field positions of all subjects were tested at 6°, 12°, 18° and 24° eccentricity of the superior, inferior, the temporal and nasal visual field by the pqCSF method, but the 18° eccentricity of temporal field, which was near the physiological blind spot, was excluded.The area under Log CSF (AULCSF) of different peripheral visual fields and the Log CSF of 19 spatial frequencies (distributed at equal intervals in logarithmic units) were compared.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki, and the study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University (No.2018KYPJ017). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to any examination. Results:With the increase of eccentricity in different visual fields, the AULCSF decreased gradually, and there were significant differences in AULCSF between different eccentricities (all at P<0.05). The AULCSF of the nasal and temporal visual field at 6°, 12° and 24° eccentricity was significantly larger than that of the superior and inferior visual field (all at P<0.05). As the distance from the fovea was increased, the pqCSF, the AULCSF, and the high-frequency cutoff were all decreased, and the standard deviation of AULCSF was increased gradually. Conclusions:The pqCSF method can depict a relatively complete peripheral CSF curve of a wide peripheral visual field, and reflect the function quality of the peripheral vision comprehensively and accurately.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of 3D printing-assisted hematoma puncture and drainage in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and to explore the factors affecting postoperative brain dysfunction.Methods:A retrospective Case-control study was conducted to select 168 hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage patients who were treated with 3D printing assisted hematoma puncture and drainage in the People′s Hospital of Yuechi County from January 2020 to September 2022 as the observation group, and 125 hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage patients who were treated with CT guided hematoma puncture and drainage in the People′s Hospital of Yuechi County at the same time as the control group. The clinical efficacy of the two groups of patients was compared. According to the occurrence of postoperative brain dysfunction, the patients in the observation group were divided into normal brain function group ( n=121) and brain dysfunction group ( n=47). The clinical data of age, preoperative cerebral hernia, blood loss, ventilator-assisted ventilation, postoperative Glasgow coma index score (GCS) and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting postoperative brain dysfunction in the observation group, and a line chart model was constructed and its predictive efficiency was evaluated. The measurement data of normal distribution is expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and independent sample t-test is used for inter group comparison. Chi-square test was used for comparison between count data groups. Results:The proportion of the drainage tube in the hematoma, hematoma clearance rate at 3 and 7 days after surgery, total effective rate of treatment, and GCS score at 1 week after surgery in the observation group were 88.69%(149/168), 54.17%(91/168), 96.43%(162/168), 92.86%(156/168), and 10.72±3.45, respectively, the control group was 75.20%(94/125), 36.80%(46/125), 81.60%(102/125), 76.80%(96/125), and 9.08±3.22, respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Advanced age ( OR=1.983, 95% CI: 1.169-2.732, P=0.017), preoperative cerebral hernia ( OR=1.532, 95% CI: 1.113-2.139, P=0.029), bleeding volume ≥ 50 mL ( OR=2.538, 95% CI: 1.802-3.347, P=0.003), postoperative GCS score 3-5 ( OR=2.874, 95% CI: 2.265-3.449, P<0.001), postoperative hypoxemia ( OR=2.251, 95% CI: 1.673-2.842, P=0.010) and postoperative chronic hydrocephalus ( OR=1.642, 95% CI: 1.214-2.021, P=0.022) were risk factors for postoperative brain dysfunction, while ventilator-assisted ventilation ( OR=0.656, 95% CI: 0.132-0.828, P=0.038) was protective factors. The internal verification of the line chart model by Bootstrap resampling method shows that the model has high differentiation, accuracy and validity. Conclusion:The application of 3D printing-assisted localization in hematoma puncture and drainage can improve the puncture condition and the hematoma clearance rate and clinical effect of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Advanced age, preoperative cerebral hernia and bleeding volume are related to postoperative brain dysfunction. Clinical attention should be paid to patients with risk indicators of postoperative brain dysfunction.

Objective To evaluate the role of sirtuin 3 ( SIRT3)∕forkhead box O3α ( FOXO3α) signaling pathway in dexmedetomidine-induced reduction of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion ( I∕R) injury in mice. Methods Forty clean-grade C57BL∕6 mice of both sexes, aged 2 weeks, weighing 6-8 g, were di-vided into 4 groups (n＝10 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group S), hepatic I∕R group ( group I∕R), dexmedetomidine group ( group D) and SIRT3 inhibitor 3-TYP plus dexmedetomidine group (group T+D). Portal vein and hepatic artery supplying left and middle lobes of the liver and biliary tract were clamped resulting in ischemia of 70% of the liver in anesthetized rats. Normal sa-line 0. 25 ml was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before establishing model, and 30 min later dexmedetomi-dine 50 μg∕kg (diluted to 0. 25 ml in normal saline) was intraperitoneally injected in group D. In group T+D, 3-TYP 5 mg∕kg (diluted to 0. 25 ml in normal saline) was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before estab-lishing model, and 30 min later dexmedetomidine 50 μg∕kg (diluted to 0. 25 ml in normal saline) was in-traperitoneally injected. Mice were selected at 6 h after reperfusion, blood samples were obtained through eyeball, and the mice were then sacrificed and kidneys were removed for determination of the serum concen-trations of creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), cell apoptosis (by TUNEL), malondialdehyde (MDA) content (using thiobarbituric acid method), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (by xanthine oxidase method), and acetylation of FOXO3α in renal tissues (by using immunoprecipitation) and for ex-amination of the pathologic changes. The damage to renal tubules was scored. Apoptosis index ( AI) was calculated. Results Compared with group S, the renal tubular damage score and AI were significantly in-creased, serum concentrations of Cr and BUN were increased, the content of MDA was increased, the ac-tivity of SOD was decreased, and the acetylation of FOXO3α was decreased in I∕R, D and T+D groups ( P＜0. 05). Compared with group I∕R, the renal tubular damage score and AI were significantly decreased, serum concentrations of Cr and BUN were decreased, the content of MDA was decreased, the activity of SOD was increased, and the acetylation of FOXO3α was decreased in group D (P＜0. 05), and no signifi-cant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group T+D (P＞0. 05). Compared with group D, the renal tubular damage score and AI were significantly increased, serum concentrations of Cr and BUN were increased, the content of MDA was increased, the activity of SOD was decreased, and the acetylation of FOXO3α was decreased in group T+D ( P＜0. 05). Conclusion Activation of SIRT3∕FOXO3α signaling pathway is involved in dexmedetomidine-induced reduction of hepatic I∕R injury in mice.

Objective:To identify the differentially expressed proteins that caused hippocampal damage after liver ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods:Eighteen clean-grade healthy juvenile male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2 weeks, weighing 20-30 g, were divided into 2 groups ( n=9 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group) and liver I/R group (IR group). A rat model of liver I/R injury was prepared by restoring perfusion after 1 h of liver ischemia. The rats were sacrificed after being anesthetized at day 3 of reperfusion, and the hippocampal tissue was isolated and analyzed to obtain gene expression profiles. Differentially expressed genes were identified using the R software, and further protein interaction networks were constructed through Cytoscape and Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes and Genomes pathway analysis to determine the differentially expressed proteins. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used for validation. Results:A total of 45 differentially expressed proteins were identified by the proteomic analysis of hippocampal tissues, including 36 significantly up-regulated proteins and 9 significantly down-regulated proteins. The proteins with significant expression related to injury were identified from the PPI network complex using the CytoHubBA plug-in cystscape: Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate (RAC2), HRAS, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase inhibitor phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN), and N-methyl-D-aspartate ionotropic glutamate receptor 2b (GRIN2b). The results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot showed that the expression of RAC2, HRAS, PTEN, and GRIN2b in the hippocampal tissue was significantly up-regulated in IR group compared with S group ( P<0.05). The results of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that differentially expressed proteins were significantly enriched in the expression of PD-L1 and its checkpoint pathway, long-term potentiation, and regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway in cancer. Conclusions:The mechanism by which liver I/R induces hippocampal injury may be related to the up-regulation of the expression of RAC2, HRAS, PTEN and GRIN2b in rats.
