1. Study of Cajal interstitial cells in intestine of rats with liver cirrhosis
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2006;27(1):65-67
Objective: To observe the changes of Cajal interstitial cells(CIC) in the intestine of rats with liver cirrhosis, so as to study the mechanism of gastrointestinal dysfunction. Methods: Twenty Wistar rats were equally randomized into control group and cirrhosis model group. Cirrhosis model was established by CCl4 in rats. The intestinal motility changes were assayed using Dextran blue-2000 as an indicator. Immunohistochemical staining was used to investigate the distribution of c-kit positive CIC in jejunum of rats. Meanwhile, the ultrastructure of CIC was observed by electron microscope. Results: Compared with control group, the intestinal motility and the c-kit positive CIC in jejunum were both markedly decreased in model group(both P< 0.01). The CIC, with less organelles and dissovled cytoplasm, had decreased connections with other cells and damaged structure. Conclusion: The intestinal motility of rats with liver cirrhosis is significantly decreased, which may be associated with the changes of CIC number and ultrastructure in intestine.

Objective: To assay minimal biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) of various extraction compounds from Galla Chinensis to 5 oral bacterial biofilms, and then to set up traditional Chinese medicine empirical study methods of pharmacodynamic susceptibility. Methods:5 cariogenic bacteria strains were selected (Streptococcus mutans ATCC25175, Streptococcus sanguis ATCC10556, Lactobacillus rhamnosus AC413, Actinomyces naeslundii WVU627, Actinomyces viscosus ATCC19246) in present study. Various extraction compounds of Galla Chinensis were GCE (aqueous extract), GCE-B(300 ml/L alcohol extract), GCE-C(500 ml/L acetone extract),GCE-D(1 000 ml/L acetone extract), gallic acid and methyl gallate. ①Observed oral bacterial biofilm formation in MBECTM-Device at different-time-stages. ②MBECTM -HTP-Assay:The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) of various extraction compounds of Galla Chinensis on 5 oral bacteria strains were determined. Results:5 oral bacterial biofilm were readily formed on the lid of MBECTM-Device under selected condition (observed by SEM). 5 oral cariogenic bacteria growing as planktonic populations were sensitive to 6 extraction compounds of Galla Chinensis. When compared to 6 extraction compounds of Galla Chinensis, 5 oral cariogenic bacterial biofilm were 2-16 times less susceptible than growing planktonic bacteria. GCE and GCE-B are the most effective medicine against 5 oral cariogenic bacterial biofilm. GCE-C and GCE-D were effective in killing oral-bacterial biofilm at relatively high concentration, but gallic acid and methyl gallate were less effective.Conclusion:GCE and GCE-B are the most effective medicine against 5 oral cariogenic bacterial biofilm of 6 extraction compounds from Galla Chinensis. MBEC can provide a relatively accurate medicine concentration for clinical test.

AIM:To study the expression of microRNA (miRNA)-181a in different human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, and to investigate the effect of miRNA-181a on cell function and its mechanism in human lung adenocarcinoma drug resistant cell A549/DDP.METHODS:Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miRNA-181a in BEAS-2B cells, A549 cells and A549/DDP cells.The A549/DDP cells were transfected with pGenesil-miRNA-181a eukaryotic ex-pression plasmid.At the same time, the untransfection group and negative transfection group were also set up .The expres-sion of miRNA-181a, cell viability, cell growth inhibition and apoptosis rate during cis-diamminedichloroplatinum ( DDP) treatment, cell cycle, cell invasion, the protein expression of miRNA-181a target genes bcl-2 and p53 in the A549/DDP cells were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR , MTT assay, flow cytometry, Transwell method and West-ern blot, respectivly.RESULTS:The expression of miRNA-181a in A549 cells and A549/DDP cells was significantly lower than that in BEAS-2B cells, and the lowest expression level was observed in A 549/DDP cells (P<0.05).The expression of miRNA-181a in A549/DDP cells was significantly increased after transfection with pGenesil-miRNA-181a (P<0.05).The cell viability, cell cycle and invasion ability of the A549/DDP cells were inhibited after miRNA-181a transfection (P <0.05).The cell growth inhibition rate and apoptotic rate of the A 549/DDP cells were increased (P<0.05).The expression of Bcl-2 was reduced, but the expression of P53 was increased after transfection with miRNA-181a in A549/DDP cells (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: miRNA-181a may be correlated with the development of human lung adenocarcinoma .miRNA-181a can serve as a new target for treatment of lung cancer .

Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of diabetes self-management education through telemedicine on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Methods Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that assessed the effectiveness of remote diabetes self-management education in patients with diabetes were systematically reviewed using multiple electronic databases. The searching time was from database establishment to May 2015. These articles were analyzed after evaluation of their quality. Results Eight RCTs were included involving 2 047 patients.The results of Meta-analysis showed the effectiveness of remote DMSE on reduction of HbA1c of patients with type 2 diabetes was more significant than that of the control group [WMD=-0.50,95%CI (-0.88,-0.12),P < 0.05],while failing to support the effectiveness of remote DMSE on patients with type 1 diabetes [WMD=0.62, 95%CI(-0.19,1.43), P>0.05]. Conclusions Remote DMSE is effective to improve the glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes,while the effect on patients with type 1 diabetes is still not certain. Large-scale and multi-centered RCTs are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

Background The alteration of dominance eye is associated with visual quality in patients with age-related cataract or after cataract-surgery.However,the study on the relationship of dominance eye shift with vision following cataract-surgery is lack.Objective This study was to observe the influence of age-related cataract and cataract surgery on ocular dominance in the elderly.Methods A serial cases-observational study was designed.Eighty-seven patients with age-related cataract were collected from December 2011 to April 2012 in Affiliated Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University,and phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was performed in all the patients.The patients were grouped into binocular vision difference (best corrected distance vision) ≥2 lines group (42 patients) and ≤ 1 line group (45 patients) on the standard logarithmic visual acuity chart.The frequency and shift of dominant eye were determined by card-hole method or thumb method before operation and 1 day,1 week,1 month and 3 months after operation.The difference in the frequencies of dominant eye between before and after operation was analyzed with MecNmar test.Results The median of best corrected distance vision (LogMAR) was 0.40 (0.00-1.40) in preoperation and 0.00 (-0.08-0.30) in postoperation,with significant difference between them (Z=-9.481,P =0.000).In the binocular vision difference ≥ 2 lines group,the dominant eyes were 24 in the right eyes and 18 in the left eyes.The milder cataractous eyes were identified as dominant eyes in 33 (78.57%) patients and heavier cataractous eyes were determined as dominant eyes in 9 (21.43%) patients before operation.However,the right eye was evidenced as dominant eye in 31 patients and the left eye was in 11 patients after operation.In the 42 patients,dominant eye shifted from the left eyes to the right eyes in 10 patients and from the right eyes to the left eyes in 3 patients,and 4 patients presented an unstable change binocularly.In 45 patients of the binocular vision difference ≤ 1 line group,the dominant eyes were the right eyes in 27 patients and the left eyes in 18 eyes in preoperation ; while after operation,dominant eye altered form the left eyes to the right eyes in 3 patients and form the right eyes to the left eyes in 1 patient,and unstable change occurred in 5 patients.There were no significant differences in the frequency of dominant eyes between before and after operation both the two groups (group A:P =0.092 ; group B:P =0.727).Conclusions Age-related cataract impact on eye dominance.Dominance eye may occur alteration binocularly following cataract surgery,which is one of causes of visual discomfort.
