Objective:To investigate the expression of myocardium connexin 43 (Cx43) in late exercise preconditioning (LEP) cardioprotection.Methods: Eight-week-old adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into four groups (n=8). Myocardial injury was judged in accordance with serum levels of cTnⅠ and NT-proBNP as well as hematoxylin basicfuchsin picric acid staining of myocardium.Cx43mRNA was detected byin situhybridization and qualified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Cx43 protein was localized by immunohistochemistry and its expression level was determined by western blotting.Results:The LEP obviously attenuated the myocardial ischemia/hypoxia injury caused by exhaustive exercise. There was no significant difference of Cx43mRNA level between the four groups. Cx43 protein level was decreased significantly in group EE (P<0.05). However, LEP produced a significant increase in Cx43 protein level (P<0.05), and the decreased Cx43 protein level in exhaustive exercise was significantly up-regulated by LEP (P<0.05).Conclusions:LEP protects rat heart against exhaustive exercise-induced myocardial injury by up-regulating the expression of myocardial Cx43.

In recent years, the study of autophagy in spinal cord injury (SCI) gradually becomes the hot spot. However, the function of autophagy in the injured spinal cord is still controversial. In order to further understand the role of autophagy after SCI, we summarized the activation of autophagy, autophagic cell death, the relationship between autophagy and apoptosis, the function of autophagy in promoting the molecular metabolism and the role of autophagy after spinal cord injury. We concluded that the role of autophagy after SCI is a double-edged sword. Upregulating the level of autophagy appropriately can promote damaged proteins metabolism and inhibit apoptosis. However, excessive activation of antophagy may induce autophagic cell dealth. So we consider that the proper regulation of autophagy will be a new target in the treatment of SCI.

Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was performed in the streptozotocin- and high fat-induced diabetic rats and normal rats.The results of RT-PCR and Western blot showed that the expression of 11?- hydroxysleroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11?-HSD1) was higher in the diabetic rats than that in control and was correlated with fasting plasma glucose,insulin and AUC-I/G with respective correlation coefficient (r) of 0.870, - 0.799,- 0.850,suggesting that increased expression of 11?-HSD1 appears to damage?-cell function through magnifying the local effect of glucocorticoids.

Objective To investigate cause analysis and treatment strategy of cage migration after lumbar interbody fusion.Methods Retrospective study was performed on 9 cases with cage migration after lumbar interbody fusion from January 2009 to February 2015 in our hospital.There were 4 males and 5 females,and mean age was 61.6 years (rang,38-75 years).The types of cage included Titanium metal cage used in 3 cases,cylindrical thread cage in 1 case and PEEK cage in the other cases.Bilateral instrumented posterior lumbar interbody fusion was found in 7 cases,and unilateral fixation in 2 cases.Analyze the risk factors of cage migration and the strategies of revision surgery,and evaluate the radiological outcomes and clinical efficacy of revision surgery.Results Risk factors of cage backward migration are as follows:nucleus pulposus left too much in 6 cases,poor cartilage endplate resection in 4 cases,small size of cage selection in 5 cases,unsatisfied cage placement in 2 cases,and improper operation in 1 case.Follow-up survey was fulfilled in all patients,the follow-up time was 6 to 32 months,and bony union was detected in all patients.No cage re-migration,non-fusion,or loosen pedicle screw was found during follow-up period.Clinical symptoms were all improved after revision.Conclusion The causes of cage migration after bilateral or unilateral instrumented transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion were complicated.Risk factors of cage migration may be poor intervertebral space preparation,small cage size,and improper cage placement,which may be not associated with unilateral fixation.Excellent or good radiological outcomes and clinical efficacy depend on a reasonable revision surgery.

Objective:This study aimed to establish an eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost) model that can predict the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)patients after laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) surgery.Methods:A total of 440 patients with primary HCC who received LH treatment for the first time from January 2013 to September 2016 in Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University were selected as the research objects. The diagnosis method was pathological diagnosis. Research objects were divided into training group ( n=88) and verification group ( n=352) at a ratio of 2∶8 by random number table method. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the recurrence-free survival curve, and the Log-rank test was used to compare the survival of the two groups; the training group was used to establish the COX regression model and the XGBoost model to screen independent predictors of recurrence after LH; receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive abilities of the two models, and conducted internal verification in the verification group; Hosmer and Lemeshow Test was used to evaluate the calibration of the two models, and P>0.05 was used as a good fit between the model and the actual situation. Results:Both the COX regression model and the XGBoost model screened out tumor thrombus, low degree of differentiation, tumor microvascular infiltration (MVI), number of tumors, large tumors, and positive hepatitis B surface antigen were independent predictors of tumor recurrence( HR=2.477, 0.769, 1.786, 1.905, 1.544, 1.805; 95% CI: 1.465-4.251, 0.619-0.819, 1.263-2.546, 1.354-2.704, 1.272-1.816, 1.055-2.555). The XGboost model scores were 32 points, 29 points, 24 points, 18 points, 16 points, 11 points, respectively. In the training group, the area under the curve (AUC) of the COX regression model and XGBoost model for predicting recurrence were 0.746 (0.730-0.762) and 0.802 (0.785-0.818), respectively. The XGBoost model had strong predictive ability and was confirmed in the validation cohort. Conclusions:This study had established and verified the XGBoost model that can predict the recurrence of HCC patients after receiving LH for the first time. It can be used in clinics to assist doctors in formulating personalized postoperative monitoring programs for patients. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of tumors and strengthening of postoperative follow-up are important measures to improve the prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of in utero exposure to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) on the apoptosis of testicular cells in the pubertal male rat offspring.
METHODSTen pregnant SD rats were randomly divided into a control and an experimental group to be treated intragastrically with olive oil (1 ml per day) and DBP (500 mg per kg of body weight per day) respectively between gestation days 12 and 19. At the pubertal age (postnatal day 45, PND 45), the testes of the male rat offspring were removed for observation of the cell structure under the transmission electron microscope and the development of different spermatogenetic cells by HE staining. The apoptosis of testicular cells was detected by the TUNEL method, the expressions of the apoptosis-regulating proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, Bax and p53 were determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot, and the data obtained were compared between the two groups by t-test.
RESULTSTransmission electron microscopy revealed increased apoptosis and vacuolization of testicular cells in the PND-45 rat offspring, HE staining showed markedly decreased numbers of different spermatogenetic cells, TUNEL manifested significantly increased apoptosis of testicular cells in the experimental group as compared with the control (12.00 ± 5. 22 vs 3.17 ± 1.47, P < 0.01), and immunohistochemistry and Western blot exhibited remarkably higher expressions of Bax and p53 in the former than in the latter group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONIn utero exposure to DBP can increase the apoptosis of germ cells and Sertoli cells, induce the vacuolization of testicular cells, and significantly elevate the expressions of the apoptosis-promoting proteins Bax and p53 in the pubertal male rat offspring.
