Necroptosis, or programmed cell death, is a type of cell death with a controllable death signaling pathway and the morphological features similar to necrosis.It is mainly mediated by death receptors or pathogen pattern re-cognition receptors.Among them, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1)-mediated necroptosis is the most well-studied one.Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) are the 2 key kina-ses involved in the formation of complex I & II and necrosome in the process of necroptosis.Phosphoglycerate mutase 5 ( PGAM5) , a member of phosphoglycerate mutase gene family, lacks PGAM activity and possesses the phosphatase activi-ty.PGAM5 is anchored in the mitochondrial membrane and is also called mitochondrial phosphoglycerate mutase 5.It has been shown that PGAM5 involves in the formation of necrosome during necroptosis and it is able to accelerate the fission of mitochondria by dephosphorylation of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), thus promoting cell necroptosis.

Objective: To determine the expression of complement regulatory proteins (CRPs) C1-INH, MCP (CD46) in the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis rats and to study the role of CRPs in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis. Methods: Nine healthy SD rats were sensitized and intranasally challenged with ovalbumin and Al(OH)3 (as supplement) to establish allergic rhinitis models and another 9 SD rats treated with saline were taken as control. The nasal mucosa in respiratory area of both groups was obtained. Then Western blotting was performed to investigate the expression levels of C1-INH and CD46. Results: Western blotting showed that both C1-INH and CD46 had been detected in rat nasal mucosa. Expression level of CD46 in the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis was significantly higher than that in control rats(P<0.01); whereas the level of C1-INH was lower than that in control rats(P<0.05). Conclusion: It is suggested that both C1-INH and CD46 maybe involved in the pathogenesis of rat allergic rhinitis. The regulatory role of CRPs may be related to the classical pathway of complement activation.

Objective To observe the changes of systolic time interval after neonatal asphyxia and explore its relationship with clinical manifestation and prognosis. Methods Tow-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography were employed to detect tow - dimension parameters and left and right ventricular STI in 27 mild and 18 severe asphyxiated neonates as well as 14 normal controls and its relationship with clinical manifestation and prognosis was analyzed. Results There was no difference in cavity and thickness of heart and great arteries between normal and asphyxiated neonates. In acute stage mild and severe asphyxiated neonates had a shorter right ventricular ejection time (RVET) than normal neonates and a longer right ventricular prejection period (RPEP) was found in severe neonates than that in normal and mild asphyxiated neonates. Left ventricular preejection time (LPEP) was prolonged in comparison with normal neonates in acute stage and convalescence. There were more cases with increased RPEP/RVET in severe asphyxiaed group than those in mild and normal group in acute stage. The incidence of heart failure in acute stage and disability in late period was higher in cases with increased RPEP/RVET than that with normal RPEP/RVET. Conclusion Asphyxia has more severe damage to right ventricle than that to left ventricle. Cases with increased RPEP/RVET are prone to suffering from heart failure in acute stage and more likely to undergo disability in late period.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for hydronephrosis caused by retroper-itoneal fibrosis.Methods Reported the diagnosis and treatment procedure and result of 1 case of hydronephrosis caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis on left side,who underwent laparoscopie surgery.Investigated the feasibility of hydronephrosis caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis with literature review.A 55-year-old female patient had interrupt-able left lower extremity swollen with nausea and vomiting for five months.The blood test showed progressive eleva-ting of creatinine and urea nitrogen.The highest creatinine value was 503 μmol/L.The computerized tomography showed renal atrophy on right side and there was a stenosis on crossing place between inferior segment on left ureter and iliac blood vessels,also there is a soft tissue image in front of aorta and around iliac blood vessels,the superior ureter was dilated.We set double J tube into left ureter before surgery with semi-reclining position toward right side,set trocar cannula through 1 era,4 em below the umbilicus as well as the same two points on lateral external oblique muscle of abdomen,set laparoscope from 1 cm below the umbilicus.We found the abdominal membrane pale and touch as tabular.There was serious eonglutination between middle segment ureter and around iliac blood vessels after we cut open retroperitoneal membrane.We carefully dissected the ureter for 9 cm and soluted the eonglutination a-round the ureter,then set the ureter into abdominal cavity and closed retroperitoneal membrane.Results The pa-tient recover well after surgery and sutured out after 5 days,pulled out the double J tube after I month.The patient had low back pain ,fever and oliguria after the double J tube was pulled out and recovered with spasmolysis,analge-sia and antibiosis treatment after 2 days.The voiding volume and renal function became normal.The B-type ultra-sound test showed hydronephrosis on left side was lessened.The ultrasound test after 3 months result showed hydro-nephrosis was significantly lessened than before surgery and renal function was normal.Conclusions The laparo-scopic ureterolysis surgery for retroperitoneal fibrosis is minimally invasive,less suffering and quick recovery.Be-cause of few case report and short follow-up time is more eases and long-term follow-up are needed to elucidate the therapeutic efficacy of this treatment.

Objective To observe the influences of NaAsO2 on H3K36me3 modifications,mRNA transcription of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase gene (MGMT) in HaCaT cells,and to explore the relationship between the transcription of MGMT gene regulated by H3K36me3 and DNA damage induced by arsenic,in order to provide new ideas and scientific basis for prevention and intervention of arsenism.Methods HaCaT cells were treated with 1.25,2.50,5.00 and 10.00 μmol/L NaAsO2 for 24 h,and were also treated with 10.00 μmol/L NaAsO2 for 6,12 and 24 h.HaCaT cells that treated with 0.00 pmol/L NaAsO2 and 0 h were used as blank control group.The degree of DNA damage in peripheral blood cells was detected by single cell gel electrophoresis.The level of H3K36me3 modifications was detected using Western blotting.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA levels of MGMT gene.Quantitative chromatin immuno-precipitation was used to detect the level of H3K36me3 modifications in the coding regions (ChIP1 and ChIP2) of MGMT gene.Results ①Among the groups of HaCaT cells treated with 2.50,5.00 and 10.00 μmol/L NaAsO2,the levels of tail DNA％ (11.83 ± 1.15,16.85 ± 2.52,24.23 ± 2.75) and olive tail moment (OTM,10.90 ± 1.13,16.19 ± 2.26,23.83 ± 2.79)were significantly increased compared with those of the control group (0.00 μmol/L,2.40 ± 0.51,2.26 ± 0.40,all P ＜ 0.05).After treated with 10.00 μmoFL NaAsO2 for 12 and 24 h,compared with the control group (0 h,3.66 ± 1.02,3.38 ± 1.00),the degrees of tail DNA％ (15.51 ± 1.92,24.18 ± 2.42) and OTM (13.58 ± 2.04,23.14 ± 2.11)were significantly increased (all P ＜ 0.05).②Compared with the control group (0.00 μmol/L,100.00 ± 0.00),the levels of H3K36me3 modifications (60.59 ± 9.75,57.82 ± 11.28,39.45 ± 7.09) were lower at the dosages of 2.50,5.00 and 10.00 μmol/L NaAsO2 (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control group (0 h,100.00 ± 0.00),the levels of H3K36me3 modifications (48.47 ± 9.67,47.75 ± 6.98) were lower after treated with 10.00 μ mol/L NaAsO2 for 12 and 24 h (all P ＜ 0.05).③The levels of H3K36me3 modifications in HaCaT cells exposed to different doses of NaAsO2 were negatively associated with the tail DNA％ and OTM (r =-0.897,-0.903,all P ＜ 0.05).④Compared with the control group (0.00 μmol/L,100.00 ± 0.00),the mRNA levels of MGMT gene were lower at the dosages of 2.50,5.00 and 10.00 pmol/L NaAsO2 (78.20 ± 3.50,61.40 ± 2.60,49.15 ± 4.70,all P ＜ 0.05).⑤There was no observed H3K36me3 enrichmem regularity in the gene encoding ChIP1 and ChIP2 regions of MGMT gene in all doses of NaAsO2 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions H3K36me3 may be involved in the regulation of arsenicinduced DNA damage in HaCaT cell.Amenic could inhibit the mRNA transcription of MGMT gene in HaCaT cells,but the transcription of MGMT gene regulate by H3K36me3 is not closely related to DNA damage induced by arsenic.

The aim of this study was to comprehensively investigate the correlations between foliar fungal endophyte communities and effective components accumulations in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Foliar samples of S. miltiorrhiza were collected in 5 different areas. Their fungal endophyte communities and effective component contents were determined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. The results showed that, for characteristics of foliar fungal endophyte communities and effective component contents, there were both similarities and differences among the five samples. Correlation analysis of DGGEs' band and 24 effective components revealed a significant correlations (P < 0.01). For examples, 4 bands (15, 18, 23 and 26) were all significantly correlated with the accumulations of caffeic acid, salvianolic acid B, salvianolic acid C and dihydrotanshinone I.
