Objective:To evaluate the antitumor activity of recombinant SEA for therapy of B16 melanoma established in C57BL/6 mice. Methods:C57BL/6 mice with melanoma were treated with the purified rSEA. The tumors were isolated and weighted. Results:Tumor growth was apparently inhibited by rSEA at high, middle, and low doses intraperitone-ally, whose inhibition ratio were 79.3% , 75.6 % and 73. 8% respectively. rSEA treatment in situ could inhibit tumor growth more effectively(90.6% ). Further study showed that numerous CD8+ and CD4+ T cell were infiltrated in tumor tissues, which were consistent with tumor growth inhibition induced by rSEA. Conclusions: rSEA could inhibit tumor growth effectively, especially the treatment in situ. This study paves the way for tumor immunotherapy with targeted SEA.

Objective To investigate the applicability of clinical grade and a non-contact measurement method in evaluation of underneath eye wrinkles and to compare two methods.Methods A lot of 46 healthy Chinese women were recruited for this study.Underneath eye wrinkles severity was evaluated using clinical grade and a non-contact measurement method.The correlations were calculated for clinical grade and non-contact measurement parameters and age.The non-contact measurement parameters were classified by factor analysis.The correlations between age,clinical grade and factors were analyzed.Results The correlation coefficient between clinical grade in comparison to subject's age was 0.818.The parameters getting from non contact measurement were obviously correlated with age and clinical grade except SEr and SEsc;the correlation coefficients between parameters and age were-0.601 to 0.605;the correlation cofficients between parameters and clinical grade were-0.630 to 0.570.The non-contact measurement parameters could be classified into two factors;one represented wrinkle depth and roughness;the other represented wrinkle width and counts.These two factors were also obviously correlated with age and clinical grade.Conclusions Clinical grade and non contact measurement methods are both applicable in evaluation of underneath eye wrinkles.The parameters getting from two methods are obviously correlated with each other.

Objective:Metabolic syndrome (MS) patients and determine factors related to platelet hyperactivation.Methods:A total of 999 participants (822 males and 177 females) were enrolled. Participants were divided into two groups according to the metabolic index: MS group (501) and normal control (NC) group (498). Platelet function was tested with PFA100 (Siemens USA, Deerfield, Illinois) which measures the time it takes for blood to occlude an aperture (closure time, CT) following stimulation with collagen and adenosine diphosphate. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS statistical software package, version 22.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA).Results:MS group had significantly shorter CT values compared with NC group (106.6±27.8s) vs (113.7±27.9s). Higher BMI, WC, BP, TC, TG, LDL-C, UA, and PRL were correlated with shorter CT values (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Our results indicated platelet hyperactivation exists in MS which was related to obesity and elevated blood pressure, blood lipids, uric acid, and PLR.

Objective To study the influence of different microembolism on left ventricular systolic synchronism in pigs by detecting the real-time dypyridamole stress contrast echocardiography (RT-MCE).Methods Eighteen miniature pigs were randomly divided into three groups and underwent microembolization injection procedure through the middle of anterior descending coronary artery with different numbers of microsphere injection,as:group A(dosage 50 thousands,3 pigs),group B (dosage 120 thousands,8 pigs) and group C (dosage 150 thousands,7 pigs).The peak values and the time-to-peak circumferential strain(Circ.Strain),radial velocity (Radial Vel.) and radial strain (Radial Strain) were obtained both at mitral valve level and papillary muscle level at left ventricle short axis views using two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging(STI)analyzed by Philips Q-Lab 8.1 workshop,respectively.Results No significant difference in the presence of contraction synchrony was observed using RT-MCE.The time-to-peak Circ.Strain of microembolism related segments were prolonged at 1 week after microembolism detecting with dypyridamole stress RT-MCE (P＜0.05,both intro-group and inter-group).While time-to-peak radial strain were extended since 6 hours after the intervention to 1 week after the procedure.Conclusions Dypyridamole stress RT-MCE can be used to measure the myocardial perfusion accurately.The elongation of time-to-peak circ.strain and radial strain were developed with time in microembolism related segments.

The objective of this study is to examine the effects of ANISpm, a novel polyamine naphthalimide conjugate, with acetylsalicylic acid against hepatocellular carcinoma in vivo and in vitro and elucidate its potential molecular mechanism. The proliferation inhibition was detected by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis, intracellular fluorescence intensity and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were detected by high content screening (HCS) analysis. Polyamines content was analyzed by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography Protein expression levels were quantified by Western blotting assay. The combination treatment strongly inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis in HepG2 cells and H22 hepatoma cells, which was mediated by enhanced ANISpm uptake via up-regulation of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) and depression of intracellular polyamine. Furthermore, this synergistic apoptosis was involved in mitochondria and death-receptor signal pathway. All these findings demonstrated that the combination treatment with acetylsalicylic acid and ANISpm resulted in synergistic antitumor effects on hepatoma cells. Thus, combination therapy with these agents may be useful as a potential template for the development of better chemotherapeutic strategy against hepatoma.

Objective To assess the effect of ultrasound contrast agent SonoVue on the dimensions and systolic function of left and right ventricle in pigs. Methods Sixteen pigs were randomly assigned to two groups. Intravenous injection of 1 ml of SonoVue were given in study group, and repeated 20 min later. The control group was given the same doses of saline. Before and after the administration of contrast agent, the end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD, RVEDD). end-systolic dimension ( LVESD, RVESD) and fractional shortening(LVFS,RVFS) of left and right ventricle were measured. The time to reach the extreme value of these parameters and the time to return to the baseline were recorded. Results There was no significant difference regarding the parameters at baseline between the two groups. After injection of SonoVue,RVEDD significantly increased from (25. 88 ± 1. 38) mm at baseline to its maximum of (33. 26 ± 0. 99)mm( P < 0. 05). Accordingly,RVFS significantly increased from (26. 90 ± 1. 92) % to (33. 92 ± 2. 53) % ( P <0. 05). Meanwhile,LVEDD remarkably decreased from (38.10 ± 1. 39)mm at baseline to its minimum of (26.25 ± 0. 65)mm( P <0. 05) and LVFS remarkably decreased from (36. 24 ± 1. 93) % to (29.13 ± 3.00) % ( P < 0. 05). There was no change in the control group after administration of the saline. When SonoVue was given repeatedly, the maximum RVEDD and RVFS was (29. 98 ± 1. 23) mm and (31. 09 + 1.90) % , respectively, which had less increase compared to the first time. Minimum LVEDD and LVFS was (31. 91 ± 1, 64)mm and (32. 17 ± 2. 31)%,respectively,with less decrease compared with which at first injection. It took (10. 15±0. 59) min for the right and left ventricle to reach the extreme value and (9.00± 0. 56) min to return to the baseline at the first injection. The time used for the right and left ventricle to reach its peak change and back to baseline after second injection of SonoVue were shorter [(8.73± 0.55) min and (6.89± 0.43) min, respectively,both P <0.05]. Conclusions Administration of SonoVue was associated with acute, transient dilation of right ventricle and compression of left ventricle. The influence of SonoVue on the right and left ventricle became less at it second injection.

Objective To translate the English version of the Intuitive Eating scale-2( IES-2) into Chinese,and test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of IES-2(IES-2-CHI) in college students. Methods The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of IES-2 were tested among 1 309 college students in Liaoning province. All data were analyzed by SPSS 20. 0 and AMOS 21. 0. Results The Chi-nese version of IES-2-CHI, all inter-items and item-to-total correlation coefficients ranged from 0. 444 to 0. 759. The IES-2-CHI had a total Cronbach’s α of 0. 933 and the test-retest correlation was 0. 831. The i-tem-level content validity index(I-CVI)ranged from 0. 830 to 1. 000,the scale-level content validity index(S-CVI/UA)was 0. 870,and the content validity index at the average scale level(S-CVI/Ave)was 0. 978. Four-factors(unconditional permission to eat,eating for physical rather than emotional reasons,reliance on hunger and satiety cues,body-food choice congruence) model were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 58. 974%. The confirmatory factor analysis results showed that χ2/df=2. 941,CFI=0. 959,GFI=0. 920,TLI=0. 954,PGFI=0. 747,RMSEA=0. 055,and the model was basically adaptable. Conclusion The Chinese version of IES-2-CHI scale is reliable and valid instrument, which can be used to measure the level of intuitive eating among the college students in Liaoning province.

Objective To study the effect of contusion and exhaustive exercise on satellite cells' activation and Pax7/CBF1/DAPT contents in skeletal muscles of rats,and reveal the repair mechanism of the skeletal muscle injury.Methods Twenty-four seven-week-old male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into a control(C)group,an immediately after exhaustive exercise(E0)group,a 24 hours after exhaustive exercise(E24)group and a 48 hours after exhaustive exercise(E48)group,each of 6.Other 18 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups,6 rats in each group:an immediately after contusion group(D0),a 24h post-contusion group(D24)and a 48h post-contusion group(D48).All groups were killed at different time points after exhaustive exercise and the contusion respectively while the control group was at resting state,and their serum was extracted.The right gastrocnemius muscles were resected and divided into 2 parts:one was used immediately for culturing satellite cells,while the other was stored in the bridge at-80℃.All the serum and gastrocnemius muscles were tested for Pax7,CBF1 and DAPT contents using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Moreover,three-day-old newborn rats were also slaughtered for the above experiment.Results The results of culture in vitro showed that one day after the culture began a small amount of spindle satellite cells could be seen in the newborn rats,but the satellite cells of other groups were growing slowly.However,on the third day and the fifth day,the spindle satellite cells of each group began to proliferate in quantity and reached the peak.Then all the satellite cells had a good proliferation until the seventh day after serial passage,and some patial fusions to microtubules occurred.The biggest cell number and proliferation rate was in newborn rats,but no skeletal muscle satellite cell was found in the control group.At the same time,the number and the proliferation rate of skeletal muscle satellite cells in contusion groups were significantly higher than the exhaustive exercise groups.The results of Elisa showed that the contents of CBF1 and Pax7 in skeletal muscles in exhaustive groups and contusion groups,were significantly upregulated,compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Amomg them,the CBF1 content in group D0,together with the Pax7 content in group D24 and D48,was significantly higher than that of the other groups(P＜0.05).On the other hand,the content of DAPT in skeletal muscles of exhaustive groups and contusion groups,compared to the control group,was significantly downregulated (P＜0.05).To be more specific,the value of group D0 was significantly lower than that of the other groups (P＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference in it among group E0,E24 and E48.Conclusions Contusion and exhaustive exercise can activate the skeletal muscle satellite cells to proliferate and differentiate.The number of activated skeletal muscle satellite cells in the contusion groups is significantly larger than that of exhaustive groups maybe due to the stronger stimulating by contusion.Both contusion and exhaustive exercise increase the contents of Pax7 and CBF1 in skeletal muscles,but decrease that of DAPT.The Pax7 and CBF1 may play a positive regulating role in terms of activating skeletal satellite cells and repairing skeletal muscle injury,while DAPT may play a negative regulating role.

Objective:To investigate the effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) on cell proliferation and mRNA expression of inflammatory factors in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:Tissue culture was used to isolate and 4-6 generation cultured RA-FLS cells were used for subsequent experiments. RA-FLS were stimulated for 24 hours with different con-centr-ations of human Ox-LDL, then the MTS cell proliferation and toxicity test kit were used to detect the prolifer-ation of RA-FLS. Real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to test the expression of inflamm- atory factors like interleukin (IL)-6, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and receptors like CD36 and scavenger receptor binds phosphatidylsed neoxidized lipoprotein (SR-PSOX) inRA-FLS. T test and F test were used in this study. Results:Ox-LDL (10, 25, 50 μg/ml) could obviously promote the proliferation of RA-FLS, and theabsorbance values (490 nm) were (1.04±0.15), (1.05±0.14), and (1.00±0.10), respectively, all higher than the control group (0.81±0.04) and the difference was statistically significant ( F=4.737, P<0.01). In addition, 50 μg/ml and 100 μg/ml Ox-LDL also promoted the expression of IL-6 mRNA ( F=14.709, P<0.01) and inhi-bited the expression of TGF-β mRNA ( F=299.074, P<0.01), but there was no obvious effect on the expression of IL-8 and TNF-α. Ox-LDL stimulation could obviously promote the expression of SR-PSOX receptor on RA-FLS ( F=68.636, P<0.01) and inhibit the expression of CD36( F=18.085, P<0.01). After the transfection of siRNA, SR-PSOX mRNA level was significantly inhibited and the mRNA expression of IL-6 was significantly decreased after Ox-LDL stimulation of RA-FLS ( t=3.875, P<0.01), while TGF-β mRNA expres-sion was not significantly changed( t=-0.193, P>0.05). Conclusion:Ox-LDL may play a role in promoting the activation of RA-FLS proliferation and the expression of IL-6 mRNA by increasing the SR-PSOX receptor of RA-FLS, suggesting that Ox-LDL is involved in the synovial inflammation of RA.

Objective:To explore the relationship between self-perceptions of aging and cognitive function, and the mediating and moderating effect of loneliness among them.Methods:A multi-stage stratified sampling was conducted in Jinzhou from September to November 2021, and 318 community-based elderly were included.General data questionnaire, the brief ageing perceptions questionnaire (BAPQ), UCLA loneliness scale(UCLA-LS) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) were applied to all subjects.IBM SPSS 25.0 software was used to conduct independent sample t-test, analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis, and Bootstrap program of AMOS 22.0 was used to analyze the mediation effect.The model in SPSSAU on-line analysis program was used to test the moderating effect. Results:The average scores of self-perceptions of aging, loneliness and cognitive function were (44.85±12.48), (41.70±8.73) and (24.87±3.40) respectively.And 65 of 318 subjects had cognitive impairment, and the detection rate was 20.44%(65/318). Self-perceptions of aging, loneliness and cognitive function scores were significantly correlated between each other(all P<0.05). Self-perceptions of aging had a negative effect on cognitive function ( β=-0.467, P<0.01). Self-perceptions of aging had a positive effect on loneliness ( β=0.585, P<0.01). Loneliness had a negative effect on cognitive function ( β=-0.234, P<0.01). The indirect standardization effect of loneliness between self-perceptions of aging and cognitive function was -0.137, and the mediating effect accounted for 22.68% of the total effect.Loneliness played a moderating role between self-perceptions of aging and cognitive function ( β=-0.114, t=-2.26, P=0.025). Conclusion:Self-perceptions of aging and loneliness can predict the cognitive function in the elderly, and loneliness plays a mediating role between self-perceptions of aging and cognitive function.Early detection of negative senility emotion and loneliness of the elderly will play a positive role in preventing the occurrence of cognitive impairment.
