In recent years,more and more attention has been paid to the inflammatory reaction in the process of neonatal unconjugated bilirubin brain damage.Studies have shown that inflammation plays an important role in the occurrence and prognosis of neonatal bilirubin brain injury.A large amount of unconjugated bilirubin pass through the blood brain barrier,causing glial ceils activation,emerging immune response,releasing inflammatory cytokines,leading the apoptosis,necrosis and damage repair of neuronal.This article reviews the occurrence and protection mechanism of inflammatory cytokines(tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-6,8,1 β,10,et.al) in neonatal bilirubin brain damage.

The incidence of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is increasing year by year,and the mortality is high,which poses a great threat to the life of patients.In recent years,the immune nutrition therapy has become the focus in the treatment of SAP,among which,fish oil lipid emulsion as a novel type of fat emulsion,has the multi-effects of anti-inflammatory,anti-oxidative,immunomodulatory,promoting signal transduction and protecting organ function apart from providing nutrition and regulating metabolism.It can prevent the deterioration of the whole body from systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS and ultimately improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the influence of Mannan Peptide combined with 5-Fu on the proliferation and apoptosis of HepG2 cells and to explore the related mechanism.Methods:HepG2 cells were divided into four groups:the control group,5-Fu group,Mannan Peptide group and combination group.Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay.Flow cytometry was used to examine the cell cycle,proliferation index(PI)and apoptosis ratio.The expression of Bcl-2 protein in each group was analyzed by immunocytochemical method.Results:The inhibitive effect of 5-Fu plus Mannan Peptide was significantly stronger than that of Mannan Peptide alone,in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Cells were treated with medicine for 48 hours.Compared with cells in the control group and 5-Fu group,the percentage of cells in G_0/G_1 stage and the apoptosis ratio in the combination group were increased(P<0.01).In immunocytochemical analysis,the combination of Mannan Peptide and 5-Fu could significantly decrease Bcl-2 protein level(P<0.01).Conclusion:The combination of Mannan Peptide and 5-Fu can synergistically suppress the proliferation and induce apoptosis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells.The mechanism might be associated with down-regulation of Bcl-2 protein expression.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanisms of the Berberine on the human breast adenocarci-noma cell line MCF-7 . Methods MTT method was used to evaluate the proliferation effect of MCF-7 and the per-centage of apoptotic cells were determined by flow cytometric analysis. The expressions of JAK2, p-JAK2, p-STAT3, STAT3, Bax, Bcl-2, Cleavage-PARP and Cleavage-Caspase3 were detected by Western blotting. Results The results showed that BBR treatment decreased the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and up-regulated the expression of Bax, Caspase3 and PARP activation with the decrease of the expression of Bcl-2. Wherefore, ex-pression of the constitutively active form of STAT3 could attenuate the effect of BBR on the MCF-7 cell. Conclusion Berberine can induces apoptosis and proliferation inhibition of breast adenocarcinoma cell lines of MCF-7 through inhibition of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To assess the relationship between endometrium damage and focal distance of high intensity focused ultrasound ablation(HIFU).Methods 150 patients with requirement of atoke from Ⅱ type uterine fibroids under HIFU were collected and divided into two groups by the location of fibroids,one was antetheca group, and the other was posterior group,which were further divided into three groups,A group(25 cases),B group(25 cases), and C group(25 cases),in which their distance were 15mm,18mm,and 20mm from endometrium respectively.Those patients were treated with HIFU,and improvement of symptoms was assessed by uterine fibroids symptom (UFS) score,energy efficiency factor(EEF)was served as total energy required by treatment,the closest distance from mar-gin of necrosis of fibroids to endometrium and the rate of ablation were detected by MRI,as well as integrity of endo-metrium and vaginal bleeding were observed on postoperative 2 days and 3 months.Results After treatment by HIFU,significant improvement of symptoms was found,especially for the fibroids in antetheca(t =3.868,P =0.01), moreover,as for the fibroids in antetheca,the obvious efficacy was found in B group and C group(F =4.711,P <0.05),while for posterior fibroids,the efficacy was not associated with the location of HIFU(F =3.898,P >0.05).In addition,high rate of ablation and low EEF for the fibroids in antetheca was found(t =9.818,11.224,respectively,all P <0.01),and the highest rate of ablation in A group was revealed(F =105.673,P <0.01),followed by that of B group,the worse was C group.While in posterior fibroids,the distance was not associated with the rate of ablation(F =0.485,P >0.05).There was significant difference of integrity rate for endometrium between antetheca and posterior fibroids on postoperative 2 days(93.33% vs.77.33%,χ2 =7.67,P <0.05),and the rate in antetheca fibroids was higher than that of posterior fibroids(94.67% vs.82.67%)on postoperative 3 months.After postoperative 2 days,as for the fibroids in antetheca,the rate of integrity in B group(100.00%)and C group(100.00%)was higher than that in A group(80.00%),while in posterior fibroids,the highest rate was in C group(100.00%),followed by B group, which of A group was the worst(60.00%);After postoperative 3 months,in the fibroids of antetheca,there was no sig-nificant difference of rate between B group and C group,which were higher than that in A group(84.00%),while in posterior fibroids,the highest rate was in C group(100.00%),followed by B group(84.00%).In addition,significant difference between varied focal distance and improvement of vaginal bleeding existed in antetheca and posterior fibroids(P <0.05),for example the score of vaginal bleeding in B group and C group at postoperative 3 months was lower than that in A group(F =7.292,P <0.01),while for posterior fibroids,the efficacy of C group was higher than that of B group(F =14.559,P <0.05 ).Conclusion Although improved efficacy of Ⅱ type uterine fibroids is offered by HIFU,for the minimum damage of endometrium,its focal distance is varied with the locations of fibroids, namely,the safe distance in antetheca is more than 18mm,while that in posterior fibroids is more than 20mm.

Objective To investigate the role of β-arrestin2 in intestinal inflammation and illustrate the mechanisms from the perspective of epithelial barrier function. Methods Dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)is used to induce acute intestinal colitis in mice. The experiment groups are designed as the wild type control(WT),the wild type colitis (WT+DSS) and the β-arrestin2- knockout colitis (KO+DSS). The expression of β-arrestin2 gene by mRNA and protein level is compared between the WT and WT + DSS groups. The difference of weight loss , disease activity index(DAI),spleen weight,colon length,histological score,intestinal permeability and important tight junction proteins (occludin ,claudin1 and ZO-1) were detected in the WT+DSS and KO+DSS groups. Results Compared with the WT group,the expression of β-arrestin2 was significantly higher in the colon of the WT+DSS group. Compared with the WT+DSS group,the KO+DSS group had less weight loss(P < 0.05),lower DAI(P<0.05),smaller spleen,longer colon and lower histological score(P=0.002). The KO+DSS group had a lower intestinal permeability(P = 0.009)and higher protein level of occludin and claudin1.There was no signifi-cant difference of ZO-1 in the two groups. Conclusion β-arrestin2 may promote mouse colitis through impairment of epithelial barrier function.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogenous group of hematologic malignancies characterized by clonal expansion of BM myeloid cells with impaired differentiation. Of particular interest mutations is the recent recognition that genes involved in the regulation of histone function (EZH2, ASXL1,and UTX) and DNA methylation (DNMT3A,IDH 1/IDH2,TET2) are recurrently mutated in MDS,providing an important link between genetic and epigenetic alterations in this disease. Ongoing analysis of the seminal AZA-001study has taught many important lessons in the use of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors.Improved survival in patients with high-risk MDS treated with azacitidine extends to patients with any International Working Group-defined hematologic response.New information on the impact of DNMT inhibitors on the immune system and on stem cells will likely lead to novel uses of these drugs in MDS and other hematologic and nonhematologic malignancies. The immunomodulating drug thalidomide and its derivative lenalidomide have been used in the treatment of MDS,principally in lower-risk MDS.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( IPF) is a kind of Interstitial lung disease with cause unknown,which is aggressive for its increasing prevalence and high morbidity and mortality.At present the pathogenesis of IPF is not entirely clear, but cells and cel-lular interactions play a decisive role on the alveolar inflammation and fibrosis results.We review IPF related cells of interest ( immune competent cells and fibroblast, fibrocyte, myofibroblast, endothelial and alveolar epithelial cells) , to summarize cells and cellular in-teractions in the pathogenesis of IPF,and discuss new research directions and therapeutic targets.

Objective: To observe the eff ect and mechanism of chronic high-fat diet on predation behavior in rats. Methods: Ten female SD rats with 4-week-old were randomly divided into a normal control group (NC group,n=5) and a chronic high-fat diet group (HF group,n=5). The rats in the NC group received the regular diet while rats in the HF group were fed with high-fat diet. Fitf een weeks later, the predation behavior of rats was evaluated by open if eld test and food foraging tests. At the end of experiments, the rats were killed and brain tissues were collected for evaluation of c-Fos protein expression in anterior cingulate cortex by immunohistochemical assay. Results: hT e predation behavior of rats in the HF group was signiif cantly impaired in the competitive or non-competitive food foraging test compared with the control rats (P<0.001). hT e c-fos protein expression in anterior cingulate cortex of rats from the HF group was signiif cantly decreased (P<0.001). Conclusion: Long time high-fat diet can aff ect the predation behavior of rats, which is related todysfunction of neuron in anterior cingulate cortex.
