BACKGROUND:Previous studies demonstrated that ischemia can be compensated by establishing collateral circulation and microangiogenesis,and exercise training can ameliorate blood supply of ischemic lower limb.However,whether exercise training accelerate establishment of collateral circulation remains poorly understood.OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of exercise training on accelerating microangiogenesis of rat ischemic lower limb.METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the exercise training,model and sham-surgery groups.All animals were established left lower limb ischemia models except those in the sham-surgery group.Rats in the exercise training group were forced running 30 minutes per day at 1 week after model preparation and those in other groups were performed daily activities.The adductor of ischemic lower limb was obtained for the examination of microvessel density and the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor.Simultaneously,bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells were harvested for detection of microangiogenesis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Number of endothelial progenitor calls,expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor,as well as microvessel density of the exercise training group was obviously greater than those in the model and sham-surgery groups(P<0.01).Compared with the model and sham-surgery groups,in vitro vasculogenesisof bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells in the exercise training group was increased(P<0.05).These findings demonstrated that lower limb ischemia increases microangiogenesis,and exercise training enhances this effect.

Objective:To investigate the effect of NS-398,a selective cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) inhibitor,on the proliferation and invasion of human colon carcinoma cells in vitro,so as to determine the possibility of COX-2 as a new target for treatment of colon carcinoma.Methods: The expression of COX-2 in colorectal cancer cells(CW-2,COLO-320) was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting.COLO-320 cell proliferation was measured by MTT after treatment with NS-398.Cell invasion ability was measured using migration and invasion chamber systems.Western blotting assay was used to examine the influence of NS-398 on MMP-2 expression.Results: Our results showed that CW-2,COLO-320 cells expressed COX-2 mRNA and protein.NS-398 inhibited the proliferation of COLO-320 cells in a time-and concentration-dependent manner.Invasion test showed that NS-398 inhibited the migration and invasion of COLO-320 cells.Western blotting revealed that NS-398 inhibited the expression of MMP-2 in COLO-320 cells.Conclusion: The selective COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 can inhibit COLO-320 cell proliferation and invasion,indicating COX-2 may serve as a new target for colon carcinoma treatment.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of RTP1,one of the polysaccharide isolated from Rheum tanguticum,on H2O2 induced apoptosis in IEC-6 cells and its possible mechanism.Methods H2O2(100 mmol?L~-1)was used to induce IEC-6 cell apoptosis.Different doses(10,30,100 mg?L~-1)of RTP1 were administrated before H2O2 was added into IEC-6 cell culture.Cell viability was observed by MTT assay.Reactive oxygen species were measured with laser scanning confocal microscopy(LSCM).DNA content and percentage of apoptosis were assayed by DNA agarose gel electrophoresis,acridine orange staining and flow cytometry.The activation of Caspase-3 was detected with Western blot analysis.Results Following treatment with H2O2 for 2 h,H2O2 induced a significant decrease in cell viability,while DNA ladder was observed and apoptosis percentage was as high as 31.3%.Accumulation of intracellular ROS and increase in Caspase-3 activity were also detected.Pretreatment with RTP1 for 24 h exhibited cytoprotective effects in a dose-dependent manner.RTP1 obviously enhanced cell viability,reduced formation of DNA ladder and significantly reduced the number of cells labeled with Annexin V.The percentage of apoptosis/necrosis cells was markedly decreased to 24.4% and 21.5%,respectively.LSCM showed that RTP1 attenuated the accumulation of ROS.The significant decrease in Caspase-3 activity was detected.Conclusion RTP1 has cytoprotective capacity to antagonize H2O2-induced IEC-6 cell apoptosis and injury,and this effect may be related to decrease ROS and inhibit Caspase-3 activity

Objective To investigate the expressions of miR-16,miR-106b,miR-449a,miR-34a and let-7g in peripheral blood plasma of the residents surrounding hot springs with radon in Hebei province.Methods A total of 41 randomly selected residents surrounding hot springs with radon were considered as the radon group,and 46 residents with same living habit but without contact with hot springs were considered as control.The miRNAs in the peripheral blood plasma of these two groups were detected with qRT-PCR.Results The levels of miR-16,miR-106b,miR-449a and let-7g in the radon group were significantly higher than those in control group (Z=-2.278,-3.835,-2.719,-2.721,P＜0.05).Alterations of these miRNAs were associated with radon exposure (t =2.154,3.711,2.319,2.015,P ＜ 0.05) but had no relationship with age,sex,smoking and drinking factors.No significant difference was observed in the plasma levels of miR-34a between the two groups.Conclusions miR-16,miR-106b,miR-449a and let-7g could be applied as potential biomarkers for radon exposure.

prognosis of patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB). Methods A total of 130 patients with AUGIB in our hospital were enrolled in this study from August 2014 to August 2016 . Three kinds of scoring systems including Rockall, Blatchford and AIMS65 were used to evaluate the risk classification of the patients. Patients were followed up for 2 months. The incidence rates of re-bleeding and death within 2 months after admission were observed. Data of prognosis in patients with AUGIB were compared between the three scoring systems in the prognosis of patients with AUGIB, including the risk classification and the prediction accuracy of re-bleeding and death. Results There were no significant differences in the re-bleeding rate and fatality rate between the groups divided by Rockall and Blatchford scoring systems ( P>0.05). According to the grouping results of AIMS65 scoring system, the re-bleeding rate of low-risk group was lower than that in high risk group (1.45%vs. 13.11%, P=0.01), but there was no significant difference in fatality rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The values of area under the curve (AUC) of predicting re-bleeding rates by using Rockall, Blatchford and AIMS65 scoring systems were 0.6258, 0.6910, and 0.7241, and the values of AUC of predicting fatality rates were 0.7031, 0.7969, and 0.7031 by using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. There were no significant differences between them (P>0.05). The values of AUC of predicting re-bleeding rates by using the risk grading calculation by Rockall, Blatchford and AIMS65 scoring systems were 0.6189, 0.6139 and 0.7254 (P>0.05). But the values of AUC of predicting fatality rates were 0.6211, 0.6641 and 0.7695 (P<0.01). Conclusion The operation method of AIMS65 scoring system is simple and convenient, which is applicable to a wide range of patients with AUGIB. In the prediction of re-bleeding and mortality, AIMS65 scoring system has high accuracy and stability, which is worthy of promoting in clinical application.
