Objective: To determine the effects of intermittent hypoxia (IH )on the growth of SW480 cell lines and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF)-1?,the phenomenon of IH in tumors and the relation between IH and HIF-1? were discussed. Methods: The hypoxia condition was simulated by CoCl2. Effect of IH on the growth of SW480 cell lines was observed by MTT assay. Effects of IH on the expression of HIF-1? were analyzed by Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot assay. Cells were divided into four groups: group A: normoxia group,group B: IH for 2 hours group,group C: IH for 3 hours group,and group D: continuous hypoxia (CH) for 3 hours group. Results: MTT assay indicated that in the 3 hypoxia groups,the growth of SW480 cell lines was inhibited,when compared with normoxia group. The growth of SW480 cell lines was also inhibited in group C and group D when compared with group B. No significant differences were observed between group C and group D.RT-PCR showed that the level of HIF-1? mRNA in group C was higher than that in group A,group B and group D. No significant differences were observed among the other 3 groups. Western blot found that the level of HIF-1? protein in group C was higher than that in the other 3 groups.The level of HIF-1? protein in group D was higher than that in group B and group A. No significant differences were observed between group B and group A. Conclusion: Same hypoxia time but different hypoxia manner inhibit the growth of SW480 cell lines to the same degree. A certain degree of IH can up-regulate the mRNA and protein level of HIF-1?.

Objective To observe the clinical features of late-onset cone dystrophy (LOCD).Methods Eleven patients (15 eyes) of LOCD were enrolled in this study.The patients included 7 males and 4 females.The age was ranged from 50 to 79 years,with a mean age of 60.2 years.There was no obvious photophobia and hemeralopia.The visual acuity was less than or equal to 0.05 in 4 eyes,0.06-0.2 in 5 eyes,0.3-1.0 in 6 eyes.Visual acuity,slit lamp microscope,indirect ophthalmoscopy,flash electroretinogram (FERG) and multifocal electroretinograms (mfERG) were examined for all patients,fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) for 11 eyes,optical coherence tomography (OCT) and chromoptometry for 6 eyes.Results There were 6 eyes with red/green color blindness,2 eyes with color weakness.Normal fundus was found in 11 eyes,while derangement of macular pigment epithelial in 4 eyes.FFA results showed that there were 5 eyes with normal fundus,4 eyes with blocked fluorescent spots,2 eyes with oval macular atrophy.FERG results showed that in cone response,the amplitude was lower in 6 eyes (including mild decrease in 4 eyes,moderate decrease in 1 eye and severe decrease in 1 eye) ; both in cone and rod response,the amplitude were lower in 9 eyes.mfERG results showed that central part of the cone (less than 7 degree from the center) was damaged in 5 eyes,both central and peripheral part (outside of 7 degree) of the cone were damaged in 10 eyes.OCT results showed that pigment derangement in 3 eyes,fovea was normal in 8 eyes,thinned in 5 eyes (foveal thickness was 83-111 μm).Conclusions The fundus manifestations of LOCD patients are variable,from normal fundus to oval macular atrophy.FERG is abnormal,which mainly in cone response at early stage and both in cone and rod response at late stage.Central part and (or) peripheral part of the cone are abnormal by mfERG.

Objective To explore the influence of RNAi-mediated hypoxia-inducible factor 1? (HIF-1?) silencing on the growth and metastasis of colon cancer in nude mice.Methods A total of 30 6-week-old female nude mice were randomly divided into normal saline group (NS group),negative plasmid group and RNA interference group after injected with SW480 subcutaneously to form a colon carcinoma.shRNA-HIF-1? vector was constructed and injected (50 ?g/time,once per 2 d,for 7 times) into the tumor mass of nude mice of RNA interference group to induce RNAi.Normal saline or blank vector was injected into the corresponding nude mice.The changes of HIF-1? were detected with RT-PCR and Western blot analysis.The size of tumors,metastasis rate and the positive rate of lymphnode were compared among different groups.Results In 15 d after RNAi vector injection,the tumor volume of RNAi group [(273.9?14.7) mm3] was much smaller than those of NS group [(1 845.5?91.2) mm3] and negative plasmid group [(1 842.7?115.7) mm3] (P

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of 11,12-EET(11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid)on myocardium of immature rabbit hearts from ischemic reperfusion injury. Methods: 16 isolated immature rabbit hearts were performed to ischemic reperfusion model in a Langendorff perfusion apparatus and randomlyassigned to on two groups. Control group, the hearts were arrested with St.Thomas No.2 solution and stored in the same solution (n=8). EET group, the hearts were arrested with St.Thomas No.2 plus 11,12-EET solution and stored in the same solution (n=8). These isolated rabbit hearts were stored for 8 hours at 4℃ hypothermia , and underwent 30 minutes of reperfusion (37℃). We measured the preischemia and postreperfusion indexes of left ventricle developed pressure (LVDP), left ventricle end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), ?dp/pt_ max , myocardial water content (MWC), coronary blood effluent (CBE) and arrhythmia score (AS). The myocardial ultrastructure and value of creatine kinase (CK) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were also observed. Results: (1) After 30 minutes reperfusion, the indexes of CK, LDH, CBE, AS,and the recovery rate of heart function were significantly better in EET group compared with controls. At the same time, no ultrastructural changes were found in the EET group while the capillary endothelial base membrane edema and mitochondrion edema was observed in the control group. (2) In EET group, compared with preischemia, there were no significantly changes of myocardial function at the end of 30-minutes reperfusion. Conclusion: These data suggest that 11,12-EET add to the St.Thomas No.2 solution could offer more little myocardial injury and little arrhythmia and provide better preservation of the isolated immature hearts.

Objective To investigate the effects of Physiotherapy in the prevention of lower extremitydeep venous thrombosis in patients with colorectal tumors after operation. Methods About 55 cases of inpatients admitted to the hospital from November 2014 to November 2015 were selected as the control group, and they were given routine nursing before and after operation. Another 55 cases of inpatients admitted to the hospital from November 2015 to November 2016 were selected as the observation group. On the basis of the control group, the observation group were treated with Physiotherapy in 24h after operation, 30min for once, twice/d, lasting for 7 days. The coagulation function , lower extremity deep venous flow velocity and the incidence of deep venous thrombosis in two groups were compared before operation and 7 days after operation. Result About 7 days after operation, levels of fibrinogen and D-dimer in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01), the lower extremity deep venous blood flow velocity was higher than that in the control group (P<0.01), and the incidence of lower limb deep venous thrombosis was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion Physiotherapy can improve the coagulation function in patients undergoing colorectal operation, improve the lower extremity deep venous flow velocity and reduce the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.

Objective To observe the protective effect of 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid(11,12-EET)on immature isolated rabbit hearts.Methods Forty-eight isolated immature rabbit hearts were randomly assigned to two groups: Control group,the hearts were arrested with St.Thomas No.2 solution and stored in the same solution ( n =24);EET group,the hearts were arrested with St.Thomas No.2 plus 11,12-EET solution and stored in the same solution ( n =24). All rabbit hearts were stored for 8,16 and 24 h with 4 ℃ hypothetmia, and underwent 30 min reperfusion ( 37 ℃ ). On the Langendorff perfusion apparatus,left ventricle developed pressure (LVDP),left ventricle end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP),+dp/pt max ,coronary blood effluent (CBE) and arrhythmias score were measured before and after ischemia. Myocardial water content,the value of creatine kinase (CK) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were also measured,and myocardial ultrastructure observed. Results Postischemic recovery of myocardial function and myocardial edema were significantly better in EET group at different time points. The changes of arrhythmias score,CK,LDH and myocardial ultrastructure in EET group were superior to those in control group. After the hearts were preserved for 16 h ,the recovery of myocardial function and arrhythmias score in EET group were basically close to the measured values before heart preservation,while those in control group were significantly decreased. After the hearts were stored for 24 h ,all hearts in EET group beated again during reperfusion,but 5 hearts in control group could not beat anymore.Conclusion Addition of 11,12-EET into the St.Thomas No.2 cardioplegic solution could prolong the storage time and enhance the myocardial protective effect to the isolated immature hearts.

Objective To study the role of beta endorphin (?-EP) in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. Methods Radioimmunoassay (RIA) was used to measure the levels of ?-EP in plasma from 40 patients and tissue fluid of lesional and non lesional skin from 33 patients with vitiligo. Results Plasma levels of ?-EP were significantly higher in patients with generalized(11.74?3.47 pmol/L), local(8.31?2.57) and segmental(8.61?2.61) vitiligo than those in normal controls(6.69?1.46). Tissue fluid levels of ?-EP were significantly higher in lesional skin (9.25?4.49 and 10.24?4.37) than those in non lesional skin (5.50?2.84 and 6.12?1.61) from patients with local and segmental vitiligo. Increased levels of ?-EP were observed in tissue fluid from both lesional and non lesional skin in patients with generalized vitiligo, however, no significant difference of ?-EP levels was found between the two kinds of skin tissue. Conclusion It is suggested that ?-EP might play a role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo.

Objective To investigate the related factors of recurrence of early gastric cancer (EGC) after endoscopic resection. Methods Clinicopathologic data of 169 patients with EGC who underwent endoscopic resection and periodically followed up by the Chinese PLA General hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results During a follow-up of 13-57 months (median time 24. 5 months), 12patients had gastric cancer again and the recurrence rate was 7. 1% (12/169). The recurrence time varied from 3 to 36 (28 ± 23)months and the median time was 18 months. The recurrence rates of 0.5 year, 1st year, 2nd year and 3rd year were 1.18% (2/169), 3.55% (6/169), 9.91% (11/111) and 12.24%(12/98), respectively. Eleven patients had gastric cancer again within 2 years after resection.Undifferentiated histology (including poorly differentiated carcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma),submucosal infiltration and lymphovascular invasion of the primary lesion of EGC were related to thepostsurgical recurrence ( all P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Most recurrence of EGC occurred within 2 years afterendoscopic resecton and is related with undifferentiated histology, submucosal infiltration andlymphovascular invasion. It is important for these patients to receive endoscopy follow up.
