Objective: To explore the protective mechanism of resvertrol (RSV) suppressing the rapid electrical stimulation incurred oxidative stress injury in neonatal rats cardiomyocytes. Methods: The neonatal rats cardiac ifbroblasts and myocytes were isolated by double enzyme digestion and differential adhesion method, and the cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into 5 groups:①Control (CTR) group,②Rapid electrical stimulation (RES) group,③RES+APO group, cells were pretreated with NADPH oxidase inhibitor APO,④RES+RSV group,⑤RES+AIP group, cells were pretreated with CaMKII inhibitor AIP. In order to conifrm whether RSV protection was via MsrA-OX-CaMKⅡpathway, the cells were further divided into another 3 groups:①DMSO control group,②RSV+DMSO group,③RES+ RSV+DMSO group. The best dose of RSV was measured with Kit-8 by cardiomyocytes surviving condition, the optimal electrical stimulation time was detected with ELISA by Ang II level in conditioned medium. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiomyocytes was detected by flow cytometry, the protein expressions of MsrA, Nox4, Nox2, P22phox, OX-CaMK II and apoptosis related cleaved caspase-3 were observed by Western blot analysis.Results:①Compared with CTR group, RES group showed increased AngII secretion with increased protein expressions of Nox4, Nox2, P22phox, OX-CaMK II and cleaved caspase-3.②Compared with RES group, the RES+APO, RES+RSV, RES+AIP groups had decreased ROS level, the ROS was even lower in RES+RSV group.③Compared with RES group, the RES+APO, RES+RSV groups presented decreased protein expressions of Nox4, Nox2, P22phox, OX-CaMK II and cleaved caspase-3, while RES+AIP group only had decreased Nox2, OX-CaMK II and cleaved caspase-3.④Compared with DMSO control group, RES+ RSV+DMSO group had the lower level of cleaved caspase-3 expression. Conclusion: RSV has protective effect on rapid electrical stimulation incurred oxidative stress injury in neonatal rats cardiomyocytes, which might be via NADPH oxidase with the increased MsrA expression .

Objective:To explore the related factors of postoperative adjuvant therapy for cervical cancer stagedⅠB1-ⅡA2 [according to 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging standard], and to establish a nomogram model to predict the risk of postoperative adjuvant therapy for locally advanced cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 714 patients with cervical squamous cell cancer staged FIGO ⅠB1-ⅡA2 treated by surgery in Anhui Provincial Hospital were selected as the research objects from January 2009 to December 2019, and their clinicopathological data were analyzed. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the influencing factors, and a nomogram model was established to predict the risk of postoperative adjuvant treatment of cervical cancer. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated with the consistency index (C-index), and the compliance of the model was evaluated with the calibration curve.Results:Univariate analysis suggested that postoperative adjuvant therapy for cervical cancer was associated with gravidity ( χ2=11.506, P=0.001), underlying disease (hypertension or diabetes) ( χ2=7.668, P=0.006), squamous cell cancer antigen (SCC-AG) level ( χ2=19.392, P<0.001), imaging risk factors ( χ2=16.392, P<0.001), FIGO stage ( χ2=25.686, P<0.001), tumor size ( χ2=9.392, P=0.025) and surgical path ( χ2=16.590, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that the number of pregnancy >2 times ( OR=1.951, 95% CI: 1.355-2.808, P<0.001), SCC-Ag ≥1.5 μg/L ( OR=2.021, 95% CI: 1.444-2.829, P<0.001), FIGO stage ⅠB3-ⅡA2 [ⅠB3 ( OR=1.933, 95% CI: 1.139-3.282, P=0.015); ⅡA1 ( OR=2.723, 95% CI: 1.556-4.765, P<0.001); ⅡA2 ( OR=3.159, 95% CI: 1.502-6.646, P=0.002)], with underlying disease (hypertension or diabetes) ( OR=1.867, 95% CI: 1.051-3.318, P=0.033), imaging risk factors ( OR=1.997, 95% CI: 1.127-3.537, P=0.018), without neoadjuvant therapy [preoperative neoadjuvant therapy for 1 cycle ( OR=0.402, 95% CI: 0.207-0.783, P=0.007)] and laparoscopic surgery ( OR=2.177, 95% CI: 1.524-3.112, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for postoperative adjuvant treatment of cervical cancer. Based on the screened variables, the nomogram model to predict the risk of postoperative adjuvant treatment for cervical cancer has good predictive performance (C-index was 0.702) and compliance. Conclusion:The number of pregnancy >2 times, SCC-Ag ≥1.5 μg/L, FIGO stage ⅠB3-ⅡA2, with underlying disease (hypertension or diabetes), imaging risk factors, without neoadjuvant therapy, and laparoscopic surgery are independent influencing factors for postoperative adjuvant treatment of cervical cancer. A nomogram model has been constructed to predict the risk of postoperative adjuvant therapy for locally advanced cerrical cancer, and it can provide evidence for clinical treatment selection.

To obtain oleaginous yeast mutants with improved lipid production and growth rates, an atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) jet was used with a 96-well plate for high throughput screening. Mutants with changes in growth rates and lipid contents were obtained. At a lethality rate of 99%, the positive mutation rate of the yeast cells was 27.2% evaluated by the growth rates of the mutants and the comparison with the wild strain. The fermentation in a medium composed of yeast extract (10 g/L), peptone (10 g/L) and D-glucose (20 g/L) resulted in the lipid yield of the mutant (C4) with 4.07% (W/W) compared with that of the wild strain (1.87%).

Objective To evaluate the effects of isoflurane postconditioning on angiogenesis during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion ( I∕R) in rats and the role of Shh signaling pathway. Methods Thirty-two clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 220-280 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) by a random number table method:sham operation group ( Sham group) , I∕R group, isoflurane postconditioning group ( ISO group) , and isoflurane postconditioning plus Shh signaling pathway specific inhibitor cyclopamine group ( ISO+CYC group) . Cerebral ischemia was produced by inserting a 3-0 nylon thread with a rounded tip into the internal jugular vein. The nylon thread was threaded cranially until resistance was met. Occlusion was maintained for 1. 5 h followed by 24 h reperfusion. Neurological deficit was scored at 24 h of reperfusion. Rats were then sacrificed, and brains were removed for determination of cerebral infarct volume ( by TTC) and expression of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 ( Gli1) , vascu-lar endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and transmembrane phosphoglycoprotein protein ( CD34) in cerebral cortex (by Western blot) and for examination of the pathological changes (by Nissl staining). Results Compared with Sham group, the neurological deficit score and cerebral infarct volume were significantly in-creased, and the expression of Gli1, VEGF and CD34 in the cerebral cortex was up-regulated in I∕R and ISO groups ( P <0. 05) . Compared with I∕R group, the neurological deficit score and cerebral infarct vol-ume were significantly decreased, and the expression of Gli1, VEGF and CD34 in the cerebral cortex was up-regulated ( P<0. 05) , and the pathological changes of brain tissues were significantly attenuated in ISO group, and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in ISO + CYC group ( P>0. 05) . Compared with ISO group, the neurological deficit score and cerebral infarct volume were signifi-cantly increased, and the expression of Gli1, VEGF and CD34 in the cerebral cortex was down-regulated in ISO+CYC group ( P<0. 05) . Conclusion The mechanism by which isoflurane post-conditioning attenuates cerebral I∕R injury is related to activating Shh signaling pathway and promoting angiogenesis in rats.
