Recent data have revealed that inhibiting autophagy exacerbates lipid accumulation in hepatocytes and nitrite treatment reduces total triglyceride levels in the high-fat diet mice. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effects of nitrite on simple hepatic steatosis and the possible role of autophagy. Firstly, steatotic L-02 cells were induced by incubating L-02 cells with 1.2 mmol · L(-1) oleic acid (OA) for 24 h. Secondly, steatotic L-02 cells were treated with 0.2 mmol · L(-1) sodium nitrite (SN) plus 3-methyladenine (3-MA), or chloroquine (CQ) for 24 h, and then lipid accumulation was measured with oil red O staining and triglyceride quantification. The notable steatosis could be observed in L-02 cells following exposure to 1.2 mmol · L(-1) OA for 24 h. Treatment with 0.2 mmol · L(-1) sodium nitrite reduced lipid accumulation in steatotic L-02 cells. 3-MA weakened the ability of sodium nitrite to ameliorate hepatic steatosis. Additionally, the sodium nitrite increased number of LC3-II immunostaining puncta and LC3-II protein expression was confirmed by immunofluorescence or Western blot analysis, and the effects were enhanced by CQ treatment. The number of increased cytoplasm vacuoles and lysosomes increased was confirmed by phase contrast and fluorescence microscope respectively. The increased autolysosome was detected by electron microscopy, this phenomenon could be reversed by CQ treatment. These data demonstrated that sodium nitrite enhanced the autophagic flux and decomposition of triglycerides in steatotic L-02 cells.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of biopsy and Kyphoplasty in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture nonunion, and to explore the clinical characteristics of the disease.
METHODSFrom July 2005 to May 2010, the clinical data of 8 patients with nonunion of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures were studied. There were 3 males and 5 females, with the mean age of 73.5 years (range, 65 - 86 years). The fracture vertebrae were 3 cases in T(12), 4 in L(1), and 1 in L(2). All cases received radiography, CT and MRI examination. All patients were treated by using Kyphoplasty. Five patients were performed bone biopsy successfully, 3 patients were failed. The curative effect was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), anterior vertebral height restoration at preoperative, postoperative and followed-up time.
RESULTSAll patients tolerated the procedure well with immediate relief of back pain after Kyphoplasty. No severe complications were found in all patients. Three cases had the pathologic appearance of sequestrum, 2 cases were sparse cancellous bone, 3 cases were abortive to biopsy. All the patients were followed up of 22.6 months (range, 3 - 37 months), the VAS was 9.5 before operation, 2.1 at the third day postoperatively, there were significant difference between the two phase (P < 0.05), and 2.3 at last follow-up, there were no difference between postoperation and follow-up phase (P > 0.05). And the height of compressed body recovered markedly. The vertebral height had a recovery rate of 67.2% postoperatively, 64.1% and at last follow-up, there were no difference between the two phase (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSKyphoplasty is an effective and safe method in the treatment of osteoporotic throacolumbar vertebral fracture nonunion. Bone biopsy can play a further role of differential diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the complex differences between high metastatic and low metastatic cells of the Adenoid cystic Carcinoma.
METHODSGene expression patterns were examined in high metastatic cell ACC-M strain and low metastatic ACC-2 strain with the method SSH (suppression subtractive hybridization).
RESULTSalthough extensive similarity was noted between the expression profiles, twelve genes were highly expressed of, in low metastatic cell ACC-2 tester, compared with driver, high metastatic cell ACC-M. These genes were cysteine-rich angiogenic-inducer protein (cyr61), chromosome7 clone RP11-52501, G protein, was family member Iferritin heavy polypeptide I, jumping translocation breakpoint, eukaryotic translation elongation, folate receptor, ribosomal proteins L7a, S21, P0 and other two novel genes-ACC metastasis-associated RNH and ACC metastasis-associated suspected protein. GenBank accession number were AF522024 and AF522025 respectively.
CONCLUSIONSthe result suggests that the obtainment of the ability of metastasis is related to the low expression or mutation of these genes. These data provide insight into the extent of expression differences underlying metastasis-related genes that may prove useful as diagnostic or prognostic markers.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical effect in the near future between Zero-profile intervertebral fusion system (Zero-P) and conventional cage-plate intervertebral fusion system (CCP) for the multi-segment(>=2 segments) cervical spondylosis.
METHODS:
Forty-two patients with cervical spondylosis who underwent multi-segment decompression of the cervical spine from October 2012 to October 2017 were selected as subjects. Zero-P was applied in 21 patients (Zero-P group) and CCP was applied in 21 patients(CCP group). The general condition and perioperative parameters of all the patients were recorded. VAS, JOA scores and incidence of dysphagia were observed before and after operation. The prevertebral soft tissue thickness was measured at 1 week, 1 month after operation and at the last follow-up. At the same time, the Cobb angle of the functional unit of the fusion segments was measured, and the overall curvature change of the cervical vertebra was observed. The clinical efficacy was reviewed at 1 week, 1, 3, 12 months after surgery, and the AP and lateral cervical X-rays were reviewed to evaluate the internal fixation effect.
RESULTS:
There were no significant differences in age, gender, duration of disease, surgical segment, follow-up time and hospitalization time between two groups(>0.05). The length of the surgical incision, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative drainage volume in the Zero-P group were(4.37±0.72) cm, (50.9±7.98)ml, (84.4±8.18) min, (76.2±10.13) ml, respectively, and those in CCP group were (6.50±0.71) cm, (108.6±9.25) ml, (118.6±8.55) min, (130.1±9.42) ml, respectively. There were signigicant differences in above items between two groups(<0.05). There were no significant difference in the VAS and JOA improvement rate between two groups at the last follow-up (>0.05). There was no significant difference in the overall physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra between two groups (>0.05). The prevertebral soft tissue thickness at 1 week, 1 month after operation, final follow-up respectively was(11.6±1.9), (9.8±1.4), (9.5±1.6) mm in Zero-P group, and in CCP group those were(12.5±2.6), (11.1±2.4), (11.0±1.9) mm, respectively. There were significant differences in each time point between two groups(<0.05). At the last follow-up, no complication of dysphagia was found in Zero-P group, and three patients had dysphagia in CCP group, with a statistically significant difference between two groups (<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Multiple segmental decompression fusion to treat cervical spondylosis, regardless of the traditional CCP system or new Zero-P system are effective methods, but the Zero-P system has advantages of small surgical incision, short operation time, less intraoperative bleeding, convenient operation, better recovery of prevertebral soft tissue swelling, and lower possibility of postoperative dysphagia.
