Gender differences in fatigue, manifesting as female more prone to feel exhausted with lower muscle endurance, still remains unclear mechanism. Here, we investigated whether orosomucoid, an endogenous anti-fatigue protein which can enhance muscle endurance, is involved in this regulation. Female rats showed lower muscle endurance, and this gender difference was disappeared in orosomucoid 1-deficient mice. Female rats also displayed weaker orosomucoid induction in serum, liver and muscle in response to fatigue when compared to male ones. Ovariectomy in female rats results in elevated orosomucoid level and increased swimming time which was reversed by estrogen replenishment, while exogenous estrogen treatment both in male or female mice produced opposite effects. In vitro C2C12 muscle and Chang liver cells, estrogen decreased orosomucoid expression and its promoter activity, and this effect was abolished when estrogen receptor or MAPK was blocked. Thus, estrogen negatively regulates orosomucoid expression, which is responsible for the weaker muscle endurance in females.

Objective To evaluate clinical curative effect of levosimendan therapy on patients with refractory heart failure.Methods A total of 84 patients with refractory heart failure were randomly and equally divided into le-vosimendan group and routine treatment group.Both groups received routine antiheart failure medication,levosimendan group received levosimendan therapy while routine treatment received milrinone injection therapy additionally.Changes of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and plasma level of N terminal pro type B natriuretic peptide(NT -proB-NP)were compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results Compared with routine treatment group, there were significant increase in total effective rate of LVEF[(0.36 ±0.18)% vs.(0.42 ±0.36)%],and in NT -proBNP[(975.14 ±247.01)ng/mL vs.(832.14 ±224.78)ng/mL].The effect before and after treatment of levosi-mendan group were more obviously (NT -proBNP:t =2.3 -230.2,P <0.02;LVEF:t =2.29 -215.2,P <0.01). Conclusion Levosimendan can significantly improve heart function,decrease NT -proBNP level in patients with re-fractory heart failure.

Background Minocycline possesses neuroprotective effect in a variety of animal models and clinical trials of central nervous system,but whether it works on optic nerve injury remains unclear.Objective This study aimed to observe the protective effects of minocycline on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the early stage of optic nerve crush and explore its mechanism.Methods One hundred and thirty-six clean C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal control group,normal saline solution group and minocycline group.The optic nerve crush injury models were induced in the left eyes of the mice in the normal saline solution group and minocycline group by a cross-action forceps for 3 seconds.Minocycline was injected intraperitoneally in the minocycline group firstly 45 mg/kg(0.4 ml) and followed by 22.5 mg/kg per day after 24 hours until sacrifice of the animals,and the equivalent volume of normal saline solution was injected in the same way in the normal saline solution group.The mice were euthanized at 4,7,11,14 days postoperatively and the left eyeballs were collected.Retinal flat mounts and DAPI staining was used to observe and compare the change of RGCs density among different groups and various time points.Apoptosis of mice RGCs were assessed by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL).Real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) was used to detect the expression of CD11b mRNA in retinal microglials.Results DAPI staining in retinal flat mounts showed that the average RGCs density was (77.50±2.38)/0.01 mm2 and (70.00±2.94) /0.01 mm2 in the 4th and 7th day after modeling in the normal saline solution group,and those in the minocycline group were (88.75 ± 2.36) /0.01 mm2 and (81.00 ± 3.92)/0.01 mm2,with significant differences between the two groups (t4d =-6.708,P＜0.01 ;t7d =--4.491,P＜0.01).The apoptotic RGCs were (12±1)/mm and (4±1)/mm in the normal saline solution,which were significantly more than (4±1)/mm and (1±0)/mm in the minocycline group (t4 d =12.832,P＜0.01 ; t7d =3.455,P =0.026).However,no significant difference was found in apoptotic RGCs in postoperative 11 days and 14 days between the normal saline solution group and the minocycline group (P =0.708,0.777).The expressing levels of CD11 b mRNA in the retinal microglials were significantly higher in the 4th and 7th day in the normal saline solution group than those in the minocycline group (t4 d =8.312,P＜0.01 ;t7d=5.407,P＜0.01),but were not significantly different in the 11st and 14th day after modeling between the two groups (P=0.055,0.170).Conclusions Minocycline can play a neuroprotective effect on RGCs in the early stage of optic nerve crush in mice by inhibiting microglia activation and decreasing RGCs apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:Bone loss to different degrees may appear within 1 year after hip replacement in the femoral or acetabular sides, and severely affect long-term stability of the prosthesis and bone strength. Thus, to reduce bone loss around the prosthesis stem after total hip replacement is significant to prolong the use time of the prosthesis and to prevent fractures surrounding the prosthesis.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the preventive effect of zoledronic acid on bone loss surrounding the prosthesis stem after hip replacement.
METHODS:A total of 80 patients after total hip replacement in the People’s Hospital of Shenxian from February 2011 to September 2014 were enrol ed in this study. They were divided into two groups (n=40). At 4 days after replacement, patients in the observation group received treatment with zoledronic acid, but those in the control group did not give zoledronic acid. The rest medication was identical between the two groups. Bone mineral density in the hip was measured before replacement and at 1 year after replacement in both groups. Serum calcium and
phosphorus levels and alkaline phosphatase activities were observed before replacement, 3 days and 1 year after medication in the two groups. Adverse reaction during medication was recorded in the observation group.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average bone mineral density was significantly decreased in both groups at 1 year after replacement, and significant differences were found as compared with before replacement (P<0.05). The average bone mineral density was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group at 1 year after
replacement (P<0.05). Calcium and phosphorus levels were significantly diminished at 3 days after medication as compared with that before replacement (P<0.05). Calcium and phosphorus levels maintained at the level before replacement at 1 year after medication. Alkaline phosphatase activities were slightly reduced within a short time after replacement in both groups, but no significant difference was found as compared with before replacement (P>0.05). Alkaline phosphatase activities were low in the observation group at 1 year after medication, and significant difference was detected as compared with the control group and that before replacement (P<0.05). No significant difference in alkaline phosphatase activities was detectable in the control group between 1-year post medication and pre-replacement (P>0.05). Within two or three days after medication, nine patients suffered from varying degrees of muscle aches and fever in the observation group, and above symptoms were lessened after taking acetaminophen. These results verify that after total hip replacement, zoledronic acid injection can effectively prevent bone loss around the prosthesis in early stage after replacement, but fever symptoms may occur within a week after replacement. Thus, it is recommended that zoledronic acid injection can be given at 1 week after replacement. If fever and other symptoms appear, acetaminophen can be given.

Background and purpose:The American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG) Z0011 trial has been described as practice-changing of sentinel lymph node (SLN) positive breast cancers. The goal of this study was to determine the exportability of the criteria deifned by Z0011 trial for selecting patients who are eligible for avoiding axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) after a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) result in China.Methods:We collected 194 breast cancer patients with positive SLNs and classiifed them into two groups according to Z0011 criteria. One group was consisted of patients who were eligible for omitting ALND and with SLNB only. The other one was ALND group. Then the patients of SLNB group were compared with cohort included in the Z0011 trial and the ALND group of this study separately.Results:Seventy-seven patients were potentially eligible for omitting ALND and 117 patients were still needed to have ALND. Compared with Z0011 cohort, the SLNB group in this research had signiifcantly more T1 stage and ER positive tumors (P<0.05). More patients in SLNB group had positive LNs with the number less than 3 and negative NSLNs (P<0.05). The ALND group had more T2 and T3 stage tumors than the SLNB group but the difference was not signiifcantly. The number of positive LNs in ALND group was higher than the SLNB group signiifcantly (P<0.05). More patients in the ALND group had positive non-sentinel lymph node (NSLN) than the SLNB group and the difference was also signiifcantly (P<0.05).Conclusion:Applied to the SLN positive patients in this study, Z0011 criteria could make patients with better prognosis and lower risk than Z0011 cohort be selected and let these patients avoiding ALND more safely.
