Objective To study the effects of profound hemodilution with 6% HES (200/0.5) on coagulation.Methods Ten male new Zealand long-ear rabbits weighing (2.43 ?0.19) kg were anesthetized with intravenous thiopentone 8 mg-1 and tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated (VT = 15 ml-1 , RR = 24 bpm) . Anesthesia was maintained with intravenous infusion of thiopentone and succinylcholine. Femoral artery and vein were cannulated for BP and CVP monitoring. Hemodilution was performed in 6 steps at 30 min intervals. Blood was withdrawn from artery and simultaneously replaced by intravenous infusion of equal volume of 6% HES until Hct was 5 % -8 % . Blood samples were taken before hemodilution and 30 min after each step of hemodilution for determination of coagulation function curve using Sonoclot coagulation and platelet function analyzer. Results When Hct was 25%-30% there was no significant difference in coagulation function before and after hemodilution. When Hct was 15%-20% there was significant difference in ACT, TTP, clot rate and MCS before and after hemodilution but the normal coagulation process was not affected. When Hct

Objective To construct the recombinant adeno-associated virus vector with human preproenkephalin gene (rAAV-hPPE). Methods The human preproenkephalin (hPPE) gene was cloned into the adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector plasmid pSNAV which contained neo expression box. The recombinant pSNAV-hPPE was then transfected into BHK cells using lipofectamine?2000. The G418-resistant cells, BHK / SH1, were obtained. The BHK / SH1 cells were infected with HSV1-rc /△UL2 which has the function of packaging the recombinant AAV(rAAV) . After purification, the construction of rAAV-hPPE was achieved.Results The construction of pSNAV-hPPE was confirmed by digestion with restriction enzyme. Southeon bolting was used to detect the virus liters (2.5 ? 1212 v.g /ml) .Conclusion This rAAV-hPPE virus vector with high liter and strong infectivity can be used in transgenic analgesic research.

Objective To investigate the effects of simvastatin on the expression of lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) or Glucose in U937 macrophages, and explore the role of NF-κB in modulating of LOX-1 expression. Methods U937 macrophages were treated with PMA to induce differentiation, which were co-cultured with 50 mg/L ox-LDL or/and 25 mmol/L glucose. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) and simvastatin (1 μmol/L or 10 μmol/L) were used to treat cells. The expression of LOX-1 protein and NF-κB ac- tivity were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology. The expression of LOX-1 mRNA was measured by RT-PCR. Results The expression of LOX-1 was up regulated by ox-LDL, glucose and combination of both. The inhibitor of NF-κB PDTC suppressed this up-regulation. Simvastatin suppressed the expression of LOX-1 induced by ox-LDL, and showed a significant effect in the higher concentration. There was no significant effect of simvastatin on the expression of LOX-1 induced by glucose. The variation of NF-κB activity was similar to that of LOX-1 expression. Conclusion Simvas- tatin suppressed the expression of LOX-1 induced by ox-LDL, while no significant effect on the expression of LOX-1 in- duced by glucose. The expression and regulation of LOX-1 were related with NF-κB pathway.

Objective To investigate the expressions and correlations of Kiss-1 and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP9) proteins in the colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues of patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastasis (SCRLM),and the association with the clinicopathologic factors and prognosis of patients.Methods The retrospective case-control study was adopted.The clinicopathological data of 96 patients with SCRLM and 69 patients with CRC and no metastasis who were admitted to the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of the Second Military Medical University from January 2000 to May 2013 were collected.The 96 CRC tissues and 50 adjacent normal tissues (distance from resection margin ≥ 5 cm) were collected from 96 patients with SCRLM,and 69 CRC tissues were collected from 69 patients with CRC and no metastasis.Expressions of Kiss-1 and MMP9 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC).The follow-up of outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect survival of patients till August 2014.Comparison of count data and correlation between expressions of Kiss-1 or MMP9 protein and clinicopathological factors were analyzed by the chi-square test and Fisher exact probability.Survival curve was drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method,and survival analysis was done using the Log-rank test.Correlation analysis was done by the Pearson correlation.Results Expression of Kiss-1 protein was located in the cytoplasm of tissue cells.The positive expression rates of Kiss-1 protein in CRC tissues of patients with SCRLM and with CRC and no metastasis and in adjacent normal tissues were 24.0％ (23/96),43.5％ (30/69) and 52.0％ (26/50),respectively,with a significant difference among the 3 tissues (x2 =14.307,P ＜ 0.05) and no significant difference between CRC tissues of patients with CRC and no metastasis and patients with SCRLM (x2 =0.845,P ＞ 0.05).The positive expression rate of Kiss-1 protein in CRC tissues of patients with SCRLM was significantly different from that in CRC tissues of patients with CRC and no metastasis and in adjacent normal tissues (x2 =0.702,11.594,P ＜ 0.05).Expression of MMP9 protein was located in the cytoplasm of tissue cells.The positive expression rates of MMP9 protein in CRC tissues of patients with SCRLM and with CRC and no metastasis and in adjacent normal tissues were 67.7 ％ (65/96),62.3 ％ (43/69) and 36.0％ (18/50),respectively,with a significant difference among the 3 tissues (x2=14.203,P ＜0.05) and no significant difference between CRC tissues of patients with CRC and no metastasis and patients with SCRLM (x2=8.038,P ＞ 0.05).The positive expression rate of MMP9 protein in CRC tissues of patients with SCRLM was significantly different from that in CRC tissues of patients with CRC and no metastasis and in adjacent normal tissues (x2 =13.475,13.475,P ＜ 0.05).The positive expression rates of Kiss-1 protein in CRC tissues of patients with SCRLM were 66.7％,21.9％ and 17.6％ in the high-,mederate-and low-differentiated tumor,50.0％,28.6％ and 17.5％ in the muscular layer of tumor invasion,outside of serosa and serosal layer,44.0％ and 16.9％ in patients with and without lymph node metastasis,respectively,showing significant differences among the tumor differentiation degree,depth of tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis (x2=6.546,6.172,7.453,P ＜0.05).The positive expression rates of MMP9 protein in CRC tissues of patients with SCRLM were 25.0％,66.7％ and 76.2％ in the muscular layer of tumor invasion,outside of serosa and serosal layer,44.0％ and 76.1％ in patients with and without lymph node metastasis,respectively,showing significant differences between the depth of tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis (x2 =12.094,8.690,P ＜ 0.05).All the 96 patients with SCRLM were followed up for a median time of 68 months (range,12-176 months).The median overall survival time,median tumor-free survival time,5-year cumulative survival rate and 5-year tumor-free survival rate were 31 months,26 months,69.6％ and 26.1％ in patients with SCRLM and positive expression of Kiss-1 protein and 26 months,19 months,24.7％ and 12.3％ in patients with SCRLM and negative expression of Kiss-1 protein,respectively,showing significant differences between the overall survival and tumor-free survival (x2=16.578,14.436,P ＜ 0.05).The median overall survival time,median tumor-free survival time,5-year cumulative survival rate and 5-year tumor-free survival rate were 31 months,19 months,24.6％ and 12.3％ in patients with SCRLM and positive expression of MMP9 protein and 28 months,16 months,58.1％ and 22.6％ in patients with SCRLM and negative expression of MMP9 protein,respectively,showing significant differences between the overall survival and tumor-free survival (x2=14.073,8.532,P ＜0.05).Of 96 patients with SCRLM,there were 23 patients with positive expression of Kiss-1 protein (10 with positive expression of MMP9 protein and 13 with negative expression of MMP9 protein) and 73 with negative expression of Kiss-1 protein (55 with positive expression of MMP9 protein and 18 with negative expression of MMP9 protein),with a negative correlation between expressions of Kiss-1 protein and MMP9 protein (r =-0.291,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The reduced expression of Kiss-1 protein and elevated expression of MMP9 protein are closely associated with invasion and metastasis of CRC and prognosis of patients.A combination detection of Kiss-1 and MMP9 proteins is expected to become a marker for predicting the prognosis of patients with SCRLM based on the negative correlation between them.

Objective To determine the value of ischemia modified albumin,heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natri-uretic peptide and homocysteine in the risk stratification of patients with unstable angina pectoris;thus to provide an assessment for the condition of patients in clinic.Methods 135 patients with unstable angina were included in the disease group and subjected to risk stratification according to GRACE risk score software,70 cases of low-risk group,60 cases in the middle-risk group and 5 cases in the high-risk group.Another 145 healthy people were in the control group.The levels of ischemia modified albumin,heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natriuretic peptide and homocysteine were detected and compared.Results Between the control group and the disease group,significant difference of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natriuretic peptide and homocys-teine was found (P <0.05),but the difference of ischemia modified albumin was not statistically significant(P >0.05).In the dis-ease group,the levels of ischemia modified albumin,heart-type fatty acid-binding protein and homocysteine in each risk stratification showed no significant difference(P >0.05).The level of B-type natriuretic peptide in high-risk group was higher than that in the low-risk group and in the middle-risk group and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05),while there was no statisti-cally significant difference between the low-risk group and the middle-risk group(P >0.05 ).Conclusion The detection of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natriuretic peptide and homocysteine possesses certain meaning in diagnosing unstable angi-na,and the level of B-type natriuretic peptide indicates the risk degree of the disease.

Objective To study the long-term neurodevelopment in term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia and explore the predictive value of cerebrospinal fluid neuron specific enolase (CSF-NSE) on long-term neurodevelopment outcome.Methods A mental and psychomotor scale for 0-4 years old was performed to evaluate the intelligence development of 39 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia and 39 randomly selected healthy controls when they were at 3 to 24 months old. The former were tested for the level of CSF-NSE in jaundice climax.Results There was significant difference between 2 groups in total development quotient (DQ) tested at 3 month and 24 month old (P=0, 0.047). It was shown that the DQ scores for fine activity and social behavior were significantly lower in the study group than those in the control group (Pa=0). Furthermore, within the hyperbilirubinemia group, CSF-NSE was significantly associated with DQ of 3 month and 24 month old, while there was not association with TSB. The correlation coefficients were -0.46(P=0.04) and -0.32(P=0.047),respectively.Conclusions Hyperbilirubinemia may influence long-term neurodevelopment of term infants and CSF-NSE can predict this outcome.

Objective To establish a human colon cancer multi-drug resistant cell line LS174T/5-fluorouracil(5-Fu) and to explore its biological characteristics. Methods A resistant human colon cancer line LS174T/5-Fu was established by stepwise increasing concentrations of fluorouracil selection from the parental cell line LS174T.Drug sensitivity was detected by MTT assay,and the changes of biological characteristics were determined by light microscopy,cell counting,flow cytometry and RT-PCR. Results LS174T/5-Fu cell line was developed after 6 months with stable resistance to 5-Fu and a resistance index of 40.24.The cells exhibited cross-resistance to cisplatin,etoposide,doxifluridine and hydeoxycamptothecin.LS174T/5-Fu cells grew more slowly than LS174T cells,which was longer than LS174T cell line.Cell cycle distribution of LS174T/5-Fu cells was changed compared with parental cells.The percentage of cells in G_(1) and S phase was increased,while in G_(2) phase was decreased.The level of MRP mRNA expression was increased according to the concentration of 5-Fu in resistant cell lines. Conclusion LS174T/5-Fu cells is a reliable multi-drug resistant cell subline of human colon cancer.The successful establishment of this cell subline has laid a solid foundation for further study of the multi-drug resistant mechanism of human colon cancer induced by 5-fluorouracil.
