1.Lymphoma and cAMP signaling pathway
China Oncology 2016;26(6):556-560
Several signaling pathways are involved in clonal proliferation of lymphoma cells and disease progression. It has been shown that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway, as an important intra-cellular messenger delivery system, is related to modulation of multiple physiological processes including cell prolifer-ation, secretion, metabolism and apoptosis. Manipulating the cAMP signaling pathway can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of various malignant lymphoid cells, which involves mitochondria-dependent apoptosis and cAMP-modulated protein kinases as well as changes of intracellular mediators. In-depth research and analysis of cAMP-induced apoptosis in lymphoma cells would provide potential targets and possible therapeutic means for the treatment of lymphoma.

Aim To investigate the effects of Vam3 on ATP-induced inflammatory response in macrophages and the underlying mechanisms. Methods LPS primed mouse peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with ATP,and IL-1βlevel in supernatants was meas-ured by ELISA.Activity of caspase 1 was measured u-sing caspase 1 activity assay kit.Reactive oxygen spe-cies (ROS )level was detected with fluorescent probe DCFH-DA.MTT assay was used to detect cell prolifer-ation,and intracellular Ca2+concentration was meas-ured using laser scanning confocal microscope.Results Extracellular ATP led to increase in IL-1βrelease, caspase 1 activity and ROS production.It also led to rapid increase in intracellular Ca2+concentration and induced cell death.These effects were inhibited by Vam3 .Conclusion Vam3 inhibits ATP-induced in-flammatory response in macrophages,which may sug-gest the blocking effect of Vam3 on caspase 1 ~IL-1βinflammatory signaling pathway in macrophages.

Objective To measure the extent of malrotation of femur fractures with CT scan after fixation with interlocking intramedullary nailing , and to discuss the methods which can help to correct the malrotation of femur fracture during the operation. MethodWith CT scan, the anteversion of femur fracture after the close reduction and fixation with interlocking intramedullary nailing in 56 cases was measured, and the difference of anteversion between the fracture side and the contralateral side was evaluated. The increase of anteversion represented internal rotation of the distal fragment, whereas the decrease of anteversion meaned external rotation. According to AO classification system, the type A of infratrochanteric fractures happened in 9 cases, type A of femoral shaft fractures happened in 12 cases, type B in 15 cases,type C in 7 cases,and 13 cases of femoral supercondyle fractures were type A. ResultThe results of measurement showed that the femoral anteversion after fixation with interlocking intramedullary nailing was changed in all patients. The anteversion of the femoral shaft fracture ranged from 13.35?to 47.21?. The aneversion of infrotrochanteric fractures ranged from -7.12?to 36.35?, and the supercondyle fracture of femur from -11.10?to 39.22?. For the extent of malrotation of distal femoral fracture, the internal rotation was more obvious than the external rotation. The number of Internal rotation cases accounted for 60.71%, and the external cases accounted for 39.29%. The maximum internal malrotation happened in femoral shaft fracture, from 1.37?to 29.82?with average malrotation 12.34?. and the minimum internal malrotation happened in infratrochanteri fracture, from 0.81?to 23.21?,with the average malrotation 8.32?. The medium internal malrotation was femoral supercondyle fracture, from 1.72?to 27.11? with the average malrotation 8.38?. The maximum external malrotation happened in femoral shaft fracture, from 1.11?to 21.12?with the average of them 9.33?. The minimum external malrotation happened in infratrochanteri fracture, from 1.31?to 16.23?with the average 7.71?. The medium external malrotation was seen in femoral supercondyle fracture, from 0.97?to 17.96?with average 8.22?. For these three parts of femoral fracture, the partnership T test was done between the fracture side and the contralateral side, the results showed that there were significant differences among of them,P
