1.Molecular markers of autophagy.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2016;51(1):33-38
Autophagy is a physiological process which delivers the mutant cytoplasmic proteins and dysfunctional subcellular organs into lysosomes for degradation to generate fuel in the deficiency conditions. It is mainly classified into macroautophagy, microautophagy and chaperon-mediated autophagy (CMA), as well as the selective autophagy such as mitophagy and aggrephagy. This review mainly introduces the key molecular markers of macroautophagy, CMA and mitophagy.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect and safety of transurethral holmium laser resection of bladder tumors.Methods A total of 20 patients with bladder tumors(stage Ta~T2a)was treated by holmium laser resection transurethrally.There were 17 patients with primary tumor and 3 patients with recurrent tumor.The laser power was set at 15~40 W.Small lesions were vaporized directly,while large ones(more than 1.0 cm in diameter and with broad pedicels)were incised from the pedicel,with neighboring tissues 1~2 cm in extent vaporized and cauterized.Results The tumors were removed on one session in all the 20 patients.The operation time was 10~70 min(mean,30 min).No complications such as obturator nerve reflex,bladder perforation,or overhydration occurred.No blood transfusion was required.The postoperative catheterization time was 1~5 days(mean,3 days).No recurrence was found during follow-up examinations for 3 months in 16 patients and 6 months in 4 patients(mean,3.6 months).Conclusions Transurethral holmium laser resection of bladder tumors is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of bladder tumors.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of two minimal invasive surgeries,transurethral Holmium laser and electric incision,in the treatment of cystitis glandularis(CG).Methods From January 2004 to June 2006,63 cases of CG were confirmed pathologically by using cystoscopy.Among the patients,35 were treated by transurethral Holmium laser and 28 by transurethral electric incision.All the cases received postoperative chemotherapy with mitomycin bladder irrigation and were followed up for 6 to 18 months.The efficacy of the two surgical procedures was evaluated during the follow-up.Results Compared with the electric incision group,the mean operation time and hospital stay was significantly shorter [(15.3?5.1) min vs(20.8?6.3) min,t=-3.831,P=0.000;and(2.4?1.7) d vs(4.0?1.5) d,t=-3.909,P=0.000;respectively],and the rate of complications was significantly lower [0%(0/35) vs 14.3%(4/28),?2=5.339,P=0.021] in the Holmium laser group.Six months after the operation,the cure rate of the Holmium laser group was significantly higher and the recurrence rate was significantly lower than those in the electric incision group [82.9%(29/35) vs 60.7%(17/28),?2=3.871,P=0.049;and 5.7%(2/35) vs 25.0%(7/28),?2=4.725,P=0.030].Conclusions The transurethral Holmium laser is a safe,effective,and convenient method for the treatment of CG.Since the method can not only achieve a high cure rate and low recurrence rate,but also avoid lower urinary obstruction,we recommend it as the first choice for CG.

Objective To observe the effect of TGF-β1 on activation and epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT) in rat hepatic stellate cell-T6.Methods Adopt the MTT method to screen the optimum concentration of TGF-β1 in vitro HSC-T6 cultured.After the HSC-T6 stimulation by TGF-β1 of 10 μg/L for 24 hours, the morphology of the cells was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope, the expression of F-actin which on behalf of cotoskeletal structure was detected by immunofluorescence staining;the expression of α-SMA and N-cadherin,vimentin,E-cadherin was measured by RT-qPCR;The changes of α-SMA,N-cadherin,vimentin and E-cadherin were assessed by Western blot after different concentrations (0,5 and 10 μg/L) of TGF-β1 interventing HSC-T6 for 24 h.Results The optimal cell survival rate was recorded when 10 μg/L TGF-β1 dealt withcells for 24 h.After HSC-T6 were treated with TGF-β1,cells stretched, pseudopodia increased and turn into stellate, cells connections were looser, so that represented a significantly activated state.F-actin filaments gathered to form stress and distributed along the long axis of the cells;The expression of α-SMA mRNA and vimentin mRNA in experimental group was significantly higher while E-cadherin mRNA was obviously lower than the control group(P<0.05).TGF-β1 made the protein expression of α-SMA and N-cadherin, vimentin in dose-dependent increased while E-cadherin was decreased.Conclusions TGF-β1 may induce activation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of HSC-T6.

Objective To investigate apoptosis of polymorphonuclear neutrophil and activity of caspase-3 in the peripheral blood and discuss their correlation with development of multiple organ dysfunc- tion syndrome (MODS) after multiple injury. Methods A total of 55 patients with multiple injury were included in the prospective study, and divided into two groups, ie, MODS group (multiple injury patients who developed MODS,) and non-MODS group (multiple injury patients who were free from MODS). The activity of caspase-3 was detected by flow cytometry and the serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were detected by ELISA. Then, we evaluated whether the neutrophil apoptesis was correlated with the ser- um levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in patients with MODS. Results Compared with non-MODS group, neu- trophil apoptesis was significantly reduced and activated caspase-3 decreased significantly in MODS group (P <0.05). In MODS group, serum IL-6 was increased significantly while serum IL-10 was decreased significantly compared with non-MODS group. The apoptosis of neutrophil in multiple injury patients with MODS had a negative correlation with IL-6 levels but a positive correlation with IL-10 levels. Conclu- sions The delayed apoptosis of neutrophil due to decreased activated caspase-3 may play partial roles in the development of MODS after multiple injury. IL-6 and IL-10 may contribute to the apoptotic changes.

Objective To investigate the population genetic polymorphisms of 24 Y-STR loci in unrelat-ed individuals in Eastern Chinese Han population, and to compare the difference of Han group between Eastern China and Guangdong.Methods The population genetics of 24 Y-STR loci in 268 unrelated Han individuals from Eastern China were analyzed by GFS 24 Y-STR amplification kit. The allele fre-quencies in Eastern Chinese Han population were compared with the data in Guangdong Han population, and the difference analysis between two groups was performed.Results Among the 24 Y-STR loci of 268 unrelated Han individuals from Eastern China, 235 alleles and 267 haplotypes were observed. GD value ranged from 0.5649 to 0.9668. The difference between 12 loci(DYS622,DYS552,DYS443etal.) of Han population in Eastern China and in Guangdong was statistically significance.Conclusion GFS 24Y STR amplification system shows favorable polymorphisms, which can be used in patrilineal genetic relationship identification.

Objective To investiGate the distribution of clinical infectious pathoGens and druG resistance status of common bacteria in the Ninth Peopleˊs Hospital Affiliated to medicine School of ShanGhai Jiao TonG University in 20l2. Methods Clinical isolated bacterial strains were collected from the Ninth Peopleˊs Hospital Affiliated to medicine School of ShanGhai Jiao TonG University durinG 20l2. The identification of bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility were determined by VITEK 2 COMPACT automatic microbioloGy analyzer. The data were analyzed by WHONET 5. 4 software. Results A total of 3456 pathoGenic strains were collected. Of them,Gram positive cocci,Gram neGative bacilli and funGus accounted for 20. 3%,76. 8% and 2. 9% respectively. Methicillin resistant strains in S. aureus( MRSA ) and coaGulase neGative Staphylococcus ( MRCNS)accounted for averaGe of 44. 4% and 85. 5% respectively. No vancomycin and linezolid resistant strains were found. Extended spectrumβ-lactamases strains accounted for 66. 4% and 30. 6% in Escherichia coli ( E. coli)and Klebsiella spp respectively. Strains of E. coli and Klebsiella spp were still hiGhly susceptible to imipenem. Resistance rates of P. aeruGinosa and A. baumannii sppstrains to imipenem were 8. 3% and 58. 4%respectively. Conclusion The major clinical pathoGenic microorGanisms in the Ninth Peopleˊs Hospital Affiliated to medicine School of ShanGhai Jiao TonG University are still Gram neGative bacilli. Baterial resistance is serious. It is important to strenGthen the detection of resistant bacteria in routine work,which is useful for rational use of antimicrobial aGents.
