Objective To investigate the effect of early life stress on the locomotion and concentration of corticosterone in peripheral blood in adult rats.Methods Maternal deprivation and isolation were used in the model of early life stress. Chronic stress was used in adult rats.Open field test was used for the measurement of locomotion activity. ELISA was used to measure the concentration of corticosterone in peripheral blood.Results The total activity time of locomotion[(296.96±6.63)s, (291.06±8.40)s;P<0.01] and the concentration of corticosterone [(15.51±2.41)nmol/L,(11.27±2.49)nmol/L;P<0.05]were increased in adult rats by maternal deprivation. The total activity distance [(23231.29±2030.35)mm,(14042.81.06±2875.34)mm;P<0.05] and time[(296.39±3.48)s,(259.18±4.71)s;P<0.01]were increased after chronic stress which was used in adult rats in which maternal deprivation were used before. The concentration of corticosterone[(20.60±1.83)nmol/L,(14.49±1.37)nmol/L;P<0.01]was also increased in the same condition.Conclusions The concentration of corticosterone and locomotion activity of adult rats can be increased by early life stress. The reaction of HPA axis for chronic stress was improved by early life stress.

Objective: To observe the effects of mild moxibustion on angiogenesis and microcirculation in wound repair after operation of anal fistula, and to explore the mechanism of action. Methods: Seventy-two SD male rats were made to bear an "acute, open, bleeding, infected" wound surface and were divided randomly into mild moxibustion group, microwave group and control group (24 rats per group). The wound surfaces of the treatment groups were treated for 15 min with mild moxibustion or microwave medical instrument from the first day after operation, and the control group was not given any treatment. At the first, third, seventh and fourteenth days after operation (1, 3, 7 and 14 days of treatment), six rats in each group were sacrificed after examining the blood flow of the wound surface, and the samples of granulation tissues were collected. The numbers of CD34 and positive expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in granulation tissues were detected. Results: In the early and middle stages of wound healing, mild moxibustion could obviously increase the expression of VEGF, the number of CD34, and the blood flow of the wound surface. And the expression of VEGF, the number of CD34, and the blood flow of the wound surface began to increase at the third day, and reached the peak level at the seventh day, and then began to decrease. In the late stage of wound healing (day 14), mild moxibustion could decrease the expression of VEGF, the number of CD34, and decrease the blood flow of the wound surface. There were significant differences between the mild moxibustion group and the control group in the blood flow of the wound surface, the expression of VEGF and the numbers of CD34 in granulation tissues (P<0.05) after treatment, and except the number of CD34 at 14-day treatment, there were also differences between the mild moxibustion group and the microwave group. Conclusion: Mild moxibustion has better regulative actions on blood flow of the wound surface and the number of CD34 and positive expression of VEGF in granulation tissues, and can regulate microcirculation in wound surface and promote the wound healing.

Objective:To investigate the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC) and its relationship with the prognosis of patients with PDAC.Methods:From January 2001 to December 2012, 109 paraffin embedded PDAC tissue samples and 27 normal pancreatic tissue samples were collected from the Department of Pathology, Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. The expression of HER2 protein in pancreatic tissue was detected by immunohistochemical Envision two-step method. HER2 expression was evaluated according to Hercept test, and its relationship with clinicopathological features and survival time was analyzed.Results:The expression of HER2 protein was negative (-) in 29.4% of PDAC tissues, weakly positive (+ ) in 35.8%, positive (+ + ) in 25.7% and strongly positive (+ + + ) in 9.2%, respectively, and the overexpression rate (+ + , + + + ) was 34.9%; the negative (-) and weakly positive (+ ) expression of HER2 protein in normal pancreatic tissues accounted for 88.9% and 11.1% respectively. There was no expression with positive (+ + ) or strongly positive (+ + + ), therefore, the overexpression rate was 0. The overexpression rate of HER2 protein in PDAC and normal pancreatic tissues was significantly different ( P=0.000). The expression of HER2 protein was significantly correlated with age, and the expression of HER2 protein in patients with PDAC over 65 years old was significantly higher than that in patients with PDAC under 65 years old ( P=0.043), but not with gender, tumor location, tumor grade, T stage, N stage and nerve invasion (all P>0.05). Univariate Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that HER2 expression was associated with postoperative survival time of patients with PDAC ( P=0.032). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that HER2 expression was an independent prognostic factor for survival of patients with PDAC ( P=0.040). The median survival period of patients with HER2 expression + + + was significantly longer than that of patients with HER2 expression -~+ + (128.4 months vs 21.5 months), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.038). Conclusions:The overexpression of HER2 in PDAC tissue was related to the age of patients. The survival time of patients with HER2 strongly positive PDAC was significantly longer. HER2 can be considered as an index to evaluate the biological behavior and prognosis of PDAC.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between level of Th17/CD4+T cell ratio in peripheral blood and postoperative complications in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).
METHODSFifty-one patients with HBV-related cirrhosis who received OLT were enrolled in this study. Flow cytometry analysis was performed to measure the proportion of Th17 cells to CD4+T cells at the following time points:pre-OLT, and post-OLT days 7, 14 and 21. The relevant hepatic biochemistry indexes, serum concentration of FK506 and level of procalcitonin (PCT) were detected for all patients after OLT.
RESULTSThe transplant recipients were divided into four groups according to the postoperative complication, which included acute rejection (AR, n=12), postoperative infection (POI, n=10), transient intrahepatic cholestasis (TIHC, n=12) and no complications (n=17). The Th17/CD4+T cell frequencies were notably higher in the AR patients after OLT (vs. before OLT, P less than 0.01) and this increase was positively correlated with rejection activity index (RAI; r=0.759, P=0.004). Up to post-OLT day 14, the frequencies of Th1 7/CD4+T cells in the POI group were similar to those of the AR group but they decreased to near-baseline level at post-OLT day 21.Furthermore, the percentage of Th17/CD4+T cells in the POI group was positively correlated with PCT (r=0.768, P=0.010). The frequencies of Th17/CD4+T cells in the TIHC and no complications groups showed a slowly decreasing trend after OLT and became markedly lower than the before OLT levels (P<0.01). The concentration of FK506 in the AR group was significantly lower than that in the other groups at post-OLT day 14 (P=0.000).
CONCLUSIONSTh17/CD4+T cell level in peripheral blood might be a useful marker for risk assessment and monitoring of OLT postoperative complications, such as acute rejection and postoperative infection, in the early stage, and might help to improve patient prognosis by allowing for timely application of anti-rejection and antibacterial agents.
