Objective To investigate the effects of the zinc finger protein A20 on LPS-TLR4 signaling pathways in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) rats.Methods 24 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:group A(the sham operation group),group B (the SAP group),group C (the SAP group treated with LPS).SAP model was induced by retro-injection of intraductal 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliary-pancreatic duct as previously described.The protein expression of A20,TLR4,NF-κBp65 and p38MAPK in pancreatic tissues was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.Results The positive area of A20 in pancreatic tissues was decreased in group B and group C compared with that in group A (t =17.234,19.698,all P < 0.05).On the contrary,the expression of TLR4,NF-κBp65 and p38MAPK in pancreatic tissues were up-regulated(t =15.909,20.432,16.543,18.629,22.105,19.006,all P < 0.05).A20 was decreased in group C than that in group B (t =14.894,P < 0.05),while TLR4、NF-κBp65 and p38MAPK were increased in group C than those in group B (t =14.047,15.582,17.070,all P <0.05).Conclusion The expression of A20 reduced and TLR4,NF-κBp65 and p38MAPK enhanced in the pancreas of rats with SAP,which indicated that A20 inhibited LPS-TLR4 signaling pathways which play important roles in the pathogenesis of SAP.

Objective To investigate the correlation of single nucleotide polymorphisms( SNP) of rs228648 and rs2890565 in urotensin Ⅱ (UTS2)gene with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods The genotypes of two SNPs in UTS2 gene were determined through polymerase chain reaction Tin-shift genotyping method. 101 Chinese Han families trios in Shandong Province consisting of fathers,mothers,and affected daughters with PCOS and 105 healthy women were recruited. The physiological and biochemical parameters including serum follicular stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone( LH),testosterone,fasting plasma glucose,and insulin were also measured. Results The distributions of three genotypes and two alleles of SNP rs228648 in UTS2 gene were similar between PCOS group and control group. The distributions of genotypes of SNP rs2890565 in UTS2 gene differed significantly between PCOS group and control group (P<0. 05). The frequency of A allele of SNP rs2890565 in UTS2 gene was significantly higher in PCOS group than that in control group( P<0.05). Transmission disequilibrium test(TDT) did not show significantly biased transmission of two different alleles from parents to affected daughters at rs228648 locus (P>0. 05) ,but showed an excess transmission of A allele from heterozygous parents to affected offspring at rs2890565 locus (P<0. 05). The carriers with GG genotype of SNP rs228648 had significantly higher HOMA-IR compared to those with AA and AG genotypes. The carriers with AA or AG genotype of SNP rs2890565 had significantly higher fasting plasma glucose and fasting insulin compared to those with GG genotypes. HOMA-IR in cases with AA genotype was significantly higher than that with GG genotype. Conclusions There is no association of SNP rs228648 with PCOS, but exists association with insulin resistance. The genetic polymorphism of UTS2 gene rs2890565 may be associated with PCOS,and the higher frequency of A allele is likely to contribute to PCOS.

Objective:To determine drug dose and usage of timolol maleate eye drops in the treatment of superficial infantile hemangioma.Methods:A total of 250 superficial hemangioma infants were recruited and assigned into 5 groups (n=50 for each group):an external application group and 4 exterior coating groups (2,4,6,8 times per day).We evaluated the therapeutic effect of different methods for drug application (external application or exterior coating) and the frequency for drug administration on superficial infantile hemangioma.Results:The external application group (twice a day and 0.5 hour per time) showed better effect than that in the exterior coating group with twice a day (P<0.001).The difference in therapeutic effect between the exterior coating group with 6 times a day and exterior coating group with twice a day or with 3 times a day was significant (P<0.001).The differences in drug efficacy were not found among the exterior coating group with 6 times a day,the exterior coating group with 8 times a day,or the external application group with twice a day (All P>0.05).Conclusion:Drug dose may affect the therapeutic effect oftimolol maleate eye drops in superficial hemangioma infants,and exterior coating with 6 times a day may achieve the best curative effect.

China Modern Doctor 2018;56(14):143-145
Objective To evaluate the application value of the collaborative seamless whole-term care model in patients with endoscopic mucosal resection of gastric polyps. Methods 80 patients with endoscopic mucosal resection of gastric polyps who were treated and given nursing intervention in the hospital from March 2015 to September 2017 were used as the analysis data of this article. The patients were grouped according to different nursing interventions, with 40 cases were in each group. The experimental group was treated with collaborative seamless whole-term care model. And the reference group was treated with general care. The SAS scores, SDS scores, postoperative complication rate and nursing satisfaction total rate between two groups were calculated before and after the intervention. Results There were significant differences in the SAS scores, SDS scores, postoperative complication rate and nursing satisfaction total rate between the experimental group and the reference group after intervention(P<0. 05). Conclusion Collaborative seamless whole-term care model in patients with endoscopic mucosal resection of gastric polyps exhibits good results.

Infantile hemangioma is the most common benign tumors in infancy with predictable disease evolution and duration. At present, the basic understanding of the development, proliferation and regression of infantile hemangioma is not sufficient, an ideal lively human infantile hemangioma model which could provide a standard platform for observation of cellular, molecular basis of infantile hemangioma development and drug mechanism is urgently needed. Up to now, a model that completely mimics the biological behavior of infantile hemangiomas has not been successfully established, but the existing research progress has laid a solid foundation for the pathogenesis of hemangioma and clinical targeted therapy. In this paper, the research progress of cell line and animal model of infantile hemangioma and its clinical value in recent years were summarized, as well as the favorable factors that may be used in the construction of infant hemangioma model in the future, providing the latest reference for the selection of animal model of infantile hemangioma.

Background:
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) leads to thinning of scalp hair and affects 60%~70% of the adult population worldwide. Developing more effective treatments and studying its mechanism are of great significance. Previous clinical studies have revealed that hair growth is stimulated by 650-nm red light.
Objective:
This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of 650-nm red light on the treatment of AGA by using ex vivo hair follicle culture.
Methods:
Human hair follicles were obtained from hair transplant patients with AGA. Hair follicles were cultured in Williams E medium and treated with or without 650-nm red light.Real-time RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the expression level of genes and proteins in hair follicles, respectively. RNA-sequencing analysis was carried out to reveal the distinct gene signatures upon 650 nm treatment.
Results:
Low-level 650 nm red light promoted the proliferation of human hair follicles in the experimental cultured-tissue model. Consistently, 650 nm red light significantly delayed the transition of hair cycle from anagen to catagen in vitro. RNA-seq analysis and gene clustering for the differentially expressed genes suggests that leukocyte transendothelial migration, metabolism, adherens junction and other biological process maybe involved in stimulation of hair follicles by 650-nm red light treatment.
Conclusion
The effect of 650-nm red light on ex vivo hair follicles and the transcriptome set which implicates the role of red light in promoting hair growth and reversing of miniaturization process of AGA were identified.
