Aim To investigate the mechanism of the melanoma B16 F10 cells proliferation induced by Lico-chalcone A in vitro. Methods The proliferation of B16 F10 cells induced by Licochalcone A was deter-mined by SRB method. The morphological changes were observed using Giemsa staining under the phase contrast microscope equipped with a digital camera. The melanin level was assessed by colorimetric meth-od. The apoptotic rate was determined by Annexin V-FITC/PI assay. Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry. The mRNA expression levels of B cell lymphoma/lewkmia-2 ( Bcl-2 ) , Bcl-2 associated X protein ( Bax) , the cell cycle protein CyclinE2 and cyclin-dependent kinase-2 ( CDK2 ) CDK2 were detec-ted using Q-PCR analysis. Results The proliferation of B16 F10 cells treated with Licochalcone A was effec-tively inhibited in a concentration and time-dependent manner. A clear morphological change was observed with the increasing concentration of Licochalcone A in B16F10 cells, the dendrite-like projections changed to the narrowing ball shape, which was associated with the increasing melanin level. The low concentration of Licochalcone A could induce B16F10 differentiation, and the high concentration of Licochalcone A could in-duce B16F10 apoptosis, which was accompanied with the increasing G1 phase in cell cycle. The mRNA ex-pression levels of Bcl-2 /Bax, CyclinE2 and CDK2 were markedly reduced. Conclusion Licochalcone A can effectively inhibit the proliferation of B16 F10 cells, induced cell cycle arrest at G1 phase, and fur-ther induced differentiation and apoptosis.

Aim To evaluate the mechanism of apopto-sis induced by the isoliquiritigenin in A375 human ma-lignant melanoma cells. Methods Sulforhodamine B ( SRB) method was used to determine the A375 cell viability;acridine orange/ethidium bromide ( AO/EB) and Hoechst 33258 staining were used to observe the morphological changes of apoptotic cells; flow cytome-try was used to detect A375 cell apoptotic rate;DCFH-DA was applied to determine the changes of total intra-cellular ROS in A375 cells;JC-1 method was used to measure the changes of mitochondrial membrane poten-tial;the kits methods were used to determine the con-tent of ATP, lactic acid and glucose in A375 cell which was treated with different concentrations of isoliquiritigenin. Results Isoliquiritigenin could in-hibit A375 cell proliferation in a concentration-depend-ent manner; A375 cells showed obvious apoptosis charateristics after treatment by isoliquiritigenin, and the apoptosis rate increased with increasing concentra-tion of isoliquiritigenin. The level of total intracellular ROS in A375 cells increased obviously after dealing with different concentrations of isoliquiritigenin;in ad-dition, the mitochondrial membrane potential, the lev-els of intracellular ATP,lactic acid and the level of glu-cose uptake all declined. Conclusions These find-ings demonstrate that isoliquiritigenin can induce apop-tosis of A375 cells. The mechanism may be related to elevation of ROS level and reduction of aerobic glycoly-sis level.

Objective To discuss the effect of hemodilution on brain tissue oxygen pressure and prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma. Methods A total of 42 cases of severe craniocerebral trauma were randomized divided into two groups, ie, control group and treatment group, to observe the changes of brain tissue oxygen pressure ( PbtO2 ) , hematocrit (HCT) and 6-month Glasgow outcome scale (COS) after injury. Then, PbtO2, HCT and GOS were compared between two groups. Restilts ( 1 ) There was a positive correlation between PbtO2 and HCT when HCT was lower than 0.25( r =0. 732 ,P <0. 001 ) in the treatment group; while a negative correlation was found between PbtO2 and HCT when HCT was higher than 0.25(r = - 0. 698 ,P<0. 001 ). (2) Compared with control group, the index of brain tissue oxygen in treatment group was obviously higher ( t = 2.27, P = 0. 029 ) , with better prognosis (X2= 5.09, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Hemodilution can significantly increase brain tissue oxygen supply and improve the prognosis of cases of severe craniocerebral trauma.

Objective:To establish a mouse model of gastric cancer by inoculating MKN45 cells into mice with normal immune function utilizing microcarrier technology. Methods:A total of 60 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups, namely, 2D, con-trol, and 3D groups, according to the coculture system of MKN45 and microcarrier. The mouse models of gastric carcinoma were estab-lished by hypodermic injection. The time of tumorigenesis, rate of tumor formation, and pathological features were observed in each group. Results:In the 3D group, the time of tumor formation was short, whereas the rate of tumor formation was high (80%). No de-tectable tumor formations were observed in the 2D and control groups. HE and immunohistochemical staining of the transplantation tumor model showed evident characteristics of human gastric cancer. Conclusion:A human gastric cancer model in normal immune mice was successfully established. The onset and development mechanism of gastric cancer could be more effectively investigated in mice with normal immune function through this model. Moreover, a more valuable and new animal model for the research and devel-opment of anticancer drug was established.

Objective To explore the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer(LAPC)by Nanoknife,and the demonstrations on contrast enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS)after the procedures. Methods Four patients were enrolled.Each of them was percutaneously inserted 3-5 Nanoknife electrodes to ablate the lesions with 2-3 sessions under the guidance of ultrasound.After the procedures,CEUS, contrast enhanced CT,contrast enhanced MRI or computed tomography angiography (CTA) were performed to assess the efficacy.Results All patients uneventfully were able to tolerate the high-voltage Nanoknife procedures.However,the endurable pain or discomfort in abdomen was complained.For one patient with obstructive jaundice and mild liver dysfunction,pancreatic amylase in serum increased slightly at the first day after treatment.Furthermore,C response protein in serum elevated,and biliary tract infection happened at the third day.Moreover,thromboses in portal and splenic vein were found at the seventh day.The survival time for all cases were 3-8 months.According to the findings of CEUS,a well-defined no contrast enhancement was detected at ablative zone for all the patients within one week.Yet, contrast enhancement was sporadically detected at the periphery in 3 patients 1-2 months late.Meanwhile, on contrast enhanced CT or MRI,an area of absent enhancement was also depicted at the ablation zone with heterogeneously decreased enhancement at periphery of the lesion.Base on CTA findings,local stenosis of splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein with varices of collateral vascularity were found in one patient at the fiftieth day,and superior mesenteric vein obstruction accompanied by varices of collateral vascularity was also found in another patient at the seventieth day.Conclusions For patients with LAPC,Nanoknife treatment is a safe and convenient procedure that can be percutaneously completed under the guidance of ultrasound.Along with enhanced CT,MRI or CTA,CEUS is a promising way to evaluate the efficacy of this procedure.

Objective:To investigate the ultrasonographic features and evolution of thyroid shrinking nodules in order to improve the differential diagnosis and management strategy and avoid unnecessary biopsy.Methods:A total of 245 patients with old bleeding of benign thyroid nodules diagnosed via fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from May 2015 to July 2020 in the southern part of the Shanghai General Hospital Affiliated to the Medical College of Shanghai Jiaotong University, including 263 nodules. The sonographic parameters such as size, shape, aspect ratio, echo, edge, boundary, periphery, halo, calcification, posterior echo enhancement and posterior acoustic attenuation of nodules were analyzed retrospectively, and the ultrasonic appearances of nodules were classified; 41 nodules from 40 patients, who did ultrasound examinations more than twice and had both complete ultrasonographic data, were compared and then classified in order to explore the evolution rules of the nodules.Results:Two hundred and sixty-three thyroid shrinking nodules in 245 cases were classified into 4 types: "cystic wall shrinkage sign" type(71.48%, 188/263), "carcinoma-like" type (22.05%, 58/263), "inflammation-like" type(3.04%, 8/263) and "undefined atypical solid nodules" type(3.42%, 9/263). Of the 41 consecutive follow-up nodules, 37 cases showed obvious cystic wall shrinkage sign, and 7 of them developed into "carcinoma-like" type and 6 cases into "inflammation-like" type.Conclusions:The ultrasonographic appearance of thyroid shrinking nodules is a dynamic process, which can be divided into 4 types: "cystic wall shrinkage sign" , "carcinoma-like" , "inflammation-like" and "undefined atypical solid nodules" types. The "cystic wall shrinkage sign" type is typical and common. The "cystic wall shrinkage sign" type can develope into the "carcinoma-like" type or the "inflammation-like" type.
