Objective To study the protein expressions of Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) and caspase-8 in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage ,and the effects of erythropoietin tp reveal the mechanism of neu-m-protection by EPO. Methods 126 male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: Sham-operated group, intracerebral hemorrhage group, and EPO group. Each group was divided into seven subgroups according to the differ-ent time points (3,6,12,24,48,72 h and 7 d). The model of intracerebral hemorrage was established in rats by in-tracerebral injection of autogenous blood. The protein expressions of FADD and caspas-8 in rats tissue around the hemorrhagic and the normal brain tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The protein expressions of FADD and caspase-8 were increased [(4.66±0.46 ) and ( 15.89±1.81)] at 3 h after intracerebral hemorrhage, and peaked at 48 h [ (35.88±4.24 ) and (45.04±3.99)], the expressions of FADD and caspas-8 in the region around hematoma in EPO group significantly decreased compared with model group[ (3.92±0.64) and (28.24±1.90), (13.32±2.01 ) and (35.08±2.82)] at 3 h and 48 h. Conclusion The protein expressions of FADD and easpase-8 are markedly increased after intracerebral hemorrhage. EPO can protect the neurons by signifi-cantly reducing the expressions of FADD and caspase-8.

Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of vitamin B12 as the non-invasive biomarker to predict long-term rebleeding rate in cirrhotic patients with esophagogastric varices.Methods:From Dec 1, 2016 to Dec 31, 2017, cirrhotic patients with esophagogastric varices who had been admitted to Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University were enrolled. All these patients received endoscopic treatment to prevent variceal rebleeding. The serum vitamin B12 and folic acid levels were measured in all of them. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, Kaplan-Meier analysis, univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis were conducted to explore the value of vitamin B12 in predicting 3-year variceal rebleeding in cirrhotic patients with esophagogastric varices after endoscopic treatment.Results:115 patients were included. The ROC curve analysis indicated that the optimal cutoff value of vitamin B12 for 3-year variceal rebleeding was 567.25 pg/ml. According to the cut-off value, the patients were divided into high-level vitamin B12 group ( n=49) and low-level vitamin B12 group ( n=66). Compared with the low vitamin B12 group, the high vitamin B12 group had lower albumin level, less male (63.3% vs 80.3%), and higher 3-year rebleeding rate ( P<0.05). Cox analysis showed that vitamin B12 and platelet were independent prognostic factors for 3-year rebleeding in patients with variceal bleeding. Conclusions:Elevated peripheral blood vitamin B12 predicts a higher risk of long-term rebleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis and esophagogastric varices.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of GABA transporter (GAT-1) on the analgesic action of oxysophoridine (OSR) in the central nervous system of mice.

METHODHot plate test was used to observe and analyze the effect of gamma aminobutyric acid and the inhibitor of GAT-1 (NO-711) on the analgesic action of oxysophoridine. Real time RT-PCR was used to investigate the influence of OSR on the expression of GAT-1 mRNA induced by formalin in spinal cord and brain of mice.

RESULTBoth GABA (2.0 mg x kg(-1), icv) and NO-711(0.125 mg x kg(-1), icv) enhanced the analgesic action of OSR (32.0 mg x kg(-1), iv) in the hot plate test, and the latencies was markedly increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). OSR (500.0 mg x kg(-1), iv) significantly inhibited the expression of GAT-1 mRNA induced by formalin (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONGAT-1 was involved in the analgesia effect of OSR and the down-regulation of GAT-1 mRNA enhanced the analgesic effect.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics , differential diagnosis and biological behavior of extracardiac rhabdomyoma.Methods Nine cases of extracardiac rhabdomyoma diagnosed between January of 1997 and July of 2014 were reviewed.The clinical , pathologic and immunohistochemical profiles were evaluated.Results There were 5 males and 4 females at diagnosis with age ranging from 2 years and three months to 59 years (mean, 37.6 years).Sites included the head and neck region (7 cases), chest (1 case ) and vagina wall (1 case).Clinically, most cases manifested as a subcutaneous nodule or as a submucosal polypoid lesion with a mean diameter of 3.2 cm.Histologically , 4 were adult-type rhabdomyoma characterized by tightly packed large round or polygonal rhabdomyoblasts with abundant eosinophilic to clear cytoplasm; 3 were myxoid variant of fetal rhabdomyoma composed of immature myofibrils, spindled and primitive mesenchymal cells embedded in a myxoid background , 1 was an intermediate form of fetal rhabdomyoma consisting of densely arranged differentiated myoblasts with little myxoid stroma;1 was a genital rhabdomyoma composed of elongated or strap-like myoblasts scattered in loose fibrous connective tissue.By immunohistochemistry , they showed diffuse and strong positivity for desmin , MSA and myoglobin with variable expression of myogenin.A case of intermediate type also stained forα-smooth muscle actin.Follow up data ( 2 months ~17 years ) showed local recurrence in one patient 6 months after surgery.Conclusions Rhabdomyoma is a distinctively rare benign mesenchymal tumor showing skeletal muscle differentiation , which may occassionally recur if incompletely excised.Familiarity with its clinical and morphological variants is essential to avoid misdiagnosing this benign lesion as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

Objective:To investigate the application value of new urinary biomarkers insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and tissue matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor-2 (TIMP-2) in acute kidney injury with decompensated hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis.Methods:45 newly hospitalized cases with decompensated hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis were selected. Among them, 19 cases were combined with AKI on admission (cirrhosis-AKI group), 26 cases without AKI (cirrhosis-non-AKI group), and 12 healthy cases (normal control group). First-morning urine samples were collected and IGFBP7 and TIMP-2 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Urinary IGFBP7 and serum creatinine (SCr) were dynamically monitored after hospitalization in cirrhosis-non-AKI group. Normally distributed measurement data were compared by t-test, and non-normally distributed measurement data were compared by rank sum test. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the indicators.Results:Urinary IGFBP7, IGFBP7 with TIMP-2 (IGFBP7×TIMP-2) in cirrhosis-AKI group ( n = 19) were equally higher than that of the cirrhosis-non-AKI group ( P < 0.05). Urinary IGFBP7, TIMP-2 and IGFBP7×TIMP-2 in cirrhosis-AKI group or cirrhosis-non-AKI group were significantly higher than those of the normal control group ( P < 0.01). The AUC of urinary IGFBP7 and urinary IGFBP7×TIMP-2 for diagnosis of AKI were 0.703 (95% CI 0.547-0.860) and 0.700 (95% CI 0.541-0.859), respectively. In the liver cirrhosis-non-AKI group ( n = 26), 5 cases of AKI were newly diagnosed according to the changes in SCr during hospitalization (progressive group). Urinary IGFBP7 was significantly increased 2 days before the diagnosis of AKI. The concentration of urinary IGFBP7 at admission in the progressive group ( n = 5) was higher than that of the non-progressive group ( n = 21) ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:Urinary IGFBP7 and TIMP-2 concentrations were significantly increased in patients with decompensated hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis. When AKI occurred, urinary IGFBP7 and IGFBP7×TIMP-2 was further increased. Urinary IGFBP7 is valuable for early AKI diagnosis, and may play a role in predicting AKI occurrence.
