Aim To evaluate the effects of aspirin on the expression of inflammatory proteins induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) in human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods HUVECs were stimulated with different concentrations of ox-LDL. The expression of inflammatory proteins was detected by Western blot.Intracellular ROS generation was measured by flow cytometry using perexide-sensitive flurscent probe 2′, 7′-dichrofluorescein diacetate(DCFH-DA).Results ① Aspirin inhibited COX-2 expression induced by ox-LDL. Cells were preincubated with 2.5 mmol?L-1, 5 mmol?L-1 of aspirin or without any treatment for 30 min and then stimulated by 0.3 g?L-1 ox-LDL for 16 h, COX-2 expression was reduced by treating of aspirin.COX-2 expression was enhanced after the stimulation with ox-LDL, and aspirin inhibited the increasing.② Aspirin suppressed ICAM-1 expression induced by ox-LDL in HUVECs. ICAM-1 expression was increased by ox-LDL stimulation for 16 h, and aspirin significantly down-regulated the expression. Similar results were obtained by immunofluorescence.③ Aspirin partially reduced ROS production induced by ox-LDL in HUVECs. After stimulation with 0.3 g?L-1 ox-LDL for 16 h, the intracellular level of ROS was increased, however, aspirin failed to fully inhibit the phenomenon.Conclusion Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) aspirin significantly down-regulated the expression of COX-2 and ICAM-1 induced by ox-LDL.The results suggested that aspirin could reduce the inflammation responses mediated by ox-LDL on HUVECs in atherosclerosis.

?AIM: To investigate the changes of nearwork induced transient myopia ( NITM ) in different refractive status after continuous near tasking.?METHODS:Prospective study. Thirty subjects ( aged 18-24, average 20. 9 ± 2. 1, 12 males and 18 females) were recruited in this study. They were divided into 3 groups according to the subjective refraction: 10 with hyperopia (H), 10 with emmetrope (E) and 10 with myopia (M). All the subjects with soft contact lens watched videos on a panel computer at near distance (33cm ~ 40cm). Five measurements of distance refraction in the right eye were performed by using an infrared optometer before, after 30min and 60min sustained viewing task, and the mean of 5 refractive values was recorded as spherical equivalent. Then distance refraction of right eyes was done every 5s followed by stopping near tasking until NITM was disappeared completely and the decay time of NITM was recorded for each subject. The value of NITM was the difference of refractive values between before and after near tasking. Paired-t test was used to compare the changes of refractive values in the same group. ANOVA was used to determine the differences of NITM and its decaying time among three groups.?RESULTS: Compared with pre - task, no significant refractive changes were found in hyperopic group ( t =1. 627,P= 0. 138 ); While subjects with emmetropia and myopia showed more myopic shifts at the two time points (tE = 2. 699, PE = 0. 024;tM = 4. 930, PM = 0. 001 ). With continuous viewing until the 30th min and 60th min, significant differences of averaged NITM were found between myopic group and other 2 groups (P<0. 05), but no difference was found between hyperopic group and emmetropic group (P>0. 05). Significant differences of the decay time of NITM can be seen among the three groups after near tasking (F=787. 983,P<0. 001).? CONCLUSION: Subjects with myopia are more susceptible to produce NITM than other 2 groups during sustained nearwork for the same time and the decaying time of NITM is longer in myopia group after near tasking, thus it is suggesting that NITM might be attributed to the development and progression of myopia.

Objective To study the value of flow cytometry in identifying metastatic CK positive and negative nonhematopoietic neoplasms in bone marrow. Methods Twenty-six cell lines representing ten epithelial neoplasms, one lymphoma cell line and one human T cell lymphoblast-like cell line were purchased from American Tissue Culture Collection. From July 2009 to June 2010, five nonhematopoietic neoplasms,fifteen hematopoietic neoplasms and fifteen control patients with complete remession after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were collected in Beijing Daopei Hospital. Cryopreserved cell lines were thawed and cultured until they entered log phase. After permeabilization, cell lines were analyzed by staining with cytoplasmic CK-FITC antibody using four-color flow cytometer. The percent CK positivity was measured by comparing with negative control. Bone marrow samples were stained with membrane and cytoplasmic antibodies according to our routine methods. Based on lineage markers and blast markers as well as CK expression, the relevant hematopoietic diseases were diagnosed or excluded according to 2008 World Health Organization diagnosis standards. Results All epithelial neoplasm cell lines expressed CK, with average positive percentage 81.1%. All the lymphoid tumor cell lines didn't express CK. Two epithelial neoplasms were CK positive, 100. 0% in thyroid carcinoma and 98. 2% in lung carcinoma, respectively. Hematopoietic tumor and control samples didn't express CK. They expressed relevant hematopoietic markers, such as CD45 as well as lineage markers, or CD138 and cytoplasmic immunoglobulin light chain. Three nonepithelial nonhematopoietic neoplasms didn't express CK. CK positive or negative nonhematopoietic neoplasms didn't express hematopoietic markers such as CD45, HLA-ABC and HLA-DR DP DQ, as well as lineage specific markers. Besides, CK positive might be helpful to suggest epithelial origin. Conclusion Flow cytometry with hematopoietic markers and CK can effectively exclude hematopoietic tumor and identify metastatic CK positive and negative nonhematopoietic neoplasms in bone marrow.

Objective To explore the most accurate T staging and optimal surgical method of lung adenocarcinoma of trans-lobe type, and to provide supportive diagnosis as well as therapeutic evidences for this disease. Methods A total of 192 postoperative patients, hospitalized in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2008 to June 2013, who were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma were recruited. Patients were divided into three groups according to the 7th edition of TNM staging criteria issued by the IASLC in 2009. A total of 163 patients with T2 stage were selected as Group T2, and 12 patients with T3 stage were selected as Group T3, both of which were considered as control groups. Other 17 pa?tients who were diagnosed as trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma, were Group trans-lobe. The clinical data and progno?sis were compared between three groups. The trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma was diagnosed based on imaging and pathological examination. Subtypes of trans-lobe lung adenocarcinoma were identified by referring to 2011 international mul?tidisciplinary classification standard of lung adenocarcinoma. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the prognosis of dif?ferent subtypes and surgical modus in patients with lung adenocarcinoma of trans-lobe type. Results By comparison, the postoperative survival rate was significantly lower in patients diagnosed with trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma than that of Group T2 (P<0.05), and no significant difference in survival rate compared with Group T3 (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in survival rates between different surgical modus (P<0.05). Seventeen patients with trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma consisted of four subtypes, including 8 solid predominant, 5 acinar predominant, 3 papillary predomi?nant and 1 invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. There were no statistical significances in postoperative survival time and sur?vival rates between four subtypes. Conclusion The clinical stage of trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma should be clas?sified as stage T3. Both pulmonary bilobectomy and lobectomy combined with resection of proximal invaded lobe can be used as effective surgical therapies for trans-lobe type of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the hemodynamic characteristics of time intensity curve(TIC) by contrast enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) and the expression of antigen Ki-67 of the 4 different clinic stages (T0 andTis,T1 ,T2,T3) in ductal carcinoma in order to predict the grade of the expression of antigen Ki-67 and clinic stages.Methods Masses founded in 80 cases proved by pathological test after resection or needle biopsy were divided into 4 groups base on clinic stages:group 1(T0 andTis) , group 2(T1),group 3(T2),and group 4(T3).Some parameters gained after analyzing TIC of CEUS would be used to make a rank correlation analysis with the expression grade of antigen Ki-67 through immunohistochemical diagnosis.A regression equation would be gained from those parameters which had a correlation with the expression grade of antigen Ki-67 (P < 0.05). Results Most TIC of ductal carcinomas were possessed of the characteristics of fast in and slow-out.Compared to the other three groups,group 4(T3) had significant differences in arrive time,time to peak,arrive intensity,peak intensity and area under curve.Compared to group 1(T0 andTis),group 4(T3) had significant differences in continuous time and rising curve's slope and group 3(T2) has significant differences in arrive intensity and area under curve. Parameters entered the regression equation through mult-variable linear regression analysis were arrive time,continuous time,peak intensity and rising curve's slope.R square was 0.83 1 and adjust R square was 0.822.Through the regression equation verification,5 cases accorded with the clinic stages standard of ductal carcinoma.Conclusions The hemodynamic characteristics of time intensity curve (TIC) by contrast enhanced ultrasound had a good correlation with the expression grade of antigen Ki-67 of the 4 different clinic stages in ductal carcinoma.The regression equation had a good explanatory and degree of fitting,it can be used to predict the expression grade of antigen Ki-67 and indirectly forecasts clinic stages of ductal carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the correlations between CT features and histopathologic subtypes of lung adenocarcinomas presenting as pure ground-glass nodules (pGGN) of 1 cm or less in maximal diameter. Methods CT appearances, pathology and clinical data of 95 patients (97 lesions) who underwent curative resection of lung adenocarcinomas presenting as pGGN≤1 cm in diameter from March 2011 to February 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 97 lung adenocarcinomas, there were 19 atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) (19.6%), 31 adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) (31.9%), 19 minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) (19.6%) and 28 invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma (IPA) (28.9%). Fifty (51.5%) were preinvasive (AAH+AIS) and 47 (48.5%) were invasive (MIA+IPA). Lesion size and density were compared among pathologic subtypes using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Lesion size were compared between preinvasive and invasive lesions using 2?independent samples t?test. Lesion location, presence of bubble?like sign, air bronchogram, vessel changes, margin, and tumor?lung interface were compared among histopathologic subtypes using chi?square test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the cut-off point of size in discriminating preinvasive lesions from invasive lesions. Results Of the 97 lesions, there were no statistically significant differences among histopathologic subtypes in terms of lesion density, presence of bubble?like sign, air?bronchogram, and margin (P>0.05). Mean size of AAH, AIS, MIA and IPA was (0.72 ± 0.19), (0.82 ± 0.14), (0.84 ± 0.11) and (0.85 ± 0.16) cm respectively. There were statistically significant differences among histopathologic subtypes in terms of lesion size (F=3.16, P=0.028). The vessel changes occurred in 2 of AAH, 11 of AIS, 10 of MIA and 17 of IPA. There were statistically significant differences among histopathologic subtypes in terms of vessel changes (χ2=13.22, P=0.004). Lesions with clear tumor?lung interface were in 10 of AAH, 24 of AIS, 17 of MIA, and 26 of IPA. There were statistically significant differences among histopathologic subtypes in terms of tumor?lung interface (χ2=12.67, P=0.005). The optimal cutoff value of lesion size for differentiating preinvasive lesions from invasive lesions was 0.82 cm (sensitivity, 61.7%;specificity, 62.0%). Conclusion Lesion size, vessel changes, and lung?tumor interface may indicate the invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma presenting as pGGNs of≤1 cm in diameter.
