Objective To compare pituitrin resuscitation,hypertonic saline resuscitation versus hydroxyethyl starch (HES) resuscitation during the early stage in a dog model of severe uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS).Methods Adult Chinese rural dogs of both sexes,weighing 10-12 kg,underwent sever UHS by transecting one branch of mesenteric arteries,followed by blood withdrawal via the femoral artery to target mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 50 mm Hg.Twenty-four dogs with severe UHS were randomized into 3 groups according to resuscitation strategies (n =8 each):pituitrin resuscitation group (group P),hypertonic saline resuscitation group (group SA),and resuscitation with HES (group HES).In group P,pituitrin was infused at a rate of 0.04U· kg-1 · min-1 after a loading dose of 0.1 U was given intermittently.A single bolus of 7.5 ％ hypertonic saline 6 ml/kg was injected in group SA.HES 200/0.5 was infused at a rate of 18-38 ml· kg-1· h-1 in group HES.MAP was maintained no lower than 50 mm Hg in each group.The branch of mesenteric arteries was ligated 1 h after resuscitation and all the blood initially shed was returned in each group.The parameters of hemodynamics were recorded before UHS (T0),after successful UHS (T1),at 15,30,45 and 60 min of resuscitation (T2-5),and at 2 h after hemostasis and return of shed blood (T6).Arterial blood samples were taken at T0,T1,T5 and T6 for blood gas analysis.Venous blood samples were collected at T0,T5,T6 and 3 days after extubation for determination of serum TNF-α,IL-10 and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) concentrations.TNF-α/IL-10 ratio was calculated.The survival rate was measured within 72 h after hemostasis and return of shed blood.The volume of blood loss was recorded during UHS phase and uncontrolled bleeding resuscitation phase.Results Compared with group P,SBP,DBP,CVP,HR,serum TNF-α concentration and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio were significantly increased,and Hct and serum IL-10 concentration were decreased in group SA,and SBP,HR,Lac,TNF-α and ACTH concentrations,and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio were significantly increased,and serum IL-10 concentration was decreased in group HES (P ＜ 0.05).SBP,DBP,CVP,HR and serum IL-10 concentration were significantly lower,and Lac,TNF-α and ACTH concentrations,and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio were higher in group HES than in group SA (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).The volume of blood loss recorded during uncontrolled bleeding resuscitation phase was significantly larger in group SA than in P and HES groups (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference between P and HES groups in the volume of blood loss recorded during uncontrolled bleeding resuscitation phase (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the survival rate between the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Resuscitation with continuous infusion of a small dose of pituitrin can maintain the blood pressure stable with less blood loss and inhibit stress responses and inflammatory responses,and the efficacy is superior to that of resuscitation with a small dose of hypertonic saline or HES resuscitation.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the whole-cell sodium currents in rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons in order to determine whether brain sodium channels are involved in the molecular mechanism of action of propofol. Methods The pyramidal neurons were enzymatically isolated from rat hippocampus. The experiment was divided into seven groups: in group 1-4 (propofol groups) different amount of propofol (dissolved in intralipid) was added to bath solution and four solutions of different propofol concentration-10, 30, 50 and 100 ?mol?L-1 were prepared (Pro10 , Pro30 , Pro50 and Pro100 ); in group 5-6 intralipid alone (without propofol) was added to bath solution and two solutions of intralipid concentration equal to that of Pro50 and Pro100 were prepared; in group 7 neither propofol nor intralipid was added to the bath solution. The effect of propofol and intralipid on the whole-cell sodium channel currents were assessed using patch-clamp technique.Results When the holding potential was - 100 mV, the four concentrations of propofol (10, 30, 50 and 100 ?mol?L-1) reduced peak sodium currents by 14.4%?8.7% , 42.9%?8.8% , 67.2?18.1% and 85.1%?14.9% respectively, with a mean LC50 of 32.5 ?mol?L-1.The two concentrations of intralipid did not significantly affect the peak sodium currents. Conclusion Propofol significantly inhibits the brain sodium channel currents in a dose-dependent manner, indicating a possible role of brain sodium channel suppression in propofol anesthesia.

Objective:To investigate the long-term risk of esophageal cancer from fresh fruit consumption. Methods:In 1985, a total of 29,479 participants aged between 40 and 69 years old were recruited for this study. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle, history of diseases, and food intake frequency were surveyed at the baseline and were then followed up. Through December 31, 2015, a median of 31.79 years of observation was obtained. The primary endpoint was death from esophageal cancer. The hazard ratio and 95%confi-dence intervals for fresh fruit consumption were calculated using a Cox proportional hazard model. Results:Overall, 31.09%of partici-pants reported consuming fresh fruit more than once every week. Compared with participants who never or rarely consumed fresh fruit, those who consumed fresh fruit more than once a week had a lower long-term risk of esophageal cancer. Death rate decreased to 7%among those who ate fresh fruit more than once a week, especially among males (11%) and those with positive smoking history (13%). Conclusion:Fresh fruit consumption is associated with a lower risk of death from esophageal cancer, but the etiological mecha-nism needs to be investigated further.

Objective To study the mutation characteristics in phenylalanine hydroxylase gene of Xinjiang minority nationality phenylketonuria (PKU) patients and provide a scientific basis for PKU prevention and cure strategy.Methods Mutations in phenylalanine hydroxylase gene were detected by Dolymerase chain reaction-single strand comformation polymorphism (PCR/SSCP) and gene sequencing in 12 minoritv nationality patients.Results Thirteen different mutations,including 8 missense mutations,1 nonsense mutation and 3 splice mutations were found in 24 alleles.The moat common mutations were EX696A＞G and P281 L.which were respectively prevalent in Asia and Europe populations.The common mutations were R243Q,R111X,R176X and F161S.The mutation frequency of R243Q was the highest and R111X was the third highest in Northern China.R176X and F161S were two rare mutations world wide.Especially.F161S was a Chinese-specific mutation because it was for the second time that it was found in China.The mutations detected in this study were first reported in these 3 minority nationality populations,which showed a distinct ethical characteristic.Condusions There is not only a consanguineous relation but also a distinct difference in PAH gene distribution between Xinjiang minority nationality population and yellow race and Latin-American.The results suggest that Xinjiang could probably be a special PAH gene distribution region.

Objective·To investigate the biological roles and associated mechanisms of the hypoxia-induced long non-coding RNA 68(HILRNA68)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cell lines.Methods·Long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)microarray analysis was conducted to study the differential expression of lncRNAs in the HCC cell lines cultured under hypoxia treatment and normoxia treatment separately for 12 h,and DEseq2 R package was used for the analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to determine the differential lncRNAs.Short hairpin RNAs(shRNAs)were used to knock down hypoxia-inducible factors(HIFs)to investigate whether HILRNA68 transcription was regulated by HIFs under hypoxia.Nucleus-cytoplasmic isolation combined with qRT-PCR and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization(RNA-FISH)experiments were used to investigate the subcellular localization of HILRNA68.HILRNA68 was knocked down in SMMC-7721 and MHCC-97H cells by small interfering RNA(siRNA)to investigate its cellular function under hypoxia.The impact of HILRNA68 on the cell proliferation and invasion capabilities of HCC cells under hypoxia was examined by cell counting and Transwell assays.Dual-luciferase reporter assay was employed to identify how HILRNA68 regulated the transcriptional activity of HIFs under hypoxia.Results·By differential expression analysis of lncRNAs,a total of 247 and 17 significantly(defined as fold change≥4,FDR≤0.05)up-and down-regulated IncRNAs,respectively,were identified.Among these differentially expressed genes,IncRNA HILRNA68 was up-regulated about 10-fold in multiple HCC cell lines when cultured under hypoxia for 12 h.Knockdown of HIF1α,HIF2α,and HIF1β significantly suppressed(all P＜0.05)the upregulation of HILRNA68 under hypoxia.Luciferase reporter assay suggested that the transcription of HILRNA68 was regulated by HIFs.Subcellular localization studies revealed that HILRNA68 was mainly localized in the nucleus.Biological function experiments showed that silencing of HILRNA68 significantly inhibited the proliferation and invasion of HCC cells under hypoxia(all P＜0.05).Mechanistic studies demonstrated that knock-down of HILRNA68 significantly suppressed the transcriptional activity of HIF1α under hypoxia(P＜0.05)and the up-regulation of these canonical HIFs targets under hypoxia was also significantly inhibited after HILRNA68 knockdown(P＜0.05).Conclusion·The current study identifies a series of differential hypoxia-regulated lncRNAs and functionally annotates the upregulated HILRNA68.HILRNA68 is directly up-regulated by HIFs which promotes cell proliferation and invasion under hypoxia.Mechanistically,the upregulation of HILRNA68 under hypoxia enhances the transcriptional activity of HIF1α.

Background::Breast cancer is ranked among the most prevalent malignancies in the Chinese female population. However, comprehensive reports detailing the latest epidemiological data and attributable disease burden have not been extensively documented.Methods::In 2018, high-quality cancer surveillance data were recorded in 700 population-based cancer registries in China. We extracted data on female breast cancers (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision [ICD-10]: C50) and estimated the incidence and mortality in 2022 according to the baseline data and corresponding trends from 2010 to 2018. Pathological types were classified according to the ICD for Oncology, 3rd Edition codes. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were calculated as the sum of the years of life lost (YLLs) and years lived with disability (YLDs).Results::In 2022, approximately 357,200 new female breast cancer cases and 75,000 deaths occurred in China, accounting for 15.59% and 7.94% of total new cancer cases and deaths, respectively. The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) was 33.04 per 100,000. When analyzed by pathological type, the ASIRs for papillary neoplasms, invasive breast carcinoma, rare and salivary gland-type tumors, and other types were 1.13, 29.79, 0.24, and 1.88 per 100,000, respectively. The age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) was 6.10 per 100,000. A total of 2,628,000 DALYs were found to be attributable to female breast cancer in China, comprising 2,278,300 YLLs and 349,700 YLDs. The ASIR, ASMR, and age-standardized rate (ASR) for DALYs in urban areas were consistently higher than those in rural areas. We observed a four-fold increase in the ASIR and ASR for DALYs and an eight-fold increase in the ASMR among females over 55 years compared with those aged under 55 years.Conclusion::These data provide invaluable insights into the latest epidemiology of female breast cancer in China and highlight the urgency for disease prevention and control strategy formulation.

Objective To estimate the incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer in China in 2015. Methods Based on the data quality review and assessment, the esophageal cancer data from 368 cancer registries in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China were included in this study. According to the national population data in 2015, the nationwide incidence and mortality of the esophageal cancer were estimated. Chinese standard population in 2000 and world Segi's population were used to calculate the age?standardized (ASR) incidence and mortality rates (ASR China and world, respectively). Results The 368 cancer registries covered a total of 309 553 499 populations in China, accounting for 22.52% of the national population. There were 245 651 new esophageal cancer cases estimated in China in 2015, with a crude incidence rate of 17.87/100 000. The ASR China and ASR world were 11.14/100 000 and 11.28/100 000, respectively. The estimated number of esophageal cancer death was 188 044 in China in 2015, with a crude mortality rate of 13.68/100 000; The ASR China and ASR world mortality rates were 8.33/100 000 and 8.36/100 000, respectively. The ASR China incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer in males were higher in males (16.50/100 000 and 12.66/100 000) than those in females (5.92/100 000 and 4.17/100 000), and they were higher in rural areas (15.95/1100 000 and 11.67/100 000) than those in urban areas (7.59/100 000 and 5.87/100 000). Conclusion The incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer in China are higher than the global average. The disparity of the incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer significantly differed in genders and areas.

Objective:To estimate the incidence and mortality of corpus uteri cancer in China, 2015.Methods:Quality audit and evaluation of the data from 2015 cancer registration reported by 501 cancer registries were conducted, and 368 cancer registries were included in the analysis. The incidence rate and mortality rate of corpus uteri cancer were calculated according to the factors of the region (urban, rural, east, central, western), sex and age groups. The incidence and mortality of corpus uteri cancer with the 2015 population were estimated. Chinese standard population in 2000 and world Segi′s population were used for the calculation of age-standardized rates (ASR) of incidence and mortality.Results:In 2015, 368 cancer registries included in the analysis covered a total of 309 553 499 populations in China, accounting for 22.52% of the national population. It is estimated that there were about 68 900 new cases of corpus uteri cancer in 2015, the incidence rate was 10.28/10 5, age-standardized incidence rates by Chinese standard population (ASR China) and world standard population (ASR world) were 6.86/10 5 and 6.66/10 5, respectively. The incidence rate of urban area (11.35/10 5) was higher than that of rural area (8.90/10 5), and the incidence of eastern region (12.12/10 5) was higher than the central region (9.94/10 5) and the western region (8.25/10 5). It is estimated that in 2015, there were about 16 000 deaths of corpus uteri cancer, the mortality rate was 2.39/10 5, ASR China was 1.49/10 5, ASR world was 1.47/10 5. The mortality in urban areas (2.40/10 5) is close to rural areas (2.39/10 5); the mortality in central areas (2.55/10 5) was higher than the eastern areas (2.32/10 5) and the western areas (2.31/10 5). Conclusions:In China, the incidence of corpus uteri cancer is on the rise and has a trend of youth, the burden of disease is gradually increasing, which threatens the health of women. Targeted prevention and control measures should be carried out in the different regions.
