Objective To study the expression and significance of miR-26a in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The expression of miR-26a in 46 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC) tissues and peritumoral tissues was detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT PCR).The intrahepatic eholangiocarcinoma cell line HCCC-9810 and RBE were transfected with miR 26a mimics and miR 26a inhibitors,respectively,by lipofectamine 2000.The growth curves were constructed by the CCK 8 method.The migration and invasion ability was demonstrated by wound healing and transwell assay.The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry.The potential mechanism was illustrated by Western blotting.Results For the 46 ICC tissues and peritumoral tissues,miR 26a levels were significantly higher in the tumor tissues than in the peritumoral tissues (P＜0.05).Vascular invasion,TNM Ⅲ～Ⅳ stage and lymph node metastasis were significantly associated with high miR 26a expression levels (P＜0.05),but gender,age,tumor amounts,tumor encapsulation,tumor diameter and tumor differentiation showed no significant association (P＞0.05).Enhanced cell proliferation,migration and invasion ability,accelerated G0/G1 phase to S phase transition,activated AKT by PTEN suppression were observed in HCCC-9810 cells with up regulation of miR-26a.Conversely,cell proliferation,migration and invasion ability was inhibited,G0/G1 phase was blocked and AKT was restrained by PTEN increase wkh down regulation of miR-26a in RBE cells.PTEN mRNA in versely correlated with the miR-26a level (r=-0.8272,P＜0.01).Patients with a high miR-26a expression had significantly poorer overall survival (P＜0.05).A high miR 26a exprcssion,multiple tumors and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors of overall survival (P＜0.01).Conclusion Overexpression of miR-26a in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma correlated with clinicopath ological features and overall survival,and it potentially promoted tumor proliferation and metastasis through the PTEN/AKT pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of oral fluid resuscitation on circulatory oxygen dynamic parameters in dogs with burn shock.Method Eighteen male Beagle dogs were surgically prepared for the cannulation of carotid cartery and jugular vein,subjected to flame injury 50%total body surface area(TBSA)with fullthick ness 24 hours later,and they then randomly divided into 3 equal groups.The oral fluid resuscitation group (OR group)was intragastrieally injected with infusion of glucose-electrolyte solution(GES)according to parkland formula 0.5h after burn with a dose of 4mL·kg-1·% TBSA-1.Intravenous (IV) GES resuscitation group (VR group)was intravenously injected with infusion of GES as the same dose as OR group,and no-fluid resuscitation (NR)group did not receive any treatment during the first 24 hotrs.In the second 24 hours,all dogs received Ⅳ fluid resuscitation.At the end of 72 hours of injury.the mortality in each group was recorded.The mean arterial arterial pressure(MAP),hematocrit(HCT)and blood lactic acid(LAC)were determined,and blood gas analysis was evaluated for oxygen delivery(DO2),oxygen consumption(VO2)and oxygen uptake(O2ext)before injury and 2,4,8,24,48 and 72 hours after injury.Results Burn injury resulted in a 77.1%decrease in MAP,and a 48.5% increase in HCT and 533.7%increase in LAC in NR group,followed by pngressively lowering of DO2,VO2 and Oext till all animals died with in 24 hours after burn.MAP and HCT levels oftwo resuscitation groups gradually returned to the pre-injury levels within 72 hours after burn,but the LAC levels sill remained significantly higher than the pte-injury levels(P＜0.01).The MAPs of OR group were higher at corresponding intervals within 24 hours post burn than those of NR group(P＜0.01),but they were lower than those of VR group(P＜0.01).The serum LAC in OR group was markedly lowered than that in NR group,but it was higher than that in VR group.Twenty-four hours after burn injury,the DO2 level in OR group showed no significant differences compared with that of the VR group,but the levels of the VO2 and Oext were still much lower than those of VR group (P＜0.01).At the end of 72 hours,3 dogs of NR group died and none of IV group died.Caadusions Oral fluid resuscitation improves oxygen dynamic,alleviates hyperlactacidemia and reduces the mortality of animals with severe burn shock.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, minimal y invasive percutaneous plate fixation has been a selectable method to repair fracture of lower limbs, especial y complex fracture of lower limbs. Its advantages are to reduce the damage to soft tissues, and do not destroy bone nutrient supply vessels. However, there is no unified criterion to select which method in the repair of distal tibial fractures. OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical effects of minimal y invasive percutaneous plate fixation versus open reduction and plate fixation in the repair of distal tibial fractures. METHODS:A total of 60 cases of distal tibial fractures treated with minimal y invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (n=35) and open reduction and plate fixation (n=25) were selected. The time of surgery was identified by evaluating soft tissue. We should pay attention to the protection of soft tissue in surgery and reasonable fixation method should be selected. After fixation, we guided patients to do active early functional exercise. They were fol owed up and regularly received X-ray reexamination. Operation time, weight loading time, healing time and functional recovery were observed and the clinical therapeutic effects of the two methods were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were fol owed-up after surgery. They were fol owed up for 3 to 15 months. No significant difference in healing time of type A fracture was detected between minimal y invasive percutaneous plate fixation and open reduction and plate fixation. The healing time of types B and C fracture was better in minimal y invasive percutaneous plate fixation group than in open reduction and plate fixation group. These results indicated that minimal y invasive percutaneous plate fixation in repair of tibial fractures, especial y distal complex tibial fractures, is an effective method. The healing rate of fracture was high, but postoperative complications were less.

Yinchenzhufu decoction (YCZFD) is a classic formula for treating Yin Huang syndrome, which can improve liver injury caused by cholestasis. However, the mechanism of action of YCZFD still remains unclear. This article used network pharmacology, molecular docking, animal experiments, and molecular biology methods to explore the mechanism of YCZFD in treating liver injury caused by cholestasis. A mouse model of acute cholestasis induced by lithocholic acid was used to investigate the effects of YCZFD on liver injury. The experimental procedures described in this paper were reviewed and approved by the Ethical Committee at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (approval NO. PZSHUTCM190823002). The results showed that YCZFD could reduce the levels of blood biochemical indicators and improve hepatocyte damage of cholestatic mice. Then, multiple databases were used to predict the corresponding targets of YCZFD active components on cholestatic liver injury. An intersection target protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks based on String database and Cytoscape software was used to demonstrate the possible core targets of YCZFD against cholestatic liver injury. The results indicated that core targets of YCZFD include tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1β, non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src, interleukin-6, etc. GO (gene ontology) and KEGG (kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes) enrichment analysis indicated that YCZFD may regulate the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway, bile secretion, and other related factors to ameliorate the cholestatic liver injury. AutoDockTools software was used to perform molecular docking verification on the core targets and components of YCZFD. To verify the results of network pharmacology, UPLC-MS/MS method was used to determine the effect of YCZFD on levels of bile acid profiles in mouse liver tissues. It was found that treatment with YCZFD significantly reduced the content of free bile acids, taurine bound bile acids, and total bile acids in the liver tissues of cholestatic mice. Then, results from real time PCR and Western blot also found that YCZFD can upregulate the expression of hepatic nuclear receptor farnesoid X receptor, metabolizing enzyme (UDP glucuronidase transferase 1a1), and efflux transporters (bile salt export pump, multidrug resistance-associated protein 2, multidrug resistance-associated protein 3, etc) in cholestasis mice, promote bile acid metabolism and excretion, and improve bile acid homeostasis. Moreover, YCZFD can also inhibit pyroptosis and inflammation by regulating NOD-like receptors 3 pathway, thereby inhibiting cholestatic liver injury.

Objective To explore the effect of ectopic overexpression of Smac/DIABLO on the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990,and the sensitization to TRAIL and Gemcitabine induced apoptosis.Methods The Smac/DIABLO gene was transfected into the pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 with the participation of Lipofectamine 2000 (SW1990/Smac).The cell line transfected with empty vector served as controls (SW1990/neo).The SW1990/neo and SW1990/Smac cells were assigned into the following treatment groups:TRAIL group,Gemcitabine group,TRAIL plus Gemcitabine group,and the control group.The SW1990 cells were treated with TRAIL and Gemcitabine in different concentrations and time.The cell growth inhibition rate (CGIR) was detected by MTT,the rate of apoptosis was measured by flow eytometry,the apoptosis morphous was observed by Heochst 33342 staining.The expressions of apoptosis-associated proteins such as Smas/DIABLO,XIAP,cytochrome C and caspase-3 were detected by Western blot.Results The cell growth of SW1990/Smac was significantly lower than growth of SW1990/ neo.The concentration of TRAIL were 200,500,1000 and 2500 ng/ml respectively.After 24 hours,the CGIR of SW1990/neo and SW1990/Smac were 11.11％,46.03％,67.08％,76.19％ and 22.11％,42.67％,56.63％,67.6％ respectively (P ＜ 0.05).The concentration of Gemcitabine were 10,20,40 and 60 μmol/L respectively.After 24 hours,the CGIR of SW1990/neo and SW1990/Smac were 15.2％,34.6％,55.16％,76.4％ and 22.65％,36.85％,55.11％,79.99％ respectively (P＜0.05).The cells of SW1990/neo and SW1990/Smac were treated by TRAIL(500 ng/ml),Gemcitabine (20 μmol/L) and combination group.The apoptosis rate were 5.64％,15.30％,27.27％ and 20.37％,23.27％,67.30％ (P ＜ 0.05) respectively.In combination group,the expressions of activators of caspase such as Smas/DIABLO,cytochrome C and caspase-3 increased significantly,while the expressions of inhibitor of apoptosis protein XIAP decreased.Conclusions Ectopic expression of Smac/DIABLO could induce the apoptosis of SW1990 cell,inhibit the cell proliferation,and enhence the sensitivity of SW1990 cell to TRAIL and Gemcitabine.The mechanism of apoptosis sensitization effect by Smac/DIABLO was associated with significant up-regulation of Smac/DIABLO,cytochrome C,down-regulation of XIAP,and the activation of caspase-3.

Previous studies showed that three methods for regulating and invigorating lung and kidney (lung invigorating and spleen strengthening, lung invigorating and kidney tonifying, and Qi supplementing and kidney nourishing) could regulate inflammatory signaling pathways of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in rats, so as to alleviate inflammation. In the present study, R-value comprehensive evaluation method was used to evaluate the comprehensive effect of three methods for regulating and invigorating lung and kidney on inflammatory signaling pathways. Rats were randomly divided into control, model, lung invigorating and spleen strengthening, lung invigorating and kidney tonifying, Qi supplementing and kidney nourishing and aminophylline groups. The COPD rat models were established by cigarette smoking combined with bacterial infection, and orally administered with drugs between the 9th and 20th week. Afterwards, efforts were made to observe the long-term effects between the drug withdrawal and the 32rd week and detect indicators in two batches in the 20th week and 32th week. Specifically, (1) Linking JAK/STAT signaling pathway: JAK2 mRNA, and protein expressions of STAT-1, STAT-3, STAT-5, JAK-2; (2) NF-kappaB signaling pathway: Smad2 mRNA and protein expressions of I-kappaB, NF-kappaB, TGF-beta1; (3) PPARgamma and antioxidant signaling pathway: SOD, PGE mRNA, PPARgamma protein. According to the results, 5 indicators in JAK/STAT pathway, 4 indicators in NF-kappaB pathway, and 3 indicators in PPARgamma pathway were significantly rectified by three methods for regulating and invigorating lung and kidney in between the 20th week and 32nd week. Between the 20th and 32nd week, the recipes for rectifying JAK/STAT pathway with intensity from high to low were recipes for lung invigorating and spleen strengthening, Qi supplementing and kidney nourishing, lung invigorating and kidney tonifying, aminophylline, particularly those for lung invigorating and spleen strengthening; The recipes for rectifying NF-kappaB pathway with intensity from high to low were recipes for lung invigorating and spleen strengthening, lung invigorating and kidney tonifying, Qi supplementing and kidney nourishing and aminophylline, particularly the first three types of drugs. The recipes for rectifying PPARgamma and antioxidant signaling pathway with intensity from high to low were recipes for lung invigorating and kidney tonifying, Qi supplementing and kidney nourishing, lung invigorating and spleen strengthening and aminophylline. Therefore, three methods for regulating and invigorating lung and kidney showed better long-term effects in regulating COPD lung inflammation signaling pathways. Specifically, recipe for lung invigorating and spleen strengthening showed a better effect in JAK/STAT and NF-kappaB pathways, while recipe for lung invigorating and kidney tonifying and Qi supplementing and kidney nourishing showed better effects in PPARgamma and antioxidant signaling pathways. In conclusion, R-value comprehensive evaluation method can evaluate the comprehensive effect of medicines and define the ranking of multiple drugs and their main targets.
