Objective To study endocrine disruptor chemicals causing malformed frogs in an irrigation canal in T city and a pool in CH city. Methods Water samples collected from an irrigation canal in T city and a pool in CH city where malformed frogs were found were concentrated through H103 resin. The concentrated samples were purified and derivated. The endocrine disruptor chemicals in the derivatives were determined by GC/MS and the estrogenic activities in concentrated water samples were assessed by the recombinant yeast estrogen system (RYES). Results Endocrine disruptor chemicals bisphenol_A (5.6?10-3～1.52 ?g/L) and nonylphenol (0.46～0.58 ?g/L) were found in the concentrated water samples of the irrigation canal in T city and the pool in CH city. RYES showed that the estrogenic activities were positive and this result accorded with the data given by GC/MS. Conclusion The results indicated that the cause resulted in malformation of frogs in the irrigation canal in T city and the pool in CH city might be related to endocrine disruptor chemicals.

Objective To explore effect of isoorientin on gastric cancer cell autophagy.Methods Isoorientin and autophagy activator and effect of inhibitors on proliferation of human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 by MTT assay.Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.Production of autophagy lysosomal in gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells was obseroved by AO and MDC staining.Characteristic expression of autophagy protein was analysed by Western blot.Results MTT assay indicated that isoorientin could inhibit gastric cancer cell growth, RAP has the same effects, but 3-MA inhibition of apoptosis.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of isoorientin and RAP could promote cell apoptosis , while 3-MA had the opposite effect.In AO staining, the red light appeared in the cells, and the green fluorescence appeared in the cells of MDC staining, which showed that there was an autophagy in the cells.Western blot test found the isoorientin was cell autophagy specific protein LC-3II, Beclin-1 expression increased, 3-MA suppressed the expression of the two proteins, and RAP had the opposite effect.Conclusion Isoorientin could induce apoptosis in gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells, autophagy is involved in the process of death.

Objective:To investigate the anti-proliferation effect of carvacrol on human gastric cancer cell BGC-823 and explore the molecular mechanism. Methods:The proliferation of BGC-823 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Flow cytometry was used to ana-lyze the cell apoptosis after exposed to carvacrol. Transwell assay was used to analyze the effect of carvacrol on cell metastasis. Quanti-tative realtime-PCR was used to detect the expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1. The expression of caspase-9 and PARP,and the activa-tion of ERK and P38 were detected by Western blot. Results:The incubation with carvacrol resulted in a significant inhibition of BGC-823 cell proliferation. After the treatment with carvacrol,the apoptotic rate was significantly increased( 0 μmol · L-1 vs 10 μmol · L-1 ,P<0. 000 1;0 μmol·L-1 vs 20 μmol·L-1 ,P<0. 000 1;0 μmol·L-1 vs 40 μmol·L-1 ,P<0. 000 1;0 μmol·L-1 vs 80μmol·L-1 ,P<0. 000 1)and the invasion ability was decreased(0 μmol·L-1 vs 80 μmol·L-1 ,P<0. 000 1). The expression of caspase-9(0 μmol·L-1 vs 80 μmol·L-1,P<0. 000 1)and TIMP-1 was increased(P<0. 000 1),PRAP fragment occurred(P<0. 000 1)and P38 signaling pathway was activated in the carvacrol treated group,while the expression of MMP-9 activity of ERK signa-ling pathway was inhibited(P<0.000 1). Conclusion:Carvacrol can inhibit cell growth and invasion,and induce cell apoptosis, which is closely related to MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective: To study the diagnostic characteristics of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) by non-invasive electrocardiography (ECG) in relevant patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 60 CA patients diagnosed in our hospital from 2008-08 to 2013-12 for their clinical and ECG characteristics. Results: There were 48 male and 12 female patients with the ratio of 4: 1. The ifrst time diagnosis rate was low and the average age for conifrmed diagnosis was at (54. 5±14. 2) years.①There were 32 (53. 3%) cases combining heart failure, 12 (20%) with pleural effusion, 20 (33. 3%) with atrial arrhythmia, 8 (13. 3%)with ventricular arrhythmia, 4 (6. 7%)with sino-atrial block, 15 (25%)with atrio-ventricular block, 4 (6. 7%) with left bundle branch block (LBBB), 5 (8. 3%)with RBBB and 8 (13. 3%)with intra-ventricular block.②There were 32 (53. 3%) cases with low voltage on limb leads, 52 (86. 7%) with pseudo-infarct pattern, 48 (60%) with ST-T abnormality and 30 (50%) combining low voltage on limb leads with pseudo-infarct pattern.③The patients combining pleural effusion and with pseudo-infarct pattern had the increased ratio of low voltage on limb leads, while there were still 22 (45. 8%) cases without pleural effusion had low voltage on limb leads.④ ECG characteristics for 60 CA patients were as follows: QRS duration (104±26) ms, QT interval (404±34) ms, QTc (462±35) ms; the R wave of avR 0. 17 mV, QRS wave 0.30 mV; the R wave of limb leads and V1-3 were all<0.5mV, the S wave of V1-3 were 0. 62mV, 1. 61mV, 1. 56mV; the R/S ratio of V1-3 were 0. 19, 0. 12, 0. 20 respectively. Conclusion: CA patients had the highest incidence of pseudo-infarct pattern; meanwhile, combining with low voltage on limb leads, pseudo-infarct with long Q or S wave and ST-T abnormality but normal QRS duration was helpful for differential diagnosis of CA in clinical practice.

To analyse the relationship between tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin-6 with hyperuricemia in ethnic Uygur,Kazak,and Han in Xinjiang province.1 200 cases of Uygur,Han,and Kazak populations were randomly enrolled.Serum uric acid,triglyceride,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein-cholesterol,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,fasting plasma glucose,body weigh and height,waist circumference,and hip circumference were measured.Waist-to-hip ratio and body mass index were calculated,and TNF-α,interleukin-6 were determined.The differences between uric acid and inflammatory factors were statistically significant; The differences in TNF-α was statistically significant between high uric acid group and control group in Uygur and Han,and the differences in interleukin-6 was statistically significant between high uric acid group and control group in Uygur,Kazak,and Han(P＜0.01).TNF-α and interleukin-6 were positively correlated with serum uric acid in Uygur,but in Kazak only interleukin-6 was negatively correlated with serum uric acid,in Han only interleukin-6 was positively correlated with serum uric acid(P ＜ 0.01).Hyperuricemia was associated with inflammatory factors,TNF-α,interleukin-6,but there were ethnic differences among Uygur,Kazak,and Han,thus it may provide people of new ideas for prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia and other related metabolic disorders.

Objective To investigate the association of interleukin-6 (IL-6) with depression using meta analysis. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted to examine depression and interleukin-6 in Chinese patients us-ing“depression”and“interleukin-6”in Databases including PubMed, CBM, VIP, CNKI and WanFang Data. A me-ta-analysis was performed to analyze correlation between depression and interleukin-6 using RevMan 5.2.8 software. Results A total of 9 studies were recruited, involving 432 depression patients and 277 healthy controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that concentration of IL-6 was higher in depression patients than in healthy controls(SMD=1.48, 95%CI:0.78~2.18,P<0.05). Subgroup analysis in the first-episode subgroup and the non first-episode subgroup showed that concentration of interleukin-6 was higher in depression patients than that in controls [the first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.94,95%CI:0.07~3.81,P<0.05), the non first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.26,95%CI:0.60~1.93,P<0.05)]. Conclusion There is a good correlation between depression and the serum IL-6 concentration. Due to the small number of studies and heterogeneity in different studies, the present meta-analysis has not yet confirmed the quantitative correla-tion between IL-6 and depression.
