Forkhead Box m1 ( Foxm1) is a component of the Fox transcription factor family. It is only detected in proliferating cells, but disappears when cells enter into their terminal differentiation phase. Foxml is closely related to cellular growth mainly through inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase(cdk) inhibitors to influence cell proliferation. It also participates in growth hormone mediated cell multiplication. The overexpression of Foxml has been observed in many tumor cell lines and malignant tumors, indicating that Foxml might be an essential proto-oncogene in carcinoaenesis. Upregulation of Foxml is sufficient to induce genomic instability due to loss of heterozygosity and variation of copy numbers. Foxml-induced genomic instability was significantly enhanced and accumulated with increasing cell passages. Foxml might become a new potential target for the treatment human cancer based on future investigations.

Objective To know the effect of cold stress on the artery pressure and the concentration of IL-2, IL-10, IFN-?, TNF-? in the serum of the rabbits. Methods The local white rabbits of China (clean grade) were anesthetized. The mAP (mean artery pressure), mSP (mean systolic pressure), mDP (mean diastolic pressure) and the concentration of IL-2, IL-10, IFN-?, TNF-? were determined at 0 h, 0.25 h, 0.50 h, 0.75 h, 1.00 h, 1.50 h, 2.00 h, 3.00 h, 4.00 h and 6.00 h after cold stress. Results The mAP,mSP and mDP changed undulant with the delay of cold stress,but the whole tendency was descendent. The mAP,mSP and mDP went up to the peak at 1 h,however lower than control. The concentration of IL-2 increased then decreased with the delay of cold stress,the concentration of IL-10 went down then up and the concentration of TNF-?,IFN-? went down gradually. There was a strong correlation between IFN-? and TNF-? (r=0.983 0,P

Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy without using titanium-clips. Methods Data of 1016 patients(group A) undergoing single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy without using titanium-clips were compared to that of 874 patients(group B)undergoing two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy without using titanium-clips by t test and chi square test for operating time,operative hemorrhage,the length of postoperative hospital stay and postoperative pain.Results In group A,1001 cases were successfully operated on with single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy,with conversion to classic four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 15 cases,while 874 cases in group B were operated on with two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.There were no bile leakage,biliary tract injury or death in both groups.There were no difference in operating time[(34.5 ±5.2) min vs (32.0±7.4)min,t=0.063,P=0.526],the length of postoperative hospital stay[(3.1±0.8)d vs(3.2±0.7)d,t=1.073,P=0.326]and operative hemorrhage[(56.5±17.8)ml vs (55.2±15.9)ml,t=0.812,P=0.425](P>0.05) between the two groups,but the postoperative pain was less severe in Group A than that in group B (P=0.000<0.05). Conclusions The single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible,safe,less traumatic and more cosmetic.

Objective To study the expression of WWOX and C-JUN in keloid and to approach their role and mechanism in the pathogenesis of keloid.Methods Immunohistochemical SP methods were used with computer pathological image analysis.Western blot and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-RCR) were performed to detect the expression of WWOX and C-JUN in keloid and normal skin with statistical analysis.Results In keloid,the expression of WWOX protein was located in the cytoplasm of fibroblasts,and the expression of WWOX protein and its mRNA decreased,with significantly statistical difference (P＜0.05) compared to normal skin in the control group; the expression of C-JUN protein was located in the cell nucleus and cytoplasm of fibroblasts,with increased expression of C-JUN protein and its mRNA,with significantly statistical difference (P＜0.05) in comparison to normal skin in the control group.The expression of both was negative correlation (r=-0.626,P＜0.01).Conclusions Both WWOX with low expression and C-JUN with high expression are keloid-related genes,having significantly negative correlation between them,which may be one of the mechanisms for the keloid formation.It indicates that the WWOX protein may be an inhibitory factor to the expression of C-JUN protein,and the genes may play a major role in the pathogenesis of keloiod through fibroblasts.

Objective To study the expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E(eIF4E)in the pathological scars and its probable role in the pathogenesis of pathological scars.Methods Immunohistochemiscal technique was performed to detect the expression and distribution of eIF4E protein in hypertrophic scars(14 cases),keloids(25 cases),mature scars(20 cases)and normal skins(20 cases).Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was used to detect the eIF4E mRNA level in hypertrophic scars(7 cases),keloids(8 cases),mature scars(8 cases)and normal skins(8 cases).Results Thepositive rate of eIF4E protein expression was remarkably significant difference between normal scars and pathological scars(P＜0.05).The level of eIF4E mRNA in pathological scars 1.73±0.31was higher than that in control group 0.99±0.28.There was significant difference between two groups (P＜O.05).Conclusions The expression of eIF4E is increased in pathological scar.eIF4 E expression is closely associated with the development of pathological scar.Therefore,eIF4E overexpression may play an important role in the proliferation of fibroblasts and in the pathogenesis of pathological scar.

Neuropathic pain (NP) that contributes to the comorbidity between pain and depression is a clinical dilemma. Neuroinflammatory responses are known to have potentially important roles in the initiation of NP and depressive mood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of paeoniflorin (PF) on NP-induced depression-like behaviors by targeting the hippocampal neuroinflammation through the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)uclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) signaling pathway. We used a murine model of NP caused by unilateral sciatic nerve cuffing (Cuff ). PF was injected intraperitoneally once a day for a total of 14 days. Pain and depression-like behavior changes were evaluated via behavioral tests. Pathological changes in the hippocampus of mice were observed by H&E staining. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus were detected using ELISA. Activated microglia were measured by immunohistochemical staining. The TLR4/NF-kB signaling pathwayassociated protein expression in the hippocampus was detected by western blotting. We found that the PF could significantly alleviate Cuff-induced hyperalgesia and depressive behaviors, lessen the pathological damage to the hippocampal cell, reduce proinflammatory cytokines levels, and inhibit microglial over-activation. Furthermore, PF downregulated the expression levels of TLR4/NF-kB signaling pathwayrelated proteins in the hippocampus. These results indicate that PF is an effective drug for improving the comorbidity between NP and depression.
