The slides were then analyzed with an Image Analyzing system to obtain the density of stained proteins.The levels of RvD1,LXA4 and IL-6 in serum by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results The expression of HO-1 in patients with active UC was higher than that in normal group and remission of UC.The levels of RvD1,LXA4 and IL-6 in patients with active UC were significantly higher than that in normal group and remission of UC.The levels of HO-1,RvD1,LXA4 in patients with active UC were posi-tively correlated with IL-6.The levels of HO-1,RvD1,LXA4 in patients with normal group and remission of UC had no relevance with IL-6.Conclusions The expression of HO-1,RvD and LXA4 in activity of the UC may plays an important role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal motility disorders such as UC.

BACKGROUND: The intraocular lens can move forward during cataract optic capsular surgery,but the changes in the human eye diopter cannot be monitored in such a dynamically adjustment process,it is difficult to obtain clinical data which could reveal the correlation between intraocular lens forward and human eye diopter adjustment.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of intraocular lens movement on the adjustment of human eye diopter.METHODS: Based on Hwey-Lan Liou eye model,using optical design software ZEMAX to realize ray tracing,the relationship of intraocular lens forward in the eye with the adjustment of human eye diopter was investigated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Once the intraocular lens forward for a certain distance,human eye obtained the amount of accommodating diopter was not constant; the adjustment amount depended on the axial length and the required intraocular lens implantation,especially in axial length; for the intraocular lens forward of the surgical eyes at different axial lengths,the amount of accommodating human eye diopter was negatively correlated with axial length.

Objective To determine the impact of exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on rat liver function after partial liver transplantation. Methods Male SD rats which had undergone 30% partial liver transplantation were divided into VEGF treatment group (n=60) and control group (n=60). Animals in each group were injected with solution of VEGF or saline, respectively. Serum ALT, AST, and hyaluronic acid (HA) levels were assessed at 0, 12, 24, 72, 168 hours after operation. Results Serum ALT, AST and HA levels were significantly decreased at 72 hours after transplantation in VEGF treatment group compared with controls (t =4.681, 4.252, 2.853, P<0.05). In accordance with liver function, treatment with VEGF minimized the damage to the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and decreased the infiltration of inflamatory cells. Conclusion Administration of VEGF may improve the liver function of rats after partial liver transplantation by maintaining the integrality of the sinusoidal structure and reducing the inflamation reaction.

Objective To study the expression of endogenous cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) and hydrogen sulfide in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), and explore their possible role in the pathogenesis of UC. Methods Thirty patients with active period UC (active period UC group), 30 patients with remission period UC (remission period UC group) and 30 healthy controls (control group) were selected, and SABC method was used to observe the localization of CBS in rectal mucosal tissues. The optical density value of CBS was analyzed with image analysis systems. The relative expression of CBS mRNA in the rectal mucosa tissue was detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the expression of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was detected as an internal reference. The expression level of mRNA was detected by semi quantitative analysis with gel imaging analysis system, and the results were expressed as the ratio of the target bands to the GAPDH absorbance. The serum level of hydrogen sulfide was detected. Results The serum level of hydrogen sulfide, optical density value of CBS and relative expression of CBS mRNA of rectal mucosal tissues in active period UC group were significantly higher than those in remission period UC group and control group: (90.13 ± 3.12) μmol/L vs. (50.34 ± 2.34) and (48.13 ± 2.75) μmol/L, 0.433 ± 0.037 vs. 0.295 ± 0.064 and 0.214 ± 0.026, 1.532 ± 0.134 vs. 1.031 ± 0.107 and 0.986 ± 0.067, and there were statistical differences (P < 0.01); but there were no statistical differences between remission period UC group and control group (P>0.05). Conclusions The abnomal expression of CBS and hydrogen sulfide in aactive period UC may play an important role in the pathogenesis of UC.

Objective To inhibit the gene expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 1 (STAT1) in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell line Eca109 by RNA interference and investigate its effect on the radiosensitivity and cell cycle of Eca109 cells.Methods Interference vector pSTAT1-shRNA for STAT1 gene was designed and constructed.After being mixed with lentiviral packaging plasmids,the interference vectors were used to transfected 293T cells.Virus solution was collected to infect ECA109 cells.Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression levels of STAT1 in Eca109 cells.Colony formation assay and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the radiosensitivity and cell cycle distribution of Eca109 cells.Results All Eca109 cells were divided into blank control group,transfection-positive group,and transfection-negative group.The transfection-positive group showed significantly lower mRNA and protein expression levels of STAT1 than the other two groups.The values of D0,SF2,and Dq of transfection-positive group were 2.03 Gy,0.83,and 1.20 Gy,respectively,lower than those of blank control group (2.98 Gy,0.88,and 1.39 Gy) and those of transfection-negative cells (3.02 Gy,0.88,and 1.57 Gy).At 12 h,24 h,and 48 h after 4 Gy-irradiation,the transfection-positive group showed significantly higher percentage of G0 + G1 than the blank control group and transfection-negative group (34.13％ vs 22.03％ vs 22.27％,F =7.56,P =0.023 ; 43.80％ vs 28.40％ vs28.63％,F=10.01,P=0.012;53.20％ vs42.2％ vs41.83％,F＝10.73,P=0.010) and significantly lower percentage of G2 + M than the blank control group and transfection-negative group (14.33％ vs 32.23％ vs 32.23％,F=16.86,P=0.003;27.73％ vs 43.53％ vs 44.00％,F=26.62,P=0.001;14.23％ vs27.97％ vs27.93％,F=40.34,P=0.000).Conclusions RNAinterference of STAT1 in Eca109 cells does not affect the proliferation ability of Eca109 cells,and it can increase the radiosensitivity of Eca109 cells probably by regulating cell cycle after irradiation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between α1-adrenergic receptor and the pathological behavior of cholangiocarcinoma, and the effects of norepinephrine (NE) on the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939. Methods Thirty-six samples of cholangiocarcinoma were resected in Southwest Hospital from August 2002 to March 2008. The expression of α1-adrenergic receptor in the 36 samples of cholangiocarcinoma tissue and 4 samples of normal bile duct tissue were detected by SABC technique. The proliferation of cholangio-carcinoma cell line QBC939 was detected after processing the cells with NE, phentolamine and prazosin. All the data were analyzed by chi-square test. Results The high positive expression rate of α1-adrenergic receptor was 68% (17/25) in patients with lymph node metastasis, which was significantly higher than 9% (1/11) in patients without lymph node metastasis (χ2=10.604, P<0.05). The high positive expression rate of α1-adrenergic receptor was 85% (11/13) in patients with middle and low positioned cholangiocarcinoma, which was significantly higher than 30% (7/23) in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (χ2=9.753, P<0.05). NE promoted the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939 by stimulating the expression of α1-adrenergic receptor, and in a concentration-dependent manner. The proliferative effect was weakened as time passed by, and it was eliminated by phentolamine and prazosin. Conclusions The expression of α1-adrenergic receptor is diverse due to lymph node metastasis and the location of the tumor, α1-adrenergic receptor with high expression may play an important role in the proliferation and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of selective renal artery embolization (SRAE) for the treatment of kidney diseases. Methods Seventy-four cases of renal carcinomas, 11 cases of renal angiomyolipomas (RAML) and 72 cases of traumatic renal haemorrhages were first demonstrated by renal arteriography under Seldinger technique to ensure a site, range and neighbouring relation of lesions and then followed by percutaneous catheterized selective renal arterial embolization with embolic agents. Results The edema around the carcinomas and abscesses became obvious, and bleeding were reduced, which were convenient for operation after SRAE for the preoperative adjuvant treatment of renal carcinomas. The clinical symptoms were improved obviously in 9 eases with advanced renal carcinoma after palliative treatment. The tumour volumes of 11 RAML were decreased evidently by 15 %-65 % with the average of 42 %. The bleeding in 68 cases of traumatic renal haemorrhage were ceased completely in 1-4 days after embolism, 2 cases with serious renal fragmented injury and huge perirenal hematoma combined with shock received successful operation after SRAE, 2 cases bleeding again after SRAE were cured by the second SRAE. No severe complications occurred after embolization in all the patients. Conclusions As a minimal invasive technique,selective renal artery embolization is a safe, effective method with less complications and an adjuvant pre-op-erative therapy for renal carcinoma or a palliative treatment for advanced carcinoma and an effective treatment for RAML and traumatic renal haemorrhage.
