Background Aberrant proliferation of residual lens epithelial cells (LECs) is one of main causes of posterior capsular opacification (PCO).Researches indicated that Wnt3a signaling pathway promote proliferation of epithelial cells,but its effect on LECs is still unclear. Objective The present study was to investigate the effects of Wnt3a on proliferation of human LECs and its mechanism and to provide a new gene target in the prevention and treatment of PCO. Methods Human LECs line (SRA01/04 cells ) was cultured and then incubated to 6-well plate at the density of 4×105/well.A human Wnt3a cDNA expressing vector targeted human LECs was constructed to increase the Wnt3a expression in SRA01/04 cells,and pcDNA3-HA expression vector was used as the control group.The expression of Wnt3a was identified by Western blot assay after transfected.The growth and proliferation of SRA01/04 cells were detected by MTT and flow cytometry (FCM).The expressions of β-catenin,cyclin D1 and c-myc in the cells were detected by Western blot assay.β-Catenin expression was localized using immunofluorescence assay,and the expression and localization of proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA ) were analyzed by immunocytochemistry for the exploration of the active mechanism of Wnt3a to proliferation of LECs.Results Human Wnt3a cDNA expression vector was designed successfully and transiently transfected to SRA01/04 cells,and Wnt3a/SRA01/04 cells and pcDNA3-HA/SRA01/04 cells were obtained.The expression of Wnt3a was verified in the Wnt3a transfected group compared with the control group.MTT indicated that the cell proliferating rate was significantly different between the Wnt3a transfected group and the control group ( Fgroup =15.235,P =0.005 ;Ftime =369.677,P =0.000),and that in various time points after transfected was significantly different (t =20.843,P=0.001 ;t =26.214,P＜0.001 ;t=25.177,P=0.001 ;t =35.516,P＜0.001 ;t =615.056,P＜0.001 ).The proportion of SRA01/04 cells in G1 phase was 51.74％ in the Wnt3a cDNA transfected group,with a significantly decrease in comparison with 79.44％ of the control group.However,the proportion of SRA01/04 cells in S phase in the Wnt3a cDNA transfected group was higher than that of the control group (36.23％ versus 12.34％ ).The positive expression rate of PCNA protein in SRA01/04 was (47.00％ ±7.58％ ) in the Wnt3a cDNA transfected group and ( 16.00％ ±3.61％ ) in the control group with a significant difference between them (t =8.256,P＜0.01 ).After 48 hours of transfection of the Wnt3a cDNA,the expression amount of β-catenin proteins was higher and the immunofluorescence was stronger in cell nucleus,and the expressions of cyclin D1 and c-myc proteins were elevated in Wnt3a/SRA01/04 cells. Conclusions The overexpression of Wnt3a activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and downregulates the expression of a subset of target genes,including cyclin D1 and c-myc,which plays an important role in promoting the proliferation of human LECs.

The CB1 receptor belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor families and are distributed extensively in the nervous system and peripheral tissues. Higher CB1 receptor system activity exhibits in obesity and the CB1 receptor is believed as anorexigenic receptor. It had been showed that rimonabant, a potent and selective antagonist of the CB1 receptor, has the ability to reduce body weight significantly and has been permitted to enter market for obesity therapy recently. Lots of researches have demonstratee that the initial reduction of body weight may be attributed to the severe anorexia induced by rimonabant, the following lasting effect of the drug on body weight loss might be due to an increase induced by it in energy expenditure.

Objective To study the right ventricular function of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism by using color Doppler ultrasound.Methods 31 patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism,compared with 31 vohnteers,were enrolled in this study.The right ventricular anterior wall movement,right ventricular end diastolic volume,right ventricular ejection fraction,and myocardial performance index were observed by echocardiography.Resuits The right atrium diameter,right ventricles diameter,right ventrieular end diastolic volume and pulmonary artery inner diameter in study group were much larger than that in control group (P<0.01),and the right ventricular anterior wall movement and right ventrieular ejection fraction decreased in study group (P<0.01).Tricuspidal annular E peak velocity tended to be decreased,isovolumie relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time were prolonged and myocardial performance index was increased (P<0.01).Right ventricular myocardial performance index showed significant correlation with right ventrieular ejection fraction (r=0.78,P<0.01),isovolumic relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time(rl=0.88,r2=0.57,P<0.01).Conclusion The right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary thromboembelism is decreased and myocardial performance index is a sensitive index which can be used to reflect right ventricular function in pulmonary thromboembolism.

Objective To study the quantification of MDR1 and WT1 gene expression in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia(AML)and to explore the role of these two genes in clinical drug resistance and their correlation with risk stratification. Methods A real time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction method was established for detecting MDR1 and WT1 gene expression levels in 63 de novo AML patients.Resuits The expression of WT1 and MDR1 was significantly higher in de novo AML patients than in normal controls (P＜0.001).WT1 levels were significantly correlated with corresponding levels of MDR1 gene in de novo AML patients(P=0.004).Expression levels of WT1 and MDR1 gene were not associated with FAB subtype and risk stratication(P＞0.05).AML patients with FLT3-ITD mutations had a significantly higher WT1 expression level as compared to with those without(P＜0.05),on the contrary MDR1 expression was not associated with FLT3-ITD mutations(P＞0.05).Patients with co-expression of high levels of WT1 and MDR1 had a significantly lower complete remission rate after induction therapy than those with low levels(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is a positive correlation between MDR1 gene expression and WT1 gene expression in AML.Quantification of the two gene expression together is more effective for judgement of prognosis in AML.

Objective To research the feasibility and accuracy on echocardiography measurement aortic annulus diameter(AAD)at the plane of three Junctions of aortic valve leaflets by real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography(RT-3D-TEE).Methods Twenty-three patients underwent echocardiography and aortic valve replacement because of acquired aortic valve disease.The AAD was measured in parasternal left ventricle long axis view(TTE-AAD)by transthoracic echocardiography(TTE)preoperative.The AAD was measured in left ventricle long axis view(TEE-AAD)and the distance of three iunctions of aortic valve leaflets (N,L,R) was measured in aortic short axis view by RT-3D-TEE intraoperative.The three-dimensional full volume images were analyzed by online QLAB 7.0 software.The AAD was measured by standard cylindrical valve sizer (OP-AAD)before aortic valve replacement surgery,too.Results Comparing with the three aortic valve leaflets of acquired aortic valve disease,the lines between their junctions constituted an approximate equilateral triangle regardless of the cause and degree of disease,and the length of the three groups was no significant difference(P>0.05).There was no significant difference between TTE-AAD and OP-AAD group(P>0.05),and the correlation was good(r=0.84).The N,L and R group compared separately with the OP-AAD group, there was no significant difference(P>0.05)and correlation was superior to TTE-AAD group(r=0.94, 0.97, 0.96).The difference between TEE-AAD and OP-AAD were significant(P<0.01).Conclusions Echocardiography measurement of AAD at the plane of three junctions of aortic valve leaflets is feasible,and it is better accuracy and repeatability comparing with parasternal left ventricle long axis view.
