Autophagy is a highly conservative biological behavior in eukaryotic cells .This dynamic process involves wrappingcytoplasmic components and combining with lysosomes in cells for catabolism .Auto-phagy can not only take part in maintaining homeostasis ,but also be closely related with tumor development and resistant.Therefore,autophagy is a potential target for antitumor drug resistant .Specific inhibition of autophagy in cancer cells combined with chemotherapy is expected to be an effective cancer treatment strategy .

Objective To find the characteristics of stress distribution on condyle during different vertical distances of edentulous jaw.Methods Three dimensional finite element models of the mandible and temporomandibular joint were established with the complete dentures in different heights by helix-CT scanned transverse sections.The stress distribution of the condyle was analyzed under load.Results The compressive stress and tensile stress coexisted on the whole condyle with the different vertical distances.The trend of distribution was consistent practically,but the stress presented a large difference on different locum.With the decrease of the vertical distance(from H-2 to H-6),the stress presented a decreasing trend but an increasing trend at H-8.Conclusion Changes in the vertical distance produce different effects of stress on edentulous jaw under the same load.

Objective To detect the expression levels of serum alpha fetal protein (AFP),carbohydrate antigen 199(CA-199) and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) in a rat model of liver cancer and elderly liver cancer patients,and explore its clinical significance.Methods A rat model of liver cancer was successfully established by intraperitoneal injection of a low dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN).The expression levels of serum AFP,CA-199 and CEA in rats were determined and compared during the development of liver cancer.Blood samples were collected from elderly subjects with normal liver and elderly liver cancer patients(n=80,each).The expressions of serum AFP,CA-199 and CEA were determined and compared between healthy elderly patients and elderly liver cancer patients.Results Serum levels of AFP,CA-199 and CEA were higher in liver cancer rats than in normal rats [(4.21±1.32) μg/Lvs.(1.05±0.33) μg/L,(3.78±1.04) kU/L vs.(1.00±0.28) kU/L,(3.54±0.92) μg/Lvs.(1.10±0.37) μg/L,t=9.493,8.609,7.675,respectively,all P=0.000].Serum AFP,CA-199 and CEA levels were higher in elderly patients with liver cancer than in elderly subjects with normal liver [(66.89±9.33) μg/L vs.(2.56±1.09) μg/L,(116.89±43.33) kU/L vs.(5.56±1.26) kU/L,(5.83 ± 1.56) μg/L vs.(1.17 ± 0.51) μg/L(t=14.379,17.470,10.677,respectively,all P=0.000).The positive rate of joint detection of AFP,CA-199 and CEA was higher in elderly patients with liver cancer than in elderly subjects with normal liver [77.50% (62/80) vs.1.25%(1/80),x2 =17.260,P=0.000].Conclusions The joint detection of AFP,CA-199 and CEA can help increase the diagnostic rate of liver cancer in elderly patients.

Objective To investigate the value of CT perfusion imaging in quantitative monitoring on microcirculation hemodynamics,differences between tumor and normal tissues,differences between mass center and edge,and on tumour microvascular responses to anti-angiogenesis therapy. Methods Fifteen male New Zealand white rabbits were established to VX2 tumor-bearing model. The animals were divided into 2 groups,anti-angiogenesis therapy (n=11,TNP-470,20 to 30 mg/kg),and control (n=4). DEC-CT scanning (80 kV,120 mA,20 cm VOF) was performed at 1 week after tumor implantation,1 week after anti-angiogenesis therapy,and 2 week after anti-angiogenesis therapy. Perfusion parameters,including blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV),mean transit time (MTT),and permeability surface (PS) were calculated for tumor mass,tumor edge,tumor center and normal tissue. Results Significant differences of the average values were observed in BF,PS and MTT between tumor and normal tissue [149.32?30.99 vs 32.18?4.10 ml/(100 g?min),28.24?5.15 vs 11.88?0.71 ml/(100 g?min),2.79?0.66 vs 6.57?0.90 s,P

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of perioperative coagulation dysfunction in neonates with gastrointestinal surgery.Methods Coagulation indexs, including plasma prothrombin time (PT), partial activated thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and plasma fibrinogen (Fib), were collected retrospectively from June 2002 to April 2016 in gastrointestinal neonatal surgery, as well as perioperative clinical data and the perioperative coagulation dysfunction associated risk factors were analyzed.Results There were 158 cases with abnormal coagulation indexs within 4 hours after operation, including 61 cases of mild abnormalities and 97 cases of obvious abnormalities.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative pneumonia (OR=2.880, 95%CI 1.417-5.852), perioperative low calcium (OR=2.381, 95%CI 1.167-4.857) and invasive puncture catheter (OR=2.490, 95%CI 1.299-4.773) were independent risk factors for neonatal coagulation index abnormality within 4 hours after surgery (P<0.05).Conclusion In the perioperative management, pneumonia should be actively treated, correcting hypocalcemia and choosing concentrations of less than 6.25 U/ml of heparin solution or normal saline careing arteriovenous catheter reduces the occurrence of neonatal postoperative coagulation dysfunction.

Objective To simulate a finite element model for biomechanical analysis of mandible chin blast injury and analyze the mechanism of maxillofacial blast injury.Methods The three-dimensional element model of human mandible blast injury was established to simulate the dynamic process of injury to the mandible chin.Von Mises stress and effective strain were evaluated in biomechanical study of the simulation results.Results The dynamic damage process of human mandible chin blast injury was simulated successfully.In the condition of 1 000 mg and 3 cm,the Von Mises stress and effective were maximum at condylar neck region (9.1 × 106 Pa,0.62 × 10-3ε),were second at mandibular angle region (6.1 × 106 Pa,0.42 × 10-3ε),and minimum at mental foramen region (6.1 × 106 Pa,0.39 × 10-3ε).Blast distance rather than blast equivalent produced more effect on the mechanical parameters and damage degree.Conclusions Von Mises stress and effective strain can be applied to the evaluation of bone tissue damage.The finite element method is effective in simulating mandible blast injury and can provide a new thought and approach to clinical treatment of oral and maxillofacial blast injury.

Objective To observe the effect of effective monomer of Kangxianling prescription on renal function and extracellular matrix composition of 5/6 nephrectomy rats model, and provide basis for the screening of effective traditional Chinese medicine of anti-renal fibrosis. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, chrysophanol group, salvianolate A group, oleanolic acid group and losartan group. The kidney fibrosis model was made by operation. Two months after intervented by correspong drugs, renal pathological changes of all groups were observed, the levels of renal function indexes were detected, and real-time PCR assay was used to detect laminin (LN), fibronectin (FN), type Ⅲ collagen (C-Ⅲ), type Ⅰ collagen (C-Ⅰ) mRNA expression in rat kidney tissue. Results SCr and BUN in model group increased significantly compared with the normal group (P<0.01). SCr and BUN in salvianolate A group decreased significantly compared with the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). BUN in salvianolate A group decreased significantly compared with the losartan group (P<0.01). The expression of C- ,Ⅲ C-Ⅰand LN were reduced by effective monomer of Kangxianling prescription. Conclusion Effective monomer of Kangqianling prescription can inhibit renal fibrosis through reducing the expression of extracellular matrix components, thereby improve the renal function.
