OBJECTIVETo study the effect of eight specifications of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum on the osteoporosis of ovariectomized rats and grade the eight different specifications of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum.

METHODTotally 100 SD female rats were divided randomly into 10 groups, namely the normal group, the model group and eight Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum groups of different specifications. Their bilateral ovaries were excised to reproduce the osteoporosis model. Meanwhile, the rats were given the eight different specifications of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum for consecutively 12 weeks. Subsequently, the effects of the different specifications of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum on bone mineral density and serum biochemical indicators of rats were observed. A clustering analysis was made for the eight specifications of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum, with the serum content of ALP, BMP-2 and BGP as influencing factors.

RESULTAfter 12 weeks, the eight different specifications of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum could significantly improve ALP, BMP-2, BGP in serum and bone mineral density of ovariectomized rats. And the cluster analysis showed similar results to the quality classification of traditional commercial herbs Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum.

CONCLUSIONDifferent specifications of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum can antagonize the osteoporosis of ovariectomized rats, and their effects are related to the quality of commercial herbs.

Objective:To investigate the effect of miRNA-1-3p (miR-1-3p) on expression of myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) and the biological function of osteosarcoma cells.Methods:The tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues of 20 patients with osteosarcoma who were clinically diagnosed in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were collected, and the expression of miR-1-3p in the samples was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The expression of miR-1-3p in osteosarcoma cell lines U2-OS, SAOS-2, MG63, SW1353 and human normal osteoblast cell line hFOB1.19 was detected by qRT-PCR, then the cell line with the lowest expression of miR-1-3p was selected for follow-up experiments. An overexpression miR-1-3p vector was constructed (miR-1-3p mimcs). The miR-1-3p overexpression group was transfected with miR-1-3p mimcs, and the control group was transfected with empty vector (miR-1-3p nc). CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation activity of cells; flow cytometry was used to detect the changes of cell apoptosis and cell cycle. miRwalk database was used to predict the miR-1-3p target gene, and the target gene was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay; Western blot was used to detect the expression of MEF2A protein in cells of each group.Results:Compared with adjacent tissues, the expression of miR-1-3p in osteosarcoma tissues was down-regulated (0.31±0.14 vs. 0.62±0.21), and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.31, P<0.01). The expression of miR-1-3p in U2-OS cells was the lowest; compared with the control group, the proliferation activity of U2-OS cells was inhibited in miR-1-3p overexpression group (48 h absorbance value 0.56±0.01 vs. 0.77±0.03, t = 2.77, P<0.01; 72 h absorbance value 0.87±0.02 vs. 1.40±0.03, t = 2.93, P<0.01); G 1/S cell cycle arrest increased [G 1 phase (38.24±0.55)% vs. (32.11±0.80)%, t = 9.27, P = 0.01; S phase (61.24±0.90)% vs. (67.78±0.83)%, t = 7.52, P = 0.02]; early apoptotic rate increased [(11.20±0.12)% vs. (1.50±0.12)%, t = 2.91, P<0.05], miRwalk database predicted that the miR-1-3p target gene was MEF2A. The result of dual-luciferase reporter gene assay showed that miR-1-3p bound to MEF2A 3'UTR, and the luciferase activity of U2-OS cells in miR-1-3p overexpression group was lower than that in the control group (renilla luciferase/firefly luciferase activity ratio 0.53±0.06 vs. 1.00±0.04, t = 4.04, P < 0.05). Western blot showed that the expression of MEF2A protein in U2-OS cells of miR-1-3p overexpression group was lower than that of the control group (protein relative expression 0.41±0.14 vs. 0.77±0.12, t = 3.93, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The low expression of miR-1-3p may be associated with the proliferation, apoptosis and cycle changes of osteosarcoma cells. miR-1-3p can negatively regulate the expression of MEF2A protein and regulate the occurrence and development of osteosarcoma.

AIM: To assess the effect of two different suture methods on the degree of pain and corneal epithelium healing condition after pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival flap graft transplantation. ·METHODS: Retrospective case-series study. According to the suture method, a total of 92 patients (92 eyes) with pterygium who received treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Huzhou University from June 2015 to June 2016 were divided into two group. There were 48 patients ( 48 eyes) in Group A were received intermittent suture, and 44 patients ( 44 eyes ) in Group B were received continuous interlocking suture. The degree of pain after surgery were evaluated between the two groups at 2h, 1d and 1wk after surgery by visual analogue score ( VAS). The healing status of corneal epithelium were observed between the two groups at 1d and 1wk after surgery by fluorescent staining. ·RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the average pain value 2h after surgery between Group A and Group B (P>0. 05). The average pain values 1d and 1wk after surgery in Group B was lower than that in Group A respectively (P<0. 01). Mean scores of corneal epithelium healing condition at 1wk were significantly better in Group B than in Group A (0. 54 ± 0. 32 vs 0. 86 ± 0. 34, P<0. 05), while not significantly different at 1d after the surgery (4. 04±1. 46 vs 4. 30±1. 42, P>0. 05). · CONCLUSION: Compared to intermittent suture, continuous interlocking suture can release pain response after pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival flap graft transplantation and promote the healing status of corneal epithelium.
