Objective: To investigate pharmacokinetics of propofol during anhepatic period of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in children. Methods: In 5 children undergoing OLT, 2 mg/kg propofol was injected intravenously at the beginning of induction and anhepatic periods respectively. The plasma concentration of propofol was measured by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC), and the pharmacokinetics character of propofol between anhepatic and inducing periods were compared. Results: Propofol had wide distribution and high clearance, and its plasma concentration-time curves were fitted to a three-compartment open model. Conclusion: There is no difference of propofol metabolism between anhepatic and inducing periods, suggesting that there must be notable extra-hepatic metabolism when propofol used in children undergoing OLT.

Objective To study the influence of short hairpin RNA-mediated inhibition of APRIL gene on proliferation,invasion and metastasis of human colon carcinoma SW480 ceils in vitro. Methods After treatment with shRNA, the expression level of APRIL protein in human colon carcinoma SW480 cells was detected by western blotting. And cell adhesion, cell migration and cell invasion of SW480 cells transfected with sh637 were analyzed respectively as compared with non-transfected SW480 cells and mocktransfectant. Results The expression of APRIL protein in SW480 transfected with sh637 were significantly lower than mock-plasmid groups and untransfected ones (F=42.15, P=0.00). Cell proliferation was markedly inhibited, compared with untransfected groups and negative control ones (F=24.76, P<0.05).And the average absorption of cell adhesion in transfected groups, mock-plasmid and non-transfected ones were 0.343, 0.409, 0.412, respectively. Cell adhesion decreased 39% compared with untransfected groups. Similarly, there was significant difference for cell migration (F=65.53, P<0.01) between transfected groups (The average ceil number in exposed area to migrate was 47.89±13.16) and nontransfected (98.78±23.26) as well as mock-plasmid ones (108.01±39.11). Then, in view of the average absorption of cell invasion between transfected groups(0.58±0.10) and non-transfected (0.94±0.23) as well as mock-plasmid ones(1.11±0.21), a prominently difference for cell invasion was also found between them (F=5.771, P<0.05). Conclusion The results suggest APRIL has a proliferation-inducing effect and probably be involved in cell invasion and cell metastasis of colon carcinoma and it could enhance capacity of invasion and metastasis of SW480 cells.

BACKGROUND: Both biological and physical methods contribute to the repair of white meniscal tears, so the combined use will be better. OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of radiofrequency combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the repair of white meniscal tears. METHODS: Forty-eight adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, including simple suture, radiofrequency, PRP, and combination groups, and then the model of medial meniscus posterior root tears was established in all experimental animals. The simple suture group underwent interrupted mattress suture; the radiofrequency group was treated with radiofrequency (20 W, 45 ℃) after suture; the PRP group received the intra-articular injection of PRP after suture; the combination group was firstly treated with radiofrequency after suture, and then underwent the intra-articular injection of PRP. The gross and histological changes of the meniscus were observed, and the expression levels of transforming growth factor β1, vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor were detected at 3 and 12 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 12 weeks after operation, the simple suture group showed no healing; the radiofrequency and PRP groups healed partially; and the combination group healed completely, and chondrocytes and collagen fibers arranged regularly. There was a significant difference in the healing rate between combination and simple suture groups (P=0.003). At 3 weeks postoperatively, the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in the radiofrequency, PRP and combination groups were obviously higher than that in the simple suture group, which decreased markedly at the 12th week. At 3 weeks postoperatively, the expression level of platelet-derived growth factor was increased in all groups, especially in the PRP and combination groups. The PRP group showed the highest level of transforming growth factor β1 at 12 weeks postoperatively. These results manifest that the combination of radiofrequency and PRP promotes the repair of white meniscal tears by increasing the cell proliferation, cell mitosis and angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in micro RNA-122 (miRNA-122) with genetic predisposition and early recurrence after resection for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods This is a case-control study involving 173 HCC patients.DNA were exacted from cancer tissues embedded in paraffin and were amplified by PCR.The study aimed to explore SNP in gene sequence of miRNA-122 (357 base pair including extron.The outcomes of genetic predisposition were analyzed with early recurrence after resection for HCC.Results Only rs17669 was found in miRNA-122.The genetype frequence of C/C,T/T and C/T at rs17669 gene locus were 7(4.0%),110(63.6%)and 56(32.4%),respectively.When compared to T/T genetype,C/C genetype was a protective factor of risk of HCC (OR =0.213,95% CI:0.062-0.732).Genetypes had no relationship with early recurrence after resection.Conclusion For HCC recurrence,rs17669 may be associated with genetic predisposition of HCC in Hans in Jiangxi infected with HBV.
