Objective To investigate the effects of the interaction between environmental factors and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene polymorphism in Han and Uygur on alcoholics in Xinjiang. Methods The data of childhood abuse and domestic aggressive behaviors were collected from 284 patients with alcohol dependence from Xinjiang using self-made questionnaires, Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS) and Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 (BIS-11). The meth?ods of PCR and DNA sequencing technique were conducted to detect rs1137070 single nucleotide polymorphism loci of MAOA gene. Logistic regression analysis was performed to adjust for interaction effects of gene and childhood abuse on domestic violence. Results The scale evaluation identified 143 patients with and 138 patients without domestic violence. Childhood abuse and gene were both risk factors in domestic violence. The interaction effect of childhood abuse with rs1137070 was significant. the relative excess risk, the interaction attribution ratio and the interaction index were 1.00,0.14 and 1.20, respectively. Conclusions The interactions between genes and environmental risk factors may contribute to the domestic violence in Han and Uygur on alcoholics in Xinjiang.

Objective To evaluate the potential effects of RS504393, CC chemokine receptor (CCR) 2b and CCR1 antagonist, on LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Method A549 cell line was stimulated with LPS (10 μg/mL) and then treated with RS504393 (10 μg/mL) for 6 hours. ALI model was established with intranasal administration of LPS (5 mg/kg) in C57BL/6J mice. RS504393 (5 mg/kg) was administered 30 min before LPS dripped nasally. IL-8, IL-1β, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-l,monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-2,and the expressions of CCR1 and CCR2b were studied by using Realtime-RT-PCR, ELISA and cyto-flowmetry. Results In A549 cell line treated with RS504393,the expressions of CCR1, CCR2b and IL-8 were significantly inhibited after LPS stimulation. In rats with LPS-induced ALI, treatment with RS504393 significantly protected mice against lung injury by attenuating influx of leukocytes and protein into bronchoalveolar space and by lessening pathological changes of lung. Treatment with RS504393 down-regulated IL-1β and PAI-1 expressions in bronchoal veolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lungs at mRNA and protein levels along with up-regulation MCP-2 expression compared to rats of vehicle-treated groups. Conclusions CCR2b and CCR1 play pivotal roles in the development of ALl,and RS504393 as a antagonist can halt the development of ALI.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of iFlow in the auxiliary diagnosis of cerebral vascular diseases.Methods Totally 65 patients with cerebral vascular diseases underwent whole brain 2D DSA.Then the data were converted to color coded images with iFlow.The vascular anatomy,the shape and size of lesions,the blood dynamics on 2D DSA and iFlow images were evaluated by junior and senior physicians,who then reported whether iFlow images had supplementary diagnosis value.ResultsiFlow images displayed whole information of lesions more clearly than those of 2D DSA in brain vascular dynamic sequence,including vascular anatomy,hemodynamic changes and tissues perfusions.The evaluation of 2D DSA and iFlow images with junior and senior physicians had statistical difference (x2 =6.032,P=0.014).ConclusionCompared to single DSA,iFlow can facilitate the diagnosis and evaluation of cerebral vascular diseases,especially for junior physicians.

OBJECTIVE To study the molecular mechanism of cisplatin(DDP)by which HeLa cell growth and proliferation are inhibited. METHODS Cultured HeLa cells were treated with DDP 0.02-75 μmol · L-1 for 24 or 48 h. CCK-8 assay was used to determine the cell proliferation. The wound scratch assay was used to detect the cell migration and invasion. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle arresting. q-PCR was used to test the expression of metastasis suppressor gene 1 (MTSS1)mRNA. Western blot was used to determine protein levels of MTSS1,phosphorylated-extra?cellular signal-regulated kinase(p-ERK) and phosphorylated-serine-threonine kinase(p-AKT). RESULTS Following the treatment with DDP for 24 or 48 h,the proliferation of HeLa cells was inhibited significantly (P<0.05),the value of the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of cells was 4.14 and 11.82 μmol · L-1. Migration and invasion activity of HeLa cells were reduced according to the wound scratch assay(P<0.05). Flow cytometry results showed that the cell cycle was arrested at S phase. q-PCR results showed that MTSS1 mRNA expression changed with DDP in a concentration-dependent manner (r24 h=-0.965,P<0.01;r48 h=-0.953,P<0.01). Western blot showed that the protein levels of MTSS1,p-ERK and p-AKT expression declined significantly with the increase in DDP concentrations(p-ERK:r24 h=-0.875,P<0.01;r48 h=-0.966,P<0.01. p-AKT:r24 h=-0.831,P<0.01;r48 h=-0.863,P<0.01. MTSS1:r24 h=-0.969,P<0.01;r48 h=-0.988,P<0.01). CONCLUSION DDP treatment inhibits HeLa growth and proliferation by interfering with the MTSS1 expression and disturbing the activation of ERK and AKT signaling pathways.

Objective To detect the expression of metastasis sappressor 1(MTSS1) gene in cervical cancer tissue and to clarify its association with cervical cancer.Methods Totally 103 cases of cervical tissue were collected between Dec 2011 and Dec 2014 and classified according to biopsy and stage .Q-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of MTSS1 in normal cervical tissue and in different clinical stages of cervical cancer tissue .Results The expression of MTSS1 inⅡB-Ⅳstages of cervical cancer tissue was significantly higher than that of normal tissue or Ⅰ-ⅡA stages through q-PCR (P=0.000).Western blotting results showed that MTSS1 was positively expressed in normal cervical tissue at a rate of 23.3% or 53.3% in cervical cancer tissue.Moreover, the expression of MTSS1 was poorly correlated with age, tumor differentiation and lymphnode metastasis in cervical cancer tissue (P>0.05).The protein level of MTSS1 expressed in ⅡB-Ⅳ stages was significantly higher than that ofⅠ-ⅡA stages(P=0.005).Conclusion The expression of MTSS1 indicates the clinical stage of cervical cancer , suggesting that MTSS1 may play an important role in the development of cervical cancer .

Objective To investigate whether myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have a protective effect in septic mice. Methods The model of caecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was performed to induce polymicrobial sepsis in mice. The changes of MDSCs in spleens at different times after operation were studied. In order to observe the influence of MDSCs on the inflammatory factors and survival of septic mice, MDSCs were injected into the peritoneal cavities of mice after CLP. Results MDSCs accumulated in spleens of septic mice progressively. MDSCs could increase anti-inflammatory cytokine production, decrease the level of inflammatory factors, and improve the survival rate of mice with sepsis. Conclusion MDSCs can attenuate the inflammation and improve the survival rate of mice with sepsis, suggesting that intraperitoneal injection of MDSCs may provide a new direction for the treatment of sepsis.

Objective To study the inhibitory effect of recombinant human interferon α1b (IFN-α1b) on enterovirus 71 (EV71) in vitro and to investigate the antiviral mechanism of IFN-α1b.Methods The cytotoxity of IFN-α1b and the inhibition of IFN-α1b on cytopathic effect before and after EV71 infection were measured in rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell line.The in vitro inhibition of IFN-α1b on EV71 RNA and VP1 protein,and the protection of IFN-α1b on EV71 infected cells were also investigated.Then the EV71 invasion prevention of IFN-α1b induced transmembrane protein IFITM3 was evaluated.Results When treated 12h before or 1h after EV71 infection,IFN-α1b presented a IC50 258.53IU/ml and 2113.58IU/ml with SI>16497 and >3271,respectively,suggesting that IFN-α1b had obvious anti EV71 activity,and IFN-α1b treatment before EV71 infection was more effective.This study also showed that IFN-α1b significantly inhibited EV71 RNA replication and protein synthesis,and delayed the progeny virus release,which might prevent EV71 invasion by inducing IFITM3 expression.Conclusion IFN-α1b has anti EV71 activity and can act as an antiviral agent by influencing the viral life cycle including invasion,replication,assembly and release.
