Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(2):179-183
Objectives To investigate the effect of rhEPO on newborn rats with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Meth-ods Sixty newborn Sprague-Dewley (SD) rats at the age of 48 hours were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group, NEC group, and intervention groups 1, 2 and 3 treated with rhEPO. The rats were fed rat breast milk substitutes and stressed under hypoxia and cold exposure to establish NEC model. The rats with NEC were treated with different doses of rhEPO (0.1U/ml, 1U/ml and 10U/ml) in intervention groups. The expression of Bcl-2 and caspase-3 were measured by immunohistochemistry, and intestinal pathological changes were observed using HE staining. The value of positive expression was analyzed by IOD (integral optical density) image analysis system. Results Abdominal distention, decreased activity and unresponsiveness occurred in NEC rats 24 hours after stress exposure, and pale skin, decreased skin temperature and respiratory rhythm change were observed in severe cases. The symptoms appeared later and milder in three intervention groups. The NEC incidence of newborn rats was as followings:control group(0%), model group(60%), intervention group 1( 30%), intervention group 2(18.2%), intervention group 3(9.1%) and the difference was signiifcant between each group (P=0.008). The grades of intestinal injury, the expression of active caspase-3 and Bcl-2 were signiifcantly different among groups (P<0.01). Intestinal injury was the most severe and the expression level of active caspase-3 was the highest in NEC group. After rhEPO treatment, the intestinal injury and the production of active caspase-3 protein were decreased, and the expression of Bcl-2 was increased. Conclusions Oral rhEPO could decrease the ex-pression of intestinal active caspase 3, and increase the expression of Bcl-2. The protective effect of rhEPO on NEC is dosede-pendent.

Lipid droplets are the main storage organelles for intracellular neutral lipids. Many recent studies have found that lipid droplets are closely related to hepatitis C virus (HCV). Lipid droplets play important roles in the multiple processes of HCV life cycle, such as infection, replication, assembly, and secretion. In this review, we summarize the recent research progress in the roles of lipid droplets in HCV life cycle.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)has high incidence rate,recurrence rate after surgecal treat-ment,as well as fatality rate in China .HCC is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy and no effective treat-ment is available for HCC patients at advanced stage .Sorafenib is the first effective molecularly targeted drug for the treatment of HCC,which represents a milestone in the treatment of HCC .However,it also shows drug resist-ance during clinical application .Therefore,it is important to investigate the mechanism of drug resistance and its molecular markers for HCC .In this review ,we summarize the current status of the studies in these fields .

With the increasing perfection and improvement of microsurgery technique in modern ophthalmology, especially the popularization of micro-incision cataract extraction and the rise of femtosecond-laser-assisted cataract extraction, the cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation is gradually transformed from vision rehabilitation surgery into refractive surgery and people also pursue better postoperative visual experiences. However, the preoperative and postoperative corneal astigmatism is always the main factor affecting the postoperative visual effect. ln recent years, the development of design and materials of the intraocular lens ( lOL) provided necessary basic conditions for clinical application of the Toric lOL. The Toric lOL is primarily characterized by effective correction of cataract patients′postoperative corneal astigmatism, which results in the enhancement of patients′postoperative visual function. ln this paper, the design, classification and clinical application of Toric lOL were analyzed, and current problems and prospect were discussed.

BACKGROUND: Caveolin-1, as the most important functional protein in caveolae, is involoved in a variety of cell biological processes, and is closely related to the occurrence and development of breast cancer. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of caveolin-1 on epidermal growth factor (EGF) in fibroblasts after co-cultured with breast cancer cells.METHODS: Caveolin-1 expression in fibroblast lines ESF-1 was interfered with siRNA, and the optimal effect was determined through QRT-PCR and western blot assay. (1) The optimal silencing model of ESF-1-Caveolin-1 SiRNA-N.2 was obtained, which was co-cultured with breast cancer cells BT474 as experimental group, single-cultured ESF-1 and ESF-1-Caveolin-1 SiRNA-N.2 as controls. The expression level of EGF in ESF-1 was detected by QRT-PCR at 24 and 48 hours of culture; the expression level of EGF in the culture medium was detected by ELISA at 48 and 72 hours of culture. (2) ESF-1-Caveolin-1 SiRNA-N.2 (experimental group) and ESF-1 (control group) were respectively co-cultured with BT474, and single-cultured BT474 as blank control group. The proliferation of BT474 was detected by cell counting-kit 8 assay after 24- and 48-hour culture.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The mRNA expression level of EGF in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups (P < 0.05), and the EGF expression level in the ESF-1-Caveolin-1 SiRNA-N.2 group was significantly higher than that in the ESF-1 group (P < 0.05). The protein expression level of EGF was ranked as follows: experimental group > ESF-1-Caveolin-1 SiRNA-N.2 group > ESF-1 group (P < 0.05). The proliferation of BT474 cells was significantly increased after co-cultured with BT474 cells and ESF-1 siRNA Caveolin-1 cells, especially with BT474 cells (P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that Caveolin-1 siRNA can promote the expression of EGF in fibroblasts, especially co-cultured with breast cancer cells. Furthermore, caveolin-1 siRNA accelerates the proliferation of breast cancer cells after co-cultured with fibroblasts.
