Objective To evaluate the ischemic postconditioning on endoplasmic reticulum stress during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Ninety adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 350-450 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),I/R group,and ischemic postconditioning group (group P).Focal cerebral I/R was induced by electrocoagulation of left middle cerebral artery and 30 min occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries followed by reperfusion.In group P,bilateral common carotid arteries were subjected to 3 cycles of 30 s reperfusion and 10 s ischemia at the beginning of reperfusion.At 24 h of reperfusion,neurological deficit was scored,and cerebral infarct size was detected by TTC staining.At 6,12 and 24 h of reperfusion,the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78),C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 in the ischemic area were measured (using immunohistochemistry).The neuronal apoptosis in the ischemic area was detected by TUNEL.Results Compared with S group,the neurological deficit score was significantly increased,cerebral infarct size was enlarged,the neuronal apoptosis was increased,and the expression of GRP78,CHOP and caspase-12 was up-regulated in I/R and P groups.The neurological deficit score was significantly lower,cerebral infarct size was smaller,the expression of GRP78 was higher at 12 and 24 h of reperfusion,the neuronal apoptosis was lower at 24 h of reperfusion,and the expression of CHOP and caspase-12 was lower in group P than in group I/R.Concluion Ischemic postconditioning can inhibit neuronal apoptosis mediated by endoplasmic reticulum stress during cerebral I/R,which dose not play a leading role in cerebral protection in rats.

Objective To invesgate the influence of aceclofenac to cartilage cell proliferation and substrate metabolism in osteoarthritis.Methods Select 65 cases of patients with osteoarthritis who were treated in Department of Rheumatism and Hematology of Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University from September 2011 to September 2013.Patients were divided into observation group(n=35)and control group(n=30).The observation group were treated with aceclofenac,while control group were treated with ibuprofen,Compare the efficacy of patients in two group.Compare human articular cartilage cells of 5-bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU)positive rate,the content of glycogen protein(PG)and collagen type Ⅱ in two groups. Results The effective rate of observation group and control group was 74.29%and 73.33% respectively.There was significant difference between the two groups. Compared with control group,the joints pain,joints tenderness,15 meters walking time,daily activity ability(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions of observation group(1 1.43%)was significantly lower than that of control group(P<0.05 ).The difference of BrdU positive rate in two groups had no statistical significance. Ⅱ type collagen content of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (P <0.05 ).PG of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The efficacy of aceclofenac is good and the incidence of adverse reactions is low in treatment of osteoarthritis.Aceclofenac can alleviate clinical symptoms of patients by increasing collagen type Ⅱ and decreasing PG.

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is morphologically similar to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma.For most PMBCL patients, chemotherapy plus consolidation radiotherapy showed that the latter could improve PMBCL responsiveness and progression-free survival (PFS), and its combined use with chemotherapy demonstrated higher therapeutic efficacy.Recent clinical studies suggested that rituximab and anthracycline chemotherapy regimens could increase PMBCL treatment efficacy, reduce early treatment failure, enhance PFS and overall survival, and improve prognosis.Although rituximab combined with some high-intensity chemotherapy without radiotherapy have achieved good results, many studies still support the use of post-immunochemotherapy consolidation mediastinal radiotherapy.Based on the results of a few studies with a small sample size, patients who were assessed as complete metabolic remission by PET following high-intensity immunochemotherapy may omit consolidation radiotherapy.However, these results will need to be further confirmed by large-sample multicenter clinical trials.Consolidation radiotherapy is recommended for patients with poor prognostic factors or PET score>3.

Radiation?induced heart disease ( RIHD) is a common type of radiation?induced damages in chest radiotherapy. There are no obvious short?term symptoms in patients with RIHD. However, RIHD causes irreversible permanent damages to the heart over time, which undermines the quality of life. Patients with severe RIHD even have a risk of death from myocardial infarction caused by coronary atherosclerosis. This paper summarizes the research advances in epidemiology, diagnosis, mechanisms of radiation?induced injury in various parts of the heart, radiotherapy techniques, and treatment. Reduction in radiation range and dose, early diagnosis, and early treatment are recommended for patients to reduce heart injury and improve the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the effects of remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPoC) on global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods One hundred and twenty-eight male adult SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =32 each):sham operation group (group S),group I/R,group I/R + RIPoC and remote I/R group (group RI/R ).Global cerebral I/R was induced by four-vessel occlusion.Group I/R + RIPoC received 3 cycles of 15 min reperfusion followed by 15 min ischemia in bilateral femoral arteries at the beginning of cerebral reperfusion.The rats were sacrificed at 24 and 48 h of cerebral reperfusion,and brains were removed for determination of neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL method) in hippocampal CA1 region and the parietal cortex,Bcl-2 and Bax expression (by Western blot) in hippocampal CA1 region.The superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in hippocampal CA1 region and the parietal cortex were also measured at 48 h of cerebral reperfusion.Morris water maze task was used to test the learning and memory function at 4 d of cerebral reperfusion,and the rats were sacrificed at 7 d of cerebral reperfusion,and brains were removed for determination of neuronal density in hippocampal CAl region and the parietal cortex.Results Cerebral I/R significantly increased the number of apoptotic neurons and MDA content,upregulated Bcl-2 and Bax expression,decreased neuronal density,SOD and CAT activity and learning and memory function in group I/R as compared with group S.RIPoC significantly attenuated these cerebral I/R-induced changes.Conclusion RIPoC could protect brain against global cerebral I/R-induced injury,and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting lipid peroxidation,regulating the balance between Bcl-2 and Bax and inhibiting apoptosis.

Objective To observe myocardial tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats after exposure to X-ray irradiation.Methods Twelve male rats were randomly divided into control group and radiation group.The rat model of radiation-induced heart disease was established in the radiation group by precordial irradiation with 20.0 Gy of 6 MV X-ray in a single fraction.At 14 days after model establishment,the Langendorff perfusion technique was performed in the two groups and the cardiac parameters including left ventricular developing pressure (LVDP),left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP),maximal rate of left ventricular pressure rise/fall (+/-LVdp/dtmax),and coronary flow (CF)were recorded.Myocardial infarct size after I/R was compared between the two groups by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining.Results After 30 minutes of ischemia and 60 minutes of reperfusion,the irradiation group had a significantly slower CF than the control group (5.64±0.35 vs.8.38±0.52 ml/min,P=0.002).Moreover,the irradiation group had substantially poorer recovery of cardiac function in isolated hearts compared with the control group,as shown by a significantly reduced LVDP (25.4±2.31 vs.52.76±2.76 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa),P=0.000),significantly reduced+/-LVdp/dtmax(547.04±78.74 vs.1 100.05±83.35 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)/s,P=0.001;-408.81±56.74 vs-813.62±73.82mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa)/s,P=0.002),and a significantly increased LVEDP (85.29±4.61 vs.65.65±3.65 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa),P=0.012).X-ray irradiation induced a significantly increased percentage of myocardial infarct size in rats (44.67％±0.95％ vs.30.46％±0.96％,P=0.000).Conclusions X-ray irradiation can induce coronary injury,reduce myocardial tolerance to I/R injury,and increase myocardial infarct size after I/R in rats.

VP1 gene encoded by the newly identified caprine enterovirus CEV-JL 14 was amplified and cloned to prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-1.Recombinant GST-VP1 fusion protein was expressed,purified,emulsified with Freund's complete adjuvant and used to immunize the BALB/c mice following a standard procedure.The spleen cells from immunized mice were collected and fused with myeloma cells after its antibody titer reached over 104 times detected by indirect ELISA.Hybridoma cell clones secreting monoclonal antibodies against VP1 were screened and their stability and specificity were further determined.The identified hybridoma cells were injected to mice intraperitoneally and ascites were collected at 7 DPI.Isotypes of the monoclonal antibodies against the recombinant VP1 protein were characterized to be either IgG1 or IgG2b,which showed a high specificity for detection of caprine enterovirus antigens by immunoperoxidase monolayer assay,thus laying a solid basis for future study related to viral pathogenesis,detection and diagnostics for caprine enterovirus infection.

Objective To provide experimental materials for exploring the function of breast cancer susceptibility gene 2(BRCA2) gene by establishing of an mouse immortalized mammary gland epithelial cell line as a cell model system.Methods In this study,the primary mouse mammary epithelial cells were isolated and purified by enzyme digestion and differential centrifugation.The resulting primary mouse mammary gland epithelial cells were transducted with lentivirus expressing human telomerase (hTERT) gene,and screened by hygromycin B.The surviving epithelial cells were further characterized by morphology observations and cytokeratin marker detection.Results Immortalized mouse mammary epithelial cells were obtained by infection of MMECs with lentivirus expressing human telomerase(hTERT) gene,screened by hygromycin B.Morphology observations and detection of the cytokeratin marker showed the immortalized MMECs had a typical morphology of luminal epithelial cells with strong expression of cytokeratin 14.Conclusion An immortalized mouse luminal epithelial cell line is successfully established with an uniform morphology,which provides a cell model system for the future exploration on BRCA2-related tumorigenesis.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combined treatment with an optimized intense pulsed light (IPL) and a non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) for facial rejuvenation.Methods A prospective,split-face,randomized,controlled study was conducted.A total of 22 testees with facial photoaging,who aged from 35 to 55 years,were enrolled into this study from the Department of Dermatology of Peking University First Hospital between March and June in 2017.By a random number table,the two sides of each testee's face were randomized to receive combined treatment with optimized IPL immediately followed by non-ablative 1 565 nm Erbium:Glass fractional laser (combined treatment group) or non-ablative 1 565 nm Erbium:Glass fractional laser alone (NAFL group) once every month for 3 sessions.Before the treatment,60 and 90 days after the treatment (1 month after the second and third treatment respectively),photos of the treatment regions were taken,skin physiology parameters (including skin melanin,erythema indices,water content of the stratum corneum,transepidermal water loss [TEWL],skin flexibility and glossiness) were measured,and subjective and objective clinical evaluation was carried out.After each treatment,adverse reactions were assessed by two dermatologists independently,including facial erythema,swelling and crusting,desquamation,pigmentation and pains.Results During the treatment course,1 testee dropped out due to pains,another 1 testee dropped out for personal reasons,and 20 testees completed the treatment and follow-up.The combined treatment group showed significantly decreased melanin indices on days 60 and 90 (152.9 ± 36.9 and 155.0 ± 38.1,respectively) compared with that before the treatment (168.4 ± 41.3,F =5.321,P ＜ 0.05).On day 60,the melanin index was significantly lower in the combined treatment group than in the NAFL group (159.4 ± 35.3,P ＜ 0.05).However,the melanin indices on days 60 and 90 in the NAFL group (159.4 ± 35.3,156.7 ± 36.3) did not significantly differ from that before the treatment (165.9 ± 35.4,P ＞ 0.05).No significant difference was observed between the pre-and post-treatment erythema indices in either of the two groups (both P ＞ 0.05).The water content of the stratum corneum on days 60 and 90 significantly increased compared with that before the treatment in both the combined treatment group (F =21.795,P ＜ 0.001) and NAFL group (F =21.798,P ＜ 0.001),while the TEWL on days 60 and 90 significantly decreased compared with that before the treatment in both the combined treatment group (F =8.848,P =0.001) and NAFL group (F =5.833,P ＜ 0.05).However,there were no significant differences in either of the water content of the stratum corneum or TEWL on days 60 and 90 between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).On days 60 and 90,the combined treatment group and NAFL group both showed significantly increased skin flexibility (P＜ 0.05,0.001,respectively) and glossiness (both P ＜ 0.001) compared with those before the treatment.On day 90,the skin glossiness in the combined treatment group was higher than that in the NAFL group (P ＜ 0.05).The short-term adverse reactions included transient pain,erythema and swelling which lasted 2-3 days,and slight desquamation.The main adverse reaction was mild local pigmentation,which lasted 2-3 months and then subsided gradually.Conclusion The 3 sessions of treatment with an optimized IPL immediately followed by a 1 565 nm NAFL is clinically superior to those with the NAFL alone for improving the facial pigmentation and skin glossiness,and the adverse reactions are usually transient and mild.
