Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of NF-κB and Pglycoprotein(P-gp) in cervical cancer tissue before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT). Methods The mRNA and the protein expression levels of NF-κB and P-gp were determined by Real time-PCR and immunohistochemical assay respectively in cancer specimens from 40 cevical cancer patients, which were collected before and after NACT. Results The mRNA expression levels of NF-κB were 50. 340 ± 0. 780 and 67. 595 ± 0. 914 before and after NACT respectively, which showed significant difference statistically ( t = -73. 384 ,P ＜ 0. 01 ). We also found significant difference in the comparison between MDR1 mRNA expression before and after NACT(45. 800 ±0. 636 vs 62. 381 ±0. 743 ,t = -66. 582,P ＜0. 01 ). The positive rate of NF-κB protein expression before and after NACT were 50% ( 20/40 ), 80% ( 32/40 ) respectively, which showed significant difference statistically( χ2 = 7. 912, P = 0. 005 ). The positive rate of P-gp protein expression after NACT was significantly higher than that before NACT [ 40% ( 16/40 ) vs 70% ( 28/40 ), χ2 = 7. 273, P = 0. 007 ]The mRNA and protein expressions of NF-κB were positively correlated with those of P-gp before and after NACT( r = 0. 408,r = 0. 327 respectively, Ps ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion NF-κB and P-gp may play an important role in multi-drug resistance of cervical carcinoma. Chemotherapy drugs in our NACT strategy may induce the activation of NF-κB and multi-drug resistance. Activation of NF-κB may correlate with multi-drug resistance mediated by P-gp.

Mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) is one of the four biggest signal transduction systems which contain four subtribes named p38,ERK5/BMK1,ERK and JNK/SAPKrespectively.Previous studies have shown that MAPK pathway is involved in growth,cell differentiation,perishing,the synchronization of cell function and so on.p38MAPK,one of the members of MAPK family,plays an important role in the activation of inflammation-related cells to release inflammation mediator,modulating enzyme production as well as transferring factors activity in the process of chronic bronchitis(CB).This review focuses on multiple roles of p38MAPK in the pathogenesis and progression of CB.

Objective To investigate the correlation between PaCO2 and cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral metabolism of oxygen (CMRO2), glucose (CMRglu) and lactate (CMRlact) and intracranial pressure during intracranial surgery. Methods Twenty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients (6 male, 6 female), aged between 26-54yr, weighing (65 ? 11) kg scheduled for elective intracranial surgery were studied. The patients were unpremedicated. Before general anesthesia radial artery was cannulated and a catheter was inserted into internal jugular vein and advanced cranially until jugular bulb. Lumber puncture was performed at L3-4 and a catheter was inserted into subarachnoid space for 3 cm, for pressure monitoring and CSF sampling. Anesthesia was induced with diazepam 10mg, fentanyl 3-4?g?kg-1, propofol 2mg?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.08mg?kg-1 iv. The patients were mechanically ventilated with a mixture of oxygen and argon (O2 : argon = 3 : 1) after tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium. Arterial and cerebral venous blood gases, glucose and lactate levels, CBF, ICP and CSF level of lactate were determined before anesthesia when patients were awake(Ⅰ) and during anesthesia when PETCO2 = 40, 30, 20 mm Hg (Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ). CBF was measured by modified Kety-Schmidt inert gas saturation technique with argon. CMRO2 and CMRglu were calculated based on the difference in their arterial -cerebral venous blood levels. Results At PETCO2 20mm Hg (Ⅳ) CBF decreased by 57.75% and CMRO2 by 58.70% as compared with the baseline; CMRglu decreased by 46.93% as compared with the baseline. There was no significant change in lactate level, jugular venous blood O2 saturation and pH. ICP decreased from (22.14 ? 7.88)mm Hg( Ⅰ) to (17.57?5.03)mm Hg( Ⅱ ),(13.43?4.89)mm Hg(Ⅲ) and (10.00? 2.31)mm Hg(Ⅳ) and the differences were significant. All measurements were done when MAP and HR were stable. PET CO2 was (10? 2) mm Hg lower than PaCO2 . Conclusions Cerebral blood flow, cerebral oxygen and glucose metabolism and intracranial pressure change with changes in PET CO2 . Cerebral vascular reactivity to CO2 is not impaired by 1.3 MAC sevoflurane. Mild hypocapnia is necessary during neurosurgery.

Background and purpose:Endometrial carcinoma is a common malignant tumour in women and expresses COX-2,CDK4;the expressions are associated with the development of the tumour. Mifepristone can inhibit the growth of the tumours, but its mechanisms are not very clear, We investigated the inhibitory effect of antiprogestins mifepristone n the growth of human endometrial carcinoma cell line HHUA xenografted in nude mice of and the expressions of COX-2,CDK4,the purpose was to find out whether or not mifepristone could influence the expressions of COX-2,CDK4. Methods:Human endometrial carcinoma HHUA cells were cultured in vitro.The models of xenografted tumor were established by the transplantation of human endometrial carcinoma HHUA cell on nude mice. The nude mice were randomly divided into two groups to receive either refined peanut oil (control group), or daily mifepristone for six weeks, respectively . The sizes of xenograft were measured in the pre-and post-treatment. The changes of morphology were observed by glass microscopy. The positive immunostaining for COX-2 and CDK4 were evaluated semiquantitatively by using an immunohistochemical scoring system (HSCORE) that it incorporated both the intensity and the distribution of specific staining.Results:After 6 weeks of treatment , the size of the xenografts in MIF group were 115.25?10.97 mm 3 ,compared with 313.25?43.92 mm 3 in the control group (P

Objective To determine the involvement of DNA demethylation in tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)-induced matrix metalloproteinase 9 ( MMP9) expression in human epidermal keratinocytes. Methods Real-time RT-PCR, Western blot, and enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to determine the mRNA and protein levels of MMP9 after human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) cells were treated with 10 ng/ ml TNF-α or 2. 5 μmol/ L DAC/ 300 nmol/ L TSA. Bisulfite sequencing PCR ( BSP) and Methylation-sensitive high-resolution melt analysis ( Ms-HRM) were used to detect significantly differentially demethylated CpG sites in the human MMP9 promoter region in cells exposed to TNF-α. Different sites methylation constructs of promoter-luciferase reporter gene were made to detect the influences of site-specific DNA demethylation on transcription activity of MMP9 promoter. Results Compared with PBS-treated control, TNF-α significantly increased the expression of MMP9 in HaCaT cells for indicated culture duration ( P < 0. 05 ). Real time PCR, Western blot, and ELISA analysis demonstrated that the mRNA and protein levels of MMP9 were increased initially, followed by a decline with prolonged incubation time. After TNF-α treatment, varied degrees of DNA demethylation occurred at 10 CpG sites in the promoter of MMP9, and the changes at the -36 bp site were statistically significant (P<0. 05). The demethylation at the -36 bp site greatly increased the transcription activity of MMP9. Conclusion TNF-α promotes MMP9 expression in HaCaT cells through inducing -36 bp site DNA demethylation on the promoter of MMP9.

AIM:To evaluate the clinical effects of femto-LASIK using new Ziemer LDV Z6 femtosecond laser machine (Z6).
METHODS: Two - hundred cases ( 400 eyes ) was randomly separated into two groups: Group A included 200 eyes which corneal flaps were made by Z6, and Group B included rest of 200 eyes which corneal flaps were examined by a traditional Ziemer LDV CrystalLine femtosecond laser machine (CrystalLine). Visual acuity, slit lamp, refraction, Sim-K average, intraocular pressure (IOP), non-invasive tear break-up time (NIAvg-BUT), operation difficulty and complications were compared between two groups preoperatively and postoperatively.RESULTS:There was no significant differences between two groups in visual acuity, refraction, Sim-K average, IOP and NIAvg - BUT either preoperatively or 6mo postoperatively (P>0. 05). Although there were significant differences in operation difficulty and complications were found between two groups ( P< 0. 05 ), there was no serious complication in any group. Furthermore, a clear demarcation line could be observed in the cornea of Group A postoperatively.
CONCLUSION:More careful and strict requirements are needed when using the new Z6 femtosecond laser for corneal flaps.

The global incidence rate of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) continues to rise. The pathogenesis of NASH is complex, and there is no effective clinical treatment. Previous study has shown that DEAD box protein 5 (DDX5) can significantly alleviate the NASH process in mice. This study screened the natural product library of the research group and found that the active compound hypercalin B (HB) in Hypericum beanii N. Robson, a traditional Chinese medicine, can upregulate the expression of DDX5 protein in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, an in vitro model of NASH stimulated by palmitic acid (PA) and an animal model of NASH induced by the methionine- and choline-deficient diet (MCD) were constructed. Different concentrations of HB were used to investigate the effect and mechanism of HB in alleviating NASH progression. All animal experiments in this paper were approved by the Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University (NO: 2021-02-003). In vitro model results showed that HB significantly reduced the intracellular lipid deposition induced by free fatty acid (FFA). Animal experiments showed that HB improved liver injury by significantly reducing lipid accumulation in the liver of NASH mice, and reducing serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels. Moreover, HB could inhibit liver inflammation by reducing the mRNA levels of liver pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Further research showed that HB could reduce the phosphorylation level of the mechanical target of rapamycin (mTOR) and reduce the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) and fatty acid synthase (FASN), thereby improving lipid metabolism and alleviating NASH progression, and the effects of HB against NASH were dependent on DDX5. In conclusion, HB can improve lipid metabolism and inhibit inflammatory activation by suppressing mTORC1 pathway via upregulating DDX5 protein, and showed promising anti-NASH activity in vitro and in vivo.

Objective To investigate the effects of antioxidant response element (ARE) activator- 5,6-dihydrocyclopenta[ C ]-1,2-dithiole-3-thione (CPDT) on organotypic spinal cord cultures and to study whether this activation can protect motor neurons from oxidative stress.Methods Organotypic spinal cord cultures were prepared using lumbar spinal cord slices from 8-day-old rat.Threo-hydroxyaspartate (THA) was continuously added into the culture medium for 3 weeks,which caused selective motor neuron death. Thus,the in vitro model of amyotrophic Lateral sclerosis (ALS) was established.15,30 ?mol/L of CPDT were added into the culture medium respectively.Ventral motor neurons survival was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal antibody SMI-32,a nonphosphorylated neurofilament marker.
