Objective To evaluate the effect on postoperative urinary and sexual function of the radical operation with autonomic nerve preserving for mid low rectal cancer.[WT5”HZ]Method [WT5”BZ]Radical operation with autonomic nerve preserving was performed on 188 cases of rectal cancer. Nerves were fully preserved in 98 cases of Dukes A stage,one or both side nerves preserved in 78 cases of stage B, only S 3,4 nerve preserved in 12 cases of stage C.[WT5”HZ]Result [WT5”BZ]The postoperative voluntary micturition developed at 8 5 days for Dukes A; 9 0 days for stage B; and 16 8 days for stage C. Erection and ejaculation remained in Dukes A, in 96% and 100%;stage B, in 47 4% and 50%;stage C, in 0 and 0. The local recurrence after the operation accounted for 12 8%(24/188), among them Dukes A,B,C were 4 1%,21 9%, and 33 3% respectively.The 5 year survival rate were 77 6%,52 6% and 33 3% respectively.[WT5”HZ]Conclusion [WT5”BZ]The radical operation with autonomic nerve preserving for rectal cancer effects a better life quality not at the expense of local recurrence and reduction of 5 year survival rate.
2.A meta-analysis of proximal femoral nail antirotation and total hip arthroplasty for treating intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(4):602-607
BACKGROUND: Now, the current study has not yet confirmed two treatment methods of the proximal femoral nail antirotation and total hip arthroplasty for treating intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly, which method has more advantages, and there is no clear conclusion at present. OBJECTIVE: To systematical y compare the repair effect of proximal femoral nail antirotation and total hip arthroplasty for treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. METHODS: We searched the related literatures from 2011 to 2015 on Wanfang database, PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase database by computer. We retrieved the journals in China by hand and col ected randomized control ed trials on proximal femoral nail antirotation and total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. Intraoperative blood loss, operation time, hospitalization time, ambulation time after operation, and Harris score were selected as evaluation indexes. Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.2 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Final y, 7 Chinese literatures were included, with 811 patients. The results of meta analysis showed that the hospitalization time and ambulation time after operation were significantly shorter in the total hip arthroplasty group than in the proximal femoral nail antirotation group (P < 0.000 01), which reduced the pain of patients. Operation time and intraoperative blood loss were poorer in the total hip arthroplasty group than in the proximal femoral nail antirotation group (P < 0.000 01). No significant difference in Harris hip score was detected between the two groups (P > 0.05). These results confirmed that the internal fixation of proximal femoral nail antirotation in minimal y invasive therapy when reducing operation time and blood loss has a certain advantage. The total hip arthroplasty can make the recovery of hip function earlier, al ow early weight-bearing walking, reduce the patients’ bedridden time and reduce the complications in bed. Thus, the clinicians in the practical work should choose the appropriate therapy with considering the patient’s condition, damage degree, fracture type, and financial capability.

Background The special pathological change of diabetic retinopathy(DR)is microvascular disorder.Angiopoietin-like protein 2(Ang-2)is a new protein associated with genesis of blood vessels.Quercetin has multiple pharmacological action,including improving the microcircularion and the permeability of blood capillary.However,the action mechanism of Ang-2 on DR was unclear.Objective The present study was to investigate the effects of quercetin on Ang-2 and its receptor Tie2 expression in retina with diabetes mellitus.Methods Sixty clean male Wistar rats were randomized into 7 groups and 10 rats for each group,and 10 rats served as blank control group.Streptozotocin of 35 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in 60 rats to establish the diabetic models.Quercetins encapsulated by liposome with the doses of 50,150 and 250 mg/(kg · d)(3-5 ml)were used to gavage in different groups of models for 12 weeks,and normal saline solution and calcium dobesilate were used at the same fashion as the negative control group and positive control group,respectively.Twelve weeks later,the animals were sacrificed and retinas were isolated.Expressions of Ang-2 protein and Tie2 mRNA in retinas were detected by ELISA and RT-PCR,respectively.The usage and rearing of the animals complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Sciences and Technology Commission.Results ELISA showed that the A450 of Ang-2 in 150 and 250 mg/(kg · d)quercetin groups was 0.796±0.057 and 0.842±0.043 respectively and was lower than that negative group(1.012±0.046),showing statistically significant differences(q =2.95,2.698,P<0.05).RT-PCR assay showed that expression of Tie2 mRNA(Tie2 mRNA/GAPDH mRNA)in retinas was 0.712±0.092 and 0.821±0.087,presenting statistically significant differences in comparison with negative group(1.182±0.098)(q =3.497,2.852,P<0.05).The expression levels of Ang-2 and Tie2 mRNA in retina were lowest in 150 mg/(kg · d)quercetin group.Conclusions Quercetin can improve the retinal microcirculation by downregulating the expressions of Ang-2 and its receptor in early period of diabetic rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of mild hypothermia ( MH ) on the expression of my- eloperoxidase(MPO) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX 2) in rats after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (CIR). Methods Forty-eight Wistar rats were randomly divided into four control groups (n=6 in each) and four MH groups (n=6 in each).CIR models were established by suture occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery.The rats in the MH groups,but not in the control groups,were treated with MH.Rats were killed at 4 h,8 h,12 h and 16 h after CIR.MPO expression was measured,along with the expression of COX 2 as measured by Western blot- ting and immunohistochemical methods.Results Compared with the control groups,MPO activity and the COX 2 expression in the cortex and striatum were significantly lower in all the MH groups at 4 h,8 h,12 h and 16 h after CIR.Conclusion MH treatment can protect neurons by decreasing MPO activity and COX 2 expression,allevia- ting inflammation and reducing secondary injuries after CIR.

Objective To develop an efficient recombinant expression system of alanine aminotransferase ( ALT ) in order to build the foundation for the preparation of feedstock related ALT reference materials.Methods A new human ALT gene was synthesized by optimizing the codons of the nucleic acid sequence encoding human ALT using bioinformatic tools, and then it was cloned into pRSF-Duet expression vector.The recombinant plasmid pRSF-Duet-ALT was transformed into E.coli BL21 and the target protein expression was induced by 2 mmol/L isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside ( IPTG ) .The expression condition for soluble protein was optimized by changing the inducer concentration, shaking speed and induction temperature. The soluble protein was purified by nickel ion affinity chromatography and dextran molecular sieve chromatography, and identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis( SDS-PAGE) and Western blot analysis.The activity and stability of recombinant proteins in serum matrix under different storage conditions were detected.Results The usage frequency in E.coli of ALT codons was more than 10%after codon optimization.The expressions of soluble proteins were increased by optimizing the induced expression conditions, including a final concentration of 2 mmol/L of IPTG, and continued incubation with shaking at 150 rpm for 8 h at 25℃.The purified protein was identified as ALT by SDS-PAGE and Western blot with ALT activities of up to 80 000 U/L.Recombinant ALT could be stable for 2-8 d at 2-8 ℃or 25 ℃with a relative standard deviation of less than 5%.Conclusions An efficient recombinant expression system of ALT was developed successfully by codons optimization.The obtained recombinant protein could achieve the requirements of reference material feedstock.
