Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of alcohol on the synthesis of testosterone and the expression of androgen binding protein(ABP)mRNA in rat testis.Methods Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups(10 rats each group)and received either distilled water(control group)or alcohol(alcohol-fed groups)for 5 months.Alcohol was administered by garage with a single daily dose : 5 g/kg(large dose group),2.5 g/kg(middle dose group)and 0.5 g/kg(small dose group).Testosterone content was measured by ELISA.mRNA levels of peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptors(PBR),PPARct and ABP were assayed by RT-PCR.Results Compared with control group:(1)ethanol feeding with daily doses of 5 g/kg,2.5 g/kg and 0.5 g/kg significantly decreased testosterone levels by 31.13%(P0.05)respectively,indicating that ethanol might impair testosterone synthesis;(2) mRNA levels of PBR were decreased in all three ethanol-treated groups(all P

Background Previous studies showed that after herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection of the cornea,matrix metallo proteinase-2 (MMP-2) (produced by corneal cells and corneal epithelial cells) plays an important role in the development of HSK.Focal adhesion kinase (FAK)plays an important role on the expression,release and activation of MMPs.This study explored the expressions of MMP-2 and FAK,which induced by HSV-1 infected human corneal epithelial cells.Objective To investigate MMP-2 and FAK expression in HSV-1 infected human corneal epithelial cells.Methods Human corneal epithelial cells were infected with HSV-1 in vitro to establish cell model of viral infection.The expression of MMP-2 and FAK were detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR),Western blot,immunohistochemical method and immunofluorescence method at 2 hours,20 hours and 40 hours after infection.Results At 2 hours,20 hours and 40 hours after infection,the expressionis of MMP-2 mRNA and FAK mRNA were significantly increased in comparison with uninfected cells (MMP-2 mRNA:Ftime =0.968,P=0.436 ; Fgroup =47.649,P =0.000 ; Fi ion =0.757,P =0.536.FAK mRNA:Ftime =0.658,P =0.631 ; Fgroup =35.182,P=0.000;Finteraction =1.386,P=0.137).Western blot assays showed that there were no significant differences in p-FAK,FAK or MMP-2 expressions between infected cells and control cells after 2 hours (P＞0.05),but the expression levels of infected cells were significantly increased at 20 hours and 40 hours (both at P ＜ 0.05).Immunohistochemistry results showed that longer infection time was associated with an increased number of cells staining for MMP-2,FAK and p-FAK.Conclusions At the initial stage of HSV-1 infected,p-FAK plays an important role in the process of virus invading and MMP-2 activation.

Objective:To investigate the incidence trends and clinicopathologic characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducting using the following data:3,766 cases with thyroid disease in the People's Hospital of Wuhan University between January 2001 and July 2013;and 977 cases with thyroid cancer in the Hubei Cancer Hospital between Janu-ary 2006 and July 2013. Results:The incidence of thyroid cancer increased significantly since 2008, ranging from 14.94%to 18.10%(P<0.05). In particular, the PTC cases ranged from 85.33%to 90.89%(P<0.05). A total of 1,416 cases were diagnosed as PTC with a male to female ratio of 1:3.75. The positive rate of neck lymph node metastasis (NLNM) was significantly different in terms of gender and age (P<0.05). Significant differences were also found between the unifocal group and the multifocal group;the positive rate of NL-NM was 77.94%in the latter group. The rate of NLNM in PTC was 72.29%, which had higher significance compared with Hashimoto's thyroiditis or with nodular goiter. Conclusion: The incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing. Cases involving males aged below 45 years old and with>1 cm tumor diameter and multifocal PTC are more likely to be complicated with NLNM.

Objective To observe the efficacy and adverse reactions of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with or without chemotherapy in the treatment of esophageal carcinoma,and to explore the influencing factors for prognosis.Methods The short-term outcomes and acute adverse reactions in 349 patients with esophageal carcinoma who received IMRT with or without chemotherapy from 2006 to 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The 1-,3-,and 5-year local control (LC) rates and overall survival (OS) rates were calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method.The influencing factors for survival were analyzed using the Cox regression model.Results The sample sizes at 3 and 5 years were 174 and 63,respectively.For all patients,the 1-,3-,and 5-year LC rates were 72.9％,61.2％,and 58.4％,respectively,and the 1-,3-,and 5-year OS rates were 66.5％,39.1％,and 24％,respectively.According to the results of subgroup analysis,the 1-,3-,and 5-year LC and OS rates in patients with a tumor volume of ＜ 54.73 cm3 were significantly higher than those in patients with a tumor size of ≥54.73 cm3 (P =0.001 and 0.000).There were no significant differences in 1-,3-,and 5-year LC rates between patients with and without lymph node metastasis (P =?).However,the 1-,3-,and 5-year OS rates were significantly lower in patients with lymph node metastasis than in patients without lymph node metastasis (62.7％ vs.83.1％;35.9％ vs.53.3％;20.4％ vs.38.3％;P =0.003).There were significant differences in the 1-,3-,and 5-year LC and OS rates between patients with complete response,partial response,and no response (P =0.000 and 0.000).The incidence rates of grade ≥ 2 acute radiation pneumonitis and grade ≥ 3 acute radiation esophagitis were 11.3％ and 9.0％,respectively.The tumor volume,short-term outcome,and lymph node metastasis were the influencing factors for OS (P =0.038,0.000,and 0.008).Conclusions IMRT with or without chemotherapy is effective and safe in the treatment of esophageal carcinoma.The prognosis becomes poor along with increased tumor volume and regional lymph node metastasis.The evaluation of short-term outcomes is closely correlated with LC and OS.

Objective To preliminarily discuss the efficacy and safety of balloon protection technique in venous sinus in the embolization of lateral sinus dural arteriovenous fistula.Methods FromDecember 2012 to August 2016,7 consecutive patients with lateral sinus dural arteriovenous fistula embolized with Onyx under the protection of venous sinus balloon were enrolled retrospectively. Their clinical data,imaging data,and follow-up results were analyzed.Results In 7 patients,the fistulas of 3 cases were located in the sigmoid sinus and the fistulas of 4 cases were located in the transverse sinus. Immediately after operation, 5 patients were embolized completely and 2 were embolized mostly. All balloon protected venous sinuses maintained patency. Seven patients were followed up clinically and the follow-up time was 6-43 months. No new neurological deficits were observed. All 7 patients received whole DSA reexamination and the follow-up time was 6-11 months. It is suggested that 5 patients were completely cured,among them,the venous sinuses were patent in 4 cases,the venous sinus was occluded in 1 case;the fistula was stable and venous sinus patency in 1 case;and 1 had newly complicated venous sinus occlusion.Conclusion At the same time of embolization of the fistulas,the dural arteriovenous fistulas were embolized under the protection of venous sinus balloon. It could maintain long-term patency of venous sinus and be conductive to maintaining the stability of the embolization effect.

Objective To investigate the pathological manifestations of acute?stage radioactive myocardial damage and related mechanisms using an experimental animal model. Methods A total of 12 adult male Sprague?Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group and radiation group. In the radiation group, the model of radiation?induced myocardial damage was established by the irradiation of the anterior myocardial territory with 6?MV X?ray at a single dose of 20 Gy, and at 14 days after irradiation, HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of cardiomyocytes and intercellular matrix, and Masson staining was used to observe the distribution of collagen fibers. The collagen volume fraction ( CVF) was used for semi?quantitative analysis. ELISA was used to measure the activity of total superoxide dismutase ( T?SOD) and the concentration of malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , and Western blot was used to measure the expression of the fibrosis marker protein collagen type I ( COL?1 ) and the endoplasmic reticulum stress?related proteins GRP78 and CHOP. The t?test, t ’?test, or nonparametric rank sum test was used for comparison between groups. Results At 14 days after local irradiation of the heart, the radiation group had disordered arrangement of cardiomyocytes, marked edema, rupture of some cardiomyocytes, mild karyopyknosis in cardiomyocytes, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the myocardial interstitium, compared with the control group. Collagen fibers in the myocardial tissue were mainly distributed in the perivascular area and cardiomyocyte interstitium. The radiation group had a significantly higher CVF than the control group ( 11?35% vs. 5?23%, P=0?000 ) and a significant increase in the expression of COL?1 compared with the control group ( P=0?000) . The radiation group had significant increases in the activity of T?SOD and the concentration of MDA in the myocardial tissue compared with the control group ( T?SOD:156?61 U/mgprot vs. 137?06 U/mgprot, P= 0?042;MDA:2?36 nmol/mgprot vs. 1?31 U/mgprot, P=0?007) . Compared with the control group, the radiation group showed significant increases in the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress?related proteins GRP 7 8 and CHOP ( P= 0?037 and 0?009 ) . Conclusions The pathological manifestations of acute?stage myocardial damage include degeneration of cardiomyocytes, inflammatory exudation in the interstitium, and deposition of collagen in the perivascular area and myocardial interstitium. Myocardial fibrosis can be observed in the acute stage of radiation?induced myocardial damage, and the mechanism may be related to oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by radioactive rays.

Objective To evaluate the expressions and its clinical significance of Foxj2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.Methods Fifty cancer tissues from patients who underwentsurgery were collected.Western blot and immunohisto-chemical methods were used to detect the expressions of Foxj2.Results Results of western blot showed that Foxj2 expres-sion in lung cancer tissue was significantly lower than adjacent tissues.The difference between the two groups was statisti-cally significant(P<0.05).Immunohistoehemical results showed that the number of Foxj2-positive cells in adjacent tissues was significantly higher than that in cancer tissues,and the expression of Foxj2 in non-lymphatic node metastasis group was higher than that in lymphatic node metastasis.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusion The expressions and location of Foxj2 was related to the lymphatic node metastasis of lung cancer.This phenomenon indicates that Foxj2 may play an important role in the development of lung cancer.
