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 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.

OBJECTIVE: To establish an HPLC method for the determination of the contents of the related substances in metoclopramide.METHODS: The sample was separated on C18 column with the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.02 mol?L-1 phosphonic acid solution(19∶81) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1.The detection wavelength was set at 275 nm;the column temperature was kept under room temperature and the injected volume was 20 ?L.The contents of the related substances in metoclopramide were computed by self-control method of main constituent.RESULTS: Under the above described chromatographic conditions,metoclopramide was completely separated from its impurities.A good linearity between impurities' peak area and metoclopramide(contrast solution) concentration was achieved when the concentrations of impurities were over the range of 0.05%～4.0%.The lowest detectable limit of metoclopramide was 0.3 ng,and the contents of the related substances were all less than 0.26%.CONCLUSION: The method is convenient,accurate,sensitive and,specific,and it can be used for the determination of the related substances in metoclopramide.

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.

Membrane proteins are the main undertakers of biofilm function, and also the most important target group for innovative drug discovery and research. About 60% of drugs targets are membrane proteins. Due to the obvious aggregation and denaturation tendency of membrane proteins in aqueous solution, it is difficult to simulate the membrane like environment to maintain the correct conformation of membrane proteins in vitro, which results in the slower-growing research on the structure and function of membrane proteins and related ligand drugs than that of water-soluble proteins. Membrane protein stabilization technology is the premise of establishing high specificity, high sensitivity and high throughput drug screening methods for membrane protein ligands, which is of great significance. In this paper, some techniques for stable separation and purification of membrane proteins are reviewed, including detergents, artificial membranes, polymers, lentiviral particles and so on, as well as their specific applications in drug screening.

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.
