Objective: To analyze the relationship between hemoglobin ( Hb ) and serum uric acid ( SUA ), so as to provide basis for preventing hyperuricemia ( HUA ) . Methods: As the research subjects, people who underwent physical examination in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 1, 2017 to October 31, 2020 for 4 years in a row and who were non-HUA in 2017 were selected. The physical examination data were collected, including body mass index, blood pressure, blood routine, blood biochemical tests, etc. The subjects grouped by quartiles of Hb level in 2017. The occurrence of SUA elevation ( SUA increased ≥60 μmol/L from baseline ) , significantly SUA elevation ( SUA increased ≥120 μmol/L from baseline ), HUA ( SUA>420 μmol/L ) and severe HUA ( SUA ≥480 μmol/L ) in the next 3 years were taken as end events. The incidence, occurrence time and risk of end events in different Hb groups were analyzed. Results: A total of 4 073 subjects were selected and divided into 4 groups according to the Hb level from low to high, with 969 subjects in group A, 907 subjects in group B, 1 109 subjects in group C and 1 088 subjects in group D. SUA elevation was in 745 patients ( 18.29% ); significantly SUA elevation was in 105 patients ( 2.58% ); HUA was in 514 patients ( 12.62% ); severe HUA was in 94 patients ( 2.31% ). The incidence of SUA elevation and significantly SUA elevation showed a decreasing trend with the increase of Hb level ( P<0.05 ). The occurrence time of SUA elevation in group A to D was 2.788, 2.817, 2.860 and 2.814 years, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 ). There were no statistically significant differences in the occurrence time of other end events ( P>0.05 ). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that compared with group A, other Hb groups had lower risk ( HR=0.498-0.776, 95%CI:0.253-0.981 ) of SUA elevation, significantly SUA elevation and severe HUA after adjusting for gender, age, ALT, Scr, body mass index, etc. Conclusions With the increase of Hb level, the incidence of SUA elevation may decrease and the occurrence time is prolonged. Compared with the lowest Hb group, the higher Hb groups had lower risk of SUA elevation, significantly SUA elevation and severe HUA.

Objective To study the survival and melanogenic potential of human melanocytes reversibly immortalized via SV40T antigen gene and Cre/loxP system in Guinea pigs. Methods The supernatants of retrovirus vector Cre-ERT2 were used to infect melanocytes which had been successfully transfected by SV40TAg gene (MCT), then the expression of Cre recombinase was induced with tamoxifen in infected cells; subsequently, the surviving cells, which were named as MCTC, were subjected to expansion culture. Guinea pigs were utilized to establish animal models of vitiligo, then MCTC and primary melanocytes were transplanted respectively into the animal models. The repigmentation at the transplanted area was observed with naked eyes successively until 3 months after the transplantation when tissue samples were obtained from implanted area and nonimplanted area of guinea pigs and subjected to Masson-Fontana silver stain and Hematoxylin-eosin stain for the analysis of melanocyte distribution and melanin deposition in epidermis. Results Repigmentation started 4 weeks after the transplantation, and dark or brown patches, which ranged in size from 0.5 to 1 cm, were observed in the implanted area 3 months after the transplantation. The repigmentation rate was of no significant difference between pigs transplanted with MCTC and those with primary melanocytes (82.5% vs 76.7%, P > 0.05). Pathological examination revealed melanin deposition in the basal layer of epidermis and some hair follicles in transplanted area. Conclusions SV40T antigen gene combined with Cre/loxP site-specific recombinase system can induce the reversible immortalization of human melanocytes, and the immortalized melanocytes have a favorable profile of biological safety and similarity in survival rate and melanogenic potential to primary melanocytes.

Background and purpose:The Smac/DIABLO(the second mitochondrial derived activator of caspase/direct IAP binding protein with low pI)is a new kind of mitochondria protein,it inhibits IAPs(inhibitors of apoptosis protein),including Survivin,and activates caspase-9 and caspase-3,accordingly promotes apoptosis.In this study,we investigated the effect of over-expressing mitochondrial protein-Smac/DIABLO while silencing inhibitor of apoptosis protein-Survivin on the cell growth,cell cycle and apoptosis of human colon cancer cells through cotransfecting both genes.Methods:Constructed survivin-shRNA-EGFP plasmid was transected with Smac-pcDNA3.1 plasmid into Lovo cells at either half each dose or total dose,respectively.Western blot was used to survey the protein level of Smac and Survivin;Hoechst 33258 staining was used to detect the karyomorphological diversity of apoptotic cells and evaluate apoptotic ratio roughly;PI staining and flow cytometry analysis were used to examine cell cycle;caspase-3 Detection Kits was used to detect the activity of caspase-3.Results:The expression of Smac protein increased but Survivin protein decreased 48 hr after transfection.Karyomorphological diversify of apoptotic cells were obviously observed by hoechst 33258 staining.The apoptosis rate in Smav+Survivin shRNA group was(18.5?1.7)%,which was higher than that in Smac group(9.6?1.8)% and Survivin shRNA group(15.0?0.3)%,and all of three groups were significantly higher than the control groups;The cells of G0/G1 phase increased to(51.0?6.2)% in Smac group,and the cells of S stage increased to(53.3?1.3)% in Survivin shRNA group(P
