Aim To investigate whether necroptosis mediates chemical hypoxia-induced HT22 mouse hippocampal cell injury and inflammation.Methods HT22 hippocampal cells were exposed to cobalt chloride (CoCl2) to establish a model of the chemical hypoxia-induced injury and inflammation.The expression level of RIP3 (an index of necroptosis) was determined by Western blot.Cell counter kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to test the cell viability.Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the culture medium was measured with commercial kits.Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was examined by rhodamine123 staining followed by photofluorography.The intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by 2', 7'-dichlorfluorescein-diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining followed by photofluorography.The secretion levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA.Results Treatment of HT22 hippocampal cells with 600 μmol·L-1 CoCl2 for 36 h markedly induced cytotoxicity, leading to a decrease in cell viability to (52.0±2.65) % , indicating that chemical hypoxia-induced cellular injury model was successfully set up.Besides, CoCl2 induced considerable injuries and inflammation, evidenced by increases in LDH activity, ROS production, MMP loss, as well as the secretion levels of IL-1β and TNF-α.Co-treatment of the cells with 40~100 μmol·L-1 Nec-1 (a specific inhibitor of necroptosis) and CoCl2 markedly attenuated the decrease in viability induced by CoCl2, reaching the best anti-cytotoxicity inhibitory effect at 80 μmol·L-1.Meanwhile, the co-treatment with 80 μmol·L-1 Nec-1 blocked the above injuries and inflammatory response induced by CoCl2.In addition, treatment of HT22 hippocampal cells for 6~48 h up-regulated the expression of RIP3, and Nec-1 alleviated the up-regulation of RIP3 expression level induced by CoCl2.Conclusion Necroptosis mediates chemical hypoxia-induced HT22 hippocampal cell injury and inflammation.

Objective: To analyze the situation of new occupational diseases in Hengyang City from 2006 to 2017, and put forward prevention and control strategies. Methods: The data of the new occupational disease report of Hengyang city in the Occupational Disease and Occupational Health Information Monitoring System from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2017 was collected, and the age, working years, and the region and industry of the new occupational disease patients were analyzed. Results: From 2006 to 2017, there were 7 categories, 30 kinds and 2 110 cases of new occupational diseases in Hengyang City, including 1 117 cases of pneumoconiosis, 951 cases of chronic occupational poisoning, 15 cases of acute occupational poisoning, 12 cases of occupational otolaryngological and stomatological diseases, 7 cases of occupational skin diseases, 6 cases of occupational diseases caused by physical factors, and 1 case of occupational eye diseases(cataracts), 1 case of occupational tumor (lung cancer and skin cancer caused by arsenic and its compounds). New occupational diseases were mainly concentrated in Changning and Leiyang County-level city (87.82%, 1 853/2110), among which occupational poisoning had the most incidence in Changning County-level city (97.83%, 945/966), and pneumoconiosis had the most incidence in Leiyang County-level city (67.05%, 749/1 117). New occupational diseases were mainly concentrated in the manufacturing and mining industries (95.59%, 2 017/2 110). Pneumoconiosis (63.74%, 712/1 117) and acute occupational poisoning (60.00%, 9/15) were mainly caused by small businesses. Chronic occupational poisoning (61.62%, 586/951) and occupational otolaryngological and stomatological diseases (75.00%, 9/12) were mainly caused by large enterprises. Conclusion The new occupational diseases in Hengyang city are mostly pneumoconiosis and chronic occupational poisoning, and we should focus on strengthening the prevention and control of occupational diseases in the mining industry and manufacturing industry.

Objective To investigate the significance of change of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR) hyperintense vessel sign(HVS) after endovascular recanalization in acute ischemic stroke. Methods The clinical and imaging data of the patients with acute middle cerebral artery(MCA) occlusion treated by mechanical thrombectomy with Solitaire AB from January 2013 to october 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The inclusion criteria: (1) The preoperative MRI included conventional non-enhanced MR, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI), and HVS was observed on preoperative FLAIR images; (2) acute MCA occlusion verified by conventional angiography;(3) postoperative similar MR images examination was performed within 48 hours. The relationships among postoperative changes in the HVS, DWI and Thrombolysis In Cerebral Ischemia (TICI) scale (1—3) were assessed. Results After endovascular therapy, HVS of the 11 cases were showed to be disappeared(n = 9) and decreased (n = 2). All the 9 patients with disappeared HVS achieved high grade flow (TICI 3), and minor decrease of ischemic area on DWI in 1 case, minor progression in 6, and significant progression in 2. However, of the 2 patients with decreased HVS, one achieved relatively low grade flow (TICI 2a) and the other was found to be relatively high grade flow (TICI 2b), but severe MCA stenosis. DWI demonstrated significant progression in both two cases. Conclusion Our data indicate that endovascular recanalization of acute MCA occlusion was effective for decreasing HVS. Postoperative decrease and disappear in HVS can be considered as a marker for hemodynamic improvement.

Purpose To investigate the pathological characteristics of loco-regional recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( rNPC ) . Methods Nasopharyngeal biopsy specimens of 46 rNPCs and 63 primary NPCs were collected. HE staining, immunohistochemistry and EBV small RNAs ( EBERs) in-situ hybridization were performed. Results The over-expression rates of both p63 and CK5/6 in rNPC were significantly higher than those of primary NPCs (P=0. 005, P=0. 026), while no statistical significance of Ki-67 over-ex-pression existed between the two groups ( P=0. 387 ) . More necrotic tissues, inflammatory exudates, giant bizarre carcinoma cells, desmoplastic stroma, giant bizarre tumor cells and higher degree of squamous differentiation were found in rNPCs. The carcinoma cells of 5 rNPCs were negative for both EBERs in-situ hybridization and LMP-1 immunohistochemical staining. Conclusion The loco-re-gional rNPC has two peaks of latency interval:2~5 and 9~11 years. The loco-regional rNPC cells have higher degree of squamous differentiation with higher expression of p63 and CK5/6, as well as more invasive ability. In addition, both EBERs in-situ hybridization and LMP-1 immunostaining are negative in 10. 87% (5/46) of loco-regional rNPC.
