Objective To explore the effects and the molecular mechanism of synergistic hepatocarcinogenesis of HBV and AFB1 in the development of HCC by studying the difference in protein expression profiles in hepatocellular carcinoma exposed to hepatitis B virus and Aflatoxin B1.Method 32 HCC specimens were labeled under four categories based on their biomarkers of HBV and AFB1 exposure:group A:HBV(+)/AFB1 (+),10 cases,group B:HBV(+)/AFB1 (-),10 cases,group C:HBV(-)/AFB1(+),6 cases,groupD:HBV(-)/AFB1(-),6 cases.Normal hepatic tissues from 10 cases of hepatic hemangioma,liver resection and liver transplant donor were chosen as the normal control group.Isobaric Tagging Reagent Quantitative (iTRAQ) Proteomics together with 2DLC MS/MS were applied to analyze the differentially expressed proteins among the 4 groups.Result (1) A total of 117 unique differentially expressed proteins including 53 up-regulated proteins and 64 down-regulated proteins were identified in the four groups.The number of unique differentially expressed proteins,including up-regulated and down-regulated proteins,in group A,group B,group C and group D were 106,97,104 and 74 respectively.(2) Among the 117 differentially expressed proteins,9 proteins were heat shock proteins or chaperones,and they were up regulated in group A,B and C.Besides,15 proteins were detoxification and drug metabolism pathway related proteins,12 of them were down-regulated in group A,and more than half of them were also down-regulated in group B and C.(3) The Reverse Transcriptase PCR result showed the mean expression level of AKR1B10 mRNA in group A was significantly higher than group B,C and D (all P<0.05,respectively).Group C also showed significantly a higher expression level of AKR1B10 mRNA than group D (P<0.05).The Western-blot results showed the mean expression level of AKR1B10 protein in group A was significantly higher than group B and D (all P<0.05,respectively).Conclusions The up-regulated expression of heat shock protein and the down-regulated expression of most protein enzymes related to detoxification and drug metabolism were the common molecular biological events of HCC associated with exposure to HBV and AFB1.This suggested the synergistic hepatocarcinogenesis effects of HBV and AFB1 may be related to dysregulation of protein enzymes related to detoxification and drug metabolism.The overexpression of AKR1B10 may be involved in the AFB1-related hepatocarcinogenesis process.

These years with industrial antiseptics and disinfectants widely used, especially unscientifically used, the resistance of microorganisms is more and more serious, which brought much more difficulties to industrial producing. The developments on the resistance of microorganisms to industrial antiseptics and disinfectants, their resistant mechanisms and the control strategies are reviewed, which aids us to reasonably use industrial organic antiseptics and disinfectants in existence and provides academic and scientific basis.

OBJECTIVETo study the impact of left varicocele (VC) and varicocelectomy (VCT) on the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells and the levels of nitrogen monoxidum (NO) and interleukin 1 (IL-1) in the rat testis.
METHODSWe randomly divided 60 adolescent male SD rats into four groups of equal number: sham operation control, VC model 1 (VC1), VC model 2 (VC2), and VCT. We determined the semen quality and levels of NO and IL-1 in the testis tissue, detected the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells by TUNEL, and compared the indexes obtained among different groups.
RESULTSAn experimental VC model was successfully established by partially ligating the left renal vein of the rats. Sperm concentration and motility were significantly decreased in the VC1 ([1.54 ± 1.16] x 10⁶/ml and [44.23 ± 15.46]%) as compared with those in the sham operation group ([2.80 ± 1.62] x 10⁶/ml and [72.34 ± 12.62]%) (P < 0.05), but remarkably higher in the VCT ([1.82 ± 1.34] x 10⁶/mI and [51.21 ± 12.62]%) than in the VC2 group ([1.04 ± 1.21] x 10⁶/ml and [39.23 ± 13.21]%) (P < 0.05). The levels of NO and IL-1 in the left testes were markedly elevated in the VC1 ([0.172 ± 0.030] ng/ml and [1.468 ± 0.080 ] mg/ml) in comparison with those in the sham operation group ([0.134 ± 0.021] ng/ml and [0.782 ± 0.079 ] mg/ml) (P < 0.05), and significantly higher in the VC2 ([0.198 ± 0.020] ng/ml and [1.994 ± 0.090] mg/ml) than in the VCT group ([0.141 ± 0.010] ng/ml and [0.781 ± 0.036] mg/ml) (P < 0.05). However, the NO and IL-1 levels in the right testis showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups, and the two levels were positively correlated (r = 0.492, P < 0.01). The rats of the VC1 group exhibited remarkable apoptosis of spermatogenic cells in the bilateral testes, with significant differences in the apoptosis index ( AL) between the two sides (P < 0.05) as well as in the same side in comparison with the sham operation group (P < 0.01). The Als of spermatogenic cells in the bilateral testes showed statistically significant differences in the VCT (P < 0.05) but not in the VC2 group (P > 0.05), and those in the same side manifested dramatic differences between the VCT and VC2 groups (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONVaricocele induces changes of the NO and IL-1 levels in the testis tissue and increases the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells, which might be one of the causes of testis damage and spermatogenic dysfunction.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effects and complications of subinguinal microscopic ligation, laparoscopic transperitoneal varicocelectomy, laparoscopic retroperitoneal varicocelectomy, open retroperitoneal high ligation, and interventional embolotherapy in the treatment of varicocele.
METHODSWe conducted a retrospective study that included 632 varicocele patients treated by subinguinal microscopic ligation (group A, n = 79), laparoscopic transperitoneal varicocelectomy (group B, n = 120), laparoscopic retroperitoneal varicocelectomy (group C, n =137), open retroperitoneal high ligation (group D, n = 283), and interventional embolotherapy (group E, n = 13). We compared the baseline and 3-month postoperative semen parameters, postoperative complications, and pregnancy rate among the five groups of patients.
RESULTSThe operation time was longer in groups A ([2.02 ± 1.25] h) and E ([2.17 ± 1.02] h) than in the other three groups, while the postoperative hospital stay was the shortest in group E ([1.1 ± 0.1] d). Intestinal injury or incision bleeding occurred intraoperatively in 2 cases in group B and 1 case in group E. Postoperative scrotal edema developed in 3.7, 17, 10, and 19% of the patients in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively, but not in group E. The rate of 1-year recurrence was the lowest in group A (1.6%) and highest in group E (22%). Sperm concentration and the percentages of progressively motile sperm and morphologically normal sperm were improved postoperatively in all the patients (P < 0. 05), but there were no statistically significant differences among the five groups either in the above three parameters or in the postoperative pregnancy rate (P > 0. 05).
CONCLUSIONIn the surgical treatment of varicocele, laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach involves short operation time and few complications, subinguinal microscopic ligation has the advantages of little injury, rapid recovery, and few complications but requires specialized microsurgical techniques, and interventional embolotherapy leaves no incision scar and needs only local anesthesia and 1-day postoperative hospital stay, which is uitable for those with a contraindication to anesthesia.
