Purpose To investigate the expression of Netrin-1 in ovarian serous carcinoma and its c1inicopatho1ogica1 significance. Methods Netrin-1 protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemica1 method in tissue specimens from 20 cases of benign ovari-an serous cystadenomas,13 cases of border1ine ovarian serous neop1asms and 32 cases of ovarian serous carcinomas( OSC). Results The positive proportion of Netrin-1 protein in OSC tissues was significant1y higher than those in border1ine and benign ovarian serous ne-op1asms(P<0. 01). The expression of Netrin-1 in OSC tissues was associated with tumor grade and c1inica1 stage(P<0. 05),but not associated with age,site,tumor size or 1ymph node metastasis( P>0. 05). Kap1an-Meier ana1ysis showed that the 5-year surviva1 rate of patients with Netrin-1 over-expression was significant1y 1ower than that of patients with 1ower expression( P<0. 05 ). Conclu-sions The high expression of Netrin-1 in OSC tissues indicates that Netrin-1 p1ays an important ro1e in cancer pathogenesis and deve1-opment and it may be a new assistant marker for prognosis of OSC.

Objective To investigate instant messenger management on moderate asthma control in young and middle-aged patients.Methods Sixty young and middle-aged asthma patients enrolled were divided into 2 groups by random number table,traditional management group (group A) and messenger management group (group B),and received the asthma treatment with traditional management or messenger management for 1 year.The compliance,control condition,pulmonary function and Saint George respiratory questionnaire(SGRQ) were compared between two groups.Results After one year management,there were 20 patients in proceeding of the standard treatment,15 total control,10 partial control and 5 uncontrolled in group A,while there were 26 patients in proceeding of the standard treatment,21 total control,7 partial control and 2 uncontrolled in group B.Compared with group A,the treatment adherence(x2 =6.331,P ＜ 0.05),satisfaction degree (t =6.051,P ＜ 0.01),asthma control rate (x2 =6.490,P ＜ 0.05),efficacy satisfaction (t =6.051,P ＜ 0.01) were all increased in group B.Forced expiratory volume in 1 second was elevated more significantly in group B than that in group A [(0.132 ± 0.175) L vs.(0.326 ± 0.125) L] (t =5.099,P＜ 0.01).SGRQ scores were decreased more obviously in group B than that in group A (t =4.316,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The asthma control,respiratory and pulmonary function can be improved by messenger management in young and middle-aged patients.So promoting the messenger management model actively is advantageous to improve the level of prevention and treatment of asthma in China.

Objective To summarize the experiences in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairing for adult patients. Methods Clinical data of 512 hernia cases admitted in our center from March 2007 to Sep 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 437 cases of single-sided hernia,including 281 indirect inguinal hernia,86 direct inguinal hernia,15 femoral hernia,16 combined inguinal hernia and 39 recurrent hernia.There were also 75 cases of double-sided inguinal hernia,including 3 recurrent hernia.There were 41 acute incarcerated hernia cases.The average postoperative follow up time was(29 ± 12) months. Results 507 cases underwent successful laparoscopic repair,and 5 cases were converted to open procedure.There were 238 TAPP and 269 TEP in laparoscopic operations.The average operative time for TAPP was (69 ±19) min,and (58 ±15) min for TEP.The average length of postoperative stay was (5.0 ± 1.5) days.The percentage of resuming normal activity after 2 weeks and 4 weeks were 95.7％ (485/507) and 99.0％(502/507).The most common postoperative complications were seroma (9.7％,49/507),transient paresthesia (4.1％,21/507) and chronic pain (0.8％,4/507).The recurrence rate was 0.6％ (3/507).Conclusions Laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia has the advantage of less trauma,faster recovery,and lower recurrence rate.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of hydrogen gas (H2) inhalation on acute renal injury in severe septic mice,and the associated mechanism.Methods Sepsis model was made by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) operation in mice.A total of 24 mice were randomly (random number)divided into four groups:sham operation group (Sham),sham operation with H2 inhalation group (Sham +H2),sepsis group (Sepsis),and sepsis with H2 inhalation group (Sepsis + H2).The procedure for inhalation of 2％ H2 for 1 h was initiated at 1 h after CLP and 6 h after sham operation,respectively.The pathological changes and apoptosis of kidney,the blood creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)concentration,the activities of superoxide dimutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in serum and kidney,as well as the levels of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in serum and kidney were observed at 24 h after operation.Results H2 inhalation could significantly alleviate the renal injury of septic mice,reduce the renal cell apoptosis,increase the activities of SOD and CAT,as well as decrease the levels of 8-iso-PGF2α and HMGB1 in serum and kidney (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions H2 inhalation can alleviate acute renal injury in septic mice,resulting from the increased activities of antioxidant enzymes and the reduced levels of oxidative products and inflammatory cytokines.

Objective To constructed the cell model transferred angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ ) type 2 receptor (AT2R) in vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) Method The VSMCs, isolated from the aorta of rat, were cultured by routine method. Recombinant adenoviral vector, AdCMV-AT2R, containing rat AT2 receptor gene was constructed by homologous recombination, and then it was used to transfer AT2 receptor gene to VSMC in vitro. The rate of AT2R expression in VSMC was analysed by flow cytometry. The expression of mRNA, protein were detected by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry respectively. The angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) type 1 receptor (A T1R) was determined as well. Result The expression rate of AT2R in VSMC was increased signific antly after transferred by AdCMV-AT2R with time, and the peak value detected by flow cytometry was about 89.51% at 48 hours. RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of AT2R mRNA and protein were increased obviously in transferred VSMC. There were no significantly change of AT1R expression during AT2R expression. Conclusion Our study indicates that AdCMV-AT2R did generate high level expression of AT2 receptor and its expression did not affect AT1R exp ression in cultured VSMC. The VSMCs transferred AT2R gene may be used as a good model to study the effect of AT2R on their biological action such as proliferation, migration and apoptosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of hydrogen (H2 ) on acute lung injury (ALI) in septic mice.MethodsOne hundred and twelve male C57BL/6 mice,aged 5 weeks,weighing 20-25 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =28 each):sham operation group (group A),sham operation + H2 group (group B),sepsis group (group C) and sepsis + H2 group (group D).Sepsis was produced by cecum ligation and puncture (CLP).Groups B and D received 1 h inhalation of 2％ H2 at 1 and 6 h after CLP operation or sham operation.Twenty animals in each group were selected and observed for the 7 d survival rate.The left 8 animals in each group were sacrificed at 24 h after CLP operation.Venous blood samples and lung tissues were obtained to determine the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD),catalase (CAT) and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-iso-PGF2α) in the serum and lungs,the concentration of protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF),and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the lungs.The lung injury score (LIS) was assessed and W/D lung weight ratio was calculated.ResultsCompared with group A,the 7 d survival rate and activities of SOD and CAT in the serum and lungs were significantly decreased,and LIS,W/D ratio,the concentration of protein in BALF,MPO activity and 8-iso-PGF2α level in the serum and lungs were significantly increased in group C ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with group C,the 7 d survival rate and activities of SOD and CAT in the serum and lungs were significantly increased,and LIS,W/D ratio,the concentration of protein in BALF,MPO activity and 8-iso-PGF2α level in the serum and lungs were significantly decreased in group C ( P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionH2 can alleviate ALI in septic mice via inhibiting oxidative stress response.

Objective To investigate the effect of intra-articular carboxymethylated ehitosan(CM- CTS)injection on inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)expression in cartilage at the early stage of os- teoarthfitis(OA).Methods Thirty-two white rabbits were underwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT)and were randomly divided into 4 groups 5 weeks after transection.Rabbits of group A re- ceived 0.3 ml of 2% high molecular weight CMCTS(H-CMCTS)once every two weeks.Rabbits in group B were treated using 2% low molecular weight(L-CMCTS)CMCTS at:the same intervals.Group C rabbits were injected intra-articularly with 0.3 ml of 1% sodium hyaluronate(Na-HA)once a week.Animals of group D were not injected.At sacrifice,11 weeks following surgery,the expression of iNOS in cartilages was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)methods.Results Both immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR showed that the level of iNOS expression of cartilage in CMCTS in- jection groups was lower than that in Na-HA injection group and the untreated group.There was no significant difference in iNOS expression between the two different molecular weight CMCTS injection groups. No signifi- cant difference of iNOS expression in cartilage was found between Na-HA injection group and the untreated group.Conclusion CMCTS suppresses iNOS expression in cartilage during the early stage of OA.Na-HA treatment has no effect on iNOS expression in cartilage.
