Objective To evaluate the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (α-LA)on autophagy in human skin fibroblasts (HSFs). Methods HSFs at passage 3 - 5 were divided into several groups to be cultured with α-LA at final concentrations of 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.50 mmol/L for 4, 12 and 24 hours, respectively. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay was performed to evaluate cellular proliferative activity, monodansylcadaverin(MDC)staining to determine autophagy levels, and Western blot to measure the expression of the microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain-3B(LC3-B). Results After incubation for 24 hours, there was a significant difference in the proliferative activity of HSFs among all the groups (F = 10.41, P < 0.05), while no significant differences were observed after incubation for either 4 or 12 hours (F = 2.85, 1.34, respectively, both P > 0.05). MDC staining also showed a significant difference in the percentage of autophagosome-positive cells among all the groups after 24-hour incubation (F = 8.03, P < 0.05), but no significant difference after either 4- or 12-hour incubation (F = 0.11, 0.10, respectively, both P > 0.05). Western blot revealed that the degree of conversion from LC3-Ⅰ to LC3-Ⅱ(LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰratio)was significantly different among all the groups after 24-hour incubation (F = 37.49, P < 0.05), but similar after 4- and 12-hour incubation (F = 3.38, 2.13, respectively, both P > 0.05). Conclusion α-LA may inhibit basal autophagy in HSFs.

Objective To study the effects of decoy strategy targeted to NF-KB on the development of trauma-associated liver inflammation in rats. Methods In this study, 108 Wistar rats were randomized into 3 groups: control group, traumatic inflammation group and traumatic inflammation plus decoy ODN group. Rats were sacrificed on 3,6,12,24,48 and 72hrs in each group respectively. Liver functions and structural changes were examined and compared between the groups. DNA binding activity of NF-KB in liver tissue was measured by EMSA. TNF-α and IL-6 gene expressin in liver tissue was assessed by RT-PCR and TNF-α and IL-6 protein level was determined by ELISA. Results The DNA binding activity of NF-kB in liver rose at 3 hours after induction of liver inflammation following trauma and peaked at 12 hours. Correspondingly, both the mRNA and protein levels of TNF-α and IL-6 elevated significantly, as well as the serum alanine aminotransferase level culminating at 24 hours after surgery. Hepatocytes was edematous, degeneration and necrosis, with dramatic destruction of lobular structures. All these changes were significantly inhibited with NF-KB decoy oligodeoxynucleotides. Conclusions Decoy oligodeoxynucleotides specifically inhibit the activity of NF-kB, and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-6 release from the liver in response to traumatic inflammation decrease, hence the injury on liver structures and functions were alleviated.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of overlapping sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) for long lesions during primary percutanous coronary intervention(PCl) in elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods Seven hundred and seventy-five elderly patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI were enrolled and followed up. Patients with two or more SES implanted for long lesions during PCI were taken as long lesion group and patients with single stents implanted were regarded as control group. The safety endpoints were in-hospital and follow-up death and stem thrombosis, and the clinical endpoints were the incidence of restenosis and target vessel revascularization rate during in-hospital follow-up and 6 months" follow-up.Results Among 775 patients, 62 patients had 64 long lesions. The average number of stents was 2. 2, and the average lesion length and stent length implanted were (45.3±10. 4)mm and (52.2±11.0)mm, respectively. During the 6 months' follow-up, the incidence of angiographically documented stent thrombosis were 1.6% in long lesion group and 1.1% in control group, respectively. No death or myocardial infarction occurred in two groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of restenosis and target vessel revascularization rate between long-lesion group and control group (8. 1 vs. 4.8%, 6.9% vs. 3. 7%, both P>0.05). Conclusions Overlapping implantation of homemade SES is safe and effective for STEMI patients with long lesions in short-term period.
