Background Studies have determined that nucleotide binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) plays a key role in innate immune response.However,whether NOD2 participates in the nature defense of fungal keratitis is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the expression and significance of NOD2 on cornea in the initial of Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis (AFK) in rats.Methods Seventy-two adult clean Wistar rats were randomized into the normal control group,only corneal epithelial scraped group and AFK model group,and the AFK models were established by incubating Aspergillus fumigatus to cornea after corneal epithelium was scraped.All the operations were performed in the right eyes of rats.Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) was carried out to detect the expression of NOD2 mRNA in corneal epithelium 4,8,16,24 hours after operation.Twenty-four hours after operation,the expression of NOD2 protein in rat corneas was examined by immunochemistry and immnunofluorescence technology.Also,the rat corneas were obtained for regular histopathological examination.The use and care of the animals complied with Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee Guidebook by NIH.Results All the models were made successfully.RT-PCR revealed that a fewer NOD2 mRNA were expressed on cornea in the normal control group,but the expressing levels of NOD2 mRNA were increased in the only corneal epithelial scraped group and AFK model group.Compared with only corneal epithelial scraped group,the elevated values of NOD2 mRNA expression in the AFK model group were statistically significant at 4,8,16 and 24 hours after operation (t =-0.409,-0.439,-0.534,-0.618,all at P=0.000).The histopathological examination displayed that the cornel tissue had intact structure in the normal control group,and partly corneal epithelial deficiency,slight corneal swelling and fewer neutrophil granulocytes were seen in the only corneal epithelial scraped group.However,corneal ulcer,severe corneal edema and a lot of neutrophil granulocytes were exhibited in the AFK model group.Immunochemistry and immnunofluorescence staining evidenced that weaker expression of NOD2 was visualized in the corneal epithelial and endothelial layers,and obviously enhanced staining was seen in the AFK model group.The expressing levels (absorbancy) were 0.045 ± 0.005,0.050 ± 0.005 and 0.092 ± 0.006 in the normal control group,only corneal epithelial scraped group and AFK model group,respectively,showing a significant increase in the AFK model group compared with the only corneal epithelial scraped group (t =0.042,P =0.000).Conclusions Expression of NOD2 is upregulated in the corneas with AFK,suggesting that NOD2 participates the natural defense in the initial of fungal keratitis.NOD2 may play an important role in the process of anti-fungal innate immune response in cornea.

AIM:To investigate the protective effect of preconditioning on rabbit liver during total ischemia and reperfusion and its mechanism. METHODS: Using hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury (HIRI) model in rabbits, animals were randomly divided into three groups: control group (A), non-preconditioning group(B) and preconditioning group(C), different effects of preconditioning on several parameters including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity and levels of nitric oxide (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in plasma or liver tissue as well as hepatocellular morphological changes were measured and observed during HIRI. RESULTS:In C group NO levels of plasma and liver tissue were higher than those in B group (P0.05); abnormal morphological chages of liver cells in A group were ameliorated remarkably too during HIRI. CONCLUSION:Preconditioning can attenuate HIRI by improving NO level and reducing oxygen free radicals level.

AIM: To study the role of nitric oxide and endothelin in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) and effect of ligustrazini (LGT). METHODS: The rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (n=10, in each ),sham operated group( A ),MIR group( B ) and LGT group(C).Plasma nitric oxide products( NOP,in terms of NO - 2/NO - 3 ) contents,endothelin (ET) levels,and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities were measured before ischemia, 40 minutes after ischemia and 20 minutes after reperfusion.Meanwhile NOP, ET concentrations and LDH activity in myocardium were measured ,and the ultrastructure changes in myocardium were observed under electron microscope at 20 minutes after reperfusion. RESULTS: As compared with group A,NOP decreased and ET as well as LDH increased at 40 minutes (P

AIM: To study the protective effect of Ligustrazini(LGT) on gut barrier function after hemorrhagic shock-reperfusion. METHODS: Thirty white rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups: control group (A),shock group (B) and LGT group (C). Malondialdehyde(MDA), tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF ?), interleukin-1?(IL-1?) and nitric oxide products(NO - 2/NO - 3) contents were measured in intestinal mucosa at 3 hours following reperfusion,culture of bacteria in blood from rabbits of 3 groups was carried out,the intestinal mucosa was examined under optical and electron microscope. RESULTS: MDA, TNF ?, IL-1? and NO - 2/NO - 3 contents of intestinal mucosa remained unchanged in group C,but increased significantly in group B, compared with group A. Incidence of bacterial translocation in group B was markedly higher than that in group A at 30 min following reperfusion,there was not any difference between group A and group C. Under light and electronic microscope,in comparison with A and C groups,intestinal mucosa damage in B group became more severe. CONCLUSION: LGT can protect gut barrier from intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by hemorrhagic shock through reducing oxygen free radicals,raising nitric oxide and preventing inflammation.

Objective:To investigate the current status of alexithymia and silence behavior in clinical nurses, and analyze the influence of clinical nurses' alexithymia on silence behavior.Methods:Using the cross sectional survey method, convenience sampling was used to select 589 clinical nurses from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University as the research object from September to October 2019. The investigation was carried out with the general information questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) and the Employee Silence Scale to analyze the influence of alexithymia on silence behavior of clinical nurses. A total of 600 questionnaires were distributed and 589 valid questionnaires were returned, with the effective response rate of 98.2%.Results:Among 589 clinical nurses, the total scores of TAS and silence behavior were (54.07±8.86) and (36.24±6.32) respectively. The results of single factor analysis showed that in terms of job title, working years, education, department, form of employment, and marital status, there were statistically significant differences in the scores of the Employee Silence Scale in 589 clinical nurses ( P<0.05) . Pearson correlation analysis results indicated that clinical nurses' TAS scores were positively correlated with the Employee Silence Scale scores. The hierarchical regression analysis showed that describing affective disorder and extroverted thinking had a positive predictive effect on silence behavior, explaining 24.1% of the total variation. Conclusions:The alexithymia and silence behavior of clinical nurses need to be improved, and the alexithymia positively affects the silent behavior. Nursing managers should encourage clinical nurses to actively express their inner suggestions and ideas, and reduce the silence behavior of clinical nurses.

Objective:To explore the osteogenic activity of in vitro cultured preosteoblasts treated by magnesium loaded hydrogel core-shell microspheres.Methods:A microfluidics chip device was designed and made to fabricate magnesium loaded hydrogel core-shell microspheres to precisely control the stable release of magnesium ions in vitro,the mechanism of controllable magnesium ion release in the promotion of osteogenic activity of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts was systematically investigated.Results:The magnesium loaded hydro-gel microspheres(PLGA/MgO-alginate microspheres)prepared by the microfluidics chip exhibited to be monodisperse with special core-shell structure and could control the stable release of magnesium ions at a concentration of 50 ppm in vitro.The in vitro study showed that it significantly enhanced the activity and proliferation ability of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts,promoted their osteogenic differ-entiation and mineralization ability,and increased ALP activity.Conclusion:Magnesium loaded hydrogel core-shell microspheres can promote the osteogenic activity of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts in vitro.

Objective To investigate clinical effects and prognostic factors of transabdominal laparoscopic-assisted and open radical resection for Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG).Methods The retrospective cohort and case-control studies were conducted.The clinicopathologieal data of 84 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2014 to January 2017 were collected.Among 84 patients,42 undergoing transabdominal laparoscopic-assisted radical gastectomy (LARG) were allocated into LARG group and 42 undergoing transabdominal open radical gastectomy (ORG) were allocated into ORG group.Observation indicators:(1) comparison of intraoperative and postoperative recovery situations between groups;(2)comparison of follow-up and survival situations between groups;(3) prognostic analysis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative survival situations,tumor recurrence and metastasis of patients up to January 2018.Measurement data with normal distribution were representde as-x±s,and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Comparison of count data were analyzed using the ehi-square test or Fisher exact probability.Ordinal data were compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U nonparametric test.The survival rate and curve were respectively calculated and drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method,and Log-rank test was used for survival and univariate analyses.Multivariate analysis was done by COX proportional hazard model.Results (1) Comparison of intraoperative and postoperative recovery situations between groups:patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG in the LARG and ORG group underwent successful transabdominal radical resection,without conversion to thoracotomy.All patients in the LARG group underwent esophagojejunostomy with circular stapler device,38 and 4 patients in the ORG group underwent esophagojejunostomy with circular stapler and linear cut stapler respectively.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,length of incision,time of postoperative analgesia,cases with anastomotic bleeding,anastomotic leakage,abdominal bleeding,incisional infection,pulmonary infection,abdominal infection and reflux esophagitis of grade Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ postoperative complications and duration of postoperative stay were respectively (261±50)minutes,(119±111)mL,(7.8±1.6)cm,(2.1±1.3)days,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,(12.8 ± 1.9) days in LARG group and (216 ± 52) minutes,(230± 178) mL,(17.3± 1.8) cm,(3.4±1.2)days,2,0,2,2,2,1,2,(18.4±15.3)days in ORG group,with statistically significances between groups (t =2.357,2.960,2.195,2.013,x2 =5.486,t =2.125,P＜0.05).All patients with complications were improved by symptomatic treatment.(2) Comparison of follow-up and survival situations between groups:81 of 84patients including 41 in LARG group and 40 in ORG group were followed up for 6-48 months,with a median time of 29 months.The postoperative 2-year overall and tumor-free survival rates were respectively 85.1％ and 82.1％ of 41 patients in LARG group and 83.1％ and 79.3％ of 40 patients in ORG group,with no statistically significance between groups (x2 =0.013,0.049,P＞0.05).(3) Prognostic analysis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection:results of univariate analysis showed that tumor diameter,tumor TNM staging,tumor T staging,tumor N staging and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were related factors affecting prognosis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection (x2 =8.349,14.376,9.732,17.250,8.012,P＜0.05).Results of multivariate analysis showed that tumor TNM staging and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were independent factors affecting prognosis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection (risk ratio =4.305,0.031,95％ confidence interval:1.858-9.977,0.004-0.246,P＜0.05).Conclusions Transabdominal laparoscopicassisted radical resection for AEG is safe and feasible,with advantage of minimally invasiveness,having equivalent long-term effects compared to open surgery.Tumor TNM staging and postoperative chemotherapy are independent factors affecting prognosis of patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG undergoing transabdominal radical resection.

OBJECTIVETo explore the technical feasibility, safety, and short-term clinical efficacy of right-to-lateral approach in laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy.

METHODSClinicopathological data of 178 gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy, including 92 patients with right-to-lateral approach(R-LG group) and 86 cases with left-to-lateral approach (L-LG group), in our department from October 2010 to September 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Short-term efficacy and complication morbidity were compared between R-LG group and L-LG group according to body mass index (BMI).

RESULTSFor those patients with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m², the R-LG group (35 cases) had shorter mean operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, shorter painkiller used time than L-LG group (31 cases)[(227 ± 17) min vs. (262 ± 23) min, (73 ± 9) ml vs. (84 ± 8) ml and (2.1 ± 0.1) d vs. (2.6 ± 0.4) d, all P<0.05]. The average time to ambulation and recovery time of peristalsis in the R-LG group were faster than those in L-LG group [(2.2 ± 0.2) d vs. (2.8 ± 0.6) d and (3.6 ± 0.3) d vs. (4.2 ± 0.5) d, all P<0.05]. The R-LG group had more dissected lymph nodes per patient (35 ± 4) than the L-LG group (30 ± 5) with significant difference (P<0.05). There were no significances in postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complication morbidity and hospitalization expenses between R-LG and L-LG group (all P>0.05). For those patients with BMI<24 kg/m², there were no significant differences in all above parameters between R-LG group (57 cases) and L-LG group (55 cases). No mortality and recurrence was observed during follow-up of 3 to 24 months.

CONCLUSIONRight-to-lateral approach in laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy is a safe and feasible procedure, especially for the obesity patients, which can shorten the operation time, decrease intraoperative blood loss, lead to a faster postoperative recovery and harvest more lymph nodes as compared to L-LG procedure.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that have a pivotal role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by sequence-specifically targeting multiple mRNAs. Although miR-33a was recently reported to play an important role in lipid homeostasis, atherosclerosis, and hepatic fibrosis, the functions of miR-33a in tumor progression and metastasis are largely unknown. Here, we found that downregulated miR-33a in breast cancer tissues correlates with lymph node metastasis. MiR-33a expression is significantly lower in the highly metastatic breast cancer cell lines than the noncancerous breast epithelial cells and non-metastatic breast cancer cells. Moreover, the overexpression of miR-33a in metastatic breast cancer cells remarkably decreases cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and significantly inhibits tumor growth and lung metastasis in vivo, whereas its knockdown in non-metastatic breast cancer cells significantly enhances cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and promotes tumor growth and lung metastasis in vivo. Combining bioinformatics prediction and biochemical analyses, we showed that ADAM9 and ROS1 are direct downstream targets of miR-33a. These findings identified miR-33a as a negative regulator of breast cancer cell proliferation and metastasis.
