Objective:The purpose of this study is to determine levels of Ghrelin,TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in peripheral blood of patients with chronic hepatitis B,liver cirrhosis,and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which diagnosed at different extent of damage,and based on it to have a further study on the relevance between Ghrelin and inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood in above diseases.Methods:Ghrelin,TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in peripheral blood were determined by ELISA method.Results:In patients with chronic hepatitis B andhepatic cirrhosis,Ghrelin level increased significantly as compared with that in normal control group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Ghrelin levels in decompensated liver cirrhosis (degree B and C)groups were much higher than in chronic hepatitis B group (P＜0.05). Ghrelin level in group of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease decreased significantly as compared with that in normal control group (P<0.01). Ghrelin and inflammatory cytokines,including TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 showed a positive relevances in groups of chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis,but not in NAFLD group which showed a negative correlations.Conclusion:Ghrelin has a higher level in peripheral blood of patients with chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis,but it has a lower level in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,suggesting correlation of Ghrelin level with the occurrence and the procession of chronic liver diseass.

Objective:To explore the expression and clinical significance of RhoGDI2 in colorectal cancer. Methods:Immuno-histochemistry was used to identify RhoGDI2 expression in clinical samples of colorectal cancer tissues,para-tumorous tissues and lymph node metastasis tissues. The relationships between CRC clinical factors and survival were analyzed. Results: RhoGDI2 expression contributed positively with tumor progression and metastasis in clinical tissues. It was associated with the stage of the tumor,lymph node metastasis, remote metastasis, venous invasion and vessel invasion. Patients with higher RhoGDI2 expression had poorer overall survival. Conclusion:RhoGDI2 showed high expression in colorectal cancer and it was associated with the stage of the tumor,lymph node metastasis,remote metastasis, venous invasion and vessel invasion. Patients with higher RhoGDI2 expression had poorer overall survival.

Objective:To construct the human DcR3 expression vector and verify its expression in vitro. Methods: 915 bp human DcR3 gene CDS was amplified from porcine lung tissues,and was cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pEF1a-IRES-DsRed-Express2 which show red fluorescence. And then pEF1a-IRES-DsRed-Express2-DcR3 was transfected into LX-2 cells by FuGene HD. Expression of mRNA and protein lever of Human DcR3 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results:The levels of DcR3 gene transcription and translation in the hepatic stellate cells were significantly increased after transfection with pEF1a-IRES-DsRed-Ex-press2-DcR3 by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Conclusion: DcR3 expression vector was successfully constructed and highly expressed in LX-2 cells.

Objective:To study the silencing gene expression level of RhoGDI2 small interfering RNA(siRNA)and the colorectal cancer cell malignant behaviors such as cell proliferation,migration,invasion.Methods:Testing RhoGDI2 expression using Westen blot analysis and Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)in the colorectal cancer cell lines of RKO,HT29,SW620,SW480,HCT116.The siRNA of RhoGDI2 with Lipofecta mineTM2000 was transfected into target cells,as well as negative control and normal control groups.Cell counting kits(CCK-8)to detect proliferation,Wound healing assay and the Transwell plate migration and invasion was detected.The epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)relevant protein E-cadherin/Vimentin expression was detected.Results:Human colon cancer cell lines RhoGDI2 expression levels decreased in the order of RKO,HT29,SW620,SW480,HCT116:siRNA inhibited RhoGDI2 expression rate of RKO cell by 70%;in silence group,negative control group and blank contro1 group,the proliferation rates were(0.683±0.013),(0.866±0.088),(0.905±0.008),P<0.05;Wound healing assay and Transwell assay suggested RhoGDI2 silencing could inhibit migration;siRNA interference of colon cancer cells downregulated Vimentin,but upregulated E-Cadherin protein.Conclusion:RhoGDI2 down-regulation could significantly inhibit the cell proliferation,migration,invasion of colon cancer cell.

Objective: To observe relation among sICAM-1 level in the sera of patients with chronic viral hepatic disease, viral replication and the clinical significance. Methods: The level changes of sICAM-1, IL-1,IL-8 and TNFa in the sera of patients with chronic hepatitis B(CH),chronic severe hepatitis B(CSH) and hepatocirrhosis (HC) were detected by ELISA. Results: The levels of sICAM-1,IL-1,IL-8 and TNFa in sera of the patients with chronic viral hepatic disease were significantly higher than those of healthy control group(P<0.01). The bilirubin level in the sera of patients with chronic viral hepatic disease of different clinical types positively correlated with sICAM-1 and cytokine activities. The sICAM-1 level in the sera of HBV-DNA or HBeAg positive patients was significantly higher than those of negative patients(P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion: The sICAM-1 level and activities of cytokine IL-1,IL-8 and TNFa as well as the bilirubin level in the sera of the patients can reflect the necrosis degree of hepatocytes, and the sICAM-1 level and activities of IL-1,IL-8 and TNFa were related to state of HBV carrier or the active degree of HBV in patients with hepatic disease.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of local application of methimazole cream in the patients with hyperthyroidism complicated with liver failure, and to provide reference for its clinical treatment.Methods:Two patients were admitted to hospital with jaundice as the main performance.Liver function and coagulation function supported the diagnosis of liver failure.The thyroid function indicators suggested hyperthyroidism.Combined with other related examination results, liver failure, hyperthyroidism and hepatitis B virus were diagnosed, and the local treatment of methimazole cream and other related treatments were given.Results:After treatment, the liver function of two patients returned to normal and the thyroid function was improved.After follow-up, one patient changed the external use of methimazole cream to oral treatment, and another patient was still treated in a local manner.Conclusion:There is a conflict in the treatment of hyperthyroidism complicated with liver failure.The local application of methimazole cream in the topic of reducing the risk of liver damage caused by drugs has good results in the treatment of hyperthyroidism.This method also provides the new ideas for its clinical treatment.
