Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2021;37(2):156-161
Objective:To study the protective effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on the inflammatory damage induced by high glucose(HG) in placental trophoblasts HTR8/SVneo and its molecular mechanism.Methods:Trophoblasts HTR8/SVneo cells were cultured and divided into low glucose(LG) group treated with low glucose (5 mmol/L), HG group treated with high glucose (25 mmol/L), GLP-1 group treated with high glucose combined with GLP-1, miR-137+ GLP-1 group treated with high glucose combined with GLP-1 after the transfection of miR-137 mimic, miR-137 mimic group transfected with miR-137 mimic, negative control (NC) mimic group transfected with NC mimic, and miR-137 inhibitor group transfected with miR-137 inhibitor, NC inhibitor group transfected with NC inhibitor. Apoptotic rate, expression of miR-137 and IL-6 were measured.Results:The apoptotic rate and the expression levels of miR-137 and IL-6 in HG group were significantly higher than those in LG group. The apoptotic rate and the expression levels of miR-137 and IL-6 in GLP-1 group were significantly lower than those in HG group. The apoptotic rate and the expression levels of miR-137 and IL-6 in miR-137+ GLP-1 group were significantly higher than those in GLP-1 group. The apoptotic rate and the expression level of IL-6 in miR-137 mimic group were significantly higher than those of NC mimic group, the apoptotic rate and the expression level of IL-6 in miR-137 inhibitor group were significantly lower than those in the NC inhibitor group.Conclusion:GLP-1 is able to alleviate the inflammation injury of HTR8/SVneo induced by high glucose through the miR-137/IL-6 pathway.

Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor(GI-NET)originates from peptide neurons and neu-roendocrine cells in gastrointestinal tract,and secrets peptide hormones,leading to carcinoid syndrome which rarely happens in clinical practice. Because of the improvement of diagnostic method and understanding of this rare disease,the morbidity is rising in recent years. The main treatments of GI-NET are surgery and compre-hensive therapy,consisting of chemotherapy and targeted therapy.

Objective To study the immunosuppression mechanism induced by ultraviolet (UV) and cis-urocanic acid. Method The auto lymphocyte proliferation test with Langerhans' cell (LC) in guinea -pig was performed. Results In exposure to low dose of UVB (25 J/m2) radiation, the inhibition rate of lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by LC was 10. 5%, the inhibition rates of UVB radiation in doses of 50 J/m2 and 100 J/m2 were 22.4% or 50%, respectively. The lymphocyte proliferation was almost completely suppressed by200J/m2 UVB radiation, while the inhibition of LC function by cis-urocanic acid was weak. Conclusion UVB significantly inhibits LC auto -stimulation in dose -dependent way, which may play an important role in UVB induced immunosuppression.

The incidence of locally recurrent rectal cancer is about 10%. Most patients have serious symptoms after tumor recurrence, which seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis of patients. Although it is more difficult to perform reoperation, it is still the main method to treat local recurrence of rectal cancer. At present, the main methods of reoperation include transabdominal anterior resection, combined pelvic organ resection, combined pelvic organ resection, and sacral resection. Open surgery is the main method. In recent years, with the extensive development of laparoscopic technology, laparoscopic techniques have been tried at home and abroad to perform reoperations for locally recurrent rectal cancer, showing good short-term results. The authors systematically introduce the application of laparoscopic technology in the reoperation of locally recurrent rectal cancer based on relevant research advances at home and abroad, in order to explore its clinical application prospects and promotion value.

Objective:To investigate the LOH at regions on chromosomal arm 8p22,11p15,17p13 and its relationship with clinicopathological parameters. Methods:Thirty-four paraffin-embedded tumor and corresponding noncancerous tissues were analysed. PCR was used to amplified three microsatellite markers D8S136,D11S988 and TP53 located at these chromosomal regions. PCR products were electrophoresed on 6%polyacrylamide gel and detected using silver staining. The P53, c-erBb-2,PR,ER status were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results:Of the three markers we studied, D8S136 was detected LOH at a frequency of 12 in 34 tumors(35.29%). D11S988 and TP53 were detected LOH at a frequency of 5 in 34 tumors(14.71%). There were no obvious associations between LOH at D11S988、TP53 and clinicopathological parameters, but the tumors with LOH at D8S136 were significant larger than that without LOH(P=0.0049). Conclusion: Invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast has a frequent LOH on chromosome 8p22. The loss or inactivation of putative tumor suppressor genes on 8p22 may contribute to the excessive growth of the tumors.

Objective To study and evaluate the MRI findings and their diagnostic value for breast carcinoma.Methods Preoperative contrast-enhanced MR imaging and mammography were performed in 12 patients who underwent surgery and were histopathologically proved with breast carcinoma.MR imaging findings were compared with clearly mammography.Results Twenty-one breast lesions in 12 cases were detected with MR imaging.Seventeen of the twenty-one lesions were detected with mammography.Contrast-enhanced MR imaging was superior to mammography to demonstrate lesions in these dense breasts.It could clearly indicate the extension of posterior breast carcinoma into the pectoralis major muscle and the metastases of parasternal lymphatic node,while it was difficult to evaluate with mammography.The "rim enhancement sign" might be valuable to diagnose breast carcinoma.Conclusion The sensitivity and accuracy of MR imaging is superior to that of mammography.Contrast-enhanced imaging of the breast is helpful not only in early diagnosis of breast carcinoma but also in staging breast carcinoma and planning therapy.
