Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drpl) is a major protein for regulating mitochondrial fission.Its activity is associated with the post-translational modification,mainly including phosphorylation,ubiquitination,sumoylation,and S-nitrosylation.During the cerebral ischemia,Drpl is activated and translocates from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial outer membrane,mediates mitochondrial fission and eliminates damaged mitochondria.Drpl plays the important roles in the pathological processes of ischemic neuronal apoptosis,necrotic apoptosis,and mitophagy.Excessive mitochondria fission or accumulation of damaged mitochondria will aggravate neuronal injury.

Objective To study the effect of Sirtuin1 (Sirt1) on the pathological process through its activity of deacetylation to improve the clinical outcome of acute sepsis. After searching data base, microRNA-211 (miR-211) was found to have action potentially targeting at Sirt1.The present study aimed to find the interaction between miR-211 and Sirt1 in the pathogenesis of hypoxic injury to cardiomyocytes in the presence of lipopolysaccharide ( LPS ) . Methods Primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes ( NRC ) isolated from neonatal SD rats and H9c2 ( cardiomyocytes after culture with 10% fetal serum of cattle and DMEM under 37 ℃ and 5% CO2 ) cell line were used in the experiments.The miR-211 expression was quantified by qRT-PCR after LPS exposure for 4 hours, and the changes in Sirt1 protein level were also detected in both NRC and H9c2 by western blot.At the same time, CCK-8 assay and TUNEL staining were also performed to measure cell proliferation and apoptosis activation when either treated with LPS alone or followed by exposure to hypoxia.Results Compared to the control group, the doses of 20μg/mL, 40μg/mL LPS treatment for 4 hours had no significant effects on H9c2 cell proliferation at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, but it could significantly induce the cell apoptosis of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and H9c2 cells after hypoxia, and the apoptosis rate increased all over 100% in both NRC and H9c2.At the same time, LPS treatment could significant up-regulate miR-211 expression which was closely associated with decrease in Sirt1 protein levels.Conclusions LPS enhanced cardiomyocytes injury after exposure to hypoxia which was closely associated with up-regulating miR-211 expression and in turn to suppress Sirt1 expression.

Objective Postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis(PPVS) is a severe complication after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) repair,and represents a significant surgical challenge with a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis.This study was performed to analysis the morphological patterns of pulmonary vein stenosis after TAPVC,and to demonstrate the relationships between the pathological patterns with their clinical manifestations,pathogenesis,surgical options and their prognosis.Methods Between March,2004 to September,2011,11 consecutive patients with PPVS underwent reoperations.Supracardiac type in 5 cases,intracardiac type in 3 cases,mixed type in 1 case,single ventricle associated with supracardiac type in 1 case and infracardiac type in 1 cases.The age was 23 days to 28 months,body weight at the first operation was 5-19 kg,the median weight (10.7 ± 5.1) kg.The age at reoperation was 4 months to 6 years,the interval between the first and second operation was 82 days to 5 years.Morphological patterns of PPVS was classified into 4 types based on the preoperative imaging examinations and surgical findings:(1) anastomic stenosis (type Ⅰ),(2) ostial stenosis of individual pulmonary vein (type Ⅱ),(3) segemental stenosis of individual pulmonary vein (type Ⅲ),(4) complete occulsion of individual pulmonary vein (type Ⅳ).One or more pathological patterns may exit in one patient,and may involved one or more individual pulmonary veins.Fibrous resection in 1 case,patch augmentation in 3 cases,individual pulmonary endarterectomy in 7 cases and sutureless technique in 5 cases.Cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia were used in 8 cases,with deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest in 3 cases.Results Type Ⅰ in 2 cases,type Ⅱ in 2 cases,type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ in 1 cases,type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ in 1 case,type Ⅱ and Ⅲ in 2 cases,type Ⅱ and Ⅳ in 1 case and type Ⅳ in 2 cases were found in our series.There was no early mortality,I case with residual anastomic obstruction and 2 cases with individual pulmonary vein obstruction.One patient died 17 monthes after reoperation,and the intermediate mortality was 10%.Reoperation was done in 1 case for recurrent pulmonary vein obstruction.Two patients need ViagTa or Bosentan for long time.The others did well during follow-up.Conclusion PPVS is a kind of progressive disease.The morphological patterns of PPVS are related to their clinical presentations and its pathogenesis,and are very important to make surgical decisions and pridict the patient's prognosis.

Objective To investigate the Fsp27 gene's influence on the regulation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in vitro.Methods HSCs were isolated from rat liver,the Fsp27 gene was detected in primary HSCs,and activated HSCs were detected by RT-qPCR.After 72 h of Fsp27 transduction through a lentivirus expressing Fsp27 (pLV-Fsp27),the proliferation of HSCs was tested by the CCK-8 test kit,smooth muscle α-actin (α-SMA) expression of HSCs was tested by Western blot,and the fibrosis-related genes were tested by RT-qPCR.Results The HSCs were isolated and cultured successfully,and the Fsp27 genetic difference between primary and activated HSCs was significant (P<0.01).After coculture for 72 h,Fsp27 inhibited the proliferation and activation of HSCs (P<0.05).Fsp27 can enhance expression of the MMP-2 gene and down-regulate expression of the TIMP-1 and TGF-β1 gene in activated HSCs (P<0.05).Conclusion The Fsp27 gene can inhibit the proliferation and activation of HSCs,regulate the expression of fibrosis-related genes,and may play an important role in maintaining the quiescent phenotype of HSCs.

Objective To investigate the effect of capsaicin on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and liver fibrogenesis.Methods HSCs were cultured.The reactive oxygen in HSCs under capsaicin at different concentrations was tested by DCFH-DA kit.The proliferation of HSCs was detected by CCK-8 test kit.Smoothmuscle α-actin (α-SMA) expression of HSCs was evaluated by Western blot.The fibrosisrelated genes were tested by RT-PCR.The apoptosis of HSCs was measured by flow cytometer.Bcl-2,bax and cyt-c was detected by Western blot.A murine model of liver fibrogenes was established.Capsaicin of different concentration was injected intraperitoneally.Liver pathology was observed using HE staining.Hydroxyproline content of liver and levels of collagen Ⅲ and hyaluronic acid in serum were tested.Results In dose dependent manner capsaicin inhibited the generation of the reactive oxygen species.Proliferation and activation of HSCs was inhibited by capsaicin (respectively F =13.267,57.392,all P < 0.05) and the apoptosis of HSCs was promoted by capsaicin (F =235.571,P < 0.05).Bax,cyt-c and caspase-3 was increased obviously (respectively F =29.334,38.274,138.329,all P < 0.05).Capsaicin changed the expression of fibrosis-related genes (TGF-β1,TIMP-1) in HSCs (respectively F =376.534,253.751,all P <0.05).Capsaicin downregulated the level of hydroxyproline,collagen Ⅲ and hyaluronic acid in the rat model (respectively F =153.397,27.149,38.392,all P < 0.05).Conclusions Capsaicin inhibits the proliferation and activation of hepatic stellate cells.Capsaicin promotes the apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells,and inhibits liver fibrogenesis.
