OBJECTIVE To investigate the regulation of {O2 (2,4-dinitrophenyl)1-〔(4-ethoxycarbonyl) piperazin-1-yl〕diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate}(JS-K), anitric oxide donor, on tumor energy metabolism in H22 tumor- bearing mice. METHODS The hepatoma animal model in BALB/c mice was established with H22 cell line. The JS-K group and model group were received JS-K (0.75 and 1.5 mg?kg-1) and saline via tail intravenous once every 3 d for 14 d, received 5 injections, respectively. The positive group was received 5-FU 20 mg·kg- 1 by intraperitoneal injection once a day for 14 d. On the 15th day mice were sacrificed. The tumor growth inhibition rate were calculated. The activities of hexokinase (HK), phospho?fructo kinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), and the levels of lactic acid (LD) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in tumor tissues were de?termined by colorimetric method. RESULTS Compared with model group, the tumor mass of JS- K 0.75 and 1.5 mg·kg- 1group was significantly reduced (P<0.01),and the tumor growth inhibition rate was 23.9% and 50.3%, respectively. The activity of HK, PFK, PK, SDH and ATPase of tumor tissue in model group was (22.6±3.7, 14.4±2.6, 12.9±3.2 and 10.5±2.6)U·g-1 protein and (0.70±0.10)μmolPi·mg-1 protein per hour, respectively; which in JS-K 1.5 mg?kg-1 group was dropped by 42.0%, 26.6%, 22.7%, 23.3% and 21.7% (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the level of ATP and LD in JS-K group was dropped (P<0.01). CONCLUSION JS-K can inhibit the growth of tumor in H22 tumor-bearing mice and its mechanism may be related to regulating the tumor energy metabolism with inhibition of glycolysis and aerobic oxidation.

Objective: To establish the cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) model by coarctation of abdominal aorta (CAA) with renal ischemia reperfusion injury (RIRI), and to observe the mRNA expression of pro-renin receptor [(P)RR] in experimental rats. Methods: A total of 42 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Sham group, CAA group, RIRI group and CAA+RIRI group.n=10 in each group, 2 rats died during the modeling and all animals were treated for 16 weeks. Blood levels of BNP, creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (BUN), the activity of rennin, the contents of angiotensin-I (AT-I), AT-II and aldosterone were examined by laboratory test. The diastolic end inter-ventricular septum thickness (DEIVST), DELVPT, LVEF, ventricular weight index (VWI) and cardiac weight index were detected by small animal echocardiography. The histological changes of myocardium and kidney tissue were measured by HE staining, and the mRNA expressions of pro-renin receptor in myocardium and kidney tissues were measured by RT-PCR. Results: Compared with Sham group, blood levels of BNP were increased in the other 3 groups,P<0.05; compared with CAA group, CAA+RIRI group had increased levels of Cr and BUN,P<0.01; compared with Sham group and RIRI group, CAA+RIRI group showed increased blood level of aldosterone,P<0.05. Compared with CAA group, CAA+RIRI group presented increased rennin activity,P<0.05. Blood levels of AT-I and AT-II were not signiifcantly increased among 3 operation groups,P>0.05. Compared with CAA group, CAA+RIRI group had more obvious changes of DEIVST and LVEF,P<0.01. Compared with RIRI group, CAA+RIRI group had more obvious ventricular hypertrophy, higher VWI and cardiac weight index, allP<0.05. HE staining presented that CAA+RIRI group had broadening of myocardial cell bundle space, decreased left renal index, severe tubular atrophy and partial glomerular atrophy. RT-PCR demonstrated that compared with Sham group, the mRNA expressions of pro-renin receptor in myocardium and kidney tissues were decreased in the other 3 groups. Conclusion: Combined CAA+RIRI method may damage the cardial and renal tissues at the same time which was more severe than either CAA or RIRI. While CAA+RIRI model has better controllability and higher consistency that provides a methodological reference for pro-renin receptor in treating CRS in experimental rat’s model.

To evaluate the visual performance of the patients with traumatic corneal astigmatism, after the treatment of topography guided off-flap epipolis laser in situ keratomileusi (off-flap Epi-LASlK).
●METHODS: This prospective clinical study was comprised of 21 eyes of 21 patients with irregular corneal astigmatism caused by trauma, they were treated by off-flap Epi - LASlK from July 2012 to December 2013. The data included uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA), best spectacle - corrected visual acuity ( BSCVA ), contrast sensitivity 1, 6mo before and after surgery; the healing area percentage of corneal epithelia, the healing time of corneal epithelia and pain score at 3d after surgery.
●RESULTS: Postoperative 1mo both UCVA and BSCVA were improved significantly than that before surgery (t =15. 703, 4. 351, P< 0. 05); Compared with the 1mo after surgery, UCVA at 6mo after surgery raised significantly (t= 6. 867, P <0. 05). There was no statistical significance between 6 and 1mo after surgery about BSCVA (t= 1. 497, P = 0. 140 ). After surgery, mean spherical equivalent (SE) was reduced from -2. 43±3. 02D to -0. 23±0. 49D (P<0. 05), and the mean cylinder was reduced from -1. 86± 2. 23D to - 0. 46 ± 1. 03D (P< 0. 05). Postoperative 1mo,4 kinds of spatial frequency and contrast sensitivity had no significant difference compared with the preoperative (P>0. 05 ). Postoperative 6mo except the 3c/ d spatial frequency, the remaining 3 spatial frequency contrast sensitivity compared with those before operation were significantly improved ( P < 0. 05 ). The healing area percentage of corneal epithelia was 92. 46% ±8. 24% (80% -100%) at 3d after surgery; The healing time of corneal epithelia was 3. 50 ± 1. 56d; Pain scores at 3 and 7d after surgery was 1. 54±1. 32 and 0. 04±0. 64, respectively.
●CONCLUSlON: Topography-guided off-flap Epi-LASlK is safe and effective in treating the patients with traumatic corneal irregular astigmatism. The operation can improve both the contrast sensitivity and the visual performance.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the protective effect of Danxuetong injection (DXT, a combination of Danshen and Xueshuantong injections) against testicular ischemia-reperfusion injury following testis torsion/detorsion in rats.
METHODSThirty-two 4-week-old healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups of equal number: sham operation, normal saline, single DXT injection, and successive DXT injection. The rat models of testicular ischemia-reperfusion injury were established by 2-hour 720-degree torsion/detorsion of the unilateral testis. At 6 weeks after modeling, the rats were killed and their testes were harvested for measure- ment of testicular coefficients, sperm counts, sperm motility, and the levels of total anti-oxidative capacity (T-AOC) , superoxide dismutase (SOD) , nitric oxide synthase (NOS) , and malondialdehyde ( MDA) in the testis tissue.
RESULTSCompared with the rats of the normal saline group, those of the single DXT injection and successive DXT injection groups showed significant increases in the testicular coefficient (0.11 ± 0.03 vs 0.35 ± 0.04 and 0.40 ± 0.06, P < 0.05), sperm count ([0.46 ± 0.10] vs [1.44 ± 0.50] and [3.00 ± 1.28] x10(9)/ml, P < 0.05), sperm motility ([13.63 ± 14.04] vs [39.63 ± 5.04] and [76.31 ± 3.67]%, P < 0.05), the activity of SOD (72.76 ± 5.58 vs 116.25 ± 8.83 and 133.20 ± 13.84, P < 0.05), and the level of T-AOC (5.58 ± 1.07 vs 13.34 ± 5.81 and 19.21 ± 5.69, P < 0.05), but a remarkable decrease in the content of MDA (42.38 ± 8.94 vs 20.94 ± 5.65 and 15.02 ± 1.03, P < 0. 05) in the injured testes.
CONCLUSIONDXT can effectively rid the testis tissue of oxygen free radicals, improve sperm count and motility by antioxidation, and protect the testis tissue of prepubertal rats against testicular ischemia-reperfusion injury after testis torsion/detorsion. It also has a protective effect on the contralateral testis, and successive injection has a better effect than single injection of DXT.

Objective No consensus has yet been achieved on the relationship of serum albumin with the functional out-come of acute ischemic stroke.The aim of our study was to determine whether the serum albumin level was associated with the short-term functional outcome of acute ischemic stroke in well-nourished patients. Methods Totally, 113 patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke were recruited from Nanjing Stroke Registration Program between January and June 2015.Baseline data including de-mographic and body parameters, vascular risk factors, and laboratory results were collected.The NIH Stroke Scale ( NIHSS) was used to evaluate the severity of neurological deficits and the modified Rankin Scale ( mRS ) employed to assess the short-term functional outcome.According to the mRS at discharge, the patients were divided into a good outcome group ( mRS<3 ) and a poor out-come group ( mRS≥3 ) .The independent predictors of the short-term functional outcome were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Of the 113 acute ischemic stroke patients included, 52 (46.0%) were in the good outcome group, and 61 (54.0%) in the poor outcome group.Those in the former group had a significantly higher BMI, lower serum LDL-C, lower WBC count, and lower NIHSS at admission than those in the latter .Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low serum albumin, NIHSS at admission, and arteriole occlusion were independent predictors of the poor short-term functional outcome ( OR=0.684, 95% CI:0.490-0.956, P=0.026). Conclusion Low serum albumin is an independent predictor of poor short-term functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients in well-nourished status.
