Objective To explore the influence of all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA) on in-vitro proliferation of human lung adeno-carcinoma cell line A549 and to preliminarily study its mechanism .Methods The human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 was taken as the experimental group .The cells in the experimental group and the control group were detected by using 3-(4 ,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2 ,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay for calculating the cell growth inhibition rate ;the microstructure of the cultured cells was observed by the transmission electron microscope technique ;the expression of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) in the cell supernate was detected by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay .Results The different concentrations of ATRA for treating A549 cells could produce the inhibiting effect on A 549 cells to some different degrees ,furthermore ,after 72 h ,the expression of COX-2 in cytoplasma among the various concentrations groups was significantly decreased ,which was positively correlated with the concentration ,the difference showing statistical significance (P< 0 .05);at the same time ,by detecting TRAIL expression level in the experimental group(1 × 10-5 mol/L ,1 × 10-4 mol/) ,the expression of TRAIL in the A549 cell supernate after ATRA treatment was increased .Conclusion ATRA has the significant anti-tumor effect on the lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 with the concen-tration-time dependence;ATRA in lung cancer tissue may play its anti-tumor effect by inducing apoptosis ,which can provide the theoretical basis for the treatment of lung cancer .

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been demonstrated to have neuroprotective effects in rat model with focal cerebral ischemia through anti-apoptotic pathways and by promoting proliferation of neural stem cells. In the present study, we examined the neuroprotective effect of G-CSF in an acute focal cerebral ischemia rat model with lipid metabolism disorder. Eighty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal diet control group (NC group) and high-fat diet group (HFD group) (n = 40 in each). In HFD group, rats were fed on high fat diet to induce atherosclerosis. After 29 days, 4 rats from each group were sacrificed to evaluate the effects of different diets, and the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was performed in the rest of the rats. MCAO rats received either G-CSF (50 μg·kg(-1)·mL(-1)) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) injection through the external jugular vein for 5 days, which was followed by 5-bromo-deoxy uridine (BrdU, i.p., 50 mg/kg) injection for another 7 days. To evaluate the effects of G-CSF treatment on neurological function, the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) was calculated. The vascular distribution, ischemic cells proliferation, cell apoptosis and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were measured to determine the effects of G-CSF treatment. Our results showed that G-CSF-treated rats had a lower mNSS than PBS-treated rats in both NC group and HFD group. G-CSF injection promoted endothelial cell proliferation and vascular regeneration, and inhibited cell apoptosis. The serum and tissue levels of VEGF were significantly increased after G-CSF treatment. It is concluded that G-CSF exerts its neuroprotective effect in focal cerebral ischemia rats with hyperlipidemia by enhancing angiogenesis, promoting cells proliferation, decreasing cell apoptosis, and increasing local VEGF expression.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of neutrophils/lymphocyte(NLR)and platelet/lymphocyte ratioof (PLR)peripheral blood in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.Methods Retrospectively analyzed 62 patients with PBC and three subgroup patients according to Child-pugh,who were hospitalized in Shanghai Changhai Hospital and Shanghai Changzheng Hospital from January 2010 to July 2015.Enrolled 59 healthy controls.Baseline data and laboratory indicators were extracted,and the correlation between PLR and NLR and disease activity were analyzed.The changes of NLR in 3 pa-tients with PBC were analyzed.3 patients were followed up and their NLRs were recorded before and after therapy.Results Compared with healthy controls,NLR was significantly increased in PBC patients (P<0.05),and not PLR (P>0.05). NLR was positively correlated with TBIL and Mayo risk (R=0.35,0.30,P<0.05),and not ALT,AST or ALP (P>0.05).After therapy,NLRs were significantly reduced in three PBC patients (P<0.05).Conclusion NLR may be a useful biomarker for assessing clinical therapy in PBC patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of Circulating tumor cells ( CTCs ) in peripheral blood cells of patients with different stages of Small-Cell Lung Cancer ( SCLC) ,and to evaluate its significance in early diagnosis of lung cancer metastasis.Methods Thirty-five patients with SCLC ( 12 in limited stage and 23 in extensive stage ) and 25 patients with benign lung disease were recruited at the Shanghai Changhai Hospital from April 2011 to April 2013.Samples were prepared from 7.5 ml peripheral venous blood and collected in CellSave tubes.The CTC counts were determined using CellTracks AutoPrep fluorescence scanning system according to the manufacturers′instructions.The expression of CTCs in peripheral blood of SCLC patients and benign lung disease patients were analyzed.The expression of CTCs in different stages of SCLC was measured and compared.Furthermore, samples were prepared from 2 ml peripheral venous blood by centrifugation.The serum levels of NSE Neuron specific enolase were measured.The relationship between the expression of CTC and NSE was analyzed.Results CTCs positive rates in SCLC were significantly higher than in benign lung disease controls [ Positive rates of CTC≥1 were 80.0%and 12.0%(χ2 =27.003,P<0.000 1),CTC≥5 were 51.4%and 0 (χ2 =18.367,P<0.000 1), CTC≥10 were 34.3%and 0(χ2 =10.714,P<0.001),CTC≥50 were 17.1 and 0(P=0.036,P<0.05), respectively ].CTCs positive rates in SCLC extensive stage were significantly higher than limited-stage [Positive rates of CTC≥1 were 58.3% and 91.3%(P=0.033,P<0.05), CTC≥5 were 65.2% and 25.0%(P=0.035,P<0.05), respectively].The expression of CTCs was significantly correlated with NSE (r=0.743 7, P<0.000 1).Conclusion The expression of CTC in SCLC patients is significantly higher than those in control group , and is closely related to clinical stages , which may provide new clues to early predicting of SCLC metastasis and deterioration.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features,diagnosis,treatment,prognosis and causative agent of a case of eumycetoma on the submaxilla.Methods A case of eumycetoma diagnosed in our department was assessed for its clinical and pathological features as well as mycologic and molecular identification.Related literature was reviewed.Results The patient was primarily characterized by swelling of the submaxilla,with multiple sinuses draining many black granules.Pathologic examination revealed a pyogenic granulomatous inflammation,and a number of lotus rhizome node-like hypha were observed in tissue samples through PAS staining.Sequence analysis of multiple loci of the isolates,including ITS 1,ITS2 and D1/D2,showed that it was mostly similar to Madurella mycetomatis with a homology of 97%.Conclusion This is a case ofeumycetoma on the submaxilla induced by a novel species of Madurella.

Objective To explore the prognostic impact of miR137 target gene Kruppel-like transcription factor 12 (KLF12) in multiple myeloma (MM). Methods The target genes of miR137 were predicted by software. The GFP analysis of KLF12 and the prognosis of MM were constructed. Overexpressing miR137 in MM NCI-H929 cell line was also constructed. Real-time qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of KLF12 in this cell line. Results The target genes of miR137 were MITF, BUE2H, SH3BP5 and KLF12. High expression of KLF12 in 455 patients included 75 patients (16.5 %) died, 104 patients with low expression of KLF12, and 25 patients (24.0 %) died, but no significance was detected in the different subgroups. KLF12 expression was higher in MM NCI-H929 cell line with miR137 over expression. The expression of miR137 was positively correlated with the expression of KLF12. Conclusion miR137-KLF12 is an important index to judge the prognosis of MM.
