Objective:To investigate the protective effect of myrislignan（MRL）on concanavalin A（Con A）-induced autoimmune hepatitis（AIH）.Methods:C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following groups using a random number table，with five mice in each group：control group，MRL group，model group（Con A group），and MRL pretreatment group（MRL+Con A group）. MRL was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 30 μg/g；3 h after pretreatment，Con A（18 μg/g）was administrated by intravenous injection；mouse livers and serum samples were collected 12 h after injection for measuring serum transaminase levels and liver cell apoptosis. The mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-6，IL-12，and TNF-α were measured using qRT-PCR and ELISA. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the proportion and activation status of macrophages in liver tissues. Bone marrow-derived macrophages（BMDMs）were isolated and induced in vitro to analyze the regulatory effect of MRL on macrophages. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the differences in various indicators among groups. Results:Compared with the Con A group，MRL（30 μg/g）pretreatment significantly reduced alanine aminotransferase（ P<0.05）and aspartate transaminase（ P<0.01）levels，attenuated liver oxidative stress（increased superoxide dismutase activity，while decreased levels of malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase；all P<0.05），and suppressed hepatocyte apoptosis（ P<0.01）. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that MRL（30 μg/g）could reduce the proportion of M1 macrophages（ in vivo： P<0.05； in vitro：all P<0.001）and inhibit macrophage activation（ in vivo： P<0.01； in vitro：all P<0.05）. Conclusion:MRL effectively prevents Con A-induced autoimmune hepatitis by inhibiting liver cell apoptosis，attenuating liver oxidative stress，suppressing M1 macrophage polarization，and reducing inflammatory cytokine expression.

Objective To compare the efficacy of alkaline enzyme-containing versus multi-enzyme cleaner for pre-cleaning dental zinc phosphate cement fillers.Methods One hundred new dental cement fillers were selected and contaminated to moderate-to-heavy levels by simulating clinical contamination,and divided into the alkaline enzyme-containing group and the multi-enzyme group,with 50 cases in each group.The two groups underwent manual brushing followed by automated spray-type washer-disinfector cleaning.The effica-cy of the two groups of pre-cleaning were evaluated by naked-eye visual detection,10×illuminated magnifica-tion and residual protein quantification.Results The alkaline enzyme-containing group demonstrated signifi-cantly higher pass rates than the multi-enzyme group by naked-eye visual detection and 10×illuminated mag-nification(P<0.05),while there was no statistically significant difference in the residual protein quantifica-tion between the two groups(P>0.05).The qualified cleaning rates of the three parts of the instruments in the alkaline enzyme-containing group were all higher than those in the multi-enzyme group,but only the quali-fied cleaning rate of the handle threaded surface was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statisti-cally significant difference in the cleaning qualification rates of the instruments three parts of the alkaline en-zyme-containing group(P>0.05),while there was statistically significant difference in the cleaning qualifica-tion rates of the instruments three parts of the multi-enzyme group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the multi-enzyme cleaner,alkaline enzyme-containing cleaner has better effects in the pre-cleaning of zinc phosphate cement fillers.

Purpose: Four and a half LIM protein 1 (FHL1) is involved in breast cancer (BC) development, but the regulatory mechanism involved remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the role of FHL1 in BC development. Methods: The expression of FHL1, miR-183-5p, and miR-96-5p in BC tissues was analyzed using StarBase analysis. FHL1 expression in BC tissues, a normal human breast epithelial cell line, and BC cell lines was detected using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationship between FHL1 and miR-183-5p/miR-96-5p was analyzed via Pearson's rank correlation, TargetScan, and a dual-luciferase reporter assay. BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with either FHL1 and miR-183-5p mimics, or siFHL1 and a miR-183-5p inhibitor, respectively. The viability, colony number, migration, invasion, and tube length of BT549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were examined using cell counting kit-8, colony formation, wound-healing, Transwell, and tube formation assays, respectively. The levels of FHL1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), p53, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin were quantified using western blotting and qRT-PCR. Results: FHL1 expression was downregulated in BC tissues and cells, whereas miR-183-5p and miR-96-5p were upregulated in BC tissues (negative correlation with FHL1 expression).FHL1 overexpression inhibited the viability, colony number, migration, and invasion of BC cells and the expression of VEGF, N-cadherin, and vimentin, and increased the expression of FHL1, p53, and E-cadherin in BT549 cells. Furthermore, a miR-183-5p mimic reversed these effects of FHL1 overexpression, whereas FHL1 silencing caused opposite results to those observed in MDA-MB-231 cells; however, this was reversed by a miR-183-5p inhibitor. Conclusion Our study suggests that miR-183-5p promotes cell proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis by negatively regulating FHL1 in BC.

Background and objective Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody directed against epidermal growth fac-tor receptor. Emerging evidence showed improved effcacy with the addition of cetuximab to chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the data in oriental population are limited. hTe aim of this study is to investigate the eff-cacy of cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced NSCLC.Methods NSCLC patients receiving cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristic, effcacy, outcome and toxicity data were analyzed.Results A total of 40 patients were enrolled into this study in which 29 were male, 36 with adenocarcinoma. In the 23 patients who had received palliative chemotherapy previously (with a median of 2 prior chemotherapy regimens), the median progression-free survival (PFS) atfer the last prior chemotherapy regimen was 2.3 months. For the overall population, 13 (32.5%) patients achieved partial response atfer cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy. Response rate were 52.9% (9/17) and 17.4% (4/23) in chemotherapy-naive patients and chemotherapy-treated patients, respectively (P=0.018). hTe median PFS was 4.8 months for the overall population. In chemotherapy-naive patients and chemotherapy-treated patients, the median PFS was 8.4 months and 4.1 months, respectively (P=0.062). hTe estimated median overall survival was 17.1 months. Toxicities were generally manageable and no treatment-related deaths occurred.Conclusion Cetuximab in addition to che-motherapy appears to be associated with promising effcacy and acceptable toxicity proifle in Chinese patients with advanced NSCLC. Further validation is needed.

[Summary] To explore the mRNA expression of insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ),extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK),and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in greater omental adipose tissue of patients with metabolic syndrome and colorectal cancer.The mRNA expression of IGF-Ⅰ,ERK,and GLUT4 in greater omental adipose tissue of the subjects was measured by RT-PCR.(1) The mRNA expression level of IGF-Ⅰ and ERK in the metabolic syndrome group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P＜0.01),while in colorectal cancer subgroup the expression was significantly higher than that in the non-colorectal cancer subgroup (P＜ 0.01).The expression of GLUT4 was obviously lowered (P＜0.01).(2) The expression of ERK was positively correlated with that of IGF-Ⅰ (r =0.608,P＜0.01).The fasting insulin was positively correlated with the expression of ERK and IGF-Ⅰ(r =0.538,0.439,P ＜ 0.01),and negatively with that of GLUT4 (r =-0.457,P ＜ 0.01).There may be relationship between ERK plus IGF-Ⅰ and metabolic syndrome complicated with colorectal cancer.The lowered GLUT4 expression may be related to insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome.
