To investigate the alleviating effect of glycyrrhizic acid(GA)on chronic toxicity of afla-toxin B1(AFB1)in ducklings.Eighty 4-day-old ducklings were randomly divided into 4 groups,with 20 ducklings in each group,including a blank group,a model group(100 μg/kg AFB1),a high-concentration GA group(100 μg/kg AFB1+100 mg/kg GA),and a low-concentration GA group(100 μg/kg AFB1+50 mg/kg GA),with a trial period of 18 days.At the end of the experi-ment,the body weight of the ducklings in each group,AFB1-DNA content in the liver and liver tis-sues index,the biochemical indicators of liver function,and the pathological changes in liver tissues were examined.Additionally,the oxidative damage status of the liver tissues was eval-uated,and the mRNA expression levels of mitochondria-related apoptosis genes was detected.Com-pared with the control group,the body weight of ducklings in the model group decreased signifi-cantly(P<0.01),AFB1-DNA content in the tissues increased significantly(P<0.05),liver swell-ing and yellowing were observed,the liver index increased significantly(P<0.01),as did the levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)(P<0.01).The AST/ALT levels also increased significantly(P<0.01),while the serum total protein(TP)content de-creased significantly(P<0.01).The liver tissues showed a large amount of inflammatory cell infil-tration,vacuolar degeneration,fibrotic changes and apoptosis.The activities of catalase(CAT),glutathione S-transferase(GST),the total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)of the duckling liver all decreased significantly(P<0.01)and the mRNA expression of mitochondria-related apoptosis genes Bax,Cyt-c,Caspase-3,and Caspase-9 significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,GA treatment significantly increased the body weight of the model ducklings(P<0.01),reduced AFB1-DNA content in the tissue,significantly reduced their liver index(P<0.05),visibly restored the liver's apparent status,effectively reversed the abnormal changes in serum liver function indicators,improved the pathological changes in liver tissue histology,enhanced liver an-tioxidant function,significantly decreased expression of Bax,Cyt-c,Caspase-3,and Caspase-9 mR-NA(P<0.05).Further correlation analysis showed that mRNA expression levels of Bax,Cyt-c,Caspase-3,and Caspase-9 in duck liver tissues were positively correlated with liver index,AFB1-DNA content,AST content,ALT content,AST/ALT ratio,and MDA content,and negatively cor-related with body weight,TP content,SOD activity,CAT activity,GST activity,and T-AOC activi-ty in ducklings.In conclusion,GA may alleviate liver damage to relieve duckling AFB1 chronic tox-icity by inhibiting the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the expression of microRNA (miR) -26a in human skin fibroblasts during photoaging induced by ultraviolet A (UVA) , and to evaluate the effect of up-or down-regulation of miR-26a expression on the methylation level of the whole genome, the target gene enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and cell aging.Methods:Some human skin fibroblasts were irradiated with 10 J/cm 2 UVA once a day for 7 consecutive days, RNA was extracted on days 0, 3 and 7, and real-time quantitative reverse PCR (RT-PCR) was performed to determine the expression of miR-26a; miR-26a mimics and inhibitors were transfected into fibroblasts to up-or down-regulate the expression of miR-26a respectively, and fluorescence microscopy and RT-PCR were performed to determine the expression of miR-26a and evaluate the transfection efficiency. Some human skin fibroblasts were divided into 6 groups: blank control group receiving no treatment, UVA group treated with UVA irradiation according to the above method, miR-26a mimic group transfected with miR-26a-mimics, UVA+miR-26a mimic group transfected with miR-26a-mimics followed by UVA irradiation, miR-26a inhibitor group transfected with miR-26a inhibitors, UVA+miR-26a inhibitor group transfected with miR-26a inhibitors followed by UVA irradiation. On day 7, cells in each group were collected after the end of UVA irradiation. Then, flow cytometry was performed to detect cell cycle, DNA methylation quantitative detection kit was used to detect the methylation level of whole genome, RT-PCR was conducted to determine the mRNA expression of EZH2 (a histone-lysine N-methyltransferase enzyme) , DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and miR-26a, and Western blot analysis was performed to determine the protein expression of EZH2 and DNMT1. Statistical analysis was carried out by using one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference- t test. Results:Compared with the unirradiated control group, the expression of miR-26a gradually increased in the UVA irradiation group over time during the culture, and there was a significant difference in the expression of miR-26a between the two groups after 7 days of UVA irradiation ( t=5.295, P < 0.05) . Strong fluorescence signals were observed in the miR-26a mimic-or miR-26a inhibitor-transfected fibroblasts, suggesting a high transfection efficiency. Flow cytometry showed that the proportion of cells at G1 phase significantly differed among the blank control group, UVA group, miR-26a mimic group, UVA+miR-26a mimic group, miR-26a inhibitor group, and UVA+miR-26a inhibitor group (52.82% ± 2.56%, 78.56% ± 4.34%, 53.63% ± 3.13%, 89.52% ± 4.17%, 54.39% ± 3.86%, 65.34% ± 4.78%, respectively; F=46.728, P < 0.01) , and significantly higher in the UVA group than in the blank control group ( t=8.848, P < 0.01) , higher in the UVA+miR-26a mimic group than in the miR-26a mimic group and UVA group ( t=11.922, 3.154, P < 0.01, < 0.05, respectively) , and higher in the UVA+miR-26a inhibitor group than in the miR-26a-inhibitor group ( t=3.087, P < 0.05) , but significantly lower in the UVA+miR-26a inhibitor group than in the UVA group ( t=3.547, P < 0.05) . Detection of the genome-wide methylation level showed that the methylation level ( A450 value) significantly differed among the above groups (0.676 ± 0.024, 0.323 ± 0.043, 0.506 ± 0.035, 0.169 ± 0.024, 0.602 ± 0.036, 0.422 ± 0.029, respectively, F=97.402, P < 0.01) , and significantly lower in the UVA group than in the blank control group ( P < 0.01) , lower in the UVA+miR-26a mimic group than in the miR-26a mimic group and UVA group (both P < 0.01) , and lower in the UVA+miR-26a inhibitor group than in the miR-26a inhibitor group ( P < 0.01) , but significantly higher in the UVA+miR-26a inhibitor group than in the UVA group ( P < 0.05) . RT-PCR and Western blot analysis showed significant differences in the mRNA and protein expression of EZH2 and DNMT1 respectively among the 6 groups (both P < 0.05) , which were significantly lower in the UVA group than in the blank control group ( P < 0.05) , lower in the UVA+miR-26a mimic group than in the miR-26a mimic group and UVA group (both P < 0.05) , and lower in the UVA+miR-26a inhibitor group than in the miR-26a inhibitor group ( P < 0.05) , but significantly higher in the UVA+miR-26a inhibitor group than in the UVA group ( P < 0.05) . Conclusion:In the UVA irradiation-induced photoaging of skin fibroblasts, miR-26a expression was up-regulated, cellular proliferative activity and genome-wide methylation level decreased; up-regulation of miR-26a expression could down-regulate the expression of its target gene EZH2 and methylation-related gene DNM1, and promote cell photoaging, while down-regulation of miR-26a expression could up-regulate the expression of EZH2 and DNMT1, and inhibit cell photoaging.

Objective To assess the efficacy of a long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd :YAG laser system in treating pediatric cutaneous hemangiomas. Methods 207 patients (20 days-10 years old,164 cases in pro-liferative phase and 43 in stationary phase) with cutaneous hemangiomas were divided into 2 groups ac-cording lesions. Group A contained 142 patients with lesions located in skin completely. Group B con-tained 65 patients, in which the lesions involved in subcutaneous portion. All patients were treated with single pulse shots by a long-pulsed 1 064 nm Nd :YAG laser, with 2 mm and 6 mm spot size in diameter, and with related energies from 50 to 90 J/cm~2 and pulse lengths of 10, 40 and 60 ms, respectively. All treatments were given at 1-month interval. Results After 1-6 times of treatment, there was no statistic significance of effective rate between group A and group B. Both general effective rates were 100%. The rate of side effects was 11.6 %, all of which recovered gradually. Conclusions The long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd : YAG laser offers efficient treatment of pediatric superficial cutaneous hemangiomas and side effects are minimal and transient.
