ABSTRACT
Caveolin-1 (CAV-1) is related to inflammation, oxidative damage, and immunity. In order to obtain a series of dibenzoylmethane halophenols with strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects targeting CAV-1, twenty-nine target compounds were therefore synthesized by Baker-Ventaraman rearrangement and demethylation reaction, starting from the substituted benzoyl chloride and o-hydroxyacetophenone, and their interactions with CAV-1 were investigated by BLI technique. Their in vitro anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties were also evaluated. The results showed that compounds A6, A17, A18, and A29 not only specifically bind to CAV-1, but also present strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. These results suggest that this class of compounds can affect the signaling pathways related to inflammation and oxidative stress by directly acting on CAV-1. In particular, these compounds exhibit the most significantly inhibitory effects on IL-1β and COX-2 release. IL-1β plays a key regulatory role in the development of arthritis. Therefore, it is worth expecting for the application of such compounds in the prevention and treatment of arthritis.
ABSTRACT
Based on the needs of healthcare system reform, Australia has implemented activity based funding(ABF) payment mode nationwide, and established the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority as the specific implementation agency in 2011. The main responsibilities and functions of the ABF payment mode covers pricing of medical services, classification of healthcare services, collection of clinical data and cost accounting of healthcare services. ABF payment mode presents outstanding advantages in promoting the capacity of healthcare service, maintaining fairness of healthcare service supplies and carrying out cooperation across different institutions. These efforts provide important references for China in its top-level design of payment method, pilot project of classification system, medical service items and price dynamic adjustment, informationization and information standardization construction among public hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of Tai Ji Quan in the progress of rehabilitation training for elderly patients with heart failure after myocardial infarction. Methods:From January, 2017 to June, 2019, a total of 200 elderly patients with heart failure after myocardial infarction were divided into control group (n = 100) and experimental group (n = 100). The control group received routine medicine, and the experimental group received Tai Ji Quan exercise in addition. After 24-week treatment, their cardiac functional grading, plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and aldosterone (ALD), six minutes walking distance (6MWD), left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF), quality of life, and readmission rate and mortality rate were compared. Results:After treatment, the cardiac function was better in the experimental group than in the control group (χ2 > 5.143, P < 0.05); the plasma levels of BNP and ALD, 6MWD, LVEF and quality of life significantly improved (|t| > 9.883, P < 0.001), and were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 4.023, P < 0.001). The readmission rate and mortality rate were lower in the experimental group than in the control group, but no significant difference was found (P > 0.05). Conclusion:Tai Ji Quan exercise could improve the cardiac function, exercise tolerance and quality of life of the elderly patients with heart failure after myocardial infarction.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the correlation between down-regulation of miR-381-3p and inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of mouse embryonic palatal mesenchymal (MEPM) cells in 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced cleft palate of fetal mice. Methods: Thirty-two pregnant mice were randomly divided into TCDD group and control group, 16 in each group. On embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5), the pregnant mice in TCDD group were orally administrated with TCDD at dosage of 28 μg/kg, while the pregnant mice in control group received equivalent corn oil. The pregnant mice in each group were sacrificed on E13.5 and E14.5, fetal palates were collected for analysis. The expression of miR-381-3p was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and the protein expressions of runt- related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and osteopontin (OPN) were detected by Western blot. MEPM cells were extracted from fetal palates on E14.5 in control group and passaged. The 3rd passage cells were cultured with TCDD at dosage of 10 nmol/L for 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 days. The expression of miR-381-3p was detected after 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 days and the protein expressions of RUNX2 and OPN were detected after 0, 1, 2, and 3 days. Then, the 3rd passage cells were divided into 4 groups. The MEPM cells were transfected with miR-381-3p inhibitor (inhibitor group), NC inhibitor (NC inhibitor group) and miR-381-3p mimics (mimics group), NC mimics (NC mimics group) for 48 hours, respectively. And the expressions of miR-381-3p and the protein expressions of RUNX2 and OPN were detected. Results: On E13.5 and E14.5, 96 fetal mice in control group and 92 in TCDD group were obtained. The bilateral palates contacted in control group on E14.5, and a gap between the bilateral palates existed in TCDD group. On E13.5 and E14.5, the relative expressions of miR-381-3p and RUNX2 and OPN proteins were significant lower in TCDD group than in control group ( P0.05). The relative expressions of RUNX2 and OPN proteins at 1, 2, and 3 days were significantly lower than that at 0 day ( P<0.05). The relative expressions of miR-381-3p and RUNX2 and OPN proteins significantly lower in inhibitor group than in NC inhibitor group ( P<0.05) and higher in mimics group than in NC mimics group ( P<0.05). Conclusion: Down-regulation of miR-381-3p expression may be associated with inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of MEPM cells in TCDD-induced cleft palate of fetal mice.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the shielding effect that Tween has made on the erythrocyte’ s surface antigen( ABO and D antigen mainly) and the stability of the RBC. Methods Various types red blood cells’ surface antigens were incubated with different concentrations of Tween,then the titers of RBC’ s surface antigen before and after incubation were compared. The erythrocyte’ s function alterations and sta-bility through the morphological obersavation,the osmotic fragility,RBC’ s own hemolysis rate,oxygen saturation( SO2 ) ,routine test of blood as well as the supernatant of free hemoglobin determination were confirmed. Results The masking effect of the Tween-20 on D antigen with the weaken titer keeping above“ +” was better and more stable than that on A,B antigen. The impact on B antigen was a little worse,and A was the worst. The advantaged concentration is about 0. 004%. Besides,the influence of Tween-80’s on B and D antigen was not apparent e-nough. Among all of the concentration,0. 74% and 0. 80% did a relatively better job,which also could keep the weaken titer above “ +”. Conclulsion The shielding effect that Tween has made on the erythrocyte’ s surface antigen( ABO and D antigen mainly) is stable,which keeps above “ +”. The morphology and function of the RBC does not change.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the anatomical basis,safty and manipuility of the puncture technique through anterolateral cervical approach.Methods Twenty two embalmed cadavers and 50 patients who underwent operation through anterolateral cervical approach were used to observe the cervical anatomical characteristics.During the cadaver dissection and operation,the following information was observed:the movement of the carotid sheath while the visceral sheath was pushed left,the features of interspace between the two sheaths at each cervical level,the movement of the esophagus and the interfascial space in which the esophagus moved while the trachea was pushed medially,and the movement of the carotid sheath while it was pushed medially and laterally.From January 2007 to December 2011,206 patients diagnosed as cervical discogenic pain or cervical vertigo were treated by radiofrequency using puncture technique through anterolateral cervical approach,including 93 males and 113 females,aged from 22 to 71 years (average,48years).A total of 434 discs were involved.Results Both in cadaver dissection and in operation,the following results were observed:there was no natural interspace between the carotid sheath and visceral sheath below the C4 level,as a result,manual separation was needed to create a interspace between the two sheaths for the puncture; the two layers of the prevertebral fascia could be separated easily; keeping the visceral sheath intact,the esophagus moved following the trachea when the latter was pushed medially,and the movement of the visceral sheath relative to the cervical vertebra occurred between the two layers of prevertebral fascia; the carotid sheath was primarily constituted by continuation of the prevertebral fascia,as a result,the movement of the carotid sheath was limited by its own tension and the prevertebral fascia.A total of 434 cases of puncture to cervical disc were performed smoothly with no complications related to the carotid artery,esophagus and cervical disc.Conclusion The puncture technique through anterolateral cervical approach requires a correct,thorough understanding of the anterior cervical anatomy,based on which this technique is safe and feasible.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect on lung injury of gefitinib or/and radiation.Methods Totally 160 mice were divided into five groups:control (C) ;gefitinib (G) ;radiation (R) ;gefitinib followed by irradiation ( G + R) ;and R + G.12 Gy irradiation was delivered.Geiitinib fed by 200 mg/kg once daily for 3 weeks.Mice were sacrificed on 1,2,4 or 6 months after radiation.Macrophage count of lung lavage fluid and hydroxyproline assessed,lung fibrosis scored.and plasma TGF-β1 concentration assayed.One-way ANOVA was used to test the significance. Results The lung lavage macrophage cell number were significantly higher in group R,R + G and G + R than group C ( q =2.95 - 8.61,all P ＜ 0.05 ) on 4 and 6months,yet no significant difference between the three groups ( q =0.37 -3.49,all P ＜ 0.05 ) ; The macrophage was significantly lower in month 1,4 and 6 in group G than R,R + G and G + R ( q =3.37- 6.25,all P ＜ 0.05 ).The hydroxyproline content and the fibrosis score of G,R,R + G and G + R were significantly higher than C ( q =3.14 - 4.76,all P ＜ 0.05 ),but no significant difference between the four groups ( q =0.70 - 4.19,all P ＞ 0.05 ).The TGF-β1 concentration of R,G + R,R + G at all time points and TGF-β1 concentration of G at 1 st and 2nd months were significantly higher than C ( q =3.76 -8.09,all P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsGefitinib could cause lung fibrosis in vivo in BalB/C mouse.The combination of gefitinib and radiation did not significantly exacerbate lung injury caused byeither alone.The mechanism of lung fibrosis caused by gefitinib might be different from that by radiation which needs further research.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of an antifibrotic drug, pirfenidone, in preventing radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Methods Male BALB/C mice were randomized into 4 groups:control group (C), radiation alone group (R), pirfenidone alone group (P), and pirfenidone plus radiation group (P + R). Irradiation was administrated to the whole pulmonary with a single fraction of 12 Gy. The pirfenidone was given 0. 3 ml/kg/d from 3 days prior to irradiation to 12 weeks after.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from right lung was collected for macrophages counting every monthmonthly until 6 months after irradiation, and left lungs were collected and fixed for. The pulmonary fibrosis was assessed by Masson trichrome staining. The plasma transforming growth factor β(TGF-β) was measured by ELISA. The lung hydroxyproline was evaluated by alkaline solution. Results Compared to group R, the counts of macrophages in BALF in group P + R were reduced by 76% and 62%, and hydroxyproline levels were reduced by 21% and 24% at the 4th and 5th months, respectively. The plasma TGF-β decreased from the 3rd month to 5th month. Pirfenidone markedly ameliorated the severity of lung fibrosis at the 4 - 6th month after radiation. Conclusions Pirfenidone can prevent radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis, the mechanism of which may be the reduced of inflammation and collagen deposition by decreasing macrophages and hydroxyproline.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the radiobiological effect of different irradiation fractionated regimens in human glioma cells ( BT 325 cell line). Methods The xenografts in Balb/c-nude mice were irradiated with different single and fractionated regimens. The single fraction dose was 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60 Gy, respectively. The fractionated regimens were 2 Gy × 5 fractions ( irradiated every day), and 3 Gy ×3 fractions (irradiated every other day), 3 Gy × 5 fractions (irradiated every day) and 4 Gy × 3 fractions (irradiated every other day), with total doses of 125 Gy, 114 Gy, 126 Gy and 112 Gy, respectively. The growth curve was used to evaluate the tumor doubling time. clonogenic assays was performed to draw the cell survival curve and analyze the radiobiological parameters with doses of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 Gy. T1/2 was measured by comet assay. Results Tumor regression were not observed by single fraction irradiation, 2 Gy × 5 fractons and 3 Gy × 3 fractions irradiation regimens. The tumor regress was more significant with the increas of fraction dose. The 4 Gy × 3 fractionrs inhibited tumor more though not curing tumor. The cell doubling time of the BT 325 cell was 30. 16 h and the tumor doubling time of the xenograft was 43 days.When fitted with L-Q model ,α was 0. 36 Gy -1 and β was 0. 057 Gy -2. When fitted with the single-hit multitarget model, D0 was 1. 394 Gy, Dq was 2. 127 Gy and SF2 was 0. 714, respectively. The T1/2 was 9. 999min. Conclusions Glioma is a radioresistant tumor. Increase of the fraction dose improves recent effect.Further study is needed to control the tumor stem cells.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) on differentiation of HL-60 cells and its possible molecular mechanism. HL-60 cells were co-cultured with different concentrations of HMBA (0.5, 1, 2 mmol/L) for 4 days, then the proliferation was assayed by MTT at different time points. Wright-Giemsa staining was used to observe the change in morphology. Cell differentiation antigen CD11b expression and the altered distribution of cell cycle in HL-60 induced by HMBA were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expressions of c-myc, mad1, p21, p27, hTERT and HDAC1 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. The results indicated that the proliferation of HL-60 cells was inhibited by HMBA in a time-and-dose-dependent manner. Upon 2 mmol/L HMBA treatment, the HL-60 cells arrested at G(0)/G(1) phase and differentiated into granular line in morphology, with the up-regulation of CD11b expression. The expression of c-myc and hTERT mRNA obviously down-regulated, the expression of p21, p27 and mad1 mRNA up-regulated, while there was no change of the expression of hTERT mRNA. It is concluded that effect of HMBA on the differentiation of HL-60 cells may partly contribute to switch from c-myc to mad1 expression, to up-regulate expressions of p21 and p27 mRNA, and down-regulate hTERT mRNA expression, while there is no relation with the expression of HDAC1 mRNA.

Objective To impmve the method of "modified comet assay" in predicting the radiosensitivitv of solid tumor. Methods A single cell suspension from biopsy sample was lmdlated on ice with a dose of 5 Gy.The microscope slide was spread with agarose,lysed for 50 minutes,rinsed 3 times rinse solution,and given electrophoresis for 20 minutes. After being stained with PI,cell images were collected through the microscope and analyzed with Lucia G software(Version 4.6).In order to check system/ background errors,every sample was made into control slide and irradiation slide.The end-points were cell DNA contents and tail moment. Results The factors influencing the results included:(1)Sample was iaulty tor the biopsv taken from mucosa and no tumor cells were contained. (2)The slides with a high backgmund ( induced by necrosis) disturbed the measurement of comet assay. (3) Setting lymphocytes as control to check svstem errors was very important. (4)To separately collect images of the normal tissue cells and tumor cells from the biopsy sample improved the conformity between the clinical obscrvation and the lab result. Conclusions To increase the correlation between comet assay and clinical response,it is very helpful to set double control for checking system/background errors and to collect images of the normal tissue cells and tumor cells through the microscope,respectively.
