OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of resveratrol (RSV) on the proliferation of multiple myeloma (MM) cells and its molecular mechanism.@*METHODS@#MM cells (MM1.S, RPMI-8226 and U266) were treated with different concentrations of RSV for 24-72 h. The effect of RSV on the proliferation of MM cells was detected by CCK-8 (cell counting kit-8) assay. RPMI-8226 cells were divided into RSV, miR-21 mimic, RSV+miR-21 mimic, miR-21 inhibitor and RSV+miR-21 inhibitor groups, and transfected with corresponding plasmids. The cell cycle distribution of each group was detected by flow cytometry with propidium iodide (PI) single staining. The cell apoptosis of each group was detected by AnnexinV-FITC/PE-PI double staining. The expression of miR-21 in MM cells treated with RSV and the expression of KLF5 mRNA in each group were detected by qRT-PCR. The expression of KLF5 protein in each group was detected by Western blot.@*RESULTS@#RSV inhibited the proliferation and induced apoptosis of MM cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. After the MM cells were treated with RSV, the number of cells in sub-G1 phase was increased, and that in G2/M phase was decreased. Moreover, RSV significantly downregulated the expression of miR-21 in MM cells, and the inhibitory effect of miR-21 mimic on KLF5 expression in MM cells was counteracted by RSV.@*CONCLUSION@#RSV may inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of MM cells by inhibiting miR-21 and up-regulating KLF5 expression.

Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of LASP1 gene expression on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human colorectal cancer (LOVO) cells. Methods LASP1 overexpression plasmids and LASP1 interference plasmids were constructed and transfected to LOVO cells. qRT-PCR was used to detect LASP1 mRNA expression and validate the transfection. MTT method and Tunel staining were used to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively, and scratch test and Transwell test were employed to determine the migration and invasion abilities of cells. Western blot was applied to analyze the expression of LASP1, p-FAK/FAK, and p-AKT/AKT protein in cells. Results The plasmids were successfully transfected. LASP1 overexpression increased the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LOVO cells, decreased the apoptosis, and increased LASP1, p-FAK/FAK, p-AKT/AKT protein expression (P < 0.01). LASP1 knockdown reduced the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LOVO cells, increased the apoptosis, and decreased LASP1, p-FAK/FAK, and p-AKT/AKT protein expression (P < 0.01). Conclusion LASP1 positively regulates the FAK/AKT signaling pathway to promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LOVO cells.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) from patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blastic phase (Bp) on K562 cells and the primary CML-Bp cells, and to explore its potential mechanisms. K562 cells and primary CML-Bp cells were co-cultured with BMMSC of different groups; the cell proliferation was detected by MTT method, the cell apoptosis rate and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by flow cytometry, the expression levels of Caspase-8, Caspase-9, and activated Caspase-3 in cells were measured by Western blot. The results showed that the CML-Bp BMMSC could enhance the survival rate of K562 cells treated with adviamycin (ADM) and display protective effect on K562 cells and primary CML-Bp mononuctear cells, inhibited ADM-induced leukimia cell apoptosis (P < 0.05); as compared with CML-chronic phase (CML-Cp) BMMSC and normal BMMSC, the CML-Bp BMMSC showed the highest protective effect on leukemic cells, the mitochondrial membrane potential of co-cultured cells slightly droped (P < 0.05). In the CML-Bp BMMSC cultured with K562 cells, the expression level of caspase-3 was more down-regulated than that in K562 alone plus ADM group, while the expression of caspase-9 significantly increased (P < 0.05). It is concluded that the CML-Bp BMMSC down-regulates ADM-induced leukemia cell appoptosis, its mechanism may relate with the inhibition of mitochondrial membrane potential drop, the stabilization of unactive expression of caspase-9 and down-regulation of caspase-3 expression.

Objective To study the effects of quantitative 24-hour urinary protein on the thyroid hormone levels in patients with severe preeclamp-sia,and clarify the impact of severe urinary protein on hypothyroid in severe preeclampsia patients. Methods A total of 166 patients with severe pre-eclampsia were recruited for the study and divided into mild proteinuria group(2.0-4.9 g/d),midrange group(5-10 g/d)and severe group(>10 g/d)according to the quantitative 24-hour urinary protein. 268 healthy female individuals with normal blood pressure and uric routine in the same stage of pregnancy and of the same age were selected into control group. Serum thyrotropin(TSH),free triiodothyronine(FT3)and free thyroxine (FT4)levels were determined by solid-phase chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay method(CMIA). The thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb)concentration were detected by electrochemiluminescent assay(ECLIA). Results TSH levels were signifi-cantly higher in patients comparing to the control group(P0.05). The incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism and clinical hypothyroidism in severe group was significantly higher than that in mild group and in control group(OR=2.5,P<0.05 and OR=9.0,P<0.05;OR=8.0,P<0.01 and OR=43.4,P<0.01). Conclusion Our re-sults indicated that 24-hour urine protein in severe preeclampsia patients has extensive effects on thyroid hormones levels. With the increasing of quantitative 24-hour urinary protein,the level of TSH increased and the FT4 decreased. Thyroid autoantibody positiveness has extensive effects on 24- hour urine protein. Incidence of hypothyroid increased with the increase of quantitative 24-hour urinary protein. 24-hour urinary protein quantitative was a risk factor for hypothyroidism in severe preeclampsia patients. More attention should be paid to the monitoring of 24-hour urinary protein in se-vere preeclampsia patients.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the influence of high-voltage electrical burn (HEB) on the aggregation and adhesion of platelet and leukocyte in rats and the interventional effect of pentoxifylline (PTX).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and eighty SD rats were divided into control, electrical burn (EB), and pentoxifylline treatment (PT) groups according to the random number table, with 60 rats in each group. (1) Ten rats were taken from each group at 15 minutes before injury for the observation of the microcirculatory perfusion of chest skin with Laser Doppler Perfusion Imager (LDPI), and the number of leukocyte adherent to mesenteric venule with Bradford Variable Projection Microscope (BVPM). Serum was collected from heart blood to determine the contents of platelet activating factor (PAF), thromboxane B2 (TXB2), prostacyclin (PGI2), P-selectin, E-selectin and L-selectin by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The ratio of TXB2 to PGI2 was calculated therefrom. (2) Model of HEB was reproduced in the remaining 50 rats of EB group and that of PT group with voltage regulator and experimental transformer (the electrical current applied to the left forelimb and exited from the right hind limb). The remaining 50 rats of control group were sham injured with the same devices without electric current. Within 2 minutes post injury (PIM), rats in control group and EB group were intraperitoneally injected with 2 mL isotonic saline, while rats in PT group were intraperitoneally injected with 2 mL pentoxifylline (50 mg/mL). At PIM 5 and 1, 2, 4, 8 hour(s) post injury (PIH), 10 rats of every group were randomly chosen at each time point for the observation of the microcirculatory perfusion of chest skin and the number of leukocytes adherent to mesenteric venule through the same method as used above, and the levels of the related factors of aggregation and adhesion of platelets and leukocytes were determined, and then the relative ratio was calculated. Data were processed with the analysis of variance of factorial design and LSD test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The contents of PAF, TXB2, PGI2, P-selectin, E-selectin, L-selectin, and the ratio of TXB2 to PGI2, as well as the number of adhered leukocyte in EB group were higher, while the microcirculatory perfusion value was lower than those of control group, with F values from 854.20 to 8156.52, P values all below 0.01. The microcirculatory perfusion value and PGI2 content of PT group were higher, while the contents or number of other indexes were lower than those of EB group, with F values from 33.18 to 1033.99, P values all below 0.01. Only the data within EB group and PT group were comparable. The contents of PAF, TXB2, PGI2, P-selectin, E-selectin, L-selectin, and the ratio of TXB2 to PGI2, as well as the number of adhered leukocyte in EB group and PT group at each time point were significantly higher than those at 15 minutes before injury, while the microcirculation perfusion value was significantly lower than that at 15 minutes before injury (P values all below 0.001), with the exception of the ratio of TXB2 to PGI2 in PT group and E-selectin in EB group and PT group at PIM 5. The contents of PAF, TXB2, and E-selectin and the ratio of TXB2 to PGI2 in EB group peaked at PIH 4, and they were respectively (9.3 ± 0.9) ng/mL, (14.31 ± 0.65) nmol/mL, (271.2 ± 18.4) ng/mL and 4.62 ± 0.26. The contents of PGI2 and P-selectin, and the number of adhered leukocyte in EB group peaked at PIH 8, and they were respectively (3.98 ± 0.24) nmol/mL, (514 ± 24) ng/mL, and (25.50 ± 4.14) per 100 µm venule. The content of L-selectin peaked at PIH 2 [(876 ± 54) ng/mL]. The microcirculatory perfusion value was lowest at PIM 5 [(1.17 ± 0.10) V].</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>HEB can increase the contents of PAF, TXB2, PGI2, P-selectin, E-selectin, L-selectin, the ratio of TXB2 to PGI2, and the number of adhered leukocyte, as well as decrease the skin microcirculatory perfusion value. PTX can inhibit the aggregation and adhesion of platelets and leukocytes through increasing the content of PGI2 and decreasing contents of other factors mentioned above, thus alleviating the microcirculatory dysfunction after HEB.</p>

In group B, 7 patients got half re-dislocation, 1 patient got complete re-dislocation,and 5 patients had arthritis of acromioclavicular joint with acute pain and limited shoulder function after internal fixations removal. In group C,2 patients got half re-dislocation, no complete re-dislocation and arthritis of acromioclavicular joint occurred after internal fixations removal. According to Karlsson evaluation, in group A, 12 patients obtained an excellent result, 8 good and 2 poor; in group B, the data were 9, 7 and 5 respectively; in group C, they were 20, 2 and 0 respectively. There were remarkable differences of therapeutic effects between the clavicular hook plate fixation combined with modified dynamic muscle transfer and that with either of the former two treatment methods (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Clavicular hook plate combined with modified dynamic muscle transfer is a reliable and good treatment for the complete acrominoclavicular dislocation, with advantages such as easy to handle,stable fixation and early exercise.</p>

Objective To prospectively observe the effect of levothyroxine treatment on neuropsychological development in offspring of pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism. Methods Twenty-three pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism received levothyroxine therapy (SCH+LT4 group) and 17 who did not receive levothyroxine ( SCH group) were enrolled; 24 pregnant women with normal thyroid function were referred as controls (C group). All the subjects underwent the planned thyroid tests regularly. Serum TSH, TT4, FT4, TT3,FT3, TPOAb, and TgAb levels were determined. Their 14-30 month-old children underwent the tests relating to intelligence and motor activity with the Bayley scale. Results In SCH group, SCH+LT4 group, and C group, the MDI were 115. 12, 118.56, and 117.63, respectively. And the PDI were 115.47, 120.65, and 117.50,respectively. The MDI and PDI were the highest in SCH+LT4 group and were the lowest in SCH group. Serum TSH levels remained above 2.0 mIU/L during the whole course of pregnancy in SCH group and higher than that in C group at all time points ( P<0.05 ). Serum TT4 and FT4 levels were lower in SCH group than in C group at all time points except G28 and G32. The baseline TSH level in SCH+LT4 group was the highest ( P<0.01 ), their TT4 and FT4 levels were the lowest among the three groups. In SCH + LT4 group, serum TSH, TT4, and FT4 levels were similar to C group after L-T4 treatment. Conclusion The prompt L-T4 treatment can maintain normal TSH levels in pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism during the whole course of pregnancy, and impairment of neuropsychological development in infants may be avoided.
Résumé
Objective To use the first trimester-specific reference intervals of thyroid-related hormones to explore the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction during early pregnancy and to analyze effectiveness of different screening strategies. Methods In this study 2 899 pregnant women were enrolled during the first trimester of gestation. TSH, FT4, FT3, and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were measured and thyroid disorders of pregnant women were diagnosed based on the first trimester-specific reference intervals. Results The prevalence of hypothyroidism was significantly higher in the high-risk group than in the non-high risk group ( 16.3% vs 5.3%,RR = 3.1,95% CI 2.4-4.0, P<0.01 ). TPOAb ( RR = 4.7, 95 % CI 3.6-6.0, P<0.01 ), and personal history of thyroid diseases ( RR=3.2, 95% CI 1.9-5.4, P<0.01 ) increased the risk of hypothyroidism. The prevalence of hyperthyroidism was higher in the high-risk group (3.1% vs 1.4%, P = 0. 006, RR = 2.2, 95% CI 1.2-3.9, P=0.006). TPOAb (RR=2.6, 95%CI 1.3-5.0, P=0.007), and presence of personal history of thyroid diseases( RR=4.7, 95% CI 1.7-12.5, P=0.006) also increased the risk of hyperthyroidism. 56.7% women with hypothyroidism and 64. 7% women with hyperthyroidism were in the non-high risk group. Conclusion We recommend that screening all pregnant women for thyroid disorders in the first trimester with TSH, FT4, and TPOAb is more effective than the case-finding approach.
