Effects of chlorogenic acid on the proliferation, migration and invasion of renal carcinoma A498 and 769-P cells / 现代泌尿外科杂志

【Objective】 To investigate the effects of chlorogenic acid on the proliferation, migration and invasion of renal carcinoma A498 and 769-P cells and the possible molecular mechanism. 【Methods】 Human renal carcinoma A498 and 769-P cells were divided into control group and chlorogenic acid group (2 μL,1 μmol/L) and cultured for 72 h. The cell proliferation, invasion and migration were detected with MTT assay, Transwell assay and scratch test, respectively. The expressions of IL-1β, EPAS-1 and AKT/P65 signaling pathway related proteins were detected with ELISA, qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. 【Results】 Chlorogenic acid inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of renal carcinoma A498 and 769-P cells, and reduced the IL-1β level in the cell supernatant. Anti-IL-1β reduced the protein and mRNA expressions of EPAS-1, p-AKT and p-P65. Compared with the control group, the chlorogenic acid group had reduced mRNA and protein expressions of EPAS-1, p-AKT and p-P65 (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Chlorogenic acid can inhibit the invasion and metastasis of renal carcinoma cells, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the secretion of IL-1β, thereby inhibiting the AKT/P65/EPAS-1 pathway.

Molecular typing, virulence genes and drug resistance of Salmonella typhimurium in Longyan city / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective@#To analyze the molecular typing characteristics by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), drug resistance and virulence genes of Salmonella typhimurium in Longyan city in order to provide reference for the prevention and control.@*Methods@#A total of 79 Salmonella typhimurium strains were isolated from sporadic cases of diarrhea and food poisoning and raw poultry meat samples during 2010 to 2017. PFGE was performed to measure the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 15 commonly used drugs against them. PCR was used to detect nine virulence genes (sopB, invA, sifA, sscA, sseE, spvB, pefA, spvR, spvC) in 55 strains.@*Results@#The 79 Salmonella typhimurium strains belonged to 61 PFGE types. There were 10, three and four strains of P1, P3 and P21 types, respectively. Seven P1 type strains were isolate from one food poisoning event. According to the 85% classification standard, 79 Salmonella typhimurium strains could be divided into five predominant gene clusters (G1-G5). Drug susceptibility test showed that the 79 strains had the highest resistance rate to ampicillin (88.61%), followed by that to tetracycline (87.34%) and streptomycin (73.41%). Multidrug resistant bacteria resistant to three or more antibacterial drugs accounted for 84.81% (67/79). All of the 55 strains carried invA, sopB, sseE and sscA genes. The other five genes, sifA, spvC, spvB, spvR and pefA, were detected in 54, 31. 10, 11 and 12 strains, respectively. There were 76.4% (42/55) of the strains carrying five or six virulence genes and all were positive for invA, sopB, sseE, sscA and sifA, and negative for spvB, spvR and pefA. The strains carrying all of the nine virulence genes accounted for 18.2% (10/55).@*Conclusions@#Salmonella typhimurium strains isolated in Longyan city had a diverse PFGE type. P1, P3 and P21 types were the three predominant PFGE types. In the food poisoning event, PFGE molecular typing could quickly alert the outbreak and traceability of Salmonella typhimurium. Attention should be paid to the multidrug resistance in Salmonella typhimurium. Monitoring of multidrug-resistant strains and supervision on antibacterial drug usage should be strengthened. Salmonella typhimurium had high virulence as it carried many virulence genes.

Objective To analyze the pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns and antibiotic resistance of Salmonella enteritidisstrains isolated in Longyan city in order to provide reference for effective control, clinical diagnosis and treatment of outbreaks of food-borne diseases.Methods Seventy-seven Salmonella enteritidis strains isolated from food poisoning cases, livestock and poultry meat samples collected for food safety risk monitoring and sporadic cases in 2014 and 2016 were analyzed by PFGE.Antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 16 common antibiotics to 57 strains.Results Seventeen PFGE types were identified among the 77 Salmonella strains including three predominant types (P4, P6 and P8) and were grouped into three major pulsotypes (Cluster1-3) at 90% similarity level.The predominant types causing outbreaks of Salmonella enteritidis infection were P8, P6, P4 and P14, which were responsible for five cases of food poisoning.These isolated strains were highly resistant to nalidixic acid (93%), followed by resistance towards ampicillin (74%) and streptomycin (54%).Forty-one strains were resistant to three or more antibiotics (71.93%).Conclusion The PFGE types of Salmonella enteritidis strains isolated in Longyan city exhibit polymorphism and are clustered into three major pulsotypes.PFGE molecular typing can provide early-warning of sporadic outbreaks and help to identify the sources of infections in Salmonella enteritidis-related food poisoning.Attentions should be paid to multidrug resistant Salmonella enteritidis.Surveillance for multidrug resistant strains and usage of antibiotics should be strengthened.

Application strategy of hemostatics in total knee arthroplasty / 临床外科杂志

Bone and soft tissue bleeding often results in substantial amounts of blood loss during the total knee arthroplasty(TKA). Multiple studies have reported that cumulative blood loss varies from 500 to 1500 mL in primary settings. Increased perioperative blood loss frequently requires allogeneic blood transfusions to improve the hematocrit and hemoglobin levels. However,allogeneic transfusion is associated with risks of immunosuppression,transfusion reactions,graft versus host disease,and transmission of infec-tions. To avoid these problems and reduce costs of transfusion,multiple intraoperative pharmacotherapeutic strategies have been developed. The various pharmacotherapeutic agents currently used include tranexamic acid,epsilon-aminocaproic acid,fibrin,thrombin,lavage with epinephrine,and norepinephrine. However, the relative efficacy and the cost-effectiveness of these agents may vary. Thus,the purpose of this study was to provide a brief overview of the relative efficacy of various intraoperative pharmacological methods cur-rently in use for decreasing blood loss following TKA and describe their potential complications associated with their application.

Aim To investigate the proliferative effect and the apoptosis of human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells induced by gallic acid ( GA ) , and its underlying mechanism. Methods SMMC-7721 cells were cul-tured in vitro. MTT assay was used to observe the pro-liferation of SMMC-7721 cells induced on GA 24 , 48 , 72 h. The morphological and ultra structural changes of the SMMC-7721 cells were observed by inverted micro-scope and transmission electron microscope respective-ly. Annexin V-FITC/PI staining was used to quantify the percentages of apoptosis in the total cell popula-tion. The expression of p53 mRNA was investigated by RT-PCR. Western blot was used to determine the pro-tein expression of p53. Results GA(6. 25~50 μmol ·L-1 ) markedly inhibited the activity of proliferation and induced apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells after 48 h in a dose-dependent manner. GA significantly induced cell nuclear condensation and fragmentation. RT-PCR and Western blot results showed that GA could improve the expression of p53 mRNA and protein. Conclusion GA can inhibit the proliferation of human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells and induce cells apoptosis. The mechanism may be associated with improving tumor suppressor gene p53 expression.

IL-10 promoter polymorphisms affect IL-10 production and associate with susceptibility to acute myeloid leukemia.

We investigated the possible association of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 115 AML patients and 137 gender- and age-matched controls. Genetic analysis of IL-10 SNPs at -819 and -592 was carried out by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results revealed that the -819AA genotype frequencies and the -819A allele frequencies of AML group were higher than the controls (59.1% vs 40.9%; 75.6% vs 63.9%, respectively); there were remarkable differences in -819T/C and -592A/C gene distribution (P<0.05) and the TA haploid frequencies were higher in AML group (75.6% vs 63.9%, P<0.05). The IL-10 mRNA expression of AML patients and controls with different genotype was detected by Real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). IL-10 mRNA expression in incipient AML patients increased obviously compared with the non-tumor group and remission group (P<0.05). Further analysis suggested that the IL-10 mRNA expression of TA/TA genotype was the lowest and CC/CC genotype was the highest; the haploid TA and genotype TA/TA may be associated with AML. The research suggested the IL-10 SNPs at -819 and -592 sites were associated with AML and may affect the IL-10 mRNA expression in AML patients in Han people of Hunan province.

Research progress experimental and detection method on pulmonary blast injury / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Due to the air-filled alveoli and delicate vascular structure,the lung is the most easily damaged organ when human or animal is subjected to a shock wave.Primary pulmonary blast injury resulting from shock wave is an important cause of trauma not only in military conflicts but also in terrorism or accidents involving civilians.The physiological,pathological and biochemical changes after blast injury may lead to inflammatory response,cell apoptosis in the lung,boost the activation of cytokines including TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8 and IL-1β,and finally result in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).This paper presents the evolution and characteristics of pulmonary blast injury,and demonstrates four relevant experimental setups including biological shock tube,segmented shock wave generator,mini blast wave generator and laser-induced stress wave generator.Besides,this paper reviews the scoring system of pulmonary blast injury,pathological and biochemical measurement aiming to provide helpful reference to establish pulmonary blast injury models.

The expression pattern of polycomb group protein Ezh2 during mouse embryogenesis.

The Polycomb group (PcG) family proteins are required for the stability of homeotic selector genes and other genes related to the regulation of mammalian development through their roles in the modulation of chromatin domains. Among them, the mammalian enhancer zeste homologue 2 (Ezh2) contributes to the transcriptional repression of these genes. Previous studies tracked the Ezh2 expression at cDNA and mRNA levels during mouse development. However, little information is known about the expression patterns of Ezh2 at the protein levels. In this study, the embryos (E6.5-E18.5) obtained through timed matings of strain Kunming mice were inserted into paraffin blocks. Tissue microarrays were constructed and followed by subsequent immunohistochemical staining. The positive cells were identified and scored based on both the percentage of stained cells and their staining intensities. Ezh2 protein expression was found throughout the embryonic tissues including the nerves, intestine epithelial, liver, pancreas, renal tubule, and lungs. Its expression level was higher at early embryonic developmental stages. However, the nerve fibers and myocardium showed weak or no immunostaining reactivities. Ezh2 protein was moderately expressed in the nuclei of renal tubule epithelial cells at E14.5. In contrast, it was weakly expressed in the fetal kidneys at E18.5 and the protein was localized in the cytoplasm of the renal tubule epithelial cells. Our data confirmed that Ezh2 protein was expressed in mouse embryos and its expression exhibited tissue specificity and dependence on the stages of embryo development. thus providing new information helpful for understanding the possible roles of Ezh2 in embryogenesis.

Two-dimensional numerical analysis of impact response of the human tibia in Car-pedestrian accidents / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Objective The purpose of this paper was to use a new biphasic poroelastic tibia model to develop a two-dimensional numerical method for simulating impact responses of human tibia in car-pedestrian accidents. Methods The geometry of tibia model was reconstructed from CT scans of the left tibia of a living human volunteer. A poroelastic approach was utilized to establish the governing equations of the model and the finite element method was applied to solve these governing equations. Both cortical and cancellous components of tibia were represented using a poroelastic material model consisting of solid phase (matrix) and fluid phase (marrow). A lateral-medial impact direction was selected in the simulation analysis and the impact responses of the pedestrian tibia during 0-200 ms were analyzed. Results The bending deformation of the tibia predicted by the computer simulation was primarily concentrated on the impact zones. The displacement response of Node 107 in the impact zone indicated a peak displacement of -6 mm at around 75 ms, and the significant time delay between the impact force and the displacement response of the skeleton. The axial stress response at the center of element E77 in the impact zone indicated a peak stress of 140 MPa at around 30 ms,and the significant time delay was observed between the impact force and the axial stress response of the skeleton, too. Conclusion This research developed a two-dimensional numerical method for simulating impact responses of human tibia in car-pedestrian accidents. It was able to approximately simulate the bending deformation, lateral displacement response and axial stress response of pedestrian tibia in the impact zones,and the effects of the fluid phase on the solid phase. More in-depth investigation is helpful to further the biofidelity of tibia dynamics model.

Progress on DAB2IP gene / 中国病理生理杂志

Human DAB2 interaction protein (DAB2IP) is a novel member of Ras GTPase-activating protein family. It interacts directly with disabled-2 protein (DAB2/DOC2) which suppresses growth of cancers derived from different tissues, including mammary, prostate and ovarian cancers. DAB2IP was identified as an immediate downstream effector mediated by DAB2/DOC2. DAB2IP and DAB2/DOC2 form a unique protein complex that has a negative regulatory effect on the Ras-mediated signal pathway. It is demonstrated that DAB2IP is a tumor suppressor gene inactivated by methylation in several cancers. This article reviews the structure and biological functions of DAB2IP gene as well as its potential roles in carcinogenesis and evolution.

Silencing of tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 by siRNA in EC109 cells affects cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) is a membrane receptor able to bind TNF-alpha or TNF-beta. TNFR1 can suppress apoptosis by activating the NF-kappaB or JNK/SAPK signal transduction pathway, or it can induce apoptosis through a series of caspase cascade reactions; the particular effect may depend on the cell line. In the present study, we first showed that TNFR1 is expressed at both the gene and protein levels in the esophageal carcinoma cell line EC109. Then, by applying a specific siRNA, we silenced the expression of TNFR1; this resulted in a significant time-dependent promotion of cell proliferation and downregulation of the apoptotic rate. These results suggest that TNFR1 is strongly expressed in the EC109 cell line and that it may play an apoptosis-mediating role, which may be suppressed by highly activated NF-kappaB.

Quantitative study of cochlear hair cells injuries in guinea pigs exposed to blast underpressure / 中国耳鼻咽喉头颈外科

OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics of cochlear hair cell injuries in guinea pigs exposed to blast underpressure(BUP). METHODS The guinea pigs were killed 14 days after exposure to experimental BUP. Their basilar membranes were stained by silver nitrate and the hair cell injuries were quantitatively assessed using the light microscope. RESULTS The outer hair cells(OHCs) of the guinea pigs clearly appeared to be injured following exposure to the experimental BUP at a peak underpressure varying between -22.4kPa and -63.3kPa. The most obvious injury was in the second turn and OHC loss was smallest in the first row and more severe in the second and third rows. OHC loss was seen in all of three experimental groups of animals following exposure to BUP. Furthermore, the higher the peak of underpressure, the more obvious the injury of OHCs. Quantitative morphological analysis of cochlear hair cells showed that the total OHC loss rates in all the experimental groups of guinea pigs exposed to BUP were significantly higher than that of control group animals(P

Injury patterns and risk factors of motorcycle crashes / 中国组织工程研究

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the injury patterns and risk factors of motorcycle crashes.DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search was undertaken to identify English articles about motorcycle crashes published from January 1980 to December 2005 in Medline database and from January 1995 to December 2005 in EMCC database, the keywords were "motorcycle,crash, injury, traffic accident". Meanwhile, a manual search of relevant journals and monographs was performed for the articles and data published in Chinese.STUDY SELECTION: Based on the principles of reliability, advancement and efficiency, the data were primarily examined, and the original articles in this research field were selected to look up the full-texts. The repetitive studies and reviews were excluded.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 87 articles were collected about the incidence, mechanism and protective methods of motorcycle crashes and motorcycle injuries, 36 of them were excluded, and finally 51 were enrolled.DATA SYNTHESIS: The most important variable affecting mortality in motorcycle crashes is head injury. Wearing a helmet should continue to be compulsory, as this single measure can help to reduce the mortality in motorcyclists. Thoracic and abdominal trauma as well as pelvic ring fractures associated with long bone injuries appears to be the secondary factors contributing to reduced survival. The injured motorcyclists were predominant young, novice inexperienced riders and male. A fatal outcome was more likely to be associated with a larger engine capacity motorcycle, collision with a heavy vehicle, head on collision, and collision at a non-junction road. Alcohol and excessive speed were common factors associated with motorcyclist crash involvement.CONCLUSION: Motorcycle crashes are an increasing public health problem in the present world. A thorough understanding of the injury patterns and risk factors in motorcyclists may improve the initial assessment and management of these patients and reduce the risk of inflicting further iatrogenic complications. Renewed and strengthened prevention efforts are warranted. A stricter enforcement of helmet laws would be effective to increase compliance with active protection devices. Stricter law enforcement also should be carried out to prevent alcohol-related accidents. It is hoped that these results will ultimately be used in concert with that from other researchers focusing on preventative devices to reduce the incidence of motorcycle crashes and still others examining specific therapies to address the type and nature of the motorcycle injury.

Mechanical response numerical analysis of bone tissue based on liquid saturated biphasic porous medium model / 生物医学工程学杂志

A biphasic porous medium model based on the mixture theory in continuum mechanics frame was used to depict the distributions of osseous stress field, distortion field and pore pressure when the bone tissue was subject to various dynamic loads. In the model, the bone tissue was considered as a transversely isotropic, liquid saturated porous material. The coupling relationship among the distortion, fluid flow and the streaming potential is studied. The Galerkin weighted residual method was used to derive the finite element formulation for dynamic response and the streaming potential calculating formulation of bone tissue, the penalty finite element formulation was obtained via introducing the ratio term of pressure p and penalty parameter beta in the continuity equation and, in turn, eliminated the pressure term in governing equation sets. The computational results show that the viscoelastic behavior and the energy dissipation property in the bone tissue, especially in the cancellous bone, is caused to a great extent by the pore liquid flow and diffusion. Meanwhile, because of the existence of electrical double layer between the solid phase and liquid phase, when the liquid constituents in the pore diffuse, the streaming potential appears, and the growth and absorption of bone tissue is expedited.
