ABSTRACT
Objective To construct a lentivirus vector over-expressing Tumor necrosis factor alpha induced protein 1 (TNFAIP1) gene and detect its expression level in vitro.Methods The full length of TNFAIP1 gene fragments were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The pEZ-Lv105 vectors were digested by restriction endonuclease which was then linked to the full length of TNFAIP1 gene fragments by using T4DNA ligase.The plasmids were transfected into E.coli stbl3 and then we obtained the highly expressing positive clones by screening and identifying.The lentivirus vectors containing TNFAIP1 gene were transfected into 293T cells for package according to the packing kit manual.Results TNFAIP1 gene was amplified and successfully bound to the pEZ-Lv105 lentivirus vectors.The sequences of the recombinant plasmids were confirmed correctly by PCR and DNA sequence.The enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) could be observed after recombinant lentiviruses were cotransfected into 293T cells.Conclusions The TNFAIP1 overexpressed lentivirus vector is successfully constructed,which provides a molecular tool for further study of TNFAIP1 gene in optic nerve glioma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of psoralen on the proliferation of osteoblasts induced by alcohol, thus to explore the mechanism of psoralen in preventing and treating alcohol-induced osteoporosis. Methods The osteoblasts separated from neonatal rat skull were identified by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining method. The in-vitro confirmed osteoblasts were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely blank control group, alcohol group (model group), psoralen group, and psoralen plus alcohol group. The alcohol-induced osteoblast proliferation in various groups was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method. Results Compared with the blank control group, the alcohol-induced osteoblast proliferation at culturing hour 24, 48, 72, 96 in alcoholgroup was significantly decreased (P0.05). Compared with the alcohol group, osteoblast proliferation at culturing hour 24 in psoralen plus alcohol group was significantly increased (P 0.05). Conclusion Psoralen has certain effect on promoting alcohol-induced osteoblast proliferation in vitro.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.Methods From March 2011 to March 2016,one hundred and four cases treated with LAG for advanced gastric cancer in the general surgery department of Gaochun District People Hospital of Nanjing and the 251st Hospital of PLA were collected in the laparoscope group,104)and 101 cases undergoing gastric cancer surgery from the same period were selected as the control group(open surgery group).A retrospective analysis was performed between the two groups in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative eating time, ambulation time, exhaust time, postoperative fever, postoperative analgesic use,hospitalization time,postoperative complications,the proximal and distal margins and the number of lymph node dissection.Results The operation time was significantly longer in the LAG group than in the open surgery group(311.2 ± 28.9)min vs.(157.38 ± 11.9)min,t=2.899,P<0.01).The intraoperative blood loss in the laparoscope group was less than that in the open surgery group((100.3±12.1) ml vs.(200.6±16.3)ml,t=3.014,P<0.01).In addition,the frequency of postoperative analgesia,the first postoperative exhaust time,the first postoperative eating time and the postoperative hospital stay in the laparoscopic group were better than those in the open surgery group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the number of lymph node dissection and postoperative complication between the two groups(P=0.264,P=0.575).The survival analysis showed that the overall survival rate in the two groups was equivalent at 6 years after surgery(P=0.623).Conclusion Laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer is safe and feasible,with acceptable long-term results,and shows better performance in the near future.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether HA affects the inflammatory cytokines and chemokines of synoviocytes. Methods FLS were derived from the SD mice with knee OA by papaya enzyme and stimulated by IL-1. Then, FLS were cultured with 600 ~ 800 kDa HA. Anti-CD44 blocking experiments were determined. The expressionsof TNF-γ, IL-1 , IL-6 , MMP-3 , MMP-9 , CX3CL1 , CCL11 , CCL2 , CXCL12 were detected by RT-PCR. In addition, the tunel test was used to detect the apoptosis rate. Results MMP-3, CX3CL1 and CCL2 gene expression were down regulated by HMW-HA in unstimulated FLS and TNF-α,MMP-3, CX3CL1 and CCL2 expression were decreased by HMW-HA in IL-1-stimulated FLS. CD44 blocking inhibited the down-regulatory effects of HMW-HA. Besides, HMW-HA promoted cell apoptosis under condition of inflammation. Conclusion HMW-HA has an anti-inflammatory effect by down-regulating of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and promoting apoptosis, possibly through the interaction of CD44 and HMW-HA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of uterine arterial embolization (UAE) combined with hystersocpic excisionl of exogenous cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Methods Totally 67 patients with exogenous CSP treated with selective UAE combined with hysterscopic surgery in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were analyzed retrospectively; 35 patients in Group A (thickness of the cesarean scar>3 mm), while 32 patients in Group B (thickness of the cesarean scar≤3 mm). The following clinical parameters including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, quantity of postoperative uterine drainage, postoperative hospital days, the time for the mass absorption and the return ofβ-hCG to normal were compared. Results All hysterscopic procedures were successfully completed in Group A, and only one case underwent a second hysteroscopic excision due to the 1-month postoperative ultrasound examination indicating a mass located in the cesarean scar and a slow decline of β-hCG. Three cases of Group B were transformed to laparoscopic or laparotomy operation and 7 cases underwent a second surgery. The volume of introperative blood loss was (97±41) ml in Group A and (161±92) ml in Group B, the difference was statistically significant (P0.05). Conclusions For exogenous CSP, when the thickness of cesarean scar is ≤3 mm, whether or not undertaking UAE, it should be seen as contraindication of hysterscopic surgery. UAE combined with hysterscopic surgery for the treatment of exogeous CSP with the cesarean scar thickness>3 mm is safe and feasible according to patients condition and should be performed by experienced hysteroscopist.
