ABSTRACT
Purpose@#The main treatment options of neurogenic bladder remains catheterization and long-term oral medications. Metabolic interventions have shown good therapeutic results in many diseases. To date, no studies have characterized the metabolites of the detrusor muscle during neurogenic bladder. Using metabolomics, new muscle metabolomic signatures were identified to reveal the temporal metabolic profile of muscle during disease progression. @*Methods@#We used 42 Sprague-Dawley rats (200±20 g, males) for T10 segmental spinal cord injury modeling and collected detrusor tissue and performed nontargeted metabolomics after sham surgery, 30-minute, 6-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour, 5-day, and 2-week postmodelling, to identify the dysregulated metabolic pathways and key metabolites. @*Results@#By comparing mzCloud, mzVault, MassList, we identified a total of 1,271 metabolites and enriched a total of 12 metabolism-related pathways with significant differences (P<0.05) based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis. Metabolites in several differential metabolic pathways such as ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, Steroid hormone biosynthesis, and carbon metabolism are altered in a regular manner before and after ridge shock. @*Conclusions@#Our study is the first time-based metabolomic study of rat forced urinary muscle after traumatic spinal cord injury, and we identified multiple differential metabolic pathways during injury that may improve long-term management strategies for neurogenic bladder and reduce costs in long-term treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of microRNA-182-5p (miR-182-5p) on proliferation and apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cells by targeting forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a).Methods The difference of miR-182-Sp expression between human normal lung epithelial cells BEAS-2B and NSCLC cells A549 was compared.The A549 cells were chosen,and miR-182-Sp mimic (miR-182-Sp mimic group),miR-182-Sp inhibitor (miR-182-5p inhibitor group),negative control mimic (NC mimic group) and negative control inhibitor (NC inhibitor group) were transfected respectively.The expression of miR-182-Sp was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The protein expression of FOXO3a was detected by Western blotting.The cell proliferation activity was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method.The cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.The targeted relationship between miR-182-5p and FOXO3a was detected by dual-luciferase experiment.Results The miR-182-5p expression of A549 cells and BEASo2B cells respectively was 3.21 ±0.24 and 1.01 ±0.11,and the difference was statistically significant (t =14.209,P＜0.001).The miR-182-5p expression of NC mimic group,miR-182-5p mimic group,NC inhibitor group and miR-182-5p inhibitor group respectively was 1.09 ± 0.20,12.80 ± 1.10,1.03 ± 0.11and 0.47 ± 0.08,and the difference was statistically significant (F =87.872,P ＜ 0.001).The FOXO3a expression of the above four groups respectively was 118.34 ± 16.71,50.89 ± 11.58,125.33 ± 20.87 and 289.26 ± 34.51,and the difference was statistically significant (F =62.125,P ＜ 0.001).The 72 h proliferation activity of the four groups respectively was 1.12 ± 0.13,1.70 ± 0.14,1.07 ± 0.13 and 0.71 ± 0.11,and the difference was statistically significant (F =31.336,P ＜ 0.001).The proliferation activity of miR-182-5p mimic group was significantly higher than that of NC mimic group (P ＜ 0.05),and the proliferation activity of miR-182-5p inhibitor group was significantly lower than that of NC inhibitor group (P ＜0.05).The apoptosis rate of the four groups respectively was (5.51 t±1.80)％,(1.41 ±0.50)％,(6.24 ± 1.71)％ and (47.93 ± 5.12) ％,and the difference was statistically significant (F =211.081,P ＜ 0.001).The apoptosis rate of miR-182-5p mimic group was significantly lower than that of NC mimic group (P ＜ 0.05),and the apoptosis rate of miR-182-5p inhibitor group was significantly higher than that of NC inhibitor group (P ＜0.001).The miRNA target genes prediction software test results showed that miR-182-5p could act on FOXO3a 3' untranslated region (UTR).Compared with transfection NC mimic,co-transfection miR-182-5p mimic and FOXO3a-Wt could make luciferase activity of A549 significantly decreased (1.20 ±0.14 vs.0.62 ±0.10;t =5.839,P =0.004).Conclusion miR-182-5p can enhance proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of A549 cell by targeting FOXO3a.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in the clinic. METHODS:Resistant rate of PA in our hospital during 2011-2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Antibiotics use densi-ty(AUD)of 10 commonly used antibiotics were analyzed statistically,and the correlation of resistant rate with AUD was investi-gated by Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS:One thousaud and eleven strains of PA were isolated in our hospital during 2011-2014,detection rate of PA always occupied the top 5 place. Top 3 antibiotics in the list of AUD were levofloxacin,ceftazi-dime,cefoperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium. AUD of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium,levofloxacin,ciprofloxa-cin and meropenem were positively correlated with resistant rate of PA(r were 1.000,0.900,1.000,1.000,P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:There is correlation between AUD of antibiotics and resistant rate of PA. It is of important significance to detect resistant rate of PA and the use of antibiotics regularly. Antibiotics should be selected cautiously in accordance with bacterial monitoring data,results of drug sensitivity tests,the amount and resistant rate of antibiotics,etc,in order to reduce resistant PA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between BMI and insulin dose in diabetic patients after short-term continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Methods Three hundred patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were enrolled and randomized into the normal weight (BMI < 23 kg/m2) group, overweight (BMI 23 ~ 25 kg/m2) group and obesity (BMI≥25 kg/m2) group. The metabolic and anthropometric parameters of each group were compared and the related factors which may influence insulin dose were analyzed. Results The insulin dose per weight in the overweight group or in the obesity groups was significantly lower than that in the normal weight group. Weight and BMI were negatively correlated with the insulin dose per weigh. Conclusions Differences of glycemia level , β-cell function and insulin resistance exist in Chinese type 2 diabetes patients with different BMI. The stratification of BMI should be considered before estimating the insulin dose by body weight in CSII therapy.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the roles of the hepatitis B virus (HBV)-encoded X protein (HBx), including the full-length and truncated isoforms, and in conjunction with the host-encoded damaged DNA binding protein 1 (DDB1) in HBV replication.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Recominant expression plasmids carrying the wild-type HBV genome (pGEM-HBV1.2) or with deletion of the full-length HBx protein (pHBV-deltaX), or carrying the full-length HBx protein (pSI-X) or the HBx1to101 (pSI-X1to101) or HBx43to154 (pSI-X43to154) isoforms were constructed for transfection into HepG2 cells. The pcDNA6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR (DDB1-miRNA) vector was constructed for silencing of the DDB1 gene in co-transfected HepG2 cells. At 72 h after transfections, DDB1 silencing was confirmed by western blot analysis and real-time quantitive reverse transcription PCR, HBV DNA copies number was assessed by real time PCR, and levels of hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) and hepatitis B e antigen (HbeAg) were determined by ELISA. Differences between groups was statistically analyzed by single-factor analysis of variance and the t-test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Transfection with pHBV-deltaX led to reductions in DDB1 mRNA (to 52.74% of that in the wild-type pGEM-HBV1.2 transfected cells), HBV replication (to 55.49%), HBsAg level (48.05%), and HBeAg level (46.22%). Co-transfection with pSI-X or pSI-X43to154, but not with pSI-X1to101, restored the pHBV-deltaX-induced reductions in DDB1 mRNA, HBV replication, HBsAg and HBeAg to wild-type levels. The quantity of DDB1 mRNA was approximately parallel with the quantity of HBV DNA copies in all the HepG2 transfection groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The COOH-terminal amino acids of HBx are required for HBV replication in hepatocytes, possibly involving the host-encoded DDB1 protein.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx) on host cell cycle and HBV replication using cultured primary mouse hepatocytes to gain further insights into the mechanism of HBx-mediated modulation of cell cycle.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Primary cultured mouse hepatocytes were transfected with HBx-expressing (pHBV) or HBx-selected (pHBV triangle X) plasmids, which were generated with sequences of the HBV ayw subtype 1.2 and included the green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene. The levels of cell cycle proteins (p16, cyclin D1, p21, cyclin E and cyclin A) were measured with Western blotting, and HBV DNA was analyzed by Southern blotting and real-time PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The freshly isolated hepatocytes showed no significant differences in levels of cell cycle proteins. However, at 48 hours post-transfection, the levels of cyclin D1, p21 and cyclin E were significantly higher and the level of p16 was significantly lower in the pHBV-transfected hepatocytes than in the pHBV triangle X-transfected hepatocytes (t = 15.713, 22.897, 14.680, and -19.584, respectively, P less than 0.05). The level of cyclin A was not different between the two groups (t = 0.142, P more than 0.05). At 72 hours post-transfection, the level of HBV DNA was higher in pHBV-transfected hepatocytes (rcDNA: 3288.336+/-448.011; dslDNA: 6458.318+/-182.163; ssDNA: 2760.613+/-393.561) than in pHBV triangle X-transfected hepatocytes (rcDNA: 515.721+/-62.530; dslDNA: 2122.228+/-28.347; ssDNA: 1632.013+/-207.021) and in the blank (untransfected) control group (P less than 0.05). Real-time PCR analysis of HBV DNA copy number per cell confirmed these results, (pHBV-transfected: 987.50+/-47.80 vs. pHBV triangle X-transfected: 303.67+/-33.94; t = 20.203, P less than 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The HBx protein can affect the levels of cell cycle proteins, which may induce quiescent hepatocytes to enter the G1 phase of the cell cycle and stay in this phase instead of entering the S phase, thereby promoting HBV intracellular replication.</p>

Objective To determine the pharmacokinetic interaction between cefalor and bromhexine in healthy Chinese volunteers. Methods Twelve subjects received a cefaclor (CEF) treatment, a bromhexine (BHX) treatment, and a co-treatment of CEF and BHX with a 3 × 3 Latin square design. The wash-out time between periods was 14 days. The plasma and urine drug concentrations of CEF and BHX were detected by HPLC-UV and LC/MS, respectively. Results All the 12 volunteers completed the study. There were no significant differences in AUC0-t and Cmax of CEF in logarithm between the single administration group of CEF and the co-administration group of CEF with BHX. Two one sided t-test showed that CEF was bioequivalent in the 2 groups. There were no significant differences in tmax, MRT, t1/2, and Clr between the 2 groups. Vd/F was significantly lower in the single CEF group than in the co-administration group of CEF and BHX. There were no significant differences of AUC0-t and Cmax of BHX in logarithm between the single administration group of BHX and the co-administration group of BHX with CEF. Two one sided t-test showed that BHX was bioequivalent in the 2 groups. There were no significant differences in tmax, MRT, t1/2, Vd/F, and Clr between the 2 groups. Conclusion There is no significant pharmacokinetic parameter change in the drug absorption, metabolism, and excretion, but Va/F of CEF significant increases in the co-administration of CEF with BHX. The co-administration of CEF and BHX has no adverse drug interaction. The increase of Vd/F may be a favorable drug interaction, which may be the mechanism of the synergistic effect of the 2 drugs.

TDP-4-ketohexulose reductase, encoded by dnmV, is important in daunorubicin biosynthesis. To obtain a daunorubicin block mutant, double cross-over plasmid pYG817 was constructed by inserting apramycin resistant gene and amplified dnmV together with upstream dnmU into vector pUC18. dnmV was successfully disrupted after transformation of daunorubicin-producing strain SIPI-1482 by pYG817. Daunorubicin was absent from metabolites of the resulting transformant, and its biosynthesis can be reconstituted by introducing dnmV expression plasmid into the disruptant, although the yield is lower than wild-type SIPI-1482, according to HPLC analysis. This mutant can be a good candidate for production of anthracycline such as epi-daunorubicin by introducing exogenous gene into the host.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of epidermal growt h factor receptor(EGFR) on the development and progress of thymoma. Me thods Expression of EGFR was detected by immunohistochemical stain in t he tissues of 11 cases of normal thymus and 29 cases of thymoma. Result s The positive expression of EGFR was 75.9%(22/29) in thymomas and 18.2%(2/11) in normal thymus. The difference was significant(P<0.01). The positive rate of EGFR was higher in invasive thymomas than in non-invasive ones (P<0.01). T he positive rate of EGFR increased with Masaoka stage with a significant increm ent in Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage compared with I stage (P<0.01). EGFR was strongly expre ssed in 5 cases of invasive thymomas, in which recurrence or metastasis occurred in 3 during the follow-up period after operation. But there was no statistical correlation with whether complicated with myasthenia gravis (MG) and histolog ical type. Conclusion EGFR might be related to the tumori genesis and development of thymoma. There is high risk of recurrence and metast asis in case of EGFR over-expression and radiotherapy, chemotherapy and follow up should be enhanced.
