ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the effect of deuterium depleted water combined with platelet-rich plasma on wound healing of diabetic ulcer in rats, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups, normal control group (group A, n=20) and diabetic group (n=80). Rats in the diabetic group were fed with high-fat diet for 4 weeks, and the rat diabetic ulcer model was replicated by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) + skin full-thickness resection; then randomly divided into diabetic model group (group B), platelet-rich plasma group (group C), deuterium depleted water group (group D), and deuterium depleted water combined platelet-rich plasma group (group E), with 18 rats for each group. Group A with common feed was fed for 4 weeks after intraperitoneal injection of an equal volume of citric acid-sodium citrate buffer + skin full-thickness resection to replicate the normal ulcer model. The animals were sacrificed after treatment for 3, 7 and 14 d, and the random blood glucose was measured at each corresponding time point. The wound surface and wound margin tissue were taken to observe the wound healing and local histomorphology of each group. The contents of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in the wound tissue of each group were detected by enzyme-linked reaction adsorption method. Results: Random blood glucose in group D and group E was lower than that before intervention. The inflammatory response of the wounds in each diabetic group was slower than that in group A. The granulation ripening effect of group E was faster than that of group B, C, and D. The effect was best in each intervention group, and the neovascularization and fibroblasts appeared earlier and in large quantities. The content of TIMP-1 in group A was significantly higher than that in group B, C, D and E (P<0.05). The content of TIMP-1 in group B was significantly lower than that in group C, D and E (P<0.05). The content of TIMP-1 was significantly higher than that of group C and D (P<0.05). The content of MMP-9 in group B was significantly higher than that in group A, C, D and E (P<0.05). The content of MMP-9 in group E was significantly lower than that in group C and D (P<0.05). Conclusion: Deuterium depleted water can promote the healing of diabetic ulcer wounds. Deuterium depleted water combined with platelet-rich plasma can significantly promote the healing of diabetic ulcer wounds, which may be related to the decrease of random blood glucose, the increase of TIMP-1 and the inhibition of MMP-9 expression.
ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effects of miRNA-155 on malignant biological characteristics of NK/T-cell lymphoma cell lines and the possible mechanism. The expression of miRNA-155 was detected in lymphoma cell lines from different sources (SNK-6, YTS, Jurkat and DOHH2) by real-time PCR. Lentiviral vectors (pLL3.7) that could overexpress or downexpress miRNA-155 were constructed. Recombinant lentiviral particles were prepared and purified, and their titers determined. The expression of miRNA-155 in the infected SNK-6 cells and the cell proliferation were detected by PCR and CCK-8, respectively. Flow cytometry was used to determine the apoptosis of infected SNK-6 cells. The target of miRNA155 was predicted from Targetscan website. The effect of miRNA155 on FOXO3a expression was examined by Western blotting. The results showed that among the human NK/T-cell lymphoma cell lines SNK-6, YTS, Jurkat and DOHH2, the expression of miRNA-155 was highest in SNK-6. The infection efficiency of the recombinant lentivirus in SNK-6 was more than 70% at multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 100. The expression of miRNA-155 was significantly increased in SNK-6 cells infected by lentivirus vectors with high expression of miRNA-155 (4 times higher than the control group), and profoundly decreased in those infected with lentiviruses with low expression of miRNA-155. The proliferation of letivirus-infected SNK-6 cells was decreased as the expression of miRNA-155 reduced. The apoptosis rate was increased with the reduction in the expression of miRNA-155. FOXO3a was found to be a possible target of miRNA155, as suggested by Targetscan website. Western blotting showed that the expression of FOXO3a was significantly elevated in SNK-6 cells with miRNA-155 inhibition. It was concluded that reduction in miRNA-155 expression can inhibit the proliferation of SNK-6 lymphoma cells and promote their apoptosis, which may be associated with regulation of FOXO3a gene.

In this report, we present two cases of bronchial foreign body granulomas caused by the suture ties used in bronchial surgery for esophageal cancer. Both of them was hospitalized as "tumor transfer or an invasion", but pathological examination of the neoplasms indicated an inflammatory granuloma showing reaction to the foreign body. These two cases give us an attention that the neoplasms in tracheal or bronchial was not only the invasion or transfer of the primary tumor, but also the possibility of granuloma development due to the surgical sutures.
