ABSTRACT

Pyroptosis is the programmed death of cells accompanied by an inflammatory response and is widely involved in the development of a variety of diseases, such as infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegeneration. It has been shown that cellular scorching is involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension ( PAH) in cardiovascular diseases. Patients with PAH have perivascular inflammatory infiltrates in lungs, pulmonary vasculopathy exists in an extremely inflam-matory microenvironment, and pro-inflammatory factors in cellular scorching drive pulmonary vascular remodelling in PAH patients. This article reviews the role of cellular scorch in the pathogenesis of PAH and the related research on drugs for the treatment of PAH, with the aim of providing new ideas for clinical treatment of PAH.

ABSTRACT

Apolipoprotein C3 (apoC3) and angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibit lipolysis by lipoprotein lipase and may influence the secretion and uptake of various lipoproteins.Genetic studies show that depletion of these proteins is associated with improved lipid profiles and reduced cardiovascular events so it was anticipated that drugs which mimic the effects of loss-of-function mutations would be useful lipid treatments. ANGPTL3 inhibitors were initially developed as a treatment for severe hypertriglyceridaemia including familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS), which is usually not adequately controlled with currently available drugs. However, it was found ANGPTL3 inhibitors were also effective in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and they were studied in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH). Evinacumab targets ANGPTL3 and reduced LDL-C by about 50% in patients with homozygous FH and it has been approved for that indication. The antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) vupanorsen targeting ANGPTL3 was less effective in reducing LDL-C in patients with moderate hypertriglyceridaemia and its development has been discontinued but the small interfering RNA (siRNA) ARO-ANG3 is being investigated in Phase 2 studies. ApoC3 can be inhibited by the ASO volanesorsen, which reduced triglycerides by >70% in patients with FCS and it was approved for FCS in Europe but not in the United States because of concerns about thrombocytopaenia. Olezarsen is an N-acetylgalactosamine-conjugated ASO targeting apoC3 which appears as effective as volanesorsen without the risk of thrombocytopaenia and is undergoing Phase 3 trials. AROAPOC3 is an siRNA targeting apoC3 that is currently being investigated in Phase 3 studies.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of self-efficacy and positive coping styles between nurses′ adversity quotient on work engagement, so as to provide a theoretical reference for nursing managers to promote work engagement.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 512 nurses from four tertiary hospitals in Shaanxi Province, and a cross-sectional study was conducted on them using the general information questionnaire, Adversity Response Profile, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9.Results:The total scores of nurses' adversity response profile, self-efficacy, positive coping style and work engagement were 132.00(120.00, 139.00), 27.00(23.00, 29.00), 24.00(20.00, 25.00), 27.00(25.00, 35.00) points. Nurses' work engagement was significantly positively correlated with adversity quotient, self-efficacy and positive coping styles( r values were 0.523-0.614, all P<0.01). The independent mediation of self-efficacy or positive coping styles and the chain mediation of both accounted for 23.6%,40.9% and 15.9% of the total effect respectively. Conclusions:Nurses′ adversity quotient not only directly affected work engagemnet, but also indirectly affected work engagement through self-efficacy and positive coping style. The research suggested that managers should pay attention to the improvement of nurses′ self-efficacy and positive coping style, so as to promote nurses′ work engagement.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the changes and clinical significance of high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) in condyloma acuminatum (CA).Methods:Sixty four patients with initial CA(initial group) and 48 patients with recurrent CA(recurrent goup) treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of PLA Air Force Military Medical University Hospital from January 2019 to November 2020 were included. In the same period, 31 patients who underwent circumcision and 19 female underwent sexual organ cosmetic plastic surgery were taken as the control group, and the normal foreskin and healthy vulva were collected. The expression of HMGB1 in wart was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), and the expression of soluble apoptosis related factor ligand (sFasL), cell lymphoma-2 gene (Bcl-2), soluble apoptosis related factor (SFAS) and Survivin, caspase-3 were detected. At the same time, serum interleukin (IL) - 6, IL-17, IL-23 and tumor necrosis factor - α (TNF- α) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results:The expression of HMGB1 mRNA in the warts of patients in the initial group, recurrence group and control group were 1.96 ± 0.20, 1.53 ± 0.14, 1.05 ± 0.11, there was statistical difference ( F = 15.20, P<0.05) ; the expression of HMGB1 mRNA in the warts of patients in the initial group was significantly higher than that in the recurrence group and the control group ( P<0.05), and the recurrence group was also significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The mRNA expressions of sFas, Bcl-2, sFasL and caspase-3 in the warts of patients in the initial group were significantly lower than those in the recurrence group and the control group: 0.52 ± 0.08 vs. 0.82 ± 0.16, 1.10 ± 0.19; 0.50 ± 0.05 vs. 0.79 ± 0.13, 1.08 ± 0.21; 0.47 ± 0.06 vs. 0.81 ± 0.15, 1.01 ± 0.19; 0.35 ± 0.04 vs. 0.68 ± 0.09, 0.91 ± 0.16, P<0.05; and the recurrence group were also significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The expression of Survivin mRNA in the warts of patients in the initial group was significantly higher than those in the recurrence group and the control group: 2.14 ± 0.40 vs. 1.60 ± 0.27, 0.99 ± 0.18, P<0.05, and the recurrence group was also significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the initial group were significantly lower than that in the recurrence group and the control group: (20.08 ± 1.95) μg/L vs. (26.93 ± 2.74), (37.65 ± 3.83) μg/L; (31.05 ± 3.24) μg/L vs. (38.13 ± 3.76), (45.98 ± 4.69) μg/L, P<0.05; and the recurrence group were also significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The serum levels of IL-17 and IL-23 in the primary group were significantly higher than those in the recurrence group and the control group: (423.71 ± 28.68) ng/L vs. (384.26 ± 21.70) and (335.43 ± 19.65) ng/L; (289.50 ± 18.53) ng/L vs. (251.07 ± 15.96) and (214.67 ± 13.20) ng/L, P<0.05; and the recurrence group were also significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that the mRNA expression of HMGB1 in the warts of CA patients were negatively correlated with the mRNA expression of caspase-3, sFas, Bcl-2 and sFasL in the warts ( r = - 0.602, - 0.734, - 0.692, - 0.717, P<0.05), and was positive correlation with Survivin mRNA expression ( r = 0.645, P<0.05); and were positive correlation with the contents of IL-17 and IL-23 in serum ( r = 0.673, 0.685, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 ( r = - 0.698, - 0.764, P<0.05). Conclusions:HMGB1 is obviously abnormal in the warts of patients with condyloma acuminatum, and is closely related to apoptosis, immune and inflammation-related factors, and may be jointly involved in the occurrence and recurrence of CA.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective     To explore the evolving strategies and compare perioperative and long-term outcomes of tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) in recent 20 years in our hospital. Methods    Between 1998 and 2018, the clinical data of 608 patients who underwent TVR at the Department of Cardiac Surgery, Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 201 males and 407 females, with a median age of 47.0 (36.0, 57.0) years. Patients were divided into a biological tricuspid valve (BTV, n=427) group and a mechanical tricuspid valve (MTV, n=181) group. Propensity score matching was used to balance the baseline difference. Surgical strategy evolving, postoperative and long-term outcomes were analyzed between the two groups. Results    Since 2008, the usage ratio of biological valves was significantly higher than that of mechanical valves. Seventy-nine (13.0%) patients died in hospital after TVR. Before propensity score matching, the postoperative mortality of the BTV group was higher than that of the MTV group (15.2% vs. 7.7%, P=0.012), and there was no statistical difference between the two groups after matching (10.4% vs. 7.2%, P=0.372). The duration of postoperative ventilator support in the BTV group was longer than that in the MTV group [22.0 (15.0, 37.0) h vs. 19.0 (11.0, 27.0) h, P=0.003], and the incidence of postoperative dialysis and re-thoracotomy exploring for bleeding was higher in the BTV group (8.9 % vs. 2.8%, 9.4% vs. 6.6%, respectively). However, there was no statistical difference in mortality after matching. The median follow-up time of discharged patients was 101.0 (65.0, 147.0) months, ranged from 1 to 265 months, and the follow-up rate was 82.2%. During the follow-up period, there were 101 deaths (19.1%) of whom 68 were from the BTV group and 33 from the MTV group. The survival rates at 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years and 20 years of all patients were 85.0% (95%CI 82.2-87.9), 78.9% (95%CI 75.7-82.4), 71.1% (95%CI 67.3-75.3), 59.7% (95%CI 54.2-65.6) and 51.7% (95%CI 43.3-60.7), and there was no statistical difference between the two groups after matching (P=0.46). The median time of tricuspid valve failure was 84.0 (54.0-111.0) months. Conclusion    TVR is associated with high perioperative risks. There is no statistical difference in early mortality and long-term survival between biological and mechanical valve, while patients with mechanical valve has higher risk of re-operation for valve failure. Therefore, the type of prosthetic valve can be selected according to the patients' age, physical condition and the doctors’ experience.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the clinical efficacy of first-line and salvage autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in the treatment of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 30 patients with DLBCL aged≤60 years old were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into first-line auto-HSCT group (15 cases) and salvage auto-HSCT group (refractory relapsed patients, 15 cases) according to the timing of transplantation, and the efficacy was analyzed. Anyone of the factors must be followed in patients receiving first-line HSCT: aaIPI score≥2 points, Ann-Arbor stage III-IV, large mass (diameter≥10 cm) or double expression of c-myc/BCL-2.@*RESULTS@#The median follow-up time for all patients after transplantation was 26 (3-103) months. Until the end of follow-up, 23 patients survived and 7 patients died. All the 7 dead patients with multiple organ failure due to the relapse and disease progression. The median survival time of 7 dead patients from transplantation to death was 6 (3-11) months. Among the 15 patients in the first-line auto-HSCT group, there were 2 patients relapsed (13.3%), 1 dead (6.7%), 14 patients survived [overall survival (OS) rate was 93.3%]. Among the 15 patients treated with salvage auto-HSCT, 6 patients died due to disease progression or relapse (40%), 9 cases survived (OS rate was 60%). There was a statistically significant difference in the mortality of patients between the two groups (6.7% vs 40%, P=0.006). The 3-year PFS and OS rates of patients in first-line auto-HSCT group were both 93.3%. The 3-year PFS and OS of patients in salvage auto-HSCT group were 58.7% and 59.2%. The 3-year OS and PFS of patients in the first-line auto-HSCT group were significantly higher than those in the salvage auto-HSCT group (P=0.03, P=0.04). The bone marrow suppression was the most common adverse complication and all patients showed grade III-IV granulocytopenia. Non-hematological adverse reactions were mainly gastrointestinal adverse reactions and oral mucositis. There was no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups.@*CONCLUSION@#First-line auto-HSCT can be used as a consolidation treatment for DLBCL patients with poor prognostic factors. Auto-HSCT can further improve the prognosis of salvage chemotherapy-sensitive patients with refractory relapsed DLBCL.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To compare the efficacy and safety of mitral valvuloplasty via minimally invasive approach with those of mitral valvuloplasty via traditional median sternotomy. Methods    A total of 1 221 patients undergoing mitral valvuloplasty from January 2015 to August 2018 in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were analyzed retrospectively, including 721 males and 500 females, with an average age of 47.2±15.1 years. According to the different surgical methods, they were divided into a study group (n=654), who received mitral valvuloplasty via the totally thoracoscopic approach, and a control group (n=567), who received mitral valvuloplasty via traditional median sternotomy. Clinical data, surgical results, and perioperative outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results    There was no significant difference in preoperative general data between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the study group had longer cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamping time (146.7±42.4 min vs. 122.7±30.6 min, 96.2±32.7 min vs. 78.3±23.8 min, both P=0.000), and shorter total operation time (227.4±55.3 min vs. 238.1±56.4 min, P=0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of secondary cross-clamping and mitral valve replacement between the two groups (3.7% vs. 2.6%, P=0.312; 1.7% vs. 1.4%, P=0.690). The blood transfusion rate and the incidence of respiratory tract infection and postoperative poor wound healing were lower (13.0% vs. 24.5%, 2.1%vs. 18.0%, 1.5% vs. 5.3%, all P=0.000) and the postoperative hospital stay was shorter (6.2±4.4 d vs. 11.5±8.8 d, P=0.000) in the study group. There was no significant difference in hospitalization expense between the two groups (95 847.9±31 322.0 yuan vs. 99 673.1±47 930.3 yuan, P=0.149). Within 30 d after surgery, 1 patient died in the study group and 4 patients died in the control group. Before discharge, there were 4 and 5 patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation in the study group and the control group, respectively. Conclusion    Compared with mitral valvuloplasty via traditional median sternotomy, minimally invasive mitral valvuloplasty is superior in shortening operation time and postoperative hospital stay, lowering blood transfusion rate, and reducing postoperative complications, which can achieve better clinical outcomes.

ABSTRACT

The development of chemotherapy resistance significantly impairs the efficiency of chemotherapy, but the underlying mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance in gastric cancer (GC) are complicated and still need to be further explored. Here, we aimed to reveal the effects of miR-4290/PDK1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1) axis on chemotherapy resistance of GC in vitro. The expression patterns of miR-4290 in GC tissues and cell lines were determined by real-time quantitative PCR. Kaplan-Meier was used to assess the relationship between miR-4290 expression levels and patients' overall survival. CCK-8 and flow cytometry technologies were applied to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis. The luciferase gene reporter assay was used to evaluate the interaction between miR-4290 and PDK1. miR-4290 was lowly expressed in GC tissues and cell lines, which was closely associated with the shorter overall survival of GC patients. miR-4290 mimics significantly inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis, as well as induced a significant reduction in the expression of PDK1. Moreover, miR-4290 significantly inhibited glycolysis and decreased the IC50 value to cisplatin in SGC7901 cells, whereas these effects were abolished and cell apoptosis was promoted when PDK1 was overexpressed. In conclusion, this study revealed that miR-4290 suppressed PDK1-mediated glycolysis to enhance the sensitivity of GC cells to cisplatin.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Huachansu in the treatment of cancer-related pain,four Chinese databases( CNKI,VIP,Wan Fang,Sino Med) and three English databases( Cochrane Library,Medline,PubMed) were systematically and comprehensively retrieved since the establishment of each database to October 2018. Randomized controlled trials( RCTs) for the treatment of cancer-related pain with Huachansu were screened out according to pre-established inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. Rev Man5. 3 software was used for Meta-analysis. A total of 241 articles were retrieved,and finally 10 studies were included. The total sample size was 1 293,including 648 in the experimental group and 645 in the control group. The overall quality of the included studies was generally low. The results of Meta-analysis showed that Huachansu combined with Western medicine acesodynes was superior to the single use of Western medicine acesodynes in the treatment of short-term pain relief,improvement of quality of life and reduction of constipation,nausea and vomiting,dizziness,drowsiness,anorexia and other adverse reactions. And it also has the advantage of a shorter onset time and longer duration time of analgesia,but cannot reduce the incidence of dysuria. Based on the findings,Huachansu had a certain effect in the treatment of cancer-related pain,and a significant positive effect on the improvement of quality of life and the reduction of adverse reactions. No serious adverse reactions occurred. However,due to the small number of studies included,the low quality of the included studies,published biases and other restrictions,the evidence in this study has a low quality,and the conclusion shall be adopted with caution. The effectiveness and safety of Huachansu in the treatment of cancer-related pain remained to be further confirmed in the future with a well-designed,rigorous,and standardized report,with a large sample size,multiple centers,and sufficient follow-up time for randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT

The randomized controlled trials about modified Sangbaipi Decoction in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease( AECOPD) patients were collected from 7 databases( PubMed,CNKI,et al) from the establishment to December 5,2018. All the studies searched were strictly evaluated. Literatures were independently screened by two researchers according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and the methodological quality of included studies was evaluated. To systematically review the efficacy of modified Sangbaipi Decoction in treating AECOPD,the Meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis were conducted by using Stata/SE 14. 0 and TSA 0. 9. 5. 10 Beta,respectively. A total of 25 RCTs involving 1 784 patients were included. According to the results of Meta-analysis,compared with the control groups,the trial group had a higher clinical efficacy in AECOPD patients( RR =1. 18,95%CI[1. 13,1. 22],P = 0),improved pulmonary functions including forced expiratory volume in one second( FEV1,WMD =0. 44,95%CI[0. 01,0. 87],P = 0. 046),and the forced vital capacity( FVC,WMD = 0. 42,95%CI[0. 07,0. 22],P = 0),but no statistical significance in the percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second( FEV1%,P = 0. 067) and the first seconds breathing volume percentage of forced vital capacity( FEV1/FVC,P = 0. 238); it improved the arterial oxygen partial pressure( PaO2,SMD =0. 85,95%CI[0. 41,1. 30],P = 0) and decreased the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide( PaCO2,SMD =-0. 94,95% CI[-1. 70,-0. 18],P= 0. 016); and in terms of inflammatory markers,it improved the white blood cell count( WBC,WMD=-0. 94,95%CI[-1. 17,-0. 70],P = 0). The trial sequential analysis showed that the studies included with the improvement of clinical efficacy had passed the conventional and TSA threshold,so as to further confirm the evidence. According to the findings,in addition to conventional Western medicine treatment,modified Sangbaipi Decoction could improve the efficiency in treating acute exacerbation patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,increase PaO2,and decrease PaCO2,with a high safety but no effect on pulmonary function. However,restricted by the low quality of studies included,this conclusion shall be further verified by more high-quality clinical trials.

ABSTRACT

Objectives@#To evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive surgery in patients with late severe tricuspid regurgitation after cardiac surgery, and to evaluate the role of leaflets augmentation technique in tricuspid valvuloplasty.@*Methods@#From January 2015 to June 2019, 85 patients undergoing tricuspid valve repair procedure with minimally invasive approach at Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Guangdong provincial People′s Hospital were enrolled. There were 22 males and 63 females, aging of (53.6±12.4) years (range: 15 to 75 years). The interval between the prior and current operations was (16.0±7.3) years (range: 0.2 to 35.0 years). The diameter of right atrium and right ventricle was (77.3±17.2) mm and (61.0±8.4) mm, respectively. Tricuspid regurgitation was severe or extremely severe, the tricuspid regurgitation area was (19.0±10.3) cm2. All patients underwent minimally invasive tricuspid valvuloplasty or tricuspid valve replacement on beating-heart with totally endoscopic technique and port-access approach through right chest wall. The operations included tricuspid valve replacement and tricuspid valvuloplasty, the technique of tricuspid valvuloplasty including leaflets augmentation with patch, ring implantation, chordae tendineaes reconstruction, release of papillary muscle, edge to edge method, etc. Postoperative hospitalization days, the time of ICU stay, blood transfusion rate, ventilator time and the results of echocardiography were recorded. Follow-up was completed regularly by WeChat, telephone and outpatient visit.@*Results@#Sixty-five patients underwent tricuspid valve repair, and 20 patients underwent tricuspid valve replacement because of prosthetic failure and plasty failure. Five patients died during hospitalization, with mortality rate 5.9%. One patient was transferred to local hospital for anti-infection treatment, the other 79 patients were discharged from hospital in well condition and followed-up. The postoperative hospitalization time was 7.0 (5.5) days (M(QR)) days, the mean ventilator time was 18.0 (16.2) hours, and the mean ICU stay time was 68.0 (75.5) hours. There were 35 patients without blood conduction transfusion, the transfusion rate was only 58.9% (50/85). Four cases of severe, 9 cases of moderate and 67 cases of mild to zero tricuspid regurgitation were examined before being discharged, with tricuspid regurgitation area of (2.8±3.5) cm2 (range: 0 to 19.1 cm2). The follow-up time was 1 to 38 months. Two patients died during follow-up, one patient died from infective endocarditis and mitral perivalvular leakage, the other one died of intractable right heart failure. One patient was implanted with permanent pacemaker due to Ⅲ atrioventricular block. Valvular re-replacement was performed in 2 patients who were re-admitted for the artificial valve infection and mechanical valve obstruction. No re-operation of tricuspid valve.@*Conclusions@#Totally endoscopic minimally invasive technique provided satisfactory surgical outcomes for critically sick patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation following cardiac surgery. The application of leaflets augmentation technique achieved ideal repair effect for previously unrepairable lesions.

ABSTRACT

·AIM: To investigate the role of small interference RNA interference targeted Integrin-linked kinase (ILK SiRNA) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human Tenon fibroblasts (HTFs) induced by transforming growth factor-β2(TGF-β2). · METHODS: The HTFs were identified by immunofluorescence analysis with Vimentin and keratin. HTFs with no other addiction was as normal control;H+T group:HTFs+5μ g/L TGF-β2;H+T+NC SiRNA group:HTFs+5μ g/L TGF-β2+50nmol/L negtive SiRNA; H+T+ILK SiRNA group:HTFs+5μ g/L TGF-β2+50nmol/L ILK SiRNA. The ILK SiRNA were transfected into HTFs by lipofectamine 2000, then the cells were stimulated with 5μ g/L TGF - β2. The protein expression of ILK were analyzed by Western Blot. The proliferation levels of HTFs were analyzed by CCK-8, the apoptosis of HTFs were analyzed by Hoechst 33342/PI double staining. ·RESULTS: The protein ILK were expressed in both TGF-β2treated and control groups, and TGF- β2up-regulated the expression of ILK, ILK SiRNA inhibited the protein expression of ILK(P< 0. 05). CCK- 8 analysis showed that compared with the normal control group,the cell proliferation rate of HTFs in TGF-β2treated group increased, and in ILK SiRNA group the cell proliferation rate was suppressed after exposured to ILK SiRNA for 48h (P<0.05). Hoechst 33342/PI double staining showed that there was no change on the apoptosis of TGF - β2 stimulated group (P>0.05), compared with the normal control group, however in the ILK SiRNA group, we found lots of apoptosis cells and a few of necrotic cells (P<0.05). ·CONCLUSION: The ILK SiRNA attenuates the abnormal proliferation of HTFs induced by TGF - β2, thereby enhancing the apoptosis of HTFs.

ABSTRACT

· AIM:To study whether autophagy and paraptosis were activated in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) after acute high intraocular pressure (lOP) in an experimental rat model and to explore the possible underlying mechanisms.· METHODS:A total of 50 male Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats were randomly divided into normal control group,and 3d,1,4,8wk group after acute elevated intraocular pressure(IOP) (n =10 per group).Acute intraocular hypertension model was established by anterior chamber perfusion of normal saline in the right eye.The expression levels of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) was measured by immumofluorescence method.To determine whether autophagy and paraptosis were activated.Retinal sections were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Autophagosomes and cytoplasmic vacuoles in the cytoplasm of RGCs were measured.· RESULTS:TEM analysis revealed that double-and multiple-membrane vacuoles containing electron-dense materials of autophagosomes were found in RGCs.The number of autophagosomes per 50μ m2 were 0.79 ± 0.43,2.14±0.36,2.29±0.47,1.57±0.51 and 1.21±0.43 in the normal control group and in acute IOP group at 3d,1wk,4wk,8wk,respectively.The number of autophagosomes markedly increased in the cytoplasm of RGCs at 3d,1wk,4wk,8wk groups than those in the normal control group (all at P< 0.05).LC3 positive expression was rarely detected in ganglion cell layer (GCL) in the normal control group and percentage of LC3 positive cells was 15.90%.Immumofluorescence analysis showed that the percentage of LC3 positive cells statistically increased in acute lOP groups when compared with control group (P<0.05).The number of RGCs per 200μm in each group of acute lOP injury significantly decreased compared with the normal control group (P < 0.05).Cytoplasmatic vacuolization were observed in RGCs at 3d after acute lOP injury and lasting to 8wk.TEM also revealed that a large number of cytoplasmic vacuoles were derived predominantly from the progressive swelling of mitochondria and/or endoplasmic reticulum (ER).· CONCLUSION:Autophagy and paraptosis participate in the death of RGCs under transiently elevated intraocular pressure.Different types of programmed cell death (PCD),coexistence of multiple cell death forms or a single cell death form,participates in the pathogenesis of acute elevation of intraocular pressure.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate whether paraptosis and autophagy have an effect on acute retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) in an experimental rat model that recapitulates features of acute hypertensive glaucoma and to explore the possible underlying mechanisms.Methods A total of 30 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into RIRI group and control group.The acute RIRI model was induced with normal saline in the right eye of rats from the RIRI group by anterior chamber perfusion,while the rats in the control group left untreated.On day 1,day 3,day 7,day 28 after RIRI model establishment,the changes in morphology of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM),and the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) was measured by immumofluorescence methods.Results When compared with the control group,the number of cytoplasmic vacuoles predominantly derived from the progressive swelling of mitochondria and/or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in RGCs were increased in the RIRI group from day 1 to day 28 by TEM.And ultra-structural analyses showed the double-or multiple-membrane autophagosomes were markedly accumulated in the cytoplasm of RGCs following acute RIRI.The average number of autophagic vacuoles in the cytoplasm of RGCs was 0.79 per 50 μm2 in the control group,and the average number of autophagosomes reached to a maximum on day 7 after acute RIRI at 2.29 per 50 μm2,which was statistically significant compared with the control group (P < 0.05).Compared to the control group,LC3 expression in the cytoplasm of RGCs was up-regulated on day 1 after acute RIRI,which sustained throughout the experimental period.The percentage of LC3 positive cells in the retinal ganglion cell layer was 15.90% in the control group,and the data was 46.95% and 52.30% on day 1 and day 28 after RIRI,respectively,both which were statistically significant compared with the normal control group (both P < 0.05).Conclusion Both paraptosis and autophagy participate in death of RGCs after acute RIRI.Programmed cell death in different cells,either coexistence of multiple-cell death form or a single-cell death form,participates in the pathogenesis of acute RIRI.

ABSTRACT

·AIM: To investigate the anti - aging effect and its potential mechanisms of simvastatin on retinas of physiological aging rats.·METHODS:Totally 40 three-month old healthy SD rats which had no eye diseases, were randomly assigned into two groups: simvastatin group ( n = 20 ) and control group ( n=20 ) . All rats were cultivated under the same conditions until they were nine - month old when interventions started to be given. Simvastatin group was given intragastric administration of 5mg/kg simvastatin every day until 17-month old. Control group was given intragastric administration of same amount of saline gavage. Retinal thickness was measured by HE staining, while Cu - Zn - SOD, NOX2, Bcl - 2 and Bax were determined by immunohistochemistry ( IHC) .·RESULTS:HE staining showed that the retinal structure was clearer; the morphology of cell was more homogeneous;the number of cells was more stable and the structure of retinal pigment epithelium was more compact when compared with control group. Thickness of retinal neuroepithelium layer and retinal pigment epithelium increased significantly in the simvastatin group. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that the expressions of Cu - Zn - SOD and Bax statistically increased while the NOX2, Bcl-2 as well as Bcl-2/Bax decreased in simvastatin group when compared with control group (P<0. 05).·CONCLUSION: Simvastatin plays a protective role in retinal aging by decreasing oxidative stress reaction and promoting cell apoptosis.

ABSTRACT

Isocorydine and its analogs were extracted from Dicranostigma leptopodum and Stephania yunnanensis through the method of natural products chemistry. Its derivatives were prepared by chemical structure modifications from isocorydine. MTT method was used to study the inhibitory effect of those compounds on the growth of HepG2, HeLa and MGC-803 cancer cell lines in vitro. The results showed that isocorydine and its analogs all have the growth inhibition for those cancer cell lines. This paper investigated the structure-activity relationship of isocorydine and its derivatives with anticancer activity in the aspect of stereochemical structure, functional groups positions of the compounds and the electron density of aromatic rings based on the single crystal diffraction structure and the molecular docking of EGFR and isocorydine.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To study the preventive and therapeutic effect of N-Acetyl-l-cysteine on infection-associated preterm labor in mice.@*METHODS@#A total of 66 C57BL/6 inbred strain pregnant mice were selected and randomly divided into groups A, B and C, with 22 cases in each group. Group A, B and C were regarded as model group, prevention group and treatment group, respectively. The model of infection-associated preterm labor was built by intraperitoneal injection of Escherichia coli. Ten mice of each group were taken and observed the preterm birth rates and live birth rates, respectively. Three mice of each group were killed at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after building the model. Their uterus tissues were collected and the expressions of the AP-1 and MCP-1 in those tissues were assayed with immunohistochemical method and the expressions of NF-κBp65 and TNF-α protein in the placenta tissues of those mice were also detected with immunohistochemical method.@*RESULTS@#The preterm birth rates of mice in groups B and C were significantly lower than that in group A, while their live birth rates were distinctly higher than that in group A (P  0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#N-Acetyl-l-cysteine can lower the incidence rate of infection-associated preterm labor by prohibiting the activation of the protein AP-1/MCP-1 and decreasing the expression of NF-κBp65 and TNF-α in the pregnant tissues of premature mice to reduce the inflammatory reactions.
