Regulatory effect of the zinc transporter Zip2 on cardiomyocyte mitochondrial respiration function after cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice / 生理学报

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of zinc transporter Zip2 (SLC39A2) on mitochondrial respiration during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and the underlying mechanisms. An in vivo myocardial I/R model was established in mice by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery. Cardiac zinc concentration was measured by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES), and the mitochondrial respiratory function and oxidative phosphorylation were determined by high-resolution respirometry (Oxygraph-2K). The phosphorylation levels of STAT3 and ERK in myocardial tissue were detected by Western blot. The results showed that, compared with the sham group, cardiac zinc concentration in myocardium was decreased in wild-type mice and further reduced in Zip2 knockout mice after I/R. Mitochondrial respiratory control rate (RCR) and oxidative phosphorylation were decreased in Zip2 knockout mice and worsened by I/R. Phosphorylation levels of STAT3 (Ser) and ERK were significantly decreased in Zip2 knockout mice after I/R. In I/R myocardial tissue, STAT3 overexpression significantly improved the mitochondrial respiratory function, while STAT3 dominant negative mutant (STAT3 S727A) inhibited mitochondrial respiratory function. Moreover, the impairment of mitochondrial function by Zip2 knockout was reversed by STAT3 overexpression. These results suggest that Zip2 regulates mitochondrial respiration via phosphorylation of STAT3 during myocardial I/R, which may represent the underlying mechanism of Zip2 cardioprotection against I/R injury.

Objective To preliminarily validate the clinical usability of the ameliorated Kawashima Itch Scale(Xie-Kawashima Itch Scale) among adult pruritic patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Methods Xie-Kawashima Itch Scale was developed on the basis of Kawashima Itch Scale. Patients were asked to record their pruritus condition according to Xie-Kawashima Itch Scale or visual analogue scale(VAS) during daytime and night for two weeks. The record at the second week was used for analyzing the correlation between Xie-Kawashima Itch Scale and VAS. Results Totally 134 patients were enrolled in this study,among whom 128 entered the final analysis. Xie-Kawashima Itch Scale was positively correlated with VAS(r=0.832,95% CI=0.810-0.851,P<0.01 for daytime record;and r=0.848,95% CI=0.828-0.865,P<0.01 for night record). Subgroup analysis also showed similar correlations between different age groups and among different gender groups. Conclusion Xie-Kawashima Itch Scale has good correlation with VAS in patients on hemodialysis,without being affected by age or gender. Thus,it can be a useful tool for the assessment of pruritus in clinical practice and research.

Inhibition effect of miR-577 on hepatocellular carcinoma cell growth via targeting β-catenin

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression and the regulation effect of cell growth of microRNA-577 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).@*METHODS@#qRT-PCR was applied to detect the relative expression of miR-577 in 70 paired HCC and matched tumor adjacent tissues collecting from resection between March 2011 and March 2014. Pearson chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between the miR-577 expression and clinical features. The miR-577 mimics were transfected into HepG2 cells; cell cycles were detected by flow cytometry, cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay and BrdU incorporation assay, and cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry and caspase3/7 activity analysis. The expressions of β-catenin were measured by immunohistochemistry. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between miR-577 and β-catenin. qRT-PCR and western-blot were used to detect the expression of β-catenin in transfected HepG2 cells.@*RESULTS@#The relative expressions of miR-577 was significantly lower in HCC tissues compared to the matched normal tumor-adjacent tissues (P < 0.05). Low expression of miR-577 was significantly associated with large tumor size (≥5 cm, P < 0.05) and advanced tumor node metastasis stage (III+IV, P < 0.05). Transfection of miR-577 mimics could inhibit repress cell proliferation, enhance cell apoptosis and block the cell cycles in G0/G1 phase (P < 0.05). miR-577 in HCC group had a significant negative correlation relationship with the expression of downstream target of β-catenin (P < 0.05). Both the mRNA and protein expression in HepG2 cells were down-regulated after transfection (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Low expression of miR-577 is related to the malignant clinicopathological features in HCC tissues, and miR-577 may suppress HCC growth through down-regulating β-catenin.

HIV/AIDS epidemic situation and data analysis among young students from 2006-2009 in China / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective To analyze the HIV/AIDS epidemic situation and related behavioral components among young students in the last years and to provide information for integrated control and prevention programs. Methods Data on young students (1 5-24 years) through case reporting system was collected from 2006 to 2009 and continuous sentinel surveillance data regarding 6 national sentinel sites carried out from 2006 to 2009 was also collected. The sentinel sites would include universities, junior college and secondary vocational colleges registered students, using cluster sampling phases method. Self-administered questionnaire survey and blood (HIV antibody testing and syphilis antibody testing) tests were carried out, with the sample size was about 800 cases per site per year. Results The number of case report on HIV/AIDS among the young students of 15-24 years age group had been rising. Similar trend was also observed on the number of reported cases over the years, accounting for the proportions of the total number of reported cases, as 0.39%, 0.50%, 0.83%and 1.02% respectively from 2006 to 2009. Sexual contacts continued to be the major route of transmission, with the increasing proportion of homosexual transmission. In the 6 national sentinel sites of young students which continuous surveillance was conducted during the period from 2006 to 2009, data showed the following facts as: proportion (median) of objects who admmited to have had sex, were: 4.3%, 4.5 % and 6.1%, proportions (median) of commercial sex occurred in the past year were: 0.3%, 0.2% and 0.3%; proportions (median) of MSM occurred in the past year were: 0.7%,0.2% and 0.2%; median of HIV antibody positive rate and syphilis antibody positive rate were 0%;median of awareness rate on HIV/AIDS were: 49.0%, 75.0% and 80.5%; proportion (median) of monitor objects who received intervention services in the past year were: 44.2%, 54.3% and 50.2% respectively. Conclusion In recent years, the HIV / AIDS number through case reporting system on the young students under 15-24 years age group, was increasing, but the HIV prevalence among young students was still relatively low, in general. The main transmission was sexual. Some young students had been engaged in commercial sex and MSM activities. Health education should be strengthened to increase the awareness of young students on AIDS/STD prevention. It is necessary to take more effective intervention measures to decrease new infection and control HIV/AIDS epidemic among young students.

Establishment and evaluation of experimental sepsis mouse model / 中国实验血液学杂志

After treating with chemotherapy or immunosuppressant, malignant diseases of hematopoietic system such as leukemia, malignant lymphoma and aplastic anemia usually induced severe infection such as sepsis. Sepsis which is hard to be diagnosed causes high death rate. This study was purposed to establish an experimental sepsis mouse model so as to provide a basis for pathogenesis and intervention study. A classic caecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was used to establish experimental sepsis model. ELISA was used to detect levels of C5a, IL-6, TNFalpha, and IFN-gamma. Flow Cytometry was applied to measure apoptosis of lymphocytes in thymus and mesentery. The pathologic changes of thymus and spleen were confirmed by HE staining. The results showed that almost 70%-80% mice died at 72 hours after CLP. Only approximate 20% animal survived during finite time, mice in CLP group had significant weight lose. Meanwhile large release of different inflammatory mediators which are related with sepsis (C5a, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma) was observed after CLP. Apoptosis of lymphocytes in thymus and mesentery lymphonodus was enhanced markedly after CLP. Significantly pathologic injury was also observed in thymus and spleen. It is concluded that a mouse model of experimental sepsis was successfully established by caecal ligation and puncture which can well mimic the clinical symptom of sepsis. The experimental sepsis mouse model provides an excellent tool for exploring the pathogenesis and intervention ways for sepsis accompanied with complicated malignant hematological diseases in vivo.
