RASAL3 promotes the proliferation of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells by up regulating the expression of FXYD6 / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the expression of RASAL3 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) and the mechanism of promoting iCCA development.Methods:Tumor and paracancerous tissues were collected from 185 iCCA patients, the expression of RASAL3 was detected by immunohistochemistry, RT-qPCR and Western blot. The expression of RASAL3 and FXYD6 mRNA and protein in human cholangiocarcinoma cell line and human bile duct epithelial cells were detected with RT-qPCR and Western blot, the cell proliferation was detected with CCK-8 assay, and the activity of Na +-K +-ATPase was also detected. Results:RASAL3 was highly expressed in cholangiocarcinoma tissues and cell lines; Survival analysis showed that RASAL3 overexpression was associated with poor prognosis of cholangiocarcinoma( P<0.05) and knockdown of RASAL3 inhibits the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells; Silencing RASAL3 decreases the expression of FXYD6 inhibiting the activity of Na +-K +-ATPase. Conclusion:RASAL3 is up-regulated in human cholangiocarcinoma, which can promote the occurrence and development of cholangiocarcinoma by activating FXYD6 and affecting Na +-K +-ATPase activity.

Meta-analysis on Chitosan in repair clinical surgery wounds healing / 药物评价研究

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of chitosan in the repair of clinical surgery wounds.Methods The databases of Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (CCTR),Embase database,Medline database,PubMed database,CNKI database,WanFang database,VIP database and Chinese Biomedical Journal Library (CMCC) were retrieved with computer for collecting randomized controlled trials (RCT) about the repair clinical surgery wounds healing.Meta-analysis on all the data are carried out by RevMan 5.0 software.Results There were totally 16 trials and 3414 patients included.The results showed that the wound healing time ofchitosan was significantly shorter than that of the control group [WMD =-0.64,95％CI (-0.69～-0.59),P ＜ 0.000 01],and chitosan can better promote wound healing [RR =1.03,95％CI (1.01～1.04),P =0.0002].In experimental group,postoperativepain were reliever [WMD =-3.49,95％CI (-5.07～-1.91),P ＜ 0.0001],and postoperative infection were reduced [RR =0.49,95％CI (0.33～0.71),P =0.0002].Conclusion The existing evidences indicate that chitosan can shorten postoperative wound healing time,promote wound healing,relieve pain,and reduce infection.However,the study is limited by the quality of included literature,more clinical trials should be done to confirm the effective and safety.

Effect of atorvastatin on adventitial fibroblast phenotype differentiation in atherosclerosis of apolipoprotein E-knockout mice / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To explore the effect of atorvastatin on the expression of α-SMA and TGF-β1 in the adventi-tia of ApoE-/-mice with atherosclerosis, and to investigate the underlying mechanism of atorvastatin therapy.METHODS:Male ApoE-/-mice (n =40) at 6-weeks of age were used to establish the atherosclerosis model by feeding with high fat diet. The mice were randomly divided into model group and atorvastatin group.In atorvastatin group, the mice were lavaged with atorvastatin at dose of 20 mg? kg-1? d-1 .The mice in model group were given normal saline.C57BL/6 mice of the same age served as control group, feeding with ordinary food.The mice were respectively sacrificed at the time points of 10 and 15 weeks after feeding with different diets.The ascending aorta was removed for serial sectioning.Some sections were per-formed with Movat staining in order to observe the morphological changes of the tissues, and to measure the relative athero-sclerotic plaque area and the thickness of the adventitia.Some sections were stained with Sirius red to identify the collagen synthesis.Immunohistochemistry assay was prepared to observe the expression of α-SMA and TGF-β1 in the adventitia at different time points.The expression of TGF-β1 at mRNA and protein levels in the thoracoabdominal aorta was measured by RT-qPCR and Western blot.RESULTS: Compared with model group, the formation of plaque in atorvastatin group signifi-cantly descended.Meanwhile the adventitial thickness and collagen synthesis also decreased.The results of immunohisto- chemical staining showed that compared with 10 weeks-model group, α-SMA and TGF-β1 in 15 weeks-model group was in-creased.The expression of α-SMA and TGF-β1 in atorvastatin group decreased significantly compared with model group. The expression of TGF-β1 at mRNA and protein levels in model group were higher than those in control group.They de-creased in atorvastatin group compared with model group.Compared with 10 weeks-model group, the mRNA and protein of TGF-β1 in 15 weeks-model group were increased.CONCLUSION: Atorvastatin modulates adventitial fibroblast phenotype differentiation by suppressing expression of TGF-β1 and intervenes atherosclerotic development in ApoE.

Pracice and Exploration of Open-laboratory in Pathophysiology / 中华医学教育探索杂志

From September of 2006,Department of Pathophysiology opened laboratory to the undergraduates of 2004 grade.Stu- dents chose titles and designed experiments by themselves,and after expert teachers' assessment,they put them into practice. Functional Laboratory of the college is in charge of the oprtation and administration of it.Through this semester's practice and exploration,we got satisfactory effect and great welcome from students.

Let talk teaching into pathophysiologic teaching / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Talk teaching is an effective form of teaching research activity.It focuses on the teachers,teaching ideas and their abilities of curriculum development,curriculum designing and teaching practice.It is of great significance in optimizing pathophysiologic teaching,improving the teaching effect and teachers'quality.It is worth discussing and promoting.Talk teaching should be the basic skill necessary to the teachers of basic medicine.
