脑出血继发损伤中沉默信息调节因子2的表达和炎症反应*

目的：探讨脑出血对酵母沉默信息调节因子2（Sirt2）和炎症的影响。方法：将胶原酶Ⅳ注入SD大鼠右侧 纹状体中建立脑出血模型，通过免疫印迹和ELISA 等方法测定大鼠脑出血后48 h 的Sirt2 的表达及炎症变化。利 用Hemin 诱导PC12 细胞损伤模拟体外脑出血模型，并检测Sirt2 及炎症变化；采用短发夹RNA（shRNA）-Sirt2 沉 默Sirt2 在PC12 细胞中的表达及对炎症的影响。结果：手术后48 h 脑出血行为学评分最低。脑出血组Sirt2 的表达 显著高于假手术组。脑出血组IL-6、IL-1β 表达显著升高。结论：脑出血可以促进Sirt2 的表达和炎症反应，降低 Sirt2 的表达可减缓炎症反应。 关键词 脑出血；沉默信息调节     

Fluoxetine-induced hepatic lipid accumulation is mediated by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 1 and is linked to elevated 15-deoxy-Δ12,14PGJ2

Major depressive disorder and other neuropsychiatric disorders are often managed with long-term use of antidepressant medication. Fluoxetine, an SSRI antidepressant, is widely used as a first-line treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders. However, fluoxetine has also been shown to increase the risk of metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Fluoxetine has been shown to increase hepatic lipid accumulation in vivo and in vitro. In addition, fluoxetine has been shown to alter the production of prostaglandins which have also been implicated in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The goal of this study was to assess the effect of fluoxetine exposure on the prostaglandin biosynthetic pathway and lipid accumulation in a hepatic cell line (H4-II-E-C3 cells). Fluoxetine treatment increased mRNA expression of prostaglandin biosynthetic enzymes (Ptgs1, Ptgs2, and Ptgds), PPAR gamma (Pparg), and PPAR gamma downstream targets involved in fatty acid uptake (Cd36, Fatp2, and Fatp5) as well as production of 15-deoxy-Δ^12,14PGJ₂ a PPAR gamma ligand. The effects of fluoxetine to induce lipid accumulation were attenuated with a PTGS1 specific inhibitor (SC-560), whereas inhibition of PTGS2 had no effect. Moreover, SC-560 attenuated 15-deoxy-Δ^12,14PGJ₂ production and expression of PPAR gamma downstream target genes. Taken together these results suggest that fluoxetine-induced lipid abnormalities appear to be mediated via PTGS1 and its downstream product 15d-PGJ₂ and suggest a novel therapeutic target to prevent some of the adverse effects of fluoxetine treatment.     

Outcomes after neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy for cT2-4N0-1 non–small cell lung cancer: A propensity-matched analysis

Objective

Comparative survival between neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with cT2-4N0-1M0 non–small cell lung cancer has not been extensively studied.

醛糖还原酶和晚期糖基化终末产物受体对糖尿病视网膜病变神经元凋亡的影响

目的　探究醛糖还原酶和晚期糖基化终末产物受体对糖尿病视网膜病变神经元凋亡的影响。方法　Wistar大鼠36只，随机分为对照组、模型组、转染组，后两组建立糖尿病大鼠模型。模型建立成功后，构建含有晚期糖基化终末产物受体siRNA的质粒并利用慢病毒转染入转染组大鼠体内。造模后4周、8周、12周，记录各组大鼠体质量及空腹血糖。造模后9周，禁食6 h，测定口服葡萄糖耐量。造模后12周，处死全部大鼠后，TUNEL法检测各组大鼠视网膜神经元凋亡情况，荧光分光光度计测定醛糖还原酶活性，Western blotting法测定晚期糖基化终末产物受体的表达，RT-PCR检测视网膜中Bcl-2和Bax mRNA相对表达量。结果　造模后4周、8周、12周，转染组和模型组的大鼠体质量均低于对照组（均为P<0.05）；造模后12周，转染组大鼠体质量高于模型组（P<0.05）。造模后4周、8周、12周，各组内大鼠空腹血糖水平均无明显变化（均为P>0.05），转染组和模型组大鼠的空腹血糖水平均高于对照组（均为P<0.05）。模型组和转染组大鼠在口服葡萄糖后30 min时，血糖水平均高于对照组（均为P<0.05）；在120 min时分别下降至最低，但仍高于对照组（均为P<0.05）。模型组和转染组的视网膜神经元凋亡指数、醛糖还原酶活性、晚期糖基化终末产物受体和Bax mRNA相对表达量均高于对照组（均为P<0.05），且转染组均高于模型组（均为P<0.05）。模型组和转染组的Bcl-2 mRNA相对表达量均低于对照组（均为P<0.05），转染组低于模型组（P<0.05）。结论　晚期糖基化终末产物结合受体后产生大量的氧自由基损伤，可能是导致糖尿病视网膜神经元凋亡，进而导致糖尿病视网膜病变发生的机制之一。     

Patient preferences and predicted relative uptake for targeted therapies in metastatic colorectal cancer: a discrete choice experiment

Abstract

Objective

Ras wild-type metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRC) may be treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) agents. We aim to estimate patients’ preferences for mCRC treatment and relative importance of cost, efficacy improvement, avoidance of side effects and therapy convenience, and relative uptake between profiles that resemble Bevacizumab (anti-VEGF) and Cetuximab (anti-EGFR), two commonly prescribed mCRC targeted therapies.
