Melatonin induces apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells through HDAC4 nuclear import mediated by CaMKII inactivation

Melatonin induces apoptosis in many different cancer cell lines, including colorectal cancer. However, the precise mechanisms involved remain largely unresolved. In this study, we provide evidence to reveal a new mechanism by which melatonin induces apoptosis of colorectal cancer LoVo cells. Melatonin at pharmacological concentrations significantly suppressed cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in a dose‐dependent manner. The observed apoptosis was accompanied by the melatonin‐induced dephosphorylation and nuclear import of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4). Pretreatment with a HDAC4‐specific siRNA effectively attenuated the melatonin‐induced apoptosis, indicating that nuclear localization of HDAC4 is required for melatonin‐induced apoptosis. Moreover, constitutively active Ca²⁺/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II alpha (CaMKIIα) abrogated the melatonin‐induced HDAC4 nuclear import and apoptosis of LoVo cells. Furthermore, melatonin decreased H3 acetylation on bcl‐2 promoter, leading to a reduction of bcl‐2 expression, whereas constitutively active CaMKIIα(T286D) or HDAC4‐specific siRNA abrogated the effect of melatonin. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that melatonin‐induced apoptosis in colorectal cancer LoVo cells largely depends on the nuclear import of HDAC4 and subsequent H3 deacetylation via the inactivation of CaMKIIα.     

2015—2017年解放军总医院抗震颤麻痹药物的使用情况分析

目的 了解解放军总医院抗震颤麻痹药物的应用情况与用药趋势。方法 采用世界卫生组织（WHO）推荐的以限定日剂量（DDD）为指标的分析方法，对2015-2017年解放军总医院抗震颤麻痹药物的销售金额、用药频度（DDDs）、日均费用（DDC）及排序比（B/A）等进行统计分析。结果 普拉克索、多巴丝肼和恩他卡朋的用药金额始终处于前3位，普拉克索的用药金额逐渐上升，卡比多巴/左旋多巴的用药金额逐渐下降；DDDs排序列前2位的是多巴丝肼和司来吉兰，多巴丝肼的DDDs逐年上升，一直处于第1位；2015-2016年各种抗震颤麻痹药物的DDC较为稳定，2016-2017年各种抗震颤麻痹药物的DDC开始略有下降；除普拉克索和恩他卡朋的B/A始终小于1.00，其他抗震颤麻痹药物的B/A均在1.00以上波动。结论 解放军总医院抗震颤麻痹药物的使用较为合理，其中多巴丝肼、普拉克索和司来吉兰具有很好的市场前景。     

液体复苏在高呼吸末正压通气导致的肺泡微循环障碍中的作用

目的明确高呼气末正压（PEEP）条件下肺泡微循环的变化情况以及液体复苏在高PEEP情况下对肺泡微循环的影响。 方法选用北京当地的15条健康成年杂种狗进行实验，分别观察基线（PEEP 5 cmH₂O，1 cmH₂O=0.098 kPa）、高PEEP（平均动脉压下降≥20 mmHg，1 mmHg=0.133 kPa）及液体复苏后的呼吸、系统循环及肺泡微循环情况，肺泡微循环利用旁流暗视野成像（SDF）技术进行观察、留取视频结果，线下利用AVA3.2软件进行分析，不同条件下的实验数据之间的差异利用Wilcoxon秩和检验进行分析。 结果高PEEP可导致中心静脉压（CVP）升高（P=0.001）及心输出量（CO）下降（P=0.002），肺泡微循环表现为总微血管数量（TVDa，P=0.036）、灌注血管数量（PVDa，P=0.002）、灌注血管比例（PPVa，P=0.003）、血流状态（MFIa，P=0.002）显著下降，肺泡周围毛细血管密度下降不明显（TVDs，P=0.319）；液体复苏恢复整体循环后，微循环参数均无显著改善。 结论过高的PEEP水平可导致肺泡微循环的显著恶化，通过液体复苏不能改善由此产生的微循环障碍。

腹腔镜微创治疗高龄完全性直肠脱垂

目的探讨腹腔镜微创治疗高龄完全性直肠脱垂的手术方法,总结手术操作体会及临床治疗经验。方法总结2012年6月~2017年6月收治的22例完全性直肠脱垂患者的临床资料,患者年龄67~79岁,均在腹腔镜下行悬吊固定。结肠造影和术中均可见明显增厚且冗长的乙状结肠,直肠周围组织宽松,膀胱直肠窝或子宫直肠窝之间脂肪结缔组织明显增厚,尤其是直肠前壁。术中切除直肠周围增厚的脂肪结缔组织,切除冗长的乙状结肠和直肠上端,行结肠直肠吻合。结果所有患者手术顺利,无中转开腹。手术时间平均(86.59±14.84)min,出血量平均(63.41±23.67)ml,术后住院时间平均(10.01±1.57)d。无吻合口出血、感染、肠瘘等并发症发生,无术中死亡或术后2周内死亡病例。22患者均获得临床治愈,随访2~4年,平均(2.81±0.91)年,患者排便次数1~2次/d,肛门功能正常,无复发。结论腹腔镜下微创切除直肠周围增厚的结缔组织、切除冗长的乙状结肠和直肠上端,是一种较好的微创治疗高龄直肠脱垂的方法。     

Comparison of Laparoscopic-Assisted Operations and Laparotomy Operations for the Treatment of Hirschsprung Disease: Evidence From a Meta-Analysis

The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare the relative merits among laparoscopic-assisted operations and laparotomy operations for patients with Hirschsprung disease.PubMed, Web of Science, and Wanfang databases were searched for the related articles. We analyzed dichotomous variables by estimating odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and continuous variables using the weighted mean difference (WMD) with the 95% CI. The random-effects model (REM) was used to combine the results. The outcome measures included operating time (OT), estimated blood loss (EBL), length of hospital stay (LOHS), mean first bowel movement (MFBM), and number of complications.Sixteen articles were included in the meta-analysis. These studies involved a total of 774 patients, 396 of whom underwent laparoscopic-assisted operations and 378 of whom underwent laparotomy operations. The EBL (WMD = −1.48, 95% CI = −1.82, −1.13), LOHS (WMD = −0.67, 95% CI = −0.86, −0.49), MFBM (WMD = −0.83, 95% CI = −1.05, −0.61), and number of complications (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.40, 0.89) were significantly lower in laparoscopic-assisted operations than in laparotomy operations. The OT (WMD = 0.12, 95% CI = −0.05, 0.28) showed no significant differences between laparoscopic-assisted operations and laparotomy operations.Compared with laparotomy operations, laparoscopic-assisted operations are generally safer and more reliable for patients with Hirschsprung disease.
