The ONG capsular lens,report of 100 implantations

This Capsular Lens (ONG, type IV, to be called O.C.L.) has been developed for routinely performed extracapsular cataract extraction with lens implantation. The fundamental surgical procedure was based on continuing experience with the bimanual aspiration-irrigation technique and system developed by the author in 1971. The biomechanical properties of the asymmetric partly flexible, haptic loops are designed to give tensionfree fixation in two capsular pockets. The plano-anterior position of the lens ensures well-defined irido-lenticular clearance and proper alignment of the convex side with the posterior capsule. Consequently no iridectomy or iridotomy is needed for proper aqueous flow.     

CD98 is a promising prognostic biomarker in biliary tract cancer

CD98 has been described to play a crucial role in tumor progression and survival. However, the role of CD98 in biliary tract cancer remains unclear. We found that 36.7% of all patients with biliary tract cancer had a high CD98 expression. Statistical analysis using Spearman's rank correlation showed that CD98 was significantly correlated with L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1, r=0.562, P<0.001), Ki-67 (r=0.230, P=0.006) and CD34 (r=0.290, P=0.005). Multivariate analysis confirmed that a high CD98 expression was an independent prognostic factor for predicting poor outcome. CD98 is closely associated with tumor growth, biological aggressiveness, and survival of patients. With these data we proposed that CD98 expression is necessary for the development and pathogenesis of biliary tract cancer.(Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2014;13:654-657)

目的 探讨微小RNA-148a-3p（miR-148a-3p）对丝裂原活化蛋白激酶激酶激酶9（MAP3K9）的靶向调控作用及对胃癌细胞增殖和凋亡的影响。方法 向对数生长期胃癌细胞株MGC-803转染miR-148a-3p模拟物（mimics组）和阴性对照（NC组），以未转染的MGC-803细胞为对照组；采用实时定量PCR（QPCR）检测各组miR-148a-3p水平以评价转染效率，MTT法检测各组细胞增殖能力，流式细胞术检测各组细胞凋亡情况，分别采用QPCR和Western blotting检测Bcl-2、Bax、caspase-3及MAP3K9 mRNA和蛋白水平，同时采用双荧光素酶报告实验验证miR-148a-3p与MAP3K9的靶向作用关系。结果 QPCR结果显示，对照组、NC组和mimics组的miR-148a-3p水平分别为1.021±0.123、1.087±0.196和2.854±0.368，与对照组和NC组比较，mimics组的miR-148a-3p水平升高（P＜0.05）。mimics组MGC-803细胞的增殖活力较其余两组减弱（P＜0.05）。mimics组MGC-803细胞凋亡率为（15.2±1.6）％，高于对照组的（3.5±0.9％）％和NC组的（4.5±1.1）％，差异具有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。与对照组和NC组比较，mimics组的MAP3K9和Bcl-2的mRNA和蛋白水平均下调，而Bax和caspase-3的mRNA和蛋白水平均上调（P＜0.05）；双荧光素酶报告实验证实MAP3K9是miR-148a-3p的直接作用靶点。结论 MiR-148a-3p可抑制胃癌细胞MGC-803的增殖并诱导其凋亡，可能通过靶向MAP3K9来发挥抑癌作用，调控miR-148a-3p／MAP3K9轴在胃癌防治中有一定应用前景。     

Anti-inflammatory effects of benzenediamine derivate FC-98 on sepsis injury in mice via suppression of JNK,NF-κB and IRF3 signaling pathways

FC-98, a synthesized benzenediamine derivate, was reported to regulate Toll-like receptor 9-induced activation of dendritic cells in our previous study. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory properties of FC-98 both in macrophages and in septic mouse models. By using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and real-time quantitative PCR, we found that FC-98 (6.25, 25 and 100 μM) dose-dependently attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1) productions in RAW264.7 and primary mouse peritoneal macrophages. These inhibitory effects were not due to inducing cell cytotoxicity or altering LPS binding or TLR4 expression. Subsequently, western blot, immunofluorescence and luciferase reporter assays were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of its anti-inflammatory activities. Results showed that FC-98 blocked activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) signaling pathways. In vivo, FC-98 (30 or 100 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally administrated into LPS-induced or CLP-induced sepsis mice. It was observed to enhance the survival rate, inhibit pro-inflammatory mediator production, improve organ injuries and suppress bacterial propagation. In conclusion, FC-98 effectively inhibited macrophage inflammatory responses and ameliorated sepsis in mice through down-regulation of both MyD88 and TRIF-dependent pathways. These results suggest that FC-98 could be a promising therapeutic agent for inflammatory diseases.     

Investigation of the miRNA146a and miRNA155 gene expression levels in patients with multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease and the most common neurodegenerative status. MicroRNAs play an important role in macrophage response to inflammatory processes, and alterations in miRNA levels trigger the inactivation of specific T lymphocytes. As a result, these factors can lead to autoimmune diseases such as MS. Therefore, to determine the role of MicroRNA-146a and MicroRNA-155 in MS patients, their expression levels in serum of MS patients were compared with healthy controls.In this study, the expression levels of MicroRNA-146a and MicroRNA-155 in 30 serum samples of MS and healthy patients as a control group. MicroRNA extraction and cDNA synthesis was performed according manufacture protocols. The expression levels of MicroRNAs were evaluated by Real Time-PCR.MicroRNA-146a and MicroRNA-155 levels were increased in patients with MS compared to controls. The results demonstrated that EDSS score are increased with increasing level of MicroRNA-146a and MicroRNA-155. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) was significant for MicroRNA-146a and MicroRNA-155.Increased expression levels of MicroRNA-146a and MicroRNA-155 may be associated with the pathogenesis of MS disease. If this study is conducted in a larger sample population and the above results can be used to identify patients or control patients who are under medical care.     

Cavum velum interpositum cysts in normal and anomalous fetuses in second trimester of pregnancy: Comparison of its size and prevalence

ObjectiveCavum veli interpositi (CVI) is a potential space below the splenium of corpus callosum and sometimes presents as a cyst.Materials and methodsIn this prospective cross-sectional study, 360 fetuses with normal second trimester scan and 152 s trimester fetuses with structural abnormalities were included.ResultsThe CVI cysts were more common in fetuses with brain anomaly compared to normal fetuses and fetuses with extra-central nervous system (CNS) anomalies (23% vs 18.3% and 18% respectively; p value < 0.01). The mean size of cysts in normal fetuses, fetuses with extra-CNS anomalies and fetuses with brain abnormalities was 4.6 mm, 5.8 mm and 9.2 mm respectively. There was a significant difference between cysts size in normal fetuses and fetuses with brain anomalies (p value < 0.01) and the cut-point was 7.1 mm.ConclusionThe prevalence of CVI cysts is more in fetuses with brain anomaly. Fetuses with a cyst size >7.1 mm need a more detailed brain examination.

miR-429 expression in bladder cancer and its correlation with tumor behavior and clinical outcome

We previously showed that microRNA-429 (miR-429) played an important role in epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder. We herein evaluated the expression of miR-429 in bladder cancer and its potential relevance to clinicopathological characteristics and patient survival. Relative expression levels of miR-429 in surgical bladder cancer tissue specimens obtained from 76 patients with bladder cancer were measured by chromogenic in situ hybridization. miR-429 expression was significantly higher in specimens from alive patients than expired patients in both of 5-year overall survival (OS) (0.59 ± 0.09 vs. 0.27 ± 0.12; p < 0.05) and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) (0.63 ± 0.10 vs. 0.33 ± 0.10; p < 0.05). The univariate Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that tumor grade, stage, and miR-429 expression were significantly associated with patient survival. In multivariate analysis, tumor stage and miR-429 expression were significantly associated with 5-year OS (hazard ratio [HR] 4.70, p < 0.001) and 5-year-RFS (HR 2.20, p < 0.05). The Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that patients with miR-429 expression had significantly better 5-year OS and 5-year RFS rates than those without miR-429 expression (84.4% vs. 61.4%, p < 0.05 and 71.9% vs. 45.5%, p < 0.05, respectively). miR-429 may be considered as an adjunctive prognostic marker in addition to tumor grade and stage in bladder cancer.
