The association of XRCC1 haplotypes and chromosomal damage levels in peripheral blood lymphocyte among coke-oven workers.

Theoretically, a haplotype has a higher level of heterozygosity than individual single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and the association study based on the haplotype may have an increased power for detecting disease associations compared with SNP-based analysis. In this study, we investigated the effects of four haplotype-tagging SNPs (htSNP) and the inferred haplotype pairs of the X-ray cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) gene on chromosome damage detected by the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay. The study included 141 coke-oven workers with exposure to a high level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and 66 nonexposed controls. The frequencies of total MN and MNed cells were borderline associated with the Arg(194)Trp polymorphism (P = 0.053 and P = 0.050, respectively) but not associated with the Arg(280)His, Arg(399)Gln and Gln(632)Gln polymorphisms among coke-oven workers. Five haplotypes, including CGGG, TGGG, CAGG, CGAG, and CGGA, were inferred based on the four htSNPs of XRCC1 gene. The haplotype CGGG was associated with the decreased frequencies of total MN and MNed cells, and the haplotypes TGGG and CGAG were associated with the increased frequencies of total MN and MNed cells with adjustment for covariates among coke-oven workers. This study showed that the haplotypes derived from htSNPs in the XRCC1 gene were more likely than single SNPs to correlate with the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-induced chromosome damage among coke-oven workers.

目的：探讨闭角型青光眼患者红细胞免疫功能与血清促红细胞生成素(EPO)和血浆内皮素-1(ET-1)的相关性。

方法：选取2017-06/10期间我院收治的闭角型青光眼患者30例(病例组)与眼部正常者30例(对照组)为研究对象。测定并比较两组受试者红细胞免疫功能、血清EPO和血浆ET-1浓度,分析之间的相关性。

结论：闭角型青光眼患者红细胞免疫功能与血清EPO浓度呈正相关。     

O-GlcNAc修饰在糖尿病心肌病中的作用及机制研究进展

<正>糖尿病是一种慢性代谢性紊乱疾病。据统计,我国2021年糖尿病患者数量已高达1.41亿[1]。糖尿病引发的心血管意外已成为患者死亡的主要原因,且死亡率明显高于非糖尿病患者[2]。糖尿病心肌病(diabetic cardiomyopathy, DCM)是一种因长期高血糖引起的心脏结构和功能异常的疾病,与多种信号通路有关。     

一种小鼠肠道纤维化模型建造的方法及评价

目的 探究一种使用酒精建造C57BL/6小鼠肠道纤维化模型的方法。方法 将6周龄C57BL/6小鼠根据不同酒精浓度分为正常对照组、50%乙醇组、三硝基苯磺酸(TNBS)/30%乙醇组、TNBS/50%乙醇组,采用灌肠液灌肠方式造模,每周灌肠1次,持续5周,第6周处死后取结直肠。整个实验期间观察小鼠生存状态、体重变化及生存率,每天进行小鼠疾病活跃指数(DAI)评价。固定包埋后,采用苏木精-伊红染色检测肠道黏膜以及腺体结构完整性;马森三色染色法检测小鼠肠道胶原沉积情况;免疫组织化学染色检测纤维化蛋白α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)的表达量。结果 与正常对照组比较,50%乙醇组、TNBS/30%乙醇组、TNBS/50%乙醇组的黏膜破损、腺体丢失比例、纤维化蛋白α-SMA表达明显高于正常对照组,并且50%乙醇组、TNBS/30%乙醇组、TNBS/50%乙醇组的DAI评分更高、胶原沉积更多,且TNBS/50%乙醇组高于TNBS/30%乙醇组,50%乙醇组与TNBS/30%乙醇组相近。结论 与正常组比较,50%乙醇组小鼠各时间点DAI评分均明显增高,整体纤维化程度与TNBS/30%乙醇组类似,单纯使用乙醇可以建造小鼠肠道的纤维化模型。     

Role of phloretin as a sensitizer to TRAIL-induced apoptosis in colon cancer

Phloretin is one of the apple polyphenols with anticancer activities. Since tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) serves important roles in inducing apoptosis, the present study examined the effect of phloretin on TRAIL-induced apoptosis in colon cancer cells. Treatment with both phloretin and TRAIL markedly suppressed the survival of cancer cells from several colon cancer cell lines compared with that of cells treated with either TRAIL or phloretin. Additionally, decreased numbers of colonies were observed following addition of phloretin and TRAIL. Furthermore, TRAIL- and phloretin-treated HT-29-Luc cells exhibited decreased luciferase activity. Increased apoptosis was observed in phloretin- and TRAIL-treated HT-29-Luc colon cancer cells, accompanying elevated levels of cleaved poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, and caspase-3, −8 and −9. The expression levels of MCL1 apoptosis regulator BCL2 family member (Mcl-1) were decreased following addition of phloretin in colon cancer cells. In addition, overexpression of Mcl-1 in phloretin- and TRAIL-treated HT-29-Luc cells resulted in increased cell survival. Treatment of HT-29-Luc cells with a combination of cycloheximide (CHX) and phloretin led to a more prominent decrease in Mcl-1 expression compared with that in cells treated with CHX alone, while Mcl-1 expression was recovered by treatment with MG132. Binding of ubiquitin with Mcl-1 was verified using immunoprecipitation. Intraperitoneal injection of both TRAIL and phloretin into tumor xenografts was associated with a decreased tumor volume compared with that following injection with either TRAIL or phloretin. Overall, the present results suggest a synergistic effect of phloretin on TRAIL-induced apoptosis in colon cancer cells.

结论：随着手术矫正的屈光度数增加,术后有效光学区减少越多,角膜高阶像差增加越明显; SMILE术后1 mo角膜高阶像差较术前增加。     

三种螺距对种植体初期稳定性影响的有限元研究

目的：利用即刻负载有限元模型,研究种植体不同螺纹螺距因素对初期稳定性的影响。方法：利用Pro／E软件、Hypermesh软件及ABAQUS有限元软件,建立四类种植体即刻负载的三维有限元模型,比较3种螺纹螺距（0．8mm、1．6mm、2．4mm）在分别垂直和水平加载时,对种植体初期稳定性的影响。结果：对不同螺纹螺距种植体来说,垂直加载和水平加载时0．8mm螺距螺纹种植体微动最小,2．4mm螺距螺纹种植体微动最大。结论：螺纹的螺距对垂直相对位移有影响,对水平相对位移影响不大。随着螺距的增加,种植体对抗垂直向载荷的抵抗力减弱。水平加载时,螺纹的螺距对颈部微动影响不明显。
