To investigate the effect and possible mechanism of curcumin to induce apoptosis in ovarian cancer resistant cell lines COC1/DDP.COC1/DDP cells were treated with different concentration of curcumin, with or without the combination of chemotherapy drugs cisplatin (DDP) and paclitaxel (PIX) for 48 hours. The growth inhibition rates of COC1/DDP cells were studied by MTT method, and the apoptotic ratios were measured with flow cytometry. The expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase catalytic subunit (PI3KCA) mRNA was studied by RT-PCR in curcumin treated cells, DDP treated cells and their combination treated cells.After the treatment of different concentration of curcumin for 48 hours, the growth inhibition rates and the apoptotic rate of COC1/DDP cells were gradually increased accordingly with increasing curcumin concentration. Furthurmore, curcumin in combination with chemotherapy drug obtained higher inhibition rate and apoptosis rate than single chemotherapy drug did (P < 0.05). The expression of PI3KCA mRNA of COC1/DDP cells treated with curcumin combined DDP was much lower than that treated only with DDP (P < 0.05).Curcumin can increase the apoptotic rate of COC1/DDP cells, so has synergistic effect on with chemotherapy drugs on the induction of cell apoptosis. Its possible mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of PI3KCA.

The prevalence of pulmonary hypertension is unusually high in Taiwanese patients with end-stage renal disease. Thrombosis of hemodialysis grafts is common and pulmonary embolism has been reported after endovascular thrombectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between pulmonary hypertension and endovascular thrombectomy of hemodialysis grafts.One hundred and ten patients on hemodialysis via arteriovenous grafts were enrolled in our study. The mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) was measured by right heart catheterization. Clinical information was collected by review of medical records. Comorbid cardiopulmonary disease was evaluated by echocardiography and chest X-ray. The history of patient vascular access thrombosis was reviewed from database, hemodialysis records, and interviews with staff at hemodialysis centers.Fifty-two participants (47%) had pulmonary hypertension diagnosed by right heart catheterization. There was no difference in the number of thrombectomy procedures between patients with and without pulmonary hypertension. Based on multivariate analysis, the number of prior endovascular thrombectomy procedures did not correlate with mean PAP (F-value = 1.10, p = 0.30) nor was it associated with pulmonary hypertension (odds ratio = 0.92, p = 0.17).Prior endovascular arteriovenous graft thrombectomies were not associated with pulmonary hypertension or increased mean PAP in end-stage renal disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
Objective To investigate the expression of CXCR6 in allograft rejection and effect of CXCL16/CXCR6 interaction on allograft survival Methods Intra-abdominal heterotopic heart transplantation was performed using wild type (WT) Balb/c mice (H-2d) (allogeneic) as donors or WT C57BL/6 mice (B6, H-2b) (syngeneic) as donors, and using WT B6 mice as recipients. The intragraft expression of CXCR6 and expression of CXCR6 in CD8+ T cells of the spleens from syngeneic and allogeneic recipients were examined. The allogeneic recipients were further divided into the experimental group (n = 5) and control group (n = 6) randomly. The experiment group and control group were injected with anti-CXCL16 mAb or control mAb respectively until rejection occurred. The cardiac allograft survival in experimental group and control group was evaluated. Results Rejected allografts showed higher expression of CXCR6 than syngeneic cardiac grafts. More importantly,expression of CXCR6 in CD8+ T cells was also up-regulated by allograft rejection. However, injection of anti-CXCL16 mAb could not inhibit cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T cells. Moreover, experimental group could not prolong the cardiac graft survival time as compared with control group. Conclusion Expression of CXCR6 in CD8+ T cells is up-regulated in allograft rejection.

To study the role of bronchoscopy in slide tracheoplasty.A retrospective analysis was conducted on the diagnosis and treatment of four children with tracheal stenosis admitted to Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from 2017 to 2020. The role of bronchoscopy was summarized in the preoperative evaluation, intraoperative positioning and measurement, and postoperative wound evaluation and treatment during slide tracheoplasty.Bronchoscopy evaluation before slide tracheoplasty showed that 3 of the 4 children had complete trachea rings, 2 had pulmonary artery sling, and 2 had multiple stenosis. Slide tracheoplasty was performed in the hospital on 3 children, and the midpoint of the stenosis segment was judged under bronchoscopy, and the length of the stenosis segment was measured, which assisted in the resection of the stenosis segment of the trachea. The pathogens were identified by lavage after the surgery. One child who developed scar traction 9 months after slide tracheoplasty in another hospital was improved by interventional treatment under bronchoscopy. Mucosal changes were found under bronchoscopy in 2 children 4 days after surgery, and the treatment plan was adjusted. One month after surgery, 2 children had granulation hyperplasia, which was improved by cryotherapy under bronchoscopy. One child abandoned treatment due to anastomotic necrosis and died. Three survivors were followed up for over 6 months with good prognosis, but all had tracheobronchial malacia.Bronchoscopy can be used for the management of slide tracheoplasty in children with tracheal stenosis, which is helpful to postoperative rehabilitation and follow-up.目的: 总结支气管镜在儿童Slide气管成形术中的作用。方法: 回顾性分析2017—2020年湖南省人民医院收治的4例气管狭窄患儿的诊疗经过,总结支气管镜在Slide气管成形术术前评估、术中定位与测量及术后创面评估和治疗中的作用。结果: Slide气管成形术术前支气管镜评估显示,4例患儿中3例存在完全气管环,2例合并肺动脉吊带,2例存在多处狭窄。3例在该院完成Slide气管成形术,术中支气管镜下判断狭窄段中点及测量狭窄段长度,协助离断气管狭窄段,术后灌洗明确病原;1例外院Slide气管成形术术后9个月出现瘢痕牵拉,经支气管镜下介入治疗好转。2例术后第4天支气管镜下发现气管黏膜改变,调整治疗方案;2例术后1个月出现肉芽增生,经支气管镜下冷冻治疗好转。1例因吻合口坏死放弃治疗死亡,存活的3例随访6个月以上,预后可,但均存在气管支气管软化。结论: 支气管镜可用于气管狭窄患儿Slide气管成形术的管理,有助于术后康复及随访。.

Cancer can be easily treated when found early. A probe capable of detecting cell transformation may increase the success rate of early diagnosis of cancer. In this report we have tested the ability of a fluorescent, quadruplex DNA binding probe, 3,6-bis(1-methyl-4- vinylpyridinium) carbazole diiodide (BMVC), to detect cell transformation in vitro. BMVC was applied to living cells in several different models of cell transformation, and the fluorescence signals of BMVC were measured. The degrees of cell transformation in these models were characterized by alterations in cellular morphological phenotype and subcellular organization. When BMVC probes were applied, the number of BMVC-positive cells increased in accordance with the degree of transformation. BMVC was capable of significantly detecting formation of foci, increased cellular motility, cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, anchorage-independent growth, and increased invasiveness of transformed cells. These results demonstrate the ability of BMVC probes to detect cell transformation and indicate that BMVC is of promise for use as a probe in early cancer detection.
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is an uncommon cardiac defect accounting for only 1% of congenital cardiac anomalies and the most common complication is ruptured into the atrium or ventricle. Very late recurrence of ruptured SVA after patch repair is extremely rare. We present a case of 57-year-old man had received repair for ruptured Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm at 19 ages. In the clinics, he presented with exertional dyspnea and leg swelling. The serial examination disclosed he had bicuspid aortic valve and very late rupture of SVA connecting to right atrium. After surgical repair again, he was discharged smoothly. A very late recurrence of ruptured SVA after surgical repair was rare. We reported a case with unique echocardiographic presentation and a successful repair.
