Objective To screen a key molecule, leucine-rich glioma inactivated protein 4 (LGI4), which participates in endothelial cell-mediated osteosarcoma metastasis, and to further analyze its function and molecular mechanism in osteosarcoma metastasis. Methods A co-culture model of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)-osteosarcoma cells was established, and the genes with significant fold change were screened by whole transcriptome sequencing in combination with relevant literature. After, the candidate target gene, LGI4 was verified with real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting, the expression of LGI4 at mRNA and protein levels was also determined. Osteosarcoma cell line 143B and MTF LGI4 were transfected with the overexpression plasmid of LGI4 to construct the cells with stable overexpression of LGI4. Then the experiments included 5 groups of osteosarcoma cells, including negative control group (normally cultured), co-culture group (co-cultured with HUVECs), co-culture medium group (treated with the HUVECs medium), vector control group (transfected with control plasmid) and LGI4 group (overexpression of LGI4). Transwell assay and wound healing test were used to detect the migration and invasion abilities of osteosarcoma cells. A tumor metastasis model in nude mice was used to verify the effect of LGI4 overexpressed osteosarcoma cells on distant metastasis in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis was applied to analyze the potential downstream target signaling pathways of LGI4, and recovery experiments were performed with related inhibitors to clarify the role of target signaling pathways in the regulation of osteosarcoma metastasis by LGI4. Results The expression levels of LGI4 were markedly decreased in 143B and MTF cells after co-culture with HUVECs (P < 0.05). Compared with the negative control group, the cell migration and invasion abilities of the co-culture group and co-medium group were significantly enhanced, whereas the cell migration and invasion rates of the LGI4 overexpression group were significantly lower than that of the vector control group (P < 0.05). The nude mice metastasis model revealed that the metastasis ability of osteosarcoma cells was suppressed with LGI4 overexpression. Further analysis revealed that NOTCH4 signaling pathway was the downstream target signaling pathway of LGI4, and functional recovery experiments confirmed that LGI4 resulted in osteosarcoma metastasis by inhibiting NOTCH4 signaling pathway (P < 0.05). Conclusion Endothelial cells activate NOTCH4 signaling pathway and thus promote tumor metastasis by inhibiting the expression of LGI4 in osteosarcoma cells.
Objective To investigate the difference of inner ear ultrastructure in acute otitis media induced by different virulent bacteria. Methods Sixteen guinea pigs were randomly divided into two groups. The right middle ears were inoculated with 0.1ml 1×108/ml staphyloccoccus aureus or pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively. The left ear serves as control. On the 3rd day after infection, alteration of the cochlea was observed by scaning and transmisson electron microscopy. Results On the 3rd day after infection, the damage of cells and degeneration of organelles could be observed in both groups of staphyloccoccus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa. The alterations of ultrastructure in the pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected group are more apparent than those in the staphyloccoccus aureus-infected group. Conclusion There are morphological changes of the inner ear in early acute otitis media. The acute otitis media infected by pseudomonas aeruginosa may induce serious sensorineural hearing loss.

Objective To explore the expressions of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in the spleen of cirrhotic rats with splenomegaly and hypersplenism before and after subtotal splenectomy. Methods Cirrhosis of liver was induced with 60% carbon tetrachloride and 5% alcohol in rats, then subtotal splenectomy was performed. The levels and cellular locations of TIMP1, MT1 MMP, MMP9, and MMP2 in the spleen of splenomegaly and hypersplenism before and after subtotal splenectomy were determind with immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Results The amounts of TIMP1, MT1 MMP, MMP9, and MMP2 expressions had no significant differences in the spleen of cirrhotic rats with splenomegaly and hypersplenism before and after subtotal splenectomy ( P 0.05). Conclusion Subtotal splenectomy did not enhance the fibrosis of the residual splenic tissue.

Objective To investigate the effects of subtotal splenectomy on liver fibrosis. Methods After liver fibrosis was induced with 60% carbon tetrachloride and 5% alcohol in rats, the rats were randomized into 4 groups of operative liver fibrosis (OLF), total splenectomy (TS), subtotal splenectomy (SS) and sham operation (SO). The values of serum PCIII, HA, LN and PLD were determined. Meanwhile, the level and cellular sites of gene expression of TGF-β1, MT1-MMP, MMP2 and TIMP1 were detected with immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Results No significant differences in levels of PCIII, HA, LN and PLD were found between the TS group and SS group (P0.05). However, the levels were markedly higher in rats with liver fibrosis than in the controls (P0.0001). The expression of TGF-β1, MT1-MMP, MMP2 and TIMP2 occurred predominantly in activated myofibroblasts, fat-storing cells. Image analysis showed that the level of TGF-β1 in fibrotic cells was lower after than before the operation (P0.0001). However, it was still significantly higher than that in the controls (P0.0001). After operation, the level was not remarkably different among the 4 experimental groups (P0.05). The level of expression of MT1-MMP, MMP2 and TIMP1 was significantly higher in the experimental groups than in the control (P0.0001). But there were no marked differences in their expression in 1 group before and after the operation and among the 4 groups after the operation (P0.05). Conclusion The residual splenic tissue after subtotal splenectomy does not aggravate the liver fibrosis.
Objective To investigate the role of platelet activating-factor (PAF) and its antagonist in serious intra-abdominal infection (SIAI) of rats, and the relationship between PAF and TNF or IL-8. Methods In a ligated and perforated cecum model of septic rat. The mortality and the level of blood PAF, serum TNF, IL-8 at different time points were observed. Results ①The level of blood PAF, serum TNF and IL-8 increased with a sig- nificant correlation between PAF and TNF/IL-8. ②After treated with PAF antagonist WEB2170, the level of blood PAF, serum TNF and IL-8 decreased with a reduced mortality rate. Conclusion The PAF antagonist WEB2170 can block the communication network of PAF with TNF or IL-8 and plays an important role in preventing MOF.
目的了解充血性脾肿大伴脾功能亢进(脾亢)患者血小板相关抗体(PA-IgG)水平及不同脾切除术后的改变,探索脾肿大、血小板、PA-IgG之间的关系.方法采用竞争性酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测了24例脾肿大伴脾亢患者血清PA-IgG水平.结果脾肿大伴脾亢患者的PA-IgG水平明显高于正常者(P<0.01),而血小板值低,PA-IgG与血小板之间存在显著负相关(r=-0.4747,P<0.05).脾次全切除和脾切除术后,PA-IgG水平下降,血小板上升,两者之间的负相关关系消失.结论机体内可能存在PA-IgG与血小板的免疫调节机理,而脾脏可能与此有关.
