Objective To study the effects of miR-200b on proliferation and migration of sw620 colon cancer cells,and its regulation effect on E-cadherin expression.Methods The expressions of miR-200b in sw620 cells at 24 h and 72 h after pEGP-miR-200b transfection were detected by real-time PCR (RT-PCR).The change of the expression level of E-cadherin after miR-200b transfection was detected using the methods of RT-PCR and Western blot.The proliferation and migration abilities were measured by MTT and scratch test after miR-200b transfection.Results The expressions of miR-200b in sw620 cells at 24 h and 72 h after pEGP-miR-200b transfection raised significantly compared to the control group (t =11.579,P < 0.01 ; t =11.579,P <0.01).MiR-200b transfection inhibited the proliferation abilities of sw620 cells.It is the most significant of the inhibitory effect on the third day and the inhibition rate was 55.34%.MiR-200b transfection markedly inhibited the migration abilities of sw620 cells.The two groups had significant difference in the migration distance of 24,48,72 h (t =11.579,P <0.01 ; t =10.419,P <0.01 ; t =6.955,P <0.01).The mRNA and protein expressions of E-cadherin gene increased significantly by transfecting miR-200b gene in sw620 cells (t =10.432,P < 0.01 ; t =8.325,P < 0.O1).Conclusion Up-regulated expression of miR-200b could inhibite the proliferation and migration abilities of sw620 colon cancer cells.The involved molecular mechanism is probably related to the change of E-cadherin expression.

Objective To study the accuracy of an ultrasonographic characteristic diagnostic score system(UCDSS) which was used to classify the breast solid nodular lesions. Methods UCDSS were established by analyzing the ultrasonographic sign of the 205 breast solid nodular lesions. These lesions were classified according to the total scores of each ultrasonographie sign. ROC curve was used to evaluate the value of UCDSS. Results The area under ROC curve of UCDSS was 0. 977, the sensitivity and specificity was 92.0%, 92.3% respectively. Conclusions The classification based on the UCDSS may increase the diagnostic accuracy of the differentiation between benign and malignant breast solid nodular lesions.
