Objective To investigate the anti-apoptosis effects of EG-VEGF on pancreatic cancer cell MiaPaCa and its molecular mechanism. Methods The cells were treated with 50, 100, 200 ng/ml EG-VEGF. Flow cytometry was used to determine the apoptosis. The expression of p42/44MAPK, STAT3 protein and the phosphorylation, and anti-apoptosis protein Mcl-1 was evaluated by Western blot. Non-specific G protein-coupled receptor antagonist PTX, Rsa/ERK signal transduction blockade PD98059, JAK/STAT3 signal transduction blockade AG490 were used to treat the cells for 1 h, and the change of Mcl-1 protein was observed. Results After treated with 50 ng/ml EG-VEGF, the apoptosis rate of MiaPaCa was decreased from (28.4 ±4.6)% to (13.21 ±4.65)% (P<0.05) ; the phosphorylation of p42/44MAPK increased by 1.735 ± 0.019 folds; the phosphorylation of STAT3 increased by 21.810 ± 0.052 folds; the expression of Mcl-1 protein increased by 3.460 ±0.002 folds when compared with that of control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05 ). But the degree of phosphorylation and the expression of Mcl-1 were not further increased with 100, 200 ng/ml EG VEGF treatment. After PTX pre-treatment, the increase of Mcl-1 protein expression was completely inhibited, and after PD98059, AG490 pre-treatment, the increase of Mcl-1 expression was inhibited to 52% and 68%. Conclusions EG-VEGF can inhibit MiaPaCa cell from apoptosis,and the mechanism may be related with activation of Ras MAPK and JAK STAT3 signal transduction pathway and up-regulation of Mcl-1.

Objective:To investigate the common bacteria in the oropharynx of children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 134 children with MPP who were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatric Respiratory, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from December 2016 to June 2017 were selected as the research subjects, and 42 healthy children in the same hospital were selected retrospectively as the healthy control group during the same period.Fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction Taqman probe was used to detect common oropharyngeal bacteria[ Streptococcus pneumoniae(SP), Moraxella catarrhalis(CTA), Haemophilus influenza(HI)] for the enrolled children.Firstly, the bacterial detection rate of MPP children and healthy children was compared.Then, according to age(<1 years old, 1-<3 years old, 3-<6 years old and 6-14 years old), bacterial detection[Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP), MP+ bacteria]and bacterial species(MP+ SP, MP+ CTA, MP+ HI), 134 children with MPP were divided into groups to compare.Moreover, the relevant clinical datas were retrospectively analyzed by rank sum test and chi- square test. Results:Among 134 children with MPP, 79 (58.96%) children were detected bacteria, and 17 (40.48%) children were detected bacteria among 42 healthy children, with statistically significant differences( χ2=4.404, P<0.05). Compared with the MP group, the level of white blood cell (WBC)[8.5(6.7, 12.0)×10 9/L vs.7.8(5.8, 9.3)×10 9/L, Z=-2.232], C reactive protein(CRP)[19.2(7.2, 35.0) mg/L vs.8.4(3.4, 24.6) mg/L, Z=-2.810], lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)[286(244, 365) U/L vs.250(210, 302) U/L, Z=-2.474] and the incidence of lobar pneumonia[40.51%(32/79 cases) vs.18.18%(10/55 cases), χ2=7.510], pleural effusion[13.92%(11/79 cases) vs.3.64%(2/55 cases), χ2=3.917], refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP)[34.18%(27/79 cases) vs.18.18%(10/55 cases), χ2=4.151] in MP+ bacteria group were higher; the course of fever[10(7, 12) d vs.8(6, 10) d, Z=-2.706] and duration of antibiotic use[16(13, 19) d vs.12(9, 16) d, Z=-3.747] in MP+ bacteria group were longer (all P<0.05). The level of WBC in MP+ SP group[12.20(7.80, 17.30)×10 9/L] was higher than that in MP+ HI group [6.75(5.37, 9.44)×10 9/L], and the differences were statistically significant( Z=11.574, P<0.05), and the incidence of lobar pneumonia in MP+ SP group [56.67%(17/30 cases)]was higher than that in MP+ CTA group [0(0/3 cases)]and MP+ HI group[18.75%(3/16 cases)], and the differences were statistically significant( χ2=9.770, P<0.05). Conclusions:Bacterial colonization or infection is more likely to occur in the oropharynx of children with MPP.When WBC, CRP, and LDH are significantly increased and the image shows a large consolidation or pleural effusion, it may indicate mixed bacterial infection, longer course of fever and higher incidence of RMPP, and the common mixed bacteria is SP.
