2.Tumor multidrug resistance and apoptosis evasion
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(7):483-485
Most anticancer drugs inhibit tumor cell growth by inducing apoptosis.Apoptosis-evasion,also enhancement of anti-apoptosis ability(e.g.anti-apoptosis related genes over-expression or pro-apoptotic related genes loss,etc.)may lead to tumor cell multidrug resistance.Many researches show that apoptosis-evasion is one of the important factors resulting in tumor multidrug resistance.
3.Effects of early postnatal nutrition on adult-onset insulin resistance in Sprague-Dawley rats
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2016;19(5):355-363
Objective To explore the effects of early postnatal nutrition on adult-onset insulin resistance by an artificial nutrition intervention during the critical period. Methods On postnatal day 2, Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned randomly to overnutrition (SL), normonutrition (NL) and undernutrition (LL) via artificially adjusting the number of pups nursed per dam. Litter size was adjusted to 3 pups/dam, 10 pups/dam and 20 pups/dam for the SL, NL and LL groups, respectively. There were eight litters for each group. All the pups were nursed by their natural dams and fed with a standard rodent laboratory chow. The pups were weaned on postnatal day 21 and three male pups from each litter were separated. After that, all male rats were housed three per cage and fed standard chow until 16 weeks old. At 3 and 16 weeks, rats were killed after overnight fasting and blood was collected. Liver, gastrocnemius muscle and perirenal and epididymal fat pads were dissected and weighed to calculate relative mass after normalization for body weight. Physiological parameters, biochemical values and insulin resistance status, including serum insulin level, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index and intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT), were dynamically monitored. Analysis of variance was used for statistical analysis. Results (1) Before weaning, the body weights of SL rats were significantly heavier than NL rats after postnatal day 10, and weights of LL rats were significantly lower than NL rats after postnatal day 7. After weaning, body weights of SL rats still remained heavier and weights of LL rats continued to be lower than NL rats (P<0.05). (2) At 3 weeks, the weights of liver and perirenal and epididymal fat pads in SL rats were significantly heavier than NL rats, whereas LL rats were lower than NL rats (P<0.05). At 16 weeks, the weights of liver, epididymal fat pads and gastrocnemius muscle in SL rats were significantly heavier than NL rats. Meanwhile, the weights of all detected tissues in LL rats were lower than the NL group. The weights of epididymal fat pads after normalization for body weight in the SL group were heavier than the NL group (P<0.05). (3) At 3 weeks, the fasting serum glucose level of the SL group was significantly higher than the NL and LL groups [(7.77±1.10) vs (6.33±1.20) and (5.80±1.51) mmol/L, respectively, F=13.217, P<0.01]. At 16 weeks of age, the serum insulin level in SL rats significantly increased compared to NL and LL rats [(0.31±0.11) vs (0.16±0.08) and (0.14±0.11) ng/ml, respectively, F=5.369, P=0.017]. For HOMA-IR evaluation, the index was significantly lower in LL rats compared to NL and LL rats at 3 weeks of age [(0.09±0.01) vs (0.25±0.01) and (0.31±0.05), respectively, F=25.923, P=0.005]. At 16 weeks, the index was significantly elevated in SL rats compared to NL and LL rats [(1.77±0.53) vs (0.84±0.44) and (0.83±0.67), respectively, F=5.765, P=0.015]. Furthermore, IPGTT was performed in all groups at 14 weeks of age. SL rats had significantly higher serum glucose levels at 60 min and a significantly increased area under the curve when compared to NL and LL rats (all P<0.05). (4) Serum from 16 week old SL rats was found to contain significantly higher levels of albumin, triglycerides and free fatty acids compared to NL rats (all P<0.05). Conclusions Early postnatal overnutrition induces persistent overweight and visceral white adipose accumulation in rats, while early postnatal undernutrition show the opposite effects. Early postnatal overnutrition may lead to adult-onset insulin resistance in rats. Avoiding overnutrition during the early postnatal period, a critical window for growth and development, may prevent or decrease later metabolic risks.

Objective To investigate couple's personality similarity effect on the marital quality,and to explore the vairance of such effect under different levels of spouse's depression. Methods The cross?sectional da?ta of 4644 couple from the national survey of mental health database in china( 2009) was used. Couples completed Locke ?Wallance marital adjustment test,The CES?D scale a self?report depression scale and Eysenck personality questionnaire short scale for Chinese version (EPQ?RSC). Results The personality similarities of couples(0.44 ±0.27) and their marital quality (wife (103.71±27.54),husband (106.15±26.94))had significant positive corre?lation ( r=0.25~0.27, P<0.01). Regression analysis showed the effect of personality similarity on the marital quality were varied according to the level of spouse depression( β=0.09?0.22, P<0.05) . Among participants whose husband or wife had higher level of depression,couple's personality similarity had stronger effect on his/her per?ceived marital quality. Conclusion Husband and wife personality similarity is related to marital quality signifi?cantly,and the spouse depression plays a significant moderating role in this relationship.

Objective To study the effect of Guipi Decoction on serum IL-1? and hippocampus IL-1RⅠ expression of depression model rats, and approach its mechanism of treating depression. Methods The depression model was established by received chronic unpredictable stress stimulus. Forty female Wistar rats were divided into four groups:control group, model group, saline group and Chinese medicine group. All rats were weighed and taken Open-field test on 0 and 22nd day, the serum IL-1? was detected with radio-immunity, and the expression of IL-1RⅠ was detected with immunohistochemical method. Result Compared with the control group, the weight, behavior points, serum IL-1?, expression of IL-1RⅠ of the model group and the saline group changed obviously while that in Chinese medicine group did not. Conclusion The anti-depressive mechanism of Guipi Decoction is related to maintaining the normal excretion of IL-1? and IL-1RⅠ expression from the chronic stress.
