1.Progress in relationship between Stat3 and invasion and metastasis in cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2009;36(7):486-488
Signal transdcuers and activators of transcription3 (Stat3) is activated by a wide range of cytokines and growth factors following binding to special DNA domain and affects the expression of a variety of genes in modulating the process of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. As a point of convergence for many oncogenic tyrosine kinase signaling pathways,it can be activited by sevral accesses. Stat3 is not only in-volved in the function of both apoptosis suppression,proliferation promotion,but also participates the process of angiogenesis,invasion and immune evasion. For repression of this way maybe a new target for break of cancer in-vasion and metastasis,blockers of Stat3 has become the focus of many researches.

Objective To explore the relationship between excessive gestational weight gain and the risk of macrosomia. Methods Three databases were systematically reviewed and reference lists of relevant articles from January 2001 to December 2014 were checked. Meta-analysis of published epidemiological studies (cohort and case-control studies) was done. The odds ratio (OR) was used to evaluate the relationship of excessive gestational weight gain and macrosomia delivery. Results Twelve relevant articles were included to analyze, including 4 cohort studies and 8 case-control ones. The values of OR and 95%CI of macrosomia in pregnant women with excessive and non-excessiveweight gain were 1.66 (1.49, 1.83). Conclusion The risk of macrosomia in pregnant women with excessive gestational weight gain is much higher than those with normal gestational weight gain.

AIM To analyze the effects of glycyrrhetic acid (GA) on c-fos expression and cell proliferation in rat vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC), and to figure out the mechanisms of binding GA to angiotensin Ⅱ(AⅡ) receptor. METHODS Primary cell culture of rat VSMC, Northern blot, TdR incorporation DNA assay and MTT assay were used in this study. RESULTS ① GA at both low (1?10 -9 mol?L -1) and high concentration (1?10 -5 mol?L -1) quickly induced c-fos expression in VSMC. Sar-AⅡ(1?10 -5 mol?L -1)inhibited both GA induced and AⅡ (1?10 -5 mol?L -1) induced c-fos expression. GA enhanced AⅡ induced c-fos expression at both low and high concentration in VSMC. ② Low level of GA stimulated the proliferation of VSMC. This stimulatory effect decreased with increasing GA concentration, and changed to be inhibitory at high concentration of GA. Not only did Sar-AⅡ eliminate the stimulatory effect of low concentration of GA on cell proliferation, it also eliminated the inhibitory effect of high concentration of GA. Low concentration of GA enhanced the stimulation of AⅡon cell proliferation, while the inhibitory effect of high concentration of GA on cell proliferation was relieved by adding 1?10 -7 mol?L -1 AⅡ. CONCLUSION This study suggests that GA activates transcription factor c-fos and promotes the proliferation of VSMC. GA may exert its effects on cells through AT 1 receptor since it induces similar changes as AⅡ and its effects can be inhibited by AT 1 receptor antagonist.

Objective The paper focused on teaching status of evening college among different ma-jors, and tried to provide data support and suggestion for teaching reform of evening college in medical university. Method Using methods of questionnaires and interviews, the investigators analyzed five aspects of students in Peking University Health Science Center, which were the influences on study from family and work, and the evaluation on teaching, etc. The investigators entered data with Epidata 3.1 software and de-scribed it with SPSS 20.0 statistical software, with which they also did chi-square and nonparametric rank sum test. Results 38.2% (63/165) of clinical medicine students, 45.8% (27/59) of laboratory medical sci-ence students and 43.0%(71/165) of nursing students regarded hard work and limited energy as their major difficulty from jobs. Limited time for study was treated as the biggest problem for students of clinical medicine (58.2%, 96/165), laboratory medical science (46.5%, 27/58) and nursing (66.5%, 105/158). 41.9%(70/167) of clinical medicine students tended to receive traditional face-to-face teaching; 39.0%(23/59) of laboratory medical science students preferred partial face-to-face teaching with partial network teaching; while 37.2% (68/183) of nursing students tended to partial face-to-face teaching with partial self-study. 58.4%(97/166) of clinical medicine students, 55.9%(33/59) of laboratory medical science students and 64 . 8% ( 118/182 ) of nursing students preferred examination of both memorization and application . Conclusion Results showed that students in different majors presented similar opinions on teaching status, but also with a few dif-ferences. There were the same characteristics between students of clinical medicine and nursing, both with high satisfaction. While students in the laboratory medical science showed the special characteristics, with low satisfaction.
