Background and purpose:Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a peptide that participates in many biological processes by stimulating the downstream signaling pathways through their interaction with IGF-1 re-ceptor (IGF-1R) and insulin receptor (IR). Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of functional proteins which participate in the biological processes of proliferation and migration in many kinds of cancers and have become a hot area of cancer research. The study aimed to investigate the effects of silencingIGF-1R gene on the expression level ofBMP2 gene, and the cell proliferation and apoptosis of SMMC7721 cells.Methods:The RNAi plasmid targetingIGF-1R gene was constructed and transfected into SMMC7721 cells. Then the inhibition effect on the expression level of IGF-1R and BMP2 gene was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. The SMMC7721 growth curve and cell apoptosis were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry after they were transfected with RNAi plasmid.Results:The RNAi plasmid targetingIGF-1R gene was constructed successfully. The inhibition efficiencies at mRNA expression levels were 68.9% and 80.7% (IGF-1R gene), 79.5% and 83.3% (BMP2 gene), respectively, after transfection with IGF-1R-siRNA-1 and IGF-1R-siRNA-2 plasmid (P<0.05). The inhibition efficiencies at protein levels were 46.1% and 62.1% (IGF-1R gene,P<0.05), 42.5% and 60.9% (BMP2 gene,P<0.05), respectively. The results of MTT growth curve showed that the proliferation rate in the transfected SMMC7721 cells was significantly slower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of apoptotic cells in transfected groups was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:SilencingIGF-1R gene can downregulate the expression ofBMP2 gene at different levels that results in inhibition of cell proliferation and promotion of apoptosis in SMMC7721 cells.

Objective To compare the different doses of low-temperature plasma (LTP) on wound healing in BALB/c mice so as to discuss the effects of the optimal dose of low-temperature plasma dealing with wound in mice and the acting mechanism of wound healing.Methods Adoptatmospheric pressure plasma jet discharged by the dielectric barrier was used to treat mouse skin wound.According to the processing time, the wounds were divided into 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s experimental groups, while naturally healing wounds served as negative controls and the wounds dealt with recombinant human epidermal growth factor served as positive controls.We recorded the wound size every day, observed the histopathological changes, the expression level of type Ⅰ collagen by immunofluorescence, and analyzed the composition of low-temperature plasma jet.Results The wounds with plasma treatment time of 10s, 20s, 30s, and 40s showed significant daily improvement and almost complete closure at days 12, 10, 7, 13, respectively.However, the wounds with plasma treatment time of 50s remained unhealed atday 14.The wounds in positive control group all healed, and the wound healing effect in positive control group could be achieved in 30s group.HE staining and immunofluorescence staining assays showed the optimal result of epidermal cell regeneration, granulation tissue hyperplasia, and collagen deposition in histological aspect at day 7 in 30 s group.The low-temperature plasma jet contained highly reactive free radicals of nitrogen and oxygen, which play an important role in wound healing process.Conclusion Appropriate doses of cold plasma can accelerate wound healing whereas over-doses of plasma can suppress wound healing.The process of wound healing may be related to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in LTP.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy and safety of recombinant human interferon α-2b (INFα-2b) monotherapy and combined therapy with entecavir (ETV) plus adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) in chronic hepatitis B patients with poor response to combined therapy with lamivudine and ADV.
METHODSA total of 161 patients with chronic hepatitis B refractory to to combined therapy with lamivudine (LAM) and ADV were randomized to receive INFα-2b monotherapy (5×10(6), three times a week) (group A) or combined therapy with entecavir (0.5 mg/day) plus adefovir (10 mg/day) (group B). Serum levels of HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV viral load were analyzed at 48 weeks using chemiluminescence assay and by real-time PCR as appropriate. The drug resistance genes in HBV was tested by direct DNA sequencing.
RESULTSAt 48 weeks of treatment, HBV DNA decreased significantly in groups A and B to 2.06∓1.15log10 copies/ml and 1.77∓1.28log10 copies/ml, respectively. The rates of viral response, serological response, and biochemical response in groups A and B were 48.15% (39/81) vs 53.75% (43/80), 61.70% (50/81) vs 53.75% (43/80), and 49.38% (40/81) vs 60.00% (48/80), showing no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). The drug resistance gene mutation rate was significanty higher in group B (64.86%, 24/37) than in group A (30.95%, 13/42, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONChronic hepatitis B patients refractory to lamivudine combined with ADV have a good response to INFα-2b monotherapy and combined therapy with entecavir and ADV , and interferon treatment is preferred to reduce potential drug resistance gene mutations.
