Objective To study the effect of IL-8 on cell proliferation and invasion,and to analyze the correlations between chemokine and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)signaling pathways in breast carcinoma cells.Methods IL-8 secretion responded to treatment with rhEGF and anti-EGFR and expression of its receptors CXCR1,CXCR2 in MDA-231 cells were measured by ELISA and immunocytochemistry,respectively.Effect of rhIL-8 and neutralizing antibody on cell proliferation and invasion were analyzed by using MTT and matrigel invasion assay.EGFR transactivation stimulated with rhIL-8 and neutralizing an tibody was assessed by Western blot using anti-phosphotyrosine antibody.Results MDA-231 cells released hish level of IL-8 and two receptom of IL-8(CXCR1 and CXCR2)both expressed on cell membrane.Exogenous IL-8 and its neutralizing antibody did not significantly influence the proliferation of breast carcinoma cells,but rhIL-8 stimulated invasive activity in MDA-231 cells and its neutralizing antibody inhibited the in vasive activity(P＜0.05).EGF and anti-EGFR both inhibited the secretion of IL-8 in breast carcinoma cells,and IL-8 had no effect on EGFR phosphorylation,but anti-IL-8 induced transactivation of EGFR after 24h.Conclusion IL-8 contributes to tumor progression in breast carcinoma through its enhancement of in vasive activitv but not act as an autocrine growth factor.The correlation of competitive inhibition rather than cross-talk is found between G protein coupled receptor(GPCR)-mediated IL-8 signaling pathway and EGFR pathway in breast carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effects of gastrodin on neural function and the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) and neurofilament high molecular weight (NFH) in the striatum during cerebral ischemiareperfusion in mice.Methods 36 Kunming mice were randomly divided into sham group,MCAO group and gastrodin (GAS) group.The middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) was established by artery embolization.The mice in sham group were received fake surgery and saline,and the mice in MCAO and GAS group were exposed to MCAO,and received saline and GAS (100 mg/(kg · d)) injection,respectively,immediately after the operation for 7 days.On the 8th day of operation,the neurological severity scores of the mice were observed and the volume ratio of the cerebral infarction was estimated by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the MBP and NF-H in the striatum.Results (1) The mice in MCAO group showed significant neurologic deficient in comparison with sham group,and the neurological severity scores of gastrodin group(3.13±0.64) were significantly higher than that(1.38±0.52) of MCAO group (P＜0.05).(2) Results of TTC staining showed that the infarction volume was obviously larger in the injured cerebral tissue in MCAO group in comparison with sham group,and the volume ratio of the cerebral infarction significantly decreased after the intervention with GAS (P＜0.05).(3) The integral optical density of MBP(272968.14±1215.23) and NF-H(12 142.73±47.16) in MCAO group decreased as compared to that((43 855.23±2434.16),(275 321.00±926.15)) in sham group and GAS group((321 531.2±2376.14),(106 135.73±598.15)) (P＜0.05).Conclusion GAS can improve neural function of mice after middle cerebral artery occlusion,and it may play an important role in protecting myelin and nerve fibers of striatum.

Objective To investigate the effect of sertraline on the viability and the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and phosphorylated ERK1/2 in NGF-induced rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells.Methods NGF-induced PC12 cells were pretreated or directly treated with different concentrations of sertraline for 24 or 48 hours and the pretreated groups were then subjected to serum withdrawal condition. Then cell viability was determined by the cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The expression of Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and pERK1/2in NGF-induced PC12 cells was determined by immunohistochemistry and western blot respectively. Results The viability of NGF-induced PC12 was improved after administration with sertra]ine. After 24h sertraline administration, the cells activity of PC 12 cells at 20μM ( 1.32 ± 0. 11 ) , 10μM ( 1. 17 ± 0.05 ) of direct effect, and 20μM ( 1.15 ±0.11 ) of protect effect increased dramatically as compared with control group. But high dose ( 50μM )sertraline express high toxic effect to PC12 cells. The expression of TH was increased by sertraline 20 μM at both 24h(ratio of TH/β-actin = 1.27 ±0.05) and 48h(ratio of TH/β-actin = 1. 23 ±0.08) compare with control group,and the expression of pERK1/2 also increased dramatically by sertraline 20 μM at both 24h (ratio of (pERK1/2)/β-actin = 1.41±0.05) and 48h( ratio of (pERK1/2)/β-actin = 1.40 ±0.06) compare with control group(P＜0. 01, P ＜ 0. 05). Immunohistochemistry showed similar results. Conclusion These data suggest that the neuroprotective effect of sertraline may play an important role in depression therapy, and this effect might be mediated by TH and pERK1/2 up-regulation.

Objective: To analyze the etiology and epidemiological characteristics of gastroenteritis virus in foodborne diseases from three cities in Shandong. Methods: From January to December 2017, six sentinel hospitals in Jinan, Yantai and Linyi city of Shandong Province were selected as the research sites. Stool samples of 1 397 diarrhea patients were collected, as well as basic information and clinical symptoms. Duplex quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect Norovirus genogroupⅠ (Nov GⅠ) and genogroupⅡ (Nov GⅡ), Sapovirus (SAV) and Human astrovirus (HAstV), respectively, quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect group A Rotavirus (RVA), and quantitative PCR was used to detect Enteric adenovirus (EAdV). The specific gene of the virus were sequenced and typed. It was compared that the gastroenteritis virus rate in cases with different characteristics and the clinical symptoms difference between the virus positive and negative cases. Results: The median age (P₂₅, P₇₅) was 23 (1, 42) , mainly male, 57.48% with 803 cased and children under 5 years old, 36.36% with 508 cases. The positive rate of gastroenteritis virus was 33.93% (474 cases), and that of Jinan, Linyi and Yantai City were 32.03% (147/459), 41.54% (189/455) and 28.57% (138/483), respectively (P<0.001). Nov GⅡ had the highest positive rate, 16.54% (231 cases), which, mainly GⅡ.P16/GⅡ.2 (48.28%, 56/116), peaked in May (24.75%, 50/202) and June (19.59%, 38/194). In patients of gastroenteritis virus positive, 44.51% (211/474) had vomiting symptoms, higher than that of patients of gastroenteritis virus negative (34.13%, 315/923). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion In Shandong Province, the majority of gastroenteritis patients were male and children under 5 years old. Nov GⅡ possessed highest epidemic intensity, and peaked in spring and summer. Viral gastroenteritis had atypical clinical symptoms.
