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 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 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 analyze molecular epidemiological characteristics of drug resistance genes and carbapenem resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) in rural well water. Methods:According to Citation of Natural Mineral Water Inspection (GB 8538-2016), a total of 112 well water samples were tested in Juye county of Shandong province, and PFGE and drug susceptibility test were conducted for the identified PA strains. After PCR identification of carbapenem resistance genes, S1-PFGE and Southern blotting were used to determine the location of drug resistance genes, and combined experiments were used to determine gene transferability. Results:The detection rate of PA in rural well water samples in Juye county of Shandong province was 54.46% (61/112). The 61 strains could be divided into 56 PFGE types. There were 2 strains with 100.00% consistent band types, and there was no obvious predominant band type. The results of drug susceptibility experiments showed that 93.44% (57/61) were multi-drug resistant strains, and there were 2 strains carrying blaVIM-2, both of which were located on the plasmid, and both of them were transferred horizontally with the plasmid. Conclusion:PA carrying carbapenem resistance genes was detected in well water of rural communities in Juye country, and there is the possibility of horizontal transmission of such resistance genes.

Objective:To explore the effects of 5E rehabilitation nursing model on self-management behavior and fatigue symptoms of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) .Methods:Totally 110 COPD patients admitted in Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital from October 2018 to September 2019 were selected by convenient sampling, and divided into the control group ( n=53) and the experimental group ( n=57) according to the random number table. Excluding missing patients and patients with incomplete data, finally 48 patients were included in the control group and 51 patients were included in the experimental group. Patients in the control group received routine care and health guidance, while patients in the experimental group received care based on the 5E rehabilitation nursing model. The Self-Management Scale for COPD Patients and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Scale (FACIT-F) were used to evaluate the effects of interventions in the two groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of the Self-Management Scale between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05) ; the scores of all dimensions the Self-Management Scale of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group 12 weeks after discharge, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in fatigue scores between the two groups before intervention and 12 weeks after discharge ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:The 5E rehabilitation nursing model can improve the self-management behavior of COPD patients, but it cannot ameliorate the fatigue symptoms of patients. Large-sample, multi-center, and long-term research will be further needed in the future to explore the effects of the 5E rehabilitation nursing model on patients' fatigue symptoms.
