The invasion and metastasis of tumor as the primary cause of death in cancer increases not only the patient's suffering, but also the difficulty of clinical treatment. It is an important guiding to find the molecular biological tumor markers and gene targets of antirecurrence and antimetastasis for clinical treatment. The invasion and metastasis of tumor is a complex process including the biological characteristics of the cancer, interaction among host cells, extracellular matrix and cancer cells, etc. Recently, epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is becoming a hot spot in oncology research by virtue of its effect on genesis and development of tumor. Currently, the known markers of EMT include epithelial marker proteins mainly containing E-cadherin and interstitial marker proteins mainly containing N-cadherin and vimentin. It is necessary to make a summary among the studies on three proteins.

Objective To analyze the contemporary TCM academic team of lung cancer, summarizes its main academic thoughts. Methods To represent characters, important documents, and the main academic ideas as the basis of a team. From the perspective of the literature, literature of Chinese medicine against lung cancer, adopt the method of literature metrology, and social network analysis the candidate teams were found;the method of literature investigation evaluation candidate team heritage was adopted, the main academic thoughts from each team representative was summarized. Results A total of 8 441 researchers published 5 030 papers about treatment of lung cancer with TCM. 91 researchers with large amount papers and seven academic team were found. Conclusion Chinese medicine treatment of lung cancer made a great progress in the contemporary, team enriched the TCM system of principle, method, square, medicine.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of the glucocorticoid?induced osteoblasts apoptosis,and to develop the effective intervention measures. Methods The MC3T3?E1 cells were treated with different concentrations of dexamethasone for 24 hours,then the apoptosis rate was detected with TUNEL analysis,the intracellular expression of Bim and Bax were determined by Westen blot. In addition,MC3T3?E1 cells were randomly divided into Bim?siRNA group,negative control siRNA group and control group. Twenty?four hours after transfection,10-4mmol/L dexamethasone was added to each group of cells for another 24 hours administration. The apoptosis rate was analyzed using the TUNEL,the mito?chondrial transmembrane electric potential was detected by flow cytometry after JC?1 staining,the expression of Bax,Bcl?2 in mitochondrial and Cyt?C,AIF in cytosolic were determined by Western blot. Results The rate of osteoblast apoptosis and Bim expression in cells were both significantly in?creased with the dosage of dexamethasone,there was no significant difference between the groups in the expression of Bax;the rate of osteoblast apop?tosis after the expression of silence Bim was significantly lower than the negative control siRNA group and control group,the expression of Bax and Cyt?C,AIF in cytosolic were significantly reduced,and the mitochondrial transmembrane electric potential was increased. Conclusion Bim is the key molecules in hormone?induced apoptosis of osteoblasts ,the expression of silence Bim can inhibit dexamethasone induced osteoblasts apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway.
