This study was aimed to explore differential effects of various sections of the velvet antler on promoting cell proliferation in vitro. The NRK-49F cell line from rat kidney fibroblasts was used as the cell model. The cell proliferation rates of the water extracts from the upper, middle and lower section of fresh velvet antler were measured by the MTT method. BCA method was used in the detection of protein concentration. The SDS-PAGE method was used in the analysis of difference composition of the sample protein. The results showed that soluble protein content of the upper, middle and lower section were 17.89, 16.04 and 6.89 mg·mL-1, respectively. From the top to the base, the soluble protein content of velvet antler was decreased. After 24 h treatment, when the protein concentration of the upper and middle section samples of the velvet antler were 800 μg·mL-1 and 600 μg·mL-1, the cell proliferation promoting rates reached the maximum, which were 66.76% and 64.36%, respectively. And when the lower section sample of the velvet antler was 1 000 μg·mL-1, the cell proliferation promoting rates reached the maximum, which was 58.87%. After 48 h treatment, when the upper and middle section samples of the velvet antler were 800μg·mL-1, the cell proliferation promoting rates reached the maximum, which were 219.56% and 215.86%, respectively. And when the lower section sample of the velvet antler was 1 000 μg·mL-1, the cell proliferation promoting rates reached the maximum, which was 169.20%. The velvet antler on the proliferation of cells was much better than the 10% fetal bovine serum. The figure of SDS-PAGE showed the slight difference in the protein composition of three part of the velvet antler. It was concluded that all samples had promoting effects on cell proliferation with concentration-depen-dent, and the main protein in different part of the velvet antler had minor differences.

Objective To investingate the effect of SGK1 expression level on the prognosis of patients with NSCLC,and provide new biological predictors for the prognosis assessment of patients with NSCLS.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with NSCLC received radical resection in Hanzhong 3201 hospital from Jan 2011 to Dec 2013 were selected.There were 75 males and 45 females,age (63.15 ± 16.44) years,age range 45-80 years.According to the results of immunohistochemical staining,the SGK1 cut-off value determined by the integral was determined,and NSCLC patients were divided into SGK1 high expression group (n =70) and SGK1 low expression group(n =50).The relationship between the expression of SGK1 and clinicopathological features (age,sex,smoking history,alcoholism history,BMI,tissue type,tumor diameter,T stage,N stage,TNM stage,differentiation degree) in NSCLC were analyzed,and the overall survival rate in NSCLC were also analyzed.Followup was carried out by telephone or patient admission.The follow-up period was up to June 1,2018.Chest X-ray and ultrasonography were reviewed every 3 to 6 months after operation,and enhanced CT or MRI were performed if the results were abnormal.The measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed by t test and showed by (Mean ± SD);the counting data were tested by x2 test;the 5-year overall survival rate was used as the endpoint event for univariate analysis,and the significant variables for univariate analysis were analyzed by COX risk ratio model for multivariate analysis.The cumulative survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method,and the difference was tested by Log-rank method.Results The expression level of SGK1 in tissues was not related to age,sex,smoking history,alcoholism,BMI,tissue type and tumor diameter (P ＞ 0.05),but it was related to T stage,N stage,TNM stage and differentiation degree (P ＜ 0.05).The univariate and multivariate COX risk ratio model showed that TNM stage and SGK1 expression were independent factors affecting the 5-year overall survival rate of NSCLC patients (P ＜ 0.05).The results of Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 5-year overall survival rate in NSCLC with low expression of SGK1 was significantly higher than that in NSCLC with high expression of SGK1 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The expression of SGK1 in tissues is closely related to the prognosis of patients with NSCLC.The high expression of SGK1 in tissues is not conducive to the prognosis of patients with NSCLC.
