2.The regulation of Cathepsin B on cell apoptosis induced by SAHA in breast cancer cell line MCF-7
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2016;32(8):1086-1090
Aim To clarify the regulation role of ca-thepsin B ( Cat B ) in cell proliferation and apoptosis induced by SAHA in ER-positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods MTT was used to screen the optimal concentration and treatment time of SAHA . The expression levels of related proteins were deter-mined by ELISA , and the morphological changes were observed through time-lapse live cell imaging acquisi-tion.Cell viability and apoptosis assay in MCF-7 cells were assessed by Muse Cell Analyzer with SAHA and /or Cystatin C treatment .Results MTT assay showed that the anti-tumor efficacy of SAHA was significant . The optimal concentration and treatment time were 10μmol? L-1 and 24 h respectively . ELISA assay showed that SAHA could induce expression of Cat B in MCF-7 cells.Real-time live-cell imaging experiments demonstrated that the combination treatment of Cystatin C and SAHA significantly resumed the inhibitory effect caused by SAHA alone .Cytology test showed that SA-HA alone obviously depressed the cell viability and in-duced apoptosis . However , the effect was reversed with the combination of Cystatin C .Conclusion Cat B plays an important role in apoptosis induced by SAHA in ER +breast cancer cells MCF-7.

Objective To evaluate experience for early diagnosis of pulmonary tembolism alter thoracic injury or surgery. Methods The 9 patients after thoracic injury or surgery with highly-suspected pulmonary embolism underwent chest radiograph of X-ray, helical CT pulmonary angiography, electrocardiogram, radionuclide pulmonary ventilation perfusion imaging, D dimer assay and arterial blood gas analysis respectively and the clinic data and results were analyzed. Results All patients were diagnosed and recovered after 8 patients received thrombolytic therapy and another patient received anticoagulant therapy. Conclusion If there were some symptoms such as suddenly severe dyspnea, cyanosis, with/without chest pains and the feeling of fear to death unable to be explained by original disease on those patients alter thoracic injury or surgery, it's very important for pulmonary embolism to be recognized, and early diagnosis and quickly efficient treatment is the key to prevent death. Helical CT pulmonary angiography is a safe, cheap, noninvasive and effective method for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism with high sensitivity and specificity.

Objective To investigate the relapse factors and its control strategy for peptic ulcer patients .Methods A total of 160 cases of peptic ulcer patients who visited our hospital from Jan 2011 to Aug 2013 was retrospectively analyzed .The recurred pa-tients were assigned as the experimental group , and the others as the control group .The relapse factors for peptic ulcer were observed . Results Among 160 peptic ulcers , there were 46 cases with recurrence with a relapse rate of 28.8%.Single factor logistic regression analysis showed that smoking, drinking, the spring and autumn season, h.pylori (Hp) infection, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), mental factor, and male were the risk factors for recurrence of peptic ulcer .Further multivariable logistic regression analy-sis showed that smoking, drinking, mental factors, history taking NSAIDs, and Hp infection were also the risk factors for recurrence of peptic ulcer .Conclusions Smoking and alcoholism history , meatal factors , history of taking NSAIDs , and Hp infection were the in-dependent risk factors of recurrence of peptic ulcer , intervention of these risk factor might reduce ulcer recurrence .

OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant human tissue type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) intravenous thrombolytic in the treatment of elderly patients (over 75 years old) with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). METHODS:78 elderly ACI patients,on the basis of routine treatment,were divided into thrombolysis group (40 cases) and non-thrombolysis group (38 cases) according to the will of patients or family members. Non-thrombolysis group received aspirin 200 mg,qd;thrombolysis group was given rt-PA 0.9 mg/kg(maximum dose of 90 mg)by intravenous push of 10% dose within 1 min,and intravenous dripping of residue dose within 60 min;receiving aspirin 200 mg,qd,24 h after thrombolytic therapy with-out contraindications. Both groups were treated for 14 days. The effective rate,NIHSS score before treatment and 24 h,7 d and 14 d after treatment,prognosis after 90 d were compared between 2 groups,and the occurrence of ADR was observed in 2 groups. RE-SULTS:The total effective rate was 67.50% in thrombolysis group and 52.63% in non-thrombolysis group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);there was significant difference in NIHSS score between 2 groups 24 h,7 d,14 d after treatment(P<0.05);90 d prognosis of thrombolysis group was superior to that of non-thrombolysis group,there was statistically significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:4.5 h time window rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic therapy is safe and effective for elderly patients with ACI,and can reduce disability and fatality,im-prove prognosis.

Objective To screen the Doc 1R gene recombinant plasmid by use of colony PCR. Method The recombinant colonies were transfered into the PCR reaction mixture. The PCR primers were used for constructing mouse Doc 1R genomic sequence. Result Among the 5, 3 positive strips in the size of 1 500 bp were visible, which were the same as the Doc 1R gene fractions in terms of their sizes were screened as positive clones. The positive colony were further confirmed by double digestion and DNA sequencing. Conclusion Colony PCR is a simple, efficient and reliable technique for screening the recombinant.

Objective To investigate the relationship between glucose tolerance change and the coronary artery lesion in the patients with coronary heart disease. Methods One hundred and ninety three patients with coronary artery disease were divided into 3 groups according to WHO(1985) and American Diabetes Association (1997) standard of diabetic diagnoses: (1) normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group 122 cases; (2) impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group 39 cases; (3) type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) group 32 cases. All patients were examined by the coronary angiographic semiquantitative (CAG) and 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Blood glucose, insulin, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL C) were determined. The coronary artery changes were analysed by CAG, and the severity of coronary artery stenosis was evaluated according to American Heart Association standard. The risk factors of coronary artery lesion were analysed by pluralism stepwiss regression analysis. Results The coronary multivessel changes and the severity of coronary artery stenosis and calcification were more frequent in IGT group than those in NGT group (66.5% vs 35.1%, 8.9?3.6 vs 6.5?3.9, 6.3?3.6 vs 3.9?4.1 respectively, P
