5.miR-451 inhibits cell invasion by targeting c-myc/MMP axis in invasive ductal carcinoma
Journal of Chinese Physician 2016;18(9):1336-1339,1344
Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-451 (miR-451) in female invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and its roles in tumor cell invasion.Methods Forty five IDC tissues and matched tumor adjacent tissues were collected between January and December in 2014.The expressions of miR-451 in tissues were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).The relationship between long noncoding RNA taurine regulated genes 1 (lncRNA-TUG1) and clinical features was analyzed by student-t test.miR-451 mimics was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells.Transwell assay was used to measure cell invasion ability.The expression of c-myc,a potential target of miR-451,and its downstream genes,matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western-blot.Resuts The expression of miR-451 was significantly lower in IDC tissues than in matched tumor adjacent tissues (P < 0.05).Low expression of miR-451 was positively associated with lymphatic metastasis (P < 0.05) and advanced tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage (P < 0.05).Up-regulation of miR-451 in MDA-MB-231 cells could significantly suppress cell invasion ability (P <0.05).c-myc expression was down-regulatedwhen miR-451 was transfected (P <0.05).As downstream genes of c-myc,the expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were suppressed.Conclusions miR-451 is down-regulated in IDC tissues and associated with cell invasion.miR-451 might inhibit IDC progression by inhibiting c-myc/MMP axis.

Chinese Journal of Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology 2009;15(4):217-219
Objective To explore the mechanism of vitamin E on delaying skin aging by observ-ing the expression of hyaluronic acid synthetase-2 (HAS-2) in human dermal fibroblasts in vitro. Methods Human skin fibroblasts were cultured in vitro, and these fibroblast cells were then divided into 3 groups: different concentration of vitamin E (0, 0.1 × 10-10, 1 ×109mol/L) was added in the medium in the different group. 24 hours later, the fibroblasts were collected, RNAs extracted, and then amplified by RT-PCR. The PCR product was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis, to analyze the level of HAS-2 mRNA expression. Results RT-PCR showed the lever of HAS-2 mRNA was higher in the low-dose group than the control group, with significant difference (P<0.05) ; the lever of HAS-2 mRNA was higher in the high-dose group than control group, with significant difference (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the lever of HAS-2 mRNA between the low-dose group and the high-dose group. Conclusions Vitamin E can enhance the expression of hyaluronic acid synthetase-2 mRNA, may increase the synthesis of HAS in skin fibroblasts and increase water content in the skin, so that it might reverse or delay the skin aging.

10.Laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis for retinal vein occlusion
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2001;17(1):8-11
Purpose To evaluate the therapeutic effect of laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis for retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Methods The investigation included 28 consecutive patients (28 eyes) with RVO.The non-ischemic group 18 cases (18 eyes) were treated with the krypton red laser to induce chorioretinal venous anastomosis, the ischemic group underwent the same therapy and the grid or scatter-type photocoagulation at the same time. All of the eyes were followed up for more than 5 months, and with an average period of 6.6 months. Results Seven cases (7 eyes, 38.9%) of the non-ischemic group created successful chorioretinal venous anastomosis, with mean improvement of 4.43±0.78 standard deviation (±s) lines of best-corrected visual acuity compared to 0.19±0.67 (±s) lines for 11 eyes with unsuccessful anastomosis (P<0.001). None of the seven eyes developed to ischemic state. Four of the 11 eyes with unsuccessful anastomosis converted to ischemic type (36.4%). Two cases of the ischemic group created successful anastomosis with improvement in visual acuity. The other cases had no change in visual acuity. Conclusion Laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis is a new therapeutic method for RVO, especially for nonischemic type and successful anastomosis can decrease the conversion rate of the vein occlusion to an ischemic state.
