1.Research progress of miR-451 in tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2014;41(12):887-890
MicroRNA-451 (miR-451) is significantly lowly expressed in glioma,gastric cancer,colorectal cancer,liver cancer and other tumor tissues.Upregulation of miR-451 can significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation,invasion and metastasis as well as increasing tumor cell apoptosis and improving radiotherapy and chemotherapy sensitivity and other biological effects.

Objective To explore the effect of intensive statin on platelet activity and inflammation factors 24 h after rat myocar‐dial infarction .Methods Seventy Sprague‐Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups (n= 14):Sham‐operated group (SHAM group);AMI group(control group) ,general group;intensive statin therapy group ;general and intensive statin therapy group;established AMI rat model by ligation of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery .The general group ,general and intensive statin therapy group was fed atorvastatin by 10 mg · kg -1 · d-1 with distilled water 2 mL by intragastric gavage daily for two weeks .The intensive statin therapy group ,general and intensive statin therapy group was fed atorvastatin by 50 mg/kg with distilled water 2 mL by intragastric gavage 12 h before surgery .Serum PAC‐1 ,CD62p ,TNF‐α,hs‐CRP was measured at the time of 24 h of postoperation .Results TNF‐α,hs‐CRP ,PAC‐1 and CD62p levels in control group were significantly higher than the SHAM group and intensive statin group 24 h after the LADS were ligated(P<0 .05);and the factors of intensive statin group were signifi‐cantly lower than that of control group(P<0 .05) .There was no significant difference between the intensive statin group and gener‐al‐intensive group in the concentration of serum TNF ,hs‐CRP and the relative expression of PAC‐1 and CD62p(P> 0 .05);and there was no significant difference between normal group and control group in all the four factors (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Intensive statin therapy before acute myocardial infarction could decrease the level of inflammation factors and inhibit platelet activity postop‐eration .

With the development of natural products, the research activities on the solubilization methods of water-insoluble natural products have been carried out worldwide. Big molecular weight and poor solubility of most natural active ingredients lead to a very poor oral absorption and low bioavailability, which has extremely limited their development in pharmaceutical fields and clinical application. As a result, it is necessary to find out a suitable technique to improve the solubility and enhance the oral bioavailability of insoluble natural drugs. Based on the related references published in these years, this review introduced some new techniques to improve the solubility and bioavailability of natural drugs, including prodrugs, inclusion complex, solid dispersion, cocrystals, osmotic pump, liquisolid compacts, micronization, self-microemulsifying, nanosuspensions, lipsomes, polymeric micelles and so on, and summarized the theory, characteristics, application range, application examples, problems and development direction of each technique.

Objective To investigate the effect of fusidic acid cream on inflammatory reaction caused by skin barrier damage.Methods Eight male SKH-1 hairless mice were included in this study.The back of each of these mice were equally divided into six regions measuring 1 cm × 2 cm in size,which were then assigned into six groups:blank control group remaining untreated,barrier-impaired group,barrier-impaired and fusidic acid-treated group,barrier-impaired and vehicle-treated group,barrier-unimpaired and fusidic acid-treated group,barrierunimpaired and vehicle-treated group.Stratum corneum was removed by adhesive tape stripping to establish an animal model of acute skin barrier damage in the corresponding skin regions of these mice,and fusidic acid cream or vehicle was topically applied to the corresponding regions once.Twelve hours later,skin surface swab samples were collected from the back of these mice followed by bacterial culture and colony counting.Mice were then sacrificed,and skin tissue specimens were resected from these mice,and subjected to real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR for the measurement of the mRNA expressions of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88),interleukin-1α (IL-1α),IL-6,epidermal antibacterial peptides S100a8 and S100a9.Statistical analysis was carried out by repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and least significant difference (LSD) test.Results The mRNA expressions of MyD88,IL-1α,IL-6,S100a8 and S100a9 were all significantly higher in the barrier-impaired group than in the blank control group (all P < 0.05).Specifically,the mRNA expression level of MyD88 in the barrier-impaired group was 8 times that in the blank control group (8.3 ± 3.0 vs.0.8 ± 0.4).Compared with the barrier-impaired group,the barrier-impaired and fusidic acid-treated group showed a significant decrease in the mRNA expressions of IL-1α (2.8 ± 0.3 vs.20.1 ± 10.0,F =47.11,P < 0.01),IL-6 (1.6 ± 2.3 vs.9.4 ± 4.0,F =16.18,P< 0.01),S100a8 (1.5 ± 1.4 vs.5.0 ± 1.6,F=59.71,P< 0.05) and S100a9 (1.2 ± 0.7 vs.3.4 ± 1.6,F=21.94,P < 0.05).Conlusions Fusidic acid cream could attenuate the inflammatory reaction caused by acute skin barrier damage,which might partly explain its action mechanism in the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases.

Objective To screen 18 endophytes from Pseudolarix kaempferi Gord for molluscicidal effect and identify them by morphology. Methods Molluscicidal tests were performed according to the immersion test suggested by WHO and the strain screened was identified by the slide culture. Results The mortality rates of snails immersed by JJ18 broth salified (pH=7) were 26.7%, 76.7% and 100.0% for 24,48 h and 72 h, respectively, and 53.3% and 86.7% in 5% and 10% concentrations of JJ18 broth, respectively. The active components were extracellular moiety of the broth which had no acute toxicity to fish, and JJ18 strain belonged to Aspergillus. Conclusion Extracellular moiety of endophyte JJ18 from Pseudolarix kaempferi Gord is a new resource of molluscicide.

· AlM:To investigate the effect of compound anisodine on fundus blood circulation after vitrectomy with face-down position.
· METHODS: Sixty patients ( 60 eyes ) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment received vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade operation, who were randomized divided into treatment group ( 30 eyes ) and control group ( 30 eyes ) .The patients in the treatment group received the subcutaneously injection of compound anisodine hydrobromide by the superficial temporal artery once daily for 14d since postoperative first day.Retinal microcirculation blood flow parameters were recorded with Heidelberg retinal flowmeter postoperative 1d, 1 and 2wk, and were compared between two groups.
·RESULTS: The blood flow parameters ( Vol, Flw, Vel) of control group postoperative 1 and 2wk were significantly less than those postoperative 1d.Otherwise the parameters of treatment postoperative 1 and 2wk were significantly more than those postoperative 1d. The parameters between two groups were significant different ( P<0.01) .
· CONCLUSlON: Facing down after vitrectomy with
silicone oil tamponade may reduce retinal blood supply, consequently lead to retinal ischemia; compound anisodine can effectively improve the retinal and choroidal microcirculation after vitrectomy with face-down posture, reduce retinal ischemia, and enhance the visual function.
