Objective To investigate the effects of 4.1N expression in lung cancer A549 cell line on cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Methods A549 cells were cultured in vitro and transfected with lipofectamine 2000 mediation. Three groups were employed: transfection with pEGFP-4.1N plasmid, pEGFP vector plasmid, and blank control, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression differences of 4.1N was examined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot in every group after 48 h. The proliferation capability was determined by MTT assay. Invasion capability was evaluated by scratches, adhesion experiments and Transwell chamber model. Results After the transfection, the expression of 4.1N mRNA and protein in pEGFP-4.1N plasmid transfection group was significantly enhanced (P<0.05). The proliferation capability of A549 cells descended extremely (P<0.05). The migration and invasion capability of A549 cells in vitro decreased substantially (P<0.05). Conclusions Transfected with 4.1N gene can significantly increases the expression levels of 4.1N mRNA and protein in A549 cells which are highly metastatic in human. Cell behavior in vitro studies showed that 4.1N gene can inhibit the proliferation, adhesion, invasion and migration of A549 cells, which plays an important role in the metastasis of lung cancer and it may become a molecular marker for metastasis of lung cancer.

ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of preoperative psychological communication on psychological state of elderly patients before destined operation.Methods136 cases of elderly patients underwent elective operation were divided into the observation group and the control group with 68 cases in each group,the control group was given routine nursing of general surgery,the observation group received targeted psychological communication based upon routine nursing for consecutive 3 days before surgery.The psychological state such as anxiety,depression and fear was compared between two groups.ResultsThe anxiety,depression and fear in the observation group was significantly improved compared with the control group.ConclusionsPreoperative appropriate and targeted psychological communication can alleviate the anxiety,depression and fear of the elderly patients with elective operation,and contribute to the smooth operation.
