ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic efficacy ofacupoint thread embedding in treating hyperlipidemia, and to explore a treatment method with valid efficacy and few side effects.MethodSixty patients with hyperlipidemia were randomized into a thread embedding group and a medication group, 30 cases ineach group. The thread embedding group was intervened by thread embedding at Zhongwan (CV12), Tianshu (ST25), Fenglong (ST40), and Zusanli (ST36), once a week; the medication group was by taking Xue Zhi Kang capsules, two capsules each time, twice a day. The two groups both received treatment for 8 weeks. The clinical efficacy, total cholesterol (Chol), and triglyceride levels were observed before and after treatment.ResultThe total effective rate was 86.7% in the thread embedding group versus 83.3% in the medication group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). After 4-week treatment, the transaminase level increased in 3.3% of the patients in the medication group, while no one showed an increased transaminase level in the thread embedding group. After 8-week treatment, the observed indexes were increased in the medication group, while those in the thread embedding group were still stable.ConclusionAcupoint thread embedding is effective in treating hyperlipidemia, and the effect is durable with few side effects.

Purpose:To study the RNA interference-mediated inhibition of survivin gene on the proliferation of human breast cancer SKBr-3 cells. Methods:SKBr-3 cells were transfected with a pSUPER-S1 vector plasmid that expressed survivin-targeted small interfering RNA, and the mRNA and protein levels of survivin gene were measured with RT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence, respectively. The proliferation of transfected SKBr-3 cells was investigated through colony forming assay and MTT assay. The cell cycle phases were determined by flow cytometry(FCM). Results:The mRNA and protein levels of survivin declined markedly in pSUPER-S1-transfected SKBr-3 cells. And the colony forming rate of those cells(38?16.70)% was significantly lower than that of the control cells(90.3?4.04)%.The growth of the pSUPER-S1-transfected cells was decelerated and the cell cycle was mainly blocked at G_(1) phase(74.03?8.91)%. Conclusions:survivin gene silencing by RNA interference contributed to a distinctive inhibition of the proliferation of human breast cancer SKBr-3 cells in vitro.

Objective To study the inhibitory effect of arsenic trioxide(AS2O3)on the tumor growth of breast cancer line MDA-MB-435s implanted subcutaneously in nude mice and its mechanism.Methods BALB/C-nu/nu nude mice were subcutaneously injected with MDA-MB-435s breast cancer cells that are ER-positive,and treated with intraperitoneal injection of AS2O3 and DDP in different concentrations.The implanted tumor was weighed,and tumor inhibition rates were calculated.The expression of PTEN and Caspase-7 induced by AS2 03 were examined by immunohistochemical method.Results The growth of implanted tumor was markedly inhibited with DDP,low dose and high dose AS2O3,and the inhibitory rates were 48.68%,32.80%,66.67%respectively.The immunohisto chemical staining showed that the number of PTEN and Caspase-7 protein increased markedly(P<0.05).Conclu sions AS2O3 inhibits the growth of human breast cancer cell implanted tumor.The molecular mechanism of AS2O3 on induction of apoptosis of breast cancer cells may be throush increasing the expression of PrrEN and Caspase-7(P <0.05).

Objective To understand the status and the influencing factors of urban and rural elderly housebound in western region of China. Methods Two urban communities and two towns were selected from Chengdu and Lanzhou. A total of 2 584 elderly meeting the conditions were selected for investigation (including demographic data, living habits, physical condition, environmental, psychological, social status, housebound state rating scale, etc.) by method of going to home one by one. Results The incidence of community elderly housebound was 18.85% (487/2 584) in the western region. Multivariate regression analysis showed that other occupation (farmers, self-employed, free occupation, no industry etc.), no drinking, no exercise, no communication with neighbors, poor daily activities were the main factors affecting the occurrence of housebound. Conclusions The western region of community elderly housebound is higher, we should take appropriate measures to prevent the occurrence and deterioration of housebound.
