Objective To explore the effects of removing-stasis and resuscitating methods on patients with severe cerebral injury. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed with clinical data of 47 patients. All 47 patients were recruited into a control group(n=21) and a treatment group(n=26). The control group was treated with conventional western medicines; while the treatment group was additional treated with traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of the control group. Results The rate for resuscitation after one week's treatment was 73.08% and 57.14% in the treatment group and the control group respectively, showing significant differences (P<0.01). The total effective rate was 76.92% and 61.90% in the treatment group and the control group respectively, also showing significant difference (P<0.05) . Conclusion The method of removing-stasis and resuscitating can promote severe cerebral injury patients regain their consciousness, and improve their prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the effect of high expression of TET1 catalytic domain (TET1-CD) gene on the proliferation and migration of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and its underlying mechanism. Methods: MDA-MB-231 cell line with high TET1-CD expression was established by lentiviral transfection. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of TET1-CD. Transwell assay and cell scratch assay were used to detect cell migration ability, MTT assay and colony formation assay were used to detect cell proliferation capacity. And WB was adopted to detect the expressions of EMT-related proteins (E-cadherin, Vimentin, MMP2) and Wnt, Hedgehog pathway-related proteins in MDA-MB-231 cells. Results: The MDA-MB-231 cell line with high TET1-CD expression was successfully constructed (all P<0.01). TET1-CD over-expression significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells (P<0.01); in addition, TET1-CD over-expression increased the expression of E-cadherin, but down-regulated the expressions of Vimentin, MMP2, β-catenin, Gli1, C-myc and CyclinD1 (all P<0.05). Conclusion: TET1-CD may inhibit the proliferation and migration of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by inhibiting the EMT through Wnt and HH signaling pathway.
