Cancer stem cells (CSC) play a crucial role in the tumor angiogenesis.Angiogenic factors and hypoxia mediate the process.CSC car differentiate into vascular endothelial cells and participate in the formation of vasculogenic mimicry,which may be one of the key factors in the initiation and progression of tumors.lndepth studies of the roles of CSC in tumor angiogenesis might help provide the basis for developing more effective therapeutic drug target.

Objective To study the efficiency of reversing MDR by suppressing MDR1 gene with RNAi in K562/ADM cells. Methods For reversing MDR by RNAi technology, two different short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) were designed and constructed into pGenSil-1 plasmid, respectively. They were then transfected into the highly adriamycin-resistant K562/ADM cell line. The RNAi effect on MDR was evaluated by real-time PCR, and Rhodamine123 (Rh123) efflux assy. Results The stable transfected clones showed varied degrees of reversal of MDR phenotype. Surprisingly, the MDR phenotype was completely reversed in two transfected clones. Conclusion This study demonstrates that MDR can be reversed by the shRNA-mediated RNAi in K562/ADM cells, which provides a valuable clue as to sensitizing multidrug-resistant hepatoma cells to anti-cancer drugs.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect and safety of intravenous flurbiprofen axetil combind with fentanyl and propofol on coloscopy.Methods Ninety patients undergone coloscopy were randomly assigned into three groups according to different analgesics received(30 in each,groupⅠ: fentanyl 1?g/kg;groupⅡ flurbiprofen axetil combined with fentany 0.5?g/kg;group Ⅲ: fentany 0.5?g/kg).Patients in group Ⅱ received intravenous flurbiprofen axetil 1mg/kg 10min before examination.All patients were given intravenous midazolam 0.02mg/kg 2mins before examination,however patients in group Ⅰ received intravenous fentanyl 1?g/kg followed by intravenous propofol 0.5-1mg/kg,whereas patients in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ received intravenous fentanyl 0.5?g/kg followed by equal dosage of propofol.Propofol was administrated according to patients' reaction during examination.After the examination all patients were transferred to recovery room.BP,HR and SpO2 were measured before and after drug administration,when the coloscope reached the splenic flexure of the colon and after the examination.Dosage of propofol and fentanyl,duration of coloscopy,side effects and patients' memory of pain during examination were recorded.Results Propofol dosages of the three groups were 82.0?23.8mg,73.0?25.0mg and 108.2?36.5mg,respectively.Propofol dosage of group Ⅲ was much larger than that of groups Ⅰand Ⅱ(P0.05).Dizziness and nausea occurred in 17 patients in group Ⅰ when they left the recovery room,whereas the same side effects only appeared in one patient in group Ⅱ and 3 patients in group Ⅲ,respectively.It was shown by follow-up that all patients of the three groups had no memory of pain.Conclusion Intravenous flurbiprofen axetil may strengthen intraoperative analgesia during coloscopy,reduce the dosage of fentanyl and propofol,and decrease the side effects of anesthesia.

Tumor angiogenesis is an important way of rapid proliferation and metastasis for malignancies,and a variety of cellular and molecular factors involved in the process.Angiopoietin-2(Ang-2) is one of the important vascular endothelial growth factor,which influences tumor angiogenesis mainly through releasing vascular structures and damaging the vessel stability.Recent researches reveal that Ang-2 modulates tumor angiogenesis interacting with other vascular growth factors.With the new research progress,Ang-2 will not only be an important target for antiangiogenic therapy,but also further improve clinical efficacy of antitumor therapy combined with other signal pathways as common targets.

Pretreatment with RO318220 and Nrf2 siRNA significantly decreased the PKC protein , Nrf2 protein, and HO-1 mRNA, protein and activity .CONCLUSION:CSE up-regulates the HO-1 expression through PKC-induced nuclear translocation of Nrf2 in the rat airway epithelial cells .

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is an important transcriptional factor,which plays crucial role in response to hypoxia.HIF is highly expressed in many human cancers,and it is closely related to tumor angiogenesis.HIF promotes tumor growth,invasion and metastasis via up-regulating vascular endothelial growth factor gene and starting associated angiogenesis.With the in-depth study of HIF regulation of tumor angiogenesis mechanism,HIF is expected to become an important target for anti-angiogenesis therapy.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of different doses of budesonide mixed suspension atomization inhalation in children with post infectious cough,and provide reference for the rational use of budesonide.Methods One hundred and twenty children with post infectious cough aged 2-14 years old were selected and divided into three groups by random digits table method (40 cases in each group).Control group was treated with 4 mg once montelukast sodium chewable tablets for 2-5 years old children,or 5 mg once for 6-14 years old children.Low-dose group was treated 2 times/d with a dose of 0.5 mg budesonide mixed suspension diluted in normal saline to 4 ml based on control group and high-dose group was treated 2 times/d with a dose of 1.0 mg budesonide mixed suspension diluted in normal saline to 4 ml based on control group.The outcome of curative effects were recorded and analyzed after 7 days of treatment.Results The total efficacy rate was 70.0％(28/40),52.5％(21/40),35.0％(14/40) in high-dose group,low-dose group and control group after 3 days of treatment,and there was significant difference between high-dose group and control group (P＜ 0.01).The total efficacy rate was 92.5％(37/40),90.0％(36/40),72.5％ (29/40) in high-dose group,low-dose group and control group after 7 days of treatment,and there was no significant difference(P ＞ 0.025).Few adverse events associated with inhaled corticosteroids,such as thrush,sore throat,hoarseness were observed in three groups.Conclusions Budesonide mixed suspension atomization inhalation alleviates symptom of post infectious cough significantly with no obvious side effects,even in high-dose group which has a more outstanding efficacy.Therefore,this therapy is valuable in clinical application.
