The cerebral infarction model was made according to Chen et al To evaluate the severity of infarction the quantity of Evan's blue was measured. The cerebral infarction size was determined by TTC stain. The results showed that ligating the right common carotid artery and the right middle cerebal artery and clamping the left common carotid artery could induce cerebral cortex in farction. Berbamine could decreased the level of Evan's blue and reduce the infarction size compared with control group. It suggests that berbamine possesses protective effect on experimental induced cerebral infarction.

The study showed that NMBA could inhibit the rabbit thoracic aorta contractions induced by KC1, CaCl2 and NA, and the pD' 2 values were 3.44, 3.67 and 3.73 respectively. NMBA could also antagonize the extracellular Ca2 + contraction of NA with no effect on the intra-cellular Ca2+ contraction. Comparing with verapamil, the mechanism of NMBA action was inferred to blocking Ca2+ influx during excitation. However, further study will be needed.

Objective To study the effect of lincRNA-p21 on the proliferation of renal cell carcinoma.Methods The expression levels of lincRNA-p21in renal cell carcinoma tissues and their corresponding para-cancerous tissues from 17 patients in department of nephrology,Hua Xi hospital,was detected by RT-PCR.In addition,the expression of lincRNA-p21 was analyzed in human clear cell RCC cell line 786-O and human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293.The cell proliferation,apoptosis and the expression of Bax、Noxa、Puma that participated in p53 signaling pathway were detected after lincRNA-p21 was downregulated with siRNA.Results The expression levels of lincRNA-p21was higher in renal cell carcinoma tissues and 786-O cells than para-cancerous tissues and HEK-293 cells respectively(P ＜ 0.05).The ability of proliferation was significantly increased after lincRNA-p21 siRNA treatment in 786-O cells,whereas the cell apoptosis was decreased (P ＜ 0.05).The mRNA expressions of Bax,Noxa,Puma were also dramatically decreased after lincRNA-p21 was downregulated(P ＜0.05).Conclusion LincRNA-p21 inhibits the cell proliferation of 786-O cells through participation in p53 signal transduction pathways.These data suggested that lincRNA-p21 maybe could be used as molecular targets for human RCC treatment.

The contraction of the isolated rabbit renal arteries induced by noradrenaline, high K+ & calcium could be relaxed by berbamine ( BA ). BA shifted dose-response curve of noradrenaline, high K+ snd calcium to the right, but the maximal response was reduced. The antagonistic parameter pD' 2 of berbamine on calcium contrac-tion was 4.76, which is similar to the verapamil (pD'2=5.68). Therefore berbamine can be considered as a non-competitive calcium antagonist.

Objective To summarize the hot spots and cutting-edges by exploring Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) research in cancer.Methods CiteSpace is used to analyze MDT in cancer visually.Results 2 160 related literatures,10 key literatures,15 main clusters and 29 burst terms are detected.Conclusion MDT research on cancer mainly focuses on operation process,implemention and evaluation of effects.Improving efficiency,cost-effectiveness analysis and randomized controlled trial is the cutting-edge topics.This provides a new perspective for China.

Objective: To investigate the secondary metabolites from Chinese marine Sponge Cinachyrella australiensis. Methods: Column chromatography techniques including HPLC were used for the separation and purification of the compounds, and extensive spectral analyses including various 2D NMR spectra were employed for structure elucidation. Results: Nineteen compounds were obtained ,including 2 methyoxy 6,12,15 trien 8 yne octadecanoic acid(1), 2 benzenedicarboxylic acid dibutyl ester(2), 1,2 benzenedicarboxylic acid bis(2 ethylhexyl)ester(3), ( ) (3S) 1,2,3,4 tetrahydro ? carboline 3 carboxylic acid(4), L Tryptophan (5), p hydroxylbenzaldehyde (6), p hydroxyl benzylethanol(7), p hydroxyl benzyl propanol(8), cholesta 4 en 3 ol(9), 2 methyl 6 amino 9 (2 deoxy ?

The isolated working heart of guinea pig perfused with Tyrode's solution could work normally for at least 60 min. It was shown that berbamine ( BA ) could depress the function of isolated working heart of guinea pig in dose-dependent manner. BA 3 mol/L could decrease the left ventricular pressure, aortic pressure, -dP/dtmax, aortic blood flow and coronary blood flow, and increase left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. BA 100 mol/L could result in the ventricular asystole, however, no obvious influence the contraction of atrium.It was also demonstrated that BA could antagonise the arrhythmias induced by the adrenaline in isolated working heart of guinea Pig.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between sonographic features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC) and cervical lymph node metastasis.Methods Preoperative sonographic features of 379 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma in 341 patients were retrospectively reviewed,and were divided into two groups,lymph node metastasis and lymph node non-metastasis according to pathology.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze the sonographic features relevant to lymph node metastasis.Results Univariate analysis revealed that unclear border,microcalcification and multifocal PTMC were statistically significant(all P ＜0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that microcalcification and multifocal PTMC were statistically significant (both P ＜0.05).Conclusions Microcalcification and multifocal PTMC are closely relevant to cervical lymph node metastasis.
