Aim To observe the effects of amlodipine on cell cycle,cell cycle-related genes and cyclin expression of human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells.And to probe effects of amlodipine on cell cycle and its mechanism of human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells.Methods In vitro growth inhibitory effects of amlodip-ine on human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells were determined by MTT assay,cell cycle distribution was detected by flow cytometry,the Mrna expression levels of cell cycle-related genes cyclinD1 and p21 were treated by RT-PCR,and the protein expression of cell cycle protein cyclinD1 and p21 were assessed by Western blot.Results With dose and time dependently,amlodipine could inhibit the proliferation of human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells in vitro.The IC_(50) was 14.439 μmol·L~(-1).When breast cancer cells MCF-7 were treated with 7.22 μmol·L~(-1)(1/2 IC_(50)),14.439 μmol·L~(-1)(IC_(50))and 28.88 μmol·L~(-1)(2IC_(50))amlodipine for 48 h,the ratios in the G_0/G_1 phase were significantly increased as compared with control group(P<0.05).Amlodipine inhibited the expression of Mrna and protein of cyclinD1,while increased the expression of Mrna and protein of p21.Conclusions Amlodipine exhibits obvious anti-tumor activities on human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells and arrest cell cycle in G_1 phase.The mechanism of G_1 phase arresting may be related to modulating the Mrna and protein expression of cell cycle-related gene cyclinD1 and p21.

0.05), whereas the value of new bone grafted with pDBM was significantly lower than that of the normal group (P0.05); but the CUS of the pDBM grafted group was significantly lower than that of normal radius (P0.05). Histological analysis exhibited that most of the DBM was absorbed and substituted by matured new cortical bone in the treated defects of both groups 6 weeks postoperatively, whereas in the untreated group, the defects were only filled with fibrous connective tissue in their mid-portion. Conclusion The sDBM and pDBM are both effective in repairing segmental bone defects. The properties of new bone induced by grafts with sDBM are superior to that of pDBM in biomechanics. These materials can be used in clinical practice as bone graft extenders or enhancers.

BACKGROUND: In the research of biomaterial, especially bio-coatings field, how to find a good biological and mechanical properties basal body, and to prepare coatings with uniform and compact surface and strong bonding force, is the key factor in clinical Application of artificial prosthesis. OBJECTIVE: To review the progress of bio-coatings.METHODS: Databases of CNKI, VIP, and Science Direct were retrieved with key words of "Biocoatings, HAp, Titanium, Carbon/carbon composites" to search papers published from January 1998 to October 2009. PApers underlying bio-coatings were selected. Totally 216 literatures were initial searched, according to inclusive criteria, 31 literature were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: By contrasting the basal bodies made of titanium or carbon/carbon and different coating preparation, we found that the basal body composed of carbon/carbon composites exhibited good biocompatibility, which had similar strength to natural bone. Using hydrothermal method, the composites coating prepared by taking carbon/carbon as basal body and hydroxyApatite, chitosan, or polymethyl methacrylate as coatings provided a new idea for increasing the combing strength between coatings and basal body.

Objective To study the cardioprotection effects of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)on cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR).Method Male Sprague-Dawley rats were asphyxiated for 9 minutes and resuscitated.Rats wefe randomly divided into 4 groups,namely,sham asphysiation group,CPR group,Hemin group and Heroin +ZnPP group(zinc protoporyphyrin IX).Resuscitated groups were further divided into two subgroups according to various intervals:6 hours and 24 hours after resuscitation.Hemodynamic was observed.Serum creatine phosphokinase-MB(CPK-MB)and lactate dehydrogenase were determined.HO-1 in heart tissue homogenates was assayed.Ultrastructure of rats hearts was examined.Statical evaluation was performed with analysis of variance.Results The mean blood pressure(MBP)in resuscitated groups was significantly reduced after resuscitation,hadn't any difference between supgroups.The scores of dp/dt 40 and-dp/dt were significantly decreased in CPR group and Hemin+ZnPP group after resuscitation(all P<0.05),but dP/dt40 in Heroin group did nol differ significantly after resuscitation.and-dp/dt decreased only 0.5 hours and one hour after resuscitation and returned to baseline values two hours after resuscitation.The scores of dp/dt 40and-dp/dt in Heroin group at different intervals after resuscitation were significantly higher than those in CPR group and Hemin+ZnPP group(all P<0.05).Serum CPK-MB and LDH in CPR group and Hemin+ZnPP group at 6 hours and 24 hours after resuscitation were significantly higher than those in Hemin group(all P<0.05).The cardiac tissue ultrastructure of rats in Hemin group was more intact than that of CPB group and Hemin+ZnPP goup.HO-1 levels in heart tissue homogenates of Hemin group at 6 hours and 24 hours after resuscitation were significantly higher than those in CPR group and Heroin+ZnPP group(all P<0.05).Conclusions HO-1 expression induced by Heroin can effectively improve post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction,alleviate cardiac injury,keep the ultrassructure integrity of cardiac myocytes.It may be a new approach to treat myocardial dysfunction after resuscitation.

Objective:To investigate the expression of microRNA-Let-7a in the serum and tumor tissue of non-small cell lung cancer( NSCLC) patients and the effects of cancer cell migration and proliferation.Methods: 50 cases of NSCLC patients in our hospital as the study group,50 healthy volunteers were used as control group,we used Real-time RCR to detect the expression of microRNA-Let-7a in the serum and tumor tissue of NSCLC patients.Using microRNA let-7a mimics transfected into A549,the level of cancer cell migration was observed by transwell,the level of cell proliferation was observed by CCK-8,the level of k-Ras was observed by Real-time RCR and Western blot.Results: The expression of microRNA-Let-7a in the serum and tumor tissue of NSCLC patients was significantly higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).After microRNA let-7a transfected into A549,the levels of cancer cell migration and proliferation were significantly decreased,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05),the mRNA and protein levels of k-Ras were reduced inA549 cells,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:The expression of microRNA let-7a is low in the serum and tumor tissue of NSCLC patients,and may weaken the levels of cancer cell migration and proliferation through the Ras signaling pathway.
