Objective To investigate the antitumor mechanism of sodium arsenite on human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC-7901 in vitro. Methods MTT assay, light microscopy, electron microscopy, flow cytometry, and immunocytochemical staining were used to analyze the effect of sodium arsenite on biologic behavior of SGC-7901 cells. Results Sodium arsenite (2.50 ~ 40.00 ?mol/L) could inhibit the growth of gastric carcinoma cells, it depended on the duxation and concentration, and its 50% inhibitory concentration(IC50) was 8.69 ?mol/L after 72 hours' treatment. SGC-7901 cells were arrested significantly in G2/M phase treated with sodium arsenite for 48 and 72 hours. SGC-7901 cells presented typical morphologic feature of apoptosis and necrosis after exposure to sodium arsenite. Sodium arsenite up-regulated Caspase-3 protein expression in SGC-7901. Conclusion Sodium arsenite could obviously inhibit the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells, induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and necrosis of the cells. its mechanism is possibly associated with inhibition of elimination of ROS and the up-regulated expression of Caspase-3 protein.

The theory of static and dynamic combination coincides with the effect of osteoblast stress, although there are few articles on molecular biology about the theory in recent years. The treatment of static and dynamic combination theory for fractures and other orthopedic disorders is to use the localized stress fracture, and the stress controls bone formation results through afffecting proliferation of osteoblast differentiation, which has proved by relevant experimental evidence. This article discussed the molecular biology basis about the correlation between theory of static and dynamic combination and osteoblast proliferation and differentiation by stress stimulation.

ATP binding cassette C4(ABCC4,MRP4)plays an important role in transshipment physio-logic,endogenous or exogenous substances. The over expression of ABCC4 gene has been found in many kinds of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. The target gene also influences metastasis and recurrence process. ABCC4 can reduce the intracellular concentration and the sensitivity of various chemotherapy drugs, which is bad for prognosis.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether repetitive muscle tasks in low weight load might influence the fatigue of forearm muscles, and to identify ergonomic risk factors of forearm muscle fatigue in these tasks. Sixteen healthy male volunteers performed eight wrist extensions in different frequency, weight and angle loads while being instructed to keep a dominant upper limb posture as constant as possible. Surface electromyograph (sEMG) was recorded from right extensors digitorium (ED), flexor carpi radialis (FCR), flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) and extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) during the task performance. Our results showed that mean power frequency (MPF) and median frequency (MF) values of ED, FCR and FCU were significantly lower (P<0.05) at high frequency load level than at low load level. However, MPF and MF values of ED were significantly lower (P<0.01) in higher load groups of frequency, angle and weight than in lower load groups. These results indicated that the fatigue of muscles varied in the same task, and the number-one risk factor of ECU, ED and FCR was angle load.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, the effectiveness of stem cel transplantation in the treatment of spinal cord injury has been validated in animal models, and mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for treatment of spinal cord injury has been studied most widely. Currently, there are a number of relevant clinical studies that have shown a good prospect. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for spinal cord injury in human with a system review. METHODS:PubMed database, EMBASE database, Cochrane Library, ISI Web of knowledge, CBM database, VIP database, CNKI database and Wanfang database were searched from their start year up to July 2015 for relevant randomized clinical trials on the treatment of spinal cord injury with mesenchymal stem cel transplantation. The key words were“spinal cord injury, paraplegia, cel transplantation, transplantation, mesenchymal stem cel , bone marrow transplantation, stem cel , randomized control ed trial”in English and Chinese, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 260 articles were retrieved, including 6 randomized clinical trials (252 cases). In the aspects of ASIA touch sensation score, overal Frankel score and daily life activity training score, the patients undergoing mesenchymal stem cel transplantation were significantly superior to those in the control group (P<0.05). In addition, ASIA motor function score and residual urine volume were also improved in the patients undergoing mesenchymal stem cel transplantation, but there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, low fever was more common in the patients undergoing mesechymal stem cel transplantation (P<0.05). Another side effect was lower limb numbness, but there was no difference from the control group (P>0.05). These findings suggest that mesenchymal stem cel transplantation has limited efficacy in the treatment of spinal cord injury and cannot induce severe complications, but there is a need for high-quality randomized control ed trials to prove the efficiency and safety of mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for the treatment of spinal cord injury.

BACKGROUND:Methylprednisolone has been used for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury but there is a dispute about the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolon. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolon based on system review. METHODS:PubMed database, EMBASE database, Cochrane Library, ISI Web of knowledge, CBM database, VIP database, CNKI database and Wanfang database were searched from their start year up to December 2014 for relevant randomized clinical trials on the treatment of acute spinal cord injury with methylprednisolon. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Twelve randomized clinical trials with 642 acute spinal cord injury patients were included. The results of the Meta analysis showed: methylprednisolone+conventional therapy was better to improve American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor function score, ASIA touch sensation score, ASIA pinprick sensation score and the overal Frankel score than the conventional therapy alone (control group) with statistical significance (P < 0.05). In the aspect of safety, the methylprednisolone group had higher death ratio, digestive tract reaction ratio and urinary infection ratio than the control group but with no statistical significance. The gastrointestinal bleeding ratio and lung infection ratio was significantly higher in the methylprednisolone group than the control group (P < 0.05). We conclude that methylprednisolone has protective effect on acute spinal cord injury, but the main side effects are gastrointestinal bleeding and lung infection. There is a need for high-quality randomized controled trials to prove the efficiency and safety of methylprednisolone.
