Objective To study the effects and its mechanism of fentanyl(Fen) on the proliferation and cell cycle of human breast carcinoma line MCF-7. Methods MCF-7 cells were cultured in the medium with Fen, naloxone(Nx) or both the medicines at different concentration for different time. MTT method was employed to evaluate the level of the cell proliferation. The distribution of the cell cycle was detected with the flow cytometry (FCM). The expression levels of p53 and p21/WAF1 in the cells were determined by SP immunocytochemical staining method. Results Fen at≥0.1?mol/L concentration inhibited MCF-7 cells proliferation in dose- and time-dependent manners, and its IC 50 for 72h was 0.81?0.02 ?mol/L. However, the antiprolifeative effect of Fen was not antagonized by Nx. Fen significantly enhanced the ratio of G 0/G 1 phase MCF-7 cells, and decreased the proliferation index of MCF-7 cells in dose-dependent manner. Fen also upregulated the expression of p53 and p21/WAF1 in MCF-7 cells. Conclusion The data suggested that the inhibitory effect of Fen on MCF-7 cell growth might be mediated by blocking cell cycle progression from G 1 to S phase, and upregulating the expression of p53 and p21/WAF1.

BACKGROUND:Bone loss to different degrees may appear within 1 year after hip replacement in the femoral or acetabular sides, and severely affect long-term stability of the prosthesis and bone strength. Thus, to reduce bone loss around the prosthesis stem after total hip replacement is significant to prolong the use time of the prosthesis and to prevent fractures surrounding the prosthesis.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the preventive effect of zoledronic acid on bone loss surrounding the prosthesis stem after hip replacement.
METHODS:A total of 80 patients after total hip replacement in the People’s Hospital of Shenxian from February 2011 to September 2014 were enrol ed in this study. They were divided into two groups (n=40). At 4 days after replacement, patients in the observation group received treatment with zoledronic acid, but those in the control group did not give zoledronic acid. The rest medication was identical between the two groups. Bone mineral density in the hip was measured before replacement and at 1 year after replacement in both groups. Serum calcium and
phosphorus levels and alkaline phosphatase activities were observed before replacement, 3 days and 1 year after medication in the two groups. Adverse reaction during medication was recorded in the observation group.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average bone mineral density was significantly decreased in both groups at 1 year after replacement, and significant differences were found as compared with before replacement (P<0.05). The average bone mineral density was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group at 1 year after
replacement (P<0.05). Calcium and phosphorus levels were significantly diminished at 3 days after medication as compared with that before replacement (P<0.05). Calcium and phosphorus levels maintained at the level before replacement at 1 year after medication. Alkaline phosphatase activities were slightly reduced within a short time after replacement in both groups, but no significant difference was found as compared with before replacement (P>0.05). Alkaline phosphatase activities were low in the observation group at 1 year after medication, and significant difference was detected as compared with the control group and that before replacement (P<0.05). No significant difference in alkaline phosphatase activities was detectable in the control group between 1-year post medication and pre-replacement (P>0.05). Within two or three days after medication, nine patients suffered from varying degrees of muscle aches and fever in the observation group, and above symptoms were lessened after taking acetaminophen. These results verify that after total hip replacement, zoledronic acid injection can effectively prevent bone loss around the prosthesis in early stage after replacement, but fever symptoms may occur within a week after replacement. Thus, it is recommended that zoledronic acid injection can be given at 1 week after replacement. If fever and other symptoms appear, acetaminophen can be given.
