[Abstract ] Objective Cofilin-1 is involved in the pathogenesis of various tumours .However, the expression and effect of Cofilin-1 in hepatocellular carcinoma is not clear .The aim of this study is to observe the Cofilin-1 gene expression in human hepatocel-lular carcinoma (HCC) tissues, and to explore the effect of Cofilin-1 gene expression on invasion and metastasis of HCC HuH-7 cells. Methods Real-time quantitative PCR was used to assess the Cofilin-1 gene expression in human HCC tissues and normal tumor-ad-jacent tissues.The specific small interfering RNA ( siRNA) of Cofilin-1 sequence was synthetized in vitro , and was transfected into HCC HuH-7 cells using liposome transfection.The experiment was divided into Cofilin-1-siRNA group, Ctrl-siRNA group and un-transfected group.Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression of Cofilin-1.Migration and invasion experiments in vitro were used to investigate the invasive ability of transfected cells. Results Compared with the adjacent liver tissue , Cofilin-1 gene ex-pression in human liver cancer tissue was significantly increased (0.698 ±0.156 vs 3.523 ±0.412, P<0.05).The expression of Cofilin-1 protein in Cofilin-1-siRNA group was 0.558 ±0.033, which was lower than that in Ctrl-siRNA group ( 0.933 ±0.015 )
and in untransfected group (0.961 ±0.020) (P<0.05).The results of migration and invasion experiments in vitro showed that the amount of migration and invasion cells in Cofilin-1-siRNA group were significantly lower than Ctrl-siRNA group or untransfected group (58.50 ±1.78 vs 79.00 ±1.33, 74.50 ±1.35,P<0.05; 36.50 ±0.83 vs 60.20 ±1.60, 51.50 ±1.14, P<0.05). Conclusion Cofilin-1 is highly expressed in HCC, and the invasion and metastasis of HCC HuH-7 cells is suppressed by inhibiting the Cofilin-1 gene expression.

Objective To investigate the action mode of borneol on activity of epidermal skin;To investigate action mode of borneol as penetration enhancer. Methods The well-established and standard penetration enhancer Azone was employed as a positive control in this study. The cytotoxicities of borneol and Azone on HaCaT cells were detected by CCK-8 assay, and their half 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were calculated. The fluorescence recovery after photo bleaching was employed to investigate the effect of borneol and Azone on membrane fluidity, and the flow cytometer was used to monitor the changes of membrane potential of HaCaT cell after treated with these penetration enhancers. Results The IC50 values of borneol and Azone were 2.826 , 0.172 mmol/L, respectively. Borneol could significantly improve the membrane fluidity in a concentration-dependent manner, and effectively decrease the membrane potential of HaCaT cell, which exhibited the performances similar to those of Azone. Conclusion The penetration enhancement mechanism of borneol was associated with the concentrations of Ca2+ in keratinocytes, which changes the membrane fluidity and membrane potential of HaCaT cell.

BACKGROUND:It remains controversial in term of therapeutic efficacy of self-fixating mesh and sutured mesh in inguinal hernia repair. OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic effects of self-fixating mesh and sutured mesh in open inguinal hernia repair with Meta-analysis. METHODS:Comprehensive electronic search strategies were developed using the folowing electronic databases: Cochrane library, PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, Ovid, CNKI, Wanfang and FMJS. The Literature published before December 2014 was searched. Perspective randomized controled trials about comparing self-fixating mesh and sutured mesh in open inguinal hernia repair were included. A data-extraction sheet was developed based on the preset standards. The data from eligible studies were pooled through Meta-analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nine trials with a total of 2 100 inguinal hernia patients met the inclusion criteria, including 1 033 cases of self-fixing mesh and 1 067 cases of sutured mesh. The Meta-analysis showed that no significant differences were found between the two groups in the recurrence rate, seroma, hematoma, wound infection, pain, foreign body sensations (P > 0.05), but the duration of operation was less in the self-fixing mesh group than the sutured mesh group (P < 0.05). According to limited evidence, there are some findings as folows: self-fixating mesh is equivalent to sutured mesh in the therapeutic effects on open inguinal hernia repair. Because of the limits of samples and literature quality, more large-sample and high-quality trials are required to make a definite clinical evidence to use self-fixating mesh for groin hernia repair.

AIM:To investigate the effect of different oxygen concentrations on the differentiation of marrow stroma cells into osteoblasts and to evaluate the expression of Cbf?1 /Runx2,bone-morphogenesis protein 2 (BMP2) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ?2 (PPAR-?2) in bone marrow stromal cells. METHODS:The bone marrow stomal cells obtained from 4-month-old female SD rats were cultured in growth medium and were used between passages 3 to 5. The cells were divided randomly into 4 groups,each group has 8 samples. The cells in all 4 groups were used for the following experiments after cultured with different oxygen concentrations for 3 d in osteoblastic differentiation medium:total cellular RNA was isolated using total RNA kit; RT -PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression of Cbf?1 /Runx2,BMP2 and PPAR?2. The protein expression of Cbf?1 /Runx2 and BMP2 was assayed by Western blotting. RESULTS:Compared to the cells in normoxia condition (20% ),the mRNA and protein expressions of Runx2 were enhanced significantly,the mRNA expression of BMP2 was also enhanced significantly,the protein expression of BMP2 increased and the mRNA expression of PPAR?2 decreased significantly in the cells cultured with lower oxygen concentrations. The lower oxygen con-centration was in the culture,the more Runx2 mRNA,BMP2 mRNA,BMP2 and Runx2 protein were expressed. On the contrary,hypoxia significantly decreased the expression of PPAR?2 mRNA in bone marrow stronmal cells and the lower the oxy-gen concentration was used,the less expression of PPAR?2 mRNA was achieved. CONCLUSION:Hypoxia promotes the mRNA and protein expressions of Runx2 and BMP2,also significantly decreases the expression of PPAR?2 mRNA in bone marrow stronmal cells in an oxygen concentration dependent manner,indicating that hypoxia significantly stimulates the differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells into osteoblasts instead of lipocytes.
