Objective To investigate the effect of inhibiting the expression of Navl. 8 sodium channels by an antisense oligodeoxynudeotide(ODN) on visceral hypersensitivity. Methods The visceral hypersensitivity animal models induced by giving neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats colorectal distention(CRD) after postnatal days 8, 10 and 12. Animals were injected intrathecally either Navl. 8 antisense ODN (research group) or mismatch ODN (control group) twice a day for 3 days at the 8th week. After that, the expression of Navl. 8 in each group was examined by RT-PCR, and abdomiral withdrawal reflex(AWR) score and spinal c-Fos expression were evaluated to assess whether the intervention can relieve the visceral hypersensitivity. Results After intrathecal injection with the antisense ODN, the expression of Navl. 8 in each group decreased.AWR score and the number of c-Fos positive neurons in the spinal cord, especially in the area 1 and 3, decreased in the model group, while they did not change in the control group. Conclusions Interventing the expression of Nav1.8 may relieve the visceral hypersensitivity in this model of irritable bowel syndrome.

Objective:To clarify the effect of voltage-gated proton channel 1 (Hv1) on the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. Methods:The protein expression of Hv1 was detected in human breast cancer cell lines with different metastatic abilities. SiRNA technique was used to down-regulate the expression of Hvl in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Scratch and matrigel invasion methods were used to observe the effect of Hvl on the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells, and the relevant molecular mechanism was explored. Results:Hv1 was highly expressed in the highly metastatic breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Hvl was more highly expressed in MDA-MB-231 cells with higher metastatic ability. The SiRNA sequence target at Hvl inhibited Hvl expression. Scratch and matrigel invasion experiments showed that the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells were significantly attenuated when Hv1 was knocked down by siRNA targeting Hv1. Zymography experiment on matrix metalloproteinase indicated that the enzyme activities of MMP-2 markedly decreased. Conclusion:Hv1 promoted the migration and invasion ability of breast cancer cells.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bivalirudin during perioperation of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients older than 80 years old with acute coronary syndrome. Methods A total of 64 patients were randomly divided into two groups, respectively received heparin(n=32), or bivalirudin (n=32). We compared the activated coagulation time (ACT), procedural success rate, bleeding rate between two groups. Results The two groups ACT, PCI success rates are not statistically different, No signiifcant difference in the incidence of mild hemorrhage which is 4 (12.5%) for heparin and 1(3.1%) for bivalirudin and severe bleeding which is 2 (6.2%) for heparin and 0 for bivalirudin. However there are signiifcant differences in the overall incidence of bleeding between the two groups with lower incidence of beeding in the bivalirudin group than the heparin group (P<0.05). Conclusions Bivalirudin has comparable anticoangulation effect as heparin during perioperation of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients older than 80 years of age with acute coronary syndrome with lower bleeding incidence than heparin dose.

Objective:To silence ERCC2 (excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency,complementatin group 2,ERCC2) expression in esophageal cancer KYSE150 cells by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and observe the altered sensitivity of KYSE150 cells to paclitaxel (PTX) and elucidate the mechanism underlying the reversion of the PTX resistance of KYSE150 cells. Methods:ERCC2-targeted siRNA was synthesized in vitro and transiently transfected into ERCC2 overexpressing KYSE150 cells via Lipofectamine mediation. The mRNA and protein expression levels of ERCC2 were determined by using RT-PCR and FCM method, respectively. The sensitivity of KYSE150 cells to PTX was measured by MTT assay before and after siRNA transfection. Results:RT-PCR results suggested that the specific bands of ERCC2 mRNA were not detected in si-ERCC2 group at 24, 48 and 72 h post transfection. FCM results indicated that the expression levels of ERCC2 protein gradually decreased by 31.2%, 51.6% and 60.0% at 24, 48 and 72 h respectively(P<0.01). The IC_(50) value of PTX for ERCC2-silencing KYSE150 cells was (6.32±0.87) μg/mL, lower than that for control cells (P<0.01). Conclusion:siRNA successfully silenced the expressions of target gene ERCC2 at both the transcription and translation levels. Silencing ERCC2 expression partly reversed the resistance of KYSE150 cells to PTX.
