Background and purpose:The expression ofRab11 gene was increased incervical cancer cell and may be involved in the cellular malignant transformation. This study used the sequence-speciifc siRNA knocking down the expression of Rab11 gene and aimed to investigate its effect on invasion and migration of cervical cancer cell lines HeLa/SiHa and its mechanism.Methods:HeLa/SiHa cells were divided into 2 groups: non-speciifc siRNA group transfected with unrelated siRNA (Rab11-NC) and Rab11 siRNA group transfected with Rab11 siRNA (Rab11siRNA). Western blot was used to examine the Rab11 protein expression. Cell migration and invasion were detected by cell scratch and Transwell invasion assay. Western blot was used to further investigate the expression of Rac1, matrix metal-loproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 which were critical for regulating cell invasion. Moreover, immunolfuorescence was used to identify intracellular location of Rac1 in HeLa/SiHa cells.Results:The Rab11 siRNA inhibited expression of Rab11 gene (P<0.01). The invasion and migration capacities of HeLa/SiHa cells were markedly inhibited in Rab11siR-NA group (P<0.05). The expression of Rac1 signiifcantly decreased (P<0.01). The expression of MMP2 and MMP9 de-creased (P<0.05) as well. The recruitment of Rac1 to protruding edge signiifcantly decreased following down-regulation of Rab11.Conclusion:Down-regulatedRab11 expression could inhibit the expression of Rac1, MMP2 and MMP9, and alter the location of Rac1, leading to suppression of HeLa/SiHa cells migration and invasion.

Aim To explore the differences in hyper-trophic marker genes such as atrial natriuretic peptide ( ANP) , brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP) and β-myo-sin heavy chain (β-MHC) genes in different models of cardiac hypertrophy. Methods Respectively using re-nal abdominal aortic coarctation ( AAC) , arteriovenous fistula ( AVF) and isoproterenol ( ISO) methods to es-tablish C57BL/6 mouse model of cardiac hypertrophy. After modeling, each mouse ’ s body weight ( BW ) , heart weight ( HW) and left ventricular weight ( LVW) were weighed, and the heart weight ( HW/BW) and left ventricular index ( LVW/BW ) were calculated;myocardium by HE staining, pathological morphologi-cal changes were observed; myocardium by immuno-histochemistry, ANP, BNP and β-MHC protein ex-pression was observed;myocardium by Real-time PCR detection, ANP, BNP and β-MHC mRNA expression was observed. Results Compared with control group, HW/BW and LVW/BW were increased in three mod-els. Through the light microscope, each mouse model showed varying degrees of cardiac hypertrophy. ANP, BNP and β-MHC were increased in the protein and mRNA expression. Compared with AAC group, AVF and ISO groups’ myocardial tissue ANP, BNP and β-MHC expression were decreased in the protein and mRNA expression. Conclusions Three cardiac hy-pertrophy models are successful. Cardiac tissue ANP, BNP and β-MHC expression in AAC model exceeds AVF and ISO model.

Objective To explore the effect of Taichi exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) of postmenopausal women. Methods 105 postmenopausal women were divided into Taichi group (n=54) and control group (n=51). BMD was detected with dual energy X ray absorptiometry (DXA) in both groups. Results The BMD of L1, L2 and shaft of femur were higher in Taichi group than in control group (P<0.05). The BMD of L4, left neck of femur and left wards triangle were significantly higher in the Taichi group than in the control group (P<0.01).The prevalence of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) was lower in the Taichi group (31.48%) than in the control group (39.22%), but there was no significant difference. The BMD of L1, L2 and shaft of femur, left wards triangle and shaft of femur were higher in postmenopausal women excising Taichi more than 5 years (P<0.05). Conclusion Long-term of Taichi exercise may increase the BMD of the postmenopausal women effectively and prevent the development of PMOP.
