Background:Studies have shown that GEF-H1 can activate Rho protein, and is closely associated with tumorigenesis,tumor progression,infiltration,migration. Aims:To construct human pEGFP-GEF-H1 vector and stably transfect into colon cancer HCT116 cells,and determine the expression of GEF-H1. Methods:The gene sequence was designed according to the Online primers synthesis software for constructing recombinant plasmid pEGFP-GEF-H1. HCT116 cells were transfected with plasmid pEGFP-GEF-H1,empty plasmid,respectively,and HCT116 cells without transfection were served as blank control group. Expression of green fluorescence protein was observed under fluorescence microscope. mRNA and protein expressions of GEF-H1 were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively. Results:Human pEGFP-GEF-H1 vector was successfully constructed and identified by sequence analysis. After transfection with pEGFP-GEF-H1,green fluorescence could be observed in HCT116 cells,and the mRNA and protein expressions of GEF-H1 were higher than those in empty plasmid group and blank control group. Conclusions:Recombinant plasmid pEGFP-GEF-H1 is successfully constructed in vitro,and transfection into HCT116 cells leads to high expression of GEF-H1, thereby can provide experimental materials needed for further study on correlation between colon cancer and GEF-H1.

Objective To systematically review the efficacy and safety of solifenacin in the treatment of patients with bladder spasm after transurethral resection of prostate based on current evidence.Methods We searched Pubmed,EMbase,the Cochrane Library,CBM,CNKI,VIP and Wanfang Database from the establishment to October 2016 for the published literature on the treatment of patients with bladder spasm after transurethral resection of prostate with solifenacin.Two reviewers independently screened literature,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies.Then,meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 11 RCTs involving 621 patients were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that:compared with the no-solifenacin group(n=311),the numbers of bladder spasm episodes[MD=-1.38,95%CI(-1.97,-0.97)P<0.00001],duration of bladder spasm[MD=-0.26,95%CI(-0.41,-0.11),P=0.0008],the time of bladder perfusion clearance[MD=-0.59,95%CI(-0.88,-0.29),P<0.0001],indwelling catheter delivery[MD=-0.29,95%CI(-0.48,-0.11),P=0.09]in solifenacin group(n=310) reduced significantly,and there was no statistical difference in the incidence of overall adverse events between the two groups[RR=0.71,95%CI(0.17,2.98),P=0.64].Conclusion Current evidence indicates that solifenacin is more effective and safe in the treatment of patients with bladder spasm after transurethral resection of prostate.Due to the limited quantity and quality of the include studies,more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
